Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

With the practice in recent years and the integration of what Ning Bai taught him, the internal force in his body is getting stronger and stronger. He really wants to find out his current strength.

Whether they are qualified enough to compete with people like Ning Bai.

Or whether he can fight Ning Bai for hundreds of rounds.

He feels that his internal strength has grown to a certain level now, and he desperately wants a big contest, even if it is to go to the battlefield...

Jin Qiu babbled for a while, seeing that Qin Juan stopped talking suddenly, it seemed that he was thinking about it, so he didn't dare to say any more.

Jin Qiu was called to pack his things, Qin Juan came back to straighten his saddle, his horse was frightened, and howled for a long time, he comforted the horse and stroked its head, at this moment he missed him a little bit My little white foal has grown taller and stronger after so long.

The steward of the caravan came over and said with a smile: "You horse is really interesting. I didn't see it scared when I killed it just now, but now I know it's scared."

Qin Juan was slightly startled, but suddenly, he also smiled.

This horse reacts slowly, I didn't notice it when I first bought it, but now I have a deep understanding.

"The robbers are gone, why are you yelling!" Qin Juan stroked its neck.

After reorganization, it was a bit difficult to start again. They didn't have enough horses to ride, so someone had to ride with them.

Jin Qiu and a hard worker rode camels together, and Qin Juan still walked ahead alone.

Because they were afraid that the robbers would come again, they were very vigilant at all times, and they met a few fleeing people in front of them within an hour.

Those people looked at them in shock, and they also looked at those people in shock. It took a long time before someone asked those people: "Did you also encounter robbers?"

Those people were silent for a while before nodding.

Qin Juan quickly asked, "When did you meet the robbers?"

Several people looked at their companions, and one of them replied: "In the evening."

In other words, these people encountered robbers earlier than them.

"Don't dare to go to Bancheng anymore, I heard that the robber's den is within the territory of Bancheng...

"How many people did you have before?"

After he asked such a question, those people all showed grief on their faces! "Thirty or so people... We are the only ones who died. We fought desperately..."

Hoarse, the speaker burst into tears.

The people in the caravan were also silent for a while. If they didn't scare away the robbers, they might end up like them.

Fortunately, they won.

"You, you?" Among the four people who fled, one of them noticed that something was wrong. This caravan seemed to have just fought with someone. Why?

"How many people are there?" It must be because of the large number of people that the robbers can be injured and come out alive...

"We had a fight with the robbers, and a few horses and hunchbacks were killed, but they were still the same people," said the caravan steward.

On the gray faces of those people, their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide, with an expression of disbelief.

Not long after, the four dismounted and walked towards the caravan: "Please take us in, brother!"

Having been robbed of a lot of money and materials by the robbers, all they have left is their lives and horses. It is difficult to go anywhere. It is better to rely on a little business acumen and continue to survive with a powerful caravan.

After hearing this, Qin Juan has figured it out, the robbers first robbed the caravan in front, and then came to rob them.

If the guess is correct, the robbers expected to go all the way to the direction of the small river that fetched water in the early morning.

Poison the small river first, pinch the time for the poison to plunder...

After those robbers succeeded in robbing a caravan, they rushed to rob them again, but unexpectedly bowed down at Qin Juan.

Walking out of this desert means that after three days, it is only half a day away from Bancheng.

Qin Juan told the steward of the caravan that there were robbers outside Bancheng, and they had better avoid them. He and Jiu Qin had encountered robbers when they entered Bancheng, so he avoided them when they left Bancheng a month ago. that area.

"Brothers naturally listen to you!" The manager showed great trust in Qin Juan.

Qin Juan nodded, this would save a lot of trouble.

Those who joined in later also discovered that this little brother's voice sounded young, but very prestigious.

There are many experienced people among them, and they all vaguely sensed that Qin Juan could not be an ordinary wanderer...

Rather like soldiers.

They all know it, they just don't know how to say it.

After all, they would rather be friends with Qin Juan than enemies.

And they don't even know how strong this boy is.

After Qin Juan saw the gate of Bancheng, he said goodbye to them.

Because he said goodbye so suddenly, the people in the caravan were all surprised.

The leader and the steward talked to him, and even thanked him with gold and silver.

Qin Juan did not accept it.

When Qin Juan turned around on his horse and was about to leave, Jin Qiu rushed out and shouted: "Brother!..."

He didn't want to follow Qin Juan, he didn't have the courage yet, and he knew that Qin Juan would not take him with him.

Qin Juan turned his head slightly, and smiled, "Live well."

He finished speaking and rode away.

Amidst the dust, Jin Qiu nodded with tears in his eyes: "En."

After entering the city, Qin Juan didn't know where to find Zhao Huaizhi, to Jiuqin's residence?Zhao Huaizhi should not be there.

Go to Gong Xiran's residence?Perhaps Zhao Huaizhi will settle down there...

Last time Gong Xiran told him, where is his mansion?

