Chapter 87
Fan Xian's convoy slowly drove out of the border of Danzhou City, this time his route was very strange.

According to the road map, if you go out of Danzhou City and go straight down, that is, if you go south, you will pass through Quzhou and reach Jiangnan. If you go all the way west, you will pass through Cangzhou and directly enter Cangzhou City. And heading north is to pass through the waterway to reach the territory of the sandbar.

However, Fan Xian took a northwesterly direction, and a random turn may have entered Cangzhou City or Shazhou City. No matter which way he went, it was Fan Xian's random decision, so others wanted to guess. Fan Xian's idea was quite difficult.

Fan Xian did it on purpose, he had a lot of thoughts, and at this time Fan Xian was also guessing, guessing a lot of things, such as the next move of the eldest princess Li Yunrui, and other situations, before getting information , Fan Xian will not act rashly.

A group of carriages and horses stopped in front of a restaurant in the suburbs.

The restaurant is not dilapidated. From the outside, it should be relatively comfortable inside. There are tea stalls outside, providing passing travelers and people on the road to drink tea and drink, eat meat and fight.The chariots and horses of Fan Xian and others did not have any obvious signs, so bystanders looking at them must not know where Fan Xian and his group came from and where they were going.

So there was no need for Fan Xian and the others to hide anything, they walked in openly.After the carriage and horses were settled, Gao Da gave some money to the old slave in the stable, and gave the high-quality horse feed. They packed up their things and moved the goods in. Fan Xian led the people out of the carriage.

Several people entered the restaurant one after another, and found that this restaurant is really unusual. There are people coming and going, and the scene is similar to Baoyuelou for a while, but it is obviously not a brothel, it is just full of people. .

Fan Xian brought Fan Ruoruo, Qu Han, Wang Qinian, and Gao Gao to sit at a table, while the others sat next to each other.

After three full tables were filled by Fan Xian and others, Fan Xian shouted, "Xiao Er!"

"Come on, you!" An anxious man ran up to Fan Xian. The boy was wearing a hat and a towel-like cleaning cloth over his shoulders. The table was wiped, and he asked while wiping, "Guests, what do you want? Our small shop has a lot of specialties, such as wild deer from Cangzhou, fish from Danzhou, sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Shazhou, and Kyoto city. What would you like to order?"

Fan Xian casually ordered some cooked food from Shazhou and Cangzhou. He didn't want to eat game, so he ordered a few pots of wine, and then he said that he would serve the same dishes to the other three tables.When Xiao Er slowly walked back, Gao Da and Wang Qinian's expressions were not very good.

"This is a black shop." Gao Da whispered to Fan Xian.

Fan Xian drank the tea steadily and did not show any unnatural behavior. After he put down the tea slowly, he said, "We have been targeted. As expected, the horse should not be able to move. They got off." laxative."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head joyfully, as if he wanted to say something to Fan Ruoruo, but actually looked around the entire restaurant and observed the layout of the restaurant.

The restaurant is three stories high. There are people eating and drinking, people playing money, and people staying in the hotel. Obviously, the second and third floors of this restaurant can be used by people. There is also noise from above, but the noise is not very loud. Fan Xian listened attentively. , he slowly closed his eyes.

"This team is really generous, shopkeeper!" After finishing speaking, the voice came directly to his ears. Fan Xian couldn't tell who was speaking, but he knew that it must be the shop assistant. But it wasn't the waiter from the shop just now.

"Yeah." A middle-aged voice came out, his confidence was very tough, he lowered his head and said, "This group of people is still very well armed, but it seems that there is no one to respond. I also look at the carriage. After passing, people took a cart, and the two carriages behind were full of goods, and it seemed that they had a lot of things, and they should be able to sell them at a good price. I will find the master tonight and act at night."

"Yes, shopkeeper, I'm going to contact the seller right now, what if they don't stay at the store?" Another person asked.

"I've thought about this a long time ago. The horse farmers at the door have already added some feed to their horses' feed. When they finish eating this meal, they will find that the horses can't walk anymore and have diarrhea. It is impossible to find out the reason for the horses. After all, there are many reasons for the problems of the horses, so they will not feel anything. Since the horses cannot move, they can only rest in our shop. Is it time to do something?" The speaker laughed loudly, "We are not afraid of taking some money from this business, and besides, the bandits in Danzhou City have been completely occupied and hollowed out during this period of time. Since such a big event happened, these Of course, the errands of the traveling merchants and freight forwarders thought that no one would dare to do anything at this time, so if we do the opposite, wouldn’t we let the other party play into our hands?"

