"stop!"
When Young Master Liu's voice came, Song Qing retracted the knife and retreated. The shopkeeper Jin watched Song Qing while sweeping towards Young Master Liu's voice.
Liu Mingzhi got off his horse and walked to the middle-aged man about ten steps away with full armor and stopped: "Where are you in the caravan? Who is the leader of the caravan? What supplies are the caravan transporting?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Mingzhi: "General, we are a caravan from Xishan, the leader is Qiao Yuanwai, Qiao Chengyun, and we are transporting... some leather goods traded from the northern Xinjiang exchange market. Food and a small amount of weapons are equipped for the guard at home to guard against thieves! We are all serious businessmen who have paid taxes and inspected all the way along the way! Please learn from the general!"
Liu Mingzhi looked sideways at the middle-aged man: "You are not a dragon!"
The middle-aged man frowned, knowing that he couldn't deny it, and nodded lightly: "Exactly, Cao Min is a businessman from the Kingdom of Jin. This time, he came to Dalong to sell tea and silk with Shopkeeper Qiao!"
"Where is Shopkeeper Joe?"
"Caomin is...in...here!"
Qiao Chengyun's trembling voice came from under the carriage.
Liu Mingzhi took the torch from his personal guard and squatted on the ground to look at Qiao Chengyun's obese body under the carriage: "Master Qiao?"
"Report...Report...My lord, it's Caomin!"
"Come out and talk, what are you doing under the carriage?"
"Grass people... still... thought they were robbers!"
"So that's the case. Since the shopkeeper Qiao is so afraid of robbers, why does he have to travel at night? You must know that the night in the south of the Yangtze River is not so safe!"
"The owner of the goods is in a hurry. If you are late, you will have to pay [-]% less money. The grass people have no choice but to do it. They are thinking about whether they can rush to the owner's place smoothly. Don't worry if you meet the officers and soldiers led by the adults!"
"Oh, you'll feel more at ease in a while!"

Chapter 748 It's a shame
Qiao Chengyun looked at First Young Master Liu with a bad feeling.
"My lord, what does this mean? The grassroots don't quite understand!"
Liu Mingzhi handed the torch to his guards and walked towards the carriage carrying the goods: "Didn't the shopkeeper say that he was afraid of being robbed by robbers when he was traveling at night? Since this is the case, the commander-in-chief just has nothing to do, why don't you send a team of soldiers to escort you?" ?”
Qiao Chengyun's obese body shook and forced out a smile: "My lord, you are welcome, Cao Min's goods will be delivered to the owner at the destination soon, so I won't bother the officers and soldiers to escort them!"
"Are there soon?"
"That's right! We'll be there soon, and we'll be there after another day's journey before dawn."
"Oh... I understand now, you guys are going to Hengzhou, that's pretty soon!"
"My lord's eyesight is like a torch, Cao Min is delivering the goods to Hengzhou!"
Liu Mingzhi looked sideways at the middle-aged man in the Kingdom of Jin: "You said you were going to buy tea, silk and exquisite porcelain with Shopkeeper Qiao, right?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the shopkeeper Jin with a slight worry on his face: "That's right, the grassroots are planning to sell these things, and my lord knows that His Majesty the Emperor of your country is open to business exchanges, and the people of our two countries are thinking of the Emperor Your Majesty is well."
Liu Mingzhi nodded happily and looked at Song Qing: "Deputy General Song, tell them what Hengzhou produces!"
Song Qing looked at the shopkeeper Qiao and the middle-aged man with a sneer: "Hengzhou produces everything except tea because of the water and soil. It is a big joke for you to sell tea in Hengzhou!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he looked at Liu Mingzhi who had already gone to check the goods with a somewhat cloudy expression!
"preparation!"
Cheng Kai suddenly shouted, and the archers stepped forward and immediately bent their bows and set arrows at the dozens of guards around the middle-aged man, and the sword and shield soldiers immediately surrounded the archers to protect them.
