546: Encountering Fatty Fish (Part 2)【Monthly Pass】
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Just as Qin Li speculated, the young lady of the Zhao family has not only been familiar with the art of war since she was a child, but has also been able to apply it flexibly in various aspects of life, such as running away from home. She knew that the relationship between her father and He Yin was unclear,
He had a close friendship with the two former governors of Heyin. If he defected to Heyin, it would be like throwing himself into a trap, and he would be caught and taken home within a few days.
So, she threw out fake news to confuse people's attention.
She deliberately mentioned He Yin to the manager of the carriage house to prevent the other party from being unimpressed. She also mentioned it two or three times to deepen the impression.
Under the protection of two rented short-distance guards, they left the Tianhai Administrative Office overnight and settled their wages on the way to Shangnan. At first, the two refused to agree. According to the rules, they were required to escort the people to their destination safely.
to leave.
If you get fired midway, you won't get the full payment.
The young lady from the Zhao family smiled and said: "I won't deduct your money. Not only will I not deduct it, but I will also give you an extra 20% commission. You can take the 20% commission and play around for seven or eight days before returning to Tianhai. When you get back, tell me directly.
Just escort me to my destination."
When they heard about this good thing, they were shaken.
but--
Out of professionalism and conscience, they still hesitated to remind the young-faced young man: "It's chaotic outside, bandits are rampant, and young man may encounter gangsters when he goes on the road alone... It can be seen that young man is also a martial artist, after all, he has two fists."
Hard to beat with four hands."
The young lady of the Zhao family is currently dressing up as a young man. In order to highlight her masculine features, she deliberately darkens her face and neck, thickens her eyebrows, outlines the edges of her eyebrows, and downplays her feminine features as much as possible. In addition, she is not very old, so she can still fool around.
.
"Well, don't worry, you two. I'm going to join the caravan and go on the road together. We'll take care of each other, so it should be fine."
Seeing that the young lady of the Zhao family had an idea, the short-distance escort couldn't persuade her any more, so she weighed the settlement commission and left with satisfaction.
After the two left, the young lady of the Zhao family did sit in the tea shop next to the official road for a long time, drinking tea to quench her thirst while observing the merchants coming and going. Although the world is chaotic, people still need to eat. What if merchants don't do business?
Make money to support your family?
In order to ensure safety and reduce the risk of doing business, several merchants from the same town often travel together to share the cost of hiring guards.
The young lady of the Zhao family observed them, not only to observe their trading destination, but also the size, strength and even the temperament of the merchant guards. After searching for a long time and refilling the tea three times, she finally identified the target and stepped forward to recommend herself as a guard.
.
I don’t care about money, I just want to have companionship along the way.
Several merchants sitting around hesitated when they saw that she was not tall and had a tender face. Who knew whether she was telling the truth or not? Did she really want to be a partner, or was she a spy sent by the bandits? So they made things difficult and declined: "If you can follow her,
After a few moves, he agreed."
The young lady of the Zhao family raised her gun and said, "Easy to say!"
Although the merchant didn't know the trade, he had to praise her for her marksmanship and her beautiful figure. Almost as soon as they met, she sent the tip of the spear to the escort's door, and stopped it steadily less than a finger away. She was so shocked that
The guard's hair stands on end.
Seeing this, the merchant could no longer refuse.
He nodded and allowed her to join the convoy.
The young lady of the Zhao family was assigned to the end of the caravan. An old caravan worker accompanying her saw that she was short in stature and was carrying a long gun. She was so happy that she felt soft-hearted, so he waved her to sit on the cart, which would save her two days of walking.
Step: "Little Lang, come up."
"Thank you!"
The young lady from the Zhao family was so happy that she jumped into the car.
Only then did I realize that someone was already sitting on the cart carrying goods. The person was dressed as a scholar, with bright red clothes, long strands of blue hair, and a large, fresh red flower in his hair. He was sitting with his legs stretched out casually.
, taking up most of the open space.
Look at its appearance again...
How to say?
Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and lips, taken individually, can be said to be good-looking, but when combined on a face as fair as snow, there is something indescribably weird. The young man pursed his lips tightly, and his eyebrows were slightly gathered, and he was looking at the most beautiful face.
In a leisurely posture, he lowered his head and thought about something.
The young lady from the Zhao family subconsciously looked at the man's waist, and sure enough she found a red heart monogram decorated there.
This young man is a literary scholar.
