In the Southern Han Dynasty, if you want to do business, coming to Xiangzhou City is the best choice. Because it has the most convenient transportation in the country, the largest number of merchants, and the largest commercial market. Here are nine provinces thoroughfare, extending in all directions, and caravans coming and going from all over the country have to stop here.

There is a lot of commodity circulation, so naturally someone needs to be responsible for escorting. If anyone wants to entrust something, it is natural to find a dart board. In this city of Xiangzhou, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people who eat this line of food.

There are five or six big dart games alone, not to mention countless other small dart games. To open a dart game here, you must not only have excellent strength, but also know how to maintain a relationship with customers, otherwise you will be robbed of guests by other dart games in minutes.

But Bai Li Yu didn't care about these at all, since he drove the dart game to this Xiangzhou City, he was like a bird flying out of the birdcage, without the strict supervision of his father, it was not just to do what he wanted.

Baili Dart Game was originally a time-honored brand, and it used to be a wealthy family in martial arts. It's just that time has changed, and there are not many people left who can still remember the prestige of the Baili family.

Therefore, the business of the dart board is not salty or light on weekdays, and occasionally takes on some work that other dart games are unwilling to take. Either it's a hard road, or it's a meagre profit.

The reality is always cruel, from the ambition at the beginning, to the gradual acceptance of the facts, Baili Xuan's enthusiasm has also been consumed.

However, the emperor gave such a large courtyard with four entrances, and personally inscribed a plaque, and this glory is probably the only one in the country.

"Young master, young master, look at what good things I brought back. Zheng Xiong walked in with a birdcage.

Baili Shu was crossing Erlang's legs, lying on the Taishi chair in the courtyard basking in the sun.

He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at them, and said angrily: "Isn't it just a bird, this big noon, disturbing my dreams." ”

"Hey, young master, this is not an ordinary bird, this bird is called the fairy eight-colored thrush, it is extremely rare, the color is bright, and the call is beautiful, which is at least five hundred taels of silver on the black market. Zheng Xiong carried the birdcage and said lovingly.

As soon as Baili heard this, he immediately came to his senses and jumped up from his chair.

"I said Uncle Zheng, where did you get such a little baby. Baili Shu leaned forward and asked while teasing the bird.

"Hehe, young master, didn't you help Bao Dating give the casino a while ago, he kept saying that he wanted to thank you. He usually keeps some birds, and when he happened to meet me today, he asked me to pick one and bring it back to you. Zheng Xiong replied.

"Hey, that's the matter, Bao Dating only owes them a few dozen taels of silver, and insists that he pay him back a thousand taels, for the sake of him also helping us inquire about a lot of news, I just taught those loan sharks a lesson. Bai Li said.

"By the way, Bao Dating told me a message that you must be interested. Zheng Xiong said mysteriously.

"What's the news, don't sell it. Bai Li asked him.

"Haha, it's about the other three young masters, I heard that they have made great contributions at the border and have been rewarded by the imperial court. Zheng Xiong said with a smile.

"Wow, that's great news. It's a pity that I'm not in Zhongjing City, otherwise I can celebrate with them. When Bai Li heard the news, he couldn't help but be happy for the rest of the people.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from the doorway.

"Haven't I come!"

Baili Yu looked up and saw that it was Yu Zhong.

"My God, which gust of wind blew Prince Yu here, shouldn't you be in Zhongjing City?" Bai Li Yu shouted in surprise.

"It's not that you don't know me, how can you be bound by officialdom if you yearn for the freedom of the rivers and lakes. Yu Zhong walked in.

"I'll just say, Huchen and Guiming have always been concerned about the court, how can you stay and be an official in peace. Baili said happily.

He had been in Xiangzhou City for a long time, and now he saw Yu Zhong, just like seeing his relatives, and he had to get drunk and rest when he said anything.

"Uncle Zheng, you put away the birds, and I'll go to the Crane Tower with Brother Yu to have a few drinks first. Baili Shu picked up the rest of his weight and walked out the door.

Crane Tower.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they were very happy and told each other about everyone's experience in the past six months.

Of course, Yu Chong's experience is much more exciting than Baili Shu. From Xijing to Jiangnan, from Jiangnan to Zhongjing, and then to the border of Beijing, the ups and downs of the story are heard with relish.

"Baili, how have you been for more than half a year. Yu Zhong asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, when I first arrived in Xiangzhou, I was ambitious and wanted to make a name for myself, but how could it be so easy. Baili Shu picked up a glass of wine and tilted his head down.

Yu Zhong could see that there should be a lot of helplessness and depression in Baili Shu's heart.

"It's okay, it's going to get better, I'm fine lately, I'm going to stay in Xiangzhou for a while, maybe I'll have to take me in, haha." Yu Zhong quipped.

"Haha, you just want to leave, I can't let you go. I don't have anything there, but there is no shortage of rooms, so you can live with confidence. Baili said with a smile.

