Chapter Ninety-Six: The Three Families Join Forces

"Sea ...... Ahem, Lin Niangzi, why did you come to Anyang Mansion? When did it arrive? ......" Liao Wenqing stepped out of the original box, and saw at a glance the beautiful woman who was about to enter the adjacent box, but it was not that he came these days, every day passed, there was one more thought, but because he wanted to clear all the obstacles, he had to stay here, stay in Anyang Mansion and try his best to maneuver, plan, and can't get out to see the person, under the agitation in his heart, the name of his heart almost blurted out, fortunately, he didn't completely lose his sanity at all, and he could be alert with a word. Hurriedly changed his words.

didn't blurt out his name in public, but the next questions couldn't help blurting out at all.

When Qiu Chen heard the voice, he turned around and saw Liao Wenqing, and his face couldn't help but show unexpected joy: "Do you still have something urgent?" If it's all right, just come over here and we'll talk later! ”

Liao Wenqing saw that although Qiu Chen had a happy look on his face, he did not have an expression of shyness and twisting, and after being slightly disappointed, he thought that Lin Niangzi was so familiar with his attitude, obviously he didn't treat him as an outsider, and the little disappointment and loss in his heart immediately dissipated, and turned into a heart full of joy, and followed the Lin family into the box where Qiu Chen was.

Yun Er Gongzi came out closely behind Liao Wenqing, heard the conversation between the two clearly, and saw that Liao San actually said that he was fine, and he actually left him behind, and couldn't help but be angry and laugh. and Cheng Zhishen, the shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn, actually knew the woman, and followed the woman into someone's box......

This one or two, they all lost him!

Simply, he won't go back by himself, just go over and have a good time!

Yes, Yun Er Gongzi followed closely behind Liao Wenqing and also stepped into Qiu Chen's box.

Liao Wenqing entered the box and saw a group of children, so he greeted them one by one with a smile, patted Junwen's shoulder, touched Junyan Junzhang's head, zuihou, and simply hugged Afu Aman into his arms, and talked one by one.

As soon as Yun Ergongzi stepped in, what he saw was Liao Wenqing holding a child in one hand, and the little girl was holding a half-bitten snack into Liao Wenqing's mouth. Then, Yun Jichen watched Liao Sangongzi, who has always loved cleanliness and is famous, actually took a bite of that half of the snack without hesitation, and smiled like a fool, hugging the two children and kissing them one by one......

Somehow, Yun Er Gongzi was stunned and dumbfounded, and suddenly thought of a word-loving father!

Well, it's a loving father!

Liao Wenqing is holding two children, if he doesn't know clearly, he Liao Sangongzi definitely didn't marry a wife and have children, and he definitely didn't have an outer room, Ren didn't know much about the situation, but I was afraid that he would sigh without suspicion - what a scene of filial piety of father and son!

But Qiu Chen didn't feel anything, and smiled and said to Ah Fu Aman: "Don't get your Uncle Liao dirty!" ”

turned to the young man who rushed to bring a basin of water, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, dipped it in a little syrup, and then took a copper box handed over by Junwen, took out the light green flower-like soap inside, and gave Cheng Zhishen a demonstration: "Shopkeeper Cheng, you can use this thing and water basin, go next door and wash the clothes and dry them for a while, and you can wear them." ”

Cheng Zhishen naturally thanked him, but as if he had just remembered, he turned to the side slightly, asked the second son of Yun after his birth, and said to Qiu Chen: "Lin Niangzi, this is our owner Yun Jichen and Yun Ergongzi." The second son, this is the Lin lady who stayed in the inn, and I didn't expect to meet here today. ”

Qiu Chen's heart jumped, but he kept a faint smile on his face, and his hands were clasped in front of his chest, "Second Master Yun!" ”

Yun Jichen naturally bowed his hand, "Lin Niangzi, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

After introducing the two to each other, Cheng Zhishen took the copper box handed over by Qiu Chen, and took the young man with the basin to another private room.

These people all retreated, and only the Lin family, Liao Wenqing and Yun Er Gongzi were left in the private room, and even Yun Er Gongzi's little servant was sent out by him.

