It was obvious that the felt hat's surname was Sun. Afraid that Zhu Hongzhao would go back on his word, Sun Hee dashed out like a meteor. Zhu Hongzhao just shrugged his shoulders. It's just a felt hat, it's sold everywhere in Border Town.

Seeing him shrug his shoulders generously, Chen Xuanguang, the one-eyed old man, laughed and said: ”Young Noble is kind, don't be bullied by Sun Bastard. ”This kid was originally a military officer of the Guanhai Guards of the Ningbo Prefecture in Zhejiang Province. He has a good body of water, how could he be afraid of this little bit of rain?”

”No worries, I'll just treat it as giving it to him in advance.” Once we reach Xinping Fort, my father will prepare a set of clothing for all of us. At that time, everyone will have a brand-new hat for each of us.

A few servant s looked at each other and laughed. This Sun Hee had gotten the upper hand, and now it was time for him to get what he deserved.

Even the lips of Hee Chong, who was pretending to be asleep, curled up slightly. He narrowed his eyes and sized up the handsome young man with a pale face, who was curled up in a corner wrapped in a blanket.

The Zhu Family father and son did treat him well, but Xinping Fort was not that easy to deal with.

Let alone the Xinping Fort that was at the first line of escape. When Xinping Fort was established, it was already the military's territory, but as the military escaped, they no longer had many soldiers in their hands.

Xinping Fort and strategy were very important, but they were still flourishing even after the military had fled. Because of the Mashi, there were a large number of bustling citizens in the Xinping Fort business. If the terrain wasn't too far away, it might be the second place the Shanxi merchants had to go to to kill a tiger.

Since this place was so important, they couldn't just leave without the military, so Commander was overseeing the Xinping Fort on the right side. He held three thousand recruited border guards in his hands, which was enough to suppress Xinping Fort. Under this kind of premise, the managers of the Xinping Fort, which were well named, namely the Xinping Fort, also no longer had any meaning for their existence.

However, Emperor Wanli, after a long while without asking about the government, decided to send Zhu Yisu, the representative of the sect, to the Xinping Fort Palace to take charge of a thousand households. That was a problem. Old man Liu couldn't just watch the Wu father and son hang there. It had nothing to do with their friendship, but rather the accomplishments of his son, Liu Shiqing.

Therefore, Hee Chong's biggest mission was to help the Zhu Family father and son to gain a foothold. They didn't need the Zhu Family father and son to have much control, they only hoped that they wouldn't die because of the general.

Seeing that the handsome youth was safe and sound, Guo Pingcheng, who was a middle-aged man, heaved a huge sigh of relief, and then felt as if his head was about to explode.

Because of some unspeakable reasons, this handsome youth's condition worsened after the rain and he could only rest, not to mention accompanying the caravan to the north where they killed the tigers and left for the bitter and cold lands.

After dawn, Guo Pingcheng decided to visit Zhu Yisu with a gift.

Zhu Yisu and the rest were quite unlucky. Last night, the post office official was struck into a pile of charcoal by the lightning. As the only official on the scene, they needed to wait for Zhixian, Shanyin County, to make an investigation.

Therefore, Guo Pingcheng intended to ask Zhu Yisu to take care of this handsome dumb teenager named Guo Qingyan, even bringing the money to save his life. 1 had a total of 200 taels of gold.

This was a huge gift. Zhu Yisu's entire fortune was only around 5 taels. In response to Zhu Yisu's request, Guo Pingcheng also left his nephew, Guo Liang, to take care of the handsome mute youth, Guo Qingyan.

Guo Pingcheng and Zhu Yisu talked to each other as the main issue was solved. Although Guo Pingcheng was in the business world, he was also an Elementary Scholar. Scholars talk badly when they talk about business, and Zhu Yisu's theory is to follow the caravan to grow their knowledge.

How could they hide this from Zhu Yisu? Everyone was well aware of it. The two of them had an Elementary Scholar status, so they were able to have an equal conversation.

Hearing that Zhu Yisu was a member of the clan and had been bestowed the title of Xinping Fort Master by His Majesty, Guo Pingcheng's mind immediately became more active. As he walked, he said, ”Last night, tea leaves were soaked in the rain, and nearly half of it was lost. Sir Zhu oversees Xinping Fort and Mashi, I, Guo Yuan, truly admire you. ”The rest of the half cart of tea will be given to the bodyguards under Lord Zhu. Please do not refuse.”

It was only half a cart of tea, so it didn't count as a valuable gift. Zhu Yisu accepted it without a doubt and sent Guo Pingcheng off himself, saying: ”If Brother Guo is going back north, then we might as well go through Xinping Fort.”

”Then Lord Zhu needs to prepare some refreshments, I think I'll be visiting in early September.”

After sending off the Guo Family Caravan, Guo Pingcheng's nephew Guo Liang and four Guo Family servant s drove an oxcart over to the relay station.

After Zhu Yisu settled the group of people, Hee Chong rushed to the door.

At this moment, Zhu Hongzhao had wandered around the village and saw a pitiful young girl selling her body and mother. He really liked this kind of atmosphere. Since he was short of money, he had to ask for ten taels of silver from Zhu Hongzhao. How could Zhao Qi agree to that? He then brought Zhu Hongzhao to ask Zhu Yisu for approval.

23 taels of silver from Zhao Qi could be given to Zhu Hongzhao, but 10 taels of silver would be a little tricky to deal with.

Coincidentally, four people had gathered at one spot. Hee Chong was anxious and said: ”Master Zhu, do you know what's inside the car that Guo Family has given to Master?”

”Oh? ”Isn't it just half a car full of brick tea?”

”My lord is wise and wise, indeed, it is not brick tea, but salt, the finest snow salt. A car full of four salt, pure snow salt. ” As Hee Chong spoke the truth, Zhu Yisu's body trembled and his face stiffened.
