Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Bai Shan tilted his head: "Ask directly?"

Mr. Zhuang and Nie Canjun nodded together, and Nie Canjun said, "He's a very forthright person." In fact, it was direct, and he said what he wanted directly.

Man Bao asked, "How much does he want?"

Nie Canjun said: "If you want a guide, twenty taels, one person 10 taels, ten people, ten horses and ten knives, one hundred taels, and twenty people one hundred and fifty taels."

Man Bao was taken aback when he heard it, "So expensive? There are already quite a few of us."

Nie Canjun nodded, "I also think it's expensive. We have a lot of people. It's almost enough to ask two guides from him."

They are not a caravan, not to mention the soldiers accompanying them, even the guards of the Bai family and Yin family have seen blood. There are more than 100 people, so there is really no need to invite people.

However, Mr. Zhuang wanted to be more secure. He was very concerned about what he said about the unstable people in various places.

He said: "This is different from the Central Plains."

He paused and said: "North of Xiazhou, information is lagging and distorted, and people's hearts are unstable. It only takes ten years for the imperial court to conquer the long, and the short is only five or six years. In such a short period of time, the younger generation has I haven't grown up yet, so in most people's minds, they probably don't care if they are from the Great Jin Dynasty. They also don't recognize His Majesty."

Everyone called the emperor the Khan of Heaven.

Now there are rumors that the emperor is dead and the prince is fighting for the throne with several brothers. In some people's mouths, the Central Plains may have fallen into a melee now.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee that no one with ulterior motives has other intentions.

"No matter what their intentions are, money is the top priority. We have so much luggage, even if it's not a caravan, we won't let them go," said Mr. Zhuang, "The geese are plucking their hair, since the mayor If you're willing to show up, why don't we accept it?"

He said, "Although it's really expensive?"

Nie Canjun turned his head to look at Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, the Ministry of Accounts will not give this money, will the Taiyuan Hospital report it to you?"

Man Bao: "...Our hospital is too poor."

Mr. Zhuang said with a blank face: "It's a coincidence, Honglu Temple is also poor, no, it is even poorer."

Nie Canjun said, "It's even more impossible for me. After I go back, if your lord knows that I have to pay a high price to protect your lord, and you are still a horse thief, it would be a lesser crime if you don't ask me, then we can only do it ourselves. "

After saying that, he looked at Man Bao with bright eyes.

Man Bao turned to look at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan turned to look at Bai Erlang who were sitting beside him.

Bai Erlang, Liu Huan and Yin Or:  …

Even Yin He couldn't help but turn his head to stare at Bai Erlang, can't I tell? You have to blend in.

How could Bai Erlang expect to get paid just by listening to it?

Man Bao said to Mr. Nie Canjunzhuang, "Don't worry about the money, we will discuss it ourselves."

So he got up and pulled Bai Erlang and the others upstairs to discuss.

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a while, nodded with a smile, and after talking to Nie Canjun, went back to the house to rest.

Nie Canjun: ...really please!

At present, Bai Erlang is the poorest, so he is very unwilling, "How many people are you invited? Ten?"

Man Bao said: "Twenty is the best deal."

Bai Shan is the most sensible, "In addition to the money, there is also their food and grass. This cost is quite a lot. I think ten is almost the same."

He said: "There are many of us, and the soldiers and guards under our command have seen blood. It is not a problem to march and fight. Face to face, I don't think other horse thieves can take advantage of them."

Yin or wondered: "Then why do we still invite them?"

Bai Shandao: "In order to avoid risks."

He said: "They are the local snakes here. Not only do they know the forces in this desert, they should also have some face. They should be able to take us to avoid risks. The former two guides should be almost the same, but if you accidentally bump into them Now, the importance of two people is obviously not enough, but what if ten people come forward to negotiate with each other?"

Man Bao nodded, "Although we are not afraid and are confident that we can escape from the horse thief, there will be casualties at that time. No matter what happens, human life is not important. It is more important for everyone to arrive safely than some loss of money."

Bai Shan lowered his voice and said, "Everyone follows us out. You can't just bring back their ashes when you go back, right? It's hard to explain to their families when you go back."

Man Bao is the chief officer, and this matter is ultimately up to her decision. Now that she has decided, Nie Canjun and others will not speak out even if they have opinions, so the matter is settled.

One hundred taels of silver were shared among the five of them, and one person was twenty taels, which seemed to be not too expensive.

Bai Erlang and Bai Shan borrowed money and temporarily paid the bill. At this moment, he was very eager to get to the Western Regions as soon as possible, and then he would have money by selling the silk and satin in his hand.

When they made a decision here, they communicated with the mayor. The mayor couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He turned his head and said to the housekeeper, "Go, tell the brothers, I have found a job for them and let them pick out ten Come on, get ready to leave in half a month."

The butler responded and said with a smile: "Master is a good guess, but I didn't expect that they really agreed. I see that there are many of them, and they have blood and evil spirits on their bodies. They are not like ordinary guards. I thought they would be reluctant to spend money."

The mayor said: "I didn't expect that they would invite ten people. I thought it would be great to have two people as guides."

After all, it is easy to get lost in the desert, and it will go all the way to Yumen Pass. It is basically the desert and the next door, so it is easy to get lost.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that these officials are very soft-hearted and know how to take good care of the soldiers."

He thought about it for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Go to the warehouse and look it up, take out all the medicinal materials and wound medicines that we don't need for a long time, and take them to the door of the inn tomorrow. Now that you know that you feel sorry for the soldiers, why not? Can you prepare some wound medicine and medicinal materials?"

The butler responded, turned around and went to execute.

Man Bao rolled over while holding the quilt. It was very cold in the morning here. She pulled the quilt up to cover her head, but the noise outside kept coming from the window.

She could only roll over and look out the window.

Her eyes were fine, so she saw Zhou Liru blushing and arguing with someone.

Man Bao yawned, closed the window, lay back on the bed and decided to sleep again. She wasn't worried about Zhou Liru, the yard that passed by were all their people, and the guards would not let Zhou Liru be bullied at the door of the house.

And Zhou Liru wasn't a bully, so she didn't take it to heart. As a result, the quarrel didn't stop, but it got louder and louder.

Man Bao couldn't help sitting up, so he had to put on his clothes, tidied up his clothes a little, and went out.

Bai Shan, who also slept late, opened the door from the side, nodded when she saw her coming out, looked outside and said, "Go down and have a look?"

Man Bao nodded.

See you tomorrow
