From Beijing to Beiliang, it is about 270 kilometers by taking the official road. Of course, the transportation industry of the Ming Dynasty in this world is actually relatively developed. Whether it is a profit-making private station or the [Gaoma Station] in which the imperial court has a stake, they can be seen everywhere on the Ming Dynasty road.
Among them, private stations are a profitable industry founded by major chambers of commerce. Such private stations often provide one-to-one services. The more money you spend, the more services the station will provide you. For example, "咴咴鴴站", the leader of Daming's private stations, can provide high-level escort services, and can even directly purchase "Didi Beating" services on the way.
As a project founded by the state, Gaoma Station is relatively civilian-oriented. Compared with the four-person station that costs five or six taels of silver, Gaoma Station generally only requires forty or fifty coppers to travel between two cities.
It is worth noting that the carriages at Gaoma Station are special carriages that can carry twenty or thirty people at a time. If you encounter an unscrupulous stationmaster at Gaoma Station, you can even buy tickets.
Of course, you just spend this amount of money and don’t ask for comfort. After all, the carriages at Gaoma Station are the face of the country. As long as the water content in the brain is less than 90%, gangsters will not dare to pick up the carriage at Gaoma Station. carriage.
So the question is, which one will Zhou Li or Tang Wan choose?
"You can even counter-buy the votes, I'm your bastard!"
Beside the official road of Beiliang Gaoma Station, Zhou Li, who didn't care about the strange looks of others, grabbed Tang Wan's slender arms with his left hand, pushed him to the ground with a super knee, and shouted with despair:
"Damn, this is Beiliang! Beiliang! How did you buy a ticket from Beijing to Beiliang?! Are you Brother Sun? Can you buy the wrong ticket?!"
"Actually, I already noticed something was wrong when I bought it."
The petite girl was pressed under her knees, without any shame at all. Instead, she put her hands behind her back and explained solemnly: "But I think normally Gaoma Station will not sell me a ticket in the opposite direction, so you know Bar."
"I understand, you hammer."
It's back, it's all back.
Looking at the snow-haired girl who raised her little head and looked at him innocently, Zhou Li was furious for a moment, but he was helpless. For a long time, he slowly let go of Tang Wan's arm, sat back on the chair, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his cheek vigorously.
"It doesn't matter."
Tang Wan casually patted the dust on his body, walked to Zhou Li, stood on tiptoes, patted Zhou Li on the shoulder, and said maturely: "There will always be a solution to difficulties."
"You are my biggest difficulty."
Zhou Li slumped down on the chair and sighed feebly. He raised his head, glanced at the water stone clock, and muttered to himself dejectedly:
"I'm so stupid, really. I know that you are an imbecile and your intelligence deteriorates as soon as you touch money, but I still let you buy tickets by yourself. People are still smart even though their bodies have become smaller. Why do you have such a body and... The brain and heart have shrunk together..."
"Maybe it's because I'm a sissy."
Holding the protruding part under the long skirt, Tang Wan said solemnly: "I do feel a little stupid since it got bigger here. It should be related to the fact that you often said in school that you have big breasts and no brains. "
Tang Wan, a genius with Tang syndrome who will directly degenerate into a mentally retarded person as long as she is separated from "drugs, fighting, and art". Even though she has all kinds of shortcomings, she has one advantage that Zhou Li has to admit.
Have the courage to admit mistakes and be willing to admit them.
"Fuck you."
Zhou Li used three simple words to express the rich emotions deep in his heart. After finishing his emotion, he got a headache:
"I just asked the dispatcher. The bus we missed was the last bus. The horse bandits arrested the students of Taixue Academy. The matter has become a big deal. The government will seal the official road tomorrow. There will probably be no high-horse carriages these days. "
"Where's the private inn?"
Tang Wan on the side put his hands on his hips and slowly turned his upper body in a circle. His cute and cute appearance attracted the attention of passers-by. "Next time, be gentler. It makes my waist hurt."
"Don't be disgusting bro."
Zhou Li twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Private inns are indeed feasible. After all, they can not follow official channels, and the comfort level is also high, but..."
Patting his waist, Zhou Li said numbly: "We have no money."
"No money?"
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Don't you still have a golden bean?"
"Fake."
Zhou Li touched his waist, then threw the golden melon seed to Tang Wan, and said indifferently: "The lead-filled copper is specially used to deal with the eunuchs and Jinyi guards of the East Factory. This thing has no seal and the government does not recognize it, so Most people just throw it away after receiving it, or don’t spend it at all.”
"It still has to be your craftsmanship."
After observing it carefully, Tang Wan raised his head, and a look on his face showed that it was indeed you, "It's so fake."
"So, we only have one choice now."
Taking out a map of Beijun, Zhou Li pondered for a moment, and then said:
"There is a small town on the east side of Beiliang, called Zongmu Town. I read the label and found that there should be a sub-station of the Gao Ma Gang here, and it does not follow the blocked official road. I have done the math, let's set off now, at most You should be able to get there in two hours."
"Yeah?"
