Chapter Twenty-Six: The Jade Plate
The sky had already darkened, and the three of them followed the official road to a market town. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's right, it's just a market town, and although it looks small, it doesn't even have a city wall. However, this market town, located on the official road, seems to be a commodity distribution center, gathering many merchants from all over the world, and is also close to a ferry port, which is a water and land transportation hub, which seems to be very lively.
In the streets of the market town, in the slightly crowded flow of people, two horses slowly moved forward as if walking.
"Let's stay here for the night!" said Yunkong Road, which stopped at the door of an inn on horseback with a pull on the reins.
Bai Shuzi on the horseback on the side nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted directly.
"Girl, be careful!" Yunkong, who then turned over and dismounted, bent slightly and smiled at the woman in the pale yellow Luo skirt as if he was very polite and flattering.
The woman in the pale yellow Luo skirt, who was also more flexible and turned over and dismounted, glared fiercely at the sky with her beautiful eyes with a slightly red face, and walked straight into the hotel with her package on her back.
"Hey, Brother Yun, what's going on?, why do you seem to be angry?" Bai Shuzi leaned over and asked suspiciously.
Seeing that Xiao Er was coming over to lead the horse, he reached out and took out a small cloth bag like a pale silver money bag from the pocket on the horse's back, and looked at Yunkong casually stuffed into his arms without a trace, and shrugged his shoulders slightly and said: "A woman's heart is a needle, how do I know which tendon she has made the wrong match?"
"Brother Yun, why can't you straighten your waist? It's nothing, right?" Bai Shuzi, who walked into the hotel side by side with Yunkong, noticed that Yunkong was slightly hunched over, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Yunkong, who waved his hand lightly, pretended to be casual and said: "It's okay, after riding a horse for a day, my back hurts a little." You also know that these two people are riding horses, especially with a woman sitting in the front, which is really inconvenient. ”
"Oh . . . Is it?" Glancing at the 'tent' that was faintly visible under Yunkong, Bai Shuzi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows lightly with a slightly strange expression: "Brother Yun, since it's so hard, I think it's better to let that Yujiao girl ride a horse with me tomorrow!"
"Hmph!" When Yunkong and Bai Shuzi walked towards the counter in the hotel, they saw the pale yellow Luo skirt woman Yujiao who had opened a room in front of the counter turned around and glared at Yunkong again, snorted coldly and went upstairs.
Seeing this, Yunkong couldn't help but pouted with a slight twinkle in his eyes: "I'm afraid that tomorrow, we will part ways with her." ”
"Two upper rooms!" Bai Shuzi went straight to the counter and said to the proprietress of the half-aged behind the counter.
"Hey, two sons, I'm sorry! Our upper room here is just full, and the last first-class guest room is also given to the girl just now, but there are still a few second-class rooms, you haven't seen it." The proprietress said with a sneer.
Yunkong casually left a silver ingot on the counter: "Okay, two second-class rooms!" ”
"Okay, two sons, you go upstairs to rest first, the food and wine will be ready soon," the proprietress with a bigger smile on her face smiled and hurriedly handed the keys to the two guest rooms to Yunkong.
took the key and threw one of them to Bai Shuzi, went straight upstairs to Yunkong, came to the upstairs guest room, and then turned his head to Bai Shuzi who was about to open the door and enter the room on the other side and said, "Brother Bai, let's go to my room and sit down first! Let's have dinner together later, and by the way, I have something to tell you." ”
"Okay!" Bai Shuzi, who nodded and smiled slightly, put away the key and entered his guest room with the cloud sky who opened the door.
In the guest room, the sky with a candle lit greeted Bai Shuzi, and the two sat down at the table in the guest room together.
After sitting down, Yunkong took out the pale silver money bag-like small cloth bag from his arms, opened it under Bai Shuzi's slightly curious gaze, and took out a jade medal with a jade light shining from it. There seemed to be some lines of handwriting on the jade plaque, but because of the flickering light on it, it was not clear at all.
"It's .." When Bai Shuzi saw the shining jade plate, his face couldn't help but change.
"What? do you recognize this jade plaque?" was contemplating his eyebrows and looking at the cloud sky of the jade plaque in confusion, and couldn't help but look at Bai Shuzi in surprise.
