"Boss Zhang, the host lady invites you." A maid came to the carriage where Zhang Xiu was sitting and said respectfully. Before coming, the lady had repeatedly warned her to be polite.
"And this Mr. Jia." The maid turned her attention to Jia Rong.
Jia Rong and Zhang Xiu walked toward the carriage in the middle under the envious eyes of all the servants. Needless to say, they knew what had happened before and that the two of them were going to be lucky.
The layout of the carriage can be described as luxurious. In the spacious carriage, a sandalwood table was filled with three glasses of wine, using Hao Ran's tall glasses produced by Chang'an Craftsman Workshop. There was even a small bed in the carriage.
, the treatment was infinitely better than that of a servant, and there was no bumpy feeling on the slowly moving carriage.
"You two, please take a seat." The lady said calmly.
Facing the beauty mentioned by the servant at close range, Zhang Xiu's face showed a trace of blush, which was really good-looking. After returning the gift, he knelt down by the table and cast his eyes on the hostess.
Jia Rong, on the other hand, sat on the ground without any image, and the soft fur was quite comfortable to sit on.
Accustomed to seeing Jia Rong's heroic side, Zhang Xiu's delicate face couldn't help but twitch slightly. Is this still a world-famous general? Why has Jia Rong's behavior changed like this since he came out of Hangu Pass?
Xiu was very puzzled.
"I admire this strong man for his eclectic behavior." Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and said to Jia Rong. In front of the young lady, it is natural to make enough subdivisions, otherwise it will not be good for Jia Rong if others see the clues.
Jia Rong picked up a glass of wine with a smile, took a sip and said: "Life is only a few decades, why do you have to be so demanding on yourself? Don't care about etiquette, just do what you think in your heart. The opinions in the eyes of the world are not the same."
I am like a floating cloud."
"Just do what you want in your heart." The lady host muttered softly, seeming to have some realization.
"You still don't know your lady's name?" Jia Rong said with a smile.
Miss Dong's face was a bit ugly. The woman's name could not be disclosed easily. Jia Rong and Zhang Xiu were invited here because they were helping the team solve problems. Otherwise, as two people, it would be a bit awkward to meet Miss Dong's family.
Disaster.
"You can just call me Miss Mi."
"Miss Mi? Are you from the Mi family in Xuzhou?" Jia Rong asked in shock.
"I know a lot." Miss Mi said with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
The Mi family in Xuzhou has a big business. There are probably many people in the clan, and there are many branches in the clan. Jia Rong doesn't take it to heart, but I heard that Mi Zhu has a younger sister who is beautiful and beautiful.
"I heard that you two came from Chang'an, but have you ever met the world-famous general Jia Rong?" Miss Mi asked curiously.
When Jia Rong heard this, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
It was a rare occasion when Zhang Xiu saw Jia Rong deflated and said with a smile: "General, he has seen him before. According to him, he even talked to him."
Sure enough, Zhang Xiu's words immediately attracted Miss Mi's gaze on him to Jia Rong.
"Really?" Miss Mi could not sit upright as before, her eyes were full of little stars.
"Of course, I don't want to think about what kind of person I am. I have fought tigers in the mountains and captured dragons in the sea. Even when Jia Rong sees me, he will respectfully call me Brother Liangzi."
Miss Mi spat out her tongue and said, "Lie."
Zhang Xiu was hunched over, laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up. When traveling with Jia Rong this time, he never thought that so many funny things would happen.
Jia Rong was attracted by the cute side of Miss Mi. He was stunned for a moment and then said calmly: "Just kidding, kidding. Back then, the general led his army on patrol in Chang'an. He met the villain and greeted him. Afterwards,
Only then did I realize that he was the general, but it was a pity that I didn’t make acquaintance with him at first, otherwise why would I be wandering around the country and sleeping in the open air now.”
Miss Mi nodded and said, "What does Jia Rong look like? Does he really have two heads and is more than one foot tall?"
Jia Rong rolled his eyes. How many versions of himself are there in the world? Here comes another one with two heads and one foot tall. Is that still a human being?
"The general is about the same size as me," Jia Rong said.
Later, Miss Mi discussed the topic of Jia Rong with Jia Rong for a long time. As for Zhang Xiu, who had captured the Broadsword King alive, he was left aside in a very unstoppable manner. He drank in depression and occasionally added an irrelevant word.
His eyes were constantly looking outside through the window.
At this time, Jia Rong looked like a weird uncle. From time to time he would joke with Miss Mi, making her face turn red. How could the unexperienced Miss Mi be Jia Rong's opponent?
The sky gradually turned dark, and Jia Rong stood up to say goodbye under Miss Mi's reluctant eyes.
When they reached an uninhabited land, Jia Rong's face was still full of laughter. "This convoy is unusual. Go find out and see what they are transporting."
"No!" Zhang Xiu said softly, and immediately disappeared into the middle of the carriage.
