Volume 1: Storm in the Western Regions, Chapter 42: Nothing to do today(1/2)

Ever since entering this royal city, troubles have happened one after another and never stopped...so much so that now that Zhao Rang saw so many people, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

It wasn't until he and Ye Sanniang spent thirty taels of silver to buy three good horses that Zhao Rang still felt a little unreal while holding the reins in his hands.

There were so many things going on, and the sudden calm made him feel a little uncomfortable...

People are indeed cheap!

When I have nothing to do, I feel bored and always want to find excitement and fun. When there are too many things to do, I feel irritated... I wish I could hide as far away as possible!

Then I hit the wall back and forth between these two moods, and in the end it was all about myself!

When she lazily led the horse back to the door of Ye Sanniang's courtyard, Yuan Kexin heard the noise and opened the door.

She had already packed her things and handed the large and small packages to Zhao Rang, asking him to fasten them behind the saddle.

Ye Sanniang looked at Yuan Kexin's packed salute, turned around and walked into the house, took several jars of wine from the cupboard, carried them in a net bag, and hung them together next to the saddle.

"Spring in the Western Region?"

Zhao Rang asked.

“Dawei’s wine!”

Zhao Rang was a little disappointed when he heard this.

Ye Sanniang put her hand on his forehead and said:

"Little guy! Don't you know the Spring of the Western Region! This wine is very rare in Dawei, but there are still many good wines in the world!"

Zhao Rang pouted and said:

"I think Western Spring is delicious, especially after it's chilled, the taste is really amazing!"

Ye Sanniang sneered:

"How many years have you lived? Can you tell the difference between good and bad?"

"Sister, I can't tell the difference even at this age. Don't pretend to be young and mature in front of me in the future. I don't like it!"

Zhao Rang was amused by these words. Let’s not talk about whether he was pretending or not. Why should he like her if he did it? This is simply unreasonable! After fixing the last baggage with a belt, he retorted:

"What's the point of pretending? I still don't know how old you are!"

After hearing this, Ye Sanniang put her hands on her hips and said:

"Did you know that a girl has two taboos that no one else can ask unless she wants to say it herself?"

Zhao Rang vaguely thought of something, but before he could speak, Yuan Kexin said in a preaching tone:

"The first is age, the second is weight!"

Ye Sanniang smiled and said:

"My good sister is right!"

Zhao Rang couldn't help but shook his head... I thought that Yuan Kexin had been very wary of Ye Sanniang before, but now they chatted with each other a little bit, but they were as nice as real sisters!

To sum it up in two words: so hypocritical!

Thinking about it again, I would feel uncomfortable along the way... because he would never be able to speak with two mouths.

Instead of arguing endlessly, it is better to bow down as soon as possible, so Zhao Rang bowed his hands to the two of them and said:

"The two girls are in their prime, and their figures are graceful. They are as bright as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon!"

It's always good to be obedient, and it's best to wear high hats. After hearing Zhao Rang's compliments, the two girls were immediately elated, but they still said with airs:

"Don't say it nice, you have to think this way in your heart!"

Zhao nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, and then the three of them got on their horses and prepared to set off.

Yuan Kexin was about to take out a map to make some correspondence, but was stopped by Ye Sanniang:

"No need to bother, just follow me!"

Zhao Rang asked:

"Do you know the way?"

Ye Sanniang replied:

“Not only do I know them, I’ve also been there!”

Zhao Rang secretly smacked his tongue.

He always felt that he had traveled all over the world and had a lot of experience. Even if he was not a complete veteran, he was more than enough! But when he was with Ye Sanniang, he was really like a newborn baby.

What the difference.

This gap in experience and realm cannot be made up in a short period of time. I can only accumulate it slowly by myself. No wonder I can't get favors from her every time and can't take advantage of her.

But the premise of this accumulation is: don’t die!

When you die, you know that everything is in vain.

