The next day when Yun Fei went out to find the escort agency, he heard someone talking.
It was said that the Jin family was attacked last night, and the target was the fifth lady who has been confirmed to be the goddess of heaven.
Several waves of people came and tried to snatch her away. Fortunately, people sent from the capital protected her and she was not snatched away.
It's been a long night and many dreams. Today, the Jin family is ready to move the whole family and has hired all the escort agencies in the city to escort them.
So now, there are no bodyguards in the city.
Traveling caravans can only find other ways to find bodyguards to travel.
In this case………
On the contrary, Yunfei felt that if he followed the caravan, the target would probably be bigger.
So he diverted to the livestock market to select horses.
"Sir, do you want to see horses or cows? My cows and horses are all in their prime." The horse dealer enthusiastically solicited.
The smile on his face was very flattering, showing big yellow teeth, which was a bit eye-catching.
"Watch the horses."
"Master, come and buy it from me. It's definitely worth it. How about this dark horse? Look at its legs, teeth, and body..."
"How much silver?"
The horse dealer made a gesture and said: "There are no customers today. I will give you one hundred and eighty taels, and I will treat you as a friend of the master."
Yunfei: "......"
Don't bully me because I don't understand the horse market. Why am I asking for thirty taels more to make friends?
This is an ordinary mature horse, and it can make a profit for eighty taels.
Two days ago, he resold some jewelry and got more than a thousand taels of silver.
In this kind of shopping mall, this kind of net worth is not impressive.
"Eighty taels, and give me a carriage. If it doesn't work, I'll go to another house first and ask."
The horse dealer looked hesitant and said, "Well, sir, please add another five taels of silver. The workmanship alone on my carriage carriage costs eight taels of silver. This is too much of a cut."
My little brother, I also have to earn dozens of pennies to support my family, right?"
"Three taels."
"It's OK, it's OK, sir, you are so good at bargaining. I think I'm going to get along with you, little brother, so I'll sell it at a loss."
Seeing the horse dealer's expression as if he had suffered a big loss, Yunfei looked calm.
He used to be really good at bargaining, but after being a rich man for several consecutive lives, he became a lot more unfamiliar.
"Help me get into the carriage and feed me enough hay before we leave."
"Okay, sir, don't worry."
…………
After buying a carriage and asking about the departure time of Qian's merchant team in the city, Yun Fei took the carriage back to the inn to pick up Wen Yue'er and the others.
I was afraid I wouldn't have time to eat on the way, so I bought a lot of dry biscuits and a small stove.
You can boil some hot water in the carriage, or heat pancakes, make some rice soup or something.
After checking out, they waited for Wen Yue'er and the others to come down with their children, and then drove the carriage out of the city.
But he didn't leave directly.
Instead, Yunfei waited for the team from Qian's Trading Company to walk a certain distance before he followed that road.
This is the only main road to Xueyuan Country.
In the next few days, he kept a close distance from the team. He would not get too close to harass others, nor would he stay too far away to keep up.
He held a simple map in his hand and kept comparing it.
It would take another two days, when we reached a crack in the road surrounded by mountains on both sides, that bandits would appear.
When the time comes, follow him. If something happens in front of him, he will take the opportunity to make a detour. If nothing happens, he will continue to follow.
Wen Yue'er was teaching Zhu Jinyu how to read the Book of Songs and how to read in the carriage.
Madam Dong hugged Zhu Jinhua, who was sleeping soundly, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you think Brother Hua has gained weight recently? The milk that Brother Wenrong bought is quite good."
Wen Yue'er also smiled, "I've gained weight, and my complexion has improved a lot."
After saying that, she looked at Zhu Jinxiu, who was holding the rattle in a daze, and Zhu Jinyu beside her, "Brother Yu and Sister Xiu's faces are also looking better."
"Brother Hua was born in your family. He is lucky to have a mistress like you who is willing to feed him blood." Otherwise, this baby would have starved to death.
Mrs. Dong felt that she, a literary girl, was too kind-hearted, so she could get along with her, a country peasant woman, without any airs.
Although he is down and out now, it is normal for noble people to look down on mud-legged people at any time.
But Wen Meizi and Wen Rong brothers would not do this and treated her like a relative.
In fact, it was Brother Zhu who was called Brother Zhu at the beginning. Yunfei felt a little awkward, so he said that it would be okay if he recognized a godson and asked him to get closer.
Wen Yue'er also sighed after hearing this, "If life were good, he wouldn't follow us and run around for his life.
Although he is not my child, he is my husband's biological child after all. If you call me mother, how can you watch him starve to death?"
If you have to say where Brother Hua's fortune is good, it is that he has three mothers, the mother who gave birth to him, his own mother who treats him as her own, and the godmother Dong who feeds him milk.
.
It was not easy to give him a mouthful of milk while being exiled with no water to drink.
"It will be fine. When we arrive in Xueyuan Country, we can settle down, plant a few acres of land, raise a few chickens and ducks, and our lives will slowly get better."
Looking at the retreating scenery outside the carriage window, several people raised their hopes for Xueyuan Kingdom.
…………
After a few days, we finally reached the gap in the road.
Yunfei cautiously stopped at the intersection without going in. Sure enough, after a while, the sound of fighting could be heard inside.
It is impossible to predict who will win and who will lose.
He decisively took a detour and separated from the traveling merchant team.
When we get here, the map is very clear, and there is no need to follow others for the rest of the journey.
But if we take a detour, it will take thirty days to reach the city that was originally reachable in more than half a month.
So Yunfei said to a few people in the car, "There's a fight ahead. We have to take a detour. It will probably take us ten more days."
"Husband, you just have to decide." Wen Yue'er responded obediently.
"Okay, please bear with me. We have many children and we can't afford to gamble."
There was a fight going on ahead, so there was no robber ambush on the side road. After all, all the combat power had been transferred to the main road.
The time for the business trip is all agreed upon, so they usually don't change the itinerary to avoid changes in their business partners.
This detour was not an option for them.
The bandits also knew this, and they naturally distinguished the importance. The merchant team was the most fat, and they could make a profit by just grabbing two carts of goods.
As for the little shrimp sneaking past here, I have no time to take care of it for the time being.
Normally, there would be someone guarding this place.
After nightfall, Yunfei did not stop.
It wasn't until we left the mountain that we finally stopped. At this time, the sky had already turned a touch of fish-white.
The horse had been galloping all day and all night, and now it was feeling a little sluggish.
He quickly stopped to feed it and let it rest, and called Wen Yue'er and the others to get off the carriage and relax their muscles.
Wen Yue'er and Madam Dong, who were too nervous to sleep, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wenrong, have we left the bandits' territory?"
