Qin Xiao had a smile on his face, but he knew why Dou's shopkeeper was worried.
The two Tian Dou were obviously regular customers over the Tang Dynasty. The White Wolf King sent people to burn down the Tang Dynasty City and captured many people. This news was not blocked. Those who ran back from there must have reported the news, and Tian Of course both Dou are clear.
Although the Tian Dou and the two have already made preparations for this time, but the bad news came, it is common sense that the plan for this time must be canceled immediately.
However, Yuwen Chengchao had to use the caravan as a cover and went to Wutu to find out exactly what happened.
The Tian Dou and his family were reluctant, but in the face of Yu Wen's family, they had no choice. If they couldn't get out of Yu Wen's house this time, then the business of Tian Dou's two would be successful.
Dou shopkeeper looked bitter, apparently worried that he would encounter an unexpected situation after exiting the customs.
"The two rest assured that this time the eldest son will lead the team personally, it will not be a problem." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Since we are instructed to exit the customs, no matter what the circumstances, at least we will protect the two."
Tian shopkeeper heard the words and immediately stepped forward, holding Qin Xiao's wrist and sighed: "Wang Qixiao, you say this, I really feel at ease. On the way, we all rely on you to take care of it."
The shopkeeper Dou also stepped forward and said, "There is a King Wang riding school."
Ning Zhifeng looked up at the sky and said, "Several, let's go to the backyard first. It should be ready over there."
Several people walked to the backyard. Qin Xiao saw the incense altar in the courtyard at a glance. Fatty fish and others were in the courtyard. Yu Wencheng was standing beside the incense altar and was whispering to Liu Wenxuan.
Liu Wenxuan was wearing a coarse clothed shirt. If Qin Xiao didn't know his identity, at first glance, it would look like the teacher of a college.
As soon as Qin Xiao and others came in, everyone looked over, and Yu Wencheng nodded toward Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao arched his hands and looked at Liu Wenxuan, which just met Liu Wenxuan's four eyes, 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 arched his hand.
Every time a business and trade company goes out of customs, in order to seek a safe journey, an incense altar will be set up to worship.
It didn't take long for many people to gather in the yard, some familiar with Qin Xiao, and some who had never seen before.
Ning Zhifeng introduced several important people for Qin Xiao. One of them was the leader of the trade bank guard, called Ling Zixiao. Before the trade bank caravan came out, most of them were led by him. This person is over forty years old. See Relatively old and Shen, listening to Ning Zhifeng's introduction, Ling Zixiao is very familiar with the situation outside the customs, and can almost be said to be the best guide for the caravan's trip.
The priest is the trader of the trade bank. In fact, behind this Longhe trade bank is the Yuwen master, and the trader banker is also the servant of the Yuwen master.
Burning incense and offering wine, everyone worshipped the heaven and earth according to the rules. Everyone on the scene drank a bowl of wine, and then the trader shopkeeper took off a rolled flag from the altar and opened it. It was "Longhe" II Qin Xiao knew that this should be the flag of the caravan. With this flag, you can let others know that this is the caravan of the Longhe Trading Bank.
People who are new to this may not know the key, but Qin Xiao is clever and knows that the flag of Longhe Trading Company has come out. At least in the territory of Xiling, everyone knows that this is the Yuwen family. Those mountain bandits and horse thieves saw this flag. Unless you really don’t want to live anymore, you dare not dare to grab the caravans of Yuwenjia.
The trader shopkeeper gave the flag to both hands with Yuwen Chengchao. Yuwen Chengchao took the flag and turned back to the fat fish, saying: "Hang the flag!"
The fat fish also took the flag very carefully and turned away.
"I hope that everything will be safe and smooth this time." Yu Wencheng said aloud: "After departure, everything will be done in accordance with the rules. Everyone knows the rules, and I won’t say much. If anyone breaks the rules, I can’t blame me. ruthless."
Qin Xiao thought that you know the rules, but I have never been out of the customs. I don’t know anything about the rules in the caravan.
