Chapter 597: Someone Stumbles
Ming Zhongxin stood up and walked out of the tent.
Zhao Mingxing followed.
But I saw Wang Shouren's big tent in front of the big tent, Wu Qi was gray-faced, with an old man under his ribs, flying down from his horse and going straight to the big tent.
Ming Zhongxin frowned and sighed, "Hey, it's rude!" ”
"Teach Xi, what's going on?" Zhao Mingxing looked at Ming Zhongxin suspiciously.
Ming Zhongxin raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "There's a good show!" ”
Fun? Zhao Mingxing looked at Ming Zhongxin with some puzzlement, hoping to get some answers.
However, Ming Zhongxin smiled mysteriously, did not answer, and started to walk towards the Qincha tent.
Zhao Mingxing followed him closely, and the students outside the tent were about to follow, but when they saw Zhao Mingxing making a look, they stopped, and watched the two leave.
At this moment, from behind the students, a head appeared and sneaked a glance at Ming Zhongxin's back.
Ming Zhongxin turned around instantly, and the head quickly hid.
And Ming Zhongxin, who turned back, looked at everyone, found nothing, and turned around to continue.
Zhao Mingxing, who was on the side, looked at Ming Zhongxin with a nervous expression, and then looked at the students, and when he saw Ming Zhongxin turn around, he secretly sighed.
"What? Can I help you? Ming Zhongxin's voice sounded.
"Ahh Zhao Mingxing's face tightened, and then he regained his composure, looking unaware, "It's nothing!" ”
Wacky and quirky! Ming Zhongxin looked at Zhao Mingxing, who was pretending to be calm, obviously, this kid has something, and now he wants to go to see the excitement, so let you go first, and I'll talk about it later!
Ming Zhongxin stepped into the big tent.
But I saw Wang Shouren sitting behind the table with a sinking face, looking at the shrunken old man in front of him.
"Returning to your lordship, bring your feet!" Wu got up and bowed down to report to Wang Shouren.
"Villain-------- villain ----------- have seen ------------ adult!" The old man crawled on the ground, trembling and replied.
Wang Shouren ignored the old man, looked at Wu Qi, and said in a deep voice, "How did you invite this old man?" ”
Wu Qi was startled, looked up at Wang Shouren, glanced at the old man, and said with a smile, "Of course I went to the guild to invite him, this old man has been traveling for decades, and he is very familiar with the roads in the north and south of the river, which is just right!" ”
"Smack!" The sound of startling wood sounded, and everyone was startled and looked at Wang Shouren one after another.
And Wu Qi was even more startled, but the old man was crying, "Adults forgive sins, adults forgive sins, villains are willing, villains are willing!" ”
Zhao Mingxing was surprised for a while, and looked at the old man, but saw that the old man was so frightened that he couldn't stop swallowing!
Surprised, he looked up at Wu Qi.
Wu Qi's face was red and white, and he glanced at the old man fiercely and looked at Wang Shouren.
At this time, Wang Shouren got up from the table, turned around, and came to the old man.
"Old man, please get up quickly, please get up quickly1" Wang Shouren bent down and held the old man.
"Little old man doesn't dare, little old man doesn't dare!" The old man stubbornly stumbled.
"Old man, this officer hereby apologizes to you, this general is a rough man, please don't be surprised! If there is anything he did wrong, I hope you have a lot of Haihan! Wang Shouren said with a pleasant face.
"Little old man doesn't dare!" The old man was obviously frightened, he just kowtowed, and he couldn't say anything except these five words!
Wang Shouren turned his head and glared at Wu Qi viciously, obviously, this old man was frightened by him, and he didn't know what intimidation methods Wu Qi used!
Wu Qi hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Old man, my lord asked you to get up, you can get up!" ”
When the old man saw Wu Qi coming, he jumped up in fright and hid behind Wang Shouren.
Obviously, in his eyes, Wu Qi is even more terrifying than this adult!
Wu Qi touched his nose and sneered at Wang Shouren, "My lord, this old man may not have ridden a horse, so he is scared!" ”
"Really?" Wang Shouren snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the old man, and explained, "Old man, we invite you to come this time to ask you to show us a shortcut to Yunnan. ”
"Little old man knows! Little old man knows! The old man looked at Wu Qi and still shrank and said.
"I wonder if you can take us there? If you are not convenient, you can mark it, and we will go by ourselves! Wang Shouren's face was full of air.
The old man also saw at this time that this adult was obviously older than that Wu Qiguan, and he was more amiable, and slowly settled down and looked at Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren looked at the old man expectantly.