Chatting with Miss Mi, he got a lot of news. This convoy seemed to be a joint venture of three businessmen, but in fact it was managed by the Mi family in Xuzhou. Even Miss Mi didn't know about the goods being transported. This also attracted Jia Rong's attention.
The three carriages in the convoy must have contained unknown items, and even the goods in the other carriages were suspicious.
Normally, the business dealings between the Xuzhou Mi family and Chang'an were normal, but Jia Rong smelled something unusual.
Late at night, Zhang Xiu returned to the carriage and winked at Jia Rong.
When they reached the no man's land, Zhang Xiu handed something to Jia Rong.
This is a crossbow produced by Chang'an Craftsman Workshop. It is of exquisite craftsmanship. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, no prince can produce it.
There are a hundred such crossbows in the carriage, as well as a hundred ring-headed knives and a hundred pieces of armor produced by the craftsman's workshop. The method of transporting weapons in this convoy, if Zhang Xiu had not deliberately investigated, would have been concealed.
, Take this crossbow as an example, it was actually hidden among the grain and grass, and there was also a sword, which was actually installed with Xianlian. This is the result of preliminary investigation. As for how many there are in the carriage, I don’t know.
Jia Rong hissed lightly. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou before, Jia Rong had supported Xuzhou with a batch of weapons. He didn't expect that there would be so many sophisticated weapons in such an inconspicuous convoy. Looking at Xu He's expression,
Even he didn't know what kind of goods he was transporting, otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm about giving away half of the convoy's supplies in order to protect his lady boss when bandits robbed them before.
Could this still be as simple as the Mi family purchasing weapons from the Xiliang Army? According to the Mi family's past experience, when purchasing so many weapons, there will definitely be a large number of Xiliang Army soldiers escorting them to prevent any losses.
But there were only a hundred Xiliang troops in this convoy.
After returning to the carriage, Jia Rong lay down undressed and thought about what happened before and after. With such elite weapons in the convoy, could there be a problem with some officials in Chang'an? Thinking of this, Jia Rong hurriedly ordered Zhang Xiu to report the news
Pass it to Chang'an to investigate the origin of the weapons in the convoy. Jia Rong does not want to sell elite weapons to future enemies just to make a little money.
The convoy still has half a day's journey to enter Xuzhou. The servants in the convoy all breathed a sigh of relief. After returning to Xuzhou, they can eat and rest in peace, and their minds will be at peace after running around for many days.
The moving convoy stopped again. It turned out that the shafts of three carriages were broken. They could not continue on their way for a while, and everyone had to stay where they were.
Jia Rong took Zhang Xiu and walked leisurely in the middle of the motorcade, his eyes looking around from time to time.
"Jia Liang?"
Suddenly a crisp cry came from behind.
She is still wearing white clothes, no makeup, still as beautiful as a fairy, and her pure face makes someone feel ready to move.
"Miss Mi, what a coincidence?" Jia Rong forced out a smile.
Miss Mi looked around and said, "This seems to be next to my carriage."
Jia Rong was ashamed, forgetting that this little girl was naturally naughty and was like a ghost. It could be seen from yesterday's conversation.
"Oh, the carriage broke down. I went out for a walk and unexpectedly ran into Miss Mi." Jia Rong said with a smile.
It seemed that Miss Mi was very happy to be able to get out of the carriage, and chatted skillfully with Jia Rong.
"Miss Mi, why don't we go see what's going on with the carriage."
Miss Mi nodded in agreement. She was idle anyway. She felt an inexplicable sense of security when she was with Jia Rong. This feeling was very strange, as if there were too many attractive things about this person.
A group of eight people walked towards the carriage.
Xia Han's face looked very ugly. In the entire convoy, all the carriages were good, but these three carriages were.
"Mr.
Xu He, who came after hearing the news, also echoed: "This place is not far from Xuzhou, so just follow the lady's advice."
Xia Han's expression changed slightly and he shouted coldly: "Xu He, what do you mean? Can't you wait half a day?"
Looking at the two people's reactions, Jia Rong became more and more certain that the weapons transported in the convoy were somewhat strange.
Xu He and Xia Han were nominally businessmen under the Mi family, but they had many disagreements, which Jia Rong already knew during his days in the team.
The convoy stopped, and Jia Rong stood aside to watch how Xia Han repaired the carriage shaft. The materials on the carriage plus the weapons and armor were definitely very heavy.
As soon as Xu He left, Xia Han ordered the guards to drive away all the servants watching the fun. Of course, he couldn't do this to Miss Mi. After being polite, he pointed the finger at Jia Rong.
Jia Rong and Zhang Xiu pretended to leave.
Xia Han said: "Keep a close eye on the surroundings and don't let anyone get close, even if old man Xu comes, but there are people who get close." Xia Han made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The guard clasped his fists and promised. Zhang Xiu, who was hiding in the dark, felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the guard and Xia Han were in the army.
