Chapter 238 Going to Trade
The junction of Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
Bai Jingzhi slept soundly in the space for a day and a night. It was still dark when she came out.
"Sister Yue'e, you can also come in and rest. You don't have to keep watch."
Zhou Yue'e was sitting cross-legged on the carriage. Upon hearing her words, she quickly stopped practicing and gently got into the carriage. "Are you awake? How was your rest? It's not dawn yet, you can sleep a little longer."
Bai Jingzhi had already packed up and was fiddling with a gold bracelet in his hand, with a small bottle next to it.
She opened the mechanism of the gold bracelet, took out the needle inside, and dipped it twice in the bottle.
"Sister Yue'e, go in and rest first, and gather your strength. I'll bring you out when the time is up."
Bai Jingzhi took Zhou Yue'e into the space without saying anything.
Then she quickly came out and continued to busy herself with tempering the needles with medicine.
No one noticed the movement in the carriage.
Wei Liu closed his eyes and rested beside the fire, adding some firewood to the fire from time to time, and glanced at Jiang Lan at the same time.
On the other side, except for Jiang Lan who was relaxed and fell into a deep sleep, the other people in Yanzhou did not sleep well.
A few days ago, Jiang Zhu passed some news to Changbo and Bai Jingzhi before King Yan. Two days later, King Yan's letter arrived at Wujiyuan.
Bai Jingzhi had two days to think of a strategy in advance.
Changbo didn't know what was in Bai Jingzhi's letter. The letter he received only told him to obey Bai Jingzhi in everything.
"Brother Changbo, the three of us will not follow you back this time. It just so happens that the prince doesn't want me either, and even wants to kill me, so the three of us should stay in Wujiyuan."
Jiang Lan's temper did not subside at all along the way. The closer he got to the transaction location, the more irritable he became.
Wei Liu couldn't stand it and warned him several times.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you. We have to be careful when the day breaks. We don't know when those people will come out. Don't let them kill you."
The two of them smiled at each other tacitly.
"The prince is so cruel that he would personally kill his own eldest son." Wei Li sighed a few times and couldn't help but feel lucky that he could get away from Prince Yan this time.
If he stayed there any longer, he might have lost his life at any time at the hands of the Prince of Yan and his son.
"It's daybreak, so be careful. Follow Miss Bai's instructions. As long as we return to Yanzhou safely, that's all."
Chang Bo sighed, "See you next time, I hope we are not enemies."
"No, Wujiyuan is not developing that fast, how can it compete with you." Wei Li didn't realize that he said it too early, and he would want to slap himself in the face if they met again in the future.
Ren Shui and Ren Bing listened on the side and breathed a sigh of relief that they could still stay in Wujiyuan.
It was daybreak and there was a light mist in the air.
Bai Jingzhi and his companions had a simple meal to fill their stomachs before setting off for the trading place.
The two parties had agreed yesterday to make the transaction after mutual inspection.
The Princess of Yan did not rest on the spot. They stayed in the post station, where the food and craftsmen were stored and guards patrolled day and night.
When Bai Jingzhi and his companions were about to reach the post station, "Sister Yue'e, stop for a moment. Give these pills to Sixth Grandpa and let the people of Yanzhou eat them all."
Zhou Yue'e took the small porcelain bottle and quickly went to Wei Liu, whispering, "Grandpa Liu, ask Jingzhi to let them take these pills. They will lose their strength when they arrive at the post station..."
After Wei Liu took it, he lowered his head and smelled it, "I knew... this little girl is naughty."
He didn't spend too much effort and went straight into the carriage to feed Jiang Lan one.
"Puh~" Jiang Lan stuck his head out of the car window and vomited, but it was too late. "Ahem, what did you give me to eat?"
Wei Liu acted very quickly and the people in Yanzhou were unable to react in time.
He held Jiang Lan hostage, "Come here one by one, eat this candy bean and I will release your prince."
No one in Yanzhou expected that when they were almost at the post station, Wei Liu would turn against them.
They had been quiet all the way and were not wary of Wei Liu.
Chang Bo came out first, "Don't hurt the prince! Without the prince, you will lose your food and craftsmen. We will eat, you let go."
He was the first to dismount, and the rest followed suit.
"Come here!" Wei Liu asked them to come in turns. He would not feel at ease until he saw these people swallow it with their own eyes.
The change happened unexpectedly, and Wei Li had no idea what tricks his cousin was playing.
After this period of contact, he believed that Bai Jingzhi would not harm them.
After these people were dealt with, they set off again.
Jiang Lan sat in the carriage, his face ashen, and he said nothing.
"What exactly are you giving us to eat?" He was calm for only a moment, then he clenched his fists and knocked hard on the carriage.
"..."
Wei Liu actually didn’t know what they were eating. They were about to arrive at the post station and throw away their luggage. Wei Liu ignored Jiang Lan’s venting.
They appeared near the post station, and spies had already been sent to the post station layer by layer.
Upon hearing this, Princess Yan rushed to the door and waited.
She didn't sleep well last night and woke up early in the morning, looking forward to this moment.
This time when she came here, she didn't bring anyone to serve her.
On the way here, she was resting in the carriage and did not show up.
Everyone knew that Princess Yan was in poor health.
Whether she was safe or not, she was dead in the eyes of these people.
The people who came here to trade this time were all strangers, whom she had never seen before.
At this moment, she felt more and more unfamiliar with Jiang Ye, and she didn't know how many things Jiang Ye was hiding from her.
In order to take their lives, Jiang Ye really spent a lot of money.
These people are quite skilled in martial arts, and it takes more than ten years to train them.
Before she could think about it, Bai Jingzhi and the others had already arrived at the post station.
Princess Yan couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but was stopped just as she was about to shout.
"Princess, wait a minute. We need to check if the person in the car is the prince himself."
Princess Yan had never seen the person leading the team this time before. "Get lost!"
Princess Yan gave a gentle push and was able to break free from his restraints.
"Lan'er!"
Her voice was soft, but it penetrated into everyone's ears.
Zhou Yue'e raised her head and looked inquiringly at the woman standing in front of her.
"The Princess of Yan is good at martial arts, and her internal strength is not weak."
Bai Jingzhi was already outside the carriage at this time and heard Zhou Yue'e's reminder.
"It's okay! Sister Yue'e, you will carry that thing on your back and follow my instructions. Except for the two of us, everyone else can faint."
Bai Jingzhi's words attracted Zhou Yue'e's strange look, "Sixth Grandfather also wants--"
"Shh~" Before she could finish, Bai Jingzhi nodded to stop her, "Returning to the Garden and Fields must not be disclosed."
Zhou Yue'e understood and was even more excited. She had Jingzhi's trust more than Wei Liu.
On the other side, Princess Yan stretched out her arms, "My son! You are finally back safely."
She pulled Jiang Lan over and protected her behind her, with her right hand on her waist.
The captain came up and asked, "Princess, is this the prince?"
Princess Yan nodded, "Yes!"
"That's good! Get started!" the captain shouted directly, "Don't leave any one alive."
