The Golden Age
Chapter One, Three and Six
Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiao had a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart why shopkeeper Dou was worried.
The Tian Dou and his family were obviously frequent visitors to the Chinese city. The White Wolf King sent people to burn the Chinese city and captured many people. The news was not blocked. The people who ran back there must have reported the news, and Tian Of course the Dou family also knows.
Although Tian Dou and his family had already made preparations for the exit this time, bad news came. Common sense said that the plan for this exit will be cancelled immediately.
However, Yuwen Chengchao had to use the caravan as a cover and went to Wutuo to find out what happened.
Even if the Tian Dou and his family were unwilling, they had nothing to do in the face of Yuwen's family. If they couldn't follow Yuwen's intention to leave the customs this time, then Tian Dou's business would have done well.
Shopkeeper Dou looked miserable, obviously because he was worried that he would encounter accidents after leaving the customs.
"Don't worry, you two, this time the eldest son will lead the team personally, nothing will happen." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Since we are ordered to leave the customs, no matter what the circumstances, at least we will protect the integrity of both.
When the shopkeeper Tian heard this, he immediately stepped forward, held Qin Xiao's wrist, and sighed: "Wang Qi School, when you say this, my heart is truly at ease. We will rely on you to take care of us along the way."
Shopkeeper Dou also stepped forward and said, "There is King Lao riding school."
Ning Zhifeng looked up at the sky, and said, "Several people, let's go to the backyard first. It should be ready over there."
Several people came to the backyard, Qin Xiao saw at a glance that there was an incense altar in the courtyard. Fat fish and others were in the courtyard. Yu Wen Chengchao was standing on the edge of the incense altar and was talking to Liu Wenxuan in a low voice.
Liu Wenxuan was dressed in coarse cloth. If Qin Xiao hadn't known his identity, at first glance, he looked like a teacher in a college.
As soon as Qin Xiao and the others came in, everyone looked at him. Yu Wencheng nodded towards Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao arched his hands and looked at Liu Wenxuan, who happened to meet Liu Wenxuan, although Liu Wenxuan also had a faint smile on his face. , But Qin Xiao always felt that there was a strange air in this person, and he also bowed his hand.
For a safe journey, every time a trade company leaves customs, an incense altar is set up to worship.
Before long, many people gathered in the yard, some Qin Xiao was familiar with and some had never seen before.
Ning Zhifeng introduced a few more important people to Qin Xiao. One of them was the guard leader of the trading house called Ling Zixiao. Before the trading house caravans went out, most of them were led by him. This person is over 40 years old. He looks quite old and Shen, listening to Ning Zhifeng's introduction, Ling Zixiao is very familiar with the situation outside Guan, and can almost be said to be the best guide for the caravan's trip.
The person who presided over the sacrifice was the shopkeeper of the trading house. In fact, behind the Longhe Trading House was the Yuwen family. The shopkeeper of the trading house was the servant of the Yuwen family.
Burning incense and offering wine, the crowd followed the rules and worshipped the heaven and the earth. Everyone present drank a bowl of wine. Then the shopkeeper of the trading house removed a rolled up flag from the altar and opened it. It was the "Longhe" two. Words, Qin Xiao knew that this should be the caravan's team flag, and with this flag, you can let others know that this is the caravan of Longhe Trading Company.
People who first ventured into this path may not know the key points, but Qin Xiao is clever, knowing that the flag of Longhe Trading Company is showing up. At least in Xiling, everyone knows that it is Yuwen's house behind it. Those bandits and horse thieves saw this flag. , Unless you really don’t want to live anymore, you would definitely not dare to rob Yuwen’s caravan.
The shopkeeper of the trading house held the flag in both hands and handed it to Yuwen Chengchao. Yuwen Chengchao took the flag, turned around and handed it to Fat Yu, saying: "Hold the flag!"
The fat fish also took the flag very carefully and turned away.
"I hope everything goes smoothly during the export trade." Yuwen Chengchao said solemnly: "After we set off, everything is done in accordance with the rules. Everyone knows the rules, so I won't say much. If anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me. ruthless."
Qin Xiao thought that you know the rules, but I have never left the customs. I don't know what rules the caravan has.
