Qin Xiao has a smile on his face, but he also knows why shopkeeper Dou is worried.
Tian Dou and his family are obviously regular visitors to Chinatown. The White Wolf King sent people to burn down Chinatown and took many people away. The news was not blocked. Those who ran back must have reported the news. , And Tian Dou and his family are of course also aware.
Although the Tian Dou and his family had already made preparations for the exit this time, bad news came. Generally speaking, the plan for this exit will be cancelled immediately.
However, Yuwen Chengchao had to use the caravan to travel as a cover and went to Wutuo to find out what happened.
Even if the Tian Dou's family are unwilling, but facing Yuwen's family, they have nothing to do. If they can't leave the customs according to Yuwen's intention this time, then the Tian Dou's family's business will be done.
Treasurer Dou looked miserable, apparently worried that he would encounter accidents after leaving the customs.
"Don't worry, you guys will lead the team personally this time, 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 both of them."
When shopkeeper Tian heard the words, 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. "
The shopkeeper Dou also stepped forward and said: "There is King Lao riding the school."
Ning Zhifeng looked up at the sky, and said: "Several people, let's go to the backyard first, there should be ready."
A few people came to the backyard. Qin Xiao saw the incense altar in the courtyard at a glance. Fat fish and others were in the courtyard. Yu Wencheng was standing by 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's eyes, although Liu Wenxuan's face was also light. Smiled, but Qin Xiao always felt that there was a strange air in this person, and he also bowed his hands.
Every time the trade company leaves customs, for a safe journey, an incense altar is set up to worship.
It didn't take long for many people to gather in the yard, some Qin Xiao was familiar with and some had never seen it 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 four years old. Ten days ago, she looked quite old. Listening to Ning Zhifeng's introduction, Ling Zixiao was very familiar with the situation outside Guan, and could 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, and the shopkeeper of the trading company was the servant of the Yuwen family.
Burning incense and offering wine, everyone followed the rules to worship the heaven and the earth. Everyone at the scene drank a bowl of wine. Then the shopkeeper of the trading house took a rolled up flag from the altar and opened it. With the word "and", Qin Xiao knew that this should be the caravan's team flag. With this flag, you can let others know that this is the caravan of Longhe Trading Company.
Those who are new to this road may not know the key points, but Qin Xiao is smart, knowing that the flag of the Longhe Trading Company is showing up, at least in Xiling, they know that behind this is the Yuwen family, the bandits, horses and thieves. Seeing this flag, unless you really don't want to live, you will 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 Fish, saying: "Hang the flag!"
The fat fish also took the flag very carefully and turned away.
"For this trade, I hope everything goes smoothly." Yuwen Chengchao said solemnly: "After departure, 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 for being 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, suddenly 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 used to pull goods in the front. Although the carriage is not gorgeous, it is very spacious and can hold five or six people.
Qin Xiao was a little strange, wondering if someone else would go in a carriage?
Yuwen Chengchao is used to riding horses and travels as a guard leader. Naturally, it is impossible to ride a carriage. Qin Xiao swept around and found that the two shopkeepers Tian Dou seemed to have their own mounts. It looks like riding a carriage.
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. He approached Qin Xiao's ear and whispered: "The eldest son is going to deal with the troubles in the Tang City. We must come into 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 asked a few beauties to be prepared for the White Wolf King when he had the opportunity."
Qin Xiao understood now.
He sighed in his heart, in this world, women are 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 the horse separately. When they got on the horse, Geng Shao and the others under Qin Xiao's hands were obviously neat and upright. They were obviously better than the dozens of bodyguards in the trading house.
Together, the caravan has nearly a hundred people. The team is not too small.
Yuwen Chengchao did not take the lead, but let Ling Zixiao, the bodyguard leader of the trading house, lead a few bodyguards to the front, 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 take it seriously.
There will be caravans in Fenggan Fucheng every year. 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 on the beauty is at the back of the line. The truck team is in front. Yu Wencheng is walking in the middle. The two shopkeepers Tian Dou are following Yu Wencheng. 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, and in Xiling territory, everyone is still very relaxed, after all, Yuwen’s flag It's not just bluffing.
Longhe Caravan drove out of Fenggan Mansion City, heading west.
Qin Xiaoyao looks around and looks endless. The team may still be somewhat large in the city, but after leaving the city, between the heavens and the earth, it appears extremely small, a drop in the ocean.
He couldn't help but think in his heart that if Wu Tuo and Datang really get along with each other, and the two sides trade each other and each profit from it, that would be a good thing.
Businessmen can not only make huge profits through this kind of trade, but they can also pass on their customs and culture to each other, and 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 knows that after the news of the burning of China’s city, there will be no more caravans in the pass before it becomes clear. Perhaps the caravan at Longhe Trading Company is the only one preparing to leave the pass. Team.
Qin Xiao felt very strange about what happened in China’s city, but 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? , That is too bad to think of.
But Qin Xiao was quite sure in his heart.
The white shopkeeper of Maple Leaf Building is definitely not as simple as the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
Yuwen’s family even dispatched the big young man Yuwenchengchao to deal with the matter. It can be seen that the shopkeeper Bai was very concerned, and Qin Xiao also knew from them before that the shopkeeper Bai was the confidant of the old Master Changyi. The family obviously has a certain status, and it is certainly not easy for such an important person to stay in the Uttarakhand for several years.
He believes that the white shopkeeper is probably using Maple Leaf Tower as a cover, but it is actually Yuwen
The main 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 was domineering in Xiling and had extremely terrifying control over this land, Qin Xiao also understood that the ambitious Utuo new Khan king Nalusheng must be shrouded in Xiling gate clan. A shadow in my heart.
The Xiling gate clan must always pay attention to the movements of the Wutuo Khanate in order to prepare for it.
In the team, the one who caught Qin Xiao's attention most was Liu Wenxuan.
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, but the deputy commander Liu not only did not assume the duties of the deputy commander, but also The clothes are different from others, wearing coarse clothes, riding a very ordinary horse, very inconspicuous in the team.
Riding in the team, Liu Wenxuan looked left and right 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. There was a creek nearby, which just happened to be able to replenish water.
Yuwenchengchao 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 Qin Xiao would be accompanied by more than 20 guards. Two shifts take turns at night.
There are many trucks. After being enclosed, there is a large open space in the middle. It is very easy to set up a dozen tents.
A dozen porters and coachmen live in a tent, as long as they have 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 is a maverick, and the handymen dare not approach, so Qin Xiao can only feed himself.
The big carriage was parked in the corner, and no one was bothered by it.
Qin Xiao voluntarily asked to guard the middle of the night, and ordered Geng Shao and others to guard the surrounding areas. Everyone bowed their backs and slung their knives, not because they were still in Xiling.
It was quiet at night, and 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 was actually from the big carriage Pass it over.
He was a little weird and couldn't help approaching him, 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 to watch. He looked up at the sky, the stars were dazzling, and he stretched out and walked forward. After a few steps, I suddenly saw a figure standing next to a car. Through the moonlight, I could see clearly that the man 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: "Thanks." He didn't turn his head.
Qin Xiao saw him looking up at the sky, and then looked down at one of the things in his hands. 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 shone with a hint of golden light, and I didn't know what it was 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 covered with runes. For a while, he couldn't see what it was, and couldn't help but ask: "Liu ..... Chief 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 calling him.
"Have you not seen it?" Liu Wenxuan finally glanced at Qin Xiao and smiled: "This is a compass, used to detect Feng Shui."
