Winter nights always came suddenly, and it was incomparably long. The snow quietly came under the cover of darkness. The snow came in full force, but it covered the land and froze the river. As the saying goes, three feet of ice is not a day's worth of cold. However, this was a once in a hundred year event, and in a single day's time, the torrential river had frozen. Of course, this snow was not completely useless. The heavy snow had frozen the Yellow River, making it more convenient for the people to travel on both sides of the Yellow River.

However, the travelling merchants were not happy for long because the heavy snow had frozen the Yellow River and had no intention of stopping. Thus, they continued to travel on their own. Most of them were blocked by the snow on the road to business and government. Not only were their business difficult, they even wanted to return home to spend the next few years in the snow. This was wishful thinking, and everyone was complaining endlessly for the past few days.

Since the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, Qi Bo and other places have been famous cities in the country. Moreover, the people of Qi Lu have benefited from the fish and salt, trade and trade have spread throughout the world, and the merchants often passed down the way of doing business from generation to generation. Before the Zhejiang, Jinshan and Ningbo Sect in ancient China, Lu has the most business people, and the most business travel is the busiest. In this golden age, the Tang Dynasty gave the Lu merchants a chance to fight.

A voice broke the silence, and everyone looked towards the speaker. It was the Ma Clan Brother who was sitting at the very back. He had a grave expression on his face, with a square face that seemed to have some sort of power to it, a head wrapped in a green cloth, a pair of thick eyebrows, big and bright eyes, a broad brow, and a pure and honest face. However, this person's appearance and faintly noble aura did not match with the crowd present. His figure and clothes were no different from those of the crowd present. He saw that everyone was looking at him, but he did not change his expression, nor did he do anything. He only quietly looked at Master Zhang Zhuang, his eyes shining, reflecting the flickering flames.

"What's wrong?" Master Zhang Zhan only glanced at that person before lowering his head to think about his own matters. He didn't seem to see this matter as something worth the trouble he had gone through. As soon as his voice fell, he heard the man continue, "Master Zhan, if the snow continued like this, then I'm afraid the ice on the road tomorrow will become thicker, and the horses will become more difficult to walk on. My brothers originally wanted to rest for a day tomorrow, and wait until the next day before deciding based on the actual situation. "Why do I have to listen to your meaning? I want to continue my journey tomorrow."

Hearing his words, Zhang Zhuang raised his head, only then did he raise his head, his brows were still tightly knitted, his eyes were sharp, staring straight at that person, he indifferently said: "What, Little Zhu, do you have any objections?" Zhang Zhuang Master said these words in a low voice, his speech very slow, but each word was sonorous, like a small drum beating in the hearts of everyone present. The expression of the young man called Xiao Zhu couldn't help but change, and he thought to himself: So it turns out that this grandpa Zhan also knew some martial arts, no wonder he had a faint trace of Qi. He was, after all, the lord of the field, someone who had long been in the martial arts world. He was much more knowledgeable than these Ma Clan brothers. Little Zhu chuckled and then slowly said: "Old Battlefield, I don't have any objections, I'm just thinking for the brothers' sake. It's been snowing non-stop for a few days, and the snow has already blocked our way to the capital. I think we should wait until the snow stops, even if it is just a little bit of snow, and then we can go on the road again. "Just now, all the brothers heard my words and were extremely grateful. I think we should stop for now and wait for Snowy to show up so we can catch up day and night. This way, we might not miss our schedule."

When everyone heard this, they could not help but secretly nod, their gazes focused on Master Zhang Zhuang. After Zhang Zhuang heard these words, his face did not change, but his heart was filled with an indescribable panic. He also saw everyone looking at him with eyes full of expectation, clearly, they were all affected by these words. He had walked all his life and had experienced many storms. He knew that the thing he feared the most was that his brothers' hearts were in a mess. Right now, the brothers' minds were clearly in turmoil, and they didn't want to go any further, but this was exactly what he was most afraid of. Originally, he was worried that these goods would not arrive in the capital in time, but now, this Xiao Zhu was saying these words, further aggravating his anger. Zhang Zhan slapped the table, suddenly stood up, and said in a stern voice: "If you continue speaking like this, I will not cripple you."

Xiao Zhu is also a young man, upon hearing these words, he immediately stood up, stared at Zhang Zhuang and said coldly: "Master Zhan, you have helped us brothers out. We are very grateful, but just as you said, we are all going to war for the sake of the word 'money', this time we are going to fight for three times the amount of money, but did our employees really take three times the amount? You are clearly lying to everyone. "

Master Zhang Zhuang was so angry that he actually laughed, and laughed dryly twice, and said, "Oh, you said that you can't take three times as much, right? That's because I'm afraid that if you guys had money, you wouldn't need to worry so much about the rest of your journey. It's not easy for you to earn money, it's better to send the money home early so that you don't get eaten by the black holes on the way. "

Hearing that, Xiao Zhu sneered, then paused, and asked: "Also, we have all kinds of goods, but this time we are going to use ginger, could it be that the employer will pay us three times the price to transport the ginger to Luo Yang? Is that reasonable? "

When the crowd heard this, they could not help but secretly nod their heads, feeling that what Xiao Zhu said was indeed true. If one said that the price of ginger could be raised in winter, then it was understandable, but it would not increase the freight rate to three times or even more. These words woke everyone up. Originally, they were still very grateful for their master's consideration. However, Xiao Zhu's words caused everyone to be worried. "That's right, how could we get so much reward money?" It can't be that grandpa Zhan is lying to us.

He slapped the table and said angrily: "Zhu Tinyan Yan, you followed me for the first time and already there are so many complaints. How am I going to take you with me in the future? Scram, tomorrow, no, you scram now.

Zhu Tinyan was also burning with anger. He could only feel a surge of rage springing up from the bottom of his feet, an uncontrollable rage. Clenching his fists, he lifted the chopsticks on the table and forcefully threw them out. The speed of the two chopsticks was extremely fast. With the sound of the wind, they flew towards Master Zhang Zhuang. Everyone present was shocked, who would have thought that this little Zhu would actually have such a unique skill.

While everyone was still in a daze, Zhang Zhuang Ye threw out an item, blocking the two bamboo chopsticks that were flying over. With two muffled "Peng Peng" sounds, the two bamboo chopsticks that were flying over were broken into two pieces and dropped to the ground. Looking back, it was indeed Master Zhang's big smoke pot.
