As the wine entered his throat, Bai Ze felt relaxed all over his body. Yu Youwei looked at the meals Bai Ze had cooked by himself on the stone table, with a combination of meat and vegetables, three dishes and one soup. The soup is fish soup, with a thick white color, sprinkled with finely chopped green onion, and the combination of green and white gives people a pleasing feeling.
"The master's craftsmanship looks good." Yu Youwei said, scooping up a bowl of fish soup and taking a sip. The soup was delicious. "It tastes even better."
"Thank you for the compliment." Bai Ze said.
"Actually, Youwei has one more thing to do during this trip." Yu Youwei said and poured wine for Baize.
"I wonder what's going on?" Bai Ze asked.
"This time there is a war between Heyang City and the Weicheng family, I think the young master must know about it." Yu Youwei said, "A few days ago, the Grand Duke sent someone to the Chamber of Commerce and said that he had invited the alchemist from the Medicine Master Pavilion to go to the battlefield to treat the injured soldiers. But unfortunately the military camp’s reserves of medicine are not enough, so the Chamber of Commerce needs to send people to escort some medicinal materials to the Heyang camp.”
"What do you mean, girl?" Bai Ze asked.
"Business during the war is the best and most difficult to do." Yu Youwei said, "The Chamber of Commerce will definitely make a small profit from delivering the medicine. But what worries Youwei is the manpower used by the Chamber of Commerce to escort the medicine. Not enough. Once there is a problem with the medicine on the way to Heyang Daying, the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to do business. I am afraid that the Grand Duke will blame it, and it will be difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to gain a foothold in Heyang City in the future."
"I see." Bai Ze smiled and said, "It just so happens that the Crown Prince and the Princess are also fighting against Weicheng on the front line of Heyang Camp. This time I can also drop by to see my two friends. When will we set off?"
It is rude to come and go without reciprocating. Since Bai Ze had collected Yu Youwei's things twice, it was impossible for him not to help her with this matter. That would be too unreasonable.
"Without further delay, we will set off early tomorrow morning." Yu Youwei said, looking at Bai Ze's eyes with a smile, "With the young master here along the way, I think it will be much smoother."
"The girl is joking." Bai Ze laughed and said: "The girl's cultivation is unfathomable. Whether Bai Ze is there or not, with the girl's ability, she will be able to safely deliver the medicinal materials to the frontline camp."
Yu Youwei smiled but said nothing.
This is indeed true. But without using this to trap Bai Ze, how could she find out the details of Bai Ze and understand the secrets of this little guy?
The two of them had their own thoughts. After finishing their dinner in the snowy night, Yu Youwei didn't stay too long. He held up the paper umbrella and disappeared at the end of the alleyway with the fine snow in the sky.
Bai Ze stood in front of the courtyard door, quietly watching the girl's back holding an umbrella as she left for a long time, then entered the door, closed the door, chuckled, and said: "Yu Youwei, Yu Youwei. What is your purpose?"
…
Without further ado, early the next morning, Bai Ze put on a large cloak, wielded two swords, and rode directly to the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce is obviously well prepared. There is currently a carriage leading the team. There are nearly twenty cargo carriages in the entire convoy. Only half of the people in the Chamber of Commerce are people recruited by the mercenary organization in the west of the city. The remaining people are nearly 100 people escorting the medicinal materials. two hundred.
"Mr. Baize, Youwei has been waiting for you for a long time." Yu Youwei took the lead, dressed in a riding uniform, wearing a fox fur, and tied up with three thousand black hair, looking like a chivalrous woman.
But Bai Ze knew that this girl's strength might have touched the threshold of the Supreme, or even higher.
The mortal realm and the extraordinary realm are two worlds. The sea of suffering, the other side, and Zhiwei, the monks in these three small realms are still just third-rate characters struggling in the world of mortals. If they want to reach the top of the world of Jiuzhou and enter the extraordinary world, flying 30,000 miles with air control is just the beginning.
Only those on the other side can control objects. Flying with a sword is a thankless task, and the speed is not as fast as that of a monk running at full strength. After all, flying with a sword requires the weight of the sword user, so it is a low-end air flight.
Only when Zhiwei wielded the sword could he barely manage to take the head of the sword ten miles away. But if you want to take the head of a general among thousands of armies, only the Supreme One can give it a try.
"Wait a minute." Bai Ze clasped his fists, "May I ask, girl, when will we set off?"
"Now." Yu Youwei said.
The Chamber of Commerce set off with a full load of medicinal materials needed for the frontline battlefield. The convoy took the Heyang City Road. Lu Qian, the acting guardian, rode up to see him off in person. He also equipped the convoy with a hundred light cavalry to escort the young master of the Chamber of Commerce to the Heyang camp.
"This trip is a service to my young master." Lu Qian handed over his hand and said to the leader of the convoy, Yu Youwei, "After this battle, the negotiation between Heyang City and the Chamber of Commerce will be held as scheduled. At that time, the city lord will offer conditions that satisfy the young master's family."
"How can Youwei neglect the matter of win-win cooperation?" Yu Youwei handed over his hand, "Master Lu, please."
"Please!" Lu Qian watched as the convoy left the city and headed straight for Weicheng.
The snow has stopped, but the road is not easy to walk. The convoy of the Chamber of Commerce is loaded with medicinal materials, and the tracks are deep in the snow. It is stable when walking, but once it slips, it means it will definitely roll over.