Yuwen Chengchao took the people out of the trading house. There were carriages in an alley. The porter, coachman and groom were all ready, and Fat Fish had already inserted the flag on the front car.
At this moment, there was the sound of a car grinding not far away. Qin Xiao looked over and saw a large carriage coming here.
, This carriage is different from the more than 20 carts that pull goods in front of it. It is a carriage used to ride. Although the carriage is not gorgeous, it is very spacious and can seat five or six people.
Qin Xiao was a little strange, wondering if someone else would go in a carriage?
Yuwen Chengchao was accustomed to riding horses and traveled as the leader of the guard. Naturally, it was impossible to ride a carriage. Qin Xiao swept around and found that the two shopkeepers Tian Dou seemed to have their own mounts, and they did not look like they were going to ride a carriage. Look like.
He was surprised that the carriage had stopped. The coachman jumped out of the carriage and ran to the side of Yu Wencheng, whispering a few words in his ear. Yu Wencheng nodded slightly without saying more.
"There is a woman in the car." Ning Zhifeng, who was standing next to Qin Xiao, obviously saw Qin Xiao's doubts, and leaned close to Qin Xiao's ear and whispered: "The eldest son is going to deal with the troubles in the Tang City. The White Wolf King contacted. We have known for a long time that the White Wolf King likes female sex, so the eldest son asked a few beauties to be prepared for the White Wolf King when he had the opportunity."
Qin Xiao came to understand now.
He sighed in his heart, in this world, women are still like goods and can be given to each other as gifts.
Although Yu Wen Chengchao is grand and heroic, he is ultimately a protagonist. In his eyes, he would not look at a woman.
Suddenly heard the sound of a gong, Yuwen Chengchao finally said, "It's set off."
Everyone got on their horses individually. When they got on the horse, Geng Shao and others under Qin Xiao's hands were obviously neat and upright. They were obviously much stronger than the dozens of bodyguards from the trading houses.
There are nearly a hundred people in the caravan. The team is not small.
Yuwen Chengchao didn't take the lead, but let Ling Zixiao, the bodyguard leader of the trading house, lead a few bodyguards, while Qin Xiao led Baihuying Geng Shao and others behind.
After the team started, the sky was already bright.
Walking in the city, people on both sides occasionally cast their eyes, but most people don't care.
There are caravans in Fengganfu every year, and there are many more spectacular teams than this time, so people are commonplace and don't find it strange.
The carriage that Ning Zhifeng said was riding in the beauty is at the back of the team. The truck team is in front. Yu Wencheng is walking in the middle. The two shopkeepers Tian Dou are following Yu Wencheng, and Fat Yu and others are on the two wings of the team.
The accompanying guards are all cavalry, so I don’t worry that the enemy will sneak attack from the two wings. After all, once the enemy is found, the cavalry can rush to the two wing guards at any time. In Xiling, everyone is still very relaxed. After all, the Yuwen family’s flag is not just Just bluff people.
Longhe caravan drove out of Fenggan Mansion City, heading west.
Qin Xiaoyao looked around and looked endless. The team might still be somewhat large in the city, but after leaving the city, between the heavens and the earth, it seemed extremely small, a drop in the ocean.
He couldn't help thinking in his heart, if Wu Tuo and Datang really get along, and the two sides trade each other and each gain their own benefits, that would be a good thing.
Through such trade, businessmen can not only make huge profits, but also pass on their customs and cultures to each other. Coachmen and even bodyguards can make a living from this. It should be said that it is a happy result for everyone.
It's just that he knew that after the news of the burning of Tangren City, before things became clear, there would be no more caravans in the customs that would dare to go out. Perhaps the caravan of Longhe Trading Company was the only team preparing to leave the customs.
Although Qin Xiao felt very strange about what happened in Tangren City, he didn’t know anything about the situation there, and he was even more unfamiliar with the arrested Maple Leaf Building White shopkeeper. What was the hidden secret in it? I can't think of it even if I want to break my head.
But Qin Xiao was quite sure in his heart.
The white shopkeeper in the Maple Leaf Tower is definitely not as simple as the shopkeeper in the restaurant.
Yuwen's family even sent Yuwenchengchao to deal with the matter. It can be seen that the treasurer Bai was very concerned about it, and Qin Xiao also knew from them before that the treasurer Bai was the confidant of the old man of Changyi. Certain status, such an important person, staying in the Uttarakhand for several years is of course not simple.
