Chapter 315 Being taken away by force
Just as Chahan was about to lose his temper, Luo Xiao quickly apologized. However, the teapot was not placed firmly, and when the hot water was about to pour onto Chahan's clothes, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
I even forgot to dodge.
At this moment, a teacup flew past quickly with such force that the teapot also flew away and landed on the other side of the chair.
Luo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
I wanted to teach this guy a lesson because I didn't hold the teacup steady, but the teapot was a real surprise.
Chahan looked over in a daze. Madam Ming had moved the teacup so quickly!
"Are you okay?" Luo Xiao waved in front of him. Chahan reacted and looked at him with a somewhat displeased expression.
This child is too unstable.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ming reacted quickly just now.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." Luo Xiao knew that he almost got into trouble again, but it was because this man looked down on his mother in his words and deeds.
Why does he look down on it?
It was all thanks to my mother just now.
Chahan waved his hand. He was not seriously injured, but his clothes were soaked and uncomfortable to wear.
Chahan took his leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at Zhu Mingqing, wanting to say something but hesitant, and finally uttered two words: "Thank you!"
After the man left, Luo Xiao also came to his mother to apologize. Zhu Mingqing didn't say anything. After all, they had come to the frontier, and there were many horse merchants, so there was no shortage of Chahan.
"Let's go out for a walk together in the afternoon."
Luo Xiao was happy that his mother did not blame him and immediately agreed.
However, after lunch, the two still failed to leave smoothly.
Because Mr. Wan was quite helpless when he learned about what happened in the morning.
"Madam Ming, Chahan is indeed a bit arrogant, but he is also quite righteous. If you don't want to do business with him, I can introduce you to other horse traders!"
Zhu Mingqing thought for a moment and asked, "How far is the Chalan tribe from here?"
Now they are in a small tribe that has just entered the northern border, and they are still several days away from the royal court. The Charan tribe should not be far from the royal court either.
Master Wan: "Madam, do you want to do business with the Charan tribe?"
Zhu Mingqing: "You can contact him. If it's inconvenient for Master Wan, then forget it."
Master Wan shook his head. "It's not inconvenient. Chahan is actually from the Chalan Department. However, the person who came here before was Cha Kejue, the eldest son of the Chalan tribe leader. He is cunning and has a bad relationship with the eldest prince of the royal court. I am worried that if Madam really cooperates with him, the loss will be small, but I am afraid that he is coveting the sugar recipe."
Zhu Mingqing understood.
No wonder the other party never mentioned the Charan tribe again.
Now that we are in the other party's territory, we should calm down and investigate a little.
On the second day, Master Wan prepared to continue on his journey, and the Ming family continued to follow.
Chahan originally wanted to go to the door in person to express his gratitude, but he was disappointed. Through the message left by Master Wan, he learned that the other party was heading towards the royal court, and he immediately chased after him.
Originally, it was only two or three days away from the royal court.
The carriage and horses traveled across the endless grassland, with blue sky and white clouds, clear lake water, and herds of sheep encountered from time to time.
Zhu Mingqing also took the opportunity to buy two horses from the master every time, one to put in the fairy palace and one as food for everyone.
That day, after passing through a small tribe, they would reach the royal court area in another two hours.
Master Wan felt a little relieved, but at this moment, a hawk's scream was heard.
Groups of people and horses swarmed in from the front.
When he saw the leader, Master Wan felt that he had relaxed too early!
"Oh no, it's Cha Kejue!"
Zhu Mingqing naturally heard it as well. Judging from the other party's aggressive posture, they might have already set their sights on them!
"Master Wan!" Cha Kejue spoke in poor Central Plains dialect. When he saw the carriages and horses behind the other party, his expression became visibly happy.
Master Wan felt heavy-hearted and stood up to ask the other party what was the matter. If they didn't mind, they still had to hurry on their journey and would definitely visit the Chalan tribe when they returned to Nanxia.
Cha Kejue laughed heartily and said, "My father heard that Master Wan was coming to the frontier again, so he specially ordered me to wait again and invite Master Wan to visit my Chalan tribe!"
As he spoke, he slightly turned sideways, and the people behind him moved and made way for him.
He sat high on the horse, looking as if he was about to head to the Charan tribe immediately.
Master Wan directly said that Wang Ting was waiting for the sugar he brought, but the other party didn't care at all. If the stalemate continued, the other party might use force.
He looked at Mrs. Ming who was silent beside him. She had changed her appearance and dressed as a man.
The other party shook his head and said not to confront him head-on.
Master Wan took a deep breath. Fortunately, no one except Chahan knew that the real owner of the sugar business had also arrived. He just hoped that he could conceal it successfully when he arrived at the Chalan tribe.
Otherwise, Madam Ming and Master Ming will have a difficult road ahead!
Under Cha Kejue's semi-coercion, Master Wan and his party followed the team and went directly to the Chalan tribe.
When Chaerxia, the chief of the Charan tribe and Chakojue's father, learned that his son had successfully brought the person here, a smile appeared on his old face.
He got up and left the tent.
"Master Wan, nice to meet you!"
This is not the first time that Master Wan has met Chalxia. He was present when the royal court distributed sugar shares before.
At that time, I felt that the other party's eyes were full of calculation, and I didn't expect that it would come true now.
But they dared to intercept the goods from the royal court. Did the Charan tribe really want to rebel?
Master Wan did not give the other party a good look, but Chalxia did not get angry. He directly prepared a place for them to live and took care of all the sugar.
"Lord Charsha, this is the goods the royal court wants!" he reminded again.
Chaerxia laughed heartily: "I just invited Master Wan to visit Chalan!"
Since the other party did not accept the challenge, Mr. Wan could not leave even if he wanted to, and could only stay put for the time being.
When I returned to the room, there was still a handle on the door.
Master Wan was restless, knowing that they wanted to force him to take the initiative to cooperate.
But with the royal court around, how could he possibly take the risk of secretly doing sugar business with other tribes!
And Mrs. Ming, I don’t know who is dragging whom down this time.
After nightfall, it became even more lively outside.
Footsteps were heard in front of the tent. After a while, Zhu Mingqing and Luo Xiao came in with food.
Master Wan was extremely surprised and said, "Finally you guys brought food. I was almost starving to death!"
"Master, please forgive me!" Luo Xiao also responded loudly.
Next, Zhu Mingqing magically took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and the two communicated through letters and made arrangements for the future.
After eating and drinking, although Master Wan was worried about whether Madam Ming could safely convey the news to the royal court, this was the only way at the moment.
They were all under surveillance and couldn't leave at all.
But Zhu Mingqing said she had a way, so Master Wan told her how to contact the royal court.
Otherwise, when Chalxia loses his patience, he might even want to kill!
Zhu Mingqing and Luo Xiao share a room.
After returning, Luo Xiao asked quietly: "How can we contact the royal court and ask them to send someone to rescue us?"
If my guess is correct, all of them should be under surveillance.
