Chapter 190 After Two Months of Traveling, I Became a Melon

The red goods were gone, the escort was dead, and the Green Snake God was gone, so everyone naturally set out again.

But except Jiang Feng, no one else noticed that the green snake mark that had just been printed on the corner of the clothes of the head escort Du had been torn off and disappeared inexplicably.

Except for such a thing that happened on the bank of the Yellow River, there were no accidents along the way. After all, although Jiang Feng's eight carts had a lot of goods, they were not as valuable as one or two pieces of jewelry, so they naturally would not attract the interest of the twelve constellations and other thieves.

But the escorts who escorted along the way were in a bad mood, and they were obviously a little sad. It was not until the goods were delivered to Jingzhou and Jiang Feng paid them three times the wages that they became happy again.

"Mr. Jiang is generous and kind, and his reputation is well-deserved!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. If you come to BJ for escort again, we will make sure to arrange everything for you!"

The young escorts left with many thanks, and then Jiang Feng handed the goods to the old housekeeper, who distributed them to his own shops for sale, earning a full five times the profit.

Sometimes, making money is so simple!

...

In the following days, Jiang Feng did not stay at home, but traveled to Hankou, visited friends in Yueyang, and met Murong Yong and his wife under the introduction of Chen Jing.

It's a pity that there are not many situations that allow him to eat melons and watch the fun. On the contrary, he has become a melon in the eyes of others. In just two months, he has not shown his martial arts, and the name of Yulang Jiang Feng has already resounded throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jiangnan area.

It is also fortunate that Jiang Feng now knows how to behave. Not only is his family rich, but he also has Yan Nantian standing behind him, otherwise he would become the public enemy of the younger generation of male heroes in the Jiangnan martial arts world.

Two months passed, and Jiang Feng waited from summer to autumn, but Yan Nantian didn't come back. Instead, he heard that he killed a blood eagle in Dengzhou and went south by boat. He killed the blood eagle's brother, the blood eagle, in southern Fujian, and then disappeared.

"I knew it..."

Jiang Feng has the memory of his original body, and remembers that he became sworn brothers with Yan Nantian three years ago.

But except for the first six months, Yan Nantian often moved around Yunhan, and then traveled all over the country. He didn't meet him very often, and often came to see him when he passed by Jingzhou.

This time, he went directly from Shandong to the sea and entered southern Fujian. He probably met Lu Zhongyuan on the way, and then went around half of southern China, chasing some villain to the Yangtze River, and he probably remembered him.

In this way, he felt that he was not suitable for Zhang Fengxi, which was understandable.

"Young Master."

Jiang Feng was thinking, and the old housekeeper Jiang Ping came to him. At this time, Jiang Feng had returned to Jingzhou.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Feng asked.

"It's time to settle the business with the Wu family in Shuzhong, and we have a batch of jewelry to send." Jiang Ping said.

Jiang Feng nodded, "Then send it."

"But no escort agency dares to take this jewelry worth 300,000 taels of silver." Jiang Ping said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Jiang Feng's eyes flashed.

"Because someone saw the Twelve Stars, who are notorious in the world, appear along the Yangtze River." Jiang Ping said.

"Huh?"

"Just last month, the Liu family in Xiangjiang was robbed of a convoy, 100,000 taels of snowflake silver and red goods worth 100,000 taels of silver were robbed. It is said that the Twelve Stars were the first, and all the escorts who protected the convoy died."

In recent years, it is the year when the Twelve Stars are most famous. The Twelve Stars appear and disappear, and their footprints are as far as Qinghai in the west, Ningbo in the east, Guangzhou in the south, and outside the Great Wall in the north.

I don't know where they get the news, but they can often accurately detect the escort team escorting the red goods, and then send the star stickers. It seems elegant, but it is actually a blatant robbery.

They only robbed the red goods, not the silver, and they were highly skilled in martial arts. Not only could they cooperate with most robbers and bandits, but most escort agencies were helpless against them.

Most importantly, they were unreasonable and had no intention of stopping when they saw the good. They were famous and were the mortal enemy of all escort agencies in the world.

The last time Jiang Feng went north to the capital, Yan Nantian mentioned the twelve constellations. It was said that he even spent a lot of time to track them down, but after two months of tracking, he didn't catch a single strand of wool, so he had to give up.

"So many escort agencies suspect that they are still in the Yunhan area and dare not accept this order?" Jiang Feng asked.

Jiang Ping nodded, "That's right."

Although the twelve constellations are unscrupulous, there are still rules. The martial arts world is the martial arts world. They only rob escort agencies and not merchants. In this way, it becomes a conflict of interest between merchants and escort agencies, and they only need to deal with the escort agencies.

Although the government in the ancient dragon world has a weak presence, it is still the orthodoxy of the world after all, and it still has a basic deterrent effect on martial artists. In addition, they will manage law-abiding merchants, but not the escort agencies, because the escort agencies are just doing this.

This is also the reason why Duan Hefei's 800,000 taels of silver were fine in his own hands twenty years later, but when it was handed over to the Golden Lion Escort Agency, it was in trouble. Otherwise, how many wealthy merchants' manors in the rivers and lakes could withstand the impact of the twelve constellations?

"But the shopkeeper sent by the Wu family was very anxious, because the Wu family's business encountered some changes, and they had already agreed to borrow money from the money house in Shuzhong, and they needed this batch of red goods for emergency." Jiang Ping said.

The business dealings between the Jiang family and the Wu family were negotiated by Jiang Feng's father. If he couldn't deliver this batch of red goods to Shuzhong on time, then the future business dealings would probably be cut off.

"No one will take it even if you pay more?" Jiang Feng asked.

"No one took it." Jiang Ping said, "Even Weiyuan Escort Agency used the excuse that their head escort Shen was escorting in the north at the moment, and this convoy was too big for them to take."

Jiang Feng laughed, "Three hundred thousand taels of silver is a big convoy?"

Jiang Ping smiled proudly, "At least they can't afford it."

Jiang Feng shook his head. Weiyuan Escort Agency was also a well-known escort agency in the world. It was not that they couldn't afford to pay the three hundred thousand taels of silver, but the risk of this convoy was too great and the cost-effectiveness was too low, so they didn't dare to take it.

Jiang Feng stroked his chin and thought, "What should we do?"

Next to him, Jiang Qin, who had been staying next to him, had a flickering look in his eyes. Seeing that Jiang Feng seemed to be interested, he hurried over and whispered, "Sir, how about we openly repair the plank road and secretly go to Chencang?"

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"You hired two escort agencies with great fanfare, one open and one secret, to deliver the convoy to Shuzhong." Jiang Qin said.

"This is just a common method used by the escort agency to protect the convoy. The twelve zodiac signs are famous thieves in the world. How could they not find out where the hidden convoy is?" Jiang Ping frowned and said.

"But what if the hidden convoy is also fake?"

Jiang Qin smiled, "If we hire a third escort agency and also use the hidden convoy, the twelve zodiac signs will surely guess that this convoy is real, right?"

"Then what?" Jiang Ping asked.

"Then the young master hasn't been to Shuzhong to keep in touch with the Wu family for a long time. Taking advantage of the cool autumn weather, it is also reasonable to go to Shu along the Yangtze River, right?" Jiang Qin said.

"Nonsense!" Jiang Ping was shocked and shouted, "You are such a great young master, and you actually want him to take risks yourself!"

Jiang Qin immediately lowered her head and said tremblingly, "I am also thinking about my family. In addition, the young master's martial arts are actually very powerful. As long as the twelve zodiac signs are divided into several groups, they may not be the young master's opponent."

Seeing Jiang Qin's performance, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh.
