Chapter forty-fifth: Road Dangerous Red Ticket)

Early the next morning, Lu Qi took Xiaoyun and the messengers to the outside of Wanshengtang. Two large empty cars were parked outside, with more than 600 medicinal bags next to the car. After the old man appeared, he told the medicinal materials that were not sealed and asked Lu Qi to verify it himself, saying that he would not be responsible or return the goods after the transaction. It was thought that the old man was scared by Lu Qi and was disclaimed.

Lu Qi didn't expect that the old man would do this, so he had to let Xiaoyun test it. Xiaoyun rested all night and was energetic and immediately started to work on the drug test. During the drug test, the old man came out to check it out from time to time and was very surprised by Xiaoyun's ability to recognize medicine. Later, when Xiaoyun was hesitant, the old man smiled and gave advice. Xiaoyun was extremely happy with a master who understood the puzzle. One quarter of the test had passed. Lu Qi refused to test it. He couldn't wait. He had to return to Wangjiang Castle before dark.

When loading the car and leaving, Lu Qi solemnly apologized to the old man, asked the old man that his name was Wang Fuquan, and handed over 2,100 taels of medicinal materials. The silver that Lu Qi robbed from Chen Hu was 1,383 taels, and also brought Sanyuan County to buy a lot of medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials are light goods, which are loaded on two four-meter-long large trucks up to three meters high, like two moving big houses. Each car is easily pulled by two horses. Xiaoyun became a temporary coachman to control the head car, and the rear car was tied directly to the rear of the car with a rope, and left Sanyuan County under the escort of eleven knights.

Because the car was light and the people were in a hurry, two cars left Sanyuan County and entered a trot state. Fortunately, the avenue was flat and the car was not reversed. Xiaoyun was very excited when driving for the first time. Her face was sick and thin, and she was full of joy because of her joy.

Lu Qi was in a much better mood, and he was very happy to be able to buy medicinal materials smoothly. If he had no county magistrate, he had basically no hope of buying trauma medicine. The most profitable thing in the city was trauma medicine. Trauma medicine was very expensive, but few people thought it was expensive, and it was often more than ten times the profit. The commonly used wind-cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, etc. were average. These two cars of medicine can earn at least 1,500 taels after returning, because the medicine price in Shida County is very high, mainly because the transportation and maintenance costs are large.

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly a sudden sound of horse hooves came from behind. Lu Qi's heart tightened and he thought that he would not meet the robbers so soon. When he waved his hand, ten commanders immediately took the bow and arrows and were ready to face the battle.

Lu Qi turned his horse's head and looked back. He looked at dozens of horses running towards him. When he saw that they were all official troops, he was surprised that the official troops would appear, could it be that they just met on the road?

Soon dozens of cavalry and officers arrived, and they all raised their bows and arrows to aim at Lu Qi and others. When the two sides confronted each other, Lu Qi was obviously at a disadvantage. Lu Qi drove his horse forward ten meters and looked at a red-faced middle-aged man in the middle of the official army. The middle-aged man, like his official clothes, was also a county lieutenant.

"I am the lieutenant of the Shida County Guardian Army. Why did that lord face his bows and arrows?" Lu Qi asked loudly.

The middle-aged man with red face looked at Lu Qi and said in a deep voice: "You are the Shida County Magistrate, why did you come to Sanyuan County? You told Wanshengtang that he was here for Sanyuan official business, why didn't you meet in the county government? Instead, he bought a large number of banned medicines and hurriedly left the city."

Faced with a series of interrogations, Lu Qi said calmly: "This lord is the lieutenant of Zhiguo in Xinghua Army. He returned to his hometown to visit relatives and was temporarily appointed as the chief lieutenant of the Guardian Army to suppress bandits. I came to Sanyuan County because the Sanyuan County was under the jurisdiction of Taiping, and the bandits in Shida County were rampant, so the official duties of coming to Sanyuan County were to learn good strategies for suppressing bandits, so there was no need to see him. In addition, I would carry out large-scale bandit suppression in the near future. There would naturally be wounded soldiers to suppress bandits, so I bought some medicine and went back to spare in the army."

The middle-aged man with red face was stunned. If the other party was a lieutenant in the army, he was of several levels higher than his grade. Although he was more important than real and less false, because of the chaos, local officials were unwilling to easily punish the figures in the army. He, the county lieutenant, chased him not to verify Lu Qi's identity, but to pursue him with malicious intentions for more than 2,000 taels of medicinal materials.

