My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Having decided to go to Xiongnu, Mu Zheng took Li Lian and Gong Wen to stay at the transfer station that night. As for Qi Yuxiu, Mu Zheng asked her to return to Xiangdao first and then send a capable person to take over the work of the transfer station.

Before leaving, Qi Yuxiu looked at Mu Zheng several times. Mu Zheng thought she was worried about her safety and told her not to worry and to relax several times.

When Li Yu heard from his subordinates that Master Li Lian and Boss Gong Wen were also going to the Xiongnu in person, he immediately rushed to the transit station.

"You two are so hands-on, which is really admirable. But Yecheng is very far from the Xiongnu, and the road is not safe. It would be better for you to bring more guards." Li Yu meant well. After all, in his opinion, Mu Zheng alone was not a strong fighting force.

"That's fine!" Li Lian waved his hand. "Besides, our caravan has its own escorts."

"Eh? How can they be the same?" Li Yu knew full well that this was someone even Liu Lin feared. He must be very important. If something went wrong, his entire clan would be chopped off. "My Li family is just a bunch of small fry, barely strong enough to protect those merchants, but Master Lian is worth a fortune..."

Li Yu looked embarrassed. If possible, he sincerely hoped that Li Lian would not wander around, stay in the city honestly, and not cause him any trouble.

"Dad! What are you talking about?" The big man who came in with Li Lian seemed dissatisfied with Li Yu's deliberate belittlement: "I, Li Cheng, have never been afraid of anyone with my martial arts skills."

As he spoke, the big man clenched his fists, making a crackling sound.

Mu Zheng vaguely felt that this was a warmonger.

Although he was half a head shorter than himself, in ancient times, a height of around 1.75 meters was considered tall. More importantly, this man seemed to have well-developed muscles, especially his chest muscles, which were very impressive.

Li Cheng saw Mu Zheng and the other two looking at him, but he was not afraid at all and let everyone see him openly. After they finished looking, he stepped on the stool and leaned close to Mu Zheng: "Are you their bodyguard? What's your name?"

Li Yu's face darkened. Just as he was about to remind Li Cheng to be more respectful, he saw Mu Zheng leaning back slightly: "Mu Zheng!"

"Mu Zheng?" The big man frowned: "Not domineering enough!"

Mu Zheng was speechless. You sounded as if the name "Li Cheng" was impressive. Apart from anything else, your voice was very delicate.

"Chen'er!"

Li Yu couldn't bear to watch this any longer. He frowned slightly, turned to Li Lian and bowed, "I'm so sorry, I haven't introduced my daughter, Li Cheng, to Mr. Lian and Boss Gong yet."

what?

The men almost jumped up.

daughter?

Is this Li Cheng a woman?

How can it be!

Look at his masculine attire. Not only are his movements crude, but his speech lacks any elegance. And those muscles, so huge...

Uh, okay, that's not muscle.

But how does Li Cheng look like a woman?

Mu Zheng took a closer look and found that there was no hair!

Li Cheng seemed to be accustomed to the surprised looks from the crowd. She laughed heartily and patted Mu Zheng's shoulder heavily. "Boy, let's have a few exchanges when you have time. I want to see how strong the guards around the big shots are."

Mu Zheng was speechless.

"What? You don't agree?" Li Cheng's expression suddenly changed. "You look down on me because I'm a woman? I'm not exaggerating, there's no man in Ye City who can rival me. Don't underestimate your penis, it's easy for me to break it."

Mu Zheng's face turned pale.

Sister, what you said is really more open than modern people.

Li Yu was standing aside and his body was shaking. If he hadn't been holding on to the table, he would have fallen down immediately.

Seeing Li Cheng's dissatisfaction and contempt, Mu Zheng twisted his lips and tutted, "Okay, let's practice when we have time. Even though you have a chest armor, I can pierce you if I want to!"

ha?

Li Lian and Gong Wen were stunned.

