The territory of Huangzhou is shaped like a horizontal gourd on the map of Dayong, with towering mountains to the north and Dan Lake, the largest lake in the northern part of Dayong, to the south.
The Dan River, which was mentioned many times by the people of Hanjia Village before, is a river that flows from north to south and flows into Dan Lake. It is located right in the middle of this inverted gourd.
"Your father and his companions set out early and rode at full speed all the way. They should have reached Dan River by now." I wonder if the famine in Dan River will affect the journey.
"Mom, there are still so many people following us." Wei Yunlan comforted her, "And they are riding fast all the way. Even if the deserters want to stop them, they can't."
Early in the morning, Wei Maolin set out with Steward Wang and Dong Da. In addition to these two, half of the Tianshu Pavilion guards followed them.
Wei Yunlan said: "When Dad arrives at Beiguan safely, Guard Pei will send a message to tell us."
The red-footed falcon controlled by Yu Qi and Pei Hu flies very fast. Taking into account the time on the journey, there will be news before dark the next day at the latest.
Gao's expression relaxed a little after hearing this, and she nodded and said, "We should have passed the Dan River by then. It just so happens that your father knows about the situation in Beiguan, so we can make more preparations before we arrive at Beiguan."
Perhaps because the carriages were left behind, although the team suddenly lost nearly ten people, it did not seem to have changed much.
In addition to the Wei family's original five horse-drawn carriages, they added five more after coming out of Xiakou County. In addition to the things purchased in Hanjia Village and Xiakou County, they also carried four full carts of grain.
Before passing the Dan River, Wei Yunlan decided to stop in Lishui County ahead.
Cheng Yue'e stayed in the caravan with her two children, Gao took Wei Mingxuan to the pawnshop to inquire about the latest market conditions in Huangzhou, and Wei Yunlan took her three maids, as well as Tang Chuan, Tang Hai and their party, and drove four horse-drawn carriages carrying grain into the city.
He rented a courtyard near the city gate, at the corner of the alley, and ordered Tang Chuan, Tang Hai and their brothers to transport the grain on the cart into the house.
Such a batch of grain would never be sold in Xiakou County, but Lishui County is only a hundred miles away from Xiakou County. Tang Chuan frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Boss, if we sell the grain here, will the buyer be suspicious? Or... will someone with ulterior motives think of the batch of grain lost in Xiakou County?"
"No." Wei Yunlan said firmly.
Because she is the buyer.
This batch of grain has a total of eighty stone. According to the current price in the city, Wei Yunlan has to give Tang Chuan and others one hundred and sixty taels of silver.
"After you go to Beiguan to get acquainted with the people there, you will return to Yandu Gorge and deliver the remaining food. You can then unload the food here and then deliver the goods here to Beiguan."
"Yes." Tang Chuan and Tang Hai carefully took note of Wei Yunlan's instructions and treated it more seriously.
Although the host did not reveal his origins, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Apart from anything else, just looking at those guards who wanted to "fly into the sky and hide in the ground" made people dare not have the slightest thought of doing anything rash.
The Tang brothers were sent away.
Wei Yunlan asked the maids to wait outside the house, and she waved her sleeves and put all the bags of grain into the space. She looked at the silk and porcelain piled next to the grain and wanted to take out some of them, but then she changed her mind and thought that it would take about half a month before the next delivery of the Tang brothers.
Silk and porcelain are of great value. If no one is left to guard them, they may not be safe.
Just as Wei Yunlan was thinking this, the hand hanging by his side was suddenly nudged twice by Heiyun's wet nose.
She looked down at Heiyun and saw him running forward two steps and coming to the center of the room. He then barked twice at the empty space in front of him, "Woof, woof!"
Wei Yunlan didn't react to what it meant at first.
But he felt that in the space, the two pieces of defective silk piled in the corner were covered with a layer of light mist.
In a flash, he seemed to understand what the black cloud meant.
"Do you want to take out these two pieces of silk?"
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he saw the two pieces of silk appear on the ground in front of Heiyun.
Wei Yunlan widened his eyes in surprise, and an incredible, yet seemingly reasonable thought emerged in his mind.
To confirm this guess, she said to Heiyun: "You stay here, I'll go out and try to stay away from you!"
He hurriedly ran out of the house and closed the door from the outside. Facing the puzzled gazes of Ningshuang, Tingxue and the other two, Wei Yunlan went out of the courtyard and stood outside the gate. Then he sank his consciousness into space, looked at a wooden box filled with porcelain and thought of taking the box to Heiyun.
As he was reciting the poem, the box disappeared.
Wei Yunlan was delighted and quickly returned to the house. The box that disappeared from the space was right in the middle of the room. Heiyun was squatting next to the box and when he saw her come in, he kept wagging his tail.
There are many more surprises.
When Wei Yunlan asked, "Can you collect the things outside into the space?"
Heiyun raised his right front leg and placed it on the wooden box. The wooden box then disappeared from his sight and returned to the space.
"It actually works like this!" Wei Yunlan was amazed. The man and the dog tried it in the house for a long time.
After many experiments, Wei Yunlan confirmed that the black cloud could put back the things that were originally in the space. However, whether taking things away or putting new things into the space, these things would be covered by a layer of fog, and she would need to confirm in her heart before they would disappear or appear in the space.
But no matter what, this is a pleasant surprise!
Things in the space can also be taken and placed through the black cloud, which can greatly avoid a lot of trouble.
It was like just now she was still thinking about how to find time to leave the team for a few days to take out the silk and porcelain separately, but now she doesn't need to think about this problem at all.
"Heiyun, you are really my lucky star." Wei Yunlan sighed while holding the dog's head.
At the same time, several people from Tianshu Pavilion who stayed behind beside the convoy received a secret letter from the west.
After reading the contents of the letter, Feng Ping's face changed drastically. He avoided others and said indignantly in a low voice, "Master, you have already given up that position and left the capital, but they are still unwilling to let you go."
To get to Tanzhou, you need to take a water route.
What was mentioned in the secret letter was the accidental shipwreck of the ship that King You was on two days ago!
There aren't so many accidents. You can tell with a little guessing that someone did it on purpose.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no major disaster occurred.
Fortunately, the master had changed his appearance and was no longer on that ship.
However, if they hadn't met Miss Wei and her group in Suizhou, they would have probably returned to the team heading to Tanzhou by now...
Thinking of this, Feng Ping sighed: "Thanks to you for deciding to go to Beiguan with Miss Wei. Miss Wei is really a lucky star for you and our Tianshu Pavilion!"
