Chapter 15 Ye Wuwei's First Arrival in Chamdo

Ye Wuwei handed over the things at hand, took a few weapons and the money he had earned in the past two years, and went to Chamdo alone.

Four days later, Ye Wuwei arrived at Ji Prefecture.

The distance from Anping County to Ji Prefecture is 500 miles, but it took four days to walk.

Ye Wuwei sighed in his heart: Transportation in ancient times was really backward!

If it were in modern times, he could drive a jeep for two or three hours to reach a distance of 500 miles, and high-speed rail and airplanes would be even faster.

In fact, the horse Ye Wuwei rode was a good horse. Its speed could reach more than 50 kilometers per hour, but he had been walking for a long time and the horse needed a rest.

If it is an ordinary horse, it is normal to run continuously at a speed of 30-40 kilometers every day for a long time. This is also because his horse is good and can run more distance.

However, after entering the territory of Jifu, Ye Wuwei clearly felt that Jifu was much more prosperous than Anping County. It was no longer full of dense forests and mountain roads, nor was it a simple business.

Although Ye Wuwei has been in Anping County for two years, he has been very busy during these two years and has never left Anping County.

Based on his understanding of Qi Dynasty, Ye Wuwei took a tour of Ji Mansion.

Ye Wuwei had not expected that porcelain would be so expensive in the Qi Dynasty. A vase that Ye Wuwei thought was not well made and of very ordinary appearance was actually sold for twenty taels of silver, equivalent to 14,000 yuan today.

And this vase would not cost more than one hundred yuan on Taobao nowadays.

Ye Wuwei started thinking: If he could make better porcelain, wouldn’t he make a fortune?

However, Ye Wuwei immediately gave up this idea.

Not to mention that he didn't know how to make porcelain, even if he did, he couldn't make a fortune because he had no power or influence.

For example, the coke plant in Anping County. Although Ye Wuwei did not participate in its operation, he understood that the economic benefits created were definitely a huge fortune.

But all the money earned belonged to Qi Wushuang and Qi Yushen, and Ye Wuwei only received an annual salary of 800 taels of silver.

Therefore, Ye Wuwei could only move up step by step, and only consider making big money when he has power and influence one day.

After leaving Ji Prefecture, Ye Wuwei traveled for another eleven days before he saw the gate of Chamdo.

The grandeur of the Changdu city gate was somewhat beyond Ye Wuwei's expectations. The wall was about twelve meters high, twelve to fourteen meters wide at the top, and fifteen to eighteen meters wide at the bottom. Its outline was a closed rectangle, very similar to the Xi'an city wall.

Looking at the three big characters "Andingmen" on the city gate, Ye Wuwei sighed: I thought I had returned to the modern era.

Ye Wuwei took out the pass issued by Anping County [Note 1] and entered Qamdo.

The main street of Chamdo is so wide that four horse-drawn carriages can run side by side at the same time.

There are shops on both sides of the street, lined up in rows.

Although Chamdo is not as prosperous as the Chang'an Avenue and Kaifeng Prefecture that we saw on TV before, it is also bustling with people coming and going, and it seems like it is not in the same dynasty as Anping County.

What surprised Ye Wuwei the most was that there were women walking around everywhere on the street, and some women dressed like aristocrats were also walking around with their maids.

It seems that the separation between men and women in the Qi Dynasty was not very strict.

Ye Wuwei asked about the location of Prince Qi's Mansion and walked towards it on horseback.

When Ye Wuwei was still some distance away from Prince Qi's Mansion, he was stopped by a guard with a sword:

"Sir, Princess Qionghua invites you."

Ye Wuwei looked in the direction the sword-wielding guard pointed. There was a luxurious carriage parked there with its windows open. Inside was a woman dressed extremely luxuriously.

Ye Wuwei found it amusing: What kind of plot is this? He just arrived in Qamdo and met the princess.

Do you want to rob a man in the street?

