Chapter 30: Tie Sanniang, Biyou'er
"snort."
The girl in green clothes snorted coldly, opened the curtain of the luxurious carriage and got in.
After she sat down, she said with an indignant look, "Miss, the people below are getting more and more excessive now. They eat and drink and ask for cards. Everyone they know or don't know is stuffed into the convoy."
Sitting on the main seat in the carriage was a woman wearing a pale golden dress.
The woman's black hair is as black as ink, her appearance is as if carved from white jade, her face is like gelatin, and her eyes are like dots of lacquer. She is so beautiful that she looks like a beautiful woman.
She looked at the personal maid she had grown up with with a faint smile and said, "You'er, the frontier is difficult, and it's not easy for them to be stationed here. As long as it's not a big deal, there's no need to make a fuss."
"But although the conditions are difficult, the treatment our Tie family gives them is also better."
The girl called You'er muttered softly.
The beautiful woman chuckled and said, "How about I give you some more money so that you can live in this Yumen Town for a long time?"
You'er shook his head, "I don't want it. The wind and sand here are bad for the skin. I don't want to pay more money."
"If you don't want to, why should they?"
The beautiful woman looked out through the gap in the curtains and sighed, "Not everything can be solved with money."
You'er seemed to see something on his young lady's mind, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you still worried about your marriage?"
"You are such a clever little kid."
"hey-hey."
You'er smiled naively, "I know Miss, you look down on those royal descendants, but I feel like Miss, you don't have to worry about these things at all."
The beautiful woman looked puzzled, "Why?"
You'er said with a natural expression, "You have such a good relationship with Princess Mingyue, and Princess Mingyue is so favored by His Majesty, you can ask Princess Mingyue to help you terminate your engagement."
The beautiful woman was stunned, then reached out and touched her lovely maid's head without saying anything.
It would be great if things could really be resolved like this.
"Okay, You'er, go and ask if it's ready outside. The convoy should be setting off."
Putting down her hands, the beautiful woman said softly.
"Okay ma'am."
...
Li Dao, led by the guard captain, quickly came to a carriage escorting goods.
"When the convoy sets off, you can just follow this car."
The guard captain said.
"knew."
Li Dao nodded.
"that whoever!"
At this time, a sweet voice sounded in their ears.
The two of them looked back and saw a beautiful and lovely little girl appearing beside them.
Seeing the person coming, the guard captain quickly greeted him, "It turns out to be Miss You'er. What's the matter?"
Bi You'er glanced at Li Dao who was standing aside. His expression was startled for a moment. After regaining consciousness, he glared and then turned around and asked, "Miss asked me to ask if your fleet is ready."
The guard captain said quickly, "Get ready, I can leave at any time, please don't worry, miss."
"That's good. If something goes wrong, the lady will hold you accountable."
After Biyou'er finished speaking, he continued to walk to the next motorcade.
When she passed by Li Dao, her face turned red inexplicably, and she walked quickly with a slight hum, causing Li Dao on the side to show a puzzled expression.
Just now, he inexplicably felt a hint of hostility coming from the little girl, but it soon turned into shame and anger. Has he seen her?
Looking at the little girl's retreating figure, Li Dao asked the guard captain on the side, "Brother, can you tell me that the person leading the convoy this time is the one from the Tie family?"
"do not you know?"
"I just came to Yumen Town from outside the border fortress."
"That's no wonder."
The captain of the escort team raised his chin towards the luxury carriage not far away, "Have you seen that luxury carriage?"
"Saw."
"There is the third lady of the Tie family sitting there - Tie Sanniang."
Iron Sanniang?
Hearing this name, Li Dao showed a look of surprise on his face.
He used to be very familiar with this name in the imperial capital.
As her name suggests, Tie Sanniang is the third eldest daughter in the direct lineage of the Tie family, and she has two older brothers, the eldest and the second.
And Iron Sanniang has a title - Iron Lady.
The reason why she is called so is because the boss and second son of the Tie family above her are famous for being a good-for-nothing, and his reputation is even worse than that of him at the beginning.
Although Tie Sanniang is born as a girl, she is extremely talented and has been extremely intelligent since she was a child.
He started the Tie family's business when he was twelve years old, and showed amazing business talent, which made the Tie family's business prosperous for a time.
Such a comparison has led to Tie Sanniang's fame growing.
However, this is not what Tiesanniang is most famous for.
