In mid-August, autumn is crisp and cool, with a touch of coolness in the morning and evening. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and shops all over Chaojiazhuang will carry out promotional activities. The moon cakes launched by restaurants and restaurants are sesame filling, bean paste filling, and peanut fill......ing, with a complete range of good quality and low price.

People from all over the surrounding towns flocked to the market.

The city is full of people, peddlers and pawns, and caravans and traffic. There are street stalls selling vegetables or their own souvenirs, there are tricks, and there are cart selling ......, which is very lively.

At Jinsha Wharf, dozens of large ships with deep drafts and thousands of large ships with official and commercial flags slowly left the port, and the fleet entered the water and turned to the Grand Canal to sail north.

The ship was full of grain and was sent to the Liao country, which was short of food.

Yelude, the king of the northern royal brother, expressed his willingness to buy grain and reached a cooperation with Chaojiazhuang. Intensify efforts to procure grain from Cai Jing and the eunuchs. From the waterway transportation, it began to transport the northern city of Jizhou.

Jerod was heavy in exchange for cattle, sheep, horses, or silver or gold. Both sides purchase at a low price, and sell at the market price, so that the profit is very considerable, in addition to the risk of killing the head, the profit is a lot of money.

It's very promising!

The war situation in the north is not optimistic, Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zongdian can't stay longer.

The grain deal was reached, and it was decided to return by boat after the festival.

Chao Gai is a person who values love and righteousness, and he has to express this in-law relationship. A long time ago, the military factory was ordered to forge a set of iron armor and weapons for each of them. In addition, prepare some military material assistance in advance.

The military camp in the west of the city.

In addition to the training of military officers on the school field, there are a lot of large wooden boxes piled up. Han Shizhong, Yu Tai, Li Kai, Yelu Zonglin and others will be busy here.

Open these wooden boxes, they are full of iron armor, maces and other weapons and equipment.

The iron armor is the authentic Song Dynasty infantry armor, the mace, the axe are the most recently forged heavy weapons, and the waist knife is the signature equipment of the soldiers of the pro-guard battalion.

Yelu Zonglin saw his two brothers coming, and explained these equipment very excitedly. The iron armor is sold at a low price by officials, and the lower part is sold to it, which was originally intended to be sold, but now the other party has sent a congratulatory gift of cattle and sheep, which is directly sent.

Maces and axes are even more indestructible, specifically against the heavy armor of the Jurchens. Those waist knives are even sharper, cutting through iron armor like cutting tofu.

Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zongdian, and the Secret Saint tried it personally, and the joy blossomed.

"A thousand sets of iron armor, five thousand weapons, and a thousand swords, count as my aid." Chao Gai watched as the boxes kept being moved over, and explained the quantity.

Although this batch of weapons and equipment is not much, it can definitely form an elite. The Chao family army also needs a lot of equipment, so it's a lot of support. Yelu Zonglin knew a little about it, so he didn't forget to explain the reason.

"Zong Lin, you have also studied for so long, and you have returned with more than ten people. Train elites for your father, and the Khitan people will see you turn the tide in the future. ”

Yelu Zonglin let out an "um" and nodded heavily.

Chao Gai asked Yelu Zonglin to take his two brothers to go shopping, and then returned to Chao Mansion with a few ladies, Li Qingzhao, Li Shishi, and Li Qingwan The three daughters are pregnant women, and they should not be too tired every day, and they should have a good rest.

It's just that after returning to the mansion, several ladies were disobedient and ran to the martial arts arena again.

Time is in a hurry, and it is August 15th!

The barracks take turns to take half a holiday, and factories and workshops have a holiday to reunite with their families. Chaojiazhuang is full of people, restaurants and tea shops, overcrowded, crowded people on the pedestrian street, shoulder to shoulder, drum music is noisy, a festive.

There are too many ladies, and I can't help myself!

In the morning, Chao Gai accompanied his wife to train or go to the barracks. In the afternoon, I accompanied them to go shopping and became a bagbag, running around, looking here and there, looking at it or not, and not buying it until dusk.

In the evening, everyone who has a family goes home for the feast.

Wu Yong held a banquet in the name of Chao Mansion in the Heaven and Earth Hotel to invite Liu Gechang, and Cai Gan hosted a meal and admired the moon for a person with status and a single person. lest they touch the scene during the festival and feel the hardships of life.

After Chao Gai showed up and ate a few glasses of wine, he returned to the house to enjoy the moon with a few ladies. Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao had the opportunity to drink three glasses of wine, and they almost burst into tears, and they had a big opinion on Chao Gai.

After the family banquet, Chao Gai and his wife went to the Juyi Hall to drink and talk with many bachelors. Guo Sheng, Chao Qiang, Xu Ning, Lin Chong and others came hand in hand with their wives, and more than 20 people appeared in pairs, which stimulated many people.

Having a home is better than being single after all!

At the banquet, Chao Gai used the tone of the past to educate those bachelors. A lady is the best, but having more ladies is a kind of torture. He said very quietly, but he was heard by Hua Zi, and then Li Qingwan and Master Li all knew about it, and their eyes were quite unkind when they looked at Chao Gai.

Aside from this little episode, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was very rich. In addition to celebrating, it is also practiced for Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zonglin, and Baomi Sheng. Many generals of the Chao family army rushed over in groups to toast.

On this night, the wine was admired to the moon, and everyone played cockfighting, wrestling and other games outside. I had a lot of fun until the early hours of the morning, when I was full of wine and food.

