During the dinner, Liu Yuande asked Fang Chang: "Sir, are you going to southern Xinjiang?"

Fang Chang took a piece of meat, nodded and said: "That's right, I already said in the previous letter that I'm going to the Suzaku Training Hall of the Yaozu to find something to confirm where the enemy's lair is."

"Mr. has this method, which can be described as a great kindness." Liu Yuande said: "From the information received, it seems that they know that there is a secret from heaven. They hide their lair very well and never show it to others. The order is also mysterious. Yes, hard to track."

Next to him, Yu Qingling focused on another aspect: "Sir, do you need assistance? The rebel army has a large number of people in southern Xinjiang, and there are also many practitioners there, constantly looking for clues and clearing up the enemy. Why don't you ask Yuan De to issue a warrant, but If necessary, just bring the warrant to find support."

"Good." Fang Chang said, "It will come in handy."

After the banquet, Liu Yuande returned to the main account, issued a warrant of "the holder of the warrant but all levels must fully cooperate to meet the needs", presented it to Fang Chang, and filed it.

At the time of parting, Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande had been sent three miles out of the camp gate before Fang Chang separated from them.

………………

The winter wind rolled over the wilderness, kicked up scattered sand, stones and fallen leaves, swayed the tips of the yellowish grass, and also lifted a corner of the thick oilcloth covering the roof of the carriage in the middle of the road.

There were two young boys sitting in front of the carriage. They quickly jumped out of the carriage, and while running with the carriage, they pulled the rope tightly, trying to tie it up and fix it, so as to prevent the oilcloth from being blown up again. The young people don't have much sorrow for the spring and autumn, they just look up at the leaden sky, then turn around and continue to work.

It is very south, and the winter wind is not too cold, but running with the carriage is not as comfortable as sitting in the carriage.

So they were eager to get things done so that they could get back to the front of the carriage as soon as possible.

Fang Chang was passing by here, and his speed on the official road was faster than the motorcade next to him.

Pedestrians didn't feel uncomfortable about this, not to mention that this fast-walking man in white is very natural to be placed with the surrounding environment. It's not uncommon to be quick, and some of them are so nasty that no one comes forward to talk to them.

"You two, move faster, or the convoy will have to stop and wait for you!"

The steward of the team also saw the situation over there, and scolded a few times, the two boys increased their strength, and their faces were a little red. The other people in the convoy were no longer surprised by this, but beside them, a kind-hearted middle-aged man jumped down to help the two teenagers tie up the goods.

"Eh? No, why is it so loose."

The middle-aged man has rich experience, and he noticed the difference in the feel as soon as he started to use it, and he also noticed the reason why the rope was not easy to tie. There were many ropes wrapped around the car that were supposed to be tight, but some of them had loosened, so pulling The loose end will be hindered quite a bit, and cannot be tied as tightly as before.

Before he could open his mouth, the manager in the distance, who was more experienced and could see things clearly, also noticed something was wrong:

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

The convoy stopped in a mess, and many vehicles in front of them were even a little unclear. After hearing the steward's order, they subconsciously pulled the animals to stop.

"Stand aside, let's go to the side of the road to check the goods!"

So the whole convoy moved to find an open space on the side of the road to stop, so as not to block the road and affect the passage of people behind. This is actually a customary rule on official roads. Of course, it is easy to offend people if you don’t do this, so everyone is willing to abide by it. After all, when you go out, you are all about making money with harmony.

Fortunately, it is relatively north. Even if the temperature is not so low as to freeze, there are still no crops planted in the fields in winter. Although the open space they found is not big enough, they can stop in the nearby fields.

Fang Chang had already slowed down and stopped to watch.

Seeing their actions and hearing their movements, many passers-by on the road also stopped and gathered around to watch the excitement not far away. The road is dull and life is boring, and this sudden situation can easily arouse the interest of others.

The stewards in the convoy were anxious and didn't have the energy and time to pay attention to the onlookers around them.

He loudly urged the guys to remove the thick tarpaulin on the car to check the goods inside, and even found a large scale to weigh the quantity of the goods on the spot and compare it with the quantity on the account book before departure.

Fortunately, this caravan carried clear goods, so it didn't take much effort.

"The goods are much less!"

The steward, who had already seen that the size of the goods on the carriage was not right, got the news that was a bit overwhelming.

He forcibly suppressed his emotions, and asked the person: "How many cars were involved in the accident? How much was the loss? Give me a total!"

"We have three vehicles with less cargo, about a hundred catties."

The steward immediately turned around in circles: "What should I do...what should I do..."

He was in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he called the drivers of several cars over, stood in a row in front of him, and asked each of them where they were going. Naturally, the coachmen couldn't answer. No matter how they recalled the two days on the road and during the accommodation, they didn't know what happened.

Seeing this scene, the team steward began to scold.

"You guys are so stupid, I shouldn't have hired you. If you guys had been more careful on the road, this situation wouldn't have happened. Otherwise, why don't other people's cars have less goods, but the three of you have less goods? Is it? It must have been careless in the inn before departure, and was caught by the thieves!..."

After being severely robbed, the older one bowed his head in silence, while the two younger ones couldn't stand it, and worried that they would be asked for compensation, so they even cried.

"Cry, cry, cry! I know how to cry! What about the goods? Find them back." The steward was still relentless, and then, as if out of anger, he pulled out a rolling pin from the car beside him, and was about to beat him.

Fang Chang couldn't see it, and stepped forward to stop him: "Stop, don't hurt anyone!"

He could see clearly that the goods were not lost by the caravan in the previous residence, but were taken away by uninvited guests just when the wind blew them up.

Hearing this, the steward became more sober, temporarily retracted the raised rolling pin, and asked Fang Chang:

"Who are you? Why do you want to meddle in such nosy business?"

Fang Chang cupped his hands slightly and said: "I'm just a scattered person in Jianghu. I happened to see the loss of the goods just now, but it has nothing to do with these brothers. Please hold your hands high and spare them."

Only then did the manager pay attention to the attire on Fang Chang's body, and suddenly felt that the other party was extraordinary.

So he restrained his temper a little bit, put the rolling pin aside, and then cupped his hands to Fang Chang: "This... strong man, can you teach me about our lost goods?"

Thank you yes sd, radish 005 for your reward.
