Chapter 37?? Conditions
Qin Feng rubbed his forehead hard, and what he could not imagine was that the follow-up matters in Ganzhou were really difficult to deal with. When merchants transported grain from Jinzhou to Ganzhou for trading, they were not for making money, but for gradually transferring risks. The battles inside the pass were too frequent, which made many merchants restless. Many people wanted to leave inside and go outside the pass to do business.
After much persuasion, the merchants in Ganzhou finally stabilized, and time was about to pass.
On the way back, Qin Feng did not forget Heluo Village, nor did Pei Changhao and the other three people. When he passed by Huaiyuan County, he went to Heluo Village to take a look, but there was still no news.
When he entered the pass, Qin Feng became very careful. No matter how big or small, he discussed with his second uncle Qin Wuhui. Their group of ten people were all riding horses, and there were definitely people who were jealous of several of them. Qin Wuhui once suggested whether to act separately and rush back to Jinzhou in two or three batches. This would not be eye-catching. Unfortunately, Qin Feng's younger sister Qin Yunshu disagreed and must follow Qin Wuhui and Qin Feng.
Qin Feng and Qin Wuhui are the core of the ten-person team. If they act separately, from a safety perspective, the two must lead the team. Qin Yunshu is the most loved person in the Qin family. If they do not agree to Qin Feng and Qin Wuhui's separation, the two of them have no choice.
However, the team of ten people and ten horses also has some advantages, that is, the strength is relatively large, and ordinary bandits dare not covet it, and they can also avoid a lot of trouble. They just need to grasp the pace of travel faster and make careful plans every day.
Starting from Ganzhou, I passed the desert and Helan Mountain along the way, passed Xiazhou, and entered Lingzhou, but I didn't encounter any trouble.
This made Qin Feng feel a little relieved.
When the knock on the door sounded, Qin Feng was stunned. Just now, he and his second uncle Qin Wuhui had carefully discussed the itinerary for tomorrow's journey. He had considered everything he should consider. Could it be that the second uncle had thought of something again?
When he opened the door and saw the person standing outside, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment and his face turned pale.
"After leaving in the desert, it's been more than a month in a blink of an eye. I didn't expect that we could meet here."
Qin Feng's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly.
"You, how do you know that we are in Wenchi County? Are you following us?"
Pei Changhao shook his head.
"I don't have that much leisure yet. Okay, long story short, you are in fatal danger. I'll remind you specifically, if you believe me, then go to the xx Inn outside the city. I will tell you the details. If you don't believe me, then let's leave if I didn't say anything."
Qin Feng quickly clasped his fists at Pei Changhao.
"Brother Pei, don't worry, I believe you, being able to meet again here is considered to be our destiny, so why not sit down and have a cup of tea."
"By the way, I'm in the lower house, Qin Feng, and I live in Jinzhou City..."
Pei Changhao also clasped his fists at Qin Feng.
"It turns out that it's Brother Qin. Fortunately, I have some things to deal with. If Brother Qin believes in the matter, he will go to the inn outside the city. If he doesn't believe it, don't come and say goodbye."
Before Pei Changhao finished speaking, he had already walked to the stairs.
Qin Feng followed out of the room and watched Pei Changhao go downstairs and leave the restaurant.
Pei Changhao had been away for several minutes, and Qin Feng was still standing at the entrance of the stairs, without any intention of returning to the room.
"Qin Feng, what's wrong with you? I just heard someone knocking on your door and hearing you talking to someone. I thought it was my little sister looking for you."
Qin Feng turned his head and looked at Qin Wuhui.
"Second uncle, it was Pei Changhao who knocked on my door just now..."
Qin Wuhui suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Qin Feng.
"You, what did you say? It's Pei Changhao. We have been looking for him all the time. What did he do? Will he still dare to come?"
Qin Feng looked at Qin Wuhui and spoke in a low voice.
"Second uncle, Pei Changhao said, we are in fatal trouble. If you believe what he said, go to the xx Inn outside the city. He will tell us the details. If you don't believe what he said, just pretend that he didn't say anything."
Qin Wuhui frowned and thought for a moment.
"Qin Feng, we must go. Since Pei Changhao came to the restaurant to report the news, he must know something. You met Pei Changhao in the desert. According to the principle, he could not avoid it. Even if we encounter danger, it had nothing to do with him. He could ignore it. Besides, our group of ten people and ten horses is indeed a bit silly, and it is indeed possible to encounter big trouble. If we don't know anything, it will be too late to regret it when we really get to that point."
Qin Feng nodded.
"Uncle II, I'll just go there. The city gate will be closed soon. After leaving the city, I may not be able to return to the hotel. After I leave, I will ask Uncle II for everything about the hotel. If I encounter any danger and cannot return to the hotel, Uncle II will take everyone away from Wenchi County and return to Jinzhou as quickly as possible."
Qin Wuhui waved his hand.
