Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 430: Selling for a Good Price
"He was treated in time and is recovering well now, but..." He looked at Jiang Xue, "He is not the same as before. I heard that he has taken in many prostitutes from brothels. He is currently the prince of Beiling with the most concubines."
Jiang Xue remained silent, just lowered her head and stared at the ground silently.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yunsheng knew that she must be feeling bad. He turned his head and looked at the sky: "Starting tomorrow, concentrate on practicing. After three months, you can go wherever you want."
At least during the days of practice, she can think carefully about her future direction.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed like a flying arrow.
In the cold winter, with snowflakes flying, in a ravine near the border of Beixi, there stood an inn all alone.
The eaves of the inn were covered with snow, and from time to time pieces of snow would slide down from the roof and make a small hole in the snow.
"Hey, my two guests, do you want to take a taxi or stay in a hotel?"
In the dim little inn, the candlelight swayed in the wind and could go out at any time.
Because there is only one such inn within a hundred miles, although the environment is not very good, many people still come here to rest.
Most of these people were rough country woodcutters, and when they saw the two gorgeously dressed people at the door, they stared at them intently.
Judging from their body shapes, it is easy to tell the two people, a man and a woman. The woman is wearing a conical hat with a veil around it that covers her face. She looks quite mysterious, making people curious and want to peek at her face under the veil.
The man, dressed in white, looked gentle, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament.
Several women present were attracted to him when they saw him, and couldn't stop staring at this handsome man.
"Let's take a break here, have a pot of warm wine and two dishes."
Si Ruochen took out two taels of silver and handed it to the waiter.
Oh, here comes a generous guest.
The things he ordered only cost ten cents of silver, but he didn't expect the young man in white to be so generous and gave him two taels of silver at once.
The waiter quickly took the silver, cheerfully asked the two to sit down, and hurried to urge the kitchen to prepare the meal.
The people at other tables turned their heads and stared at Jiang Xue and the other person as if they were prey.
"Brother, how far are we?"
The warm wine was soon served. Jiang Xue drank a glass to warm herself up, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and asked softly.
The snow had been falling for several days, and their trip had been delayed a lot.
I heard that the battle between Beixi and Beiling has become increasingly fierce in the past few months, and the army rations of the Zhenbei Marquis are almost exhausted, but there has been no news from the Beiling court, which makes Jiang Xue even more worried.
"It's probably still a few days away." Seeing that she had just finished a glass of wine and was about to pour another, Si Ruochen quickly covered the mouth of her cup: "You drank too quickly. Master told me to take good care of you and not let you do anything reckless."
Jiang Xue put down her wine glass and stopped drinking. She took out a sheepskin map and began to study it quietly.
The map records the terrain of the north-west border. From here to the battle site of Beihuai, one has to go around two hills to get there. It would be great if we could find a shortcut.
"Hey, sir, are you going to the border battlefield?" The waiter came over with some side dishes and saw the topographic map in Jiang Xue's hand and casually said something.
"How do you know where we are going?" Si Ruochen looked at him with a bit more inquiry in his eyes.
"Hey, sir, look at our wild mountains and wilderness. Most of the people here are villagers who come here to hunt. There are very few nobles like you.
Several people as distinguished as you two have stopped here before, and their destination is the border battlefield. Just now, I saw the topographic map in the girl's hand and it looked familiar, so I guessed that you two were also going to the battlefield. "
The waiter was arranging the dishes while answering Si Ruochen's questions.
"Oh? Then may I ask, little brother, what were the identities of those who went to the battlefield before?"
Si Ruo was thinking hard. The battle between Beixi and Beiling was getting more and more intense. The food and grass of Marquis Zhenbei were almost used up. Could it be that the people of Beiling were delivering food and grass to Marquis Zhenbei?
No, Beiling just sent the Yulin Army to Qian Kingdom three months ago. They suffered heavy losses after fighting with the two old generals Meng and Wu. How could they have the spare energy to send more people to deliver food and fodder?
"I don't know about that. Sir, you know that those nobles are not people like us who dare to ask. But from the few words I heard, they mentioned the word 'Your Highness', so they must be members of the royal family."
After the dishes were served, the people at the next table called out to the waiter, who immediately came over with a smile.
"If it is true as the waiter said, that the royal family members went to the battlefield, it must have been an emergency."
But no one knew which side of the royal family he belonged to, which made Jiang Xue's heart suddenly tighten.
She just hoped that it wasn't from Beiling.
"Hey, little brother, I heard that you are going to the battlefield? Can you take us brothers with you?"
As she was sitting there, a group of burly men from the next table came over with ill intentions, glancing at Jiang Xue in an inappropriate manner.
With this figure and temperament, even without looking at her face you can tell that she will be able to fetch a good price.
He hasn't delivered any goods to the brothel owner for a long time, so this time he will definitely make a fortune.
The leader was a disabled person. He chose the seat closest to Jiang Xue and sat down. The rest of the brothers stood behind the two of them, surrounding them.
Just now I saw this pretty boy offering two taels of silver, he is obviously a fat sheep. Tie them up, send the man to a brothel, and the woman to a brothel owner, then we won't have to worry about money for the New Year.
Moreover, the woman was quite pretty, and they could enjoy her before sending her to the brothel owner.
Thinking of this, the younger brothers behind him let out obscene laughter, which made people feel creepy.
"Excuse me, could you please leave? Your ugly appearance makes me feel uncomfortable."
Facing these bandits and hooligans, Si Ruo remained calm, but a coldness gradually emerged in his eyes.
He is an absolute face-obsessed person. He is never polite to things that are not good-looking, so naturally, his words are a bit harsh.
This guy's words made the disabled man's face instantly gloomy. Oh my God, this pretty boy actually dared to make fun of them.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
With a loud bang, the one-eyed man stood up suddenly in anger and overturned the table in front of him with a wave of his hand.
The food and wine were spilled everywhere, and the oil even splashed onto my face.
"Well, you pretty boy, come on, guys, break this pretty boy's bones and destroy his face. You dare to make fun of my face? I'll disfigure you first. As for that woman, knock her out and take her away directly."
The disabled man roared, and the minions behind him rushed up like a swarm of locusts.
