[Nightlight] Volume 2 Winter Song No. 297 resigned

On the official road in front of Datong Mansion, Zong Mao led more than a dozen entourages to gallop quickly, and the sunset behind him was getting farther and farther.

As the second man in the merchant alliance who grew up as a herdsman from Tumut, his riding skills put the guards behind him to shame. Half an hour before the city gate was closed, a group of people led their horses into the city, and Zong Mao let out a long breath, finally it was still too late.

Zhai Zhe is out of the jam, Liu Quan is planning to go to Jiangnan, and now he has become the busiest person in the business alliance, often staying in Guihua City for ten days, and then returning to Datong Mansion to live for half a month, and the newlywed Yan'er with Lu Ying only stayed at home for three days. Trade with the Mongols was not as simple as before, and after the Shang Alliance formed a guild with the seven merchants in Dongkou, even the price of a piece of tea had to be set at a lower limit, otherwise those guys would degrade four brick tea for a horse to ten brick tea for a horse. In the past two months, Zong Mao's current price limit has also been disobeyed, after all, the profit of ten bricks and tea and a horse is more than twice that of a horse, and the next step is to limit the number of goods that each firm can export. Whoever sells the goods first can only stare dryly, and he does not believe that he cannot cure those cunning shopkeepers and fellows.

He likes to be busy, and the busier he is, the more things he can do, do he want to be like that Geng Guang, and retire in Datong Mansion all day long?

Thinking of Geng Guang, the corners of Zong Mao's mouth showed a sneer, he couldn't understand that Zhai Zhe actually forgave him, and gave him a position as the deputy commander of the Shang Alliance's guards, and received a salary of one thousand silver a year. With Geng Guang's actions, killing him a hundred times would be considered cheaper for him, and the owner didn't say that he wanted to recover the silver.

Geng Guang's son, Geng Zhu, has been stationed in Chenjiazhuang in Youyu County, and is in charge of the secret camp left over from the former Han Dynasty with Wang Yi. Perhaps because he was implicated by Lao Tzu, after the last business difficulties of the Shang League, Zhai Zhe no longer allocated money to them. There is no money, and the operation of the secret camp has almost stagnated these days, and he has not contributed any useful information to Zhai Zhe, and the only thing he is doing is to be in charge of the messengers who go in and out to kill Hukou.

The sun completely disappeared under the mountains, and Datong City was freed from the irritable barbecue of the scorching sun. Zong Mao first went to the General's Mansion to meet with the two ladies, Fan Yi and Ulan, and then returned home wrapped in damp clothes. The two sisters, Lu Ying and Yongying, both moved out of the General's Mansion after they got married, but they still lived in the same street.

"It's finally back!" Lu Ying stood at the door with a smile, "I cooked you mung bean soup!" ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" The green smile can make Zong Mao drunk to death.

"Sweaty!" Lu Ying pinched her nose, she is this unadorned character.

"Just take a shower!" Zong Mao's smile was ill-intentioned.

Lu Ying took a sip, remembered something, and said, "I heard that you are coming back today, and my brother-in-law came to look for you just now!" The brother-in-law she said was Ji Hong.

"Really?" Zong Mao walked into the house, took off his soaked clothes, and twisted it so hard that sweat dripped to the ground.

"Looks like something!" Midori instructed her servants to prepare dinner.

After taking a bath, refreshed and filling his hungry stomach, Zong Mao stepped on the moonlight and walked towards the three tiled houses at the end of the street.

The moon was clear, and a one-man maple tree stood in the corner of the wall, and not a single leaf could be seen on the ground. Zong Mao's steps were so light that he couldn't hear the movement outside in the house, and he saw an oil lamp lit in the east wing.

"Red Horse, I'm back!" Zong Mao blurted out Ji Hong's nickname, and he felt inappropriate when the words came out of his mouth.

The figure in the room shook, and the door sounded the sound of the door latch colliding, and then it squeaked open, and Yongying's voice came from inside: "The sect leader is here!" ”

"What's the matter, where are the guards!" Zong Mao was a little annoyed, and after Ji Hong moved out, he deployed two personal soldiers from the General's Mansion to serve.

"Oh!" Yongying's laughter came from the darkness, "It's the Xianggong who asked them to go back to the General's Mansion, just the two of us are here, and we don't need to be served by others!" ”

Zong Mao stepped into the threshold and walked out of the east wing room in a panic when he saw Ji Hong's movements.

"Please come in and sit down!" Yongying spoke very politely. A month ago, she was Fan Yi's personal maid, and she could talk to Zong Mao on an equal footing, but after she got married, she had to focus on her husband's identity.

Ji Hong waved his sleeves to make way, the two walked into the wing, and Yongying went to the stove to prepare boiling water to make tea.

The lights in the east wing are bright, and there are five knives hanging in order from large to small on the facing wall, which are all Zong Mao's former sharp weapons. Zong Mao's eyes swept over the table, and saw that there was a pen, an inkstone, and a yellowed piece of paper on the desk, and there were ink marks on it that were curved like Taoist paintings.

"What are you drawing?" Zong Mao leaned his head curiously.

Ji Hong's face instantly turned red like a pig's liver, but then slowly faded, and he said calmly: "I'm learning to write!" "His hand is like a fish in water when he holds a knife, and when he holds a pen, he is like a thousand pounds.

Zong Mao also felt that his words were too abrupt and embarrassed, and asked, "Have you looked for me?" ”

Ji Hong motioned for him to sit down with one hand and said, "Exactly, I want to resign as the deputy commander of the Shang Alliance." ”

"Why? This is arranged by the adults themselves! Zong Mao was surprised.

