Chapter 702: The Journey to Great Yue (4)

The inspection was particularly strict, and the defense here was very heavy. It could be said that this was the place with the strictest deployment of soldiers in the entire border.

Xu Bai didn’t bring anything this time. He only brought a human skin and a book, which he got from the ruins.

When he was being checked, he found an excuse to hide these two things.

He did not bring any goods with him, but he brought a lot of money.

Xu Bai said that he went out to pick goods, not to sell them, so it made sense.

Soon, he passed the inspection.

It had to be said that there was something that played an important role during the inspection. Before he left, King Sheng You gave it to him.

A pill.

This pill could hide his strength for about ten days. Even a brilliant expert would not be able to discover it.

However, after ten days, the effects of the medicine would wear off, but it did not matter to Xu Bai.

At that time, he could find a random place and change his identity. It would be easy for him.

It was also easy to turn himself into a professional.

Soon, he passed the inspection and followed hundreds of people towards the Great Yue State.

All of them were traveling merchants who had gone to the Great Yue State to do business.

People naturally liked to stick together when crossing mountains. Xu Bai didn’t want to show his abnormality, so he followed behind.

They didn’t go through the Yin Posthouse, but the official Posthouse. After all, these people weren’t in the business, they were just merchants.

There was a large crowd. Some merchants were carrying goods or carriages, while others were walking on foot. Some were riding horses, so the crowd was naturally divided into several parts due to speed.

Xu Bai was riding a horse, so he naturally walked together with those who had horses and carriages.

Some of the carriages were protected by some of the members of the trade. In this world, money was very important. Even the members of the trade were not exempt from this.

Xu Bai followed silently on his horse. After all, the official post station was much more spacious than the Yin post station, which was in a desolate place.

Some merchants were familiar with each other because they often did business in this line. They chatted in twos and threes.

Xu Bai didn’t say anything. His face was very dark. Of course, as a businessman, it was normal for some unfamiliar faces to appear.

He didn’t speak, but it didn’t mean that no one talked to him. It was the nature of merchants to pursue profits. At this time, most of the people who went to the Great Yue State were sellers, and there were very few purchases.

Less meant that it was special, not to mention purchasing. If there was no profit, why would they buy?

Therefore, some sharp-eyed merchants targeted these people who went to purchase. They found an opportunity to chat with them and wanted to hear about some business opportunities.

“Brother, I’ve been on this road for so long, but I’ve never seen you before. It seems like this is your first time doing this business.”A middle-aged merchant dressed in silk followed Xu Bai on a horse.

Although this middle-aged businessman looked like he had a big belly, he was actually a skilled horseman.

There were risks in doing anything, and the risks of doing business were even greater. The simplest of all were those bandits who robbed the road.

Sometimes, in order to save their lives, riding horses was a must.

Xu Bai didn’t want to pay attention to them, but because of his current status, he still agreed from time to time. However, when it came to business opportunities, he kept his mouth shut.

There was no business opportunity. These people were very accurate. If he randomly made one up, there would probably be loopholes. He might as well not mention it.

It would be best if he didn’t mention it now. After all, no one wanted to let their profits slip away.

The middle-aged merchant’s name was Qian Lai, a very common name.

Seeing that Xu Fan did not say anything, his interest was piqued and he continued to talk non-stop.

He even promised that if Xu Bai could say it out loud, they would cooperate in this business and the profits would definitely be higher than now.

Trust no one but the merchant’s mouth. That mouth could even talk the moon down from the sky. Xu Bai only promised, but there was no substantial progress.

Qian Lai was also puzzled. The young man in front of him did not look very old, but he was extremely slippery.

No matter how much he tried to find out, he couldn’t find any information. However, the more he tried to find out, the more interested he became.

It was a businessman’s nature to pursue profits. Of course, he wouldn’t let it go.

Qian Lai was still talking non-stop. Xu Bai took it as a joke and listened while driving the horse.

It wasn’t fast, but it wasn’t slow.

It was night when they left, and after walking for a long distance, it was already late at night.

The convoy in front gradually stopped, and Xu Bai followed suit.

There was no more noise in his ears. Qian Lai had been talking for a long time, but seeing that Xu Bai was still silent, he stopped talking.

When Xu Bai saw that the carriages had stopped, he was puzzled. Then, he saw a woman alighting from the most luxurious carriage.

The woman was wearing a green dress. Her hair was tied up high with a green hairpin, making her look graceful and beautiful.

Xu Bai knew this woman. He had heard many people talking about her on the way here.

Zhong Ruqin, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.

The Zhong family was a merchant who specialized in traveling around the border, but it was a wealthy family.

Even compared to some of the well-known families in Jingzhou Province, this amount of money was not small.
