Chapter Twenty-Nine: Clearing
Early in the morning, the gate of the manor was already full of people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 People were busy coming in and out, putting all kinds of needed supplies on the wagons.
Wei Yi and Hei Feng led a large team of Chiyan wild boars out of the manor, and then the teams got into the car, and Hei Feng also got into one of the carriages. After all the arrangements were made, Wei Yi walked to Zhu Bo's side, Zhu Bo wore a satin coat today, embroidered with all kinds of rare birds and beasts, whether it was the material of the clothes or the embroidery patterns on it, they all looked very classy, and he looked like a rich man at a glance.
Zhu Bo smiled at Wei Yi, pointed to the clothes he was wearing and said, "Zhu Yi's nephew, how about it, it was specially customized for you, it's still suitable, right?"
Wei Yi didn't reflect it for a while, he looked at the brocade stub on his body, and the mink scarf around his neck, and then remembered that he was now called Zhu Yi, and he was also a young master from a big family. immediately put on a cynical young master's face and said, "Uncle, it's okay, but it's far worse than the fur of our hometown." As he spoke, he pulled the scarf around his neck with his hand, revealing a disdainful expression.
Zhu Bo showed an appreciative smile, changed his face in an instant, and said: "Oh, good nephew, you will take care of it first, the main thing is that it is too hasty, I will find someone to get you a good fur in the next few days." ”
At this time, Tian Zhong happened to pass by and glanced at Wei Yi. Wei Yi immediately stopped him: "Hey, this guy, come here!" Tian Zhong didn't realize that he was talking to himself at first, but when he saw Wei Yi pointing at himself, he turned around and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"You slave, the young master called you, didn't you hear it?" Zhu Bo also tried his best to cooperate at this time, and entered the role earlier, so that everyone could make a more correct reaction when they were really interrogated by the imperial soldiers. As he spoke, he gave Tian Zhong a look and signaled him to cooperate quickly.
"You ......" Tian Zhong also remembered what the military advisor had explained yesterday, this time Wei Yi and Zhu Bo played the masters of the manor, and the others were their subordinates. Looking at the shivering clothes on his body and the longbow on his back, this was clearly a hunter hunting, so he had to respond helplessly: "Yes, young master, what do you command?"
Tian Zhong said the words of the slave while kicking Wei Yi with two copper bell-like eyes. "You work hard, you know? Come back, Young Master Ben will give you processing money, and then marry you a daughter-in-law. Wei Yi patted Tian Zhong's head, looking like a young master training a slave.
"Young Master Xie, Master Xie. I'm going to do a good job. "Tian Zhong felt that grievance in his heart, this little ghost actually climbed on my head, but he still had to pretend to be grateful on the surface. The group of captains and the soldiers of the Chu Feng Regiment next to him all laughed secretly, thinking that these three people had started acting so soon.
"Alright, go ahead and get your hands dirty. Wei Yi let Tian Zhong go, and in Tian Zhong's murderous eyes, he turned around seriously and began to inspect the preparations of his convoy.
Wei Yi found that among the busy figures, there were probably five or six captains, but they all changed their costumes and were extremely low-key, no different from the appearance of ordinary family members, including the "barbarian" Tian Zhong, the "iron block" Liu Dadou, the "frost" Fang Tian and other team captains he was familiar with. And the young master "Black Lion" Xiang Aochu, "Star Pupil" Chen Zhen, "God Operator" Hong Tianyong, "Divine Spear" Bai Feng, "Spark Great Swordsman" Du Yan, "God Hunter" Liu Zonglie, etc., are not in the crowd, presumably the same reason as Chen Zhen cannot appear, these captains and the core personnel of Chu Fengtuan often have contact with the empire, and even clash head-on, and it is inconvenient to appear in this kind of action.
Half an hour later, the convoy was ready, and all the personnel had been assembled and on standby, with nearly 100 people, including more than 50 elite people who came down from Hidden Dragon Mountain, and nearly 50 people in the core combat strength of the Mojiang garrison itself.
Zhu Bo greeted Wei Yi, boarded a luxuriously decorated carriage led by him, and then stuck his head out of the window of the carport and said to a family member on the side: "Go!" The convoy slowly drove out of the manor, and the target was the forest road checkpoint west of Tsunami City.
