    The sun is rising and the temperature is getting higher.

    No matter the horses or the people, they are hurrying to eat and drink without wasting any time to rest.  However, the horse does not take off its harness and the man does not take off his clothes. He is always on guard and can set off at any time.  Only veterans who are familiar with this area know that the wasteland is not as dry as it seems.

    There are always dangers here, and there are many.

    Therefore, it seems very unusual for Zhang Weidong and his party to bury pots and cook rice on the roadside.

    The smoke is curling up from the kitchen, the pot is steaming, and the rice is fragrant in the wind.

    Many people who smelled it couldn't help but swallow their saliva.  If there are delicious hot meals and dishes, who would want to eat and drink dry food and cold water?

    "Hurry up and replenish your strength, hurry up and rest! We are still 50 miles away from the first inn, otherwise we will have to spend the night in the wilderness!" Upon seeing this, the guard captains among the small merchants came over on horseback to inspect, scolding everyone.

    "Two hours is not much. The overnight journey makes people and horses tired and sleepy. Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly ate, as if there was something terrible in these 50 miles.

    The big merchant's surname is Chen, but he is not in the same group as the three small merchants. He has never been to the back and does not care about the life and death of the small merchants.  The escorts from the 'Anyuan Escort Bureau' will not come to the back because they confiscate the money of the small businessmen.

    The boss of the small businessman who followed the big businessman closely was named Feng Minggao. He was not tall, dark and thin, but his arms were lean and he had a mustache and a goatee.  He has the most bicycle racks among the three small traders, with 30 bicycles.  20 of them were loaded with cargo, and the rest were loaded with food and fodder for personnel and horses. There were not many single riders, only 3 horses, and the guards mostly walked, which was very hard work.

    However, merchants engaged in cross-border business between Qing and Qi, no matter how big or small, supply supplies along the way, which is enough, and they do not bring more food and grass.  And accordingly.  The supplies along the way have also supported many merchants who specialize in supply trade, and an industry has been formed.

    On this trip, Feng Gao purchased high-quality "bottomless salt" in bulk from Qingguo. Qingguo's "bottomless salt" was produced underground.  It has the reputation of "tribute salt" and is famous in several surrounding countries. It is very popular among the upper classes.  Purchased from Qingguo and wholesaled from Qiguo, the price was several times higher.  Only this amount.  After deducting the cost, Feng Gao can earn 5 or 6 gold coins!

    Especially in the past six months, the border between Qing State and Qi State has been constantly colliding, the situation has become more tense, and merchants have to take greater risks. The price of Qing State's "bottomless refined salt" has increased by several percent in Qi State.  In fact, not only refined salt, but also other Qingguo specialties are also growing rapidly.

    After riding all the way, my legs and buttocks hurt from sitting, so I took a rest.  Feng Gao, accompanied by a guard, walked towards the back.

    "Lao Yu!"

    "Old Feng? Aren't you tired? Do you still have the energy to visit?"

    "You don't even complain about being tired even though you're so fat, how could I be tired? Hey!"

    "Is this called fat? You are a waste of ribs!"

    The boss of the small businessman following Feng Gao¡¯s motorcade was named Yu Qiuxia. He was white and seemed to have a lot of fat on his body, but he was not sweating and had a long breath.  A merchant who dares to do business across the border.  Each one has great skills, and their physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. They are also shrewd and strong characters.

    As a small businessman, many people know each other.  Even if they are competitors, they are also a circle, and sometimes they need to unite to deal with the outside world.

    There is no place to rest here, and there are no stools or chairs. The two exchanged a few words with each other and chatted on the roadside.  The two personal guards kept a certain distance and waited outside, keeping their hands on their weapons.

    Feng Gao took out a long copper smoking pot with a jade-mouthed wooden stem and a tobacco bag. He took out some brown tobacco leaves, lit them with a flint, and took a nice puff.  Yu Qiuxia was not interested in cigarettes. He flashed his fat hand, took out a small silver pot and took a sip.

    "Old Feng, you may have made a lot of money from the refined salt this trip. You should know that the refined salt price has increased so much, so I also shipped it!"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Out of Stock

    "Are your porcelain and furs out of date?"

