Chapter 66 Follow the Caravan Capital

They avoided many towns along the way and had been wasting so much time. Now it was almost time to snow. If they detoured a long way, they would not be able to pass Xijing before it snowed, let alone take the water route. If the water route freezes and the mountains are closed, they will be unable to move forward.

Thinking of this, Wei Dazhi became more and more anxious, thinking that he would not be so unlucky!

Tang Ning looked at Du Chunyue, the only one in the team, who had a road guide, and thought, "Why do we think of a way to go into the city and take a look?"

Du Chunyue was about to speak, but Lu Dazhuang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said weakly: "In fact, there is another way. As long as you have money, you can follow the caravan. Everyone doesn't have to check the caravan when entering the city, unless you enter Xijing."

"How do you know?" Everyone stared at Lu Dazhuang with wide eyes.

Lu Dazhuang swallowed hard and sneered, "When I was in Huizhou Prefecture City, I saw many people entering the city like this, but I had no money, so I could only find a way to get in..."

Tang Ning gave him a thumbs up and said, "I'll go and ask if there is any caravan willing to take us."

"This money..." Tang Ning had already run away before Tang Junsheng finished speaking.

Luolin County is worthy of being the closest county to Xijing. There are many caravans coming and going, both big and small. Tang Ning is naturally looking for a large caravan. Behind the caravans are large families. These people from the government are the best at judging people and will definitely not make things difficult for them. They must have to make more blood.

However, I can't bear to leave my children and can't trap the wolf, and I can't afford to pay the money.

She stopped by the official road for half an hour before she took a chance on a large caravan. The caravan had about 70 or 80 people, with carriages in front, donkey carriages and mule carriages behind, and many porters. She couldn't see what they were carrying, but there were flags in front of the carriage, which seemed to be a symbol of a certain family. Pedestrians consciously avoided them wherever they passed.

Of course, there is also the final point. Several people behind the caravan obviously spent money to go to the city with them. Since someone set a precedent, she would probably succeed if she spent more money.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning ran directly to the carriage in front of the convoy, and was stopped when she got close. She was not afraid, and took out a tael of silver and said loudly: "Sir, we want to enter the city, can we take us with you?"

The coachman said a few words into the carriage, and immediately someone opened a crack. Seeing a tael of silver in Tang Ning's hand, he ordered the coachman to slow down and asked slowly: "How many people?"

"Two donkey carts and two chariots, adults and children, there are fifteen people in total." Tang Ning said with his fingers.

The other party frowned, "So much! Three taels of silver."

Tang Ning took a breath and thought that this person was really dark, but she did not refuse. Instead, she obediently took out a few taels of silver and handed it over, and gave it a few soft kiwis that had already been soft to keep it sweet.

Seeing that she was so awesome, the other party's tone obviously eased a lot.

Tang Ning also hurried over to greet his family. A group of people followed the caravan and approached the city gate nervously. The expected inspection did not appear, and the caravan drove straight in without any stop.

Tang Junsheng couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "My goodness, I don't even need to check what the identity of the owner of this caravan is!"

The porter who was walking in front of him turned around and smiled proudly when he heard this, "We are the caravan of the Third Prince, and the team leader in front is the big celebrity in front of the Third Prince."

When everyone heard the third prince, they were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.

After entering the city, Tang Ning and his men also planned to withdraw. At this time, a servant in front suddenly ran to Tang Ning and asked with a breath of breath: "Girl, do you still have the kind of fruit you just now? We can pay for it."

Tang Ning lowered his eyes, his lips curled up slightly, and he looked up again and noticed that it became more difficult. "However, there are, but these fruits are our food..."

The servant was a little anxious and asked quickly: "Silver and money are not a problem, I'll ask how many you have?"

Tang Ning innocently lifted the basket on his back and then moved a basket out of the cart he pushed. "There are only so many of them in the whole world. The ones I carry are cooked and sweeter. This basket is still hard. It has to be put on and wait until it is soft before it is sweet."

The servant's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Miss, we have all bought it."

"This..." Tang Ning was even more embarrassed, "I don't know, we are food..."

The servant ran back to report to the manager immediately, and came back soon, panting and said, "Girl, we manager said, how about buying it for you at the price of 30 cents per pound?"

Thirty cents per pound are almost the price of grain in Xijing.

Tang Ning exchanged glances with his family, and nodded reluctantly at the silent urging of everyone. They did not say that, but there were two baskets of soft jujube kiwi fruits in the caravan, and Tang Ning wiped off a fraction of them directly.

Seeing that she was so happy, the other party simply gave her one or two or three cents.

With just one change of hand, nearly half of the three taels of silver she spent came back. She was not in a hurry to the remaining half. As long as she stayed in the city, she would not have to worry about not having the chance to make money.

After parting ways with the caravan, Tang Ning gave Lu Dazhuang and Tang Zheng a task, asking them to inquire about the whereabouts of other refugees, and by the way, the situation in Jiangnan and how to get there as fast as possible. The others found a smaller inn to stay for a night.

Everything is expensive these days, but staying in a restaurant in Tajikistan has not increased much. They all directly asked for two low-end large shops. They could still live in a crowded place, and it was cheaper. It only costs two cents a night for one person.

The environment in the Datong Bed is really not very good. There are straw mats on both sides, and ten people can sleep on one side. This room can accommodate twenty people. The store only provides one mat, a pillow and a bedding for cold protection. There is nothing else. If you want to take a shower, you have to pay extra money. When you go to the bathhouse, you can pay two cents per person. If you want to eat, you have to pay extra money. The specific amount depends on how much the guests order.

After everyone understood, they all silently took out their dry food, not even a sip of hot water, for fear of asking for money.

After a few breaths of silence, Jiang was so sad that he said, "At least there are still tiles covering the top of his head, so he doesn't have to sleep in the open air, right? We didn't have tiles covering our house before!"

Li nodded, thought nothing, and fell asleep. "Take a quick time to rest. When A Zheng and Dazhuang find out the news, we are going to rush again."

Jiang nodded and lay down.

Du Chunyue said: "Aunt, I still want to sell herbs..."
