Chapter 5 The Sui Dynasty Merchant Group
Xiao Yu heard that there was a horse chasing after him, and he was very competitive at the moment, and he used most of his Dao Qi to his feet, and he picked up the skyscraper footwork, accelerated his speed again, and chased after him.
The handsome man on horseback smiled slightly when he saw this, and hurried up to catch up.
The horses in front of them did not know the changes in the rear, and galloped aimlessly along the official road, but there were not many pedestrians on the road, but they did not hurt other innocent people.
After chasing for a short time, the sound of the horse's hooves behind was getting closer and closer, Xiao Yu was impatient, and he wanted to speed up again with his Dao Qi, but helplessly, Xiao Yu was just starting out, no matter how hard he tried, the horses in front were getting farther and farther away, and the sound of the horses' hooves behind was already clearly audible, and even the dust splashed by the horses' hooves gradually surrounded Xiao Yu.
The handsome man on the horse quickly caught up with Xiao Yu, arched his hand towards Xiao Yu, but did not answer, pulled out a set of horse poles with his right hand, turned in an arc in the air, grabbed the reins with his left hand, and chased after him. As he spoke, he disappeared around the bend ahead.
After being overtaken by the man on horseback, Xiao Yu slowed down.
At this time, Xiao Yu had completely calmed down, and secretly thought, "Before the master went down the mountain, he taught me many times that when I go out, I should not be easily angry, and I should not be competitive, what is wrong with me, I am so impulsive." ”
Just as Xiao Yu was complaining to himself, the man on horseback had already returned the same way, and he didn't know what method he used, and the frightened horse was obediently following and jogging.
Seeing that the man on horseback was coming towards him, Xiao Yu didn't move around at the moment, stood in place, and slapped the dirt on his body vigorously, but the wet mud made his clothes even more unbearable. No, Xiao Yu had to pat the large piece of dirt on his body and wait for the arrival of the man on horseback.
When the man on horseback saluted him on his horse just now, he was trying to catch up, and he hadn't noticed it yet, but now that the man was getting closer, Xiao Yu began to look at the man's appearance.
The man on the horse looked to be in his twenties, with a smooth face and an angular firmness; With dark and deep eyes, uninhibited arrogance, thick eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, although he is not very old, he is born with a convincing momentum.
When the man was about two feet away from Xiao Yu, he jumped off the horse neatly, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he walked towards Xiao Yu quickly.
When he approached, the man put his hands together on his chest and solemnly saluted: "The frightened horse just now disturbed Your Excellency, please forgive me, and make amends." ”
The other party said so, and Xiao Yu didn't have to say anything, so he had to learn to look like a man and salute: "It's okay, it's okay, well, um, Your Excellency doesn't have to worry." ”
The man heard that Xiao Yu knew how to cut the rhyme and smiled slightly, "Under the cheap name Li Li, you haven't asked your Excellency for your name?" ”
"My surname is Xiao, and my single name is a single name, so you can call me Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu is still not used to the title of Your Excellency and Under on the scene.
"Okay Brother Xiao, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Li." Li Li smiled slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze, extremely comfortable.
"Li Li"
"Big Brother Lee"
The two people who were chasing the horses with Li Li finally caught up at this time.
"If Brother Xiao doesn't dislike it, please return to the convoy with me, first, our 'group leader' must make amends for Brother Xiao, and secondly", Li Li looked at Xiao Yu's sloppy appearance and smiled apologetically: "Second, Brother Xiao also change his clothes and freshen up." ”
Xiao Yu's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and his good impression of Li Li increased greatly in his heart, although it was the first time they met, but this person had a bold personality, which made people have an inexplicable sense of closeness.
"Okay, I'm tired of Brother Li leading the way." Xiao Yu arched his hand.
"Okay", Li Li stretched out his right hand and said, "Please." ”。
"Please."
The two horsemen behind had already caught up, rolled off the saddle one after another, and bowed their hands to Li Li and Xiao Yu, but they didn't answer, took the horses, and followed behind the two people.
Not long after leaving, the large army behind chased after him, dozens of horses ran at the same time, and the official road trembled slightly, Xiao Yu had never seen this kind of scene, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and felt a little shocked in his heart.
The large army stopped in front, Li Li saw this and hurriedly led Xiao Yu forward, and the two people behind drove their horses to the rear of the convoy.
Xiao Yu looked at it as he walked.
The convoy consisted of more than a dozen carriages, and there were twenty or thirty strong men on horseback scattered around them, and if you looked closely, there were two or three people who were tall, with white skin, slender faces, high noses, and buttoned shirts, and each carrying a longbow, and they were actually several Turks.
In the middle of the park are two relatively luxurious carriages, surrounded by riders faintly surrounding them. The carriage was pulled by two jujube red horses, and even people like Xiao Yu who didn't know horses faintly felt that these two horses were not mortal.
On the wheel of the first luxury carriage was a large flag about 5 feet high, on which a big character "Han" was written, and standing on the side of the big flag under the car was a white-faced man who looked about the same age as Li Li.
The white-faced man has a slender face, convex eyebrows and concave eyes, a hooked nose, a clean face, a clean round-necked robe on his body, and a blue-black hood on his head.
On the way, Li Li had already told Xiao Yu about the origin of these people.
This group was a merchant group of the Sui Dynasty, who had just finished buying mink skins and other goods in the Turks, and planned to come to Goguryeo to buy some more ginseng before returning to the Central Plains.
Before the white-faced man, Li Li also mentioned to Xiao Yu that he was the "leader" of this business group.
