Chapter 29 Passivity

Qian Sanjin staggered to stabilize his figure, and thanked Jiang Xiao, Bai Xiaofu was able to support Qian Sanjin's fat body on the side, smiled at Jiang Xiao, and said: "The wine here of the second prince is indeed good, even the little woman who is not strong enough to drink also smells the aroma of this wine." ”

Jiang Xiao smiled, and did not respond to Bai Xiaofu's flattery, but bypassed the table and sat on the main seat. Bai Xiaofu also helped Qian Sanjin to sit back in his original position, and he also sat back in his original position.

Jiang Xiao still had an unchanging kind smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what this person was thinking.

After the three of them sat down, Jiang Xiao said to Qian Sanjin, who was a little delirious: "Money shopkeeper, the goods have been loaded, this batch of goods is very tight, and the money shopkeeper went out of the city overnight, this king has already talked to the soldiers guarding the city, and now he is waiting for the money shopkeeper to leave." ”

When Qian Sanjin heard Jiang Xiao's words, he suddenly recovered his spirits, and said expressionlessly: "Okay." ”

Jiang Xiao, who was sitting on the top seat, continued: "Money shopkeeper, this time the goods, this king does not want to have any mistakes, I will send my team of people to send the money shopkeeper to the Yaohan River, and the money shopkeeper will be responsible for the rest of the road." ”

The Yaohan River is the dividing line between the border areas and the Central Plains in Daqi, and after crossing the Yaohan River, it also reaches the border area of Daqi. It seems that Jiang Xiao really attaches great importance to this batch of goods this time, and now doing so is equivalent to borrowing money and three gold to get the line, but the money and three gold are empty.

Jiang Xiao looked at Bai Xiaofu with a smile again, and said, "When you get to the border pass, please ask Miss Bai to bother more." The king has already discussed with the money shopkeeper to open a shop at the border, and it will be handed over to the white girl to take care of when the time comes. ”

Jiang Xiao's attitude towards Bai Xiaofu at this time was much better than when he met Bai Xiaofu for the first time, and even his attitude towards Bai Xiaofu was better than his attitude towards Qian Sanjin, Bai Xiaofu didn't know if this was just his own delusion.

After that, Jiang Xiao stood up, Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin could only stand up, arched their hands to each other, and walked out from behind Qian Sanjin Two small servants helped Qian Sanjin, and the two were sent out of the house in this way, Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin sat in a carriage, first went back to the inn and gathered all the people in the inn, and then a team of nearly fifty or sixty people quietly left the capital in the quiet late night.

The days that followed became tense and boring, and the people sent by Jiang Xiao looked at them all after special training, and they were very strict everywhere, even Qian Sanjin didn't pay attention to it, and even Qian Sanjin was not allowed to override everyone's heads with a high profile if he wanted to see the goods. And Qian Sanjin, who was originally in charge, also behaved absent-mindedly during this time, almost forgetting everything, and his daily state was a little trance.

Bai Xiaofu was still doing his own job at first, but after finding out that the people sent by Jiang Xiao did not let him interfere, Bai Xiaofu was also happy to be idle, and he actually lived a few days of clean life.

These days I am still more optimistic about Jiang Zhen's side, after Bai Xiaofu knew that Wu Gang also took refuge in Jiang Zhen, Bai Xiaofu also had a lot of contact with Wu Gang, both of them are sensible, and they naturally get along well with each other as old fritters. Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu also planned their general plans for the future. Originally, Jiang Zhen wanted Wu Gang to stay by Bai Xiaofu's side, and if there was anything to take care of, Bai Xiaofu thought that Jiang Zhen went to the battlefield alone, which was even more dangerous, so he asked Jiang Zhen to take Wu Gang and take care of each other. Jiang Zhen put on a look of disgust for Wu Gang's martial arts, and insisted that Wu Gang stay by Bai Xiaofu's side. In the end, after Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen ignored Jiang Zhen for seven days, Jiang Zhen agreed to take Wu Gang with him.

After Wu Gang and Bai Xiaofu came into contact, Wu Gang also knew that Bai Xiaofu was Jiang Zhen's personal attendant before, and because of his kindness to Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen attached so much importance and love to Bai Xiaofu. This gave Wu Gang a new understanding of Jiang Zhen, the prince, and also decided in his heart that he had made the right choice to take refuge in Jiang Zhen on impulse.

As the days passed, the Yaohan River was getting closer and closer. Qian Sanjin's spirit is becoming more and more tired, like a dead leaf that can float on the water, and another speck of dust may make the dead leaf sink. Bai Xiaofu wanted to know what happened during the period, and quietly tested Qian Sanjin a few times when no one was watching, but Qian Sanjin didn't trust Bai Xiaofu very much now, and didn't say anything to Bai Xiaofu, just showed a look of despair, and sometimes muttered: "You can't escape, it's too late." Bai Xiaofu also once guessed that maybe Qian Sanjin didn't know what the physical object he was afraid of in his heart was, but an invisible fear could also crush a person. Even invisible fear can be more oppressive than tangible objects, because one's self-illusion can bring fear to a point that oneself cannot accept. Jiang Xiao probably felt that Qian Sanjin was not very easy to control, so he used this method to let Qian Sanjin go to destruction by himself, which does not require any too high-tech hypnosis, maybe only a few words to ignite the fire of self-fear, and then give him time to let the little spark burn out a person's will.

