Guanzhou Ghost Gate Pass, which is more north than Beizhou City, if the North is the gateway of Great Yan, then Guanzhou is the gateway of Northland, and Ghost Gate Pass is the gateway of Guanzhou.

And the Li family cavalry who has been guarding the pass all the year round is not the same as in the past, this team has traveled thousands of miles, and the wolf cavalry that has been resting all morning is not here to find fault, but to pick up the Beiting merchants who went to Beizhou to trade half a month ago, although they throw stones and arrows at the pass at every turn on weekdays, but this time it is very customary, because the caravan will bring back a lot of grain.

As long as the caravan is received safely, the merchants will be very good at giving each of these hundred people a palm-sized bag of grain, which is a rare treasure for the ordinary people of Beiting who are either stewed meat or jerky on weekdays.

With the sound of drums, the door was slowly opened, and a cart of oxen and horses slowly walked out of the door, the servants drove the cattle and horses, and the merchants sat on their horses and followed the grain cart slowly, staring at the cart with their eyes fixed, for fear of missing it.

On each side of the convoy, a group of about ten cavalry followed, and walked towards the Beiting cavalry outside the gate.

The leading merchant saw the wolf riding from a distance, so he walked to the cavalry on the left, dismounted skillfully, ran to the cavalry, saluted and talked slightly, and after a while, he separated from the cavalry and led the merchant to the north court cavalry.

When they got closer, the Northland cavalry pointed to the wolf riding centurion, looked at the merchant, and took the lead in speaking: "You translate to him, the people and goods have been delivered, and leave in time for a stick of incense, otherwise get off the horse immediately, pick whatever you want, we have to compare!"

The merchant looked at the wolf rider with a flattering face, and he didn't know what to say, the centurion looked at the Li family cavalry who didn't even bother to take off his face armor, snorted, and nodded reluctantly.

Without saying a word, the cavalry who received the response turned their horses and ran towards the cavalry stationed in the same place, and returned to the pass in a group.

The wolf riders looked enviously at the armor on the Li family's light horse, the North Court lacked iron weapons, and the armor was only equipped with the three heavy horses in the North Garden, and the remaining poor iron armor was only divided by the generals from all walks of life.

The merchant took a slightly larger grain bag from a grain cart and handed it to the centurion, who immediately smiled, stretched out his hand to open it, grabbed a handful of grain, and his whole face went up, and the unique fragrance came to his face instantly, and the centurion was intoxicated.

Then the merchant distributed the small bags that had already been divided into large pockets to the cavalrymen, and the cavalrymen rushed forward to collect them.

When the distribution was complete, the centurion waved his hand and led the caravan to the north.

At the pass in the distance, Ma Xianxian, the guard who had been stationed here for many years, watched from afar, and Zhou Xiaofu, the deputy general next to him, looked at Ma Xianxian, who was distracted, and said: "Old Ma, what do you say you are doing here? The prince asked you to go to Guanzhou to be a Guanzhou general a few years ago, but you don't do it, but in this place where birds don't lay eggs, isn't this occupying and not letting me take the position?"

Ma Xianxian, who came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Xiaofu and smiled heartily: "Haha, my stinky temper is not allowed to smoke those officials and masters when I go to Guanzhou, we are not born to be the life of the master, or here to guard the door number for the prince, didn't Lao Tzu just watch the door for the prince before?"

Lao Zhou also said with a smile: "If you want me to say, who guards this broken door is not guarded, and it is interesting to have a bigger door to guard!"

The old horse patted him on the shoulder and smiled and asked, "How big is the door?"

Lao Zhou was silent, and the two stood at the gate and watched a team of scouts dispatch at the door, nagging each other's parents.

And the southern merchants who have just walked out of Huaizhou, want to be in a hurry than the merchants of the North Garden, this caravan is very good, a large number of cattle and sheep in exchange for the North Court will have another convoy to drive to the south of the Yangtze River, at this moment the caravan only has a carriage and a cart of North Court jewelry and all kinds of precious furs.

At the end of the caravan, a group of cavalry was not far away, responsible for sending the caravan out of the north, and then how to do it was not asked, in the middle of the caravan, a luxurious and huge carriage seemed to stand out from the crowd, and there were even four horses, which showed the luxury of the owner of this carriage.

In the middle of the carriage, a middle-aged man with a rich body was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the sound of laughter and slapstick in his ears, he said helplessly: "Lin'er, Xiang'er, don't make trouble, I don't know how big the person is! Everyone is cautious on the way back, for fear of attracting thieves, you two don't know what to do!"

It was the two sisters Qin Lin and Qin Xiang who had a relationship with Li Bad in Beizhou, Qin Lin stopped her sister's strange hand and said: "Daddy, in addition to Beizhou, we have gone out of Huaizhou, and we don't see bandits, you must have lied to us before, fortunately you came with us this time!"

Qin Huaiyuan had a headache and said: "What do the girl's family know? Don't you see the Li family's cavalry following behind? With them, which gang of bandits dares to make a move, when we leave the jurisdiction of Huaizhou, they will all go back, and then we will have to see our luck, if we run into the Zhou army from time to time, it's okay to say, if we can't meet it, we can only resign ourselves to fate!"

Qin Lin said: "Isn't there still the guards of our households? Presumably the bandits also have some scruples!"

As he spoke, he saw Qin Xiang looking out the window in a daze, so he said, "What is the little girl looking at, so distracted." Qin Xiang, who was distracted, was suddenly startled, hurriedly lowered the car curtain, and said something in her sister's ear.

After a while, Qin Lin spoke: "Daddy, let's rest first, I'll go back to the carriage with my sister." After speaking, without waiting for Qin Huaiyuan to respond, he opened the curtain and got out of the car, Qin Huaiyuan could only sigh helplessly, and then closed his eyes and went to recuperate.

The sisters, who had dismounted, did not return to their carriage, but trotted to the rear of the resting caravan.

Li Bad, who was following the caravan south, was eating the dry food he was carrying, but when he saw two graceful figures running towards him, he immediately squinted his eyes and looked at it.

As soon as the two sisters stepped forward, Qin Lin took the lead in speaking: "Gongzi Li, we meet again!" Qin Xiang gave a reserved salute and did not dare to speak.

Li Bad squinted his eyes and looked at it, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the two young ladies, so he asked, "Two girls, let's sleep, have you seen it?" Fortunately, it was taken in time, otherwise it would definitely be scolded for being a disciple, there are so many people here, the impact is not good, and he thought in his mind.

Qin Lin hugged his fists with a smile: "Under Qin Lin!" Li Gang suddenly remembered, it wasn't those two sisters in Beizhou City!

"Oh, it turned out to be two girls, I'm clumsy, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

After speaking, looking at the two sisters with a smile, Qin Lin responded generously, and Qin Xiang blushed when she saw Li Bad looking at her, and instinctively hid behind her sister, how dare she see people.
