After Zhao Chongyi and his wife made a round of purchases, they saluted more. Facing this hill-like specialty. The husband and wife discussed it.

Chen Wenhui said: "Although the injuries of our wounded have stabilized a lot in the past few days, especially those who are seriously injured have been out of danger, their combat strength has definitely been affected. We once again mobilized people from outside the Lingnan Mountains, and when we thought about it, we had already arrived in Shaocheng, and even if we arrived in Guangzhou City, it would only take two or three days. The palace banquet scheduled for tomorrow has also been delayed, and it will be at least seven days before we want to enter the palace again, so it is better for us to take advantage of this time and send half of our men to send the goods and the wounded out. In this way, we can do things without worries. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said, "That's fine, after seven days, our new guards will be able to reach Guangzhou City, and our combat power will be the strongest." If you let the caravan set off tomorrow, you will be able to reach Shaocheng in seven days. Let's send a message to the army outside the Lingnan Mountain Range, and let them sneak into the Lingnan Mountain Range quietly, so that if something happens, they can immediately rush into Shaocheng to respond. We don't have to worry about it at all. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Fortunately, when I went out of Beijing, I told the prince. The prince gave you a talisman to mobilize the army in Jiangnan, otherwise, it would be really dangerous. Who would have thought that we would encounter an attack on Princess Ram? Who would have thought that the treasure was actually hidden in the royal palace? Now our worst enemies are the queen of the palace and the people of the Blue Clan. Hey, the two major forces in southern Xinjiang are our enemies, and it's really hard to deal with. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "Yes, at the banquet these days. I can already tell from these people that the Blue Clan doesn't like us. I think it's going to give us a dismount. Moreover, we are so wanton that we have swept up the goods, and our wealth has been exposed, and the Lan clan will not let us go whether it is for the sake of face, revenge, or money. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "They may already be preparing to kill people and seize treasures." The queen will naturally take care of us. Then they will definitely put the battle in Shaocheng or the Lingnan Mountain Range. The Lingnan Mountains are likely to be the largest. We have also walked through the Lingnan Mountains, and there are countless bandits. In such a situation, our caravan was robbed and killed. The Blue Clan can be pushed on the head of the bandits. They can safely pocket our wealth. ”

Zhao Chongyi sneered and said, "They don't come to offend us." I want to get revenge on them. They have injured many of our brothers along the way, can this revenge not be avenged? It just so happens that our cargo is used as bait for them to follow into the Lingnan Mountains. There we lay an ambush and an army was waiting for them. Give them a look at it. Hum. Kill their blue arrogance. Avenge our wounded guards as well. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay." Just let these Lan people who don't know the height of the sky know the strength of our Great Chu army. ”

When Zhao Chongyi heard this, the faces of the arrogant and arrogant Lan Clan people he had met at the banquet in the past few days flashed in his mind, and he sneered. These Lan people are really annoying, and they don't know how thick the sky is. It is often said at the banquet that the Qin people are incompetent and cowardly, and the internal fighting of the Great Chu is continuous, but the Baiyi people in southern Xinjiang, especially the Lan people, are brave and prosperous, and now is the opportunity to attack the Chu people in the north.

I have heard too many such remarks, how could Zhao Chongyi, who is a famous general of Dachu, not have anger in his heart. Even Chen Wenhui was also holding back the fire in his belly, feeling that these Lan people were really more disgusting and arrogant than the natives he met in Nanyang, and they were even more obscene than a certain Sun Country in his previous life. It would be a good thing to have a chance to teach these Lans a lesson.

In addition, for the sake of Great Chu, Southern Xinjiang has not accepted the real rule of Great Chu, which is also a problem of Great Chu. Southern Xinjiang is easier to handle than the barbarians, if you can eliminate the population of the Baiyi people in southern Xinjiang, especially the combat power, it is really a very good thing for Dachu. Especially the Lan Clan, if they can eliminate the living force of the Lan Clan, these Lan people will not dare to jump anymore.

The next day, Zhao Chongyi asked the Queen's protection from Che Jim, the chief steward of the Fuji Clan Trading House, because he wanted to transport the southern Xinjiang specialties purchased by the Zhao family's caravan back to Dachu in advance.

Che Jim didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went into the palace to report to the queen. The queen groaned, approved Zhao Chongyi's request, and sent a pair of royal guards to protect the Zhao family's caravan.

In this way, Zhao Chongyi and his wife, in full view of everyone, loaded the specialties purchased by the caravan into the carriages with great fanfare, and marched towards Shaocheng. The royal escort will escort the Zhao caravan across Shaocheng to the Lingnan Mountains. That was the end of the southern Xinjiang sphere of influence.

