Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Heavenly Sacrifice



March 3, the day before the Huajiabao caravan left.

18 prepared carriages were neatly placed at the gate of the main courtyard. The dry food and fodder for tomorrow's trip were also all ready. Hua Kai was taking his grandfather, housekeeper Hua Fu, fifth uncle, Yu Jun, and Er Zhuang to the villagers' homes early in the morning. Before going on a business trip, the head of the family personally took important members of the business trip to visit and inform the villagers of the business trip. This is a tradition.

"Head of the family, please trouble the family to visit with the master, the fifth master, and the housekeeper. It is an honor for my son to be valued by the head of the family. I have told him to listen to the family's instructions on the road and not to be greedy for merit and reckless. Head of the family, if Gou Wa does anything wrong, you can teach him a lesson directly, even if he is beaten to death." Seeing Hua Kai coming with all the family members, the villager enthusiastically poured tea for Hua Kai and others, and said that if his son had an accident on the road, it would be his fate, and his family would always be loyal to the Hua family.

"Gou Wa is at the second level of Kaiyuan Realm. According to the regulations, it takes about 200 days to go to Xiongnu. The wages are 220 silver. Half of it is 1 gold and 10 silver. You can order it. The rest will be repaid according to the situation when the merchant comes back. Don't worry! Gou Wa is at the Kaiyuan Realm, and we are following the Han family caravan, so there will be no problem." Hua Kai handed the money to the other party carefully. This is the regulation of the merchant. Half of the wages must be paid first before the team members will work for you.

The powerful villagers of Huajiabao saw it in their eyes. Huajiabao became more prosperous after the wild beasts retreated in winter. The villagers of Huajiabao are full of confidence in this merchant trip. Who let Huajiabao have a master of Qi training? That can easily kill wild beasts.

Hua Kai finally confirmed the list of personnel for the trip to Xiongnu. A total of 52 people, twice as many as the initial plan, including three people in the Qi training realm, including grandfather Hua Xing, fifth uncle Hua Zichen, and novelist Yu Jun.

Yu Jun's loyalty has reached 86 points now, but he has not had the opportunity to enter the [Family Secret Space]. A few days ago, when he was writing his own novel, he suddenly felt like he had an epiphany and had many more ideas. He entered the minor success of [Basic Copywriting Skills] and became a novelist student.

There are 4 people in the Qidong Realm, including Huafu Butler, Erzhuang, etc., among whom Huafu Butler has already stepped into the Qi Training Realm half a step. There are 41 people in the Kaiyuan Realm, and there are only 4 people in the Queti Realm, including Hua Kai. It can be said that the strength is beyond imagination. Even if the general ninth-grade family goes to business, it may not have such a large lineup.

After visiting all the villagers who followed the business, Hua Kai's 40 gold in his hand was almost spent. The servants and guards did not need to be paid, but Hua Kai still gave each of them ten taels of silver to let them stay at home for subsidies. This money can improve the prosperity of Huajiabao in the hands of these villagers and servants. Although Hua Kai does not know what the prosperity is for now, he will definitely use it in the future.

At noon, everything was settled. Hua Kai went back to his room for a nap. He entered the [Family Secret Space] to check the family attribute panel.

Huajiabao: Not in the rank

Prosperity: 64

Combat power: 51

Agriculture: 31

Animal Husbandry: 28

Commerce: 40

Culture: 36

Comprehensive strength: 250

Allies: None

Funds: 121 taels of gold, 69 taels of silver, 3639 bone coins

Hostile forces: Hutuo Mountain, Guangxian Shen Family (ninth rank)

Luck value: 178

With a luck value of 178 points, it is definitely impossible to upgrade to 200 points tomorrow to upgrade the portable space. It is better to create an equipment to improve the combat strength of the caravan.

Hua Kai originally planned to create a handy spear for his grandfather, but unfortunately the meteorite iron in Jubao Pavilion costs 600 gold and Huajia can't afford it. He can only focus on the cheapest equipment [Golden Silk Armor] in [Weapon Shop].

[Golden Silk Armor] requires 50 taels of gold and 1 piece of brocade. Hua Kai had filled his portable space a long time ago, and it was full of refined salt, refined tea, and silk. He took out 50 gold and 1 piece of silk and put them in the [Weapon Shop] synthesis frame, clicked to make, and saw that everything he put in was sucked into the weapon shop, and the family luck on the crystal column disappeared by more than half, and a beautiful golden silk inner armor appeared in the synthesis frame.

"It's really black technology! This inner armor is very elastic and not much worse than my purple gold armor. As long as the defense is not bad, it is not a problem to sell it for 200 gold." Thinking of this, Hua Kai had an idea, and he might be able to get the meteorite iron from the Jubao Pavilion.

