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

Chapter 710 Chapter 690 Nine: Caravan Northland Tour

After hearing this, the servant ran out immediately, and within a short time, a large bowl of dumplings was brought up.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, why are you starting to serve this dumpling now!
Aren't our buddies leaving tomorrow?How did this thing come up ahead of time!

Does my sister-in-law think that you have been staying at home for too long now?

I urge you to get out! "

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Brother, you are so humorous.

Even if your sister-in-law doesn't know how to count, she can't throw me out!

Isn't this dumpling delicious?

Let's care if he gets out of the dumpling or not?

What are we afraid of if we eat him three times in a row?

Don't you eat dumplings on the first day of the new year?

When we arrived in that foreign country, if we wanted to eat this good food, we would not be able to eat it. "

Tieniu laughed and said, "Brother Chai, you are right.

Let's celebrate the new year today.

Once you eat these dumplings, you don't have to think about anything! "

The three of them picked up their bowls, and put dumplings in their own bowls to eat!

After the three of them were full, the servants at home cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks again.

Then the new tea was brought up.

While drinking tea, Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said, "Brother Chai, this time you are going to do business, you must put on your snakeskin armor!

The three of our brothers are all generals, if they don't wear armor, it's not very safe in the end!

Putting on that thing, our buddies will be much safer. "

Chai Shao smiled wryly after hearing this.

"Brother, don't mention it, I asked my second brother to borrow my snakeskin armor long ago.

How can I wear that snakeskin armor now!

Your brother and I'm not stupid, if there is, can I not wear it? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, it seems that your life is hard enough.

This is a good suit of armor, which was forcibly borrowed by others, but it was gone when I wore it.

Look how aggrieved you are!

You don't have armor, why don't you tell me, brother!Don't I still have this snakeskin armor at home!

Um!Fortunately, it's not too late for you to say it now!I might as well go home and get it. "

Chai Shao was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Brother, how could I forget this problem! Didn't we make an extra snakeskin armor last time.

Why don't you just lend me it to wear.

I'll wear it for you, so it won't grow hairy at home. "

Chai Shao said to a servant standing beside him, "Go out and prepare the horse for my brother, he will go home and fetch the snakeskin armor for me."

The servant ran out immediately after hearing this.

Duan Wuji stood up.

"Brother Chai, Brother Tieniu, rest, I'm going to take the armor."

With that said, Duan Wuji walked out of the room.

Duan Wuji got on his horse outside the gate, hit the horse and ran straight to his home.

When he reached the door of the house, Duan Wuji got off his horse and led his white horse straight to the house.

After entering the yard, Duan Wuji tied the horse to the tree in the yard, and then walked straight to the main house.

When Duan Yanqing saw his youngest son came back, he quickly asked: "Wuji! Why are you back again! Did you leave something behind?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Father, please take out our family's snakeskin armor for me.

I'm going to take it away. "

"What are you doing with it? Aren't you wearing that snakeskin armor?"

"Oh, I don't want it! However, my brother Chai lent him his snakeskin armor, and I put it on for him by mistake for a while, and went to the Turkic country. How can we do without this thing!"

Duan Yanqing smiled.

"Then I'll take it for you, you wait here!"

After speaking, Duan Yanqing went straight to the back room.

Not too long ago, Duan Yanqing took out the snakeskin armor.

Duan Wuji wrapped it in his bag and carried it behind his back, then turned around and walked outside.

Duan Wuji untied his horse from the tree, got on the horse, hit the horse and ran straight to the direction of Taiyuan Fucheng and ran down.

When he came to the gate of Chai Mansion, Duan Wuji turned over and dismounted from his horse. When the guard saw that Duan Wuji had returned, he quickly took his horse and led it to the yard where the horses were raised.

Duan Wuji walked into the gate and went straight to Chai Shao's study.

Then Chai Shao is waiting for him in the house!Seeing that Duan Wuji came in, he quickly asked, "Brother, have you brought back the snakeskin armor?"

