Five hundred taels? He himself didn't dare to call out the price.
But thinking about his purpose, Zhu Yuewu could only say in a low voice, "Five hundred taels is indeed too much. You think it's better like this. How about I give you a hundred taels of silver?"
However, at this time, the guard was obviously sitting on the ground bidding.
"It's only five hundred taels. It's a fixed price without any counter-offer. If you want to counter-offer, we can go directly to the official." The guard said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuewu almost died of anger, but thinking about his own purpose, he finally resisted the urge to be angry.
"Okay, five hundred taels is five hundred taels!"
I heard that Zhu Yuewu actually agreed to the five hundred taels request. The guard finally regained his proud look.
"Okay, since you are willing to give five hundred taels, then I will reluctantly cooperate with you now."
After hearing what the guard said, everyone thought the guard was really ridiculous.
But the people on Zhu Yuewu's side couldn't laugh. After all, they had always been used to showing off their power, but now their master Zhu Yuewu was groveling to the boatkeeper of a small ferry.
Isn’t it Kunlun slave? It is estimated that as long as their master reveals his identity and they really dare to continue to make mistakes, even if they suffer the disadvantage of being dumb now, these people will be punished more severely. But now when their master faces these people, But he showed unprecedented gentleness and groveling.
Zhu Yuewu didn't know what everyone thought of him, and he probably didn't care about it at the moment.
He only stated his request directly, "What I want you to do is actually very simple. Have you seen the ship in front of you?"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the guard looked towards the river again.
However, when he saw the small boat with only a trace on the river, he only whispered, "What's going on with that boat?"
Unexpectedly, the guard turned out to be confused. Zhu Yuewu almost had the urge to roll his eyes, but in the end he forced himself to endure it.
"That boat is your own boat. The two people I was arresting just now stole your boat and left! Didn't you see that there was an extra rope on the wooden pile?"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the guard seemed to feel that what the other party said actually made some sense, so the guard didn't say anything more at the moment.
He simply asked, "So how do you want me to help you?"
Zhu Yuewu said expressionlessly, "Simple, our people can't row, but your people can. I want you to go up and row to catch up with the ship. We will work together and wait until you catch up. The ship belongs to you, and the people belong to us." ?」
However, upon hearing Zhu Yuewu's proposal to transfer benefits, the guard did not accept the offer.
"This is not cooperation, and we do not accept such cooperation. If you insist on saying that it is cooperation, we cannot agree to it, and we cannot guarantee that we will catch up with them. After all, they have run so far."
Zhu Yuewu was speechless when he heard this. Why were these people so insecure that they had to catch him alone?
If he hadn't seen that Yangliudu was under the jurisdiction of his father and was not doing things well, he wouldn't have been so angry here. It's a pity that the guard was holding chicken feathers as arrows at this moment.
But it's okay to be angry now. This old boy had better not wait until he catches his fault one day, otherwise, by then, he will have to let the other person know why the flowers are so red.
However, even though Zhu Yuewu was thinking this in his heart, he happily agreed to the other party's request, "Okay! Whatever you say is what it is, let's go up quickly!"
The guard didn't expect that Zhu Yuewu would actually agree to everything, so he couldn't help but cooperate immediately.
He then pointed at a Kunlun slave and muttered something. The Kunlun slave then nodded and left.
Zhu Yuewu couldn't understand the exchange between the two, so he naturally asked, "What are you talking about?"
The guard only smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Actually, he didn't say anything. He just asked him to bring a boatman over. Don't worry, the one we are looking for will definitely be the most experienced one."
boatman. "
Hearing this, Zhu Yuewu nodded, and soon Zhu Yuewu was led by the boatman to the boat.
After Zhu Yuewu and his party all chased the boat, the guard said to the grass next to him, "Okay, come out, he's gone."
After hearing what the other party said, two men dressed as women emerged from the grass.
The older one came out and scratched his arm and said, "Damn it, why are there so many mosquitoes in this place."
The younger one couldn't help complaining, "It's not normal to have so many mosquitoes here. It's good that we can stay alive."
While they were talking, the moonlight also shone softly on the two of them. The older one had white beard and hair, but he was wearing weird women's clothes and a strange pony bun. No matter how you looked at it, he looked like a pervert who loved to wear women's clothes, while the younger one looked like a pervert who loved to wear women's clothes. With her braided hair and wearing a girl's robe, she still managed to look like a not-so-cute little girl.
These two people are not just Taoist Master Niu and his young apprentice.
