Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward with an arrow, first supported Han Jing, and then laughed and said: "Good kill, good kill! This old thing takes others for fools, but he doesn't know that he himself is the stupidest one! If I were you, I would wait until I crossed the Baigou River to kill him." Let him serve you carefully all the way, and in the end he will still be a lonely ghost!"

"Second brother, don't mess around!" As long as he doesn't go into battle to fight, Chai Rong always looks unhurried, waving his hand, and laughing and drinking, "There are a thousand days to catch a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?" That old eunuch has become an old man, and he really followed him all the way to the Baigou River, and our brothers don't know how many times he has been sold!"

"That's the same, we can't keep our eyes open day and night!" Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and nodded with a smile. However, he quickly shook his head again and quickly added, "It's still a pity, though." This person's Khitan dialect is more authentic than you, eldest brother, and he is familiar with the road back to the Central Plains. Killing him so early is a waste of having a ready-made guide!"

"It's a pity that you don't do business!" Chai Rong glared at him, laughing and quipping. Then he turned his gaze to Ning Ziming, who was already a little distracted, and comforted him in a low voice: "I thought you would be soft-hearted, and I was thinking about how to persuade you to make a decision as soon as possible." I didn't expect to underestimate you. Shi Bo had long said that there was no credible person around him. And this old thing doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth at all, if you keep him for one more day, we will take one more risk!"

"The younger brother understands, the younger brother just made the eldest brother and the second brother worried!" Ning Ziming turned his head and forced a smile to give his hand.

When he did it just now, he thought that he couldn't affect his two brothers and a sister-in-law because of his indecision. And now, he suddenly found that he had unconsciously become accustomed to using killing to solve trouble. As for whether this change is good or bad, looking around, no elder can give him guidance.

's father said that he picked it up, and the two uncles have not taken the initiative to contact him once since he was kidnapped by Guo Yunming last year, presumably because he didn't want to be implicated by the Shi family. And this time I returned to the south, I don't know what year and month it was when I came to Liaodong again! Even if I could finally accumulate enough strength, who would dare to guarantee that my father would really be able to wait that long?

"My own brother, what's polite!" Knowing that Ning Ziming had a knot in his heart that could not be untied for the time being, Chai Rong didn't say much. smiled, and turned his head to arrange the return to the south.

With the war horses and supplies that Yelu Yishe took the initiative to "send" to the door, the journey naturally became much easier. The four brothers and sisters dressed as merchants selling horses, joined up with Guo Nu and other three dead soldiers, bypassed a few checkpoints and military villages all the way, and arrived in Jizhou safely in just over ten days.

Further south, it is too conspicuous to drive a large group of military horses through the market. Fortunately, Chai Rong left a secret pile here, found an opportunity to secretly pick up, replaced the military horse with a horse and a cart, and filled the cart with licorice, rehmannia root, safflower, astragalus, parsnip and other grassland specialties medicinal materials, and the four brothers and sisters became popular local medicinal herb merchants.

The guys who originally stayed in Danzhou, Jizhou and other places to buy local products also drove their cars and horses to meet. The further south the caravan went, the larger it grew, and the more goods it contained. By the time the caravan arrived at the Youdu, that is, near Nanjing, the capital of the Liao State, there were no flaws, including all kinds of customs clearance procedures, which had already passed through the yamen under the Southern Privy Council.

When she arrived at her door again, Han Jing was embarrassed. I want to go home and get together with my parents, but I don't know if I have a chance to see Brother Zhao again. Thinking of returning south with Zhao Kuangyin, but he was reluctant to his parents, and he didn't know if he would be looked down upon by his future parents-in-law and mother-in-law along the way, and he would always be cold-eyed from now on. Throughout the day, looking forward and backward, I was in a dilemma, and I looked even more pitiful than another knife in my arm.

Chai Rong is from the past, how can he not detect Han Jing's emotional changes? found an opportunity, gathered the four brothers and sisters together, and proposed with a smile, "Second brother, Jing Niang, you two don't think I'm talking too much as an elder brother." Thousands of miles along the way, and thousands of miles with each other, the blind can see what is going on between you. It's better to just pierce this layer of window paper and give each other a happy word. Although Han Liao is an enemy country, there is no need to mix state affairs and family affairs. Aside from state affairs, the Zhao family of Bianliang and the Han family of Youzhou can be regarded as the right people!"

Before the words fell, Han Jing was so ashamed that she hid her face and fled. His legs suddenly lost the strength to run too far, hiding behind a willow tree that was only the thickness of his arm, and eavesdropping on Zhao Kuangyin's answer with his ears pricked up.

"Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I've been thinking about how to tell Jing Niang these days!" Although Zhao Kuangyin prides himself on being rude, he also has a red face. arched his hand and said loudly: "I, when I was as old as Ziming, my family had already arranged a family affair at home. The surname is He, and his father and his father are friends of life and death. Although, although He's is not quite to my liking, after she passes the door, she can also be filial to her in-laws and run the family well. So, if it is, if you are greedy, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will make Jing Niang suffer a lot of grievances!"

"You ......" Chai Rong heard this, and immediately began to bare his teeth, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

It's no wonder that his second brother is simply decisive in everything, but he drags on Jing Niang. It turned out that between the two of them, there was such a big mountain.

In these years, there were many wars, and the number of adult women who survived was several times that of men. Therefore, polyandry and concubines are also very common among the people. But with Han Jing's family background, she must not be wronged to be a concubine. And if Zhao Kuangyin divorced his previously married wife for no reason, and he couldn't explain it to his father-in-law's family, his own reputation would instantly stink.

"Little brother, little brother has always been embarrassed, so it has been delayed so far!" Zhao Kuangyin also knew that he was a little sorry for people in this matter. Secretly glanced at the willow tree where Jing Niang was hiding, gritted his teeth and added: "The matter of stopping his wife and remarrying, the younger brother will not dare to do it no matter what." Therefore, after returning to the Central Plains, I immediately followed my eldest brother to serve in the army. As long as you win fame immediately, you will be qualified to join the family, but, just, just have to grieve Jing Niang for a long time!"

This is almost the only way, according to the custom since the Middle Tang Dynasty, as long as the status is sufficient, even if you are not a prince, you can marry multiple wives at the same time. Officially, it is called a concubine, and the wives are not big or small with each other, and the children born can also be regarded as concubines, and they have the right to inherit the family business equally. (Note 1)

Chai Rong traveled south and north, and was well-informed. Of course, I understand that Zhao Kuangyin's idea is very feasible. looked at his second brother who was already sweating, and then looked at Han Jing, who was hiding behind a tree and refused to show his head, smiled slightly, and deliberately scolded with a straight face: "You think it is beautiful, Jing Niang is not owed you in her previous life, why should you wait for you to win fame? I think, forget it, you two have a long pain is better than a short pain......

"Who said I didn't want to wait?" Before he finished speaking, Han Jing had already jumped out from behind the tree. Three steps and two steps "flew" in front of Chai Rong, pointed at his nose and screamed, "You are not his own brother, why should you call the shots for him? As long as he does not live up to me, I will follow him in this life." Sensei said that if you wait for three or five years, you will wait for a lifetime, and you are willing!"

Note 1: Merging concubines is a polygamous custom that prevailed in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Different from the traditional polyandry concubines, low-level officials and local magnates, wealthy merchants, can also marry multiple wives like princes. In the Dunhuang Tang household registration discovered in modern times, the phenomenon of a man registering and receiving two wives is very common. It has spread from the aristocracy to the people.