After leaving the space, Hua Kai tried his red cherry gun on the golden silk armor many times, but there was no trace left. He asked Yu Jun to come over and try it with his sword, and only rough traces were left on the inner armor.

"Master, where did this inner armor come from? It is so exquisitely made and has such strong defense." Yu Jun asked curiously.

"Don't worry about where it comes from, just ask how much this golden inner armor is worth?" Hua Kai said.

"The price of weapons and armor is not fixed, it depends on the buyer's demand. I think someone should buy the inner armor for 500 gold."

"I'll give you a task. Take this inner armor to the county town and find a way to exchange the meteorite iron from Jubao Pavilion. Try not to let anyone know about this." Hua Kai said to Yu Jun.

"Okay, I guess Jubao Pavilion will exchange it. Such exquisite inner armor is too rare, and the defense is so good. I'll go now." Yu Jun took a cloth bag and wrapped the inner armor in several layers and stuffed it into his arms. He went to the stable and led a horse and left.

More than an hour later, Hua Kai saw Yu Jun riding back. The bag in his hand seemed very heavy. Hua Kai knew that the meteorite iron was finally in his hands.

There were many spears in the [Weapon Shop] that used meteorite iron as the main material. Hua Kai checked for a long time and finally selected two spears that he could make.

[Mingyue Spear] 3rd-grade common weapon

Required: 10 jin of meteorite iron, 30 jin of silver, 20 jin of gold

Family luck value: 146 points

[Yanling Spear] 7th-grade common weapon

Required: 40 jin of meteorite iron, 10 jin of silver, 30 jin of phoenix wood

Family luck value: 260 points

The first [Mingyue Spear] is relatively easy to forge, and it can be forged quickly as long as the family luck value is high. Moreover, Hua Kai's [Weapon Shop] can forge armor and weapons according to the family member Wu Shu, of course, the family members are limited to the list on the crystal column.

[Yanling Spear] The reason why Hua Kai chose it is because Hua Kai has heard of phoenix wood, which is a 6th-grade wood. Huajiabao is in the weapons business and is more familiar with wood. This phoenix wood can be found by the Hua family.

40 jin of meteorite iron is only a little bigger than a fist, and Hua Kai has no problem putting it in the space. In the afternoon, the whole Huajiabao began to become quiet. Tomorrow is the day when the caravan will leave. All the members who will follow the caravan will rest early today. Their families will also help them prepare to go out and pay their respects. The whole Huajiabao is in an atmosphere of hope and reluctance.

Hua Zichen came to the door of Ji Le's room gently. Since this morning, Ji Le has never paid attention to Hua Zichen. Hua Zichen knows that the other party is worried about him.

"Ji Le!" Hua Zichen waited at the door of Ji Le for half an hour and finally spoke.

"Are you going to drive me away?" Ji Le said in a deep voice.

"I think we should have a good talk!" Hua Zichen said.

Ji Le seemed to feel that something was about to happen. The grievance in her heart seemed to be unable to be suppressed anymore, and tears could not help but flow down.

She was afraid that Hua Zichen would let her give up.

"Don't cry first, let me come in. I have something to tell you."

Hua Zichen's voice sounded, Ji Le wiped his eyes and finally opened the door.

Hua Zichen saw Ji Le's crying face and felt a pain in his heart. It was this girl who gave up the comfortable life in the royal city for him. She went through a lot of hardships to run back to Huajiabao in the winter. It was a blessing from heaven that he could meet her. He would not be at ease if he let her down for the rest of his life.

"Ji Le! Thank you very much for being devoted to me. You gave up a lot for me. I know all this."

Ji Le couldn't help crying when she heard Hua Zichen say that. She thought Hua Zichen was going to tell her to give up.

"Don't cry! Be good! You cry as if I abandoned you and didn't want you anymore!" Hua Zichen smiled and wiped Ji Le's tears. This was the first time he had such an intimate action with Ji Le.

Ji Le looked into Hua Zichen's affectionate eyes, felt his love for her, and threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

"I didn't dare to think about our future before, because I felt that I was not worthy of you in this life anyway. I didn't want you to go to some small country in the south with me and live in anonymity for the rest of my life. This would be too cruel for both of our families." Hua Zichen said softly, and Ji Le stopped crying and listened quietly.

"So I have been avoiding you in my heart, even though I know you have been in my heart for a long time. Until I met my nephew at home!" Hua Zichen suddenly laughed when he said this.

"Your nephew is really interesting. He called me Aunt Wu last time!" Ji Le said with a smile.

