At the north gate of Qingzhou's Huyue County City, there was a long queue.
Because they searched too carefully, their speed was very slow.
At the side of the city gate, Teng Qingshan was being stared at by one of the guards.
Teng Qingshan groaned. He exerted force with both of his arms to get the two boxes off the horse's back. "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" The boxes were placed on the ground. Teng Qingshan smiled helplessly. "My boxes are too heavy." As he spoke, Teng Qingshan opened one of the boxes, revealing the neatly arranged tea bricks.
"Eh?" The guard frowned when he saw the tea bricks.
"These are all tea bricks. It's very troublesome to get them out. It'll be even more troublesome to put them in. Brother, please help me. I'm just begging for food. "Teng Qingshan hastily said.
The guard glanced at the few people who were supervising from afar and made up his mind.
"Shut up." The guard shouted at Teng Qingshan. "Quick, pour out the two boxes!
"Pour out all of them?" Teng Qingshan glared.
The guard's face was ice-cold. "The surface of your boxes are tea bricks. Who knows what's underneath? Quick, pour them all out. Otherwise, I'll have to ask you to spend a few days in prison. "
"I'll pour, I'll pour."
Teng Qingshan hastily lifted one of the boxes. With a whoosh, he turned the box upside down. However, the opening of the box was against the ground. Teng Qingshan said, "Brother, if I pour them all out, it will be a waste of time. With so many tea bricks, I'm afraid many of them will fall off. "Teng Qingshan carefully shook the box and poured out all the tea bricks.
"Clang!" The empty box was placed to the side.
The guard immediately looked at the empty box and tea bricks and shouted, "Hurry up the other one."
"Alright, alright." Teng Qingshan opened the second box. There was a suitcase inside. Others might not know, but Teng Qingshan knew … … that the most dangerous thing was in this suitcase! No matter if it was the Reincarnation Spear or the Splitting Mountain Axe, he must bring them along.
He lifted the box with one hand.
"Hua hua ~ ~" A large number of tea bricks and the suitcase fell down together. Teng Qingshan diligently opened the suitcase. There were only some clothes and other sundries in the suitcase.
The guard took a look and pushed the pile of tea bricks to the side. He was afraid that the Splitting Mountain Axe and Reincarnation Spear were hidden underneath. As for the suitcase, he only used his weapon to fiddle with it, so he didn't notice it.
"That woman is carrying a big bag. Hand it over." The guard suddenly turned his head and stared at 'Madam Tan' as he shouted.
Mrs. Tan, who was holding Tan He's hand, was shocked. "Me?"
"Everyone has to be checked." The guard shouted coldly. Mrs. Tan had no choice but to take off her bag.
"Brother, can I store my tea bricks now?" Teng Qingshan asked with a bitter face.
The guard also understood the frustration of the merchant in front of him. It was indeed troublesome to put so many tea bricks in. He casually checked Mrs. Tan's bag and said, "En, hurry up and put all the tea bricks in. The sooner he finished packing, the sooner he could leave. Don't block the city gate and get in the way. "
After checking, the guard went to check the others. Only Teng Qingshan was left to put the tea bricks into the two boxes.
"Uncle Qin, let me help you." Tan He also helped. Madam Tan also hurried over.
Although Teng Qingshan carefully poured the eight hundred tea bricks, more than ten of them were broken. The tea bricks that were scattered on the ground could still be used to make tea. The three of them worked together. In a short while, the two boxes were completely filled. Teng Qingshan put the suitcase into the big box.
He put the two boxes on the Scarlet Flame Horse.
"Let's go." Teng Qingshan brought Madam Tan and her son out of the city gate. At this moment, no one was stopping them.
The distance from the inside to the outside of the city gate was only about ten Zhang. However, it made Teng Qingshan feel very comfortable.
"Finally, we are out." A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face. "Just now, if we were discovered … … I'm afraid I would have to take the suitcase, Tan He, and his mother and run away immediately." With Teng Qingshan's strength, bringing Madam Tan and her son along wouldn't be a problem.
With the strength of the guards at the city gate, Teng Qingshan could easily break out.
However, if he really broke out, the consequences would be very serious. First, his identity would be exposed. Second, Madam Tan and her son might suffer an unexpected calamity.
"Elder Zhou." Teng Qingshan had already seen the caravan at the city gate. He smiled and shouted.
"Oh, Brother Qin Wei." Standing in front of the caravan was a sturdy elder wearing a thick leather gown and a leather hat. He greeted Teng Qingshan enthusiastically, "Today, Xiao Yao Palace wants to capture someone. The whole city is searched. Even leaving the city is so troublesome, especially us merchants … … Brother Qin Wei must have suffered a lot. "
"Isn't that so?" Teng Qingshan shook his head and said helplessly, "Two boxes of goods have to be poured out. When it's time to fill the boxes, I have to fill them myself. "
"You are lucky. It's only two boxes. Our Hu's Merchant Company has a total of ten carts of goods. Those guards are determined and didn't give us any face. They had to pour out all ten carts of goods. " The leader of the caravan, Elder Zhou, seemed very angry as he said, "So many guards and merchants have been busy loading the goods together."
Suddenly, Elder Zhou saw another merchant walking towards the city gate and said, "Brother Qin Wei, I can't talk to you anymore. I have to go pick someone up."
"Elder Zhou, go ahead." Teng Qingshan brought his men and entered the caravan.
This caravan was mainly managed by the Hu's Merchant Company. There were also many idle merchants that joined the caravan. Many of the idle merchants also had guards with them. In addition to paying a commission and hiring a team of guards, the entire caravan would become even more powerful. There would be a lot of guards.
