Tieguai Li didn't care, and Gu Datou didn't talk nonsense. The two of them walked down to the Shouling Hill of Xiaotian Garden without looking back.
When we arrived at the main road, a long caravan was waiting, and countless slaves were busy back and forth around the car.
Looking up, bright business flags were erected on the commercial vehicles, fluttering in the wind.
There are huge "Ling" characters written on it.
Su Lanling's caravan.
Ling Yunsheng, the business leader, had never seen Gu Datou before, and there were many veterans on crutches near the fortress. But as soon as he took a first look, he got off his horse and strode forward to greet them.
"I've met General Li and Gu Qianchang. I'm Ling Yunsheng from the Ling family's caravan."
Gu Datou remained silent, but his right hand had already touched the hammer handle at his waist. He took a step forward and stood in front of Tieguai Li, staring at him blankly.
After being a Qianchang for such a long time, and leading an entire brave cavalry battalion to walk a tightrope in the depths of the grassland, he is no longer the stupid guy in the past who only knows how to scratch his scalp when trouble comes.
After learning that the family leave was approved, Gu Datou has been doing various homework, knowing that the caravans on the east and west lines have been restored.
Therefore, it was not surprising to see a long and large caravan on the post road.
But to be precise, the east-west trade route only reaches Yanchuo Fortress for the time being, and the traveling caravans bring all kinds of urgently needed materials and personnel to Dingxi County and Yanchuo Fortress.
As for the grassland, although it is well known that it is a great treasure, no caravan has dared to set out to set foot on it yet, even the Ling family, as a large caravan, has the same problem.
Tieguai Li subconsciously tightened the urn in his arms, and after realizing it, he patted Gu Datou on the shoulder, "Give me! This is a fortress, what can happen?"
He stared at Ling Yunsheng on the opposite side, "You are the Lingjia business team of Su Lan County? Hey, I haven't seen it for a few years, why is it the business head of your hair boy, the old Ling head?"
Tieguai Li scratched his neck and looked around gloatingly, "Isn't he already dead?"
Ahem.
Although Ling Yunsheng was mentally prepared, his face still jumped twice, and he coughed twice to cover up.
"Back to the old general, my grandfather is old and handed over the position of business chief to this young man five years ago. However, everything is well with him, he is in good health and spirit, and he is currently enjoying his old age in his hometown."
"You're so healthy, you're so hale and hearty, I've never seen Old Ling shrink back like a bear." Tieguai Li snorted, but he relaxed, "I remember when I and the One-Eyed Dragon went on an expedition...
"
As soon as he mentioned the one-eyed dragon, Tieguai Li subconsciously glanced at the small urn in his arms. He suddenly became less interested and said, "Let's get straight to the point. Why are you waiting for us here?"
call!
Ling Yunsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Surrounded by the guards and servants of the Ling family's caravan, although on the surface everyone was busy with the things at hand, they had already secretly pricked up their ears. Tieguai Li unscrupulously exposed his grandfather's background, and Ling Yunsheng also wanted to face it.
"Old General Li..."
"General Mao's army," before Ling Yunsheng finished speaking, Tieguai Li interrupted him with a look of disgust, "Although your old Lingtou always looks forward and backward when doing things, he likes to smile playfully and treat everyone he meets.
Expensive and not refreshing at all..."
"Yes, yes." Ling Yunsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They were a long-distance caravan with the purpose of doing business, and they were not soldiers like Tieguai Li who said it was either iron or blood. Of course, their behaviors and styles could not be the same.
"But seniority is seniority, just call me Li Laoguaizi."
"This..." Ling Yunsheng wiped his sweat.
Not to mention that his grandfather and Tieguai Li were peers, but Ling Yunsheng had met Li Hezhu. It can be said that Li Hezhu is also one of his bosses now.
Furthermore, now that the backer behind the Ling family's caravan is the Ning Prince's Mansion in addition to the former Zhen Guogong Mansion, even if Ling Yun was brave enough, he would not dare to call Tieguai Li Zuo Li Laoguaizi.