Li Yu sat directly on the stool.

Only Li Cheng, with an excited look on her face, patted Mu Zheng's shoulder again, "Very straightforward, you are a real man. I'm waiting for you to come and poke me. Hahahaha..."

Li Cheng ran away, saying that he was going to prepare everything for tomorrow's trip.

Seeing his daughter rush out in a hurry, Li Yu said with a smile as if it was nothing unusual, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

As the leader in Li Yu's mind, Li Lian took the initiative to talk to her: "No, no, Miss Li is a person of good temperament and has a likable personality. I like her very much."

Of course, this was just a polite remark, but Li Yu was very happy to hear it. He chuckled and said, "The caravan will leave tomorrow. Why don't you take some of Daxin's unique products to the Xiongnu? You might even make a small profit."

Li Yu did not think that Master Lian would be short of money, but doing a favor by giving advice on how to make money often brings unexpected results.

When Mu Zheng and his companions heard this, they instantly became interested. After saying goodbye to Li Yu, they actually collected a lot of cloth, forbidden items, earthenware jars, ironware, etc. These seemed to be ordinary items in the Central Plains, but they could be exchanged for good horses, furs, cattle, sheep, medicinal materials and other items on the Xiongnu side.

After some trouble, everyone returned to the transfer station. Behind the transfer station was a guesthouse, which took up a lot of space and was a place for caravans and merchants to rest.

For example, Bai Xiaoya will live here.

However, Mu Zheng and the others would definitely not choose to sleep in the same room with him.

They chose the west side house.

As soon as I entered, I saw three shirtless men sitting in the room, looking at Mu Zheng and his friends in surprise.

The room was a large bunk bed, and the conditions were not as good as Mu Zheng had imagined. But that was understandable, after all, they were all businessmen, and the most important thing was to occupy the least amount of space to accommodate the most people, so a large bunk bed could perfectly achieve this.

"Where to sleep?" Gong Wen asked casually.

"Whatever!" Mu Zheng didn't care.

Li Lian took a look at the house and finally pointed to the corner and said, "That way."

A few people thought it was okay. After all, although the corner was dark, it was quiet. But when everyone walked in, they found that there was already a man there.

To be precise, he was an old man.

He was lying at the very edge. When he saw Mu Zheng and others approaching, he subconsciously sat up, looked at them with a wary look, and then moved the cloth drape to the corner of the wall.

Uh, are you afraid of encountering thieves?

Seeing this, Mu Zheng and others consciously moved two beds outside. You don’t want to sit next to us, and we don’t want to sit next to you.

"When do we set off tomorrow?" Mu Zheng asked Gong Wen.

"It should be in the morning, right? But I'm not sure exactly." Gong Wen said that everything had to be arranged by Li Cheng, and he would not leave without her order.

"So how many merchants are going to the Xiongnu this time?" Mu Zheng asked again, but Gong Wen still shook his head: "Probably quite a few. Business in the Central Plains is not good these days, and everyone wants to venture beyond the Great Wall."

As he was speaking, he heard footsteps outside, coming very quickly. He looked up and saw that it was Li Yu.

"Hey, Master Lian, Boss Gong, why are you sleeping here?" Li Yu's forehead was covered with sweat. When he learned that the two gentlemen had come to sleep in the dormitory, he was so scared that he hurried over. He said that he had prepared a room specifically for Li Lian and Gong Wen to rest.

"Manager Li, you're too polite." Li Lian immediately rejected Li Yu's offer. For one thing, it wouldn't work for the two of them to sleep in a nice place while leaving Mu Zheng here. They also wanted to sleep in the large bunk bed. After all, they were going to the Xiongnu, and interacting with these merchants would make it easier to obtain useful information.

After several attempts, Li Yu reluctantly left.

After Li Yu left, the old man also sat up and asked, "Gentlemen, is this your first time visiting the Xiongnu?"