Although Ye Wuwei is not a person who cares about appearance, he also knows that the appearance of his current body is still very good.

In the past, in modern times, when he went out to relax with his comrades, there were always women who chatted with him.

He looks even more handsome now than he did in modern times, so it's not surprising that someone is attracted to him.

Ye Wuwei led the horse towards the carriage.

As they got closer, Ye Wuwei could see Princess Qionghua's appearance clearly.

Although Princess Qionghua was called Qionghua, her appearance was really average. Her eyes were not big enough or bright enough, and her nose was not straight enough.

Ye Wuwei bowed to Princess Qionghua and asked, "I wonder what the princess wants to see you about?"

"What's your name? Why have I never seen you before?"

The cloak Ye Wuwei was wearing was bought at a clothing store in Ji Mansion to protect himself from the wind and snow. Although it was only made of medium-quality mink fur, it was not cheap.

"My name is Ye Wuwei. I just arrived in Qamdo. It's not surprising that the princess hasn't seen me before."

"Whose son are you?"

"I am a subordinate of Prince Qi. I came to Chamdo on Prince Qi's orders. I must report to Prince Qi's mansion."

Hearing that Ye Wuwei was Qi Wushuang's man, Princess Qionghua was stunned for a moment: "Are you Uncle Wang's subordinate?"

"Yes."

Princess Qionghua closed the window with a swish and ordered the carriage to move forward.

After Princess Qionghua's carriage had traveled for some distance, Ye Wuwei continued on his way to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Ye Wuwei noticed that there was a tail following him. He guessed that it was probably Princess Qionghua's guard and pretended not to know.

When he arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, even though Ye Wuwei had seen many magnificent buildings in modern times, he was still slightly shocked by its grandeur.

The gate of Prince Qi's Mansion is tall and wide, the eaves are high, the brackets are huge, the tiles are blue-black glazed, and there are owl-beak-shaped decorations on both ends of the roof.

Looking inside from the gate, it is deep and wide, neat and orderly, and it is obvious that it covers a large area.

Ye Wuwei took out the guard badge Qi Cheng had given him and handed it to the soldier guarding the gate: "My name is Ye Wuwei, looking for Qi Cheng."

Seeing Ye Wuwei calling Qi Cheng's name directly, the soldier did not dare to be careless. He took the guard's badge and went in to report.

After a while, Qi Cheng came out.

After not seeing each other for two years, Qi Cheng didn't change much, but when Qi Cheng saw Ye Wuwei, he was stunned.

Qi Cheng stared at Ye Wuwei for a long time before asking, "Are you Ye Wuwei?"

Ye Wuwei smiled and said, "It's only been two years since we last met, and Brother Qi doesn't recognize me?"

After greeting Qi Cheng, Ye Wuwei realized that the person following him had secretly left.

It seems that Princess Qionghua just wanted to confirm whether he was Qi Wushuang's subordinate. Now that it is confirmed that he is, I think she will not do the act of "forcibly seizing a man" against him.

I didn't expect Qi Wushuang's deterrent power to be so great that even a princess didn't dare to attack Qi Wushuang's subordinates.

Ye Wuwei spoke, and Qi Chengcai was certain that the person in front of him was Ye Wuwei.

"You've changed so much. If you hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have recognized you if we had met on the street."

"Before, I was malnourished and my body didn't grow properly. In the past two years, I've been eating well, sleeping well, and exercising regularly, so I've naturally grown taller and stronger."

"Your hair has grown back."

Although two years was not enough for Ye Wuwei's hair to grow as long as Qi Cheng and the others, he still tied it into a high ponytail on top of his head.

"That's right. If my hair doesn't grow in two years, I'll really be bald."

As he spoke, Qi Cheng took Ye Wuwei into the mansion.

The soldier guarding the gate saw how polite Qi Cheng was to Ye Wuwei and secretly remembered Ye Wuwei.
