The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 208 Chapter 190
Duan Wuji and Tie Niu rushed to the gate of Chai Mansion, it was already dark, Tie Niu stood on the steps and said to the gate officer: "Everyone, which one of you go in and let us know that we have arrived."

The door official looked up and recognized them. The two people often go in and out of this chai mansion. Which one of the officials present doesn't know each other?

The head of the guards came over with a smile.

"Hey, aren't these two Bosses Duan? Boss Duan, just now my young master ordered that you don't need to report when you enter the door. You two can go in directly.

Xiao Zhangzi, Xiao Lizi, you two hurriedly lead the horses of the two bosses to the manger behind to feed them with good grass and materials, and tell you, this was ordered by Mr. Chai himself. You two are doing business Be serious. "

The two listened and nodded.

"Boss, we both know, don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."

"Hmph, it's best if you don't make any mistakes. If you make a mistake, you two have to take care of yourself. Go."

The two took the horse's stiff rope from Duan Wuji and Tie Niu, and immediately led them to the side door.

The two of them entered the gate, rushed straight to where Chai Shao was going.

Entering Chai Shao's room, I saw Chai Shao drinking tea and chatting with Duan Changqing and his brothers. Seeing Duan Wuji and Tieniu walking in, the four of them quickly got up and gave way.

Chai Shao poured two cups of fragrant tea and handed them over.

"You two virtuous brothers, have all those porcelains been loaded into the car?"

After hearing this, Tieniu answered first: "Brother Chai, we just came back after the car was loaded.

Hey, you have all loaded the car here, right? "

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Does it need to be said? We just came back, alas, today at least all the goods are packed, and tomorrow you can go out with peace of mind."

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and asked, "Brother Chai, is it still 50 taels of silver to hire this carriage?"

"Of course, this is the old official price, how can it change?"

"Then the wages of these guards have not changed?"

"There is no change, it is still the old official price. If there is any change, I will let you know in advance."

"Well, as long as there is no change, I will be confused when the time comes."

Chai Shao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Now we finally have nothing to do, let's have a big meal tonight, and I will practice it for you today.

Come on, what would you like to eat? "

Duan Wuji rolled his eyelids and said: "I don't care what I eat. How about I return the dumplings. Serve two big bowls and eat and go to practice immediately. What a hassle to eat at the banquet! It also brings infinite trouble to the kitchen brain."

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Brother, I will eat whatever you eat, since you want to eat dumplings, then I will follow.

Brother Chai, let me make dumplings too. "

Chai Shao looked at Duan Changqing and his three brothers.

"Three virtuous brothers, what are you going to eat?"

Duan Changqing laughed and said: "My brother Wuji eats dumplings, and my brother Tieniu also eats dumplings. How can the three of us eat anything else? We might as well eat dumplings.

Save yourself trouble in that kitchen. "

"Well, good! Let's just make dumplings tonight. It's easier to eat these things, and they're really comfortable when they're hot."

Chai Shao shouted loudly towards the outside: "Come here, tell the kitchen that there is no need to prepare a banquet tonight. We will eat dumplings together tonight."

A servant came in from the outside, and immediately nodded and bowed back after hearing this.

Before long, a big bowl of steaming dumplings was brought up, six people ate around the table, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up immediately.

Duan Wuji looked at several people and said: "Brothers, let's chat, we're going back to our room to practice."

After speaking, the two returned to the room.

The next morning, several people got up early, everyone ate something, and immediately started packing.

Chai Shao ordered someone to put a pile of silver in front of everyone.

"Brother Wuji, this is 500 taels of silver. Here is the 1000 taels of silver I left over from yesterday. The other 500 taels of silver belong to Brother Changqing and their three brothers. Brother, you can see the distribution."

Duan Wuji smiled.

"I'll take 1000 taels, brother Tieniu, you can take 2000 taels, and the remaining 500 taels, brother Changqing will take 2000 taels, brother Changhong will take 500 taels, and brother Changhao will take 1000 taels.

Let’s start with Brother Changhao’s spending on this road. After spending Brother Changhao’s and Brother Changhong’s, after spending Brother Changhong’s, let’s spend Brother Changqing’s.In the end, spend it on me and brother Tieniu.

After all, whoever is carrying money will feel tired and panic, and it will be easier to spend as soon as the money is over.Everyone collect their money, and let's leave right away. "

Several people opened their bags, and according to what Duan Wuji said just now, each of them put away the money.

When several people walked outside the door, servants had already brought their horses over. They got on their horses and ran straight towards Sitongjiao under the leadership of Chai Shao.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Several virtuous brothers, you go slowly first, I will go there and get all the vehicles out."

