Chapter 546 Goodbye Life
Song Cai's heart was filled with excitement and mixed feelings when he heard Song Cai's order. He hurried out to greet him. Outside the door, Song Cai was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. He also held a sheathed long sword in his hand. He didn't look like a merchant shopkeeper at all.
He only wears the attire of a warrior who travels around the world.
Song Cai stared intently, excited and with red eyes, "My boss."
"It's really you," he grabbed Song Cai's arm and turned around, "Let's go in and talk."
Realizing that Song Cai was trembling, he felt nervous, "Why are you here? But something happened to the Ni family?"
After saying that, he regretted it. He was devastated by a series of bad news, and the news was trembling. Nothing happened to the Ni family, because when the Ni family left the Western Regions, he had given the black master to Ni Chenyi, but when he arrived in the Western Regions, the black master
He ran back, and after he disappeared, Young Master Hei also disappeared. Now that Song Cai is riding Young Master Hei back, it means that Young Master Hei went to the Western Regions after he disappeared.
Hei Gongzi is his mount. If he suddenly appears in the Western Regions, the Ni family will definitely be suspicious. Song Cai's arrival this time is undoubtedly sent by the Ni family to return to Chang'an to determine what happened to him.
"Thanks to Hong Fu, my boss, everything is well with my old boss and the eldest lady," Song Cai said with a trembling voice, "My boss, what's wrong with you? Where have you been during this time?"
Just as he was about to say something, Young Master Hei suddenly ran over and rubbed his head against him. It was said that he was rubbing his head, but it was actually a bump, because the rubbing would not be so hard. In addition to expressing his closeness, Young Master Hei must have also complained a little bit. You must know that Mr. Hei's
The mind is far beyond that of ordinary horses, equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child. Its owner has been missing for three months. You can imagine the anxiety in its heart. Moreover, it does not know whether the owner had an accident or abandoned it cruelly.
While caressing and comforting Young Master Hei, he said, "I encountered Japanese pirates in Silla. A bloody battle broke out and I almost died."
After hearing the words, Song Cai was not in a hurry to ask for details, because it was still raining and he did not hold an umbrella.
He brought Song Cai to his residence. When Song Cai took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, he took the tea and snacks from the corridor back to the house.
inside, and then asked Song Cai to sit down and tried to pour him tea.
It was a thousand-year-old prince, so Song Cai naturally didn't dare to let him pour tea for him, so he quickly grabbed the teapot and served first.
Seeing Mr. Hei banging his head against the door from outside, he had no choice but to walk over and open the door. Mr. Hei didn't want to enter the room, but was restless because he couldn't see him. After a few words of comfort, he came back to talk to Song.
Cai spoke and left the door open, leaving Mr. Hei outside.
"Do they think something happened to me?" He sat down and spoke.
Song Cai nodded, "My old employer and the eldest lady are very concerned about you. After seeing your mount, I couldn't sleep or eat well. The eldest lady wanted to come back in person, but my old employer was worried about her traveling alone, so he entrusted me to come back."
.”
"It's a long journey, thank you for your hard work. I shouldn't have given you a false alarm." I'm so sorry.
"It's not hard, it's not hard," Song Cai shook his head, "We feel relieved knowing that our boss is safe and sound, and I can finally go back to do business."
Hearing Song Cai's words, he frowned slightly, "How long have you been in Chang'an?"
"It's been more than a month," Song Cai's hand holding the tea cup has been shaking. "I was completely stunned when I heard the rumor of bad news. The rumors in the market are unbelievable, but the notices from the court are always untrue, but such shocking news,
How can I tell my old boss and the eldest lady?"
Seeing that Song Cai was too excited and kept trembling in his voice, he said, "Don't be anxious, have a sip of tea first."
Song Cai lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and his mood gradually stabilized, "I was suffering from not knowing how to explain it to my old boss and the eldest lady, and although the court issued a memorial notice, no coffin was carried out for the funeral, so I harbored illusions and stayed temporarily.
Chang'an, there are several private houses with small courtyards in the city. During this period of time, I lived in a simple way, made inquiries in many places, prayed and prayed, but I never thought that my boss, auspicious people and heavenly gods, would really come back alive and safe."
