Farmer’s Blessed Girl

There really was a tea stall on the road, so they ate a hot meal at the tea stall at noon. After they finished eating, they decided to take a break and set off. When they saw two horses running on the way, the people on the horses were carrying big horses. I got off the horse with my luggage, asked the store for two pancakes and a bowl of soup, and then sat on a chair outside to eat.

The heavy rain couldn't help squinting to look at them, and Nie Canjun and Director Li also looked at them.

Bai Shan and Man Bao noticed the difference in the atmosphere, and turned their heads to look at them. Bai Shan frowned, "I seem to have seen them before."

Man Bao looked up and down, and felt a little familiar. He was about to ask Keke when the two got up and walked towards Steward Li with the cooking cake. She looked over and didn't ask Keke.

The rich and his companions were behind him, and he didn't want to look for Li, but he couldn't help it. Their gazes were too compelling, and he always felt that if they were slower, they would doubt his identity.

The two of them went up to Director Li and asked to go with him, saying that they would also go to the Western Regions, but they were only two of them because of the long distance, so...

Director Li looked them up and down and remembered, "Are you two of those who came to see me the day before yesterday?"

The rich and humble replied "yes" and begged Steward Li, "The family urgently needs money, so I can't take the risk to go to the Western Regions at this time, please talk to the adults, let us follow the team, you can rest assured. , we will follow from a distance, and we will never disturb the adults."

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Some scattered merchants will rely on large caravans for safety, and some merchants will give a gift to the large caravan, and then follow from a distance without asking them. Asylum, as long as you can follow.

But these two excuses...

Steward Li glanced at their horses, nodded, then got up and said, "I'll go ask our master."

He leaned over to Bai Shan and Man Bao and whispered, "Not long after we arrived in Shazhou the day before yesterday, a group of people came over when we went out to replenish rice and noodles, and said they wanted to follow our motorcade to the Western Regions. "

He said: "I felt that there were a lot of people in our team, and it would be cumbersome to bring people, so I refused. At that time, these two people were among them, but I didn't expect them to find them today, and they said they were sleepy at home. , urgently need money..."

He glanced at their horses and said in a low voice, "You can see that this is an excuse. If the family urgently needs money, they should sell the horses. What's the use of rushing to the Western Regions to make money?"

Steward Li meant to reject them.

Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Where did you meet them, why do I think they look so familiar?"

Nie Canjun, who was on the side, immediately said, "Young Master Bai, I also think they are familiar, but they shouldn't have seen each other in the past two days."

Man Bao asked Keke: "I also think they are familiar, Keke, where have I seen them?"

Keke screened it out and said, "In the desert inn."

At the same time, Bai Shan also lowered his voice and said, "I seem to have seen it in the desert inn, yes, in the desert inn, the group of people who had a conflict with us in the bathhouse, they were not with you outside the inn that evening. Than wrestling? I've seen him in the crowd."

Although he didn't seem to make a move, people were indeed there.

Nie Canjun froze and said incredulously, "No, they are here for revenge? Are they so careful?"

The heavy rain who was sitting at the next table couldn't bear it any longer. He leaned over and asked, "What are you talking about, can you speak a little louder, I can't hear you."

Everyone glanced at him and said nothing.

Bai Shan paused and asked, "Do you think those two are familiar?"

Heavy rain curled his lips and said, "I haven't seen them before, but I am familiar with the smell of them."

He said: "The smell on their body now is the same as the smell on our body before."

No explanation, but everyone understood, this is a horse thief!

Man Bao was refreshed and couldn't believe it, "Do we look so good at robbery?"

After thinking for a while, Da Yu said, "It's weird. Usually, even if you want to robbery, you won't come to the door so early, and you take such a big risk to follow up in person. Are their people not here?"

The two rich people were a little anxious. They were far away from Zhou Man and the others. They could only see them whispering together, but couldn't hear the specific content.

No way, there are many people in their convoy, and these people are surrounded by the middle from the moment they get off the horse, and they can't get close at all.

Bai Shan glanced at them, and said to Steward Li: "Promise them, ask them for some money, and directly pierce their lies, saying that they don't believe that their family urgently needs money, but want to follow us to the Western Regions to make money. In this case, Just show some sincerity."

Li Guanshi was startled and whispered, "Master, isn't it a good idea to let them follow?"

Bai Shan said: "It's worse not to let them follow. It's better to keep people under your nose."

After speaking, he looked at Nie Canjun and said in a low voice, "I also asked Nie Canjun to ask the scouts to look back and forth to see if anyone else is following us."

Nie Canjun responded.

Li Guanshi went and returned with ten taels of silver in a short time, and handed it over to Empress Bai Shan and said, "Young master, I asked each of them for five taels of silver."

Bai Shan took the silver, and seeing Bai Erlang watching intently, he gave him one and the other to Man Bao.

He nodded and said, "Give them a position close to our carriage."

That is the middle position, so the two less people behind will not attract attention at all.

After the convoy restarted, two scouts went out to the front to investigate, and two quietly fell behind. They quietly pulled the horses into the forest, and only mounted their horses and left after the convoy could no longer see them. , go back to Yumenguan to investigate.

Although the Yumen Pass is not stable, there are still stations and platforms.

It's just that the inn is very small, and it can't accommodate more than one hundred of them. Fortunately, it is summer, and the night is not very cold, but there are many insects.

Man Bao and the others lived in the inn, while others were stationed around the inn.

The two ate and drank separately from them. Man Bao stood upstairs and glanced at them, then turned to go to the kitchen, glanced at the lamb soup they ordered, and added a little something to it.

The cook on the side:  …

Man Bao snorted at him and said, "Don't talk outside."

The cook didn't say anything, but told Yicheng.

Thinking of their exit documents and official seals, the postmaster gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about it, just don't go out in the kitchen."

Then let another guy bring the soup out.

The most common soup here is sheep soup. Soldiers and guards also have two large buckets of sheep soup.

Steward Li, who watched Miss Man prescribe the medicine with his own eyes, went to make a bowl of soup, then walked over to the two of them and said with a laugh, "Forgive me, brothers, we only take you with us, you have to bring your own food and lodging."
