That's how it was settled.
Excluding making money, Hu Yanwei has no interest here. He has many social activities. The Huyan family members are very self-disciplined, but he is the most active one among his brothers and sisters. He also has to go out to socialize, so he takes his leave.
It was precisely because he often sneaked out that Yuan Gang had caught him earlier and took him hostage.
As soon as he left the hospital, he scratched the back of his head and turned back, "Brother An, there's something wrong."
Yuan Gang asked: "What's the matter?"
Hu Yanwei chuckled: "My father said this food tastes good, and my mother also likes to eat it. It makes no sense that other people have something delivered to their door every day, but I can't eat the food in my own store. From now on, I will send a small bucket of fresh food to my home every morning." I eat it for breakfast, so that I can have face at home, and my mother will definitely eat it and praise me every time."
Yuan Gang nodded: "Okay, no money, you can eat as much as you want, I'll give you face."
"Haha, ok, let's go, you guys are busy... I'm my boss after all, let's change some of my tattered clothes." Hu Yanwei smiled and patted his arm, then pointed to the torn clothes on his body, and then walked away swaggeringly, Just walk sideways.
As the youngest in the family, no matter how senior he is, no pressure or burden is on him, and he lives a more indulgent life...
In the water pavilion in the backyard of Baiyunjian, the flower boat docked, and Su Zhao and others got off the boat and stepped in.
Qin Mian returned to the pavilion and sat down at the piano table. Qin Mian served tea and said with a smile: "Master, you are right. Is the tofu okay?"
After a brief taste of the tea soup, Su Zhao put down the tea cup and said calmly: "It's okay."
Qin Mian: "If you like it, I'll ask someone to buy some every day."
Su Zhao: "No, it's just like that. It's boring to eat every day. Just go when you want to eat. It should taste better if you eat fresh." There seems to be a sense of distraction in his eyes.
At this time, a servant came over and handed over a secret letter. Qin Mian received it and waved the servant away. After carefully interpreting the contents of the secret letter, he reported: "My boss, Niu Youdao has arrived. Daya City, judging from the route, we should be heading towards the capital, and we should be able to reach the capital within ten days."
Su Zhao recovered from his distraction, frowned slightly and said: "This guy didn't rush all the way to Qi State. He wandered around for several months. What on earth did he want to do? If he were on the road under normal circumstances, how many times would he have spent? Is it enough to go back and forth? If he said that he was trying to lure me to take action before, it can be explained. He arrived in Qi State very slowly, and even slower than before. He stopped and stopped on the way, and he still had time to visit the mountains and rivers. What do you mean? When he comes slowly, even if he can take care of the war horse matter, by the time he sends the war horse back, it may already be next year. Isn't he in no hurry about the war horse matter?"
Not only was she unable to figure it out, she reported the situation to Shao Pingbo and asked Shao Pingbo to help analyze it. Shao Pingbo was also a little confused.
Qin Mian asked: "Is it possible that I have never been to the grassland and was attracted by the grassland scenery?"
Su Zhao rolled his eyes, "Do you think it's possible? You haven't seen enough for so long? This beast is extremely cunning. There must be a purpose for doing this. Who knows what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd?"
Qin Mian asked suspiciously: "Could it be that we are opening up the joints where the war horses return to defeat along the way?"
Su Zhao asked back: "Judging from what happened along the way, have you seen anyone he visited? Is there anyone who can open joints like this?"
Qin Mian: "Could it be that he didn't come for the war at all? He came out of the mountain only after Linghu Qiu met him. Is there another purpose for coming to the Qi Congress?"
Su Zhao also had this suspicion, but Shao Pingbo concluded that Niu Youdao was coming for the war horse and told her to stop it if she could.
Now Niu Youdao is traveling all the way and has nothing to do with the war horse, so what's stopping him
Shao Pingbo still had serious doubts, whether Linghu Qiu was sure to help Niu Youdao get the war horse, so Niu Youdao didn't panic, but in fact he was deliberately hiding the truth from others.
Therefore, Shao Pingbo asked her to keep an eye on Linghu Qiu.
On the road, he failed in a fight with Niu Youdao, losing a good player and earning an angry rebuke from his superiors!
Before the person arrived and they were still on the road, people were confused. Facing such people, Su Zhao gradually felt difficult to deal with, and even felt a little powerless.
According to her idea, it would be best to deal with Niu Youdao directly by force, but her superiors gave her strict orders.
Another problem is that the mysterious death of Zhuo Chao makes people confused about what kind of strength is hidden around Niu Youdao, and they really don't dare to act rashly again. Using Zhuo Chao was already an exception and broke the rules of the organization. If it weren't for the master's face, she might have gotten into big trouble. If she wanted to use someone stronger than Zhuo Chao, she wouldn't say it. It can be used as soon as it is used.
Unable to figure it out and having a headache, Su Zhao sighed, "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time and see what he wants first. Let's focus on our own affairs first. There won't be any problems with the war horses we raised, right? "
Qin Mian said: "You can rest assured. All the joints that should be opened over the years have been opened. Thirty thousand good horses in their prime have been selected, including a thousand mares, ready to go at any time."