The monogram seal is still a peony pattern in full bloom. She knows that she is very fragile, and it is not a problem to bully a few ordinary people when she goes out, but when she encounters a literary scholar or a courageous warrior, she will avoid it if she can, and hide if she can.
Don't offend if you don't offend...
Her father can't suddenly alleviate her predicament.
The young lady from the Zhao family said nothing, curled up her hands and feet, and sat down in the only space, taking care to avoid the young man's feet.
Traveling in caravans is boring.
Occasionally, someone would joke and joke, which would only lighten the atmosphere a little. Once they entered a sparsely populated road, the whole team had to be more vigilant to prevent bandits from suddenly jumping out to kill people and steal goods. The road was bumpy, and it was uncomfortable for the young lady of the Zhao family to maintain one posture for a long time.
Just as he was hesitating whether to talk to the young scribe and give her some space, the other party suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Seeing this, the young lady of the Zhao family subconsciously grabbed the gun body and beat a drum in her heart - could there be something wrong with this?
Who knows——
The young man just turned his head with a calm expression.
"Are you nervous?"
"A little bit."
Young scribe: "You're so nervous that you still run out to enter the world?"
The young lady from the Zhao family swallowed.
"Everyone has a first time! Is someone coming?"
The young scribe relaxed his back, leaned back, drooped his eyelids, and said nonchalantly: "Just a few little thieves."
Literary scholars have the confidence to say this.
But the young lady of the Zhao family is an ordinary person.
She got up quickly and jumped off the cart, running towards the head of the caravan and shouting: "There are bandits ahead, everyone, please be alert!"
The advancing caravan suddenly stopped. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the leader shouted "Beware", and the guards drew their swords. Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, heads popped out from hiding places. There were about thirty people.
Holding a bloody sword, he stopped the caravan.
"Leave something behind and spare your life."
Merchants are not intimidated. How many men want to abandon the goods that are related to the life of the whole family just by shouting a few words?
dream!
But I didn't expect these bandits to be of all types.
Robbery in the open and sneak attacks in the dark.
A rough estimate is that there are more than fifty people.
There was a fierce battle, but the bandits did not expect that there was a literary scholar in the caravan, and he was also a very powerful literary scholar. In secret, all the arrows were blocked by this humanistic wall. After a battle, more than ten people were left behind.
The corpse fled in disgrace.
The leader of the merchant was filled with gratitude to the young man. The young man said nothing and just threw a piece of golden cake into the other man's arms.
"then."
The merchant reached for the object without knowing why.
This object still has body temperature, and it looks familiar!
He raised his hand and touched his neck, but it was empty.
"Sir, this, this is..."
The young scribe said quietly: "Yours."
"Me, mine? It does seem like mine..."
The merchant Zhanger and the monk were confused.
Before he started doing business, he accidentally got a piece of gold ingot of excellent quality, so he asked a craftsman to beat the gold ingot into a small gold cake and hang it around his neck, hoping that he would be lucky. When did it leave him and end up in the hands of a young scribe???
He didn't dare to say, and he didn't dare to ask.
Some things are hard to be confused about, so why bother to get to the bottom of it and annoy the other person? On the contrary, you will not get any benefits...
Turn around and ask the rest of the caravan to clean up the battlefield.
The young lady of the Zhao family was carrying a spear stained red by blood and carefully cleaning it by the stream. It happened that the young man was sitting nearby.
She raised her head and lowered her head, lowered her head and raised her head again.
I want to speak but stop, I stop but I want to speak.
The young man felt uncomfortable when she looked at him: "If you want to ask, just ask."
The young lady from the Zhao family asked curiously: "When I was at the tea shop, I saw that thing hanging on someone's neck. You didn't get close to him, so why did it get into your hands later?"
The young scribe did not answer the question.
"Do you know a saying?"
The young lady of the Zhao family didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"
Although her father did not restrain her, the people and things that the young lady of the Zhao family could come into contact with were still lacking and boring. Where could there be the excitement of meeting such a businessman for half a day? Distance brings beauty. Her father is a brave warrior, so a brave warrior is more important to her.
There is nothing mysterious about it. The literary scholar is different. Her understanding of the latter is limited to Uncle Qin who often comes to visit her home...
He is obviously such a gentle and elegant person, but my father is tall, strong and muscular, but he respects and awes Uncle Qin.
This curiosity has also been transferred to the young people.
Listen to what he said: "A gentleman does not take away from others' favor."
The young lady from the Zhao family nodded honestly: "I know."
The young scribe raised the corners of his lips for the first time, and his still dignified and upright face became treacherous and evil for no reason.
