Zhuang Yi settled down, asked the shopkeeper to bring clean water, took a comfortable bath by himself, changed into dry clothes, and then called Mei Xiang, and asked her to help sort out the changed robe, comb the wet hair, and then tie it into a bun and insert a hairpin.

The little girl looked very serious, and she was happy to do these things, giggling from time to time and showing Zhuang Yi the mirror, and finally stopped crying.

"Not bad...... Xiao Meixiang is really capable of being ingenious, praise one! Zhuang Yi was full of praise, this little girl is very pitiful, she is too timid to talk to others, so she can only follow herself all day long. Zhuang Yi didn't treat her as a slave and drank around, and always talked nonsense to tease her when he had time.

"Hee-hee...... What should a slave call you? It's too early to call a colt! It's not appropriate to call me uncle, let's call it the leader! I'm not from your village. Or...... Just call you Youzhou people, call Langjun! I'm not your slave either, but it looks like I'll be in the future! Mei Xiang said in a crisp voice.

"Okay...... Just call Lang Jun! Don't run around in the inn, I've got to run errands, and I'll be back in a minute." Zhuang Yi stood up, stretched out his hand and rubbed Mei Xiang's own unkempt double ring bun, laughed and left.

"You're rubbing my hair again, how can you comb this! Pimp...... You're going to be back soon! Xiao Meixiang looked aggrieved and shouted anxiously when she went out.

Seeing that it was still very early outside, Zhuang Yi gave an order to Yuan Zhiyong, asking him to stay and watch everyone, so that they would not run out and wander around. Then he prepared some gifts, brought Gao Hongxun and ten other personal guards, and planned to visit Zhao Wende.

Zhao Wende, the word is handsome, born in the Zhao family, obviously the family must not pay attention to it, otherwise he would not come to this remote Yancheng to capture any envoy, Zhuang Yi thinks so, so the gift to him is two fox skins with white soft fur, which can be regarded as very valuable.

His military office was located in the north and west of the city, Zhuang Yi and his entourage walked slowly, and the street vendors or middle-aged men they saw along the way were all with a murderous aura, and they all seemed to be family members of the garrison. Zhuang Yi was not interested in such a small stall vendor, but Gao Hongxun and Sha Gu were looking around in the back, and the two pointed to the roadside stalls from time to time, full of interest.

The small guard army is also very magnificent, and on both sides of the steps in front of the main entrance, there are two stone lions. Two rows of guards stood solemnly on the steps in front of the door, wearing leather helmets and carrying knives and guns. Gao Hongxun stepped forward with a smile to say hello, explained his intention, and stuffed a small string of copper coins into the guard. The guards were looking at Zhuang Yi and the others from a distance, took the money and checked it, their eyes showed joy, and they happily went in to report.

After a while, the guards trotted out and said that the military master had an invitation. Gao Hongxun stuffed him with a small string of copper coins and asked him to lead the way, and then he beckoned Zhuang Yi to step forward, and he followed behind. But the guard turned around and walked to the right side of the military office, and it didn't seem that he intended to take them to the main gate.

"Let's go through the back door, it's too much of a deception!" Gao Hongxun said indignantly in a low voice.

"Do we have an official uniform? When he saw us, he showed that he was interested in the shipment, regardless of where he was. Zhuang Yi strode forward, and Gao Hongxun followed with his entourage.

The guards didn't take them through the back door, it was Zhao Wende's back house, Zhuang Yi was not his relatives and friends, and he didn't have this status and face. Instead, he was brought to a side hall of the military office, and Gao Hongxun presented the gift, and the guard stretched out his hand to take it, told them to wait, and turned around and went on their own.

This wait is half an hour, the sky is almost dusk, and in the courtyard and hall, there are no people standing in half of the people, let alone tea and snacks. Gao Hongxun had been waiting for a long time, running in and out from time to time to see if anyone came. Zhuang Yi simply asked him to go out and wait, lying down on the wide couch, holding his head in his hands and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Finally, a voice came, and footsteps followed, and a large group of soldiers in helmets and armor surrounded Zhao Wende into the courtyard. Zhuang Yi heard the movement, immediately turned over and sat upright, swept his eyes outward, the courtyard was full of sergeants, and more than a dozen guards rushed into the hall and stood in the corner, looking a little aggressive.

"Your name is Zhuang Yi, right...... It's so daring, you dare to come and ask to see it, do you know what kind of place this is? Zhao Wende wore a black saro head, a black round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, trembling his long beard, and sneering with his hands behind his back.

"Aha! I've seen Zhao June! Q: How is Zhao Jun's envoy? I'm really sorry about what happened last time! There are no long-term enemies, only long-term business, and I hope this will not be the Longtan Tiger's Den. Zhuang Yi stood up and bowed and saluted, looking at the old guy's energetic appearance, it seemed that the injury he suffered last time had completely recovered.

"Is it Longtan Tiger's Den? It depends on how you are in a certain mood. Business? Looks like you haven't figured out who you are, right? You're just a deserter. Whose property is the stockade, you have to find out. Zhao Wende said arrogantly.

"Zhao Jun's words are not right, the green forest has the rules of the green forest, and it has always been the respect of the strong. Besides, Zhao Quanyi is a fugitive slave from your family, and I can help you clean up the portal except for him, and this is all in the past. As for me? Yesterday was a deserter, today is a big businessman, thank you Zhao Jun for the last batch of emergency goods, the horses you want, I will naturally deliver them on schedule. Zhuang Yi replied without being arrogant or humble.

"Hahaha...... What a clean-up portal, so I want to thank you! Well? That oolong gun, can you use it easily? Zhao Wende laughed angrily, his face turned pale, in fact, the last batch of goods was the meaning of the family, and he almost intercepted it.

