Chapter 490: Midnight Terror (2)
"The owner, there is Jingshan in front, and I finally arrived."
At this time, it was already dark, and Lei Xiaocheng still underestimated the difficulty of this snowy road.
"Master Lei, it's dark now, in case there are more troubles, you go and say hello first, and we'll slowly go up the mountain in the back."
These cottages have secret sentinels at night, and the entrances of the cottages are all used in wartime, and the previous bright roads have been abandoned, which is one of the reasons why these mountain bandits can still hide.
"Okay, I'll go over and say hello first, you guys slow down, the road up the mountain is more slippery, and you can't take the carriage in front, I'll go and see first, and then I'll see how to place the carriage." The brothers of the cottage generally have an inconspicuous stronghold at the foot of the mountain.
"Miss, slow down!"
Tao'er carefully helped the first snow to get off the carriage, and the cold wind became more and more cold at night, blowing on her face as if she were cutting into a knife.
Jing Si greeted Fang Yuan with a lantern, and the group walked forward slowly.
Lei Xiaocheng showed his waist card, and when the owner learned the news, he quickly greeted him in person.
"Hurry, hurry up and scald the wine, serve the food, the snow owner is here, distinguished guests!"
If you can come on this cold day, isn't it a distinguished guest?
Sitting by the brazier and roasting for a while, two sips of hot wine went down my throat, and the first snow finally eased up, almost frozen, this cold...
"I'm sorry to disturb Chen's family and brothers."
"Where is it, the Xue Dongjia is out of sight, why did the Xue Dongjia come over? It snowed for a few days and nights a few days ago, but it will stop today, and it's very cold. ”
Not to mention the curiosity of the head of the family, everyone present wondered, now that the northwest has fallen, and it is this winter, what is one of her daughters doing with this old and young? Doing business to fight for this, no wonder the business is big, and there is a reason why these people are polite to Chuxue.
In this current situation, they can have a stable meal to eat, thanks to the access to the world, although the family is a weak woman, she speaks with a mouthful of spit and a nail, saying that they can really do it if they don't go hungry, even if there is no business at the moment, they can still enjoy food.
"Yes, I have long heard how cold and cold the northwest is in winter, this time I have personally experienced it, this is not the fall of the northwest, I am not very worried about the situation here, so I took the risk to come and see, Chen is in charge, the brothers are all right, have those Polo troops disturbed the stockade?"
Chu Xue rubbed her hands and breathed, and her hands and feet were finally able to move freely.
"Don't worry, if there is something, you won't be able to see us, in this mountain, unfamiliar with the terrain, it's not so easy to find us, besides, there is really any rumor, left and right is to give up this village, life can still be saved, but let the Xue Dongjia remember, it's embarrassing to say, I haven't helped the Xue Dongjia do any business recently, and the Xuedong family also sends food to people on time every month, to be honest, the brothers are a little embarrassed."
Chen Dangjia's words are not false, although they are bandits, but people are so particular, they feel that they can't live with others, this way, what they pay attention to is the word righteousness.
"Don't say that, Master Chen, we have a word in advance, and those who do business have to take certain risks, and no one can control the current situation, right? In this situation, it is normal that there is little business to and from the northwest, but soon you will have work to do, and then you will have to work a cold day, and I am embarrassed. ”
Chu Xue came this time, for personal reasons, and indeed there was a business business that had to be run this time.
"Really? The snow master just commanded, the brothers now have the strength, although it is cold, but we are all used to it. ”
Not to mention, it's really boring to be idle every day.
"Then the news of Chen Dangjia is, by the way, Chen Dangjia, now that the northwest has fallen into the hands of Polo, I'm afraid it's not easy to go on this road, right?"
"Hahaha, although the Xue Dongjia can rest assured, no matter who is in charge, we have our own way, you can rest assured, but as long as you reach the world to transport things, we can't control the places next to you, and I am responsible for this section of Chen Jiazhai to ensure the completion of the task."
"Master Chen, I'm relieved to have your words!"
Chu Xue smiled and continued: "Master Chen, there is one thing I still have to remind, this is your last journey to the northwest, and it may not be so easy to clear the customs at that time." ”
"It's a joke of the snow master, how can we take the official road on this road..."
Chen Dangjia blinked, meaning that they had their way, so that she could just rest assured.
Chu Xue knew in her heart, sure enough, these cottages have their own secret passages, although she cooperates with them, it is not good to ask them for this secret passage, but this dark may be of great significance to Dayuan.
Put it first, let's go back, transport the goods once to see, whether you can pass through and have to go through to know, after all, now is different from the past.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Chen Dangjia asked people to beckon them to rest in the first snow.
"Miss, do we still have to go through every mountain this time?"
Today is the most comfortable night I have stayed in these days, the house is warm and the quilts and mattresses are thick.
Tao'er beckoned Chu Xue to lie down and couldn't help but ask.
"No, I don't have enough time, just go and see along the road, and I'll leave early tomorrow."
"Miss, do you really want to keep going? It's too cold in the northwest, look at your feet, it took so long to soak just now before it was hot, and you will definitely have chilblains when you turn around, you are already afraid of the cold..."Tao'er also knew that she couldn't be persuaded, but she still couldn't help but mutter, not distressed.
"Okay, I know it in my heart, you also listen, let's catch a rare snowstorm, originally the northwest was not so cold, in a few days it will be better, although it is colder, don't you think I'm fine?"
Tao'er shrugged her shoulders weakly, "Yes, you have something to say about what the slave maid says." ”
Chu Xue smiled, "Okay, let's rest, we have to hurry tomorrow." ”
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a noise in my sleep, Chu Xue slept shallowly, waking up faster than Peach, rubbing his eyes and pushing Peaches beside him.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Peach, do you hear the movement? Hurry up and light up and see what's going on? ”
Tao'er woke up for a while, heard a lot of movement outside, and hurriedly put on her clothes and waited for Chu Xue to get up.
"What's wrong?"
"Snow girl!" Outside the door, Fang Yuan also got up with his clothes on, and there was a lot of light in the cottage.
Chen Dangjia also came over.
Chu Xuehasao cleaned up, opened the door, and watched everyone get up.
"Master Chen, what's going on?"
"Master Xue, you may have to leave slowly tomorrow, there is a fight outside, and I don't know what the situation is at the moment."
"Fighting? Where and where to fight? Polo attacking Dayuan? Luogukou? ”
Chu Xue's thoughts became clear, and the whole person was also refreshed.
So fast? I thought that Polo was going to adjust and take a truce for a while, but the war started so soon, and it was strange that Luo Gukou could stop it.
"It should be, I just heard the movement, Polo suddenly sent troops, I haven't seen any movement before, look at the movement, it should be Luo Gukou, I have asked my brother to explore overnight, and I will know when I turn around, hey! This is to enter the customs in one go! ”
