When Mu Xun came to the door of the "Yunju" Chamber of Commerce, he happened to see He Yaocheng, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, counting the goods to be loaded into the car at the door.

He Yaocheng is now in Chinese New Year's Eve, born with a high nose and deep eyes, thin lips and sword eyebrows, a strong and burly figure, although the whole person does not look handsome, but he is also in good spirit.

At this time, he was holding the ledger to check the goods on the car, and the moment he looked up, he just caught a glimpse of Mu Xun who was walking closer.

He immediately turned his head to look at Mu Xun, and greeted with a smile: "Ouch, what kind of wind blew Young Master Mu here, I haven't seen you for a long time... What's wrong with your face?"

Mu Xun was very familiar with this He Tuo, and immediately touched his cheek and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "I will talk to my eldest brother about those miscellaneous things I encountered another day." I have nothing to do today, and I have asked my eldest brother to help me with something. ”

He Yaocheng said curiously: "What is the matter?"

Mu Xun leaned his head over and said, "I need to go to Gusu once, I'll leave today, you have a caravan here, can you take me for a ride?"

At this time, He Yaocheng had already smelled the smell of wine all over his body, so he only said that he was talking about wine, and immediately smiled: "Are you using the strength of wine to fool around with me? Why do you think that you are going to Gusu, what are you going to do?"

Mu Xun glared and said, "Who has the spare time to mess around with you, my grandfather is sick... I'm seriously ill, and I need to go to visit, but I've never traveled far, so I'm going to ask you for help. ”

He Yaocheng was skeptical, and then asked: "Are you really going to Gusu to visit your grandfather? I have never heard you mention that your grandfather's house is in Gusu? And what about your father? Why didn't he come with you?"

Mu Xun didn't bother to explain, so he immediately rolled his eyes, turned around and was about to leave.

He Yaocheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "It's really a big temperament, and I didn't say I wouldn't help you." ”

Mu Xun turned around and said with a smile: "I know that Brother He is a righteous man, and he will definitely not help me." ”

He Yaocheng saw that he turned his face faster than a book, and he felt helpless, so he had to smile bitterly: "You, you are really a difficult master." I haven't sent a caravan to Gusu here in recent days, but today there is a team of people who are going to leave for Kaifeng, you can go with them, I will inform the master of the team leader, and when you arrive in Kaifeng, he will help you find a caravan to go to Gusu, so that it will not delay much time. ”

Mu Xun grinned and said, "That's very good, then thank you Brother He!"

He Yaocheng waved his hand and asked again: "Don't be busy, thank you, you haven't told me yet, why didn't your father come." ”

Mu Xun said nonsense: "My father still has some business matters to deal with, let me take the first step and wait until we meet in Gusu." ”

After He Yaocheng heard this, he didn't think much about it, after all, it is common for businessmen to be entangled in trivial matters, so he said: "The caravan will leave in a quarter of an hour, you go back and pack your luggage." ”

Mu Xun said: "You don't need to bring luggage, if you need it, you can buy some on the towns along the way." But I have to wait for a friend of mine, who went with me to Gusu. ”

He Yaocheng said: "Then you wait here for a while, and I will go to find the master of the team leader to come and ask you to get acquainted." ”

After He Yaocheng left, after a while, he saw Xu Che trotting to the door of the Chamber of Commerce with a big burden on his back.

Mu Xun looked sideways at the big burden behind Xu Che, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing with so many things, don't you plan to come back?"

Xu Che raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said, "I've never been far away, and I don't know what I need to bring, so I brought everything I could think of in case I needed it." ”

Mu Xun couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to grab Xu Che's burden and unpack it for inspection.

Xu Che hurriedly reached out to block it, and whispered: "You don't have to shake out my underwear, so many people are watching!"

Mu Xun turned a deaf ear, still opened the baggage, and after a cursory glance, he found that in addition to some changes of clothes, there was actually a large bowl in his baggage, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and asked: "What are you doing with a bowl?" Could it be that he had the idea of asking for food?"

