Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 52

Looking back, Zheng Quchi saw a nine-foot man behind him.

His exaggerated muscles are comparable to a modern bodybuilder. This man is probably able to withstand the cold. In the winter, he only wears a sleeveless gown. The gray trousers are stretched at the thigh, and the calf is tied tightly with cloth strips. ,cloth shoes.

In the country of Ye, generally only hard laborers who do heavy work wear this kind of dress, because a set of clothes is both a necessity and a luxury for poor people. In order to cherish it, it can be worn for a longer period of time. This short jersey cuts down on fraying and pulling.

As soon as this pair of extreme and conspicuous combination appeared on the street, it attracted the attention of many people.

But because the eight-foot man has a fierce face, and his slender eyes are full of indifference and indifference to life, this temperament is not easy to mess with at first sight, so he only dares to sneak a peek from the corner of his eye and steal secretly. whisper.

"Oh, I was just dazed by that, this... big brother, you want to buy this big worm skin, right?"

Mr. Bai Xiong, who was suddenly called "Big Brother" by the black-skinned girl, was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and only asked, "Well, how do you sell it?"

How to sell it?

Zheng Quchi was in a dilemma for a while, if she asked for the highest price directly, would it scare people away? Let the other party make an offer.

"Why don't you just look at it and give it to me."

Although the mountains and forests are full of wild animals, hunters generally dare not mess with such ferocious creatures as tigers.

Tiger skins are generally available at a price in a small border area like Fuxian County. Orion said that if she meets a knowledgeable person, the price will be high, and there will be some fresh pictures that will lower the price. If she is in a hurry to make a sale, she will look at it if there is a seller. It's the right price.

She saw that Mr. Baixiong was accompanied by a bodyguard, and he should be quite rich. If he asked him to offer the price, he should have to pay less because of face.

"This piece of leather is very complete. Except for a small hole left by an arrow in the center of the forehead, the rest of the skin was carefully peeled, and there is no damage." In order for him to quote more accurately, Zheng Quchi gave him a Instructions and reminders.

Hearing what she said, the man was silent for a moment, and repeated: "Killed by one arrow?"

"correct."

"Saw."

He pulled up his collar and yelled, and saw the nine-foot man walking forward behind him, squatting on the booth and rummaging through the tiger skin
At this time, a herbal picking woman with a basket on her back came over, she frowned, trying to fight the injustice.

"Why are bows and arrows so powerful that they can even kill the tiger of the overlord of the Lin Zhongshan with one arrow? You're not trying to bluff people from other places, are you?"

Zheng Quchi was speechless: "...The things are here. If you know the goods, you can check the authenticity for yourself."

But the herbal girl didn't intend to do this. She persuaded Mr. Baixiong: "Young master, don't be fooled. These dealers are the best at deceiving people. She used some similar furs to sew the damaged parts on." , it looks good at first glance, but it’s actually a second-best one, and you’ll find something wrong when you go back and cut it.”

Hearing that she had framed her for nothing, Zheng Quchi became angry: "My son, Huo! (Sichuan dialect)"

The herb-picker replied, "Don't think I don't know. I come to this street every day. I can almost recognize the hunters who sell leather, but I've never seen you. Where did you come from?" (Sichuan dialect)

The others were also pointing at Zheng Quchi, vaguely having the same doubts and caliber as the herbal girl.

She is from Hegou Village, she rarely walks around the county town, and it is the first time to set up a stall, but she did not expect to meet a xenophobic peddler, and seeing that she got a big business selling tiger skins, she didn't want her to come to share the pie.

Seeing more and more people watching the excitement around, Zheng Quchi was disturbed by her, and knew that the business would not be able to continue.

"Okay, if you say it's fake, it's fake, I won't sell it."

The herb-gathering girl looked even more proud: "Look, she is a liar, and now that I have exposed her, she wants to slip away."

At this time, the nine-foot man who squatted on the ground for inspection suddenly said: "This is the skin of a big insect that has just been cut for no more than two hours. The body and limbs are intact, and the skin is not mixed with anything else. It is a A complete top-grade fur."

As soon as these words came out, the bustling street just now stopped abruptly, and they looked ugly as if they had been slapped suddenly.

The herbal girl squeezed out a smile, and asked in disbelief: "But, this, this weak girl, how could she kill the big bug?"

"That's right, I'm afraid I stole this leather from someone else." Someone watching the excitement interjected without thinking it was a big deal.