"It's still the shopkeeper's cleverness. His eyesight is really good. As soon as he comes, he can immediately see the opponent's strength and the things on the horse and horse. He can also directly see the opponent's strength. Just this kind of eyesight is not enough for others It seems that I will continue to learn from the shopkeeper." One person said while patting Rainbow Fart.

"Hahahaha." The shopkeeper laughed loudly, "If that's the case, you are still not strong enough. Can you possibly see who the leader is?"

"The leader? The shopkeeper is talking about the young man in brocade clothes? A handsome young man with two daughters on his left and right?" asked another person.

The shopkeeper nodded, "Who do you think he is?"

One of them was silent for a moment before, and said with a smile, "I think it's just a second-generation ancestor. With so many female relatives, I must be worried about the loneliness of the journey. I'm afraid it's the fate of the family. When I come out to deliver goods, maybe it's a high-ranking official in the city who is about to get married. It is not a long-lived person, judging from his face, prepared by the fellowship of his daughter."

Several people laughed, and then the shopkeeper asked again, "Tell me."

"My opinion is different. I think this person is a bachelor of Chunwei High School. After the assignment, he returned to his hometown to become an official. The team has no logo, so it can be seen that this person is low-key, and from the two people around him The woman can see that although this person is afraid of causing trouble, he is still obsessed with sex. We can start from this point and cooperate with the buyer at night to catch him off guard." Another person said.

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "That's right!"

"Tell me, the shopkeeper, who is this person?" A voice that had never spoken before asked.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This person is indeed an official, and this person still has a certain ability. His steps into our restaurant are completely different from those of others. I think he has a certain level." Human, but the strength is not high."

"Besides, this person's status is not very high. You see, his guards are not the guards next to the dignitaries that I have seen. There is even one of them who is close to him without a knife. Do you know if there is one?" The guards with knives are the most low-level guards among the officials?" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Besides, those guards are not wearing the gold or silver armor worn by high-end tiger guards, or silver helmets and silver armor. The guards are not enjoyed by high-ranking officials, so I conclude that this person is not the number one scholar, maybe he is just the second best candidate, and he is going to be a parent official in a low-level place."

"What the shopkeeper said is very true. I heard that the magistrate of Danzhou City seems to have had his home raided. This person may be the one who is going to be the magistrate of Danzhou City." Another person suddenly said.

"Hahahaha." The shopkeeper smiled confidently.

Fan Xian shook his head helplessly, then recovered his hearing and opened his eyes.

These people seem to be doing a very interesting business. After hearing a few words, Fan Xian felt that these people wanted to sell themselves to the people around them, but Fan Xian didn't know exactly what they wanted to sell and how to do it. , I had to wait and watch it at night, after all, it was impossible for Fan Xian to leave now.

"My lord, I don't feel right." Wang Qinian said in a low voice, "There is blood under the towel on the waiter's shoulder."

After saying this, the two girls looked at Fan Xian in shock. Their incredible expressions were written all over their faces, but Fan Xian still sat as firmly as Mount Tai. He didn't show any unnatural expression, and smiled calmly. He said to the people on the table, "I didn't even panic, why are you panicking? Eat."

Before everyone could refute, there was a loud voice saying, "Here we come! Serve your three tables!"

It wasn't just one waiter who brought all kinds of dishes to the table, but four or five people. It seemed that there were quite a lot of waiters in this shop.

The table was full of dishes, Fan Xian looked at the dishes on the table, without thinking, just put his chopsticks down, and started eating.

"grown ups!"

"elder brother!"

Several people became anxious, but they still didn't dare to show their faces, and didn't dare to make their voices too loud.

Fan Xian looked around and said with a contemptuous smile, "What are you afraid of? If we poured out our medicine now, wouldn't it be superfluous to return the medicine to our horse? What's more, if the other party poisoned the vegetables, so many What about the guests? If so many guests belong to them, why do they poison the dishes? With so many people, one slap is enough to clean us up, so there is no need for them to poison the dishes .”

Several people watched Fan Xian eat it with confidence, saying that it was normal to be secretly surprised, but there was nothing wrong with Fan Xian's eating. Besides, everyone knew that Fan Xian grew up eating poison. Was there any poison in this dish? Of course he could feel it, if it was poisonous, Fan Xian would definitely not let everyone eat it.

This time, Qu Han once again admired Fan Xian even more. The young man in front of him showed a calmness different from his age, and his heart was as deep as the sea. Of course, the most important thing was not only these, but the man in front of him. This person's quick thinking ability, he can judge the depth of danger in the first time for anything, and then make a corresponding judgment, and can directly come up with a countermeasure. It is not something that ordinary people can do. This kind of coordination ability is beyond the limits of what ordinary people can understand!