Xu Che scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I am used to eating with it every day, so I can be regarded as letting it accompany me on a long trip." ”

Mu Xun smiled helplessly, and asked again: "Are all the arrangements at home ready?"

Xu Che said: "I entrusted Chen Hao's mother to take care of it, it should be no problem." ”

Mu Xun said: "There just so happens that there is also a caravan going north here, so let's set off with them later." ”

While the two were talking, He Yaocheng had already walked over with a burly middle-aged man, and when the two of them approached, he introduced: "This is the leader of this caraver, named Wei Chonghai, you two can tell him if you have any needs on the road." He turned to Wei Chonghai and said, "This is my little brother Mu Xun, this is..." he looked at Xu Che and smiled.

Mu Xun took the call and introduced: "His name is Xu Che, he is my friend, and he will go to Gusu with me this time." ”

Xu Che also hurriedly greeted He and Wei.

Wei Chonghai said: "Nine of the ten days of our caravan will be spent sleeping in the open air, and we will definitely be fortunate on the way, and the two little brothers must be mentally prepared." ”

Mu Xun said: "What's the matter, since everyone can go, then we can naturally go." ”

Wei Chonghai laughed loudly and praised again and again.

He Yaocheng told Mu Xun again: "Brother Wei is his own brother, you can tell Brother Wei if you two have any needs on the way, and he will take care of you both." ”

Mu Xun clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you two big brothers, it's too late, just when I return to Kunming, I must invite the two of you to eat and drink to thank you." ”

Wei Chonghai and He Yaocheng said the same thing: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

The four of them gossiped a few more words, and a horseman stepped forward and said to He Yaocheng: "He Boss, the goods have been loaded, and the convoy can set off." ”

Then the three of them said goodbye to He Yaocheng, got into the convoy one by one, and began to walk in the direction of the city gate.

Wei Chonghai rode a red horse and walked first, followed by four people who also rode horses, and then there were carriages loaded with goods, a total of nine, on which sat a coachman and a guard, and the tenth car at the end was a passenger carriage with a canopy, which contained the miscellaneous goods needed on the trade road, and Mu Xun and Xu Che were sitting in this car.

The caravan marched slowly, and after about half a burnt of incense, it arrived at the gate of the city, and the carriage stopped, and Wei Chonghai and the other people on horseback also dismounted and were inspected.

Xu Che opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a group of well-armed messengers searching for the carriage one by one, he hurriedly retracted his head and asked worriedly: "We don't have a way out of the city, if these officials find the two of us, how should we say anything?"

Mu Xun didn't care, and said lazily: "What are you afraid of, with Brother Wei here, he will deal with it." Besides, even if we really ask, we will insist that we are the guy who delivered the goods together, can he still arrest us back to the government?"

Soon, the two errand officers found the last carriage, but before they could lift the curtain of the carriage, Wei Chonghai had already rushed over in time and said with a smile: "Two soldiers, this car is loaded with sundries of the brothers, and the pile is called a mess, I really don't dare to stain the eyes of the two soldiers." ”

When he said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and continued: "Don't dare to deceive the official, I did bring some private goods on this trip, but I must not show my white here, and I hope that the official will raise his noble hand and make it convenient." As he spoke, a money bag full of copper plates hung unconsciously on the waist of the leading officer.

The officer naturally noticed Wei Chonghai's small action, but he didn't look down to look at it, let alone reach out to touch it, but naturally changed the spear in his right hand to his left hand, and with just this one action, he skillfully blocked the money bag on his waist from outsiders, and then scolded and said: "There are more than a dozen caravans of all sizes in this city, but you are the most sloppy, you have to pay attention in the future!"

Wei Chonghai smiled and said yes again and again.

When the messengers got the benefit, they stopped talking too much, and immediately opened and closed the way, and the caravan went out of the city without any problems.