Her reputation for appearance once overshadowed her commercial achievements. She and Princess Mingyue were both considered the two most beautiful women in the imperial capital.
He didn't expect such a coincidence that this convoy would be led by this iron lady.
However, he was surprised. No matter how powerful Tie Sanniang was, it had nothing to do with him. There was no intersection with him before, and it would be difficult to have any intersection in the future.
If I had to say, the connection between the two might be Princess Mingyue.
One is Princess Mingyue's best friend, and the other is a man who ruined her innocence.
Not long after the time passed, news came from the front that the convoy was about to set off.
As the carriage in front slowly moved, Li Dao sat down on the carriage escorting the goods and acted as a temporary guard.
...
Because Yumen Town is far away from the Imperial Capital, and the convoy is long, the speed of the journey is not very fast, and you need to stop and rest during the period.
And just like that, after seven days, the journey was only halfway through.
"Stop to rest and eat."
With the sound of gongs and drums, the carriage slowly stopped, and Li Dao also jumped off the horse to stretch his muscles.
Because he is a guard, he does not have to make a fire and cook like some of the accompanying grooms.
After a while, Li Dao saw a green figure coming from not far away.
"snort!"
When passing by Li Dao, the familiar humming sound sounded again, and Li Dao looked confused.
This happened countless times. Every time the carriage stopped, the little girl would inspect the convoy, and every time she passed by him, she would snort.
With his strong memory, he guaranteed that he had never seen this girl before and did not know where he had offended her.
But in the past few days, he did know the other party's identity.
Tie Sanniang's personal maid──Bi You'er.
After a while, when Bi Youer passed by Li Dao, he hummed again.
At this time, Li Dao couldn't help but asked, "Girl, have I sinned against you in any way?"
He regretted it as soon as he asked. A little girl could just hum. It had no effect on him, so why bother asking for trouble? So he simply turned his head and pretended that he had not spoken.
"Were you talking just now?"
He still didn't hide away, and soon Biyou'er came closer and asked in a soft and sweet voice.
"not me."
Li Dao shook his head decisively and denied it.
"It was you who spoke."
Bi You'er jumped in front of Li Dao and said with serious eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Dao became calm, raised his head and said, "May I ask if the girl is dissatisfied with me?"
Hearing this, Bi You'er was stunned for a moment. After coming back to her senses, she thought about her previous reactions. Her cute little face couldn't help but blush, but soon she blushed and nodded seriously, "Yes."
"have?"
Li Dao looked puzzled, "I've probably never seen you, girl."
Biyou'er looked around, then suddenly stretched out a cute white finger and pointed in one direction, "He will help you join our motorcade through the back door."
Li Dao looked back and saw the guard captain who helped him join the Tie family's motorcade, and he immediately understood the meaning of his words.
He was speechless and helpless for a moment.
This kind of thing seemed normal to him, but looking at the serious-looking little girl in front of him, he felt that it was abnormal. After all, if he really pursued it, he would not be unreasonable.
Thinking of this, he regretted calling Bi You'er even more. It was a good thing he didn't mention it before, so he just let it go.
Now that we have made it clear, we must solve it.
After all, this little girl is the personal maid of the strong lady. If she says anything, he may be kicked out of the team.
What will he do then?
Putting a knife on Tie Sanniang's neck and asking him to take him into the imperial capital?
Isn't that just throwing yourself into a trap?
then...
Li Dao spread his hands calmly, "Okay, my question is, Miss You'er, tell me what to do."
"I..."
As soon as these words came out, it was Bi You'er's turn and she didn't know how to express her kindness.
Her initial idea was to kick these unruly people out of the team.
She glanced at the wilderness around her and felt something was wrong. She was a kind person. If she left people here, what would happen if someone died?
But that was all, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't do something.
Finally, Bi You'er thought of her own lady, so she looked at the handsome man in front of her with a sullen face, and said two words in a soft and sweet voice.
"Bad guy!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't do anything else. She just stood there and stared with big eyes. She didn't know why she did this. She only knew that her young lady could sometimes scare people just by looking without saying anything. Retreat many people.
The person involved, Li Dao, didn't feel anything at all, but found it quite interesting.
After roughly guessing the character of the girl in front of him, he said, "How about this, as my punishment for getting mixed up in the team, how about I compensate you."
Hearing this, Biyou'er looked away and asked with a suspicious expression, "How are you going to compensate?"
"How about compensation?"
"Yes, according to the price of Tiejia Escort Agency, escorting one person starts with ten gold."
