Chapter 177 Opponent

Two days later, the ship docked at the dock in the northern city of Qingzhou. The group got off the boat and got on the carriage that the Xie family had already prepared.

A convoy with more than a dozen carriages and dozens of escorts meanders along the official road heading north.

Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan sat in one of the Zhu Lun Huagao carriages. Behind them were Manager Xu, Manager Ma, and Fan Tian's carriage with a blue silk and black roof. The maid sat in the last trolley. Then came the three open-top carriages that carried the luggage of several people. At the Xie family's side, Xie Wanjun's car, Xie Wenjun's car, and three trucks. Nicholas Tse and his entourage guards were all on horses.

Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan huddled together in a car window and looked at the scenery outside.

Outside the window is an endless 'corn' rice field. Now is the harvest season, the branches and leaves are yellow and the fruit is full. Zhuang Xinyan had never seen a 'corn' crop, so he was very curious.

"My eldest young master, that's 'corn' rice, don't you like it very much?" Qin Tian looked back at him and smiled, gentle and playful, bright and clean. The warm autumn sun shines on her face through the car window, making her face white and red, delicate and pink, as beautiful and bright as a peach 'flower'.

Zhuang Xinyan, who was sitting next to her, was heartbroken, couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her on the face, and hugged her tighter. Qin Tian's heart was as sweet as honey, he turned around and snuggled into his arms, wrapped around his waist, and listened to his heartbeat. He 'touched' her face, lifted her chin, and made her face him.

Qin Tian raised his hand and stroked his beautiful jade-like face, his slender black eyebrows, his high nose bridge, deep eyes, and pale pink lips. He just looked at her. , the glazed eyes shone brightly, showing a strong affection.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the affectionate sweetness rippled across his face like ripples. He lowered his head and covered her lips.

Qin Tian was completely drunk.

It turns out that this is the feeling of being in love, just like birds can't live without the sky, fish can't live without water, and they are so dependent on each other. Since she was a child, she has longed to have her own home and to have such a heart-to-heart person. This wish was not fulfilled in that metropolis, but it was fulfilled in this other world.

Is this a dream? If it was a dream, she would never wake up.

At this time, Nicholas Tse's voice came from outside the car: "Master Zhuang, Master Zhuang?"

Hearing Nicholas Tse's voice, Qin Tian hurriedly pushed Zhuang Xinyan away, pointed to the outside of the car, and silently said the words "Xie Tingjun". Then, she sorted out her hair bun and clothes, then lifted the curtain of the car and stuck her head out, and said to Nicholas Tse who was sitting on the big black horse outside, "Mr. Xie, what's the matter?"

Nicholas Tse grabbed the reins of the horse and bent his head slightly. Seeing her face was red, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were still a little swollen, and she immediately understood what was going on. He looked at her, his hand holding the reins suddenly clenched, and after a while, he suppressed the jealousy in his heart.

His expression was as usual, and he said with a smile, "Where is Young Master Zhuang?"

Next to him, Zhuang Xinyan was displeased when he saw that Nicholas Tse and his wife were so close, and quickly changed positions with Qin Tian. He wrote on the paper, "What's the matter with Mr. Xie?"

Looking at Zhuang Xinyan's handsome face, Nicholas Tse was full of disdain in his heart, with a little white face, he used his face to seduce the 'female' person!

But when he thought that both Qin Tian and his younger sister were so committed to him, they felt extremely depressed and resentful in their hearts.

But he didn't show any signs on his face: "I wonder if Mr. Zhuang can ride a horse? Going to the vast grasslands in Mobei, if you are still sitting on a carriage, it will be a terrible sight!" Standing tall, he deliberately showed his superb horsemanship in front of Zhuang Xinyan.

On the boat, he had a way to keep them from being in the same room, and on land, he couldn't let them kiss each other in the same car.

There is a kind of competition among men, not to mention in front of Nicholas Tse, a man who has some kind of thoughts on his wife. No matter what, Zhuang Xinyan didn't want to lose to him in front of Qin Tian. The reason why he practiced martial arts so hard has a lot to do with the incident when Nicholas Tse rescued Qin Tian before. He wants to protect his 'woman'!

"It's natural to gallop freely on the prairie, Mr. Xie can rest assured that although his horse skills are not as good as Mr. Xie's, he can still handle it." Zhuang Xinyan wrote.

"Oh?" Nicholas Tse seemed very interested, "It turns out that Mr. Zhuang can still ride horses. If that's the case, why don't you come down with us men?"

"Thank you so much for your kindness, but my wife is still a little unwell, and I want to take care of one or two by her side. It is also a man's responsibility to take care of his wife!" Zhuang Xinyan looked at him and smiled.

Nicholas Tse clenched the reins of the horse, gritted his teeth and said, "Head Qin is really lucky."

Hearing this sentence, Qin Tian immediately stuck his head out, looked at him and smiled, "Young Master Xie has really spoken my heart!" The small dimple rippling happily.

Seeing that Nicholas Tse was annoyed for a while, he reluctantly laughed twice, clamped his "legs" on the horse's belly, turned around and left.

After he left, Qin Tian leaned in front of Zhuang Xinyan with bright eyes: "So you can still ride a horse. When you get to the prairie, can you take me on a ride? I can't ride a horse anymore!"