The Red Flame Forest Road has a history of nearly 200 years and was originally built during the reign of Emperor Liewu. After Emperor Liewu unified the entire Asian New World, in order to establish the communication and exchange between Tsunami City in Donghai Prefecture and Flame City in Linghuo Prefecture, a large number of manpower and material resources from the two states were mobilized, and it took nearly five years to complete. The entire forest road is two feet wide and can accommodate more than five horse-drawn carriages running side by side. The road is paved with soft stones on the east coast of the sea and igneous stones around the Chiyan volcano, so the whole road is red and white, and the people also call this forest road "water and fire avenue". At the same time, this avenue also represents the great contribution made by the two peoples who had been enemies for generations after Emperor Liewu unified the New Asian continent and finally turned hostility into friendship, and made great contributions to building a peaceful continent.
Now, every day, a large number of residents of both states travel up and down the trail for a variety of reasons. There are businessmen, tourists traveling between the two places, and various postmen who deliver letters and goods.
However, with the instability of the entire continent in the past two years, the rebel armies in various places have become more and more intense, and Tsunami City has set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the forest road to check the merchants who come and go, so as to prevent some wanted criminals from escaping or entering Tsunami City.
At ten o'clock at noon, Chu Fengtuan's convoy had already arrived in front of the checkpoint. The entire trail level is located on the west side of Tsunami City, where you can see the magnificent Tsunami City main tower spire. There were already a lot of people lined up in front of the checkpoint, and Zhu Bo commanded the convoy to adjust neatly, waiting for the checkpoint soldiers to check it.
In the ranks, many soldiers involuntarily clenched their fists. These soldiers, who are usually fearless of life and death on the battlefield, are somewhat nervous at this time. Because this is not a simple battlefield where you have to do your best to kill one by one, but a top-secret operation that may lead to the failure of the entire regiment's plan and even all the partners will be implicated because of your own eyes or inappropriate movements. This kind of test of psychological quality is actually not inferior to a desperate struggle on the battlefield.
At this time, Zhu Bo had already disembarked from the carriage and began to inspect his convoy. As he walked, he also chatted with the family members, such as: Are the pigs still there? Are all the people here? Clothes are well dressed, etc., irrelevant topics.
In fact, everyone can feel that this steward is at this time, to stabilize the morale of the army, no matter what he talks to everyone on his lips, but everyone can read such words from his eyes: "Take it easy, there is no problem!"
As the team advanced forward little by little, it was soon Chu Fengtuan's turn to be in the convoy. A man who looked like an officer walked over to the level, waving a leather whip in his hand as he walked. Zhu Bo took the initiative to greet him, and followed flatteringly: "Duwei Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." How have you been?"
"Zhu Bo, your convoy is not small this time, what are you going to transport out?" Tsunami City stationed nearly a thousand people at the entrance of the forest road, all of them under the command of this captain, who was responsible for the inspection and protection of the entire checkpoint. This lieutenant surnamed Chen naturally enjoyed a lot of benefits because of this fat difference. Merchants who come in and out of him will inevitably pay a little money when they come to him. Zhu Bo had already dealt with him countless times, so as soon as he saw that it was Zhu Bo's convoy, he himself walked out of the sentry next to him.
"Hey, Lieutenant, it's all wild boars this time. Sold to the big restaurant in Flame City. Zhu Bo naturally communicated with the lieutenant according to the original plan.
"Wild boars? Isn't your farm full of domestic animals? Where do you get so many wild boars? Chen Duwei said as he went to the back of a carriage and lifted the oilcloth to take a look, and it was indeed full of dirty red wild boars. Moreover, there was still a smell of pig in this carriage, and Duwei Chen frowned and put down the oilcloth.
"Hehe, Lieutenant, isn't it that the pork in the city restaurant has no taste, and I want to taste the mountain delicacies. Zhu Bo followed as he observed the captain's face. To do his errand, it is very important to look at his face.
"That's not right, Lao Zhu, why are there all fresh faces in your team? Recruit so many newcomers?" Chen Duwei walked all the way down, his eyes fell on the strong family members one by one, and some of them looked like people who practiced martial arts at a glance, and their doubts increased greatly. Turning his head to look at Zhu Bo.
"Uncle, why haven't you let you pass for so long?" Wei Yi's voice came from behind, showing extreme impatience.
