"Do you really have so much money?" The guard thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
"Brother, don't worry. Although I don't have any silver with me, I have a special status. It was Mr. Yang who personally recruited me into the West Factory."
"If you don't believe it, you can let me go first! I have dozens of taels of silver with me, so I can give it to you first. When you send me to Duke Yang, I guarantee that I will have one thousand taels of silver and not lose a penny!" The guard couldn't help but feel a little shaken when he saw the young woman's sincere face.
He opened his mouth and confirmed again: "Are you sure that as long as I send you to Mr. Yang, you will give me one thousand taels of silver?"
"Are you trying to trick me?" Upon hearing this, the young woman shook her head firmly.
"Brother, don't worry. I, Mrs. Xu, swear to God, it's just a thousand taels of silver, and I will definitely give you nothing." She said, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Mr. Yang...should be willing to pay this thousand taels of silver for me, right? After all, I was also captured for the goods of the convoy... If he refuses to pay the money, at worst, I will borrow it.
Thinking of this, she nodded firmly again and said: "Don't worry, I am from the Xu family in Jiangnan. Do you still remember the piece of nephrite that your young master took away? That is the token of our Xu family." The Xu family in Jiangnan. Most people have heard of the name.
The texture of that piece of nephrite was extraordinary, and the guards could naturally tell that. Although he didn't understand jade, he thought that something that the third young master could hold and play with was not an extraordinary thing.
At this point, he no longer had any worries in his heart, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will trust you this time!"
"This time the third young master was called away by the eldest lady, and he offended Mr. Yang again. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."
"Just wait, I will untie the rope for you." The guard said, then stood up and walked behind the young woman and untied the rope for her.
The young woman broke free from the restraints and suddenly beamed with joy. She saluted to the guard and said, "Thank you so much, brother, for saving your life. The Xu family will definitely repay you." Seeing that the young woman had no intention of defaulting on her debt, the guard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked around and whispered: "Although the third young master probably won't come back, I'm not the only one surrounded by guards. Let's be careful and try not to make any noise."
"You follow me, we will try our best to escape from here first." The young woman nodded and followed the guard quietly.
The two of them walked lightly and carefully towards the side door of the courtyard. The guard made a silent gesture toward the young woman, then cautiously stepped forward and put his ear to the side door.
After waiting like this for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, there's no one outside." After saying that, he gently opened the side door and stepped out of the courtyard. But at this moment, a cool and playful voice sounded behind him.
"Where are you going with my young master's woman?" As soon as these words came out, the guard stood frozen on the spot!
Cold sweat soaked his clothes almost instantly. At the same time, he almost subconsciously pulled out the dagger from his waist and placed it on the young woman's jade-like neck.
"Third Young Master, if you let me go, I will hand this woman over to you."
"If you don't agree, I will kill her now!"
"Brother, you..." The young woman felt the coolness on her neck, and her pretty face turned pale with fear. She originally thought that she already had hope of living.
As long as we can escape from here, we can save the day from danger this time. However, she never expected that just when she was about to escape, the third young master would appear again!
"I take care of your food and drink. Is this how you repay me?" Zhou Feng sneered, with murderous intent hidden in his calm eyes.
"Master, please don't blame me. My life is worthless. It's not worth the master's anger for me." At this moment, the guard had completely let go.
I only have one life. If I can give it a try, I might be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life!
So he gritted his teeth and continued: "The young master finally fell in love with a woman. I don't think he will miss out on beauty because of my miserable life."
"As long as the young master is willing to give me one thousand taels of silver and let me go. This young lady, I promise to return the money to the young master without any loss. What do you think of the young master?"
"You're very good." Zhou Feng's face was gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes was almost as real.
"You have some courage to negotiate terms with me."
"Come here, bring me five thousand taels of silver notes!" He just waved, and one of his men immediately handed the silver notes into his hand.
A hint of disdain flashed in Zhou Feng's eyes. He shook the banknote in his hand and said disdainfully: "I have five thousand taels of banknote here, young master!"
"Aren't you short of money? I'll give it to you!" As he spoke, he waved his wrist forcefully. The next moment, the snow-white banknotes swayed down from the mid-air like a cloud of snow.
When the guards saw this scene, their eyes were almost straight! He had never seen so much silver in his life, but at this moment, it was thrown out casually and scattered in the air.
He subconsciously stretched out his other hand, trying to grab a few banknotes! But at this same moment, murderous intent was clearly revealed in Zhou Feng's eyes.
"Do it!" The next moment, the man in black appeared from nowhere, jumped up, and surrounded the guard.
The guard looked shocked and was about to stand upright when he suddenly felt a chill in his throat. Immediately afterwards, countless long knives with cold light pierced his heart easily...
"A thing like mud is worthy of making terms with me?" Zhou Feng curled his lips disdainfully, rushed forward and grabbed the young woman's tender wrist.
"Little lady, you are a little disobedient."
"What I hate most are disobedient people!" As he spoke, Zhou Feng's eyes became fierce!
He exerted slight force on his wrist.
"Ah! Let me go!" The young woman screamed, and a large bruise appeared on her wrist. But her scream made Zhou Feng next to her show a strange expression on his face.
He looked at the young woman who was so close, and his eyes shone with incomparable greed. He turned his head impatiently and said to the guards: "Do your work well for me, and I will not treat you badly! But if someone has evil intentions, I will not show any mercy!" After saying this, he turned to look at Uncle Sun and said sincerely: "Uncle Sun, I want to rest here for a while. I wonder if Uncle Sun can wait here for a while?" Uncle Sun frowned.
"But... didn't your eldest sister say that this woman's companion is on the way here?"
"To be on the safe side, why don't you, Third Young Master, return to Zhou Mansion first like me?"
