Chapter 13: Hidden Snow Valley
Since the outbreak of the small beast tide, although there have been many sporadic encounters with fierce beasts along the way, this is nothing, and what has made the caravan vigilant again is the reappearance of about a few dozen people two miles away
"Steward Wang"
"My lord, you can't kill this matter, let's not talk about whether it's really bad for us to follow us, but if it's really bad for us, since we haven't given up after following for so long, it means that the other party has enough strength to deal with us, even if we kill it, it's useless, but if not, it's bad for us to spread it!" Steward Wang said sincerely to the middle-aged grandmaster
Steward Wang's concerns are normal, it is not an overnight thing for the Yun family to accumulate such a reputation, the most important thing is that businessmen value sincerity and trust, and the Yun family attaches great importance to these
"The housekeeper thinks about it himself!" The middle-aged grandmaster frowned and turned his head and left, but Xiao Zheng couldn't help but agree with the middle-aged grandmaster's words, after all, Qin Wanru had also told him before, since he wanted to hire a grandmaster, then he was sure that the housekeeper of this caravan knew something, or these news were passed down from above, but these were not things that the hired person needed to know, so Xiao Zheng could only make a move when necessary
"It's really strange, it's clear that Steward Wang is also very concerned about this suggestion, but why did he still refuse!"
"Why, the general is also very tempted by this suggestion?"
"Of course, no matter why these people keep following behind, then it is impossible to follow behind for no reason!"
"The general actually thinks so!" Qin Wanru looked at Xiao Zheng, she didn't know how many times she had looked at Xiao Zheng along the way, but she could only look at Xiao Zheng, because this guy's way of thinking was always different from what others thought
"Could it be that Miss Qin will do meaningless things?
"Their purpose should be to track the caravan, how could it be doing meaningless things!" Qin Wanru still didn't understand a little, and couldn't help asking, in fact, some things can be understood just by jumping out of the circle and looking inside from the outside, but this is obviously not so easy for Qin Wanru to develop this habit for a while
"Steward Wang also said before, since we dare to follow closely, we naturally have enough strength to deal with us, so they follow us to show two possibilities, one is that these dozens of people are considered to be broken, and they did not directly attack the caravan, and the other is that the time is not right!"
"What does the general mean by which people must die?"
"That's right, there's no reason to live!"
Qin Wanru still looked at Xiao Zheng, and she couldn't feel what she was thinking in her plain eyes, in short, these were the caravan's affairs, what they had to do was just to protect the caravan's safety, this was not a contradiction
After another two days, the caravan had reached the middle section of Chongluan County, and after four days and nights of continuous travel, it finally came across the first village of Chongluan County
The village is located in the valley, to here, the branch of the snow-capped mountain has been extremely high, that is, there is this snow on the top of the mountain to the west of the village, perhaps this is the most marginal village, and the corresponding defense is also extremely tight, the valley is surrounded by sentry forts, and the two valley mouths are also piled up with a boulder wall more than ten meters long, leaving only the road in the middle that is enough for a huge rhinoceros to pull the goods through, but the villagers of the village are very enthusiastic, Because there are exactly twenty carts of food and other necessities in the goods of the Yun family caravan are the things of this village, because it is too remote, the village lacks many things, so the transaction with the Yun family caravan is very important every year, and here, as an important trade route of the Yun family, attaches great importance to this village that can be used as the central point
"Well, I felt so cold all the way away, but I didn't expect it to be so warm here!" As soon as you pass through the stone gate, a warm feeling fills the people's faces, and this place is not just a few hardy trees like other places, but it is full of greenery, and there are even many lawns on the ground
"I can't imagine that there is such a place in the mountains!" Xiao Zheng was also quite surprised, Xiao Zheng, who was not good at studying, didn't know and couldn't explain the reason why the valley was as warm as spring, and the most surprising thing was that there was a sound of running water in the distance
"And ice water here?"
"Hehe, adults will know if you go and see it, this is not just the snow on the top of the mountain!" Steward Wang seemed to be very relaxed when he arrived here, and pointed to the many stone forts in the distance with a smile, which were also the most densely populated stone forts
"Steward Wang, how long are we going to stop here?"
"About a day, tomorrow and now, there are still many things to exchange with the villagers here, in fact, the two adults are interested in making some exchanges with the villagers here!"