She was right. Fan Xian already had a complete plan to deal with any eventuality. He was full of anticipation for what was about to happen. After all, this inn occupies an important route within the three state capitals. Fan Xian Of course, what I understand is that since I have come out with Shang Fang's sword on my back, it is definitely impossible to avoid corrupt officials and bandits, and I have to find out what kind of demon king and demon king this is. The hole, is it a living Buddha or a ghost king inside!
The group came out staggeringly after they were full of wine and food. Fan Xian took the lead, and after leading the crowd out, he walked to Ma Nong's side and said loudly, "Where's our horse!"

"Ouch! Ouch! You're here, sir!" With that, Ma Nong walked to Fan Xian's side, and shouted anxiously, "Your horse is not acclimatized, or if it has been eaten badly." Well, this... I take good care of this, and I eat high-quality horse grass, but...but it happens, just look at it!"

Fan Xian pushed the horse farmer away, and strode over to his own horse. There were sixteen horses in their team, and five of them were already running loose and couldn't even stand upright. The horse's legs kept dangling. , Diarrhea came out constantly from behind, leaning against the wall, dying.

"How did this happen?" Fan Xian frowned, and directly mentioned Ma Nong, "Why the hell don't you even know how to feed a horse? Huh? Do you know who I am, Grandpa? You don't even know about my horse. Hey, I don’t understand, believe it or not, I hung you in front of my carriage of tens of millions of taels of gold, and the mule was taking a walk at that time!”

Apparently Fan Xian was exaggerating on purpose to make a show here. Fan Ruoruo looked at Fan Xian, but he really looked like a parent official who had just gained power, with a mighty and domineering face.

"My lord!" Suddenly a voice passed by the ears of several people. Fan Xian turned his head and looked at the visitor with bared teeth and claws. He seemed to be about to eat him alive, and said sharply, "Which fucking onion are you?"

Having said that, Fan Xian could hear it as soon as he heard it. This was one of the four people talking upstairs when they were eating just now, but he was not the owner of the restaurant, so he probably didn't go there. The person who was looking for the so-called buyer should also be a clerk in the store, and now he came out to smooth things over.

"Small ones are not busy farming..." The man was taken aback. He didn't expect Fan Xian to say such a sentence, comparing people to onions and garlic. It was the first time he heard it, but he didn't dare to disobey Fan Xian's style. He said aggrievedly.Fan Xian almost laughed out loud after hearing this, but he held back.

"The young one is the owner of this restaurant. He passed by here to go out to pick up the goods. He heard that the adults had a dispute with Ma Nong, so he came to see it." The man said.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and laughed, "How are you going to pay for this horse? This is a hard-earned horse!"

"What is... a BMW of sweat and blood?" The man was taken aback.

"Little dog slave, a savage!" Fan Xian yelled angrily, "You don't even know about sweaty and bloody BMWs? My horse is from the West Hammer Border Pass. Today, the BMW that the prince of the Qing Dynasty has fought on the battlefield for many years is the current BMW." The only horse in the world that has traveled thousands of miles a day and galloped across the world, you feed me like this! What crime should I deserve!" Fan Xian pointed at the nose of the visitor and said angrily.

Fan Xian also understood in his heart that he was just talking nonsense, the thousand-mile-long horse that the eldest prince gave you to use to pull the carriage?Only people with a sick mind can believe it, but he has to be so exaggerated so that the other party can know that Fan Xian is putting on airs to underestimate him.

Of course, the visitor also understood that Fan Xian was exaggerating. The big prince and the bloody BMW were all made-up tricks. They were just trying to make more money, but Fan Xian, who had something to say, had already thrown away the obvious things Come out, from the words just now, the visitor has heard the tens of millions of taels of gold in Fan Xian's carriage, this is not a small sum.In this way, Fan Xian and the others couldn't be spared. The other party had so many people that it was impossible to force them to stay. In this way, they had to outsmart them. The man smiled awkwardly and said to Fan Xian and the others.

"My lord, this, this... this is such a good horse, the shop really can't afford it! Why don't you wait for a while, sir, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to come out and talk to you!" After all, I still have to fight with the other party, so I said immediately, "Your shopkeeper is here, this is also a thousand-mile horse, a bloody horse, don't say I won't let you go, if you know who I am, you will lose your fucking head, understand Yet!"

"Understand! Understood! Just wait!" After finishing speaking, the visitor immediately ran away, turned around and entered the building.

