Yun Shanglan didn't ask any further. As long as Xu Zizhen asked her to do it, she would definitely do it, just like she did not hesitate to give her Luo Hong to him when she was in the Xiao Mansion.
Xu Zizhen whispered a few more words to her, which were about the dozens of Yun family generals, especially the top ten top three masters. For Xu Zizhen, it was simply a timely help. In this way, he would be in trouble in a few days.
There were more manpower available for that battle, and this was the most critical link.
After hearing Xu Zizhen's entire plan, Yun Shanglan was stunned for a long time. Finally, he exhaled and said, "You are really bold. If it were me, I would not dare to take such a risk."
Xu Zizhen said: "This is not called bold, but confident. By the way, why don't you leave half of those masters for me? I am short of people here."
Yun Shanglan glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "They are considered your people, but...if they are given to you, the caravan guard will not have enough manpower. Is it possible for me to draw people from Yaode City?
"
Xu Zizhen had heard this name more than once and couldn't help but ask: "Who covers Yaode City? Is it awesome? How many people do I need?"
Yun Shanglan chuckled: "If my cousin hears this, she will definitely not agree with you. My uncle gave Yaode City to you, a foreigner, despite any objections. In the end, it's just that you don't come to thank me personally, and you say such rude words.
"
Xu Zizhen was stunned. Isn't Yun Shanglan's uncle the old man Li Qianshun Chongzong? He finally came to his senses: "What did you say? He was given to me?"
Yun Shanglan smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Now you are the lord of Yaode City. You are exempted from all taxes and servants. You are happier than the feudal lords."
Xu Zizhen suddenly became interested: "Really? Tell me quickly, how big is that place? Is it rich? Are there many beauties?"
Yun Shanglan rolled her eyes at him: "It's not big, but Yaode City is the most fertile place for water and grass in Daxia. My uncle is willing to give you such a good place."
Xu Zizhen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He rubbed his hands and said: "Oh, so I have a base? Not bad, not bad. If I can't survive in the Song Dynasty, I won't have to run around."
Thinking of this, he finally understood what Yun Shanglan said before. Now his caravan has begun to take shape, and Yaode City is his base camp, where all goods are collected and distributed. In addition, he keenly captured the word:
The water and grass are rich, which means this place is suitable for raising horses.
In Xu Zizhen's plan, there is no rush to get horses now, but in the future, as an absolute necessity for war, horses will definitely be imported. There is no way, who makes the old Zhao family not have much land to raise horses?
Xu Zizhen left Yun Shanglan's house at midnight. The courtyard was quiet. He did not go back to his apartment. Instead, he came to a deserted corner and stood there, waving to the night sky. Soon, Xiao Nongyu appeared.
in front of him.
Xu Zizhen asked in a low voice: "Am I right?"
Xiao Nongyu's eyes were a little strange, but she still nodded: "She left the house in the evening and met someone at the side door. She didn't speak, but she handed a note to the person."
Xu Zizhen said: "That person went north?"
Xiao Nongyu said: "Exactly."
A weird smile appeared on Xu Zizhen's lips: "This female spy simply fell from the sky and was sent to me. Without her, I wouldn't be able to perform this play."
The female spy he was talking about was Zhang Xiaochun's daughter-in-law Yan Yucong. Xu Zizhen had always suspected that there was a spy in the city, and this spy was definitely someone who could get close to the core figures in the city, so when he became suspicious of Yan Yucong, he decided to let Xiao Nongyu keep an eye on her.
He caught her tip, and he was indeed fooled.
After Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Nongyu. The eldest princess of Xiliao had been acting secretly since she came to Taiyuan. She never appeared in front of people, but she really suffered for her. Xu Zizhen felt a trace of guilt in his heart: "Nongyu, this
You’ve been working hard for a while, just hold on for a few more days, and then you won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Xiao Nongyu was slightly startled, then narrowed his eyes into two crescent moons, and said with a smile: "Are you embarrassed to be so thick-skinned?"
Xu Zizhen scratched his head in embarrassment: "You are not like me. It's not a problem if I always use you like this... Let's do this. I'll give your brother a gift when things get settled."
Xiao Nongyu suddenly looked wary: "What do you want to do? What gift do you want to give me?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just thought about it and put on a bad smile and said: "What gift? Of course it's a betrothal gift. What's the point of asking for a marriage in Daliao? Do you think it's better to give two fans of pork or four?
How about satin?"
Only then did Xiao Nongyu hear the ridicule in Xu Zizhen's words. She couldn't help but blush and glared at him fiercely: "Bah! Is my aunt worthy of these things? If you want to marry me, you will need at least a thousand taels of gold and a hundred dendrobium pearls."
, and you have to beat me!"
Xu Zizhen suddenly said: "I'll choke you! Why don't you just tell me to give up? Why slap me in the face so loudly? Forget about gold and pearls. At worst, I can sell my butt to save money, but if I can beat you early
He went to Beijing to kill the Emperor of Jin."
Xiao Nongyu blushed and spat: "You are so vulgar, I don't know how a tall and talented woman is willing to obey you, ah..."
She realized she had spilled the beans mid-sentence, and quickly reached out her hand to cover it, but it was already too late. Xu Zizhen smiled evilly: "Oh, I thought Miss Xiao was an upright and pure girl, and she liked to listen to the corner of the wall even if she made trouble for a long time.
ah?"
Xiao Nongyu was so embarrassed that her neck turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who asked you to make such a loud noise? I'm not deaf. If you keep talking, I will...I will wait outside your house every day to see which girl's house you want to enter."
I'm going to make trouble here!"
Xu Zizhen covered his collar and said in panic: "What a terrible threat. Do you want to monopolize me? I...I am a good man!"
Xiao Nongyu could not wait to pull out her sword and fight him to the death, but Xu Zizhen suddenly straightened his expression: "Okay, let's stop making trouble and get down to business."
Regardless of how angry Xiao Nongyu was, Xu Zizhen forced himself into her ear and whispered something. Finally, he said seriously: "Don't forget it, otherwise you won't be able to perform the second play."
Xiao Nongyu took a deep breath and finally came to her senses. She turned around and glared at Xu Zizhen again: "I got it!" After saying that, she turned around and left.
But just when she was about to jump up, Xu Zizhen laughed evilly and said, "Hey, are all the girls from Daliao butts as perky as yours?"
Xiao Nongyu almost fell to the ground with a stumble under her feet. She was so angry and ashamed that she pulled out her sword without saying a word and turned around to kill Xu Zizhen, but Xu Zizhen had already smeared the soles of his feet and escaped.
"You bastard! You thief! My aunt has decided to make trouble for you next time! Humph!" Xiao Nongyu stamped her foot fiercely and disappeared into the night.
After returning to his room, Xu Zizhen lay down on the morning bed with a mysterious smile on his face and murmured in a low voice: "Student Nian didhe, the auspicious time is coming soon. I wonder if your 30,000 former troops are ready."
