Xiang Nan was stunned by this sudden request, and then he laughed. His laughter became louder and louder, and he laughed.
Neither Xiang Nan's laughter nor the astonishment of the Xiang family's entourage made the prefect embarrassed. He was confident and shameless and refused to leave without receiving the money.
Xiang Nan had no money, and Huazhou soldiers and horses were not as rich as Guangzhou Prefecture's Zhenwu Army, so everyone basically had to steal food and drink from the rebels.
The cost of his trip was sent by Xiang Yun along with the letter. Uncle Six, who led the army and horsemen, knew that firewood and rice were expensive.
"I've never heard of any entry fee." The Xiang family's entourage said angrily, his voice low but still enough for the prefect sitting outside to hear.
The prefect calmly didn't seem to hear anything and asked Chen Er kindly with a smile, how old he was, whether he had a family, etc.
This entrance fee was indeed not in the project name that I heard before. Xiang Nan smiled and said: "It must have been specially thought of for me."
"Why is the Guangzhou Prefecture so shameless?" The Xiang family attendants became even more angry, "If we don't give him the Young Master, leave now. What can they do?"
There's nothing he can do. The most he can do is turn against the Zhenwu Army. That woman is definitely capable of such a thing.
This kind of thing is not incomprehensible in today's troubled times. The other guards, not to mention asking for money, are all vying for each other's territory. Why should he treat the Zhenwu Army as a good person?
Is it because they protect the common people and the refugees? The purpose of protecting the common people and the refugees is to support the city, and more importantly, to replenish the supply of troops. It is not true that gods are compassionate and selfless.
"There's no need to break your friendship over such a trivial matter," Xiang Nan said.
Is this still a small thing? What is a big thing? I don’t understand.
Of course, it is friendly cooperation to fight against the rebels. As long as this can be achieved, other things can be put aside and ignored. Xiang Nan said: "Let me write them an IOU."
Seeing that he was indeed serious, and he could not treat the young master like a child now, the entourage grabbed Xiang Nan who was about to write an IOU: "Young Master, we have brought the money."
After saying that, he stood a few steps away and untied his winter robe. Xiang Nan only felt that his eyes were blurred and dazzling. This follower was actually wearing a gold lining!
"You?" Xiang Nan was surprised. Looking carefully, it turned out that there were pieces of gold leaves sewn on the clothes with gold threads. Although the clothes were not big, they were densely covered with a large amount of money. "Why did you bring so much money?"
Their fifth house didn't have that much money, so the old man would ask his entourage to bring so much money to his grandson? He was not so favored by the old man. The person closest to him at home was his sixth uncle.
The attendant smiled and said: "The eldest lady gave it to me."
Xiang Nan said oh and put away his surprise.
"The eldest lady asked us to keep it as a spare." The attendant said while undressing, "The eldest lady said that if you encounter big problems, the young master will solve them, but if you encounter something that requires money, it will be a small matter, and you probably won't need it, so you don't need to tell the young master.
I never thought that such an annoying little thing would happen in this chaotic world."
He took off his clothes and handed them to Xiang Nan.
"Master, take it and use it."
Xiang Nan looked at the golden clothes. The fine and dazzling gold leaves showed the wealth of Jiannan Road. Speaking of which, Mrs. Wu was somewhat similar to Li Minglou. She was rich, unruly, and rough...
No, it's different. He shook his head and denied that Li Minglou was from a wealthy family and was condescending to the weak, while Mrs. Wu was supportive of the weak and was rude to wealthy families.
It would be appropriate for Li Minglou, a wealthy family, to use his money here. He reached out and took the golden coat and turned around and went out.
The shamelessness of the magistrate once again shocked the Xiang family's entourage. Previously, he cunningly said that he would take the city fee, but did not say how much. Now he stared at the gold-clad Xiang family of Taiyuan Prefecture as far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, estimated an amount, and kidnapped them.
Almost half as much gold leaf.
"This is the voucher for the entrance fee." The prefect put down a handwritten document, "With this, our Zhenwu Army in Guangzhou Prefecture can travel without any hindrance."
Then he left with the golden leaves in his arms.
The Xiang family's entourage didn't even want to give it away. The Xiang family had never suffered such humiliation from the government in several generations.
Xiang Nan was not angry, but smiled and said: "You see, this voucher specifically states the entrance fee, leaving the opportunity to be charged other fees when entering the Guangzhou Prefecture."
It's so abominable!
“It’s true that a city cannot be judged by its appearance.”
"Young Master also praised the Guangzhou Prefecture for its jurisdiction over Qingming. This government is so shameless."
"Let's go quickly! Don't come to them again."
The followers of the Xiang family shouted.
Chen Er also calmly said: "I rushed to deliver it to you. It's cheap to kill us. It's very polite to not kill us all and rob our soldiers and horses."
Xiang Nan laughed again and hit Chen Er on the head with the document: "That's right."
