There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 597 Returning to Yuezhou, encountering a stolen horse (one more)
Li Jiaoniang told Luo Cheng what was in her heart.

Luo Cheng immediately agreed.

On the same day, Luo Cheng went to find Zhao Cong and Zhao Gui and explained their itinerary plan.

Zhao Cong and Zhao Gui arranged for four followers to be their guards, and sent a carriage to pack their luggage.

After Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng bid farewell to Lu You and Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng respectively, they set off two days later.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng were sitting in a carriage.

In another smaller carriage, Wushuang and Mrs. Tian were sitting, as well as everyone's luggage.

At the beginning of Maoshi, they set off from the south gate and headed for Yuezhou City.

The weather in spring is fine and the mountains and rivers are beautiful.

Not in a hurry, Luo Cheng asked everyone to walk slowly so that Li Jiaoniang could see the scenery.

In the evening, everyone went to a market.

This place is still a hundred miles away from Yuezhou City.

Seeing that it was getting late, even if they rushed on the road, it would be too late to return to Yuezhou City before the city gate closed, so Luo Cheng arranged for everyone to stay in the inn in the market.

Because it is a small market, the inn is not big.

There are only ten guest rooms in the two-story wooden building.

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang lived in one room.

Wushuang lived in a room with Mrs. Tian.

Juan shared a guest room with four other guards.

Xiao Erduan brought hot water, wiped everyone's faces, and after washing their hands, asked Luo Cheng what he wanted to eat.

Luo Cheng then said, "Just serve a few of your family's specialties, and just serve good wine."

Look at this tone of voice, this is a rich man.

Xiao Er was very happy, "Okay."

There are two tables for wine and food.

Juan, the four guards, Wushuang, and Lady Tian, ​​these people sat at a table and ate downstairs.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng sat alone at a table in the upstairs bedroom.

The two ate while talking about plans and arrangements.

They are big customers and pay a lot of money, so Xiaoer takes care of their horses very attentively.

The shopkeeper of this inn was worried, and even came to check it himself.

"Work carefully, feed the horses with good grains, and then wash the horses with clean water." The shopkeeper ordered.

Wanting to please, he even yelled loudly towards Luo Cheng's room.

Li Jiaoniang looked back and couldn't help smiling.

Xiaoer replied loudly, "Understood, shopkeeper."

Behind a big tree next to the inn, there was a man hiding, squinting, staring at the horses.

He reached out and touched his chin. There were six horses!
Not bad, today's task was overfulfilled.

Next, he can rest for five days.

The task of one horse a day is easier said than done.

I hope he meets such a rich man as he is today every day.

This is a boy, thirteen or fourteen years old, and looks very clever.

After watching for a while, he happily turned and ran away.

He ran to the end of the street in one breath, turned into an alley, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated small house.

bang bang bang-

The servant slammed on the door, "Master, open the door, Master!"

"Come here, where is the soul?" A middle-aged man said in a lazy voice behind the door.

The door creaked open.

"Is there any good news?" The middle-aged man asked, yawning.

The boy grinned, "Yes, yes, of course, it's good news."

The middle-aged man looked around, and found that no one was looking at them, so he stretched out his hand and dragged the boy into the house, and quickly closed the door.

"Say it soon?" The middle-aged man lowered his voice and urged the servant.

The servant proudly stretched out one hand, and lightened five fingers, but found that it was not enough, then stretched out the index finger of the other hand and shook it.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, "Six? Six and six smooth? Things are going well? The horse is easy to get out?"

The boy shook his head, "Six horses!"

The middle-aged man took a breath, his eyes widened, "Six...six horses?"

"That's right, two carriages, plus four servants on horses!" The boy smiled complacently, "Master, I'm doing really well today, and I found six horses at once."

"Okay, okay, I'll reward you with a roast chicken if you've done the job!"

The boy pursed his lips, not enough.

"Add another jug ​​of wine." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and twisted the boy's ear, "I know you hate having no wine."

"Hey, thank you Master." The servant grinned.

"Okay, stop laughing, let's get down to business, how many of them are there? How many men and women?" The middle-aged man asked again.

