"Who is in charge of Xi Daying now?" Rong Zhuo asked the head.

"Your Majesty sent a general here earlier, but it was only as an assistant. Now the camp is in charge of General Liu and General Du."

After hearing the words, Rong Zhuo thought for a while, and then he had an idea in his mind.

"Master, please tell the two generals after you go back, and say..." Rong Zhuo hesitated for a while, "Just say that I will take the people of His Royal Highness to visit the camp tomorrow, and don't mention it to them. My real purpose for coming to Yuzhou this time."

"It's easy to say." The head of the family hurriedly said.

"By the way, is the boss still used to being in the camp?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"Thanks to Shaodong's family and Brother Qi, I can now be regarded as a person who is paid by the army." The head of the family said: "General Du takes good care of me, he is not demanding on everything, and only allows me to concentrate on studying the art of mechanism. We The original brothers in the village were also recruited, and they took the lead to open a field around the camp, planted some melons and fruits, and raised some poultry, and lived more comfortably than before."

Rong Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Then I heard that the head of the family said again: "We also set up a house in the village near Daying, and placed all the old and weak women and children in the cottage there. General Du's good friend was also placed in the village. Everyone takes care of me on weekdays.”

"Where's Meng Fanqing?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"He's fine too. We'll be able to see him when the Young Master goes to the camp tomorrow."

Rong Zhuo heard that everyone's life was gradually getting on the right track, and was sincerely happy for them.

"How are you and brother Qi?" The head of the family glanced at Xing Chong who was standing by the door, "Why did the guards around him change?"

Rong Zhuo smiled a little embarrassedly, then picked up the jade pendant hanging from his waist and gestured to him.

The eldest master understood the jade pendant when he saw it, smiled at him, and didn't say much.

The two chatted some more gossip, Rong Zhuo stayed him for dinner at the trading house, and then let him go back to the camp.

"Master is going to Xidaying tomorrow?" Xing Chong asked Rong Zhuo after seeing off the master.

"We're just passing by to have a look. There should be enough time." Rong Zhuo said, "Didn't we already talk to the people from the pharmacy today? Tomorrow morning, let the people from the business do the rest for me, right and left. There is nothing to worry about on your own."

Rong Zhuo has already visited the pharmacy in Yuzhou today. It is similar to the Song family pharmacy in the capital city. There are also some commonly used prescriptions of patented medicines, but because the common people rarely use patented medicines, there are not many of them in stock.

Rong Zhuo ordered a batch of medicine for treating stomach and intestines from the largest medicine store in Yuzhou, and agreed that after the medicine was ready, it would be sent to Beijiang by the Duan family's caravan.Tomorrow, he originally planned to take Xing Chong and the others together to go through all the pharmacies in Yuzhou, search for all the existing related patent medicines, and take them away first for emergency.

But if you think about it carefully, it's okay to entrust this matter to the people in the commercial bank.

In this way, Rong Zhuo can go to Xi Daying early in the morning, and then let the people in the business company send the collected medicines out of the city at the agreed time. After Rong Zhuo comes out of Xi Daying, he can join them, not at all. hold up.

"By the way, Xing Chong." Rong Zhuo asked him: "Do you have any tokens related to His Royal Highness?"

Xing Chong was taken aback, and asked, "What does the boss want to do?"

"I'm going to Xi Daying tomorrow, I want to see if there are any good things to go along with." Rong Zhuo said: "But my name is not right, I'm afraid they won't buy it."

Xing Chong said: "When His Highness asked me to join the firm, all connections with him have been erased, so I have no tokens here. However, General Liu of Xi Daying is His Highness's person, I think...he dare not deny it. Buy the owner's account."

"Then follow me tomorrow. If he doesn't buy it, you can scare him for me." Rong Zhuo said.

Xing Chong hurriedly responded when he heard the words.

That night, Rong Zhuo went to find the manager of the commercial firm and entrusted them with tomorrow's affairs.

The steward naturally obeyed Rong Zhuo's words, so he agreed quickly.

The next day, Rong Zhuo took Xing Chong and two other guards to the West Camp.

After arriving at the place, Rong Zhuo realized that he was completely worrying too much.