Bai Xiaofu, who figured this out, tried his best to enlighten Qian Sanjin, but Bai Xiaofu didn't know Qian Sanjin's past, and couldn't speculate where the point that scared Qian Sanjin was, and persuasion could only be a temptation.

In the afternoon of this day, everyone passed through the Yaohan River, and came to the first city "Yaohan City" in the lower reaches of the Yaohan River, which belonged to the border pass, and as soon as they entered the Yaohan City, the scene of Xiao Suo in the Central Plains was displayed in front of everyone, but they didn't expect that the isolation gap of just a river was so big. The yellow sand is all over the sky, the shops are depressed, and there are only a few people passing by sporadically on the street. The group of them had already entered the city, and it was as if a behemoth had appeared on the street, and several people passing by the street quickened their pace and quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Coming to a relatively large inn on the Yaohan River, the group sent by Jiang Xiao could be regarded as having completed the task, and left before the city gate was closed. As soon as the group sent by Jiang Xiao left, Qian Sanjin rushed from the second floor to the place where the goods were placed in the backyard of the inn as if he was crazy, and the speed was so fast that even Bai Xiaofu couldn't catch up with him after him. He pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed towards a sack, and the sack suddenly broke a big gap, and countless wheat grains surged out of this gap, and at the same time, Qian Sanjin had suppressed his emotions for a long time. Qian Sanjin's legs fell to his knees as soon as his legs were weak, his face was silent, depressed, and collapsed, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know where he was looking, and he didn't seem to see anywhere, and his mouth gradually trembled and muttered something.

"Sure enough......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sure enough"

When Bai Xiaofu arrived, he saw this scene, a sack of grain that was still flowing out of the crack, and Qian Sanjin, who was almost crazy.

Bai Xiaofu called Jiang Zhen and helped Qian Sanjin, who was still trembling, back to the room before everyone noticed what was happening here, and then repacked the bag of grain that had been cut open and sewed the hole, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

When Bai Xiaofu saw the bag of grain, he had already had a general understanding of the whole incident in his heart, and formed a general framework, so when he called someone, he only called Jiang Zhen and did not call Wu Gang to help. It's not that it's deliberately concealed, the paper can't contain the fire, it's just that now is not a good time for Wu Gang to know the truth, in case Wu Gang can't control his emotions, it will be difficult to deal with.

Back in the room, Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen just sat quietly without saying a word, this incident was also a shocking event for them enough, originally the two of them just wanted to use this line to reach the border smoothly, even if they encountered threats and difficulties from the second prince on the way, they didn't have much sense of responsibility for this trip, but now everything has become complicated.

Now even Bai Xiaofu's heart is a mess. It's no wonder that Jiang Xiao is so relieved of his identity, because as long as his identity is not extremely outrageous, he can only be obediently held by this matter. However, now that he and Jiang Zhen can only be the poor people who are being held by their hands, it is not the time to expose themselves. However, it is already very troublesome to hide their identity as much as possible now, and now Jiang Xiao's appearance will be equivalent to creating obstacles to their current situation.

Bai Xiaofu has never been a person who wants things to die, and everything must not be a dead end without a solution, this is the experience that Bai Xiaofu summed up in business in his previous life.

Seon will always have a side to his advantage. Bai Xiaofu carefully analyzed the current situation. The reason why Jiang Xiao dared to do this was that he expected that the person he selected would definitely listen to his command and be used by him, but now it is true that in a short time, they can only passively accept the control from Jiang Xiao to ensure that the "goods" are sold smoothly this time, but Jiang Xiao really feels at ease to hand over such important goods to a businessman who is not in harmony with him and a little girl who he just looked like to take care of? What is the purpose of this? Do you have the courage to plant your own people on this road, or do you know that even if the goods are lost, they will still be lost in the hands of your own people. If it is the first kind of Bai Xiaofu thinks that this is impossible, after all, it is only a year since the beginning of the frontier war, and it is obviously impossible to spread his own manpower all over the frontier in a year, and the third prince and the fourth prince in Beijing almost control the support of most of the military attachΓ©s, and most of the supporters of the second prince are civilian officials, and now the frontier is turbulent and wants to insert his own people is indeed easier than before, but it is only possible to arrange one or two people, so unless the second prince has the ability to reach the sky, Otherwise, it would be impossible to arrange too many people on the frontier in a short period of time. The first possibility is excluded, and then look at the second possibility, the second possibility is only a little more likely than the first possibility, it is not difficult to ensure that the goods fall into his hands again, as long as he sends the team of people quietly follow behind Qian Sanjin's team, and find a good time to directly snatch the goods back, but the reverse will find that this does not make sense, why does Jiang Xiao have to go around such a big circle and finally transfer the mess to his own hands, just to drive Qian Sanjin crazy? It's impossible for Jiang Xiao to pay attention to a character like Qian Sanjin at all, he can get rid of it at any time if he wants, and even the cause of death will be very perfunctory. Besides, Jiang Xiao picked Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin to transport the goods because he wanted to get rid of the relationship with himself, even if Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin were arrested, as long as the previous transaction between Jiang Xiao and Qian Sanjin was relatively secret, even if Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin insisted that this matter was instructed by Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao could also shirk the false accusation of others, so there was no reason for Jiang Xiao to take this mess into his arms again.