Stretched out his hand to take the jade plaque from Yunkong's hand, looked at it carefully, hesitated slightly, and then shook his head lightly: "I have indeed seen similar jade plaques, but I can't be sure if this jade plaque is the same as the one I saw." ”
"The same kind?" Yunkong heard this and his heart moved, could it be that there was more than one jade plaque?
"Brother Yun, where did you get this jade plate?" Bai Shuzi couldn't help but ask curiously.
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked at Bai Shuzi and said with a smile: "I said that someone sent it to me, do you believe it?"
"Could it be that Brother Yun's elders sent it?" Bai Shuzi's expression moved slightly.
Yunkong, who was stunned, couldn't help laughing: "Why, Brother Bai's elder gave you a similar jade plate?"
"This.." Bai Shuzi, who was slightly stunned, continued to ask with a slight surprise: "What is this jade plate in Brother Yun's hand?"
"Maybe you don't believe it, it was that Yujiao girl who secretly put it in the pocket on my horse's back," Yunkong smiled meaningfully: "She may want to thank us for saving her life, so she gave us this as a thank you, but she was afraid that we would not accept it, so she secretly sent it." ”
Bai Shuzi was surprised when he heard this, and then couldn't help but say, "Brother Yun, it's not right, this..."
"What's the matter? Brother Bai finally thinks that something is wrong with that Yujiao girl now?" Yunkong smiled.
Something is wrong? Bai Shuzi, whose expression changed, came back to his senses slightly, and couldn't help but say, "What does Brother Yun mean?"
"That jade girl, maybe she just wants to leave something with us. However, I've always been a real person, and I'll treat it as if she was for me," Yunkong shrugged and smiled.
Bai Shuzi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but react: "Brother Yun, this... Not really, right?"
"What's wrong?" Yunkong said with a smile: "Brother Bai, this thing may cause us trouble." But I'm really curious about what this thing is, otherwise I'll just throw it away."
"Don't throw .." Bai Shuzi hurriedly opened his mouth when he heard this, but when he saw Yunkong raising his eyebrows and looking at him, he couldn't help but flash his eyes and said: "I mean, this thing doesn't look ordinary, if it's something precious, it's a pity to throw it away." ”
Yunkong smiled noncommittally: "So, I'm going to take a little risk and take it with me." But since I have taken the risk, do you think that if that jade girl comes to me to ask for it in the future, should I give it back to her?"
"This.." Bai Shuzi listened for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and at the same time, Xiao Er's voice came from outside: "Guest officer, your wine and food!"
"I'll open the door!" Yunkong, who said with a light smile, went straight up and opened the door of the guest room.
And Bai Shuzi, who had his back to the clouds, looked at the jade plate in his hand, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Brother Bai, don't look at it, get ready to eat! Rest early after eating, let's continue to rush tomorrow!" Soon Yunkong came back with the food box, and greeted Bai Shuzi with a smile.
"Oh!" Bai Shuzi, who came back to his senses, hurriedly handed the jade plate in his hand to Yunkong: "Brother Yun, you should keep this jade card!"
Putting the food box on the table, Yunkong, who took the jade card, smiled noncommittally, casually stuffed it into the pale silver money bag-like small cloth bag, and then put it into his arms, and then lifted the lid of the food box and took out one of the dishes: "Tsk, it's very fragrant! It looks like the dishes are good!"
"Come on, Brother Bai, how about you taste this wine!" Yunkong, who had set up the dishes, grabbed the wine jug and smiled and poured a glass of wine for Bai Shuzi first.
Yunkong could see that Bai Shuzi was a little distracted, and it seemed that he did know a little bit about the jade plate, but he didn't want to speak out because of some scruples. However, Yunkong seemed to be very free and casual, and he didn't pay much attention to it. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and he believes that he will soon know what the jade plate is.
Bai Shuzi didn't drink much, so he waved his hand and said that he was not strong enough to drink. Yunkong was not reluctant, and drank the rest of the wine alone. Alcohol that you spend money on can't be wasted. Besides, the wine in the mundane world of this era is about the same as beer, with a low degree, and the body that is now strong and perverted in the mundane world is not afraid of getting drunk.
Looking at Yunkong's free and casual appearance, he was a little sure that Yunkong should really not know what the jade card was, otherwise anyone who had this jade card would not casually take it out and show it to others.
Bai Shuzi, who hadn't drunk much wine and hadn't eaten much food, had a faint hint of inexplicable melancholy flashing in his eyes.
