My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 748 More Reassuring

"Shopkeeper Qiao, you businessmen from Xishan know how to judge the situation. You can rest assured that as long as my master succeeds in his great career, your gold, silver and jewelry will definitely not be missing!"

Qiao Chengyun, who was riding on the horse, nodded cheerfully, with a shrewd light in his small eyes.

"Treasurer Jin is being polite when he says this. The old man is a merchant all his life to make money. Although it is dangerous to transport these things, he can earn back money that he can't earn ten times. After all, you are the treasurer Jin. Get through the governor's office in various places and let us go late at night!"

Shopkeeper Jin glanced at Qiao Chengyun with a smile on his face: "I only believe in one sentence in my life, money can turn ghosts around, and no one doesn't like money. We're not just killing people, setting fires, and delivering some supplies. It's normal to turn a blind eye and close one eye!"

"That's right. After all, it's normal to trade weapons in the northern border market. The imperial court is selling weapons. It's not a big deal for us to just deliver them. But don't you Jin Kingdom like Dalong's weapons very much?" ? Why did you buy weapons and transport them to places like Jiangnan where there are few wars?"

A sharp light flashed in Shopkeeper Jin's eyes, and he glanced at Qiao Chengyun: "Treasurer Qiao, you forgot the agreement between us!"

Qiao Chengyun narrowed his small eyes as if he didn't see the expression on the shopkeeper Jin's face, and smiled cheerfully: "Yes, yes, we only talk about money and nothing else. I will never mention this matter in the future!"

Shopkeeper Jin glanced at the carriage behind him: "No wonder so many people like Jiangnan in Dalong. The scenery is pleasant and the weather is warm. Although the land of Dajin is fertile, it is mostly a bitter cold place. Compared with the land of fish and rice It's still a lot worse!"

After listening to shopkeeper Jin's exclamation, Qiao Chengyun showed a hint of embarrassment: "This sentence is not bad, the roads are blocked by heavy snow in the north, and the south of the Yangtze River is just a little cold at night. To be honest, if it is not for making money, fools are willing to go north Wouldn't it be nice to be at home drinking wine and hugging my concubine? After finishing this business, the old man also plans to take a rest. After the spring of the new year, he will continue to go to northern Xinjiang. It's too cold !"

"I'm here to congratulate Shopkeeper Qiao on his prosperous business. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the coming year!"

"For sure, there will be such a profitable business in the future. You can take care of my brother more, and my brother will definitely not lose your benefits. It makes sense for everyone to earn money together!"

Shopkeeper Jin glanced at Qiao Chengyun and shook his head with a strange smile: "Treasurer Qiao understands the principle of the long flow of water, which is rare!"

"Life can't be tactful in this world. This old man must become Liu Zhi'an of Xishan, so that everyone in the world will know me, Qiao Chengyun. If people don't live for fame and fortune, they will come to this world for nothing!"

Shopkeeper Jin suddenly raised his hand: "Stop!"

The order was passed down one by one. The caravan of more than a thousand people stopped immediately, and several people around the carriage looked at the treasurer Jin in doubt.

A majestic voice came from inside the carriage: "Jinke, what's wrong?"

Shopkeeper Jin got off his horse and walked to the carriage: "My lord, something is wrong!"

"Something's wrong? I've traveled thousands of miles from Beidi to Jiangnan, what's wrong?"

Shopkeeper Jin walked around the official road and listened quietly for a while, his face became more severe: "My lord, the surrounding quietness is a bit too much. When I just left the city, there were nightingales and owls, but now the surroundings are completely silent, even the insects are singing. There is no sound!"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a majestic man got out and jumped off the carriage, glanced around and frowned.

"Something's wrong, but we're going to the place soon, hurry up and wait until we reach the boundary of Guibei Mountain! How far is it from Guibei Mountain?"

"Twenty miles!"

"Then hurry up, this batch of supplies can't make any mistakes."

"Encircle!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded endlessly on the official road, and dense torches suddenly appeared in the dense forest around the official road, followed by the sound of shouting and killing.

"No, there is an ambush, run away!"

"If you want to escape, ask Grandpa about the knife in his hand!"

"Lord, be careful!"

The shopkeeper Jin pushed away the majestic middle-aged man, drew out a machete from under the hem of his clothes on the back, and drew it in the murderous direction.

When there was a clatter of gold and sword, the treasurers Song Qing and Jin retreated a few steps before stopping.

More than 1000 caravans stood around the goods in a hurry, trembling all over.

"Hold your head and squat down!"

Han Peng led a thousand cavalry to quickly surround the caravan, and the official road that had only a glimmer of moonlight immediately brightened.

"Hold your head and squat down, and those who resist will be killed!"

A thousand cavalrymen circled the caravan non-stop, and shopkeeper Qiao's fat body was so frightened that he got under the carriage and trembled against the wheels.

More than 50 people dressed as coachmen guarding the middle-aged man drew their weapons from under the goods and stared at the army in full swing.

The middle-aged man looked at Song Qing who was fighting with the treasurer Jin in horror: "We are a caravan that has paid taxes and has customs clearance documents, who are you who dare to stop us, not afraid of being blamed by Dalong's government and Are you?"

Cheng Kai held a horizontal knife and led the pawns to surround him from the dense forest where the leaves had fallen completely: "Hehe, you know a lot!"

"stop!"

When Young Master Liu's voice came, Song Qing retracted the knife and retreated. The shopkeeper Jin watched Song Qing while sweeping towards Young Master Liu's voice.

Liu Mingzhi got off his horse and walked to the middle-aged man about ten steps away with full armor and stopped: "Where are you in the caravan? Who is the leader of the caravan? What supplies are the caravan transporting?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Mingzhi: "General, we are a caravan from Xishan, the leader is Qiao Yuanwai, Qiao Chengyun, and what we are transporting is... some leather goods, food and a small amount of weapons traded from the northern Xinjiang exchange market to the guards at home. The courtyard is equipped to guard against thieves! We are all serious businessmen who have paid taxes and inspected all the government along the way! Please learn from the general!"

Liu Mingzhi looked sideways at the middle-aged man: "You are not a dragon!"

The middle-aged man frowned, knowing that he couldn't deny it, and nodded lightly: "Exactly, Cao Min is a businessman from the Kingdom of Jin. This time, he came to Dalong to sell tea and silk with Shopkeeper Qiao!"

"Where is Shopkeeper Joe?"

"Caomin is here. Here!"

Qiao Chengyun's trembling voice came from under the carriage.

Liu Mingzhi took the torch from his personal guard and squatted on the ground to look at Qiao Chengyun's obese body under the carriage: "Master Qiao?"

"Reporting to my lord, it is the grass-roots people!"

"Come out and talk, what are you doing under the carriage?"

"Grassmen... still... thought they were robbers!"

"So that's the case. Since the shopkeeper Qiao is so afraid of robbers, why does he have to travel at night? You must know that the night in the south of the Yangtze River is not so safe!"

"The owner of the goods is in a hurry. If you are late, you will have to pay [-]% less money. The grass people have no choice but to do it. They are thinking about whether they can rush to the owner's place smoothly. Don't worry if you meet the officers and soldiers led by the adults!"

"Oh, you'll feel more at ease in a while!"
