The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land
Chapter 185 Purchasing
After what happened at the city gate, no one had any appetite for food.
Especially Jiang Lan, his whole face has been black since he moved into the inn.
There were many of them, so Bai Zhao stepped forward and booked the entire inn.
This also avoids crowds and helps deal with emergencies.
The food was directly pulled into the backyard of the inn.
Wei Liu arranged two groups of people to patrol. These patrollers were all their own people, and Jiang Lan's people were not included.
Jiang Lan has been restless ever since entering the city.
He called Wei Li and Chang Bo into the room, "You have been dealing with the Wei family these days, and now you have a good relationship with them. What do they think of the exchange conditions proposed by my father?"
Wei Li and Chang Bo looked at each other and saw the helplessness of both sides.
The two said in unison, "Prince, we don't know."
Chang Bo added, "We are the King of Yan's men after all. Even if we have a good relationship, they will not tell us such an important matter."
Wei Li also nodded in agreement.
"Do you have any good ideas now? We don't know how long we will be held back by the Wei family when we wait for my father to make the exchange. Can we save ourselves?"
Jiang Lan asked two more questions.
"Prince, do you want to...get rid of the Wei family in advance without waiting for the exchange with the prince?"
Changbo pondered for a while before asking what Jiang Lan meant.
Jiang Lan nodded. "Jucheng is the last city in Lianzhou. The Wei family will not be needed to protect it in the future. We have a lot of people. Why don't we send the food to the soldiers guarding the city and leave overnight."
The room was silent, no one spoke.
After hearing this, Wei Li turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it.
He had been fighting on the border of Yanzhou and had not had much contact with the Prince of Yan. He did not expect him to be of such a character.
"Changbo, what do you say? You are the only one among us who does not have a contract to sell your body."
Chang Bo said awkwardly, "To be safe, you should wait for the prince to redeem you! You have seen the situation at the city gate. Even if we hand over the grain, they may not let us go easily!"
They are indeed very skilled, but they cannot match the other side's large numbers.
Now we are still in Lianzhou. If our identity is discovered, it may not be possible to redeem us with money or food.
Maybe the whole Yanzhou will be implicated, and families will be destroyed.
Changbo did not say these words out loud, for fear that this person would be provoked and do what he wanted.
Jiang Lan could hear Chang Bo's refusal, and his face drooped. "Captain Wei, what do you think? You said at the beginning that the indenture was fake. Now my father wants to use such a large batch of grain to exchange me back, all because of you."
Wei Li remained silent. At first, he was indeed certain that the Wei family would not make things difficult for him. After all, he was a descendant of the Wei family.
After Wei Liu guessed his identity, he did not treat him any preferentially.
Not to mention tearing up the indenture.
Because of this, the Prince of Yan had some complaints about him.
Wei Li was helpless, "Prince, the situation was too critical at the time, and King Li sent people to hunt you down. At that time, King Li would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. If you didn't have a reasonable identity and Miss Bai didn't help you disguise yourself, I'm afraid you would have been killed by King Li--"
"Okay, Prince, you take a rest first, I'll take him to discuss it."
Jiang Lan's face had turned red. Chang Bo saw that he looked unhappy, so he quickly stopped Wei Li and took him out of the room.
"Snap~" After they went out, a crackling sound was heard in the room.
Only after the sound stopped did Changbo breathe a sigh of relief.
"Tell me, why did you provoke him!" Chang Bo dragged Wei Li to the backyard, "Whatever you have in mind, keep it to yourself. When the young master returns to Yuzhou, you can go back to Yanzhou or stay in Yuzhou. It's your choice."
"The general is going back to Yuzhou?" Wei Li emphasized the word "return" and said, "The general's family is in Yuzhou."
"Young Master is not much different from Jiang Lan." Chang Bo said in a calm tone, with no fluctuation on his face.
"Not much difference, what do you mean?" Wei Li didn't react to what it meant for a moment, he scratched his head, "Brother Changbo, please explain it more clearly."
"You can go if you want!" Chang Bo flicked his sleeves and was about to leave when he stopped, "Stay here tonight and don't let anyone find you."
After Changbo left, Wei Li leaned against the grain cart, frowning slightly, "It doesn't matter what, it's the same. Why did Changbo say that?"
