Chapter 82, Jiang Hu's thoughts
The warm sun, like soft goose down, fell on Qiu Luoluo's peachy cheeks, and she felt the itch and reached out to scratch it. At this time, a weak shadow slowly obscured the sunlight.
"Miss, it's not too early, it's time to get up, the Longxiang is leaving. ”
Xiao Yanque was dressed neatly, wearing a light cyan tulle long skirt, specially prepared a light gauze hat for the scorching sun, held it on her left hand, and her right hand tried to put it on Qiu Luoluolu's arm outside the silk quilt, and gently shook her. Seeing Qiu Luoluo's silent mouth move a few times, Xiao Yanque couldn't bear to scream again, so she had to hesitate in front of the bed, her little hand tightly clutching the corner of her skirt.
The two were originally going to Stone Town, but they gave up taking the water route and took the land route, because Qiu Luoluo was a landlubber, walking by water, easy to get seasick, and it happened that the Longxiang convoy passed through the mountains and forests, and also went to Stone Town to hand over a batch of goods.
The two groups, one in total, walked together for several days, and last night stayed in a small town called Jiushui, a compound of the Longxiang, where the caravan rested.
Jiang Hu specially ordered someone to prepare an upper room for Qiu Luoluo's master and servant.
This way, it is no better than Xiaoxian to reach the peak, tired of traveling, and tired of beauties.
Fortunately, he was taken care of by Jiang Hu, which can be described as extremely courteous.
Since Qiu Luoluo broke the siege of Longxiang in the first battle, others saw his daughter's body, and Xiao Yanque found that Jiang Hu has become warm-hearted, eating, sleeping, delivering water, serving tea, all for Qiu Luoluo. The whole team didn't care, they always surrounded Qiu Luoluo's side, Xiao Yanque knew that he was duplicitous, and said that he would repay his kindness, but he actually loved Qiu Luoluo's prosperous beauty, and he had thoughts in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Miss Qiu, a stone head, is not open-minded, can't see the tail of the fox, and puts on a heroic look of a chivalrous man, talking and laughing with each other, chatting with each other, and even calling him a brother.
Jiang Hu was arrogant, not only generously gave Qiu Luoluo the jade pendant, but in the next few days, in order to please Qiu Luoluo, he kept sending out gold and jade antiques, which were countless.
Because Xiao Yanque hasn't counted, there are two hundred things, maybe the two carriages can't pull away.
Jiang Hu's flattery had to make Xiao Yanque look down at him, she hoped that Jiang Hu would stay away from Qiu Luoluo, she was angry, and there was nothing to do, sometimes, it was Qiu Luoluo who came up by himself.
For this reason, Xiao Yanque has to watch out for the spicy gaze of these stinky men every day.
Up and down the Long Xiang, as long as it is a man, all of them have the virtue of stealing rats, a pair of eyes, eager to see Qiu Luoluo, inside and out, as long as Qiu Luoluo looks at someone, that person is immediately like a flower blooming in September, regardless of the acne marks, wrinkles, or stubble on the face.
Men are so terrible that they can destroy everything good with words, breath, eyes, and without mercy.
lest the smug Miss Qiu be careless, so that the thieves see what they shouldn't see, Xiao Yanque is panicked all day long, doesn't think about tea and dinner, and has to open one eye and close one eye when she sleeps at night.
An hour is too important for a caravan with a mission.
Jiang Hu was like a mirror in his heart, if he didn't send the escorted items to the exact location within the specified time, Long Xiang would not only have to bear a huge amount of compensation, but also the credibility that he had accumulated by relying on countless financial resources for so many years.
In business, reputation is the most important thing, saying a word, is a nail, that is not spitting, speaking, you have to count.
Among the 10,000 antiques, there is one thing that is so precious, and that is a black box.
He didn't know who the employer was, and when he found him, he was masked, and after nightfall, after three watches, he dodged the layers of guards, and arrived at his bed, holding a knife in his left hand, and then put it on Jiang Hu's neck. The other party woke up the rivers and lakes, handed him the black box, and only said that this thing would be sent to Dongqiu and to an inn, and he gave 10,000 taels of gold in advance, and after arriving at the location, there were 50,000 taels of gold.
It's gold, not silver, even if it's the Long Xiang of the rich side, he has to be moved, Jiang Hu at that time, he had to agree, and if he didn't agree, he had to agree, so there was still a way out?
agreed, there are still 60,000 taels of gold to take, if you don't agree, you will lose your life immediately.
