The four days passed quickly, and nothing major happened during this time, but Shi Cheng has not been idle in the past few days, he has been shrinking in the room for the past few days, racing against time to make alchemy. However, due to the lack of good raw materials in his hands, he can only refine some of the most basic qi healing pills at the moment.

Shi Cheng's head seemed to have become a rattle in the past few days, and he kept shaking his head at the elixir he had refined. Wu Neng is a layman, and he can't see the doorway, but Tie Mian seems to know something about the way of alchemy, and he knows very well that these pills refined by Shi Cheng are only of low grade, but the quality is the best among the best pills of the same rank.

"I really don't know where he learned this ability." Tie Mian thought to himself, "A normal Dan Master may be just a pharmacist who dispenses medicine for patients at his age, I'm afraid only those geniuses who have been carefully cultivated by the Dan Master family since childhood can be compared to him." I didn't expect Shi Zhantian's predecessors to have such attainments in the way of alchemy. ”

The day of leaving Yunqiu City had arrived, and Shi Cheng wanted to go to the government to inquire about the progress of the poisoning case before leaving, but the officials of the Yamen of Yunqiu City were not as talkative as Zhao Ping. After touching the ashes, Shi Cheng and the three of them could only go on the road as soon as possible according to the original plan, and wait until Wang Cheng and Zhao Ping got in touch.

Outside the east gate of the city, the three of them didn't have much effort to find the convoy of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, after all, this convoy was too conspicuous, the flag was bigger than any other convoy, and there were more people gathered next to the convoy than any other convoy.

After waiting for nearly a stick of incense, a guy with a pamphlet walked up to the three of them and asked, "Are the three guest officers together?" ”

Seeing Shi Cheng nodded, the team mate asked again, "What's your name?" ”

"Under the surname Shi Mingcheng, my two companions are named Wu Neng and Tie Mian."

"It turned out to be Shi Gongzi mentioned by Steward Hu, your car has been arranged in advance, and you are in car No. 17, please come with me."

"Are we going to pay for it now?" Wu Neng asked.

"Steward Hu has already paid the travel expenses for the three of them." The guy replied with a smile.

At this moment, a voice with some surprise came from behind the three of them, "It's Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu, and Mr. Tie." The three of them came so early? ”

Turning his head, he saw that Hu Tong, the housekeeper of the Hu family, was standing not far behind the three of them.

Shi Cheng and Wu Neng stepped forward to greet Hu Tong, while Tie Mian arched his hand, as always, he was silent. After the team guy stepped forward and nodded and greeted Hu Tong, seeing that Hu Tong didn't plan to talk to him, he stood a little farther away and went to receive other guests.

Shi Cheng said with a smile: "Originally, the three of us wanted to come over early so that we could occupy a good position first, but I didn't expect that Steward Hu had already arranged it for us, and we had to work." Speaking of this, Shi Cheng took out a banknote with a denomination of 200 Wen and two banknotes with a denomination of 500 Wen from his pocket, and continued: "It's not good to let Hu Yuan break the bank, it's better to pay this fare down." ”

Mr. Shi said this, and he was divided. It's just a 200 wen travel fee, and Mr. Yu is a life-saving grace to my master. Hu Tong Zhengse said.

After a little prevarication, Shi Cheng no longer insisted, and Wu Neng asked curiously: "Why don't you see Hu Yuanwai and Mrs. Hu, but they have already settled down?" ”

Hu Tong nodded and said, "The master is still sick at the moment, and my housewife and a few of us have to take care of the master at all times, so I can't talk to the three gentlemen, and I ask the three gentlemen to forgive me." My lord has a lot of friendship with President Huang and Steward Zhang of this caravan, if the three gentlemen have any requirements, just follow the car guy to say hello. My lord and my mother live in car No. 5, and if the three gentlemen have anything, they can just send someone to send a message. ”

"Brother Hu, it turns out that you are here, so that the younger brother can find it easily."

When he was greeting, a voice suddenly came from afar, Shi Cheng's heart was slightly cold, and the voice of the person who came to speak was full of anger, obviously a person with cultivation.

The four of them turned their heads together, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and a scholarly temperament striding over.

Steward Hu hurriedly smiled and bowed, "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang stepped closer, looked at Shi Cheng and the others, and said with a smile: "The three are the three divine doctors that Brother Hu said?" Zhang Da, the steward of the caravan in the Xieyang Road branch of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce. ”

"It turns out that he is the Zhang Guan that Hu Tong said, this person has some cultivation, but he has just entered the realm of martial artists." Shi Cheng thought in his heart, with a slight smile on his face, and stepped forward to salute.

After a short period of greetings, Zhang Da looked at Hu Tong again, his face was a little more serious, and he sighed lightly: "I didn't expect Hu Yuanwai to encounter such a catastrophe on Xieyang Road, but fortunately, his surname is safe now." Our president is also very concerned about the physical condition of the staff members, and ordered me to prepare some supplements to recuperate my body, and I will have my subordinates personally send them to the carriage outside the staff later. The president of my family also said that after the staff returned to the royal city, he would definitely come to visit him in person. Speaking of this, he looked at Shi Cheng, "Originally, the president also wanted to find a pharmacist for the outside of the royal city, but since Mr. Shi is here, I think the president can also put his mind at ease." ”

After Shi Cheng said "don't dare to be", he suddenly asked, "Is President Huang in the royal city now?" ”

"The president is still somewhere else, but not in the royal city right now." Zhang Da shook his head, and then asked with some confusion: "Mr. Shi has something to do with our president?" ”

Shi Cheng said with a smile: "I have a little experience in the way of alchemy and medicine, and now I have a batch of gadgets that I have refined myself, and I want to find a good way to sell them at a good price." It's just that this is the first time the kid has come to the Southern Wilderness, and he is not familiar with the place, and he heard that President Huang of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce has traveled extensively, so he wants to ask President Huang for advice in person. ”

When he heard the word "alchemy" in Shi Cheng's words, Zhang Da's face changed greatly, and his eyes widened like copper bells. Hu Tong on the side seemed to know very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't hear the trick in Shi Cheng's words. He looked at Zhang Da with some doubts, and was very puzzled by his gaffe at this time.