Zheng Quchi is not stupid, she understands that strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, she thought she would keep a low profile and leave after selling out, and would not cause any trouble, but she underestimated the existence of such things as profit chains, she made money, and others were jealous, she She has no background and is a stranger, so no one will protect her.

Zheng Quchi was too lazy to argue with these troublemakers, so she picked up the cloth satchel and the tiger skin to collect the stall and leave, but was stopped.

Mr. Bai Xiong naively moved in front of her, and said in a clear voice, "Girl, I'll buy this big bug skin."

She was amazed that the average buyer would feel resentment when hearing these rumors. Does he have confidence in the judgment made by his entourage, or does he really like this tiger skin?

Since he is willing to take the risk to bid, why should she shrink back.

"How much did you pay?"

"A medium ingot of silver."

Wait, she did the math, one ingot of silver is about 50 taels, and the silver ingot in one ingot is at least ten taels.

And twelve... how many copper plates are there?

hiss!
One ingot of silver? !
The people around were stunned after hearing the quotation from the stranger.

Although the tiger skin is very expensive, it is not to this extent. In fact, there are people selling tiger skins at other stalls, but most of the transaction prices are around 5 taels on weekdays, but this tiger skin has doubled the price. turn?
"Brother, you really have vision."

Sure enough, Zheng Quchi was right, this Mr. Baixiong was the owner of no shortage of money, and she was very pleasantly surprised.

With these ten taels of silver, she can not only pay the unmarried tax owed to the government in one go, but also go to the store to buy four coats for everyone in the family to spend warm winter.

Just when she thought the deal was a sure thing, an accident happened. The sound of heavy footsteps stomped heavily on the bluestone slabs of the street. At the Beilou Gate Banner, a group of elite soldiers from the battalion rushed forward, followed by two rows. Open, hold a sharp long knife, sharp spear, and strong shield to open the way, and travel a full half a mile as far as you can see.

The soldiers are proud and intimidating.

These civilian peddlers on the street had never seen such a large-scale gathering of battalions. They were all frightened, and hurriedly stood against the wall, for fear of being stabbed by the cold light of sharp weapons.

And it wasn't over yet, just when everyone was wondering who these troops were stationed here to open the way for, a group of cavalry in armor was seen galloping past like a churning cloud carrying the wind.

At first, there were four partial generals, surrounded by one person.

The man was wearing a black crown of Tengshen, a dragon scale armor, a scarlet cloak, and a gluttonous belt around his waist. The strong black and red colors that completely shocked people's sight gathered into a unique and distinctive existence of a person——Yu Wensheng.

Zheng Quchi took a deep breath.

His light brown pupils reflected his cold figure in a mask. This was the third time she saw him, but it was still so thrilling.

Ai?
Wait, why does he seem to be getting closer?
Why does he seem to be... running towards her?

Zheng Quchi is a typical villain with a guilty conscience, and he scared himself enough.

Why is he here?
Could it be that Yu Wensheng found out that she was an assassin sent by the Mo family and planned to execute her on the spot?
But is it necessary to work so hard to capture such a little Karami as her?
Just when she was about to run away, Yu Wensheng and his lieutenants reined in their horses and stopped about ten meters away from her.

However, the chilling aura that the horse had rushed towards before was not suppressed by it, on the contrary, it was so arrogant that it made people surrender to the ground and threw dust on their faces.

The cloak behind Yu Wensheng fluttered arrogantly, and under the terrifying mask, the lips that were smeared with blood opened his voice: "Is it true that the public loses?"

What?
What if the public loses?

This name...isn't it calling her?

Zheng Quchi belatedly looked to the side, could it be that "Mr. White Bear" who was standing very close to her, and the one that Yu Wensheng called out, "Gong lose is right"?

This name is so elegant and handsome, it shouldn't be that nine-foot man.

She realized that she might have made a mistake, that she was not the protagonist at all, not even a supporting role, so she hurriedly lowered her head, and quietly followed other people's way of avoiding trouble, becoming a qualified passerby, no, a passerby .

However, the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

Under the veil of clouds, Gongshu Jiruo slowly lowered his sleeves overlapping his chest, and he waved his hand to get the saw out of the way.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd and under the pressure of thousands of troops, he was still as calm and calm as he was when he was parading around the street just now.

