When Zhang Chi sobered up, it was already sunset the next day. Santong was impatient when she waited aside. Seeing Zhang Chi wake up, she immediately said, "Brother Zhang, why have you slept for a day and a night? Get up quickly and let's go out of the city."

"Where are the two monks Daoyuan and Daoxuan?" Zhang Chi's head was still a little dizzy. He opened his eyes and saw Santong alone, and asked.

"They are out of the city." Santong said: "The horse team of the Dachang Chamber of Commerce will set off tomorrow dawn. All the accompanying people will be stationed outside the city today, and they will set off after tonight."

"Then why didn't you wake me up?" Zhang Chi asked.

Santong scratched her hair and said, "I saw that you were weak. You have been walking these days and walking on mountain roads. I guess you were tired early, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer. Besides, there is still time. We just need to go to the station tonight. I have already asked about the path. The horse team is stationed not far from the south of the city. There is only one big road, which is not difficult to find."

Zhang Chi was very moved after hearing this. When did he walk so many roads before traveling through time? Besides, it was all mountain roads these days. How could Zhang Chi stand it? His legs were already like he was filled with lead. I drank wine yesterday and slept for a day and a night at the Dachang Chamber of Commerce.

"Good brother, let's go too." Zhang Chi said, patting Santong on the shoulder.

The south of the city was not far away, and the two arrived at the gate of the south city in a short while. Just as they were about to leave the city, an old man dressed in a Taoist priest came forward and stopped the two and said, "The two of them are in a hurry and must be traveling far away. It is better to dig a divination to measure good or bad luck, how about it?"

Liar! Zhang Chi first thought of this. He had seen many liars like this before he traveled through time, so he pulled Santong, didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the city gate.

The Taoist priest hurriedly ran forward for two steps, grabbed Zhang Chi and said, "Don't go, count the hexagram, seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and don't have money if you don't work."

The tricks Zhang Chi saw before traveling through time were more than a hundred times better than his, but they were not easy to pass on. He had no choice but to ask Santong, "Do you have money?"

Santong really had no money, so she shook her head stupidly and said, "No."

Zhang Chi spread his hands to the old Taoist priest and said, "You have seen it too, we really have no money."

After saying that, he walked straight to the city gate, but the Taoist priest grabbed Zhang Chi's sleeve again and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, and it doesn't matter if you don't have money."

This was the first time Zhang Chi saw a Taoist priest who was silly and had to tell fortunes for the monk, so he said, "I really have no money."

"I really don't want money." The Taoist priest persevered.

"It's okay to test it again." Seeing that Santong didn't have money, she showed her character of loving a small bargain again. However, when he saw Zhang Chi glaring at him fiercely, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he kept silent and stopped talking. However, what Zhang Chi said next made him sweat.

"Since that's the case, it's okay to test it." Zhang Chi glared at Santong and said to the Taoist priest with a smile.

The Taoist priest took Zhang Chi to the side of the road, and there was a stall with the words "Predicting good fortune". The Taoist priest spread the paper and handed the pen to Zhang Chi, saying, "Please write a word."

Zhang Chi saw that it was fortune-telling. Although he was familiar with ancient prose, poetry and books, he did not know how to use a brush. He wrote Zhang Chi's character "Chi" casually. The word "Chi" was also written in a crooked manner. The old Taoist priest looked at it for a while, and smiled and twisted his beard and said to Zhang Chi: "The word "Chi" means traveling far away. It is true that you both go out of the city."

"Chi is a horse." He took apart the word "Chi", which was indeed "horse" and the two words "a". "The two of you must be related to horses in this trip. What you encounter on the way and the people you see are all related to horses. But..."

When the Taoist priest said this, he suddenly smiled and stopped talking.

Zhang Chi was secretly funny, nonsense, did he have to walk to travel far, so he naturally had to ride a horse and ride a car, and he couldn't do without a horse. However, Zhang Chi continued to ask, "But how?"

"But the word "chi" is too ugly, especially the character "horse" on the left, which is lifeless and dead. This horse is not long, so it means bumpy. The trip of the two may not be smooth."

When Zhang Chi heard him say "it may not be smooth", he thought that he would definitely say that he would lose money in the future to avoid disaster. He had seen many tricks before traveling through time, but he didn't expect that the ancients were so smart.

Thinking of this this way, Zhang Chi felt that the Taoist priest in front of him was a charlatan.

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest followed and said, "It's true that you are quite dangerous. However, if you are willing to lose money, I can keep you safe."

Zhang Chi looked like this indeed, and she was about to leave, but the old Taoist priest grabbed him and said with a smile: "However, given the generous voice of the young master chanting yesterday, 'Hu and Han are different from the different winds, the sky is separated from the earth, and the west mother east', I know that the young master's heart is hanging all over the world, so I will give the young master this dangerous method to solve for free."

When Zhang Chi heard the Taoist priest call him a young master, he was full of doubts. Why did he call him a young master now? Then he heard the old Taoist priest say the sentence he chanted at the banquet yesterday, and he became even more doubts.