Zhuang Xinyan rolled his eyes, blinked again, and nodded calmly. A trivial look.

But a drum was playing in heart: It seems that have to learn to ride a horse with Haifu quietly while haven't arrived in Mobei for the past few days...

Qin Tian plunged his head into his arms and rubbed happily, like a coquettish kitten. Zhuang Xinyan was sweet in his heart and hugged her tightly. He kissed her face fiercely a few more times, wishing to 'knead' her into his body.

Here, Nicholas Tse rushed to Lin Yong's beside, lowered his voice and commanded: "Hurry up and drive to the town in front. There is only one inn in Yonghe Town in front of you, you only have four rooms left, and the rest are reserved for me. Come down!"

With so many people, the four rooms are bound to be crowded together, so Zhuang Xinyan and Qin Tian would not be embarrassed to occupy one of them. Nicholas Tse thought bitterly, when he remembered the scene where the two were so passionate that night, he couldn't help but come to the fire, and no matter what, he didn't want to see them alone again.

Lin Yong has followed Nicholas Tse for so long, how can he not understand the master's mind. Looking at the sombre face of the master, at this time, the face had lost its usual calmness, and he whispered: "Master, it has been more than half a year since they got married..."

Isn't it too late to come now? What is necessary? Master, can't even see this point?

"You just do as I say, what are you talking about!" Nicholas Tse said sharply.

Seeing that the master's face was not good, Lin Yong didn't dare to say anything again, and he 'pumped' the horse's butt a few times before rushing forward.

Seeing Lin Yong's disappearing figure, Nicholas Tse snorted a few times.

How could he not know this? It's just that it's not in front of his eyes, so how can he let them be like glue in front of him?

I can't help but recall the same dream that I've had these two days,

In the dream, Qin Tian was clinging to his neck with both hands, and her delicate body was tightly pressed against him. She raised her head, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were lightly closed, and her blue silk was flowing down. She called out loudly. his name

"Ting Jun... Ting Jun..."

His lower abdomen suddenly tightened. He looked back at Zhuang Xinyan and the others' carriage, and threw the whip fiercely, spreading all the grievances in his heart on the whip.

I ate some casually at noon, and when it was sunset and the sky was getting dark, the convoy arrived at Yonghe Town.

Stop in front of the big 'door' of Yuelai Inn, the only inn in Yonghe Town. Nicholas Tse saw that there were quite a few carriages parked in front of the inn's 'door'. While he was in doubt, Lin Yong, who had already arrived, greeted him and whispered in his ear: "That's the carriage and horse of Changxingxing. You don't need to make reservations, sir. The inn is already full, but fortunately, the little one came so well, he just grabbed four upper rooms!"

"Changxing trip?" Xie Tingjun's eyes flashed, he turned around and walked to Xie Wenjun who got off the carriage, and told him the situation.

"It's just that the enemy's road is narrow!" Xie Wenjun smiled.

Over there, Qin Tianzhuang Xinyan and Xie Wanjun, shopkeeper Xu, got off the carriage in turn. Seeing the solemn expressions of Nicholas Tse's uncle and nephew, Zhuang Xinyan and Qin Tian came to them and asked.

Nicholas Tse said to them, "There are people from Changxingxing!"

While on the boat, Qin Tian will learn about Mobei's business situation from Xie Wenjun after he feels better.

Xie Wenjun told her that the land of Mobei is a vast and boundless highland grassland, called Jiang, and it is a nomadic people with sturdy folk customs. As early as twenty years ago, the three major tribes of Jiang surrendered to the imperial court. In the past two decades, many people have come to Jiang to do business. So far it has developed to a certain scale.

There are only two ways to do business with the Jiang people. One is the merchant. Every 'spring' season, the merchants will load the goods needed by the Jiang people on ox carts or hunchbacks, and put them on the account near the palace or temple to attract local Jiang people to buy the goods. , and transport the livestock and livestock products obtained from the 'trade' to the border or inland for sale. One is sitting business, that is, some businessmen began to open fixed business outlets in Jiangdi with the increase of trade volume.

Among them, the three largest and most influential firms are Xie Shengkui from the Xie family, Yuan Yide from the Wang family, and Changxingxing from the Sima family as they just said!

It is worth mentioning that although the business in Mobei has already formed a scale, in terms of tea, it has been monopolized by officials and businessmen because of the previous regulations on tea and horses. Now that the tea-horse system has been abolished, all major firms have turned their attention to the tea business in an attempt to occupy the largest market. As the largest tea merchant in the north, the Sima family is their biggest opponent this time.

Although the Xie family is divided into different houses, Xie Tingjun's house holds 40% of the shares in Xie Shengkui. This time Xie Tingjun joined Shengshi, and he also wanted to inherit the name of Shengshi and win the battle of Mobei tea merchants! They did not publicize the fact that they had formed an alliance with Shengshi. They just wanted to go deep into Mobei silently, get a good relationship with the upper powers of Jiangren as soon as possible, and attack the opponent by surprise!

But didn't expect that would meet an opponent here. If you let them know that Xie Shengkui has formed an alliance with Shengshi, the largest tea merchant in the south, wouldn't it make them take precautions? As far as the strength of the other party is not weaker than them, this trip to Mobei may not be as smooth as imagined!