Everyone sat down, and Yun Er Gongzi took the lead and smiled: "It seems that Liao Sangongzi and Lin Niangzi are very familiar with each other!" ”

Liao Wenqing raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Of course! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the third son can also be regarded as my owner!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liao Wenqing's face darkened, but Yun Er raised his eyebrows with great interest: "Oh? ”

Qiu Chen said a little about the cooperation between the Lin family and the Liao family in two sentences, and then turned to Liao Wenqing and said: "This time I came to Fucheng, I plan to buy or rent a shop......

"Shop?" When Liao Wenqing heard this, he couldn't care about the sourness in his heart, and immediately wondered, "What are you doing with the shop?" ”

"Actually, it was the last time I wanted to cooperate with the young owner...... At that time, the Shaodong family had a hurry to leave and failed to negotiate, and later, I also considered that these things had nothing to do with medicinal materials after all, and it must not be so easy for the Shaodong family to take over, so I came to Fucheng to see the shop! ”

"Oh? What exactly is it? When Liao Wenqing heard this, it was actually because he was in a hurry to leave last time, so Lin Niangzi took her children and nephews to Anyang Mansion in person, and while feeling ashamed, she couldn't help but wonder, what is it that makes Lin Niangzi so confident that she dared to break into Anyang Mansion to open a shop? !

Qiu Chen smiled: "It's the one that was used by the shopkeeper Cheng, the efficiency of removing stains is better than that of bath beans, I gave it a name, it's called 'soap'!" ”

Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen are both business wizards, and with such an obvious business opportunity, they naturally immediately realized how much profit this so-called 'soap' can bring to the market! It's an exclusive! And it's an exclusive product that has no competitors at all!

The two thought at the same time, and Yun Jichen spoke: "Could it be that Lin Niangzi opened a shop, and this is the only one she wants to sell...... Well, soap? ”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Qiu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Of course not, when I was dispensing medicine, I also figured out several kinds of fragrance recipes." Just this kind of soap, it can also be made into a product of washing hands and face, washing hair, bathing, and even washing clothes. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing took a breath at the same time.

According to Lin Niangzi's words, this is not a monopoly operation of products at all, this is a complete occupation of this field!

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, took a piece of dried apricots and put it in his mouth, and slowly ate this slightly sour preserved fruit, then raised his eyes to look at the two opposite, and smiled: "Of course, my financial ability is limited, and these can only stay in the imagination stage, at first, what is ready to be sold is still soap!" ”

Yun Jichen took a breath secretly, glanced at Liao Wenqing, who had been silent next to him, and knew that since this matter was discussed in front of Liao Laosan, and Liao Laosan had a close relationship with the Lin family, he wanted to cooperate with the Lin family exclusively, but he was afraid that it would not work, so simply the three of them would work together!

After paying attention, Yun Jichen slowly spoke: "Lin Niangzi has limited financial resources, have you ever thought about cooperating with others?" ”

Seeing that Qiu Chen smiled slightly, but did not answer, Yun Jichen simply stopped going around in circles, and said bluntly: "I don't know if Lin Niangzi can understand, my Yun family has many shops in Anyang Mansion, and has its own fleet, going back and forth between the north and the south, if Lin Niangzi can cooperate with me, the Lin family only needs to produce, and the rest of the sales and foreign transportation can be handed over to me to do." ”

Qiu Chen glanced at Liao Wenqing with a smile, and then turned to Yun Jichen and said, "The second son of Yun can be so open and honest, and he can indeed see the sincerity of the second son of Yun's cooperation. It's just that I have talked to Liao Sangongzi about this matter before, if you really cooperate, please allow Liao Sangongzi's opinion first! ”

Yun Jichen had just made up his mind to cooperate with the Liao family, so he naturally would not object at this time, so he agreed without hesitation.

Liao Wenqing was very bitter in his heart.

He has worked hard to hand over the second son of Yun these days, just to be able to deal with the pig-headed Gao Lanfang who tried to covet the Lin family and covet the Lin lady. These days, he has always been complacent about his little achievements, but he didn't expect that before he had a result here, Lin Niangzi actually entered Anyang Mansion by herself, and she caught up with Yun Er Gongzi effortlessly!

