The soldiers of Tiangu Castle, who were secretly watching around, felt unimaginable when they saw the scene in front of them.

Few people don't know that Gan Yujiao is in the Northwest Army, and many people know that Gan Yujiao has been with Marquis Gan since she was a teenager, and the relationship between brother and sister is extremely deep.

And many people know that Gan Yujiao's kung fu was actually taught by Marquis Gan.

Marquis Gan's martial arts might not rank first among the tens of thousands of generals in the Northwest, but he is invincible on the battlefield, and his sword skills are not pretentious. Trained in one bloody fight after another, this kind of saber technique is both practical and terrifying.

Gan Yujiao has always been with his elder brother in the army. Marquis Gan naturally taught his younger sister all the experience in sword techniques that he had honed over the years to Gan Yujiao, and Gan Yujiao did have an excellent talent in sword techniques , She has a very high level of comprehension, and in the army, she never lacks opponents for training.

When an ordinary girl was still learning female red at home with embroidery needles, Gan Yujiao was fighting with soldiers on the sand in the military camp with knives and guns. Because of this, she developed a temperament like a man.

For so many years, Gan Yujiao has followed her elder brother across the battlefield, and there are not a few enemies who died by her sword.

Although in ordinary martial arts competitions, for Marquis Gan's sake, some people deliberately gave way to Gan Yujiao, but no one can deny that Gan Yujiao is definitely a good swordsman.

Seeing Chu Huan and Gan Yujiao fighting swords this time, many soldiers who did not know Chu Huan were surprised. Chu Huan looked like a young man in a fine robe and jade belt. Many people thought that he would suffer a lot from Gan Yujiao's sword. .

But this result left many people dumbfounded.

It was obvious that Gan Yujiao had the upper hand and attacked sharply. Chu Huan seemed to be able to parry and dodge in embarrassment. The moment he fell, the soldiers in Tiangu Castle almost thought the victory was over.

But no one expected that this turned out to be a 180-degree turn. From when Chu Huan fell to the ground to turning over to subdue Gan Yujiao and snatch the scimitar from Gan Yujiao's hand, everything happened in an instant. Many people didn't see what happened. What.

Gan Yujiao was also surprised at this time, and she obviously couldn't figure out why she was so bizarrely defeated by Chu Huan.

If it is a head-to-head duel, the skills are inferior to others, and Chu Huan wins, Gan Yujiao naturally has nothing to say, but her offensive obviously has the upper hand, and it is only a momentary change. Not only did she fall, but even the knife was taken away by Chu Huan. This made Gan Yujiao unable to accept it for a while, she stood up from the ground, and said angrily: "You...you are cheating!"

"Cheating?" Chu Huan asked in surprise, "Why did the girl say that?"

"You...!" Gan Yujiao blushed a little, but she wanted to talk about cheating, but she didn't know how to say it. The training in the army is to fight on the battlefield. Defeating the opponent is the ultimate goal of military training. Gan Yujiao came from the military, and this concept is naturally very deep. Although she feels that she has lost wrongly, Chu Huan seems to be playing tricks, but if she really wants to speak the truth, she can't help it for a while. I don't know how to say it.

Chu Huan returned the knife and held the edge of the knife, handed the handle to Gan Yujiao, and said with a smile: "Miss Yujiao, I have won by luck, we just agreed, of course you will not go back on your word!"

Gan Yujiao took the knife, hating and annoyed, "We... let's compare...!"

"No!" Before she finished speaking, Chu Huan had already shook his head and said, "I have already won, and in another match, I may not be the girl's opponent. I won by luck. It seems that God asked me to resolve the problem of the girl and Shui Lan. Misunderstand……!"

"No, you...!"

At this moment, Marquis Gan finally came forward, coughed twice, and said, "Yujiao, I would like to admit defeat, and Master Chu has indeed won against you, of course we cannot break our promise."

"Master Chu?" Gan Yujiao was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "What Master Chu?"

Chang Huan knew that it was not easy to reveal Chu Huan's identity before, but now that Chu Huan won, it didn't matter. He explained from the side: "Miss Yujiao, this is Master Chu, Governor of Xiguan Road!"

"Chu Huan...!" Gan Yujiao opened her eyes wide, and lost her voice, "You... are you Chu Huan?"

Chu Huan cupped his hands and laughed, "It's exactly Chu Huan!"

Gan Yujiao stared blankly at Chu Huan, and soon, she furrowed her brows and said angrily, "You...you liar...!"

"Why did the girl say this?"

"You...you lied to me that you are a businessman...!" Gan Yujiao was furious, "Why did you lie to me?"

Chu Huan sighed: "Miss misunderstood, I came here this time as a businessman, and I want to discuss some business with General Gan...!"

"Bastard...!" Gan Yujiao's eyes were about to burst into flames, "You big liar, you...!"

"Presumptuous!" Marquis Gan yelled in a deep voice, "Yujiao, how could you be so rude to Master Chu...you still haven't apologized to Master Chu!"

"You are also a liar!" Gan Yujiao said bitterly: "You all joined forces to lie to me... Chu Huan, you are a villain!"

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, and said, "Miss made a big disturbance in Tiangu Castle before, and then sneaked back, isn't she lying? You deceived everyone, so what?"

