The cold wind blew across the green ridge for a while, and the whole Shazhou became cool overnight. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info the big market is particularly lively, large and small business groups have to hurry out of the customs before the arrival of the harsh winter, this is the busiest season for the circulation of goods in Dunhuang City.

Gu Fang quietly made a few big deals. First, the news that the escort of the county lord of Changping was from Gu Fang spread far and wide, making Gu Fang's brocade silk more and more expensive. The second is that Gu Fang's "flying goods" are really attractive, and the bandits are the most troubled before winter, which one will put the existing good deal that does not have to transport goods, and is willing to take the risk of losing the goods and losing his life, and go on the business road in person.

The entire Shazhou seemed to have their eyes on the big market, and no one noticed that the gate of Suofu, which had been closed for several days, was quietly opened again.

On this day, Feng Ling and Buddha Nu calculated the income of the whole year, and the wealth entered into the account was really counted. She allocated half of the money, instructed the Buddha slave to change it into gold cakes, and sent someone to send it to Yuhang with the letter she wrote to her grandmother.

He was telling the Buddha to pick a smarter person, only allowed to report good news and not bad news, and the rich man in the courtyard outside whimpered and jumped up from the ground. "There's a visitor." The wind spirit waved his hand and sent the Buddha slave to answer.

The Buddha slave went for a short while, and then came back, and Dafu bluffed a few times in his throat in a low voice, teaching the Buddha slave to stop.

Feng Ling was wondering how the Buddha Nu brought customers into the backyard of the store, but he heard a familiar voice on the wooden steps outside the house calling, "Gu Niangzi." ”

"It turned out that Ding Cangcao had arrived." Wind Spirit smiled and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Ding Si'er's bitter face slammed into his eyes.

"Yo, what's going on?" The wind spirit let him into the house and raised his voice to bring the cheese.

Ding Si'er entered the house and refused to take a seat, so he bowed vigorously to the wind spirit and frightened the wind spirit. "What is Ding Cangcao doing, wouldn't he have tormented the wind spirit......

Ding Si'er only refused to straighten his waist, but in the end, it was the Buddha who dragged him up, and when he looked up, he asked Feng Ling in a trembling voice: "Gu Niangzi has always had many ideas, and this time I want to help and save our brothers." ”

Ah Mi brought jujube cheese and a cup of warm tea, Ding Si'er ate the warm tea in one go, took a breath, and explained the reason to Feng Ling little by little.

It turned out that the military funds were returned by delay, and there was no cottonseed in it, so it was not a big deal, and it was only necessary to take the public money and buy it from the merchant who operated the cottonseed. But overnight, all the cottonseeds in the city were bought, and there was nothing left. Ding Si'er was ordered by the military to go to Guzang to collect it, but unexpectedly, it was a step too late, and Guzang had no cottonseeds to harvest. Along the way, I inquired, and I taught people to smack their tongues, not only Dunhuang City, Guzang, but also Guazhou and other places to teach people to buy cottonseeds.

"If there is no cottonseed, the winter in Western Xinjiang is cold, how can the soldiers and brothers of the government resist it, and they will freeze to death when they leave the house. If there is another enemy at this time, how can we respond to the enemy if we freeze our hands and feet? Ding Si'er was so anxious that he rubbed his hands again and again.

Buddha Nu pondered for a while, and said strangely: "Collect all the cotton seeds in the border city, such a big deal, only big merchants can do it." I **** fought with them in the city, and I never heard of anyone who wanted to collect so many cottonseeds. ”

Feng Ling is also embarrassed: "If the Zhechong Mansion is short of the wealth of cottonseeds, it is incumbent on Feng Ling, but it is difficult to buy and sell without goods." ”

Ding Si'er was immediately anxious when he heard this, his eyes were faintly red, and he only sighed.

Feng Ling couldn't either, so he had to soothe: "Ding Cangcao, let's go back first, wait for me to find out, what is going on, and then think about it." ”

Ding Si'er saw that she was willing to help, as if he saw a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly got up to salute her, Feng Ling took a lot of effort to send him out of the store, and he still saw him turn back in three steps, and he was really looking forward to it.

