Volume 1: The Rising Storm in the Western Regions, Chapter 37: No coincidence
Zhao Rang followed Ye Sanniang to the entrance of a courtyard, opened the door, and found a rather elegant Jiangnan scenery inside.
A rockery was piled on the earth wall, and there was a stream of water more than two feet wide, pouring down from the top and forming a pool at the bottom. Fish were swimming in the pool, wagging their tails and splashing in the water from time to time.
"I took care of this all by myself. How is it? It's not bad, right?"
Ye Sanniang asked.
Zhao Rang has not seen such an exquisite garden layout for a long time. In a place like the Western Region where a gust of wind can accumulate half a foot of sand, apart from the oases occupied by large tribes and the palaces of the upper four kingdoms, Ye Sanniang's place
The courtyard must be unique!
"Not bad, really good!"
This admiration is sincere.
Although Zhao Rang is from the northern border of Dawei, he also likes the beauty of small and unique gardens like the Southland! In the courtyard of his Zhao family, there is also a Taihu stone transported from the Southland. It cost hundreds of manpower and thousands of taels in the beginning.
money.
Ye Sanniang smiled proudly, and then led Zhao Rang into the main hall.
The furnishings in the room were similar to those when she was in Yangguan, simple and clean, without any sense of cumbersomeness or cumbersomeness.
"Now, your little sweetheart is in this room, but she's already asleep!"
Ye Sanniang pointed to a room on the right side of the main hall and said.
The door was ajar, and a curtain hung on the door beam. Zhao Rang glanced at it and said:
"Let her continue to sleep when she falls asleep. She will be tortured tonight!"
Ye Sanniang teased:
"You're pretty good at hurting people!"
It turned out that the small road where Zhao Rang pushed Yuan Kexin was exactly where Ye Sanniang's villa was. Ye Sanniang had long been aware of the movement outside, but she was not ready to take action at the beginning.
As a third-grade grand master, there are very few things that can influence her thoughts. Zhao Rang can barely be considered a reason.
But more importantly, she had some grudge against the man who shot the arrow.
After comparing the two, she decided to take action. Anyway, she would not suffer a loss if she saved Zhao Rang's life. She could always get some interest back from him or the Zhao family in the future.
"It doesn't matter whether you hurt others or not...after all, those people are threatening me with this, so I have to bear the responsibility!"
Zhao Rang sighed and said, then he sat at the table in the main hall, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"The tea is cold, wait for me to boil some water!"
Zhao Rang finished his drink and said:
"No need. As long as it quenches my thirst, I can't taste it."
After saying that, he looked towards Ye Sanniang.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Sanniang thought something was wrong with her and asked.
"Nothing, I'm waiting for you to speak!"
Zhao Rang blinked and said.
Ye Sanniang sat down next to him and asked:
"What words? Dirty words or love words?"
Zhao Rang gave her a blank look and did not accept the conversation at all.
She just said a few words, but she lost her formality... But she couldn't do anything to her, so she could only wait quietly for Ye Sanniang to say what she wanted to say.
After drinking two more cups of herbal tea, the teapot has reached its bottom.
Ye Sanniang was a little surprised when she saw that Zhao Rang could really resist asking questions.
After all, from the first time they met, she felt that Zhao Rang was outspoken and forthright. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few days, his temperament became much calmer. It was really a surprise to see him after three days apart!
"I'm here to collect debt."
When Zhao Rang heard that Ye Sanniang finally spoke, he was secretly happy and felt that he had won.
It seems that as long as you keep your mouth shut at the critical moment, you can always reap some unexpected benefits.
"Favor debt?"
Ye Sanniang denied it.
The debt she collects is a real debt.
To her, only real money can be called debt. As for things like favor, she has long since given up on it.
Because her favors are often more useful than the other person's.
Since her favors are so useful, it means that there is nothing she can't do on her own.
Therefore, the worry of "favor debt" basically does not exist here.
"Is there anyone else who owes you money?"
Zhao Rang felt that Ye Sanniang was lying to him.
Anyone who owes her money will probably not be able to leave Yangguan alive.
Now that he knew that Ye Sanniang actually had the martial arts cultivation of a third-grade grandmaster, Zhao Rang was even more convinced of this.
"Actually, what you said makes sense."
Zhao Rang glanced at her.
Although this woman is extremely beautiful and speaks very nicely, you will never know which of her words are true and which of them are false.
If you can't tell what's true or false, you can't figure out her emotions. So you can tell when she's really happy and when she's really angry!
Women's tempers are inherently changeable, but Ye Sanniang is the best among them!
"I mean, what you said about debt of gratitude makes sense!"
This time Zhao Rang understood.
It seems that someone owed Ye Sanniang real money as a favor.
She originally wanted to exchange her sincerity for sincerity, but she didn't expect that the man exchanged his sincerity for real gold!
But this way, things become more interesting.
