Xiao Guang reluctantly sat up, looked at Yang Ning, and then said, "Do you think we are friends?"
Yang Ning simply sat down opposite Xiao Guang and said seriously: "It depends on what you do. If you are loyal and affectionate, and know how to repay kindness, I will naturally treat you as a friend. But if you want to burn bridges, then I will treat you as a friend." Your character is still very doubtful, so it would be better for this friend to do nothing."
Xiao Guang showed a smile and said: "So, it's not easy to be friends with you?" He coughed and raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"It depends on you whether it's easy or not." Yang Ning said with a smile: "You can also sit up. It seems that your life is not in danger. I can't delay any longer. If you don't give me money, please give me a happy word."
Yang Ning knew very well that in pursuing Xiaodie, he would need some money, otherwise the journey would be very difficult.
He distributed all the money he got from killing Xiao Yishui. Although he also got a money bag from Mu Shenjun, the old guy's money bag was not rich and could not last long.
He also thought that it was impossible to buy a horse on the way. Although he didn't know how much money a horse cost, he knew that Chu State seemed to be short of horses, and buying a horse would definitely not be cheap.
Whether it was Xiao Yishui or Mu Shenjun, the people Yang Ning killed were all unplanned. He didn't want to really become a robber who killed people and stole money.
Yang Ning originally thought that Xiao Guang would make excuses, but Xiao Guang nodded slightly and said: "You saved my life, I will give you some reward, this is natural."
"Good brother!" Yang Ning smiled brightly, clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I can tell at a glance that you are a particular person."
Xiao Guang said: "But you want a few hundred taels of silver...!" Before he could finish his words, Yang Ning thought it was too much and hurriedly said: "If you think it is too much, we can discuss it. Since you are easy to talk to, I am also reasonable. .”
"You misunderstood." Xiao Guang shook his head and said, "What I mean is that a few hundred taels of silver is not enough to repay your life-saving grace. Could it be that my life is only worth a few hundred taels of silver?"
Yang Ning was startled. It was a surprise. She thought to herself that there are still such people who are taken advantage of these days. She tried to keep her tone gentle: "What do you mean?"
"At least this amount!" Xiao Guang raised a hand and spread his fingers, "Five hundred taels of gold!"
Yang Ning became excited and shouted: "Good brother, be loyal, Xiao Guang, I saw the right person, you...!" At this point, he suddenly stopped, looked at Xiao Guang up and down suspiciously, his face was ugly, and he sneered. Said: "Xiao, I want to see where you got these five hundred taels of gold from?"
Five hundred taels of gold, of course, is not a small amount. Looking at Xiao Guang, even if he takes off his vagina, he still can't get out five hundred taels of gold.
Xiao Guang frowned and said, "You should be polite. Five hundred taels of gold is not a big amount. Since I told you to give it to you, I won't lose you a penny."
Yang Ning thought to himself that you are bragging and you really don't change your face. Five hundred taels of gold is not a big amount, so I can give you 100 points for pretending. Seeing that his expression was serious, but it didn't look like he was fake, he moved forward, doubting himself. Said: "Do you really have five hundred taels of gold? I am not greedy, just give me one hundred taels of gold."
"I keep my word, and I will never go back on my words." Xiao Guang raised his hand and pressed his head, still looking very weak, "Five hundred taels of gold, I won't miss you a penny. I will give it to you when I get to the capital."
Yang Ning finally understood and said angrily: "You want to go to the capital to get the gold you mentioned?"
Xiao Guang said: "Do you think I can get it now?"
"You can't come up with so much nonsense." Yang Ning said with a long face: "I say Xiao Guang, you are not old, your bragging skills are quite good, you are three points better than me. You are so talkative. You spit out five hundred taels of gold as soon as you touch it, and you want me to go to the capital to get it? Do you think I'm stupid? I can see through your thoughts at a glance."
"Oh?" Xiao Guang seemed very calm, "What are you thinking?"
Yang Ning pointed at Xiao Guang's nose and said: "You want to go to the capital, but you are alone and scared. You want me to escort you to the capital, don't you? You think I will do anything for five hundred taels of gold?" If you hesitate to go to the capital with you to pick it up, I will act as a free bodyguard for you along the way." He snorted coldly and pointed at his face, "Look at my face, how can I look like I am greedy for money?"
Xiao Guang stretched out a finger to push away Yang Ning's finger pointing at his nose. He did not refute, but nodded and said: "You are right, I really want you to follow me to Beijing."
"Get rid of this idea as soon as possible." It turned out that five hundred taels of gold was a castle in the air, which made Yang Ning very dissatisfied. "It's unlucky for me, but I gain wisdom every time I take advantage of others. It's easy for me to take advantage of others, but don't think about others taking advantage of me. "He stood up, turned around and left, "You take your Yangguan Road, and I'll take my single-plank bridge. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. We say goodbye and never see each other again."
This Xiao Guang looked like a troublemaker at first glance. Yesterday, his life was really in danger. Yang Ning couldn't bear to see him die on the road, so he came to save him. Now, this kid seems to have passed the life and death test, and he still wants to hold her. That is absolutely impossible.
Yang Ning has not forgotten those weird flying cicada secret ninjas from the East China Sea. Who knows if those people are still looking for Xiao Guang. If they are really found by those people, he will be implicated.
