Chapter 7: I planned to use the identity of an ordinary person, but I didn't expect it to be alienated
There were twenty-seven mansions in the Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to Kyoto in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Nanyu Prefecture, Jinyun Prefecture, Beizhou Prefecture, and Jiangchuan Prefecture are the four major provincial capitals.
Among them, Jinyun Mansion is the most famous, not only because Jinyun Mansion is vast and rich in resources, but also because the Taiyi Immortal Sect is located in Jinyun Mansion.
Nanyu Prefecture is about 4,700 miles away from Jinyun Prefecture. It would take an ordinary good horse at least seven days and nights to travel from Nanyu Prefecture to Jinyun Prefecture.
Including delays along the way, it is estimated to take ten days.
But the good thing is that this is the world of Xianxia. There are teleportation arrays, but they are expensive. If you don't rely on teleportation arrays, there are also thousand-mile horses. The Chen family has kept a lot of thousand-mile horses in captivity for escorts and merchants.
inside the room.
Chen Xuanqing was thinking about the itinerary.
According to the final calculation, it would take five days at the fastest to reach Jinyun Mansion, and eight days at the slowest.
The Taiyi Immortal Sect will hold the apprenticeship ceremony in the twenty-fifth day. There is plenty of time. In addition, Chen Xuanqing has already learned about the subject of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's trial. Chen Xuanqing does not have any worries about this trial trip.
The only thing I'm worried about is meeting Taoist Chuchen.
This kind of person is so heartless that even if he lives for hundreds of years, he will not be able to play with him.
"We will leave tomorrow at the latest."
Sitting in the room, Chen Xuanqing made up his mind to leave tomorrow at the latest, otherwise it would be really over if he wasted time.
But just when Chen Xuanqing was making plans, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Xuanqing, Xuanqing, come out quickly. My fifth uncle wants to see you for something."
The whirring sound made Chen Xuanqing panic.
"Come to seek revenge?"
Hearing Uncle Wu's voice, Chen Xuanqing was a little afraid to go out. God knows if he was seeking revenge for what happened last night.
The Chen family is full of people who want to take revenge, and they try to trick each other.
"Xuanqing, I know you are inside. Stop hiding. Uncle Wu, I am not here to seek revenge. Come out quickly. You have serious business."
Chen Xuanqing's fifth uncle spoke up again, as if something was really going on.
"Uncle Wu, wait until I get off and I'll get dressed."
Having said that, Chen Xuanqing had no choice but to go out.
After dawdling for a while, Chen Xuanqing opened the door and greeted his fifth uncle.
Chen Xuanqing's fifth uncle is called Chen Peng. From this name, we can know how much the Chen family values him.
They all use the word "peng", so the fifth uncle's experience when he was young is very similar to Chen Xuanqing's current experience.
Chen Peng was not very old, he was not yet forty years old. He could be regarded as the son of Mr. Chen in his later years, so he was very favored. There were two reasons why he was not favored later.
First, he was born, and second, the fifth uncle worked hard for twenty years but failed to continue the incense for the Chen family. Therefore, in the end, the fifth uncle stopped working and gave up on himself, causing all the pressure to fall on Chen Xuanqing.
It is precisely because of the decadent fifth uncle that Chen Xuanqing is even more resistant to the arrangements within the clan.
Push open the door.
Chen Xuanqing saw his fifth uncle standing in the courtyard. He was in his thirties, young, handsome, with regular features. However, the sun was shining brightly, and Chen Peng was wearing a green gown, which made him look a little weird.
"Uncle Wu, why are you wearing a long gown in this weather?"
Chen Xuanqing asked pretending to be curious.
"You kid, stop pretending. It was you who called me here yesterday, right?"
Chen Peng said angrily.
"Fifth Uncle, please don't accuse me unjustly. What does this have to do with me?"
Chen Xuanqing and Fifth Uncle have a good relationship. Maybe the age difference is not too big, so they get along. It's just that they get along well. If they really provoke Fifth Uncle, they should be whipped.
