[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

If it was the past, Cui Song would definitely not accept such a forced sale.But now these medicines are just at the right time, they are urgent for him, and they have given him help when he needed it most. No matter what the original intention is, they should be thanked.

What's more, as the other party said, they have no obligation to help themselves.There is nothing wrong with exchanging help for compensation.

So Cui Song was very calm: "How much?"

Xu Zhuo finally realized the meaning of the phrase "Money and Goods" and his face changed slightly.

The gentleman didn't expect Cui Song to be so "on the road" that he didn't even say a single unnecessary word.

He finally turned his eyes to Cui Song, and paused for a while on the embroidery pattern on his sleeve: "One gold."

Xu Zhuo was angry.

"One gold? How much is a few herbs worth a gold?"

A catty of gold is enough to buy a pharmacy.

Although Cui Song didn't know how much a piece of gold was, but judging by Xu Zhuo's attitude, it was definitely not less.

Now that he had seen that these men were robbers at heart, he was not surprised that their lions opened their mouths.

Hearing Xu Zhuo's question, "Sir" didn't take it seriously, and glanced at him lazily: "Why is it worth a gold? Could it be that Your Excellency thinks that your master's dignity——his life is not worth a single gold?" Price?"

Xu Zhuo was speechless.

"Ordinary medicinal herbs that can be picked anywhere are indeed not worth so much money." He said lightly, "But jade is priceless, and it is not in the body. Jingyu is covered with dust, and it is like a shoe. If no one cares about it, even if it is a priceless treasure, It’s just a nicer stone. What’s the difference between the priceless medicinal herbs and the priceless medicinal herbs?”

Xu Zhuo really wanted to say that this was an unreasonable statement, but he was not good at words, so he couldn't find anything to refute, so he could only reprimand:

"This is a low price, and I will repay you with kindness—"

"Extremely." "Sir" admitted this generously, "The starting price is one gold, thanks for your patronage."

Xu Zhuo was about to speak again when Cui Song stopped him.

"He's right, the medicine 'saved' my life, not to mention one gold, ten gold is also given." Cui Song gave the other party a deep look.The latter is the presence of the old god, turning a blind eye to his gaze.

"The two of us are in a hurry and don't have so much money with us. Why don't we write a book here and send it to Luoyang for our family to deliver?"

"Sir" didn't buy it: "Why bother, jade ornaments and good horses, just choose one and keep it."

Cui Song confirmed the guess in his heart.

What "Sir" said before, at first glance, seemed to be running on Xu Zhuo, trying to whitewash his behavior of stealing money, but Cui Song always felt that there was something wrong.

He didn't know whether it was because he had been communicating with ancient celebrities for a long time, had too many contacts, or because he was addicted to reading "Metaphor" in the original owner's notebook last night. He always felt...the other party seemed to be hinting at something.

With preconceived ideas, Cui Song looked around, and he found something abnormal.

The Di people surrounding them were all strong and fierce, with an indescribable ferocity... Cui Song's heart skipped a beat, guessing that these people might not be ordinary robbers, they might have seen blood.

But such a group of people, why don't they just kill people and rob money, but play the trick of buying and selling by force?

Cui Song felt a little unreasonable.

It wasn't until Xu Zhuo retorted angrily that those Di people's eyes were fierce and ready to move; and "Sir" said lightly "with the dignity of your master", which made the Di people stop their movements and suppress their murderous aura——Cui Song reacted come over.

It turned out that the people didn't want to kill, but they didn't dare to kill.

They were afraid that his status was "noble" and he would cause endless trouble if he acted rashly, so they endured it and used the name of "deal" to blackmail him.

Cui Song can think of this, but also rely on the short story of the Three Kingdoms that his grandfather told him——

I heard that Jia Xu was arrested by the Di people who rebelled on the way back to his hometown after resigning from office.The Di people wanted to kill him, but when they heard that he pretended to be the grandson of Taiwei Duan Jiong, they didn't dare to do it again; and when they heard that there was a huge reward, they personally sent him off and escorted him back to his hometown.

It can be seen that these rogue bandits are still very afraid of the powerful gentry at this time, and they will not easily become enemies with them if they are not forced to rush.

