Chapter 262 The name of the young marshal

Bai Ling nodded to express understanding. Because he came to the territory of Zixiao City, he asked curiously: "What is the name of the young marshal?"

"Shangguan Yu." Uncle Zhong lowered his voice.

With a 'pop' sound, the tea cup in Bai Ling's hand fell to the ground.

I had guessed Shangguan Yu's identity before, but I didn't expect that he would be the young marshal and the crown prince of the Han Dynasty.

No matter how ignorant Bai Ling was, he had once heard someone mention the status of the Han Palace in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It could be said that it was the leading existence besides the Emperor.

Naturally, the Han Palace, which held military power, was also a thorn in the emperor's side. If it were not for the constant fighting at the border and the Zixiao Army only obeying orders from the Han Palace, the Han Palace would have been deprived of its military power.

However, despite being a thorn in the emperor's eyes, there are still many forces who want to curry favor with the Han Palace. This century-old family has been more difficult to offend than the royal family members.

Bai Ling once joked that if the Han Dynasty palace wanted the country of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would be like searching for something. It is strange that the emperor could tolerate such a fierce tiger.

"Isn't the girl permed?" Seeing Bai Ling in a daze, Uncle Zhong couldn't help her adjust her wet dress, so he could only ask aloud.

"It's okay." Bai Ling shook his head, but his heart was clenching tightly.

At this moment, Bai Ling was not thinking about the identity gap, but worried about Shangguan Yu's poisoning.

But she didn't have a greeting card, and even if she wanted to see Shangguan Yu, she couldn't get in.

"Girl, if you are tired, there is an inn on this street, why not go and rest first?" Uncle Zhong said.

"Yeah." Bai Ling nodded.

The two of them left the teahouse, and Bai Ling looked at the young boy who had been following him unsurprisingly.

Although I asked Uncle Zhong to give me some money, it was not a large amount. If I wanted to stay in an inn or make other purchases, I would soon run out of money.

"Why do you keep following me?" Bai Ling knew that Shangguan Yu was the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, so he didn't want to let the young man follow him anymore.

Wouldn't it be very dangerous if an unknown person wanted to use himself to see Shangguan Yu?

"You have been kind to me, and I want to repay you." The young boy replied seriously.

"No, it's just a matter of a few taels of silver. If they were like you, they could fill Zixiao City."

Bai Ling glanced at Uncle Zhong and said to the young boy:

"If you take this money, it should be enough to pay for your return home, or until you find a way to make a living. Don't follow me anymore. You will make me feel uncomfortable."

The young boy didn't expect Bai Ling to be dissatisfied with his existence. The light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and he turned around and left with the silver.

Glancing at the young boy's lonely back, Bai Ling almost impulsively asked him not to leave, but in the end he held back.

After arriving at the inn, Bai Ling told Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, go buy a house. It's not convenient or safe to stay in an inn all the time. If I leave suddenly without telling you, you don't have to look for it."

Uncle Zhong didn't understand what Bai Ling meant, but he still followed the instructions without asking too much.

After Uncle Zhong left, Bai Ling called in the secret guard Shangguan Yu had left for her.

"Is Shangguan Yu really poisoned?" Bai Ling was not sure whether the news was true or false, but she would rather hope that it was news that confused the enemy.

"The young marshal was not poisoned on the battlefield, but an old illness recurred." The secret guard frowned and explained, and added: "The young marshal's old illness has always been kept secret."

Bai Ling was relieved. She knew that Shangguan Yu's body was poisonous and could be suppressed by treating it with spiritual spring water.

"I want to see him, please contact him." Bai Ling said.

"The young marshal is not here. His subordinates have sent someone to send a message, asking the girl to wait." the secret guard replied.

"I know, you go and have a rest." Bai Ling nodded.

Bai Ling was taking her time here, but the two groups of people looking for her were chasing after her in the direction of Zixiao City.

