Before the carriage left Lanzhou City, it heard the sound of gongs and gongs on the street, and some officers and soldiers shouted: "Get out of the way!" Immediately afterwards, the people in Lanzhou City cheered and shouted, "Congratulations on the triumph of the second prince!" "Long live Daito!".

Yu Hongbo had to command all the carriages to stop at the side of the road, and then everyone knelt down with the people to worship the second prince and his generals who became famous in the battle with the Muya people, especially a young master of the Hou Mansion surnamed Ji, I heard that he not only made great achievements, but also saved the life of the second prince in the most tragic battle, and carried the second prince back to the camp from the pile of dead people with blood.

"Yunyi, you really don't want to go back with me?" The second prince asked helplessly: "This time I returned to Beijing, my father will definitely have a great reward." ”

"Then let the soldiers take it for me." Ji Yunyi said indifferently.

"Nonsense! That's it, you have injuries on your body, and it is indeed inconvenient to travel long distances, you first recover from your injuries here, and then leave for Beijing without hurry, I will leave the guards by your side. The second prince said.

Ji Yunyi hurriedly refused: "I can bring a few subordinates, the guards are close to protect His Highness, and they must not stay." ”

"That's good, you recover from your injuries as soon as possible, I'll wait for you in Bianliang."

"Yes! Your Highness. ”

After the army of the second prince left, Ji Yunyi only took one day to understand the situation in Lanzhou City.

A flying pigeon passed to the Wu family courtyard in Nanyang.

"The young master has sent a letter?" The housekeeper asked.

After Master Wu burned the letter, he said: "The young master said that he found a business opportunity in Lanzhou City that can reverse the current predicament, and he will discuss with the rich over there as Brother Nan." Let our caravan set out at once, and inform the various post stations along the way to provide supplies, so as to be sure. ”

In Wanbin Building, the largest restaurant in Lanzhou City, Ji Yunyi, who alias Wu Jingnan, invited large and small mining bosses, fur dealers, and horse dealers, including Master Song, to a banquet......

After three rounds of drinking, the owner of a gem mine said: "Young Master Wu, you are late, before this, several of our families have promised you another merchant in the Central Plains to sell our crystals to them in the future." ”

"Oh? I don't know which businessman it is? Ji Yunyi didn't expect such a large piece of fat in Lanzhou City to let others take the lead.

"It's a businesswoman......" Before the mine boss finished speaking, the wine in Ji Yunyi's hand shook and spilled.

stepped forward and asked eagerly, "What's her name?" Say it! ”

The mine boss didn't expect this Young Master Wu to react so violently: "She is accompanied by a man surnamed Yu, and this woman is the sister of this Yu Gongzi, as for the name of this girl, we don't know." ”

Surname Yu? Not her.

Yes, she should be in Gangneung at this time, how could she come to a remote town.

Ji Yunyi endured a trace of regret in his heart, curled the corners of his lips and said loudly: "The Wu family is the richest businessman in the Central Plains, and this young lady of the Yu family is even more unheard of, and her strength cannot be compared with what we want." All bosses are going to do long-term business, and naturally they want to find stronger businesses to cooperate. ”

"This ......" Several mining bosses looked at each other, but Boss Song was happy: "I don't know any Miss Yu, since Young Master Wu has such a big business to do here, in the future, our Song Mine will cooperate with Young Master Wu!" ”

Ji Yunyi saw that several mining bosses were hesitating, and then said: "That's it, I don't know what price that Miss Yu will give you, the Wu family decided to raise the price on her basis, how about it?" ”

Wow! Pick up a percent? Such a good deal, "Young Master Wu, the crystal deposits on our side are very rich, can you really eat them all?" ”

"Rest assured, if I can't eat it, then no merchant in the entire Dadong Dynasty can eat it." Ji Yunyi was in high spirits.

"Okay, then our Yu family mine is also willing to cooperate with Young Master Wu!"

"We, the Muyi clan, are also willing to join."

"We're on board, too."

On the official road leading from Lanzhou City to Sichuan Shu, a carriage was moving forward at an unhurried speed. Behind them were carts of sturdy oak boxes.

"Miss, why do we go to Bashu and then turn around to Khotan? Wouldn't that be a delay? The maid with a small bun on her head chattered along the way, but it also added a bit of life to the boring road.

Gui Mingyue had nothing to do, so she patiently explained to her: "There are two reasons why we don't go directly from Lanzhou City to Khotan, one is that the few cars of crystal gems behind us are not particularly rare in either Tubo or Khotan, and in their eyes, these stones are far less valuable than the silk and tea in our Central Plains; Second, if you go from Lanzhou City to Khotan, you must take the Muya country, although we have won the battle, but the Muya people's hatred of us is even more intense, and going is not equivalent to death. ”

"Oh, miss, I see." Jin Qi'er nodded again and again.

"Miss, stop and eat something." The silver pendant was on the side, and he took out the cloak and put it on Gui Mingyue.

"It's late spring now, and the further you go to Shudi, the hotter it will be, and you don't need a cloak."

"Yes, miss."

"Let the second brother order the carriage behind to stop, and we will eat first." For convenience, Gui Mingyue directly called his second cousin Yu Hongbo the second brother when he was outside.

Yu Hongbo instructed the group to stop by a small river.

He led the horses downstream, drank enough water, and led them to graze in the woods. The other retinue followed into the woods to pick up dry branches.

Jin Qi'er and Yin Shen'er took out two big pots from the back of the carriage, scooped half a pot of rice from one cloth bag, and took out a handful of dried mushrooms, two slices of air-dried meat, and a pinch of salt from the other cloth bag.

