Chapter 232: Only three people go
No trace of Yuan.
"Jingzhi, are you sure it's just the three of us going?"
Before leaving, Wei Liu confirmed it again with Bai Jingzhi.
Those who followed this time included Wei Liu, Bai Jingzhi and Zhou Yue'e, and all those who followed from Lingzhou stayed in Wujiyuan.
Before, Wei Liu thought Bai Jingzhi was just joking and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Wei Liu was completely furious. "With so much food and craftsmen, what can the three of us do? We may not even be able to return safely."
"Sixth Grandpa, don't worry. I know what I'm doing here, and I guarantee that we'll return with a full load." Bai Jingzhi didn't give any specific explanation, and the three of them and the people from Yanzhou set off directly.
There were two carriages for this trip, and the rest of the people rode horses.
The transaction was about to begin, and Bai Jingzhi offered Jiang Lan a reward, including a carriage of his own.
Wei Liu was driving the car for Jiang Lan, and he was worried all the way.
The King of Yan is not as simple as he seems.
There were only three of them, so what could they do?
If the King of Yan changed his mind, he could easily get rid of the three of them without any loss of people or food.
Jiang Lan sat in the carriage, holding a hand warmer with tea next to him, "Changbo, come in."
Changbo had been following the carriage and had no choice but to dismount and enter the carriage.
"Prince, what do you want me to do?" Chang Bo's face was expressionless. "We will be returning to Yanzhou soon, so you should be quiet and not cause trouble."
"I was too harsh before. We are still relatives." Jiang Lan was the first to give in.
Changbo did not let down his guard, "Prince, just tell me what you want to do. Changbo is a little scared."
Jiang Lan didn't beat around the bush. "Changbo, I won't let my father replace Wei Li this time. Help me solve this problem."
He simply made a machete shape with his hand and pointed it at his neck.
Changbo got off the carriage without saying a word.
"You ungrateful bastard, you don't even know who your master is." Jiang Lan was a little furious, and his whole expression was not good.
"This gentleman called you in again, what's the matter?" Wei Li handed him the reins, "Why are you so angry?"
Chang Bo sneered, "That person takes himself too seriously. He wants me to kill you, but he is still jumping around when he can't even protect himself."
There were two letters from Jiang Zhu, delivered by another eagle.
They received it a few days ago, one from Bai Jing and one from him.
After Changbo finished reading the letter, he also showed it to Wei Li. The letter reminded them that the King of Yan wanted food but not people, and Jiang Zhu asked them to act according to the circumstances.
"Oh, the King of Yan would rather have me alive than him!" Wei Li sneered, "He didn't die in the Lingzhou Incident this time, and he won't have a good time after returning."
Wei Li had already guessed that the Prince of Yan was also involved in the affairs of Lingzhou.
"My Lord, you can stay or go as you please. It's OK if you don't want to return to Yanzhou. When I return to Yuzhou, you will still be welcome."
Changbo admired Wei Li very much. Wei Li was a son of an aristocratic family and had fought his way up from a small soldier to the position of captain.
Wei Li is not a useless person like Jiang Lan, he has real abilities.
"This time I'm going to take advantage of the situation and stay in Wujiyuan. My brothers and sisters are still young. Without a brother like me, the Wei family will naturally have to raise them to adulthood."
Wei Li declined Chang Bo's offer and said, "If we meet on the battlefield in the future, you don't have to show mercy."
It is better to make some things clear in advance than to be taken advantage of later.
Jiang Zhu is not an ordinary person, so why would he hide in a corner of Yuzhou?
Wei Li also knew something about Bai Jingzhi's thoughts. In order to avenge the Wei family, she wanted to become a prince and rule a region.
In this world, only if you have power can you live freely.
"Okay, everyone has their own aspirations, and you won't force me to stay." Changbo had already anticipated Wei Li's choice.
He saw how Wei Li treated the brother and sister these days.
"Captain Wei is a man who values love."
The two of them smiled knowingly and hurried on their way.
Bai Jingzhi and his team took a long detour before they reached the border of Yuzhou from Wujiyuan.
They didn't take the main road, but chose the small path.
After entering the territory of Yuzhou, they traveled south for about three days and arrived at the agreed location.
This is exactly the border between Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
"We're finally here!" Bai Jingzhi got out of the carriage, opened his arms and stretched.
"When are you coming over?" Jiang Lan came over with a clatter, not even needing to hide the pride in his tone.
"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry? One more day won't make any difference. Have a good rest tonight and we'll talk about it tomorrow." After saying this, Bai Jingzhi ignored him.
She also saw Jiang Lan's performance these days.
This person wanted to do something bad to Wujiyuan, but he didn't know that he was the one who was abandoned.
Jiang Zhu informed Bai Jingzhi, who felt a little sympathetic towards Princess Yan.
Having such a son, the Princess of Yan is still running around for him. She is really unlucky.
Instead of going into the city, they hid in a wild forest and planned to spend the night outdoors.
After a simple settlement, the people of Yanzhou began to rest and recuperate.
Changbo has already informed them that there will be a tough battle to fight, so they naturally have to be more alert tomorrow.
In the evening, after everyone had rested, Wei Liu went to Bai Jingzhi again.
He watched Bai Jingzhi writing and drawing without saying a word.
"Sixth Grandpa, just say whatever you want to say. I can't paint well if you stare at me like this." Bai Jingzhi stopped writing helplessly, "Don't worry, we will be fine."
Wei Liu has lived for decades and has seen everything but has never been afraid. This time, he was a little nervous.
"What do you have in mind? With that much food, just the three of us plus a few hundred craftsmen and a dozen horses, can we really get back safely?"
Wei Liu still didn't believe it and felt unsure.
The disparity is too great. If they go further south, they will reach the territory of King Yan, and they will easily lose both their wives and their food.
"Sixth Grandpa, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in my luck." Bai Jingzhi was a little helpless, "There are too many people. The fewer people who know about my plan, the better."
Wei Liu could only get up and leave, no longer pressing her to ask questions.
"Jingzhi, you haven't told Sixth Grandpa yet?" After everyone left, Zhou Yue'e came over.
"The fewer people who know, the better. The more people who know, the greater the risk of leakage." Bai Jingzhi threw the paper into the bonfire. "My father has already prepared it."
"Sister Yue'e, take these potions. When the time comes, use the thing I taught you that day and spray them on those people when they aren't paying attention."
Bai Jingzhi was worried and reminded him again.
"I already know how to use it, don't worry." Zhou Yue'e tightened her fur coat and said, "Go to the carriage. I'll stay here and no one will notice."
Bai Jingzhi's body could no longer bear the strain from traveling for days, and Zhou Yue'e felt a little distressed when she saw this.
"Sister Yue'e, are you afraid?"
Zhou Yue'e shook her head. "Of course I'm not afraid. I've encountered so many life-and-death crises, and I was able to get through them smoothly every time as long as I listened to you."
Bai Jingzhi smiled faintly without saying anything, got on the carriage and then disappeared.
