Chapter 274 Slowly

That's how things settled down.

Excluding making money, Hu Yanwei has no interest in this place. He has a lot of social activities. The members of Huyan's family are very self-disciplined, but he is the most active one among his brothers and sisters.

It was precisely because he often slipped outside that Yuan Gang had seized the opportunity to hold him hostage earlier.

But as soon as he left the hospital, he scratched the back of his head, turned around and came back, "Brother An, I have something to do."

Yuan Gang asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Yanwei hehe said: "My father said that this food tastes good, and my mother likes to eat it. It doesn't make sense that other people's homes deliver things to the 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 family every morning for breakfast, so that I will also have face at home. My mother will definitely eat it once and praise me once."

Yuan Gang nodded: "Okay, no money, eat as much as you want, and give you face."

"Hehe, that's fine, let's go, you guys are busy... Anyway, it's my boss, change the old clothes." Hu Yanwei patted his arm with a smile, pointed to the torn clothes on his body, and then walked away swaggeringly, almost walking sideways.

The youngest in the family, no pressure and burden can be placed on his head in terms of seniority, and he lives a more indulgent life...

The water pavilion in the backyard of Baiyunjian, the flower boat docked, Su Zhao and others got off the boat and entered.

Returning to the pavilion and sitting next to the piano platform again, Qin Mian brought tea and said with a smile, "Master, you're right, is the tofu okay?"

After tasting the tea soup and putting down the cup, Su Zhao calmly said, "It's okay."

Qin Mian: "If you like it, I'll ask someone to buy some every day."

Su Zhao: "No need, it's the same when you eat it. It's boring to eat it every day. If you want to eat it, you can eat it again. It should taste better if you eat it fresh." There seemed to be a sense of distraction in his eyes.

At this time, a servant came and presented a secret letter. Qin Mian received it and waved his hand to screen the servants. After carefully translating the contents of the secret letter, he reported, "Master, Niu Youdao has already arrived in Daya City. The route should be towards the capital. You should be able to arrive in the capital within ten days."

Su Zhao recovered from his distraction, frowned slightly and said, "This guy came to Qi country in a leisurely way. He walked slowly on the road for several months. What did he want to do? Normally, if he was on his way, a few round trips would be enough, right? If he was trying to lure me into action, it would make sense. He arrived in Qi country at a slower pace, and even slower than before. , wait until the horse is sent back, I am afraid that it will be next year, so is he not in a hurry about the horse?"

Not only could she not figure it out, but she reported the situation to Shao Pingbo and asked Shao Pingbo to help analyze it, and Shao Pingbo was also a little confused.

Qin Mian asked: "Could it be that you have never been to the grassland and you are attracted by the scenery of the grassland?"

Su Zhao rolled his eyes, "Do you think it's possible? Haven't seen enough for so long? This dog is extremely cunning, there must be a purpose for doing this, who knows what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?"

Qin Mian asked suspiciously, "Could it be that they are breaking through the joints of the war horse's return?"

Su Zhao asked back: "Judging from the way he came all the way, have you seen anyone he visited? Is there such a way to open up the joints?"

Qin Mian: "Could it be that he didn't come here to fight horses at all, and he came out of the mountain after Linghu Qiu met him. Did he come to the Qi Congress for another purpose?"

Su Zhao also had this suspicion, but Shao Pingbo concluded that Niu Youdao came charging towards the horse, and asked her to stop it if she could.

Now Niu Youdao is traveling around the mountains and rivers all the way, and has nothing to do with the matter of war horses, what is stopping him?

Shao Pingbo still had serious doubts, whether it was because Linghu Qiu was sure that he could help Niu Youdao get the war horse, so Niu Youdao didn't rush, but in fact he deliberately deceived others.

So Shao Pingbo asked her to keep an eye on Linghu Qiu.

On the way, he failed in a fight with Niu Youdao, which cost a good player and provoked reprimands from above!

The person is still on the road before he arrives, so people don't understand. Su Zhao gradually feels difficult and even powerless when facing this kind of person.

According to her idea, it is best to kill Niu Youdao directly by force, but the higher authorities issued strict orders to her.

Another problem is that the strangeness of Zhuo Chao's death made people confused about what kind of strength Niu Youdao was hiding around him, and he really didn't dare to act rashly again. The use of Zhuo Chao is considered an exception, and the rules of the organization have been broken. If it is not for the master's face control, I am afraid that I have already got into big trouble. If I want to use someone stronger than Zhuo Chao, she will not use it just by saying it.

Unable to figure it out and having a headache, Su Zhao sighed, "Forget it, let's take a step and see what he thinks first. Let's focus on our own affairs first. The war horses we raised will not be a problem, right?"

Qin Mian said: "You can rest assured. All the joints that should be opened up over the years have been opened up. Thirty thousand good horses in their prime have been selected, and one thousand mares are ready to go at any time."

