Chapter 38 Caravan!
"it is good!"
A group of big men responded loudly, and immediately exerted force again, and the speed of the team increased by two or three points.
"Caravan?"
The wine glass in Chu Jiang's hand paused, and then a smile appeared on Chu Jiang's face. He drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
The most popular thing at the northern border is the caravans, which can be found almost all year round, but the time when there are the most caravans is in that a month has passed since the Northern Barbarians went south, it is the best time for caravans to do business.
Facing the heavy snow, Chu Jiang stood on the city wall and looked at the caravan below. There were about thirty carriages and nearly a hundred people escorting them. It was quite a large scale.
"Which company does the one below belong to?"
Following Chu Jiang's questioning, the leading man clasped his fists in front of the city gate and saluted, saying: "I have seen Lieutenant Chu Ying. We are living under Bei Yubo."
"Do you have a letter?" Chu Jiang then shouted.
"Have!"
Then, the leading man waited for the hanging basket to be lowered and skillfully placed a token in it.
Chu Jiang took it and took a look. It was an iron token with the word Beiyu written on it. There was nothing wrong with the , Chu Jiang waved his hand and said: "Open the door!"
Bei Yubo is the title of the head of the Chen family. Now Chu Jiang is also a member of the Chu family in name. He is also a member of the same camp as the Chen family. They are both a family. There is no problem and he can be released.
As the gate of No. C Military Town slowly opened, everyone in the caravan immediately entered. At the end of the caravan, there were two carriages. They were not ordinary cargo vehicles. There were obviously people inside.
Half an hour later, Chu Jiang hosted a banquet for the leader of the caravan generously. Chu Jiang took the first seat, while Sun Cheng and Shi Qing sat beside him.
"I've met Lieutenant Chu, you two adults!"
There were five people in the caravan, headed by a rough and arrogant man, followed by a young man in brocade clothes, and a strong old man with scars on his face, exuding a strong aura. .Behind the three people were a scholar wearing Confucian robes and a young man holding a sword.
"I've met you all," Chu Jiang replied with a smile.
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
"Okay, thank you very much, Lieutenant Chu Ying." After the leader saluted again, he led several people behind him to sit down at the table.
After sitting at the table, the rough and arrogant man said: "Chu Yingwei, I am Chen Kui, Tian is the leader of the caravan. This is Chen Shunyun, a relative of Bei Yubo."
The young man in brocade clothes on the side immediately saluted Chu Jiang with clasped fists, and Chu Jiang nodded slightly.
Then, Chen Kui pointed at the sturdy old man with a scar on his face and said: "This is Uncle Wang. He was a fierce soldier in the army in the past, a master of the ninth level the day after tomorrow. There are enough barbarians who died under Uncle Wang before." Nearly a hundred.”
The old man also cupped his fists and saluted Chu Jiang, and when Chu Jiang saw this, he also cupped his fists and saluted back.
Chen Kui then pointed to the scholar and said: "This is Xu Lu, a student of Liangshan Academy. This time it was recommended by the academic administrator of Liangshan Academy. Uncle Tuo came in because he seemed to have something to ask Chu Yingwei. "
The scholar who was pointed at by Chen Kui immediately stood up, bowed to Chu Jiang, and said: "Xu Lu met Chu Yingwei at Xia Liangshan Academy. This time he braved the wind and snow and came here by caravan. It was because he was a scholar. ······" "Brother Xu Lu, this matter is not urgent, it is not urgent, sit down first, sit down first, and it won't be too late to talk after you finish!" Before Xu Lu could finish speaking, Chen Kui on the side interrupted the scholar directly. , pulled the scholar to sit down.
Chu Jiang didn't respond at all to this. It can only be said to be fanciful to expect a scholar with no strength to come over and ask about Sifang Inkstone.
After pressing the scholar down and sitting down, Chen Kui pointed to the last young man holding a sword and said: "This is the young man Xiao Yin Xiaoxia whom I met on the road. Although he is young, he is already an innate master. This time he is traveling to Beijing in a caravan. Doing business within barbarian territory.”
The young man holding the sword had an unruly look in his eyes, and nodded slightly to Chu Jiang as a Jiang also nodded in return and then stopped caring about the young man.
When the young man saw Chu Jiang's actions, he was immediately stunned, his eyes showed anger, and his eyes looking at Chu Jiang became ugly.
However, Chu Jiang ignored him. He was just a small character in the early stage of the Xiantian realm. Not to mention Sun Cheng, Chu Jiang himself could defeat him! That's right, Chu Jiang has taken the first step in his literary cultivation. He has entered the realm of a scholar with half a step of the Analects of Confucius. He has been in the realm of a scholar for more than 20 days, and the sensitivity of his soul is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Chu Jiang could roughly sense the cultivation level of the people present at this time. These three members of the Chen family are all warriors in the late acquired stage. Among them, Chen Kui and the old soldier should be masters of the ninth level of the acquired day. Their auras are stronger than those of the ninth level. The young man in brocade clothes is much stronger.
The last young man holding the sword is an innate master, but there is a huge gap between his aura and Sun Cheng. He should be an innate master in the early stages.
As for the scholar, from the previous title of Chen Kui, we can know that Brother Xu Lu, as long as he has a reputation, he will never be called a brother. He is obviously an ordinary student and has not stepped into the realm of scholar.
You can call him Xu Tongsheng, but this is not appropriate. Brother should be the best title that Chen Kui can think of.
Then the banquet started, and with Chen Kui around, the scene didn't cool down. Taking this opportunity, Chu Jiang also learned about a lot of big things outside.
For example, Dayan's ace army, the Yanshan Army, moved, and wherever it went, the Black Lotus rebels were defeated. In just one month, with the power of thunder, they took back one state from the two states occupied by the Black Lotus. , the Black Lotus Rebellion is about to be eradicated in a day or night!
In addition, the fiefdoms of the two recently adult princes have been determined. Prince Duan will come to Liangshan Prefecture, and Prince Su will go to Qishui Prefecture. After the New Year, they will go north to join the vassal state.
In addition to these major events, there are also various things that happened in the seven counties of Liangshan Prefecture, including competitions between warriors, marriages between aristocratic families, and so on. There are countless other things.
Chu Jiang, the battalion guard who guarded the border and had no source of information, listened with interest. In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. Everyone was full of wine and food and left one after another.
Before leaving, Chen Kui took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms and placed it on the table. "It's a small gesture, but it's disrespectful. There's no need to give it away to Lieutenant Chu Ying. Let's leave first."
Afterwards, Chen Kui took Xu Lu away.
Chu Jiang took the box and opened it. There were sixteen silver ingots neatly placed inside, each of which was five taels in size, 80 taels of silver! This number seems to contain contraband.
But these have nothing to do with Chu Jiang. Anyway, he has his own share, 80 taels of silver, but Chu Jiang, a seventh-grade battalion captain, has received nearly two months' salary, so he can just use the money to do things.
Chu Jiang closed the box and said, "Shi Qing, when the scholar comes later, you can just prevaricate him. If you really can't beat him, Sun Cheng, when you are done, go and keep an eye on that Xiao Yin. If he makes any small moves, just take him down." !”
"Yes!" The two of them immediately clasped their fists and saluted.
