Chapter 314 Chahan
She thought the other party was worried about her being in danger: "I came from a wolf pack, so worrying about me is worse than worrying about others!"
This time he also brought along a few maids and servants, including Fen Tao and Lv Liu, in order to give them some training so that they wouldn't have to study in such a fortified house all the time.
A muffled laugh escaped Luo Tingshan's throat. He loosened his arms, allowing Zhu Mingqing to escape as well. He then said something to spoil the mood: "Keep an eye on your daughter. I don't want to hear that I'm going to be a grandmother when I come back!"
Luo Tingshan's face instantly turned black.
"Leave."
Zhu Mingqing jumped on his horse, and several maids and servants immediately followed, and the guards followed closely behind.
Luo Xiao snorted heavily and rode his horse to catch up.
Watching the group of people gradually disappear on the horizon, Luo Tingshan still had no intention of going back.
Jiang Feng didn't dare to urge him.
It wasn't until the wind started to blow that he whispered a reminder.
Luo Tingshan turned around and asked, "Are all the secret guards following us?"
Jiang Feng nodded: "Master, don't worry, Madam will be safe on this journey, everything has been arranged."
Luo Tingshan nodded slightly: "Let's go, we have to get busy next."
The day after Zhu Mingqing left, he met up with Master Wan in Jicheng.
The number of guards at the city gate increased visibly.
But for the common people, life went on as usual, and because of the Ming family's factories, more and more people moved from other towns to Guancheng.
Because of this, Magistrate Wang was impeached by the prefects and county magistrates in the surrounding areas.
But Prince Huai had no time to care about it, nor did he think it was a big deal.
Instead, he praised the other party because Guancheng's tax revenue increased by three percentage points last year.
But Xu Zongzhen, who was in Jicheng, was not in such a good mood.
The prefect of Jicheng is from the Xu family, and he also regards Jicheng as his own territory.
Ever since taking over the troops of Prince Luo in Youzhou, and with the support of the imperial court, General Xu has not felt threatened for a long time.
Even the annual invasion of foreign races from the south was nothing more to him than commanding from a heavily guarded camp, fighting a few small-scale wars, and killing some ordinary people.
However, Concubine Xu suddenly fell seriously ill and died. Before her death, she said that she would send someone to discuss a big business with him. As happy as General Xu was at that time, he is now as anxious.
Could it be that there is another master behind that business, and even the Xu family is not enough to threaten the other party?
When I thought about this, a name suddenly appeared in my mind.
There was clearly no shadow, but Mr. Xu scared himself to death.
Mr. Wan was afraid that the other party would use the same trick again, so he sent people to investigate first. He was surprised to find that everything was normal.
The secret guard naturally found out the real news.
Even if Zhu Mingqing was beaten to death, he would never have thought that this man would be frightened to death.
It seems that the other party is really not very courageous.
Because he had to take a small road out of the customs, Zhu Mingqing did not have time to stroll around Jicheng, otherwise he would have a clearer understanding of Xuzong Town.
On the last noon before entering the forest, Master Wan ordered the team to stop and rest.
He came to Madam Ming and gave her a heads-up: "The mountain road ahead is rugged and will be even more difficult to walk on. Madam, you have lived a life of luxury, so I'm afraid you will suffer."
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "There's no need to delay your journey because of me. Master Wan can continue on his journey as planned."
"This..." Master Wan hesitated. You know, when he first went outside the Great Wall and saw foreigners all around, he was very nervous all the way.
Seeing that the other person's expression did not seem fake, and thinking that she was a woman of her age, she dared to go to the northern frontier alone, which was commendable.
"Then after lunch, let's not rest and set off directly. It would be better if we could reach the cave before dark, otherwise there might be wolves out at night!"
Two hours later, the sun set in the west and gradually disappeared into the clouds.
After a day's journey, I can finally take a rest.
This cave was also surprisingly large. All the carriages were pulled in, and the entrance was blocked with large stones and sprinkled with medicinal powder to prevent wild animals from appearing.
Dinner was ready here. Master Wan couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he smelled the aroma of food in the air.
When the Ming family travels, even the food is prepared so completely.
Look at the delicious fish, meat, cakes and fruits over there, and then look at the dry bread in your hand.
Master Wan was envious.
Maybe the look in his eyes was too intense, so even the prickly Luo Xiao noticed it: "Uncle Wan, do you want to eat?"
Master Wan immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Master Ming. Once we get outside the Great Wall, Uncle Wan will take you out for some wine and some meat. It will definitely be a unique delicacy."
Luo Xiao watched as the other party consumed almost half of the food. He thought he was eating too much.
"Burp~"
Master Wan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's so delicious, it's almost as good as the food at Huaxianglou."
Luo Xiao complained in his heart: This is made with Huaxianglou’s recipe!
Although the journey was not easy, he brought everything he needed in order to avoid suffering from hunger and heat on the road of exile.
In the following days, because the route was a small path through the mountains and forests, the secret guards would catch a few prey every day at mealtime.
Mr. Wan, who used to have to eat only coarse food on the road, now feels that the days of traveling with the Ming family are the happiest time since he started doing business.
It took three days to cross Dali Mountain.
To the west of Dali Mountain is the territory outside the Great Wall, which is also a natural barrier to Southern Xia.
The group was tired from the journey, and after coming down the mountain they traveled for another day before arriving at Mr. Wan's house outside the Great Wall.
"Our house is simple, let's rest for two days first. The day after tomorrow is the time we agreed to meet the horse merchant." Master Wan said to Zhu Mingqing.
"Thank you, Master Wan." Zhu Mingqing said politely.
Two days later.
The group had already rested well.
That day, Mr. Wan led a middle-aged fat man into the yard.
"Chahan, this is a big business, so you must not underestimate the other party!" Master Wan warned worriedly.
Chahan is a loyal horse trader from the Chalan tribe, but because they have known each other for a long time, he also knows that the other party despises women's temper.
I'm afraid of offending Madam Ming, because the loss would be a huge loss.
Mr. Wan had a hunch that the Ming family would not buy horses only once.
Chahan didn't take it to heart and laughed, "I understand."
He agreed very well, but when he saw Zhu Mingqing, Chahan still unconsciously showed contempt.
Zhu Mingqing certainly noticed it, but there was no expression on his face. Perhaps because Master Wan was present, the middle-aged man named Chahan did not say anything excessive.
But business is all about negotiation.
When the other party came over for the second time, Mr. Wan also went to busy himself with his sugar business.
At this time, there were only Cha Han, Luo Xiao and Zhu Mingqing in the room.
On the table was the tea that the maid had just brought. Chahan savored it slowly without saying a word.
When it comes to patience, Zhu Mingqing is certainly not afraid.
This made Chahan curious, and he looked at the other person from time to time.
After a while, he chuckled and said, "Madam Ming, I heard that you want to buy a horse. The horses I have in Chahan are all hot-tempered. I'm afraid that you, a woman, can't control them!"
Luo Xiao was furious when he heard this, but his mother didn't say anything. He rolled his eyes, brought out the steaming teapot, and poured a cup for the other person: "Come, have some tea!"
Chahan didn't know, he actually liked the taste of the new tea, so he picked it up directly.
"hiss--"
My hands were scalded, hot water splashed all over my body, and the teacup shattered to the ground!
