Sun Lichang followed Shao Xi's fingers, looked around the two of them, and nodded.
"It all depends on the master's arrangement."
He thought for a moment and then answered in the affirmative.
"It won't cause much trouble if the caravan has two more people on the road. Since it's the young master's wish, I will follow suit."
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Sun."
Shao Xi smiled slightly and thanked Sun Lichang.
Sun Lichang waved his hand, indicating that you're welcome.
Looking at Sun Lichang who turned back to his seat, Aria asked Shao Xi with some confusion: "Seeing that he respects you so much, why do you still ask for his opinion? Aren't you the person in charge of the caravan?"
Sun Poyun on the side smiled and shook his head.
"If I read it correctly, Mr. Shao should only be traveling with the caravan, but he has a special status, so the person in charge treats Mr. Shao with great courtesy."
Shao Xi looked at Sun Poyun with admiration. As expected, he was engaged in the bounty business inside and outside Yulong Pass. He indeed had a unique vision and could see the relationship between himself and Sun Lichang at a glance.
Smiling and waving his hands, he said: "What's the special status? We are all friends, it's just to give face! In that case, we will go on the road together tomorrow. I wonder where Brother Sun and Miss Aria are staying at the moment?"
Sun Poyun hesitated for a moment, seeming to be quite cautious about revealing his whereabouts.
"Right now, the two of us are staying at the Jade Dragon Inn."
Shao Xi clapped his hands and laughed.
"Coincidentally, we are also staying at the Yulong Inn now. It seems that we can have a drink with Brother Sun tonight."
Sun Poyun seemed not surprised by this incident.
This Yulong Inn is the largest inn in Yulong Town. Generally, caravans like to stay here. After all, the yard is spacious and can accommodate many camels and horses. It is also more convenient to store and take care of goods.
More importantly, in comparison, this is the best inn in Yulong Town, and other small inns are really hard to describe.
If money is not tight, people who come here will usually choose to stay at the Yulong Inn.
"In this case, I will ask Mr. Shao to take care of me in the days to come."
"It's not about taking care of me. Anyway, we are just along the way. You and I will travel together to avoid loneliness on the road."
The two raised their bowls and drank together again.
Aria looked aggrieved at this time. Although she was wearing a veil on her face, her eyes were filled with flattery.
"You have all discussed the matter. Has anyone asked me what I mean? I don't want to go back to Wuhai Country so soon. I haven't even seen the beautiful scenery of the Central Plains! Being sent back by you like this, I really don't want to go back to Wuhai Country so soon. It is unwillingness."
Upon hearing this, Shao Xi turned to look at Sun Poyun, who shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"This has nothing to do with me. I only took the person back to collect the reward. I don't care about anything else."
Shao Xi was really dumbfounded by this incident. A little girl who was disobedient at home ran away from home without saying hello in order to go out and see the outside world.
The rich father was so anxious that he spent a lot of money to find the child.
As a result, both the person looking for someone and the person being looked for were so stubborn. It seemed that the daily exchanges between Sun Poyun and Aria were not pleasant.
It's just that Sun Poyun used coercion and Aria was unable to break away. Otherwise, this girl would definitely grease her soles and find an opportunity to escape.
It seemed that Sun Poyun had enough headaches along the way.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble on the road, Shao Xi comforted Aria: "Although the Central Plains is beautiful, it is thousands of miles away. How can your father not be worried if you run out alone like this?
"If you really want to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food in the Central Plains, you should discuss it with your father. Wouldn't running out so willfully make the family more worried?"
Shao Xi's words originally made sense, and Aria was unable to refute.
At this time, she blinked her big beautiful eyes and stared at Shao Xi, and for a moment she felt a little embarrassed.
"Your name is Shao Xi, right?"
Shao Xi was stunned by her question and just nodded instinctively.
"Anyway, your caravan will have to return to the Central Plains sooner or later when it reaches Wuhai Kingdom. Why don't you go and talk to my Atta then and let me return to the Central Plains with your caravan, so that you can take care of me along the way? Ta will no longer worry about me, what do you think?"
When Shao Xi heard this, his head shook like a rattle. Are you kidding me? He just said a few words of advice, why did this girl target him?
This is really nosy and a bastard.
If he gets stuck with this girl, will he be annoyed to death?
There are still a lot of serious things to do on this trip to the Western Region! How can I have time to coax her to play?
Good guy! He also said that he wanted to go back to the Central Plains with him. Didn't he invite an ancestor back? Let’s not talk about all the unaccustomed things at that time. If I make a mistake, wouldn’t I get myself into a lot of trouble?
At this time, Shao Xi began to regret that he was so talkative. Why did he mind his own business when he was full?
"Miss Aria, you asked me to take you back to the Central Plains just after we met for the first time. You are so simple. How can your family rest assured after leaving home? Aren't you afraid that I am an evildoer and will abduct you to the Central Plains and sell you?" ?”
When Shao Xi said this, Aria seemed to think it made sense, and she blinked her big eyes and thought about it seriously.
Shao Xi couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it. For such a simple reason, she actually had to seriously think about how long this brain reflex arc must be?
