In the afternoon, a Liao caravan came to this tribe to do trade, only to see a young man wearing a Hu costume, hand-cranked folding fan, shuttling through the market, not very old, there is no sand in his eyes, he came to a stall, said: "Boss, how do you sell this cistanche?" ”

The boss replied: "This is the finest cistanche freshly picked, you see how fresh it is, a piece of cotton cloth for a catty." ”

The young man shook the folding fan and said, "Boss, you are deceiving me to be young and ignorant, your cistanche looks bright and tender, but it actually has half of the water, I will give you a six-fold discount, and if you agree with me, I will cover it all." ”

When the boss saw that this was an expert buyer, he immediately said, "Childe has good eyesight, these two baskets are for you." "This person is Han Xiaoyao.

It turned out that Han Xiaoyao was said by Yang Huaide and the three of them before, and wanted to fight at the border with the three of them, so he hurried back to Shuozhou to bid farewell to his parents, Han Fang and his wife were in their fifties, just such a baby son, where would they be willing to do it.

Han Fang said: "Our ancestors of the Han family had both civil and military officials in the Liao State, and later passed down the ancestral motto: accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the officialdom is sinister. In your grandfather's generation, he gave up his official position to become a businessman, and he still enjoyed wealth, so why did you rely on fighting and killing to gain fame? ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "I want to do something great for the country and the people, greedy for wealth and pleasure, this is not what a big husband does." ”

Han Fang said angrily: "You kid, you don't listen to the ancestral teachings, I think you're going to rebel." ”

Han Xiaoyao became excited and said, "I don't want money, I'm going to do what I like." ”

Han Fang's face turned red with anger and said, "I see that you have made a few bad friends outside and have fallen into a demon." ”

grabbed the folding fan on the table and hit Han Xiaoyao on the shoulder, Han Xiaoyao turned around to dodge, Han Fang's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Daddy dares to dodge you when he beats you, I want to teach you a lesson today." ”

Standing up and fighting again, Han Xiaoyao ran towards the courtyard, and Han Fang shouted: "You still dare to run!" "Chase after you.

Han Xiaoyao used his free skills, and Han Fang said: "You still dare to get an axe, I will teach you martial arts and come to deal with me!" ”

The two of them circled under the tree in the courtyard, only to see the two figures shaking, and the maid next to them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

The old lady was in a hurry, stood at the door, waved her hands, and shouted: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, son, admit your mistake to your father and it'll be fine!" ”

I only heard Han Xiaoyao shouting: "Mother, come and save me!" ”

A figure hid behind the old lady, the old lady hurriedly opened her arms, Han Fang stopped in front of the old lady, and said, "You get out of the way, this kid has to teach him a lesson today, otherwise he will dare to go to the house to reveal the tiles!" ”

The old lady said, "He is young and ignorant, so I will persuade him." ”

Han Fang instructed: "Lao Zhang, Lao Li, you two watch him and don't let him go out of the mansion." ”

Han Xiaoyao returned to the room unhappy, and the couple returned to their seats, Han Fang frowned.

The old lady said, "Master, do you remember the doll kiss we ordered with Master Li's family?" Another day, invite Lord Li's family to be guests, let the two children meet, and then choose an auspicious day for the wedding, so that Xiaoyao will not run around. Han Fang nodded in agreement.

On this day, Lord Li's family came over as guests, and after everyone greeted each other, the old lady asked Han Xiaoyao to take Miss Li to the study to sit down. Miss Li's name is Li Shuxia, she is beautiful and knowledgeable, Han Xiaoyao also likes it a little, but he is full of desire to make a career, and he can't wait to fly to the three brothers to fight side by side with them, how can he have the heart to get married.

Li Shuxia saw the room full of books, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and said: "Childe is well-read, do you want to gain fame?" ”

Han Xiaoyao shook the folding fan, pretending to be frivolous, and said: "I read thousands of books, just to facilitate traveling around the world to do business and strive for money, my family has gold and silver mountains, and it is enough to eat, drink and have fun all day for several lifetimes, so why bother to gain fame." ”

He glanced at Li Shuxia's surprised expression, and then said: "Miss Li must be in a hurry to marry and be a broad lady, and want to live a life of fine clothes and fine food!" ”

Where is Li Shuxia the kind of person Han Xiaoyao said, her face flushed, and she said: "I thought you were a famous family with great ambitions, but in fact you are a swinger, I am not rare in your money, you live with your money for a lifetime, and also, your parents invited me here!" After speaking, he ran back to the living room with the two maids, took his mother's arm, and cried: "Mother, let's go!" ”

Mrs. Han walked over quickly, put her arm around Li Shuxia's shoulders, and asked, "Shuxia, what are you crying about?" Did he bully you? ”

Li Shuxia said: "He said that I was in a hurry to marry and become a broad lady. ”

Li Shuxia shook her mother's arm and said, "Mother, let's go!" We don't scarce their money. ”

Han Fang slapped the table angrily and said, "This stinky boy is talking nonsense to me again!" ”

Mrs. Han persuaded: "Shuxia, don't cry, I will teach Xiaoyao a good lesson!" And just like that, everyone broke up unhappily.