It seems to be in Qiu Changyuan.

There are really many gardens in this kind of city on an oasis in the desert, and there are castles one after another. There are also many places called gardens. After entering the city, I asked for directions in three languages ​​and did not ask where Qiu Changyuan was.

Qin Juan simply went to Jiuqin's residence to find Ada.

Seeing Qin Juan's return, Ada smiled and said, "Since the young master is back, he will stay at the mansion. I will inform my master tomorrow..."

"I'm bothering Ada. I came here to ask Ada where Gong Xiran lives." Qin Juan said.

Ada didn't expect that Qin Juan would suddenly ask Gong Xiran: "Qiu Changyuan Rice Grain Market, Mr. Gong is the only big rice merchant in Bancheng in private, although he is also a small official."

Rice market?In Qin Juan's memory, he passed by a rice grain market. Could it be that he missed it?

Qin Juan bared his teeth with some headaches, clasped his fists at Ada and said, "Ada, I'm going to find someone surnamed Gong first, and when Jiutan comes back, please say hello to him for me!"

"Hey..." Before Ada had time to say anything, Qin Juan had already rode away, "This kid...Mr. he."

Qin Juan walked along the route of the rice grain market that he passed through in his memory, and sure enough, he saw the earthen monument of Qiu Changyuan half an hour later.

The Gong Mansion on Qiu Changyuan is also very eye-catching. You can see the Han Mansion with wooden lanterns and two stone lions at a glance.

An old man came to open the door. Qin Juan spoke Chinese, but the old man didn't understand, Qin Juan changed to speak Chinese, and the old man shook his head.

After speaking Sanskrit, the old man still shook his head.

Qin Juan had nothing to say and wanted to go in, but the old man refused to let him.

Qin Juan had no choice but to shout: "Gong Xiran, come out to me!" "Who are you?" A woman's voice came.

Qin Juan squinted his eyes, stepped back unobtrusively, and distanced himself from the woman.

Qin Juan didn't understand Guo Bai's words, nor did he know what the woman said just now.

The woman looks similar to Guo Yaoren and Tianzhu people. He judged that she should not be Gong Xiran's wife.

Seeing that the old man respects this woman but has no fear at all, it is even more likely that she will not be the mistress of this Gong residence.

"Gong Xiran is a classmate of my friend, and I came to visit late at night, and I want to ask him where my friend is going." He said to the woman in a relatively blunt Tianzhu dialect.

The woman understood, and said lightly, "Then follow me in."

The old man went to lead Qin Juan's horse, and Qin Juan followed the woman in.

The woman said that Gong Xiran was leaving in the study, and she took him to the courtyard and asked him to wait there.

Qin Juan waited for a long time, and he almost thought that the woman was deliberately teasing him to make him wait.

Until Gong Xiran came out in a hurry, and bowed to Qin Juan: "Madam suddenly started to move, just sent the doctor away, it was my mother

That servant girl can't do anything, so I just let you wait. "

"Don't blame her." Qin Juan asked again after a pause, "Is Madam Ling okay?"

"It's all right, it's just that I was careless when walking today and almost fell, which scared me to death, but luckily I didn't fall... the one in my stomach is still safe." Gong Xiran said it's all right, but kept wiping his sweat.

Qin Juan knew that he was terrified.

When Gong Xiran led him into the study, a young servant came over and brought a pot of tea.

Gong Xiran poured him tea: "Brother Qin will be staying here tonight, and I've already asked someone to take care of it."

Qin Juan took his tea: "Of course, I have nowhere to go."

"..." Gong Xiran was silent for a moment and then laughed out loud, "Brother Qin, you are the most interesting, talking with you makes me feel a lot better."

"It can make you feel better, and it counts as my merit today." Qin Juan said lightly, and then asked, "Where is Zhao Huai?"

Gong Xiran hadn't been happy for a long time, but when Qin Juan mentioned Zhao Huaizhi, his expression suddenly changed.

The scene when Zhao Huaizhi laughed at him and Yan Yan said: My heart is happy...

For a moment, he didn't speak, and he didn't speak, and he was so entangled in his heart.

How could he get involved with these two people.

Thinking of him following the rules all his life, and doing his duty, how could he encounter such a thing as a man who likes a man!

He can't wait...I can't wait to go back to the Song Dynasty and go to the official family to apologize.

No way, that's not going to cause a storm all over the city. The whole Lin'an Prefecture knows that Zhao Huaizhi is majestic, his white clothes are stained with dust, and his reputation is damaged...

Even if he was killed, he couldn't tell the officials. Not only could he not say it, but he had to help hide it.

For a moment, Gong Xiran looked at Qin Juan, tears streaming down his face... As the eldest brother, he was moved to tears by his realization, and he really tried everything for the good of these two cubs.

But Qin Juan was confused by him, Gong Xiran's eyes and expression, could it be that he wants to tell him what's wrong with Huhu?
