NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79
Chapter 79: Misunderstand
Li Baolu and the others bought a mule and an open-top cart. They wrapped the purchased tea and ham in oil cloth and tied them in the middle of the cart. The group climbed into the mule cart and drove to the capital day and night. .
The mule has the greatest speed, strength and endurance among all livestock, so Li Baolu was willing to spend five taels more to give up the donkey and mule for a mule.
Out of distress for the jujube thrown in Guangxin Mansion, Li Baolu insisted on naming the new mule jujube to pay homage to their master-servant relationship that ended just after the beginning.
Li Baolu and Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu took turns driving. Unless they wanted to eat and have convenience, they would only stop at the three or so hours when they were sleeping at night.
After such a high-intensity journey, not only did the red dates lose a lot of weight, but the group of people who could only sit and couldn’t walk also lost weight, but the speed was gratifying.
They arrived in Baoding from Jinhua Mansion in only ten days. If they keep on the road at this speed, they will be able to reach the capital tomorrow evening.
But both Gu Jingyun and Li An proposed to stay in Baoding for two more days.
Li An said with a smile: “It’s the first time you’ve come to a city in the north. Why don’t you have to see and experience, otherwise, wouldn’t it be in vain? And the goods in our hands will also be sold.”
Gu Jingyun is much more direct, “Our game in Jinhua should now have a result. Whether we succeed or fail, we always have to know what to do, so that we can deal with the next thing well.”
But this kind of secret can’t be inquired by the outside world, so Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu are idle, but Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu run out every day.
They not only had to inquire about news, but also mobilized guards to **** them into Beijing.
This is the last stop in Beijing. Everything is fine. If there is an accident, they have to prepare in advance.
Their forces are very close to here, and it will be easy to deploy troops, not as difficult as in the south.
Li Baolu took Gu Jingyun out to inspect the market after she was free. The money they brought from Qiongzhou was running out. They had to do so many things next. They also had to prepare some medicinal materials when He Zipei was pregnant, so they were short of money.
Since he has been doing business along the way, Li Baolu naturally wants to carry forward this way of making money.
He sold the tea and ham in his hand, and after earning nearly double the money, he began to plan the next business.
The capital is not only the political center of Da Chu, but also the economic center, where goods from all over the country gather, Baoding has an advantage over other places is its distance from the capital.
So the most popular goods in Baoding in Beijing are vegetables and flowers.
Beijing has more people and less land, so land is expensive. Even in the suburbs of Beijing, the price of the land is more than three times that of Baoding.
Because there are many people, and there are many rich and powerful people, it is inevitable that they like elegance. No matter what era, flowers are a way to express elegance.
Therefore, there are many flower farmers in Baoding. Once the flowers are planted, they are transplanted into flowerpots and then sold to the capital. If you can grow mutant flower seeds and find the right buyer, a single flower can make a family eat and drink for three lifetimes.
Anyway, the most famous specialty of Baoding in the capital is flowers!
But a mule cart can hold 20 or 30 pots when it is dead, and that can only be achieved by the help of experienced flower farmers.
For the sake of money, Li Baolu resolutely drove the four adults off the mule cart, packed the potted plants, and headed quietly to the capital.
The four of Li An walked on both sides of the mule cart and escorted the mule cart to the capital.
Li Baolu was driving the mule cart, praying in her heart, “Don’t have an accident on the road, get to the capital safely…”
Gu Jingyun put Li Baolu’s bow and crossbow in his hand. He glanced at the potted plants on the car and said, “I asked you to choose some cheap ones, and even if it is broken in the end, you will pay less.”
Li Baolu gritted her teeth and said, “Let Li An make up for it.”
Gu Jingyun nodded, “I’ll talk to him.”
The voice just fell, and the sound of horses’ hooves came from behind. Li Baolu hurriedly drove the mule cart to avoid to the side, and the pedestrians on the road also avoided, and saw a group of two dozen strong men galloping past. The dust that was lifted fascinated people’s eyes, and everyone was dissatisfied, but they dared not to speak out.
Who knew that this group of people walked away not long ago, but turned around and blocked in front of everyone. The pair of eyes at the head swept towards them, and all the adult men present were stopped and raised their heads one by one.
Li An’s eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed his head slightly as he learned from the fear of the person beside him. When he was stopped, he raised his head helplessly.
The man just glanced at him and let him go, and continued to look for someone.
Li An then lowered his head slightly, and he just saw the saddle under the man’s seat. It was the saddle of Xishan Camp in the capital. It was improved by the Ministry of Industry and supervised by the Ministry of Housing. It was a unique saddle in Xishan Camp.
