"Yes, they carry so much gold, what if they encounter robbers and get robbed?" Tasia was also a person with an unknown eyebrow, and sprinkled another pinch of salt on the fat man's small wound.
"Hahaha, Princess Tasia, you are worrying too much. Brother Xiao and the others are doing well if they don't rob others. Who dares to rob them?" Wen Huan said with a smile.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny? He's not a bad guy, why don't you tell me that he stole my gold?" The fat man doesn't like anyone now, and he will follow whoever he catches.
"Oh, today is the winter solstice. Do you remember?" King Wen Huan looked around and said, "We will eat dumplings later." Today is the winter solstice. It is customary to eat dumplings. They say that people on the road can also make dumplings.
So troublesome?
Of course not. They are frozen dumplings that have been made before departure. When eating, you just need to boil the pot under water and cook them.
"You just know how to eat!" The fat man caught a glimpse of Baili Qingyun's smile and ran towards him again, "Baili, why are you laughing so hard?"
"I didn't," Baili said hurriedly. "You think I'm blind!" Fatty said angrily.
"I was thinking about Jian Jia's wontons. When I got to Xuanming, I asked her to wrap them up for Brother Fat to eat. They are delicious. You must like them, Brother Fat." Baili heard Wen Huan talk about eating dumplings and thought of Jian Jia.
…and the wontons, and the smile naturally showed.
"Hmph, do you miss wontons or people?" the fat man said.
"I miss her," Baili said, "Fat brother, you also miss Qianye Ling, right?"
"I'm not as good-for-nothing as you, but she thinks I'm pretty good!" Speaking of Qianye Ling, the corners of the fat man's mouth also curved.
When I miss you, I look up and smile, do you know?
"Who is Qianye Ling?" Tasia on the side suddenly became alert.
"It's...Xiao Maotou!" Baili said.
"Who?" Tasia was stunned.
"Oh, I mean, Brother Xiao and the others are back. Look, isn't that Xiao Maotou?" Baili Yaoyao pointed to the sky.
A small red dot came in an instant, circled twice above everyone's heads, and landed on the fat man's shoulder. The big head rubbed his face, and they were very affectionate. Although the fat man always scolded the little parrot, the little parrot
The parrot also likes to cling to him.
"Get away, you're annoying!" The fat man pushed it away.
"Damn fat man!" The little parrot changed its expression very quickly, just like its owner. It landed on Tasia's horse and showed her kindness, "Beauty, have you missed me?"
"Tasia, stay away from him. This guy is a gangster and he likes to take advantage of girls!" said the fat man.
"I learned it from him." Little Parrot explained to Tasia, "He is the big hooligan."
"Where are Brother Xiao Maotou and the others?" Baili asked.
"A hundred miles away." The little parrot pointed to a small bamboo tube on his leg and said, "The boss has a note for Fatty. Please help me get it, beauty. You know, I have no hands." Tasia hurriedly took the bamboo tube.
Pass it to the fat man.
"What is this? A letter of apology or a letter of repentance? I won't forgive him no matter how he apologizes..." Fatty opened the note and took a look, a smile gradually appeared on his face, "This kid, do this with me!"
But it turned out that this was a cashier's check numbered by Xiao Ji, with the number clearly written on it, five hundred thousand taels!
It turns out that Xiao Chen borrowed money from me and paid a lot of interest. Look, you stinky boy didn't tell me earlier!
It made me hate you for several days... So when he saw Xiao Chen, even though he wanted to keep a straight face, he couldn't help but smile, "I only forgive you this time, but I won't allow it next time."
That’s it!”
"Hmph, you kid is just a penny, and you still have the nerve to hate me after I made a little joke? Tell the truth, you've been scolding me a lot these days, right?" Xiao Chen said.
"Don't make trouble!" Fatty said with a smile, "You are my biological brother, how can I scold you? The main reason is that I can't bear to leave you."
"Facial!" Xiao Chen also laughed.
When they arrived at the Xinghe tribe, the brothers of the Xuanyi Guards had already rushed to help. Now the border of Xinghe Yanyun was completely undefended, and any road guide issued by either side could pass through the other side without hindrance.
This promotes business exchanges between the two parties, and both parties benefit greatly.
Alexek and his envoys also met Xiao Chen and others in Xinghe territory. With the protection of the Xuanyi Guard brothers, their true identities would not be exposed.
After resting for two days in Xinghe, Wen Huan personally led his troops to send them all the way to the boundary monument at the border of Xuanming, where they parted ways.
Who erected this boundary monument? The Zhou Dynasty or the Han Dynasty?" Xiao Chen asked, looking at the colorful and worn stone tablet that had been weathered for many years.
It was established by the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty." Wen Huan said, "It has been decades ago."
"Smash it," Xiao Chen said. Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although Yan Yun and Jian He are as close as one family now, they are not one family after all. Boss, what do you mean by doing this?
Do you want to merge Xianhe into our Yanyun?
I'm just afraid that Prince Wen Huan won't be happy with it.
"Not only is this boundary monument going to be smashed, but all the boundary monuments bordering Yanyun and the northern Xinjiang ministries are going to be smashed." Xiao Chen said, "It's like a family living in the same courtyard. Is it necessary to erect a wall in the middle?
Is there a wall to separate us?"
"What the boss said makes sense." Dugu Lou said, "Anyway, now we have no defenses on the border between the two sides. This boundary marker is indeed useless. It will make people look at it, so it is better to smash it."
"Yes, yes, I think it will work. If we smash it, there will be no boundaries between us from now on. We will be completely a family."
Liu Congshu and the others also reacted and realized that the significance of Xiao Chen's move was actually very important!
From then on, there was no difference between Northern Xinjiang and Yanyun. There was only Northern Xinjiang, or only Yanyun.
There is no barrier.
This scene shocked Alexek and others. It was their first lesson in Yanyun...
Xuanming City is no longer what it used to be. Although it is the harsh winter, there is still an endless stream of merchants coming and going. The city gates are not closed day and night, allowing merchants and pedestrians coming and going from north to south to come and go freely.
There were many blond and blue-eyed barbarian merchants among them, so they had long been commonplace and accustomed to the people in the city. Alexek and his group of Russians were strutting through the city, and no one gave them a second glance.
Because it was a secret visit, there was no grand welcoming ceremony. Besides, in a small place like Xuanming, even if there was a ceremony, it wouldn't make any big noise.
Chen Ping arranged for more than 200 of them to live in the county government office. Although the county government office was a bit crude, it was spacious enough. He had repaired it in advance. It was barely enough for entertaining guests, mainly for safety reasons.
Although I don’t know the identities of these Ross devils, looking at the arrogance and high-mindedness of each of them, they still came back with the boss. I’m afraid they all have some status.
There were too many guests, and Sister-in-law Chen couldn't handle it all by herself, so she had to hire a few chefs and Su Jianjia to help...