After sending Ding Si'er, Feng Ling couldn't stay in the house, so he immediately went to the Kang family's wine store to find Kang Dazhi.

As soon as Kang Dazhi heard the word "cottonseed", he hurriedly threw a look at Feng Ling, and then glanced around, but fortunately, Feng Ling's voice was not loud, and no one paid attention to what she said. Feng Ling immediately understood, pressed the words, and followed Kang Dazhi to speak backwards.

"I'm afraid you'll ask, but if you really ask." Kang Dazhi closed the door and shook his head, "The matter of the Folding Mansion, which one can be less of your worries." I gave up my life to help, and I couldn't live for two days, and something happened again. ”

Although the grievance is a grievance, Kang Dazhi knows the affection of the wind spirit and the Yan Yan, and he has long regarded the Yan Yan as his own family in his heart, and he no longer does everything possible to prevent the wind spirit from acting for him in the past.

"The matter of cottonseed is unsolvable in the vicinity of Shazhou." He shrugged his shoulders, dipped his finger in the cup, and wrote the word "Suo" on the high table, "Who are you who should collect all the cottonseeds?" There is only one with a strong heart in Manshazhou, and only his family is there. He lost his eldest son, couldn't swallow his resentment, and learned that Captain Yan Du wanted to harvest cottonseeds, so he had an idea. ”

"Kill two birds with one stone." Feng Ling slapped his palm on the word "Suo" on the high table, "He made the cotton seeds on the market disappear to keep out the cold, because he wanted to freeze the soldiers to death." He also knew that the lieutenant cherished the soldiers of the government, and would definitely come to beg for the cottonseed he had hoarded, and he was waiting for this evil breath to come out. If he is good, or raise the price of cottonseed to sell to the captain, if he is not good, he will still have to teach the soldiers to freeze to death. ”

"That's it! This old thing is vicious, and he has already hurt the yin owl, and he still doesn't know how to repent and restrain himself. Kang Dazhi slapped his thigh and nodded angrily.

"He is short of wealth, I can still help him, but the short is the ...... goods," Feng Ling frowned and muttered to himself.

Kang Dazhi smacked his tongue and patted her on the shoulder, "Look at him for the sake of my sister-in-law in the future, this time my brother sent him a favor to delay a favor, and the method was also thought of for him." ”

He took out a stack of jute paper from his arms, "Brother knows a Xizhou guest, and he has a little friendship, he is doing the sale of cottonseeds." Brother Xiu a book, you hurry up and send it to the captain, tell him to send someone to buy the letter as soon as possible, then the Xizhou guest will be willing to sell my letter when he sees it, only one case, the cottonseed in his hand at this time is not to be treated, if he goes late, he is afraid of ......"

As soon as Feng Ling stretched out his hand and snatched the jute paper from Kang Dazhi's hand, he ran out of his leg and dropped a voice: "Thank you, brother." ”

On the way to Zhichong Mansion, Feng Ling had already made up his mind, but if this idea was taught to Kang Dazhi, he would definitely regret it, and cursed himself with all his strength to get such an idea for her.

Not to mention how Kang Dazhi was, but he said that it was delayed, and listening to Feng Ling, he said the news he had just heard thoroughly, his brows became tighter and tighter, without further ado, and he didn't care about being angry, he hurriedly called Han Meng and ordered him to order troops and prepare.

"Da Sabao's help, you thank him for me for the time being, and after the fact, when I copy the proclamation to the imperial court, I must mention this matter. Where are the letters? I'm going to take it. Fu Yanyan stretched out his hand to the wind spirit, but saw the wind spirit take two steps back and put the jute paper in his hand back into his arms.

"How many days does it take for the soldiers to travel from Shazhou to Xizhou?" The Wind Spirit asked.