The old man looked at Wang Shouren sincerely and said, "Don't hide it, there is a shortcut to Yunnan, but if you want to mark, I'm afraid it's difficult, after all, this way is far away, there are many trails, it can't be marked at all, someone can only take it forward, otherwise you will get lost if you are not careful, and then you will make a mistake!" ”
"Then you can take us there!" Wu Qi interjected.
When the old man heard this, he was startled and looked at Wu Qi in horror.
"Hmm!" Wang Shouren snorted heavily.
Wu Qi was startled, and his face was full of smiles, "Of course, the old man's mind is also very important!" ”
Unexpectedly, Wu Qi, who was smiling all over his face, was even more terrifying, and when the old man saw it, he stumbled and almost fell backwards.
Wang Shouren hurriedly held on, turned his head and said to Wu Qi, "General Wu, you better go down!" ”
Wu Qi looked at the frightened old man, shook his head helplessly, and after saluting Wang Shouren, he turned around and walked out.
"Sit, old man! Let's sit down and talk! Wang Shouren smiled at the old man.
The old man rushed out of the account to take a look, and when he saw that Wu Qi had indeed gone out, he took a deep breath and slowly sat down on the bunk on the side.
Ming Zhongxin went to the side, poured a glass of water for it, and put it in front of the old man, "Old man, drink a glass of water and settle down!" Suppress the shock! ”
Wang Shouren glanced at Ming Zhongxin, this Master Ming, this is obviously said to himself! Still, it's a bit of a look.
Wang Shouren didn't look at Ming Zhongxin either, sat in the bunk next to him, and smiled at the old man.
"Old man! This official is going to Yunnan this time to have an urgent matter, and he must hurry up, otherwise, one day later, his family will suffer one more day, and you don't want this official to be disappointed, right? ”
"My lord, the little old man is willing to mark it clearly for the adult, and explain it to you in detail." The old man said, his face was embarrassed, "However, in recent years, the little old man's body has become weaker and weaker, and he can't support going to Yunnan at all. Besides, you have to rush there as soon as possible, the little old man's body can't support it at all! ”
"Oh! That's a problem! Wang Shouren looked the old man up and down, but saw that he was skinny, and his body was indeed a little weak! With a disappointed face, he said, "Okay, this official is not reluctant, and he will send someone to learn from you the shortcut first, but this official still hopes that the old man will recommend a young and strong man for us, money is not a problem!" ”
The old man's eyes flickered, and when he heard the words that money is not a problem, his eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed, "Don't hide it from adults, young people, I don't have any experience, and I am not familiar with the path, and the older ones are thin and weak, and they can't support it at all, it's difficult!" ”
All this, Ming Zhongxin saw it in his eyes, stared at Wang Shouren, and saw what he did?
When Wang Shouren heard this, his face showed disappointment, "Okay, the old man will go down first and draw a path for us!" After you have drawn the path and taught me to make corrections, the official will send someone to send you back! ”
"General Wu, take the old man down, prepare pen and ink, and draw the path!" As he spoke, Wang Shouren shouted outside the tent.
"Your Excellency!" The old man shouted.
"Oh, old man, please tell me something!" Wang Shouren looked back at the old man and asked.
The old man's face showed embarrassment, "My lord, the little old man can't write and draw!" ”
"Ahh Wang Shouren was stupid, looking at the old man, embarrassed for a while, he forgot that not every ordinary person can write and draw, after all, all the people who walk are vulgar people, if they can read and write, they will not be the people who walk the feet!
The old man can't write and draw, so he can't mark the path, and people can't go, let alone lead the way, what a dilemma! What can I do?
"Your Excellency!" Wu Qi came in, looked at Wang Shouren, and shouted softly.
"Alas, let this official think about it first!" Wang Shouren waved his hand.
Wu Qi stood aside helplessly.
Mingzhong was amused in his confidence, after all, he was a scholar and had never dealt with things, so he was numb for a while! That's it, for the sake of you helping our Ming family, I'll help you!
"My lord, I have some ideas, I don't know if I should talk about them or not?" Ming Zhongxin hugged his fist at Wang Shouren.
"That's right!" Wang Shouren's eyes lit up, why didn't he know how to use it if there was such a person with such means in front of him? His eyes were shining, and he said hurriedly, "Okay, Master Ming, come quickly!" ”
"Actually, we can find someone who is familiar with the art of terrain, let the old man dictate, draw the path, and then let the old man correct it, and then make a map!" Ming Zhongxin explained.
"That's right!" Wang Shouren slapped his thigh, he was really a little confused, how could he not think of such a simple method? However, on second thought, no, our team is full of people, and it is difficult to find someone who can draw, how can we find another person who is familiar with the art of terrain?
