Chapter 008: Encountering Robbers While Escorting Goods in Cangzhou

Oh, how has your uncle been lately? It has been a few years since I last saw him

A Complete Compendium of Underworld Slang

Zhongyuan Escort Liu Qingfeng, which path are your brothers on?

Yang Jiaoxi also found it strange; this route had been in operation for four or five years, yet there had always been no one at Shenxian Crossing. The three of them waited for a while, but no one arrived. Yang Jiaoxi called out the escort number several times, but still no one came out

Hey! ... This mountain was planted by me, this tree was grown by me, if you want, if you want ...

The Five Little Dragons of the Yellow River

Of course I know him, he is my uncle

After a while, as the tea was brewing, four or five people emerged from a dilapidated thatched house at the ferry terminal. Leading them was a man in a green robe, armed and apologizing as he clasped his hands together, saying he had overslept and kept everyone waiting. A small, dark-skinned boy stepped forward and shouted:

Come on, continue, I know your uncle, do you know him

I do not know who you are, what is this, are you mocking me?

Since we are old acquaintances, I will help repay this 400 wen. By the way, let us become friends, so that in the future, when the Central Plains Escort Agency undertakes escort missions, it will be more convenient.

They have not been seen, all have been dead for several years

I do not know him, but I am acquainted with Master Hu San from the Second Hall of the Divine Fist Sect. Do you know him?

I do not know you, we are from the Five Halls of the Divine Fist Sect, and the hall master is Master Duan Wu, do you know him

I am Yuan Ye from the Divine Fist Sect. May I ask how you brothers are addressed

I know Qiu Erye from Heifengzhai in the Taihang Mountains, do you know him?

Brothers, hit me.

The man in the green robe slapped down, insisting that you recite properly, and this is how you recite! The little black boy cried out, saying he hadn't eaten enough at noon and had forgotten the words.

On the second day, upon arriving at the Immortal Ferry, we saw several logs placed at the ferry crossing and a patch of thorns. Instructor Yang quickly said, "He and I are in agreement." Upon hearing this, we immediately became tense. According to the rules of the martial world, the presence of large logs blocking the way indicates that someone is creating difficulties.

Master Yang clasped his fists and said, I am Yang Sanbiao from the Central Plains Escort Agency, and friends in the martial world kindly refer to me as Little Yang Flying Dart. Then the two began to converse in coded language. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to recall, the translation is as follows

The latest autumn clothing collection from Ruifuxiang consists of one hundred sets, with a total value of two hundred taels, and the escort silver amounts to 15 taels

On the route from the capital to Cangzhou, there are only four or five well-known peaks. The head of the group and the chief escort have already made good arrangements with them. On ordinary days and during festivals, there is mutual courtesy and exchanges. Along the way, after passing through several checkpoints, everyone is quite familiar with each other, and with a little bit of attention, they are allowed to pass.

Recently, during the dry season of the Yellow River, let's move to another place since people perish when relocated, but trees thrive when moved

The first escort mission of the convoy is to travel to Cangzhou, covering a distance of over 800 miles round trip, which will take approximately six days. The team is led by Instructor Yang. There are a total of two horse-drawn carts of goods, with Instructor Yang riding a horse, and the two of us sharing one cart.

Where did you buy it? It must be a pirated version

The Persian Ming Sect came to our vehicle, and there were some good things. I quickly tucked the book into my bosom, saying, "No, no." Why aren't you staying in that vehicle? That kid from Black Wind Stronghold is too dull; he gets all nervous as soon as he sets off. He reached out to take the book that Liu Qingfeng hadn't had time to hide, glanced at it, and said, "You are truly disgusting!" He was about to tear it apart, and we hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't! It's just one or two silver coins. This is supposed to be a good escort mission, and you're making it all chaotic." He was about to tear it apart again, and we quickly pulled him back, saying, "Don't! It's just one or two silver coins. This is supposed to be a good escort mission, and you're making it all chaotic."

Brother, please accept my condolences. A person cannot be brought back to life, so you must take care of yourself

At a glance, we could see that they were all unemployed drifters, none of whom went up to help. Liu Qingfeng displayed the unique skills of Wudang, and in no more than three to five moves, he had knocked these few individuals to the ground, leaving them searching for their teeth. "Spare me, sir."

Go to hell, amuse yourself at my expense

Mohamoh

I apologize, I remembered the wrong entrance. I know Mr. Shan Er from Longhu Gate, do you know him

Considering the transportation cost for each shipment, we consolidate four to five orders for delivery. The list of goods is as follows

I do not know you, but I know your mother. Do you know her?

There are also some miscellaneous items, all of which are to be delivered to Cangzhou

Well then, there aren't many pickled vegetables left at home, I won't keep them, brothers, let them go

Enough talk, do you still want to cut it?

It is said that Ximen Qing urged Wang Po, eager to meet that woman, and said: "Godmother, if you can help me with this matter, I will give you ten taels of silver."

You rascal, not focusing on your proper duties. Shh, keep your voice down. Liu Qingfeng said, I bought this for one or two silver coins, and when we get to Cangzhou, I can sell it for two taels. Oh, I am intrigued; isn't this a banned book? Precisely because it is a banned book, it is sold at such a high price. How many did you buy? I bought two copies, and I tossed him one tael of silver, one counts as mine

Instructor Yang stated that when dealing with such petty individuals from the underworld, not to mention myself, you alone would suffice. When out in the world, the key is to maintain a harmonious demeanor to generate wealth. Especially with these street hustlers, they only ask for four hundred wen, which is not much. If I give him some face and acknowledge our relationship, it will be beneficial for us in the future. Otherwise, if they have their eyes on you, they might create trouble for you without reason, which would be quite uncomfortable.

I do not know him, but I am acquainted with Manager Ma of the Nanhai Escort Agency. Do you know him?

Liu Qingfeng said, where did you learn that sharp tongue of yours

Having paid 400 wen, I crossed the Immortal's Ferry. Liu Qingfeng said, "Instructor Yang, I admire you greatly. It is indeed impressive how well-connected you are. No matter where these little thieves come from, you can always establish a connection with them.

Various medicinal materials from Tongrentang, valued at 200 taels, with escort silver amounting to 10 taels

I am your uncle, do you not recognize me

Thank you very much, we are in a hurry to escort the goods, when we return, we will certainly trouble you

Liu Qingfeng said, leave the money on you. A few people gathered thirty or forty copper coins, sir, what do you think. Get lost.

Two hundred sets of the Four Books and Five Classics from the Zhonghua Book Company, with a value of sixty taels, and a guard silver of five taels

Do not mourn, he still owes me 400 wen, and he never paid it back even until death

What? I have no idea what Longhu Gate is, nor do I know who Master Dan Er is. Liu Qingfeng widened his eyes, what?

Traveling with me is Liu Qingfeng, who is engrossed in reading a book along the way. I find it strange that this person, who usually talks the most, is so quiet today

We were all taken aback, unable to help but admire the coach's brilliance. After walking another forty to fifty li, we arrived at the Jinmen Ferry, where five or six young men blocked our way. The one shouting was a plump man with an oval shape. Liu Qingfeng, upon seeing this, chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "This time, I will take the lead," and then ran forward to address the situation.

Oh, the Analects of Zhuzi, you rascal want to become the top scholar. Liu Qingfeng wore a smug smile, and I reached out to take it, glancing at it.

Well said, since you are here, why not have a drink together