As for Chao Gai saying something that shouldn't be said, he was taken away by several ladies to clean up first.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.

Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zonglin, and Baomi Sheng boarded the boat on the dock and returned. Chao Gai didn't call anyone else, but only brought a few ladies to see him off. The Yelu sect, who had taken turns to stay and study, had drunk too much electricity and could not come.

Yerodari's eyes were red, and he took out a gift for his father, a glittering sword, a dozen bottles of fine red wine, and several large bags of moon cakes, and parted with his two brothers in tears, and watched the ship go away.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I'll see you again in the future!" Chao Gai hugged the girl's fragrant shoulder.

"Well, I believe you." Jerodari nodded heavily.

Everyone returned to Chaojiazhuang by boat, Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Tali went to the military camp in the east of the city. Chao Gai and Master Li returned to Chaofu.

Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao are either swinging instruments or talking about poetry and songs. Chao Gai came to the willow tree and made the soup by himself.

At this time, Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu came together, looking hurried, and at a glance, something big had happened.

"My lord, there are a few emergencies."

Sure enough, without waiting for Chao Gai to ask, Wu Yong took the lead in speaking.

"Well, there's no hurry, the sky can't fall." Chao Gai wiped his hands with a cloth, motioned to a few people to sit down in a hurry, and took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for a few people.

"My lord, there are three things." Wu Yong picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "The first thing is that Song Jiang, a small official in Yuncheng, killed someone and is on the run. ”

"Well, there's such a thing?" Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Who did he kill?" ”

"An outer house, Yan Po pity." Wu shook his head and sighed.

Sure enough, it was this woman. The look on Chao Gai's face became a little strange. Immediately thought that in the original trajectory, it was also during this time period that Song Jiang caused trouble because of Chao Tianwang, and Wu Yong sent Liu Tang to send a letter to send gold, and killed Yan Poxi, and since then he has been on the run and embarked on a road of no return.

Originally, the trajectory changed drastically, and he wouldn't have deliberately messed with this guy. Thought this big event wouldn't happen again. Unexpectedly, I couldn't escape fate. Kurosaburo didn't know what was going on, killed the woman and started running away.

"Gazzle, do you know what's going on?"

Wu Yong had been paying attention to Song Jiang all the time, knowing it clearly, and nodded strangely: "I know." As far as I know, after Shandong Shiyu learned the news of the lord's wedding, he may be jealous or envious. I don't know which tendon I smoked, and under the matchmaker's matchmaking, I accepted a singing girl as a foreign house, and I have lived a chic life so far. This Yan Po Xi is indeed a beauty, twenty-eight years old, and her figure is ......."

Chao Gai is very familiar with this paragraph, and I wanted to continue listening to it. I saw that the three ladies were all approaching for some reason, and seeing that Mr. Wu was talking very interestingly, he hurriedly interrupted solemnly.

"Hey, brother, skip this section, I'm not interested in knowing his private life. I just want to know why Song Laosan killed people and ran away. ”

Wu Yong nodded, and then told the whole story.

This matter starts with the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi escorting the birth gang to Huangnigang. The leader of the gang of strongmen can be confirmed to be Han Bolong after the oral statement of the personnel, and this guy who has disappeared for a few months went out to frame a false accusation.

Liang Shijie of the Hebei Daimyo Mansion tracked down this group of people and didn't say anything.

Song Jiang took Yan Po as a foreign house, and he had long been at odds with Zhang Sanlang. But the newly recruited apprentice Wang San is not a good bird, so he cuckolds him. Basically, the development of the story is not much different from the original trajectory.

The bad thing was on Han Bolong's head, not to send a letter, but to send someone to Yuncheng Oolong Courtyard, and when he saw Yan Poxi, he vaguely said that the birthday gang sold the stolen goods, and handed over some gold and silver jewelry, and then Song Jiang killed people.

"Hey, without Zhang San, there is Wang San, and Han Bolong, this is fate!" After Chao Gai figured out the whole story, he felt silent for Song Jiang.

"Closely monitor Songjiazhuang's every move and figure out the direction of the other party's escape. In addition, let the scouts on the Qingzhou side pay attention and not slack off. ”

"Yes, the younger brother will supervise it after the meeting." Wu Yong and Xu Guanzhong received orders one after another. As the two of them looked at Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Commander, and motioned for him to report.

Zhu Wu nodded, and then reported: "Lord, the other two things are the news from Bianliang City. The person that the lord once paid attention to, the card army named Wang Qing in Kaifeng Mansion has been imprisoned for hooking up with Tong Guan's daughter, and he will be assassinated in Shaanzhou in the near future. ”

"There's such a thing!" Chao Gai was a little stunned, because of himself. Cai Jing and Tong Guan became in-laws in advance, and also led to one of the four major Kou.

In addition, the news about Wang Jin was not inquired, but when I got the news of Wang Qing, I found that Kong Mu in Kaifeng Mansion had changed people, and after many inquiries in the restaurant, the former Kong Mu Sun Ding was harmed by Gao Yu and sent to Salmon Island two months ago. The people in Bianliang City thought that they were transferred to other places, but few people knew about it. ”

"Damn, this news is exciting enough." Chao Gai jerked his head up when he heard this. Then I figured out that it must have been Xu Ning's incident, which caused this kind-hearted Kaifeng Mansion Confucius to be sent to Shamen Island.

In this case, I had to go to Dengzhou.
