"Ahh Only then did Zhu Ying exclaim in surprise, and grabbed Li Ruobing's arm tightly with both hands.

Li Ruobing also looked at the center of the field in surprise, Mo Qixing stood up as if nothing happened, and did not look at the struggling wild boar, strode up to the two, first greeted Li Ruobing, and then bowed to Zhu Ying and said: "Shangluo Mo Qi, Mrs. Mu is polite." Zhu Ying was shocked and a little dazed, hearing Mo Qi call herself "Mrs. Mu", so she saved Li Ruobing's pseudonym "Mu Ruoshui", and she was "Mrs. Mu", her heart swelled with sweetness, and she said: "Mr. Mo is blessed." ”

Seeing her dignified and generous demeanor, Mo Qi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he didn't expect to meet such a woman in Mobei.

He looked at Li Ruobing's eyes a little more clearly, such a beautiful person, no wonder he had to bring her all the way to reunite.

After saluting, the three of them walked together towards the open field below the valley.

By this time, the boar had fallen to the ground motionless, and the hound screamed and pounced on it, tearing at the boar's flesh.

It wasn't until they were driven away by the other hunters that the hounds ran to Mozzi's side again, wagging their tails around their master.

"Alright, alright!" One by one, Mozi patted the hounds rubbing against his trouser legs, and smiled, "Don't worry. ”

He confessed to Li Ruobing and the two, strode to the wild boar with the hunting dog, bent down and cut the belly of the wild boar with a dagger, not too dirty, and directly reached in to take out all the internal organs such as the pig's heart and pig liver and feed it to the hunting dog, the hunting dog screamed happily and surrounded it, leaving only a pair of wild boar stomach to cook pork belly soup on the spot for people to drink, not that he was reluctant, but particular, the stomach is a food pocket, and must not be abandoned or fed to the dog, all the stomachs of prey, people must eat them.

While the hunters continued to deal with their prey, Mo Qi returned to Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying.

"Seeing the joy of hunting, that's probably it," he rubbed his hands and smiled: "Let the two of you laugh and forgive your sins." ”

Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying were busy saying that it didn't have to be like this. Mozzi gave them a very strange feeling, he was in his thirties and forties, his face was weathered, but his muscles were strong and his spirit was very strong. It's just a businessman, but he takes a caravan all the year round, and likes to tame dogs to hunt, when he stands next to the prey, he reveals a kind of wildness similar to the barbarians of Mobei, and when he speaks, there is all the etiquette of the Central Plains, as if he is a cynical hermit, when his dark pupils look at each other, he looks like a real businessman. All in all, it's a guy who can't be seen through at a glance.

The Central Plains people who are roaming in Mobei are not idle people.

It was precisely because the Mo family's caravan was strong enough in Shifan Valley that Li Ruobing brought Zhu Ying to defect. The so-called gathering of like things, the people of the Mo family caravan gave Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying exactly the feeling that staying with them seemed to be closer to the Central Plains. Zhu Ying is a woman, just standing aside and watching the hunters feed the hounds with interest, if it weren't for the ferocity of these hounds, she would also want to touch their heads. Mo Qi was full of interest and asked Li Ruobing about the scenery in Beijing. Li Ruobing's eloquence was given, and he once worked in Duting Xiyi, and he was the most skillful in receiving people and things, which made Mo Qi feel that he was endless, and cleverly hid the real situation of the two in Shangjing.

"Brother Mu's letter from home last time, I have asked the caravan to bring it to Luoyang."

Li Ruobing's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly thanked him, this realm, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth ten thousand dollars.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Mo Qi shook his hand absently and said with a smile: "Brother Mu should think about it, why don't you just stay and do mink trading with us?" His voice, which became hoarse because of the perennial call for hounds, was particularly low when persuading others, with a strange temptation, "Mink fur is a thing that is more expensive than gold, I think Brother Mu is also a person with great ambitions, Mo Mou does not dare to let you live under the people for a long time, when do you want to stand on your own, our brothers are also good brothers." As long as you can collect the skins from Mobei, you can eat as many goods as you want from Ross and Lumei. Where can I get all the money over there? ”

"Mo Dong's family carries love," Li Ruobing said with a smile, "Didn't I come to the east to beg for a living?" ”

He vaguely avoided Mozzi's suggestion, and Mozzie heard it.

He was silent for a while, looked at Li Ruobing, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Mu, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, do you have anything to do with General Zhao of the Baoyi Marquis Mansion?" Li Ruobing asked him to bring a letter to Luoyang when he said that his sister was a maid in the Baoyi Marquis's mansion, and Mo Qi did not have him at that time, and Li Ruobing met this time, both of them had a calm atmosphere, and they seemed to be people who had seen the world, and he sincerely invited Li Ruobing to do the trade of leather goods, which was equivalent to pointing out the gold mine to him, if it was an ordinary person, he would never be unmoved, and Li Ruobing was still a light and breezy look, which made him suspicious.

"Brother Mo laughed, if there is such strong reinforcement," Li Ruobing smiled bitterly, "How could my wife and I end up in Mobei." ”

"Yes." Mo Qi patted his head and said with a smile, "Guess, guess, brother, don't blame." ”

When he looked back on it, he also felt that the guess just now was too boring.

