In Zhangjiakou Market, in the tavern diagonally opposite Wangshun Pavilion, Zhai Zhe and Che Feng sat at a table near the window.

Although the skills of the cooks at home are far greater than those of such a dilapidated restaurant, Zhai Zhe has always liked to eat outside, where he can hear all kinds of things, see the streets full of traffic, rich merchants and beggars. It is precisely because of this that Zhai Zhe had the opportunity to make a few reckless friends.

Two days after ambushing the Lu family's caravan, he quietly sneaked back to Zhangjiakou, this time he asked Xiao Zhiyan to stay in the cottage and take the car with him.

Che Feng ate quickly, a plate of beef swept down like a cloud, and after eating a full meal, he sat there waiting for Zhai Zhe, which was completely different from Xiao Zhiyan's style of drinking a pot of wine for an hour.

Zhai Zhe chewed slowly, not in a hurry.

The car was very idle, looking left and right, observing for a while, before saying: "This set is far worse than before!" ”

"You've been here before?"

"In the past, my father and I used to buy goods from here and transport them to the steppe to sell to the Mongols, but at that time, the streets were so crowded that even horse-drawn carriages could not pass!"

Outside of the words, Che Feng never thought of himself as a Mongolian, although he looked very similar.

Zhai Zhe smiled, he was eating while listening to the chatter of the peddlers and pawns in the tavern. In the streets and alleys, in the mountains and wilderness, there are two places in the collection that spread the news the fastest, one is the tavern, and the other is the brothel.

After the caravan was attacked, Lu Jiaming had no reaction on his face, and Zhai Zhe didn't believe that Lu Fuyou would give up.

While the two were talking, a guard ran into the tavern and looked around, saw Zhai Zhe's table, and muttered as he ran over: "Sure enough, it's here, let me find it!" Walking to Zhai Zhe's table, the man saluted respectfully and said, "Second Young Master, the owner is looking for you!" Let you go back immediately! ”

"Is there a hurry?"

"I don't know, the owner's orders!"

Zhai Zhe got up, threw a piece of broken silver for Che Feng to settle the bill, and rushed back to Wangshun Pavilion with the guards.

It has been a day since he returned to Zhangjiakou, and Zhai Tang has not talked to him about the grassland, and some things are tacitly agreed by both parties, but Zhai Zhe doesn't know why his brother suddenly looked for him.

The guards led him to the door of the courtyard and retreated on his own, Zhai Tang's study door was hidden, Zhai Zhe pushed the door in, and there were two people sitting in the room: Zhai Tang and Fan Yongdou.

Seeing Zhai Zhe enter the door, Fan Yongdou raised his head and greeted: "The second son is back!" ”

The title changed from the second master to the second son, and Zhai Zhe felt a little strange.

Fan Yongdou put down the celadon teacup in his hand and said, "Since they are all here, everyone Mingren does not say secret words, is the Lu family's caravan not done by you." ”

Zhai Tang's face remained unchanged, and he said, "What is the matter with me as the owner of the family and anxious to see the younger brother?" This is nonsense, not to be said. Human life is at stake! ”

Fan Yongdou's swarthy face bloomed slightly, and he said, "The conversation here is limited to the three of us. I'm not afraid to give you an explanation, the Jurchens have sent people into the Duoyan grassland, preparing to clear the horse thieves there and protect the safety of the caravan. ”

"That's great!" Zhai Tang made a happy outfit, and his mouth was still dripping.

"The Jurchens not only want to protect the caravan, but also want to take it over there!" Fan Yongdou made a throat-slitting gesture and continued, "But you're startling the snake with this move!" ”

Zhai Tang and Zhai Zhe glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

Fan Yongdou showed a mysterious smile and said: "Don't hide it from me, the days that the second son has spent in this set this month are not enough to count on one hand, that Xiao Zhiyan is gone, he used to be a horse thief on the grassland!" ”

Seeing that the two brothers of the Zhai family still didn't admit it, Fan Yongdou said unhurriedly: "My sister is seventeen this year, and she is not married yet. Zhai Dong's family knows that my parents left early\

1ooo

Sister uffoc has always been the meat of my heart. I heard that the second son is not engaged, it is better for the two families to marry Qin and Jin, what do you think? ”

Zhai Tang pursed his lips and nodded, "That's very good!" ”

Zhai Zhe was anxious, stepped forward, and shouted, "Big brother!." ”

Zhai Tang glared at him, and then said: "The last time the little brother saw Ling Mei, he has been thinking about it, but this family affair has made this kid get his wish." After that, Fan Yongdou and the two laughed, and the two treacherous foxes knew each other's thoughts.