"And he's going back to Yuzhou... Could it be... Could it be the King Xian~"
Wei Li didn't dare to think any further and collected his thoughts in time, "If that's the case, why would I return to Yanzhou!"
He suppressed his excitement, walked around the yard a few times with his hands behind his back, and made a decision in his heart.
Bai Jingzhi didn't know what happened between the three of them in the Prince of Yan's room, but she was always on guard against Jiang Lan.
After Wei Liu had arranged the manpower, Bai Jingzhi called him over again.
"Sixth Grandpa, is Jiang Lan okay?"
What happened at the city gate today made me worry that this person might have some evil intentions.
In terms of fighting power, they are not at an advantage. If Jiang Lan's people want to take action, they are no match.
"Just now he called Wei Li and Chang Bo into his room, but~"
Wei Liu pondered for a moment and gave his own judgment, "They must have had some disagreements. Jiang Lan got really angry after they left."
"Oh? Do you know what they talked about?" Bai Jingzhi felt that Jiang Lan was going to do something weird again.
"I don't know. Wei Li and Chang Bo went to the backyard. After a few words, Chang Bo left. Wei Li is still guarding there."
Wei Liu just glanced at them from a distance and didn't go over. He didn't know what they said.
"If that's the case, we still have to be on guard and keep an eye out for people from Yanzhou at night."
It's never too cautious to be cautious at this time.
They were about to leave Jucheng, so it was normal for Jiang Lan to have some thoughts.
The Prince of Yan's Mansion is not an ordinary wealthy family. Prince Yan spent so many resources to redeem Jiang Lan and his group, so it is inevitable that he has some opinions about Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan has seen everything in the mansion and is even more concerned about his future.
He caused the King of Yan to suffer, and he will definitely not have a good result when he returns.
If the Prince of Yan had a few more sons, his status would probably be affected.
"I'll have people step up patrols at night. If there's any noise, we'll use some extraordinary measures."
Wei Liuchao glanced at Wei Hongmian and thought, they still have a trump card, so there is no need to be afraid.
Wei Hongmian nodded, "I'll get some potions for later, just to be safe, just in case."
"Uncle Six, let's go buy some things. It gets cold in Wujiyuan in the winter, and the elderly and children may not be able to withstand it."
Bai Zhao interrupted after they finished speaking.
"We really need to go buy some. After passing Jucheng, it gets colder the further north we go. We still have some distance to go before we reach Wujiyuan, so we really need to buy some things to keep out the cold."
Wei Liu had heard of Wujiyuan and indeed needed to make preparations in advance.
"I'll call my two nephews, and we'll catch a carriage and be back before curfew. We'll be out of town early tomorrow morning, so there won't be time to do any shopping."
After Bai Zhao finished speaking, he took some silver money from Wei Hongmian and went out to call his two nephews.
"I'll have someone keep an eye on them, don't worry, just get some rest. Duan'er and Yao'er are being looked after, don't pay any attention to them."
After Wei Liu finished his instructions, he left in a hurry.
"Did those two children go to your grandmother and great aunt's place?"
Strangely enough, the two children surprisingly liked these two people, and did not mind their rudeness, and were very obedient.
When they first arrived, the two children stayed away from them.
Today, the relationship is no longer the same as before.
"Mom, don't worry about that for now. Bring Sister Yue'e out first. She has something to do."
Zhou Yue'e was in a hurry to travel that day and was covered in dust. After dinner, she quietly went into the space to take a shower.
After Wei Hongmian brought the people out, Bai Jingzhi told them what happened to Jiang Lan and the other two, and said two words to Zhou Yue'e:
"Sister Yue'e, go get some information from Wei Li and see what the Prince of Yan is up to."
Zhou Yue'e got the task and left in a hurry, still smelling of rose shower gel.
"Mom, don't sleep too deeply tonight, in case something happens."
"Are you thinking too much?"
"It's better to be careful at this time. Jiang Lan is not a gentleman, and there's no telling what he will do."
After Bai Jingzhi gave his instructions, he lay on the bed and began to think about things.
It was cold in Jucheng, and as soon as it got dark, there were not many pedestrians on the street.
The people who went out to buy only drove an ox cart. Wei Liu suddenly reminded them in a low voice, "Someone is following you, don't look back."
