Daohua didn't ask any more questions. As the carriage turned and drove out of the racecourse, she saw through the curtains that the secret guards brought by Xiao Yeyang were moving towards those Xiliao people.

......

Half an hour later, Defu and the secret guards gathered with Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang got off the carriage: "Has it been dealt with?"

Defu stepped forward and replied: "Master, don't worry, I didn't leave any traces."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ma Teng, who was looking a little pale: "Boss Ma..."

After witnessing Defu and his group killing Yelu Baichi and the others, Ma Teng looked a little stiff, but everything else was fine.

Obviously, a man like him who does business in a border town is already used to robbery and murder.

However, after seeing the extraordinary skills of Defu and others, Ma Teng began to guess Xiao Yeyang's identity: "What are your orders, Master Xiao?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Just pretend what happened today never happened."

Ma Teng nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I know about this."

Xiao Yeyang: "I'm short of horses here. If you encounter a horse dealer from Xiliao again, please let me know." After saying that, he looked at Defu.

Defu immediately took out two gold bars and handed them to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng did not refuse. Using money to do things was what any of them should do. He took the gold bar with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for the meal."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, turned around and prepared to get on the carriage.

At this moment, an old woman came over carrying a basket: "Master Ma?"

Ma Teng looked up and saw someone he knew. He immediately walked over and said, "Mother Feng, why are you here?"

The old woman held up the basket in her hand: "My son went to Yunlian Mountain last month and found a lot of cordyceps. Don't I just want to bring them over and let you help sell them?"

Ma Teng looked at the basket covered with grass and raised it in his hand: "Okay, I understand. You go back first and let your son come to me in two days."

The old woman nodded and was about to leave when Daohua suddenly opened the car curtain: "I heard you talking about Cordyceps, can you bring it over and show it to me?"

Ma Teng glanced at Xiao Yeyang and saw that he had no objection. He immediately ran over with a basket and did not dare to lean into the carriage. Instead, he handed the basket to Defu.

"This cordyceps is a herb that grows in alpine areas and snow-capped mountains. If you eat it often, it is very good for your health."

Defu handed the basket to the car window.

Daohua looked through it, and surprise flashed in her eyes: "It's really Cordyceps sinensis." As he said that, he looked at the old woman and said, "Old man, how do you sell this medicinal herb?"

The old woman was a little embarrassed and looked at Ma Teng for help.

Ma Teng smiled and said: "Madam, we usually sell this cordyceps for one tael of silver per catty."

Daohua: "I want this basket of cordyceps."

After hearing this, without waiting for Daohua's instructions, Defu took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman thanked Ma Teng repeatedly after receiving the silver, and handed the smallest piece to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng smiled and refused: "Mr. Feng, if I don't help you sell this time, I won't charge you any money. You should go back quickly. It's getting late."

The old woman looked happy, bent a few times in the direction of the carriage, then turned and left.

Seeing the old woman's legs and feet, Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows and said, "This old woman's body is quite good."

Daohua: “Eating cordyceps often is good for your health.”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ma Teng: "Many people ask you to help sell things?"

Ma Teng smiled and nodded: "They are all nearby neighbors. People from Xiliao in Bamu Town often come and go. They don't dare to come alone to buy things. I, there is still some way, so I can help everyone."

Buy something, charge some middle fee, and make a living."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng: "You have been living in Bamu Town. You should know a lot about things here, right?"

Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang, his mind turned a few times, and then he smiled confidently: "There is nothing about Bamu Town that I, Ma Teng, don't know."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng again, turned around and got into the carriage.

......

Looking at the carriage going away, Ma Teng lowered his eyes and began to ponder: "This Master Xiao... his background seems to be very simple."

As a middleman, in order to avoid trouble, he actually didn't want to inquire about the background of the buyer and seller, but today Master Xiao gave him too much pressure. Yelu Baichi's group of Xiliao people were not low in force, but they were beaten by Master Xiao.

All his men were wiped out. This is definitely not an ordinary businessman.

He had to find a way to find out who this Master Xiao was.

On the other side, Xiao Yeyang gathered with Daohua, Bu Gandang and others.

Xiao Yeyang looked at the five hundred horses surrounding the secret guards: "How about it, are the horses still obedient?"

Bu Gandang took out the whistle and said: "With this whistle, the horses don't run around."

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "That's good. You guys have to work hard and send the horses to the newly built Ganxuan Town overnight. When I get back, I will start training the soldiers in riding and archery."

Bu Gan accepted the order and left.

In the carriage, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang frowning and asked: "But there are not enough horses?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Ganzhou Wei originally had about a thousand horses, and today's 500 horses, the total is only 1,500 horses. It's enough for a small fight at ordinary times, but it needs to be done quickly.

It is indeed impossible to take back Danhe."

"I went to Danhe to take a look before. There are 20,000 Xiliao troops stationed there. If we want to win a quick battle, we must train at least 5,000 cavalry."

"Once time passes and the Xiliao army comes to support, if you are not careful, it may trigger a full-scale war."

"Uncle Emperor's attention is now focused on the navy. He definitely doesn't want chaos in the northwest. Fighting on two fronts will be too much for the national treasury."

Daohua thought for a while: "Have you noticed that there seems to be a special shortage of tea in Xiliao. I just paid careful attention to the transactions in Bamu Town and found that someone actually exchanged a cow for a can of tea."

Xiao Yeyang: "Xiliao people live a nomadic life and eat almost all beef and mutton. Foods such as milk are hot, greasy and difficult to digest. They need to drink tea regularly to improve their physical condition. Tea is actually a good food in Xiliao.

Plant a good medicine to cure diseases."

Daohua: "Since they are so short of tea, you can trade it with them."

Xiao Yeyang began to think deeply: "This method does work, but judging from the words of the Xiliao people just now, Xiliao has strictly controlled the sale of horses in the past two years. If you want to buy horses in large quantities, there is no way
