Chapter 507: White Forgiveness
The great changes in Yanjing, Han Mo, who is hundreds of miles away, are naturally not clear, there are many conspiracies in Beijing, and every step is difficult, but the caravan of the trading house is going all the way.
After Steward Song and several of his henchmen were subdued by Han Mo, they trembled along the way, and no longer dared to have the slightest arrogance, and found an inn to stay at night, and several guys who were with Steward Song honestly dragged the body that had not yet healed to keep vigil, and Steward Song was extremely difficult, in addition to feeding the horse feed several times a day, he also had to take out the first half of the night to keep vigil with him to watch the goods, and after a few days, he was already exhausted, and the whole person was obviously thin.
However, the others were relieved in their hearts, seeing that the insidious and greedy Steward Song in the past was now obedient, and everyone was relieved and grateful, but they were also grateful to Han Mo.
Han Mo didn't know that not only An Yuqing had been poisoned in Beijing, but also that the Wei envoy arrived in Yanjing City on the second day, he just knew that in two hours, he would be able to cross the boundary of Bozhou County and reach the junction of Yan and Fengguo, and there was a small pass there, called "Fengguan"!
"Once you've entered the pass, don't talk too much, and don't draw your knife easily!" Seeing the shadow of the pass in front of him from a distance, Tie Kui ordered everyone to stop, and said in a loud voice: "Protect the car, follow me, no matter what happens, don't act rashly without my order." After entering the customs, there is still a day's journey to reach Nanjun, this section of the road is not easy to walk, it is a forest road, although the people of the wind country will not do anything to the caravan under normal circumstances, but we still have to be careful...... Yes, after entering the customs, it is not easy to eat unknown food on the road, I have prepared enough dry food, and the next day, when the time comes, I will have people distribute dry food ......! ”
Han Mo saw that Tie Kui's expression was extremely solemn, and what he explained seemed to be only an insignificant issue, but he knew in his heart that since Tie Kui had explained these matters so solemnly, it naturally made sense, so he listened very carefully.
After all, it was the first time he had entered the Wind Country, and he didn't know much about the Wind Country, and what Tie Kui said was obviously based on experience.
Tie Kui said something, and then made a gesture to a dart master beside him, which indicated a nod, and took out a bundle of white cloth strips from his arms, "This is a white cloth strip, I will start distributing it to everyone now, one for each person, and tie it to my right arm...... Remember, be sure to tie it to your right arm and never untie it until you reach your destination! ”
Han Mo was a little puzzled, at this time Shen Laosan had already approached, and said in a low voice: "Shui Daishi may not know, this white cloth strip is tied to the arm, which means that we are serious businessmen, enter the Wind Country, only do business, and do not mix with anything else in the Wind Country, the people of the Wind Country will not be too embarrassed with us when they see us sucking the white cloth strip...... However, if you are wearing a strip of white cloth, you can't take the initiative to talk to the people of the Wind Country along the way, once you are discovered, they will say that we have broken the rules, there is no need to interrogate, and we have to meet each other.! ”
Han Mowan said: "You mean that if you tie a white cloth, you are not allowed to talk to the people of the Wind Country?" ”
"Yes!" Shen Laosan laughed and said, "Who knows why the people of the Wind Country have to set such strange rules. However, this rule began to be set a year ago, and every time you enter the customs, you must tie a white cloth! ”
"What if you don't tie this belt?" Han Mo asked.
Shen Laosan explained: "The Wind Country is very chaotic now, and the most taboo thing for the people of the Wind Country is that people from other countries are also involved in their state affairs, so this is why the 'white pardon' order was issued a year ago. ”
"White pardon?" Han Mo repeated the strange name.
"If someone from other countries who enters the Wind Country is found not wearing a white belt on his arm, he will be arrested as a spy for interrogation, and if it is found that he is not a spy, he will not be embarrassed, he will only send you back to the country!" Shen Laosan said slowly: "If you wear a white belt, the people of the Wind Country will not be easily arrested, but the rules have been set, if you secretly hook up with the people of the Wind Country, once you are discovered, you can directly cut off your head without interrogation!" ”
Han Mo frowned and said lightly: "Wind Country people...... It's very straightforward! ”
"The barbarian land of the Wind Country has not yet been civilized, and I can't think of too clever a way!" Shen Laosan smiled and said: "But then again, the people of the Wind Country are not as barbaric and terrifying as the legends of outsiders, they are still very reasonable, and the women of the Wind Country are ......!" Suddenly, thinking that Han Mo was a substitute, the next words suddenly shrank back, and he didn't dare to continue.
Han Mo smiled, but he knew what Shen Laosan was going to say later, it was nothing more than the amorous wind girl!
Everyone tied the white belt to their arms, and the red sleeves frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally tied the white belt to their arms.