After Song Cai finished speaking, he sighed, and then told Song Cai his experience in Silla in a concise and concise manner.
After listening to the story, Song Cai broke into a cold sweat again. Although he had already guessed that he had encountered a big change based on his thin body, he did not expect that this change would be so dangerous.
"Shopkeeper Song, I've worked hard for you during this period. You won't be out for a long time. Everyone in the Ni family must be waiting impatiently," he said, "If you work harder, you will ride Black Young Master and rush back to the Western Region tomorrow to avoid them.
Worried and anxious.”
"That's not possible," Song Cai shook his head and said, "I brought two homing pigeons with me this time. I released one half a month ago. I just know that your whereabouts are unknown and the court is trying its best to find you."
"Half a month ago? The imperial court should have issued a notice to the outside world by then." He said.
Song Cai nodded, "I have no choice but to do it. If something happens to my boss, my old boss and the eldest lady will be devastated. I have to make them mentally prepared."
Hearing this, he nodded. He urged Song Cai to go back because he was afraid that the Ni family would be worried if Song Cai did not return for a long time. Since Song Cai had sent them the news, even if the Ni family were worried, they would not be so anxious.
"Don't worry, my boss, I still have a homing pigeon in my hand," Song Cai said, "I will release the homing pigeon tonight to inform my old boss and the eldest lady that you have returned safely. It is true that the sky has eyes and will not deceive the loyal and righteous, and live up to the good ministers."
.”
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not answer.
Song Cai was so smart. He smiled bitterly when they met. He immediately guessed that he was worried about what happened recently, and immediately spoke proactively, "Thanks to the protection of my boss, the countries in the Western Regions are very courteous to us, and our business is also going very smoothly."
, it can be said that things are going smoothly, and we are making money every day. If our employer needs it, we are willing to vomit blood to repay Datang."
Hearing Song Cai's words, he was very ashamed and ashamed. Ni Zuo was forced to leave by the court that day, and Ni Zuo also left most of his family property when he left.
He said that it was left to him, but in fact it was left to the imperial court. It was just that his hands were used for people's livelihood and military affairs. Now that Datang Mountain is exhausted, how can it be embarrassing to accept gifts from the Ni family?
Seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, Song Cai vaguely guessed what he was thinking, "My boss doesn't need to see anyone outside. My old boss has said more than once that even if we go far away, we will always be the people of the Tang Dynasty. People can leave their hometown, but they can't."
Forgot your roots!”
He sighed and didn't answer.
Song Cai knew he was embarrassed, so he made a roundabout move and said, "If the owner feels it's inappropriate, how about we just treat it as a loan to the imperial court?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." He shook his head with a wry smile.
"If such a day comes, we will be considered loyal," Song Cai said and quickly added, "My old boss and the eldest lady also mean the same thing."
I was already feeling very ashamed, but when I heard Song Cai talk about us again, I felt even more uneasy. I had no connection with Ni Chenyi, so why should I accept favors from the Ni family?
Seeing that he was shaken, Song Cai hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "My boss, although you didn't meet your old boss and the eldest lady last time you went to the Western Regions, they all know what you have done for the Ni family. Without your protection, the Ni family would probably still be there at this time."
It is hard to say whether you will be able to gain a foothold after being blackmailed and bullied by the Maka Mountain bandits, let alone doing business to make profits. You are never an outsider, and you should never regard yourself as an outsider."
"It's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning." He waved his hand and shook his head.
"My boss, you don't know something," Song Cai said, "It's quite easy to make a profit from doing business in the Western Regions. It doesn't count that my old boss started the business first. The 10 million taels you asked us to take away have now increased more than ten times.
.”
Hearing Song Cai's words, he suddenly raised his head, "Seriously?"
"Seriously," Song Cai nodded, "and there have been few wars in the Western Regions in recent years, and rice grains are very abundant. On the other hand, the wars in China have been continuous in recent years, and farming has been neglected. A bucket of rice has increased to 20 cents, and buying a bucket of rice from the Western Regions has