And looking at Yun Ergongzi's expression at this time, if Gao Lanfang wants to do anything, I'm afraid that if Lin Niangzi doesn't need to speak, Yun Ergongzi will dispose of the pig's head! Even, in order to prevent future troubles, it is very likely that Gao Xiupu, the same knowledge that the Yun Prefect deliberately tolerated before, will also be pulled off the horse!

Compared with the third child of the Gao family who has nostrils facing the sky and is self-righteous, this second child of the Yun family, who is polite and gentle and harmless, is the real hot character. This is also what Liao Wenqing gradually discovered after getting acquainted with Yun Jichen. The fleet under his control was able to move north and south smoothly, not only by virtue of his housekeeper background, but also by the handover of many gangs and even water bandits on the waterway. Dealing with those outlaws is not something that good people can play.

The reason why he got in touch with each other became more and more determined to hand over Yun Jichen, but after many days of hard work, he was not as good as the Lin family's wife, and he tied the Yun family and the Lin family together as soon as he made a move. Moreover, it was the second child of the Yun family who was in a hurry to beg for this kind of cooperative relationship......

He's not as much as a woman!

After this bitterness, Liao Wenqing still has a faint fear - can such a woman really be owned by him and accompany him for the rest of his life?

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, when he heard Qiu Chen call out his name, Liao Wenqing still immediately put up his spirits, tried to restrain his expression, and showed a calm smile: "In this matter, since Lin Niangzi said so, I, Liao San, will also be cheeky and involved, I don't know what Yun Er Gongzi thinks?" ”

Yun Jichen just saw the change in the expression on Liao Wenqing's face, although he didn't know too well what the other party was thinking in his heart, it did not prevent him from making a decision on the cooperation of the three families.

Yes, as soon as Liao Wenqing asked, Yun Jichen agreed with a smile without hesitation.

So far, the cooperation intention of the Yun family, the Liao family, and the Lin family to jointly develop soap washing products has been basically determined. Next, it's time for the detailed terms of cooperation.

The Yun family's business was originally done by Yun Jichen, and now Liao Wenqing can also make his own decisions on the business matters of the Liao family, not to mention the Lin family, Qiu Chen has a complete and thorough right to speak. In this way, the negotiation of various matters of cooperation between the three companies is particularly smooth.

It took only one hour for the three parties to negotiate a basic framework for cooperation.

The funds are jointly issued by the Yun family and the Liao family, half of the family, however, because of the Yun family's ship route and the official background that does not need to be explained, when the profits are divided, the Yun family is two percent more than the Liao family, which are forty percent, two percent and four percent, and the latter forty percent is the Lin family's share of Jishu's shares.

The specific business model has basically been determined. The Liao family of the Yun family issued the start-up capital, and then the Lin family was responsible for building the plant and recruiting workers, and the Liao family and the Yun family were responsible for purchasing raw materials, and the Lin family was only responsible for production, and then, the sales were handed over to the Yun family.

Later, at Qiu Chen's suggestion, the three agreed on a macro plan, that is, the Ming Dynasty divided the Yangtze River into two parts, north and south, Jiangbei was jointly responsible for the development and sales of the three companies, and Jiangnan was divided into provinces to auction off the soap manufacturing process. Of course, this auction will also be postponed, and the operation will only start after the soap here is put on the market and the Jiangbei market is stabilized.

Everything was negotiated, and it was almost noon.

Yun Jichen unexpectedly got such a good business, so he was naturally full of joy, and immediately ordered the little guy to go to Baiweiju, which is run by the Yun family, to set up a table to celebrate.

Before going out, Yun Jichen's little girl got all kinds of instructions from a few big girls, and when he saw that the second son had left the matter of picking up his sister-in-law, he left it behind. No matter what the second son is, at most he will be counted down by the old man and the lady, and those of them who follow will be miserable, and it will be light to beat the board if they can't get it.

Yes, seeing the second son's face of joy and excitement, they could only have the courage to remind the second son: "Second son, today the eldest grandmother is returning home with the two little sons, didn't Mrs. ask the second son to go home earlier?" ”

Yun Jichen was slightly stunned, his brows immediately wrinkled, thinking about his sister-in-law following his eldest brother to take office, it would be two years to go, before he went, the eldest nephew was still in infancy, and now, it is said that even the little nephew is about to run away...... Although the sister-in-law is average, the two nephews make him quite concerned.

