"Thank you so much, shopkeeper," Yamazaki handed over his hand, "It's a matter of course and I won't bother the two masters. This jade pendant is actually a pair, and my sister-in-law also has one."
Shan Dai cleverly took out the jade pendant, and the shopkeeper opened his mouth and was dumbfounded.
Yamazaki continued, "Please accept it from the shopkeeper and help us get twenty taels of silver to rush to the capital."
"It's not because we are deliberately trying to embarrass the shopkeeper. It's really costing us money to pass the checkpoint and enter the city gate. Please be considerate of the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper had nothing to say, so he could only reach out and take the jade pendant, and asked angrily: "When will you come back? This is not a pawn shop!"
Yamazaki handed over his hand again, "Don't be angry, shopkeeper, we rode eight good horses."
"If you sell any horse, you will get hundreds of taels of silver. We just need to be on our way, otherwise we don't need to pledge our personal jade pendant."
"To the shopkeeper Yu Pei, this is only forty taels of silver, but to us it has been a personal belonging for more than ten years. The friendship in it cannot be measured by money."
"Well," the shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake and made the guest unhappy. I apologize."
Saying the salute, Yamazaki got out of the way, "No, it's our turn to thank the shopkeeper. Now we should ask the shopkeeper to open a room as soon as possible."
"That's right, I'm here to talk to you. I'll take you there right away. Hot water and food will be here soon."
"And that ginseng tea, I still need to rely on it to replenish qi and heal injuries."
"Just come, come."
…
Room.
Shandai helped Yamazaki sit down with his back to the wind, and then slapped him on the back. The force of the palm penetrated the inner robe that had been soaked with black blood, and the clothes on his back suddenly fell into pieces.
As the clothes fell, a large piece of black flesh appeared in front of his eyes.
The shopkeeper felt pain when he saw it, so he moved away.
After going out, I couldn't help but admire Yamazaki for being able to talk to him with such an injury.
This magnanimity, this tenacity, this perseverance are all capable of accomplishing great things.
…
room.
Shandai looked at the injury carefully and couldn't help but show her teeth, "Is this a through-bone nail? It can't be the authentic kind, right?"
"Exactly."
"Ha, it's a pain that is so deep in my heart, brother, you can really bear it." Shandai gave a thumbs up angrily, "I should have gone back and killed them all."
"It's important to hurry, there is always a chance for revenge."
Shan Dai pressed lightly and checked the injury, "Hurry, hurry, what does it matter if you are a day late! You have seen how Baozi treats us. We don't even have money to pay for emergencies when we go out. This is for them."
"Don't blame those who don't know. I believe that if they know, they won't be reluctant to part with that little money."
"Hmph, now it's better. I've mortgaged all the jade pendants. Why don't I redeem them and just let the boss sell them."
"What are you talking about? That pair of jade pendants belongs to us, not from the castle. Even if the castle gives us another good one, it won't be the one we have been wearing for many years, right?"
"Yeah, I can't tell you anything."
"Then let's be serious," Yamazaki asked solemnly, "Can you break this bone-penetrating nail without letting the inner energy rush to my side?"
"I don't know," Shandai smacked her lips, "If I were sure, I would have done it just now."
Yamazaki smiled bitterly, "As expected, then I have to take it with me on the way."
"Still on the way?" Shan Dai was greatly surprised, "Do you think you are made of iron? This is an authentic bone-penetrating nail. Not to mention the bumps of riding a horse, the pain is unforgettable even if you move it."
Yamazaki sighed: "Just think of it as repaying your kindness. It won't work if I don't go."
"Then I'll go alone."
"It's not that I don't trust you, but it's too complicated for you to handle."
Shan Dai was very dissatisfied, "How can you talk? You think you are the only one who can do it, right? OK, let's take a gamble and bet on anything."
"I don't bet. I admit that I can't beat you in this aspect, but you also have to admit that you can't handle complicated things well. It's just simple and crude." Yamazaki also smiled when he said it.
Shandai was so angry that she went crazy, "Believe it or not, I pulled out this bone-penetrating nail simply and roughly!"
Yamazaki nodded, "Yes, but that way I will lose a piece of meat, but I can still go on my way."
"Damn, I'm so angry." Shandai was at a loss for words and kept wandering around.
"Here comes the hot water." The waiter ran in with a kettle, "There are two more kettles."
"Put it over here."
Shandai took the copper basin and wooden foot basin from the shelf, boiled them, and then poured hot water into them.
Then he directly tore Yamazaki's cloth robe into four pieces, put it in the basin and ironed it to make face towels and footcloths.
At this time, the food arrived.
Yamazaki suggested, "Eat first, otherwise you'll still be sweating."
"Okay, you are a patient. I'll accommodate you. By the way, do you want me to feed you?"
"That's not necessary. You can still go and bring a bowl to eat. Besides, I'm afraid you'll stuff it into my nose on purpose."
"Hmph, I still look like a child. Where are the dishes?"
"Just put it on my side."
…
Four dishes and one soup, braised pork, roast duck, two vegetables, and a serving of wolfberry and pork liver blood-tonifying soup.
A roast duck leg, some boneless duck meat, some vegetables, pork liver and wolfberry were all placed in front of Yamazaki.
The rest, of course, belong to Shandai.
Shandai chuckled and distributed the food, then picked a piece of braised pork and chewed it.
Smooth, elastic, delicious, and juicy.
While I was enjoying myself, I suddenly heard a bunch of footsteps, and I saw it was a group of policemen.
The two thought they were asking questions, but unexpectedly the other party actually drew his sword.
The fat catcher, who was in his forties or fifties and had a fat belly, shouted, "Hey, arrest these two thieves."
"Yes!" The detectives carefully surrounded the room.
The two were dumbfounded, but the shopkeeper reacted quickly, "Master, you misunderstood, they are the messengers."
"You can tell they are in a group just by looking at them. Asking them to report to the police is just a thief calling for a thief." The catcher pushed him away, "Go away. I will punish you for harboring bandits later."
This time it was the shopkeeper's turn to be dumbfounded. How could he tell that they were from a group? Do they need a newspaper officer? Will you still report yourself to the police for harboring bandits? What's going on?
Shandai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My brother is injured like this. Is this a thief?"
The catcher sneered, "That's a cruel trick of yours."
"I think you were kicked in the head by a donkey!" Shandai was so angry that she wanted to take action.
The head catcher was furious, "You are so bold, you dare to insult the officers! Come on, catch these two gangsters!"
"Let me see who dares. The imperial city is so close and whoever wants to wipe out the nine clans should give it a try."
"Dang! Dang..."
Yamazaki's words suddenly made the scene quiet, except for the sound of a knife falling to the ground in fright.
"You, what did you just say?" The catcher's teeth chattered.
Yamazaki turned around slowly and showed his injuries. The black blood oozing out of his skin shocked the officials.
"I'm injured like this. I have to rush to the capital tonight. If it delays things, I'll take it as your own responsibility and ask, do you agree?"
"No, no, my lord, please spare my life." The head catcher knelt down directly, and the official also knelt down on the ground.
"Everyone, get up, I'm not from the government."
"I understand, I won't disclose it," the catcher said smartly, "They are all doing things for His Majesty."
