Chapter 436 Caravan

Continue to go south along the Yellow River. As the business trips on the road increased, Ye Qing and others were getting closer and closer to Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia.

Coupled with the goods they snatched along the way, they had become a complete merchant when they arrived at Shizuizi Ferry.

Even when they passed the investigation of the Twelve Military Supervisors set up on the border between the Western Xia and the Tatars, they successfully passed the investigation by relying on the crappy Tatar words that Lao Liu, who had been eating grass on the grassland for nearly two years.

The business trips of Ye Qing and others, including one hundred people, do not seem eye-catching among the many business trips. Whether it is the vast grassland or the business trips that can be seen on the road after entering the long Gobi Desert, they can only be regarded as a medium-sized caravan.

It is not uncommon for a camel caravan with dozens of camels, and a business trip mixed with dozens of carriages, to the way to Shizuizi.

Often when such a caravan meets Ye Qing's caravan, he will look at them with disdain.

After all, their number of people is inversely proportional to goods in the eyes of experts. There are many people and few goods, so naturally it seems a bit inappropriate in the eyes of experts.

"I'm so embarrassed to let so many people protect such cheap fur goods? It seems that the Tatars have never seen the world after all."

"Looking at fur, I'm afraid it's not as valuable as a camel. It actually uses more than a hundred people to protect it. Are there many Tatars on the grassland?"

"The local bun, I'm afraid I'll be stunned when I arrived at Xingqing Mansion. I'm afraid I haven't seen such a prosperous capital."

Ye Qing and others could not understand their words, but they could still see a trace of disdain and ridicule on their faces.

But with a vast camel caravan, horse squad and carriage, and nearly a thousand soldiers in armor, guarding two rather gorgeous carriages passing by.

The other business travelers who were originally walking on the road, like Ye Qing, had to stand aside obediently and wait for this somewhat dusty road, but it didn't look like a simple business travel team was the first to pass by.

Just like the business trip standing on both sides of the road, Ye Qing also saluted like this overly large team. From beginning to end, he did not see even a trace of obvious signs and flags. The entire team seemed very low-key, but also exuded a sense of dignity.

Especially when the two gorgeous carriages passed by, Ye Qing smelled an unusual meaning. As the tightly closed car curtain slowly opened a gap, although he could not see what kind of noble figure was sitting inside, he could still tell from the small half of his fingers that slightly raised the curtain that exposed the slender fingers should be unique to women.

After the entire caravan passed by them, Ye Qing couldn't help but whisper at Xu Qingnu and signaled Xu Qing to follow him to find out where he came.

"What's wrong?" Old Liu and Zhao Qier looked at Xu Qing pulling a few sheepskins from the other people's horses, putting them on their horses, dressing themselves up as if they were alone in businessmen, and asking strangely when they began to follow the camel caravan.

"What a caravan? Have you ever seen such a large caravan?" Ye Qing pointed at the front and back and continued, "Which caravan has such a big pomp along the way? Let the other caravans stand on the side of the road waiting for them to pass?"

"Can it be the Xia people's own caravan? After all, it is equipped with armor guards. Or is it the Xia people's princes and nobles?" After Lao Liu left the grassland, he basically turned back to Lao Liu with normal IQ. He didn't know much more about the humanities of Xixia than Ye Qing.

"It is more than 200 miles away from Xingqing Mansion. If it were princes and nobles, it would not seem like they were traveling for a long distance and were covered in dust. They must have been coming all the way from other farther places to Xingqing." Ye Qing looked at the huge team passing by, and the business trip on the road began to follow the dirt behind and set off again, and said while thinking.

Just as Ye Qing was thinking about who was the team of nearly a thousand people just passed by and who was the woman in the carriage, Old Liu head beside him jumped three feet high, pointing to the stone-mouth ferry in the distance and shouting in surprise: "Look at Dutou, what is that?"

"You've been chased by the dog, why can't you change this sudden problem?" Ye Qing, who was startled by Lao Liu's head, said helplessly, and then looked in the direction of Lao Liu's head's finger: "Damn it! The flag of the flower planter?!"

At the Shizuishan Ferry, an inconspicuous ferry on the turbid river surface was hung with flags waving in the wind on all sides. The sunflowers on the flag, coupled with the stem, moved with the wind in Ye Qing's eyes, were like the swaying sunflowers among plants and zombies.

Just as Ye Qing and others began to speed up towards the Shizuishan Ferry, the huge caravan did not even stop, and at the outer side of the crowded and bustling ferry, they picked the road eastward and began to walk towards Xingqing Mansion.

Yelu Yue was sitting in the carriage, and the person sitting opposite him was Xiao Chuwen who was summoned by her to the carriage to question when she was passing by Shizuizi.