Although the little servant lowered his voice when he spoke, Liao Wenqing and Qiu Chen also saw a general idea from the expressions of the master and servant.

Liao Wenqing smiled and said: "If the second son has something to do, just go, anyway, with Lin Niangzi here, I can be regarded as a treat!" ”

Yun Jichen didn't expect that Liao San was still calculating a meal at this time, and couldn't help but cry and laugh and pointed at Liao Wenqing and shook his head, he really couldn't find anything to say, so he simply turned to Qiu Chen and said: "I originally wanted to celebrate together, but after being reminded by the little girl, Yun Er remembered that before going out, my mother had instructed me to pick up my sister-in-law and nephew who had returned home at the dock......"

"The second son doesn't have to be polite, since we cooperate, we will have the opportunity to celebrate again in the future. And Grandma Yun traveled long distances and was tired from the journey, so it was a matter of time for Yun Er Gongzi to go to the dock to pick up talents! Although the second son of Yun goes, I still live in the Yunlai Inn, and when the second son is busy with all the things in the house, let's get together again, discuss the details properly, sign the deed, and start production this morning. ”

Yun Er naturally agreed without hesitation, and bowed his hand to Qiu Chen and Liao Wenqing again, and then took the little servant downstairs.

For more than an hour, Cheng Zhishen's clothes had already dried, and when he heard Yun Ergongzi say goodbye and leave, he also heard the sound and said goodbye to Qiu Chen and Liao Wenqing, and went with Yun Ergongzi. When he walked down the stairs, Yun Jichen suddenly remembered, looked Cheng Zhishen up and down for a while, and then sighed: "There are really no traces, it's really incredible!" ”

Cheng Zhishen also smiled and said: "The second son has never seen it in person just now, and this ...... 'soap' taken out by Lin Niangzi is not only superb, but also has a fragrance after washing, and it is worse than washing with bath beans...... In this way, not only does it save the trouble of incense, but the same piece of clothing can be worn for many more days. ”

Yun Er Gongzi nodded again and again, raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, opened his mouth, and said, "Lin Niangzi, I don't know when our soap will be made?" ”

Qiu Chen could see that Yun Er Gongzi also wanted to try it himself, but the soap she made this time was limited, and she made some soap, but those things that were fragrant and tasteless could only be used to wash clothes, and Yun Er Gongzi would not be interested in it, so Qiu Chen also said truthfully: "After the funds are in place, we must first buy land and build a factory, well, it will be a month before the official production." ”

Yun Er Gongzi nodded a little disappointed, so he stopped talking about this topic, took the reins of the horse handed by the little guy, turned over on the horse, and said goodbye to Liao Wenqing and Qiu Chen on the horseback, surrounded by all the guards and the little guy, and roared.

Liao Wenqing's little servant frankincense was myrrh, and he came from nowhere at this time, and when he saw Qiu Chen, he showed a look of surprise, and then he rushed forward to say hello, and Qiu Chen also greeted him with a smile.

After negotiating a soap cooperation business with the Yun family and the Liao family, Qiu Chen naturally didn't need to buy a shop anymore.

Liao Wenqing proposed to go to Baiweiju for dinner, but Qiu Chen did not refuse, and took the children happily.

Baiweiju is worthy of being the largest restaurant in Anyang Mansion, with five floors of wooden buildings, and it is also the tallest building in the entire Anyang City, except for the iron tower.

Liao Wenqing must have been coming and going often, and he was very familiar with the shopkeeper of Baiweiju, and directly asked for the top floor of the fifth floor. After running up to the fifth floor, he went straight to the fence along the street, carefully holding on to the fence and looking downstairs in the distance, his little faces were flushed with excitement, which made Qiu Chen happy and worried, and hurriedly asked Junwen to come forward to take care of it, Liao Wenqing also sent frankincense myrrh to take care of it, Qiu Chen was slightly relieved.

A meal is naturally full of delicacies, Junwen is just fine, Junyan Junzhang Afu Aman just drank tea and ate snacks in the teahouse, his stomach is not hungry, and he has not eaten much of this table full of delicacies. Qiu Chen also eats very casually, and he doesn't eat too many bites or two of what he likes to eat, but Liao Wenqing gives her vegetables from time to time, while introducing the source of the food...... Qiu Chen listened with a smile and didn't make a fuss.

