There was a 36-man light cavalry squadron in the caravan.

The light cavalry squadron where Zhu Cheng was located was picked out by Zhang Wei and was organized together with the other two squadrons to form the escort brigade of this caravan.

He was very happy and excited because he had another task!

When Zhang Wei picked out the squadron, even his captain envied him a little.

The medal I issued a few days ago was now in his arms. I reached out and touched it. I felt that the small piece was not feeling at ease.

This mission is not a battle, but an escort caravan. Even so, Zhu Cheng is still looking forward to it, hoping to win another merit after completing the mission!

Along the way, it was many times easier than when he was in the south. There was no Southern Barbarian who needed him to clean up, no tribe who needed him to search, and no rushing from time to time.

There were only regular patrols and routine investigations every day, which made him feel like he was on an outing.

Along the way, he saw the deep mountains, old forests, rivers and streams. He also saw the birds and beasts, the birds singing and the flowers.

This is completely different from the wastelands in the south. There are no beasts, only a group of large birds that like to eat carrion that have been following their army!

This large bird was named "Corrot Eater" by them. It has black feathers, only reddish-brown fluff above its head and neck, and a pointed beak that looks like an eagle's beak, which is very ugly.

It seemed like I imagined that all kinds of colorful birds flew over from time to time, giving him the feeling that this south and north were completely two worlds!

Passing by a newly built town, watching the people sweating profusely to build houses. Although it is hard, looking at the smiles that the people occasionally let him know that his fighting is meaningful!

I passed by the northern pass that I often heard - Tianqian Pass!

The terrain here is indeed very dangerous, with a dangerous terrain that can only be opened by one man and ten thousand men.

But what disappointed him was that without the Xiongwei Pass he expected to see, this place was just a construction site, and it was still a distance from the completion of the construction!

After passing the natural barrier, the relaxed atmosphere of the caravan suddenly changed. The previous leisure is gone now, and only constant vigilance is always there.

"Order, the Light Cavalry Squadron will send additional scouts!" Captain Zhou's order was also issued in time, and he heard him say, "Please be alert for others!"

Zhu Cheng shouted at Zhou Wu with his fists and ordered: "Sir, obey the order!"

After he replied, he sent a small team of light cavalry to go forward to inquire!

Other soldiers also began to look around and pay attention, especially those places where they were easy to hide.

After Zhou Wu gave the order, Changsun Sheng rode his horse to him and said softly: "Captain Zhou, this place is still one or two days away from the nearest city!"

Changsun Sheng mentioned the other party that there are often soldiers from infantry brigade patrolling near Tianqian Pass, and there is no danger and it is too early to need alertness.

Zhou Wu frowned and said, "Mr. Changsun, I know, but just in case, I don't want to make any mistakes again!"

When Changsun Sheng heard that Zhou Wu had a clear idea, he stopped talking. Moreover, Zhou Wu was right. Being cautious is better than being careless!

And looking at Zhou Wu, he must have done enough preparations. It seems that he can save a lot of worries along the way!

The caravan took another day and a half to come to this small town.

On the way, I passed by a small village site. Changsun Sheng remembered that this place was collapsed by an earthquake.

He also remembered the mighty appearance of Lord Kevin, who allowed the civilians under his rule to return to their original place to rebuild their homes.

Now it seems that these civilians have not returned to rebuild their homes at all, at least the people from this small mountain village have not come back!

Outside the city gate, the caravan was stopped again. Changsun Sheng stepped forward and shouted: "We are a caravan from the Xia Kingdom in the south. We have signed a trade treaty with your lord. Please open the city gate!"

The guard soldier stood on the city wall and replied to the caravan below: "I know you, but so many of you are all caravans? I saw you all carry weapons!"

So that's it. This guard soldier is pretty good and he knows how to guard against others.

Changsun Sheng continued to shout: "We are really a caravan. Look, we have so many carriages and goods! As for these people, they are all guards. It's so chaotic outside, and the caravan also needs someone to protect them!"

After hearing this, the soldier felt reasonable, but after looking at the number of people outside the city, he had never seen such a caravan with so many people, and hesitated for a moment.

After thinking about it, he decided to notify the Lord Master if he was coming, so he said to Changsun Sheng: "You are waiting here, I will inform the Lord Master!"

Changsun Sheng turned around and explained to Zhou Wu: "The other party saw that there were so many of us and they were still carrying weapons, so he didn't dare to open the door. I told him that we were a caravan, and the other party has now gone to inform the owner of this city!"

Zhou Wu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir. Fortunately, sir has come too, so I have saved a lot of effort!"

"Okay, Captain Zhou wants to thank you, thank you!" Changsun Sheng shook his head gently and signaled that he was also sent by the Lord.

Zhou Wu immediately replied: "Your kindness is remembered in my heart, but my hard work will never be forgotten!"

Because if the caravan gets the credit this time, most of the things he will have to do with him as the captain, so he has these words of thanks.

Just as the two were having a lot of chatting, the city gate in front slowly opened with a harsh sound of opening the door.

After the city gate was completely opened, a person who was familiar with Changsun Sheng walked out and began to greet them into the city from afar!

"So it's an envoy. Come on, come on, come on, come on and go to the city!"

At this time, Changsun Sheng remembered who this person was, the lord and financial officer I met at the banquet who claimed to be the lord and financial officer who had been passed down from generation to generation - John!

Changsun Sheng stepped forward and bowed to John with a smile on his face, "It turns out that he is the Treasurer John. How dare you bother to come here in person? It's really a sin!"

"Where did the messenger say? Didn't I keep the trade treaty?" John asked, "I wonder if the messenger's caravan will bring a crystal wine glass this time?"

When Changsun Sheng heard the other party’s question, he immediately knew that it was probably the crystal wine glass he gave to Lord Kevin. After being shown off many times, these nobles probably thought that they would get such a piece for the sake of face!

So Changsun Sheng took the conversation and replied: "Just call me Changsun Sheng or Sheng. This time I am just a businessman, not a messenger!"

"There are some crystal wine glasses that the ge needs this time, but not many, because this wine glass will easily break, so it is inconvenient to transport. I hope you can forgive me, but...!"

When Changsun Sheng saw the disappointed expression on the other party's face, he immediately changed his words and said, "But if it was Mr. John, he would give him one, and he would not charge any money!"

"Hahaha~! Sheng, you are really good. Since you said you wanted to give me a gift, I'm not polite!" When John heard that Changsun Sheng was going to give him a crystal wine glass, he immediately laughed happily and said kindly to Changsun Sheng.

"If you have any problems with your caravan, come and find me!"