The servant said, "There are four servants of ordinary stature, a boy of thirteen or fourteen, a tall young man, a woman in her thirties, a girl of eighteen or nineteen, and a ten-year-old girl. Six or seven-year-old ladies, that's all."

The middle-aged man reached out and touched his chin, "There are too many men, so it's hard to grab them. You have to rely on outsmarting."

The boy thought of one thing, and said, "By the way, Master, they still have a lot of luggage. Those boxes are all new, big and heavy, and there must be a lot of valuables inside."

The middle-aged man patted the boy on the back of the head and sneered, "Does that matter? They brought four servants with them. I thought, the box is full of money."

"Hey, Master, shall we all move out?"

"How many boxes?" The middle-aged man asked again.

"Seven big boxes!" The boy said after thinking about it.

"Not bad, not bad." The middle-aged man flies his hand, smiling expectantly, "Find a time to move out at night."

The boy smiled and patted his head, "Master, can you...give me a box? Just one box, Master gets six boxes, and I only need one box."

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and patted his head, "Good idea! Half a box at most!"

The boy tilted his head and thought for a while, half a box is not bad, maybe the half box he allocated is full of money?
Half a box of money, there must be a thousand or eight hundred coins, right?
Hahaha, get rich!
……

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang were tired from the journey, and after dinner and a simple bath, they took a rest.

Lady Tian inspected the carriage and the horses, told the waiter in the shop to watch over the horses, and went back to sleep with a yawn.

The other four servants and Juan also went to rest separately.

Only Wushuang was in good spirits. She quietly opened the window, grabbed a handful of watermelon seeds, and sat by the window, eating the seeds and drinking tea.

There was no light in her room, and a little gray-haired guy quietly walked into her room.

It was very quiet, but Wushuang was still audible.

She just glanced at it briefly, still eating fried watermelon seeds.

The skins of the melon seeds flew around, and some spat on the face of the little gray hairy ball.

It squeaked and complained, "There are so many idiots in human beings! There is no meaty shell, but they lick it with relish. Squeak——"

It bared its teeth and sneered.

Wushuang didn't know what it was squeaking, so she ignored it, but squinted her eyes and focused on the horse.

There's a kid who's been furtively watching the horses this afternoon.

If no one came to steal the horse at night, she would swallow the melon seeds!
Wushuang ate her third handful of watermelon seeds, and when the crescent moon rose to the height of the roof, two figures, one tall and one short, sneaked into the stable.

They went to the furthest horse and quietly unbridled it, and then the second.

In this way, the ropes of six horses were untied in a row.

The two men, one in front and one behind, led all six horses away.

The little gray curly ball found it, and it immediately arched its back.

A dangerous signal came from his throat, and his two eyes were like wolf eyes, staring fiercely at the two horse thieves.

"Stupid human girl, if those horses are gone, you will die!" It groaned and wanted to jump out of the window.

Wushuang quickly pulled it back.

Covering its mouth, "Don't make noise!"

She turned her head to look at the bed, and Mrs. Tian was in a deep sleep.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the gray hairy ball, but in front of the master Wushuang, the resistance was ineffective.

"Hush, tell me!" Wushuang pressed it firmly to the ground, and whispered, "Let's follow up together and see what's going on!"

"What's going on? Stealing the horse! You idiot!" the little gray curly ball scolded.

But Wushuang covered its mouth, so it couldn't make a loud noise.

"Okay, let's discuss it like this." Wushuang picked it up and jumped out of the window.

Her kung fu was excellent, and the place where she landed was loose soil, so there was no sound at all.

The little gray fur ball fit well and didn't make a sound.

One man and one beast followed the two horse thieves and left the inn.

After walking two miles, two horse thieves walked into a forest.

Finally, they stopped in front of a cave.

Wushuang pinched the ear of the little gray furball, and whispered, "Watch it, I'll report it!"

The little gray hairy curly ball bared its teeth, "Why didn't you keep watch, I went back to report the letter?"

Wushuang didn't understand, but when it understood what she meant and agreed, she reached out and patted its little head, and ran back quietly.

The little gray furry ball hummed and walked into the cave.

In the cave, the middle-aged man was discussing with the boy how to exchange horses for money.
