The Ingenious One 云襄传 Episode 10

Since the deeds were sold in the circulation market, the price of silk has dropped steadily. Su Mingyu has no servants to accompany him, so he naturally has to wash the clothes by himself, but as soon as he hangs up the clothes, he is told by Shu Yanan to pack up and set off in an hour. Seeing this, Jin Biao couldn't help laughing, and comforted him that his man was not fussy about trifles, that he could still wear his clothes if they were rotten.

Su Huairou invited Ke Menglan into the mansion, and asked how much she thought the 80,000-jin raw silk contract could lower the raw silk in Nandu. Ke Menglan believes that spot stock can make merchants more at ease, so the market price of raw silk will continue to fall, and it is very likely to drop to four taels of silver per catty. Because of Ke Menglan's proficiency in business, Su Huairou changed her mind a bit and gave her a tinge of appreciation. She also asked her to pay attention to Yunxiang's movements and report immediately if there was anything wrong.

Qi Tianfeng is sure to win, he began to plan to change the old house, and buy new clothes for the brothers, just around the corner. On the other hand, during the three-day trip of the Su family caravan, they were repeatedly in danger. First, spies were placed in the gang, and then they were harassed by night raids. They were exhausted and besieged on all sides. Because the Su family promised to return the raw silk to the merchant within fifteen days, otherwise they would lose their position as the president of the Southern Metropolis Chamber of Commerce, and even lose their entire fortune.

But because of the constant troubles on the way back to the city, Su Mingyu became more and more uneasy. Shu Yanan felt that this was not a long-term solution, so he asked everyone to stick to it for another night, and found a nearby abandoned posthouse to rest the next day. Yun Xiang asked Kang Qiao about the situation of the caravan every day, and always felt that something was wrong. Kang Qiao said that since he was holding a fishing rod, why should he worry about the safety of the bait?

Qi Tianfeng heard that the caravan was heading towards the post house, so he was confidently preparing for a game of catch. Shu Yanan was well aware of the disadvantages of posthouses, so he informed the leaders of the escort teams about their deployment plans. Considering that time was tight and bandits were strong, it would be harmful if it continued to be consumed, so instead of blindly defending, it was better to take the initiative to attack, and decided to divide the troops into two groups to transfer the enemy strength.

Shu Yanan arranged for half of the guards to exchange clothes with the escorts. It seemed that they were escorted in separate teams, but in fact, one team was full of guards and the other was full of escorts. Escort Zheng was in charge of the guard's team, and joined forces with other people, Shu Yanan and Jin Biao each led a team, only Su Mingyu stayed in the post to take care of Shengsi.

Although it was a dangerous move every step of the way, there was still a glimmer of life. Shu Yanan, Jin Biao and others were ambushed and fought bloody. On the other side, the servants who were seriously injured fled back to the post house, and some even couldn't stand the torture, so they directly revealed the place where the raw silk was stored. When the last wave of surviving robbers entered the posthouse, Su Mingyu bravely killed the enemy with a knife for the first time, with blood splattered all over his eyes, and his emotions collapsed for a while.

At the critical moment, Shu Yanan and Jin Biao rushed to see the corpses lying all over the posthouse, but fortunately Su Mingyu was fine for the time being. Jin Biao saw that Su Mingyu was almost scared to death, so he sprayed white wine on his face until Su Mingyu woke up leisurely, and took the initiative to talk about his murder, feeling very uncomfortable.

Jin Biao comforted Su Mingyu to take a good rest first, and then bandaged and healed some wounded. Although they fought endlessly during the day, there were still thieves ramming the door at night. Most of the caravan had been killed and injured, and there was no chance of winning. Seeing that the gate was about to be knocked open, Shu Yanan and Jin Biao couldn't sit still any longer, and stood in the courtyard with the remaining servants, ready to fight. Su Mingyu listened to the commotion from outside, her eyes gradually became clear and firm, and she walked to the yard with her long knife tightly, determined to fight the bandits.

Unexpectedly, Qi Tianfeng's men, Xie Guang, had already dug a tunnel to the place where the raw silk was stored. When everyone was unprepared, a fire ignited the raw silk. It was too late for Shu Yanan and others to react. The fire was raging all over the sky, and tens of thousands of raw silk were destroyed. Su Mingyu collapsed to the ground in despair.