Because Liu Shuhuai heard that Rong Zhuo was coming, he personally brought people to the gate of the camp to greet him.He has always known Yu Jingdu's identity, and he has guessed the relationship between Rong Zhuo and Yu Jingdu to some extent, so he naturally dare not neglect Rong Zhuo.

Even after Du Xing learned that Rong Zhuo was coming, he deliberately came back from the martial arts arena.

After exchanging pleasantries, Rong Zhuo bluntly said to Liu Shuhuai: "General Liu is familiar with His Royal Highness, so you should know that His Highness has always been interested in organ techniques, right?" It’s something, I’m here to take a look for His Royal Highness.”

It's rare for Rong Zhuo to use Jingdu to suppress others, so he feels somewhat guilty.

He had never dealt with these people alone, and he always felt that with his thin face, it would be difficult to speak in front of Liu Shuhuai.Doesn't Liu Shuhuai know that Liu Shuhuai is a smart person, he knows very well that offending Rong Zhuo may be more difficult to end than offending the present prince, so even if Rong Zhuo doesn't mention Yu Jingdu to him, he will never make Rong Zhuo unhappy.

When Rong Zhuo proposed to look at the master's organ skills, Liu Shuhuai immediately ordered someone to prepare.

Not long after, Rong Zhuo was brought to the martial arts arena.

"This is a trebuchet. Four people cooperate to operate it. It can be thrown more than 200 meters away." The leader Chao Rongzhuo introduced one by one: "This is a Liannu. I learned it from a book. After improvement, it can be fired at one time Ten arrows..."

Most of the things made by the big master were not invented by him, but they were only read from books and made by themselves.Most of these things flourished for a while when they were first invented, but later due to various reasons, most of them were lost.

For those who have not studied the art of mechanism, even according to the records in the book, it is difficult to make it.

Being the master is because I like it, and because I have encountered expert advice, I can achieve success.

"What noise did I hear when I met you yesterday?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"That's an earthen cannon made by me after improving the fireworks." The head of the family said: "It's quite loud, and it can hurt people even if it's close."

Rong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, thinking that this is a good thing.

In fact, in this era, gunpowder is not a rare item, but it has not been widely used in military affairs.

And the master happened to be obsessed with this technique, so naturally he had to put some thought into it.

"Interesting." Rong Zhuo said: "If you get these things to the border, you can just try to see if they are suitable for use."

In fact, Rong Zhuo didn't know much about the battle at the border, and he wasn't sure whether these things could help Yu Jingdu, but he felt that it wouldn't hurt to recruit a talent like the head of the family.

"Okay!" The boss immediately became interested, "Why don't I make a batch, and the young boss will ask the people from the trading company to help transport it to Beijiang and send it to His Royal Highness, and it will be assumed that we, Xi Daying, will also do our part for the border. "

"It's a good idea. I think His Royal Highness will be happy if he sees this thing. Light this earthen cannon and blow it up. Even if it doesn't kill a few people, it's good to frighten them." Rong Zhuo said: "But there is one The problem is that the long-distance transportation of this thing is too dangerous, if there is a collision along the way, the driver and horse responsible for the delivery will be miserable."

The head of the family said: "That's true. When I try this thing, I have to find a place far away from the camp, just because I'm afraid of mistakes."

If not, he would not have met Rong Zhuo by chance yesterday, and even surprised Rong Zhuo's horse.

"General Liu?" Rong Zhuo said to Liu Shuhuai: "Your West camp is not fighting now, why don't you lend us the leader for a while? If he can help you at the border, our camp will also make meritorious service, right? "

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Liu Shuhuai would not agree, and said again: "I didn't ask for this person myself, but for His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is now fighting for the country at the border, throwing our heads and blood, we should plan for him , you think so, General Liu?"

"Yes, what the Shaodong family said is very true." Liu Shuhuai said.

Rong Zhuo was startled, "You...you agreed?"

"Yes." Liu Shuhuai looked at Du Xing, "General Du has no objection?"

"No, no, don't talk about Chu Dong, I want to go to the border with you!" Du Xing said, the Chu Dong he was talking about was the master.