"Master Ming! Your idea is good, if this is in the Beijing Division, it is not difficult to find such a person, but now that it is far away from the Beijing Division, there is no such person in our team! Wang Shouren smiled bitterly.
"Your Excellency is wrong, we have such one!" Ming Zhongxin said confidently.
"Is there one?" Wang Shouren was puzzled for a while.
"That's right! We have it! Wu Qi's eyes lit up and exclaimed.
"Yes, General Wu is right. This one is far away, close at hand! Ming Zhongxin smiled confidently.
Wang Shouren was still puzzled.
"My lord, isn't that you?" Wu Qi sneered.
"Me?" Wang Shouren was stunned.
Ming Zhongxin was beside him, but he looked at Wu Qi with a smile and a smile. Does this person really know how to relate?
"I can't!" Wang Shouren came back to his senses and frowned.
Yes! Wu Qi was stupid, looking at Ming Zhongxin, his eyes were full of blame, you kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, and pat yourself on the horse's feet.
Ming Zhongxin guessed his thoughts, and shook his head in his heart, you want to be a sycophant, and besides, you don't know what I'm going to say, just pick up the stubble, can you blame me?
Ming Zhongxin had no intention of sharing with him, and said to Wang Shouren, "My lord, Ming thinks that he also knows some topographical techniques and has learned some painting skills, so I recommend myself to draw a path to Yunnan for adults!" ”
Oh, I see! At this moment, Wang Shouren and Wu Qi understood, it turned out that this person was talking about himself! Harm yourself and others to misunderstand!
Wang Shouren is eyes are full of surprise, but Wu Qi is full of complaints, this master, it's true, he is panting when he speaks, can't you finish a sentence?
"Are you okay?" Wu Qi asked suspiciously.
When Zhao Mingxing next to him heard this, his face was full of anger, can't we teach and practice, can you?
In his heart, Ming Jiao Xi is familiar with astronomy and geography, this General Wu is suspicious of teaching, he really doesn't know what to say!
"We'll find out when the time comes!" Ming Zhongxin smiled disapprerovingly.
"Okay, then please Master Ming!" Wang Shouren Chongming Zhongxin arched his hand.
"Your Excellency is gracious! Ming went down to prepare! Ming Zhongxin arched his hand.
"Good! It's hard work! Wang Shouren nodded.
"Mingxing, help this old man!" Ming Zhongxin commanded.
Zhao Mingxing picked up the old man and went away with Ming Zhongxin's big tent.
"My lord, do you think that Ming Zhongxin can do it?" Wu Qi looked at Ming Zhongxin's back and asked.
"What do you think?" Wang Shouren didn't have a good airway.
"I don't know!" Wu Qi heard Wang Shouren's dissatisfaction with him in his tone, and sneered.
"This official doesn't need to be suspicious, and there is no doubt about employing people, but, General Wu, you must not be so reckless in the future!" Wang Shouren looked at Wu Qi and frowned.
"I know your lordship thinks I'm being rude to that act. But, my lord, do you know how difficult these guys are? Wu Qi smiled bitterly and said to Wang Shouren carefully.
But it turned out that after Wu Qi received the order, he went straight to Baoding Mansion.
After entering the Baoding Mansion, after inquiring about the location of the guild, I went directly to the guild, inquired for a long time, and found a few old people to lead the way, but at the beginning, everyone heard that they were going to find someone to lead the way, and the money was sufficient, so they received them with a smile on their faces, but when they heard that they were going to Yunnan, they immediately changed their faces, and they were all looking for reasons, making excuses to delay, and no longer taking his business.
At first, Wu Qi thought that everyone was just a long way away, but after being rejected one after another, he kept an eye on it, secretly followed the guys, and listened to it at the back house of the guild, but it turned out that I don't know who actually ordered that if someone wants to find a foot to lead the way to Yunnan, he must find a reason to refuse.
Listen to them, as if this order had been handed down from the upper echelons of the guild! Obviously, the one who stumbled them was not an idle person.
Wu Qi was extremely angry, and when he wanted to catch the guy and ask what was going on, he didn't think that the guild actually beat the drum of the crowd, and gathered all his feet in the guild, and he was not allowed to go out.
When Wu Qi didn't know where to start, he had to find out that this old man was the best foot in the foot guild, and because of physical reasons, he had never gone to the guild, so in desperation, his heart was cross, and without saying a word, he secretly went to the old man's house and arrested him and ran away.
Along the way, the old man was still shouting at the beginning, but after being repaired by him, he was honest!
That's why the old man was so afraid of him when he came.
When Wang Shouren heard this, he frowned and thought, someone actually didn't let them go to Yunnan with them? Who is this?