Are some people selling saddles privately, or are these people from the Xishan Camp?
The headed man frowned and checked the crowd. He couldn’t find the person he was looking for. He couldn’t help but feel displeased. It was all smeared on Li Baolu’s face.
She could not help narrowing her eyes slightly, trying to block the dust with her eyelashes. Gu Jingyun frowned, her fists clenched tightly, and she lowered her eyes to bear it.
The man didn’t pay attention to the two little kids beside him, he raised his hand and said gruffly, “Let’s go.”
The group of left quickly, but it seemed that a strange switch had been turned on. Within two hours after the pedestrian left, three groups of people came to stop them for inspection.
The people on the road began to speculate in panic, “Could it be that something big happened in the capital?”
“Great Chu has been in peace for a long time, and the world is at peace. What big things can happen?”
Someone lowered his voice and guessed: “Is it about to change, the emperor is not too young.”
Under the emperor’s feet, no matter how ignorant people are, they are more politically conscious than other places, so don’t open your mind too much, and don’t speak too sharply.
“Oh, that’s a mess. I heard that the prince’s health is not good, and the emperor doesn’t love him either.”
“What does it matter? He is both the eldest son and the eldest son, but he is orthodox. Unless the emperor decrees, who can compete with him?”
“You can’t say that. The emperor is gone, so whoever has the bigger fist will listen to whoever has the bigger fist. No matter how well-known he is, he must have the ability to sit in that position…”
After listening to the gossip for a while, Li An said with a black line on his face: “Who said the people are so stupid? I think they are smarter than me…”
Wei Yingjie swept his eyes around the field and whispered: “Young Master Shen Yan, some of the new recruits have suspicious behavior, and the people who meet us haven’t arrived yet…”
Li An immediately closed his mouth and followed the mule cart.
Wei Yingjie pulled him and walked two steps quickly, pushing him onto the mule cart with half push and half support, sitting right next to Li Baolu.
He smiled honestly and said in a low voice, “Brother, your body is not strong yet, so don’t get tired of sitting with your eldest niece for a while.”
looked at Li Baolu in a corner that no one could see.
Li Baolu glanced at him and moved her **** to Gu Jingyun’s side, “Dad, sit inside, I asked you to come up and sit together, how are you?”
Li installed a weak cough, nodded and said, “It doesn’t matter.”
A few people in gray clothes in the crowd glanced at Li An and stopped looking.
With a sallow face and wrinkled corners of his eyes, he looks like he is in his forties, and is described as sloppy, which is very different from the person they are looking for.
Li An was a little apologetic, because he said when the news from the capital passed to them yesterday, that although the two children still need to travel along the road, they don’t need them to protect him anymore.
Because the next level of ferocity is no longer as simple as a group of men in black chasing and killing, even if Li Baolu is outstanding, she can’t be completely sure to protect herself and Gu Jingyun, let alone add another him.
Li An did not expect that the letter he sent from Jinhua Mansion would be so useful. Not only did he open a gap before Grandpa Huang and Uncle Four, but also Grandpa Huang reprimanded Fourth Uncle for three consecutive days.
Of course, this also puts him on the cusp of the storm. At least the fourth uncle will kill him at all costs after knowing that he is the culprit.
Li An admits that he is not shameless enough to know that he will die and drag two children to die together, so yesterday they agreed that although the group is still on the road together, Li Baolu only needs to protect Gu Jingyun in case of danger.
And the four of them, of course they have someone to support!
is already at the door of the house, will Li An still stand and be bullied?
Since the fourth uncle can send a large number of troops, of course he will also assemble a large number of troops to receive them.
Originally wanted to wait in Baoding until the person who came to help them arrived before setting off, but who knew that those men in black actually found Jinhua Mansion based on the origin of the letter, and then found Baoding.
In order not to be made dumplings, they had to rush out of the city today.
Li Baolu said that he bought these flowers and trees so as not to waste an opportunity to make money, but he knew that everything was to cover him.
Li Baolu didn’t know that Li An, who was sitting beside her, “misunderstood” her, but she felt that his face was strange and thought he was worried, so she couldn’t help comforting him: “Don’t be afraid, the big deal is that I will take you and Brother Yun to hide in the mountains. ”
After all, if this car of flowers and trees is affected, he will have to compensate him, so it’s not good to leave him behind.
Ang Lee was even more moved.
Gu Jingyun coughed lightly and glanced at Li An, he always felt that Li An seemed to have misunderstood something.