"Mr. Shi is...... Danshi? Zhang Da asked cautiously.

After these words came out, it was finally Hu Tong's turn to lose his temper. He finally reacted, his mouth slightly open, Danshi was a figure that only existed in legends for him.

"If this is true, then the master's illness will be 100% cured!" He thought a little excitedly, but Shi Cheng's next sentence directly poured a bucket of cold water down.

Shi Cheng saw that Zhang Da was still a little unconvinced, so he replied: "There is a certificate issued by the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce. ”

Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce?!

"Mr. Shi is from the Western Continent? Not a Western-descendant who grew up in our country? Zhang Da's expression was very strange.

Zhang Da and Hu Tong were extremely surprised, Shi Cheng's Wei Guoguan spoke extremely fluently, and the two of them really didn't expect Shi Cheng to be from the Western Continent.

Shi Cheng nodded and didn't say much.

Zhang Da looked at Wu Neng and Tie Mian again and asked, "Then these two gentlemen are also ......?"

Wu Neng waved his hand and said, "I am from the Eastern Continent Wu Kingdom, and I met these two companions halfway. ”

Iron Mask still cherished words like gold, and replied simply and directly: "Union Khanate." ”

Shi Cheng glanced at everyone's expressions, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "In short, I dare to pack a ticket for the quality of the pill in my hand, if President Huang is interested, you can ask a senior appraiser to appraise it." Shi believes that with the blessing of President Huang's name, this batch of pills will definitely be sold at a good price. ”

"In this case, Zhang will definitely tell Mr. Wang's proposal to the Wang Steward of the Wangcheng Head Office, and make a decision after the chairman returns." Zhang Da nodded and agreed.

After agreeing on a place to meet in the city, Shi Cheng took his leave and walked to car No. 17 with Tie Mian and Wu Neng.

……

Wu Neng stood in front of the seventeenth car, his mouth was a little closed, he pointed to the carriage in front of him, and asked a tall servant on the side with a little stammer: "This, this thing is a carriage?" ”

The tall servant was not surprised by Wu Neng's reaction, he said with a smile: "Exactly, this car was built by the famous craftsmen of the Great Wei Dynasty, and only the fleet of our Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce will use this in the entire Western Desert Country, or the entire Southern Wilderness. Carriage. Speaking of this, some tall servants with fluttering eyebrows straightened their waists, "I heard that it is the chamber of commerce convoy of Great Wei, and it is rare to use carriages of such specifications." ”

Shi Cheng's face was also full of amazement, at first he was standing in the distance and wondered why there were still things like huts in the convoy, but after getting closer, Shi Cheng found that there were actually four pairs of wheels that looked very strong under those huts. It turned out that these "houses" were actually carriages placed on horse-drawn carriages.

The tall servant respectfully led the three of them to the door of a "room". Before entering the door, Shi Cheng deliberately paid attention to the servants waiting outside the next few carriages. The attire of the servants was completely different from that of the caravans, and the materials used in the clothes were all high-end goods, but the styles were varied.

It seems that these carriages should be specially reserved for some people with status. Thinking of this, Shi Cheng looked around again, and after confirming that there was nothing else worth noting, he entered the carriage behind the iron mask.

The interior of the carriage is elegantly decorated, like a miniature version of a doctor's bedroom. The interior of the carriage may seem ordinary, but the materials used are extremely elegant, and there is no need for exaggerated decoration to show its wealth. First time sitting on this. Wu Neng of the carriage kept turning around in the carriage, undisguised his curiosity. Iron Mask had no interest in these things, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself, staring at the sky outside the car window.

Shi Cheng sat on the edge of the bed on the other side, thinking back on his experiences and discoveries during this time.

"Now it is certain that the background of this Huangyuan is probably deeper than I thought." Shi Cheng thought as he looked at the furniture and decoration in the carriage, "It is very strange that the carriage is quite comfortable, and many things are of great value, and it stands to reason that I have never seen a caravan put such a lot of effort into the carriage in which the guests ride." In addition, the daily maintenance costs of such a fleet may be extremely expensive, but the travel expenses charged are so cheap, which is really not like what a profit-seeking businessman would do. ”

"Focusing only on providing car travel services for businessmen who travel between major cities, providing high-quality services at a low cost...... The first impression I had of this camel bell chamber of commerce was that it was a tool used to make friends with merchants of all sizes in the Western Desert. Thinking of this, Shi Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "I am afraid that there is a considerable backer behind this Huang Yuan who constantly provides funds for him, and uses it to indirectly build a network of connections for himself, and this Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce may be one of the hubs or hubs of this network of connections." After arriving at the Western Desert King City, we have to find a way to properly investigate the life of this President Huang and all his interpersonal relationships. ”

Time passed imperceptibly, and with a bell, the convoy finally began to march towards the Western Desert King City.
