Although Yu Jingdu had been honestly doing nothing in the second half of the night, Rong Zhuo still couldn't get up the next day.

He slept very deeply this time, and it was already noon when he woke up the next day.

"Why didn't you call me?" Rong Zhuo said sleepily.

"I'm afraid you won't wake up and feel uncomfortable." Yu Jingdu leaned over to the side of the couch, leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, "Don't worry, I have already asked Xing Chong to take the big boss and them to resettle. Don't worry, just rest well today."

Rong Zhuo struggled to remember, but found that he had no strength in his whole body, and his waist was so sore.

Yu Jingdu twisted the wet handkerchief to help him wipe his face and hands, and brought water for him to rinse his mouth, as if his posture had no intention of getting people out of bed at all.

"I heard from Jin Douzi that his leg was injured before?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

Rong Zhuo was stunned, stretched out his hand to touch his leg, and found that the injury had healed, and there was no trace of it.

The wound on his leg was worn out while riding, so it hurt for a few days and then slowly scabbed over.This way to Beijiang, the wounds are basically healed, and the scabs have receded, and there is almost no abnormality if you don't look closely.

"It's nothing, just riding for too long." Rong Zhuo said.

He was afraid that Yu Jingdu would be worried, so he told the other party everything, but Yu Jingdu frowned after hearing this.

"Are you unhappy?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"No." Yu Jingdu said: "The next time you encounter this kind of thing, let Xing Chong and the others handle it. You don't have to do it yourself. You have your responsibility, and they also have theirs."

Rong Zhuo smiled at him, pretending to be relaxed and said: "If I don't go to Yuzhou, how can I bring the masters?"

Yu Jingdu forced a smile when he heard the words, his heart ached so much, but he didn't say much.

"I'll bring you the rice, you can eat here." Yu Jingdu got up.

Rong Zhuo said with some resistance: "I want to go down and eat, and I'm not sick..."

"That's fine." Yu Jingdu lifted the quilt, and sat down at the table with someone in his arms, letting Rong Zhuo sit on his lap.

Rong Zhuo's face was flushed, and he said awkwardly: "Don't do this!"

"No one else is watching, so why not if I hold you?" Yu Jingdu took the porridge bowl solemnly, "Besides, I have never seen what you look like, so you and I are still ashamed?"

Rong Zhuo thought about it, he and Yu Jingdu have done all kinds of shy things, and there is really no need to see each other again.Thinking of this, he relaxed a lot, adjusted a comfortable posture and leaned against Yu Jingdu's arms.

"Does it still hurt?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

"A little bit." Rong Zhuo complained, "You've been taking too long."

When Yu Jingdu heard this, his heart ached and his face burned, but at the same time he felt a little proud.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. It's been a long time." Yu Jingdu said, "It will definitely be different tonight."

Rong Zhuo's ears turned red, "Can't you stop tonight?"

"Alright." Yu Jingdu said, "Then how long can you stay in Beijiang?"

"I... want to come again before winter, so I'll stay for ten days at most." Rong Zhuo said.

"Ten days, then it will take three or four months for you to go back and forth." Yu Jingdu said: "It's August now, and we will meet again next time, will we have to wait until the end of the year? What if the Beijiang River is blocked by heavy snow then?" Road, may have to wait until next spring..."

Hearing what he said, Rong Zhuo suddenly became a little depressed.

"If you stay in Beijiang for another ten days, if you go back every day, then you can..."

"Stop talking!" Rong Zhuo rubbed against his neck, "Then be gentle tonight..."

Yu Jingdu was satisfied after hearing the words, and promised again and again that he would restrain himself.

But Rong Zhuo couldn't get up the next day because of his soft heart at this moment.

If he had other plans, he doubted that Yu Jingdu would be able to catch him in the posthouse for ten days without going out.

But it was rare for him to come to Beijiang, and he brought a caravan with him. He couldn't just go back to the capital empty-handed, so he had to buy some Beijiang's special products before leaving Beijiang.

"I'll accompany you." Yu Jingdu said.

Rong Zhuo even got into a fight with him because of his quarrel last night, but Wen Yan still didn't want to refuse.

General Chang gave Yu Jingdu ten days off, now two days have passed, and there are still eight days left.

And he will set off back to the capital with the caravan eight days later.

