1, re re re Route
Five days have passed since the departure from Luyang Villa, and it has been more than a thousand miles away from the capital. Yaozhou City is not far ahead. In the evening, Yaozhou City could already be seen from afar. The seventh prince motioned to stop behind and said to the bodyguard on the side, "After Yaozhou, it's just a place that doesn't care about the three things. The green forest is strong, and the public security is relatively poor. Inform the brothers that we are going to have a good rest in Yaozhou tonight, and we will have to work 120,000 points of energy from tomorrow.
The bodyguard arched his hand to him and turned around to order him to go down.
The seventh prince controlled the horse and walked to the carriage and said to Cheng Yuanjia, who was dressed up as the teenager in the car, "Brother Cheng, the conditions on the road will be difficult from tomorrow. If you want to prepare any necessities, buy them in Yaozhou City. We will live in Yaozhou for a day and replenish some support.
Cheng Yuanjia nodded and said, "Okay, the Cheng family also has business in Yaozhou. Let me just take a look at the business situation here."
She is now dressed as a man, and her voice is close to that of a teenager. If she hadn't known that she was Cheng Yuanjia, she would not recognize her even in person. In fact, there was no susceptibility powder on her face at all, but she changed the muscles of her face and made her face slightly change. Of course, the seventh prince will not know the truth, just think that her change is very successful.
Although Yaozhou City is not big, it is still prosperous. After staying in the inn, Cheng Yuanjia asked the seventh prince for a few bodyguards and took her maidservant out to buy. Considering that he had to go on the road, Cheng Yuanjia did not buy it recklessly. He just bought some necessary supplies and went around each Chengjia store. The Cheng family has five shops and three silver numbers in Yaozhou City. Two of them have been secretly controlled by Cheng Yuanjia. As for the three silver numbers... In fact, there are not many silver accounts that Cheng Jia can really control, which are basically operated by Cheng Yuanjia. Cheng Yuanjia's devouring Cheng family's industry began with the silver number. In a few years, even if the Cheng family's silver number spread all over the country, it has become Cheng Yuanjia's private treasury. After she walked around in Yaozhou City, the remaining three Chengjia shops were also controlled by her. On the surface, it was still the property of the Cheng family. In fact, the person in charge of the operation has become her puppet. Along with the seventh prince, Cheng Yuanjia was not tired of swallowing the property belonging to the Cheng family all the way. For her, what is controlled in her own hands is the most trustworthy.
Because his father Cheng Yuhang was no longer responsible for operating the Cheng family's industry after he became an official, Cheng Yuanjia devoured the Cheng family's industry without any guilt or taboo. He swallowed it as much as he wanted, regardless of whether the means were glorious or not. Cheng Yuhang was actually very clear about what his daughter was doing. Although he didn't understand how she did it, he had no intention of stopping his daughter's behavior. He is also a very selfish person. He knows that the Cheng family has a great career. Even if he plays an important role, he does not occupy the position of the head of the family, and he is still relatively unfavorable in the clan. Now the empress dowager is supported, and the elders and owners of the clan have given him face. If the empress dowager dies and Cheng Yuanjia is not married well, he will be in danger. But now that Cheng Yuanjia controls most of the industry of the Cheng family, the situation is different. Even if Cheng Yuanjia does not marry the seventh prince, or the seventh prince fails to seize the reserve, with a large amount of property in her hand, he can completely fight for the position of head of the family after resigning.
Cheng Yuanjia really didn't care much about her father's thoughts. Half of her devouring Cheng's property was out of the instinct of practitioners, and the other half was unwilling to inherit the family property as a woman. In the world of cultivation, there is no difference between men and women, because women are not weaker than men in terms of cultivation potential, or even slightly higher than men, and the evaluation standard of strength is realm, not strength. Therefore, among the leaders and elders in each sect, the proportion of men and women is basically half and half, among the highest-level strong personnel. Women are also slightly higher than men, including people with terrible strength like Su Ling. In the world of cultivation, the occupation of resources is the key factor that determines the strength of the sect and each person, so practitioners will always pay attention to plundering the surrounding resources and control all the resources that can be occupied in their own hands.
