Volume 1 Southern Regions Chapter 72 Going to Rongji
The wine entered his throat, and Bai Ze only felt comfortable all over. Yu Youwei looked at the meals made by Bai Ze on the stone table, with meat and vegetables, three dishes and one soup. The soup is a fish soup, the soup is thick and white, sprinkled with finely chopped green onions, and the combination of green and white gives people a pleasing feeling.
"Childe's craftsmanship looks good. Yu Youwei said, scooped a bowl of fish soup, tasted it, the soup was delicious, "It tastes better." β
"Thank you for the compliment. Bai Ze said.
"In fact, there is one more thing about this trip. Yu Youwei said, pouring wine for Bai Ze again.
"I don't know what's going on?" Bai Ze asked.
"This time Heyang City and the Weicheng family are at war, presumably Gongzi knows. Yu Youwei said, "A few days ago, the Grand Duke sent someone to the Chamber of Commerce, saying that he had invited the alchemist of the Pharmacist Pavilion to go to the battlefield to treat the injured soldiers, but the medicine in the military camp was not enough, and the Chamber of Commerce needed to send someone to escort some medicinal materials to the Heyang camp. β
"What do you mean?" asked Bai Ze.
"Business during the war is the best thing to do, but also the hardest thing to do. Yu Youwei said, "This time to send medicine, the Chamber of Commerce is bound to make a small profit, but what worries Youwei is that the Chamber of Commerce is short of manpower to escort drugs, once the medicine has problems on the way to Heyang Daying, the Chamber of Commerce's business can not be done is secondary, I am afraid that the Grand Duke will blame, and it will be difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to gain a foothold in Heyang City in the future." β
"I see. Bai Ze smiled and said, "It just so happens that the prince and the county lord are also fighting against Weicheng on the front line of the Heyang camp, so I can also stop by to see my two friends this time." When to go?"
Come and don't be rude. Since Bai Ze accepted Yu Youwei's things twice, it was impossible not to help her with this, so it would be too much to say.
"Without further ado, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Yu Youwei said, looking at Bai Ze's eyes with a smile, "With a son here on this road, it will be much smoother." β
The girl laughed. Bai Ze smiled and said: "The girl's cultivation is unfathomable, whether Bai Ze is there or not, with the girl's ability, she is bound to be able to send the medicinal materials to the front camp safely." β
Yu Youwei smiled silently.
That's true. But she doesn't need this to trap Bai Ze, how can she find out the details of Bai Ze and see the secret of this little guy?
The two of them had their own thoughts, and after eating dinner in the snow at night, Yu Youwei didn't stop long, and when she held up the paper umbrella, she disappeared at the end of the alley with the fine snow when she went out.
Bai Ze stood in front of the courtyard door, quietly watching the back of the girl holding an umbrella and leaving for a long time, and then # entered the door, closed the door, chuckled, and said, "Yu Youwei, Yu Youwei." What is your purpose?"
......
Gossip and mention, early the next morning, Bai Ze put on a big coat, wore a double sword, and went directly to the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce has obviously made preparations, the current carriage leader, the entire convoy has nearly twenty wagons, only half of the people in the Chamber of Commerce, the rest are all recruited by the mercenary organization in the west of the city, and there are nearly two hundred people escorting medicinal materials.
"Young Master Bai Ze, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Yu Youwei took the lead, dressed in a horseback uniform, wearing a fox fur, and three thousand green silk bundles, with a chivalrous demeanor.
But Bai Ze knew that this girl's strength might have touched the threshold of the Supreme, or even higher.
The Red Dust Realm and the Transcendent Realm are two worlds. The bitter sea, the other side, Zhiwei, the monks of these three small realms, are only third-rate characters struggling in the red dust, if they want to reach the peak of the rivers and lakes of Kyushu, enter the extraordinary, and flying 30,000 miles is just the beginning.
The other side can resist things, and the flying of the sword is a thankless task, and the speed is not as good as the monk's full run, after all, the flight of the sword is combined with the weight of the sword master, and it is a low-level flight of the imperial air.
Knowing the micro imperial sword, he can barely achieve the sword to take the head ten miles away. And to achieve the rank of general among the ten thousand armies, the Supreme can try.
"Wait. Bai Ze clenched his fists, "Dare to ask the girl, when will you leave?"
"Now. Yu Youwei said.
The Chamber of Commerce set off loaded with medicinal materials needed for the front-line battlefield, and the convoy took the Heyang City Road, and Lu Qian, the head of the guard, came on horseback, personally saw them off, and equipped the convoy with 100 light horses to escort the young owner of the Chamber of Commerce to the Heyang camp.
"There is Lao Shaodong's family on this trip. Lu Qian immediately handed over his hand and said to Yu Youwei, the leader of the team, "After this battle, the negotiation between Heyang City and the Chamber of Commerce will be held as scheduled. At that time, the lord of the city will offer conditions that will satisfy the young owner. β
"How can Youwei slack off on win-win cooperation?" Yu Youwei arched his hand, "Lu Zhangshi, please." β
"Please!" Lu Qian watched the convoy leave the city and went straight to Weicheng.
The snow stopped, but the road was not easy. The convoy of the Chamber of Commerce was full of medicinal herbs, the ruts were very deep in the snow, and it was stable between walking, but once it was sled, it meant that it would definitely roll over.
Chamber of Commerce, mercenaries, garrisons of the City Lord's Palace. The three forces escorted the medicinal herbs to the camp in Heyang, with Yu Youwei as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, and the leader of the mercenaries was a rugged man, Zhang Hu. As for the 100 light cavalry of the City Lord's Mansion, it was Yu Wenhe, a silver-armored military captain, who took the lead.
