Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"He. They." The jaws of the three brothers trembled a little. The caravan steward looked up and down at Defang and the three of them, and then looked behind them. Seeing that there was no one else, he was a little relieved, so he asked, "Three , you are not officials, are you?"

Baili snorted, "Official messenger? If the official sentry had arrested you long ago, we still have to wait so long. We are here with them. Hurry up and take out all your belongings, or you will look good."

"Since it's not an official post, it's easy to say anything." The steward smiled, "We took the goods and walked several roads to the border, but it was just to make a living and earn some money to support the family. Three, since you know about them, If you follow here, you must have some skills, but in the final analysis, it is for money. However, good things need someone to know the goods, and only those who can be trusted will buy and sell them. A trip to the border town is not easy. To make a friend, why not take a step and talk."

Hearing this, Defang laughed a little, "We have become comrades without even knowing who we are. Seeing that you don't change your face and your heart beat, you are really brave enough."

"My lord, you also look calm. You must have gone through a lot of wind and waves. In fact, this is how I do business. The risk is great and the reward is high. I brought this caravan out alone. Anyone and everything I’ve seen it before, if you guys don’t come here to make trouble, then you can talk about anything.”

The brothers surnamed Xia looked at the steward with wide eyes, and the steward also looked at them, and said softly, "What are you looking at? I don't even know that I'm being followed. Now I have to share another share. How stupid!"

Defang looked at the steward and said, "What you want is money, but I don't. I'm afraid you won't give me what I want."

"Oh?" The steward looked at Defang again, thinking: You are quite arrogant, you will be slaughtered when you are brought to the courtyard, and you don't even want to get a penny, so he asked, "This master , what do you want? As long as Shen has it, we can still talk about it."

"I want my life." De Fang pointed at the crowd, "All of you lives, Manager Shen, you give it yourself, or I will come in person."

The steward was startled and thought: What's going on?Can we still meet thugs who are clearly robbing in this capital?This guy is much more courageous than me. What are the backgrounds of these people?Seeing that he doesn't panic at all, there may be a lot of people ambushing around, I'd better be careful, see if he is a real gangster or cheating me, first stabilize him, see how many people he brought, The steward forced a smile, "My lord, may I ask which way you are? Shen has a small caravan, and the money is not much, and the goods are still waiting to be sold in the border town, or... Please condescend to join the brothers Take a trip to the border town, the money is half and half, just... I'm afraid you don't like it."

Defang laughed twice, "I really don't like it. I said, you want money, but I want my life."

"My lord, what are you trying to do?" The steward smiled, "Well, how many brothers do you have, why don't you come out, I'll keep half of the goods, and give you the 100 taels of cash I brought. It's just a small caravan, you hold your hands high, when I come to the capital again, I will definitely come to the mansion with rich gifts to greet you."

Baili snorted, "It's still in the mansion, and you are worthy, but even officials may not be able to enter the gate of Nanqing Palace."

"Nanqing Palace?" The steward was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly, "What did you say? Palace?"

"Nanqing Palace! Nanqing Palace!" Baili said loudly twice, word for word, "Listen clearly!"

Everyone was a little dazed when they heard this, and Baili shouted, "Hey! You three surnamed Xia, your knees are quite stiff! You didn't even kneel when you saw the prince!"