Tang Wan came directly to Zhou Li's side, his long white hair mixed with the girl's unique fragrance hitting his face. Looking at the girl's delicate jawline and her jewel-like eyes, Zhou Li smiled.
Then he pressed the other person's head on the chair.
"Pay attention to keep the distance between men and women."
Zhou Li looked at Tang Wan who was struggling to stand up, and said with a faint smile: "Next time you attack suddenly like this, I will twist your head off~"
"But my psychological gender is male."
Tang Wan said to Zhou Li seriously: "I think I should be considered a male."
“Women’s tickets at Gaoma Station are half-price.”
"Then I am a woman."
Zhou Li was silent.
"walk slowly."
Zhou Li nodded and did not dwell too much on the matter. He picked up the petite girl and left the high horse station on the beam. The two returned to the city gate, and after explaining where they were going, they left Shangliang City under the cover of night.
However, what Zhou Li and Tang Wan did not see was that just as they left the city gate, a pair of cold eyes disappeared from the darkness.
"My lord, the cauldron is dead."
The warm fragrance lingers, the spring curtains are hanging, and in the luxurious golden furnace, a round white incense ball exudes a refreshing aroma. On the red velvet bed behind the barrier, a graceful and graceful woman's figure loomed. She slowly raised her hand, the beauty revealed by the incense candle was fascinating.
"Where are the seeds?"
"Report to my lord..."
At this time, the man who reported to the woman behind the tent knelt on one knee, lowered his head tightly, and his rough skin was glowing with a strange purple light. After a brief silence, the man gritted his teeth and slowly spoke: "Seed ···It was taken away.”
Boom.
The heartbeat suddenly amplified, the man's pupils suddenly contracted, and a painful palpitation spread. He gritted his teeth and quickly explained: "My lord, there was someone else who killed Ding Lu, not Hou Jue."
"Not Hou Jue?"
Along with the woman's question, the heart palpitations suddenly dissipated, and the man knelt on the ground and gasped, thankful that he had saved his life. After a while, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"For some reason, the Xiaobaihu under my command suddenly expelled Hou Jue from Jinyiwei, so Hou Jue did not participate in the operation to annihilate Hongweilou. Seeing that Hou Jue was not around, I asked the deputy commander of Jinyiwei to delay the action. But unexpectedly, I Less than an hour after leaving Shangliang, a demon hunter who went to Beijing broke into the grand building alone, killed the cauldron and took away the seeds."
After finishing speaking, the man kowtowed three times respectfully, bowed to the ground, and said tremblingly: "My lord, this matter is due to my negligence. I hope you can give me a chance to make meritorious deeds."
"You were not the one who inspected Hongwei Building, so this crime has nothing to do with you."
The woman behind the gauze curtain slightly moved her slender fingers to draw a semicircle, and her voice was as sweet as honey in a jar:
"If I can't even distinguish between rewards and punishments, I'm not qualified to be the King of the Northern Demon. Transforming a snake into a dragon is even more nonsense. Red Scorpion, you can continue to be the master of this thousand households, dormant among the Jinyi Guards. Of course, you can also look for these seven seeds to help me transform into a dragon, so..."
The gauze curtain slowly opened, revealing a beautiful face covered with strange but gorgeous diamond-shaped scales. The woman stuck out her long tongue, and a kind of enchanting beauty lingered on her body. She looked at Qianhu, who was covered in cold sweat, and asked softly and charmingly:
"Which one do you choose?"
*************************
"I choose the left."
At the fork with no signs or road signs, Zhou Li rubbed his chin and said firmly: "Based on the arrangement of these footprints and the traces of ruts, I think the left side should be the right one."
"Then I'll choose the right."
Tang Wan sat on the stone beside him, holding his cheeks, his cheeks slightly bulging, and said firmly: "There is no reason, mainly because two people have to have different opinions when facing two forks, otherwise it will be too smooth. Something feels wrong."
"you."
Zhou Li gritted his teeth and gave up the urge to punch the opponent into the mud. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down his inner turmoil and said calmly to Tang Wan: "Let's go, I will listen to you and go to the right. "
"well?"
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "I didn't expect that Zhou Li would actually listen to me."
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded and said calmly: "If the road on the right is false, I will push you into the manure pit and drown you."
"We'd better go to the left."
Tang Wan said with a pale face, she was not worried that Zhou Li would drown her, after all, he was not a bad person. But Zhou Li will definitely push her into the pit, because Zhou Li is a devil, he is not a human at all.
"That won't work."
Zhou Li smiled coldly and walked towards the path on the right with Tang Wan, who was showing his teeth and claws. Now an hour has passed since they set off from Beiliang City. They only need to walk another twenty or thirty miles to reach their destination.
The dilemma they faced was because the map was a long time ago, and Zhou Li did not expect that there would be an unknown fork in front of them. After communicating harmoniously, the two chose to take the path on the right.
On the right?···
The man wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife on his waist lowered the brim of his hat, slowly walked out of the forest, and walked to the right. Under the moonlight, the traces of compound eyes vaguely appeared in the man's black pupils.