Fu Yanyan thought for a while, "About half a month." ”

"Too slow." Feng Ling shook his head, "At this time, it is a prosperous currency market, as far as merchants are concerned, who is willing to hoard goods in their hands for half a month for no reason." ”

After flicking the delay and calculating it, he could almost pick up the pen between his eyebrows, "Half a moon is already day and night, no matter how fast it is, it kills the horse and hurts the government soldiers, but it is delayed." ”

Feng Ling smiled and said firmly: "I know a way, and it only takes seven or eight days to get Xizhou." ”

"Really? Possible to draw? Draw me the paths. Fu Yanyan's face showed joy.

Feng Ling slowly shook his head and drew a circle in his heart, "It's useless to draw, it's all here." ”

Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Mo He Yanmo? ”

"Exactly." Feng Ling's eyes flashed with excitement, and he didn't delay the time of refusal at all: "When I was a child, I walked with my father and brother a few times on Mohe Yanmoi, and it was not as terrifying as those people said. And because the caravan abandoned Mohe Yanmoi, it was very stable, and there were no bandits. ”

"If it's as good as you say, why did the caravan abandon it?" Fu Yanyan cut off her words, "Although I have never walked before, but I have read two books written by my predecessors, where the hot wind quicksand, sandstorm and ghosts, it will not be groundless?" ”

The Wind Spirit pursed her lips and curled his arm without saying a word, staring at him with a blank eye. Fu Tanyan's heart softened, and he said softly: "You have done too much for Zhichong Mansion for me." ”

Feng Ling rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "How the Zhichong Mansion has nothing to do with me, it's just that since you have promised me, I can't see you lose money, every shot is what I want to care about, and I should do as much as I want." ”

Fu Yanyan smiled and said, "It's full of seriousness." ”

Feng Ling straightened his face, "You just let me go, without further ado, once it's late, the soldiers will really be sad this winter." I'm cautious, I'm not 100% sure, I'm 70% sure. Moreover, looking at the whole Shazhou, apart from me, which one can take this trip for you? Can Soxh's disciples be willing? Ordinary merchants were reluctant to take this risk, unless they were afraid of the majesty of the captain. My brother is willing, but after all, he is a big Sabao, not to mention that he can't get away from Wang Shizhong, and it is not easy to offend Soh's guidance on the source of goods. ”

Feng Ling cautiously looked at his already somewhat relaxed brow, and coaxed: "It's a pity that Daddy and Mother gave birth to me as a daughter's family, if I could get a boy when I was reincarnated, I would have gone out to make a contribution." She smiled and hugged Fu Yanyan's arm, "I'm not working in vain, as the saying goes: wealth and wealth are sought in danger." It is not easy to lead the soldiers of the government to Mohe Yanqi in the end, ask the captain to reward a favor, and when he sends a proclamation to the imperial court, he will also mention the table, so as to teach me to have a touch of heaven's grace, and in the future, I will be like a tiger with wings in business affairs, okay? ”

After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded, and then called back Han Meng, and made another order, ordering him to pick more capable soldiers to come out for the wind spirit to choose.

Kang Dazhi knew that the wind spirit wanted to pass Mohe Yanmo, and because she came to him to borrow a camel. Kang Dazhi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and secretly regretted it again and again: he knew that she was going to pass Mohe Yanqi, so he shouldn't have pinched that idea for her.

Where was Feng Ling willing to let him shake his head, even coaxed and begged, but he blocked his complaints, she used two horses to resist a camel's market, and put her own horses against Kang Dazhi, but Kang Dazhi refused to accept it, and only said vigorously: "Good ancestor, if you can return safely, everything will be fine, don't mention the words that don't match." ”

Mi Shi came out of the inside with Ah Tuan in his arms, and only heard the words "Mohe Yanmoi", and his face turned pale. "Wind Spirit, have you really figured it out? Although there will be no bandit scourge in the moraine, it can ...... But it was also a dangerous situation, my eldest brother back then, that is, he was not in the quicksand in the moraine......" said as he said, his eyes turned red.

