Ye Feng left Yuanfeng County on the third day after wiping out the Jinsha Sword Sect. In the previous three days, even though he acted low-key, he was still invited by the county governor and the heads of the five major families.
Facing one banquet after another, Ye Feng was extremely bored, but he couldn't show any signs of it.
It wasn't until last night that Xu Longyang came to the door in person and informed him that a caravan was planning to go to Putian County tomorrow, and Ye Feng was able to get rid of the complicated entertainment.
This is a caravan composed of nearly a hundred traveling merchants. In addition to a dozen trucks owned by the traveling merchants, there are also two extremely luxuriously decorated carriages in the caravan.
One of the carriages was personally prepared by Xu Longyang for Ye Feng and He Huan, while the other carriage was the vehicle of a noble lady.
Xu Longyang told Ye Feng that the lady from an official family was also preparing to go to Putian County. The two parties had the same purpose, and he could not refuse the other party's request to accompany him, so he could only let her go together.
Ye Feng was not disgusted with the extra official ladies in the accompanying team. However, what made him laugh or cry the most was the expression on Xu Longyang's face when he said that there were official ladies accompanying him.
It was clear that Xu Longyang was the person in charge of Long Yang's escort, but he asked Ye Feng for his opinion on everything. So when he said that a lady official was accompanying him, Ye Feng had a feeling that Xu Longyang was not informing him, but was
Obtain his consent.
On the sixth day after Ye Feng arrived in Yuanfeng County, he finally set off for Putian County, where the Zangke Mountains are located.
As the mighty motorcade left Yuanfeng County, loud shouts could be heard on the wide commercial road.
In order to allow Ye Feng to walk with comfort and peace of mind, Xu Longyang specially sent out the most sensible and most powerful escort team.
As soon as the convoy left Yuanfeng County, the tall and burly captain of the escort team with a beard drove his horse to the carriage where Ye Feng was.
"Mr. Ye, we have now left Yuanfeng County and are expected to reach the boundary of Donghe County in the afternoon. If you have no objection, we will rest at Lantian Station where Donghe County is located and continue our journey tomorrow." Captain Beard stood at the station.
Outside the carriage, he said respectfully.
Ye Feng felt helpless at Captain Beard's request.
No matter how much Xu Longyang valued him, he shouldn't have mobilized so many people. Moreover, acting in a high-profile manner has never been Ye Feng's style.
"Captain Zhan Peng, you are the captain of the escort team. You can arrange the schedule of the caravan. You don't need to ask me for instructions in the future." Ye Feng sat in the carriage and whispered.
Outside the carriage, the bearded man nodded respectfully. He stopped talking and raised his whip to urge the horse to move forward quickly.
In front of the carriage where Ye Feng was sitting was the car of the other official lady.
The driver was a middle-aged man wearing a black felt hat and a blue jacket with a gloomy face.
Hearing that Zhan Peng asked for directions from the carriage behind him, the driver, whose face was half covered by a felt hat, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As far as he knew, Longyang Escort was very famous on all the major trade routes in the Yin and Shang Kingdom. He really couldn't imagine how noble the status of the people sitting in the carriage would be, so that Longyang Escort would be
The squad leader asked for instructions everywhere.
When the coachman was confused, the bead curtain of the carriage was opened, and a young and beautiful maid with a very thin tongue walked out from inside. At first glance, she looked like a sharp-tongued maid.
The maid glanced at Zhan Peng, who was speeding by, and then at the carriage behind her, which was almost as luxurious as her own carriage, and couldn't help showing a trace of anger on her face.
"This Zhan Peng is too ignorant. Why, the people in other people's carriages are VIPs, and the young lady in our carriage is not noble enough?" The maid scolded in a low and angry voice.
She was still about to say something, but suddenly, a low shout came from the car behind her.
"Lian Qiao, okay, what's the point of complaining about this kind of thing? If you feel uncomfortable riding in the car, just get out and ride a horse." The low voice in the carriage was extremely clear, like a lark, as pleasant to the ear.
Hearing the scolding in the carriage, the maid Lianqiao stuck out her tongue and quickly got into the carriage.
Around the carriage, there were several traveling businessmen passing by. When they heard the chirping of warblers in the carriage, their eyes simultaneously radiated with wolfish gleams.
Although they did not see the appearance of the person who spoke, they thought that the voice was so pleasant, and the appearance was not too bad. Moreover, those traveling businessmen knew that the maids were so beautiful, so wouldn’t the young lady in the carriage be even more beautiful?
.
A traveling merchant with a good reputation grabbed the escort escort and asked who was inside the two luxury carriages.
Hearing that the escort said that the carriage where Maid Lianqiao was sitting contained the family members of the first-rank officials of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the traveling merchants couldn't help but be shocked.
The official who is worthy of the first rank of the Yin and Shang Kingdom must be the Prime Minister of the Yin and Shang Kingdom, who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. They do not need the escort to explain. These traveling merchants also know that the female family members in the carriage are definitely not something they can care about.
Hearing that the female family members in the previous carriage were the prime minister's family, the traveling merchants were more interested in the carriage Ye Feng was riding in.
According to etiquette, the more noble your status, the further back you will sit when driving.
Although the escort never revealed who was riding in the last carriage, the traveling merchants all guessed that the identity of the people in the latter carriage must be even more extraordinary.
Who could be the person who could make even the prime minister's daughter bow to him? Some businessmen speculated that it was the prince of the Yin Shang Kingdom.
