Zhu Yuanzhang decided to go to Xi'an!

Speaking of which, Baishui is very close to Xi'an, it is not too much to say that it is close at hand, from Baishui to the south, first through Pucheng County, and then to Fuping County, even if it is to the suburbs of Xi'an, even if the whole journey is detoured around the mountain road, it is only two hundred and twenty or thirty miles. In other words, even with a large army, it would only take four days to go from Baishui to Xi'an, and if you were to travel lightly, you could reach it in two to three days at most.

Of course, if you want to go to Xi'an, you don't just get on a horse and run away, people in this year can't just leave their place of household registration, if they go out of their place of residence a hundred miles away without authorization, they will be arrested and sent to the army! And Xi'an is two hundred miles away from Baishui, which has reached twice the distance of catching and charging the army, that is to say, as a Baishui person, Xi'an can't go, it is not a place where you can travel on Golden Friday.

Fortunately, Cao Baoxiang, the county magistrate, is now very obedient and extremely cooperative, and it didn't take long for a set of full-body household registration and road guides to be placed, and it was stamped with the big seal of the county magistrate, indicating that they were merchants licensed by the Baishui Yamen, so there would be no problem.

In the back hall of the yamen, a group of leaders sat down around a table, studying the question of who should go to Xi'an.

"Brother Zhu, you can't go." Yang Hong said seriously: "There are too many people who have seen you, if you show your face, you will be arrested." ”

"I know, but I have to go." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "I haven't even thought about what to do in Xi'an, so I can't explain things to you, I have to go to Xi'an to see with my own eyes to know what we need." ”

"But it's really too dangerous." Yang Hong insisted on his opinion.

"I'll put on a hat and dress up as a retinue to try not to attract attention." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Don't persuade me about this." ”

Wang Er next to him said honestly: "But...... If Zhu Bugling covers his face and pretends to be an entourage, who will play the leading big businessman? Our group of people are quite brutal, except for Zhu Bugs, no one looks like a businessman. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's brows immediately furrowed, this is not a small problem, Wang Er, Miao Mei, and Desperate Saburo, none of them are like businessmen, they can pretend to be bandits and robbers, pretend to be green-skinned hooligans, pretend to be farmers and hunters, and pretend to be generals and soldiers, but the merchant owes that little temperament...... Their coarse and silly shapes fell into the eyes of the guards at the Xi'an City Gate, but they were afraid that the household registration and road guides were useless, and they were directly locked up as a prison.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned and stared at Xu Renjie. Except for Xue Hongqi, everyone in the audience knew Xu Renjie's original identity, and if he wanted to pretend to be a businessman, he had to come forward.

But Xue Hongqi didn't know, she curiously followed everyone's eyes, locked on Xu Renjie's body, and said strangely: "What are you staring at this monkey for?" He has to be masked even when he is among us, can he go to Xi'an with his face covered? ”

Everyone didn't answer her, but still stared at Xu Renjie.

Xu Renjie had no choice but to spread his hands and say, "Okay, I'll go...... Oh, I really don't want to go, I'm having fun with the crossbowmen for the past two days, and I'm going to play with the Franc cannon in two days, so you have to let me run the merchant...... Gee...... The most annoying thing in this life is running a business. ”

"Do you really dare to go?" Xue Hongqi was slightly shocked: "Hey, people are self-aware, when can monkeys dress up like businessmen?" ”

Xu Renjie snorted, he looked left and right, the room was full of leaders, there were no outsiders, and then he stretched out his head to look out the window, and there were more than 30 henchmen of Ma Xiaotian and Zhu Yuanzhang guarding outside. Only then did he put his mind at ease, suddenly reached out and pulled it on his face, ripped off the masked towel, and then grabbed the abacus on the table next to him, and crackled: "Look, why can't I pretend to be a businessman?" Hey! ”

He was not very flexible when he held a weapon in his hand, and he was often ridiculed by Xue Hongqi, but as soon as he took the abacus, it was really powerful, his five fingers kept flicking, and the abacus beads seemed to be dancing.

Xue Hongqi was taken aback: "This ...... Do you still have what it takes? ”

"What's wrong? Have you changed your opinion of me? Hahaha...... By the way, don't just look at my fingers, look at my face, tsk! Xu Renjie said triumphantly: "Do you think I'm ...... dignified?"

Xue Hongqi was silent, she did feel that Xu Renjie was dignified, the reason was very simple, Xu Renjie's face did not have that kind of bandit hooliganism, nor did he have that kind of stupidity. Because of family conditions, he still read a lot of books since he was a child, although he couldn't pass the imperial examination, but he also had a little ink in his chest. And people's temperament is often from the amount of knowledge, from the heart to the outside, affecting the appearance.

Maybe in the eyes of people like Miao Mei, who like to fight, Wang Er's majestic appearance looks more handsome, but in the eyes of women, Xu Renjie's face with a bit of literature and art is much better than Wang Er. Where did the three words "little white face" come from? It is because women like white skins and men with literary temperament that they have the title of little white face, which shows that men's literary temperament can attract women.

