"Good! From Zhangjiakou to Liaodong Dongyu territory travel thousands of miles, we are not very familiar with the road, today I brought two people are fine people in my caravan, the big boss can first send someone to take them familiar with the road, after a few days, I will send someone to send a reward! Zhai Zhe stretched out his right hand and shook it lightly, feeling that Drill Sky Eagle's hands were as thin as chicken claws, covered with calluses, which were the traces left by holding the knife for many years.
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to do it immediately!" Diamond Aquila squeezed out a smile.
Zhai Zhe pointed to Xiao Zhiyan again and said: "This is the right-hand man in my business, I will let him come over if you and I have contact in the future!" Rest assured, as long as things are done, our firm will not treat you badly. ”
Diamond Eagle laughed a few times and said, "Don't worry! ”
Zhai Zhe bowed his hand and said goodbye: "In this way, I won't stay here for a long time, I will still be in that place in two days, you ask Meng Kang to send someone to pick up, and I will send some remuneration first!" ”
"I have prepared a reception banquet here, and I also invite the son to appreciate his face." Drill Sky Eagle didn't expect Zhai Zhe to leave so soon.
"There's nothing to eat in the mountains! When I send some wine next time, I'll have a drink with the big boss!" Zhai Zhe was resolute.
Seeing Zhai Zhe say such a thing, it was not easy to keep the Drill Sky Eagle, and said: "That's okay, I will arrange for a guide to take those two brothers to find the way today, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to go back and forth." ”
Drill Sky Eagle sent Zhai Zhe and his party out of the old camp in the valley and stopped, and asked Meng Kang to send Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan out of the mountain.

On the way, Meng Kang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help asking: "Little brother is really ready to cooperate with our big pole?" ”
"Not bad! The merchant is preparing to ship Liaodong, and the Duoyan grassland is too unsafe. ”
"We don't have more than 200 brothers in the cottage, I'm afraid that the big boss won't be able to cover it by then!" The strength of the horse thieves in the Duoyan Grassland is only medium, and Meng Kang wants to give Zhai Zhe a wake-up call.
"The firm isn't entirely counting on you, either!" Zhai Zhe smiled and asked, "How has it been more than a year?" ”
Meng Kang sighed and said, "What can it be?" Killing people for food and clothing, I didn't know that I would die that day! ”
Zhai Zhe asked tentatively: "I think the big boss values you very much!" ”
Meng Kang sneered and said, "There are a few people in this cottage who are fighting with me, and my status is all earned by blood!" ”
It took more than three hours for the three of them to turn out of the mountain road, and when they arrived at the stone mountain pass where they met earlier, Zhai Zhe stopped his horse and said, "In two days, it will still be this place, you bring someone to come and answer!" I'm giving you a great gift! ”
"Then thank you, the brothers in the old camp haven't even prepared the food and grass for the winter!" Meng Kang arched his hand, and the three of them said goodbye.
Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan walked slowly west for four or five miles out of the mountains and forests into the grassland, and the Duoyan grassland has suffered from drought since last winter.
Xiao Zhiyan sighed: "If there is no drought, the Chahar people may not have moved west. ”
"It's only a matter of time before the Chahars move west!" Zhai Zhe disagreed, and said: "Lin Dan Khan, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, has always been ambitious, the Chahar people in the Duoyan Grassland to the east can not defeat the Dongyu, to the west by the Tumut tribe blocked the space, in the summer I heard that the Governor of Jiliao Yuan Daren in the Duoyan Grassland City to relieve Mongolia, did not leave the footsteps of the Chahar people. ”
The two of them rode on the empty grassland, the sound of the whirring wind sounded in their ears, autumn and winter were all in a depression, and there was no place for life in their sight, Zhai Zhe suddenly gave birth to a lonely fear. The Duoyan grassland is empty, and the Zhangba grassland is also empty, all of which originate from the terrible war, but the war is not something that can be avoided if you want to escape.
There were no herdsmen and pedestrians along the way, Zhai Zhe galloped the black horse under his crotch to his heart's content, which he bought from the Mongols for nearly a thousand taels of silver in Jizi a year ago, it was really a good horse for a thousand miles, and after three or four miles, Xiao Zhiyan was left behind.
Thirty or forty miles of walking was very fast, and because of the delay in the mountain road, the sun was already in the west when Zhai Zhe saw the outline of Zhangjiakou.