Seeing that Aria was no longer pestering him, Shao Xi quickly stood up, bowed his hand to Sun Poyun and said, "Brother Sun, please use it slowly. If I have anything else to do, I'll leave first. You and I will drink together in the inn tonight. "
Why don't you leave now? After a while, if the girl realizes that she is annoying enough, she can leave quickly while saying that she has something to do.
In the future, it is best to stay away from this woman from the Western Region whose brain circuit is different from that of the people from the Central Plains. Such a simple and willful woman is too scary, and her own Wu Qiu'er is the best!
At this time, Lao Wu's table had almost eaten. To be precise, Wu Qiu'er had almost eaten.
The people at the table didn't eat a few pieces of beef at all. Wu Qiu'er ate all the big pot of beef by himself, but Lao Wu and Fu Biao drank a lot from the three jars of wine.
Fortunately for Fu Biao, Lao Wu, a drunken man, would die at the sight of wine. Not only did he drink it, he also filled up all the wine bottles and wine bags he brought with him. I'm afraid he won't have anything to drink after today, Shao Xi didn't bother to care about him.
After breaking up with Sun Poyun, everyone left the tavern and walked towards the Yulong Inn.
On the way, Shao Xi asked Sun Lichang: "Shopkeeper Sun, I wonder who the general is guarding Jade Dragon Pass now?"
Sun Lichang knew Shao Xi's identity. Now that he saw him asking about the garrison garrison at Yulong Pass, he must have some official business.
So he quickly raised his hand and replied: "To return to the Master, the guards at Jade Dragon Pass were just rotated last year, and now the one stationed here is the champion general Zhao Changsheng."
"Champion General Zhao Changsheng? If I remember correctly, he should have a son named Zhao Wenxuan, right?"
Sun Lichang bowed and replied: "I have been in Qingshan County all year round. I don't know much about the civil and military officials in Daliang City. I really don't know about the son of the great general that the young master mentioned."
Shao Xi nodded, not blaming Sun Lichang for failing to answer his question.
Originally! How could the second shopkeeper of a branch of a commercial bank know so much about the affairs of the DPRK and China? This champion general is a third-rank official, so it makes sense that Sun Lichang doesn't know about it.
However, Shao Xi already knew that Zhao Changsheng, who came to guard Yulong Pass, was the father of Zhenwei Captain Zhao Wenxuan.
A year ago, he rescued Zhao Wenxuan from Wu Qiu'er during a competition on the school field, which led to the later competition between himself and Wu Qiu'er.
Unexpectedly, now that I came to Yulong Pass, I would meet Zhao Wenxuan's father again. It seems that I have a destiny with this father and son.
Shao Xi asked Sun Lichang to return to the inn alone, while he took Lao Wu, Fu Biao and Wu Qiu'er straight to the general camp where the Yulong Pass garrison was located.
Previously in the tavern, I heard that the waiter and the team were talking about the delay in the payment of military pay for the Yulong Pass defenders. Shao Xi was very concerned about this matter.
There are more than 20,000 Zhenxi troops in the Yulongguan area. If the army's pay arrears, it will inevitably cause trouble. It is related to the safety of the Jingyuan Empire's frontiers. Shao Xi cannot stand by and ignore it no matter what.
So Shao Xi plans to go to meet Zhao Changsheng to understand the whole story and find a way to solve the current urgent problem of no pay in the army.
The garrison's soldiers' camp was located outside Yulong Town, which was still some distance away. Shao Xi and the others walked for a long time without riding, and finally arrived at the gate of the soldiers' camp.
The soldiers guarding the camp saw several people in civilian clothes with different shapes, especially Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er.
One was as wretched as a dry old monkey, and the other was as big as a mountain of flesh, which looked unusual.
Fu Biao was carrying a straight knife and had a straight body. He looked like he was in the military at first glance, but now he was wearing casual clothes and following behind a young master with an unruly look on his face.
The gatekeepers immediately became vigilant.
"Who is coming? Stop quickly. This is the Zhenxi Army camp. No one can get close. Please leave as soon as possible!"
The soldiers at the camp gate pulled their necks and shouted loudly to Shao Xi and others.
Shao Xi turned around and glanced at Fu Biao. Fu Biao understood what Shao Xi meant and quickly shouted to the soldiers guarding the camp: "Go and inform the general guarding Yulong Pass, Shi Shao, the fourth grade inspector of the Jingcheng Department in Kyoto." Lord Xi Shao came to Zhenxi Army Camp to meet with General Zhao Changsheng!"
When the soldiers at the gate of the camp heard Fu Biao saying that they were officials from Kyoto, they burst out laughing, seemingly not taking Fu Biao's words seriously at all.
"Where did these unscrupulous people come from talking nonsense here? What kind of place is this? This is Yulong Pass! It's a frontier place in the Western Regions. How could those officials from Kyoto come here?
"Don't talk nonsense anymore. Don't linger here. Leave quickly. Otherwise, we will take you to the camp and deal with us in detail."
Shao Xi said in his heart, I'll wipe it! Could it be that I, an official from Kyoto, can’t function well at Yulong Pass?