Ji Hong smiled bitterly, "How can I be a deputy commander like me now, in the past month, I have never been out of the house, it is too inappropriate to occupy this position!" ”

"So what?" Zong Mao didn't know what kind of trick Ji Hong's brain was pumping.

"It's just that the adults want to give me money! Right? ”

"You deserve it!" Zong Mao Zhengse, "You saved the life of an adult!" ”

There was a bang outside the house, and it was the sound of a porcelain cup falling to the ground.

"Yongying, what's wrong?" Ji Hong looked concerned and half got up.

"It's nothing, you talk, I'll boil water to make tea!" Yongying's voice was a little flustered, she didn't mean to eavesdrop on the two of them.

"It's dark, light the lights!" Ji Hong listened for a moment again, and made sure that Yongying's footsteps were far away before he sat down.

"She doesn't know?" Zong Mao lowered his voice.

"Why sue her about this!" Ji Hong's expression was calm. In addition to the people in the army, in the general's mansion, Zhai Zhe only mentioned this matter to Fan Yi, but Fan Yi did not tell his two maids. There was a secret that could never be passed out on that night in Guihua City, and the generals in the army heard Zhai Zhe say that Ji Hong had saved his life, but no one knew how he saved it.

"The money I've saved in the business alliance is enough for us to live for ten years!" Ji Hong chuckled, "Wen Ying and I can support ourselves, and when I return to the adult, of course I will receive my salary." His tone was soft, but his words were full of confidence, giving people a sense that it was inevitable.

Zong Mao raised his face, met Ji Hong's eyes, and said after a while: "Okay, we are all waiting for you to come back!" But I can't make the decision on this matter, I can only pass the book to the adults, and the adults will decide! ”

"Okay, I'll also ask Yongying to write a letter to the adult tomorrow, and you can help me pass it on!"

Looking at Ji Hong's somewhat emaciated face on the other side, Zong Mao nodded silently. He, Ji Hong and Feng Qin are the three most outstanding of Zhai Zhe's personal soldiers, and as for Bao Guang, the commander of the personal guard, in addition to being good at fighting, his ability is one layer worse. Feng Qin has a withdrawn personality and is not socially compatible with everyone, he and Ji Hong were born as slaves, and were once nicknamed by Zhai Zhe as a civil and military master, and now they are brothers-in-law, but Ji Hong broke an arm and also broke the future of the army.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zong Mao said goodbye with a smile: "Then I will say goodbye, if there is anything else, you just have to tell me, if you let the adults know that they have treated you badly, they will take off my skin!" ”

Ji carried forward one arm.

The two got up and went out.

Hearing the sound of talking and footsteps outside, Yongying ran out of the kitchen and beckoned, "Is the sect chief leaving, the water is boiling!" ”

"It's late, so rest soon!" Zong Mao waved his hand and left.

Ji Hong and Yongying didn't help each other back to the house until his back was clearly visible in the moonlight. Under the light, Ji Hong lifted the brush that seemed to be untamable, and his expression was focused. At this moment, Yongying recognized her husband for the first time.

Zong Mao returned home and did not hide secrets, and told Ji Hong's plan to Sù Luying, after all, the two families had a close relationship, and this news could not be hidden for a few days.

"Does my sister know?" Lu Ying's tone was calm, "Do you want my sister to suffer with her?" ”

"You should know!" Zong Mao hesitated, and then said with a smile: "Don't underestimate your brother-in-law, you haven't seen his majesty!" ”

"I'm just poor sister!" Lu Ying hugged Zong Mao's arm.

In fact, with the identity of the two sisters as a dowry maid, being able to marry characters like Zong Mao and Ji Hong can be regarded as burning high incense on the ancestral tomb, that is, Zhai Zhe wants to use this to completely tie the two most important subordinates to himself. The lack of people's hearts is exactly like this, and the psychology of comparison can never be removed.

Zong Mao ran around all day, tired all over, had no intention of discussing with Lu Ying again, and fell asleep. Now that more than half of the helm of the Shang Alliance is in his hands, Liu Quan is looking for an opportunity to build a new nest and temporarily stay away from the land of right and wrong in Xuanda.

For Zhai Zhe, the business alliance is not only a way to make money, but also the link between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty, and it is not only food, gunpowder and armor that is sent to the outside of the fortress, but also the population. After Feng Qin took root in Hanzhai, the craftsmen of the original Han Department dressed up as caravan men and went out of the Hukou again. They may not have thought of it in their hearts, but under the threat of the bright knife of the green forest in Chenjiazhuang, Youyu County, they have no other choice. If it is said that Zhai Zhe's power in the Ming Dynasty is no longer stronger than that of Youyu County, half of it is because of the light of the Liu family, and half of it is because of the attachment of the Zhu family village and other green forests.

Zhai Zhe was very smart, he ordered Zong Mao to strictly control the operation of the foreign caravans, but the hand of the Shang Alliance was resolutely not as strong as it was in Naturalization, even if Lu Xiangsheng promised to allow him to do so.

Because it was too close to Lu Xiangsheng, any drastic movement could attract his attention.

This is a growing young beast, and Lu Xiangsheng is the king who is recovering his body, and they cooperate with each other to absorb the blood of the Xuanda gentry and the merchant to grow. But there can only be one Beastmaster in the jungle, and every king will not hesitate to kill his companions who can challenge his position, and the human world is no different from animals.

If there is a difference, it is that it is easier for humans to compromise, and Zhai Zhe urgently needs to grow to the point where one day Lu Xiangsheng wants to destroy him, he will also feel very tricky.
