Gan Yujiao stared blankly at Chu Huan, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

Chu Huan looked out of the window, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are in the border, a place of bitter cold, and the conditions are harsh. Since the founding of the country, the Northwest Army has always guarded this place. The people living and working in Yanmen Pass live and work in peace and prosperity. It is true that for many of them, it is just to make a living, but it is not easy for them to make a living, and maybe even they themselves do not know how important they are to the empire. Girl Yujiao, you At the border, I know that you have a fiery temper and don't care about trivial matters, but I also hope that from now on, you can restrain your personality a little bit, just like what I said just now, you must think of others in everything."

Listening to Chu Huan's words, Gan Yujiao unexpectedly did not refute, but nodded in a strange way.

Chu Huan smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I know very well that you came here tonight because you were angry and wanted to teach me a lesson, but you didn't know yourself or the enemy, and you acted without authorization. This is not what a smart person would do. matter."

Gan Yujiao's cheeks were a little hot, she lowered her head and said softly, "I... I didn't intend to kill you."

"I know." Chu Huan said: "If you want to kill me, let me put it bluntly, with your ability, you can only die first. I know this matter has nothing to do with other people, but you have to remember, The world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. Of course I will not pursue this matter any further, but if it were someone else, if someone sincerely wanted to embarrass General Gan, what you did tonight will give the other party a big excuse. Be careful, it will lead to disaster."

"I know." Gan Yujiao nodded her head slightly, "You...don't you care about this anymore?"

"You go first." Chu Huan lay down again, "Don't be arrogant in the future, I have taught you that there are many things that cannot be solved with swords and guns."

Gan Yujiao hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Chu...Master Chu, they all said that when you were in the Sun Palace in Xiliang, you brought a knife into their palace, and the kings and officials of Xiliang didn't dare to say a word. Is this really true? Fake?"

"You want to hear this story?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "There are such things, but it's not that the rulers and ministers of Xiliang are afraid to say more, it's just that they don't want to make extra trouble."

Gan Yujiao leaned closer to Chu Huan, and asked again: "They also said that there is a regent in Xiliang who wanted to make you the king of the North Court of Xiliang, but you refused?"

"You really know a lot." Chu Huan said in surprise, "What else do you know?"

Gan Yujiao actually showed a smile that Chu Huan had never seen before, and said slightly, "I also know that when you were in Anyi, you found out the demon from the Tianmen Dao, and even killed the Tianmen Dao... By the way , what is your name, General?"

"General Wood!"

"Yes, it's General Mu." Gan Yujiao was actually interested, "They said that General Mu hid deeply, but he fell into your trick and was found out by you, and you killed General Mu. It is said that General Mu practiced a strange martial art, his whole body turned into wood, making him invulnerable, how did you kill him?"

Chu Huan said: "This is a bit exaggerated. In fact, I didn't kill him. He was burned to death."

"Burn to death?" Gan Yujiao was taken aback, "But everyone said you killed him!"

"Yanmen Border Pass is hundreds of miles away from Anyi. If these things are reported, they will always be different from the truth." Chu Huan smiled.

Gan Yujiao let out an "oh" and asked again: "Then you were the one who got rid of the plague in Xiguan? They said you knew how to make immortal medicines, and that's how you got rid of the plague in Xiguan!"

Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Then do you think I look like a fairy?"

Gan Yujiao shook her head and said, "It's not like that!"

"That's it." Chu Huan said: "What kind of magic is there, it's just to find the crux of the plague and develop an antidote, and the antidote was not developed by me, it was made by Master Xinglin...!" Raising his hand, he touched his forehead, thinking about how to talk and chat with this tigress. In the middle of the night, after all, he is a lonely man and a widow. It is not good for Chu Huan to let Gan Yujiao stay here longer, and said softly: " Miss Yujiao, it's getting late, go back and think about what happened today, and don't be confused again in the future."

Gan Yujiao looked out the window, got off the bed, took a few steps towards the window, stopped, turned around, and asked with some concern, "Chu...Master Chu, what happened tonight?"

"Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know and I know." Chu Huan said with a smile, "Take it as a secret between you and me. If the law is not passed on, what do you think?"

Gan Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "You mean what you say?"

"It depends on your performance in the future." Chu Huan said: "If you still want to seek revenge on me, if I get angry, I might slip up if I'm not careful."

"No." Gan Yujiao saw that Chu Huan was so magnanimous, and her disgust towards Chu Huan was greatly eliminated. At this moment, seeing Chu Huan was very pleasing to the eye, "Master Chu, do you know how to use a knife?"

"Why does the girl ask such a question?"

"I want to know who has better sword skills, you or my brother?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Ling's sword skills are honed from real swords and guns on the battlefield. They are both practical and terrifying. Those ostentatious sword skills are not comparable to General Gan."

