Chapter 385 Making trouble
Jiang Sanlang and others were discussing how to deal with the enemy, when suddenly a four or five-year-old boy ran in, followed by a wet nurse.
The little boy saw everyone sitting on the big Kang eating and stared at them curiously.
Finally, when he saw Jiang Yuanbao eating eggs, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother, do you still have eggs? Can you give me one?"
Jiang Yuanbao almost choked and shook his head quickly: "No more."
The little boy didn't bother, shook off the nanny's hand, and climbed onto the kang.
Because when he saw Mr. Wu, he was inexplicably friendly and shouted: "Daddy, daddy."
Mr. Wu:······
The wet nurse hugged him and whispered: "Xiao Langjun, then... that's not your father."
The little boy refused, and opened the nanny's hand, climbed onto the kang with all his strength, threw himself into Mr. Wu's arms, put his head on his chest, and began to cry: "Daddy, you come back to see Yuanbao."
Mr. Wu coughed dryly and said to the little boy, "You have recognized the wrong person. I am not your father."
The little boy refused to let go and hugged Mr. Wu tightly: "Dad, don't you want the ingot?"
Mr. Wu was extremely embarrassed, "I'm really not your father."
I am almost seventy years old, but a child mistakenly identifies him as his father. It is really...
Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and Wei Zhan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In the end, the child was taken away by the nanny.
Ying Bao naturally knew what was going on.
Because the child's biological father is Pei Shixian, and the old man's beard is exactly the same as Mr. Wu's. In addition, they are both old men. No wonder Pei Yuanbao can admit his mistake.
Not long after the child was taken away by the wet nurse, Nan Zhu, Xiao Chengjun's personal companion, found Ying Bao.
He saluted everyone and said to Ying Bao: "My husband wants to negotiate a deal with the young lady?"
Yingbao refused: "There is no deal to discuss."
Nanzhu was silent for a moment and said, "Mrs. Jiang, my husband is willing to pay you a hundred taels of silver to treat you."
Jiang Sanlang frowned: "I told you, my daughter doesn't treat people, why come again?"
Nanzhu clasped his fist towards Jiang Sanlang and said, "The situation is really urgent and my officials cannot afford to delay. Please forgive me."
When Ying Bao saw this man's unwillingness to give up, he felt wary.
If they suddenly take action, their side has no chance of winning.
She thought about it again and again, and said: "I am learning forbidden spells now and do not go to the clinic for medical treatment. If you really want to see a doctor, I will boil a bowl of talisman water and you can bring it to your family to drink."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his bag, murmured some words, lit it with a fire stick, put it in a pottery bowl, picked up a teapot, poured some water into it, stirred it a few times with his fingers, and handed the bowl to Nanzhu: "Here, this is a blessing from God. You can bring it to your family officials to drink. Maybe it can save their lives."
The corners of Nanzhu's mouth twitched, but he still took the pottery bowl: "Thank you for winning the prize, little man."
Just as he turned around to leave, Ying Bao said again: "This bowl of talisman water is one hundred taels, please bring the silver."
"Okay." Nan Zhu went back with the pottery bowl and poured water into a bamboo tube.
Xiao Chengjun came over: "What are you doing?"
Nanzhu knew his master's temper and did not dare to tell the truth, "This... this is the potion given by Jiang Yingbao. I will send it to Master Lang." After a pause, he added: "This medicine costs one hundred taels of silver. .”
Xiao Chengjun frowned and said nothing.
The girl didn't agree with him, so he was about to have her kidnapped and taken to his father for medical treatment.
But I was afraid that this move would make the dead girl hold a grudge and deliberately cause harm, which would end up killing my father, so I never dared to take action.
Unexpectedly, Nanzhu bought medicine from her.
Is this medicine too expensive? One hundred taels is enough to buy two century-old ginseng plants.
Nan Zhu stuffed the bamboo tube tightly with a stopper, put it in his arms, and gave Xiao Chengjun a fist: "I will send it to Master Lang right now. Sir, please go back early. Don't delay on the way."
His little master was really mad. The man asked him to go to Qinchuan County to ask for medicine, but he actually ran to pick up the Han family and his daughter. Then he went to Qinchuan County and found that the young lady of the Jiang family had already gone. To Fucheng.
Having no other choice, they rushed to Fucheng again, where they happened to meet the young lady of the Jiang family who had returned.
Originally this was something to be thankful for, but in the end, the Jiang family was offended by his master's tricks.
Fortunately, the young lady of the Jiang family was sensible and took the initiative to give him the potion.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he can only regard it as a useful magic medicine.
Otherwise, according to the young master's wishes, she will be forcibly kidnapped. Not only will both parties suffer, but he will have to bear the wrath of the big man when he returns.
Nan Zhu put the package on his back, got on his horse with two guards, and drove out.
Ying Bao stood at the door of the inn, watching Nan Zhu leave, then returned to the guest room and closed the door.
Then he entered the cave, tidied the fields, and picked some fruits before coming out.
Two days later, the ice and snow outside had melted a lot, and it was now possible to walk on the road.
Jiang Sanlang and his eldest nephew hitched up the carriage and prepared to leave.
Yingbao and the shopkeeper's wife bought a lot of steamed buns, and then went to the market town to buy charcoal and two charcoal stoves, as well as two pots and a kettle.
After that, he bought a few kilograms of cooked meat, had it cut up, and put it on the carriage together with the steamed buns.
Several carriages drove out of the inn courtyard. Through the car window, Ying Bao saw Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun coming out of the inn and looking towards them.
Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and his sister were sitting in a carriage, with their father Jiang Sanlang driving in front.
Mr. Wu and Yuan Bao were sitting in another car, with Jiang Cheng driving the car.
The other two cars contained bedding, food baskets and other items, and the Wei family sent four servants to accompany them.
The other carriages belonged to Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin.
They not only brought thick bedding, pots and pans, food, etc., but also local specialties and goods.
The horse-drawn carriages walked on the official road in great force.
The ice and snow crunched on the road.
At noon, the carriage stopped to rest, and everyone took out dry food and roasted it on the small charcoal stove.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves from behind, and about a dozen men in black attire were driving their horses.
As they passed the carriage, they suddenly pulled out their machetes and struck the horses.
For a time, several horses were struck and fell to the ground exhausted.
Jiang Sanlang reacted quickly, and when he saw them cutting horses, he immediately raised his spear to fight back.
The man in black did not hit the Jiang family's horse, nor did he stop, but urged the horse to rush out.
"Damn it! You must be Xiao Chengjun's people, I recognize you!" Wei Zhan cursed angrily as both of his horses were hit. "Don't run away if you can!"
Wen Hengyin was also furious.
His horse was also chopped down, and his life is estimated to be short-lived.
The men in black had already fled away, and their narrow laughter could still be heard faintly.
Ying Bao was also speechless.
This Xiao Chengjun is really naive.
No, he is just a sand dollar.
Killing horses secretly seems to be narrow-minded, but it is actually vicious.
They wanted to trap them here. After all, there was no village or shop here, and the weather was so cold. Without the horses, the supplies on the carriage could not be taken away.
In addition, there are many young and old in the Jiang family, so it is not safe to walk on the ice and snow road.
Ying Bao narrowed her eyes and immediately said to her father and Wei Zhan: "They left about ten people, and there are two carriages and several people behind them. Let's wait and seize their horses."
Xiao Chengjun's heart has not come over yet. Since that group of people has gone ahead, there is no reason for Chen Tiantian and the others to go another way.
He was waiting here. When he saw their carriage, he caught them by surprise and snatched the horse directly.
This is called treating others in their own way.
