Seeing that the "son" looked over, Zhao Song said without changing his face: "There are too many things that need to be dealt with recently, and I really can't take Xi'er's feelings into account......

Speaking of this, he didn't pay attention to the scrutinizing gaze cast by his wife, and only picked up his daughter apologetically, until he made her smile, then turned to Zhao Chen again, and said:

"Tomorrow you will leave for Yumen County, and you have to take care of yourself when you are away alone...... If there is anything you don't understand, please ask your master, Huang Lao is an old Jianghu, even if he doesn't know much about businessmen, but he is experienced in other aspects......

"In addition, I sent Shopkeeper Lin and your Uncle Zhan to assist you in jointly operating the trade route to Dunhuang in cooperation with your master.

"Well, Shopkeeper Lin is already in the Jade Gate at this time, and he is helping you to 'play the front station'...... Your Uncle Zhan will accompany you with a team of firecrackers to protect your safety and be responsible for escorting the first batch of ice spring wine to test the water.

"This batch of wine is also your initial capital, and it depends on your ability to earn more and less...... If you get wine from the ice spring in the future, you have to go through the normal process. ”

Lin Ruxiang's name is Lin Ruxiang, who is hired by the original owner's biological mother to manage the dowry.

The so-called Uncle Zhan is Zhao Zhan, the distant cousin of the original owner's father Zhao Song, the two have a very good relationship and deep kindness, which is not much better than their own brothers.

In the past few nights, Zhao Chen has obtained most of the memories of the original owner, so the basic information of these two people immediately flashed in his mind, and he thought:

The dowry of the original owner's mother was assigned to Zhao Song's eldest brother who studied in Zhangye, and the eldest brother of the original owner had his own trusted person to take care of these properties, so the shopkeeper Lin was actually in a state of "unemployment", and it was reasonable to be transferred to me.

Uncle Zhan's words...... Did my father transfer such an important subordinate and a whole team of firecrackers to me in order to squeeze out the master and monopolize that trade route in the future?

Or did he have something else in mind?

Tsk, the eldest brother of the original owner, I, Zhao Song's brother Zhao Zhan, have been arranged out of the ice spring one after another, I don't know the inside story, I'm afraid I really think that the Li family, who gave birth to a son, is playing tricks, right?

Of course, this cannot be ruled out...... However, from what I have observed these days...... Not like!

Well, go back and let Senior Brother Chen pay more attention to the movements of the Zhao family...... It's a pity that in the Zhao family, I don't have any trustworthy manpower.

In a flash of thought, Zhao Chenli replied thoughtfully: "Father bothered, the child knows." ”

"Forget it, I don't nag too much, I already started to roam the rivers and lakes when I was as old as you, and the conditions you have now are much better than I did at the beginning." After Zhao Song sighed, he glanced at his wife beside him.

Li Xiuling immediately understood, took out a bag from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Chen, and said with a pleasant face:

"There is a 100 guan silver ticket here, as well as a total value of 100 guan's 'straight hundred' and 'dangqian' loose coins...... Take it away and spend it on the road. ”

Two hundred? Zhao Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, you must know that this is not a small amount, Zhao Song has been in business for a year last year, and the net profit on the surface is only five hundred!

Of course, he doesn't know what is going on the surface, but what he's doing in the dark...... Anyway, it takes a few teams of firecrackers to maintain the transaction, and it is estimated that the benefits will not be small.

Therefore, Zhao Chen was not polite to the cheap father, and directly took the bag and put it close to him.

After that, the family was happy to eat, drink, talk and laugh on the surface, and enjoy the singing and dancing arranged by the town guard, until the banquet ended, Zhao Chen said goodbye to his parents and followed his master Huang Xianjun back to the martial arts hall.

And Zhao Song and his wife also did not go home, and chose to stay in the town guard mansion for one night.

Only the little guy returned to Zhao's house and helped his young master pack the clothes and belongings that needed to be taken to Yumen.

Early the next morning, Zhao Chen held the seemingly ordinary "Wind Chopping Sword" and practiced the only true qi martial art recorded in the "Golden Mansion Jade Room Twelve Gates Xingqi Secret Record" in the courtyard paved with white sand, the "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword".

I saw that his hands were divided into yin and yang, his body was hidden in the gossip, he stepped on the nine palaces, the inside was in line with his qi, and the outside was in his shape, the sword light was fast and slow, and the rigidity and softness were combined.

This is because he has a strong soul and meticulous control over his body and true qi, so he can quickly learn swordsmanship.

But it also stopped here for the time being, and if I wanted to continue to go deeper, it would not be able to achieve it in one or two days.

"Good!" As soon as Zhao Chen finished his efforts and stood still, there was a cheer from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Senior Brother Feng and Master Huang Xianjun had already walked out of the main hall, looking at him with a smile.

And the "good" just now was exactly what Feng Cang shouted.

"How many days has my junior brother been practicing martial arts? He has already practiced the essence of the 'Taiyi Xuanmen Sword'...... Even the senior brother, who was also a cultivator seed at the beginning, didn't have such speed. Feng Cang looked at Zhao Chen, who was standing with his sword closed, and couldn't help but sigh.