Gan Yujiao bit her lip, remained silent for a moment, and asked again: "Lord Chu, do you think I'm an unreasonable person?"

"No!" Chu Huan said with a smile: "You keep your promise, of course you are a reasonable person. It's just that you are protected by others, so your personality is different."

"Different?" Gan Yujiao glared at Chu Huan, knowing that this was not a good word, thought for a while, and then said: "I misunderstood you, although you are somewhat different from the legendary Chu Huan, but... you are not a bad person! "Without further words, I turned out of the window.

Seeing Gan Yujiao leave, Chu Huan sighed, got up and walked to the window, saw Gan Yujiao's figure disappearing into the night quickly, and closed the window.

Chu Huan did not stop at Tiangu Castle the next day. He had already achieved the purpose of his trip. After delivering the salt to Marquis Gan, he set off for Yanmen Pass.

The distance to the trading field outside Yanmen Pass was not long, but after three days, Marquis Gan sent Chu Huan more than ten miles away. Chu Huan led the team all the way, except Yanmen Pass, to inspect the trading field.

The construction of the trading ground has already started, and most of it has been completed at this time. The entire trading ground has a radius of more than ten miles. In addition to the shopping mall for trade, there is also an inn here to rest.

The merchants and gentry on Xiguan Road welcomed the establishment of the trade field very much, and many of the funds for the construction of the trade field were donated voluntarily by the gentry and merchants.

The construction of the trading ground is not a small project. The Ministry of Industry dispatched a lot of manpower for this, and recruited nearly a thousand manpower. Whether it is the construction of the building itself or the wages for food and drink, it is not a small expense. Xiguan Road The money in the official treasury is really weak, and there are still many places to use the small amount of money, so Chu Huan thought at that time to use the power of Xiguan merchants to build a trading field.

For this reason, Chu Huan also specially issued an order that for merchants and gentlemen who support the construction of the trading field, they will be given certain privileges when they start trading in the future, such as reducing their tariffs and so on.

Some of the merchants don't care about small tariff reductions, but report to Chu Huan, allowing them to operate some auxiliary shops in the trading field, such as inns and restaurants. In a place with a lot of traffic, it is bound to be very popular to run an inn and restaurant here. Those who can go to the trading field are rich and wealthy. Even if the price here is expensive, there are no worries about no customers.

Chu Huan readily agreed. Originally, the construction of the trading field was not just for the trading of goods, but also for some auxiliary shops.

It has to be said that the people from the Department of Industry are still very careful about this project. Before the start of construction of the trade field, the Department of Industry has already designed the engineering drawings of the trade field. The drawings are reviewed by Chu Huan himself, and only after approval Construction, and after Chu Huan came to the trade field outside the customs, he saw that the layout of the trade field was almost the same as the blueprint he had reviewed.

The layout of inns, restaurants, shops, warehouses, etc. is very reasonable and orderly.

After inspecting the project of the trade field, Chu Huan was relieved, and did not stay in the trade field too long. After a day's rest, he set off for Shuoquan the next day.

When he passed Tiangu Castle again, Ganhou and Gan Yujiao had already left, rested in Tiangu Castle for another night, and continued to return the next day. The situation took more than half a month, and the speed of going back this time was much faster. It took less than four days to cross the territory of Yuezhou.

On the day of crossing into Yuezhou, we finally ushered in the first winter snow of this year. The snow season in the northwest is earlier than that in Guanzhong, and the snow falls like goose feathers, flying all over the sky.

During the day, the scouts in front suddenly flew over and reported: "My lord, there is a group of people blocking the road ahead. They say they want to complain to your lord!"

Chu Huan frowned, but Qi Hong had already ordered his followers to get ready. After walking for a while, they saw a group of people in front of them. , Most of the people blocking the avenue are rich and wealthy.

Qi Hong urged him to come forward immediately, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you? The governor is here, don't get out of the way!"

A group of people had already knelt down one after another, shouting "wronged" in unison, and some even shouted loudly that "the governor is the master".

Chu Huan was puzzled, and urged him to go immediately, but he did not dismount. He looked down at the group of people and asked, "This governor is Chu Huan. You stop here, crying for grievances. If you have any grievances, just say it!" Raised his hand Said: "Get up and talk first!"

Everyone got up one after another. Surrounded by the crowd, an old man who was over sixty years old came forward first. He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, we have a great grievance. I want my lord to report it."

Chu Huan stared at the old man, and asked, "It's freezing cold, you gathered here to complain about your grievances, you must have suffered a lot of grievances, what grievances are there, although speaking, if there are really grievances, the governor will make the decision for you!"

"Governor, we want to sue Wei Wuji, the head of the Department of Household Affairs!" The old man said sadly, "Wei Wuji is arrogant and overbearing, and wants to drive us to a dead end. I hope the Governor will make the decision for us!"