When Yin Shen'er went to the river to wash rice, Jin Qi'er had already skillfully lit the fire. When the silver pendant came back, a pot boiled water; Rice is boiled in a pot, covered with mushrooms, then sliced meat, sprinkled with salt, and simmered over low heat. With such a simple operation, after a while, a rich fresh fragrance came out, which contained the aroma of meat, rice and mushrooms, which only attracted the entourage to swallow saliva frequently.

Seeing that the water was about to boil, an attendant took out a jar from the cloth bag on his shoulder, handed it to the silver pendant, and the silver pendant tacitly took it, opened the lid, and poured a pinch of tea leaves into the boiling water. The attendant took out a few bamboo tubes the size of tea cups from the cloth bag on his shoulder, and the silver pendant filled the bamboo tubes with tea one by one, and the following entourage men came to fetch them one after another, and went back to sit on the spot and drink it contentedly. Including Gui Mingyue and Yu Hongbo, they also took the bamboo tube and drank tea.

Li Mobai watched all this with interest, the first few times he met the inn, he played the tip or stayed in the hotel. This was the first time he had a picnic on the road with Gui Mingyue and them.

"Hey, why are you stunned! If you don't come to get water to drink, you have to have someone bring it to your mouth. Jin Qi'er shouted in a chatter.

This little girl seems to have always been hostile to herself, Li Mobai touched her nose, and couldn't help crying and laughing.

"What are you laughing at, your teeth are white, I heard that the Bashu woman is the most enthusiastic and bold, you little white face is careful." has been following Gui Mingyue for a long time along the way, and Jin Qi'er's temperament has not been restrained, but has become more spicy, especially for this money-losing goods.

Li Mobai waved his hand and said, "Sister Jin, I don't dare to quarrel with you, I'll go to the forest to hunt some game and come back." ”

"Sister Kim? Burst! The silver pendant, who was making tea on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Sister Shen'er!" Jin Qi'er looked angrily at the silver pendant who pursed her lips and snickered and the few little guys who laughed and fell, waiting in the direction of the woods, and scolded secretly, you are Sister Jin, your whole family is Sister Jin!

In less than half an hour, Li Mobai successfully hunted a fat pheasant and a hare, and without needing others, he walked to the river, pulled out a dagger, peeled off his fur, and cleaned up the internal organs.

When I went back, everyone was eating fragrant rice, and he was not polite, he picked up the bamboo tube and filled a full bowl, and after taking a bite, he couldn't help but sigh and said it was delicious!

"It's delicious!" After taking a bite of mushrooms, Jin Qi'er had already forgotten the hatred of "Sister Jin", and said happily: "This is what Miss taught us to do." ”

Li Mobai secretly looked at Gui Mingyue while eating, would she still do this?

After eating the rice, the attendant was just about to pick up the two wild meats and roast them on the fire, but Gui Mingyue stopped them and ordered, "Go and pick a few banana leaves and some mud." ”

After a while, the entourage handed the big banana leaves to Gui Mingyue, and Gui Mingyue used it to wrap a bag of pheasants and hares, wrapped them in mud, and threw them into the half-burned pyre......

More than half an hour later, everyone rushed to eat the most delicious and tender game ever, and their mood did not need to be mentioned.

Li Mobai has been observing Gui Mingyue since he came these days.

She sometimes does not give the impression that she is a woman, and behaves like a man, and will not blink an eye and order her subordinates to kill the slave trader; will talk and laugh in front of the imposing mine boss on the table; will be angry and go to Master Song's house to save himself regardless of his safety; On weekdays, she doesn't seem to care about anything, and the two maids can chirp lawlessly, and she has no taboos.

But it seems to be very squeamish, and the degree of food and clothing is also very particular, the clothes on the body are all high-quality soft satin, and although there are not many jewelry, everything looks exquisite and valuable; I don't need to mention it, I went to eat in the largest tavern in Lanzhou City, and I frequently frowned and disliked it; The carriage often had to be covered with very thick mattresses, and the maids had to be often taken out to be soft to dry; Everywhere I go, even if it is a street away, I can take a carriage, and I feel that I never have to walk; My favorite position is to lie half-crooked on the maid's lap......

She looked at her eyes, obviously full of appreciation and amazement, but she didn't have the greed and desire of the women before her. To be honest, this made Li Mobai feel very comfortable, thinking about the eyes he had to face when he was a child, he was disgusted and couldn't swallow.

Maybe it's because they've eaten too much, and the warm sun is baked, and everyone is lazy and has no strength to go on the road. Yu Hongbo immediately ordered everyone to set up camp here, and covered a few boxes of crystals with straw and placed them in the middle of several tents.

Night fell quickly, and the entourage took turns to keep vigil, and Yu Hongbo asked Gui Mingyue and the girls to go and rest first. Li Mobai sprinkled some realgar outside the tent with a serious expression, and lit a few more torches.

"You go to sleep, too." Yu Hongbo instructed, this person was bought by Xiaomei, and he heard Qiu Li say that his martial arts were unfathomable, although he was safe along the way, but with such a person by his side to protect him, he was more assured of Xiaomei's safety.

Li Mobai shook his head, sitting outside Gui Mingyue's tent, leaning on a small tree and motionless, although his eyes were slightly closed, every line of his body was full of vigilance and defense.

Without the hippie smiling face in front of Xiaomei on weekdays, Yu Hongbo suddenly felt that he was like a lone wolf who could tear the offender to pieces at any time.
