Chapter 200: The Festival of the Upper Quarter (1)
The caravans came from the west of the border city, and no one knew exactly where they came from, but they knew that there were many caravans coming and going between the four countries in the jade capital, and they often carried camels loaded with jewels and medicinal herbs to travel through the various countries. www.biquge.infoNaturally, each of them was only dressed in simple clothes, and the saint did not like these merchants, and he was even more strict with the entry of merchants, so most of the people of Yudu would rather work in agriculture than do this unpopular and dangerous work.
The woman is even more reluctant to let her husband go to business, as the old saying goes, "Don't be a businesswoman, and the golden hairpin should be used as money." Looking towards the mouth of the river, he mistook a few people for a boat. "No one wants to be the stone of the city gate. But when the caravan entered the city, many people watched quietly, especially to see the camels that they could not see on weekdays.
"Look at that big camel, why doesn't it have two humps?" Naturally, no one paid attention to what the merchants looked like, and most of them were talking about the big guys.
"You don't understand this, this camel has a doublet and a unimodal. But this breed is really rare!"
Yan Song also stepped forward to take a look at the crowded crowd, and sure enough, that guy was really good-looking, with peach-like eyes, and he closed the long eyelashes smartly, but the neck was a little long, and the goods on his body were hung on it in twos and threes, and it was not difficult to look at the guy's appearance.
"Miss, I've inquired, these businessmen will stay at the Huawu Inn, Ah Dong has already booked a room over there, Miss can go over at any time. ”
Yan Song nodded, her neck stretched upward, wanting to continue to see the appearance of the rest of the caravan clearly, but she didn't expect this crowd to squeeze, she didn't find the focus point for a while, and her body fell forward as if she had lost her center of gravity. Fortunately, at this time, someone pulled her from behind.
She just wanted to turn around and thank you, but the man spoke first, "You don't pay attention to the way, you are almost trampled to death by the big camel!"
Yan Song was a little surprised, her hands were still tugging on her arms hard, she came back to her senses slightly and said, "Young Master Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Manxiu was still dressed as a scholar, but this time she changed into an ink-colored gown that reminded her of Yu Qian.
"It's not that you said that this time is for the future of the five villages in the south of the Yangtze River, since it is the matter of the five villages, I naturally can't stand idly by. Besides, can you make it happen with just one girl?" Xu Manxiu said, hugging his chest, and then squeezed out of the crowd. But Yan Song was even more behind, a little confused.
The Flower Mist Inn is the largest in the entire Flower City, but it is also a mixed place, it is said that there are no more than ten transactions per day in the Flower Mist Inn, so there is a certain reason why the caravan chooses to rest here. Sure enough, before Yan Song stepped forward, the guests who were sitting on their seats drinking tea next to him all rushed up.
"Second brother, you can see if my gem pendant can be sold for a good price!"
"You open it for me! Second brother, look at me, this medicinal herb is rare in the world, this is the only one!"
…… I don't know who finally took out a dagger from his waist and plunged it straight into the wooden table, and everyone took a step back with their treasures.
Only then did Yan Song see clearly who the second brother they kept shouting was, he was still young, but he was called the second brother by these individuals, which showed that his status in the caravan was extraordinary.
"Could this be their leader?" Yan Song couldn't help but suspect that the child, who was not yet furious, still looked immature.
Xu Manxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't look at his age, he is sixteen years old, but he has a lot of skills! People in this flower city call him the second brother, but his real name is Chenyue, and he was not born to the same mother as his eldest brother, and some people even called Chenyue a wolf child, and was later adopted by the Chen family and became the second son." ”
"Where did you hear from that?"
The corners of Xu Manxiu's mouth twitched and said, "That is, you, the people who keep saying that they want to invite the caravan, but they haven't even found out their details." Yan Song lowered his head slightly, indeed, as if he was in high spirits, but he forgot to check the background of these people.
"So-what is the Chen family you just talked about?"
"That's even more talkative. Xu Manxiu was like the storyteller on the street, shook off the folding fan and said, "The Chen family is the only royal supplier of the jade capital hand-picked by the saint, and their branches are so developed that even the saint has to give three points when he sees it, do you think this Chen family is not powerful?"
"Yes...... You can't let a hairy boy do this!"
"Chen Yue is not a hairy boy! The people here have all learned his power, it is said that he can skin and cramp a living wolf alone, can this be done by a sixteen child?" Yan Song looked at the direction where everyone was around, how could a sixteen-year-old child kill a wolf, but he did insert the dagger into the wooden table without any effort.
Things didn't seem to be as simple as Yan Song thought, because the leader of this caravan really surprised her.
In the evening, there were gradually fewer people who came to visit the second young man of the Chen family, and Chen Yue seemed to be a little tired, leaning on the side with her hands and taking a nap. And Yan Song and the others were still sitting at the original table waiting for dinner, but the atmosphere in this inn seemed to be different from Fang Cai.
I don't know when it started, Yan Song suddenly felt that the air currents in this inn seemed to be clashes, and the resistance of the two parties seemed to be about to collapse at any time. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the people at the table behind him to slap the table, and then took out a white dangling knife from his waist and stabbed it at the napping boy.
She didn't have time to react at all, she stood up from her position just now, but who expected that the person's knife had already fallen in front of Chenyue's eyes. In a flash of lightning, a long cut was made in the young man's fingertips, and the knife stopped in his eyes, unable to move at all.
The assassin tried to draw the knife, but found that the young man was so powerful that he had been restrained at all. With a turn, the Assassin's broadsword suddenly clattered to the ground with a piercing sound, and his fingers landed on his throat. At this time, people from the other side also surrounded him, and Yan Song realized that this was clearly a premeditated assassination, the purpose of which was to kill Chen Yue.
But at this moment, the young man did not show panic, but knocked the person in his hand unconscious, followed by the force of the table, and then a flying foot kicked the compelling several meters away. How could this be the strength that a sixteen-year-old boy could use? More like a master in the rivers and lakes, really, as Xu Manxiu said, this Chenyue is not an idle person.
Chen Yue already had three or five guards by his side, but he seemed to have the determination to win, and motioned for none of them to make a move. This is a contest of disparity in strength, because even those assassins together can't beat such a second young man of the Chen family. Sure enough, except for the one who was stunned, the rest fell to the ground and screamed, and then immediately swallowed the medicine and committed suicide. It seems that they are dead soldiers, but who would buy these dead soldiers to kill a sixteen-year-old boy?
Chenyue's eyes were very similar to those of a wolf, although Yan Song had never seen a wolf, but the moment he stared at her, she suddenly felt the hairs on her whole body tremble, as if she was being targeted by a wild beast, and the blood in the beast's hands slipped down from her fingertips one by one. And she just stood in place, not daring to move a single step.
