Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 202

Inside the carriage, Ji Xinjun opened the door curtain and looked at the man sitting on the groom's seat. Looking from the side, his face was astonishingly pale. In the cold weather, there were beads of sweat on his forehead. She said:

"If you can't hold on, come in."

Chen Wei shook his head lightly, breathing a little hurriedly, "There is Sima Yi's eyeliner behind..."

Xiao Su looked from the rear window of the carriage, and saw several horses following the convoy from a distance.

"Since we're out of the city, let the horse run faster!" Xiao Su couldn't help saying, seeing that Chen Wei's back was already wet with sweat.

Chen Wei turned his head slightly, glanced at the stalking shadows, and said, "This will arouse Sima Yi's suspicion. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Sure enough, the scouts behind followed for a long time, and finally turned back.

Chen Wei, who had been struggling all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, let Zhao Jun take charge of the carriage, and returned to the carriage by himself. When he unbuttoned his shirt, the blood from the wound on his lower side had already stained his clothes red.

The wound was opened when Sima Yi fought at the city gate, but Chen Wei kept pretending to be fine in order to avoid Sima Yi's suspicion. He left Changshe City for more than ten kilometers before returning to the carriage.This tenacity and perseverance gradually changed Ji Xinjun's understanding of him a lot.

Seeing Chen Wei's dying appearance, Xiao Su started to cry.

Chen Wei grinned with chapped lips, his voice was soft, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't die. It's just that the second lady's business failed, and she made a trip for nothing. I really feel guilty."

Ji Xinjun looked at him quietly, not knowing how strong this fellow was, he could still laugh at this moment.But what Chen Wei said happened to hit her heart.The business with Cao Cao failed, how should she explain to the family?Although she is the head of the Liu Family Bingfang, the bigger the family, the more complicated and fierce the conflict of mixed interests. She has always been prudent and impeccable in her work before. Although the uncles and cousins ​​are jealous, they can't find any flaws. But now The next time I go back, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to blame.

Seeing Ji Xinjun's gloomy eyes, Chen Wei, who had re-bandaged the wound, leaned against Xiao Su's side, and said to Ji Xinjun, "We played a few games of chess when we came here, shouldn't we also play a few games when we go back?"

Ji Xinjun glanced at Chen Wei lightly, then shook his head.

"How big is the deal that you and Cao Cao couldn't make?" Chen Wei asked, licking his chapped lips.

Ji Xinjun looked up at Chen Wei and said, "Do you know what's the use of this?"

"No... just want to know if I can eat it."

"What do you mean?"

"Ahem, although I'm far from Cao Cao, I'm still a little prince. If you don't mind, we can cooperate." Chen Wei said with a smile.

"Really?" Ji Xinjun's slightly squinted eyes brightened up.

"Not false."

"Cao Cao ordered from me 30 horse armor, [-] boxes of bows, arrowheads, and crossbows; [-] knives, swords, daggers, spears, and axes, equivalent to [-] taels of silver! Your little Luoyang city lord , can you get that much money?" Ji Xinjun looked at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei took a deep breath, 30 taels is not a small sum.Although after he came to Luoyang, he implemented the government and city systems that were implemented in Yongning County in Luoyang City, and the economy of Luoyang City grew several times in just a few months, but the development time was too short after all. Wei spent so much money to buy weapons, it's not impossible to get it out, but the money is not easy to come by, and it will definitely hurt to spend it.Moreover, 30 taels was already stretched for the small treasury that Chen Wei had just established.

"The money is available, but even if I buy these weapons, I don't have so many soldiers to use them. But we can change the way of cooperation!"

"tell me the story."

"According to the list of materials and drawings I provided, build a thousand horse armors and a thousand sabers, and I will give you 4 taels..."

"Sounds tempting, but 4 taels..." Ji Xinjun scoffed.

The business of 30 yuan suddenly dropped to 4 taels. Chen Wei naturally knew what Ji Xinjun meant, and he was not in a hurry. He continued to laugh and said, "If the finished product you have created satisfies me, I can add more..."

"How much?" Jun Xin disapproved.

"Ten thousand horse armors, ten thousand sabers!" Chen Wei said.

Xiao Su, who was listening next to her, immediately said in surprise, "Miss, that's a business of 40 taels!"

Ji Xinjun opened her lowered eyes slightly, staring at Chen Wei: "40 taels?"

"That's right. But the prerequisite is that you must build it according to the design drawings I gave you, because I'm afraid that your craftsmanship is not up to standard and you won't be able to make the saber I want."

A gleam of light flashed in Ji Xinjun's eyes, and said lightly: "There is no weapon in the world that our Liujiabingfang can't make."

"Okay, with your words, it is worth 10 taels. In this case, I invite the second lady to my Luoyang as a guest..."

"Of course."

Chen Wei stretched out his hand with a smile: "Happy cooperation."

Ji Xinjun took a look, and also stretched out his hand: "A gentleman is quick to whip a whip."

Chen Wei finally grasped this pair of hands that were as slippery as fat, and his hands were like holding jade, enjoy, enjoy.

"Have you held enough?" Ji Xinjun narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It's okay, I'm happy, holding it for a long time can represent the sincerity of our cooperation."

Ji Xinjun was not angry, and really let this guy hold his hand, but this guy made an inch of it, and started to play with it, making a tsk-tsk sound in his mouth, struggling to shrink back in shame and anger.

"40 taels, it's paid back, it's paid back!" Chen Wei sniffed Ji Xinjun's hand that he had held just now, and smiled intoxicatedly.

"Rogue!" Ji Xinjun's calm face flushed.

In the evening, the winter sun hangs over the West Mountain, and the loess and sandy road is covered with mist.Near the river beach, a camp was set up and a fire was started.

Chen Wei did not get out of the carriage because of his injury, and Xiao Su brought food.After the meal, Xiao Su talked to Chen Wei.And Ji Xinjun walked to the river alone, seeing that there were only a dozen people left in the convoy of more than 100 people, she couldn't help feeling melancholy, looking at the winter day reflected by the river, dazed.

Suddenly Chen Wei's voice sounded from the carriage: "What, her business with Cao Cao is only 10 taels? Damn it, I was cheated, woo woo..."

Seeing Chen Wei beating his chest and stamping his feet in the carriage, Ji Xinjun, who was originally depressed, couldn't help but chuckle.

……

In the early morning two days later, the convoy arrived in Yiyang City.When Chen Wei came back, everyone was overjoyed.But when they heard the news that Cao Jun had sent an army to bypass Songshan Mountain and lurk in the southwest of Yiyang City, everyone was shocked.

At noon, the [-] cavalry who originally planned to withdraw to Luoyang suddenly changed their plan, and Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei divided their troops into three groups and headed southwest.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the [-] main force led by Guan Yu met the [-] infantry led by Wei Ji who was trying to go around the back of Yiyang City. Cao Bing surrounded Guan Yu's [-] cavalry heavily. , Zhang Fei fought all the way from the right, Wei Ji retreated, and the plot to attack Yiyang City was destroyed.

On the fifth day, tens of thousands of people in Yiyang City had already moved to Luoyang, and the city was empty.But just when the last batch of Chen Wei was about to leave Yiyang City, the retreating Wei Ji and the army led by Cao Cao joined forces and approached Yiyang City. The real battle was about to break out.
