I was born to be a supporting role

Chapter 6

Look at the two big characters Yangzhou on the city wall not far away.

Ju Ming only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

However, since Yangzhou has been occupied by the Qing soldiers, the tragedy in Yangzhou on the [-]th should have happened long ago.

Zhu Ming looked down at his current attire, and his heart suddenly dawned on him.

No wonder Bai Mudan and the two people before were so frightened when they saw him.

Under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no braids were left, and they dared to wander around outside.

That is definitely a ruthless person.

No wonder those two people kneeled down when they saw him.

If you were yourself, you would have to kneel too.

This is a person with his head pinned to his waistband, how can ordinary people provoke him.

In this era, various anti-Qing forces came and went, and it was the most active time.

But it was also the time when the Manchu Qing court and the anti-Qing forces were fighting most fiercely.

Zhu Ming is just an ordinary person, and now he feels a little scared because of hindsight.

Zhu Ming suddenly felt that he had been dancing on the tip of the knife before, and now his legs were a little weak.

Looking at Yangzhou City not far away, Zhu Ming was afraid that a group of Qing soldiers would rush out suddenly and tear himself to pieces.

I don't know if I die in such a place, will I go back to the original world directly, or will I really die.

Zhu Ming really wanted to turn his head and leave, but he thought that if he dared to ignore the task, he would really die at that time.

Zhu Ming doesn't think that the system's so-called obliteration is just casual talk.

At that time, I can't find a place to cry.

"Miss Peony is right, we shouldn't fight Qinggou directly now."

Bai Mudan glanced at Zhu Ming suspiciously. She didn't know why Zhu Ming was so bold and fearless one second that he wanted to force his way into Yangzhou City, but he was directly discouraged the next second.

Or was it just a temptation by Ju Ming?

Bai Mudan didn't dare to make a conclusion, she just guessed randomly in her heart.

Seeing that Zhu Ming agreed to stay away temporarily, Bai Mudan also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Bai Mudan didn't want to seek death either.

"Young master, wait a moment."

Bai Mudan walked directly towards the city gate and waved towards the corner of the city wall.

I saw a young man rushing over quickly.

"What's your order, Miss Peony?"

This man is an idle man in Yangzhou City, named Zhao Si.

Usually, he runs errands for some people, and has dealt with Bai Mudan several times, so he is quite familiar with him.

"Go and call two sedan chairs over."

Call two sedan chairs?
Zhao Si glanced into the distance, only saw the shadow of Zhu Ming, and suddenly understood.

"Okay, Miss Peony, wait a moment."

Zhao Si quickly ran to the city wall again, and after a while, he rushed back with two sedan chairs.

"Zhao Si, take them to a cup of tea."

Bai Mudan directly took out some scattered silver and threw it to Zhao Si.

Zhao Si immediately beamed with joy.

"Thank you, Miss Peony, for the reward."

How much money can be spent on drinking tea, the money is still in Zhao Si's pocket.

Of course, Zhao Si couldn't just leave it alone. When Bai Mudan gave the money, the bearers could see clearly.

"Brothers, let's drink tea, Miss Peony will appreciate it."

Zhao Si led several bearers and walked down the city wall.

Not far outside the city gate is a tea shop. Although it is just dawn, the tea shop is already open.

Yangzhou City is also a big city. Every day when the gates of the city are opened, people come and go, people come and go, and there is no time for doing business.

Naturally, it opens when there are customers.

"I said Brother Zhao, what kind of monster is Miss Peony doing?"

Several bearers were puzzled.

There is no one who sends people away after calling the sedan chair, it is obviously tricky.

The fire of gossip was ignited by several people.

"Is this your first time doing things together? Don't you know the rules?"

Zhao Si directly scolded with a sullen face.

What do you do to help out? It is to help people do things well, especially things that are inconvenient for others to do.

If you don't even have any eyesight, what's the point of helping you?

You don’t care what other people have to say about things that are shameful. If everything is fair and aboveboard, then what does it matter to people like you?

Several bearers smiled awkwardly.

Although they all understand the truth, the gossip spirit of human beings has been passed down from generation to generation and will last forever.

What's more, Bai Mudan is not an ordinary person. They are more interested in Bai Mudan's gossip.

But Zhao Si reprimanded them, a few people didn't want to make fun of themselves, and sat around a table.

"Serve some good tea, don't be fooled by those broken tea foams. Serve some refreshments, and fill pots of wine for each of these people."

Zhao Sihe might also be familiar with this teahouse, so he ordered casually.

"Hey, fourth brother Zhao is getting rich, just keep your heart in your stomach, I won't cheat anyone if I cheat you."

The teahouse clerk replied with a smile, and then turned to prepare.

Bai Mudan waited until Zhao Si and the others walked away before turning around to greet Zhu Ming.

"You sit in this sedan chair, wait a while and don't make any noise."

Bai Mudan opened the curtain of the sedan behind and let Ju Ming get in.

Bai Mudan checked around the sedan chair again, then waved her hand in Zhao Si's direction, while she got into the first sedan chair directly.

Zhao Si had been staring at this side for a long time, and when he saw Bai Mudan greet him, he immediately stood up.

"Brothers, bring your things and work."

Several bearers stood up quickly, stuffed the snacks into their arms, and hung the wine bottles on their waists.

Looking at the tea that they hadn't had a few sips of yet, several people's faces were full of distress.

Such a good tea may not be able to drink once in a year or so.

As soon as someone gritted his teeth, he directly picked up the tea bowl and poured it down without caring about the heat.

Naturally, she was scalded and grinned.

Looking at it, Zhao Si only felt a toothache.

Zhao Si also wanted to follow suit, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Several people trotted back to the sedan chair.

Bai Mudan was seen sitting in the sedan, and there were obviously people in the sedan behind.

Zhao Si stopped the inquiring thoughts of several sedan bearers with his eyes and ordered the sedan to be lifted up.

After walking a few steps forward, the sedan curtain suddenly lifted, and Bai Mudan's face was revealed.

Zhao Si hurried over.

Bai Mudan didn't speak, but threw another small piece of silver to Zhao Si.

Zhao Si was startled, and hurriedly moved closer, saying: "Miss Peony doesn't need to give any more, I don't need so much."

But Bai Mudan didn't pay attention, and directly lowered the car curtain.

This made Zhao Si suddenly feel terrified.

Bai Mudan is naturally not Yang Hu who doesn't understand anything.

Will spend so much money, naturally not for nothing.

Zhao Si felt uneasy in his heart.

But there was no chance for Zhao Si to hesitate.

The place where Bai Mudan was before was not far from the city gate.

This is a few steps to the gate of the city.

A few soldiers were sitting in the city gate, when they saw a sedan chair approaching, they stood up quickly.

"Hey, it's Zhao Si."

Zhao Si basically lived near the city gate, and was quite familiar with these soldiers.

A few soldiers were about to stop and want to check.

Zhao Si hurried forward a few steps.

"Brothers, it's convenient."

As he spoke, Zhao Si flipped his hand and took out a bag of copper coins from his cuff.

Listening to the sound of clattering copper coins.

It is not surprising that the eyes of the few soldiers are bright, and the gate guards rely on this to make money.

But Zhao Si paid a little too much.

Several soldiers looked at Zhao Si suspiciously.

If something goes wrong, it must be a demon. It is true that some people want to make money, but some money cannot be collected, and if they are collected, they will lose their heads.
