Chapter 1268: Asking for Help

The capital city was packed with people and the streets were so congested that even horse-drawn carriages could not move. Those who wanted to go out could only ride horses or walk, and many people complained bitterly about this.

Especially for the ladies and daughters of the rich family, if they wanted to eat some pastries on the street, it would take them a whole day to walk back and forth.

The weather is hot and the food you buy is no longer fresh.

Travel is severely restricted, and the families of senior officials are in panic.

The officials in charge of the imperial merchants used their abacus to clatter every day, and the daily income bills were sent to the palace.

The Emperor of Beili went from being worried at the beginning to being smiling now. All commercial income in the capital was dozens of times higher than usual.

If the national treasury remains full every day, it will be just around the corner.

It is a bit chaotic, after all, it is in the territory of Beili. We can dispatch more troops to deter and there is no need to worry about chaos.

There were more than 100,000 troops in the military camp, and about 50,000 of them were transferred to the vicinity of the capital, almost surrounding the entire capital. No one dared to act rashly when facing such a large force.

Emperor Beili issued an imperial decree that only five people from each sect could enter to participate in the martial arts competition, and more would have to wait outside the city.

The government will count the martial artists and martial arts sects who have entered the capital, and all their escorts will be sent out of the capital.

The reason was that the capital city was overcrowded and couldn't accommodate so many people.

Many people in the martial arts world are alone and don't care about this at all. Many sects and families complain when they receive such news.

Those who came this time were either the sect leader, the young master, or the young lady. They all lived a life of luxury and had no guards. What if something unexpected happened?
The imperial edict caused some minor controversy, but no major disturbance occurred among the soldiers of Beili. If they were unwilling to send out their guards and entourage, they could all be sent out of the capital.

Seeing how tough they were, the various sects had no choice but to send their followers out of the city.

Without the guards, the leaders or sect masters in the capital city repeatedly warned the younger generations to behave themselves and not cause trouble.

"Give way, give way."

"Excuse me, everyone, please lend me a way..."

"Thank you all."

On the busy street, a group of men in plain clothes were pulling a cart, with people pushing it on both sides.

Cars were parked one after another, and looking back it was so long that you couldn't see the end.

The man leading the way in front was wearing a dark-colored long gown, his forehead was covered with sweat. However, there were so many people in the capital in the past few days that it was difficult for cars to pass.

"Boss Gu imported so much goods at once, he must have made a lot of money."

In a restaurant on the side of the street, Takaki was leaning on the second-floor window, talking and joking.

Gu Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and bowed to Gao Qi: "Mr. Gao."

Gao Qi turned his head and saw cars coming one after another. He stood on the second floor but couldn't see the end. He couldn't help but be curious: "What goods did Boss Gu bring in?"

"only……"

"What they get into is none of your business."

A female voice interrupted Gu Chi's words.

Gao Qi looked over when he heard the voice and met that contemptuous gaze. He sneered, "What do I want to ask? It has nothing to do with the princess."

Nan Xiang leaned against the second-floor window across the street and snorted with a stronger hint of sarcasm: "I heard that the Prime Minister has recently taken charge of the general accounts of the Imperial Merchants. Mr. Gao is asking about the Gu family's goods. Could it be that he wants to steal the Gu family's business?"

Gao Qi's eyes darkened when he heard this: "The princess is not afraid of slipping her tongue when she speaks."

"What's wrong? Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?" Nan Xiang crossed her arms.

"If the princess wants to cause trouble, I will accompany her to the end."

Nan Xiang smiled, stepped on the window, and flew down from the second floor: "I'm not afraid of you."

Gao Qi also flew down from the second floor. Gu Chi was quick-witted and immediately stood between the two of them: "Princess, Master Gao, calm down in this hot weather."

"Boss Gu, please be more careful in everything you do, or your shop will be squeezed out and cannot be operated." Nan Xiang looked down on the Imperial Merchants. Apart from the Imperial Merchants' shop, there was only one shop owned by the Gu family in the entire capital.

She was impressed by the fact that the Gu family would rather pay several times the tax than become an imperial merchant.

"Thank you for your advice, Princess, but these things are not for sale." Gu Chi smiled gently.

"It's not for sale. Boss Gu has so many trucks. What are they?" Nan Xiang was surprised.

Gao Qi was also curious when he heard this.

"My niece asked me to get some high-quality felt and some rain and moisture-proof items a few days ago. They are needed to build a residence in the west of the city. As you two know, there are many literati in the west of the city and they need a lot of things. There are still hundreds of vehicles outside the city that have not entered the city yet." Gu Chi was a little distressed.

The weather had been bad in recent days, and he rushed to get his belongings back, making it difficult to enter the city.

There were too many people, and carriages could not get in at all, so people had to go by hand. It would take four or five hours to walk from the city gate to the west of the city. Now the crowds were so crowded that at this speed, it might not be possible to get there in a day.

There are still many people outside the city who cannot get in and are in a hurry.

"Are they all shipped to the west of the city?"

"Who's your niece?"

Takasaki and Nan Xiang said in unison.

After hearing it, the two of them reacted, turned their heads and glared at each other, then looked at Gu Chi together.

"My niece Ye Qianning, you should have seen her when you were young. She attended classes at Loushan Academy when she was young." Gu Chi's smile deepened when he mentioned Ye Qianning. "Although she is small, she is very thoughtful. The small tents of people living in the west of the city cannot withstand the wind and rain. That child designed a method to build a sturdy tent, which is why so many materials are needed."

When Nan Xiang heard Ye Qianning's name, she began to sort out the relatives of the Gu family in her mind.

Gao Qi was different. When he heard Ye Qianning's name, his mind was full of Ye Qianning. Ye Qianning was going to set up a tent in the west of the city. If he could help, Ye Qianning might not be so cold when he saw him.

"Boss Gu." Gao Qi said solemnly.

"What advice do you have, Mr. Gao?"

"Boss Gu said there are still hundreds of truckloads of materials outside the city that haven't entered the city yet, right?"

"kindness."

"If Boss Gu trusts me, please leave it to me. The convoy outside the city must arrive in the west of the city before dark today."

Gu Chi was stunned, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the intention of the person in front of him.

"Boss Gu, don't listen to him. Leave it to me. I will send people to the city gate to pick up the convoy right now." Nan Xiang was unwilling to fall behind.

Gu Chi was stunned again: "This..."

"I sincerely want to help. I think Boss Gu won't distrust me." Gao Qi said sincerely.

"I got it."

"Since you trust me, Boss Gu, just hand the matter over to me. I will ensure that everything will be delivered to the west of the city."

"It's not a valuable thing, so don't bother me, Mr. Gao." Gu Chi thought about it and didn't dare to put the matter in his hands.

It’s not valuable, but if you have less of it, it will be very troublesome.

"Boss Gu is right. We should do our own business ourselves before we can feel at ease." Nan Xiang was overjoyed, with obvious sarcasm in her voice.

Gao Qi was not annoyed by being rejected, and said in a good temper: "Then, Gao will make way for Boss Gu, so that the convoy can go faster."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Chi to respond, a whistle sounded.

Seven or eight guards in tight uniforms landed on the ground in unison: "Young Master."
