Chapter 304 Strategic Supplies

The four of them didn't know who was the guide, and they barely got lost along the way, and a magical force guided everyone to their destination.

After resting for two nights on the way, Chen Bo had no choice but to squeeze into the same bed with Xu Xueying.

"If it's cold, take more quilts and don't freeze."

"What about you?"

"I'm fine, I've got a cold anyway, so I don't have a fever."

"Don't curse yourself like that."

Chen Bo honestly curled up on one side, wrapping his lower body in advance with a coat, so as not to be woken up by the cold at night, fortunately Xu Xueying was quite well-behaved this time, and the position of the quilt when she got up during the day almost never moved.

But the distance between the two is a little close...

"Don't be seen by other people, gossip about you."

Xu Xueying put on her coat and quipped: "Do you have a good relationship at home?" It's still a family affair arranged by your parents. ”

"This is a matter of where, I'm afraid that it will affect you, lonely men and widows are in the same room, and it will not affect it well."

"Then you can marry me home, so that we can be bright." Xu Xueying jumped up from the bed and threw herself into Chen Bo's arms.

"If you have it, then you can settle down, we have a task now, if this work is not completed, I am afraid that we will not see the spring of next year." Chen Bo symbolically held the person around a few times and carefully put it back on the ground.

The Chen family is not a famous family in Yuhang, at least not before the imperial examination, the ancestors are basically farmers, and they are only more than ten acres of fertile land when they are generous.

There was no scholar in the family, and naturally he did not become a village sage, so he could only rely on bribery to be a small official, and oppressed the poor peasants whose status was inferior to his own.

The grandparents took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Qing Dynasty to leave their hometown to find another way out, because of their bright mouths, they were on errands in foreigners, and over time they became compradors.

When it comes to the father's generation, this situation is even worse, the ancestral hall in the township was repaired at the expense of the Chen family, and the Chen family was also responsible for soup porridge and rice? Chen Cheng is the heir of the family? The superficial work is quite well done, and almost no one knows what is being done behind the scenes.

Yu Hang's hometown is an ordinary earthen tile house? Located in the heart of the village? It looks the same as any other house, crossing the threshold? The view is blocked by a stone screen with a family motto engraved on it? Chen Bo has no intention of appreciating? Just wanting to complete the task quickly, he hurried around in a hurry.

This house is very unfamiliar to Chen Bo, he got lost in it, and unknowingly walked into the back kitchen? Good thing the servant knows him? Otherwise, you might be treated as a thief from somewhere.

"Second master, you're back, the master is still out of town, and he may not be home until next week."

"It's okay, I was called back by my brother to do something."

Chen Bo sitting on a wooden chair? Instructed the two horses to move the box to the open space, and Xu Xueying attached Chen Cheng's position? When the people in the courtyard saw this battle, they all talked about it in private? But no one dared to ask.

"Boss Wang has arrived and is on his way."

The guy who came out of nowhere reported the matter to Chen Bo? He bowed his head and motioned for the other party to step back? Then he asked the servant for some fruit.

"Tired of traveling? Eat it. ”

"You're welcome." Xu Xueying was already thirsty, and when she saw the red apple, she grabbed it in her hand and nibbled it non-stop.

The boss Wang in the man's mouth is a kind person, literally generous, and when he enters the door of the Chen family, he has to turn sideways.

"Boss Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much."

Chen Bo also doesn't know if he and Boss Wang can get into a relationship, but when it comes to doing business, business blowing should be a basic skill.

"I thought that the Chen family would come in person, but I didn't expect it to be you kid."

Boss Wang was wearing a thick felt hat, and his mink shawl almost wrapped his neck tightly, and he obviously felt out of breath as soon as he said a few words.

"My brother needs to stay in Songhu for something, so he specially sent me here and asked Boss Wang to take care of me." Chen Bozuo bowed to apologize, and Boss Wang smiled and sat in Xu Xueying's position.

"Where did this guy go?"

Chen Bodong looked around, but he didn't see Xu Xueying's shadow.

"Are you looking for goods? Don't worry, I've got it for you. Boss Wang roared outside the door, and his men and horses came up one after another, opened it and took a closer look, and found that it was some raw silk and tea.

Chen Bo's attention quickly shifted to the two unopened ones in the corner.

"There are two barrels here, what's in them?"

Boss Wang took off his hat and said with a hot air: "Tung oil, Chen Cheng asked for this by name at that time, it was difficult to get it, I took a lot of effort to transport it out from Yunnan and Burma, and the road will be closed after a while, and it will be difficult to want it again." ”

"Strategic materials that are hard to find in money, you have to tell him well, let him work hard to fight devils, and we will do our best to support in the rear and drive all these dogs back."

"Devil fighting?"

"yes? Why are you doing that? ”

"It's okay, I don't see a few devils in this village." Chen Bo unhurriedly diverted the topic.

"It's a long way here, and there are few people who are worried about it, but you can't let your guard down, oh yes, is he ready for money, I don't care, there are a lot of goods that belong to others."

"There, unboxing."

Chen Bo asked the two men brought by Chen Cheng to open the box, and one of the three boxes was filled with fiat currency, one was filled with Yuan Datou, and the other was full of gold.

Boss Wang sighed with emotion: "He is really wealthy, I remember when I first met him, your brother was just a hairy boy, just to my waist, and now I don't know which big man to do things for anymore." ”

"Actually, I don't know." Chen Bo felt that his brother was hiding a lot of things.

"It's okay if you don't know, the more you know about this situation, the more dangerous it is, but how do you plan to get these goods back, Songhu has fallen, and there are devils everywhere, if someone intercepts it, it will be a big loss."

"By land, I know a hidden way." Chen Bo thought that this guy was doing things for the devil, and I was afraid that he could directly deliver the goods to the designated warehouse without detouring at all.

"I know a waterway that can go to the wharf 4 kilometers near Songhu, where there are our people, but since you are sure, then I will not force you."

Boss Wang grabbed a gold ingot, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it, and grabbed a wad of banknotes and asked Chen Bo to speak.

"Why is this money so new?"

"I'm from the bank, and I specialize in new banknotes."

"Yes, you can, you can do things kindly, you need to contact again, it's still the old rules, and you will respond to your needs."