Modern people's dining tables have long broken the geographical restrictions, as long as there are conditions, a table can be placed on a table with a variety of specialties from seven continents and four oceans, and these traditional dishes are naturally not a problem. Although Qiu Chen said that he hadn't eaten much, he had always seen it on the TV network, so it was not new.

Liao Wenqing only felt that Lin Niangzi should be like this, and her eyes were full of haode. But the two little guys of frankincense and myrrh were secretly surprised when they watched from the side, this Lin lady was so calm, was she ignorant and unconscious, or did she understand but didn't care at all? In any case, this is not like the insight of a peasant woman who came out of a mountain village!

After eating a meal, although there is not much excitement and joy, it can be regarded as full of tea and food, and the guests and hosts are happy.

A few people were full, Liao Wenqing waved his hand, and took a few dishes that he hadn't eaten much to frankincense and myrrh to eat, and the others let the restaurant guys withdraw, and replaced them with haode Longjing before the rain.

Qiu Chen held the teacup, lowered his eyes and looked at the green tea of Tang Bi, admiring the young tea buds floating and sinking in the cup, and the nose was naturally rich with a faint and distant tea fragrance, after a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Liao Wenqing and said: "Since I am doing business in partnership with the second son of Yun, I don't know the birthday of the old lady of the Yun family, what birthday gift should I give?" ”

Liao Wenqing waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "I have already prepared the birthday gift, and when the time comes, it will be only indicated on the gift list that it was sent by the Liao Lin family together." ”

Qiu Chen shook his head and said, "Although it is a business cooperation, this birthday gift cannot be like this. ”

Liao Wenqing saw that she objected, and wanted to say something to persuade her, but was stopped by Qiu Chen directly waving his hand. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before she spoke: "The three of us are in a cooperative business, and I represent the Lin family, not to mention, in the future, the Lin family may have to use the Yun family when!" ”

It's not that you can't say you know, but you will definitely use it! Because, the reason why she entered the city to seek cooperation with the Yun family was to use the Yun family to resist the third son of Tongzhi.

With a somewhat self-defeating smile, Qiu Chen waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'll figure this matter out myself." Simply, the Lin family is not an important family, and this gift is just a heart! ”

Looking at the faint loneliness on the face of the Lin family's lady, Liao Wenqing couldn't help but clench his hands, feeling pity in his heart, but only deep powerlessness.

The Liao family is just a merchant, and the only things that can be bought with gold and silver can be obtained...... It is still the lady of the Lin family who sees it thoroughly, the old lady of the Yun family celebrates her birthday, and these merchants come to celebrate her birthday, but they are just marginal personnel, and the only people who really value hospitality are those eunuchs.

The meal was very harmonious and warm, even if the topic of zuihou was a little defeated, it was quickly overturned by Qiu Chen and Liao Wenqing tacitly.

After lunch, Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman are used to taking a nap, now that they have met Yun Er Gongzi today, and even the basic framework of cooperation has been discussed, Qiu Chen and his party have nothing to do outside, so they simply beckoned Junwen to bring the two children, and went to the street to find the two sedan chairs and turn back to the Yunlai Inn first.

Qiu Chen followed Liao Wenqing to the Rejuvenation Hall of Anyang Mansion, bought some medicinal materials for making cough and asthma pills, and entrusted them to the guys in the Rejuvenation Hall to crush them and send them to the Yunlai Inn.

Coming out of the Rejuvenation Hall, Qiu Chen said goodbye to Liao Wenqing.

Although he felt that the time for getting together was too short and he was a little reluctant, Liao Wenqing really couldn't find any excuse to follow him again, so he had to take the two little guys back in disappointment.

After resigning from Liao Wenqing, Qiu Chen went to a spice shop to buy a few kinds of haode spices, and also went to the Yun family's north and south goods store, bought a few bottles of fragrance from abroad, and then went to the porcelain shop and bought five or six haode blue and white thin-necked bottles, all of which were only the size of eggs.

The next day, early in the morning, Junwen followed Qiu Chen's instructions and set up a car to return to Anping County.

