My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 16: Farewell Gift
After checking the account book, Lu Yi closed it and handed it back to Zhang Jia who was standing beside him.

"I originally agreed with Mr. Zhang to invest one million yuan, but now according to the account books, it seems that Mr. Zhang has invested no less than two million yuan!"

"I, Zhang, didn't expect it to cost so much, but it's worth two million dollars to build a caravan from scratch, especially since many of the materials in the caravan are the accumulation of my clan over many years. If it weren't for such a short period of time, the price would be much higher if we bought them from other places."

Zhang Jia, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. Not only was he a core member of the Zhang family, he also had obtained the account books earlier than Lu Yi.

As the sun reached high noon, Lu Yi's men woke up one after another.

After lunch, they were gathered together to take a shower and change into new clothes.

Traveling across the border for business is not like traveling, and this bath may be the only one for them in the next month.

If you don't clean it thoroughly, you will get skin diseases in the windy and rainy grassland.

After more than 60 people had changed into new clothes, the team's appearance changed drastically.

All of them wore dark cloth, red hats on their heads, military knife tips hung around their waists, and bows and arrows slung across their backs.

Almost in an instant, sixty sloppy knights were transformed into elite militia.

Even compared with the regular army of the Han Dynasty, they only lacked a set of armor.

"Not bad!" Lu Yi looked at everyone who was beaming with joy after changing into new clothes, and nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others beside him also looked excited.

"My dear nephew, you are indeed worthy of being the number one hero in Bingzhou. You can tell at a glance that the men under your command are no ordinary people. With such an army, I believe that merchants traveling outside the Great Wall will be much safer." At this time, Zhang Shang also woke up and sighed repeatedly when he saw this scene.

If anything happened to Lu Yi and his crew while they were doing business outside the Great Wall, they would only lose their lives, but I, Zhang, would lose millions of wealth!

"Oh, I really want to go on a trip to the frontier with Brother Lu Yi!" Zhang Xun was full of envy. If his father had not refused to let him join the team, he would have followed Lu Yi to the frontier to experience the grassland scenery.

The little boy Zhang Liao who was following behind Zhang Shang and Zhang Xun was a little dazed when he saw these teams that were obviously stronger than Zhang's servants. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"Hey? Isn't this the young man who laughed at me on the high wall of the fortress ten days ago? What are you daydreaming about?"

When Lu Yi saw the little boy Zhang Liao coming, he stepped forward, pinched his little face, and asked curiously.

"I was reckless ten days ago. Please forgive me, Brother Lu Yi." Zhang Liao came to his senses after hearing the words. He bowed deeply to Lu Yi like a little adult, and then continued to answer Lu Yi's questions.

"Although Zhang Liao is young, he admires the former Han generals Huo Qubing and Ban Chao the most. He is determined to emulate the two heroes in this life, drinking from the Hanhai Lake and carving stones at Yanran. Therefore, when he saw that Brother Lv Yi's troops were very elite, he thought that this expedition would definitely allow the Hu people to see the elegance of our Han people. He was envious and therefore lost his mind."

Zhang Liao's serious answer stunned everyone present. Even his father Zhang Shang and elder brother Zhang Xun looked at Zhang Liao in surprise. It was obviously the first time that he revealed his ambition in front of other people.

"Your ambition is very ambitious and good!" Lu Yi patted his little shoulder and said with a double meaning: "I believe you will realize this ambition in the future!"

"Brother Lu Yi, are you serious?" Zhang Liao was still a little boy after all. Hearing Lu Yi's affirmation, he couldn't help but look at him with excitement and longing.

"Of course it's true!" Lu Yi squatted down and looked at the little boy and answered solemnly. As one of the only two generals of Cao Wei who were worthy of being enshrined in the Martial Temple among the three kingdoms, Zhang Liao did not disappoint himself in history and accomplished his ambition at that time.

After changing clothes, Lu Yi integrated the entire caravan on the spot.

Previously in Wuyuan he had only integrated his men, but now he had to reorganize the 10 accountants and 30 coachmen in the caravan as well.

The 10 accountants were under the command of Consul Zhang Jia and were non-combat personnel.

Each of the 30 rickshaw drivers was given a long spear with a wooden handle and an iron head. If a battle crisis occurred, they would be ready to step forward at any time. Lu Yi arranged for Cheng Lian to be in charge.

Cheng Lian is loyal, bold and honest, so it is very suitable for him to be in charge of the caravan loaded with wealth and goods.

After the reorganization was completed, Lu Yi led Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others to train the entire caravan throughout the afternoon until dark.

We don't ask them to become a powerful army within a day, but we do ask them to clarify the most basic commands and formations.

You can do basic command, and at least know to advance when you hear the drum and retreat when you hear the gong, and you can't lose your composure.

Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others were all famous generals in history. Although they were still young, they were able to train this group of knights in an efficient manner and soon gave the team considerable execution capabilities.

After resting for a night, Lu Yi led the Lu caravan out of Zhang's Fort early the next morning.

Zhang Shang, Zhang Xun and almost the entire Zhang family sent the caravan off with great affection.

The caravan was loaded with not only goods accumulated by the Zhang family for generations, but also some of the Zhang family’s relatives.

"My dear nephew, the journey to the frontier is long, so you must be careful!" Zhang Shang repeatedly reminded.

"Brother Lu Yi, if there is any accident on the road, please send someone to report to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun will bring the Zhang family members to help the caravan!" Zhang Xun had a face full of righteousness.

"Brother Lu Yi, take care on the road! When Zhang Liao grows up, he will definitely follow you to do business!" Zhang Liao stood behind Zhang Shang and waved his little hand to say goodbye.

"Don't worry, everyone. In 20 days at the shortest and a month at the longest, Lu Yi will return with the caravan fully loaded." Lu Yi bowed to everyone with a hint of reluctance on his face.

Although Zhang and he only have a relationship of interest, she is after all one of the first people he met after coming to this world, and no one is heartless.

However, just as Lu Yi was about to set off with the caravan, a flower-like girl suddenly passed the crowd and ran to Lu Yi. Although her face was flushed, she still mustered up the courage to hand Lu Yi the protective sachet she had made overnight in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

"It's hard to predict the fortunes and disasters you may encounter on this journey. Brother Lu Yi, you can carry this protective sachet with you. It will bring you good luck."

"It's you!" Lu Yi was a little surprised when he realized that the person was Zhang Shang's second daughter, Zhang Wan'er.

Yesterday, when Zhang Shang was entertaining Lu Yi, Zhang Wan'er appeared again to pour wine for Zhang Shang and Lu Yi. She was immediately discovered by Hao Meng, who knew her. Hao Meng then apologized to Zhang Wan'er on the spot, and Lu Yi then understood her identity.

Isn't giving a protective sachet to a girl when she is bidding farewell to her lover?
He didn't expect that this would happen to him, and the target was Zhang Shang's daughter Zhang Wan'er.
