The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 277: Trading with the Princes of Three Countries

"Uncle Zhou, come and eat something!"

Shopkeeper Zhou was talking in low voices with Shangguan Yu and the other two when they heard Lin Xi's voice coming from the cave entrance. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Xi handing a bunch of grapes in through the gap in the fence door.

Shopkeeper Zhou tiptoed quickly to the entrance of the cave, thanked Lin Xi, and took the grapes from her hand.

He was a little thirsty, and eating some grapes could quench his thirst.

Shopkeeper Zhou wiped his hands roughly, sat down at the entrance of the cave, and started eating grapes while talking to Lin Xi.

Ouyang Jing and the other two looked at the bunch of crystal clear grapes in his hand and couldn't help swallowing.

Those people only provided them with simple meals in the past two years. They had not eaten any fruit for two whole years. This was simply torture for the three people who had once lived a life of luxury.

Shangguan Yu came up to Shopkeeper Zhou and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Brother Zhou, are these grapes delicious?"

Shopkeeper Zhou was really thirsty, so he ate very quickly. His attention was all on the grapes in his hand. He didn't even look at Shangguan Yu, so he didn't notice that Shangguan Yu was staring at the grapes in his hand and swallowing his saliva continuously.

Without even looking up, he answered casually, "Yeah, it's delicious, sour and sweet, and very juicy!"

Shangguan Yu wanted to ask for more grapes, but he didn't spit them out until Manager Zhou finished eating the bunch of grapes.

After eating the grapes, Shopkeeper Zhou wiped his hands on the clothes at the waist. When he raised his head, he saw three people looking at him with resentment on their faces.

He asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"

Ouyang Jing coughed, his face regained its composure, and he whispered, "Oh, nothing, I just saw that you were eating so deliciously, so I came to take a look!"

Shangguan Yu saw that the grapes were gone, and then looked at Lin Xi outside the cave who also had nothing in his hands. He said dejectedly: "Brother Zhou, why didn't you think of sharing some with us? After all, we are brothers."

Shopkeeper Zhou then realized that the three people were coveting the grapes in his hand, but unfortunately he didn't notice them and had already eaten them.

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have saved some for you. I was so thirsty just now that I ate them all without noticing. You can ask my little brother if he can get some more grapes!"

After Shopkeeper Zhou finished speaking, he winked at Lin Xi, wanting her to exchange fruits for some benefits from the three princes. They were members of the royal family, and any gift from them would be enough for Lin Xi's family to spend for many years.

Nangong Qing grabbed the gate with both hands, approached Lin Xi, and asked flatteringly: "Little brother, do you have any grapes? If not, other fruits will do. I haven't seen any fruit in two years!"

Lin Xi looked at Nangong Qing and the other two, then smiled slyly, "Fruits, I have some, but I don't know you, why should I give you fruits?"

"Little girl, please send me some fruit to satisfy my craving. When I escape and return to the Dashun Dynasty, I will send someone to give you silver notes. How much do you want? Just tell me!"

Nangong Qing patted his chest and promised Lin Xi.

Shangguan Yu bowed to Lin Xi and said, "Since you can come and go freely in this heavily guarded cave and deliver fruit to Brother Zhou, you must be a capable person and can definitely get other things in. I wonder if you can get me some nutritious food so I can replenish my body and regain my strength!"

Ouyang Jing pushed Nangong Qing and Shangguan Yu, who were lying on the gate and talking to Lin Xi, aside. He looked at Lin Xi with a smile and said, "Little brother, can you bring in some nourishing medicine, and some secret medicine or poison? When I get out, I can leave you a handwritten letter, promising to do something for you in the future, as long as it does not go against my conscience."

"Why don't you just ask me to open this cell door and let you out? Once you're out, with your status, you can get whatever you want!"

Lin Xi leaned against the gate, crossed his arms, and said with a raised eyebrow.

"In our current physical condition, even if we escape, we won't be able to get far. There are so many people with great martial arts skills here. I'm sure we won't be able to run far before we're caught!"

Shangguan Yu pinched the fat on his body, sighed and said.

In the past two years, these people have only been given antidote once in a while so that they can get up and move around, and ensure that they don't lie down like paraplegics. Their physical fitness is really terrible!

Ouyang Jing and Nangong Qing heard this, looked at their own physical conditions, and sighed deeply.

"If I can get rid of all these people outside, guarantee to take you out of this place without being discovered, and prepare clothes and money for you to return to your country, what can you give me?"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he took out a peach from his arms and started eating it.

Shangguan Yu and the other two looked at her with suspicion when they heard what she said. This little brother is so arrogant. Does he know how many masters there are in this cave?

Look at the peach in her hand, and then look at her chest which is still deflated like before. You can't tell that there was such a big peach hidden there!

Shangguan Yu and the other two looked at each other and felt that the little boy in front of them was a little strange.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhou came forward, looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Brother Lin, can you really get us out safely?"

To be honest, he was a little worried. With the skills of those people outside, even if the master sent people from the secret camp, they would not be able to capture them in a short time. How would Lin Xi lead them to avoid these people's pursuit?

Shopkeeper Zhou thought that Lin Xi was going to drug these people and then secretly take them away. He never imagined that Lin Xi wanted to get rid of these people completely.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou didn't believe her, Lin Xi shrugged and looked at the four people and said, "How about this, Uncle Zhou and I are old acquaintances, and I will naturally not ask for any reward for saving him. As for the three of you, I will go and get rid of those people in a while. After I take you out in a swagger, you can leave me a handwritten letter and promise to do three things for me. How about that? I won't let you do anything that harms the world."

Shangguan Yu and the other two looked at each other and nodded, agreeing to Lin Xi's conditions. Let alone three things, as long as Lin Xi could really rescue them, what would be wrong with agreeing to ten things?

Let her try first. If she can get rid of those people, that would be the best. If she can’t, then there won’t be any loss for the three of them, right?

"Brother Lin, be careful. Put your own safety first. If you can't solve the problem, you can send a message to my master's people and ask them to rescue me. Don't take risks!"

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Lin Xi with a worried look on his face and gave him instructions repeatedly.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry. Don't you know me? I never do anything without confidence!"

Lin Xi blinked at Shopkeeper Zhou, smiled, and then slipped away from the entrance of the small cave.