"Since you don't like the younger generation to call you General Li," he hesitated for a moment and then came up with a compromise plan, "then I'd better call you Mr. Li."
Hum hum.
Tieguai Li stared, "That's nonsense. Who says I don't like hearing others call me General?"
Ling Yunsheng was stunned and quickly reacted.
Tieguai Li spent the first half of his life as a soldier. After being injured, he was unwilling to go home and stayed near the fortress to guard the tombs of his brothers. He was proud to be a soldier all his life.
At this time, if the granddaughter I have been thinking about was not about to give birth to a child, otherwise she would not leave. How could I not like this title?
"Junior accidentally said the wrong thing, please forgive me." Ling Yunsheng apologized quickly.
"That's all," Tieguai Li waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a title, casual. Don't be as polite and formal as your old Lingtou."
"Yes, yes." Ling Yunzhang let out a long sigh of relief.
"What are you trying to do by stopping us? I'm about to rush home to see my granddaughter and future great-grandson, so I don't have time to talk to you here."
"That's it." Ling Yunsheng finally saw the old man's capricious temper and quickly got to the point.
"Not long ago, I got news that the old man and I were about to go home to visit relatives. Our destination is Guangxin County in southern Xinjiang. How about we go on the road together? We can take care of each other."
Speaking of this, he laughed.
"If my grandfather learns that we have the good fortune to meet, but leaves you to travel alone, he will have to break my legs when he returns."
Tieguai Li and Gu Datou looked at each other, and both of them were suddenly stunned, but they were not surprised either.
In the past, whenever possible, caravans on the east-west front always liked to travel together with the soldiers on leave from the fortress. Firstly, it was for safety, and secondly, it was to avoid some troubles on the road.
Tsk tsk.
Tieguai Li looked Ling Yunsheng up and down, especially his slender legs, and quickly moved his eyes away in disgust.
"As expected of the Ling family, even the men have small arms and legs. It looks like they shouldn't be beaten, so let's go together."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ling Yunsheng and Gu Datou looked at each other, dumbfounded. They looked at Tieguai Li moving forward and quickly followed him.
"Old man, the caravan transported a lot of goods when it went west. It transported less goods when it returned east. Many cars were empty. I specially made one for you..."
winter!
Tieguai Li's beard was trembling, and he slapped the iron cane in his hand angrily, causing a burst of thick smoke.
"Do you mean that I am old and can no longer ride a horse?"
"Young man, I don't mean that." Ling Yunsheng sneered and waved his hand, "You can tell at a glance that I am a dragon-horse spirit and that I am mighty and domineering. I believe that if necessary, you can pick up a big sword and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make the enemy run away. It's just..."
Having said this, he paused, with a sincere look on his face.
"It's just that I think Dingxi and Guangxin County are far apart. Boss... my wife is about to give birth, and Prince Ning is still fighting on the Baekje Peninsula. I believe that my mother and son will need your careful care in the future."
He pointed to the bicycle frame next to him, "And for such a long journey, I think riding a bicycle is better for recuperating and recuperating than riding a horse."
"That's right." Gu Datou next to him nodded and hurriedly said to help, "Uncle Tieguai, you also have to take care of Uncle One-Eyed, right? If you are riding a horse, it will be bad if you bump into each other, so you'd better take a car."
He slapped his tall mount.
"If Uncle Tieguai gets tired of sitting in the car on the way, you can ride my horse instead. It is a good horse. It is invincible in the depths of the grassland. The people of Xiliang can't catch up at all."
Tieguai Li was a horse lover, so his eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Datou's mount, and after a while he let out a long sigh.
"A really good horse!"
He, One-Eyed Dragon and others have been guarding the border in the fortress. In the past few decades, the furthest distance they have only reached is the Benlu tribe. They have never been able to drive the royal court of Xiliang far away. From then on, he has made the Yunchui mainland safe and stable. This has always been his goal.
There was great hatred in my heart.
"Datou, you must take good care of such a horse, and don't carry an old and disabled person like me. In the future, you will have to rely on it to enter the grassland."
After saying that, without saying anything else, he walked up to the car that Ling Yunsheng had prepared for him and got in happily.