"Qin Feng, there will be no danger in the city. I must accompany you to the inn outside the city. If something happens, we can deal with it together. My sister and everyone have rested. When the city gate opens tomorrow morning, we will not waste much time when we come back. Besides, I think that since Pei Changhao can find us, he will not do anything that is unfavorable to us. If he wants to do it, he would have done it long ago..."
...
When the two Hequ horses rushed out of the south gate, the sergeant looked up and said that the city gate was about to close. Someone was riding out at this time. Could it be that they were preparing to travel at night?
There are only two or three inns outside the city, all of which are concentrated on both sides of the official road, and you can find them with your eyes closed.
When we were about to arrive at the inn, Qin Feng dismounted, and Qin Wuhui dismounted too.
"Qin Feng, after seeing Pei Changhao, you must calm down and see what he wants to do. I think he will tell us such important news and must have something to ask for. When you speak, you must be careful not to be fooled by him."
"Uncle Second, I understand. Don't worry, I know how to do it."
Pei Changhao stood outside the inn, clasping his fists at Qin Feng and others who were coming.
"Brother Qin, you are here, who is this person?"
Qin Feng clasped his fists at Pei Changhao and returned the salute.
"Brother Pei, this is my second uncle Qin Wuhui. Come with me. Brother Pei doesn't object."
Pei Changhao laughed.
"All visitors are guests. I have prepared a dinner at the inn. Brother Pei invites you, and Mr. Wuhui invites you."
The inn guy came out and helped him lead the horse.
There were wine and food on the table, and it was still steaming. The entire lobby was the wine and food on this table.
After Qin Feng and Qin Wuhui sat down, Pei Changhao picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the two of them.
When he picked up the wine bowl, Pei Changhao spoke with a smile on his face.
"More than a month have passed since we met in the desert. I would like to thank Brother Qin for not hesitating anymore. After leaving Heluo Village, Brother Qin and Mr. Wuhui are probably both doubting me. I have destroyed the caravan you guarded. I don't want to say much about this. I have never seen the caravan, let alone destroy the caravan you guarded."
"Brother Qin and Mr. Wuhui are in fatal trouble. This is true. I have a letter here. You can take a closer look and understand everything."
Pei Changhao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng opened the letter and looked carefully. After a while, his body began to tremble and his face turned pale.
The letter was delivered to Qin Wuhui very quickly.
After reading the letter, Qin Wuhui's body trembled and his face turned pale.
Qin Feng stood up suddenly and bowed to Pei Changhao with his fists.
"Brother Pei saved us and the Qin family. I am here to thank you. If Brother Pei encounters any trouble in the future, as long as I tell me Qin Feng, I will do my best..."
Qin Wuhui also clasped his fists at Pei Changhao.
"Brother Chang Hao, thank you for your help, otherwise we will really not be able to go back tomorrow."
Pei Changhao picked up the wine bowl.
"Brother Qin, Mr. Wuhui, after doing this bowl of wine, please listen carefully to what I want to say next. I will tell you such a big news and help you temporarily eliminate danger. There must be conditions."
Qin Feng and Qin Wuhui both picked up the wine bowls.
After Pei Changhao finished drinking the wine in the bowl, Qin Feng followed him without hesitation. Qin Wuhui took a sip and placed the wine bowl on the table.
Pei Changhao's obscene light swept towards Qin Wuhui and the wine bowl placed on the table.
"I am a child of the Pei family in Hedong. My father, Pei Che, was killed by the Hezhong Jiedushi Wang Chongrong last year because of supporting King Xiang Li Ying. My parents and all my family members were killed. I was the only one left and I was lucky enough to survive."
"My father is a criminal in the court, and I am the son of a criminal minister. Naturally, I am not tolerated by the court. However, I don't care much about the attitude of the emperor and the court. In today's world, the military governors from all over the country have their own troops. The court has long been undermined. The emperor has no time to take care of himself, and I am afraid I will not care about me, a person without power."
"I must survive. If anyone wants to plot against me and want my life, I will not be polite. No matter who he is, even a powerful military governor, I will fight him. Now I can't fight him, so I will avoid it. One day, I will step on my feet."
"Brother Qin, this is our third meeting, the first time we are in the desert, the second time we are in the restaurant in the city, this is the third time, we are already familiar with each other, and I hope to get help from Brother Qin and the Qin family and contribute to me at critical moments."
Qin Wuhui looked up suddenly.
Pei Changhao looked at Qin Wuhui and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Wuhui, don't be nervous. I will not force your Qin family to do this. You have a night to think about it. Before the city gate is opened tomorrow, you will reply to me. If you agree to my request, we will promise a thousand gold. The Qin family is one with me. If you don't want to, just pretend that we have never seen each other before and will be passers-by from now on."
"Okay, this table of banquets is pretty good. We drink and eat, and we will talk about everything until we have enough food."