The bustle of the market town of Zhangjiakou is in stark contrast to the bleakness of the grassland, and no matter what the people here do, they are a group of men who dare to take risks for their dreams. The big black horse stopped at the entrance of the bazaar, and Zhai Zhe saw a small caravan coming from the Zhangba grassland, with a dozen pack horse bags hanging empty on both sides, followed by a dozen Mongolian horses, five men and four guards around.
He was not familiar with these people, but Zhai Zhe could guess that this was the Lu family's caravan.
"Someone has finally taken the first step, and a caravan has returned from Zhangjiakou before the winter snow arrives!" Zhai Zhe stopped his horse on the side of the road and watched these people pass in front of him. A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Zhiyan rushed over from behind.
"Why are they so bold?" Xiao Zhiyan couldn't hide his surprise.
"They're going to the Chahar tribe, and the roads here are much safer!" There are very few mountains and forests in front of the Zhangba grassland, and the Chahar army has just passed so that the horse thieves have nothing to hide, and they really don't need too many guards.
The two sides of the Zhangjiakou Merchant Guild had created tremendous pressure on each other, and Lu Fuyou faced up to the immediate crisis and chose to temporarily abandon the Tumuts and start contact with the Chahar tribe who had just arrived in Tumochuan. Zhai Zhe carefully observed the caravan of Huisai, only the horses had no fur, the Chahar people defeated the Eastern Tumut people, and there should be a lot of captured war horses, even if they were savage, they needed tea and salt from the Han people.
In this way, there is not much time left for Fan Yongdou, and whether their vision is correct or not depends on profit.

u6da6 speaks. At this time, the Duoyan grassland was still under the rule of the Chahar tribe, and Fan Yongdou could take the risk of stealing the caravan once, but if the safety of the caravan was handed over to God every time, it would be unacceptable to several parties.
The two led the horse into the market town, during the busy period, even the business of the tavern was much worse, in the past, it was the time when the caravan was full of guests, and the tavern and Qinglou in Zhangjiakou were full of guests almost every day.
Zhai Zhe entered the house, and the two handed over the horse to the little maid, and before he could even sit down with his buttocks, Zhai Tang ordered someone to come to him.
Entering the study, Zhai Tang was already sitting on the Taishi chair and waiting.
"How? Eyebrows? Although the eldest brother pretended to be calm, Zhai Zhe could still feel his urgent mentality, and he had never seen the eldest brother behave like this.
Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "Today is just the first contact, and in two days, I want twenty bags of grain, as well as wine and meat!" ”
Zhai Tang stood up and said, "These are all trivial things, you can spend it." Time is pressing, and in a month and a half at the latest, the caravan to Liaodong must leave, hoping that the snow will come later this winter. ”
"If I want to make sure those people are used by me, I have to do it myself, you know that thieves are always greedy and cunning!" Zhai Zhe was cautious and tentative.
"You're going to get out of the plug yourself?" Zhai Tang's eyes swept over like electricity.
"Only this is the only way to be guaranteed!"
Zhai Tang pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, Xiao Zhiyan is still an outsider no matter how he says it, and the forces that he has worked so hard to establish must be in the hands of his own family!" ”
After the eldest brother's pass, Zhai Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, maybe the eldest brother was not as worried about his safety as he imagined, and breaking away from the family was his first plan, but now he had to use the power of the family to establish his own power. Whether it is the Fan family or the Zhai family, the businessman only has interests in his eyes, and the trade with the Dongyu people will make the enemies of the Ming Dynasty stronger, but at this time, he can't stop it, and Lu Fuyou can't stop it, and the people who have the ability to stop it are now indifferent to this set.
Zhai Zhe believed that the Dongyu people must have already made a move, and asked carefully: "Can't the Fan family guarantee the safety of the caravan?" ”
"Fan Dongjia blocked the news very tightly, and it is likely that Dongyu gave him some assurance. But the Fan family is the Fan family, and the Zhai family is the Zhai family, if we can't guarantee the safety of our own caravan, wouldn't we always rely on the Fan family! Zhai Tang gently twisted his sparse beard.
"Yes!"
By the time Zhai Zhe left the study, the sky had completely darkened, and the market that had been busy for a day slowly fell silent.