"General Yuwen, I have already come to Ye Kingdom as you wished, can I send my sister back to Beiyuan Kingdom?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. She still owes this general for saving her life. If she is allowed to return to Beiyuan Kingdom, who will repay the favor?" Yu Wencheng asked with a smile.

Gongshu Jiruo sighed: "Gongshuo, I'm sorry for not being used by other countries, but if I marry my younger sister to General Yuwen, this rule can be broken."

Except for Yu Wensheng, everyone's expressions changed when they heard this sentence.

If Gongshu wants to marry Gongshulan to the general? !
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang looked serious. If this incident happened earlier, maybe they would have thought about it, but now it is too late, their general has already married his wife.

Yu Wensheng: "Is this what you mean by being a public loser, or is it your idea that a public loser is like one person?"

Gongshu Jiruo: "Is there a difference?"

His tone is very casual, but the uncompromising in it has already revealed his domineering hidden under the plain words.

His idea that public loss is equal means public loser.

Yu Wencheng's fingers holding the reins tightened, and he couldn't restrain his evil thoughts. He listened to the message of Gongshu Jiruo with joy and enjoyment. Listen, his Gongshu Jiruo is so valuable, and it is totally worth it. Effort and time spent, no?

Zheng Quchi glanced at Yu Wensheng quietly, and couldn't help shivering.

The darkness in this person's pupils rolled wildly and violently, and he didn't know what he was thinking, anyway, he looked even more sick.

She picked up the tiger skin and wanted to escape from this tense and dangerous place, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the nine-foot man with his arms stretched out.

He looked at her with narrowed eyes: "My husband wants this leather, keep it."

His voice was not very loud, but it just caught the attention of the people present.

Vendors, civilians, sergeants... and the person she was least willing to face at this moment.

Zheng Quchi wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it to hide his troubles. At the same time, he also buried half of the nine-foot man.

The head down kind!

She gritted her teeth in a low voice: "I won't sell it anymore, let me go."

But like a stubborn donkey, he said harshly, "No."

Yu Wensheng didn't notice Gongshu at first, that is, the person whose body was half blocked from the back, mainly because Zheng Quchi was really petite, standing behind the huge nine-foot man and "White Bear", few people would notice her exist.

But now she was "dragged" out by the nine-foot man, he glanced over inadvertently, and then saw... the person who was still sleeping on the same bed last night.

"..."

Yu Wensheng's sickly and creepy expression froze in vain, and he narrowed his long eyelashes.

Zheng Quchi?
How could she be here?

At this time, even though Gongshu was reminded by the saw, he also remembered the transaction that was interrupted before, and he politely said to Yu Wensheng: "Please wait a moment, general, let me complete a transaction first, and then have a good talk with the general." talk."

He turned around and walked over, his naive steps were not clumsy, and no matter how much resistance Zheng Quchi had on his face at the moment, he asked suspiciously: "Girl, haven't we settled yet? I'll buy you for a piece of silver." Why did this big worm skin go back on its word again?"

Big bug skin?
Heh, Yu Wencheng finally knew that the reason why she was being secretive and secretive these days was to hide it from him and sneak off to the mountains to hunt big bugs?
Zheng Quchi was in a state of distress at this moment, she almost pushed her head to her chest, but then she thought again, she couldn't act too guilty, too abnormal, so she raised her face again, but tried not to look at this picture The face was exposed in front of Yu Wensheng's eyes.

She changed directions, and said politely to Gongshu: "I'm afraid of getting into some trouble, why don't you hurry up and get the money, I have something urgent, I have to go home."

This Mr. Bai Xiong is definitely not simple, nonsense, he can talk to Yu Wensheng for so long without being cut off by him with a sword, he is definitely a big shot.

At this time, Gongshu accidentally swept a section of white fox fur into her homemade cross-body bag.

"Whether this is a pure white fox, I don't know if it sells..."

"This is not for sale."

Zheng Quchi immediately covered the bag and stuffed the white fox fur back.

"Why?"

This person is squeaking, he won't sell it if he doesn't sell it, why are there so many of them?

However, no matter how fiercely she slandered her, she still had to reply because of the unknown identity of the other party: "My husband-in-law gets up early every day to go to work. His clothes are thin and his neck is long and easy to get cold. I use this to sew him a scarf that fits perfectly." .”

After hearing this, Yu Wensheng looked at her suddenly.

In the next second, he got off his horse, and under everyone's shocked eyes, he said, "I want this big bug skin."