The three parties, the Chamber of Commerce controls the carriage, the mercenaries follow the carriage and are responsible for the rear, and one hundred light horsemen are responsible for exploring the road and protecting Yu Youwei's safety.
Bai Ze saw that this was nothing more than Lu Qian's hand, allowing Yu Wenhe to keep an eye on Yu Youwei. But on the Riqing River that day, Yu Youwei pointed to the power of the fire tornado to reach the sky, and he could kill the prince Mu Chen in seconds. A small captain of the Silver Armor Army, whose rank is still lower than that of Lu Zheng's commander, how can he be careful?
If this woman had a heart, the entire escort team could be destroyed by her alone.
After two days of traveling, it was dark again. In the evening of this day, Bai Ze and his party of 300 people passed by the boundary of Yucheng, and Yu Youwei discussed with Yu Wenhe and Zhang Hu, preparing to rest at a nearby post station and hurry again tomorrow morning.
"At this rate, it will probably take three days to reach the Weicheng front. Zhang Hu rode on the horse, staggered half of the horse's head with Yu Youwei, and said, "I thought that the heavy snow closed the road, and it was difficult for the convoy to advance, but I didn't expect the road to be so difficult." β
"The road is naturally not easy to walk. Yu You smiled.
"Shaodong, it seems that there is something in the words?" Yu Wenhe frowned, the standard silver armor on his body was frozen by the cold winter, and when he heard the words, he asked.
"Huh. Yu Youwei didn't answer, the convoy was half a mile away, and she never got into the leading carriage, so there was only Qing'er in the car, and the strange driver who was driving.
"Bai Ze Gongzi, Youwei heard that although Gongzi is young, he has studied Daomen techniques quite a bit, I don't know what Gongzi thinks?" Yu Youwei glanced at Bai Ze behind him, his eyebrows and eyes were shining.
If Bai Ze hadn't always been wary of this girl, I'm afraid this glance would have made him fascinated.
Bai Ze was secretly frightened, since he went out of the city with Yu Youwei two days ago, he slept in the open along the way, although he was walking together, but except for the occasional conversation between the two, Bai Ze practiced swords when camping, and Yu Youwei's guidance on a whim, there was no intersection.
The two have contact, but it is far from intimate. But Bai Ze faintly realized that his feelings for Yu Youwei were becoming more and more subtle, and he couldn't figure it out. The "Pure Yang Sutra" he cultivated, taking the path of Taoism and nature, and the Taoist heart is firm. It stands to reason that the stability of the mind is by no means something that can be provoked by a few words, but how to explain Yu Youwei's subtle feeling now?
Bai Ze felt more and more that this woman was weird and abnormal, almost demonic.
You must know that in this world, the power system is complex. On the human side alone, there are the three major power systems of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as the treacherous witchcraft of Southern Xinjiang, the celestial and star power system of the giant clan, the earth spirit power system of the villainous clan, and so on.
The beast clan's spirit beast and demon beast power system, the demon clan's demon yuan power system, the legendary immortal qi system, and the most bizarre and unpredictable demon power cultivation system in Kyushu.
The difference between sects and the power system can never be said to be mixed. It's just a sect of Daomen, and there are three pillars, Dao Heart, Dao Will, and Dao Qi. This is still the head of the Dao Gate, and the rest of the side branches of the Dao Gate, such as Tui Ming and Tianyan, have a mysterious cultivation system.
This is especially true of Buddhism and Confucianism.
If Yu Youwei wasn't a human, the cultivation system of the alien race would definitely be as complicated as a human beingβshe didn't have the slightest fluctuation of demonic energy, wouldn't it be weird?
"Bai Ze Gongzi?" Yu Youwei saw Bai Ze's distraction, and asked again. Zhang Hu and Yu Wenhe both looked back at the young man at the moment, Zhang Hu had no impression of Bai Ze, but Yu Wenhe was different, he knew that this young man had a very close relationship with the prince, and it seemed that he had an inexplicable relationship with the county lord.
The most important thing is that it is the county lord in front of him, who was besieged and killed by the Du family in Dushan, and brought back to Heyang City safely.
Therefore, Zhang Hu can have doubts about Yu Youwei's opinion of Bai Ze, but Yu Wenhe has no doubts at all. He knew in his heart that Bai Ze had that qualification, so that the young owner of the Chamber of Commerce could take a look.
"Along the way, the process of going out of the city for 50 miles is considered smooth. Bai Ze came back to his senses, looked calm, and said, "But after that, the road became more and more difficult, and the reason for this was nothing more than the wind and snow. But this road is the only official road behind the camp in Heyang, and the transportation of baggage to and from is all taken on this road. β
"So what?" asked Zhang Hu.
"I heard that a few days ago, the large siege equipment made by Heyang City to attack Weicheng has been shipped. Bai Ze said, "The large siege equipment eats so much snow that I'm afraid the ruts can directly press the ground of the official road." Then the road traveled by the transport army, it stands to reason that the snow has already been flattened, even if there is snow later, we will not be as difficult to walk as we are now. β
"You mean, the team transporting siege equipment was attacked halfway?" asked Zhang Hu.
"No, it won't. Yu Wenhe vetoed, "If there is an attack, will the transport team be captured? There is no trace of fighting along the way, which means that the transport team has not been attacked at least before here." β
"Why is that?" Zhang Hu looked at Bai Ze, unable to understand.
