"Yes! One hundred taels!"
There was even a hint of pride in Qiu Xiaofu's eyes.
You bunch of thieves, you never thought that I could get a hundred taels of silver for you.
The richest man?
Xia Xiaoxian was stunned. The son of the richest man is only worth one hundred taels?
No way!
Qiu, Xiao, Fu?
Does this name sound familiar?
Xia Xiaoxian closed her eyes and quickly flipped through the "Three Lives Book".
Qiu Xiaofu, one of the three guards of Yanjing, was granted the title of Duke of Qi and was awarded an iron certificate, which was hereditary to his descendants. He was the youngest top noble in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Hahaha, are you sure your father is the richest man?"
Liu Laowu was actually amused by Qiu Xiaofu, "Kid, do you know how much silver we can get if we sell you?"
"have no idea."
Qiu Xiaofu felt a little frustrated. It seemed that one hundred taels of silver could not impress this group of thieves.
No, these shouldn't be thieves.
"Young Master, you are worth much more to us than to your father. A boy can be sold for two hundred taels of silver."
Chunniang teased Qiu Xiaofu, "You look like you've never seen silver before. You must be your father's illegitimate son."
"How do you know?"
Qiu Xiaofu sat down dejectedly. Even people knew that he was born out of wedlock, so it seemed that he could not escape the fate of being sold.
"Hahaha, he really is a bastard's son."
Chunniang laughed non-stop, "No wonder I never see you wearing silk and satin."
"Yes, when I held these two boys, they were dressed very casually. I didn't expect they were from a wealthy family."
Liu Laowu said with a smile: "The three of you should just follow me to the mountain temple obediently. In two days I will send you to enjoy all the glory and wealth."
Alas, Xia Xiaoxian sighed in her heart.
Not only is he the landlord's stupid son, he is also the cheapest stupid son in the landlord's family.
He doesn't even think about it.
Liu Laowu and Chunniang, with several children in the carriage, were able to leave the city gate smoothly without encountering any inspection. It can be seen that there must be an insider in Haozhou City.
Moreover, the official position of the traitor would probably not be too low.
Now it is extremely easy for Xia Xiaoxian to escape.
But she was thinking about saving the dozens of children in the mountain temple, and also about digging out the maggots in Haozhou City for her mother.
Her mother hated these scum who kidnapped children the most.
Just thinking of her mother, Xia Xiaoxian's eyes quickly turned red.
My mother must be very anxious at this moment. I have to find a way to leave a message for her to prove that I am safe.
You can have fun, but you can't make your mother too anxious and angry. And my second uncle must be feeling extremely guilty right now.
"Strange, why is it getting more fragrant?" Chunniang muttered, and lifted the carriage curtain to look out. "How can there be such orchids in the deep mountains and old forests?"
"Yeah, it does have some fragrance."
This time even Liu Laowu smelled it, "When you have time, go look for it in this old forest. Maybe you can find some rare flowers and herbs and sell them to the prince for more money."
The two men did not avoid the children when they talked. The younger one was only a little over one year old, and the older one was only seven or eight years old. How could they run away?
"I've traveled this route so many times, but I've never encountered any exotic flowers or plants," the driver, also smelling the fragrance, said, flatteringly. "It must be a good omen for your two employers to encounter such a thing!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes."
"Brother, may I borrow your good words"
Liu Laowu and Chunniang felt better after hearing the nice words, and they actually lifted the curtain and sat on the edge of the carriage.
The two looked around.
Maybe we can really discover something strange.
Inside the carriage, the three children looked more relaxed when they saw the two people walk out.
"But I am the legitimate son." The boy next to him who had been silent said softly.
Xia Xiaoxian looked over curiously and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhu Aneng, you can call me Nengneng."
Xia Xiaoxian was delighted, what a wealth!
Zhu Aneng, one of the three guards of Yanshan, was granted the title of Duke of Chen, and his title was inherited by his descendants. He was the second youngest top noble in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Zhu Aneng was one year older than Qiu Xiaofu, so he became the second.
During a trip to Haozhou City, the mother took in Zhang Yu, one of the three guards of Yanshan, and Xia Xiaoxian unexpectedly got to know the other two.
Must get it!
But why were these two heroes so cowardly when they were young?
Xia Xiaoxian began to doubt the accuracy of "The Book of Three Lives".
"The three of us, don't speak. Let's wait until we get to the mountain temple and see." Zhu Aneng said softly, "There's no point in talking too much now."
ah?
this?
Only then did Xia Xiaoxian look at Zhu Aneng seriously.
Zhu Aneng has a dark face and large facial features. Although he does not have the handsomeness of Qiu Xiaofu, it can be seen that he will be handsome in the future.
Moreover, he is only seven or eight years old now, but there is an extraordinary calmness and composure in his eyes.
Could it be that the crying and cowardice just now were all deliberately pretended?
"Huh? Then...will they kill me?"
Xia Xiaoxian pretended to be scared, blinking her big eyes, drooping her little mouth, and looking like she was about to cry.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu... Please don't kill Xiaoxian."
"Xiaoxian misses daddy and mommy so much. Please let me go back soon. Daddy and mommy will give you money."
Mother really wants to, but as for father, forget it.
Xia Xiaoxian cried very sadly.
"Little Fairy Sister, don't cry."
"Don't be afraid, little sister."
Xia Xiaoxian was crying, but she seemed afraid of being thrown off the carriage, so she deliberately lowered her voice and cried. She was really pitiful.
The two boys whispered soothing words at the same time.
Humph! Just pretending to be weak, who can't do that?
When Liu Laowu and Chunniang heard that the three kids had stopped crying, they didn't bother to pay attention to them. After all, they were just a few little kids. What kind of trouble could they cause?
"Uh...uh...uh."
Xia Xiaoxian tried too hard to act weak, and she was really hungry.
He actually started to burp.
Liu Laowu and Chunniang both looked disgusted!
If you burp, you burp. Why is it so loud?
At this time, the carriage was getting more and more bumpy, probably because it had turned into a mountain path. Outside the carriage, flocks of birds were singing, cicadas were chirping, and occasionally there was the "cooing" of a large bird.
The air became more and more humid, and my skin felt much cooler.
The carriage finally stopped. Liu Laowu and the driver got off the carriage and walked to the side muttering, apparently to pay the fare.
Chunniang opened the carriage curtain, put the horse stool in place, and shouted to the three of them, "We're here, get off quickly."
Qiu Xiaofu got off the carriage first, then turned around and took Xia Xiaoxian's hand. Zhu Aneng looked around timidly before getting off the carriage.
Xia Xiaoxian also looked around. This was a small valley, and the dilapidated mountain temple was built in the valley.
In such a dilapidated temple, even the mountain gods are reluctant to come and visit, and it seems that there are few people around.
However, it is indeed difficult to find children hiding here.
Chunniang brought Xia Xiaoxian and the other two children to the temple, where the entrance was guarded by two strong and burly men.
After entering the temple, Xia Xiaoxian was almost killed by the stench.