When he heard about Jin Luoyi's final destination, Bai Liyu couldn't help but sigh. I remember that the scene of the three of them meeting for the first time in Shilipo is still in front of me.

"Don't be sad, life is not like this, when you are full of hope, it will give you a punch and wake you up. Baili Shu's words seem to be said to himself.

Wine is drunk by confidants, and poems are sung to people.

The two returned to the game and talked all night, and did not go to sleep until dawn.

The next day, Baili was woken up by the cry of the fairy eight-colored thrush, and when he went out, he saw that it was already three poles in the morning.

"Chief darthead, you can get up, there are distinguished guests in the lobby, Deputy Zheng Dart Head is receiving, send me to call you." "A dart master trotted all the way over.

Baili Yu hurriedly followed to the lobby, only to see Zheng Xiong talking to a high roller.

The high-roller looked to be in his forties, and behind him stood several big men who seemed to be not weak in martial arts.

"The head of the dart, this is the famous Meng Yuanwai in Xiangzhou City, he has a batch of goods that he wants to entrust to our dart bureau. Zheng Xiong got up and introduced.

"In Xia Meng Chaoxian, I have seen a hundred miles of dart. I have always heard people say that the young hero of Baili Dart has an extraordinary bearing, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name. Meng Yuanwai said politely.

"Baili Yu has seen Meng Yuanwai, please take a seat. Baili said pleasantly.

During the conversation, we learned that this batch of goods was to be sent to Jingjiang Prefecture and was worth a lot of money. Jingjiang Province is an important town on the southern border, but it is isolated by high mountains and the roads are dangerous, so few people go there. From Xiangzhou to Jingjiang Mansion, it can be said that the road is difficult, and the mountains and rivers are far away.

For Baili Shu, this is a rare order. It's a long way to go, but it's also a lot of money. Moreover, Meng Yuanwai is a well-known rich man in Xiangzhou City, and his family has a lot of property, if he can make friends with him, he will not worry about future orders.

"So do you plan to go to this order in person?" Yu Zhong asked after listening to Baili Yu's enthusiastic narration.

"That's nature, the terrain is complicated and the climate is changeable, after all, Deputy Zheng is also old, and it is time for me to take on the heavy responsibility. Baili replied.

"Well, it's a good thing, but I'm wondering why there are so many dart games in the city, and this Meng Yuanwai just found you. Yu Zhong said.

"You, you just always think too much, haha, business is on the door, you can't push it out. Presumably, the distance is too difficult and the business of other dart games is too good to spare manpower. Baili said with a smile.

"I hope so, but I'm a little worried about you going on the road alone, so why don't I go with you. If it goes well, it will be regarded as a play, I heard that Jingjiang Mansion is isolated from the world, the scenery is pleasant, and it is a good place to go. Yu Zhong said.

Baili Shu heard that Yu Zhong also intended to go with him, and nodded happily in agreement, at least the two brothers would not be bored on the road together. He has always been an optimist, without any scheming.

Yu Zhong faintly felt that this trip might not be too easy.

The team is scheduled to leave in two days, and there is still a lot of preparation to be made before then.

The first step is to determine the route, set a specific schedule, and have a contingency plan for various unexpected situations.

Then it's time to prepare the supplies that the dart team will consume along the way. Although the Central Plains region has entered winter, Jingjiang Mansion is located in the south, the weather is hot and humid, and the four seasons are like spring, so you still need to prepare some cool clothes.

In this mountain and dense forest, drugs to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants are also essential. There are also some other items that need to be prepared.

Looking at the list of items prepared by Yu Zheng, Bai Li Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master Yu's heart is really fine, the list you gave is not much different from what Deputy Zheng just sent someone." ”

"It's a good idea to go out on a long journey, so it's always right to be more prepared. Yu replied.

"It's just that why did you ask me to bring this fairy eight-colored thrush?" Baili said puzzled.

"There are many miasma in the south, I have seen from the classics that the habitat of the fairy eight-colored thrush is in the south, and it is the most sensitive to miasma, and local hunters will keep one with them to warn. Moreover, the fairy eight-colored thrush feeds on centipedes and other poisonous insects on weekdays, and it can also prevent insects when carried around. Yu replied.

Baili suddenly realized, as if he had obtained a treasure, he held the fairy eight-colored thrush in the birdcage and said: "My little ancestor, it turns out that you are so powerful, then you have to provide for you well all the way, you must not die." ”

This is also the first trip to the big dart since the opening of the Baili Dart Bureau in Xiangzhou City. In order to promote his dart game, Bai Li Yu also carefully dressed up the dart car.

Yu Zhong also sneered when he saw it: "I said Baili, you painted such a bright color on the dart car, is it because you are afraid that others will not come to rob you?"

"Haha, wouldn't it be better if there was really a thief to rob him, I would beat him all over the ground, so as to make a name for himself and establish a million. Baili said confidently.
