Seeing this, Cao Senjun became more and more suspicious.

The two of them were here asking questions and answering questions one by one, and when they saw that they were at an impasse, they suddenly felt the ground shake.

The military horses outside the camp neighed, hundreds of cavalry stepped on the smoke and dust, Cao Senjun saw the fluttering military flag from a distance, and said unexpectedly: "Why did the general return to the camp in advance?" ”

Li Xiu led his own soldiers into the barracks quickly, only to see more than a dozen carts and a large group of military households near them blocking the avenue at the door, and they were hurriedly giving way, among which there were many civilians with raw faces, and they were not dressed like military households in the north.

He wondered, "What is this for?" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "Back to the general, this is a caravan to sell goods." ”

"Caravans?" Li Xiu became interested, turned over and dismounted.

Li Xiu threw the reins to his soldiers, strode to a board car, lifted the curtain to cover the rain, and looked at the goods on the car.

It's rare, it's all porcelain.

Li Xiu went to look at the next car again: "Who came all the way to our place to do business?" ”

Or is it this petty trade aimed at ordinary people?

The soldier said, "It was Cao Senjun who found it from another camp." ”

As he was talking, Cao Senjun also hurried over here, "General." ”

Li Xiu: "You found it?" ”

Cao joined the army: "Yes." ”

He leaned into Li Xiu's ear and whispered, Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "How many?" ”

Cao joined the army: "There are more than 40 cars in total, and I brought back 30 cars." ”

Li Xiu: "What about the others?" ”

Cao joined the army: "Stayed in the camp over there." ”

Li Xiu: "Oh? ”

Cao Senjun leaned into his ear and whispered how Lu Xu recognized his relatives and kept food.

Li Xiu smiled dumbly, "It's kind of interesting." What did he bring, it wouldn't all be beans and grains, would it? ”

He's tired of all this.

Cao joined the army: "There is a lot of rice and wheat, there is also glutinous rice, I have deducted it, and there is also a lot of wine." ”

Li Xiu's smile deepened, his hometown is in the south, and he loves to eat glutinous rice, but the yield of glutinous rice is low, the price is expensive, and the family has to sell it for money, and he can only eat a few bites during the New Year's Festival.

After he joined the army and fought, it was even more difficult to eat, and every time he went to Qinglong City to do something, he could eat a little bit by the way. I don't want someone to get glutinous rice from their north.

Li Xiu guessed that this kid was also a foodie, "What do you say about that kid?" ”

Cao Senjun smiled bitterly: "You are still asking for debts in the camp tent." ”

Li Xiu paused: "Want to be in debt?" Heh, dare you want to come to me? ”

Cao joined the army: "People are waiting for you to make an IOU, or do you hide?" ”

Li Xiu snorted: "Can I still be afraid of a small merchant?" ”

As a result, when he entered the camp tent, looking at Lu Xu's age, Li Xiu was really a little dumbfounded.

Isn't that about the same age as his son? Look, he's a little younger than his son.

The threat and intimidation methods he was used to were a little embarrassed to show up.

The grain officer who swore to the sky that General Li was not in the barracks: "......"

was already a little hesitant to compromise or not, and Lu Xu, who wanted a sheep with a dagger: "......? ”

Who is this?

Li Xiu: "You are the merchant from Longxing?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's me, who are you?" ”

Li Xiu smiled silently, and the grain officer covered his face: "General." ”

Lu Xu: "??? Didn't you say that the general was not there? Sure enough, it lied to me! ”

The grain officer was speechless, he was indeed not there!

Li Xiu smiled: "I just came back, I heard that you have to find General Ben to make an IOU?" ”

Lu Xu said dogleggedly: "No, general, it was originally this adult who had to give me an IOU, and I don't know him, I only know you, and I dare to believe you when you make an IOU." ”

Food Officer: "......"

What a sue skill! What a sycophant!

Li Xiu pondered for a moment: "Okay, take pen and ink, I'll write it for you." ”

At most, if you don't sign it, this kid won't dare to let him sign it.

Lu Xu hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, how dare I ask for the general's IOU." ”

Food Officer: ???

Lu Xu's eyes were full of admiration, and he was a little shy, and his tone was twisted: "Xiaomin has admired the general's prestige for a long time, and he just wants to see the general, and it is a blessing to meet the general." ”

The grain official slandered, you bastard boy who changes his face faster than a book, you act, you play again.

