Mo Buyu's rough voice made the man stunned, glanced at him and Alexey, a different color flashed in his eyes, and said to Yu Qian and Yang Muyun behind them: "Isn't Your Excellency also going to Juyong Pass?" ”

"Exactly," Yu Qian replied, "If you don't think you're slow, I'm willing to walk with you." ”

The man looked back at the long line of ox carts, smiled and arched his hand: "If you get off the car slowly, you won't delay your trip, forgive me!" The implication is to refuse.

Yu Qian was not reluctant, arched his hand, and rode his horse first.

"May I ask if your car is full of leather goods?" Yang Muyun asked the man as he rode past him.

The man obviously didn't expect that this young man, who was wrapped like a dumpling on his horse, would suddenly ask himself, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Well, they are all good leather goods from outside the customs, do you want to come and have a look?" ”

"No need." Yang Muyun smiled faintly and rode past him.

The other party seemed to wait for them to go first, and stood there without moving, and only when they reached about a mile away did the long line of ox carts slowly move.

"These businessmen are very hard, and they are still running around on such a cold day." Yu Qian sighed.

"Does Lord Yu really think that they are all ordinary business travelers?" Yang Muyun smiled at the corner of his lips.

"Mu Yun doesn't think there's anything wrong with them?" Yu Qian asked with a star.

Yang Muyun didn't answer, and asked the two door gods who opened the road in front: "That person just now said that the car was loaded with leather goods, what do you think?" ”

Mo Buyu smiled and turned his head, "I don't understand this......"

Before he could finish speaking, Alexei next to him opened his mouth and said something.

"He said that the car was indeed loaded with leather goods," Mo Buyu glanced at him and explained: "He smells the smell of leather, but ......"

"But what?" Yu Qian asked curiously.

"He said that the wheels were very deeply imprinted," Mo Bu said, "If the car was only loaded with leather, the wheels would not have been able to roll such deep rut marks on this road." ”

"Oh? What's going to be on that car? Yu Qian looked at the Alek track.

Mo Buyu translated Yu Qian's words into Mongolian for him, and Alexei muttered again.

"He said it was hard to say, if there was some gold, silver, copper and iron mixed in the skin, the car would be much heavier." Mo Bu said silently.

"Can't you see?" Yu Qian glanced at Alexei with appreciation, "This color-eyed man looks at it quite carefully." He turned to Yang Muyun and said, "Do you think there is entrainment in these cars?" ”

"It's not strange to have entrainment," Yang Muyun smiled, "Traveling thousands of miles just for money, many business travelers will carry some private goods, just take the Tartars smuggling my Ming armor and arms a few months ago, they smuggled gunpowder out of the capital in wine jars." ”

"These people are Tartars?" Yu Qian looked sideways and asked with a slight frown.

"It's hard to say," Yang Muyun shook his head slightly, "I have a lot of Hu businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, and it's normal that they are not Han Chinese." This leather goods are also in high demand in my Ming Dynasty, especially in winter, and they are in great demand. Tartar does not have the technology of deep processing of leather nitrate, and the middlemen who sell it to my Ming Dynasty can be cut into soft and gorgeous leather robes, furs, leather blankets, and felt mattresses, and the profits can be increased by more than ten or even dozens of times, and many people are willing to take risks and are willing to go back and forth to the Central Plains to traffic leather goods. ”

"Mu Yun also seems to know a lot about Shang Jia's affairs." Yu Qian said with some surprise.

"Don't hide it from your lordship," Yang Muyun said: "The lowly father-in-law is a big merchant in Huzhou, so he is a little bit of a businessman. ”

"No wonder," Yu Qian nodded, and glanced back again, only to see that the oxcart team had always kept a distance of about a mile from his side, and followed unhurriedly, "These people seem to be very wary of us!" ”

"Your Excellency wants to check their goods?"

"The old man really wants to," Yu Qian sighed, "but there are still important things to do, and there can be no delay, so let's leave them to the defenders of Juyong Pass to investigate their affairs!" ”

————————————

Juyong Pass, located in the northwest of Beijing, is known as the four major passes in western Beijing with the Fallen Horse Pass, Bauhinia Pass and Guguan, and is known as the key to the western part of Beijing. The tall and magnificent Guancheng is like a giant standing at the pass between two mountains, and the gray Great Wall extending to the mountains on both sides is like the arms of giants, protecting the beautiful rivers and mountains behind them. Nine times out of ten, business travelers from the west to the east went to the capital from here.