After seeing the true face of the "group leader", Xiao Yu was a little puzzled in his heart. In his imagination, the group owner should be tall and mighty, which makes people feel afraid at a glance, and this is obviously the image of a weak scholar, how can he not be linked to the business group owner who goes south and north.
Wondering and bored, Xiao Yu didn't stop at his feet, and walked straight to the white-faced man.
"The owner of the group, the frightened horses have chased back, Alibu has been taken to the back to be settled, this is", Li Li pointed at Xiao Yu, "This is Xiao Yu's little brother, I almost collided with this little brother just now, fortunately, the little brother is agile and dodges in time, but fortunately it did not cause a big disaster." ”
"The brothers under his command were not strictly guarded, and the horses were shocked, and the little brother who was almost involved, Han made amends here." After speaking, the white-faced man solemnly saluted Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu hurriedly returned the salute when he saw this.
"The group leader is serious, this is also to blame for not dodging in time, I can't blame you all." Xiao Yu was already angry at this time.
"Under the surname Han, a single name is a righteous word, if you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Han, you are not a member of the business group, you don't have to stick to these customs." The white-faced man continued.
"Brother Han." Xiao Yu said busily.
"Haha, little brother, we are also destined, so let's let someone take you first..."
"Hey, why did this person become a mud monkey, haha, Ziyan, Le Die, come and see, haha, this person laughed at me."
Before Han Yi finished his sentence, a pleasant voice came along with the breeze, although the voice was good, but the words he said were not very suitable for the current occasion, Han Yi frowned slightly.
Following the voice, Xiao Yu looked up.
Not far away, there were three girls in men's clothes, and the two women on the left and right called "Ziyan" and "Le Die" looked towards Xiao Yu while pursing their lips and snickering.
A girl in the middle is dressed in white, although it is a man's clothes, but the girl's delicate curves are still unseen, the girl at this time laughed the most exaggeratedly, and actually smiled and bent over, thanks to the support of the two maids next to her.
"Yan'er, don't make trouble, leave quickly", Han Yi scolded, "Ziyan, Le Die, you two come here, help fetch a basin of water, and take a few of my clothes to change into for this little brother." ”
"Little brother, don't mind, at this time, my daughter Liyan and her two maids, this time they came out to purchase, they have to follow along, they offended my brother in their words just now, please don't care about my face." Han Yi turned his head to look at Xiao Yu and said slightly apologetically.
Xiao Yu, who had just calmed down, was ridiculed by several young girls, his face suddenly turned red, he looked down at the ground, and was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, hearing Han Yi apologize to himself, Xiao Yu hurriedly raised his head and returned the salute, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Brother Han is serious." ”
"You two can't come here yet?! Take this little brother down! Han Yi saw that Xiao Yu was not careful, but he didn't continue.
The two maids also ran over, and Han Liyan, who was standing in the middle, heard that her father was angry and had long since disappeared.
"Ah, that's comfortable." Xiao Yu, who had changed his clothes, was arranging his hair with warm water.
"Hey, mud monkey, haha, alas, how did you wash it, it's not fun to wash it." The pleasant voice just now sounded behind the girl's body fragrance again.
Xiao Yu was furious when he heard this, quickly straightened his hair, and turned his head to the side with a flash.
A delicate-looking girl is looking at herself with a hippie smile.
"Ding..." , Xiao Yu felt as if something had been ignited in his heart.
The girl can't say how natural she is, with phoenix eyes, a small nose, and a natural look of charm, which makes Xiao Yu, who has never been out of Motianling and Sui'an Town, feel a little ashamed.
This is Han Yi's daughter Han Liyan's.
Xiao Yu walked as if he was running away from something.
"Alas, mud monkey, where are you going, ask why you don't speak, I heard Brother Li say that you don't know how to cut rhyme? It won't be a dumb person. Han Liyan was in hot pursuit.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he walked faster.
"Well, wait for me, why are you going so fast? ,Ahh Han Liyan shifted her attention.
Hearing Han Liyan say about her hair, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that he had just wanted to apply the master's secret plaster to his hair but was interrupted by Han Liyan.
It turned out that Xiao Yu was born with yellow hair, but for some reason, since he was a child, the master made a kind of ointment for himself to apply because of constipation, although the master has been unwilling to explain the reason, but after so many years, he has become accustomed to it.
Xiao Yu glanced back at the girl, and immediately turned his head and sighed, wanting to find a place to apply the ointment.
"Yan'er, you're making trouble again, didn't you tell you not to disturb this little brother? You're getting more and more disobedient. Han Yi's voice came from behind.
"No, father, look. His hair, haha, half black, half yellow, haha, laughed at me. Han Liyan was still laughing.
"Huh?"
Han Yi turned to look at the top of Xiao Yu's head not far away.
Well? Han Yi's eyes lit up instantly, and he understood a little bit when he looked at the medicine bottle Xiao Yu held in his hand.
Xiao Yu stood in place awkwardly, stepped forward to say hello, turned around and left, and was hesitating, Han Yi finally discovered his embarrassment.
"Yan'er, go to the back and see that Alibu is teaching the frightened horse, don't you like to see this the most? Hurry up and go. Han Yi relieved Xiao Yu of the siege.
"Really?" Han Liyan's eyes lit up, "I'll go now." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.
Han Yi turned his head and stared at Xiao Yu and said, "My daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child, little brother, please take care of yourself." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, so that Xiao Yu's embarrassment did not last too long.
After finishing up, Xiao Yu wanted to leave directly, but he didn't expect Han Yi to invite Xiao Yu to go with him after hearing that he was also going to Xiangping City, coupled with Li Li's persuasion on the side, Xiao Yu may feel that it is good to have a care on the road, or for other reasons, he should come down and go to Xiangping City with Han Yi's business group.
