Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The situation inside the pass was not good, and the situation outside the pass was not much better. Gaochang was destroyed because of his collusion with the Turks, disrespectful to the emperor and Jin, and cut off the tribute.

It can be seen from this that there is a considerable force in the branch of the Turks who fled in the Western Regions.

The countries in the Western Regions were not very obedient to the Great Jin, but they had to surrender because of the might of the Great Jin and the emperor. Once bad news of the emperor came out, these people would react.

In this regard, General Meng said very rudely: "These people are mothers if they have milk. When your Majesty is good, you cry out for money, and the court gives money and food to help them, but if your Majesty is not good, others will just provoke a word or two, They made a noise, and all the previous affection and sweetness turned into false feelings."

"The rumor of smallpox is still undecided, but the news that the situation in Xiazhou has improved should soon spread among the people," General Meng was more frank than Inspector He on this point, he said directly: "We will send troops in a month. To pacify the bandits all the way to Suzhou, the horse thieves outside the customs will be deterred to some extent, it will take about two or three months, and you will leave the customs at that time.”

He paused and said, "It's just that the weather will be getting colder by then. You have to hurry up to reach the Western Regions before the heavy snow blocks the road."

Man Bao counted the time and frowned slightly.

There is nothing here that makes them interested in staying. Even if they are resting, they must be interested to be happy. Otherwise, it would be too boring to stay in one place for two or three months just to stay.

Man Bao and Bai Shan couldn't help but look at Mr. Zhuang and Nie Jianjun.

Nie Canjun is responsible for protecting their safety, but he also needs to consider efficiency, so he doesn't want to stay here, otherwise he seems too incompetent.

Mr. Zhuang was also hesitant, he could see that Bai Shan and the others didn't really want to stay here for too long, but he didn't really want to take such a risk.

Bai Shan and Man Bao, who cherished their lives, hesitated because of this.

They asked General Meng, "Is there no other way but to wait?"

"Yes," General Meng said, "Fortunately, although there are fewer businessmen arriving at Yumen Pass now, it is not that they are not. They are lucky or strong, and they have not encountered horse thieves."

When Man Bao heard this, he became energetic, and said reservedly, "Actually, we are also lucky."

Bai Shan also nodded repeatedly, glanced at Man Bao and said, "Man Bao is the most blessed, this should be no problem."

Bai Erlang took it seriously. After all, she has the name of the reincarnation of a fairy, which shows her luck.

Nie Canjun immediately said: "Our strength is not bad."

Not to mention the guards of the Bai family and the Yin family, he only brought a hundred people under him, and the average horse thief may not have so many people.

It's just that they are defensive, and the other party is rushing, so the other party is taking advantage of it.

Nie Canjun thought of something, and leaned into Bai Shan's ear and whispered, "Master Bai, maybe you can ask Da Yu and the others to walk along for a while."

it's the money...

Nie Canjun looked at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan also remembered that if it was true what the governor and the others said, there were many forces in the desert who wanted to loot, then if it wasn't luck for them to come here safely, it was because of their leadership and existence.

There is always a bit of face and jealousy between horse thieves and horse thieves, and so many of them are not decorations.

Bai Shan thought about it, and after he went back, he asked five people to discuss, "Do you want to pay more and ask them to come with us?"

Man Bao and Bai Erlang are used to it, and even if they feel distressed about money, they feel that life is the most important thing.

On the contrary, Liu Huan hesitated, "That will cost a lot of money, right? I think we have enough people, maybe we can't use twenty of them?"

"Maybe it's useful?" Bai Erlang said, "I don't feel bad about money, why do you feel bad about it?"

Liu Huan glanced at him and said, "Am I simply distressed about money? I don't think it's worth it. It's not worth paying too much for a small risk."

After all, he is the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing. Even if he is a bit of a dude, he will weigh these things up.

Bai Erlang said: "That's not good, it's fine if there is no risk. Since we know there is a risk, how can we not prepare? My parents only have my youngest son, and I am only married. I haven't gotten married yet, so I can't hurt Mingda. Princess."

Bai Shan nodded in agreement, "My father and mother have only one son. What if my grandmother and mother die? And Man Bao is also there, so if something happens to the two of us, we will be the two of us."

Man Bao nodded again and again, "It's just money, you can still earn it if you don't have it. The jewelry we distributed last time was worth a lot of money. Just take out two of them, and when you get back to the capital, you will earn the money for inviting people."

Yin or someone who doesn't love money, his view of life is actually not as cautious as Bai Shan and the others, but he wants to go to the Western Regions to see. If so, he has to live, so he also nodded, "Please."

Zhou Liru naturally followed her sister-in-law. She said, "The loot I shared last time... There are two good pieces of cloth in the trophy. When the Western Regions take action, it will be enough for me, right?"

Man Bao nodded and said, "Enough, enough, let's go, let's talk to them."

The people who came from the town are the ones who are in charge of the heavy rain. As soon as he heard that Zhou Man and the others were willing to pay two hundred taels and then hire them to accompany them to the Western Regions, he subconsciously bargained, "That's not good. Going to the Western Regions is farther than coming from the town, at least three. One hundred taels."

Man Bao: "...This time we speed up and don't make more stops on the road. If the weather is good for about 20 days, we will arrive, which is only a few days longer than this time."

Just look at her in the heavy rain, is it their fault for the long journey this time?

It's not that you stop and go, so you have to look at it out of curiosity, and you have to take a look at it out of curiosity.

Man Bao also seemed to be at a loss, so he turned the topic back with a light cough, "It's cheaper, this time we have a limited time, and we will reach our destination within a month if there are no accidents."

"What is an accident?"

Man Bao enumerated: "For example, when we meet a horse thief, for example, someone in our team is sick and has to stop, or when we encounter a storm. Anyway, it is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, and it is not our will."

Hearing the heavy rain, he immediately said: "That's even more expensive, you don't know, this Western Region is not the same as ours, not only the weather is different, but the food is also different, it is easy for people to be unaccustomed to the soil and water, Imperial Physician Zhou, you are so soft-hearted. , if a person is sick, he has to stop, how much time will we have to delay? Just three hundred taels, I won't ask you more."

He said: "It depends on our friendship, otherwise the silver taels of other caravans can't ask us."

Bai Shan asked, "Do you want to bring goods to the Western Regions?"

Heavy rain's eyes are a little erratic.

Bai Shandao: "If you bring goods, I can introduce you to Master You."

Just as he was about to negotiate the price, he went to Mr. You's heavy rain: ...

In the end, the two parties made a deal at a price of two hundred and sixty taels.

When the heavy rain sends people out, I always feel that I am at a loss, but I have already responded, and I can't regret it.

See you tomorrow