Rong Zhuo didn't expect them to agree so quickly, and the rest of his impassioned persuasion could only be suppressed, and he was embarrassed.

"Chu Dong brought a few apprentices who worked with him as agencies in the camp. I would have given them to the young master." Liu Shuhuai said: "There are also things they need to use as agencies. If they are convenient to carry, they are all Take it with you."

Rong Zhuo: ...

Good guy, this Liu Shuhuai is really generous.

"How long will Young Master's family stay in Yuzhou?" Liu Shuhuai asked.

"Uh... let's go today." Rong Zhuo said: "We are in a hurry."

Liu Shuhuai didn't talk nonsense when he heard the words, and immediately ordered the head of the family to take people to pack their things, and let them set off with Rong Zhuo today.The head of the family glanced at Rong Zhuo, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he took his orders.

Rong Zhuo could tell what he was thinking by looking at his eyes, and said to Liu Shuhuai, "General Liu, there is one more person..."

"If you have any other requests from the Shaodong family, just ask them together." Liu Shuhuai said.

Hearing that he is so generous, Rong Zhuo wished he could bring the entire Xi Daying camp to Yu Jingdu.

It's a pity that he still has reason and knows enough is enough.

People in the army are always quick to do things, but at noon, the head of the family packed up everything, including his own luggage, and the things he needs to use when making organs.In addition, besides himself, he also brought twelve sons with him. It is said that all of them are dexterous, and these people will follow him when he is working on organs on weekdays, they can be regarded as the apprentices he brought out.

"General Liu, if I take these people away, nothing will go wrong, right? What if something happens..."

"Don't worry, Young Master." Liu Shuhuai said: "At that time, I will mark it in the military newspaper, saying that Xi Daying sent people to the border by themselves, and no one will find out what to do."

Rong Zhuo was relieved when he heard this.

It was only later that he realized that maybe Liu Shuhuai had long thought of sending someone to Yu Jingdu, but he never found the right time.It just so happened that Rong Zhuo's arrival contributed to this matter, which saved Liu Shuhuai from looking for another chance.

"Young master's family." The head of the family, Chu Dong, said to Rong Zhuo when there was no one else: "I have a merciless request."

"You want to say Meng Fanqing?" Rong Zhuo said, "You are going to the border now, not on a trip, so it's inappropriate to take him with you."

The head of the family's eyes darkened when he heard the words, "I know that I am a member of the army now, and I shouldn't be emotional."

"En." Rong Zhuo raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't it just a few months apart? Even if the war is stalemate, it will only last a year at most, and it will pass quickly. Look at me and Qi Huwei. Aren't they separated too? Right!"

"Young master is right." The master thought for a while and said: "Then before we leave, can you allow me to say goodbye to him?"

"Why don't you say goodbye, what if you are reluctant to leave after seeing him?" Rong Zhuo said.

The head of the family was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Rong Zhuo with some surprise.

Based on his understanding of this young master, the other party is definitely not so unreasonable.

So... the young master is teasing him?

Chu Dong finally came to his senses, turned his head suddenly, and saw Meng Fanqing walking towards the two of them with a bundle.

"I didn't discuss this matter with you, because I think he's not too young, and he should be allowed to make his own decisions." Rong Zhuo smiled, "I hope you don't think I'm making my own decisions."

"Of course not." Chu Dong bowed to Rong Zhuo, "Young master has a heart."

Rong Zhuo didn't say anything more to him, and went to talk to Liu Shuhuai for a few more words, and then he was about to leave.

He dug someone from Xidaying, somewhat guilty, afraid that Liu Shuhuai would regret it if he walked too slowly.

Liu Shuhuai was open-minded. He not only brought them enough dry food and money, but also asked someone to pick a dozen good horses.

Rong Zhuo led people out from Xi Daying, and when they arrived at the agreed place, the people from Duan's firm were already waiting there.This time they collected not too many patented medicines, Rong Zhuo simply asked someone to pack the medicines, each of them carried a copy, and did not ask the carriage to deliver it, so as not to waste time.

In this way, they hurried all the way, and rushed back to the station after nightfall.