Chen Duwei followed the sound and saw a young master wearing brocade and mink skins getting out of the carriage with an uncomfortable face. "Who is this person?" Chen Duwei looked at Zhu Bo with an unhappy expression.
"Yi'er, don't be rude, didn't you see that Du Wei was checking?" Zhu Bo pretended to reproach Wei Yi seriously, and then said flatteringly to Du Wei Chen: "Du Wei, this is my distant nephew, Zhu Yi! His father, that is, my cousin, is a big businessman in Yunzhong, specializing in the fur business. Isn't it not easy to do business in the past two years, and my nephew wants to come out on his own. So I asked this kid to bring a group of people down, and follow me to run the farm first and exercise. Zhu Bo hurriedly rounded up the previous question, pointed to the fresh faces, and said, "Look, these are all hunters brought by my nephew, and the northerners are very strong and strong, and they are especially good at hunting. You see, my carts of Chiyan wild boars were all brought by these people after they came. ”
"Oh, do you still have such a relative, boy, come here!" Chen Duwei looked at Zhu Bo, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and suddenly yelled at Wei Yi.
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect this lieutenant to grab Wei Yi directly, I don't know if this kid can handle it. Wei Yi didn't act at a loss, but walked over with a frown, and didn't look at the lieutenant squarely. walked to the front, looked Chen Duwei up and down, and said, "This ......"
"Chen Duwei, Chen Duwei!" On the contrary, Zhu Bo showed a little lower status than this nephew, which made Chen Duwei have some more doubts in his heart, could this kid really have some background?
"Captain Chen, you see that my uncle and I are both serious businessmen, as the saying goes, officials and businessmen are one family, in the clouds, we are doing the leather protective gear business in the army every year, and we know many generals. When did I have to queue up for so long to pass a checkpoint? It's still my good temper, and if my father was here, he would have cursed a long time ago. When Wei Yi spoke, he looked like a child of a family who was well versed in the way of officials and business, and he was stunned when he heard this captain.
"May I ask who your father is?" Du Wei also heard it, the little ghost in front of him is also a rich second generation, and the real awesome should be his father, so it is only by figuring out who his father is to decide whether it is true or not.
"My father's surname is Zhu!" Wei Yi took a step forward, this is all nonsense, your name is Zhu Yi, is your father's surname Zhu not surnamed Zhang? But Chen Duwei didn't think so, he had fallen into deep thought, and in his decades of memory, he was desperately searching for a big man in the north surnamed Zhu.
"Known as Zhu Wansan, it's inconvenient for me to say the specific name, lest his old man say that I am a fox or something. Wei Yi also showed an evasive expression at this time, looking a little embarrassed. At this time, Tian Zhong and the others were called up by Zhu Bo and carried up a heavy small box. Wei Yi opened the box slightly, and golden light shot out from inside, it was a box of jewelry.
"Oh! Zhu Wansan, old man Zhu. I'm a little impressed. "Even if Duwei Chen can't find this person at all at this time, he must admit that he knows. The nature that made him completely conquer him in front of him was this box of jewels.
"My father used to say that he relied on his brothers at home and his friends when he went out. Tell me that I must make more friends when I go out. I think Chen Duwei is also a righteous person, and I have made this friend. This box of pocket money, I should give Chen Duwei a welcome gift first. You can't be too little!" Wei Yi continued.
"This ...... This...... How embarrassing is it?" Chen Duwei had already been carried away by the jewelry, and Wei Yi said it so generously, just this box is just pocket money, how much will it cost if you give a serious gift?
"Hey, Duwei Chen, this is also a piece of the little nephew's heart, you can accept it. Zhu Bo said as he glanced at him, making Chen Duwei feel as if he was saying: Don't shirk, such a thing is nothing to him.
"Okay, okay, then I'm welcome. Zhu Yixian's nephew, in the future, when you do business in the south, what is the use of getting your Uncle Chen, you just need to inform him. Ha ha. Chen Duwei really didn't expect that he originally wanted to come out and knock some small bamboo poles on Zhu Bo, but he received such a big gift, and he happily began to be related to Wei Yipan.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Wei Yi also took advantage of the situation and exchanged a few words of greeting.
Finally, the convoy passed the checkpoint safely and steadily, and sped south on the "Avenue of Water and Fire".
