159, slow to be king

On the day of the wedding, Zhang Qi accepted Zhang Guang and Qinghua's kneeling and kowtowing as his mother's parent.

As the husband and wife bowed to each other, after being sent into the cave room, the smile on Zhang Qi's face gradually faded, and he glanced at Lu Mu, who left quietly.

There are a total of 300 people in the welcoming team, including NPCs, of which more than 100 people are the people arranged by Zhang Qi for Qinghua, those people have enough experience, as well as innocent identities, the last time they looted the surrounding area of Wuxian County, Zhang Qi brought many Han people from Liaodong, and the identities of these people are an excellent cover-up.

Lu Mu's departure was naturally to arrange these, and after the people who left the weaving net in Liaodong were exchanged with the people in the greeting team, these more than 100 people quietly became Hanmin near Xiangping.

As for Zhang Qi himself, he had already appeared in the inner courtyard of the Taishou Mansion at this time, and Zhang Yi, who was entertaining guests, was sitting opposite him with a red face.

The two of them had a good drink.

"Qi, it would be great if there were such excellent generals as you in the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately, the Han Dynasty has been in power for 70 years, but it has been weak for 70 years, alas."

After that, Zhang Yi glanced at Zhang Qi, and then raised his glass to drink.

Regarding the deep meaning of Zhang Yi's words, Zhang Qi understood after a little taste, this old guy has lost trust in the Han Dynasty, no wonder he is in such a hurry to marry his daughter, and he didn't agree.

However, the in-law relationship was still formed, and this alliance relationship that has existed since ancient times and has a good response makes the words of the two dare to be more explicit.

Zhang Qi smiled, raised his glass and slammed with Zhang Yi: "My sister is married to the son of Taishou, and in the future, Qi will call Taishou an uncle." ”

"Hahaha, why not, for his own nephews, the old man is generous, what do you want, tell your uncle, uncle will do it for you!"

Maybe it was the wine, Zhang Yi was a little arrogant, but his eyes looked at Zhang Qi brightly.

"Tuk-tuk—"

Zhang Qi casually dismissed the Kou table case, and then said slowly: "There are some trivial matters that need to trouble my uncle, I want to open up the trade route from Liaodong to Chang'an, I don't know if my uncle has a way?" ”

"This matter is not difficult, the Zhang family has a ready-made trade route, whether it is Shan Yuting or Chang'an City, Zhang's caravan comes and goes every year, and the old man can ask the housekeeper to arrange it for you."

Zhang Yi waved his hand casually, this is the truth, for a big clan who has been in Liaodong for a long time, the trade route is not difficult for him, otherwise how can the Zhang family have enough wealth to control all the Liaodong army.

Zhang Qi thanked him, and then asked: "Winter is coming, I don't know if my uncle may help me buy a batch of grain and grass, you also know, I have a lot of people there, and I have some problems eating and drinking recently." ”

The people hired and the people who greeted their relatives had all been to Wuhuan, so Zhang Qi believed that Zhang Yi definitely knew about his situation.

"I have heard that Qi Nai is a great talent, and he actually gathered hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time, and the old man has already thought that the Zhang caravan should now raise grain and grass in various counties, and after a month, it can send hundreds of thousands of stones to Wuhuan to relieve coal burning for you.

However, "

Zhang Yi said and glanced at Zhang Qi meaningfully: "I heard that Qi built a city in Wuhuan, I don't know what the purpose of this move is?" ”

Zhang Qi smiled: "The Huns are fierce, if there is no city wall, the poor people I gathered will be completely exposed to the sword soldiers, I am not afraid of my uncle's jokes, I am a careful and good person, and I can't see the tragedy in the world." ”

"Oh, that Qi Ke is going to build the city wall faster, I heard that the two tribes of the left king are now very irritable, and the tribes east of the curtain have been in dire straits recently."

Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows: "Yes, then I have to be careful, alas, it is late at night, and my nephew will not disturb my uncle's rest, so I will retreat first." ”

Zhang Yi stood up and sent Zhang Qi to the door: "Old man, his body and bones are not as good as those of young people, and Uncle Grain and Grass will send them to Wuhuan as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Qi nodded, and pretended to be resentful as he walked: "Uncle is talented, and now he is in the prime of life, but unfortunately the Han Emperor has no eyes, if Qi is the Han Emperor, how can my uncle also be a prince." ”

"Hahaha, how can Qi say that, the old man doesn't have that talent."

"Uncle doesn't need to be thin, I believe there will be that day."

As Zhang Qi's figure disappeared around the corner of the porch, his last words also reached Zhang Yi's ears.

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Yi stood outside the door for a long time, looking at the bright moon, he stroked his long beard: "Prince"

——

The next day, Qinghua followed Zhang Guang and served tea to Zhang Yi and his wife.

After Zhang Yile took it, he handed a wooden box to Qinghua: "From now on, we will be a family, you and Guang'er have a good life, why do you need to talk to Chan'er, your mother or even the old man, don't treat yourself as an outsider." ”

Qinghua nodded shyly, called her father and mother, and then went to the other courtyards to pay respects.

Zhang Qi's house, after waking up from his sleep, he summoned Lu Mu.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Qi nodded and washed under the costumes of the female soldiers.

"Send a message back to Wuhuan, let those spy merchants stop their activities on the grassland, and only leave the web of investigation news, in addition, let all the spy merchants come and go to Liaodong, bring Wuhuan's syrup and salt, and follow Zhang's caravan to the Central Plains and Shan Yuting."

"No!"

Lu Mu took the order and left, Zhang Qi talked with Zhang Yi late at night last night, and when he came back, he was already sleepy, but after waking up, he still understood Zhang Yi's reminder last night, and the two departments of Zuo Wang seemed to be plundering the grassland.

As for when he will cross the Great Xing'an Mountains and come to the Northeast Plain, Zhang Qi thinks that it will not be this year, everyone is equal under the heavy snow, and Yi Zhi is not stupid enough to follow Yu Dan.

However, the investigation still has to be explored, Hu Shui plundered the tribes of the two kings this time, so that the secret agents and merchants returned to Wuhuan in advance, and the news was a little slower, but it was also because of this that the secret agents and merchants just rubbed shoulders with the army of the two kings and were able to return to Wuhuan unharmed.

After washing, Zhang Qi put on his clothes and came to the courtyard, Zhang Yi's attitude last night was already obvious, but it was not enough, for these big clans, Zhang Qi understood very well, and before he was completely sure of entering Liaodong, he would not reveal any clear intention to dominate.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

Understood Zhang Yi's thoughts, a few days later, after Zhang Qi and Qinghua met once, they left Liaodong, on the way back, the secret agents and merchants had formed several caravans, Zhang Qi met with them, the soldiers of Tiger Ben and Eagle Strike had already returned to the camp, they were going with Zhang's caravan this time, and they didn't need elite guards.

"You all know what to do, absorb those poor people, establish a stronghold for weaving webs, and within a year, I will see an intelligence network across the five counties."

"For the king! Die well deserved! ”

The spy businessmen's eyes were hot, and with the far-reaching car marks, they set out on the road, and Zhang Qi and they also rode back to Wuhuan.
