In Jinan Mansion under the rule of the Tartars, Li Shiyi and others had already arrived outside the mountain, unlike the last time, this time they brought more than 30 people, which surprised the Han army colonel who came to pick them up.

"There are family members behind, I have to add more people, and there is a big gift to accompany me, this way, it is not very peaceful, without their help, I can't get here."

Li Shiyi's explanation is still credible, in the north, he replied to the dress of a rich businessman, as the chief steward of the Xie family, the most trusted person of the second brother of the Xie Mansion, even ordinary Mongolians will not embarrass him, how can such a character not have a woman.

Naturally, this so-called family member is taken care of by Zhao Yue'e, fortunately, the two have already been regarded as having a marriage contract, although it is not in line with the etiquette, no one will put a beak, after all, it is a marriage that has experienced turmoil, and everyone hopes for a good ending.

"There are rules in the mountains, you can't enter so many people, please forgive the shopkeeper."

The colonel looked at the convoy behind him, shook his head and said, not only the number of people, the mountain road is very narrow, and those big cars can't pass at all, not to mention that there are female dependents among them.

"It's okay, if you go into the mountain with a gift, four or five people are enough."

Hearing this number, Xiao Xiao was no longer surprised, since it was a big gift, the weight must not be small, and someone needed to move it, which was reasonable. But when the gift was brought out, the little colonel clearly saw that the sack was wriggling, and at such a length, what was contained in it was immediately ready to be revealed.

"Even so, I have to offend like last time."

Xiao Xiao took out a few strips of cloth, they have enough characters, they don't need the help of outsiders, Li Shiyi took it, distributed it to a few people who entered the mountain, and was about to tie it up by himself, when he found a small figure mixed in.

"Sister Pheasant, it's not clear whether this trip is friend or foe, you take these brothers to guard outside the mountain, and Yue'e has to entrust it to you, isn't that good? There's a stockade there, and there's not much to see. ”

"What the hell, hurry up and tie it up for me."

The pheasant slave turned a deaf ear to Li Shiyi's defense, and she didn't come to play, since she had something to do, how could she let it go. Besides, she was also a little curious, and went to great lengths to tie up a Tartar official, just so that Baba had to be sent to this mountain? There must be something mysterious in it.

Yue'e, dressed as a Northland Han woman, had already jumped out of the carriage, although she had the same curiosity, but she knew that it was impossible for her to follow, and that would only become a burden. Before Li Shiyi blindfolded, he gave her a reassuring look as she leaned on the side of the carriage, and she also smiled back a shallow smile.

Since he didn't listen, he let it go, judging from his experience last time, even if he couldn't be convinced, those people in the mountains would not harm them. What's more, this time he also brought gifts, in addition to the sack containing the person was carried by two men, another long box was also carried out of the cart by two people.

The mountain road is rugged, the forest is deep and the road is narrow, and after walking around for a long time, it is difficult to stop, take off the strip of cloth that covers the face, and see that the valley is still so peaceful, the farmer is waiting in the field for the grain to be harvested, the woman is weaving cloth or washing clothes by the well, and a group of weeping boys are playing in the clearing, like a paradise.

The pheasant slave was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him, but he didn't expect that there would be such a pleasant small village in a mountain nest. It looked like they had been in business for many years, and it was impossible for it to be built overnight, and it wasn't long before an old man came out surrounded by him, the same one he had seen last time.

"I heard that the distinguished guest is here again, I wonder if Zheng didn't make it clear last time?"

Zheng Deyan glanced at them, then at the sacks and wooden boxes that were placed on the ground, and asked with a faint expression.

"Zheng Gong's words, Li didn't dare to forget a little, this time I came, but I heard that Gong's birthday is approaching, and I sent some small things to make a smile, and I had no other intention."

"Shanye contempt, I can't call it a prince, but how did you know about this lifespan. Needless to say, it must have been told by Lin Xiaozi, since he came, he was a distinguished guest, please come into the house and serve tea. ”

Zheng Deyan did not refuse people thousands of miles away, people came from afar, made it clear that it was a birthday, and stretched out his hand not to call the gift-giver. He also took a look, what did the Song people want to use to impress him, and who was the person in this sack? As for the wealth, it really didn't put it in his heart.

The wooden house was not very big, and Li Shiyi only brought one person in, and this place was naturally snatched up by the pheasant slave. Zheng Deyan glanced at her, slightly stunned, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"I didn't look at it carefully last time, but when I saw it today, there was quite a lot of weather in the valley, but this place was too close to Jinan Mansion. The Tartars can't spare their hands now, once they get Jiangnan, they don't know if they will send troops to suppress them, at that time, what does Uncle Zheng want? ”

"He is a man who escaped death, and he lives every day, if he comes, it will be a big deal. Can your court be counted on if it can't be expected? ”

Zheng Deyan's opening remarks are not without irony, although this is also the truth, but at least now he can survive peacefully, if he follows the meaning of this Song man, wouldn't he want to hit the stone with an egg and kill himself early?