However, when they thought that the prince would be escorted by the Royal Guards when traveling, they overturned this speculation.
The little episodes during the march brought a bit of fun to the traveling businessmen.
Along the way, traveling businessmen gathered together from time to time, whispering about the identities of the people riding in the two carriages.
After a morning of continuous marching, the caravan finally walked out of the boundaries of Yuanfeng County and entered the jurisdiction of Donghe County.
On the official road ahead, a lonely inn station waiting on one side of the road appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the flag hanging above the inn, Zhan Peng, the captain of the escort team, couldn't help shouting.
"Everyone, listen, we will enter the station ahead to rest in a while. If we are short of water, we will replenish water, and if we are short of food, we will replenish food. After passing this station, we will not rest again until night."
Following Zhan Peng's shouting, the traveling merchants and escorts all shouted.
Everyone speeded up their horses and rushed forward like crazy, arriving at the outskirts of the inn in a blink of an eye.
Longyang Escort has been traveling along the major trade routes of the Yin and Shang Kingdom all year round, and is very familiar with every post station.
When the inn clerk saw the flag of Long Yang's escort, he quickly came out and led the escort's cars to the stable.
Arriving at the door of the inn, Zhan Peng jumped off the horse. He handed the reins to an escort driver, and he quickly came to the carriage where Ye Feng was.
"Sir, please come down and rest for a while. Although the conditions of this inn are simple, the food is not bad." Zhan Peng said respectfully.
In the carriage, Ye Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged and meditating, opened his eyes.
Nodding to He Huan, he opened the car curtain and walked out first.
As soon as Ye Feng appeared, the eyes of many traveling merchants were all focused on him.
Seeing a young teenager walking out of the carriage, the traveling businessmen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Could it be that the people riding in this carriage are really the princes of the Yin and Shang Kingdom?" Everyone speculated in their hearts, looking at Ye Feng and He Huan, they couldn't help but be filled with fear.
Ye Feng got out of the car first, and He Huan got out of the car last. This gave everyone around him the illusion that He Huan was the real owner of the car.
Looking at Ye Feng with an approachable smile on his face, while He Huan's face was always tense, those businessmen who thought they were well-informed all believed their guesses.
The tea room at the inn has prepared a lot of pastries and drinks, but because there are not many waiters at the inn, guests have to pick up the pastries and tea by themselves.
After sitting down on the seat, Ye Feng glanced at the pastry counter, stood up, and walked over.
His move once again made the traveling merchants around him believe that Ye Feng was just a servant who accompanied him around.
Ye Feng came to the pastry counter, picked up the tray, and put the pastries on it.
Beside him, a tall man wearing homespun clothes saw Ye Feng picking out exquisite pastries and couldn't help but said: "Young man, your master is not easy to serve?"
Ye Feng was slightly startled, and then he understood what the strong man meant.
He didn't defend himself, but picked up a piece of pastry again and put it on the tray.
Ye Feng's indifference made the strong man snort in dissatisfaction. The strong man grabbed a plate of pastries, poured them all into his bag, snorted again, turned around and left.
After the strong man left, the little maid Lianqiao also came over carrying a dinner plate.
When passing by Ye Feng, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Hey, boy, whose servant are you? Why haven't I seen you in the Imperial City before?" Lian Qiao said arrogantly.
Facing Lian Qiao's questions, Ye Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
He has never been to the Imperial City since he was a child, so how could Lian Qiao have seen him.
Seeing that Ye Feng was silent, Lianqiao pouted. She pointed at the clip in front of Ye Feng and said, "Boy, hand me that clip."
Ye Feng didn't pay attention to Lian Qiao's bossy. He handed the clip to Lian Qiao, turned around and walked towards his seat.
Just two steps forward, Lian Qiao's shout came from behind him again.
"Boy, wait for me for a while. You didn't see that there are so many things in my hand. Come here and help me get some." As she spoke, Lian Qiao couldn't help but put the tray in Ye Feng's free left hand.
.
Faced with Lian Qiao's actions, Ye Feng helplessly shook his head.
Without saying anything else, he carried the plate to the coachman who entered the inn with Lian Qiao.
When he walked to the driver's side, the hairs all over Ye Feng's body suddenly trembled slightly, and then his pupils suddenly shrank into needle shapes.
He felt an extremely strong murderous aura from this coachman who was dressed simply and with half of his felt hat covering his face.
If his intuition hadn't told him that the murderous aura in this coachman was not directed at him, he would have mistakenly thought that this coachman was a killer hidden in the caravan.
"Lian Qiao asked me to bring this here." Ye Feng put the tray on the table and whispered.
After saying this, he once again took a deep look at the coachman who didn't even raise his head, then turned around and walked to He Huan.
In front of the coachman, Lian Qiao came over carrying tea and cakes.
Seeing the pastries on the table, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said crisply: "That guy is not bad, he actually helped me bring the pastries."
The coachman, who had always lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly raised his head.
He glanced at Lian Qiao with a knife-like gaze, and then he whispered: "Girl Qiao, don't underestimate that young man just now. If I'm not mistaken, his strength should be almost the same as mine."
"Dang Rang" The tea cup in Lian Qiao's hand fell on the table, and her face turned pale.
She knew very well the strength of the coachman, but she never expected that the seemingly approachable Ye Feng would actually be a master swordsman.
"God, what did I just do? I actually ordered a master swordsman to serve me a plate." Lian Qiao covered her chest, filled with fear.
