Chapter 1: Returning to the Enlightenment
In the first month of the nineteenth year of Jiajing, the cavalry of the brigade marched south along the old road of Linxia, the military appearance was cleaned, and the war horses neighed. At the end of Amano, in addition to the barren hills, it is still a barren hill. The heavy snow of seven days ago had not yet melted, and clumps of snow remained on the yellowed and withered meadows, adding a little chill.
Since he joined the cavalry of the Yeli family in Linzhao Mansion, where the Southeast Supervision Army Division was stationed, Xin Cheng'an has been shrinking in the pack team of Cheng Kee's shop, not daring to show his head easily, and cautiously playing the role of a shop man. Several times Zhao Ran came to look for him, but he drove him away with his eyes.
At the beginning, Zhao Ran was still very strange, and found an opportunity to pull him to find out, Xin Cheng'an said nervously: "There are so many Xia soldiers around, shouldn't we be careful? Don't you see the more than ten worshippers of the Yeli family's army? More than half of the cultivation is higher than ours, if it is exposed, I am afraid that it will be too late to die!"
Zhao Ran comforted him: "Are you acting generously or not? Who will come to you for trouble if you don't jump out to compete with others, and don't use Taoist powers?"
Xin Chengan still shook his head: "I'm always panicked inexplicably...... Alas, I'll tell you the truth, now I really regret it, I knew that you made such a big deal in Xingqing, I shouldn't have taken this mission. originally thought it would be easy, who would have thought it would be so complicated, but now he is still in the Xia army. You said that what did you do when you got acquainted with so many powerful people and Buddhist monks of the Xia Kingdom, this is really not a joke, and the risk is too great! As the saying goes, Yun often walks by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet! I am worried now, if something happens, I can't answer when others ask, what should I do then?"
Zhao Ran asked: "Why don't you just go back to Xingqing, and wait for Dongfang to go out of the customs?"
Xin Cheng'an said: "That will die even more miserably...... Forget it, I still have this awareness, all for the sake of Taoism. ”
Zhao Ran comforted: "Then go back after a while, buy more goods, and delay a little longer." But think about it from another angle, there is no risk at all, and it is not called a dark pile. ”
Xin Cheng'an looked depressed: "Now it's useless to say that these are all useless, I just hope that there will be some moths in the middle." Anyway, let's say okay, I also left a teleportation talisman before, you must help me, that guy in the east has gone to retreat, and now the only thing I can count on is you!"
Zhao Ran said: "Don't worry, if there is any difficulty, just ask me then." In the future, you will be more careful in Xingqing, talk less and do less. But to pay attention to the sexual true monk of Tianlong Temple, this person is very important, and from his mouth, you can know a lot of news. ”
Xin Cheng'an said: "By returning to Daming this time, I will stay for a few months first, and then I will have such a buffer, maybe I can make my future life smoother, so as not to be seen through." It's best that the Eastern Retreat can come out quickly, so that I can let him change people. ”
As the army continued to move south, there were more and more wounded soldiers and injured Buddhist monks on the road, and they all said that the Ming army had stormed Baima Mountain in the past few days, and the Southeast Supervision Army Division was almost a little unable to hold on, and kept urging reinforcements. Yeli Huaide even discussed with the army, and he had no time to take care of these people in the Chengji shop, Zhao Ran was so happy, he hid in the cavalry of the Yeli family, avoided all the troubles, and leisurely approached the border of Mingxia and Xia. ”
Starting from Xingqing, to Linzhao Mansion to join the cavalry, and then arrived at the Hulu Pass, this road took ten days. Hulu Pass is a pass controlled by the Xia army at the junction of the two countries, and Zhao Ran is very familiar with this place and has come several times.
It has been more than a year since he entered the summer realm from here last year, and the person stationed at the pass is still that Li Guangxian, and his military position is still that of the Southeast Supervision and Military Division. When this Li Dusi saw Yeli Huaide, his whole body was eager to drop three points shorter, which was really bent and flattering in every way.
In addition to complimenting Yeli Huaide, he was naturally very respectful to the good friend of the Yeli family, ——— Chengcheng, and when he set up the wine at night, he put Zhao Ran's seat in front of his house. One by one, he became a proprietor, and kept coming up to persuade him to drink, and the blackmail face of Zhao Ran when he passed the customs was completely different, Zhao Ran thought that he had forgotten himself.
But obviously, this one actually did not forget, but took the initiative to mention: "Last year, when the owner of the house passed, I looked at the wealth, and sure enough, in Xingqing to do a good situation, this year Cheng Ji shop from my gourd pass into the summer, again and again I see in my eyes, it is really more and more prosperous." In the past, I was still worried, afraid that the Cheng Ji shop would have any forbidden entrainment, but now that there is Yeli Hou Ye as a guarantee, then all the transactions of your shop will be allowed in the future!"
The meaning of this Li Dusi is very clear, in the future, Cheng Kee shops will pass through the gourd pass, and they will no longer charge customs fees, so you can rest assured that you will pass.
Zhao Ran naturally won't take it seriously and don't give a single copper, Li Dusi's style is actually to show that he will never be embarrassed to pass the card in the future, which is enough, as for personal benefits, what should be given is still given.
The guests and hosts were happy, there was nothing to say all night, and the next day at dawn, Yeli Huaide led the army towards the direction of White Horse Mountain, and Zhao Ran led the pack team of Cheng Ji shops, and entered the territory by the gourd post controlled by the Ming army. The Ming army officers stationed in Huluyi also did not embarrass the team, turned a blind eye, ate the filial piety of the Chengji shop, waved his hand and let it go.
Don't look at the more than 600 years of competition in Ming Xia, but the border market has never been broken. The two countries have a big difference in products, Daming is more silk and satin cloth, porcelain lacquer, tea bricks, salt, etc., Xia is rich in medicinal materials, cattle and sheep, fur and the like, the two sides complement each other very strongly. Therefore, even in wartime, as long as it is not in the battlefield, there is still an endless stream of caravans coming and going, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery in the war between the two countries.
Of course, the iron tools of the Ming Dynasty and the war horses of the Xia Kingdom, it is difficult for these goods to leave the country, and even Chengji shops rarely carry such materials.
After entering the country from Huluyi, the Cheng Kee shop caravan had to continue south to Chengdu Mansion, where there was a large warehouse of the "Cheng" Kee shop.
So Zhao Ran said goodbye to "Xin Cheng'an", Xin Cheng'an put on a mask and continued to play the role of the owner of Cheng Kee's shop, and Zhao Ran officially resumed his identity.
Suddenly, the burden was unloaded, and Zhao Ran felt a sense of relief for a while, and his heart was a lot more relaxed. remembered that he hadn't been in contact with Rong Niang for a long time, so he sent a flying charm out.
Since going to Xingqing, Zhao Ran has offended this girl a lot, at the beginning, Rong Niang also sent him flying charms two times in three days, but Zhao Ran is in the enemy territory, if there is always an inexplicable "little white light" on his head, then how to do a secret pile? So Zhao Ran has very few replies, and even if he does, what he says is very simple and vague - Zhao Ran still has this bit of secret common sense.
Then Rong Niang's reply gradually decreased, and over the years, until now, the two have not had much contact for nearly half a year.
Zhao Ranfei sent out the talisman for a long time, but he didn't receive a reply from Rong Niang, and said that this little Niangpi seems to be really angry, no matter who you love, Lao Tzu will go back to Junshan first. ()