At this time, the five or six guards in front of Zhu Yuewu were very humble when facing Taoist Niu.
"Taoist Master, if you feel itchy, I have mosquito repellent ointment in the house. How about I go back to the house and get some for you?"
However, after hearing what the other party said, Taoist Niu waved his hand towards the other party and said, "You don't have to give me the mosquito repellent. I don't need it. You can keep it for yourself."
The young apprentice did not expect that his master could yell at each other like this. He felt guilty, so he just explained to the other party, "Uncle, don't mind, my master has such a temper. If my master is offended in any way, I apologize for your inconvenience, and thank you for your help just now."
The young apprentice's thanks were undoubtedly sincere. After all, the situation just now was so dangerous. Even if his master dropped a fog egg and temporarily prevented those people from finding the master and apprentice, they actually had nowhere to escape. A grassy field covered with weeds, with the river at Willow Ferry on one side.
They fled to the grassland, and it was only a matter of time before they were found, but if they went to the river to take a boat, to be honest, they didn't know how to row.
Not even good at rowing.
And just when the master and the apprentice didn't know what to do, his master made a decision. He asked himself to hide in the grass while he went to the river to attract the attention of those people. If they Coming to the river, his master planned to jump directly into the river.
To be honest, his master didn't know how to swim and couldn't run fast. If he had really jumped into the water at that time, he might not have a master from now on.
Fortunately, at this moment, the guard of the ferry and his two friends appeared in time. He pointed the way and asked his master and himself to hide in the grass. Then his two friends quickly put on their raincoats and took the boat. go.
In just a short moment, the three of them had already helped Dao Zhang Niu and the others to hide and divert their attention.
To be honest, if these three people hadn't helped without hesitation today, he and his master might have died. Moreover, if these three people helped him regardless of the cost, the consequences they would face would be to offend Zhu Yuewu, although his little apprentice would also It was the first time to see Zhu Yuewu, but the young disciple had already heard about Zhu Yuewu's deeds. He was not a big devil who did good things, and his flaws would definitely be repaid.
The guard didn't seem to expect that the young apprentice could be so polite, so he immediately waved his hand towards the young apprentice and said, "Taoist priest, you are humble. Taoist Niu has helped us people many times without asking for anything in return. Now I can help." It’s a small person’s blessing to go to Niu Dao once.”
The kid obviously didn't expect the guard to be so polite.
For a moment, he wondered if he had heard something wrong. Otherwise, how could this person say such a thing.
In the child's mind, his master is just a poor person who is not good at anything and is the first to eat. If it were not for him, his master would have been dead long ago. Moreover, their Taoist temple had no incense, so he felt that his master was even more ordinary.
But now everyone in the mountain was respectful to him, and the little boy couldn't help but wonder if this was his master.
It's a long time to see Niu Dao
His little disciple was still in a daze, and he couldn't help but said, "Little disciple, why are you dazed here? Standing here, you want to be caught by Zhu Yuewu."
After saying this, Taoist Niu walked back in a swaggering manner.
I have to admit that Taoist Niu's mention of Zhu Yuewu was very effective. After the young apprentice heard the other party mention the devil, he didn't dare to say a word. He just followed his master immediately. footsteps.
The guard watched the other party leave respectfully.
The young apprentice waited until he was far away before he asked his master, "Master, why did that person help us just now? And aren't they afraid of Zhu Yuewu's revenge if they help us like this?"
After hearing the young apprentice's questions, it was clear that Master Niu was not serious at all.
He only said, "Isn't it normal for him to help us? After all, there are not many Taoist priests with such an immortal spirit as our master. They think that our master is handsome and extraordinary, so naturally they want to help us."
After hearing his master's words, the young apprentice no longer wanted to ask him what his master had done. He just felt that his master was really thick-skinned.
If he had worn a Taoist priest's robe before, he would still look like a Taoist priest with an immortal style.
But now he is wearing women's clothes, and he doesn't look like some kind of Taoist priest with a celestial spirit. He is simply an old pervert who comes out in the middle of the night to scare people.
Of course, the little Taoist priest would not dare to complain like this in front of his master.
He just looked at his master silently, and then complained fiercely in his heart.
However, although Taoist Niu was unwilling to say that he had any interactions with the guard, he still answered seriously when answering the guard's safety question.
"As for the safety of the guard, you don't have to worry. Yangliu Crossing looks like it's in the wilderness, but it's actually the most important source of income for the Zhu family."