At the gate of the city, many ordinary people and dignitaries came to see the excitement, and when they saw the caravan carriage that could not be seen at a glance, they were also shocked by the generosity of the Zhao family's caravan. In the crowd, the chief steward of the Miao Ren Commercial Bank asked Zhao Chongyi: "Steward Zhao, why do you have to transport the goods back to Dachu so quickly?" ”

Zhao Chongyi saw that the people of the Lan clan in the crowd were interested in approaching here, so he said: "Although our husband and wife are here to do business, they are also here to travel. Now, we have purchased so many things, it can be said that we have made a bumper harvest, and if we return to Dachu with our husband and wife in the future, it will inevitably drag down our trip. So, we husband and wife summed it up and let the goods go first. My husband and wife will have to play in southern Xinjiang for a while longer. My guards can only divide half of their men to escort this caravan, and the remaining half of them will follow us and my wife to play in southern Xinjiang. ”

The chief steward of the Miao Ren Commercial Bank didn't expect Zhao Chongyi to say in such detail, and looked at Zhao Chongyi a little strangely.

Zhao Chongyi regarded as the chief steward of the Miao people trading house who did not understand it, and continued: "Also, you know, this time we encountered an attack on the way here, and many of the guards were seriously injured, and we also want to take this opportunity to send the wounded back to Dachu for treatment." ”

The chief steward of the Miao Ren Commercial Bank was silent, looking at Zhao Chongyi with some concern. The chief steward of Yiren Commercial Bank, who had only a relationship with Zhao Chongyi, came over and asked with a smile: "Steward Zhao is really a good master who loves his subordinates." It's just that if you send the wounded back to Dachu like this, isn't there no one around to protect you, how dangerous is that? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "No, so, I asked the queen to send an escort team to protect my caravan, as for my guards, most of them stayed in case of accidents, after all, compared to people, money is naturally nothing." ”

The chief steward of the Yiren Commercial Bank was busy praising him, but his eyes flickered and he looked at the Lan people on the side. The chief steward of the Miao Ren Commercial Bank was very worried and said to Zhao Chongyi: "Steward Zhao, this is not the place to talk, it's better to follow me into the city and find a restaurant to eat." ”

Zhao Chongyi felt the kindness of the chief manager of the Miao Commercial Bank, and couldn't help but be a little happy, thinking that he must take more care of the Miao Commercial Bank in the future. His face was not shown at all, he laughed, and took Chen Wenhui and everyone into the city to have fun. The caravan was escorted by escorts and moved slowly.

In the headquarters of the Lan Clan, Lan Si and Lan Ling heard reports from their subordinates. Lan Ling chuckled, "What a good opportunity. Hmph, we originally thought that the guards of this Zhao family's caravan were too skilled. Without more than ten times the number of troops, it is really difficult to take. Then there are more than 100 guards in the Zhao family's caravan, so an army of more than 1,000 people is needed, preferably an army of 2,000 people. Our Lan clan can naturally have such a number of troops, but with such a large number of troop movements, it will not be easy to hide from the queen. ”

Lance nodded.

Lan Ling continued: "However, if we mobilize a thousand people, we still have this manpower. This time, the Zhao family firm committed suicide and actually broke up its guards. There are now more than 30 wounded in their caravan, and there are only about a dozen uninjured guards. At that time, all the goods they traded these days belonged to our Lan clan, haha, it was equivalent to looting the warehouses of the four major trading houses at once, which was really happy. ”

Lan Si frowned and said, "There is no problem in mobilizing a thousand people. However, you don't see that the queen escorted them and sent an elite palace guard, which is a large team of 2,000 people. Isn't it sent to death when a thousand of our men went? You can't take such a risk for money, right? ”

Lan Ling said disdainfully: "Patriarch, you are really stupid. The queen is protecting them, but where can the queen's escort go? At most, at the foot of the Lingnan Mountains. When they get there, the queen's escort is about to return to Guangzhou City, so what protects the Zhao family's caravan is those wounded guards plus more than a dozen elite guards, no matter how strong the martial arts are, they can beat the thousand warriors of our Lan clan? ”

Lan Si's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea." When the time comes, we will rob something, even if the news comes out, because it is the Zhao family caravan that suffers, not the four major trading houses, and the four major trading houses must have nothing to say. Even Steward Zhao, who is still in Guangzhou City, has no way, who let them be unlucky to meet the bandits of the Lingnan Mountains? Hahaha. ”

Lan Si and Lan Ling laughed happily.

Wu Lilan on the side said gloomily: "I want to let Steward Zhao be attacked on both sides." Our side is dealing with his caravan in the Lingnan Mountains, and in Guangzhou City, I still have to challenge Steward Zhao, it is best to kill him in the ring. Hmph, this is also a lesson for the four major commercial houses. ”

Lan Ling said happily, "Good idea." In this way, I ordered someone to put pressure on the queen, and let the Zhao family firm, which the queen forced, to go into the ring with you. Son, you must kill that Zhao steward in the ring, and let the queen see how stupid and weak the Chu people she values are. How strong and brave our Lan people are. ”

Wu Lilan smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
