Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Not to mention that the people he interacts with on weekdays are all the richest families in Tai'an County. When the children are studying, they take the initiative to recruit disciples, and when the boys are soldiers, the generals serve as their backers.

Now, even the prince has become a junior member of the Tai family!

If one day he saw the emperor sitting in the Tai family yard sucking noodles, he probably wouldn't be surprised!

The sixth prince Xu Shi also knew that his status was somewhat special, so he first bowed his hand to Chen Zhao, "Speaking of which, Ruiyang called my aunt his foster mother, and I have been with him for a lifetime. If shopkeeper Chen doesn't mind, I will also follow my cousin. Do we call you Uncle Chen?"

How dare Chen Zhao? He waved his hands frantically and kept bowing in return, saying, "Your Highness, it can't be done, it can't be done! I'm just an ordinary businessman, I don't deserve to be treated like this by Your Highness!"

It was Tai Jiye who helped smooth things over, and it was finally decided that Chen Zhao would address the sixth prince as His Highness. If there were outsiders around and it was inconvenient to address him this way, he would just call him Kang Cheng.

The sixth prince addressed Chen Zhao as Shopkeeper Chen, which did not confuse the hierarchy.

As soon as everyone sat down, He Xiong personally ordered his guards to cook a new plate of dumplings for the sixth prince.

The sixth prince was not polite and ate most of the plate in one go. He smiled and praised, "This is the second aunt's craftsmanship. Speaking of which, I haven't been home for a long time. I wonder if grandpa is in good health? How is life at home?"

Tai Jiye responded with a smile, "The family is doing well. My father is in better health than anyone else. At least when he hits me, his pipe and pot can fly up. He took Brother He and the others into the mountains for hunting, and he even brought There’s a brown bear and a Siberian leopard!”

He Xiong was surprised and asked, "Uncle Tai has been out of the army for many years, but he has never forgotten the skills on this sword! However, brown bears and Siberian leopards are not easy to deal with. Uncle Tai should also worry about his own safety!"

Tai Jiye waved his hand and quickly explained, "It doesn't count the brown bear and leopard my father killed. It was actually a fight between these two guys, and my father led someone to pick it up."

Speaking of this, it is natural to explain the whereabouts of the two good pieces of leather. After all, the Tai family did not give them to the general, nor did they keep them for the sixth prince.

But when it comes to the whereabouts of the leather, the premise is that the two boys were kidnapped. Tai Jiye thought about it and explained a few words.

The sixth prince frowned at that time and asked, "Who is so bold as to kidnap someone from our family? Have you found the mastermind behind it?"

Tai Jiye wanted to say something, but his father kept it secret, so he didn't dare to ask.

At this moment, he could only come up with the unified rhetoric of the Tai family to the outside world, "I guess life at home was easy, which made others jealous, so I thought of kidnapping my family and extorting some money.

“However, fortunately, Yonglu and Yongyue were smart, Sesame Ball had a good nose, and they even met Brother Chen coming back from the south with his convoy, and they were able to successfully rescue the two boys.

"You also know that my father is a generous and righteous man. He naturally wants to thank the Wu family and the Min family for their help, so I gave away the two pieces of leather. The next time my family gets something good, I will definitely give it to them. The general and His Highness will keep it."

He Xiong immediately declined, "We are all members of our family, don't be so polite. As long as our family members are safe and sound, the rest is not important."

The Sixth Prince also responded, "General He is right, nothing is more important than the safety of the family."

After a pause, he brought up what he had said before and asked, "I just heard outside that Shopkeeper Chen is going to the Prairie Royal Court to help the third prince win the throne of King Khan?"

Chen Zhao felt a little uneasy, but he still responded, "Yes, Your Highness heard it right. The third prince and I met by chance and had a life-long friendship. I want to help him during this grassland crisis."

The sixth prince frowned, looked at Tai Jiye and the boys and said, "Shopkeeper Chen values ​​​​love and righteousness, and I can't stop him. But this trip must be full of dangers. Shouldn't the third uncle and his cousins ​​follow him? What if there is something at home? If you need anything, just tell me and I will have it delivered directly to your home." Tai Jiye didn't know about the situation in the grassland before setting off. Now that he heard the inside story, he was a little confused.

As a man, he was determined to go with Chen Zhao even if it was dangerous. But there are still a few boys with him, plus more than 20 tribesmen, if they are all trapped in the grassland and unable to come out...

Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and Chen Ruiyang all saw the clues. They were afraid of being left behind, so they kept making promises.

"Third uncle, cousin! Don't leave us behind, we have to go to the grassland too."

"Yes, yes! We have all come out and we will never go back!"

"We will be obedient and will not be a drag! Grandpa also asked us to come out just to practice our courage. We are not afraid of danger!"

Tai Jiye was embarrassed and said nothing for a while.

Chen Zhao felt guilty and said, "Jiye, why don't you take your children and clan back home. I'll take the convoy into the grassland and leave your goods to me."

Tai Jiye immediately objected, "No, Brother Chen, I can't see you taking risks alone."

When the two sides were at a stalemate, the Sixth Prince spoke again, "In that case, why don't I send more guards to you, so that if something happens, they can also protect our family's safety. Of course, they will disguise themselves as convoy guards or coachmen. Be responsible for your integrity and no one else will interfere.

In addition, shopkeeper Chen wants to help the third prince win the throne of Khan. I also have a plan. Do you want to hear it? "

"Okay, Your Highness, please speak." Chen Zhao responded quickly, looking very humble.

The sixth prince poured him wine with his own hands and said, "The third prince is a little less powerful than the other princes. If the Khan suddenly dies of illness and the princes fight with each other, the third prince has a very slim chance of winning. Since the Living Buddha supports the third prince, he is also willing to persuade the Khan The king passed on the throne. Now it would be beneficial to the third prince to let King Khan live, even if he persists for another year and a half.

"I have a good doctor by my side. He can bring some more medicinal materials and follow you on a trip to the grassland to try to cure King Khan. Even if he cannot extend his life for a year and a half, he can still tell the third prince a deadline so that he knows what to expect. And You can also respond in time, get out early, and return safely."

"Are you serious?" Chen Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and saluted to express his thanks, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. We have a little more protection during this trip."

The Sixth Prince refused to take credit, and returned the favor with his hands raised, "There is no need for this, Shopkeeper Chen. The premise of all these is your friendship with the Third Prince, so that you can gain his trust. Otherwise, I will be a miracle doctor with the flesh and bones of the living dead. I am afraid I will also give him away." Not in front of King Khan."

Tai Jiye watched from the side, his heart clear.

Chen Zhao agreed to this plan because of his trust in the Tai family. Without the relationship with the Tai family, he would not have accepted the guards and doctors so easily. After all, any selfishness among these people would ruin his relationship with the third prince. It may even cost everyone their lives!

He Xiong thought more. The guards and doctors of the sixth prince were sent to the grassland. When they came back, they would definitely bring back first-hand news about the royal court.

Although there is no war between the grassland and the Wei Dynasty, there is never any harm in knowing yourself and the enemy... (End of this chapter)
