"Hey, Sect Master Qin, you only need five people to go, and you only need to pay 200 silver coins and two large carts of food, and you can bring back a cart of valuables! Just be careful to look after everyone's vehicles on the road."

Another businessman also advised.

"But, we're just starting out, where can we get so much silver? We also have to buy food... Alas!" Qin Qiong made a bitter face, shook his head, and looked pitiful.

"I think, Boss Jia should be more tolerant. Sect Leader Qin's alliance has indeed just begun, this..." Mr. Guo here finally spoke up for Qin Qiong and the others.

The two businessmen and Fatty Jia looked at each other in embarrassment.

Finally, Fatty Jia stamped his feet and said to Qin Qiong, "Okay, we also want to make friends with Sect Master Qin, so you only need one hundred silver this time! No less, otherwise, what will happen to the other people in the caravan? Sect Master Qin is from the sect, and he understands things the best! He understands the ways of the world, right?"

"That... I see! Thank you so much, Boss Jia! I don't know what to say, Jinchang! Please help me toast Brother Jia a few more glasses, and to these friends, and yes, to these adults!"

Qin Qiong immediately grabbed Fatty Jia's hand and refused to let go, expressing his gratitude profusely.

Finally, I asked when to leave, and then I found out that it was still a month away, so there was no rush.

Qin Qiong said that she would arrange for someone to collect the grain immediately. Then she asked Boss Jia in a somewhat obscene way, what other merchants brought? Boss Jia laughed and said that he would invite Qin Qiong to a banquet when he had the chance, and then he would talk about it in detail.

Qin Qiong immediately said that it must be done some other day, and she would treat him, so Boss Jia must honor him!

The meal lasted until the afternoon, when everyone dispersed.

Uncle Qin may have sensed that something was wrong with his sister, so he did not go to see Mr. Guo off after dinner, but went back to the headquarters with Qin Qiong and the others.

"Sister, shall we, shall we join this caravan?"

Brother Jinchang looked at Qin Qiong's face carefully and asked in a low voice.

Qin Qiong sat down, took the tea brought by Aunt Mei, took two sips, and looked at Mr. Gao and Uncle Qin.

Then he lowered his head and said, "Tell me, what do you think about this?"

The two men drank their tea and no one spoke for a while. Qin Qiong was not in a hurry. Finally, it was Brother Jinchang who spoke.

"It looks like we... If we can start a business, we won't have to worry about our livelihood after the rainy season."

"But is it really that good? Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Mr. Gao shook his head.

"It must be because of what we did last time. Also, we are now guests of the An Ning Palace, so, that's why... this is also the connection we have accumulated. It must be that you all know Mr. Guo."

Brother Jinchang retorted.

Qin Qiong raised his eyes and glanced at Brother Jinchang...

This person is actually not a bad person, and is a bit of a good person. He is just too naive and always thinks the best of things. If such a person is born in a peaceful era, he will definitely live a good life.

But this brain... Qin Qiong thought about it, if this kid doesn't grow up, what will happen when Brother Zhan grows up? Will there be another Daixiang incident?

No, she thought to herself. If she did that, she would be too tired! She must let him grow up on his own.

Thinking of this, she said to Uncle Qin: "How about this, you go out and visit those adults who have lived there for a long time, listen to what they say, and then go talk to Mr. Guo and listen to his opinion."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow!"

Brother Jinchang is very happy.

At this time, Qin Qiong suddenly found that Aunt Mei was still in the room. It seemed that something happened, otherwise, she would have left long ago.

"Aunt, is there something wrong?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Yes, well, there is something, how should I put it..."

Aunt Mei turned the plate in her hand and spoke with a bit of embarrassment.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. No, you are embarrassed sometimes too."

Qin Qiong said with a smile.

Aunt Mei looked up at her, but this time she didn't look accusing. Qin Qiong was so excited. Oh my God! What happened to Aunt Mei? Has she changed her personality?

"that is……"

Aunt Mei lowered her head again and said, "We are a little worried."

"Worried? What are you worried about?"

"Do you remember the last time Huaer came to tell me that she was going to get married?"

Qin Qiong was stunned, thought for a while, and then remembered.

Huaer is a girl in the yard over there. She was sold by a brother who used to walk with her when she was young.

However, she did not have a deep impression of this woman. She seemed to be not very smart and just followed Douhua and the others around.

Some time ago, she suddenly said she was going to get married, which scared Qin Qiong. He thought that the people in this town were too tolerant. Later, he found out that she was not from this town.

Because she was busy moving the yard at that time, and didn't pay much attention to it. It was agreed at the beginning that they were all free. Later, everyone divided the money and it seemed that everyone left. Why were they talking about her now?

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Mr. Gao also asked.

"It's like this. A few days ago, many people from the Jia family in the town came back. One of the servants said that they saw flowers in the nearby county. It was in that kind of place... So, we are a little worried."

"No way, didn't she get married? Besides, even if she ran out of money, didn't she tell her she could come back anytime?"

"That's what they said. When Douhua and the others heard this, they remembered that Hua'er seemed to have always called that man 'brother'. The more we thought about it, the more it seemed to be wrong. We were afraid that it was that the beggar brothers had come back and took her away again..."

Qin Qiong frowned. If that was the case, it was very possible.

"A neighboring county? How can we find it?"

Mr. Gao was a little panicked. He usually had more contact with those women and knew every one of them by name.

"Maybe, I saw it wrong..."

Uncle Qin muttered quietly, "Besides, it could be her..."

"Yes, we also thought that we might have seen it wrong, but..."

Aunt Mei glanced at Uncle Qin with some dissatisfaction.

But she still said, "In the town, the old man from the secret kiln came to find Qiu Zhi and was scolded by Qiu Zhi. He said that he was the one who asked those beggars to come to Hua'er, and Hua'er had been sold by them a long time ago. If... sooner or later, they will have the same fate... Qiu Zhi heard this and then came to Douhua and told me, thinking that everyone had just started to live like a human being, and would rather die than do that again, so..."

No one in the hall spoke.

"Ask Douhua and the others to come over, as well as Qutou."

Qin Qiong ordered coldly. Aunt Mei nodded and went out.

Qin Qiong stood up and walked around the room. She turned around and asked Mr. Gao, "Last time you said that one of the other two kilns in this town was opened by someone from the mine, right?"

"Yes, it seems that a captain was injured and went to the mine. There is no border defense here, so the barracks over there are mostly wounded soldiers. The biggest one there seems to be a lieutenant."

Soon, Douhua and two other women came over. The others still had to take care of the business in the store, Douhua explained.