"Brother Chai, look at what you said, if I go there in person, can I still get it back!

However, if it is someone else who goes there, it is not certain whether it can be taken out! "

As he said, Duan Wuji took the burden from behind, untied it, and passed the armor over.

Chai Shao was overjoyed when he saw it.

"Brother, it will be much safer if it protects you.

Brother I thank you. "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Okay, okay, Brother Chai, what can we buddies say, thank you!

Well, there is nothing wrong now, I think we brothers should go to rest!

We should leave tomorrow, how can we not keep our spirits up! "

"Well! Alright then! Then you two go to rest in the room where you stayed last time!

Brother, let me go to the back hall for a walk! "

The three brothers broke up after talking, and Duan Wuji and the others immediately went back to the room and went to bed.

Chai Shao went straight to his inner house with a heavy heart.

In the evening, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu came out of the house, and saw that Chai Shao was waiting for them two in the house!

When Chai Shao saw the two of them coming out, he quickly ordered dinner!

This dinner is still dumplings, but the stuffing of the dumplings has changed. It is made of pork at noon, but it is made of mutton this evening.

The three had dinner together, and the three brothers chatted together for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early.

The three of them ate breakfast in a hurry, each of them packed up their things, and then walked straight to the gate.

The servants at home had brought the horses of the three of them over, and the three of them got on the horses. Under the leadership of Chai Shao, the three of them rode their horses and ran straight towards the four-legged walk.

When he arrived at the gate of Sitongjiao, Chai Shao said with a smile: "You two virtuous brothers, just wait here for a while, I will go in and tell them to go!"

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao galloped in.

In a short time, the roaring convoy drove out of the big yard.

The owner of the car shook his whip and slammed the horse tightly, and the guards that Chai Shao hired followed closely on horseback beside the cart, and the horse-blasting pole had already been tied to the cart.

Every guard has a bow and arrow!
Everyone's quiver is full of arrows, and each of us has a long waist knife straddling his waist!
Some people also carry weapons such as long knives or spears!

These weapons are equipped by the guards themselves. They are weapons of their own choice according to their own specialties!

Many of these personnel are old people who have gone through business with Duan Wuji and the others many times.

These people are also very familiar with the strength of Duan Wuji and his team!
Everyone is a veteran who has been to the Turkic country many times. These people don't need Duan Wuji and the others to direct them. These people also know how to go!

These more than 100 large vehicles were discharged one by one for more than a mile!This scene is too big.

When the people in Taiyuan City saw it, they all stopped to watch!

"Oh! How come there are so many carriages! What a fortune!

well!Do you know whose caravan this is?This formation is too scary! "

"What! You don't even know whose caravan this is!
In our Taiyuan Mansion, besides the Chai family, which other family has such a big momentum!

Do you even need to ask this! "

"Brother, in our Taiyuan mansion, apart from the Chai family in the north of the city, we count the third section in the west of Taiyuan city, and those three families are also very powerful now!

I heard that the three families are not much different from the Chai family!

Who doesn't know!There are three sections in the west of Taiyuan City, rich in wealth, great in power and good in people! "

These people were discussing on the street, watching the carriages pass by their side one by one!

The caravan left the north gate of Taiyuan City and ran down all the way north.

Not long after the caravan came out, there were scattered snowflakes in the sky.

The whizzing north wind also blew up afterwards, and the snowflakes hit the face, and when it was blown by the northwest wind, it really hurt the face!

Fortunately, everyone was prepared, and many people took out the fur coats and put them on.

Everyone braved the wind and snow all the way northward, not to mention the hard work.

Suddenly, someone in the caravan sang loudly: "I'm going out at the end of the year! Braving the snowflakes and the wind! I went to a foreign country after a lot of hardships, just because my family lacks the food for the spring!"

Duan Wuji smiled at the two of them.

"Second brothers, you see how many people we have in Shanxi! You sang all the truth.

The three of us are slightly stronger than them!

However, if we have money to spend, we don't want to suffer this crime!

