360 Arrive at Shengjing

The weather in June in Liaodong is warm, not as hot as in the south, but you can feel the long-lost heat rushing at night.

Until now, the principal of the Chen caravan has not caught a glimpse of the true face of the group of women who are wrapped tightly in the procession, even if at this time, due to reasons such as hurry and weather, most of the people in the caravan have changed into short coats, exposing their arms and thighs to dissipate heat, but the group of women in the caravan party are not moved at all and are still the same.

Ma San and the others followed the local customs, dressed up with the guys of the Chen caravan, and even the accent became similar to the Jinzhong guys of the Chen caravan during the month's road exchange.

After passing through the border defense line from the secret mountain road and entering the territory of the Jurchens, the Chen caravan no longer had to hide and walk cautiously as before, but could walk on the avenue, but the speed was much faster.

Along the way, I met many Jurchen barbarians and Mongolian barbarians, but under the negotiation of the Chen caravan's principal, no one came to trouble their caravan, but there were many tribes who came to the caravan with the good furs, ginseng and other special products they hunted, and bought cotton and linen cloth, iron tools and so on from the hinterland.

Although it is only a small amount of money, the principal of the Chen caravan does not refuse to come, but all the tribesmen who come to exchange items are warmly welcomed, but the proportion of this exchange is amazingly black, a good quality of decades old ginseng, but can only be exchanged for a few feet of cotton cloth, a complete black bear horse, not even a crude long knife.

This is the reason why the Chen caravan is willing to take a great risk and is willing to come to Liaodong to smuggle goods, in fact, it has become a seller's market, and the people of the Guanwai tribe want to buy things, but the price can only be set by these smuggling caravans, and the locals do not have any right to refute.

Even the caravan does not have to worry about the danger of life, will be blacked out by the black, since the Jin Dynasty several major smuggling families were given a pot of end, implicated in the smuggling industry in the border area, many smuggling caravans have been caught, and even affected the proprietor of the business, so that it has become an important source for Emperor Chongzhen to fill the deflated wallet.

And now the caravans that dare to risk being targeted by the Jinyi Guards and run to the smuggling trade in the Qing Dynasty are all guests of the Qing Dynasty and are regarded as protected animals, who would dare to fight the idea of these caravans.

Ma San and the others, who have been walking with the caravan and have no other actions, at this time after arriving in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, they are taking action, every time they go to a village and tribe to rest, the Chen caravan can always hear Ma San and their group know the sound of Suosuo's actions, although after getting up the next morning, the other party returned to normal, but the head of the Chen caravan knows that the other party must have made a big move at night.

Although the principal of the Chen caravan did not know the identity of this group of people who were told by the owner to obey their orders and suddenly joined, but in the past month or so, the principal who has traveled south and north and had various dealings with the three sects and nine streams is clear from the daily details and occasional momentum of the other party, and the other party is just and should be a heroic person in the green forest, especially the scars between the chest and abdomen that are faintly leaked out in some short shirts, all of which make the principal feel very frightened afterwards.

However, the principal of the Chen caravan is also a person who knows how to measure, since they have let the other party cooperate with the actions of others on the winter solstice, presumably the other party has a die-related connection with his owner, and the other party did not embarrass himself and others too much along the way, he is also happy to pretend to be confused, as if he does not know the other party's actions in secret.

The final destination of the Chen caravan is naturally the most prosperous Shengjing City in the Qing Kingdom, although it is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, when you really get close to Shengjing City, you will understand that this Qing capital is too simple compared to the Ming Jingshi, and even compared to famous cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, it is only a capital built by barbarians, not only can it not be compared with the Ming Dynasty in terms of population, but even the night difference between commercial shops, restaurants, tea shops and the like is too much, and I can't complain that the Qing people have always respected the Ming smuggling caravan as a guest.

It was not the first day that the Chen caravan had been trading with Shengjing, and when it entered Shengjing, it did not arouse the suspicions of any other people, except for the soldiers at the outposts inside and outside the city gate who checked it several times.

Even the leaders of the checkpoints, for the women in the caravan who were tightly wrapped, after a few actions such as kind words and secret obscurity from the head of the Chen caravan, they were not even inspected, and they were directly released.

Ma San and they have always been the same as Ma Daha on the surface when they traveled all the way, and they were not much different from ordinary guys, but in fact, the string in their hearts was tight, and they were always in a state of caution, and they never relaxed at all.

Especially when they arrived at the gate of Shengjing City, they were even more nervous, and secretly held the dagger hidden in their bodies and the weapon hidden in the goods.

Fortunately, it turned out to be uneventful, and after following the Chen caravan to the inn where they usually lived, the group directly chartered the most remote rooms and entered, shutting the door shut, and no one knew what they were doing in it.

Although the guys in the caravan had always been curious about the origin of the group of people who suddenly joined along the way, but under the daily reprimands of the Chen principal, they did not dare to look or observe at all, so they had to cough while doing their own thing.

In the room where Ma Sanyi and his gang lived, a group of people were huddled in a large board room, encouraging each other, and everyone's faces were full of excitement, excitement and an indescribable strange look.

This kind of demeanor makes people feel a little creepy, just like the fanatical believers who believe in religion and other things, have a strong firm belief in their hearts, and are fanatical about the beliefs in their hearts, and are willing to give everything for it.

In another large board room, it was a different look, the group of masked people who had been saying to the outside world that they were accompanying the women, at this time Zhongyi showed their true faces, but they were a group of men of different types, many of whom were shirtless and walked with everyone before, and finally suddenly disappeared.