Jiang Hu is not a stupid person, a money-making business is sent to his arms, why wouldn't he want it? And he has his own abacus. In the Jiang family, although Jiang Hu is the third, his status has always been very low, and he has three elder brothers, presiding over the overall situation of the business. He is the only one, sleeping in the open every day, shuttling between major cities, carrying out the hard work of trade and transportation, eating soil ashes, eating sallow face, and so far he can't find an amazingly beautiful mother-in-law. After a long time, it is inevitable to have resentment, this business of transporting goods, done well, helping others to make wedding dresses, has few benefits, and the family status is still dispensable. If you don't do it well, you will be the first to take the blame and make amends to the family.
And on the transport road, it is common to encounter robbers, he has scars on his left hand and left leg, and he is in danger several times, and I don't know when his life will be lost to the hands of that nobody.
After getting 60,000 taels of gold, from then on, Jiang Hu could straighten his waist and shout to the two people above.
He agreed, and received 10,000 taels of gold. Unexpectedly, the other party, plus conditions.
If the contents of this box are lost, or not delivered to the designated location within the specified time, not only will the other party be compensated for 100,000 taels of gold, but Jiang Hu will have a pair of legs.
Jiang Hu relied on his experience in walking the rivers and lakes, his martial arts, the strong backing of the Long Xiang, and the hundreds of people around him, so he didn't think so and laughed at it.
The black wooden box was hidden by him in a cargo, and only he knew where it was, and he was the only one who knew about it, and the whole caravan.
Jiang Hu looked up and caught a glimpse of the sun moving towards noon, and he couldn't help but be anxious, his brows tightened, and he kept pacing at the door with his hands behind his back.
"Four masters. "It's still that capable young man, running over, covering the scorching sun with his hands, the sweatshirt on his body is loose, and there are two black sweats on his neck, "An hour has passed, and I haven't seen those two girls get up, do you want to scream in the past?"
Jiang Hu was in a hurry, stopped, and asked, "Isn't it a gentleman to do this?"
"It's important to hurry, the four masters, if it's late, I'm afraid I'm going to have to walk for a while. The young man said, "The road ahead, you will enter the big worm ridge, there are not only big insects eating people, but also groups of bandits, marching at night, I am afraid that something will be wrong." I heard that many caravans have been looted recently, not only have the goods been robbed, but there are no people left, and the corpses are hanging from the trees one by one, like hanging ghosts, which is terrible. ”
Jiang Hu closed his mouth, clenched his teeth tightly, and said ruthlessly: "You tell them, bring weapons, you'd better check it, I'll call Miss Luoluo." ”
"Four, you can hurry. ”
Qiu Luoluo had a dream before, the same bamboo forest, the same mist, the same horse, the same young man in white, this time, the young man in white walked into her, she could even see his appearance vaguely, at this moment, a knock on the door, interrupted her dream, so that she and the young man, alive tear apart.
When Qiu Luoluo woke up, he looked unhappy, and when he saw Xiao Yanque for the first time, he thought it was a movement made by her, but he didn't say anything, but suddenly heard a knock on the door and Jiang Hu's voice coming in together, and couldn't help but turn pale.
"Miss Luoluo, Miss Yanque, have you two rested, we should be on our way. ”
Xiao Yanque turned around and walked towards the door, muttering angrily: "What are you panicking about, our young lady, I just woke up, I need to be quiet, this is a habit for many years." ”
"Yo! Miss Yanyan woke up, I thought you were still dreaming. Jiang Hu stuck to the door, and peeked inside along the gap between the two doors, the crack in the door was tight enough, and he couldn't see anything, his eyes were gray, and he said in a slightly regretful tone, "Dare to ask Miss Xiaoyanque, how long will Miss Luoluo be calm?"
"Why don't you have an hour!" Xiao Yanque said assertedly, "If you are in a hurry, you can go first, originally we were on the same road, there is no relationship, sooner or later we will be separated." ”
Qiu Luoluo didn't think much about it, she put on a white gauze skirt, got out of bed, stretched her little feet out of her boots, lifted her heels, and shouted loudly: "Jiang Hu is in charge, we will be here soon, wait a while." ”
As soon as he heard Qiu Luoluo's voice, he didn't know why, Jiang Hu felt that he wanted to laugh, and he laughed stupidly, he said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, don't worry, hurry, Miss Luoluo, although you rest, thanks to the girl's protection all the way, we should wait here again, we should be." ”
Qiu Luoluo rolled his eyes at the door and smirked: "Don't say that, I saved you once, but I am a little ashamed to receive so many favors from you." ”
Jiang Hu said, "This favor is still less, less, in my hands, those objects are all vulgar things, and the girl, do not match, do not match." ”
