The legendary Mr. Zhao did not panic when he saw that Miss Cui was not the only one coming in. He raised his hands and saluted, "Miss Cui."
"Mr. Zhao." Cui Lin unconsciously lowered her voice, sounding a little gentle and touching.
Ruan Xianbei was still standing nearby at the moment. He was afraid that Cui Lin would forget to introduce her, so he could only cough to attract attention.
"Mr. Zhao, this is my cousin."
Ruan Xianbei smiled at Mr. Zhao and said, "Yuan Xian'er. Hello Mr. Zhao, I always hear my cousin mention you. Do you mind if we meet unexpectedly this time?"
"Miss Yuan is so polite. As a commoner, Zhao Xiao is lucky to meet Miss Cui. I don't mind what Miss Cui does." Although Zhao Xiao was talking to Ruan Xianbei, he kept looking at Cui with a smile. Lin, after speaking, smiled kindly at her.
Ruan Xianbei got goosebumps listening to his sincere and affectionate tone. Zhao Xiao clearly said that he cared about the situation when she came with him, but he turned around and explained that he didn't mind anything because of Cui Lin. She should read more and talk more. Also winding and twisting.
Tsk tsk, what a green tea man.
But Cui Lin obviously didn't think that much. After they sat down, Zhao Xiao thoughtfully poured tea for them and took a sip first.
"Cousin, I'll sit over there and you guys can chat." Ruan Xianbei sat with them and was afraid that Zhao Xiao would be uncomfortable staring at him, so he took a teacup and sat on the couch next to him.
They chatted for a while about everything from today's weather to philosophy of life. Cui Lin took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhao, what you wrote in your last letter..."
Zhao Xiao interrupted her and said with a face of shame: "Just forget those bastard words I wrote last time. I... regretted sending them. You are so kind and gentle. I I know you didn't mean it, but my damn pride kept me from saying anything. I said those words to you, and I really have no shame to see you again! I'm here to say goodbye this time too."
Ruan Xianbei twitched the corner of his mouth: You have finished speaking, so is this a shameless advanced state?
"Why? Didn't you find your uncle?"
Zhao Xiao said: "My uncle is old, and their family is not very wealthy. I still have to take exams, and I have no income, so I really don't want to cause them any more trouble..."
"With your talent, you will definitely be able to accomplish something in Beijing, but the time has not yet come. Wait until my father comes back and I will ask him to recommend you to the Imperial College." Cui Lin really admired Zhao Xiao and listened to his heartfelt words of gratitude. He became anxious.
Ruan Xianbei shook his head in surprise, so don't protect girls too well, otherwise they will be deceived by men casually.
She smelled the smell in the room and felt something was not right, so she released Xiaoqing and wrapped it around her fingertips. She didn't know what Mr. Zhao's next step would be.
"I appreciate Miss Cui's kindness...but I don't have the shame to trouble you again. I will return the silver you borrowed from me last time."
After hearing what he said, Cui Lin remembered that she had brought banknotes. She took out a few banknotes from the purse around her waist and put them on the table and said, "This is one thousand taels. You can get it from any major bank. At least It’s enough for you to buy a courtyard and live in Shangjing for a while.”
Ruan Xianbei's eyes suddenly widened. Miss Cui said that for a period of time, ordinary people could be reincarnated and live for several lifetimes!
Zhao Xiao's eyes flickered, he slammed the table and stood up: "How can I, Zhao Xiao, be the one who wants a woman to raise me?"
Cui Lin was shocked by his palm and said, "You know that's not what I meant..."
Zhao Xiao sat down again and looked at Cui Lin with sincere words and tender eyes and said: "Zhao Xiao thanks Miss Cui for your kindness, but you are so kind to me. No one except my mother is so kind to me. I really... ..”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Ruan Xianbei covered his mouth and laughed: "Young master Zhao, you don't have to be like this. This small amount of money is really nothing. My cousin will buy a few clothes and jewelry and use it up."
Zhao Xiao looked a little embarrassed, and his hand was stuck in mid-air. Fortunately, Ruan Xianbei quickly jumped down, grabbed the banknote and stuffed it into his hand, "Master Zhao, please accept it, it's my cousin's kindness."
The words he had been preparing for a long time were stuck in his throat and he felt uncomfortable, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Thank you, Miss Cui."
Cui Lin secretly exhaled. If Zhao Xiao said something, she really didn't know what to do.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, but since this house belonged to the Cui family, it was impossible for Cui Lin to leave, right?
I'll be the bad guy. Ruan Xianbei said, "If nothing happens, Mr. Zhao, please come back. It's not good for a man and a woman to live together in the same room."
Zhao Xiao looked a little hurt and said, "I know I'm not worthy of Miss Cui, but I still have something to give you. Please wait for me here for a while, Miss Cui, and I'll be back soon."
Cui Lin said yes, her voice sounded soft. Ruan Xianbei sent Zhao Xiao out and looked back at her, her face flushed, as if she had been drinking.
What kind of medicine was given?
Ruan Xianbei searched everywhere, and finally found other faint fragrances mixed in the incense burner.
Passionate fragrance? The methods are too despicable, right?
Cui Lin had no internal strength and seemed to have a seizure quickly. This dose had no effect on Ruan Xianbei. She released Xiaoqing and bit Cui Lin's finger, then helped her drink a glass of water.
Wait, something doesn’t seem right in the water, either? The fusion of the two...is a bit interesting.
"Mingxiang, Mingyue?" she shouted to the door.
Mingyue opened the door and came in and asked, "Ms. Cousin, what's wrong?"
"My cousin seems a little uncomfortable. Please help me change the pot of hot water and come back."
Mingyue saw Cui Lin leaning softly against Ruan Xianbei and quickly responded.
When Mingyue came back with another pot of water, Ruan Xianbei stroked her forehead and said to her: "Maybe my cousin was a little unhappy because Mr. Zhao left, so she felt a little uncomfortable. I'm also a little tired. Please stay safe outside and don't let others. People come in and let’s rest inside for a while.”
Ming Yue said yes, and Ruan Xianbei asked again: "Where is Ming Xiang?"
"Mingxiang went to prepare vegetarian food for the lady. The lady usually eats the vegetarian food before going back."
"Then Mingxiang can call us when he comes back."
"yes."
Ruan Xianbei asked Xiaoqing to spit a little saliva from his fangs and drop it into a water glass, and then gave Cui Lin a few more sips of water before Cui Lin recovered from her dazed state.
"I...what's wrong?" Cui Lin asked her with a frown. Just now she suddenly felt very uncomfortable and her consciousness was blurred.
"Drugged."
Cui Lin looked at her in disbelief and said, "Is it... Mr. Zhao?"
Ruan Xianbei praised her as if coaxing a child: "Congratulations on getting the answer right."
"Cousin, time is urgent. Let's make a short story short. Now I will tap your acupoints, and you have to pretend to be unconscious. Don't open your eyes. There is a good show about to take place." Ruan Xianbei covered her mouth and explained seriously again and again, Be sure not to open your eyes, Cui Lin nodded, and the next second she found that she couldn't move.
Then she was laid down on the couch by Ruan Xianbei, with a water glass in her hand. Ruan Xianbei also fell next to her and threw the other glass to the ground.
The sound of the cup breaking was clear and harsh.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, suddenly
Ran shouted in a low voice, and a reflection that appeared just ten meters away from the camp, as well as a rustling sound, aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
