363. I underestimated you (4)
The Wei State's national power was weak, so it could only divide two-thirds of the best white rock tea grown in Qixili Rock Peak in the Chongze Mountains to pay tribute to the Dongling royal family every year in order to seek protection.
Guanggu is the capital of the Wei Kingdom, with Chongze Mountain at its back and the Buckwheat River flowing through it. You can enter Nanzhao Mugu City by boat. The people here are simple and kind by nature and don't like fighting. In addition, the transportation is convenient and fast, so commercial trade
Quite prosperous.
East Ten Miles, Zhao Ji Tea Shop
The lighting in the shop is not very good. There is only a half-sized skylight on the roof. There was originally a window, but unfortunately it was blocked by the firewood piled outside. There are three or four square tables placed, and the table tops are dark and have a layer of reflection.
The grease had obviously not been carefully cleaned for a long time.
Most of the seven or eight tea-goers gathered together in twos and threes, like peddlers and lackeys, taking advantage of the early morning light to grab two bowls of cheap tea and several plates of beef to reserve their energy for work. There was only one middle-aged man with a hunchback sitting alone with his back to the door.
On the back table, except for a copper teapot and a gapped porcelain cup, nothing else was ordered. It was strange that the tea shop owner did not say anything. Tea bosses have always been very unkind to individual customers who take up space and do not help.
See you.[
At this time, the tattered wooden door was pushed open from the outside, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant sound of silver bells. Except for the hunchbacked man who remained the same, the other tea guests stopped talking and glanced curiously. It was a man wearing Nanzhao clothes, with bracelets on his hands and feet.
Young woman with silver bell.
When the woman first entered the door, she was facing the light and couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure was slim and graceful, which aroused everyone's imagination. When they got closer, they discovered that there was a shocking scar on the woman's face, which almost ran across the entire side.
The right cheek. The men were obviously frightened. Some of the reverie that had just emerged in their minds were shattered. They all turned their heads in disgust and ignored it.
The woman seemed completely unaware of the gazes around her. She walked straight to the hunchbacked man and sat down. She clasped her fingers on the table and whispered, "Five thousand taels."
The hunchbacked man shrugged his shoulders strangely, and finally put down the tea cup he had been holding in his hand. He slowly turned his head without saying a word. He looked at the woman for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to ask?"
"I want Nanzhao Feiying Pavilion's task list for this month."
The tea cup was accidentally knocked over, and the astringent yellow tea quickly got into the cracked gap on the table. The hunchbacked man hurriedly held it up, and his withered hands were obviously still shaking. He turned back and drank the remaining bit in the cup.
He poured the liquid down, using the act of drinking water to cover up his inner panic.
"Feiying Pavilion, I've never heard of it."
The woman raised her eyebrows and asked again: "You really don't know? Five thousand taels of silver buys you the news. It won't hurt you at all. If you really don't know, it's in vain that the Jianghu people gave you the title of 'Shunfeng Er'"
Already."
"I don't know! I'm just a tea guest, what's the word "Shun Feng Er"? Girl, you've found the wrong person!"
"very good."
There was only a lingering sound left, and the woman disappeared without a trace.
The hunchbacked man sighed softly, and fearfully took out a dirty handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Someone actually wanted to inquire about the movements of those poisonous bitches. They were really not afraid of death. But he was frightened to death with his "Shunfeng Ear"
