In order to get the raw materials, they had to change direction and head south. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Six carriages drove on the official road, among which Ye Cheng's carriage was running in front, followed by a carriage with large boxes, and each carriage had two large boxes tied to it.

Two rows of white-robed soldiers on horseback guarded the chests to keep the gold inside.

But this was not enough, so General Lai rode behind with nearly 2,000 white-robed soldiers to protect him to ensure that the gold was safe.

Lai Zhongjin changed his previous cynical state, changed into a white dress, tied up his hair, and revealed the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man's face. A blue belt is tied around the waist, and a piece of jade jade pendant hangs on the left side of the belt. It was the only piece of gold and silver jewelry he had on him, and the rings and everything from before had been packed into a large box.

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, this team of more than 2,000 people was ready to set off from Zhuolan County, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually darkening, and there was only a round of fiery sunset left in the distant sky.

As the team continued to move forward, the last rays of sunset had disappeared into the sky.

The torches prepared before were lit in the procession, and the long procession was like a fiery snake on the official road against the backdrop of the firelight.

In the carriage of the first carriage, An Xin lit the two torches in Ye Cheng's hand with a flint, and then Ye Cheng turned around and walked out of the carriage, inserting the torches on both sides of the roof, so that the burning end hung outward, ensuring that the fire illuminated the road ahead.

The firelight illuminated the two meters in front of the horse's head red.

Ye Cheng sat down with his back against the left side of the curtain and said, "Big boss, the vision is not good at night, let's slow down and go slowly."

The big boss immediately pulled the horse back to slow down the horse's speed. Regarding Ye Cheng's invitation to go to Laiyuan County together, the big boss was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Wouldn't it be better for you to let Brother Bai and Brother Beimao follow you if you want our two sisters to go to Laiyuan County with you?" ”

"We're going to do business, not fight. Big boss, you and Miss Anxin have managed a village as big as the village in the village, and you must be a person who can bargain and make careful calculations, so it is better to take you than them" Ye Cheng explained with his back against the wall of the carriage and looking ahead.

After hearing this, the big boss thought for a while, his face became a little solemn, and said, "If I am still the head of the village, we escort so many gold, silver and jewelry to Laiyuan County, and there may be accidents along the way."

Ye Cheng was taken aback! Turning his head to look at the big boss on the right, he said, "You mean someone will rob the road?" ”

The big boss nodded solemnly.

"But we have more than 2,000 soldiers to follow, and General Lai personally transported them, who is so bold?" Ye Cheng said in a panic.

Suddenly, Concubine Zhao lifted the curtain, leaned against the car door and looked at Ye Cheng, and said with a charming look, "Oh, as long as you have a little strength, who cares if you are a general or how many soldiers you have." Those ten large chests of gold and silver jewels were enough for them to take a chance."

An Xin also lifted the curtain on one side and stretched out his head, glared at Concubine Zhao with an angry look, then looked at Ye Cheng, and said, "She's right, the ten boxes of gold in the back are enough for ordinary people to live for ten lifetimes, if it is known, someone will definitely take a risk."

When the three of them said this, Ye Cheng was also worried, and he looked panicked.

Before, he thought that relying on the generals and soldiers would ensure that everything was safe, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed a little inappropriate.

Ye Cheng's expression was even more flustered, and he secretly thought in his heart, "Even so, as long as others don't find out that it contains gold, there should be no problem for the time being." But it takes five or six days to go to Laiyuan County, how can we ensure that there are no accidents? ”

Seeing Ye Cheng in a daze looking ahead, he was relieved, shook Ye Cheng's shoulder, and asked, "...... What are you thinking? ”

Ye Cheng shook his senses and said in a panic, "It's nothing, big boss, you go ahead first, I'll go and have a look at the back"

With that, he immediately jumped out of the carriage.

The slow-moving carriage didn't bring much inertia, so he stood steadily on the ground. It's just that it's pitch black all around, and without torches around, it's as if he's blended into the darkness.

As the team behind followed, there was a fire around Ye Cheng. He ran in the opposite direction of the firelight, behind the big box.

When Lai Zhongjin saw him, he asked strangely, "Why did you get out of the car?" ”

"General Lai, I'm worried that someone will rob the road on this road, so I want to come and discuss countermeasures with you" Ye Cheng turned his head and walked on the road next to the horse, looking up at Lai Zhongjin on horseback, and said in a panic.

Lai Zhongjin suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, you can rest assured." We have more than 2,000 people here, and if the other side does not have a team of several thousand people, they will not dare to come forward and rob the road. And I also hung up the banner of the Lai family army, and anyone in the Tiangu Kingdom who saw this flag had to retreat."

"Go back to the carriage, and after two or three hours, we'll be stationed to cook, and we'll rest before we hit the road."

Ye Cheng returned to the carriage in a gloomy state, leaning his back against the wall of the carriage outside the curtain.

"What's the matter, what did you say to General Lai?" Anxin sat with his back to the curtain and asked strangely.

"I told General Lai what we were worried about, but General Lai was very confident that no one would come to rob him," Ye Cheng replied in a gloomy voice.

"General Lai said don't worry, then let's wait and see. Sister, you come to drive the carriage, I'll go and rest for a while," the big boss said calmly, handed over the horse rope to Anxin on the side, and then slowly stood up and bowed and walked into the carriage.

Anxin took the horse rope and didn't move, but still sat in the middle, the closest distance to Ye Cheng. Being able to sit with Ye Cheng so closely, she secretly showed a sweet smile.

Ye Cheng didn't see it, he always looked ahead and remained vigilant. Although General Lai said not to worry, it is not bad for him to be vigilant.

"Ye Cheng, if you find a way to go back, can you take me to see it too" An Xin looked ahead and asked hesitantly.

Ye Cheng was very surprised, and looked at peace of mind with a surprised expression. Now that he finally saw Anxin's sweet smile, he suddenly felt bad.

Anxin likes him, he knows it. It would be bad if I was misunderstood by Anxin again.

"Miss Anxin, in my world, you are not used to life," Ye Cheng said weakly.

"Miss Xia can get used to life, and I think I can too," An An said shyly.

This made Ye Cheng even more surprised, he thought to himself that if he continued to say this, he would not give up, so he could only think of another way to refuse.

After thinking about it, Ye Cheng said, "My world is full of wars, even more cruel than here, if you go with me, I can't protect you and Xia Meng alone."

Anxin heard the meaning of Ye Cheng's refusal, no longer said a word, and looked forward with his head a little lowered.

Along the way, Anxin never said a word to Ye Cheng again.