"Hmph, it's because of your nonsense that the old man got so angry. Who else could make the old man angry?"
"But I came here today not to talk to you about this."
"Are you going to Taiyi Immortal Sect?"
Chen Peng was too lazy to argue with Chen Xuanqing about this. Without evidence, he knew that Chen Xuanqing would deny it in every possible way, so there was little point in arguing.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Uncle Wu, are you going to send it to me specially?"
Chen Xuanqing nodded.
"That's about it. The clan has received a business deal and needs to escort a batch of goods to Jinyun Mansion. The old lady asked me to take you with me so that we can take care of each other along the way."
Chen Peng spoke.
The Chen family has an escort business, and fifth uncle Chen Peng is in charge of this.
"That's it, that's okay." Chen Xuanqing nodded immediately. The horses used by the Chen family to escort the bodyguards are all good horses, and there is little danger in following the caravan. You can eat and drink along the way and benefit from the Chen family's welfare. This is
Good thing.
But before Chen Xuanqing could finish thinking, Chen Peng's voice immediately sounded.
"However, your father said that for your trip, you will have to calculate the money and send you to Jinyun Mansion. It is also part of the escort process. Twenty spirit stones will be given. The Chen family will be responsible for the food and accommodation along the way. Can you do it?
Dry?"
Chen Peng opened his mouth and asked for a fee.
As soon as he said this, Chen Xuanqing's face immediately changed.
"Fifth Uncle? My family still wants to collect money? Have you fallen into the eyes of money? Twenty spiritual stones, two months of my salary, are you robbing me?"
Chen Xuanqing was a little confused.
Twenty spirit stones are equivalent to two hundred taels of gold. Isn't my two months' salary too outrageous?
However, under normal circumstances, the charge of two hundred taels of gold is really not high. After all, the journey is 4,700 miles, and the Chen family's experts will escort them, and they will also provide food and accommodation. The Chen family's escort will really not feel wronged when traveling
The teachers, food and accommodation are all of a relatively high standard.
It's just that everyone in the family counts money, and Chen Xuanqing can't accept it.
"I knew you would say this, but your father is the clan leader, and the fifth uncle can help you get a discount at most. Ten spirit stones, if it works, forget it. Don't say you have no money. Yesterday, the warehouse brought a thousand spirit stones.
Stone, more than my private money."
Chen Peng spoke up and blocked all Chen Xuanqing's escape routes with one sentence.
"Uncle Wu, does it have to be so clear?"
But who is Chen Xuanqing? Although the account is indeed true, Chen Xuanqing also has a back-up plan.
"Public is public, private is private. If Xuan Qing wants to blame, blame your father. Don't blame me. I'm too lazy to earn your spiritual stone. Besides, even if I do, it won't be on my head."
Chen Peng said in an indifferent tone.
Chen Xuanqing immediately spoke up.
"Okay, Fifth Uncle, you said this, then I will have a good talk with you."
"I am going to Taiyi Immortal Sect to participate in the trial this time. I should be considered a quasi-trial disciple, right?"
Chen Xuanqing opened his mouth and decided to have a good talk with his fifth uncle.
"That's right."
Chen Peng nodded and answered Chen Xuanqing's question.
"Then Fifth Uncle, you escort the escort to Jinyun Mansion. The business of 4,700 miles is not a small business after all, right?"
Chen Xuanqing continued to ask.
"This is natural. The job the Chen family took over cannot be a small business."
Mentioning this, Chen Peng said with some confidence.
"In that business, it's either a small business or a big deal. Let's make a casual estimate. The value of this escort trip must be hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. It's possible that it could be a million taels of gold. Once the escort is lost, according to industry regulations, you have to pay three hundred thousand taels of gold.
Times."
"But if you get me, this business will be easier to deal with. I want to go to Taiyi Immortal Sect to participate in the trial. The journey will definitely be smooth. Even if there are robbers and thieves who want to rob the escort, they will probably have to weigh it carefully."