Qi State has stricter control over mares. Even if a person rides out of the country, mares are not allowed. Even if the State of Qi allows external sales, only male horses will be sold. All well-bred mares must stay on the grasslands of the State of Qi. No one is allowed to leave the country, otherwise it will be a death penalty!
Su Zhao: "How is the boat prepared?"
Qin Mian: "The ships are a bit troublesome. Hundreds of large ships are too eye-catching. I don't dare to raise funds from Qi State, nor do I dare to concentrate them in any country. I can only gather them sporadically from various countries, and accumulate a little to make a big difference." It arouses suspicion. Now hundreds of large ships have arrived at the secretly arranged island and are being refitted."
Su Zhao quickly stood up and left, and Qin Mian followed.
The two of them came to Su Zhao's boudoir together. There was a map hung on the wall. Su Zhao stared at the map and asked, "Where is the island?"
Qin Mian pointed to a sea area in the southwest of Qi State, "It's probably at this location. There are no ships dedicated to transporting war horses. It is very dangerous for small ships to sail too far at sea. They can easily capsize when encountering wind and waves. We can only use large cargo ships. , a ship can transport a hundred war horses, and cargo ships must be modified to transport horses, otherwise they cannot be transported. All ships must be modified here first."
Su Zhao asked solemnly: "With a large number of sea ships gathering, is this island secret and safe?"
Qin Mian said: "Don't worry, my boss, it will take at least a day from this island to the coastline near Qi State, and the sea area where this island is located has many hidden reefs. Generally speaking, ships must avoid this sea area, and no ships will approach. How many times do ships come and go? Months ago, a group of craftsmen and supplies were secretly arranged to land on the island from other countries. There are people guarding the island, and no craftsmen will be allowed to leave until the matter is completed. They will not be let go until the things have been transported to Beizhou."
"A total of five hundred ships have been prepared, three hundred to transport the horses, and two hundred to accompany them to transport the supplies needed on the way. There are all boatmen on board, and the people who care for the horses will also get on the ship with the horses. Once loaded, they can go all the way. There is no need to dock for supplies when reaching the destination! If there is an unexpected situation, those supply ships can dock for supplies so that no one will notice the horse."
Su Zhao: "How long will it take to be ready?"
Qin Mian: "A thousand craftsmen have been prepared on the island, and the refitting speed is very fast. But the problem is that the ships cannot arrive at the island all at once. They have to arrive from various countries one after another. After arriving at the island, in order to keep it secret, they cannot arrive first. Let's go, those ships don't know the route behind them yet. We have to wait until all the ships have arrived and are under centralized control before we can make the final arrangements. It is estimated that it will take about three months, at least two months, before everything is ready."
Su Zhao: "Remember, after the war horses are on board, the ships must move separately and must not be so powerful that they attract attention."
Qin Mian: "I don't need to ask my boss to do this, I know. When loading, every two ships will dock once for loading. After loading, they will set off. Every two ships will meet a supply ship to form a formation, and three ships will form a small group. There is a lot of autonomy on the sea side, so there should be no problem. The key is to enter South Korea and go to Bukju. This journey is too dangerous."
Su Zhao: "As long as it is sent to South Korea, you don't have to worry about the rest. There are people there who are more careful and more careful than you. They will naturally arrange everything properly to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Qin Mian nodded: "That's good. We have been preparing here for several years, and all the details are in place. There should be no problems."
Daya City is dimly lit at night.
Niu Youdao, who was dressed in prairie clothes, wandered around Daya City, looking at the sights and seeing new things everywhere. Linghu Qiu accompanied him.
"Brother, you were eating and drinking all the way, and it was even more leisurely when you arrived in Qi State! You don't look like someone who is here to do something."
In a pottery-making workshop, after Niu Youdao carefully looked at the pottery maker's craftsmanship, he walked to a kiln that was burning with a blazing fire. Linghu Qiu came to the side and said something.
Niu Youdao sighed: "Don't worry, the person who intercepted and killed me on the way was definitely not an accident. I need to clear up the trouble before doing business. I have to create opportunities for the person who killed me, right?"
Create opportunities? Linghu Qiu looked around and asked in his ear: "Brother, tell me the truth, how did you kill Zhuo Chao?"
Niu Youdao: "You will naturally know in the future. If you want to know now, that's fine. Let Hongxiu and Hongfu stay with me for one night, and I will tell you."
Linghu Qiu rolled his eyes.
After wandering aimlessly around the city, the group returned to the inn.
When Niu Youdao returned to his house, he found Gongsun Bu already waiting in his house.
Niu Youdao put down his sword, and Black Mudan immediately went out to arrange people. For an ordinary inn like this, you have to be careful that the walls have ears.
When Black Peony came back and nodded, Gongsun Bucai said: "Master Tao, the news coming so far is still the same. No suspicious ships have been found on the seaside. The disciples gathered here in Qi State are still continuing to investigate."
Niu Youdao: "I didn't find it. Is there some cover-up?"
He is not in a hurry to get to the capital of Qi State now. He is just waiting for news and laying out suspicions. He does not have a certain grasp of the situation. When he arrives in the capital, it is difficult to decide which direction to start from. Sensing that there is a problem with Linghu Qiu's identity, he He no longer dares to fully count on Linghu Qiu, and is already ready to strike in his own way!
