Chapter 19: Leaving Chang'an

Liu Sheng and his entourage went out of the city in disguise, and when they arrived outside the city gate, they saw a person from a distance, dressed as a Hu man, wearing a plain robe with lapels and narrow sleeves, leather boots, and a belt around his waist, riding a jujube red horse and staring at the city gate, with a heroic posture. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Behind the info was a caravan of hundreds of people, dozens of which were fully loaded.

This person is the princess.

followed by Forsythia, who was also dressed in men's clothes, I don't know if it was frozen or frightened, Forsythia's face was as white as the snow behind her.

Gradually getting closer, Liu Sheng saw Wang Yan acting arrogantly like this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly supported his forehead.

Wang Yan also recognized Liu Sheng's convoy, and gestured with her chin, but did not pat the horse over, turned her head and ordered people, and began to walk.

The two teams gradually merged into one, and Liu Sheng and his colleagues did not have any impact on the team in this large team.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you and my family Langjun agreed to act in secret, how can you do such a big deal?" Annan's entourage, which represented Liu Sheng, rushed to Wang Chang, pointed to the long line behind him, and said with a toothache on his face.

"The art of war is cloudy: if you are prepared, you will be lazy, and if you are common, you will not be suspicious. Yin is within the yang, not in the yang pair. When Wang Yan heard that, she asked with a smile, "Do you understand?" ”

When Annan heard this, he gritted his teeth even more and said, "I don't know what it has to do with this?" ”

"If you were a festival envoy, would you trust a small caravan that is not well known, or a large caravan that you have been friends with for a long time? If you are a thief, do you start by besieging a small caravan with a very small number of men, or a large caravan with far more men than you and a well-fought and strong caravan? If you were a citizen of Tianshui City, would you welcome a pitiful, unkempt little caravan, or a large caravan full of momentum and abundant oil and water......"

Listening to Wang Yan's menacing and aggressive words, Annan lost his mind for a while, and opened his mouth, wanting to say that they were not going to do business, but just looking for an identity cover. But he could only ask weakly: "There are so many people, the goal is too big, if the identity of Lang Jun is discovered, this team of people will not be easy to arrange." ”

Wang Yan glanced at Liu Sheng, who was looking at the scroll leisurely, and looked up and down at him, a stupid entourage who was obviously "the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry", and complained in his heart, Liu Sheng is going to take Tianshui City, I don't know how many soldiers and horses to be secretly prepared to use, these hundreds of people, if you talk about your deeds, I am afraid that it will not be enough for them to stuff their teeth.

But he sneered at Annan: "Your idea is just to cover up, to be a thief, how much trouble can the big caravan dodge?" Otherwise, the bandits who come from this road without knowing the details will make your master unable to eat. "I want to say again, that is, when the time comes, if your identity is really exposed, you should leave quickly, without a few of you, their team will really be pure businessmen. After thinking about it, I still couldn't help but say nothing.

Her business trip was still because of Liu Sheng, if it weren't for the soldiers and horses he brought, the risk of this trip would be really too great, it doesn't matter if she loses or not, it's still a problem to come back with all her eyebrows and beards. Although there are only a few people now, Wang Chang believes that Liu Sheng must still have a lot of hidden secrets. This "gentleman" is standing under the dangerous wall, and if he doesn't take full precautions, how can he live in this troubled world where a group of heroes rise together? It is impossible to rely only on the luck that God gave him.

Wang Yan actually understood in her heart that Annan was deeply dissatisfied with her behavior of plucking the feathers and never suffering a loss. If it's really a light car, it can be faster. This winter is not easy to march, and if it snows, it will be a failure. But for Wang Yan, it is not a businessman's way to have a lot of money at her fingertips and not make money.

Annan looked at the convoy again and asked Wang Yan, "This caravan is full of silk?" ”

"Most of them are this," Wang Yan generously admitted, "Silk is the most common item for merchants in the Western Regions, it is light and easy to carry, and the profit is high, why not bring this?" ”

Anyway, he was idle and bored, so Wang Yan was very patient with Liu Sheng's entourage, who was obviously taking matters into his own hands to spy on the news, and answered every question he asked seriously.

She dared to blatantly bring it out because this was a real Western Regions merchant team. There was even a blue-eyed and blonde Westerner inside, the owner of this caravan was familiar with the third brother, she had met the third brother with him a few times, he was a Sogdian with deep eyes and a high nose and many beards, with good credit and righteousness. In addition to this, this caravan also had Persians, Turks, Great Cannibals, and many more. This year's weather is warm, and the road to Tianshui City belongs to the relatively arid inland area, even if it snows, it can't rain much, this caravan is used to it, familiar with the road, not much slower than a few of them on the road alone.

Because the caravans in the Western Regions had to rely on camels to cross the long desert area, the cold winter and the scorching hot summer of extreme temperatures were not suitable for business, so for the merchants, it was also around the Spring Festival or June of the year, and the Silk Road across Asia and Europe began.

With the increasingly turbulent situation in the Central Plains, even if there is a large demand in the West, but without strong protection, merchants do not dare to travel easily, resulting in the price of silk and other goods remains even higher, all the way up. And because of the dynastic tradition of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, the people of the Western Regions almost monopolized the Silk Road, but they could not get the silk goods with the Han people with relatively low prices and good quality, so this time, Wang Yan relied on Liu Sheng's "potential" and hit it off with the owner of the caravan in the Western Regions.

And as long as you walk to the vicinity of Tianshui City, it will not be far from the jurisdiction of the Beiting Dadu, and Wang Yan's task will be completed. Most of the people in the North Court of today's Dynasty are served by the Hu people, and there are many and convenient people for business, so they can worry less.

"I heard that you were confined to your home by Wang Shangshu, how did you get out?" When the caravan stopped to rest, Liu Sheng roasted mutton, looked at Wang Yan casually, and asked.

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, and secretly praised, Liu Sheng's news is really fast, and she knows all this little thing. Staring at his roasted mutton, he squinted and smiled: "The mountain people have their own tricks. ”

"If you don't say it, I know," Liu Sheng said leisurely, "I probably let your sister take over, and you pretend to be her." ”

"The general doesn't care about the army, but he is very familiar with the family affairs of each family." Wang Yan was shocked in her heart, forced herself to calm down, and said to him with a mocking expression. If your own filth is pointed out, it will not be comfortable.

"Not as good as you." Liu Sheng took out the letter she entrusted Ge Zhu to him from his arms, and deliberately shook it in front of her, which revealed the big and small things of the Sun family, and looked confused, "I'm so curious, how can you, an unmarried woman, get these news?" ”

"You don't need to know this," Wang Yan's face was not good-looking, "The Sun family is also a tyrant in Jiangnan, don't you want to get rid of it too?" ”

Liu Sheng didn't reply to Wang Yan, looked at Forsythia who was kneeling not far away to sort out items with a smile, and said, "Seeing that your maidservant's face is so pale, I am always frightened by your sister-in-law's sudden actions, and I haven't eased up yet." ”
