After walking for a while, Yu Yi felt a little reluctant to leave, so he turned around and took a look, and found that no one left, they were still staying there, with some reluctance in their eyes. Yu Yi sighed, it is really life to have these close friends. It was a great blessing that after bowing again, he left quickly.
Yu Yi had no detailed plan for leaving the village this time. He just thought that he should try to stir up relationships. Thinking that Zhang Jiao might be conspiring to cause trouble and the court might not know about it, he worked hard to enter the court and decided to leave for Luoyang, but Then he thought about the situation Li Qingsheng mentioned, that is, he had not received a letter from the Zhong brothers in Julu for a long time. Fearing that the situation might change, he temporarily changed his mind and went to Julu to explore first.
He walked along the official road, acting very low-key. He bought a straw hat on the road and wore it very low to try to cover his face.
After a day's march, he arrived at the inn near Qingshui Village. It was originally opened by a couple. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and the inn changed its appearance overnight. Later, after Qingshui Village was pacified, the inn Yuyi handed it over to Wu Success is now managed in an orderly manner by him.
When Yu Yi entered the inn, the waiter didn't recognize him. He deliberately found a remote table to sit down and ordered some vegetarian dishes.
"Brother Gui has made a fortune recently. The fabrics have been sold well. Can you introduce some sales channels to make me happy?"
A middle-aged man at the next table said to the person sitting opposite.
This sentence aroused Yu Yi's curiosity. He turned his head slightly and observed the guests sitting at the table next to him out of the corner of his eye. They both looked middle-aged and wore robes of the same color. It's very shallow, and you can occasionally see some fabric in your carry-on luggage.
"It's strange to say that our trade route is connected to Julu. I don't know why, but the demand for fabrics in Julu City has been huge recently. My inventory is only a drizzle."
That "Brother Gui" drank all the wine in his hand and revealed something.
The middle-aged man who asked the question probably didn't expect that the other party would be so cheerful. He immediately drank the wine in one gulp as a return gift. At the same time, he took out a gold ingot from his bag and said: "Brother Gui's great help, I have no teeth." Unforgettable, if you need brother’s help in the future, please come to me as soon as possible.”
"Brother Su is out of touch. If you have money, let's make money together. Besides, this giant deer's demand for cloth is indeed too great. I don't know why so much cloth is used?"
The man smiled and asked his question.
"Haha, hello you two. It's raining and I have some fabrics on hand. I just heard that Julu is in great demand for fabrics. Can you bring me with you?"
Through the conversation between the two, Yu Yi felt that this was an opportunity to sneak into Julu, so he quickly went up to strike up a conversation.
"That's fine. We will transport some fabrics into the city tomorrow. If you also need it, please come with us."
The middle-aged man's answer was not very enthusiastic, or he was suspicious because he saw that Yuyi was young and didn't look like a fabric merchant at all. But the other party made a request and it was not easy to offend him, so he agreed to go together.
Yuyi returned to his dining table with a smile and continued to enjoy the food he ordered. After eating, he went to the waiter to book a guest room.
At night, Yu Yi had some insomnia, so he walked out of the guest room and walked around the inn.
Yu Yi was very familiar with the surrounding environment. He first went to visit the grave of the original owner of the inn, and then walked to Qingshui Village in the northwest, wanting to see the current situation there. Unfortunately, the floating bridges in front and behind Qingshui Village have been broken, and the secret passage in Bagong Mountain was also burned by the fire, and the stone stairs that spiraled up were damaged by falling rocks later.
Yuyi stood at the foot of the mountain, looked at Qingshui Village, sighed, and left.
After returning to the inn, Yu Yi found several carriages parked at the door of the inn in the distance, and familiar voices were heard. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be "Brother Su" and "Brother Gui". It turned out that they were preparing to transport the goods overnight. The cloth leaves.
Yuyi thought to himself, these people are too stingy, but it doesn't matter. Do they really think they can get rid of him? They are too naive, so he sneaked near the stable and bought a fine red horse. , after the carriage team started, they followed quietly.
After a day and night of travel, we finally arrived near Julu City.
Yu Yi thought that it was too risky to rush into the city and he would be easily recognized by Julu officers and soldiers. He happened to encounter other noises around him, so he clamped the horse's belly hard and accelerated. When he was about to approach the convoy, Yu Yi jumped He jumped onto the roof of the carriage and lay down on it.
If it were a quiet day, the sound of horse hooves would alert the convoy. Fortunately, it was night, the sky was darker, and the surrounding environment was noisy, which gave Yu Yi an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Yu Yi had followed the convoy for a long time and already knew the structure of the team. The two businessmen each took a carriage, and in front was a small escort team transporting cloth.
When he was about to enter the gate of Julu City, Yu Yi suddenly jumped down from the carriage and quickly turned into the carriage.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man suddenly panicked when he saw a stranger breaking into the carriage.
"Keep your voice down. If you leave secretly without me, what do you think I am?"
Yu Yi was a little angry, took out the dagger from his arms, pointed at the middle-aged man's neck and said.
The knife was pointed at his neck, and there was a possibility of death at any time. The middle-aged man was frightened and said in a trembling voice: "Hero, spare your life. If you need money, just ask and I will definitely do it."
At this time, the motorcade was approaching the entrance of Julu City. Yu Yi put his head close to the front, listening to the movement outside, and at the same time whispered to the other party to stop making any noise.
"Who is coming?"
The guards of Julu City had not seen this convoy, so they questioned them.
"We are cloth merchants, and we are here to transport goods."
The man walking in front of the convoy replied.
The guard nodded, then walked into the motorcade and rummaged through the fabrics in the box. After confirming the goods, he pointed to the carriage compartment and said, "What's inside here?"
"This is our boss. He wants to enter the city this time to discuss a bigger business with Mr. Zhang Jiao!"
the man replied.
When it came to Zhang Jiao, the guard hesitated a little. After all, some people couldn't be offended, so he didn't check the carriage and waved his hand to let him go.
Compared with the last time he left the city, this time it was much more comfortable and easier. After entering the city gate, Yu Yi opened the curtain a little with his left hand. Looking at the familiar environment outside, he sighed in his heart: "Julu City, I never thought we would meet again.”
"You let me go, and I take you into the city. It's an even deal. See you later!"
Having almost reached their destination, Yuyi rushed out of the carriage and soon disappeared into the night.
