The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 799 Liaodong Contact Point

Li Daozong nodded and said: "This is reasonable. I have also thought about the problem of Anshi City. As for Beisha City, try to defeat it in one battle. Don't give Beisha City a chance to ask for help from Anshi City. Before attacking Beisha City, try to fight with Liu Hongji made arrangements together."

Xuan Shijing nodded and said no more.

Soon, Li Daozong's handwriting was sent out, and Liu Hongji's fleet came to Pingzhou City. It would take two days anyway. Xuan Shijing took off his armor and put on the clothes he brought The soft armor went to the city of Pingzhou.

Today's Pingzhou City is still calm as usual, and it seems that there is no atmosphere of the imminent war, but think about it, the battlefield in Liaodong will only advance to Goguryeo, and will not affect Pingzhou, and once the war is over , the people of Pingzhou City will have an additional way to get rich.

Xuan Shijing needs to find the location of the Hou Mansion Chamber of Commerce in Pingzhou to collect the supplies sent here. The carriage of the Chamber of Commerce must be faster than the army's marching speed, especially Xuan Shijing delivered the things more than ten days in advance Going to Liaodong, no matter what, things should have arrived by now.

Walking on the streets of Pingzhou City, even just wandering around like this is a kind of relaxation for Xuan Shijing who has been on the march for the past few days. Xuan Shijing took out the pile of money before leaving and handed it to Xuan Shijing The letter said that as long as Xuan Shijing arrives in Pingzhou City, finds the Four Seas Inn, and shows Dongshanhou's seal, the shopkeeper of the inn will take him to the contact point of the chamber of commerce. Only the contact point will know the batch of supplies Where was it stored.

Because there is a lot of gunpowder in the supplies, they cannot be stored in ordinary places.

The Four Seas Inn is not a small inn in Pingzhou City, so if you ask anyone casually, you will know where to look for it. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xuan Shijing stood at the gate of the Four Seas Inn.

The waiter in the inn was very enthusiastic. When he saw Xuan Shijing standing outside and looking in, he immediately greeted him.

"Guest officer, are you a top player or staying in a hotel?" The second brother stood in front of Xuan Shijing, bowed his body and asked with a smile on his face.

"I want to see your shopkeeper, so I just say someone from Chang'an is here." Xuan Shijing laughed.

When the second brother heard Xuan Shijing said that he was from Chang'an, he didn't dare to delay, and ran in immediately, and Xuan Shijing followed the second brother into the Four Seas Inn.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out to greet him, walked up to Xuan Shijing with his hands arched, looked at Xuan Shijing, and found that Xuan Shijing was not very old, as if he was the same age as the legendary Patriarch, so he immediately understood.

"I don't know that the nobleman is coming, but I'm not far away to welcome you, but I hope that the nobleman will be kind." In the hall, the shopkeeper didn't dare to reveal Xuan Shijing's identity blatantly. This time, his own master came to Liaodong with troops.

"Let's find a place to talk." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, gentlemen please." The shopkeeper invited Xuan Shijing up to the second floor, and then ordered Xiao Er to prepare tea, cakes and food quickly.

After entering the room, Xuan Shijing found a place to sit down, while the shopkeeper stood in front of Xuan Shijing, saluting respectfully.

"My subordinate, Jiang Yuan, sees Lord Hou!" The shopkeeper cupped his hands and saluted Xuan Shijing.

"Wai Li, I came here this time to let you take me to the contact point of the Houfu Chamber of Commerce in Pingzhou City. I asked the Chamber of Commerce to deliver a batch of things to Liaodong. Now I want to go and have a look. This is a letter from Qiandui. There is also Benhou's seal, please check it." Xuan Shijing took out the letter and his own seal from his arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's Gong stepped forward, took the letter and seal with both hands, checked it carefully, and returned it to Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou, shall we go now, or should you finish your meal here first?" asked the shopkeeper.

Xuan Shijing put away the seal, and said to the shopkeeper: "Now, after the inspection is completed, I will bring people over to receive some in the evening, and the rest will still be stored in Pingzhou, and the people from the chamber of commerce will wait for my news. "

"Yes, Lord Hou, then please come down with your subordinates." The shopkeeper said.

When Xuan Shijing came out of the army this time, he asked Li Daozong for leave for only two hours. The rules in the army are strict, even Xuan Shijing is no exception.

Following the shopkeeper, he left the inn from the back door of the Four Seas Inn, and then turned into an alley, making several turns, and then entered an inconspicuous house.

"Master Hou, this is the contact point of our chamber of commerce in Pingzhou City. Our chamber of commerce also has a facade in Pingzhou City. Generally, the unloading of caravans outside is carried out in the facade shop, and this is the contact and residence of the shopkeepers. place." The shopkeeper explained to Xuan Shijing.

This place is low-key, according to the treatment of the shopkeeper of the Hou Mansion Chamber of Commerce, even in Chang'an, you can have a good house, but now, neither the shopkeepers in Pingzhou City nor Chang'an have the intention of buying some high-profile houses. How to keep a low profile on weekdays.

It's no wonder that Qiandui and these shopkeepers can make the chamber of commerce in the Hou Mansion so big, and the business is doing so well, and after so many years, I haven't heard of any shopkeepers having any accidents.

Pushing open the gate of the courtyard, the shopkeeper invited Xuan Shijing into the courtyard.

The people in the yard didn't react when they saw the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Inn bringing a young man in. Since Jiang Yuandao brought it in person, there is no problem.

"A Fang, call out your captain, Master Hou is here." Jiang Yuandao said to the young people in the yard.

As soon as the young man heard that Lord Hou had arrived, he hurriedly bowed to Xuan Shijing, and then entered the backyard.

"Master Hou, let's go to the hall first." Jiang Yuandao said.

"En." Xuan Shijing nodded.

Xuan Shijing walked into the hall with his front foot, and the captain Jiang Yuandao said also walked into the hall with his back foot.

"Chen Ce, the guard of the Liaodong Caravan, see Lord Hou."

"There is no need to be so polite, Captain Chen, where are the things that were transported from Chang'an to Liaodong two months ago?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Back to Lord Hou, those things brought over from Chang'an, shopkeeper Qian Da said that those things were special, and he asked the little one to find a place to store them alone, so those things were stored outside the city by the little one, but don't worry, Lord Hou, now The warehouse outside the city is guarded by more than a dozen guards from our chamber of commerce, waiting for Lord Hou," Chen Ce said.

Xuan Shijing nodded and said: "That's right, since there are people on hand, then I don't have to take people out alone, Captain Chen, please take Benhou there now, let the guards take the carriage, for the time being Send a batch of supplies to my camp first."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Chen Ce responded.