When Yu Qian and Yang Muyun and their party came to the huge gate, there was a long queue before the gate.

Yang Muyun squinted his eyes and looked at it, Juyong Pass was taller and more majestic than the Dushikou and Zhenning Pass he had seen before. The blue-gray wall is about five or six zhang high, the towering gate building on the wall is straight into the sky, the building is three stories high, it is the top of the mountain for the heavy eaves, the four corners are raised high, like the wings that are spread. Both above and below the city were full of officers and soldiers wearing helmets and armor, holding swords and spears, looking like they were facing a great enemy. The border guards are alarmed, and the inventory here is also much stricter than usual. Amid the shouts of the gatekeepers, the flow of people entering the gate slowly moved forward.

Yu Qian's brows furrowed, and he rode his horse past the long line in front of the gate until he reached the pass. According to his usual style of acting, he doesn't want to be so ostentatious, but if he is in a hurry to get through, he can't care much about it.

When the gatekeeper saw an old man in civilian clothes coming straight towards him, he neither lined up nor dismounted, so he shouted: "That old man, what are you doing on horseback, don't come down quickly." Before the words fell, a soldier stepped forward quickly and grabbed the horse's bridle, the horse was startled, his front hooves were in the air, and he almost didn't take Yu Qian off.

Yang Muyun saw that it was not good, his left hand tightened the leather robe covering his body, jumped over, landed on Yu Qian's side, and stretched out his right hand and firmly supported his waist.

"Your Excellency......" he opened his mouth, "snap-" a whip on the shoulder. A small officer with a meaty face whipped at him, "Boy, what are you doing with this old man, why don't you get to the back quickly......" Before he finished speaking, he only heard a cold snort, and the left and right sides of the face were slapped once, and he was stunned, and a handsome young man stared at him coldly, these two slaps must have been hit by her.

"You...... You dare to hit your own officer, and you have reversed," the junior officer blushed with anger and waved his arm, "brothers, take him down for me." ”

"Hula-" A group of soldiers rushed forward, and Mo Buyu, Alexei, and Yu Qian's personal soldiers also greeted them.

"Choke-" The blades were bright, pointing at each other.

"What are you doing?" Yu Qian glanced majestically around the horse, "Don't take the knife back quickly." ”

Mo Buyu and the others hesitated for a moment, and then put the knife back into its sheath.

At this time, the gatekeeper separated the officials and everyone stepped forward and glanced at Yu Qian and the others, "Who are you?" ”

Yu Qian turned over and dismounted, walked in front of him, took out an official defense from his cuff and handed it over. The gatekeeper glanced at it slightly, and saw that it was covered with a bright red military seal, and his heart was shocked, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Ouch, disrespectful, it turned out to be an adult from Beijing, delaying your trip, angry, forgive your sin." I don't know how many adults and entourage there are on this trip, please point them out one by one, and the lower officials will let them go. As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed at his subordinates with a single knife with a sheath, and shouted: "Belch, what doesn't open your eyes, don't quickly take back the knife, remove the deer, and give way to the adult car." ”

The petty officers and the soldiers reluctantly put away their swords and guns, turned to the people who were waiting in line to enter the gate and shouted, "Didn't you hear? Shangguan from Jingli is about to enter the customs, so he should get out of the way quickly. A few soldiers hurried to the gate, and moved away from the deer with their hands and feet.

"Your Excellency, please!" The goalkeeper nodded to Yu Qian and said with a smile: "If there is anything else that needs to be done for you, please feel free to speak." ”

Yu Qian frowned and waved his hand, "The matter of this official coming here does not need to be publicized, and it must not disturb the people because of this. ”

"Yes, yes."

"Also, there will be a team of merchants selling leather goods who will enter the customs later, you have to take a good look."

"Yes, yes, the little one understands." The goalkeeper nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

......

Entering the Juyong Pass, Yang Muyun arched his hand towards Lin Mei'er, "Mei'er, thank you just now." ”

Lin Mei'er's face turned red and she didn't dare to look at him, "You better quickly find a place to change your clothes, otherwise it will be bad if you get cold." ”

"Hmm, got it." Yang Muyun hasn't finished speaking, Lin

Mei'er had gotten into the car.