Although Han Xiaoyao pushed away this family business, he was embarrassed by Miss Li's words, and he was even more determined to do something, he was locked up at home for nearly half a month, and he was anxious.

On this day, he heard Zhang Sheng and Li Min talking about business at the door, as if there was a shortage of cotton and linen cloth in Xingqing Mansion in Xia Guo recently, and the shop over there sent someone to ask the master if he wanted to transfer a batch of goods over, but now there is a shortage of people to deliver the goods, and the master is worried.

Han Xiaoyao had an idea, he came to Han Fang's room, Han Fang's face was gloomy, and Han Xiaoyao said: "Dad, I have figured it out, I still have to do business freely, and I can also be rich and noble for a lifetime." ”

Han Fang nodded and said, "This is all the lesson of the ancestors, how can it be wrong." ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "I heard that a batch of goods will be sent to Xingqing Mansion, I'll go, I'm here, I'm not afraid of those horse bandits on the road to rob." ”

Han Fang said, "It's okay, let Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li accompany you." ”

In fact, Han Fang had already received the news that the two countries would stop fighting immediately, even if his son went to the Songxia border, there was no battle to fight, so he agreed to let Han Xiaoyao go. Han Xiaoyao led the caravan to Dijinze day and night, preparing to go to the Song-Xia border here.

He wandered around the bazaar and planned to buy something for the three brothers, he came to a tent, and found that a fence was enclosed next to it, guarded by more than a dozen tribal soldiers, and when he looked around, more than 20 people were lying or sitting on their upper bodies, each of them was covered with dust and blood, and one of them was lying on the side with his hands and feet tied, his eyes closed, Han Xiaoyao was surprised, wasn't that Yang Huaide!

At this time, a chief came out of the tent, Han Xiaoyao knew him, and his father took him around to do business, and he would visit local officials, businessmen and celebrities everywhere he went.

Han Xiaoyao had an idea, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said, "Chief of the fine seal, can you remember the junior?" I am Han Xiaoyao, the son of Han Fang, and my father ordered me to come and visit you. ”

Chief Xifeng said, "I have some impressions, it turns out to be Han Gongzi." ”

Han Xiaoyao asked Zhang Sheng to take out two Khitan gold saddles from the package on the horse's back, and said, "Chief Xifeng, this is a gift for you." ”

Chief Xifeng was happy and said, "Thank you Lord Han for such a valuable gift." ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "When you come to your place to do business, I want you to take care of it. ”

Han Xiaoyao then asked, "What are the people here doing?" ”

The chief of the fine seal replied: "This is the Song captive we have just captured, and we want to be slaves." ”

Han Xiaoyao pointed at Yang Huaide and said: "That person sold me as a slave, I often encounter robbers on the road, I think he is very strong and can be a thug." ”

The Chief of the Seal was a little hesitant.

Han Xiaoyao took a hundred taels of silver and said, "Chief of the fine seal, do you think this one hundred taels of silver is enough?" ”

Chief Xifeng said with a smile: "Han Gongzi is just refreshing, come here, bring that Song army over." ”

Yang Huaide was still unconscious, Zhang Sheng and Li Min helped him to his horse, and Han Xiaoyao said goodbye to the chief of Xifeng and returned to the caravan station.

Everyone quickly bandaged Yang Huaide's wounds and changed into a set of Hu clothes, Zhang Sheng said: "I think he only suffered a little flesh wound, which may be caused by excessive fatigue and hunger." ”

Han Xiaoyao brought a bowl of hot mare's milk and fed it to Yang Huaide to drink, Yang Huaide fell asleep for another half an hour before slowly opening his eyes, Han Xiaoyao called: "Brother Huaide, I am Xiaoyao." ”

Yang Huaide felt pain all over his body, sat up with difficulty, and asked, "Xiaoyao, where is this?" Why are you here? ”

Han Xiaoyao replied: "This is the land of the Xia Kingdom, I was looking for you to pass by here, I heard that you won the battle, how could you be captured?" ”

Yang Huaide said angrily: "We originally won the battle and occupied several cities, I heard that the Liao army pressed the border, and the imperial court asked us to retreat, but the people of Xia did not believe their words, and ambushed us when retreating, and everyone broke through in different directions. ”

Han Xiaoyao was surprised: "How can there be a large army in the Liao State to suppress the territory, that is to mobilize soldiers and horses from the southwest road to suppress the rebellion on the northwest road. ”

Yang Huaide was also surprised and asked, "Is that really the case?" ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "Of course it's true, in the past few years, there have been natural disasters in various parts of Liao, and some people have taken the opportunity to make trouble, how can they have the strength to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south, you Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers are not lightly ill with Liao's phobia!" ”

Yang Huaide smashed his fist on the bed board and said, "I'm angry, how can this be?" ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "I ransomed you from the chieftains here, and more than twenty Song soldiers were captured. ”

Yang Huaide said: "No, I want to rescue these people." ”

He wanted to stand up, but he was weak, Han Xiaoyao said: "Huaide, they were captured as slaves, and there will be no danger to their lives, when your injuries are healed, we will save them together." Han Xiaoyao ordered everyone to pack up immediately and return to Liao.