To put it bluntly, these people just can't survive and want to extort some money.Even if they are used to killing people, they won't provoke trouble if they can avoid it.

Therefore, as long as he still bears the name of "noble birth", treats the Di people politely, and doesn't want to die, his life will not be in danger for the time being.

What this "sir" said - "a noble life is worth a gold", probably means the same thing.

It is very cost-effective to spend money to eliminate disasters and buy lives with money.

Then the words "Jing Yu is covered with dust, throw it away like shoes", "Priceless treasure, no one cares about it", should be implying that this group of people are desperadoes, ruthless, and will do anything for money, it is best not to provoke them.Otherwise, these precarious people who live with their heads on their hands will not care whether you are from a noble family or not, whether you have a background, or you will die and the net will be broken, and no one will care.

After reading these, the following behaviors are also explained.

He interrupted Xu Zhuo's rebuttal calmly, and refused without hesitation when he proposed to "get someone to send money"... This "Mr.

As early as the beginning of searching for the medicine, Cui Song had already felt the sense of disharmony among these people. "Sir" seems to be greeted by the leader, but in fact he is out of the team and respected by everyone.And he also has no intention of integrating into this group. Together with the Di people, they are like two magnets with the same polarity, very close to each other, but repelling each other all the time.

Involuntarily, Cui Song became a little curious about this "Mr."

As for the kindness of this mysterious gentleman, he will probably live up to it.

"This horse is ferocious and unruly. After all, it has been with me for many years, and it is difficult to let go... And this jade," he took off the warm and beautiful jade around his waist, and held the hanging tassel at the bottom, "How can such rough jade be a token of gratitude?" present?"

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Cui Song knew that these people misunderstood his meaning, thinking that he was stingy and reluctant to part with a good horse and beautiful jade, so he deliberately found reasons to shirk.

He didn't explain, and threw the jade pendant directly to the leader, using actions to defuse their hostility.

"I have an injury on my head and I need to recuperate. I wonder if I can stay with you for a few days?" Cui Song put on the demeanor of an aristocratic family, looked around and bowed, "When the injury improves, my family [1] will come to look for it. Yuan Tan has something else to do. Thanks."

"Yuan Tan..." The leader pondered for a while, "Could it be the son of the Yuan family in Runan?"

Cui Song didn't answer, but there was a bit of self-respect in his expression.

The leader laughed loudly, and took the jade pendant of excellent texture and fineness into his arms: "Of course you are welcome. Mr. Yuan can come, and I will be full of glory."

Cui Song listened to the leader's politeness, but responded with a few words in a perfunctory manner.Turning her head inadvertently, she happened to meet a pair of black eyes like a clear pool.

Cui Song originally thought that he was so "ignorant of good and bad", that "Sir" would definitely give him a caring and foolish gaze just like Mi Heng did back then.But now there is no element of doubt in those unwavering eyes, only examination and exploration.

Cui Song looked away and turned to Xu Zhuo on the other side.

Xu Zhuo was still holding on to the hilt of the sword tightly, his veins were bulging, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed.Cui Song nodded slightly at him, indicating that he had other plans, and told him not to worry.

Cui Song gave up the chance to leave, and even took the initiative to step into the wolf's den, not because of a twitch, disregarding his own safety, and trying to risk himself.

Instead, it was a decision he made to protect himself.

At this time, Xu Zhuo, who had been signaled, also calmed down, recalling what Cui Song said before "healing the wound", he vaguely guessed the reason why Cui Song acted like this.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

Instead of dealing with an assassin who hides in the dark and doesn't know when to strike from behind, it's better to go deep into the tiger's den and sleep with the tiger.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and yin and yang turn each other.A tiger that is a threat to them is also a hindrance to an assassin.

In this way, this most dangerous place has become a safe place instead.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, and slightly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

His conjectures are almost inseparable, except for a little omission.

Regardless of the hidden dangers, Cui Song would rather be in the same room with these ferocious Di tribesmen than take chestnuts from the fire and walk the tightrope bridge. There is another reason besides using them as bodyguards he hired to protect himself.

He needs to borrow their hand and find someone.