Tie Kui saw that everyone was fastened, and checked the horse to confirm that it was correct, and then said loudly: "I repeat again, when you enter the country of wind, don't talk less, follow me, if anyone breaks the itinerary, don't blame me Tie Kui for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”
Everyone agreed, and Tie Kui urged him to step forward and waved his hand: "Go!" ”
……
Fengguan is the only pass for Bozhou County to enter the country of wind, compared with the majestic pass on the land of the Central Plains, Fengguan can only be regarded as a very small pass.
A year ago, it was not difficult to enter the Wind Country, but then the Wind Pass was suddenly closed and the gate was closed, except for the caravan, ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit, and the Wind Country had increased the number of troops in the Wind Pass, with more than 300 people stationed, even if it was a caravan in and out, it was necessary to conduct a strict inventory.
At first, the merchants vaguely knew that there was some turmoil in the Wind Country, and they did not dare to enter the Wind Country to do business, but later news came from the Wind Country that the people of the Wind Country not only guaranteed the safety of foreign merchants, but also several factions of the Wind Country reached an agreement to set up various trading houses in the Wind Country, within a radius of five miles, and prohibited swordsmen.
Because of this, the merchants did not cut off the trade of the Wind Country.
The trading house that can take root in the Windy Country is not only very profitable, but also has a great reputation in the local area, and is deeply loved by the people of the Windy Country.
If they do not dare to continue doing business when they evacuate during the war, the prestige of the trading house in the Windy Country will definitely fall seriously, and the people of the Windy Country will never welcome such a trading house.
When the caravan of the Guan Trading House arrived at the Wind Pass, it was past noon, and the sun was high, and the warriors of the Wind Country could be clearly seen standing solemnly on the Pass.
The armor of the people of the Wind Country is different from the other three countries of the Central Plains, the other three countries, most of the armor of the soldiers is made of metal, and a small amount is made of leather, while the armor of the people of the Wind Country is made of leather as the inner liner, and the outer layer is made of bamboo, which looks different, the only thing that is the same is a black cloth towel wrapped around the forehead, and a bird feather is inserted on it.
When Han Mo saw the shape of the warrior of the Wind Country, he immediately had a sense of novelty.
After all, there are not many merchants who can open trading houses in the Wind Country, and when the war is in chaos, the merchants will not often enter and exit, although the Wind Country people have made a guarantee, but who is sure that all the Wind Country people will not commit any offense to the foreign caravan?
Seeing that the caravan had arrived at the gate, and that everyone was wearing white ribbons on their arms, someone at the head of the city immediately asked in a loud voice: "Which trading house are you?" ”
"Guan's Trading Company!" Tie Kui rode forward and answered in a loud voice.
"How many businesses does Guan's Trading House have in my wind country?"
"Three!" Tie Kui replied: "The three counties of the Wind Country, each with a number!" ”
"Which one are you looking for?"
"Nanjun Guan Mu!"
At the head of the castle, a warrior of the Wind Country, who seemed to be a defender, held a booklet in his hand and flipped through it at the head of the castle, as if he was looking for something.
When Han Mo saw it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he only felt that the people of the Wind Country were really cute, if he really had the intention to pretend to be a soldier and guard the gate, it would definitely be difficult for the caravan.
However, it soon became clear that things might not be so simple, and even if the people of the Wind Country were simple, it was impossible for them to ask useless questions like this.
Soon, the guard at the head of the city closed the book and said in a loud voice, "Wait! ”
Tie Kui turned his head, looked at Steward Song, then at Han Mo, and said, "Steward Song, prepare the wine money for customs clearance!" ”
Steward Song looked at Han Mo pitifully, and said cautiously: "Water Agent...... When you pass the customs, you have to give some wine money ......! He didn't go on, but the meaning was clear.
The silver pocket on his body had already been searched out by Han Mo, and the silver in it was divided by the guys, and there was no silver to send away.
Han Mo naturally understood what was going on, so he urged him to step forward, went to De Tiekui's side, and asked, "How much?" ”
"It doesn't take too much, three or five taels of silver is enough!" Tie Kui said: "Go back and go out of the customs, and give a few taels of silver!" ”
Han Mo knew it in his heart and nodded.
At this time, the door of the pass slowly opened, and the guard beckoned to this side, and Tie Kui waved his hand: "Enter the pass!" Led the convoy slowly forward, and glanced at Han Mo, Han Mo understood what he meant, urged him to step forward, dismounted at the side of the guard, and said with a smile: "There is work, there is work!" He shoved the silver ingots he had prepared into the hands of the guard.
Tie Kui said that it only took three or five taels, but Han Mo did not have any broken silver on his body, but this ingot of silver was as much as twenty taels, and as soon as the guard received it in his hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, stuffed the silver into the bag around his waist, and actually reached out and patted Han Mo on the shoulder: "After you enter the customs, be careful, the red-headed people have already arrived at the boundary of Nanjun, you have a lot of goods, those guys may not be able to do it, do you want me to send more people?" ”
Han Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't know the inside story, but he heard the words of the guard a little inexplicably.
Redheads?
Han Mo really didn't understand what this meant!
