C333 The Red-bearded Pei Donglai
He could not delay this matter any longer.
Indeed, as Xiao Yun had said, their speed of advancing was very slow.
The merchant group only left the city gate during the day.
After that, they rested.
They set up camp not far from the city gates.
The group of people immediately started to move. Soon, they created a camp that could be considered warm. Everyone ate and drank. Although they were obviously curious why they walked so slowly, they enjoyed the process very much.
Xiao Yun looked at everyone's preparations and nodded his head in satisfaction after a while.
Hong Xiluo sat beside Xiao Yun and looked at his expression.
He suddenly understood.
"Oh, so Young Master Xiao wants to see their ability to set up camp. If there is anything wrong, this place is very close to the city gate. You can change it immediately."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "After all, we need to go on a long journey. If there is even the slightest flaw, it will be infinitely magnified during a long journey. Things that are originally unimportant might become fatal, so it's better to prepare well."
Hong Xiluo nodded, then smiled and said, "In fact, Young Master Xiao doesn't need to worry so much. These people were carefully selected by me. As for the guards, they are also excellent enough, so there won't be too many problems."
"It's just that there are many guards, that's why I need to take a good look at the situation."
"Why?"
"A moment ago, there was a group of people hiding in our Xiao family's workshop. Although they didn't actually steal anything, they did it in an orderly manner. Furthermore, they were definitely well-trained. I want to take a look. The people here are the same type as those people. "
" This... How is this possible? "
Hong Xiluo hurriedly laughed dryly.
This kind of thing. Too direct, it's a little hard to accept in a short amount of time.
However, the fact that someone had entered the Xiao family's workshop wasn't something that outsiders didn't know about.
Hong Xiluo knew it.
As for whether or not he had sent anyone in, only he knew.
Because even if there were survivors, they wouldn't stay.
Xiao Yun also laughed and said, "This matter is indeed a little too abrupt. It should not be so easy to suspect you. But you have to understand. This is human nature. After all, you have experienced so many things. I have to maintain a skeptical attitude. "
Hong Xiluo smiled awkwardly and naturally understood.
In fact, Xiao Yun did not need to say it so clearly.
Some things, just stop at the tip of the iceberg.
The night passed peacefully.
After eating and drinking enough, he went to sleep.
The carriage was wrapped up in a thick cloth. There was no wind at all. It was very warm.
In addition to the small furnace that the Xiao family's craftsmen had modified, the temperature was very high. Even in this winter, Xiao Yun did not feel any discomfort.
He slept soundly.
Wait for the next day. He slept until he woke up naturally.
The others, on the other hand, had woken up long ago.
They were all waiting for him.
After all, everyone knew that walking out of bed in the morning was a rather painful matter.
Waiting. Xiao Yun drank the hot porridge and got used to the cold outside. Then he immediately got back into the carriage and said, "Let's go."
Only then did the group set off.
This... In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed very strange!
Because this merchant group was Hong Xiluo's merchant group.
Many of them were Old Man Ma's men.
No matter what, the person in charge of this merchant group was not Xiao Yun.
But at this moment, he was the one in charge.
Furthermore, no one had any doubts or hesitation towards this point.
Even the lowest ranking footman didn't have any doubts either.
This was an inconceivable matter, but it seemed to have become a very ordinary matter by Xiao Yun's side.
Eighteen miles did not require an entire day's time.
They arrived in half a day's time.
However, Xiao Yun didn't want to leave anymore.
He had been sitting in the carriage all this time, but he was the first one to complain about being tired.
Then he walked into the station.
The people at the station also changed their appearance.
Guan Weiying didn't even look at Lu Yin. He didn't even ask about Xiao Yun's identity and let him into the house.
There was a table there. On top of it was a freshly stewed mutton and freshly heated wine.
There was even a cushion that had just been roasted by charcoal.
Xiao Yun walked straight in and sat on the futon. It was natural and natural.
Then he raised his hand and made a very fake etiquette towards his surroundings.
"There aren't many people here."
Apart from some servants and Yang Shuo, there was only one more person on the scene.
This person was about sixty years old, and he was very muscular. What Xiao Yun paid the most attention to was his beard.
It was red!
It was not red, but dark red. It was like it was not completely black. It was a little brown, but heavier than brown.
It was a very strange color.
Xiao Yun thought for a while before turning it red.
With just this beard alone, Xiao Yun could know the other party's identity.
Pei Donglai.
The person in charge of the East Town Security Division.
His status was similar to Yang Shuo's.
The only thing he lacked was that the place that the East Supporting Division managed was relatively peaceful. He had slightly fewer soldiers under his command, and they were not as well-equipped as the South Supporting Division.
That was all.
He could also be considered a big shot!
Looking at the two people in front of him and thinking about the two of them sitting in front of him, Xiao Yun found it interesting.
The generals of Qin Country were actually at a disadvantage.
The higher the position, the less likely they would be demoted.
The two of them had probably not seen an army that they had deployed for many years.
If they wanted to deploy troops, they would have to ask His Majesty for Tiger Tally before they could do so.
It was clearly a big shot.
But he could only be an "ordinary noble" in the capital.
If it was Xiao Yun, he would definitely be in a bad mood.
He would definitely have a heart disease because of this, and his health would not be good.
However, these two were clearly in good health!
"I am Pei Donglai! I heard that you have that kind of fine armor? Sell it to me!"
Pei Donglai went straight to the point too quickly, and the opening of the door was a little too large.
He almost dodged Xiao Yun's waist.
"That... General Yang, didn't you tell me in advance?"
Yang Shuo spread his hands and said innocently, "I did."
"Then why did General Pei do this?"
Yang Shuo curled his lips and said, "I said yes, but he has to listen to me! This guy is stubborn. If His Majesty doesn't listen to him, what can I do?"
He said these disheartened words, but his expression was full of ridicule. Clearly, he wanted to see Xiao Yun make a joke of himself.
Yes.
Actually, Yang Shuo could invite quite a number of people. He could invite some from every force in the military.
But he only invited Pei Donglai!
His idea was very simple.
An evil person naturally needed to be grinded by an evil person.
Xiao Yun was too bad, too unruly. If that was the case, wouldn't it be great if he found someone who was even more unruly than him and didn't even know what rules were?
Also, he was one of the people who was beaten up by trash Xue back then.
This guy must be holding back his anger. It might be of great use for him to explode at this moment.