So every moment in Beijiang, he was reluctant to part with Yu Jingdu.

"You're just sure that I won't get angry with you, that's why you go too far." Rong Zhuo complained.

"I can't control myself, can this be my fault?" Yu Jingdu helped him tidy up his clothes, and kissed him on the lips, "Who made you so painful? And when I asked you, didn't you also……"

Rong Zhuo raised his hand to cover his lips, "Don't laugh at me again."

Yu Jingdu knew that he was thin-skinned, so he didn't want to continue teasing him.

After the two left the post house, they boarded the carriage prepared by Yu Jingdu.

The carriage was covered with thick cushions, and Rong Zhuo didn't feel uncomfortable sitting on it.

After going through the initial difficulties and discomfort, Rong Zhuo has gradually adapted to the closeness with Yu Jingdu, and although he often complains, he is actually quite amused.Yu Jingdu is gentle and considerate in this kind of matter, and is very good at pleasing people, so sometimes he goes a little too far, and Rong Zhuo doesn't really care about him.

"If you stay with me, you won't be recognized by others, right?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"Don't worry, almost no one in Beijiang city knows me." Yu Jingdu said, "Even if someone recognizes me, it's okay, you and I won't do anything on the street."

Rong Zhuo took out a list from his pocket, which listed some specialties of Beijiang, including food, jade, and some furs.

"Let's take a look at them one by one today." Rong Zhuo said, "Tomorrow I will discuss with Lao Lu before deciding what to buy."

"No need." Yu Jingdu said: "I have prepared some of the things you want, and I have also found someone who is familiar with the market. After a while, you can read everything at once. What do you think is suitable? , Just let someone buy it tomorrow.”

Rong Zhuo was startled, "When did you arrange this? Didn't you stay with me for the past two days?"

"Before you came to Beijiang, I asked someone to do it." Yu Jingdu said: "I knew that with your temperament, you would never stay in Beijiang for too long. for these things."

Yu Jingdu helped him arrange these, virtually saving Rong Zhuo several days of effort.

Rong Zhuo was quite upset in his heart, and couldn't help but rub against him in his arms.

On that day, Yu Jingdu took Rong Zhuo to a commercial firm. The owner of this firm was surnamed Xie, and he was an old acquaintance of Yu Jingdu.

The other party didn't know before that Yu Jingdu arranged these things for Rong Zhuo, but now that he knew that Rong Zhuo was the owner of the Zhengrong caravan, he was so impressed that he almost pulled Rong Zhuo to him.

"Our commercial firms in Beijiang City have all heard about Boss Rong, and everyone is looking forward to talking to Boss Rong." Boss Xie said to Rong Zhuo, "Don't worry, Boss Rong, no matter how much you take away in Beijiang this time, You can always pay for the goods after the goods are delivered. And with someone from me to thank, I guarantee that what you take away is the best goods in Beijiang."

At first, Rong Zhuo didn't quite understand why Boss Xie was so enthusiastic about him, but later he learned that their caravan is now well-known in the entire Beijiang business circle.

One is because Beijiang was protected by the Beijiang Army, and the medicine brought by Rong Zhuo's caravan solved the urgent need of the Beijiang Army and saved the lives of many soldiers.The second reason is that in the past many years, no long-distance caravan has come to Beijiang. They rely on small local caravans for the needs of the whole city.

The arrival of Rong Zhuo and the others seemed to open an exit for Beijiang.

With this relationship, Rong Zhuo's affairs in Beijiang became very smooth.

It took him almost a day to select the goods to buy and preliminarily set up a cooperative firm.

He finally purchased a batch of jade and leather goods under the advice of Boss Xie and others.

If there is no accident, these things don't even need to be transported to the capital, and they can be sold one after another halfway.

"I've thought about it before, our journey back and forth to the capital is too long, and it takes too much time." After returning to the posthouse that day, Rong Zhuo said to Yu Jingdu: "Although the road to Beijiang is not easy, in fact The most difficult ones are concentrated in the second half, and the first half is relatively easy, and several of my uncle’s caravans alone can cover the first half.”

Rong Zhuo drew a line with his hand on the map, and then pointed to the place in Yuzhou, "So I was thinking, if I let my cousin Zhang Luoren run in the first half, and transport all the things we want to the vicinity of Yuzhou. In this way, we You don’t even need to go back to the capital, as long as you walk to Yuzhou, you can come back again, which can save nearly two months of effort.”