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he wrote four words on the paper: Majestic and majestic.

"Is this the method of cracking?" Zhang Chi and Zhang Chi pointed at these four words, which was very strange.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest laughed and shook his head and said, "The Buddha said, it's not to be said."

The Buddha said, "You can't say it, you'll be wrong when you say it." It was what Zhang Chi said at the banquet yesterday, but Zhang Chi was very shocked. He looked at the old Taoist priest carefully several times. There were not many people Zhang Chi had seen since time traveling, and he had no impression of this old Taoist priest at all.

Some people have very special temperaments, just like this old Taoist priest. Zhang Chi believes that even among millions of people, he can immediately distinguish the unique charlatan temperament of this old Taoist priest, so Zhang Chi is very sure that they have never seen it before.

The old Taoist priest laughed when he saw Zhang Chi's confusion, pointed to the four words written on the paper and said: "Young Master, don't forget it. In times of crisis, you will see your own use."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest began to pack up his props, looking like he was about to go home.

"It's still early, why did you start packing your things?" Zhang Chi asked.

"I only measure one divination every day." The old Taoist priest smiled mysteriously and suddenly said, "But today I can give you another divination for free."

"It's still the word "Chi". If you want to test your marriage, it means "tracking a horse and looking for fragrance, hehe," the old Taoist priest suddenly smiled very much: "It's spring now, looking for fragrance in spring, and flowers bloom, and flowers are worth picking, and branches can be planted. Although the young master's trip was not smooth, he was lucky in this love luck, which made me admire him very much."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest stopped talking, packed up his tools, and left with a laugh.

When Santong saw the Taoist priest walking away, she said to Zhang Chi with a tsk voice: "What he said seems to be right. Before they left the city today, Miss Wang had come to see you. I see that Miss Wang looks at you very unusually."

Zhang Chi glared at Santong again and said, "The words of the witchcraft warlock may not be credible."

However, after leaving the city, Zhang Chi was still thinking about what the Taoist said, "The sing is a horse", and he really saw many horses, all of which were strong war horses, thousands.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has few horses, so it has always suffered a great loss against the northern Hu horse cavalry. Now, there are so many more war horses in the south of Huainan City? Even Santong opened her mouth wide in surprise.

It was not until he saw Manager Li in the distance that Zhang Chi realized that this was the thing transported by Dachang Chamber of Commerce.

Zhang Chi did not expect that the Dachang Chamber of Commerce would have such great financial resources, and he did not expect that the thousands of war horses transported to Jiankang this time were actually thousands of war horses. The southern horses were expensive, and these thousands of war horses must be valuable.

It was getting late, and the horse team was doing the final dispatch, and the sound of war horses neighing one after another. Zhang Chi looked at the dozens of carriages beside the shopkeeper Li in the distance, thinking in his heart that it must be for the people accompanying him to ride. He walked towards the carriage and said to himself: "Others say that horses have three-point dragon energy. It seems that the carriage is like flowing water and horses are like dragons."

…

…

"Two, you can't go there." Zhang Chi and Santong were walking. When they heard someone talking, they turned around and found that a big man had stood behind him at some point.

"Why can't you go?" Santong asked carelessly.

"These war horses all come from the extreme north, and are hard to tame. I am afraid that the horses will be shocked and hurt the two of them." The big man replied calmly.

"What do you call this brother?" Zhang Chi asked when he saw that the man was so majestic and tall, and seemed to look more like a military khan.

"My name is Du Ximing, and I am a guard commander in the Dachang Chamber of Commerce's horse team. The two must be accompanying people. How can they join the team at sunset? Why don't I take them to a place where everyone rests, how about?"

After hearing this, the two asked Du Ximing to lead the way and follow him all the way through the horse team. Du Ximing said while walking: "This chamber of commerce has transported many horses, in order to prevent horses from trampling on caravans, the lady ordered the followers and light objects such as leather to stay next to them."

The caravan was stationed not far away, less than half a mile away. Zhang Chi had seen the camps in the horses in the front team. At this time, he heard the horses neighing and asked, "Is there no horse source in the south? Why do you need to transport horses from the extreme north to cross the river?"

Although Santong was originally a bandit, there were not many opportunities to rob. However, despite this, after all, after staying at the Hu people's border for several years, he was used to seeing Hu people and Hu horses. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "It turns out that there are things that Brother Zhang doesn't understand. It's really strange. Although there are horse sources in the south, most of the horses in the south are used for labor and can be used for transportation. If he goes to the battlefield, he can't compare to the northern Hu horses. Hu horses are tall. The most important thing is that they are not shocked or deceitful on the battlefield, they are extremely brave and have strong endurance. They travel thousands of miles a day, and the rushing on the battlefield is hundreds of times stronger than the southern short horses."

Santong is so bragging about her. Now she finally encounters something that Zhang Chi doesn't understand but he understands, so she naturally talks endlessly.