Qiu Chen took Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman to stay in the inn and did not go out. In the evening, Junwen turned around and brought back more than a dozen copper buckle boxes. Qiu Chen took it in his hand and played with it carefully, looking at the smooth and delicate edge of the buckle box, as well as the delicate pattern of saving flowers, he couldn't help but sigh again and again, the handicraft skills of craftsmen in this era are really amazing!

In the next day, it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Yun family.

On the back street of the government, not a single grass was cleaned a day in advance, and the street was splashed with clean water in the evening to suppress the very little floating dust. On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, early in the morning, the streets behind the government began to be busy. First of all, all kinds of miscellaneous servants and stewards went in and out, busy buying things, arranging opera troupes, rapping ancestors and other affairs, and then the sedan entourage of various prefectures came to congratulate them on their birthdays, which blocked the wide back street of the government office.

In the midst of the busy crowding, the little servant of Yun Ergongzi, who got the letter yesterday, waited at the West Street entrance of the back street of the government early, seeing that the guests were flocking to him, and the people who were waiting safely had not yet appeared, and he inevitably muttered a little in his heart. Could it be that the family has forgotten the hour? Or did you say something wrong?

Just as he was pondering, a carriage tried to come from a distance, but it did not come up to the back street of the palace, but only stopped on the side of the road across the street.

A young man in short dress jumped out of the carriage, holding a carved box of red acid branches in his hand, and hurried across the street towards Ping'an.

"I've kept you waiting!" Junwen smiled and bowed, and then held the box in both hands and sent it to Ping'an.

After a careful look, Ping'an recognized that this young man was not the one who followed Lin Niangzi that day, saying that Lin Niangzi's own nephew came!

Stretched out his hand to take the wooden box, Ping'an didn't dare to hold it up, and bowed down again and again: "Don't dare to be a nephew and young master say that...... Why, hasn't Mrs. Lin come yet? ”

Junwen said with a smile: "Please also ask Brother Ping'an to go back and tell the second son, our aunt and nephew have been out for four or five days, and the workshop at Ming'er's house is about to start, and we must rush back as soon as possible today, so I can't go to your mansion to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and please forgive the second son!" ”

Seeing Junwen drive all the way north, he disappeared around the corner of the street, and Ping'an hurried back to Yunfu with the box.

On this day, Mrs. Yun received countless birthday gifts, such as jade Buddha, golden Buddha, all kinds of exquisite embroidery, official kiln porcelain, mountain lake pearl agate...... The list goes on, but Old Madam Yun doesn't care. However, Yun Ergongzi's friend sent a box of fragrant porcelain vases and copper buckle boxes, which made Mrs. Yun overjoyed, and praised them again and again for a long time.

Qiu Chen and his entourage left Anyang Mansion and hurried all the way, and when they arrived at Anping City, it was only the end of the day.

Qiu Chen took four small ones to find a food shop to sit down and rest and ask for food, and Junwen went to Pan Jiaqing's house and reported a letter, they will go back today, tomorrow Dragon Boat Festival, and on the sixth day of the fifth month, they will come to pick up Pan Jiaqing to go to Liujiaao.

××××××××××

Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei straightened their backs and walked up to the sound of galloping horses' hooves, others may not be able to see any clues, but they themselves know that this time they will probably never go back.

The horse team came very fast, and it didn't take the two of them to go far, but after a hundred and ten steps, in the darkness, a column of black-clad and black-armored cavalry was already coming.

In the dark, the horse's hooves were like thunder and angry waves, which made Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei's ears tremble, and he couldn't tell the number of horses at all, so he could only stop to stabilize his legs, which could barely stand.

The black-clothed and black-armored cavalry arrived in a moment, but they were extremely well trained, and the horses suddenly separated more than 20 steps in front of Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei, and went straight around Liao Hai and the two of them, and went straight to the caravan behind them.

Li Zhenbei's heart shook, but he still couldn't help shouting: "A certain is Li Zhenbei, the head of the North Dart Bureau in Anyang Town, who is also known as the Cloud Piercing Gun, I don't know what department you belong to?" Why raid us? ”

Li Zhenbei paid attention to the sound sent out by the internal force, loud as a bell, even if the horse's hooves were like thunder, he still guaranteed that the striker would be able to hear it clearly. But Li Zhenbei shouted several times in succession, but the black-clothed and black-armored people on the opposite side seemed to be deaf and dumb, and did not respond to his shouting in the slightest, still like flowing water, scattered in front of them on both sides, until they went around to the caravan's station, and quickly surrounded the caravan, including vehicles, horses, goods, etc.

