Among the people of Zhao who were deeply influenced by the teaching of soldiers, there were still many people who were willing to find a job to subsidize their families in the cold winter when they could not engage in labor.

Therefore, even in the Purple Maiden, the caravan that seemed to be unreliable still recruited enough people when it was approaching dusk.

Including Yang Ming, a total of thirty people guarded.

As the boss, after the contract was formally signed, the purple girl, as the boss, generously bought a banquet and gathered people's hearts between eating and drinking.

During the three days of eating and drinking, Zinu also contacted several caravans from Korea, and then the joint caravan officially set off for Jingcheng Pass.

Although Taihang is dangerous, in the hundreds of years of operation between the Jin people and the Zhao people, the mountain road after the Jingcheng Pass is still quite smooth, except that it is too narrow and restricts the companionship of large-scale teams.

After passing through the Jingcheng Pass, the caravan that stretched for miles entered the narrow mountain road.

On either side are sword-like mountain walls, and in the deep valleys, the gravel pavement makes a crisp or dull sound under the hooves of horses and carts.

The grass and trees on the mountain have long dried up, making the whole world silent, fortunately, the cold of winter can not stop the active macaques, in the marching procession, from time to time you can hear the whistling of the macaques, and even occasionally hear the roar of the tiger, echoing between the empty valleys, but also make the whole world seem more and more quiet.

The purple girl wearing a hat drove a carriage loaded with goods, and the reins in her hand were just a slight shake, which had already made the horse change direction, not to mention, this purple girl's driving skills were very good, and she could definitely be called an old driver.

The person who can have this kind of car skill is either from a noble family and has learned the art of royal cars since he was a child, or he is from a low-level coachman family, and although the origin of the purple girl is mysterious, it is obviously impossible to be born in a chauffeur family, only from a noble family.

While skillfully 'driving' the car, the purple girl said to Yang Ming, who was walking beside the car: "If you are tired, you can put your sister in the car." ”

"It's okay, the little guy isn't sinking." Yang Ming, who was carrying the Snow Girl all the way, said nonchalantly.

"I can't rob your sister, it's really not a good heart." The purple girl laughed and scolded.

In the past few days, the purple girl has obviously become quite familiar with Yang Ming, and even made some jokes to dispel the boredom of the long journey.

As for why Zi Nu doesn't look for others and likes to chat with Yang, of course, there is no complicated reason, it's just that Yang Ming is young enough, at least much younger than Zi Nu.

Chatting with people of Yang Ming's age can not only have some fun, but also avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, after all, women still have to keep a certain distance between men, but with boys, you can ignore many problems.

"That's not for sure, my sister is very valuable." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Is it worth it? How much is it worth? Miss Daughter? The purple girl sent the reins to her left hand, and pinched the snow girl on Yang Ming's back with her free right hand.

"I'm worth three thousand gold." The Snow Girl avoided the purple girl's palm, buried her head in Yang Ming's neck, and said unhappily.

She doesn't like the Purple Girl very much, although the Purple Girl is very beautiful.

"Three thousand gold?" The purple girl was slightly stunned, she obviously didn't expect that there really was an accurate number, and it was said by the snow girl herself.

"It's interesting, it seems that there are a lot of stories between your brothers and sisters." The purple girl, who sensed a hint of abnormality in the Snow Maiden's words, said meaningfully.

"yes." Yang Ming said.

"Xiao Ming is deep." Seeing that Yang Ming didn't want to say more, the purple girl began to say joking things.

She likes to chat with Yang Ming, because Yang Ming is not very old and can let down a lot of guards, and at the same time, Yang Ming's temperament and speech and demeanor also make Zinu quite satisfied, neither the rudeness or inferiority of being born at the bottom, nor the reserve and arrogance of a wealthy family, with the unique vitality of a young man, and even simplicity.

But it is precisely because of this that the purple girl will think about teasing Yang Ming from time to time, she seems to like to see the serious and steady Yang Ming's expression change caused by mood fluctuations in an instant, she seems to like to see Yang Ming's teasing between her words to show a state of embarrassment.

And even if the word 'Xiao Ming' was the killing weapon that Zi Nu found today, she didn't know why Yang Ming was so concerned about the word 'Xiao Ming', but this did not prevent her from teasing Yang Ming with these two words from time to time.

Sure enough, when she saw Yang Ming's embarrassed and annoyed look for a moment, the purple girl had already covered her mouth and chuckled

Only Yang Ming's silence was in response to the purple girl's laughter, and the more Yang Ming was silent, the more the purple girl wanted to tease the other party's mind.

In the middle of the boring journey, the caravan crossed the mountain road and came to the exit on the west side of Taihang Mountain: Weize Pass.

There is a waterfall left from the mountain in front of the pass, even if it is the dry period of winter now, the flow is still very large, under the impact of the waterfall, a huge pool is formed below, which has become an important source of drinking water for Weize Pass.

After a long journey, the caravan of more than 1,000 bosses, guards, and coachmen stopped in front of the pass, ready to rest for the night before setting off.

The road ahead is more difficult to walk, not that the road is too difficult, after entering the Wuxing Mountain in the north of Jinyang, although it is still a mountainous area, but in that place, there is a river that stretches for hundreds of miles, in the winter dry season, the river is revealed, it is a natural road.

The reason why it is said that the road ahead is difficult is purely because of people.

In the following road, you will encounter more than one group of thieves, these thieves, some are refugees from Zhao who fled in Taiyuan, some are Qin soldiers who fled after the Qin army was defeated by Zhao army, and even the Hu people in the forest and Lou Annoying people in the north who could not bear the oppression of Zhao State, so many forces are entangled together, forming a large number of thieves in Heng Mountain.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is a merchant from the east of Zhao Di or a merchant from the south of Taiyuan County, it has become a common practice to pay a lot of money to recruit guards.

Of course, recruiting guards does not mean that there must be a conflict with thieves, as the so-called harmony makes money, the existence of guards can allow the merchants and thieves to have a balance of power, and then have more room for bargaining, if the 'toll' is appropriate, the merchants are very willing to spend money.

But there are always some unreasonable thieves, and at that time, it is time for the guards to fight for their lives.

Yang Ming had even seen that some of the guards had already found whetstones to sharpen their blades.

"Reed Zeguan." Yang Ming stood in front of the gate and looked at the plaque on the city gate, as if he wanted to find a trace of familiarity in it.

But unfortunately, apart from those three Zhao characters, he couldn't find a trace of familiarity.

"You've been here?" The purple girl with a small wine bag in one hand walked towards Yang Ming with a straight step, but said with some surprise.

"I haven't been here, I've just heard some rumors." Yang Ming said.

"What rumors? Let's hear it. The purple girl had already walked up to Yang Ming as she spoke, and even threw the wine bag in her hand to Yang Ming casually.

"It's nothing, it's just an ancestral temple." Yang Ming opened the wine bag at the signal of the purple girl, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, the mellow wine entered his throat, and in the cold wind, it seemed that there was some kind of flame in his body that had been ignited.
