Quick Travel: After the European Emperor can sign in

Chapter 121 The parents on the road to escape 19

Niu Dabi then went to stand guard. Yuan Xi and the clan leader returned to the team in Zhangjia Village. A group of concerned people gathered around to inquire about the situation.

Yuan Xi left the clan leader and slipped back alone.

"Second brother, I'm going to the city to buy things later. Whoever wants to go to the city will come with me. I've booked two rooms at an inn in the city. You can go there to rest, take a shower or something."

I didn't think it at first, but when I heard about taking a shower, other people felt itchy all over their bodies. Since I started escaping from the famine, I haven't taken a shower for more than ten days. I just simply scrubbed when I encountered water sources or passed through towns.

Seeing everyone's eyes light up, Yuan Xi waved his hand, "Everyone go, let's go together."

"Dad, why don't I stay and look at the things? You can go ahead." Zhang Lei hesitated and decided to stay and look at the luggage.

"Brother can't stand it alone, so I'll stay too."

"I'll stay too."

Qi Hu, who had already entered the city, said: "I have already washed it. It is better for me to stay. It is enough for me to watch alone. You can go."

"Okay, okay." Yuan Xi interrupted them, "Let's go together and bring our luggage in together. There's nothing to argue about."

"But……"

"No buts, don't worry, the soldier standing guard at the city gate is familiar with me." The money is not in vain.

Yuan Xi made the decision and the six cars drove slowly towards the city gate. When passing by the clan leader, Yuan Xi said something to the clan leader.

The patriarch turned around to organize the villagers, and arranged for his eldest son and several other people who had entered the city to lead the team to lead the way for those villagers who wanted to enter the city to meet Yuan Xi at Laifu Inn.

Using Laifu Inn as a base, he felt relieved with Yuan Xi watching over him.

However, not everyone was willing to pay the entry fee of twenty cents per person, and in the end only a few people entered the city.

When Yuan Xi was about to pay the entrance fee, Niu Dabi said nothing and refused. After a few rejections, Niu Dabi directly said that if he gave him more money, he would look down on him. Yuan Xi was so shocked that he took the money back on the spot. . Okay, if you don’t want it, don’t.

Zhang Yuanlin looked at this outrageous scene with a strange expression on his face. After entering the city, he kept secretly looking at his third brother.

"Second brother, why do you keep looking at me?"

"Let's see what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into him?"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "It's mainly my brother's personal charm, plus a little bit of financial assistance."

"Oh, no wonder, I gave him a lot of money. Five taels, ten taels?"

Yuan Xi didn't like hearing this, "Money is secondary."

"So how much was stuffed?"

"Five taels."

After receiving the reply, Zhang Yuanlin nodded with satisfaction. Five taels is quite a lot, no wonder the soldier is so kind and cheerful.

Laifu Inn.

When the waiter saw Yuan Xi returning with a group of people, he immediately greeted him, arranged the ox cart and donkey cart into the backyard, and then notified the kitchen to boil water for bathing and cook a table of delicious food.

Then he took a group of people to the room upstairs. Yuan Xi opened two rooms, one for men and one for men. The guest room was almost turned into a bathroom.

After finishing his work, he came to the lobby, stood next to Yuan Xi and said, "Sir, all the arrangements for the guests have been made."

Then he looked around and whispered, "I've already contacted my cousin."

"I heard that Mr. Ding likes to get drunk on the good wine from Xiangju. Could you please run an errand and go to Zuixiangju to buy some jars of good wine?"

Yuan Xi didn't want to move by himself, so he chose to pay the waiter in the store to buy it, and then paid some errand fees.

The waiter happily accepted the task.

It was just an errand, and this guest was so generous. He wished he could meet such a guest every day.

As evening approached, Yuan Xi went to the city gate alone. When he passed through Fucheng, he would pass by the Laifu Inn, so he simply asked others to wait there.

The cow pie has changed its guard, and now there are a few strangers at the gate of the city.

One of them looked at him as if he was sizing up something, and finally walked towards him as if he was sure of something. Yuan Xi looked at this unknown soldier and was a little confused, who is this?

After receiving Yuan Xi's confused look, the man explained: "The waiter at Laifu Inn is my cousin."

"My surname is Zheng, just call me Zheng Shichang."

"It turns out to be Zheng Shichang, whom I have admired for a long time."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Master Baihu." Zheng Shichang looked at the wine in Yuan Xi's hand, "It's quite good."

Yuan Xi followed him to a house beside the city wall where the patrol team rested.

There were several tables and chairs inside, and sitting there was a man about his age, with a muscular back and a scar on his face.

I think he is Ding Baihu.

"Master Ding, this man is here to discuss business."

"Oh, you are the leader of the group of people outside." Ding Baihu spoke in a treacherous tone.

Yuan Xi: ...Boss, it sounds like the leader of an illegal organization.

"Master Ding has good eyesight. He can tell at a glance that he is the leader of the group of people outside the city."

"That is."

Ding Baihu looked so proud and confident that Yuan Xi was almost speechless.

Yuan Xi quickly put several jars of wine on the table, "I heard that Master Ding loves fine wine. These jars are wine from Zuixiangju. Please give Master Ding a taste."

"Zuixiangju, I bet you are serious." Ding Baihu took a few sips and said, "Good wine."

"For the sake of this wine, I won't charge you more for the toll. The price is five hundred taels. After you take the money, you can leave. I will take two hundred and fifty taels, and you can give the other half the remaining half. If you are a city gate person, they will let you out after they get the money.”

Good guys, two hundred and fifty each.

This money made him feel uneasy, and he always felt like he was mocking others.

Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't respond, Ding Baihu stared blankly, "What, you think it's too expensive?"

Chief Zheng immediately stood by to smooth things over, "You don't know what's right and what's wrong. The price I gave you is an honest price. There is no room for you to bargain here."

He secretly gave Yuan Xi a wild wink.

"My lord, you misunderstood." Yuan Xi immediately took out three silver notes from his arms, which he had just exchanged at the bank in Fucheng. "My lord, look, this is... two hundred and fifty taels."

After struggling to say the number two hundred and five, Ding Baihu and Zheng Shichang didn't react at all, but looked at him with admiration. Yuan Xi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no such curse word as "two hundred and five" in this world.

After walking out of the house, Yuan Xi stuffed a wallet into Zheng Shichang. It was light and contained banknotes. Thank him for smoothing things over just now.

Zheng Shichang pinched his purse and put it neatly into his arms, looking at Yuan Xi with eyes full of admiration.

"Master Ding just looks fierce. In fact, his temper is already settled. The master at the other city gate is not as easy to talk to as him. Be smart when the time comes."

Chief Zheng took him to the city gate and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

The city gate slowly opened, and the people of Zhangjia Village were already lining up, with the clan leader leading the villagers into the city.

"Keep your voice down and follow him."

Chief Zheng pointed to a soldier to lead the way.

Soldiers held torches to lead the way, and people in Zhangjiacun lined up one after another.

After walking past Laifu Inn, Zhang Yuanlin and others went directly to the back of the queue.

It was quiet along the way, with no other sounds except the sound of wheels rolling over the stone road and the sound of burning torches.

Arriving at another city gate smoothly, Yuan Xi consciously went forward to negotiate, handed over two hundred and fifty taels of silver notes, and left the city smoothly. He didn't even see the hundreds of households guarding the city gate.

The man only sent one of his men to collect the money without showing his face.