In addition to trading houses, Yuwen Chengchao led a carriage in an alley. The porter and driver were all ready, and the fat fish had inserted that flag in the front car.
At this time, Qin Xiao looked over and heard the sound of a car rolling child not far away. I saw a big carriage coming here. This carriage is different from the twenty carriages in front. Although the carriage is not gorgeous, the carriage is very spacious, let alone five or six people.
Qin Xiao is a little strange, thinking that someone will go in a carriage?
Yuwen Chengchao was accustomed to riding horses and traveled as a guardian. It was naturally impossible to ride in a carriage. Qin Xiao swept around and found that the two shopkeepers of Tian Dou seemed to have their own mounts, which did not seem to be a carriage Look.
It was strange in his heart that the carriage had stopped. The driver jumped off the carriage and ran to the edge of Yu Wencheng. He whispered a few words. Yu Wencheng nodded slightly, not much to say.
"It's a woman in the car." Ning Zhifeng, who was standing by Qin Xiao, clearly saw Qin Xiao's doubts and whispered close to Qin Xiao's ear: "The eldest son is going to deal with the troubles of the Tang Dynasty city, so he must be with Contact with the White Wolf King. We have known for a long time that the White Wolf King likes female sex, so the eldest son has prepared a few beautiful women and will give it to the White Wolf King when the opportunity arises."
Qin Xiao realized this.
He sighed in his heart that in this world, women are like goods and can be given to each other as gifts.
Although Yuwen Chengchao was magnificent, he was a doorman after all, and in his eyes, he would not look at women with a high eye.
Suddenly heard a gong, Yuwen Chengchao finally said: "It's time to go."
Everyone was on their own, and when they were on the horse, Geng Shao and others under Qin Xiao's hands were obviously neat and straight, which was obviously stronger than the bodyguards of the dozen trade houses.
The caravan is up and down, there are nearly a hundred people, the team is not small.
Yuwen Chengchao did not take the lead, but let the trader bodyguard leader Ling Zixiao take a few bodyguards to the forefront, while Qin Xiao took Baihuying Geng Shao and others behind the palace.
After the team started, it was already bright.
Walking around the city, people on both sides occasionally glanced, but most people didn't take it seriously.
There are caravans in Fengganfu City every year, and there are many more magnificent teams than this time, so people are commonplace and don’t find it strange.
Ning Zhifeng said that the horse-drawn carriage was at the rear of the team, with the truck team in front, Yu Wencheng was walking in the middle, Tian Dou's two shopkeepers followed Yu Wencheng, and the fat fish and others were on the wings of the team.
The accompanying guards are cavalry, so I don’t worry that the enemy will attack from both wings. After all, once the enemy is found, the cavalry can rush to the two wings at any time. And in Xiling, everyone is still very relaxed. After all, the flag of the Yuwen family is not just Just bluffing.
The Longhe Caravan came out of Fenggan Mansion and headed westward.
Qin Xiao looked far and wide, with boundless views. The team may still have some scale in the city, but after leaving the city, between the world and the earth, it seemed extremely small, and the sea was a drop.
In his heart, he couldn't help but think, if Wu Tuo and Datang really get along well, and the two sides trade and gain each other's profits, that might well be a good thing.
Through such trade, businessmen can not only obtain huge profits, but also pass on their respective customs and cultures. Drivers, footmen, and even bodyguards can all live on it, which should be said to be the result of great joy.
But he knows that after the news of the burning of Chinatown, before things are clear, I am afraid that there will not be any caravans going out in Guannei. Perhaps the caravan of Longhe Trading Bank is the only team ready to leave the country.
Qin Xiao felt very strange about what happened in the Tang Dynasty, but he knew nothing about the situation there, and he was even stranger to the white shopkeeper in the Maple Leaf Tower who was arrested. I can't think of breaking my head.
But Qin Xiao was very sure.
The white shopkeeper at Maple Leaf House can never be as simple as the shopkeeper at the restaurant.