Zhang Chi knew that China had achieved unification in the era of cold weapons and chaos, but never saw that it could eventually achieve unification from south to north. If we find out the reason, the north was mountainous, so it was full of strong passes like iron. If one man was the pass, tens of thousands of men would not open. On the contrary, the south was mostly plains, and there was no danger to defend for thousands of miles. This is of course an important reason, and another important reason is that the people in the north were strong and the war horses were strong. In the era of cold weapons, what could the plains resist the large-scale cavalry's array rush?

"I didn't expect that the Dachang Chamber of Commerce could transport so many war horses from the northern Hu people on a large scale." A small Chamber of Commerce had such great capabilities, which was indeed beyond Zhang Chi's expectations.

"As the saying goes, money can reach the sky. The Dachang Chamber of Commerce was originally a gentry in the dynasty. In order to open up the intermediate joints, Lord Shangshu Pushe spent more than one million yuan. After three years of operation, this was just the first time to transport horses."

When Zhang Chi saw that when he mentioned the Minister of Shangshu Pushe, Du Xi's famous words seemed to be full of dissatisfaction, he followed his tone and said, "Terminal Du, who has a very extraordinary appearance, must be an extraordinary person, but he is a guard commander, and he is inevitably a little embarrassed."

"I was originally a refugee from the north, but I had a bad background and it was difficult to get the opportunity to rise." Du Ximing seemed a little angry in his words.

"This may not be true," said Zhang Chi. "If you transport the war horses this time, if you arrive in Jiankang, the war horses will make a lot of profits. Commander Du is responsible for guarding and will definitely be highly used."

"It's okay to ship it, but I'm afraid it's-" Du Ximing suddenly lowered his voice, "I'm afraid it's difficult to ship it."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived at the front team. Zhang Chi was still recalling what Du Ximing just said, it was difficult to transport it, and seemed to have some clues. Santong saw that there were many people in the caravan at this time, and asked Du Ximing: "General Du, why do this caravan have so many people?"

"The trade between the north and the south is quite profitable, so there are naturally many people who come and go. The important towns in Huainan border naturally become places for goods to be distributed. Unfortunately, it is not stable today, and bandits are rife. The Dachang Chamber of Commerce has been in contact for a long time, and there are elite soldiers to guard it. It is not much to join the caravan, but the safe journey is guaranteed. That's why these many merchants join the caravan."

While Santong was still feeling that the Dachang Chamber of Commerce was rich and huge in scale, Miss Wang had already seen Zhang Chi and walked up with a smile. Du Ximing quickly bowed and called "Miss", with an admiration. Zhang Chi saw that these big and thick men looked very respectful to a delicate lady, and she didn't feel a little funny, but she also called Miss like Du Ximing's salute.

Zhang Chi was wearing a monk's robe and did not understand the etiquette of the ancients, so he was very strange to imitate the ancients' rituals. Miss Wang couldn't bear to smile and replied to Zhang Chi, "Young Master drank a lot yesterday, and his poems and wine were unparalleled, and his reputation was fascinating. How dare I accept this gift?"

Santong pulled Zhang Chi's sleeve, pulled Zhang Chi aside, and whispered to Zhang Chi, "I said that Miss Wang must have liked you, you don't believe it. The fortune teller at the city gate today is also the same. He said that our trip is related to horses. Now we have encountered so many Hu horses. The Wang family seems to have a lot of financial resources. If Miss Wang really likes you, you have wealth and honor, don't forget my brother."

Zhang Chi glared at Santong again, but Santong was used to being glared, so she was not afraid. Instead, she smiled and showed her big teeth.

At this time, Zhang Chi heard Miss Wang say to Du Ximing on the side: "There is not enough staff on the caravan. Please send an order to divide the guards into two teams, one team of guarding horses and another team of guarding pedestrians."

Du Ximing said: "Miss, there are only 500 guards on this trip, but there are more than 3,000 strong war horses. If you draw the guards, if you really encounter thieves who rob the horse, these many war horses will be unsafe."

Miss Wang nodded, but seemed to have not taken Du Ximing seriously at all. She just smiled faintly and said mysteriously: "General Du, you should know that Sai Weng lost his horse."

Du Ximing has always admired the lady for her predictions. Now that she sees her like this, she must have been confident and didn't say much. She gave a gift and then transferred to the back team to transfer personnel.

Of course, Zhang Chi knew that the horse was lost, and the next sentence was a blessing. However, Zhang Chi was really surprised. Why did Miss Wang spend a lot of money to buy a war horse from the north? But now she has just been preparing to set off in Huainan and has already made plans to lose her horse. What kind of deal is this? Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel confused.

Santong suddenly remembered the Taoist priest at the gate of the city and was scared. Because Santong had long admired the Taoist priest and everything was right, so he asked Miss Wang carefully, "Miss Wang, is there any danger on the road?"

Miss Wang smiled faintly but didn't say anything.