"A certain person came here, not on the orders of the imperial court, nor did he have any promise of an official and a half-position, every qiē was planned by my master, and what he did was not to recruit you and others, so Uncle Zheng doesn't need to worry."

"Your master? This is strange, what is his purpose in looking for someone Zheng, wanting to buy this wild goods in the mountains? Or go into the mountains to see the scenery. ”

The credit of the Great Song Dynasty was bankrupt in front of him, Li Shiyi simply made it clear, Zheng Deyan was suddenly interested, what kind of person would want to buy people like them, what did he want to do?

"Don't hide it from Uncle Zheng, the Tartar is about to go south, I believe you have received the wind. Jingdong will be extremely empty in the world, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My lord doesn't ask you for anything, as long as Uncle Zheng is still an unwilling man, he will naturally know what to do, and if you have ideas, my lord will not hesitate to help. ”

This news is not surprising, Zheng Deyan is in this situation, and he does not dare to relax for a moment in the collection of outside news. If there is any movement in Jinan City, he will be able to get it after an hour at the latest, so the Tatar conscription and grain conscription, and the transfer of the troops of Yidu and Dongping to the front line of Xuzhou to assemble are all news that he has received a long time ago.

The words of this Song man in front of him are also very straightforward, encouraging him to go out of the mountain, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Tartar army to plot again, at this moment his long-lost blood is indeed a little surging, no one wants to die silently in the mountains and forests, especially this qiē depends on whether the Tartars are willing or not.

But thinking of what happened in the past, his heart went cold again, and the Song people were the most unexpected. When he was young, he was fine, and if he had a little momentum, he would definitely be suspicious, weakened, and even suppressed by force, and those were all bloody lessons, which were never erased in his heart.

What kind of master, which Song people will have that kind of vision, and which Song people will have that kind of financial resources, left and right are just tricks. Once he is tempted, there will be no less when the time comes, Zheng Deyan's expression is flat, and there is no change on his face.

"Your lord thinks highly of Zheng, but he is still breathing, a farmer in the mountains and wilderness, and the matter of using knives and guns has long been gone. When you come from afar, I will call you Uncle Zheng again, let's leave after dinner, take those things away, Zheng didn't think about any birthday, let you run for nothing, I'm sorry. ”

Obviously, he was already a little moved, and suddenly said such a clear refusal, Li Shiyi knew that he was still deeply taboo about his identity, and now the only thing that could dispel his concerns was what he brought.

"Since Uncle Zheng said so, he no longer insists on it, but the things have been brought, there is no reason to bring them back, and he dares to guarantee that one of them will definitely be able to meet your liking, how about a look?"

originally wanted to see what the Song people wanted to use to impress him, but when Li Shiyi said this, Zheng Deyan didn't shirk anymore, but he just glanced left and right, whether it was in line with his heart or not, didn't he still have the final say.

"Before opening it, there was a reluctant request, and I hope Uncle Zheng will agree."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

The two walked out of the house, Li Shiyi looked at the sack on the ground, and suddenly asked.

"This thing must be taken out in a suitable place, so as to show a certain sincerity, and a certain look around, only that prescription can be."

The place Li Shiyi was referring to was another wooden house, Zheng Deyan's face sank when he saw it, that room he had brought this person in last time, it was not a place in the valley that could be broken into at will, and Li Shiyi's expression was also very firm, it was absolutely necessary.

"Please."

Zheng Deyan made a gesture, and the two subordinates raised the sack and followed, and the pheasant slave had never entered, and followed curiously. As soon as she stepped through the door, she was taken aback, and there were so many wooden signs that it occupied the whole room.

"Is that okay?"

He asked in a deep voice, he had made so many demon moths, if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, he wouldn't agree.

"Uncle Zheng, why don't you come by yourself."

Li Shiyi also made a gesture of please, and the Han army colonel who followed behind Zheng Deyan wanted to step forward when he heard this, but he grabbed him. Zheng Deyan squatted down and slowly untied the rope, revealing a head tied in a Han bun, his mouth was stuffed with a rag, and his eyes were terrified.

"You, you are Yan Zhongfan!"

"It's like a fake."

Li Shiyi stepped forward and added softly in his ear, it was in vain that they had worked hard in vain, looking at Zheng Deyan's excited expression, this gift was well deserved. The latter, apparently, had not yet recovered from what he had seen, and his finger trembled at the man underground.