The three of us take this business trip, and we can solve the food problem of these more than 200 children!
It seems that we can't do it if we don't do that good thing! "

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Brother, you really know how to put gold on your face!

We do business to make money, why, have we become the bodhisattvas who save the suffering? "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "I dare not say whether a Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva or not!

However, if we all return safely, it will be of great benefit to all of us present! "

The snow fell more and more, and the time was not too long, and the earth was already white.

The caravan had no choice, and continued to walk northward with difficulty against the wind and snow. It was not until dusk that Duan Wuji and the others found a very huge inn to stay.

Everyone was freezing, and the horses were unloaded and led into the stables.

The owner of the inn knew that it was time to make a fortune for himself when he saw so many motorcades coming in at once.

The owner of the inn and a few guys are very busy. They put grass and feed in the manger, and fetch water for the horses at the same time!After waiting for half an hour, the owner of the inn led a few young men to finish their work.

The innkeeper came over, looked at Duan Wuji and the three of them and asked: "Three bosses, what do you plan to eat?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Boss, look at our more than 200 people, you can get it for us casually, it doesn't matter if it's a bit lame!"

"I said guest officer, don't look at how many of you there are! However, we can do anything in this small shop! You can do whatever you want! We can't suffer!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Then you can give us a big pie!
Everyone has a big bowl of meat, if there is wine, you can bring us another two hundred catties of wine, it is really cold today, let them all drink some wine!
As for the soup?Just boil a big pot of egg soup for us! "

"Okay! Guest officer, you just wait! It won't take long for us to be done."

With that said, the boss cheerfully led the buddy out.

Sure enough, it didn't take too long, and the boss came back with three guys and three small carts.

"Dinner is ready! Let's eat!"

The innkeeper shouted loudly.

People rushed out of the room, the clerk in the inn brought out a few big piles of bowls and a big chopsticks, people took the bowls and chopsticks, filled the stew and picked up the flatbread and started eating!
To be honest, people were already hungry, not to mention the delicious food that everyone ate.

Duan Wuji saw him and shouted loudly: "Everyone has worked hard today, I bought two hundred catties of wine today, anyone who wants to drink can drink some.

Anyway, we are not too far away from home, and our place is fairly peaceful! "

As soon as they heard that there was wine, who among these people would rush to drink it!

After people satiated with wine and food, the soup was served again. It was a whole three large wooden pots of soup!

After people had eaten and drank enough, the car owners all went back to their houses to rest.

Tieniu divided these guards into six groups, with more than 20 people in each group.

Tieniu told them that each group was on duty for an hour, and when the time came, they would switch to the next shift!During the shift, no one is allowed to take a nap!

If anyone is found to have dozed off while on duty, half of the wages will be deducted immediately!

After everything was arranged, Duan Wuji and the three of them also went back to the house to rest.

It was peaceful at night, and the inn sent six guys on duty overnight!
To be honest, if the guests really lost something in their inn, the inn is also responsible for it!

The owner of the inn also knows how many big business masters are easy to mess with!

What's more, all of these people are carrying guys. Looking at this posture, you know that these people are the ones you can't afford to mess with!

A few guys added fodder for the horses at night, and fetched water to drink for the horses. Duan Wuji and the three of them got up just after dawn.

Seeing them getting up, the owner of the inn quickly smiled and asked, "Guest, what do you want to eat this morning?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Let's do it like the adopted son did last night, but we don't want to drink this morning, and we will be on the road after a while."

"Okay! I got it!"

With that said, the boss led a few guys and went out again.

It was not long, and a few guys came over again pushing two small carts, and people started to harness animals after breakfast.

Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the inn and said: "Boss, settle the accounts for us! After the accounts are settled, we are on our way."

"Yeah! It's 67 taels of silver in total. Take a look at the bill!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I see what's the use of that! If I give you 67 taels of silver, it's over!
Is it worth watching it for such a small amount of money? "

Duan Wuji opened the bag, took out the silver to pay the bill, and then walked out of the inn, led the people out of the inn by leading the horse.