When he came back in the evening, there were more than a dozen people behind Cheng Yuanjia. Even if she had controlled her desire to buy, she still bought a whole car of supplies. When the seventh prince saw these things bought by Cheng Yuanjia, his face turned a little dark. She paid attention to enjoyment and even bought a tent, which was super luxurious. There were all kinds of supplies in it, and even had a wool carpet. As for food, it's more like an outing than rushing.
"Are you sure you want to take all these with you?" The seventh prince stared at Cheng Yuanjia, who didn't care.
"Why don't you buy it with me?" Cheng Yuanjia commanded the servants sent by the Cheng family to load everything into another newly bought car in an orderly manner and said, "Anyway, you don't walk fast. This car can completely keep up."
"But the road we took this time is not all official roads. In some places, carriages can't walk at all." The seventh prince shook his head and said, "I'm going to ask you to put the carriage here and ride with me."
Cheng Yuanjia glanced at him and said angrily, "Do you think I may ride with you?"
The seventh prince suddenly became dumb. Now Cheng Yuanjia pretends to be a teenager of his age, and he is just a civilian. How can he sit on the same horse as the prince? If he really sits up, he will inevitably be misunderstood that he has a special hobby. If she was asked to ride with other bodyguards, the seventh prince would never agree.
After calculation, the seventh prince said derangedly, "I'd better look at the map again and choose a road that the car can take. Maybe this will delay for two or three days.
At the same time, more than 100 miles away from Yaozhou Cheng, a team of nearly a thousand people hid in the old nest of a mountain thief on the roadside. These people wiped out the mountain thieves here with lightning speed, put on their clothes, and quietly waited for some people to pass by.
"Are you sure that the seventh prince will pass through this canyon?" The leader's waist was straight, and there was a faint smell of iron and blood from soldiers.
"It's definitely not wrong. There are our people in his team, and this route is what he passed on to us." A young man standing on the side said, "This is the only way to Minzhou. If you go around here, you will have to walk for at least two more days."
The leader nod and said, "In this case, we should prepare all the traps, and the rolling stones on the mountain should be well prepared. The people he brought are all masters. Only by hitting them hard at the beginning can we reduce our losses. Don't be alarmed by anyone who has passed by here these two days, so as not to leak the wind.
"Don't worry, there are not many people passing by this road, because there is no carriage, caravans and darts do not pass here. Only those who ride horses will come here because it is much closer." The young man said with a smile.
The next day, he couldn't laugh, because the seventh prince did not go in this direction after starting from Yaozhou City, but chose another wide but detour like the ordinary caravan.
Originally, the road he took was agreed when he was in the capital, and there would be responding officials along the way. His change of course will disrupt all the layouts behind him, and the impact is not a little. However, he still changed his way because of Cheng Yuanjia's two carriages. However, since he had changed his way, he simply asked the bodyguards to install two other carriages to save himself from fatigue.
Cheng Yuanjia did not feel that he was dragging down the seventh prince at all. On the road, he often asked the seventh prince to sit in his carriage and talk with her, and the seventh prince could only smile bitterly at this wayward young lady.
After more than half a day, a caravan appeared in front of me. Cheng Yuanjia picked up the curtain and looked at it. The seventh prince, who was by the carriage, said, "Sent someone to talk to the leader of the caravan and let the caravan follow us."
The seventh prince wondered, "Where are you acting?"
Cheng Yuanjia shook the curtain angrily, and an angry voice came from the carriage: "That's our Cheng family's caravan."
The seventh prince rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly again. Her dress was changed to a man's style, but her nature was not changed at all.
The guards were very curious about the prince Cheng, who dared to shake his face at the seventh prince all the way. Although the seventh prince has always had a good temper and does not put on airs, he is the emperor's son after all. This Mr. Cheng is too character.
Without waiting for the order of the seventh prince, a bodyguard who heard the conversation between the two on the other side of the carriage had already rode his horse across the team and ran to the caravan in front of him.