Ten gold?
That's one thousand taels.
Li Dao felt that the little girl in front of him was trying to steal money.
But then I thought about it, considering the status of Tiejia Escort Agency, ten gold didn't seem to be much.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, he turned his head and said, "What if I don't have enough money?"
Li Dao didn't give the little girl in front of him a chance to continue talking. He sighed and said, "It seems that you will throw me out of the motorcade."
"There are no villages or shops around here, and it's in the mountains. I don't know if a frail young man like me will be spotted and eaten by wild beasts."
"If we really encounter it, we will probably die miserably."
"First I was disemboweled by wild beasts, my heart and lungs were ripped out, and finally only a pile of skeletons were left exposed in the wilderness. I..."
"Stop, stop, stop talking!"
Biyou'er's face turned pale, frightened by the picture in her mind.
She just wanted to verbally reprimand the guy, there was that thought there.
As if she was afraid that Li Dao would be confused, she quickly said, "I don't want your money anymore."
Seeing that the little girl was frightened, Li Dao became interested for a moment and continued, "If you don't want money, I will feel very guilty."
Seeing that the young man in front of him was so serious, Bi Youer regretted that he had talked too much.
After hesitating for a moment, she thought of something and suddenly said, "Then you can repay the fare in another way."
"In what way?"
Biyou'er took a look at Li Dao's dress and said curiously, "Looking at you, you should be a tourist from all over the world."
"What do you want to say?"
Biyou'er's eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, since you are a tourist from all over the world, you should have been to many places and learned many stories."
Li Dao was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "That's right."
"So are you good at telling your story?"
After hearing this, Li Dao almost understood what was going on. It would be hard to tell if he had other requests, but to tell a story...
So he said, "I guess he's better at telling stories."
"Really? I can tell you, I've heard many stories too."
Li Dao smiled lightly, "I guarantee that no one has heard my story."
"Okay, I will believe you once. If the story sounds good, I won't charge you for the fare. If it doesn't sound good, let me tell you how to teach you a lesson."
Seeing that the people around him had started eating, Li Dao touched his stomach and said, "Before you tell the story, you have to let me have a full stomach first."
Bi You'er looked around, said "Just wait" and ran away.
Soon after, she came back with a bowl of hearty food in her hand.
Putting the food in Li Dao's hand, he said, "Here you go, tell me a story when you're full."
Li Dao glanced at the food in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Why is it so rich?"
"Of course the food I prepare is different from others."
"Thank you."
Li Dao left a word and then immersed himself in eating.
A bowl full of rice was eaten by him in a few minutes.
Looking at Li Dao eating, Bi You'er thought to herself: "He looks pretty good eating too."
But she soon realized how rebellious her thoughts were, and her pretty face turned red.
And no matter how good-looking she is, she is the personal maid of her young lady. In the future, she will also be married to her young lady. She will be the bed-warming maid of whomever the young lady marries. She has no choice at all.
She took one look at the appearance of the man in front of her and prayed in her heart that her young lady would find a good-looking husband in the future. She didn't insist on it, she just wanted him to be similar to the man in front of her.
Soon Li Dao finished his meal and put down his bowl.
Biyou'er sat on the side of the carriage seriously and said softly, "You can tell me a story after you finish eating."
"Of course it's okay."
Li Dao wiped his mouth and smiled slightly, "Then, Miss You'er, what kind of story do you want to hear?"
"What's your story?"
"That's a lot."
Li Dao listed them in detail, "Ancient romance, fairy romance, and historical romance."
"Or Eastern mythology, Western magic, historical masterpieces..."
"Anyway, you pick one, I can do it."
In his previous life, Li Dao was an old bookworm with almost twenty years of reading experience, and he dabbled in various novels. Because of his strengthened body, those memories were extremely clear. To tell the truth, he went three days and three nights without rest.
On the side, Bi You'er heard a series of stories coming from Li Dao's mouth, her bright red mouth opened slightly, showing a very shocked expression.
After a while, he finally said, "Do you have all the stories you told me?"
"They're all available, you take your pick."
Biyou'er frowned, feeling entangled. She wanted to hear everything, but in the end she threw the choice back.
"You know too much, so you can say whatever you want. I will listen to whatever you say, but don't lie to me."
"Okay, then I'll tell you a story about a reckless man."
"A reckless person?"
"Bah, that's wrong. It's a story about a human and a snake demon."
"oh."