Who is Zhao Baoyi? Even the Khitan Emperor had to avoid three points in front of him, a pair of children were still minors, and both the Song and Xia kingdoms were canonized. If this Mu brother really has anything to do with Zhao Baoyi, as he said, how can he be exiled to the Khitan tribe and fall to the point of temporarily sheltering himself. Even if he is a fine work sent by Zhao Baoyi to the Khitan, how could he go all the way to bring a lady who I see pity by his side. There are always some talented and arrogant people in this world, who don't want to live under others for a long time, if they regard these as having strong reinforcements behind them, it is inevitable that the amount is too small. Thinking of this, Mozi couldn't help but shake his head in annoyance.

When Li Ruobing saw his expression, he knew that he had temporarily covered up the past, and his heart was a little calmer.

Looking at Zhu Ying, who was helping to boil water to make pork belly soup not far away, Li Ruobing's eyes showed a touch of tenderness, he couldn't help but bow his head and groan, such a relationship between the two, whether in the Xia Kingdom or the Song Kingdom, once discovered, not only ruined his reputation, but also humiliated his family, and his father could never accept this daughter-in-law. The two of them were going to escape from the world, and it was impossible to borrow their former identities. Thinking about it this way, Mo Qi's suggestion just now is not a feasible plan to be a businessman who goes with the flow incognito.

............

After departing from Annam, the South China Sea Naval Division has been sailing along the coast to the west.

During the voyage, I saw the estuaries of several rivers and found some shoals and small fishing ports.

Because of the urgency of time, Zhao Xingde did not have time to send people ashore to check, nor did he enter the port to berth, but only ordered all ships to avoid the shallows and be careful of the reef. However, Tiangong seemed to be deliberately trying to make a difficult situation with man, the trade winds at the end of September were not very stable, and there were headwinds for several days, and the sailors had to sail against the wind all day long, and the merchant fleet complained because of the delay in sailing against the wind and the fact that they could not go ashore to trade at will, but Zhao Xingde did not change his mind and sailed until the port of Champong, before allowing the fleet to anchor in Zhancheng for two days, while replenishing fresh water for the fleet, and allowing the merchants to go ashore to trade and trade with the local merchants.

After the capture of the Annan royal family, the Dali Kingdom presented the above table of submission on behalf of the King of Zhancheng, and the Protectorate promised to retain the throne of the Champa Dynasty, but the Prime Minister's Office strongly advocated that the scope of the jurisdiction of the King of Zhancheng should be reduced, and gradually realize the transformation of the land and return to the flow in Dali and the city. Champa was the largest city in the south of Annam, and in the past, it was like a state within a country, but it was only forced to submit to Annam. When Dali and Annam were at war, the king of Champa also sent troops to attack Annam from the south to the north, although he was repeatedly defeated, but also won the sympathy of Dali.

The Southwest Sea Division passed through this place with the prestige of the great victory, and the king of Zhancheng was sincerely frightened, and personally visited Zhao Xingde with the officials.

At this time, a large number of merchants were still on their way from the interior, and both the king of Champa and the officials persuaded Zhao Xingde to stay in Champa for a few more days, giving these merchants a chance to trade, and also giving them a chance to get close to the ministers of the kingdom. The large-scale Song fleet has not been here for a long time, and the merchants in Zhancheng have already prepared a large number of treasures, and at this time they are competing to exchange the treasures such as ivory, rhino horn, agarwood, cinnamon, pepper, pearls, etc., which have been stored for a long time, for porcelain from Yuezhou, iron from Kaifeng, white cloth from Guanzhong, tea from Fujian, five-color satin, Huaxuan satin, variegated silk, Danshan brocade and so on from the southeast prefectures and counties.

Their kindness, but Zhao Xingde politely declined, he was sure that the Nanhai Navy Division would leave Zhancheng in two days. However, in response to the kindness of the king of Champong, Zhao Xingde promised to leave a dozen Song merchant ships to anchor at the port of Champong, and once the deal was completed, these merchant ships would return directly to the Song State. In order to protect the safety of merchant ships, he left behind several warships of the detachment. At the same time, Zhao Xingde chose a good port near the city to build a fort for the warships and merchant ships of the detachment to berth and pile up the goods coming and going. Because hundreds of warships of the Southwest Sea Division were moored in the port of Zhancheng, Zhao Xingde's kindness, the king of Zhancheng would not agree.

"You didn't see the face of the King of Champong, it's as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly."

Ma Yuan looked at the tents set up on the harbor and smiled, he drank the wine in his glass, and laughed three times.

"It's a pity," Feng Mi held his wine glass and said with a regretful face: "Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains King has set foot on the land of Zhancheng, and this is the first time in hundreds of years. I missed it, alas! What a pity! He also drank the glutinous rice wine in the cup, frowned and smacked his lips. When Zhao Xingde met with the king of Champong, he was coordinating the landing of Song merchants at the port, so he was unable to witness this good scene with his own eyes.

King Zhancheng did not expect that Zhao Xingde directly put forward the requirements of building a fortress, setting aside a port and an autonomous area of the Chamber of Commerce, and Feng Mi and other staff members of the navy had already formulated a complete plan. Fortunately, Zhao Xingde also made it clear that the detachment and artillery garrison were only responsible for protecting the passing trade and the smooth passage of the waterway, and did not interfere in the affairs of the Champa area, so the king of Champa was a little relieved. The detachment of the Nanhai Naval Division stationed in Champa and the defenders of Champa Castle totaled only 1,500 men, which was insignificant to the Champa army, but the excessively strong Southwest Sea Division could return to Champa at any time.

Therefore, as long as the behavior of the defenders of the castle is not too excessive, the king of Champa is ready to tolerate the existence of this nail.