"I would like to know who is so capable and can take advantage of you!"
Ye Sanniang turned away, used scissors to cut off the candle wick, and then blew the sparks to the ground.
The flickering candlelight reflected on her face made her look less dusty, but also added a lot of mystery.
From the looks of it, Ye Sanniang seems to be no different from the little girl next door.
With her martial arts skills, the traces of time cannot yet be too obvious on her body.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. So you still can't be too nice to others! Otherwise, you will be easily deceived!"
After Ye Sanniang finished speaking, she raised her fist and hit herself on the head with some regret.
This move added a bit of playfulness to her!
"It's boring anyway, why not talk about it?"
Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows, looked at another empty room and said:
"There are many things you can do when you're bored, so why are you talking dryly here? Don't worry, I won't tell you about my little sweetheart when you get up tomorrow morning!"
She thought that Zhao Rang would definitely be amused and annoyed by her words again, but she didn't expect that Zhao Rang said:
"What's the point of being straight forward? Don't you have to talk first to add some atmosphere? The night is long!"
Ye Sanniang was slightly startled.
Compared with his own changeability, Zhao Rangcai is even more unpredictable.
This kid seems to be made of water! If you put it in a bowl, it will be a bowl, and if you put it in a gourd, it will be a gourd. Sometimes you think he can’t hold it anymore, but he can keep his composure!
"I told you, you don't know him... He's a horse dealer. He used to be one of the top horse dealers, but unfortunately he got addicted to gambling."
Ye Sanniang said with regret.
It could be seen that her relationship with this horse dealer was probably not bad, but it was before he got addicted to gambling.
Zhao Rang nodded empathetically.
There was also an uncle in his family who was addicted to gambling and even tried to steal knives from the Zhao family's "Hundred Sword Hall" to gamble. In the end, his wife and children were separated and he was removed from the family tree.
It is said that small gambling brings pleasure, high gambling harms the body, and large gambling harms life. This is exactly the case.
What's more, sometimes it's not just you who is harmed, but the whole family, old and young, has to suffer as well.
Zhao Rang just sighed and suddenly remembered the horse dealer he had met, a friend of Mr. Wang San.
He said that he suffered a lot of losses due to unfavorable business operations, so he went to Yangguanzhong and bought a group of high-quality girls, hoping to make a comeback!
Could it be...
On the surface, Ye Sanniang is the proprietress of a restaurant and inn, but in fact she doesn't refuse any profitable business, even if it means losing her family's fortune.
According to her, she is a woman anyway. Even if a woman gives birth to a child, her surname will not be the same as hers. She is an outcast, so she doesn’t need to worry about these messy taboos, as long as she gets real money!
"Did the horse dealer you mentioned buy a group of girls from Yangguan more than ten days ago? And in order to avoid the detection of the Western Region Merchant Alliance, he took a long way to the Lanmo King's City?"
Ye Sanniang's eyes widened and she stared at Zhao Rang motionless!
Although she is a third-grade grandmaster, she is not a fairy, and she can do things like pinching and calculating.
When she heard that Zhao Rang actually knew these things and told the details very accurately, Ye Sanniang couldn't help but be shocked!
"Good guy, am I right?"
Zhao Rang said it casually with the attitude of giving it a try. Ye Sanniang's reaction proved that he was right!
Ye Sanniang asked eagerly:
"Have you seen him? Where is he?!"
Zhao Rang shook his head and told Ye Sanniang how he and Yuan Mingkong planned to identify this person.
After hearing this, Sanniang Ye also felt that this method was indeed a good one!
It's a pity that Zhao Rang has already used it. No one will be deceived by the same method twice!
What's more, in order to save Zhao Rang tonight, she made a lot of noise in the royal city, so that person will definitely not show up.
"I didn't have a close relationship with him, but he brought Mr. Wang San here, so I didn't even ask for a deposit for these girls. Before we left, we drank in the inn, and he flattered her a lot.
, I was tired of hearing it... Finally, it was decided that after the sale was made, he would pay me 20% more."
"Who knew that I haven't seen a single copper penny so far?"
Zhao Rang took over and said.
"Who knew that I haven't seen a single copper penny yet!"
Ye Sanniang repeated Zhao Rang's words, but her tone was completely different.
After understanding the entanglement, Zhao Rang felt that sometimes the world was so small...so small that everyone seemed to have some connection with each other if they inquired deeply about each other.
However, he was still more concerned about what Ye Sanniang would do next. He and Yuan Mingkong were still tracing the whereabouts of the 500,000 arrows, and even involved a prince and a princess...
If Ye Sanniang is willing to help, it will be much easier for them.
But if you want to persuade her to take action, you must have a price that can make her heart beat.
When Min Si looked miserable, Ye Sanniang suddenly said:
"Okay, it seems we can't get the money back! You and your sweetheart can stay in this courtyard as long as you like, as long as you remember to lock the courtyard door for me when you leave!"