And most of the things they brought back in Beijiang can be sold along the way, and the rest can be placed in Yuzhou. It doesn't matter whether it is handled by the Duan's firm in Yuzhou or Duan Zheng brings it back to the capital.

"Didn't I go to Yuzhou last time? I heard from the head of the family that there is a road for us to pass here, just change the road, and we can pass through Yuzhou with almost no delay." After Rong Zhuo said, he stretched out his hand and gestured .

"You write down your plan clearly, and I'll send someone back to the capital quickly." Yu Jingdu said: "In this way, before you arrive in Yuzhou, you can ensure that Duan Zheng will send all the next batch of patented medicines you want to deliver to Yuzhou .”

In this way, they might be able to make another trip to Beijiang around November.

That night, Rong Zhuo wrote a letter to Duan Chengxing, explaining his thoughts clearly.

Early the next morning, Yu Jingdu sent someone to hurry up and send the letter to the capital.

At the same time, news came from the camp that Li Feng woke up.

After Yu Jingdu got the news, he took Rong Zhuo back to the camp.

At first, Rong Zhuo was a little worried, fearing that it would be wrong to go to the camp and attract attention.

But he soon realized that he was worrying too much. Many of the seriously wounded who were carried back from the front that day saved their lives after using the medicine Rong Zhuo brought, so many people in the camp felt sorry for Rong. The Zhuohe caravan was very grateful.

I thought it would be difficult to see the benefactor this time, but who would have thought that the benefactor would take the initiative to come to the door.

Everyone was busy being grateful, how could they have the time to ask why he appeared in the camp?

"Are you happy?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

The two stayed in Jingdu's camp, and people still came outside from time to time, saying they wanted to thank Rong Zhuo face to face.Later Yu Jingdu pretended to be angry and sent those people away.

"You are very fierce to them." Rong Zhuo said.

"Do you know how many wounded people are in the camp?" Yu Jingdu said: "Not only them, but also their good friends, superiors and subordinates, all of them will come to you at that time, you don't need to do anything else today."

After finishing speaking, he took out a small porcelain jar from his pocket, and smiled ambiguously at Rong Zhuo.

"You!" Rong Zhuo frowned, "Can't you wait until evening to return to the posthouse?"

"This is my home in Beijiang, don't you want to leave something here?" Yu Jingdu said persuasively: "In the future, when you are not in Beijiang, I will stay here, and I will be able to think of being like you today." , it’s good to have a thought, isn’t it?”

Rong Zhuo was still a little bit resistant at first, but his heart softened immediately after being coaxed by him like this.

"I'll tell the people outside not to be disturbed. Don't worry, you won't be discovered." Yu Jingdu said again.

After hearing this, Rong Zhuo compromised and said, "Okay, but it can't be too long."

Yu Jingdu was elated when he heard the words, and finally made up for the regret of the reunion day.

In the afternoon of that day, Yu Jingdu took Rong Zhuo and left the camp.

Rong Zhuo was so exhausted by him that he fell asleep in the carriage all the way.

It wasn't until he woke up that Yu Jingdu didn't take him back to the post house today, but went to a Zhuangzi.

This Zhuangzi is the place Yu Jingdu mentioned before to house Dadangjia and Meng Fanqing.

This Zhuangzi is huge, and there are guards at the door, which looks quite safe.

However, from the outside, it looks unremarkable and not too noticeable.

Rong Zhuo followed Yu Jingdu in, and saw a lot of wood piled up in the courtyard, as well as various things he didn't know much about.Going further into the side courtyard, you can still smell the faint smell of gunpowder.

"Is this place the secret workshop of your Northern Army?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"Well, what do you think?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

"Yes, it's safer to put it here than in the army." Rong Zhuo said: "However, for things that involve gunpowder, it's best to find a more remote house, don't put it together with other things, and try to keep it away from the people house farther away."

Yu Jingdu nodded when he heard the words, and immediately ordered someone to do it.

The head was very happy to see Rong Zhuo, took him to visit the house, and told him all his recent ideas.It was only then that Rong Zhuo knew that what the master made when he was in Xidaying was actually just a preliminary attempt, and his true strength was far from being brought into play.

"You have dug a treasure for me this time." Yu Jingdu said to Rong Zhuo.

