Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 55
Speaking of this, Pan Yunpeng showed a smug smile on his face, but soon, the smile disappeared.

Because he knew very well how the Shunfeng Escort got its current status.

It's really boring to show off this in front of the partners of the League...

After reacting, Pan Yunpeng was a little embarrassed, and immediately changed the subject: "Brother Fu, there is one thing I have been curious about, but I couldn't find a chance to ask it out. Now that I have left the city, I can know that you entrusted me to transport it." What exactly is the shipment?"

After speaking, Pan Yunpeng quickly added: "Of course, if you can't say it, then forget it."

Lin Zhongtian leaned back on the cushion and said with a smile: "There is nothing we can't say, that is, the seeds in the seed bank of Shanglin Yuanjian, some grown crops, and the medical books compiled by Taiyuan Hospital, Xu Guangqi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion The translated "Original Geometry" and the first draft of "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Sweet Potato Shu", "Nongyi Miscellaneous Shu" and so on."

"..."

Pan Yunpeng's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

Lin Zhongtian paused for a moment, and said with emotion: "There are so many good things in the capital. I only have one person, and I really can't finish them all. When you can come to the capital in a fair manner, you must go there again!"

Pan Yunpeng regained his composure, and said with a light smile, "Brother Fu was joking, when I can come to the capital in a fair manner, it means that the entire capital is already in my pocket."

"Since it's in the bag, why bother?"

"makes sense."

Lin Zhongtian nodded.

Doctor Zhang, who had been listening quietly beside him, looked excited at the moment. He held back for a while, but still couldn't hold back.

"Mr. Fu, you said just now that there are medical books compiled by the Tai Hospital in the past?"

"..." Lin Zhongtian and Pan Yunpeng looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Uncle, are you tempted?"

"That's too hospital!"

Seeing that his thoughts were broken by Lin Zhongtian, Dr. Zhang became calmer, and said solemnly: "There are thirteen medical departments under the Imperial Hospital, and each department has a master Xinglin with exquisite medical skills. I am ashamed to say that this old man has practiced medicine so far It has been 43 years, and I have worshiped no fewer than ten teachers, but only the teaching of the former imperial hospital envoy has benefited me the most."

"Now that I have the opportunity to read the works of these Xinglin sages, I will naturally be moved."

Lin Zhongtian nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry. When we get to the place, these medical books will be collected by you. I just hope that uncle can put aside his sectarianism and teach medical skills to students who are interested in this in the future."

Doctor Zhang was slightly taken aback, recalling what Zhao Lihe had said to him, he couldn't help asking: "You want to open a medical school?"

Pan Yunpeng nodded: "I have this plan, but I don't know if Uncle Zhang is willing to take over."

Doctor Zhang looked solemn, straightened his robes, cupped his hands and said: "I will stick to my wish, I dare not ask for my ear."

……

……

In this era when transportation is all based on legs and horses, traveling far is a very hard and tiring thing.

The time spent is often calculated on a monthly basis, especially when there are more than a dozen carriages full of goods in the convoy, and there are hundreds of escorts, this time will be extended several times.

With such a huge escort team, ordinary bandits naturally dare not touch it lightly.

But even so, Pan Yunpeng still dealt with the green forest heroes in strict accordance with the rules of darts like his father did.

Just like now, the bodyguard team passed through a dense forest, and immediately left the official road and entered it.

According to Pan Yunpeng, there is a secret shortcut in this mountain forest, which is only known to caravans and bodyguards who often take this path.

Although the mountain road is relatively narrow, it can barely accommodate a carriage and two bodyguards, but if you pass here, you can save at least fifty miles of travel.

The only thing to pay attention to is the mountain next to it.

I heard that there is a village on this mountain, and there is a great king in the village, the bandit is known as Shaking the Mountain Tiger, and he is good at wielding a mace. He claims to have three thousand children. Any caravan passing through here will inevitably be blackmailed by him.