"Lao Li, don't shout, it's useless!" Liao Hai heard Li Zhenbei shouting many times, and his voice gradually became hoarse, but the other party turned a deaf ear to his own way, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, raised his hand to hold Li Zhenbei's arm, and stopped him from shouting again.

Li Zhenbei suddenly turned his head and stared at Liao Hai through the darkness, as if he was unwilling: "You and I will die if we die, but what about the dozens of people in the caravan?" And the brothers who came all the way with me......"

Liao Hai shook his head, but his eyes did not look at Li Zhenbei, but instead paid close attention to the actions of the black-clothed cavalry opposite, and said in a low voice: "They didn't do it as soon as they met, I, I always felt that there seemed to be no malicious ......"

"No, malicious?" Li Zhenbei repeated Liao Hai's words in disbelief, and his heart was abrupt, and at the same time he turned his head and stared at the black-clothed cavalry to observe.

Soon, the cavalry completed the encirclement of the caravan garrison in two ways, and then, without Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei waiting, just opposite the two of them, the black-clothed cavalry suddenly separated to both sides, and then, at the gap that was opened, a group of people on horseback slowly walked over.

Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei just watched silently, at first glance, they didn't see any clues, but after a careful look, the two noticed a group of people who came out of the back of the team, led by a group of people in black clothes and black armor, but they wore steel helmets and big hats, although they were black armor, they were obviously much better than the armor of those people before, even in the dark night, a cluster of red tassels on the top of the other party's helmet was still very eye-catching!

This kind of dress, at worst, has to be a four-rank general!

Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei saw the difference almost at the same time, and while their hearts were shaking, they subconsciously glanced at each other, and they both saw a faint hope in their hearts.

If the previous cavalry was black-clothed and black-armoured, the general's dress was so formal, it was not something that a horse bandit like Manyun could have. Not to mention the Rong people of the Northern Clan, they are not dressed like this!

This is the army of the Ming Dynasty!

When the two of them were thinking quickly, the person led by the other party had already taken a few steps forward with the horse, until they reached more than ten steps in front of Li Zhenbei and Liao Hai, before they grabbed the reins of the horse and said in a deep voice: "You are from the Zhenbei Dart Bureau?" Whose cargo is being escorted? ”

Liao Hai stabilized his mind, stepped forward and bowed down and said: "General Hui inquired, the next is the steward of the Liao family's Huichun Hall, who is responsible for escorting military medicinal materials to Huairong this time." ”

"Oh, the Liao family of the Rejuvenation Hall?" The other party didn't seem surprised, and repeated, but suddenly changed the topic and asked in a cold voice, "Since you are from Anyang Mansion to Huairong, why didn't you take the official road of the West Road, but you just appeared here?" ”

Liao Hai bowed, glanced at Li Zhenbei slightly, and was about to speak, but Li Zhenbei took a step forward and said loudly: "General Hui, just because bandits are rampant in Yanyun Mountain, I will wait to eat the bowl of rice with darts, and when I am unable to resist, I have to take out the silver money and distribute it to those mountain bandits." There are many hills on both sides of the official road in the west, and the money to buy the road is sent over by one family, which is really unaffordable, so I discussed with the chief steward of the Liao family and walked this relatively hidden valley. It's just that I didn't expect that when I was about to get out of the valley, I still didn't get rid of the ambush of the mountain bandits...... Fortunately, the brothers also left their hands behind, and fought bravely, although they broke a dozen brothers, they finally broke out of a bloody way and escaped with their lives......"

"Oh? Is it really you? With such a question, the general on the other side suddenly jumped off the horse, strode up to Li Zhenbei and Liao Hai, circled around the two twice, and said hehe, "Cloud piercing gun?" It's just a fight with your body, but with his small body, he is still fighting? He couldn't stop him even if a horse bandit rushed over...... Well, I've been to that valley mouth, and there are no less than a hundred dead bodies there...... I only saw that some of the horse bandits had been killed by crossbow arrows, a few were killed by knives and guns, and some of them were mutilated and even half of their bodies were missing...... Tell me, what did you do? ”

These words were like thunder in the ears of Li Zhenbei and Liao Hai, and they shocked the two more than the sound of galloping horses' hooves before.

