Chapter 166: The Merchant

"I slept with a man so casually, how can I rest assured that you are outside." took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and after taking a sip of the fragrance on her body, his heart, which had been restless for a long time, finally settled down.

Ye Qingyan had never been to Xidi, so he inquired and walked at the same time, and finally got lost a few times before he arrived at Qiang Mountain.

And Xiao Changqi rode a thousand-mile horse, and arrived here in one day, waiting for her. By the way, he also exterminated a den of bandits, killed a few villains, and picked flower thieves. The wound on the leg was the one sustained while killing a thug who was wanted by the rivers and lakes. As a result, when the villain was dying, he framed him, saying that he was a flower thief, which attracted a group of rabble to chase him.

I didn't expect to meet her unexpectedly.

It was a short day, or a long three or four days, but she walked for a full fourteen days, and she was also a rare lost spirit. If it weren't for the fact that his people had been spreading the word that she was still on her way to Sidi, and that she would have to pretend to be a villager from time to time to show her the way, he would have wondered if she had entered the hinterland of Sidi.

……

In a daze, Ye Qingyan smelled a rich aroma of barbecue, involuntarily took a few deep breaths, a silly smile appeared on his face, and continued to fall asleep, not letting himself wake up. She hadn't eaten barbecue in a long time, and she was so hungry. It's also good to be able to dream and live a dream.

"Miss Ming...... We may be in trouble. Ye Qingyan's low voice came from her ears, blowing away the aroma of barbecue in her dream, as well as the comfortable warmth.

Ye Qingyan opened his eyes with a worried face.

Chu Jiu was lying flat on one leg at the moment, one leg propped up, his back against the thatched house wall, and his eyes were looking out of the house.

Ye Qingyan woke up to what he had just said, and hurriedly turned over and got out of bed.

And when she got out of bed, she found that the fox fur cloak was already draped over her.

Looking back at Chu Jiu, he saw that his face was not abnormal except that he was a little paler, so he said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Well, hard work girl, I have no internal strength now, and it all depends on you." Chu Jiu said as a matter of course.

Ye Qingyan: ...... It's a person who knows the times.

Before dawn, a group of people with weapons in their hands slowly surrounded the hut.

Ye Qingyan picked up a longer fire stick from the fire that had not yet been burned, and went out, "Yo, everyone doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" ”

"Have you ever met our brother?" A man carrying a big knife replied in Yan Chao's words.

Ye Qingyan glanced at these people and said, "My brother and I are businessmen who came to Xidi to do business, and we just came over the mountain, and we haven't met your brothers. It's just me brother and sister. ”

"Merchant? What do you sell? Where's the goods? Someone asked.

Ye Qingyan looked at the person who was asking, but he couldn't see it clearly, and replied: "I heard that Xidi's cloud wood fragrance is very good, especially at the foot of Qiang Mountain, the quality is the best, and the price is good, so come and have a look." ”

She was telling the truth, the foot of Xidiqiang Mountain is indeed rich in cloud wood incense. Generally, when the snow in Jizhou melts, only businessmen will come over the thousands of zhang high mountains. In this kind of winter snow and cold weather, no one comes, and it is too dangerous. However, cloud wood incense is available in all seasons, and some incense will be burned as grass if it cannot be sold.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Ye Qingyan was a businessman, someone asked.

Hearing that Ye Qingyan had come to buy Yunmu incense, these people holding torches became restless.

"Are you really buying incense?" The man with the big knife asked.

Ye Qingyan replied: "It's like a fake." As he spoke, he put on the hat of the fox fur cape, and the fox fur fur was a valuable item, especially for Sidi, if there was such a thing, it was a rich and rich man. And Ye Qingyan also used a fox fur cloak to show that he was indeed a businessman with financial resources.

"I have incense in my house, do you want to take a look." Someone immediately shouted.

Someone started, and someone else shouted, "I also have Yunmuxiang in my house." ”

Ye Qingyan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, "Great, it's really the right place." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. If you want to talk about Yunmu incense, it is our Qiang Mountain. ”

"Then it's almost dawn now, my brother and I are still hungry when we come over the mountain, especially my brother accidentally rolled off the top of the mountain and broke his leg, I don't know where to hit the tip of the foot."

"My family can do it." Immediately another answered.

The person carrying the big knife raised the knife in his hand, and was not coaxed by Ye Qingyan's words, "Wait a minute, the brothers who went up the mountain to catch the flower thief haven't been found yet." What this person says, he must also be checked again. ”

"Brothers, this is my identity card, I see that everyone understands Yan Dynasty dialect, then you also know Yan Dynasty characters, you can see if it's true or false." Ye Qingyan took out an identity card, which she asked Gong Cheng to help her, the name on it was fake, but the brand was real.

These people who live at the foot of Qiang Mountain, in order to do business with the merchants who came from Jizhou, naturally also understand the Yan Dynasty script, someone came up and took the sign and looked at it, and confirmed: "Ming Yan, people from Jizhou City, this brand is real." ”

"The old dog, they are chasing the flower thief, the flower thief can't be a woman. Da Zhuang, why don't we look for it again, leave a few brothers, and take this Mingyan girl and her brother back to the town. ”

Da Zhuang, the one who carried the big knife, looked Ye Qingyan up and down again, "Where is your brother?" I'm going to see him first. ”

"Okay, my brother is in the house, and his leg is injured, and I blame me for climbing the snow mountain carelessly, which affected him."

"It's really not easy to climb the snowy mountain, how long have you climbed."

"Two days." In fact, it took less than two hours to climb over the top of the mountain, and it was all supported by internal forces.

Chu Jiu lay on the bed of withered grass again, his face flushed, and he looked sick and weak.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyan was startled, and had a fever?

Da Zhuang walked closer and looked at Chu Jiu twice, his appearance is really good, better than women, this kind of person is a flower thief, it is estimated that those women will have to wait in line for him to pick, where will they look for death and life. Moreover, it is said that the flower thief was less than five feet tall, and was extremely ugly, with a scab on his nose.

After confirming that he was not a flower thief, Dazhuang's suspicions were finally dispelled. Leaving a few people to help Ye Qingyan carry Chu Jiu down the mountain, he led people to continue to look for people on the mountain.

With locals leading the way, it became much easier to go down the mountain, and someone carried Chu Jiu, and Ye Qingyan was also light.

As for the horse, when Ye Qingyan was picking up firewood, he ran away because he didn't tie the horse's reins. It's also a round thing she said about going over the mountains and going to business, if there is an extra horse, it's not easy to explain. Because it is absolutely impossible for a horse to climb over a mountain.

Touching Chu Jiu, who was hot on his forehead, Ye Qingyan fed him a pill of Yulu Dan made by herself, which had the effect of calming the nerves, relieving pain and dissipating heat.