As one of the envoys who accompanied her to the Western Xia this time, Xiao Chuwen was knowledgeable and had a deep understanding of the Han culture that the Xia people admired and imitated. It was precisely because he was well-read by Han poetry that he became an envoy who accompanied him to the Xia Kingdom this time.

"Is that person a Han?" After Yelu Yue got on the carriage at Xiao Chuwen, she began to ask about the young businessman she saw when she had just passed by those caravans.

Xiao Chuwen was stunned at first. After all, there were many business travelers standing on both sides of the road just now, and I don’t know which one she was asking.

"The princess is asking... which one?" Xiao Chuwen looked at the maid next to him and asked with a smile.

"It's the tall and dark-skinned businessman. Although I only took a look, I thought he was a Han person." Yelu Yue said with beautiful eyes quietly looking at Xiao Chuwen.

Even she couldn't explain why she was just lifting a corner of the car curtain and secretly looking outside, among so many people, she only noticed the tall and weird young businessman with extremely strange hair.

If you say you are handsome, it's okay, but that face is not... or if you can't get involved with handsomeness, you can only say that the angular face and the easy-going smile on the corners of your mouth look quite comfortable, but the skin is too dark.

Xiao Chuwen smiled again. He thought that something big was going to happen, so the princess would hurry to summon her, but it turned out to be just to distinguish whether a person was a Han or a Xia person.

So he said slowly: "Even in our Great Liao Dynasty, there are many Han people living in it. The princess should not feel strange when she meets Han people's business trips on the way."

"But I always think that person is weird." Yelu Yue tilted her head and thought about the scene just now, and then said: "So many people are standing by the roadside, although they are all looking at our carriage, they always think that he is... He is not our Han people, but the Han people over there, the Han people of the Song people."

"The Han people of the Song Dynasty?" Xiao Chuwen was shocked, but after thinking about it, he still smiled calmly: "The Song people value profit, but the country is rich but the army is not strong. They have been bullied by the Jin Dynasty over the years, so there should be no problem for them to come here to do business."

"I don't know, I always feel it's weird anyway." Yelu Yue couldn't explain her feelings clearly, but she still felt it was weird and always felt something was wrong.

"Maybe it's because the princess is too tired to travel recently, so why don't I tell General Yelu that before we almost arrive at the capital of the Xia people, we will stop and rest for a night and set off for Xingqing Mansion tomorrow?" Xiao Chuwen asked at the beautiful princess in front of him.

But I felt a little regretful and regretful. The princess who was so beautiful as a fairy should have stayed in the Liao Dynasty, not betrothed to the Xia people. But now, I have to go to the capital of Xia Kingdom to get engaged to the Xia people's prince and become the Xia people's prince's princess.

At the Shizui Mountain Ferry, in the steaming tavern, Ye Qing looked at the Wu Jue in front of him, with surprises and worries in his eyes.

Surprisingly, as if they were walking in a grassland without a man's land or on all sides, they had already had enough of being like blind and deaf people, and had no knowledge of the outside world, but they still had to worry and rush to the road one day.

What is worried about is whether the Sizhou side has been properly arrived after the Wu Jue himself arrived, and whether there will be something wrong with the Wu Jue coming.

"Don't worry, Shaoqing, there will be no problem." Wu Punishment looked at Ye Qing, who was darker in his skin, and knew very well that Ye Qing had suffered a lot this time on his mission.

"Why?" Ye Qing raised the wine bowl and took a sip and asked.

"Since Shaoqing, you handed over the group of people who were supposed to be sent to Yuguan by Poli San to Lord Yu. In addition, Lord Yu was afraid of misleading your major affairs, and when he personally brought someone to escort, the lower official knew that Shaoqing, you had a close relationship with Lord Yu. Therefore, this time, the lower official came to violate the order, except that the matter was too serious and did not dare to entrust others, because Lord Yu was in charge of Xiaguan in Sizhou, so the lower official dared to come." Wu Punishment said to Ye Qing, who had a calm expression.

I haven't seen Ye Qing in the past year. In his opinion, Ye Qing at this time, both appearance and spirit seemed to have sublimated a level and level compared to before his mission.

The whole person seemed more steady, like Yue Linyuan, and a little more of this firm and calm demeanor began to add to his slightest sense of slightness, which was difficult to understand only those who were superior.

"There is no need for you to come here in person. On the one hand, the journey is long, and on the other hand, Xia people don't have a good impression of me. Wouldn't you come here and seek death?" Ye Qing said lightly.

Old Liu and Zhao Qier, who were beside him, looked at the door from time to time, waiting for Xu Qing to come.

"But this time it is a major event for the country, so the officials dare not take the initiative. However, it happened that Shaoqing passed by the Xia Kingdom, so even if the officials were punished by Shaoqing, they must come over." Wu Jue looked at the vendors around him and no one paid attention to their conversation, but he still lowered his voice and said.