"Okay, Miss Qin, get out of the car, it's a pity not to see the scenery here!" After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he walked out of the carriage, after coming out of the academy, Xiao Zheng saw such a beautiful place for the first time, and of course he thought that it was a pity that he couldn't walk with Bing'er, but it was not bad to have Qin Wanru, as long as it was a beauty, it was not a pity
"The general still likes this?!" Qin Wanru also walked out of the carriage, but looking at Xiao Zheng's gaze was a little weird, Xiao Zheng's music was not a little strange, and Go would not be playing a thing called chess by himself in the students attracted a lot of people, even the master was amazed, and the painting was extremely poor, and the things drawn were very unsightly and polite, but the book had some doorways, and even he could only bow to the wind
"It's not that I like it, it's just yearning, does Miss Qin know what yearning means?" Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, and there was a feeling that he didn't want to leave, but what Xiao Zheng didn't know was that when Xiao Zheng felt it with all his heart, the surrounding plants were shaking as if they were spiritual, and he knew that although there was a warm wind in this valley, it could not affect these grasses
“”
"Miss Qin?" Xiao Zheng saw that Qin Wanru didn't answer for a long time, so he couldn't help but turn around and say
"I don't know, but it's a good place!" Qin Wanru knew Xiao Zheng's affairs very well, so although she was surprised, she quickly returned to normal, but she had a deeper understanding of Xiao Zheng's artistic conception
"Two adults, the housekeeper asked me to tell the two adults to please go and meet the three adults here!"
"Three?!" Xiao Zheng was stunned, even if he knew that there must be a reason why this village could exist here, but it was a big surprise that there were three grandmaster-level masters, and the same was true for Qin Wanru, but it was not as obvious as Xiao Zheng, at least the stability still existed
"Yes, these three adults have always been here, and the adults accompanying the caravan will visit them every time!" The guards who passed the word were very respectful in their words, and they were all grandmasters
"Lead the way!"
"Adults, please come with me!"
"I didn't expect that there were three grandmasters in this village, it couldn't be that the Han Empire wanted to develop this place into a grandmaster sent by the fortress!" Xiao Zheng stepped on the gravel path, and glanced at the busy villagers by the way, there is not much food in the village, but most of them are fruits or vegetables and medicinal herbs, but also, the things brought by the caravan every time are enough for the village for two years, and the village does not know how much food and other things have been stored in hundreds of years
"Further away, Dahan has a regular garrison of 30,000 people, and there is no need to open a new fortress here!" Qin Wanru glanced at Xiao Zheng and said lightly
"Uh, this is a military secret, right, Miss Qin told me like this?"
"No, that's just the first step of the Han Empire's exploration of the 100 million miles of snow mountain, and everyone in the whole continent knows about it!"
"Hehe, too!" Xiao Zheng rubbed his nose and no longer continued to dwell on this matter, hundreds of millions of snow mountains or something are too far away for Xiao Zheng, and even if they are close, they have nothing to do with Xiao Zheng, but when Qin Wanru said this, Xiao Zheng remembered Xiao Buluo and others who crawled out of the ancient tomb, so long time has passed, it seems that everyone has forgotten about this matter, but Xiao Zheng can't forget it
"The two adults have arrived!"
"Well, you step down!" Qin Wanru waved her hand, and then walked in with Xiao Zheng to this place that looked like an ancestral hall
"Two adults!" Steward Wang looked at Xiao Zheng and Qin Wanru with a smile, there were three people sitting in the middle of the hall, Steward Wang was sitting in the first place, and the middle-aged grandmaster and the white-haired grandmaster were sitting in the third place and the other was sitting in the second
"Steward Wang!" Xiao Zheng nodded, and turned to look at the three people in the hall, at the moment when he looked at the three people who were smiling, Xiao Zheng's heart instantly froze, and that gaze seemed to be plain, but Xiao Zheng just felt a huge pressure, and Xiao Zheng didn't know how long Xiao Zheng hadn't experienced this feeling
"I've seen three seniors!" Qin Wanru was obviously much calmer than Xiao Zheng, and she obviously found a lot of differences in giving gifts, and Xiao Zheng was also close behind, these three were not simple!
"Xiao Wang, you have found two good people this time!"
The white-haired old man in the middle of the hall looked at Steward Wang with a smile, and Steward Wang also got up with a smile to give a salute, but he didn't have too much restraint, and he had obviously seen it many times
"Boss, you can blame me, the kid hasn't even been promoted to the grandmaster, where can you see this, these four adults are here after taking the task!"
"Do you Yun family look down on our village, even the grandmaster is hired!"
"Hehe" Another white-haired old man spoke, but Steward Wang could only smile and salute, and he didn't know how to answer the white-haired old man's question
"This kid is so old!" The old man pointed at Steward Wang, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then people knew that Steward Wang was not simple, and he could make such a few grandmaster-level masters ridicule
"You are from the Qin family!" The middle-aged Grandmaster looked at Qin Wanru and said lightly, but it made the middle-aged Grandmaster and the white-haired Grandmaster look at him tightly, the Qin family!
"Do you know the people of the Qin family?" Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at the middle-aged Grandmaster in surprise
"The eyes are bright, obviously the spirit is excellent, and there is a jade flute hidden in the body, is there a second family like this?" The middle-aged grandmaster said everything he said word by word, and even Xiao Zheng subconsciously looked into Qin Wanru's eyes (to be continued.) )
