After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1195 Opening up the transportation route

……

The next day, Ye Acheng and his brother went to the Huang family branch to find Huang Liu, and were pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Bai in the shop.

"Brother Bai, it really is you!" Ye Acheng hurriedly clasped his hands in congratulations: "Congratulations, Brother Bai, you have done a great service."

Xiao Bai had just woken up and couldn't see who it was for a moment. He rubbed his eyes... Ye Acheng noticed that Xiao Bai's hands, which were rubbing his eyes, were covered with fresh scars, and even two of his fingernails were missing. He felt very sorry for him.

He must have been subjected to a lot of torture while in prison.

But after Xiaobai recognized Ye Acheng, he started to speak sarcastically: "Oh, it's Boss Ye. What happened to you, Boss Ye? Why are you suddenly so friendly?"

Then he looked at Ye Awen: "Master Awen, your brother praised his sworn brother, aren't you angry? Aren't you going to get angry and smash things?"

The two brothers, along with the Ye family members who came with them: "..."

We shouldn't feel sorry for him going to jail and being tortured!

"Brother Bai, you flatter me. This is Jiangnan Prefecture. It's a blessing that we can meet here, like fellow countrymen in a foreign land," Ye Acheng said with a smile.

Xiao Bai: "Good people always suffer when they meet someone from their hometown, so don't try that on me. What are you doing here? Just say it."

You're no good person at all!
You have Huang Yanglong's bastard qualities, and he has his own kind of insidiousness!

The Ye family members cursed inwardly, but smiled on the surface.

"Brother Ye, sit down. If you have something to say, just say it. Even though we're far from home, we're still family." Huang Liu stepped in to stop the children's quarrel.

Ye Acheng clasped his hands in greeting to Huang Liu, then sat down and said, "We don't have anything important to say. We just knew that Brother Bai, Young Master Ying, and Commander Yan are in jail, so we came to check on them... Is Boss Zheng here? Let's pick a day and have a meal together."

He then said to Xiaobai, "Invite Young Master Ying, Commander Yan, and the righteous Lin Mujia as well."

"My goodness, Uncle Ye, you're so blunt! You want to get close to so many people over just one meal? Do you even have enough hands? Haven't you already gotten close to Madam Zhang?" Xiao Bai seemed to be possessed by Huang Yanglong, his words so venomous that the Ye family wanted to beat him to death!

"Xiaobai." Huang Liu's voice was slightly stern as he reminded Xiaobai to stop while she was ahead and not to provoke anyone.

Little White snorted, no longer being sarcastic.

"Is that all?" Huang Liu asked Ye Acheng.

Ye Acheng nodded: "That's the main thing. Also, I want to know some information about the battle situation in the capital, as well as in the northeast and northwest, from Young Master Ying, Commander Yan, and Boss Zheng."

"And that terrifying rat plague, will Jiangnan Prefecture take measures to prevent the plague? If so, we must hurry back to Lingnan Prefecture, lest we encounter the plague in a foreign land and have no ability to save ourselves."

Out of consideration for their shared hometown, Huang Liu agreed: "Alright, Xiao Bai and I will make the arrangements, but I can't guarantee whether Young Master Ying, Commander Yan, and Master Zheng will be available for the banquet."

Ye Acheng clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Huang Liu."

Then someone brought over a box of gifts and gave it to Xiao Bai: "Brother Bai, this is a gift to celebrate your release from prison. Please accept it."

Xiao Bai: "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were making fun of me. But I'll accept the gifts, after all, I'm poor, what did you even give me?"

He then went to open the box.

Upon seeing this, he was shocked: "Uncle Ye, your generosity is frightening! What exactly are you planning to do?"

Besides dried seafood that could be used as money, there was also a box of pearls inside.

Ye Acheng said, "I'm sponsoring your academic studies, and I hope that after you become successful, you won't cause trouble for my Ye family."

To put it simply, if Huang Yanglong was merely beaten with a sack over his head in Lingnan Prefecture, then Xiaobai was beaten and verbally abused to death by his sworn brother.

"Uncle Ye, what are you saying? How could I be so stingy? I'll accept it then, but you have to write me a note proving that this isn't a bribe, but rather a gift from an elder to their nephew for his livelihood." Xiao Bai said, "A written agreement will put my mind at ease." The Ye family wanted to beat him up.