Rong Zhuo smiled, "You originally planned to use his?"

"I have this plan, but I haven't made up my mind, because I'm not very sure about him, and I don't know what he will come up with." Yu Jingdu said: "You have to know, I have never used these things before. Well, if I use him rashly, it will go well, but if something goes wrong, those old-fashioned people in the capital who don't understand anything will seize this matter and trample me to death."

Rong Zhuo frowned, "Then there won't be such a problem now?"

"No, I believe Chu Dong will surprise us." Yu Jingdu said.

He paused, and then said to Rong Zhuo: "You always have a sharper judgment than others in these matters, whether it is the medicine sent to the Beibei Army, or the head of the family..."

Rong Zhuo's eyes froze when he heard this, and his heart trembled suddenly.

He remembered the question Yu Jingdu once asked him, about the secret he had been hiding all along.

I don't know if it was his illusion, he felt that Yu Jingdu was hinting at him, or giving him a chance to confess.

But right now, Rong Zhuo doesn't think it's a good time to confess.

Soon they will be apart, and the days they will be together can count on one hand.

If he had said so, he was not sure that Yu Jingdu would lightly reveal the matter.

He thought, let's talk about it after returning to the capital.

The good thing is that Jing Du wasn't attached, seeing that Rong Zhuo didn't answer, he didn't mention it again.

In the end, Rong Zhuo stayed in Beijiang for a few more days.

It wasn't until the Mid-Autumn Festival with Yu Jingdu that he set off with the caravan.

Obviously the return journey is the same as the departure journey, but because he walked through it once, Rong Zhuo always felt that the journey seemed to be shorter on the return journey.As he expected, the fur goods they brought back from Beijiang were almost sold out before they reached Yuzhou.

Because in recent years, there have been no caravans traveling to and from Beijiang, so few people in the states and counties along the way sell things from Beijiang.

In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed and the weather is getting colder, so it is not difficult to do leather goods business.

Eventually, when they got to Yuzhou, most of what was left was jade.

These things are expensive, so Rong Zhuo didn't mention the small counties along the way at all, and brought them all to Yuzhou.

The letter that Rong Zhuo wrote to Duan Chengxing earlier arrived in the capital.

Duan Chengxing didn't dare to delay at all, according to Rong Zhuo's plan, he asked the caravan of Duan's family to transport all the things Rong Zhuo wanted to Yuzhou.

When Rong Zhuo arrived in Yuzhou, everything he wanted was ready.

Duan Zheng has been waiting in Yuzhou without returning to the capital, in order to see Rong Zhuo, and then lead the team to bring back the things Rong Zhuo brought back to the capital.

"It's not even tanned." After seeing Rong Zhuo, Duan Zheng's eye circles were a little red, he stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, and said, "It's just a little thinner, and there is no flesh on his face."

Rong Zhuo hugged him, reached out and patted his back twice heavily.

After several months of separation, the two brothers have changed a lot.

Rong Zhuo lost a little of the childishness of the past, and Duan Zheng also looked calmer.

These days Rong Zhuo was running around outside, and he didn't dare to slack off in the capital, not only worrying about Rong Zhuo's goods, but also personally took the caravan to Yuzhou.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the firm still has something to do, I really want to go to Beijiang with you this time." Duan Zheng said.

"Wait until next year. Next year, I will guard the firm in the capital. You can go to Beijiang to enjoy yourself."

Duan Zheng smiled, knowing that Rong Zhuo was comforting himself, so he didn't say anything more.

The two brothers talked by candlelight that night, and they didn't go to sleep until the middle of the night.

Rong Zhuo didn't dare to stay in Yuzhou for too long this time, and he didn't have time to return to the capital.

After resting for a few days, the caravan set foot on the road to Beijiang again.

Now that it is nearly October, Beijiang has already entered winter.

Rong Zhuo must rush back as soon as possible, otherwise they might not be able to enter Beijiang in case of heavy snowfall.

Because they had already walked there before, this time they walked more smoothly, and there were almost no accidents along the way.

When approaching Beijiang, Rong Zhuo was still thinking, at the beginning Yu Jingdu said that there were many bandits on this road, but he walked back and forth several times, and he never encountered them, it seems that he was lucky.

Unexpectedly, without talking about everything, an accident happened when they were about two days away from Beijiang.

