I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 148 Echo

Master Wu Qi shook his head and said, "I have already received this money a long time ago.

To be honest, we sent out a batch of them in July last year, but no matter what I did afterwards, I couldn't get them out.

Unfortunately, the cloth in the other store has almost run out of stock after the New Year holidays."

“That means other people’s goods can’t be delivered either.

Master Wu Qi, please return the money! Mr. Lu is currently training in the barracks, and I can't see him here at the moment." Shen Xiaoye advised.

Master Wu Qi: "I want to return it, but if it cannot be delivered, I will have to pay double the amount of the goods, which contain silk and satin.

With Derun's current turnover, it is difficult to cope with it for the time being."

He paused, and then said, "What if Mr. Shen asked Mr. Pan to come forward?"

"My fourth uncle is also in the barracks." Shen Xiaoye thought for a while, "Master Wu Qi, the other party has been urging you to deliver the goods, and it is very likely that they are not just using them themselves.

If this store is involved with Dada, the loss to Derun will be more than double the payment.”

"I know that, but if I don't try hard, I always feel like I'm losing out." Master Wu Qi knew it all too well. He also knew that asking someone for help from Shen Xiaoye might not work, but he just tried his best.

It was because we lost a boat on a voyage last year and we are stuck with the money in the account.

“It seems that the goods can only be brought back and transferred to others.

But as Miss Shen just said, please help me transfer the goods so that others won’t lower the price. Reward…”

"Mr. Wu Qi regards me as a friend and I'm just helping you. Talking about money will hurt our feelings." Shen Xiaoye immediately interrupted him.

Master Wu Qi stood up and bowed: "Thank you. It has been decided. You decide when to come out."

"Let's go now. We can get there before dark if we set out now." After learning that the location was Wuzhong County under Ji Town, Shen Xiaoye and his uncle fed the two horses fine feed every day. The horses have recovered and they hope to arrive that day.

They left as soon as they said they would. This time, grandpa Shen Shanyou naturally accompanied them, and the little black cat and the little leopard also went with them.

The latter had no idea that his mother might be in danger. He kept poking his head out of his grandfather's arms, curious about the scenery on the road.

In contrast, the little black cat lay flat in the bag and whispered: "Do you have enough silver?

I don’t know how much a living leopard would cost you.”

"Money is a small problem. I'm afraid that others are unwilling to give it." During the Lantern Festival, Shen Xiaoye did not see the mother leopard appear. It seemed that it had been captured at that time.

She sped up the horse, and under the leadership of her grandfather and Master Wu Qi, they only ate something at a roadside shop at noon. After the horses had a rest, the three of them started galloping again.

When they arrived at Wuzhong County under the jurisdiction of Jizhen, a thousand cavalrymen just came out of the city. From a distance, they could see that all of them were wearing heavy armor.

Although the sun is setting, the spots of light reflected on the nails are still dazzling.

The three men stood on the side of the road with nowhere to hide, and were beaten again and again. But when the troops were about to pass, a series of "Ah Woo" roars came from the team.

The little black cat slid out of the bag. The little leopard in grandpa's arms was already responding to the roar with its childish growl.

He jumped down at lightning speed and ran towards the cavalry rear guard that was getting closer and closer.

"Little Leopard, come back!" Shen Xiaoye wanted to run over, but was grabbed by his grandfather. "You're crazy. Charge into the marching cavalry."

"But it will be caught." Shen Xiaoye was so anxious that she jumped up and down, but her grandfather would not let her go. "You will also be caught if you rush over. Wait and see what happens at the end of the team."

But in a moment, the iron cage at the end of the cavalry team appeared in front of them. The mother leopard roared at the running cub and stopped its speed in time.

But when several cavalrymen were about to surround the cub again, the mother leopard grabbed the iron cage and banged it.

Fortunately, the little leopard was still small and cleverly escaped from the horse's hooves and ran towards Shen Xiaoye who was released by his grandfather.

She pounced on it and hugged the frightened little leopard. She wanted very much to send it into the space, but she couldn't. She could only stuff it into the big bag in her arms and let it keep the little black cat company.

However, several cavalrymen also chased after them and said directly: "Sell it to us."

"Not for sale." Shen Xiaoye directly refused, and said: "The mother leopard in the cage is also mine. May I ask if I can redeem her?"

"Hahaha, what are you thinking? You said what's yours is yours?

You dare to take the leopard presented to His Majesty?" One of them pushed aside his visor and laughed.

Shen Xiaoye said: "Your Majesty is busy training troops and has no time to ask for it."

"Shen Xiaoye!" Grandpa Shen Shanyou came running over and just heard this, his eyes full of warning.

Even if you knew what the emperor was doing, you couldn't tell him, let alone you who didn't know.

However, several cavalrymen dismounted and pointed their swords at her: "Capture her for pretending to be a saint!"

"Sir, children are ignorant." Shen Shanyou quickly clasped his fists and stretched out his hands the moment he opened them, allowing them to see the silver ingots in his hand clearly, and then he shot them towards the leader.

Helplessly, the other party turned his blade to block it: "I don't want this."

They quickly surrounded Shen Xiaoye in the middle and blocked Shen Shanyou outside the circle, then pulled down the ropes and tied up Xiaoye.

On the other side, Master Wu Qi was holding the reins of three horses, looking terrified. The people stranded on the roadside did not dare to say a word.

Only the mother leopard's angry roar, accompanied by the sound of more than a thousand horses' hooves in the distance, echoed.

Seeing the rope falling, Shen Xiaoye immediately lowered his voice and said, "My uncle is accompanying the emperor in Beijing. The big leopard saved many soldiers in Kaiping years ago."

"Sir, this kid is not lying. My son and General Lu An's nephew are training medical soldiers." Shen Shanyou added more comprehensively.

Several cavalrymen couldn't help but stop, and the leader pointed at the leopard mother and said, "Is it the big leopard that traveled thousands of miles to Kaipingwei to rescue the anti-lu army?"

"Yes." The grandfather and grandson nodded in unison.

Another cavalryman nodded his head and took two steps back. He said, "This time when we came to Beijing, we also selected a few people to train in battlefield rescue. I heard that the medical soldiers saved a lot of people last time.

Boss, this little girl can't be tied up. She might really know what's going on in the capital."

"What a mess! We originally wanted to catch a smart leopard and hand it over to our superiors to be trained like the Kaiping Guards, but it turns out they are the same one.

You go and release the people, we will quickly catch up with the front." The leader couldn't find anyone to confirm Shen Xiaoye's identity at the moment, but he knew from experience that the other party was telling the truth.

So Shen Xiaoye was surrounded for only a few breaths and escaped safely from the cavalry.

And the cavalrymen were heard saying, "The big leopard is going to see the emperor."

Then, she could only hold tightly the little leopard who wanted to escape, and waved vigorously to the mother leopard.

The road was clear again, and Master Wu Qi came running over and asked, "They won't give it to us?"

Shen Xiaoye grabbed his hat and said, "It wants to see the emperor."

Master Wu Qi: “…”

Since she couldn't redeem the goods, Shen Xiaoye had to go back to her uncle to ask Leopard Mother to take care of her. She now had to accompany Master Wu Qi to transport the goods back to Linghe County.

But it was getting late, so they had to rest for a night in the yard rented by Master Wu Qi.

The nights in the border town were never very quiet. Shen Xiaoye had just fallen asleep when the little black cat woke her up: "There's movement in the yard."