He believed that the treasurer Bai was probably using Maple Leaf Tower as a cover, but it was actually Yuwen
The most important task of the family's ears and eyes arranged in the Utua Khanate is to pay attention to the movement of the Utua Khanate and report to the Yuwen family at any time.
Although the Xiling Gate Clan had a domineering blessing in Xiling and had extremely terrifying control over this land, Qin Xiao also understood that the ambitious King of Wutuo New Khan Nalusheng must be a member of the Xiling Gate Clan’s heart. Group shadow.
The Xiling Gate Valve must pay attention to the movements of the Wutuo Khanate at any time to prepare for it.
Among the team, it was Liu Wenxuan that caught Qin Xiao's attention the most.
Liu Wenxuan is the deputy commander of the White Tiger Camp. It is reasonable to say that since he is following the team to go west, the position of the deputy commander should be him. However, the deputy commander Liu not only did not assume the duties of the deputy commander, but also dressed in the same clothes. Others are different, wearing coarse clothes, riding a very ordinary horse, very inconspicuous in the team.
Riding in the team, Liu Wenxuan looked right and left from time to time, as if he was enjoying the scenery along the way. This time we went west, everyone had their responsibilities. Liu Wenxuan seemed to be a tourist following the team.
But Qin Xiao knew he was definitely not a tourist.
And he believes that Liu Wenxuan must have an unknown mission this time.
The caravan went for a day without any haste, and found a place to camp on a slightly higher ground at night, with a creek nearby, which just happened to be able to replenish water.
Yuwen Chengchao ordered the team to encircle the carriage and immediately formed a barrier. Everyone set up tents in the circle and came over to find Qin Xiao, and asked Qin Xiao to divide the twenty guards with him into two groups. Take turns on duty at night.
There are a large number of trucks. After being enclosed, there is a large open space in the middle. It is very easy to set up a dozen tents.
More than a dozen porters and coachmen live in a tent, as long as there is a place to sleep.
There are also handymen who are responsible for feeding the horses. When everyone is eating dry food, several handymen will feed the horses separately.
However, Qin Xiao's black overlord was a maverick, and the handymen did not dare to approach, so Qin Xiao could only feed himself.
The big carriage parked in the corner, and no one went to bother.
Qin Xiao voluntarily asked to guard the middle of the night, instructing Geng Shao and others to guard everywhere, everyone with their backs and knives, not because they were still in Xiling.
In the dead of night, most people in the camp were already asleep.
Qin Xiao circled the camp, and suddenly heard a very soft sob, frowned, closed his eyes, and quickly heard that the cry came from the big carriage.
He was a little strange, couldn't help approaching, walked to the window, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
The sobbing stopped immediately. Since Qin Xiao knew that there was a woman inside, he stopped crying, so he didn't go and watch. He raised his head and looked at the sky, the star was dazzling, and he stretched out a few steps forward. Suddenly I saw a figure standing next to a car. By the moonlight, I could see clearly that the man in the coarse cloth was actually Liu Wenxuan.
In the middle of the night, Liu Wenxuan didn't even sleep. When he saw this guy, Qin Xiao felt that his scalp was a little numb and turned to leave. He only heard Liu Wenxuan say, "Thank you." He didn't turn his head.
Seeing him looking up at the sky, Qin Xiao immediately looked down at a thing in his hand. Qin Xiao was a little strange and couldn't help approaching him. He saw Liu Wenxuan holding a thing in both hands. Under the moonlight, the thing appeared With a hint of golden light, I don't know what it is for a while.
A few steps closer, I found that Liu Wenxuan was holding a round copper sheet in both hands. It was just that the copper sheet was densely packed with runes. For a while, he couldn't see what it was, and couldn't help asking: "Liu... .. Leader Liu, what is this?"
Although Liu Wenxuan is only the deputy commander, Qin Xiao understands that as long as Yuan Shangyu is not around, it is best to remove the word "Vice" when addressing him.
"I haven't seen it?" Liu Wenxuan finally glanced at Qin Xiao and said with a smile: "This is a compass, used to detect Feng Shui."