    "It's not easy to do. After this trip is over, I don't know when the next trip will be. Maybe I won't plan to travel far this year."

    Yu Qiuxia's worried sigh made Feng Gao frown.

    If the border war intensifies further, checkpoints may be blocked, and customs clearance will naturally become impossible.  Moreover, by that time, some merchants will not be able to do business. Qing and Qi are mortal enemies, and all trade must be put aside. The merchants will not dare to risk the environment, and they will also risk having their goods confiscated and beheaded.  Big risk.  Although each border trade trip earns gold coins, it is not as precious as life.

    Feng Gao smoked tobacco and looked through the smoke to see the back of the team.  There, Wu Datou isThe young leader of the cumbersome motorcade was together, holding a bowl and eating hot food. His smiling face was clearly visible, and even the personal guard had a share.

    Feng Gao sneered for no reason: "Wu Datou is so beautiful. He doesn't need to eat dry food or drink cold water anymore. He is even willing to give him hot meals despite the burdens he has to bear. Look, his smiling face is even bigger!"

    Yu Qiuxia turned his head and looked over there, then glanced at Feng Gao, and said lightly: "We'd better stay away from other people's private affairs."

    "Hey, it's a private matter? Who doesn't know how to bury a pot to make rice? If a pack of hyenas is attracted, whose responsibility is it?" Feng Gao snorted.

    "There are often hunters around Ren County. Many wild beasts have been wiped out. Coyotes should rarely appear."

    "Coyotes don't care whether they should show up or not. Aren't horses and people just fat?"

    "Old Feng, how about you go and negotiate?"

    "snort!"

    Yu Qiuxia laughed at Feng Gao's joke.  There are conflicts between Feng Gao and Wu Datou, not only business, but also personal grudges.  And this personal grudge will probably never be resolved for the rest of their lives, unless one of them dies first.  It is said that Feng Gao and Wu Datou were good friends when they were young. One day, they both fell in love with a rich girl from Luliu Town, the first town on the border of Qi State.  For this reason, the two of them changed their past and stopped wandering, but started a small business.  It's a pity that falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless. In short, Feng Gao struck out and the loyal Wu Datou embraced the beauty.  From then on, the two became strangers, and even when they met, they exchanged cold words.

    Yu Qiuxia didn't want to be used as a gunman, so he simply stopped talking. Feng Gao stayed for a while and felt bored and went back.

    Soon, the team set off again.

    Two hours of eating, drinking, and resting only restored less than half of the strength of the men and horses.  However, the place to stay overnight is still 50 miles away.  Everyone still had to cheer up and rush on their way.  It would be dangerous if you missed your overnight stop, as wild beasts were the biggest threat.

    The beasts swarm in droves.  Comes and goes like the wind.  Especially the pack of coyotes, which are the most numerous in this wilderness, even if the patrol camp encounters them, they try to avoid and drive them away, and do not want to have a head-on conflict.  It was common for coyotes to attack convoys at that time.  Half of the casualties were caused by encounters with packs of coyotes, and disease, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, etc. only accounted for a smaller half.

    At the end of the team, Zhang Weidong also stopped training the teenagers and asked them to get on the carriage, trying to save and recover their strength, while keeping the spears and swords in their hands.  Once a pack of coyotes really attacks, the teenagers won't be able to help much, so it's good to be able to protect themselves.  These young men are good seedlings, whether they are training guards for Zhang Weidong himself or for Xu Qing's mother and daughter.  All are seeds.

    Seeing the teenagers sitting on the carriage happily one by one, Zhao Gongjian cursed: "It's so lazy! I can't stand the pain at all!"

    But no, a meal for thirty or forty people, a lot of horses, and mules, consumes a lot of food and grass, and a cart of supplies is just gone.  However, the empty frame was just perfect for carrying these guys.