Zhai Zheqiang suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, but at this time, he fell out with his eldest brother and lost the support of the Zhangjiakou firm, and those horse thieves were like rootless trees and would soon fall into trouble.

"Since it's a family, there are some things to explain!" Fan Yongdou paused and said, "The second young master has the ability, and he can bring a group of horse thieves on the grassland, which is also the support of our two families." He pointed to the east with his finger, "There are also a group of people over there in the Duoyan Grassland, who want to cooperate with the second young master!" ”

Zhai Tang looked at Zhai Zhe, after all, the affairs of the grassland still had to be decided by Zhai Zhe himself.

Fan Yongdou saw the movements of the two of them clearly on the side.

Zhai Zhe asked: "How to cooperate?" ”

"The people over there want to do their best with you to control the horse thieves of the Duoyan grassland!" Fan Yongdou is no longer secretive.

The Jurchens want to cooperate with themselves, which shows that their power in the Duoyan Grassland is far less powerful than Fan Yongdou said! In an instant, Zhai Zhe figured out the truth, but this was an opportunity for him to take advantage of, with the support of Zhai Fan's two firms, and with the help of the Jurchens, he could do his best to strengthen his strength.

Zhai Zhe pretended to hesitate, and then said: "The idea is very good, but it is very difficult!"

"We'll support you!" Fan Yongdou finally said what Zhai Zhe wanted to hear the most.

"I'll do my best!"

Fan Yongdou nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is not much time left for us, we must end the dispute in Zhangjiakou before the end of the grassland war." ”

Zhai Zhe understood Fan Yongdou's scruples, and the Lu family had been going to the grassland to caravan, but at this time, the Chahar army and the Tumut coalition army totaled more than 100,000 \u4e

14netbsp; BA is facing off in Guihua City, and as soon as the big war is touched, Lin Dan Khan is unable to take care of Zhangjiakou, if he waits for the grassland matter, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Fan family's side.

The three of them talked about it for more than an hour, and agreed on some detailed rules, including the joint cooperation between Zhai Zhe and the Jurchens and the marriage between Zhai Zhe and Miss Fan.

Zhai Tang and Fan Yongdou are both very clear that the family affairs should be decided before the caravan goes out, and both parties need a stable relationship at this time, and Zhai Zhe is powerless to object. His impression of Fan Yi is not bad, but he doesn't want his life's events to be so sloppy, not to mention that he and Zhai Fan are not grasshoppers on the same rope.

Zhai Tang acted quickly, and on the second day, he ordered someone to send the news to the old father in Jiexiu's house as soon as possible.

The news in the collection also spread quickly, and the Fan family and the Zhai family were about to get married. No one was surprised, since Ge Feng escaped from Zhangjiakou, the Zhai family and the Fan family have become closer and closer, and the marriage between the two sides is logical.

Zhai Tang began to instruct the shopkeeper at home to buy a bride price, and Zhai Zhe didn't have to worry about the things in the business, and the efficiency of Wangshun Pavilion was extremely fast, and all kinds of decorations and clothes were ready in a few days, just waiting for a good day and an auspicious day.

Zhai Zhe didn't care about these things, his mind was all in the old camp of horse thieves in the Duoyan grassland.

After spending four days in the set, he returned to the Duoyan Grassland, but this time, in order to avoid attracting attention, he simply created the illusion of returning to Jiexiu's hometown.

This time he returned to the old camp in the valley, Zhai Zhe returned with a full load, and Fan Yongdou directly sent thirty armors as a gift. Because of the Ming Dynasty's commercial ban, the most lacking thing in the grassland was iron, many of the Mongols' arrowheads were made of bone spurs, and there was also a shortage of blades among the horse thieves, not to mention armor.

Zhai Zhe only selected ten armors to reward the brave men in the village.

Xiao Zhiyan didn't pay attention to these armors, and said: "The most important thing for horse thieves is to act quickly, and when they are in danger, they must flee immediately, and they are not fighting against each other, what do you want these armors for?" ”

"It is inevitable that there will be a time when the two armies will fight!"

"Just these people? Two armies against each other? Xiao Zhiyan scoffed at Zhai Zhe's words.

No matter what Xiao Zhiyan's attitude was, the way the horse thief in the cottage looked at Zhai Zhe changed again. In a month's time, almost no one here could still think of the Drill Sky Eagle buried in the ravine not far away, the blade armor, these things that I couldn't think of before could be scooped up, and Meng Kang rubbed it like a child for a long time after taking the armor from Zhai Zhe's hand.

These things are divided into desperate preparations for them.
