"Are you from King Wu?"
In a short time, Luo Chenglong followed his men to the pass, waved the riding whip in his hand, pointed at Li Wenshan and asked.
"Report to the general, this is the villain!"
Li Wenshan hurriedly came up to salute. After all, at this time, sending the money in hand to His Highness the Crown Prince was the top priority. As for other things, they were just minutiae. It would be better to do less than to do more.
"What are the things you sent this time? Open it and let me, the general, take a look!"
Luo Chenglong had already received the news, and there would be nothing else except money. However, he wanted to set a trap for them, so he pretended to do so.
"That's not okay, General. There are seals from His Highness King Wu on them. If the seals are torn off, we won't be able to explain when we get there..."
Li Wenshan looked at Luo Chenglong with a troubled face. Luo Chenglong didn't care about this.
"I said, if you don't open this thing, how can I, the general, give you a valuation? As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains and rivers to depend on the people, you will lose your head if you go against the king's orders. We brothers must know that you are What on earth is this thing?”
Looking at Luo Chenglong's look, Li Wenshan finally understood that this guy was trying to raise the price.
But now, everyone is a knife and a fish, and if they open the box and see a car full of money, who knows what they will do. If this guy sets up an army to rob, I will really be in trouble now. Not coming out.
"General, general, we have something to talk about. As long as we don't open the box, how much money will we need? Just tell us..."
As expected, Luo Chenglong's face immediately brightened after hearing what Li Wenshan said.
"If that's the case, then the price is too high. If you have any contraband in it, we brothers will be responsible. You should understand this..."
Luo Chenglong looked businesslike. Seeing his appearance, Li Wenshan also knew that he was going to be killed this time.
"General, just make your price. As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to it. But please understand, General, that I'm just a small bodyguard, and my power is really limited..."
Li Wenshan was also afraid that this guy would raise prices all over the place, so he quickly added another sentence.
"Don't worry, you won't have to live with us these days. We are absolutely innocent. You have so many things, and I will charge you 8,000 copper coins. What do you think?"
Damn it!
Li Wenshan almost jumped up. This guy was too shady. He was just passing a test, but he actually asked for 8,000 copper coins. According to what he said, when he delivered the things, he would probably spend a lot of money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"General, this little guy is really in trouble. After all, he is just a small bodyguard. He came to give something to the Crown Prince. He really can't get 8,000 copper coins..."
The asking price was so high that of course he had to pay it back on the spot. The two immediately started bargaining fiercely.
In any case, Luo Chenglong and the others were doing a business without capital. After the two parties discussed for a long time, the deal was concluded at a price of 6,000 guan.
After handing over 6,000 yuan of money from Luo Chenglong, he got a document from him. Looking at the thin piece of parchment, Li Wenshan sighed for a while.
Damn it, isn’t this thing too expensive?
But no matter what, we have finally entered the territory of Dai Country, and the rest of the things will be much easier to handle.
The convoy finally hit the road again. Luo Chenglong watched them leave from behind, and then ordered people to release two homing pigeons directly.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Li Wenshan felt really anxious.
After all, this is the country of Dai. The poor mountains and rivers in the territory are full of unruly people. Who knows if some heroes will pop up here to block the road and rob?
Their car should be full of real money, and there are no marks on it. If someone robbed it, he would really have no place to cry.
"Master Manager, there is a small town twenty miles ahead. It's called Qixia Town. Do you think we should rush to the town overnight or sleep here?"
It is not easy to walk at night. The official roads in Daiguo are in disrepair and the terrain is steep. There are cliffs next to the roads. Walking during the day is just fine, but at night it is really difficult, especially for people like them. It's all about riding horses.
If you don't pay attention, you may fall into the ravine with the man and the horse. You can't see the depth of the cliff. If you fall down, you may not even be able to find your whole body.
"Well, let's light up the torches and rush to the town ahead to spend the night tonight. Everyone, please slow down and pay attention to safety!"
While Li Wenshan and his group were trekking hard, Du Ziteng got a homing pigeon in his hands.
"Brothers, our chance to make a meritorious deed has come. Come with me, and let's go search for private goods!"
A few days ago, Du Ziteng led 3,000 troops and secretly came to Qixia Town, which is the only place to pass from Wu State to Jinyang.
"promise!"
Seeing these three thousand soldiers, Du Ziteng felt proud in his heart.
Just a few dozen days ago, he was just a small guard, and now he can lead 3,000 soldiers. Although it is only temporary, for him, this is already a huge improvement.
This is the king's trust in him. If this job is done well, maybe one day the king will be happy and he will really get the title of captain.
"Reporting to the general, a convoy is coming ahead!"
"Set up your formation and stop them!"
Du Ziteng felt that his hands were itchy, very itchy. This was a good opportunity for him to become famous!
From a distance, Li Wenshan also saw the queue of people in front of him, but the terrain on the official road was dangerous and could only accommodate two carriages driving side by side. At this time, it was too late for him to turn around even if he wanted to.
"Leshan, you kid, go over and see what's going on!"
Li Wenshan was a little uneasy. Wasn't something going to happen again? If something really happened, he couldn't afford it.
"promise!"
Hearing what Li Wenshan said, Luo Shan quickly got on his horse and rode forward.
"Reporting to the general manager, there is an army in front of them. It seems that they are checking the passing convoy..."
Hearing what Leshan said, Li Wenshan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. What should he do?
But thinking about the scrap paper he bought for 6,000 copper coins and looking at the dark sky, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