The state of Qi has stricter control over mares, even if it is a personal ride out of the country, no mares are allowed. Even if the state of Qi allows the sale, only male horses are sold, and all the fine-bred mares must be kept on the grasslands of the state of Qi, and no one is allowed to leave the country, otherwise it will be a death penalty!

Su Zhao: "How is the boat ready?"

Qin Mian: "The ship is a bit troublesome. Hundreds of big ships are too eye-catching. I dare not raise funds from Qi, nor dare to collect funds from any country. I can only gather sporadically from various countries, so as not to arouse suspicion. Now hundreds of large ships have arrived at the secretly arranged islands and are currently being refitted."

Su Zhao quickly got up and left, and Qin Mian followed.

The two came to Su Zhao's boudoir together. There was a map hanging on the wall of the inner room. 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 here. There is no special ship for transporting war horses. Small boats are dangerous at sea if they sail too far, and they are easy to capsize when encountering wind and waves. We can only use large cargo ships. One ship can transport a hundred war horses, and the cargo ships need to be remodeled to transport horses, otherwise there is no way to transport them. All ships must first go here for remodeling."

Su Zhao asked solemnly, "A large number of ships are gathered. Is this island secret and safe?"

Qin Mian said: "Don't worry, my master, it will take at least one day for this island to reach the coastline near Qi State, and there are many hidden reefs in the sea area where this island is located. Generally, ships traveling to and from this area should avoid this sea area, and no ships will come and go. A group of craftsmen and supplies from other countries have been secretly arranged to land on the island a few months ago. There are guards on the island. No craftsmen will be allowed to leave until the matter is completed. They will not be let go until the things arrive in Beizhou."

"A total of 500 ships have been prepared, 300 of which are used to transport horses, and 200 of which will accompany the supplies needed on the way. The boatmen are all on board, and the people who take care of the horses will also be on board with the horses. Once the ships are loaded, they can be delivered all the way to the destination without docking for supplies! In case of accidents, those supply ships can also be docked for supplies, so that no one will find the horses."

Su Zhao: "How long will it take to get ready?"

Qin Mian: "There are a thousand craftsmen prepared on the island, and the refitting speed is very fast. But the problem is that the ships can't arrive at the island in a concentrated manner, they have to arrive one after another from various countries, and after arriving on the island, for the sake of confidentiality, they can't come first and go first. At present, those ships don't know the route behind them. The final arrangements can only be made after all the ships arrive and are under centralized control. It is estimated that it will take about three months, at least two months before they are all ready."

Su Zhao: "Remember, after the horses are on board, the ships must sail separately, and they must not be mighty and eye-catching."

Qin Mian: "I don't need to order this from the owner, I know. When loading the ship, every two ships dock once for loading, and then set off after loading. Every two ships meet with a supply ship to form a formation, and three ships form a small team. The sea side has a lot of autonomy, so there should be no problem. The key is to enter South Korea to Beizhou. This journey is too dangerous."

Su Zhao: "As long as it is delivered to South Korea, you don't have to worry about the rest. There are people who are more careful than you, and the other party will naturally arrange it properly and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Qin Mian nodded: "That's good. We've been preparing here for several years, and all the details are in place. There shouldn't be any problems."

Daya City under the night was dimly lit.

Niu Youdao, dressed in a prairie costume, wandered around in Daya City, looking at the scenery and seeing something new, and Linghu Qiu accompanied him.

"Brother, you eat, drink and drink all the way, and it's even more leisurely when you arrive in Qi State! You don't look like someone who came to do business."

In a pottery-making workshop, after Niu Youdao carefully looked at the pottery's handicrafts, he wandered to a kiln that was burning brightly, and Linghu Qiu came to the side and said.

Niu Youdao sighed: "Don't worry, the person who intercepted me on the way must not be accidental, and clear up the troubles before doing business, I have to create opportunities for the person who killed me."

Create opportunities? Linghu Qiu looked around, put his mouth in his ear and asked, "Brother, tell me the truth, how did you kill Zhuo Chao?"

Niu Youdao: "You will know in the future, if you want to know now, you can let Hongxiu and Hongfu accompany me for a night, and I will tell you."

Linghu Qiu rolled his eyes.

After wandering around the city aimlessly, the group returned to the inn.

When Niu Youdao went back to his house, he found that Gongsun Bu was already waiting in his house.

Niu Youdao put down the sword in his hand, and Hei Mudan immediately went out to arrange people. This kind of ordinary inn had to guard against the walls.

After Hei Mudan came back and nodded, Gongsun Bucai said, "Master Dao, the current news is still the same. No suspicious boats have been found on the seashore. The disciples gathered on the side of Qi State are still investigating."

Niu Youdao: "I didn't find it, could it be some kind of cover-up?"

He is not in a hurry to go to the capital of Qi, he is just waiting for the news, he is setting up doubts in the past, and he does not know a certain situation, and it is difficult to decide which direction to attack when he arrives in the capital. He realizes that there is a problem with Linghuqiu's identity.
