Chapter 11: Road Encounters
The mustache was dumbfounded: "Wow, it's really a master." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info his bench kung fu is simply perfect, I guess I can't hide it. Then he looked at the proprietress of this shop, as if judging whether the proprietress was powerful.
The proprietress was a little psychologically weak by him, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the horses tied to her, and said, "Don't you two have any money to go to the rivers and lakes?" It doesn't matter, I'll look for you ten taels of silver for a horse. ”
"Deal! I'm betting on two horses here. ”
I'm looking for a place to dispose of two horses here. I didn't expect the boss to take the initiative to offer a price, although it was slightly lower than the market price, but it would save a lot of trouble.
This time coincided with the heyday, and the price of horses was not very high.
The boss brought soup to the two of them. The taste is really good, the entrance is refreshing but not greasy, the fragrance is attractive, and there is no fishy smell.
The two of them were sitting and drinking soup, when they suddenly felt a gloom in front of them, and the sunlight that had just come out was blocked by more than half.
Liu Ping'an looked up, was surprised, stood up and shouted, "Senior brother, Gongzi Xie." You're also in Cangzhou!"
The person who came was Xie Pi and Xu Da. The two of them were not polite, Xu Da pulled out the stool for Young Master Xie to sit down, and sat next to him with his ass. He also beckoned the boss to bring two bowls of mutton noodles.
Xie Pi looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Liu for your help in Qingfeng Building last time, but I didn't expect Brother Liu to be both civil and military, much better than you, a stupid senior brother who can only drive horses." ”
Xu Da didn't care, he smiled.
"Where, it just happens. I would like to thank Childe for the cheats. Liu Ping'an was a little embarrassed, this light skill in the wind and waves happened to be what he needed. Thanks to its life-saving for the past two days, I still earned it myself.
Xie Pi looked at the proprietress who came over with mutton noodles, and said thank you after taking it. Stirring twice with chopsticks, he suddenly asked, "Brother Liu and Brother Hu are going to Huai'an Mansion on business?"
There is nothing to hide about this, so I answered directly. It's strange why the other party can know the destination of the two of them directly.
Xie Pi was silent and said, "I don't know what kind of dart the two of you are on this trip?"
"I'm sorry, but the game doesn't disclose customer information. Liu Ping'an refused without hesitation, he had an intuition that Xie Pi and the others were also coming for this dart.
glanced sideways at Xu Da, and the other party was busy eating noodles. A junior brother and a proprietor obviously don't want to meddle in.
The mustache had been silent, he was not familiar with Xie Pi, and then suddenly interjected: "Could it be that Gongzi Xie knows what kind of dart we are protecting this trip?" He has always been very curious about the dart he protects.
Xie Pi didn't answer, and said directly: "Then can you borrow a dart to take a look?"
Liu Ping'an drank the last sip of soup and said firmly: "I'm sorry." The rules of the dart game, people are in the dart, the dart is lost, and the dart cannot be borrowed. After speaking, he stood up again and said, "If Young Master Xie is not ready to use force, the two of us will be out of company, and we have to hurry with the heavy responsibility." ”
"Xie Mou is also a friend who has shared hardships with Brother Liu, how can he be strong. Xiaohua won't say yes, right?"
Xu Da still buried his head in eating noodles, and the mustache got up and walked into the proprietress shop's shop to discuss the change of horses, and after a while, he came out with a smile.
Liu Ping'an hugged his fists at the two and said apologetically: "Farewell." Next time I go to the capital, I will apologize to Gongzi Xie and my senior brother. ”
"Go all the way, be careful not to lose the dart. Xie Pi didn't seem to mind at all.
The two rode through Cangzhou City on horseback, and bought a few changes of clothes in a ready-to-wear shop, packed some dry food before leaving the city.
Run all the way out of the city. Liu Ping'an always felt that someone was staring at him, but he looked around many times and didn't find anything abnormal.
However, Liu Ping'an has always trusted his instincts, especially after these two battles. As soon as he told the mustache, the two decided to try to get rid of it as fast as possible, and if anyone did follow, they would either show up or fall behind.
The official road in Cangzhou is quite smooth and wide, and it can almost be driven by four horses. The two of them went all the way south and ran for two hours in one go. Clouds of smoke rolled up behind the horsetail, but no one was following him when he looked behind him many times.
"Second brother, are you so sure that your intuition will not go wrong? I don't see a single ghost on the ground except for an eagle flying in the sky. Although the horse is running, but the person on the horse is actually very hard, and he has to endure the bumps and friction constantly, and the mustache can't stand it anymore, and rolls his eyes.
But the feeling of being watched by others has always existed, and it has been like a thorn in the back since he entered Cangzhou. Liu Ping'an looked at the spewing horse, and was also a little lacking in confidence, and hesitated: "Let's go slowly and try, there is a tea shed in front, let the horse rest first." ”
On both sides of the official road are many such tea sheds. A few logs to build a straw hut, hang a few tables, fly a flag, and stand one or two men in it.
Although this kind of shed is called a tea shed, it is actually served with all the food and drinks, but there are not many customers who only drink tea and rest.
Liu Ping'an and the two asked for a pot of wine, ordered three side dishes, and asked Xiao Er to feed the horse with grass and water. After the mustache spontaneously made a windfall, he was obviously wealthy, although he hadn't cashed it yet, but he no longer cared about the daily small money.
"I said, second brother, I got another twenty taels of silver from selling horses today, don't you want this money?" the mustache laughed.
Liu Ping'an glanced at him and said, "Don't." After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was too much of a loss, and then said: "When you return to the capital, you won't have a share of the reward given by the dart board." It's mine, no matter how much!"
The mustache pouted: "Deal." But is there a difference? It's just a different way for you. It is said that our Shaolin bald donkeys are not enlightened, and I think the disciples taught by your Huashan are even more pedantic!"
"Whatever you think, I don't make a fortune from the dead anyway. ”
"Second brother, do you say that we have known the rumors in the dart game for a long time, but we didn't know the inside story? In the past two days, no matter how I think about it, I feel that it is a bit unruly for Mr. Luan to talk to the two of us before the trip, and he also specially explained that the people are in the dart, and the dart is lost. ”
Liu Ping'an glanced at him with disdain and said, "You are really an afterthought, and now you feel a little abnormal." But since you have received this dart, let's stick to the end, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it. Afraid of a bird. ”
The two chatted while eating. At this time, a rhythmic allegro sounded, and everyone in the tea shed looked up, and it turned out to be a little old man with a little girl preparing to tell a story.
In these years, there are often little girls who sell singing and storytellers in the teahouses and wine shops to patronize and ask for a few rewards. They all rely on skills to eat, and the boss will not come over to interfere, but will like it a little.
I saw that the little old man knocked on the bamboo board for a while, gathered everyone's eyes and began to speak.