Before someone dies, he can "show his son". Before he dies, he wants to say a few pretensely profound words to future generations, but no one will listen...

According to what Yuan Mingkong left for her sister, he would eventually go to the summer pasture of the Gongchen tribe where the fourth prince Anzuo was located - Luxin Grassland. But for some unknown reason, he set the meeting place at Chagan Toro

build.

From the map, this place is quite interesting!

Because it is located right at the junction of the two major tribes, Hanxing and Gongchen, and is still more than 200 miles away from both sides.

Such a place reminded Zhao Rang of the city built by the Western Region Merchant Alliance. Like Chagan Toluogai, it was located between Yangguan and King Lanmo City.

Needless to say what happened in that city. Now that they were going to such a place again, Zhao Rang felt his heart tightening just thinking about it...

But since Ye Sanniang said that she had been there, she must have some understanding, so that she would not be blinded, and she could be relied upon.

As soon as she got on the horse, Ye Sanniang said nothing again.

It's not that she has nothing to say, it's that her mouth has been drinking and she has no room to speak.

As the saying goes: One person doesn't drink, two people don't play with money.

But Zhao Rang can quite understand Ye Sanniang's thoughts at the moment.

When a person drinks, what he drinks is not wine, but a state of mind and a kind of relief.

Although she has quite a reputation in Yangguan and even in Dawei and the Western Regions, she is not trapped in this name. She has probably never had such a comfortable and open freedom of rein for a long time.

Drinking alone like this, the wine becomes a side dish, and your own emotions are the protagonist. After a few sips, you feel that the world is very beautiful, you feel love when you look at the flowers, and you feel happy when you look at the trees.

Ye Sanniang drank about one stick of incense before she stopped drinking. Seeing that Zhao Rang was looking at her, she handed over the wine jar.

"I don't drink!"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Rang said:

"I see you're enjoying it!"

Ye Sanniang wiped her lips and said:

"This is just enough. If you drink more, you won't be so happy."

"But are you looking at me enjoying it, or are you waiting for me to tell you about Chagan Tologai after I finish drinking?"

When Zhao Rang saw that his thoughts were revealed by Ye Sanniang, he did not hide anything anymore and said politely:

"Please ask the boss lady for advice!"

Ye Sanniang breathed out the smell of alcohol and did not speak for a long time.

The reason why wine makes people feel good is because it can slow down your brain. So Ye Sanniang thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know where to start, so she changed her words:

"Why don't you ask and I'll answer. This will save me the trouble of talking about one thing and forgetting the other."

This is a good idea. After hearing this, Yuan Kexin's eyes lit up and she asked:

"I saw on the map that Chagan Tologai is deep in Daban. Why is there a city in such a place? Are there many people?"

This question is not difficult to answer. Ye Sanniang made a few volley gestures and the two of them understood.

Among the countries in the Western Region, the only one bordering Yangguan is the Lanmo Kingdom of the Upper Four Kingdoms. However, with the power of one country, it is simply unable to meet the demand for trade with Dawei.

However, due to the vast and desolate geographical environment of the Western Regions, the routes that caravans can take have basically been fixed and have not changed for hundreds of years. After all, in the vast Gobi desert, it is extremely difficult to develop a new route.

It will cost a lot of money and a lot of people will die.

There were originally only twenty or thirty households of mountain residents in Chagan Tologai. These people did not herd animals or farm, but relied entirely on hunting for a living.

Since the beginning of trade between Dawei and the Western Regions, Daban has become the closest route for other countries in the Western Regions, except Lanmo, to the Shang Alliance and Yangguan. Especially in the middle of Daban, there are still mountain people living there.

, can be used as a transit resting place.

As long as there are people, there will be needs and business will come.

Over time, this small place deep in Daban became lively.

The mountain people who relied on the mountains in the past also put down their hunting gear, picked up their abacus, transformed their homes into wine shops and inns, and started doing business comfortably.