"What's the name, the monkey actually has a human-like face......" Xue Hongqi muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? What to say? Didn't hear clearly! Xu Renjie leaned over and asked.

"I said you guy is disgusting, get out of the way!" Xue Hongqi didn't know why he was angry, but he was angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and interjected: "Don't make trouble, let the generalissimo pretend to be a businessman, I will pretend to be his entourage, Ma Xiaotian and thirty-five guards will also go together, I will let them pretend to be a dart master, generalissimo, you can get a few of your trusted henchmen to pretend to be car drivers and cargo carriers...... They are better at playing these than our soldiers. ”

They discussed happily, but they forgot about Xue Hongqi, and Xue Hongqi was in a hurry: "The old lady must also go!" ”

She slapped the table with a "snap": "The old lady is going to see the big city!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you are a woman, it's too suspicious to show your face, don't make trouble for us." Xu Renjie smiled strangely beside him.

"I'm pretending to be a female swordsman, mixed in with the bodyguards." Xue Hongqi said.

"A serious caravan doesn't want a woman to be a knife hand!" Xu Renjie snorted: "Do you want us to be arrested and interrogated by the government?" ”

"Then I...... Pretend to be a cook. Xue Hongqi said aggrievedly.

"At home, you may need to cook a mother-in-law, everything is simple when you go out, you are eating dry food, how can anyone take a cooking mother-in-law out to run a business? Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Don't mess with us. Xu Renjie said.

"That'...... What can I pretend? Xue Hongqi hurriedly said: "I really want to go!" ”

"Pretend to be my concubine." Xu Renjie said triumphantly: "Merchants often take their concubines out, hehehe...... Little lady, come over and give the old man a beating on the shoulder. ”

"I can't beat you to death!" Xue Hongqi's pink fist flew over, hitting Xu Renjie's face, this punch was not small, and he was knocked out, and the bench was also kicked over, making a clanging sound, and all the leaders laughed: "Hahaha, this guy is begging for a fight by himself, and he played well." ”

"Let's pretend to be a maid!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to interject into this kind of trif: "Twenty-year-old old maid...... Belch...... It's a little out of shape, but it's going to have to get over. ”

"Twenty-year-old girl?" Xue Hongqi's body shook, his soul was broken, and he almost fell to the ground.

It didn't take long for Xu Renjie to go to Zhang Luo to come out of a team, he was afraid of revealing his identity, he didn't dare to use his own carriage, but through Cao Baoxiang's hand to get a few carts, moved some rice bags, white water specialties to the car, and some north and south groceries, all the mess was moved up, and after a while, the caravan looked like it.

The people who drove the car all used his own henchmen, these people couldn't fight, but the runner was originally a first-class guy, and it was foolproof to do this job, Xue Hongqi wore coarse cloth and green cedar, pretended to be his maid, and sat in a car with him aggrievedly, fortunately, there was Zhu Yuanzhang in the car, he wore a strong suit, carried a Pu knife around his waist, and wore a hat on his head, pretending to be Xu Renjie's helper.

The so-called helper is actually the same as the bodyguard. In these years, rich families often like to raise a group of helpers at home, and they deliberately want to select those hooligans and ruffians to use. In the Song Dynasty, there was a celebrity, named Gao Yu, who was an idle gangster when he was young, and was pulled by the royal people to help him, because the helper was right, and he later became a big official. It's far away again, in short, it's not surprising that there is a gang around the rich to listen to, it's not suspicious at all.

Before and after the convoy, it was Ma Xiaotian and thirty-five guards, they rode directly across the knife, pretending to be knife hands, the world was chaotic in these years, and it was also very common for businessmen to hire a team of knife hands to protect goods, and the young master of the Ma family had been carrying more than a dozen knife hands around him.

In short, the caravan seemed to be pulled out, and there was no flaw in it from head to toe, Xu Renjie carefully checked the team several times and confirmed that there was no problem, so he ordered to set off, and the convoy slowly left Baishui and headed southwest.

After walking for a short time, I only heard Xu Renjie's yin and yang smile from the car: "Qi'er, serve tea to my master!" ”

"What do you call me? Looking for a fight? Xue Hongqi roared.

"Hey, I said, why are you so ignorant of this woman? Can a maid not have a nickname? Xu Renjie said: "Put away your weird temper now, otherwise we will be arrested by the government sooner or later." ”

"Then don't call me Qi'er, the name Hongqi is fake, are you pig-brained? How could anyone call a red flag by name? Xue Hongqi snorted: "Because my caravan likes to unfurl a red flag when working, I took the pseudonym Xue Hongqi." ”

"And what's your real name?" Xu Ren Jie Qi said.

"Are you stupid? How can any woman tell you the eight characters of her birthday? It's not about getting married. Xue Hongqi scolded.

"Hey, hey, hey! If you don't tell me your real name, and you don't let me call it a kana, how can you call it? ”

"I'll take care of you!"

"That's still called Qi'er, Qi'er...... Come and serve tea to the master! ”

"I don't have hands or feet?"

Looking at this pair of living treasures, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