The guys who were sick before, after two days of recuperation, are almost better now.

Rong Zhuo asked Dr. Lin to check them again, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he decided to set off early the next morning to catch up with the caravan ahead.

Since the caravans have horse-drawn carriages, they travel at a slightly slower speed.

Rong Zhuo and the others chased for about four or five days, and then joined the caravan.

After riding a horse for a few days, the guys have nothing to do. They are all from the army and can handle it.Rong Zhuo couldn't do it anymore. Although he had practiced horse riding before, it was the first time he had been running around for so long.

By the day when everyone gathered, his legs had already been worn out.

During the day, he could still bear it, but after taking a bath that night, he frowned in pain.

"If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let you go to Yuzhou." Jin Douzi said distressedly: "The left and right are just medicines for the stomach. We can buy them when we get to Beijiang. Why do you bother yourself so much?"

Rong Zhuo explained to him while applying the medicine on himself: "We can't go to Beijiang to buy medicine, because there are so many soldiers in the North, and if we suddenly buy so much medicine, it will affect the lives of the people. Moreover, Beijiang is located in a remote place, and the merchants who come and go There are so few teams, they don’t even have enough for themselves.”

But Yuzhou is different. The transportation here is convenient and there are many caravans coming and going. Moreover, if Rong Zhuo customizes medicines here, he can entrust people from Duan's firm to follow up and deliver them. This is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Besides, if I don't make this trip, I won't be able to abduct the boss and the others." Rong Zhuo said with a smile.

With a heavy hand, he accidentally hurt the wound, and immediately he groaned in pain.

"I'll come, my lord." Jin Douzi stepped forward to take the medicine.

Rong Zhuo blocked it with his skill, "I'd better do it myself."

"This place is so strangely wounded that you can't even see it clearly," Jin Douzi said.

"It's okay, I'll figure it out myself." Rong Zhuo said, "Help me get some more food, I'm hungry again."

It's not that he and Jin Douzi are aliens, if it was in the past, it would be fine, now that he is with Yu Jingdu, he must be careful about these details, and can no longer be inseparable from Jin Douzi.

Jin Douzi went to the kitchen and came back with a bowl of noodles after a while.

Rong Zhuo had finished taking the medicine, and he just stood by the table with his legs crossed, eating a bowl of noodles.

Jin Douzi stood watching and suddenly felt a sore nose.

Their young master used to be pampered and pampered, where did he suffer such hardship?

Moreover, the cook of the post house had a rest, he cooked this bowl of noodles, it might not taste very good, but his young master was not picky at all, so he ate it all in one go.

"You..." Rong Zhuo raised his eyes to see his red eyes, and asked, "You want to eat too? Tell me earlier, I'll save half for you."

"I won't eat, I'm full for dinner." Jin Douzi sniffed, quickly restrained his emotions, and changed the subject: "My lord, it will be your birthday in half a month."

"Yes." Rong Zhuo couldn't help but think of what Yu Jingdu said to him before, when they were still in the capital, Yu Jingdu said to him that he would give him a birthday gift when he was born.

At that time, Rong Zhuo wondered whether this birthday gift would be similar to the one he gave to the other party.

But thinking about it now, everything that should have happened between them has happened, at least in this regard, Yu Jingdu shouldn't be able to give him any surprises, unless Yu Jingdu can let him bully him.

But Rong Zhuo made up for the scene, a little bit unacceptable that he bullied Jing Du.

He has a gentle temperament and no desire to conquer, and he is very satisfied with the current model between himself and Yu Jingdu.

In that case, what gift can Yu Jingdu give him?

"I asked Uncle Lu today, and he said that if we go well, we should be able to reach Beijiang before your birthday." Jin Douzi seemed to have read his mind, "In this way, on your birthday, you can see the prince Your Highness."

Rong Zhuo blushed, "We're going to do business, and I didn't go to see him."

"Then I'll tell Old Uncle Lu to start walking slowly tomorrow, so as not to be too hasty and tired." Jin Douzi said.

"You kid is promising now, you dare to tease me?" Rong Zhuo said with a smile.

When Jin Douzi saw that he was smiling, he took the bowl away and disappeared in a flash.