Lu Xu: "This lord said, as long as I bring autumn grain, I will definitely be able to settle the account for Xiaomin, I don't believe what he said, the general promises a thousand gold, if the general says, Xiaomin can also explain to the brothers below." ”

Li Xiu: "Autumn grain? Do you still have autumn rations? ”

Lu Xu: "Xiaomin's trip was originally to open a trade route and transport grain to the north for trade, of course, to transport autumn grain. ”

Li Xiu was interested: "You talk about it." ”

Lu Xu immediately briefly explained the trade route plan, "When the small people go to the north, they still need to rely on the protection of the general, otherwise in this vast grassland, there are countless barbarians, how dare the small people bring a larger caravan?" ”

Li Xiu smiled, "If you venture to the north to trade, our army will protect your life." ”

Lu Xu climbed down the pole: "Thank you, General!" If the general can give Xiaomin a trust, Xiaomin is willing to give this batch of grain to the general, so that Xiaomin will be more confident when he goes back to lobby the grain merchants in his hometown. ”

The grain officer watched coldly, and scolded in his heart: It turns out that this is your kid's purpose?!

Li Xiu excused himself and said: "You are young, it is not easy to do business, how can this official accept your gift." ”

Lu Xu understood in seconds, and immediately changed his words: "Xiaomin's expression is wrong, it is Xiaomin who is full of admiration when he sees my Daqi lion, the border is bitter cold, and he is willing to do a little bit for the border cause, please be sure to fulfill Xiaomin's intentions and leave the grain and grass in the army!" ”

Li Xiu and the three: "......"

Li Xiu coughed lightly, "Grain officer, what do you think?" ”

The grain official said in his heart, I see this kid watching the dishes.

Just now, he was a penniless tear.

Cao Shenjun, who had not spoken, said calmly: "This little brother Lu is generous and righteous, righteous and upright, and like-minded with our army, I think it is all his mind." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at this Cao Joinjun again.

Cao Shenjun met his gaze, still so calm.

Li Xiu: "Ahem, then let's do it, you can arrange Cao to join the army." ”

Cao joined the army: "Yes." ”

Lu Xu immediately showed a well-behaved and sensible smile.

Cao joins the army: "......"

After the big event, Cao Senjun led him to the junction of the camp and the military camp to set up a stall to sell goods, and then came back and brought him a letter stamped with a private seal, the content was simple and straightforward, to the effect that he was a military merchant in the north. Lu Xu guessed that eighty percent of this letter came from the hands of this Cao Senjun.

He read it respectfully, and silently slandered in his heart, and the words were not as good as those of Junqi.

Cao Senjun: "Can you understand?" ”

Lu Xu: "Hmm...... I can understand the general idea! ”

Cao Senjun nodded: "This is the general's private seal, do you know what it means?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Xu replied immediately, many times happier than the content that he couldn't understand before, and he was full of confidence: "The general trusts me, and the general covers me!" I promise to live up to the general's high expectations! ”

Cao joined the army: "...... Very good, I look forward to you bringing fifty carts of grain and grass next time. ”

He gave another token to Lu Xu, "This is the token of the Northern Army, if you meet any sergeant on the road, as long as you show this order, they will help you." ”

"Thank you, General!" Lu Xu held a somewhat rough wooden token, and cherished it, with this, he was not afraid of trouble on the official road! Not only will the patrols sell his face, but the officials in Shuozhou will also be more polite to him.

Not to mention those bandits and robbers, as long as they are not in a hurry to find encirclement and suppression, and don't they take a detour when they see the token?

Lu Xu was satisfied with the token and expressed his loyalty: "I must bring enough food!" ”

He himself knew that if it weren't for the fact that the Northern Border Army was stationed in the north of Qianjiaoling, and no other caravan dared to come for the time being, he would not be able to donate that little grain in exchange for this token.

The next time he didn't bring enough food, maybe the unruly military council would take the token back on the spot.

The author has something to say:

Cao Senjun: Do you understand the words?

Lu Xu: emmm......

Cao Senjun: Do you understand the meaning?

Lu Xu: Understood! Particularly thorough!

Chapter 148: Borrowing a Cow

On a trip north, I gained an Overseer partner, a group of free employees with room and board, a tea shed along the way, a street, and now a backer in exchange for food.

Lu Xu was very satisfied.

Although the first thigh still does not know how thick it is, it is somewhat pretty, although the second thigh must be maintained by grain and grass, although his street is still in ruins, although his free employees may run away at any time, although thirty carts of grain have been thrown out and have not returned with a sheep......

But Lu Xu was still quite satisfied.