"So for this escort trip, not only can you not charge me money, but you also have to give me money. Uncle Wu, is this correct?"
Chen Xuanqing gave a long speech and abruptly pulled out this fallacy.
"Nonsense, Xuanqing, do you mean that our Chen family's bodyguards are not as useful as you? Our Chen family's bodyguards are just doing nothing? Besides, do you think the Chen family's banner is just saying something?"
If you want to play escort robberies, you have to see what kind of person you are."
It's just that Chen Peng is not a three-year-old child, and he is not fooled by Chen Xuanqing at all.
"Uncle Wu, what you said doesn't make any sense."
"We have to look at this from a business perspective. Let me ask you, do the Chen family dare to declare to the outside world that they will never throw away their escorts?"
Chen Xuanqing opened his mouth and continued to deceive and brainwash.
"Of course this can't be done."
Chen Peng immediately shook his head. Although the Chen family is powerful, it is impossible to claim that they will never throw away darts. What if someone really robs the darts? Who can guarantee it?
"Yes, if you don't dare to claim that you will never throw a bodyguard, it means there are still risks. Uncle Wu, let me ask you now, our Chen family has a bodyguard. What is the meaning of hiring a bodyguard?"
"Isn't it about safety? If the Chen family's flag can make everyone in the world afraid to rob escorts, then my nephew won't say a word, but the problem is that our Chen family's flag can be used in Nanyu Mansion. Let's go
What’s the use of Jinyun Mansion?”
"Whether hiring an escort is to prevent the future or increase safety, the purpose is to make the escort trip go smoothly."
"I am a trial disciple of Taiyi Immortal Sect. If some thieves come to rob the escort, and I reveal my identity, they will not look at the Chen family's face, but they must also look at the face of Taiyi Immortal Sect, right? I intercept and kill the trial disciple of Taiyi Immortal Sect on the way.
?This is not a small matter, is it?"
"Desperadoes don't dare to mess around. Does what I say make sense?"
When Chen Xuanqing opened his mouth, he spoke almost every word, leaving fifth uncle Chen Peng speechless.
Because this is the truth.
Taiyi Immortal Sect is one of the thirty-six Tiangang Dao Sects in the world. The Chen family is one of the best in Nanyu Mansion, but in front of Taiyi Immortal Sect, it is completely worthless. Therefore, with this status, no one dares to cause trouble.
Unless you don’t want to live anymore.
"Okay, okay, it's hard to make some money from you. Let's set off tomorrow at Yinshi. Don't get up too late."
Chen Peng was a little depressed, mainly because he couldn't convince Chen Xuanqing, so he had no choice but to agree.
Because bringing along Chen Xuanqing is indeed mutually beneficial.
"Then how much silver can I get from this escort trip?"
Seeing Chen Peng deflated, Chen Xuanqing felt very happy inside.
"Huh? You still want to take money? Xuanqing, are you crazy?"
Chen Peng was a little stunned. He agreed to let Chen Xuanqing take advantage of the benefits, but he still wanted to ask for money?
"Public is public, private is private, isn't that what you said? You have to give a little, after all, I can be considered half an escort, right? To be honest, if we encounter any big danger, I will be more effective than ten escorts
The teacher is still important.”
"Fifth Uncle, don't talk about your family with me now."
"I originally wanted to have a good talk with you as a family. I thought I would take advantage of the clan members, but what I got in exchange was alienation. If you don't give it, I would rather go alone."
Chen Xuanqing said with a firm tone.
These words made Chen Peng even more silent.
Finally, Chen Peng's voice sounded.
"I'll give you the normal escort price. You kid, it's a waste of your talent not to go into business. You have to go and cultivate some kind of immortality. Get up early tomorrow and don't waste time."
At that moment, Chen Peng left angrily, leaving Chen Xuanqing with a happy face.