    On the other side of the motorcade, Zhao Hunting Dog heard this and scolded a few teenagers. He felt very majestic and said with a smile: "Dad, my eldest brother and I were beaten by you a lot when we were young, but we suffered much more than these boys.  , but now I¡¯m finally coming forward!¡±

    Zhao Gongjian immediately sneered and said: "Come forward? It's too early! When will you realize what the master said about 'lifting a heavy weight as if it were light', 'lifting a light weight as if it were heavy', and 'lifting a light weight as if it were heavy', when will you be considered a master!"

    Zhao Hunting Gou glanced at Zhang Weidong, who was riding diagonally opposite, with a guilty conscience.  He lowered his voice and said, "Dad, do you understand?"

    Zhao Gongjian suddenly became angry and wanted to beat this boy up.  However, the place was wrong and the time was wrong, so I could only scold him.

    ??The physique of everyone has met the requirements of a second-rate warrior, but a warrior requires more than just physical fitness.  There is also the realm of martial arts, and the latter is even more important.  They can only be regarded as ordinary second-rate warriors, and they are still far from the realm required by Zhang Weidong. Even at the first level, they have not understood the 'heavy weight and lightness'.

    ??It only took a while to laugh and curse. Driving in the wilderness was very boring and tiring. People in the cars and horses were drowsy, and people on foot had to keep up with their sore legs.  It can be seen that it is not easy for escorts. Not everyone can become an escort.

    "Brother Zhang, why don't you get in the car and take a seat?" Xu Qing opened the car curtain and greeted Zhang Weidong who was riding with him, his eyes full of concern.

    On the horseback, Zhang Weidong was half asleep and half awake. Hearing this, he smiled gently at Xu Qing: "Don't worry, I'm in good health. Don't worry, stay in the car. We'll be watching from both sides. No problem!"

    Xu Qing looked at him tenderly, opened her mouth, swallowed again, and lowered the car curtain.

    Inexplicably, Xu Qing always felt at ease when he heard Zhang Weidong's confident tone.  This also made her originally feelThe hearts of each other, with their bodies, gradually turned into affection.

    In the carriage, Xu Qing and Mrs. Zhao looked at several children, Xiao Yueyue, Goudan, Xiao Zhanghui, etc., all crowded together on the soft and warm bedding. Even if the dirt road was uneven and shaky, they  Also slept soundly.  In another carriage later, Zhao Lanlan and Aunt Zhao also looked after the other children.

    After walking for more than ten miles, the sun was shining brightly, making people even more drowsy.  But his eyes and ears were extremely sharp, and he seemed to hear the roar of beasts coming from the wind.

    Zhang Weidong reined up his horse and rode back, and told Zhao Erbao and others: "Be careful, there may be large beasts nearby!"

    When Zhao Erbao and others heard this, they immediately became alert and whispered to the teenagers.  As soon as the teenagers heard that there was a large beast nearby, the last traces of sleepiness disappeared immediately. They clenched the weapons in their hands, and they were so excited.

    "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!" Zhang Weidong saw it and smiled with satisfaction.

    "Master, do you want to inform Boss Wu?" Zhao Gongjian came riding.

    "That's good!"

    Zhao Gongjian urged him to dismount his horse and ran forward in small steps.

    Wu Datou listened to Zhao Gongjian's message, thanked him, asked the guards to be alert, and asked people to run forward to inform Yu Qiuxia.  The team of merchants is too long, so sometimes they just rely on passing the message from person to person.  Yu Qiuxia was alerted, but the guards heard nothing, didn't see anything, and didn't quite believe it.  However, he still informed Feng Gao at the front.

    When Feng Gao heard this, he sarcastically said: "The more Wu Datou lives, the more he goes back. The wind is like rain, and the sound of grass and trees is probably the howling of wolves, right? Are you listening to a doctor who doesn't understand anything? Haha!"

    "Haha!" After hearing this, the guards all laughed.

    "The journey is boring and boring, but this is finally a fun pastime."

    After the guard reported back, Yu Qiuxia smiled and said: "What do you care about others? Wu Datou also has good intentions, everyone should be more alert!"

    "yes!"

    Yu Qiuxia also felt that Wu Datou was making a fuss out of a molehill. There were so many beasts in the wilderness, so what did it mean to hear a few beast roars?  What's more, this is a reminder from a doctor who knows nothing?  (~^~)