Lin Zhongtian asked curiously: "Then Shanshanhu really has three thousand sons under his command?"

Pan Yunpeng smiled and said: "Of course not. Last time I passed by here, Shashanhu invited me to go up to the mountain for a drink. I didn't agree. It was Uncle Liu who went up the mountain for me to have a banquet. When I was having a drink, Uncle Liu took the opportunity to observe The size of the cottage is estimated to be only five or six hundred people, and this is counting the women, children, old and weak in the cottage, if only middle-aged men are counted, it would be good to have a man in his early [-]s!"

"...there are still women, children, old and weak in the cottage?"

"That's right." Pan Yunpeng sighed, "I've made a clear investigation a long time ago. Three years ago, the earth dragon turned around here, and a nearby village suffered serious damage. It seemed that it was going to die. Hu Fafa discovered this commercial road, so he invited his father and fellow villagers to go up the mountain to become a bandit, making a living by robbing roads and hunting."

While saying this, Pan Yunpeng quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the bodyguard around him.

The bodyguard took the letter, took three brocade boxes, and went up the mountain with his two companions.

Lin Zhongtian looked curiously with a supercilious perspective, and found that the first brocade box contained three ingots of white silver, the second brocade box contained two bolts of red silk and satin, and the third brocade box contained an altar of clear silver. fine wine.

Three gifts, not too heavy, but definitely not light.

As if seeing Lin Zhongtian's curiosity, Pan Yunpeng explained with a smile: "Silver, silk and fine wine are the rules of worshiping mountains and borrowing roads set by my Shunfeng Bodyguard Agency and the other three major bodyguard agencies in the capital. Silver is borrowing money to buy roads. Giving the silver means that the other party is willing to give way, and the silk and satin are gifts for women and children in the cottage, and receiving the silk and satin means that the other party is willing to make friends with us."

"As for fine wine, ordinary bandits are unwilling to take it, because taking fine wine represents a deeper friendship, and requires the other party to send people to escort us all the way. If something happens to us in the other party's territory, the other party must also help."

"Of course, this kind of friendship and responsibility is mutual. If there are friends from the mountain who come to the capital in the future, they can go to my Shunfeng Escort Bureau as a guest. If there is a purchase demand on the mountain, the bodyguard team is also obliged to trade with the cottage, and the price should not be too high. The prices in nearby counties shall prevail..."

Pan Yunpeng explained clearly.

Lin Zhongtian listened with gusto.

At this moment, the three bodyguards who went up the mountain came back empty-handed, indicating that the other party had accepted all three gifts.

Lin Zhongtian glanced over the three bodyguards, and found that behind them were four burly men and a young woman with a delicate face and a long blue dress who didn't look like a bandit.

When they came in front of the convoy, the four strong men and the young woman stopped in their tracks.

The three bodyguards walked up to Pan Yunpeng, clasped their fists and said, "The head of the bodyguard, the silver, silk and fine wine, are all accepted by the stockade, and Shan Shanhu sent five people to follow us down the mountain, in order to trade goods with the bodyguard team."

Pan Yunpeng asked casually, "What do they want?"

The bodyguard had a strange expression on his face: "Food, cloth, farm tools... and books."

Pan Yunpeng was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Lin Zhongtian next to him, and asked in surprise, "Book?"

The bodyguard leaned over his head and lowered his voice, "It was suggested by that young woman."

Pan Yunpeng glanced at the young woman calmly and asked, "Did you find anything?"

The bodyguard nodded and said in a low voice: "Hands are rough and have new injuries. The wrists are delicate and the back of the neck is white and tender. They should have only started doing rough work in the past few months. I guess, there is a high probability that it was about half a year ago. The daughter of a rich family who was kidnapped to the mountain."

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Zhongtian looked at the bodyguard in surprise, as if he didn't expect this rough guy to have such a delicate mind.

Pan Yunpeng was used to such scenes, nodded, said "I see", and walked towards the young woman.