They were attacked, and the opponent was a group of about thirty rogues, although they were not as capable as Jingdu's people, they were well-trained.

They suddenly appeared on a narrow mountain road, catching the caravan by surprise.

Although the caravan has a large number of people, it is distributed in a narrow and long team, so it is a little slow to deal with the sudden rogues.Before the people at both ends of the team arrived, the rogues had already injured several people and robbed some goods.

Of course, their way of snatching the goods was relatively rough. They just got the sack out of the car and rolled it down the mountain.

Because the caravan was only passing through here, even if they lost their goods, they couldn't spend too much time looking for them down the mountain, so they could only admit that they were dead, and once the caravan left, they could find the goods and take them away for their own.Judging from their modus operandi, they should be habitual offenders. It is estimated that many caravans have suffered disasters, but Rong Zhuo's caravan was lucky last time and did not encounter them.

It would be fine if what they snatched were only common patent medicines, they have a lot of medicinal materials, not bad at all.

Coincidentally, one of the cars they picked at random was carrying the medicine made by the imperial physicians in the palace.

The medicines in that car were the most precious of all the patented medicines, almost all of them were life-saving medicines, so Rong Zhuo kept a close eye on them along the way.When the bandits came to grab the medicine, Rong Zhuo was sitting on the front of the carriage behind.

According to the rules Xing Chong taught him, what he should do when he encounters trouble is to crawl under the car with his head in his arms, and then show his face after the guards have resolved the trouble.

Ke Rongzhuo saw that the rogue had already used a knife to pick the rope off the car, and the next few bags of the most precious medicinal materials on the car would be thrown down the mountain.

Before he had time to think about it, he raised his hand and shot the person closest to the carriage with the sleeve arrow in his hand.

His actions immediately attracted the attention of the rogues. Seeing his thin skin and tender flesh, the rogues guessed that his identity should be unusual, and even planned to hijack him. Suddenly, several people rushed towards him with knives.

Seeing this, the guards on the side wanted to come to rescue him, but they were caught by other bandits.

Everything happened in an instant, and it was too late for the guards in the distance to save him.

Seeing Rong Zhuo sitting motionless on the carriage, as if he was frightened, he only cared about playing with the sleeve arrow in his hand, but he didn't know how to run.However, Yu Jingdu made the sleeve arrow in order not to be too cumbersome for him to carry, so the strength of the sleeve arrow was not strong. Although the rogue was shot in pain, he was not seriously injured, and on the contrary, he became more and more ruthless.

Rong Zhuo shot three arrows, swish, swish, and shot all three people who rushed towards him, but unfortunately none of them hit the vital point.

The three of them came to the carriage in an instant, one of them grabbed his lapel and dragged him out of the carriage, throwing him to the ground.

The man was terribly aroused by the sleeve arrow, this time he used great force, when Rong Zhuo was hit by him like this, his internal organs were smashed to pieces, he felt his eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.

Seeing this, the guard who was near to rescue him in the future raised his heart in his throat, threw the long knife in his hand, and directly plunged into the body of the rogue just now.

But what he didn't notice was that the moment the bandit picked up Rong Zhuo, Rong Zhuo spilled a handful of medicine powder from his hand.It was only because of the wind on the mountain road that the medicine powder deflected, so the man was not fascinated. However, the other two rogues beside this man were not so lucky. They covered their eyes and howled as soon as they were choked by the medicine powder.

And the rogue who was hit by the guard with a knife just now fell in front of Rong Zhuo without any resistance.

Rong Zhuo resisted the pain all over his body and covered his heart, raised his hand and shot another arrow at the man's neck.

Then he turned over and rolled to the bottom of the car, not daring to turn his head again...

But being interrupted by Rong Zhuo, the cart of medicinal materials was saved, and not a single bag was lost.

Seeing that their own people were injured, the rogues had no intention of continuing to grab things, and were distracted by trying to save their companions.However, the moment they hesitated, the guards at the head and tail of the caravan rushed over.

Even though the rogues were well-trained, it was not so easy for them to take advantage of Yu Jingdu's people.In the past, they just took advantage of the opportunity to act wildly, but now the situation has suddenly reversed. After they reacted and wanted to escape, they found that it was too late.

In the end, more than 30 bandits were killed or injured, and only a few escaped.