Liu Mingzhi turned around suspiciously.
Cheng Kai grabbed the command flag and looked at the middle-aged man sharply: "If you dare to act recklessly, you will be killed with ten thousand arrows piercing your heart!"
The middle-aged man shrank his eyes and stayed where he was, not daring to move the slightest. Liu Mingzhi drew out his Heavenly Sword to cut off the rope that bound the canvas.
Qiao Chengyun hurried up: "My lord, there are only some ordinary goods inside, and the government of the state city has inspected it! If you don't believe me, this is a customs clearance document approved by Cao Min from the Ministry of Households. Cao Min is in a hurry to deliver it, sir. Please do me a favor, let the grassroots go!"
Liu Mingzhi didn't answer Qiao Chengyun's words and cut the rope on the bullock cart with a sword, and the canvas slid down, revealing the burlap on the carriage.
Liu Mingzhi stretched out his hand and patted, and there was the sound of food.
Qiao Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, you have also seen that it is really just some food! We are all ordinary people, how can we transport the materials prohibited by the court!"
"Plain-headed people? You are Mediterranean people, and bald-headed people have to search today. Commander Liu Mingzhi, His Majesty Feng intends to suppress bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. If you don't drive well during the day, you will meet the commander who returned from suppressing bandits at night. If you don't It would be a little dereliction of duty for me to check it out!"
"Search!"
"Yes!"
Qiao Chengyun couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard Young Master Liu self-reporting his family background!
The middle-aged man looked at First Young Master Liu with surprise on his face and began to examine him up and down.
The cavalry got off their horses, one on guard and the other untied the ropes around them.
When Qiao Chengyun saw the carriages being untied, fine sweat broke out on Da Dong's forehead.
"Marshal, look quickly! Feather Arrow!"
Liu Mingzhi took back the Heavenly Sword and hurried up, Song Qing took over the torch from the personal guard and rushed over.
The expression of the bundled arrows on Liu Mingzhi Wangzhe's bullock cart changed drastically, he took a torch and walked towards the back one at a time, and couldn't help but gasp if he didn't pass by a cart.
Swords and armor, bows and arrows, food and cloth are all available. Although each vehicle is not loaded with much and is hidden with sacks, these materials add up to more than enough to equip an army of 1 people!
Song Qing grabbed an iron-bodied bow and pulled it. The sound of pulling the bow string was soft and sweet, and he handed the iron-bodied bow to Liu Mingzhi with a livid face: "It's all a stone bow. Equipped with a phoenix feather arrow is a killer weapon." what!"
Liu Mingzhi supported the lines on the bow's body: "You bastard, the officials of the state capital along the way let the iron tire bow flow into the hinterland, it's simply dereliction of duty and incompetence."
Qiao Chengyun saw the iron tire bow in Young Master Liu's hand and ran over at a speed that didn't match his body. He looked in horror at the bow and arrow wrapped in burlap in the frame and his face trembled.
"Why... how come there are these things, isn't it agreed that there are only some swords and armor?"
The middle-aged man and shopkeeper Jin took a deep breath and closed his eyes as if resigned to fate.
Among the types of weapons prohibited to be bought and sold by the Dalong court is the iron tire bow, which is as famous as the rhubarb bow.
"Hmph...... Shopkeeper Qiao, shopkeeper Qiao, your family has enough nursing homes, and you are bold enough. The iron tire bows that the government soldiers are not allowed to equip, and the standard bows and arrows of the Kingdom of Jin Dare to equip the triangular arrow!"
Qiao Chengyun collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and pointed to the shopkeeper Jin and the middle-aged man not far away: "You...you are cheating me!"
Liu Mingzhi slowly walked in front of the middle-aged man: "What else do you have to say? You know who this batch of supplies is for, and this Commander also knows it well. Let's talk to this Commander when we return to camp!"