He ranked third among Huang Xianjun's disciples, and there were two senior brothers above, but neither of them was by Master Huang's side at the moment.

As for those two senior brothers, Zhao Chen has also heard about them in the past few days, so he smiled and said: "Senior brother is practicing the 'Yu Wang Sect', and the true qi he has cultivated is not well matched with this 'Taiyi Xuanmen Sword', so naturally it is not as convenient as my junior brother." ”

"Even so, it is beyond my reach Senior Brother...... Feng Cang sighed as he frequently looked at Master Huang beside him.

Huang Xianjun naturally understood his careful thoughts, and scolded: "Bastard boy, if you want to catch up with your junior brother's progress, try to visualize, rely on yourself to strengthen your soul power, and see what I do?" ”

"It's not about thinking, do you still have that kind of ...... Is that kind of medicine that can assist in cultivation......" Senior Brother Feng blushed and said with a flattering smile, "My strength has improved, and I can also try my best to share your worries for you, master, right?" ”

"Raise soul power? There's a way! You can find a random demon to worship, maybe it is in a good mood and will reward you. After a few words, Master Huang scolded again, "I don't want to work hard, I always want to take shortcuts, is this the mentality that a cultivator should have?"

"And the external objects that you already rely on for 'Jingjing', if you don't lay a solid foundation, it will be difficult to refine your eyes in the future!"

After training Senior Brother Feng for a long time, after seeing that he finally bowed his head and was taught, Huang Xianjun nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Zhao Chen to hurry back to pack his things, and they were about to leave.

Zhao Chen clenched his fists and took the order, and after returning to his room, he only put away the two magic weapons of "Toad Light Ribbon" and "Wind Cutting Sword", as well as the "Bird Feather" pistol and silver ticket, and went out again.

As for the rest of the things, naturally Fengqu helped to take them with him - as Zhao Chen's servant, he naturally had to follow him to Yumen.

When he came to the gate of the martial arts hall, Zhao Chen happened to see Senior Brother Feng climbing the lintel with a ladder, carefully taking off the plaque of the martial arts hall, and wrapping it in cloth.

The master Huang Xianjun watched the apprentice's movements, and only after a long time did he take a deep breath and say to the more than ten men in strong clothes behind him: "Let's go!" ”

"Yes!" The more than ten men in strong suits responded in unison, and followed Huang Xianjun and Feng Cang's apprentices towards the city gate.

Although Zhao Chen was a little strange why they didn't ride horses, considering that the master was an old Jianghu, and the original owner's father should have also made arrangements, he didn't ask much, and only followed next to the senior brother, and greeted the former martial arts disciples who came to see him off.

Soon, the group came to the gate of the city, and a group of men with long poles and firearms were gathering here, surrounding a dozen carts full of goods.

This is obviously the fire team and ice spring wine that Zhao Song allocated to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen stepped out of the crowd and saluted a man with a scar on his face led by the Fire Gun Team, "Uncle Zhan." ”

The man with the scar, that is, the cousin of the original owner, Zhao Zhan, nodded slightly, pulled out a terrifying smile on his face that could stop the child's night crying, and said: "Xiao Chen, from now on, you are the leader of our team, give the order directly." ”

Zhao Chen glanced at the team wearing a uniform and looking well-disciplined, and muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he pulled out his long sword and pointed in the direction of the master, following the team of the Yellow Pavilion Master.

Following his order, the team of twelve people immediately made a move.

They were divided into groups of three, one group leading the way in front, two groups protecting the flanks, and one group in the rear, with a clear division of labor and prohibitions.

Tsk, such a firecracker...... It seems to be stronger than the soldiers of the town guard I saw a few days ago...... The original owner's cheap dad is really an ordinary wealthy businessman in the township?

Zhao Chen's heart became more and more confused, and he was ready to have the opportunity to find this Uncle Zhan next to him to find out a thing or two.

But Huang Xianjun didn't care too much about the state of this team of soldiers after seeing it, as if he had known that this would be the case, and even nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed:

"Such an elite, ordinary masters of the Nine Tricks don't dare to skept it."

After all, Ye Liwang, the leader of the Sand Snake Gang, left Ice Spring Town a few days ago, and Huang Xianjun was not sure if the other party would ambush his group on the road......

And now with such an elite firecracker team with them, safety is naturally guaranteed.

Before leaving the city, Zhao Chen suddenly felt something in his heart, and when he looked back, he saw that on the top floor of a restaurant near the town gate, Zhao Xi, the original owner's sister who was held in the arms of his stepmother Li, was waving to him hard.

Seeing this, even Zhao Chen, who didn't regard them as family members, softened his heart, and waved his hand at his stepmother and sister, which was regarded as a farewell.

In this way, after the two teams formed a road, they walked about two miles before stopping in front of a pier next to the "Li Gong River".

A wooden-hulled steamship about 20 meters long is docked on the water next to the pier.

It was only at this time that Zhao Chen suddenly realized that the master was preparing to go to Yumen by water, no wonder he did not prepare horses.

……

Meanwhile, in a hidden basement in Icespring.

The "fox" covered by the black robe asked the majestic figure at the top for instructions: "Lord 'Tiger', Huang Xianjun has left the ice spring, when will we start?" ”

"Just tonight!"