Yu Wenjia even sent Yu Wencheng towards the eldest son to deal with the matter. It can also be seen that he was very concerned about the white shopkeeper, and Qin Xiao also knew from their mouths that the white shopkeeper was the confidant of Changyi’s old Hou Ye. Certain status, such an important person, staying in Wutu Khanate for several years, of course, is not simple.
He believes that the white shopkeeper is likely to use the maple leaf tower as a cover. In fact, Yu Wen's eyes and ears are arranged in Wutu Khanate. The biggest task is to pay attention to the movement of Wu Tu Khanate and report to Yu Wen Jia at any time.
Although the Xiling Gate Valves acted as prestige and blessings in Xiling, they had extremely terrifying control over this land, but Qin Xiao also understood that the ambitious Wu Tuo New Khan King Narusheng Brother must be the one shrouded in the heart of Xiling Gate Valves. Group shadow.
The Xiling Gate Valve must always pay attention to the movement of the Wutu Khanate to prepare for the response.
Among the ranks, Liu Wenxuan was the most noticeable to Qin Xiao.
Liu Wenxuan is the deputy commander of Baihuying. According to the truth, since he follows the team westward, the position of the deputy commander should be him. Others are different, wearing coarse clothes and riding a very ordinary horse, which is very inconspicuous in the team.
Riding horses in the team, Liu Wenxuan looked left and right from time to time, and seemed to be admiring the scenery along the way. This westbound trip, everyone had a responsibility. 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 be undertaking an unknown task this time.
The caravan traveled for a whole day in a hurry. At night, they found a place with a slightly higher terrain for camping. There was a small stream nearby, which could just add water.
Yuwen Chengchao instructed the team to encircle the carriage and immediately formed a barrier. The crowd set up a tent in the circle and came over to find Qin Xiao, so that Qin Xiao would divide more than 20 guards into two shifts. Take turns on duty at night.
There are a lot of trucks. After being enclosed, there is a large open space in the middle. It is very easy to set up ten tents.
A dozen or so porters live in a tent, as long as they can sleep.
There are also handymen responsible for feeding horses in the team. When everyone eats dry food, several handymen are to feed the horses separately.
However, Qin Xiao’s Black Tyrant is a maverick. The handymen dare not get close, and Qin Xiao can only feed himself.
The carriage was parked in the corner, and no one was bothering.
Qin Xiao voluntarily asked to stay in the middle of the night, and ordered Geng Shao and others to guard around. Everyone bowed his sword and did not relax because he was still in Xiling.
It was quiet at night, and most people in the camp had fallen asleep.
Qin Xiao circled around the camp, and suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound, frowned, closed his eyes, and soon heard it. The cry came from the carriage.
He was a little strange, could not help but approached the past, walked to the window and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
The sobbing stopped immediately. Since Qin Xiao knew that it was a woman, she stopped crying and stopped looking at it. She looked up and looked at the sky, Ye Lang stared, stretched out, and walked forward a few steps, Suddenly I saw a figure standing by a car. By the moonlight, I could see clearly the man's coarse clothes. It was Liu Wenxuan.
In the middle of the night, there was no one in Liu Wenxuan. As soon as he saw this guy, Qin Xiao felt that his scalp was a little numb and turned to leave. He only heard Liu Wenxuan said: "It's hard." The head didn't turn around.
Qin Xiao saw him looking up at the sky, and then looked down at a thing in his hand. Qin Xiao was a little strange, he couldn't help but approached the past, and saw Liu Wenxuan holding a thing in his hands. Under the moonlight, the thing was panic. With a hint of golden light, I didn't know what it was for a while.
A few steps closer, only to find that Liu Wenxuan was holding a round copper piece in both hands, but the copper piece was densely covered with runes. .. Commander Liu, what is this?"
Although Liu Wenxuan is only the deputy commander, Qin Xiao understands that as long as Yuan Shangyu is not on the side, it is best to remove the word "deputy" when it is called.
"Have you never seen it?" Liu Wenxuan finally glanced at Qin Xiao and smiled: "This is a compass, used to detect Feng Shui."