It's just that the people sent by Shangguan Yu went astray with Bai Ling and came back before Bai Ling. The people conveying the imperial edict had to go around in another circle and were in a team, so it would take several days to arrive.

"Young Marshal, when my subordinates went to Zidong City, Miss Bai had already left. Her maid said that Miss Bai was coming to Zixiao City. But she had not been encountered along the way. My subordinates did not do things well. Please punish me, Young Marshal."

Shangguan Yu's soldiers knelt down on one knee, explained the reason, and handed Shangguan Yu's letter to Bai Ling again to Shangguan Yu.

"Stay back." Shangguan Yu did not punish him. After the soldiers left, he ordered the secret guard: "Send the order immediately and let people pay attention to Bai Ling's whereabouts. If you find it, report it to me immediately."

"Yes." The secret guard took the order and left, leaving only a little bit of news.

Shangguan Yu tapped his fingers on the table, with a slight smile on his pale face, but also a hint of helplessness.

"You are quite capable. You even bribed the secret guards I sent over. I haven't received any news that you are coming to Zixiao City for so long." Shangguan Yu chuckled softly.

During the last three days and three nights of the battle, Shangguan Yu was physically exhausted, which caused residual poison in his body.

If Zifeng hadn't given Shangguan Yu the spiritual spring water in time and taken the emergency pills given by Bai Ling, Shangguan Yu might have had difficulty getting up at this moment.

However, before lunch time, a secret guard came to report that Bai Ling had already moved into Zixiao City.

"Go and send an order to the military doctor to select two people who know the epidemic and go to Zixiao City immediately." Although Shangguan Yu was excited after receiving the news, he did not forget about business.

Bai Ling is the soldiers' only hope to escape the plague, and he cannot waste time.

Besides, after Bai Ling knew that Shangguan Yu had not been poisoned by a new poison, he finally felt at ease and began to enjoy shopping leisurely.

Zixiao City is not as prosperous as Zidong City, but it has a bit more of an exotic feel.

Tribe items can be seen for sale everywhere in the streets and alleys, and foreign merchants can also be seen everywhere.

"Girl, do you want to see the leather? These are all new goods, twenty taels of silver each, absolutely a bargain." Seeing Bai Ling standing in front of his stall, not gorgeously dressed but with rare good materials, he immediately

When selling goods, the charges are higher than before.

"Are you killing animals?" Bai Ling raised his eyebrows. Seeing that the other party did not understand what he meant, he explained: "Although I am not a local, my ears are pretty good. The price you just told others is the highest."

It’s only ten taels of silver, and the lowest price is only five taels.”

The stall owner didn't expect that Bai Ling had already heard the quotation. He was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately put on a smile and said: "Isn't this just because the girl is good-looking? Isn't it because you think the low price is looking down on the girl? Which piece of leather does the girl like?

?I’ll give it to you at the lowest price.”

"How many pieces of leather do you have in total? If I want them all, what's your lowest price?" Bai Ling flipped through a few pieces and felt that the quality was pretty good. Zidong City would cost at least a dozen taels of silver.

"I didn't expect that the girl is a big customer. I still have twenty-eight pieces of leather in my stall. If the girl wants it, I will give you three taels of silver each. If the girl wants more, I will go home to get it for the girl and give it back.

There are more than thirty pieces." The stall owner said with a cheerful smile.

Although the wholesale price is lower, you can still make a lot of money by selling so many goods at once.

"These are enough. Send them to Fulai Inn. You tell the shopkeeper to find Uncle Zhong and he will pay you money." Bai Ling took out a wooden sign with three Arabic characters written on it. Uncle Zhong looked at himself.

Will know the price.

The leathers are all ordinary sheepskin, but the gloss of the wool makes it obvious that it is from the outside, and the effect of keeping out the cold will be better.

Bai Ling planned to give it to the elders in the village, but they were too embarrassed to accept the leather after buying it.
