He deliberately joked, and Tai Jiye and Chen Zhao also laughed seriously.

Life is like a play, you really don’t know when God will pick up the hammer, hit it hard, and finally send a savior, for fear that you will really be played to death...

That's all, that's all!
While the three of them were talking, the horse thieves outside were dealt with, leaving behind fifty or sixty horses, all of which were sturdy and good horses.

Boss Hu doesn't want it, because after all, he is a horse dealer and needs everything except horses to ride on.

Tai Jiye had no choice but to split it in two and gave half to Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao didn't refuse either. He owed the Tai family too much, no less than this.

He sincerely plans to treat the Tai family as his second home in the future!

After everyone settled down and agreed to take turns to watch the night, they took out dry food and boiled hot water to warm themselves.

Boss Hu asked his subordinates to deliver five or six large packages, two of which contained some rare and hard-to-find medicinal materials, and the rest were filled with furs of various colors.

"Brother Tai, help me bring these packages back. These medicinal materials are liked by wealthy people. I keep them as gifts for my family. I will use the fur to make winter clothes for everyone, especially Zhuzhu. Such a fair and lovely fat girl must have it." Make more fur coats."

Tai Jiye didn't refuse. He smiled and asked someone to put the things in the car and put them away properly.

Sure enough, Boss Hu was even happier when he stayed away.

The three of them talked about interesting things about the grassland, the situation in the north and south of the Wei Dynasty, and the hard work of doing business. It was really lively and intimate. It wasn't until the night got dark that they rolled up a thick felt blanket and fell asleep...

Early the next morning, the sky was just getting light, and the team was about to set off.

Boss Hu said goodbye to everyone and reluctantly rode away.

Tai Jiye and Chen Zhao were left behind, jumping on the carriage shaft and shouting for the convoy to hurry up.

Chen Zhao was envious and said to Tai Jiye, "Although we haven't met yet, I already admire our old man very much. The people he makes friends with are so generous and grateful. Even if we are far away in the grassland, we are deeply protected."

Tai Jiye was extremely proud and responded, "My old man has a forthright temperament and is quite prestigious in the North and South villages. He often says that when encountering others in danger, you should help others if you can. It is always right to do good deeds and you will have more friends. The road must be easy to walk!”

Chen Zhao extended his thumb and said, "The old man is wise and righteous!"

Everyone in the convoy was eager to return to the pass. They stayed overnight on the road. Unless they were very tired, they stopped to take a rest, boil a kettle of hot water, and let the horses eat grass. Otherwise, they never stopped for trivial matters.

In this way, after driving slowly for five or six days, we finally reached the edge of the grassland.

Tai Jiye was thinking about his nephew and was afraid that his nephew would be concerned about their safety, so the night before entering the border, he stopped more than ten miles outside the border camp, and then took a good horse and five sheep to visit his nephew. .

Tai Yonglu and Chen Ruiyang naturally wanted to follow. Firstly, they missed their elder brother, and secondly, they also wanted to see what the border guard camp looked like.

Tai Yong'an is just a small soldier. If his name is announced, it will definitely be difficult to pass on.

So Tai Jiye gave the gatekeeper a bag of dried meat and asked him to find He Xiong.

It happened that He Xiong was taking Tai Yong'an to inspect the camp, and he rushed over soon.

Tai Yongan jumped off the horse and hugged his uncle and two younger brothers. He was so happy.

"Third uncle, you are finally back! Why did you delay for a few more days this time? I was still thinking of following the vanguard army to the grassland to look for you in a few days!"

Tai Jiye slapped his nephew on the back and cursed with a smile, "The vast grassland is so big. It's normal for us to be delayed for a few days. Do you need to worry about it? You just stay in the military camp and just obey orders!" After that, he saluted He Xiong again, "Brother He, this boy Yong'an is disobedient, so you have to worry a lot!"

He Xiong laughed and responded, "You're right, this guy is a thorn in his side, but he's much harder to win over than others. But this guy is also really promising, and he has come out on top in several competitions. Even the general is full of praise for him!"

Tai Jiye asked someone to drive a few sheep to him, and then said, "Brother He, we came out of the grassland without bringing anything good, so we drove a few sheep to improve your food. When we come from Guanli again, we will give them to you." Brothers, bring more delicious food."

"Haha, that's not bad! It just so happens that the brothers have been suffering from hunger recently. Killing these few sheep is enough for the whole battalion to be full of meat!"

He Xiong didn't refuse and quickly accepted a few sheep.

Tai Jiye frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is it because the imperial court didn't provide military rations?"

He Xiong nodded and responded in a low voice, "They never gave me enough military rations. This time, they urged me three times in a row, but they didn't even deliver a grain of rice."

Tai Jiye was angry and cursed, "These heartless people expect the border guards to guard the border without providing them with rations. They are really not afraid of thunder!"

He Xiong was filled with hatred, but after all, this was a problem for the border guards, not the Tai family.

So, he changed his topic and asked about the news on the grassland.

On the other side, Tai Yongan was very happy when he heard that Chen Ruiyang had found his uncle.

He knew everything about Ruiyang's family from beginning to end. He didn't send Ruiyang to Shunde Mansion and made Ruiyang go through a lot of hardships to escape. He blamed himself no less than his uncle.

Now that Ruiyang has found his uncle, it's great to have someone to shoulder the family feud and investigate together.

Chen Ruiyang didn't want him to bother with it, so he took the good horse and presented the treasure to him.

"Brother, this is the horse we brought for you. Take a look! Although it can't keep up with Dahei, it's almost there!"

Sure enough, Tai Yong'an pulled the bridle of his horse and looked left and right, loving it very much.

"Where did you buy this? It's such a good horse!"

"Haha, you didn't buy this, we robbed it from the horse thief!" Tai Yonglu was frightened by the horse thief before. Now that the horse thief was dead, he showed off and talked about the previous danger happily.

Not to mention Tai Yongan, even He Xiong on the other side was surprised and asked, "That horse dealer Boss Hu is so powerful? You must introduce me to him next time you have a chance."

"Okay," Tai Jiye responded happily, "Brother Hu is a very righteous man, and his subordinates are also very powerful. He is not weak at all against horse thieves. If it hadn't been for his help this time, we might have been buried in the grassland."

Tai Yongan was speechless with regret, why wasn't he there at that time? Otherwise, it would have been so much fun to kill a few horse thieves!
After all, it is an important military camp area, so it is not easy to stay too long.

Tai Jiye and others said a few more words before leaving.

Tai Yongan was reluctant to part with him, but when he entered the military camp, he couldn't help himself.

Fortunately, Tai Yonglu and Chen Ruiyang shouted that they would come over next time to bring him the meat sauce and baked sesame cakes made by his second aunt, and he became happy.

After a short stay overnight, the convoy went straight to the border early the next morning. After careful inspection, they set foot on the land of Wei again!

In Taijia Village, because Yongning was selected as a scholar, the feet of the villagers, old and young, became weak and they could not walk for several days.

In the end, it was Mr. Tai who waved his pipe and pot and woke everyone up by scolding them. Work when you need to work, and eat when you need to eat!
But the little old man himself was more willing to walk in the fields. When he met fellow villagers from other villages who pulled him to praise Yongning, his white beard kept sticking up and never fell down at all!
Mr. Tai has already taken his grandchildren to the city for a banquet... (End of Chapter)
