C1149 Ambush
Of course, it's no big deal. In a conversation with Tang Ju, Tang Ju had also mentioned his background by accident. He was an orphan. When he was very young, the village was infected by the plague. Almost everyone in the village died. It seemed that only he and his sister had escaped from his home.
But later on, his sister seemed to have died as well. After that, he lived on the streets and became a beggar for a few years. His life should be very bitter.
Later on, he seemed to have been adopted by his master. As for the other matters, Tang Ju didn't say anything. Lin Yuhan and Yuen Xuan didn't ask too much either.
It was reasonable for such an experience to be so meticulous in terms of money.
Lin Yuhan and Yuen Xuan naturally would not be calculative with him. Sometimes, they would even intentionally "take care" of Tang Ju. To be honest, when they occasionally saw Tang Ju's calculative look, there was an inexplicable hint of cuteness in the funniest part of it. It was a cuteness that belonged solely to this age. It was a little rushed, a little shy, a little stubborn, and a little stubborn.
Compared to being "stingy," Tang Ju's other unintentional "problem" had nearly angered Yuen Xuan a few times.
Actually, this child did not speak much and his mouth was not broken, but for some reason, he loved to ask about his Uncle-Master, Lin Yuchen, whom he had never met before, and he did not finish his question. It was unknown whether he was really curious about Lin Yuchen, or whether he wanted to indirectly test the relationship between Lin Yuhan and Lin Yuchen, to see if Lin Yuhan was the real murderer of Lin Chenghou.
Originally, Lin Chenghou's death had almost caused Lin Yuhan to collapse. During this period of time, he had heard the news of Lin Fengmo and Lin Yujie's death one after another. Yuen Xuan had thought of ways to avoid all topics related to the Sword Sect, or even words, but this Tang Ju. . . Was the one who took the lead!
Yuen Xuan could not say it out loud either. Every time at this time, she could only give Tang Ju a look.
As for Tang Ju, he would obediently shut his mouth at that time, but once he got the chance, he would still do as he was told.
In the end, Yuen Xuan had no choice but to specially bring him to the side and solemnly tell him about this matter.
This child was also obedient and did not mention it in front of Lin Yuhan ever again. However, if Lin Yuhan left slightly, he would ask Yuen Xuan about Lin Yuchen again. It could be said to be a needle in a haystack!
Yuen Xuan also did not know what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd, or rather, what kind of small scheme she had in her heart.
Perhaps it was because Lin Yuhan and Yuen Xuan had always been very careful and very cautious, the road was calm and peaceful, and just like that, a few days passed. Until dusk.
"We're almost there. " Tang Ju suddenly said.
Yuen Xuan was stunned when she heard this. "What do you mean? It's right here?" Yuen Xuan couldn't help but look around. It was a desolate wilderness. As for where the three of them were, it was simple to say. It was in the western suburbs of Changan City.
"No, no. " Tang Ju hurriedly said, "We're almost there, almost there. It's not far ahead. Calculating the time, it's just right. "
"Not far?" After thinking for a moment, Yuen Xuan looked at Tang Ju again. "That is it. Now you can tell us the specific location. "
"No, no. " Tang Ju shook his head. "Help people to the end. Send Buddha to the west. They give me all the money. How can I send someone to the west? "
Yuen Xuan did not pay attention to him.
"Hey, do you want me to be your bodyguard?" After a while, Tang Ju suddenly said, "I will protect you two. Of course, I will also serve you tea, pour some water, and explore the way. How about that?"
Yuen Xuan did not answer. Or rather, she was a little hesitant and a little hesitant.
"I know that the two of you have high martial arts. " She heard Tang Ju say, "But the ruler has its shortcomings, and every inch has its own strengths. Right? Of course, having more people means having more strength. Say it! You two are now in the martial arts world, right? Of course, I know this is only temporary. . . "
" How much do you want? " Without waiting for Tang Ju to finish, he heard Yuen Xuan say.
"Not much, not much, no, not a lot. " Tang Ju said repeatedly, unable to hide his excitement, "Ten taels of silver a day. Of course, it's mainly because your situation is a little troublesome. Of course, if you think it's too much, we can discuss the price. "
Speaking of which, this price was indeed out of Yuen Xuan's expectations. However, it was not because it was too much, but because it was too little.
"If it doesn't work, nine taels. " Before Yuen Xuan could speak, she heard Tang Ju say, "Eight taels? Of course, if you don't bring too much money with you, you can pay me in the future. "
"How much is the letter you sent this time?" Yuen Xuan suddenly asked.
"Ah? This?" Tang Ju smiled awkwardly.
"You can't say it. "
"No, no, no, no. " Tang Ju shook his head. "You can say it, you can say it. One hundred taels. Of course, I didn't think of that either. At that time, I was extremely happy. Perhaps that person also considered that it was the two of you. That's why he gave me so much. " As he spoke, his face was filled with joy.
Similarly, this price was also much lower than Yuen Xuan's expectations. After all, Tang Ju was the leader of the Devil Containing Ghost Cave's Five Heavenly Sovereigns. After all, it was him and Lin Yuhan who had come to find him.
"Why don't I give you all some time? Think about it. " Seeing that Yuen Xuan did not give an answer, Tang Ju said, "Wait until you go to that place. We will talk after we meet that person and finish your business. I know that you guys shouldn't be in the mood to talk about other things right now. Of course, I have to remind you. . . It's better to be careful. Of course, I'm just a messenger. Just a messenger. . . "
"There's movement!" Before Tang Ju could finish his words, he heard Yuen Xuan suddenly shout.
There was movement indeed. Lin Yuhan and Tang Ju also heard it. Behind the three of them, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves. From the sound, there were at least more than ten people.
"You really don't have good intentions. " Yuen Xuan said coldly. As she spoke, she looked fiercely at Tang Ju.
"Not necessarily. This. . . Maybe he was just passing by. Right? " Tang Ju quickly said," Of course, I'm just a messenger. I also don't know what happened after I came here. Right? I was just reminding you guys out of kindness. I also reminded you guys before. . . And it was also you guys who were willing to follow me, not me forcing you. . . "Before he finished his words, He turned around and fled in a panic.
Yuen Xuan wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Lin Yuhan. "Be careful, there is a trick. " Lin Yuhan said, "And I think he is most likely just a messenger. Even if we catch him, it will be useless. "
"This little bastard. " Yuen Xuan looked in the direction where Tang Ju had escaped, but she couldn't help but get angry.
"Should I escape or?" She heard Lin Yuhan say again, "There are still many people coming. "
"But not many. " Yuen Xuan took a deep breath and said, "The way we came here was at least safe. We don't know if there are any traps in the four directions. Let's see the situation first. I also want to see who it is that ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard. "