When he came back from washing the dishes, he found Rong Zhuo lying on the couch and falling asleep.

Jin Douzi stood by and played a cattail fan to help him drive away the mosquitoes for a while, and he went to sleep after Rong Zhuo fell asleep.

In the following days, Rong Zhuo did not dare to ride a horse again.

In this kind of matter, he doesn't need to be brave, besides, the most indispensable thing in the caravan is the carriage.

I don't know if it's because of their large number or because of good luck. They hardly encountered any setbacks along the way, and they arrived in Beijiang smoothly.

The fly in the ointment is that there was a rain in the first few days, which delayed the trip for a day or two.

So in the first two days when they approached Beijiang, Rong Zhuo's birthday was over.

Jin Douzi wanted to help him celebrate that day, but was stopped by Rong Zhuo.

There are so many people in their caravan, and it takes two or three months to go back and forth. There should be quite a few people celebrating their birthdays, so he doesn't want to be special.

But if everyone has to make arrangements for their birthdays, then they don't have to go all the way.

In the end, Jin Douzi secretly asked the kitchen of the inn to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Rong Zhuo, and Rong Zhuo couldn't sleep well that night.

On the day of arriving in Beijiang, Rong Zhuo did not directly bring the caravan into the city, but waited at the post outside the city, and asked Xing Chong to send someone to Daying to inform him.

There is still some distance from the post house outside the city to the camp of the Northern Army, and it would take half a day to go back and forth quickly.

Rong Zhuo waited anxiously, and in order to relieve his anxiety, he took Jindouzi into Beijiang City.

Beijiang City is more lively than Rong Zhuo imagined.

However, because it is close to the northern border, the customs and customs in the city are very different from those in the capital.

"My lord, do you want to try the dim sum here?" Jin Douzi asked Rong Zhuo.

"Ah?" Rong Zhuo was obviously distracted just now, and was startled when he heard the words, "What?"

Jin Douzi said helplessly: "All of you have arrived in Beijiang, and you should see each other before dusk today... Who is that? Why are you still so desperate?"

"Nonsense." Rong Zhuo said: "I just rushed all the way, today I finally feel relieved, I feel a little uncomfortable."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Jindouzi and greeted Xing Chong and the other two guards who were following behind, and ordered a few bowls of noodles from the noodle stall by the roadside.

The noodle stall owner saw that they were not dressed like locals, so he chatted with them.

After learning that Rong Zhuo and the others were members of the caravan, he added an egg to their empty noodles.

"There are frequent battles in Beijiang, and no caravan is willing to come for a long time." The boss sighed: "I think the young master is young, but I didn't expect him to be quite courageous."

Rong Zhuo smiled, "Wealth and wealth are in danger, we want to come even more if others dare not come."

"You're right." The boss said, "But our Beijiang shouldn't be in chaos for too long. Now that His Royal Highness is in command of the Northern Army, the fighting will subside soon."

When Rong Zhuo heard him mention Yu Jingdu, he was a little curious, and said, "It will be more than a month since the Crown Prince came to Beijiang?"

Yu Jingdu and the others set off half a month earlier than Rong Zhuo and the others, and they were on the fast track, so they traveled much faster than Rong Zhuo and the others.

"What's wrong with Yueyu?" The boss said: "His Royal Highness went to battle on the second day after he came to Beijiang. It is estimated that the number of Kuang people who committed suicide in this month is too many to count. Only two days ago, His Royal Highness had a big fight." Victory! I heard that the battle would have taken some time, but His Royal Highness insisted on fighting in person, and shot half of their coach's arm as soon as he entered the battle, causing the army to collapse and withdraw early. "

"He killed the national coach?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"The man is not dead, his arm is crippled." The noodle shop owner said, "But their coach has crippled an arm. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight this battle."

Jin Douzi asked, "The first two days, was it the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday?"

"It was July 29." The stall owner said, "The whole city of Beijiang was celebrating that day, and I even gave away ten bowls of noodles for nothing!"

"July 29..."

Jin Douzi looked at Rong Rongzhuo, thinking what a coincidence, on the day of their son's birthday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated the coach of the country.