However, these two people have gone through some battles, and although they are shocked beyond measure, they are finally not completely messed up. The two bowed and still looked at each other subconsciously, Liao Hai calmed down for a while, tried his best to stabilize his voice and said: "What the general said is the truth, but, dare to show the name of the general, and determine the identity of the general, before he can answer the general's question!" ”

The black-clothed general on the opposite side seemed to be quite surprised, and was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst out with a burst of daxiao.

“haha…… You guys, it's okay, it's good! After two specious compliments in a row, the black-clothed general took a step forward, pulled Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei straight up one by one, but did not let go, directly pulled the two people, and walked straight to the garrison of the Huichun Hall caravan.

After not taking two steps, the black-clothed general paused again, and casually ordered: "Okay, the order is to dismount and rest." Assign down, according to the guards, the rest of the people bury the pot to cook, let's eat and camp here, and then set off in the morning! ”

"Yes!" The sound of the bang sounded in unison, and without Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei looking back, they could hear it by their voices, and the cavalry behind and around them immediately dismounted and rested after receiving the order. There was also a group of cavalry that did not dismount, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, thinking that the scouts sent by the army had gone out to patrol and guard.

Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei were pulled by the black-clothed general, and they were puzzled, but they didn't dare to resist, so they could only follow closely and soon returned to the camp of the people of the Rejuvenation Hall. Walking closer, looking at the black pressure of horses and vehicles and the people sitting on the ground, obviously frightened, the black-clothed general spoke again, but asked, "Didn't you say that the Lin family also sent someone to accompany you?" Where is it? ”

"General ......" As soon as they heard about the Lin family, Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei immediately thought of the 'firecrackers' that this person had asked before, and Liao Hai subconsciously wanted to cover it up.

Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu, who were sitting in the crowd, both heard this, and neither of them hesitated, and stood up almost at the same time.

The difference is that at the same time that Yang Shu got up suddenly, he pressed one hand on Lin Xu's shoulder, and pressed it almost with all his strength, which suddenly made Lin Xu, who wanted to get up, sit back again.

Before Lin Xu struggled to get up again, Yang Shumeng had already strode towards the crowd, and as he walked, he raised his voice and said, "I don't know who is looking for the Lin family?" In Xia Yangshumeng, it is the Lin family who went north with the caravan this time, I don't know if Your Excellency has any advice for our Lin family? ”

Yang Shumeng doesn't know a lot of words, and when it comes to knowledge, he is just a carriage that has been driven for many years, and he has never seen any big battles. However, at this time, his somewhat nondescript words made Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei embarrassed at the same time.

A simple man who drives a big car is much more decisive and brave than the two of them who think they have passed through the wind and waves! More like a man than they are!

The black-clothed general listened to Yang Shumeng's obviously disrespectful words, but seemed to be quite agreeable, instead of blaming the other party for the disrespect in his words, he casually sprinkled Li Zhenbei and Liao Hai, haha smiled and said: "Yang Shumeng? You are the maiden brother of the Lin family, right? ”

"Yes, I'm the second child of the Yang family!" Yang Shumeng replied in a sullen voice.

"Oh, you can't go wrong! Who else is there besides you who is following the Rejuvenation Hall caravan north this time? As the black-clothed general spoke, Yang Shumeng had already walked out of the crowd and was dragged by the black-clothed general, "It is said that the second child of the Lin family also came?" ”

Yang Shumeng looked at the general who was talking to himself, and he inevitably had some doubts in his heart, this person ...... Why doesn't it look like a general? Aren't the generals all cold-faced and silent, and cherish words like gold?

Seeing that Yang Shu tilted his head to look at him, but did not answer, the black-clothed general pulled Yang Shu and turned around sharply and walked to the other side, a fire made by the soldiers.

Walking to the side of the fire, the black-clothed general pulled the poplar tree and sat down on the spot, and then, the black-clothed general took off his helmet, grinned with white teeth, and said with a smile: "You haven't seen me, you don't know, I once went to Lin's house for a meal!" ”
