Seven people, three carriages. The first and last carriages carried some goods in them, and Xia Hongsheng sat in the middle carriage. In addition to Qi Yong, the other five people are all special combat members of Datang Blade.

All dressed as merchants.

Xia Hongsheng's identity is the first time he came into contact with family affairs and began to learn to be a merchant child. Lead a small caravan on a journey through the process of doing business and learn how to do business.

The sun sets in the west, and the mountains are far away.

Xia Hongsheng got out of the carriage, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked up at the city in front of him.

Walking into the city gate, I saw that there seemed to be a lot more pedestrians on the road in the city, but the soldiers guarding the border looked vigilant and checked very carefully.

Revisiting the old place, Xia Hongsheng didn't have any special feelings.

After several days of hurrying, I finally arrived in Xiazhou.

"I want to go to Yuelai Inn in the next place, but because I am a first-time businessman, I am not familiar with the place, so I want to ask for a way." Xia Hongsheng found a passerby and asked.

"Go straight to the intersection of three streets and turn left, and you can see the sign." The man who was asked for directions by Xia Hongsheng pointed to the back and replied.

"Thank you!" Xia Hongsheng thanked him.

Everyone walked along the road, and sure enough, after three street corners, they glanced to the left and saw the inn sign a hundred meters away.

Everyone went to the inn, went with Xiao Er to store the goods, asked for a few houses, and after settling down, it was already time for dinner.

The seven of them went downstairs to sit at a table, ordered the dishes, and then slowly waited for the second child to serve the food.

"You may be seated." A voice came, and Ling Xia Hongsheng smiled and looked back.

Their eyes met, and they turned away in an instant, and nothing happened.

After a meal, it gets dark. Xia Hongsheng didn't do anything else, so he went back to his bedroom.

The night grew dark, and the noise turned into silence.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of scratching the door, which became clear in the silent room.

Xia Hongsheng stood up and walked to the door: "It's you?" ”

"It's me." A voice outside replied.

In the darkness, Xia Hongsheng grinned. "You're here?" ”

"I'm coming." There was a pause outside the door, and then a deep voice came.

Xia Hongsheng held back a smile and said, "You shouldn't have come." ”

"But I'm already here." There was a hint of helplessness in the voice outside.

Xia Hongsheng chuckled secretly, quickly held back, and said, "You are still here after all." ”

There was a pause outside the door for a long time, with a hint of impatience: "I'm still here after all!" ――Can't you open the door?! ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly opened the door, and saw Yi Qiulou standing at the door, looking at Xia Hongsheng helplessly, and walked in. While saying, "What kind of code are you making up?" That's a lot to do! ”

Xia Hongsheng laughed, touched the fire fold on the table and lit the lamp line, and said: "Since it is a joint code, it naturally has to be different so that people will not guess." How many people came? ”

Yi Qiulou sat down at the table and replied, "Old Man Li and I have each received more than fifty people, and now only I am waiting for you in the city, and the others have already left the customs and are hiding outside the customs." ”

"More than a hundred. How to hide? Xia Hongsheng was a little surprised, this number exceeded his expectations.

"There are Tibetans outside the gates." Yi Qiulou smiled: "There are a lot of black shops alone. As long as they are willing to pay, they will dare to contain anyone, and they will never talk too much. If you're willing to spend a lot of money, let them do something shady for you. What about the Turks, has there been any news? ”

"I'm just in Xiazhou. Before I can get in touch with the spies here, I will contact the spies in Xiazhou early tomorrow morning and ask him to report the movements of the Turks. Xia Hongsheng said: "The intelligence at the time of departure from Chang'an shows that the Turkic peace mission is preparing. It will be departing in a few days. Now, I'm on the road. ”

Yi Qiulou nodded and said, "That's fine." It's just that, how can you be sure that the peace and pro-embassy will pass by? ”

"Your Majesty ordered the peace envoy to enter the customs from Xiazhou, and Xiazhou sent troops to escort it to Chang'an." Xia Hongsheng smiled: "So they can only pass in the direction of Xiazhou." Therefore, we can only do it outside the customs, and once it enters the Datang realm, it will not work. So, you have to plan well. Since the Turks are trying to stabilize the Tang Dynasty and ignore him to pacify Xue Yantuo, at least on the surface, they must show enough sincerity to stabilize the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is estimated that there will be a lot of gifts brought by the peace and pro-mission, and there will be a lot of people who will naturally escort them. We currently only have 100 people, and we have to plan carefully to succeed. ”

Yi Qiulou poured a glass of water and drank it a few sips: "Then Brother Xia has a plan?" ”

"There are a few ideas, and we will discuss them in detail when I understand the situation." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Yi Qiulou: "But I don't know if there are any side kung fu in the hands of the one hundred and ten people who came?" Let's say stealing something, poisoning something, or something? ”

"You're going to poison?!" Yi Qiulou scratched his head: "There won't be too few guards, if you want to poison them, how can you ensure that those guards can be poisoned together?" ”

"No, I didn't plan to poison him." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "I guess that the gifts brought by the Turkic and pro-envoys must have cattle, horses, sheep and the like, and I am ready to start with these livestock." ”

Yi Qiulou was taken aback: "You want to poison so many cattle, horses and sheep?" What a shame! It's better for us to grab a share of the poor border people at home! ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled dumbly: "Why don't you leave without poison?" Rest assured, I will not poison people, nor those cattle, horses and sheep. Just an analogy, an analogy! Ask if you have such a very unconventional master. ”

"Of course, there is." Yi Qiulou nodded and replied: "However, most of these people from the side door just want to fish in troubled waters when they come here, and if they want to go out and rob them, I'm afraid their kung fu is not as good as those guards!" ”

"Hey, why are you still so narrow-minded?" Xia Hongsheng patted Yi Qiulou very shyly: "There is never a useless thing in this world, only something that is used in the wrong place." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Yi Qiulou asked.

Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes and said to Yi Qiulou: "That's ...... I will contact the spy personnel in Xiazhou tomorrow to listen to the information, Brother Yi, you can go and count which of the 100 people are good at a certain side, what are they good at, take them to me and see what they can use. The opponent has more men than us, and he is still a trained Turkic warrior, and we don't have an advantage in the front, so we have to take the sword to the edge to win. (To be continued.) )