Gao Da glanced at Fan Xian's eyes, and immediately grabbed Manon, "Old man, don't even try to run away!"

"The little one didn't want to run away, my lord!" The manong was about to cry.

Fan Xian immediately asked Gao Da to let go, just watch it, don't be scared by the old man for a while, it will not be fun.

Fan Xian took a deep breath, carried it on his chest, breathed out, his hearing improved greatly, and he followed the footsteps and went upstairs.

"Shopkeeper, this man is just as you expected, asking prices all over the sky, saying that his horse is a bloody horse, a thousand-mile horse, and that it was a gift from the eldest prince of the dynasty. The pigs, horses and cattle are all blown away by this kid." Go to heaven, if you don't go down and take a look, he dares to take this restaurant!" The visitor shouted.

The shopkeeper seemed to be silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs with you!"

After a while, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and this person also hurried to Fan Xian.

The shopkeeper who came was tall and burly, not to mention fat, with chest hair. If it weren't for the long robes, Fan Xian felt that the person in front of him might be a bandit, but the son of the magistrate of Danzhou City looked like a shopkeeper.

"Oh, my lord! My lord!" The shopkeeper came out crying, and his stooped body did not dare to show that he was taller than Fan Xian at all. He bent over and walked over, crying bitterly, "This damn horse Farmer, he has been working here for more than ten years, and this incident has never happened before. In recent days, his son was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and he was in poor health. He did something wrong, this guy is over sixty years old, he is not working properly, don't blame him, he has something to do with me."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him. These few words sounded like a quack, but now Fan Xian didn't buy into his account, so he snorted coldly, his nose almost reaching the sky, and shouted, "He Grandma, I don’t care about the dead old man, whoever pays me for my thousand-mile steed, this is a hard-earned BMW gifted by the great prince of the dynasty, it can travel thousands of miles a day..."

"My lord, please make an offer." The shopkeeper was too lazy to listen to Fan Xian's nonsense.

Fan Xian was taken aback, and didn't bother with him. Now that the price was mentioned, he was of course very happy, and said immediately, "This horse of a thousand miles is rare to see in a hundred years. How about it, give me 100 taels of silver!"

"100 taels?" The shopkeeper was surprised.

Fan Xian didn't ask for a price indiscriminately, the 100 taels of silver happened to be a hurdle, and it was Fan Xian who finally determined what kind of business the group in front of him was.

After all, 100 taels of silver is not a problem for ordinary households who have settled down for three to five years. If it is a good restaurant and restaurant, it is reasonable to get 80 taels and 100 taels a year, so Fan Xian asked for it. , is to ask the other party for a year's income from doing a good job, but if the other party is not a hard-working person, this 100 taels is a small amount. After all, intercepting a caravan, the income is a few hundred taels out of thin air. , no one can afford it.

"What? Want to try your lord's sword?" Wang Qinian couldn't sit still when he heard the 100 taels of snowflake silver. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed the long sword in Gundam's hand, drew it out and pointed it at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly retreated a few steps, pretending not to stand firm, but in fact he had already anticipated Wang Qinian's sword move, and nothing would happen.The panic on his face was still well done, he put his hands in front of him, and said immediately, "Gentlemen, please spare your life, please spare your life! Here! Here! 100 taels!"

Only then did Fan Xian snort coldly, "That's more or less the case." After the words fell, he stretched out his hand.

Then the shopkeeper smiled innocently, "My lord, this 100 taels of silver is not a small amount, you can go and make up for it? In this way, today, all the people of my lord will stay in the small shop, and you won't get any money. You can just live there. When will your horse be able to run..."

"Travel thousands of miles every day!" Fan Xian emphasized.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Of course I want to delay, after all, the 100 taels of silver still cannot be taken out.

"I'll give you an hour." Fan Xian said, "I'm staying here, I'll give you an hour, if the money can't be delivered, I'll start smashing it from the inside until you can send the money over!"

"Hey! Good! Good!" Dare the shopkeeper say?Of course not, he hurriedly invited Fan Xian and others into the restaurant.

Fan Xian and the others went upstairs, still in an extraordinary domineering manner, with his left arm around Qu Han and his right around Fan Ruoruo, he kicked the door and entered the room.

The shopkeeper looked at Fan Xian's back viciously, "I have to make you spit out all the 100 taels of silver and kill you bastard!"

"What did you say?" Gundam just happened to walk over.

"No, no, my lord, please, my lord." The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he quickly laughed along with him.

Gao Da put his arms around Wang Qinian, walked away and entered the room.