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao slammed the horse, and the horse hissed and rushed forward.

When the five people arrived at the entrance of the four-way walkway, they saw a large group of carriages rushing out of the walkway under the guard of the guards.

Duan Wuji counted, ho!Twenty carts were loaded with the cloth alone, and 22 carts were loaded with the tea.

Duan Wuji smiled and said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, our team has seriously exceeded the standard this time. We originally planned to have [-] large vehicles, but now there are seven more large vehicles. Our team is suddenly magnificent A lot."

After hearing this, Chai Shao smiled wryly and said: "Who said it wasn't, I caught these seven carts and seven guards temporarily, and I was so anxious at the time.

Alas, this matter is troublesome, it is really not a law!

Brother, this caravan will be handed over to you, you can take care of it. "

Duan Wuji glanced at the guards and said, "Scatter your horse poles and tie them on the carriage, and let's set off right away."

After hearing this, everyone immediately tied the poles of the horses to the carriage they were guarding, and then followed the carriage to the north.

Duan Wujiniu turned his head and said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, you should wait for our good news at home, and see you in 20 days."

Chai Shao listened and smiled.

"Okay, okay! I'll wait for your return in victory, and then I'll serve you the wine to welcome the wind, brother, take care all the way, then I'll go back."

After speaking, Chai Shao immediately rode back.

The caravan left Taiyuan City and headed north all the way, following the familiar road all the way north. It was really hungry for food and thirsty, and Xiao Xing for the night!

Needless to say, the hardships along the way, but fortunately, the journey was peaceful. After seven or eight days of hard work, the caravan finally reached the Great Wall.

Duan Wuji saw that it was going to be late, so he ordered people to find a big carriage shop and stayed there.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Tell the guards to keep an eye on our goods, have dinner and rest early, and tomorrow morning we will leave the customs early, and try to reach the Qingcaotan residents before dark."

Tieniu divided the guards into three shifts, with more than 20 people in each shift. Duan Changqing, Duan Changhong, and Duan Changhao were the team leaders respectively, and each shift was on duty for more than an hour.

The next day, the caravan started to move at the beginning of Yinshi. At this time, it was just dawn, and everyone hurriedly ate breakfast. Duan Changhao paid the shop fee, and the caravan left the shop and went straight to the pass of the Great Wall. Just ran over.

Duan Wuji rushed to the front of the team first, and when he reached the pass, Duan Wuji reined in the horse and jumped off the horse lightly.

Duan Wuji said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Everyone, you have worked hard, do you still know me?"

The soldiers guarding the border took a look.

"Hehe, isn't this Boss Duan? Boss Duan, are you going to sell again?"

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Isn't it? What are you going to eat if you don't sell goods? Ladies and gentlemen, you've worked hard, let's get rid of this roadblock and let's go.

Hey, brethren, check our cargo! "

"Boss Duan, do you still need to inspect your goods? Hurry up and let them go. What are you doing so hard for?"

The little leader guarding the border gave a loud order.

Who would dare to say anything to the soldiers guarding the border?Everyone ran over and worked together to remove the roadblock.

When Duan Wuji saw him, he waved to his caravan, and everyone rushed to the carriage to pass the gate immediately.

Duan Wuji saw that his team had passed, and smiled to the soldiers guarding the border: "Brothers, this time we come back, and we will buy you a few more cows, you just wait to improve the food."

The soldiers guarding the pass were very happy when they heard it.

"Boss Duan, thank you, we are waiting for your return, don't forget it!"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't forget it. Unless there is a major change, I will definitely get it for you, so don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji turned his horse's head and chased his horse straight towards his team. When he caught up with his team, Duan Wuji said loudly to all the personnel: "Everyone, we have entered the Turkic army now." Everyone has to pay attention to safety! All guards, please quickly change our Hanfu and put on the Turkic clothes! This way we will be safer.

Brothers, who of you still has a sandbag on your body, take it off quickly, it is dangerous to wear that thing in this Turkic place! "

After hearing this, everyone followed suit. Everyone changed their Turkic clothes for Turkic clothes, and picked sandbags for sandbags. They worked for a long time before they packed up.

Duan Wuji saw that everyone had packed up, so he said loudly: "Everyone pay attention, from now on we will enter that Turkic territory.

People who don't know Turkic are not allowed to talk nonsense when they see Turkic people, so let those who understand Turkic speak to answer.

Did you hear me clearly? "

After hearing this, everyone shouted loudly: "Boss Duan, we all heard clearly, so don't worry."

"Well, that's good, Brother Tieniu, the team leader ahead, let's set off right away."