"Well! I came to see you today because I want you to go back to Linzi City tomorrow... Listen to me first." Hua Zichen saw that Ji Le was about to cry again and said hurriedly.

"I, Hua Zichen, want to marry you and marry you in a grand manner. Give me three years and I will definitely go to Qufu City to find you. At that time, I will ask your father to marry you to me. Ji Le, are you willing to wait for me?" Hua Zichen asked while looking at Ji Le in his arms affectionately.

"I am willing. If you don't come, I will wait for you forever! I will die of old age in the palace of King Lu in Qufu City. Tomorrow I will return to Linzi City. When I return to Linzi, my father will definitely take me back to the country. If you don't come, I will hate you forever."

Hua Zichen said such words to Ji Le for the first time. Ji Le hugged him tightly and bit his arm fiercely. She didn't let go until she felt the strong smell of blood.

Hua Zichen seemed to be savoring the pain Ji Le gave him. He stroked Ji Le's hair lovingly. He would never let this girl down in this life!

Before dawn on March 3, the altar was built in the martial arts training ground of Huajiabao. Hua Kai led all members of the Hua family to pray in front of the altar, asking God to bless Hua Kai to return safely from business. Hua Xing stood beside him, and the four brothers Hua Ziqi stood in the back row.

Everyone in Huajiabao was extremely solemn. Even the children who were only a few years old did not dare to make noise at this time. After Hua Kai finished reading the sacrificial text, the village elders and villagers brought Hua Kai a farewell wine. Hua Kai took a sip and threw it on the ground. After the sacrifice, everyone began to organize their weapons and armor, standing next to the horse team waiting for the moment of departure.

"The Han family caravan has left the county!" A villager ran in from outside the village and shouted loudly!

"Let's go!" Hua Kai gave an order for the carriage to slowly start. The gate of Huajiabao opened wide, and 18 carriages of the Hua family caravan slowly walked out of the village.

The official road was crowded with cars, from Guang County to Huajiabao. The Han family caravan had only more than 20 carriages, but there were nearly 100 escorts accompanying them. Half of their caravan was pulling jars of wine, and the other half was wrapped in coarse cloth to carry salt, sugar, tea and other scarce items on the grassland. Although it didn't look like much, it was much more valuable than the Hua family caravan.

The Han family caravan was followed by the Jia family in the county and some ordinary family caravans. Most of their caravans were the same as the Huajiabao caravan, with nearly a hundred escorts. Because the journey was long, everyone's carriages were not loaded with much stuff, so the caravan could go faster.

The Huajiabao caravan caught up with the huge caravan led by the Han family. Behind him was the Shen family caravan with carriages full of goods. The Chen family and Yi family caravans outside the city followed the Shen family caravan, but the Yi family only had 8 carriages this year, and 4 of them were full of food. A poor horse was pulling the carriage with great effort, and the accompanying servants were still pushing hard behind the carriage.

The difference in strength of each family can be seen from the posture of this trip. The Huajiabao caravans were all pulled by big horses, and there were 8 people including Hua Xing riding horses in front of the team to clear the way. The momentum was much greater than that of ordinary families.

On both sides of the official road, there were ordinary people from Guang County who were seeing off the merchants. Everyone was happy to discuss the caravans of each family. Even the Huang family of Xihe Village, which never went on business, came with a large group of villagers to watch the excitement. Whether the business trips could be successful every day represented the rise and fall of the entire Guang County.

"Are you the Hua family caravan? Where is the pass?" At this time, a capable young man came out of the Han family caravan and rode to the front of the Hua family caravan.

"I am, this is the pass!" Hua Kai jumped off the shaft of the carriage, took the package from the carriage, and took out the pass for this business trip.

"Well! Get off the car and check, you didn't bring any extra things!" The young man looked at the transport materials on the pass and called several Han family members to start checking the Hua family's goods.

"No, they were all checked by the housekeeper Han himself." Hua Kai returned.

The head of the merchant group checked the goods. This is a procedure that must be followed every year. If any family brought extra goods that did not match the list on the pass, then they could not move forward with the merchant group. There are still many things to check in their hearts on the way to the grassland!

"Okay, no problem! Our destination this time is the Huhan Tribe of the Xiongnu Kingdom. We will stay there for about a month. If you can't keep up with the caravan on the way, we won't stop and wait for you. You all know this, right?" Hua Kai saw that the young man was about 30 years old and had the strength of the 4th level of Qi training. He should be one of the leaders of the Han family's business trip this time. Hua Kai indicated that he knew, and the other party returned to his caravan. The Huajiabao caravan then caught up with the big caravan and drove northwest along the official road.