"I...!" Gan Yujiao was speechless for a while, looking at Chu Huan bitterly, then at Ganhou, and finally shifted her gaze to Shui Lan, gritted her teeth, and finally stomped her feet, "Chu Huan, you...you remember me!" Come on, I...!" Stamped her feet again, turned around and left without looking back, "Ganhou, I don't care about your affairs anymore, I'll see how you explain to your sister-in-law!"

She was angry and annoyed, Xiaoman twisted her waist, and ran a long distance in a short while.

Marquis Gan ordered: "Chang Huan, take someone to follow, and protect her secretly in the middle of the night."

Chang Huan clapped his hands and said yes, and led a few people to chase after him.

"Master Chu, I don't know what to say about today's matter." Marquis Gan cupped his hands to Chu Huan and said, "The most difficult business and personal matters for me, you will solve them all when you come here. The great savior of the entire Northwest Army."

Chu Huan also clasped his hands and said with a smile: "General Gan is serious." Then he said: "General Gan, it's getting late, you go to comfort Miss Shui Lan first, and roughly explained to the general what you need to say."

Ganhou said: "Your Majesty Chu has been tired all the way, so he should take a rest earlier." He immediately sent someone to lead Chu Huan to rest.

When Chu Huan returned to his room, Qi Hong had already come over. Seeing that Chu Huan was safe and sound, he was relieved. He was Chu Huan's personal guard, so there were some things that Chu Huan did not hide from him. He also knew that Chu Huan was here. In addition to sending salt, it is also to persuade Marquis Gan to send troops out of the customs to protect the trade field.

"Ganhou knows the key to this matter." Chu Huan chuckled and said, "I have promised him that I will provide the Northwest Army with enough salt for them to eat. It will be handed over to the Northwest Army."

"Tariffs for three years?" Qi Hong was a little surprised: "My lord, if the trade develops, it will not be a small sum."

"There is no benefit, how can the Northwest Army feel at ease?" Chu Huan said softly: "Salt and tariffs are the two biggest benefits that Xiguan provides to Marquis Gan. If the Northwest Army wants to obtain these two benefits, it must first guarantee the West Pass itself Safe and sound. If there is a change in Xiguan, it is naturally impossible to provide salt. The most important thing is that merchants will never be in the mood to go out for trade. Whether it is salt or tariffs, the Northwest Army wants to get it. It must be in Xiguan Tao itself is safe and sound."

Qi Hong understood and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are saying that sending these two gifts up is actually binding the Northwest Army and Xiguan Road together?"

"That's not impossible." Chu Huan smiled and said, "At least Marquis Gan is very aware of the pros and cons. We have also seen the situation of the Northwest Army. Although there are tens of thousands of troops, they are in a difficult situation. They lack food and clothing. Under such circumstances, the 36th Wubao is still in order. The governor really admires General Gan. But I also thought that if the situation continues like this, no matter how capable Marquis Gan is, sooner or later the Northwest Army will There will also be changes, so providing support to them is to ensure the safety of our Xiguan itself."

"Your Excellency said so." Qi Hong nodded and said, "Once there is a mutiny in the tens of thousands of troops in the northwest, it will inevitably spread rapidly. At that time, it will be difficult for Marquis Gan to control them. , the first one to be affected is our Xiguan Road...!"

"That's right, so I sent salt and tariffs, just waiting to give Marquis Gan two sharp weapons." Chu Huan touched his chin and said: "With these two sharp weapons in hand, the Northwest Army will not rebel. Knowing this, he is even more aware that in order to keep these two sharp weapons, the stability of Xiguan must be maintained first, so...!" Slightly smiled, "The future tariffs may really be a lot of money, but they are used to ensure the stability of the Northwest. It is worthwhile to tie them to Xiguan without the stability of the army."

Qi Hong nodded slightly, looked around, and said in a low voice: "My lord, we suspected that Zhu Lingyue might have contacts with Marquis Gan before, if Zhu Lingyue offered a higher price, then...!"

"I have been prepared for this." Chu Huan nodded and said: "Zhu Lingyue is eyeing me. If he can win over the Northwest Army, he will attack me from front to back. Of course he will not let it go, even if the Northwest Army will not Help him, as long as the Northwest Army does not go with us, Zhu Lingyue is willing to pay the price." Then he smiled coldly, "It's a pity that Tianshan to Yanmen must pass through my Xiguan territory. I have ordered that additional checkpoints be set up along the way. Check carefully, as long as it is a convoy from Tianshan Mountain, it is not allowed to come to the north, at least in terms of supplies, Zhu Lingyue's way to win over Ganhou has been blocked by me...!"

Qi Hong laughed and said: "In this way, the Northwest Army can only get our support. If Zhu Lingyue wants to win over, it won't work. Marquis Gan is a smart man. Even if Zhu Lingyue sends someone to lobby, we will give you real benefits. Marquis Gan must be able to tell which is more important." Suddenly he thought of something, and frowned slightly: "My lord, what if... Zhu Lingyue provides silver taels? We can block the goods, can we block the banknotes?"

"The banknotes are in my hands. If you can't change them into goods, they are just a pile of waste paper." Chu Huan calmly said: "If Marquis Gan really accepts Zhu Lingyue's money, he will need to use the money to enter the customs to buy Goods, goods are transported from the pass to Yanmen, our Xiguan is the only way...!" He stared at Qi Hong, "The gate of life is in the hands of Xiguan, could it be that Marquis Gan is so shrewd that he can't think of this? Just think of this One point, he should know who is a real and reliable friend."
