The caravan passed the border and went straight to the city of Bhotan. Along the way, large numbers of troops could be seen coming and going from time to time. Passing caravans would also be questioned, but as long as they completed the procedures, they could basically be released directly. Shopkeeper Cui is
It was a regular caravan, and the team was all Han Chinese, so it didn't receive too much questioning.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Liu Yu no longer pretended to have a stomachache, and took the initiative to take on the cooking work. In fact, when Liu Yu was at home, he rarely did housework except for practicing martial arts. However, when he was in Xiangyang, Zhou
Mufu's food was excellent, Liu Yu had heard and witnessed it, and although it was badly cooked, it was already a rare delicacy for these guys.
Bian Zhang is a child, and no one cares about him, so he stays in his "comfort zone" as a matter of course. In fact, he stays there to guard Tatjana and Laura, but he can't do this "job"
He was not very reluctant. If Liu Yu hadn't promised to give Fang Tian a painted halberd for him to play with for two days, he wouldn't have been willing to stay in the car.
Taking advantage of the convenience of cooking, Liu Yu also made some food and sent it to the grain truck. However, Tatina was very stubborn and refused to eat it. Liu Yu had stolen the food and she refused to eat it. She happened to have too much food.
Eat something, no matter whether she is hungry or not.
After all this trouble, one day later, Shopkeeper Cui's caravan finally arrived at Beitian City. After leaving Beitian City and walking more than fifty miles northwest, there is the concession. Because it is adjacent to the concession, Beitan has been
It also developed rapidly. The Kangju people were already good at doing business, and now they took advantage of the unique geographical location to open many inns, taverns and brothels in Beitian City. Because the prices here are cheaper than in the concession, passing caravans often
Rest here for a day or two before continuing on your way. Most of these dozen caravans have familiar footholds in the city.[
In order to protect the safety of Ban Tou'er, his mother and his son, Liu Xin stationed 20,000 elite Han men in the city of Beitian, as well as 5,000 flying tiger personal guards. Together with Kang Ju's own army and horses, the place could be said to be heavily guarded. Therefore, he entered
After arriving at the city, it was equivalent to reaching a safe zone. The merchants breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to huddle together to avoid danger. They said goodbye to each other and went to find their places.
Shopkeeper Cui has walked this road many times, and he has stayed in an inn in the city of Beitian. The owner of the inn is a native of Beitian, with a simple and honest face. When he saw Shopkeeper Cui, he was very enthusiastic and quickly welcomed them.
Go in.
The inn is very large and has a backyard specially designed for parking carriages and horses. A waiter had already come over to help drive the carriages in, unharness the horses, and send them to the stables to feed them with fodder.
I was scared all the way and worked hard for such a long time. Shopkeeper Cui was also very generous. He gave each clerk two ounces of money and gave them a day off to have fun in Beitian City. Shopkeeper Cui is very good at budgeting.
It takes half a day's journey to reach the concession. These guys are in their prime of life. As a rule, they are given a day off after delivering the grain. However, the consumption in the concession is much more expensive than here, and at that time, there is no two pennies to spend.
, might as well let them relax now.
For the guys, this is the happiest time in the boring journey. Many people have cheered and rushed out after receiving their money.
Shopkeeper Cui was someone who had been here before, and he watched with amusement as the guys rushed to the streets, each looking for a familiar tavern or brothel.
At this time, the innkeeper came over, said hello, and said with a smile: "Old Cui, it is absolutely safe to leave your things here. Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Shopkeeper Cui knew that the boss was telling the truth. Not to mention that what he was transporting this time was just food. Even if large quantities of porcelain and silk were stored in the backyard, there had never been any problems. Thinking of this, he felt a little itchy.
Rubbing his hands, he turned around and saw that only Gao Lan and Liu Yu were left standing next to the carriage. Bian Zhang was still in his "comfort" and had not gotten off.
Liu Yu thought that shopkeeper Cui was worried about this batch of grain, so he quickly volunteered and said: "Uncle, just go, I'm watching over here!"
Shopkeeper Cui actually wanted to invite Gao Lan to go out with him, but the places he went to were not convenient for Liu Yu. The two brothers Bian Zhang were coming in and out, and they didn't know how to speak. Liu Yu had already taken the initiative to ask to stay, and he immediately got what he wanted and turned to Gao Yu.
Lan said: "General Gao, you are in control of things. Why don't you go with me?"
Gao Lan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. Gao wants to go for a walk on the street by himself. Shopkeeper, please help yourself!"
The three people each had their own thoughts. Shopkeeper Cui saw that the young men were all happy, and he couldn't help himself, but he was embarrassed to act so impatient. Gao Lan thought that the war was approaching, and the Han army in Beitian City said
Maybe there was a shortage of people, so he wanted to join the army and try his luck, but if that didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to return to the concession. Liu Yu had two people hiding in his "comfort place", so how could he dare to leave easily.
Shopkeeper Cui and Gao Lan left the inn one after another. The boss still said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, there really is no need for people to watch here. Why don't you go to the front to rest?"