"How dare you! Thanks to Zhao Jun's support and care, I stayed in the mountains safely. Your old martial arts are extraordinary, heroic and powerful, and you gave me a spear, I am grateful. It's just that I'm so poor and despicable, and I can't repay it! After that, if Zhao Junenvoy has any needs, just say it, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate! Zhuang Yi bowed again, smiled and showed his loyalty, and patted his ass.

Hearing this, Zhao Wende felt extremely harsh, if it wasn't for the family head who had sent a message in advance, let him not be too harsh, otherwise he might have exploded.

"You...... What did you say...... What a shameless man! You know what you do! Go ahead! What do you want to do when you train in the village? Zhao Wende yelled angrily.

"There are only a few bear soldiers, just to restrain those crooked melons and bad dates, so that they don't go out on their own and do some bad things, there is absolutely no other meaning, Zhao Jun, but please rest assured." Zhuang Yi sighed in his heart, daring to love the few guys who ran out last time were the eyeliner of the Zhao family, and it seemed that he would have to rectify it when he went back.

"Really? What kind of goods did you bring with you this time, you didn't want armor and weapons, did you? ”

"Zhao Junenvoy guessed right! How do you get a war horse without weapons and armor? There are also food cloths and salt and iron are also needed, and after that, they will never dare to miss the major events of Zhao Jun's envoys. ”

"When are you going to do it? Which one are you going to grab? Zhao Wende's stinky face finally eased up, walked to the main seat and sat down, and ordered the sergeant to serve tea. But Zhuang Yi was not easy to sit down, he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

"This is a bit troublesome, presumably Zhao Junenvoy has also heard that the Khitan and Xi people are going to war, and we also have to find a good time to do it! Can you hand over the last batch of war horses by the end of August? At that time, I will definitely pay an extra hundred horses, and I hope that Zhao Jun's envoy can give me some grace, so that I can be fully prepared. Zhuang Yi thought for a moment and immediately replied.

"No...... When do you want to delay, the war horse must be delivered as soon as possible, haven't they fought yet, you idiot, you don't know to do it as soon as possible? Zhao Wende blew his beard and glared, almost roaring.

The sergeant finally arrived late with a cup of tea, put it on the low table next to Zhao Wende, and then stepped aside, but there was nothing to do with Zhuang Yi.

"They're preparing for war! Let's do it at this time, if we don't do it, we will send the sheep into the tiger's mouth, it's nothing if I lose my life, I'm afraid of missing your big thing, so this time, Zhao Jun will show you ......" Hearing him scold, Zhuang Yi hated it in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he asked tentatively. This is also a matter of no choice, to buy goods from Youzhou, you have to pass through Yancheng, Zhuang Yi is not good to offend him.

"Your goods will be sent to Yuyang, my family will see you, let Gorou come early tomorrow morning, and he will take you there." Zhao Wende picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down heavily.

"Oh...... That's good! Then I'll take my leave! Zhuang Yi sneered, and when he said goodbye, it was almost dark, and Gao Hongxun and ten guards were still waiting stupidly outside the door.

Back at the inn, a high lantern was raised in front of the door and swayed in the evening breeze, the little maid Mei Xiang played the lantern, stood alone in front of the door, stretched her neck and looked into the distance, and when she saw Zhuang Yi, she giggled and ran forward, pulled her sleeves and dragged it into the inn.

"What are you doing...... What's the matter? Zhuang Ziyi asked suspiciously.

"Brother Shagu is wrestling with people in the courtyard at the back! I've already thrown out several! Even the shop guys ran to watch it! Mei Xiang said with great interest.

"These guys with excess energy haven't been tired after a few days of traveling, didn't Yuan Zhiyong stop them?" Zhuang Yi's face instantly became gloomy.

"Who is Yuan Zhiyong? I don't know......" Mei Xiang's heart suddenly suddenly, glanced at Gao Hongxun next to her, stared at her with big eyes, shook her head and said.

"Gotcha...... No wonder Alan left you behind, you're smart! Look at your little thoughts, are you still afraid that Yuan Zhiyong will dare to do something to you! Walk...... Check it out! Seeing the little girl's tangled look after lying, Zhuang Yi couldn't smile bitterly.

"It was he who first argued with Big Brother Shagu and was beaten by Big Brother Shagu! Then everyone will try to fight with Brother Shagu. Mei Xiang had confidence in her heart, so she said it truthfully.

Before I arrived in the backyard, I heard the cheers, the yard was full of people, and the lanterns were as bright as day. Zhuang Yi stepped on the stairs and went up the corridor on the second floor, Gao Hongxun also followed, seeing that Sha Gu threw one person out shirtless, and invited him to fight in the field. Gao Hongxun was a little excited, and he was eager to try, seeing that Zhuang Yi didn't speak, he couldn't ask to play.

Zhuang Yi was not interested in watching this "play", so he untied the horizontal knife on his waist and threw it downstairs with the scabbard, and the horizontal knife "snapped" and hit Sha Gu's back. Sha Gu was furious, turned his head suddenly, picked up the horizontal knife with one kick and looked at it, and was immediately stunned like a deflated ball, staring at the bull's eye to search for Zhuang Yi's figure in the crowd. The crowd of onlookers was also a little puzzled, and they all looked left and right, looking for the owner of the horizontal knife.

"What are you looking at...... You're not bad! Win a pot of wine! The loser will get up early tomorrow morning and take the lead in loading and disband! Gao Yi shouted.

When everyone saw his figure, they shook their heads and sighed, and left the scene with a disappointed face. Only Sha Gu's face was full of surprise and he laughed happily.