Chamber of Commerce, mercenaries, and city lord's mansion guards. The three parties escorted the medicinal materials to the Heyang Camp. The Chamber of Commerce was led by Yu Youwei, and the leader of the mercenaries was a rugged man, Zhang Hu. As for the hundred light cavalry of the city lord's palace, Yu Wenhe, a silver-armored military academy captain, took the lead.
There were three parties: the chamber of commerce controlled the carriage, mercenaries accompanied the carriage and were responsible for the rear, and a hundred light cavalry were responsible for exploring the road and protecting Yu Youwei's safety.
Bai Ze saw in his eyes that this was nothing more than Lu Qianliu's trick to make Yu Wenhe keep an eye on Yu Youwei. But that day on the Qinghe River, Yu Youwei pointed a fire tornado that could reach the sky and kill the prince Mu Chen in an instant. There is a small captain in the Silver Armor Army, and his rank is lower than that of Lu Zheng's commander. How can he be careful?
If this woman had her heart, the entire escort team could be destroyed by her alone.
The convoy walked for two days, and the sky became dark again. In the evening of this day, Bai Ze and his party of 300 people passed by the boundary of Yucheng. Yu Youwei, Yu Wenhe and Zhang Hu discussed it and prepared to rest at a nearby post station and start their journey again early tomorrow morning.
"At this speed, it will probably take three days to reach the front line of Weicheng." Zhang Hu rode on his horse, half a horse's head away from Yu Youwei, and said, "I thought that the road was blocked by heavy snow and it would be difficult for the convoy to advance, but I didn't expect that the road would be so It’s hard to walk.”
"The road is naturally difficult to walk." Yu You smiled.
"Young master, there seems to be something behind your words?" Yu Wenhe frowned, his standard silver armor was frozen by the cold winter, and asked after hearing this.
"Haha." Yu Youwei didn't answer. The convoy was half a mile away. She never got into the leading carriage, so there was only Qing'er in the car and the weird coachman driving the car.
"Mr. Bai Ze, Youwei heard that although the young master is young, he is quite knowledgeable in Taoist arts. I wonder what you think of him?" Yu Youwei glanced at Bai Ze behind him, his eyebrows shining brightly.
If Bai Ze hadn't always been wary of this girl, I'm afraid this one glance would have made him fascinated.
Bai Ze was secretly alarmed. Ever since he and Yu Youwei left the city two days ago and slept in the open air along the way, although they were traveling together, apart from occasional conversations on the road, Bai Ze practicing swordplay while camping, and Yu Youwei's spur-of-the-moment advice, there was no interaction between the two.
There was some contact between the two, but it was far from being close. But Bai Ze was vaguely aware that his feelings for Yu Youwei were becoming more and more subtle, and he couldn't figure out the reason. The "Chun Yang Zhen Sutra" he cultivated follows the natural path of Taoism, and his Taoist heart is firm. Logically speaking, a stable mind cannot be provoked by a few words, but how to explain Yu Youwei's subtle feeling now?
Bai Ze felt more and more that this woman was weird and abnormal, almost evil.
You must know that in this world, power systems are complex. On the human side alone, there are the three major power systems of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, including the strange witchcraft of southern Xinjiang, the celestial and star power system of the giants, the earth spirit power system of the small humans, and so on.
The power system of the spirit beasts and magical beasts of the orc clan, the demon element power system of the demon clan, the immortal energy system of the legendary immortals, and the most bizarre and unpredictable demon clan and heavenly demon power training system in Kyushu.
Different sects and power systems will never be said to be mixed. Just the Tao sect has three pillars, Tao heart, Tao intention, and Tao Qi. This is still the main branch of the Taoist sect. The other branches of the Taoist sect, such as Tuiming and Tianyan, have their own mysteries in their cultivation systems.
This is especially true for Buddhism and Confucianism.
If Yu Youwei is not a human being, the alien's cultivation system must be just like human beings, complicated and complex - there is no demonic energy fluctuation in her body, isn't this weird?
"Mr. Baize?" Yu Youwei saw that Bai Ze was in a daze and asked again. Zhang Hu and Yu Wenhe both turned back to look at the young man. Zhang Hu had no impression of Bai Ze, but Yu Wenhe was different. He knew that the young man had a close relationship with the Crown Prince, and seemed to have some inexplicable involvement with the princess.
The most important thing is that the princess in front of her, who was surrounded and killed by the Du family in Dushan, was brought back to Heyang City safely.
Therefore, Zhang Hu may have doubts about Yu Youwei's superior opinion of Bai Ze, but Yu Wenhe has no doubts at all. He knew in his heart that Bai Ze had the qualifications to be looked upon by the Young Master of the Chamber of Commerce.
"The journey of fifty miles out of the city has been smooth." Bai Ze came back to his senses, looked calm, and said, "But after that, the road became more and more difficult, and the reason was nothing but the wind and snow. But this road is a river. The only official road behind Yang Daying, the transportation of heavy baggage all takes this road."
"So what?" Zhang Hu asked.
"I heard that a few days ago, the large siege equipment manufactured by Heyang City and used to attack Weicheng has been shipped out." Bai Ze said, "The large siege equipment eats so much snow that the ruts may directly Pressed down to the ground of the official road. Logically speaking, the snow on the road that the transport troops walked on should have been flattened long ago. Even if there is still snow later, it will not be as difficult for us to walk as it is now."
"You mean, the team transporting siege equipment was attacked halfway?" Zhang Hu asked.
"No." Yu Wenhe rejected it flatly, "If there was an attack, would the transport team be helpless? There are no traces of fighting along the way, which means that the transport team has not been attacked at least before getting here."
"Why is that?" Zhang Hu looked at Bai Ze and couldn't figure it out.