Chen Er pouted: "Do you still want to look around the thatched cottage?"
"There's no need to look around the thatched cottage." Xiang Nan smiled, took the cloak and wrapped it around him, "Let's go."
He has conveyed his good intentions. This Mrs. Wu is not a fool. It is undeniable that this method allows her to find a way out in troubled times, but the rapid attack is only suitable for a moment, and she will be trapped in the long run. I hope she can figure it out in time.
Stop it.
Xiang Nan left Guangzhou Prefecture neatly.
Standing on the city gate and watching the white-robed figure retreating away, Fang Er squinted his eyes to estimate the distance and put down the crossbow in his hand.
"We can't use soldiers and horses to block the attack, but we can also use assassins to attack by surprise." He said, "The road from Guangzhou Prefecture to Taiyuan Prefecture is long, and we have to cross the rebel territory."
Li Minglou stood on the city wall wrapped in a cloak, and the wind lifted his hat from time to time to reveal his face.
"It's not that easy for an assassin to kill someone," she said, "especially for a general who comes out of thousands of troops, unless someone he trusts is not careful."
For example, how could her father have thought that there were assassins hiding among the dead in the cleaned battlefield?
Another example is Xiang Yun.
Li Minglou looked into the distance. In his sight was no longer the white figure, but the figure of another person. He didn't know what happened to Xiang Qiubeard.
Xiang Qiubeard never had any contact with her again, and seemed to have disappeared from the world. However, he learned from Jiannan Road that Xiang Yun had been assassinated twice.
Xiang Yun was not killed twice. How is Xiang Qiubeard? Is he injured? Is there a place to hide? Does he have warm clothes to wear? Does he have food to eat?
She regretted it.
Li Minglou turned around and walked down the city gate. He stood under the city gate carrying a pair of axes covered with gold and silver and opened an umbrella to protect Li Minglou as he mounted his horse. Fang Er stood on the city gate and watched. Although Xiang Nan left,
This incident is a warning.
Therefore, the guards selected from the Zhenwu Army in Dou County found some orphans to serve as servants at his home. They left Li Minglou and would not appear openly.
Li Minglou was riding through the street when he was stopped by someone: "Young madam, I have a lot of skills, and I am willing to dedicate my body and mind to you."
Li Minglou no longer covered his appearance, and the people were astonished and did not dare or want to come forward to disturb him, but some people still couldn't help recommending themselves.
Li Minglou reined in his horse and looked at the tall, thin man standing in front of him. He was a ranger. He came from nowhere, encountered some danger, and had injuries on his face.
"Thank you for your body and mind, but I can't take them back." She shook her head and said, "Because the rangers who took me under my wing were all working hard outside, and I can't do anything for them. I won't take any more guards until they come back.
Already."
Some people on the street shouted to Qiu Beard. This man was obviously from Dou County. People in Guangzhou Prefecture didn't know. People in Dou County still remember that there were many knight-errants gathered around Mrs. Wu, and one of them was the most popular.
Beautiful beard...
But after the war broke out, these rangers disappeared. I thought they had run away, but they turned out to be traveling for the young lady?
"I met a ranger on the way to Guangzhou Prefecture, and he directed us to Dou County on Huainan Road. I thought he was a liar."
"Yes, I've met him too. He also said that there is a Madam Wu in Dou County who can protect us."
Talking about the time when I heard that the street became lively, and then an old man called out that I have a ranger to entrust to the young lady. He separated from the crowd and approached tremblingly, holding up a jade pendant in his hand.
"This was left by my benefactor Qi Xie Yang. He said it was a beautiful jade gifted to him by you, young madam. He was worthy of the beautiful jade. He died in peace and asked me to return it to young madam."
She had given away a lot of beautiful jade that she could no longer remember. Li Ming got off his horse and took it with both hands. The old man told the story about Qi Xieyang. The people who listened were excited and sad and shed tears. The knight who blocked the road earlier had his chest heaving and clenched his hands.
knife.
"We will bury our benefactor on the spot." The old man cried, "Today I will send the beautiful jade back, so I can forget about sending my benefactor home."
Li Minglou turned around and called Baobao.
Bao Jinyin, who was holding an umbrella, was used to this address and responded.
"Go and tell Yuan Ji to build a hero temple." Li Minglou said, looking at the beautiful jade in his hand, "I want to pray for them, so that they can be safe outside. If something bad happens, they can return to their souls even though they are thousands of miles away."
The answer is gold and silver.
Li Minglou then handed the beautiful jade to the old man: "When the temple is completed, please ask my father-in-law to send him to the temple for peace of mind."
The old man choked and took it with his hands and put them on his chest.
The excitement caused more people to come, but the ranger standing in the middle of the road turned around and walked out of the excitement. He tied the knife behind his back, not feeling sad about being rejected as a guard, and his eyes were bright.
There will definitely be a place for him in the Heroes Temple in the future.
