“Haha, brothers have a clever plan. This will delay time and buy time for our evacuation. www.126shu.com” Yan Long said, “Do you need to ask for advice from the master for this matter?”
“No need to ask for advice!” Zhen Yi’s voice came from beside him, and Zhen Yi put his hands behind him and said, “Xiongtu’s move is also for my Zhen family. In this way, it will not annoy Yuan Xi. After all, the second young master is good at this, and it can also give us time to relieve breath.”
“Master, how are you moving now?” I said.
“It should be fine to clean up the fines and softness before sunset.” Zhen Yi said, “But outside Zhongshan County, the bandits are rampant, what should I do?”
“The bandits are covered by me.” I said with a smile, “I have my own tricks.”
“Since the Xiongtu guarantees, I will be relieved.”
At sunset, the moving convoy was ready. Cheng Yaojin Pioneer and I were anxious to move, so many big objects were given up.
After finishing the carriage, it was like a caravan, setting off smoothly. At this time, there was a carriage made of eight people hidden in the caravan, and the Zhen family members were all sitting there. In this way, the Zhen family’s moving was turned into a caravan transporting together, which seemed less eye-catching.
Zhen Yi said to me, “Let’s go!”
After a day of practice, I dare not say that I can ride a horse, but I have mastered the basic points, so the horse also started trotting for a while and led the convoy forward slowly.
We all came to the city gate, but unfortunately, I met Lord Wang. Lord Wang smiled strangely and said, “Master Zhen, it’s so late, are you still transporting goods?”
“So it’s Lord Wang!” Zhen Yi walked over intimately and said with a smile, “Yes, there’s nothing we can do. This batch of goods must be arrived in Li County before noon tomorrow, so I took most of my subordinates to transport them.”
“But Li County is not far away. It’s not very safe to drive this night.” Lord Wang said with his eyes narrowed.
“This…” Zhen Yi smiled and couldn’t speak.
I immediately went over and said, “Mr. Wang, you don’t know that that is our big customer. If we do a good job with him, our business group will have a lot better life in the future. If it rains tomorrow, our affairs will be delayed, so we will set off early just in case.”
“So that’s it. I thought Mr. Zhen was so anxious to go to Shangcai to be the county magistrate.” Lord Wang said brightly.
Zhen Yi sighed: “Shangcai is naturally going to go, but it’s not now. I’m also a businessman, so before going to Shangcai, I plan to prepare the work at hand. After all, everything has to be planned for the future!”
Lord Wang nodded: “This is reasonable. The county magistrate said that if we go to deliver goods, it is better for the officers and soldiers from Zhongshan to escort them. I would not dare to rob the officers and soldiers of the army. Xiongtu went back to chat with the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that he really wanted to discuss the general trend of the world with Xiongtu!”
Zhen Yi looked at me and said, “Mr. Wang, after we finish this matter, let Xiongtu come back and talk to the county magistrate?”
Lord Wang was displeased: “Master Zhen, do you want the county magistrate to come and wait for you specifically?”
After Lord Wang finished speaking, the atmosphere around him became more tense than ever before, and the officers and soldiers around him also looked at us, as if they were not planning to let us go.
The atmosphere of the carriage convoy became restless, and Cheng Yaojin and Zhen Xiao both looked at me one after another.
I knew I should have saved the situation, and my eyes turned and said, “Mr. Wang, are you willing to talk?”
“Okay!” Lord Wang agreed.
When I arrived in a secluded place, Lord Wang laughed and said, “Xiongtu, what do you have to say?”
I looked at Lord Wang’s eyes and gritted my teeth to prepare for a gamble. At this time, I had just taken a reward from Mr. Zhen, which was also from Cheng Yaojin and I, totaling fifty taels of silver. In this era of shortage of supplies, this was already a huge sum of money. I said, “Mr. Wang, you don’t know…”
I took out the silver, and Lord Wang’s eyes showed greed and coughed quickly.
I said again, “This escort is crucial to Mr. Lin.”
