Liao general Chu Ji collected Meng Shu's customs clearance fee, which was somewhat professional. Not only did he issue a customs clearance document, he told Meng Shu about the details of the activities of the independent official, but he also sent Liao soldiers to guard the caravan.

Since Shi Jingtang and Li Congke competed for the throne and cedeed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao people, the Khitans and the locals have lived together for more than 30 years and have lived together for more than 30 years. Most young Liao people have spoken Central Plains since childhood, and their lifestyles are similar to those of Central Plains. In Meng Shu's mind, the Liao army soldiers were all cruel and vicious guys, but several young people in the Liao army spoke Central Plains. During the march, as long as the leader was not present, they always joked and joked each other and fought, which was no different from the young people in the Black Eagle Army.

After walking nearly thirty miles, the Liao army guards left. The Liao army school had a great chat with Meng Shuyan. When they broke up, he said, "The horse thieves are all in front of them, so you must be careful."

After the Liao army's escort left, Meng Shu and Wu Erlang strengthened their defense and were safe and sound along the way. The caravans followed the contact information given by Hou Dayong and found the big merchants in Bazhou and Pingzhou. Since Liu San's death, these two big merchants lost contact with the Central Plains, and their business was forced to be interrupted, losing a large amount of profit. Although they sent people to the Central Plains to find new partners, there was no suitable candidate. Meng Shu and Wu Erlang took the initiative to find them and brought a lot of loans. They were really overjoyed and all of them warmly treated the caravan.

Meng Shu thought that it was not easy for the caravan to come, so he discussed with Wu Erlang and decided to go north and return to Liaozhou. The goods brought back by Meng Shu’s caravan from the south were higher and the higher the price of the caravan. The horses that were very expensive in the Central Plains became cheaper the more they went north, and there were also precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, which could be exchanged for more than a dozen brick tea.

After the two tasted the sweetness and led the caravan to Liaozhou, there was not much left. Meng Shu refused to sell the last goods, and left most of the caravan in Liaozhou. Together with Wu Erlang, he brought more than a dozen people to Anbian Mansion.

Meng Shu and Wu Erlang set out from Cangzhou and arrived at Anbian Mansion for more than two months. In recent years, merchants from the Central Plains rarely visited Anbian Mansion. The goods from the Central Plains came here after several transits. The prices were sold very high, and ordinary people could not afford them.

Meng Shu's goods were very popular in Anbian Mansion. Meng Shu gave some silk and tea to the guard general of Anbian Mansion. The guard general's wife was from Youzhou. After following her husband to Anbian Mansion, she had not seen the best silk for a long time. She dreamed of wearing a long silk skirt, so she couldn't let go of the silk after getting the silk. The guard general's wife reciprocates and took some of the best Changbai Mountain ginseng and gave it to Meng Shu.

Meng Shu and Wu Erlang were also amazed when they got ginseng. This was a rare top-class ginseng in the Central Plains. Meng Shu was careful and wandered around the Anbianfu market and saw that there were many ginseng in the Anbianfu market, including hundreds of years old ginseng. Meng Shu used two tea bricks to exchange for a ginseng and an important message. In the Changbai Mountain area, a small tribe of Sumo Moe was recently, a survivor of the Bohai Kingdom. He had many excellent wild ginseng in his hands. Most of the ginseng on the Anbianfu market came from this tribe.

I heard that Meng Shu wanted to find this tribe, but Wu Erlang, who has always been brave, also retreated: "We have made enough money this time, and the trade routes have been opened up. There is no need to find a group of barbarians."

Meng Shu's eyes were filled with excitement and said, "Think about it, how much does these excellent ginseng cost to be sold in the Central Plains? A ginseng that is 400 years old can be exchanged for a small yard. Now we can use the price of ten tea bricks. After returning to Zhengzhou, we can exchange it for a small yard. This is a dangerous thing to take."

When Wu Erlang saw Meng Shu’s eyes shining, he said helplessly: “I really admire the defense commander. Why did he calculate such a magical machine in seconds? I asked you to be a quarrestrial officer. When I first met you, I just thought you were a white scholar. I never thought that you were a natural businessman.”

