He said bitterly: "Jiu Chao, you belong to the broom, you are unlucky wherever you go."
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't open the tavern, and I didn't raise the wolf."
"..."
Meng Sui was speechless and suppressed laughter among several other people. They lowered their heads like a quail, and their bodies were shaking silently.
The dignified King of Han Dynasty was sold to a small shop and almost became a famous figure.
It's not the most important thing to say that it's embarrassing, the important thing is that no one believes it.
Chen Gui was already thinking about how to artistically process this matter when he went back, compile it into a play and sell it to the troupe to sing. If he couldn't keep it, he became famous overnight and became the most sought-after scribe in Chang'an City.
For several days in a row, Xie Mengxia did not dare to go out. She was so suffocated in the house that she kept spinning around like a headless fly. She was so angry that she had aphthous sores in her mouth. Whenever she spoke, she was in terrible pain. .
Except for that night, Han Changmu couldn't help himself, and did some extraordinary actions, but in the end it was more about emotion than etiquette.
Yao Yao felt much more at ease when facing Han Changmu. When the two of them got along, they were getting better and better, and they had a tacit understanding.
Xie Mengxia smiled even more meaningfully, and was already secretly planning what kind of wedding gift he would prepare for Han Changmu after returning to Beijing.
Only Gu Chen was a little strange. He joked less and had a bad temper. When he opened his mouth, he would lash out angrily, and he could hit someone eight feet away.
Meng Sui, a few people away, was confused by Gu Chen's remarks. He touched his forehead and refused to argue with him.
On the fourth day, not long after the morning meal, several people gathered in Xie Mengxia's room to chat with him. Ah Jiu hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, the money exchanger has appeared."
Han Changmu suddenly raised his head and said anxiously: "How much money did they exchange? Are they following?"
Ah Jiu bowed and said: "The eight hundred thousand taels have been cashed out. Ah Feng and A Yu have already followed."
Han Changmu frowned slightly, rolled up the book into a scroll, and tapped it gently in his palm.
Everyone couldn't sit still and looked at Han Changmu anxiously, waiting for his instructions.
After tracing for so long, this is the only clue directly related to salary.
Finally, all the hard work was not in vain.
After a moment of silence, Han Changmu calmly made arrangements: "Meng Sui and Gu Chen, you two will follow A Jiu to exchange A Feng and A Yu back, and keep an eye on the money exchangers. If they leave the city, one of you will follow them. , the other person came back to report."
Meng Sui and Gu Chen all said yes, turned around and left.
Han Changmu said again: "Wang Xian and Chen Gui, after A Feng and A Yu come back, the four of you will go to the city to prepare for departure. It's cold and the road is difficult to walk. We need to prepare more things to keep out the cold. We need to Let’s set off at any time.”
Wang Xian and Chen Gui also claimed that they were ready to go.
Han Changmu turned to look at Yao Yao: "A Yao, prepare the medicinal materials, especially the knife wound medicine and Ruanjin powder. You should have prescriptions for these two medicines."
Yao Yao sighed. She had been corrupted by Han Changmu's sugar-coated bullets in the past few days. How could she have forgotten that he was actually an internal guard who could make jokes anytime and anywhere.
She nodded and held out her hand.
Han Changmu was stunned for a moment: "What."
Yao Yao curled his lips and smiled: "Silver."
Han Changmu reluctantly touched Yao Yao's cheek, took her hand, and went into the room to get the money.
In an instant, Xie Mengxia was the only one left here. He stood alone and shouted: "Well, Jiuchao, see what I can do."
Han Changmu waved his hand: "Just don't be sold to a small shop."
"..."
After arranging these things, everyone went to work separately.
At noon, Gu Chen rushed back to deliver the news.
"Eight hundred thousand taels of silver, all used for the baggage trains of the Gaochang Kingdom. I have inquired about it, and this baggage train is going to the Kucha Kingdom to pick up forged weapons. These baggage trains have been prepared. Look. It looks like we'll be setting off early tomorrow morning at the latest." Gu Chen bowed slightly, with a very respectful attitude.
Han Changmu concentrated: "In the past, the sophisticated weapons forged by the Qiuci Kingdom could only be supplied to the Turks. How come now even the Gaochang Kingdom can get its hands on them?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "Time is too tight, I can't find out for a while."
Han Changmu nodded: "Go ahead and replace Meng Suigai, so as not to arouse their suspicion."
Gu Chenying claimed that it was, paused, and continued: "We also found that there is another wave of people who are also staring at these baggage trucks. They are the ones from the Four Saints Sect that we got rid of in Mohe Yanqi. Mute female holy messenger."
Han Changmu smiled slightly and said with a normal expression: "Then you must be extra careful not to disturb those two people. Watch how they behave. If necessary, you can help."
At dusk, Yao Yao came back with several large bags of crushed medicinal materials, carefully divided them into appropriate portions, and poured them into small porcelain bottles of different colors.