After about an hour, all the merchants had gathered.
"Alright, everyone is here. The last city that our caravan will arrive at is the Royal City of Yuzhou — — Yu City. Now, let's go! "As the leader of the caravan shouted, the entire caravan set off in a grandiose manner.
In this caravan, there were about three hundred merchants and more than five hundred guards.
A caravan of eight hundred people! It was much bigger than the caravan that Teng Qingshan joined the last time.
… …
Drip! Drip!
Teng Qingshan's Scarlet Flame Horse was leisurely strolling. Because of the caravan, the caravan couldn't travel very fast.
In the morning, there was still snow that had not melted on the official road, causing the temperature to be very low.
"Xiao Yao Mountain!" Teng Qingshan looked at the mountain range in front of him. Xiao Yao Mountain was a few Li away from the northern city gate of Huyue County. He could see it clearly when he left the city. The area of Xiao Yao Mountain was slightly smaller than the Great Yan Mountain. It had a circumference of about twenty to thirty Li. However, because of the beautiful scenery, it was chosen by the founder of Xiao Yao Palace as the place to establish the sect.
They continued to move forward. After about an hour.
"That Ma Jinxiao said that it was ten Li away from the city gate." Teng Qingshan looked around carefully, "Since I left the city, it has been ten Li."
Madam Tan and her son, who were arranged by Teng Qingshan to sit in the caravan, were also paying attention to the surroundings.
After a while — —
Teng Qingshan's gaze locked onto a farmer who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a worn-out hat. He was squatting on the ridge beside the official road. Because his head was lowered, the worn-out hat covered most of the farmer's face. His eyes under his messy hair occasionally glanced over.
"Little He, Madam Tan, come here." Teng Qingshan immediately rode his horse to the side of the official road.
Tan He and Madam Tan also knew that Ma Jinxiao would be waiting for them ten Li away. They also saw this worn-out farmer and were suspicious. When they heard Teng Qingshan's shout, they immediately ran over.
"Brother Qin Wei." The merchants at the side shouted, "What's the matter?"
"It's a small matter. Don't wait for me. I will catch up in a while." Teng Qingshan shouted.
The merchants also saw that Teng Qingshan's horse was a Scarlet Flame Horse, which ran much faster than the caravan. Therefore, the caravan did not stop for Teng Qingshan and continued moving forward.
Whew! The farmer squatting on the ridge stood up and walked over.
"Teacher!" Little Tan He immediately saw the person and ran over excitedly. Ma Jinxiao also smiled and picked up little Tan He.
Ma Jinxiao carried the child and walked over. He looked at Teng Qingshan with a smile and said, "Brother Qin Wei, this time, I really have to thank you."
"I almost didn't recognize you when you were dressed like this." Teng Qingshan sighed.
"Haha, I am originally a villager." Ma Jinxiao smiled and said, "You didn't encounter any trouble when you left the city this time, right?"
Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "There wasn't any big trouble. They are just trying to capture someone in the city. There are guards on every street and at the entrance of the city." Little Tan He, who was being carried by Ma Jinxiao, said, "Yes, the guards poured out all of Uncle Qin's boxes."
"It seems that they are really strict." Ma Jinxiao couldn't help but feel worried. "Did you see the portrait of the person that Xiao Yao Palace wanted to capture?" Ma Jinxiao stared at Teng Qingshan.
"I saw it." Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Brother Ma, you left in a hurry last night. I thought that you caused a big trouble and Xiao Yao Palace wanted to kill you. However, when I looked at the portrait, it didn't look like you at all. It seems that I guessed wrong. "
Ma Jinxiao revealed a smile and said, "I did cause some trouble yesterday, so I left at night. However … … I wouldn't go so far as to provoke Xiao Yao Palace. " Ma Jinxiao also realized that his disciple, little Tan He, and Madame Tan, didn't look surprised. Obviously … … that portrait didn't look like him.
Ma Jinxiao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother Ma, what do you plan to do in the future?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Me?" Ma Jinxiao looked around at the surrounding mountains and fields. He shook his head and smiled, "I plan to bring Little He back to my hometown, Ma Jia Village! He can also teach the disciples of my Ma Clan. If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay in Ma Jia Village for the rest of my life. "
Ma Jinxiao sighed, "I have been outside for too long … … I don't want to go any further."
"Brother Qin Wei, Ma Jia Village is thirty Li to the north. You can ask around there and you will know. If you want to find me and Little He, just go there. "Ma Jinxiao smiled and said. "Uncle Qin, you must come in the future." Little Tan He hastily said.
Ma Jinxiao smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, you must come in the future."
Teng Qingshan smiled and patted Little Tan He's head. He nodded and said, "Don't worry. When I finish my business, I will definitely go. "
"Then, Brother Qin Wei, you should hurry. I will bring Little He and Madam Tan back to Ma Jia Village first. "Ma Jinxiao bid farewell to Teng Qingshan and brought the mother and son along with him as they walked along the small road in the village.
Looking at the backs of Ma Jinxiao and the other two, a smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face.
"Stay in Ma Jia Village for the rest of your life? An innate expert who is not even forty years old. He is willing to stay in his hometown. Teach the clansmen, protect the clansmen, and live a peaceful and peaceful life. "Teng Qingshan was touched by Ma Jinxiao's decision. Peace was a blessing! If he could live a peaceful life with his family, he would be satisfied.
"However, my path is different from Ma Jinxiao's!"
"Qing Hu Island and I are destined to be destroyed." Teng Qingshan jumped on the Scarlet Flame Horse. "Jia!"
The Scarlet Flame Horse immediately galloped and chased after the caravan.