"Mu Yun," Yu Qian said beside him, "After passing the urn city, when you get to the post house, you can quickly rest, take a hot bath, and drive away the cold." ”

"Thank you, sir." Yang Muyun snorted, his heart was relieved, and he suddenly felt dizzy, a little unsteady on his feet. Mo Buyu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Hey, are you okay, my lord?" ”

"I'm ......" Yang Muyun rolled his eyes and fell on his back.

————————————

In the Juyongguan Post House, an old man in green clothes is taking the pulse of Yang Muyun. Yu Qian, Lin Meier, Mo Buyu and others watched nervously.

The old man took the pulse for a while, then reached out and lifted Yang Muyun's eyelids to look at it, and shook his head.

"How is he now, doctor?" Lin Meier couldn't help but ask.

"This boy has not rested well because he has been running around for days, and his qi is weak and his body ......is tired," the old man lifted his clothes, "You see, there are eleven large and small scars on his body, which should be wounds caused within ten months, excessive blood loss, excessive fatigue, and soaked in cold and biting water, and he was wrapped in cold clothes and walked in the wind and snow for several hours, cold and wet to the bone, and the cold air entered the skull and caused fainting. Sighing, "The old man will prescribe a few pills to try first, and it depends on his creation if he wakes up or not." As he spoke, he got up and picked up a pen and wrote the recipe on a piece of straw paper.

"There are a few pairs of medicines that are extremely rare, and the old man doesn't have them here," the old man in Tsing Yi pointed to the prescription and said: "Purple herb and blood lotus ginseng, you might as well go out and find them, there are many pharmacists in the south and north of Juyong Guancheng, and there should be several large pharmacies in the city." ”

"Thank you, sir," Yu Qian arched his hand to him, "I'll send someone to grab the medicine." ”

"Also," the old man in Tsing Yi advised: "The doors and windows must be closed tightly, and no trace of cold air can be penetrated. ”

......

After Yu Qian sent the old man in Tsing Yi out, Lin Meier stared deeply at Yang Muyun, who was lying unconscious on the bed, bit her lip, and said to Mo Bu: "You take care of him here, I'll go get the medicine, if he has any mistakes, I'll ...... I won't spare you. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

"Miss Lin don't worry," Mo Buyu patted his chest, "If something goes wrong with me, I'll screw off my big head for you!" ”

"What do I want your head to do?" Lin Mei'er glared at him, "Just be careful, listen, you can't leave him half a step before I come back." ”

"Yes, I must be nailed here, even if I pee on, I won't leave half a step."

Hearing what he said about pickling and vulgarity, Lin Meier frowned, sighed quietly, and turned around and walked out of the house.

Lin Meier didn't take a few steps out of the door when she heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and turned to look sideways to see that it was Alexey.

"Lin," Alexei bowed to Lin Mei'er's chest, "please let me go with you, I may be able to help save the master." "He speaks Mongolian, and there is no obstacle to communicating with Lin Meier.

"You stay here with Buyu to take care of Mu Yun......"

"No, no, no," Alex shook his head like a rattle, "just take care of the master and he will be alone, I don't worry if you go out alone, so let's go with you, right?" ”

"Why don't you worry about me going out?" Lin Mei'er laughed for a while in her heart, but she couldn't resist him, so she nodded and agreed.

......

Juyong Guancheng is located in the throat of Beijing and the northwest, there are many business travelers, developed commerce, convenient transportation, so the market is very prosperous. Shops, pawnshops, oil shops, pharmacies, jewellery shops, tea shops, pubs and pubs. In addition to the people of the Central Plains, there were also merchants from all over the country, including many blonde and blue-eyed Hu merchants, so the people here were not too surprised to see Alexey's appearance as a man with colored eyes. Alexey guarded Lin Mei'er tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be hit and hurt by something.

Looking at his respectful appearance to herself, Lin Mei'er suddenly felt in her heart, "It turns out that he regards me as Yang Muyun's woman, and protecting the master's woman is what he should do." Thinking of this, he didn't feel a trace of annoyance, but a burst of sweetness surged in his heart, "This wrongdoer, just like that, saves people, which makes me how to face him in the future." Thinking about it, his lips seemed to be a little hot, and he raised his slender fingers and stroked it, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