Ye Acheng was also unhappy, but he wrote him a written statement to prove that it was a free gift and there was nothing shady about it.

Huang Liu also acted as a witness.

Huang Liu was also quite speechless... Long Ge'er and Xiao Bai went to the North and became much more cunning. Aren't Northerners supposed to be honest and simple? What kind of Northerners did they learn to be so cunning from?

"Uncle Ye, take care." Xiao Bai waved goodbye, beaming with joy, his fortune having increased considerably.

After Ye Acheng and the others had gone some distance, Xiaobai said to Huang Liu, "Uncle Liu, something's not right with the Ye family. They're obviously not telling the truth... They want to see Young Master Ying and Commander Yan. Could it be that they want to find out some information for the Zhang family?"

Huang Liudao said, "Don't waste time thinking too much. We'll find out their purpose when we have the banquet... However, since we're all from the same place, they won't kill the Huang family."

But whether it will bring disaster to the Ye family remains to be seen.

In short, the locals in Lingnan all felt that the Ye family had taken too big a step and made a mistake, and that there might be great dangers to come.

The next day, Ye Acheng and his brothers, Huang Liu, Xiao Bai, Ying Zilin, Yan Zongqi, Zheng Dongjia and others met.

During the meal, Ye Acheng and his brother didn't make any demands. It seemed they just wanted to get to know more capable people so that the Ye family could have more options.

Ying Zilin, Yan Zongqi, and other government offices such as the Jinling Prefecture and the Jiangnan Provincial Administration Commission also gave the Ye and Huang families preferential treatment.

This allows their cargo ships to cross the river, enter Jianghuai Prefecture, travel by waterway through Jianghuai Prefecture, and reach the Weiyangfu Wharf in Jianghuai Prefecture.

"Once we arrive at the Weiyang Prefecture dock, members of the Luan family will come to meet us, help us unload the goods and load them onto the trucks, and we'll head straight for Taizhou Prefecture." Ying Zilin took out a map and told Ye Acheng about the fastest transportation route.

Ye Awen took notes, but since he had never studied drafting, he found it quite difficult to record.

Ying Zilin said, "Uncle Ye, there's no need to take notes. I'll give you this map after I finish speaking."

Ye Awen exclaimed in surprise, "Give it to us? This is too valuable, we can't accept it."

Such specially marked maps of both land and water were rare items only available to government offices.

Xiao Bai said, "Uncle Wen, please accept it. Chief Ying has many more maps at home; giving you three or five wouldn't be a problem."

This?
As expected of a prestigious family, their heritage is unmatched.

The Ye brothers: "Thank you."

Ying Zilin continued to explain the route to them, then took out another box and handed it to them: "Once you transport the supplies to the Weiyang Prefecture dock and hand them over to the Luan family, that will be the end of it. The rest of the land route will be handled by our people... If you encounter any troublesome forces while traveling by water, open the box and show them the letter and tokens at the corresponding locations. If they still dare to obstruct you, they are probably suicide soldiers. Do not confront them head-on; protect yourselves first. The Wei army will send troops to kill the enemy."

The battlefield wasn't just in the Northwest and Northeast; there were enemies inland as well, so it was normal for all sorts of monsters and demons to appear on the supply lines.

What they need to do is take the opportunity to wipe out the enemy and completely open up all the transportation points of the Great Wei Dynasty from south to north, so as to ensure that the transportation lines are unobstructed.

“Dead, assassins?!” Ye Awen trembled: “When we came, Lord Huang and Grandpa Chen didn’t mention it.”

Those Chen and Huang bastards have caused us so much harm!

Zheng Nandan's trusted steward, Asen, was also serving nearby. Seeing this, he truly felt sorry for his boss...

The Dong family has contributed money and effort, helped the imperial court amass so much wealth and accomplished so much, yet they have not been granted official positions. However, the Ye family has taken on the task of transporting grain and supplies to aid in the war against the enemy.

They are also very likely to be involved in transporting new drugs to combat the epidemic in the future.

If these two things are accomplished, the Ye family will likely be granted official positions!