Seeing that Meng Shu dared to go, Wu Erlang was not willing to be outdone. The two brought four or five followers, took the last little goods, and hired two local people who had dealt with the small tribe of Sumo and Moe. Each of them bought a good horse and entered the vast forest of Changbai Mountain.

Meng Shu's team, which plunged into the forest, was like entering a maze. In the face of the mysterious nature, personal power seemed too small. This was the sigh that Meng Shu had entered the primeval forest. At that time, after long-term development in the Central Plains, the primeval forest no longer existed. Now, in the forest, there are several big trees that people cannot embrace. When the strong wind blows, the roars from the forest are as frightening as the * in the sea.

Meng Shu's team walked through the forest for two days, and the three camps that the guide had visited were abandoned. The guide said, "The Sumo Marine tribe has no fixed place, and there is no one in these three camps. I really don't know where they have arrived."

Wu Erlang said: "This dog-dream woods are so dense that it makes people breathless, but there are a lot of wild animals. Damn it, I'm tired of eating wild animals these days."

Meng Shu said: "Look for another day, if you can't find it, go back. Do you see where they may be active?"

The guide said: "The Sumo-Mike people were unwilling to deal with the Khitans, so they would still go north."

The group walked north for a day, and what disappointed Meng Shu was that they did not find the tribe with a large number of ginseng in the legend. Meng Shu said: "We did our best, but unfortunately we missed a good deal."

Wu Erlang said: "The world is so big, and the business cannot be completed. Just stop when it is good. If Brother Meng goes to sell private salt, he will definitely be a top-notch player."

Although the Sumo Marine tribe was not found, the caravan made a lot of profits this time. Everyone thought they were going back and felt relieved. There were many animals in the forest. Meng Shu and others successively fought with sika deer, musk deer, hare, etc. When they encountered otters, Meng Shu and others did not recognize them. The guide said, "This is an otter, with tender flesh and the most delicious." The guide said, "There are many beasts in the forest, including big insects, black bears, leopards, wolves and wild boars."

Before the guide finished speaking, another guide said, "Black blind man, there is a black blind man in front of him."

Wu Erlang and others took out the bow and arrow and said to the guide: "You can't shoot. Hei Xiaozi is thick-skinned and fat, and she doesn't hit the vital point, so it doesn't work at all. Hei Xiaozi will not attack people on their own initiative. If it angers it, it will have the strongest desire to revenge."

While speaking, several arrows shot at Heixiazi. The guide said anxiously: "Don't shoot, it's over, run quickly." Meng Shu saw that the arrows of several people were not shot out and said: "There is no arrows."

Hei Xiaozi was caught in an arrow and rushed towards Meng Shu and others. Meng Shu, Wu Erlang and others saw Hei Xiaozi rushing over, and raised the arrow and shot him. Five iron arrows shot him, but none of them hit the vital point. Hei Xiaozi became more and more furious and was about to approach everyone. Meng Shu had only heard of Hei Xiaozi before. Today is the first day of encounter. Seeing Hei Xiaozi being fierce and fearless, everyone turned their heads and ran away. Although Hei Xiaozi looked heavy and furious, his speed was really not slow. Meng Shu was frightened and jumped violently, throwing his follower to the ground. Hei Xiaozi ran towards the landing follower. The follower was so scared that he even forgot to pull his knife, and he just wanted to shout "Help."

Meng Shu stopped when he heard the sound of help. Heixiao approached his follower, and said that his follower was no longer immune. At the critical moment, several arrows roared at Heixiao, all shot on the heart of Heixiao who was about to stand up. Heixiao shook and fell to the ground, and a huge bear paw fell on the chest.

Meng Shu rode over and saw his entourage sank on the ground. He must have been frightened. Hei Xiaozi had several eagle feather arrows inserted into his heart. He knew that someone had come to help him. He looked around and saw several strong men walking out of the forest in the northeast, holding longbows, looking at them.