Xiao Guang wanted to stand up, but he could barely stand up halfway. His body was swaying. He raised his hand to press his temple and fell down. Yang Ning had already walked a few steps and heard the sound. He glanced back and frowned. .
"You... wait a minute!" Xiao Guang said: "You said you have something urgent to do. What is it?"
Yang Ning snorted coldly and said: "So what if I tell you? Can you still help me?"
"That's not certain." Xiao Guang calmed down, "I have many powerful... powerful friends. If you have any difficulties, even if I can't help you, they might be able to."
Yang Ning was thinking that this kid was going to the capital. Could it be that he lived in the capital? Judging from his thin skin and tender flesh, he obviously comes from a wealthy family and may actually have some connections.
He was already several days behind the escort team. If he was delayed on the left and on the right, if the escort team walked quickly, they would have already reached the capital.
If he can't catch up on the road, he can only go to the capital to look for it, but he also knows that since it is the capital, it is no small matter. If you only rely on yourself to find someone in the huge capital, it will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack, which is extremely difficult. High, and time does not wait for us. The sooner we want to find Xiaodie, the better. If time goes on, Xiaodie's situation will only become more and more difficult.
However, Yang Ning also knew that even if he could really rely on Xiao Guang's connections to find people in the capital, it would not reveal that he had such a need.
"I will naturally do my own things well." Yang Ning pretended to be cool and said: "I can't trust what you say."
Xiao Guang showed anger and said: "Since I was a child, I have always said the same thing. You...you dare to say that I don't keep my word?"
"There are a lot of people in the world who don't keep their word." Yang Ning shook his head and sighed: "When you are in trouble now, if you need help, you can ask for anything. When you really arrive in the capital, you will see that I am a beggar. I'm afraid that if you stay far away from me, I won't be able to get a penny of gold or silver."
Xiao Guang snorted coldly and said: "Are you a beggar? Your martial arts are very good. If you are tied with me, you can't be a member of the Beggar Clan, right?"
Yang Ning secretly thought that although your martial arts foundation is better than that of ordinary people, you are really not a master. At least compared to Mu Shenjun and the brown-robed elder, you are far behind. However, this kid immediately guessed that he was a member of the Beggar Gang. The disciple, who seemed to have some understanding of Jianghu affairs, asked, "Do you know about the Beggar Clan?"
Xiao Guang said calmly: "The Beggar Clan's disciples are all over the world, and they are divided into two factions, the north and the south. How could I not know?"
"Two factions, the north and the south?" Yang Ning was startled. Although he had some understanding of the Beggar Clan, he really didn't know that the Beggar Clan was divided into northern and southern factions.
Xiao Guang observed the words and asked curiously: "Don't you know that the Beggar Clan has long been divided into two factions, the North and the South?" Suddenly he laughed, "It seems that you are just a little beggar in the Beggar Clan."
Yang Ning said angrily: "You said that I was a disciple of the Beggar Clan, but I didn't say that, and what does the matter of the Beggar Clan have to do with me?" Still couldn't help but ask: "The two factions you mentioned are the North and the South. What fame?"
Xiao Guang said: "I don't know exactly what happened. It seems that the Beggar Clan split up decades ago in order to choose a new leader...!" He smiled and said, "It seems that you really don't care about the Beggar Clan. Clearly, you are so young and have good martial arts skills. If you are really a disciple of the Beggar Clan, you should not be buried."
Yang Ning couldn't help but laugh and said: "No matter how good he is, he is just a beggar. What's the point of that?"
"You don't want to be a beggar?" Xiao Guang asked back: "I heard that the Beggar Gang has a helmsman and a gang leader. If you become a helmsman or even a gang leader one day, it will be very prestigious."
"Awesome." Yang Ning couldn't help but swear, "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Clan. There are many people who want to be the helmsman, and there are even more people who want to be the leader of the gang. Let's not talk about whether they can take turns. Even if you really become a helmsman or a gang leader, what's the prestige of leading a large group of beggars? Besides, as a gang leader, you have to beware of plots by your subordinates every day. How many people want to replace you, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life. No." Hehe smiled and said: "Actually, the higher you stand, the more dangerous it is. It's better to live your own life down there and be happy."
Xiao Guang was startled, silent for a while, and then nodded and said: "What you said is quite right." His tone was a bit old-fashioned.
At this moment, a voice was heard calling from outside: "Sir, this seems to be an ancestral hall. You can rest here for a while."
This sound came very suddenly, and Yang Ning and Xiao Guang changed their expressions at the same time. Xiao Guang struggled to get up, but his body was weak and he couldn't get up for a while.
Yang Ning stepped forward and helped Xiao Guang up. He looked around and saw that people could only hide behind the platform. He helped Xiao Guang to the back of the platform gently. At this time, he heard an old voice say: "Everyone is here first." Rest, they won't be able to catch up for a while, wait until dark before leaving." The voice was not far from the gate.
Yang Ning helped Xiao Guang sit down behind the platform. He suddenly thought of the bonfire last night and immediately went over. The embers of the bonfire were clearly visible. He immediately pulled the hay on the ground to cover the ashes. It was a mess and he heard footsteps. He got close, placed two horizontal bars on it, and then ducked behind the platform.
