Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 83 Unpredictable
To the northwest of Guangling, Ye Xiao and Lu Qiling rode away side by side.

The five thousand infantry behind them hurried on in silence.

Everyone packed lightly and only brought enough fresh water to get to the next supply point.

Along the way, according to Ye Xiao's request, Zeng Hu worked hard to transport a boatload of military rations to the corresponding location.

Ye Xiaojun, who has no worries about the later stage, has the ultimate mobility.

In the state of forced march, Ye Xiao restricted the troops to join the vanguard Liao Hua within seven days to complete the preparations for the ambush plan.

"Report! A convoy appears ahead. It is initially confirmed to be a caravan transport vehicle."

Ye Xiao and Lu Qiling looked at each other, the time and place of this convoy appearing were not quite right.

Ye Xiao chose the route after careful consideration, choosing the most suitable one between concealment and distance.

"Go! Go and see."

Ye Xiao immediately stepped forward, and Lu Qiling quickly followed with dozens of guards.

A mile away, five carriages came slowly, carrying bulging goods.

The sound of horseshoes and footsteps coming in a hurry made the team leader a little flustered, thinking that there were robbers coming.

Until Ye Xiao's figure appeared, dozens of uniformed soldiers galloped forward.

The caravan leader was a middle-aged man, his eyes flashed, and then he lowered his head and regained his flustered expression.

"Who's in front? Stop!" the guard Dubo looked at the caravan vigilantly and shouted loudly.

The motorcade stopped at the sound, and the servants who didn't know what was going on were shouting uneasily.

Two big-armed guards came out to see Ye Xiao's lineup, and hurriedly retreated to the caravan leader's side in embarrassment.

The caravan leader trotted up to Ye Xiao with a nervous face.

"Master! What are your orders?"

The guard Du Bo stopped in front of the merchant leader, looked at the other party carefully and asked.

"The general just said, who are you? Why are you here?"

The merchant leader wiped the sweat off his face and replied, "Master Jun, we are the caravan of the Lu family in Jiangdong, transporting supplies to Beihai for trade."

When Ye Xiao heard about the Lu family, he immediately became interested.

"The Lu family? What kind of goods are you pulling? How do you go to Beihai this way? I remember, isn't it faster to take Donghai to the north?"

Ye Xiao stood up, and the guard Du Bo hurriedly stepped aside and looked at the other party cautiously, fearing that the leader would make any changes, he immediately drew his knife and slashed at him.

Seeing Ye Xiao's question hit the nail on the head, the business leader became nervous. Fortunately, he had already prepared a plan to deal with this situation.

"This general! The cart is full of cotton cloth and seeds! By the way, there is also a cart of iron farm tools. Our boss said that these goods will be profitable in Beihai after the spring."

Ye Xiao winked at Lu Qiling, Lu Qiling nodded and drove the horse over.

There are only five vehicles in the convoy, and the goods on it are no doubt what the team leader said.

After Lu Qiling finished checking, she stepped back and nodded to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao suddenly smiled: "Yes, it seems that there is no problem."

The caravan leader quickly nodded and said, "Master Jun, can we go?"

Ye Xiao looked into each other's eyes calmly, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Not yet!" Ye Xiao's eyes fell on the crowd in the motorcade, and he suddenly noticed that one of the servants was trembling slightly.

"come here!"

Ye Xiao pointed out.

The boy was shocked, and was immediately dragged by the guards to Ye Xiao.

"Master Jun, please forgive me! Please forgive me!" the boy cried out, "My old father still expects me to get married and carry on the family line."

Ye Xiao frowned, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

"Tell me! Why are you so nervous! Is there some conspiracy that I'm afraid the general will know about?"

The business leader silently gestured and knelt down in front of Ye Xiao.

"We are all good citizens! Don't dare to have any conspiracy!"

"Yeah! It's not that the grown-ups are nervous, the little ones should be damned, it's just that they've been urinating just now, so... ah!"

The boy lowered his head in shame, and slowly water stains filled his crotch clothes, accompanied by a stench.

Ye Xiao couldn't help pulling Lu Qiling back a step.

The couple looked at each other, and Ye Xiao immediately understood what Lu Qiling meant as they understood each other more and more.

"Let's go, pay attention to get out of the way, our army is marching in a hurry. In addition, if our army's whereabouts are reported, no matter what, I, Ye Xiao, and your Lu family will fight to the end!"

The leader of the businessman was secretly startled, and he pulled the frightened young man to bow to him, and then he promised.

"General! We dare not speak out even if we are killed."

Ye Xiao cast a glance at them, and drove the horse forward.

"Don't dare to measure you! Pass the order and continue to speed up through this place!"

"It's the general!"

The businessman led the team back to the car and directed the people to get out of the way quickly.

A dozen people just lowered their heads like this, leaning against the other side of the convoy, watching Ye Xiao's 5000 people pass by quickly.

It wasn't until the entire army disappeared and no voice could be heard that the leader let out a heavy breath.

He secretly tore off a piece of cotton padded jacket in the car, and secretly wrote down the information he had just seen with charcoal.

When no one was paying attention, he threw it aside into the grass and made an inconspicuous mark next to it.

"Okay, get up for me! Hurry up!"

The merchant leader shouted, and nodded secretly with the two servants in the team.

Soon the convoy set off again.

After a long time, a thin and vigorous figure appeared in the grass.

After rummaging through, he picked up the cloth strip of the merchant leader, looked at it, carefully put it close to his body, and left quietly.

Ye Xiao was walking in front of the team, always feeling like he missed something, and seemed a little distracted.

"Husband, are you still worried about that caravan?"

Lu Qiling looked at Ye Xiao with caring eyes, which moved Ye Xiao a little. Only people who stick together like this can always pay attention to themselves.

"Ma'am, I'm fine. Now my husband is thinking about the matter of tens of thousands of lives, which cannot be ignored, so the pressure is a bit high."

Lu Qiling gave Ye Xiao an encouraging look, showing a beautiful smile.

"My husband, I believe in you. Whether it is when our food crisis in Xiapi City or when we are surrounded by Cao Cao's soldiers, I believe that you, my husband, can turn the tide. I don't think there will be any exception this time."

As Lu Qiling spoke, her face revealed an expression of admiration and trust.

Ye Xiao was shocked, he didn't expect Lu Qiling to trust him so much.

And since Ye Xiao became the protagonist, it was the first time that he felt that his words and deeds could have such a great influence on the people around him.

"At least I'm not like Cao Cao, who would rather kill a thousand mistakes than let one go!"

"As long as I have no regrets in my heart, even if the caravan has secrets, I, Ye Xiao, stand upright, and I am not afraid of your flood."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, regained his previous self-confidence in a blink of an eye, and stretched out his hand to straighten the strap of Lu Qiling's helmet.

"Don't worry, my husband is here. Soldiers will block you, and water will cover you!"

Lu Qiling responded with a graceful smile, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she quickly staggered half of her body to avoid the embarrassment of being seen by the soldiers behind her.

Ye Xiao smiled casually, and waved his hand in front of him.

"go ahead!"