Xie Mengxia lay on the kang, watching Yao Yao busy at work, curiously looking at this and smelling that, and finally asked: "A Yao, you have so many medicine bottles tied in your belt, don't you think it's a big deal? ?”
Yao Yao was stunned and looked at Xie Mengxia: "How do you know that all my medicines are hidden in my belt?"
Xie Mengxia saw Yao Yao's unkind expression and trembled. He pointed at Han Changmu and confessed him very neatly: "It's him. He took advantage of you while you were unconscious. found."
Yao Yao turned to look at Han Changmu.
Han Changmu held a book, his face didn't even change, and he said seriously: "Ah Yao, one of them doesn't even have a connecting room, and the other one is the top one in the waiter's tavern, who do you think is more trustworthy?"
Yao Yao turned his head quickly, narrowed his eyes, and pretended to slap Xie Meng Xia. His words were sinister: "Your Highness, Chen Gui is already planning to write a script. Do you want to know the secret of the protagonist?"
Xie Mengxia jumped off the big kang in excitement, fled to Han Changmu, and said bitterly: "Jiuzhao, you framed me."
Han Changmu spread his hands with an innocent face: "I didn't say you took advantage of A Yao, it's just that she didn't believe what you said."
Yao Yao came back to his senses, and while filling the small porcelain bottle with medicinal powder, he muttered: "This can cause diarrhea, put more, this can make you have nightmares, put more, this can make you bleed from all the orifices and die. If it doesn’t work, let’s put some aside.”
Han Changmu smiled, put down the book, sat on the kang, and held Yao Yao's hand: "I was looking for medicine to save you. I know you have everything you brought, but I don't know where you hid it."
Yao Yao snorted.
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows: "Don't be angry anymore, then don't prepare this medicine for me."
Yao Yao smiled and said: "This is not prepared for the young master, but for His Highness."
"..." Xie Mengxia shrank his neck, he was stabbed while lying down.
Several people worked separately. Although time was tight, they prepared everything they needed and packed the boxes. It was already late at night.
At dawn, before daylight, Gu Chen came back to report that the baggage train was ready to set off.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Meng Sui was replaced and followed, leaving marks along the way. It was not until an hour after the baggage team left the city that Han Changmu and others left Gaochang City in a grand manner.
A red sun slowly rose above the horizon. This westward road became increasingly cold, desolate, and deserted.
Walking more than a hundred miles west from Gaochang City, you will find a cliff on the edge of a sand moraine. The cliff is several feet high, and gurgling spring water flows from top to bottom between the cliffs.
The spring water on this cliff is called Afu Shiquan. It is very strange. If a caravan of travelers passes by to get water, the spring water will always be inexhaustible. However, if no one takes water, the spring water will only emerge a little. Weak bubbles and water droplets soaked the cliff.
Yao Yao knew about this spring, and also knew about a legend about this spring, which was recorded in the book "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that she read in her previous life.
Han Changmu and his party followed the mark left by Meng Suige, and walked quickly for two days to get here, fetched water, and rested on the spot.
Yao Yao still remembers this sentence in "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty": "The country of Yanqi has no rules and regulations, and the law is not strict."
It is unknown whether this so-called Yanqi Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty still existed at this time.
Seeing dusk fall, she tentatively asked: "Master, where should we rest tonight."
Han Changmu's eyes were gentle and he asked softly: "Are you tired?"
Yao Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'm just not very familiar with this place, so I asked one more question."
Han Changmu spread out the map Xu Xiangli drew for him, nodded at a point on it, and called for everyone to come over and take a look: "Tonight we will rest by the spring. Meng Suige sent news that the baggage team has set up camp at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. It looks like we are going to cross the Silver Mountain.”
No one had any objections to this arrangement.
Xie Mengxia tilted his head, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is Yinshan the mountain with silver mines everywhere?"
Han Changmu nodded.
Xie Mengxia was overjoyed: "Then let's dig some."
Han Changmu looked at Xie Mengxia like a monster, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, Your Highness, then dig slowly, and we will come to pick up Your Highness after we finish our work."
Xie Mengxia smiled and went over to pull Han Changmu's sleeve: "Jiuchao, let's discuss it."
Han Changmu was speechless.
I don't want to chase after the 800,000 taels of salary, and I plan to go to Yinshan to dig silver mines.
Is this what a prince of a country should do?
He must have been a mining slave in his previous life! ! !
Yao Yao looked at the map carefully and did not find the country Yanqi on the map. On the contrary, the mountains and rivers were drawn very clearly, which was almost the same as the "Datang Western Regions" in his memory.
It seems that history has still changed quietly, but this change is not known to everyone and is taken for granted.
The night was very cold. Everyone was lying around the bright and hot bonfire, wearing sheep furs and getting into sleeping bags. They were also wrapped in thick felt blankets, but they still felt the cold wind blowing through them, cracking their bones. Blow through.
