Of course, when Tao Qiqi saw the guards, she had the same reaction.
After waiting in line for a long time, she bought all the commonly used medicines, paid the money, picked up the medicines, and then left the pharmacy.
Tao Qiqi, who originally planned to take a small road out of the city, just walked out of the big alley and was about to cross the small alley, when the guards were waiting for him in front.
The guard bowed respectfully to Tao Qiqi and said, "Young Master, my Young Master has invited you!"
Hearing this, Tao Qiqi looked around, found no one, and said, "Lead the way!"
Since the other party is waiting for her here, instead of wasting time asking here and there, she might as well go directly and ask him.
Then Tao Qiqi followed the man's guard on the street and arrived in front of a small courtyard on West Street.
The two of them entered the courtyard, closed the door, and guarded: "My young master is waiting for you in the main room."
After hearing this, Tao Qiqi went directly to the main room. At this time, the man and the lady were inside.
Seeing Tao Qiqi's arrival, Madam quickly stood up and prepared to pour tea for Tao Qiqi.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi said: "Madam, don't bother, I'm not thirsty. My family is still waiting for me outside the city. If you have any questions, please just tell me."
Hearing this, the man gently opened the box on the table.
Seeing that there was a box of silver inside, Tao Qiqi was puzzled and asked: "Master, what does this mean??"
Man: "Young Master is fleeing with his family, but heading south?"
Tao Qiqi: "Tell the important point!"
"Okay, you can tell from one look at the young master that he is a cheerful person. I have a heartfelt request. I would like to ask the young master to help escort my mother to Nanguan. Once there, the young master only needs to hand over my mother to a man named Jiang Dong.
.These silvers should be regarded as payment for the young master’s hard work.”
"If I hadn't lost my memory, I remember that we had only met once, and had spoken only a handful of words. You just handed your mother over to a stranger like this? Aren't you afraid that I would abandon her halfway? Or maybe
Use her in exchange for more silver?"
"You won't." The man replied without hesitation.
"So confident."
"No, it's not self-confidence, it's belief. I believe that a person who dares to sacrifice his life many times to save others will never do such an unjust thing."
After hearing this, Tao Qiqi looked at the man.
The man continued: "Since the young master doesn't want others to know, we naturally won't say a word. Just because the young master has sacrificed his life to save others many times, I believe you. I can feel completely at ease when I leave my mother to the young master."
"Then you are not afraid that I am sent by your enemy? I will deliberately get close to you, gain your trust, and then let you fall into a trap step by step?"
The man replied: "You are not, aren't you? If you were one of theirs, why would they bother to go to such great lengths to get close to me if they had men as skilled as you? Wouldn't it be easier for you to take action directly?"
Tao Qiqi nodded: "Although this is the truth, there is another point. How can you be sure that I will definitely agree to you? You must know that the little money you gave is not enough for me to take my whole family on adventures.
Escorted.”
"I'm not sure you will agree to this, but I have to give it a try. What if you agree? Moreover, my mother has already told me about last night. The young master did not know that there was something in the carriage before he rescued me.
The person is my mother. This is enough to confirm that the young master is kind-hearted and will never see the people being oppressed."
"It's not impossible for me to agree. You answer a few questions for me first, and then I'll think about it."
"Okay, if you can answer, I will tell you everything." The man agreed without hesitation.
"The first question is, why are those people trying so hard to kill you?" Tao Qiqi asked.
The man replied: "For power!"
"Second question, are you staying this time, but are you planning to return to Du'an?"
When the man heard this question, he looked at Tao Qiqi, thought for a while and replied: "That's right."
"Then you are not afraid that you will never come back? What will your mother do in the future?"
"If the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, how can they feel at ease?"
After hearing the man's answer, Tao Qiqi nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I will accept your request. However, what I agreed was not to escort your wife to Nanguan for you, but to promise to accompany you.
Your mother is waiting for you here, and I will leave when you return victorious."
Tao Qiqi is not worried about the dangers on the road, nor is she dissatisfied with the lack of money. She just understands that as a mother, she is worried about her son.
After hearing Tao Qiqi's words, the lady standing by her eyes instantly turned red, and she squeezed out three words in a choked voice: "Thank you!"
Looking at Madam's expression, Tao Qiqi raised her lips and said, "It just so happened that I took my family to escape from the drought for nearly half a month. It's good to come to the city to rest."
Man: "Don't worry, young master, I will let people arrange everything here. Young master, just stay here with your family."
"Okay, but my family is still outside the city, so I need to pick them up first."
"Okay." The man nodded.
Then Tao Qiqi left the yard and headed straight outside the city gate.
After Tao Qiqi left, the man said to his guard: "Chang Ning, go and clean up the room. Chang Wu, go buy some rice, flour, grain and oil and come back."
"Yes, young master." Chang Wu responded and walked out of the yard, heading straight to the grain store.
After Tao Qiqi, Tao Qiniang and the others met here, they briefly explained the matter to everyone, and then the group drove the carriage into the city again.
Returning to the courtyard just now, Chang Wu, who happened to go out to buy rice, flour, grains and oil, also came back.
Seeing this, the man said to Chang Wu: "Chang Wu, you and Chang Ning move the young master and his family's luggage to the room."
Chang Wu was about to respond when he suddenly remembered something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Man: "If there's something wrong, tell me."
Chang Wu slowly said: "That is, how should we arrange the rooms? There are only four rooms in the courtyard. Now we have occupied three of them and only one is left. If we arrange the young master and his two brothers to live with us,
So where can we live for five people in a room that can accommodate us!!”
After hearing this, the man said without thinking: "Then let the young master live in the same room with me!! You and Chang Ning clean up the woodshed and sleep in the woodshed!"
"No!!" Tao Qiqi, Tao Qiniang, and Fang Yu unanimously rejected it loudly.
The voices of the three people startled everyone present.
Chang Wu misunderstood the meaning of the three people and was very moved. He said stupidly: "Haha - it's okay. Chang Ning and I will clean up the woodshed and deal with it for one night."
Tao Qiqi hurriedly explained: "No, that's not what we meant. What I mean is, I, I can't worry about my mother, I'll share a room with them, I, I'll just make the floor."
As soon as Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Ma Daha Zhao Hu continued: "Yes, it's not like they haven't slept together before. Usually the three of them sleep in the same carriage."
Zhao Hu was halfway through his words when Tao Qiqi hit him with a knife. In the end, his fearful voice became smaller and smaller, but he still finished his words completely.
The yard was only so big, so the man and his guards naturally listened to every word.
At this time, if looks could kill, Zhao Hu might have died thousands of times.
After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Chang Wu and Chang Ning were dumbfounded in surprise.
The man naturally mistakenly thought that Tao Qiqi and Fang Yu were a couple, so there was only a moment of disappointment on his face, and then he said: "Okay, let the young master share a room with his mother.