Liu Yu didn't believe it and asked: "What if it is something valuable and no one has stolen it?"
The boss said proudly: "We are under the rule of King Kang Ju, who dares to be a thief?"
Liu Yu didn't know that King Kang Ju was his half-brother. Seeing the piety in the boss's words, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard that King Kang Ju is just a two or three-year-old baby. Just because of him
Can you scare a thief? Is he worthy of your admiration?"
The boss said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether he is a two-year-old baby or an eighty-year-old man. Even if he is a wooden person, as long as he can make us live a good life, we will worship him! Since our new king
After ascending the throne, the people's lives get better day by day, and the thieves who were rampant in the past have disappeared. If such a king is not worthy, who is?"
Liu Yuruo realized something and laughed at the boss and said: "I have learned a lesson. I must also be loyal to my duty and take care of these grain trucks for Shopkeeper Cui!"
Before Shopkeeper Cui left just now, he did not clearly say that the food did not need to be guarded. The innkeeper stopped trying to persuade him, waved his hand with a smile, and went to work in front of him. Liu Yu looked around and saw no one there.
, then he jumped onto the grain cart.[
Bian Zhang was a child at heart. When he arrived in a new place, he had long wanted to go out on the streets to see the excitement. When he saw Liu Yu getting into the car, he quickly said: "Brother, while there is no one around now, why not let them go and let them go by themselves?"
Come on, let’s go out and have some fun.”
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "Put them in whatever they want! When the time comes, they will be sent to the military camp together with the food. We don't need to tell them, someone will find out their origins!"
Unexpectedly, Tatjana stayed in the concession for a few days. Although she could not fully understand Chinese, she could tell that Liu Yu had a bad tone. She couldn't help but become nervous and asked softly: "You, what do you want to do?"
Liu Yu knew that no one would come to the backyard at this time, so he couldn't help but relax. While playing with the sharp dagger, he proudly said loudly: "You little girl, weren't you very fierce yesterday? Why don't you dare to speak loudly now?
Have you spoken?"
In fact, Tatina had been hungry all day, so she still had the energy to speak loudly.
Suddenly, the courtyard door was kicked open with a bang, and a group of people rushed in aggressively. The tall girl in a goose-yellow shirt at the head said loudly with her hands on her hips: "Liu Yu, stop hiding.
!I heard you already!"
"Lu Qiling!" Liu Yu and Bian Zhang looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise.
It was Lu Qiling and dozens of Feihu guards who came. Sisters Cleya and Zhu Rong were ordered by Liu Xin to mobilize to assist Ban Taoer in handling military affairs, so Lu Qiling took the initiative to take on the task of searching for Liu Yu.
Come.
However, Ban Tou'er did not have many troops to hand over to her, and setting up checkpoints at important crossings would also affect the passage of baggage vehicles. Lu Qiling thought of a way and invited more than a dozen painters to paint them according to their own descriptions.
Draw portraits of Liu Yu and Bian Zhang. The skills of these painters vary, and they have not practiced this painting method, and are not familiar with painting on paper, so most of their paintings do not look like Lu Qilingnai,
I had to pick up two that looked a little more pleasing to my eyes and take them with me.
It was impossible to search door to door, not to mention the lack of manpower, and doing so would not only disturb the people, but also easily leak information. So Lu Qiling focused on those inns, because she knew that Liu Yu and Bian Zhang were going to the concession to join the army.
, I can’t survive this journey of thousands of miles just by sleeping on the street.
Yesterday, I ran around with the portrait all day long, but they said they had never seen the two people in the portrait. Lu Qiling was not discouraged, and went out again at dawn today to continue asking around, and happened to come to the inn where Shopkeeper Cui and the others were resting.
The innkeeper had just had a conversation with Liu Yu and was quite impressed by this young man. When he saw the portrait in Lu Qiling's hand, he couldn't help but say with certainty: "That's him!"
When Lu Qiling learned that there was only Liu Yu in the backyard, and there was no other younger boy, she couldn't help but be shocked. Worried that Bian Zhang was in danger, she kicked open the courtyard door without even thinking. Although she had no special experience
Martial arts, but dance and martial arts have many similarities, and she is originally the daughter of a general, so her body is so strong that she actually kicked the courtyard door wide open with this kick.
Lu Qiling was Liu Xin's adopted daughter and Diao Chan's apprentice. She had been living in the Prefectural Mufu when she was in Xiangyang, and also lived in the palace in Chang'an. Although she and Liu Yu did not play together, they often played together.
We met, became familiar with each other, and immediately recognized each other's voices.
Liu Yu also got carried away and spoke too loudly, which exposed his traces and was found by Lu Qiling. Liu Yu also knew that once caught by these flying tiger guards, there would be no danger, but he was serving in front of the army.
I'm afraid my wish will come true.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu pulled Bian Zhang up, jumped out of the grain truck, and casually pulled out the long wooden box hidden under the truck.