"The wind spirit will leave tomorrow, what are you talking about here!" Kang Dazhi stopped Mi's words, "Hugh is mentioning those frustrating things, Feng Ling has lived a lot since she was a child, and she has a wide range of knowledge, so she will never find the wrong way." ”

He said this as if he was speaking to himself, and then turned to the wind spirit, "Do you remember the marked doorway all the way?" ”

"Brother and sister-in-law, just rest assured." Feng Ling nodded affirmatively. Ah Tuan in Mi's arms smiled at Feng Ling, stretched out two little arms, and reached for her, with a vague sound of "aunt, aunt" in his mouth.

Feng Ling hurriedly hugged Ah Tuan, and laughed and laughed for a while, so as to resist Mi's worries that he wanted to talk about, and the worries that Kang Dazhi hid in his eyes.

At dawn the next day, the drums in Dunhuang City sounded earlier than the five, it was a jingling camel bell at the city gate, and Feng Ling led his own family and the Kang family to borrow, a total of forty camels, leisurely out of the city, but deviated from the usual trade road, to a road with more loess smoke and dust.

In addition to the five people selected by the Feng Ling family who had walked through Mohe Yanmoi, the Zhichong Mansion sent about twenty other government soldiers to follow. Camels do not move faster than horses, and it is not until dawn that they leave the place where they live.

Although there is no desert ahead, there are few plants. The wind spirit meditated on the camel for a while, revisiting the route in his mind. When she opened her eyes again, she ordered her followers to stop the entire group.

The tribe and the soldiers all got off the camel's back and gathered around her. Feng Ling's feet have already been paved with a large piece of thick felt, the thick felt listed more than 30 bags, Feng Ling pointed to those bags, "Each person receives a bag, each of them keeps it, everything in it can save people's lives in danger, it must be well managed, remember to remember." Whether or not he can get out of Mohe Yanmoi alive is all about this bag. ”

Everyone solemnly took their bags, and when they arrived, they felt that their bags were so heavy that they could barely lift them. When I looked at it, I saw that it was a felt skin, which was wrapped in three bulging sheepskin bladders, a few dry and hard cakes, a pack of dried bacon, a white porcelain bottle, and a small curved blade.

"The big sand moraine is very hot during the day, cold at night, and it is difficult to pay the account, the two of them share the felt, a felt pavement and a felt quilt, and they rely on each other to avoid freezing to death at night. Water bladder one person three, don't think that two days to drink a bag is enough, although six days can get out of the big sand moraine, but can not ensure not to take the wrong way, more delays, so can save the province. The same is true for dry food. When the distribution was finished, the wind spirit stood before the people and preached loudly.

She was dressed in a convenient bearded woman's outfit, with a wide plain veil wrapped in her head to toe, no fat and pink hairpins, and no hair in a bun, except for a handful of black hair braided into a large braid, which was placed diagonally on one side of her chest.

"What's in this water, it's all spoiled!" Some soldiers pulled the stopper of the sheepskin sac, lowered their heads and sniffed, and a sour smell wafted out of the sheepskin bladder. As soon as he shouted like this, all the soldiers sniffed their water bladders and exclaimed.

Feng Ling said indifferently: "What's the fuss, where is the ordinary drinking water enough to support getting out of the big sand moraine, here is sour pulp water, celery leaves and leek leaves, the smell is worse, but it is life-saving water, and quenching your thirst is far better than ordinary drinking water." ”

Everyone will be suspicious, they have never walked through the moraine, for the sake of their lives, and they dare not be careless, and carefully plug the water bladder plug. Several subordinates couldn't help but sneer on the side, because they all walked through Mohe Yanmo, they couldn't help but be proud.

Another soldier took out the small curved blade from his bag and said disdainfully: "We are in the army, and we are always on the side, what do you want this little blade to do?" ”

This time, the wind spirit only glanced at the soldiers of Nafu and did not make a sound, and the original smiling subordinates immediately laughed and closed their voices together. The soldiers were puzzled, and asked again, and someone in the trilogy said coldly: "The water is exhausted, the quicksand is not topped, and the wolves are surrounded. ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers silently glanced at each other, and they all stopped speaking.

"Let's go." The wind spirit took a deep breath and turned back to step onto the camel. The camel, the leader of the caravan, snorted heavily, and rose from the ground in the lead. (To be continued.) )