The middle-aged man with red face thought anxiously and changed into a friendly face. He drove his horse out of the line and bowed his mouth and said, "It turns out that you are the lieutenant of the Zhiguo School, and the subordinates are disrespectful."

When Lu Qi saw it, he felt relieved. He understood that the other party was chasing him and was facing each other with a fierce attitude. He probably had malice. Now he smiled at him and gave up his malice.

He guessed correctly, because Lu Qi showed that he was a military figure, and the reason for coming to Sanyuan County was sufficient, the middle-aged man dared not kill anyone to silence people to seize wealth. He was afraid that Lu Qi's people would escape, and that his officers and soldiers were not rude and killed the lieutenant-level figure in the army. That would be a huge disaster. A county lieutenant would not be responsible for this disaster.

The two sides made a few false sentences to communicate their names and returned on the surface of friendship. The county lieutenant who chased him was the Zuo County lieutenant of Sanyuan County, named Pang Long. This man was very good at ease and was greedy. If Lu Qi had not directly reported that he was a lieutenant in the army today, Pang Long would have been accused of being a bandit and ordered to be shot. Even if Lu Qi escaped, he would have nowhere to seek justice, because he came to Sanyuan County in private affairs.

As soon as the county magistrate Pang Long led his troops away, Lu Qi silently asked Xiaoyun to drive quickly, and ran out of Sanyuan County in one breath before he was relieved. Then, he returned to Shitai County without any obstacles and encountered bandits, but he did not encounter a large number of rioters. He returned to Wangjiang Fort smoothly. This smoothness made Lu Qi feel strange, but it was a good thing to come back smoothly and he didn't care.

In the backyard of the pharmacy, Lu Qi gave each messenger thirty taels, ten taels more than promised. After he distributed the money, he sincerely said, "Everyone, I have worked hard these two days. I have something bad to tell you now. The county may not use me as the county lieutenant of the guards anymore, and I may not be able to work with you in the future."

The messengers were surprised. They were just happy to get thirty taels of silver. The messenger Du Meng said anxiously: "Sir, why don't the county appoint you?"

Lu Qi said in harmony: "The reason is very simple. Yesterday you also saw the Lei County Magistrate and Song County Magistrate. With the mighty Lei County Magistrate in the county, I will have no use for me. There are few things but noble things, and there are many people but competing for food. This is very normal."

Ten messengers looked at each other, all looking disappointed. Lu Qi smiled and said, "Everyone, there are many ways of life, and I am friends with you. If I have the opportunity to stand out in the future, I will not forget you."

Du Meng said sincerely: "Sir, you are the most capable person you have ever met. Even if you are not a county magistrate, Du Meng is willing to respect you as an adult. As long as you have something to say, Du Meng will obey orders at any time."

Lu Qi nodded in emotion, and the messenger Wang Dao suddenly said excitedly: "Sir, I, Wang Dao, are the same. When I will use Wang Dao in the future, Wang Dao will be willing to follow any dangerous things."

Lu Qi looked at Director Wang in emotion and nodded. He was a short and thin young man. Although he was not good at appearance, he knew the most ambitious. He was the most suitable person to be a horse scattering player. He also studied the knowledge of horse scattering player very carefully.

"Sir, I am willing to obey your orders at any time." Leng Rong, who had a black face and a burly figure, also spoke. He was the most powerful in infantry warfare among the commanders.

The other seven looked at each other and dared not promise to make a promise. They were all men who had a big family to raise, so they would dare to say whatever they could do at any time.

"Sir, we all want to serve, but we have family members to support us." The messenger Kong Wu said embarrassedly.

Lu Qi smiled kindly and said seriously: "Everyone doesn't have to express his opinion on following me. I am an adult who works to support my family, and you are even more so. In the future, I will not forget you. As long as you have the opportunity to get rich, I will notify you. If you are willing, you can do your job with me, and if you don't want to refuse. If you follow me to make money, I can only say that something has happened to you, and then I will do my best to take care of your family."

All ten messengers nodded. Lu Qi's drug dealings made them very rewarding. Of course, I hope that Lu Qi will continue to make a fortune in the future. A small military gang led by Lu Qi was quietly formed.

After sending away ten messengers, two trucks of medicinal materials were hired to move into the back house under the arrangement of Xin Yuner. Xiaoyun was extremely tired from sleeping in the house as soon as she came back.

Lu Qi walked to Xin Yuner lightly and faced the medicinal materials bags all over the house. Xin Yuner turned her head and looked at him, and smiled sweetly, "Young Master, so many medicinal materials are enough to sell for more than half a year."

"Yun'er, call me Qilang from now on." Lu Qi said in harmony.
