My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 91 Return of the property to its original owner
After finishing their last lunch after going out to the border, Lu Yi led Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and Zhang Xun, who had just joined the caravan to replace Zhang Jia as the shopkeeper, on their second business trip.

The alliance of four families has been formed, and Zhang Shang finally agreed to the request of Zhang Xun who wanted to go out of the border to gain some experience. It happened that Zhang Jia was also in Jiuyuan busy with the construction of Luwu, so he let him join the caravan.

Although the caravan with 100 carts was far inferior to the grain transport team randomly sent out by the Zhen family of Zhongshan.

But in this border area of ​​Bingzhou, it is already a very large caravan.

As the caravan passed by, local nobles would often send people over with gifts to make friends, inquire about the goods being sold, and seek the possibility of trade cooperation.

However, after tasting the huge profits from the horse trading business outside the Great Wall, Lu Yi and Zhang Xun no longer cared much about these ordinary businesses. They always politely accepted their gifts and returned the gifts, but politely declined all requests for cooperation.

A few days later, the Mayi Great Wall came into sight.

However, unlike the last time when Lu Yi had to make up excuses to bribe Huang Yi, this time Huang Yi, who had received the news early, personally led people to guard the caravan.

After all, although he has no shares in the caravan, the monthly dividends are not a small amount.

It was enough to make him run into trouble in maintaining his troops and paying bribes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Yi and the Great Wall Guards were both employed by Lu Yi and the caravan.

As long as Lu Yi withdraws his investment, Huang Yi and his soldiers will return to their previous miserable state of being ignored by their parents.

"Haha, brother, I've been looking forward to it for a long time and finally you've come!" Huang Yi shouted from a distance, and the fighter's rough voice made Lu Yi's ears buzz.

"Haha, I'm afraid Brother Huang is not looking forward to me, Lu, but the arrival of the caravan behind me!" Lu Yi and Huang Yi are already very familiar with each other, and it would seem awkward to say that they are wearing the same pair of pants, so they start teasing directly.

"We're all looking forward to it! We're all looking forward to it!" Huang Yi did not refute. He came behind Lu Yi and began to ride his horse around the caravan three times. Seeing that the scale of the caravan was indeed larger than before, he put his heart at ease after three months of worry.

"Brother Lu is really a talented person. He has organized such a large caravan in just three months. I am far inferior to you!"

"Oh, right! I almost forgot about this. Wait a moment, brother!" Huang Yi said as he suddenly remembered something. He gave an order to the people behind him, and immediately several soldiers came over carrying a heavy box.

"What do you mean, brother?" Lu Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this.

"Brother, you will know once you open it..." Huang Yi, the rough guy, kept the secret by making faces.

"Oh..." Lu Yi looked at him in confusion and nodded to Gao Shun behind him. Gao Shun immediately stepped forward and opened the box.

The box was full of copper coins, roughly counting hundreds of thousands, and on top of the coins was the golden Buddha that Lu Yi had used to bribe Huang Yi last time.

"Brother Huang, this is..." Lu Yi said with a sidelong glance.

"Hey, I've received the wedding invitation from Brother Lu, but I was unable to attend due to my heavy duty of guarding the border. I'm really sorry. Just consider this gift as a belated congratulations from you!" Huang Yi laughed, not a trace of apology on his face, but a sense of pride. "Brother, this is a clean government. Although this amount of money is not much, it is saved by everyone. Brother, you won't refuse it, right?" Huang Yi saw the hesitation on Lu Yi's face and immediately provoked him.

"Haha, I accept your kindness, but you soldiers have worked hard for the country for many years and deserve a reward. I'll trouble you to give the money to you soldiers."

Lu Yi looked at the pale-faced soldiers standing on both sides of the cash box, then smiled and clasped his fists to decline.

"This..." Huang Yi frowned when he heard this. It was definitely not good news for him that Lu Yi did not accept his gift.

"However, in order to seek safety when traveling abroad, this golden Buddha was given by Brother Huang. I believe it must be effective. I will accept it with pleasure!" Seeing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He is now just the manager of a caravan, and his every word and action carries some additional information in the eyes of others. Others may worry that countless people will sleep uneasy with just a frown from other high-ranking officials. This feudal society is really terrible.

"Haha, as the saying goes, Buddhas all have predestined relationships with their owners. It's destined that you and this Buddha should be yours!" Huang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately dismounted and took the golden Buddha and handed it to Lu Yi with great care.

And Lu Yi also dismounted and took it personally.

Relationships are like this, it is never a one-off deal, but requires long-term and continuous adjustments to gradually get better.

However, when Lu Yi looked at the golden Buddha that he had lost and found again, he still felt the wonder of fate and couldn't help but feel funny.

After Lu Yi accepted the gifts in public, the relationship between the caravan and the Great Wall Guards became relaxed and warmer.

Zhang Xun looked at Huang Yi, the military commander who used to be high and mighty for Zhang, riding a horse and accompanying Lu Yi, talking and laughing all the time. He felt a little envious, but also felt fortunate that Zhang could be on the list of such an excellent relative.

When Lu Yi and his party arrived at the caravan, dozens of caravans had already gathered in front of the pass. These caravans were of different sizes, and the baggage carts in the caravans were filled with heavy goods and food, but there were not many horses and furs.

However, unlike the relaxed Lu Yi and the smug Zhang Xun, all the caravan members, from the team leader to the ordinary drivers and guys, had sad faces, and no one knew what made them so sad.

"Brother Huang, who are these people?" Seeing this, Lu Yi had a guess in his mind and immediately asked Huang Yi beside him.

"Hehe, they are all merchants who want to go out to trade. However, after the four of us formed an alliance, I blocked them all inside the pass on the pretext of guarding against spies from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan. No matter how much they persuaded and lured them, they refused to give in."

"Damn it, these merchants are really willing to spend money. In addition to real money, they also sent some delicate young ladies. I'm afraid that if you ask them to send their wives over, they will be willing to do so."

"I can still hold back, but these young and energetic soldiers under my command are very jealous. However, since my elder brother and younger brother have made an agreement, I will never do anything to go back on my word." Huang Yi said, looking at Lu Yi meaningfully.

Lu Yi immediately heard the implication of a request from his slightly complaining words, so he immediately understood what he meant, and with a serious expression, he began to give orders to Zhang Xun in front of Huang Yi.

"Manager Zhang, General Huang and his soldiers work hard day and night to guard the border for the country. As patriotic businessmen, how can we not contribute our own humble efforts to the soldiers?"
