    This was the most comfortable day Cao Ang had ever lived since he traveled through time. He got up with the soldiers in the morning, did morning exercises together, dealt with some military and political affairs in the morning, read in the afternoon, and met with the generals in the evening to summarize the gains and losses during the day's training.  Although it is hard work, it is very comfortable to not have to worry about it.

    However, for time-travelers, happy days are always short-lived.  Early this morning, news came from the spies sent by Cao Hong. News came from the Wei family in Hedong that they were willing to exchange coarse salt from the salt pond for corn grains from Hanoi County.

    Although the price of food is high, due to the war recently, the price of salt has also been rising continuously, and its value is stronger than five baht!  Even if it is to resell salt to the Central Plains, this business is still very profitable.  However, the Wei family also put forward a condition, which was that they must have an interview with the leader of the Cao family army, otherwise there would be no need to negotiate!

    Li Su frowned and asked, "Why do we need our leader to interview them? Do they have any conspiracy?"

    Cao Hong frowned, thought seriously for a while, and then whispered: "According to the information sent by the spies, the Wei family has just occupied Dongyuan. I guess they want to show us the strength of the Wei family and hope to gain from the negotiation."  Strive for more benefits.¡±

    Cao Ang looked at the map. Dongyuan was right on the road from Yanchi to Jiguan. After the Wei family occupied Dongyuan, the salt from Yanchi could be transported directly to Jiguan without having to pay heavy taxes. The cost price of coarse salt dropped sharply.  , everyone can also earn more profits!

    So Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "General Li Su, look, how about I go and discuss with the Wei family in person? Anyway, I have nothing to do during this time and am relatively free. Our military camp has now reached a certain scale, and it is estimated that it will be completed after autumn.  We can obtain a large amount of food, and we can use part of it to exchange supplies with Hedong County. Especially the war horses of Hedong County, whether we use them for ourselves or sell them to the Central Plains, there is a huge profit margin!"

    Li Su, however, still shook his head repeatedly, "My lord, this is inappropriate. This is too reckless."

    However, Cao Hong felt that it was no big deal and whispered: "If you want to go out and relax, it's not impossible. Let me go to negotiate with the Wei family. My lord, you can pretend to be a boy in the caravan. With your current situation,  If you say you are sixteen or seventeen years old despite your height, no one will doubt you.

    ¡° In this way, my lord can not only guide me by my side, but also lead people to quietly inspect the topography of Hedong County, and there should be no suspicion.  "

    Cao Ang nodded repeatedly, "This method is good, General Li Su, what do you think?"

    Li Su shook his head repeatedly, "My lord, I think it's inappropriate. Think about last time, we made budget arrangements in advance and led thousands of elite soldiers to attack Xingyang. The result was heavy damage, and General Han Hao was killed on the spot. Now.  You want to visit incognito again, which I think is very inappropriate."

    However, Cao Hong felt that the status of military generals was getting higher and higher, but as a financial manager, he didn't have much to show for himself, and his status was getting lower and lower. Now that he finally had a chance to show up, he couldn't let it go easily.

    He quickly retorted: "What's wrong with this? The situation in Hedong County has stabilized, and the Wei family has also occupied territory along the route. The few horse bandits and thieves are no match for our escort. And when we go here, we can  The identity of the envoy of Hanoi County goes openly, and he can be protected and supported by the Wei family's armed forces along the way. I don't think there is any danger at all! Lord, don't worry!"

    Li Su frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master Registrar, don't mislead the lord with your own selfish interests. The lord's safety is the first priority now!"

    Cao Hong also said angrily: "My lord's safety is of course the first priority, but my lord is not a flower kept in a house. It is always good to go out and see more!"

    The two people's voices became louder and louder. Seeing that their faces were getting redder and redder, and Cao Hong's face turned the color of pig liver, Cao Ang quickly said: "Okay, okay, Lord Cao, you are responsible."  Form a caravan, prepare corresponding goods, and control the size to about a hundred people; I will dispatch a team of cavalry to serve as escorts and travel with me. Li joins the army, our cavalry battalion needs an opportunity to train, you make a detailed plan  , to avoid the sight of the Wei family. Maybe they can also be a clever move to force the Wei family to make concessions!"

    Li Su looked at Cao Hong, who was blushing, and Cao Ang, who wanted to calm down the incident. He could only sigh helplessly and agreed.

    ¡­¡­

    At the same time, in Anyi City, there was the Wei family's mansion.

    In the back garden, most of a furnace of fine sandalwood had been burned, but Cai Yan's hands were still resting on the strings of the piano, and there was no movement.

    Cai Qian, the dowry maid, persuaded in a low voice: "Miss, you can't go on like this. You have lost a lot of weight this month. If the master knew about it, he would think that we servants have not taken good care of you!"

      At this time, Cai Yan was only seventeen years old. She sighed and said to Cai Qian: "My husband's condition has not improved at all, how can I continue to eat?"

    Cai Qian looked around and saw that Cai Yan and her were the only ones in the pavilion, so she whispered: "Miss, you are so sincere. You two have not consummated your marriage, let alone worshiped heaven and earth. What kind of husband is Wei Zhongdao? The Wei family is also a bully.  They rushed us here just to celebrate! Now Wei Zhongdao is seriously ill and can't stand up at all. He doesn't even have the strength to worship. Aren't they bullying people? Our Cai family is also a wealthy family with a big name and a surname. Why?  If you can bear such humiliation, miss, please write a letter to the master quickly and ask him to send someone to take us back."

    Cai Yan shook her head gently, with tears in her eyes. She whispered: "Dad was conquered by Dong Zhuo and his reputation was tarnished. Now he is forced to move to Chang'an. There is no news at all. I don't know yet"

    Speaking of sadness, Cai Yan couldn't help but shed tears. Cai Qian whispered: "Miss, you will feel better if you cry. Just cry"

    While persuading, Cai Qian also shed tears.

    At this moment, a middle-aged man strode into the pavilion. The inferior sachet on his body gave off a strong fragrance, which made the small pavilion look a little more tacky.

    I saw the man bowing to Cai Yan, and asked with a smile: "It turns out to be a girl from the Cai family. Who bullied you? My brother Wei Gu will avenge you! As long as you call me brother"

    As he spoke, Wei Gu stretched out his hand with a smile and reached for Cai Yan's hand.

    Cai Yan had never seen Brother Zhu with such a lustful face. He quickly retracted his hand, and Wei Gu grabbed the strings and made a noise.

    He quickly retracted his hand, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one else.  Wei Gu said with a smile: "Sister Cai family, although Wei Zhongdao is the legitimate son of the Wei family, he has been a sick boy since he was a child. Even if he goes to the church to get married, it is just a decoration. Look at me again. I have a lot of money.  The kiln sisters in the city all praised me for my skills and rushed to give me sachets! Anyway, your father is trapped in Chang'an City, and there is no news. When Wei Zhongdao passes away, you can follow me!  "

    As he spoke, Wei Gu moved forward.

    Cai Yan stood up quickly, hid behind Cai Qian, and said angrily: "Master Wei, please respect yourself! Although Zhongdao has not married me, we have exchanged birthday invitations, and I can be considered a member of the Wei family. Master, please respect yourself!"  "

    Seeing a trace of anger flashing across the face of the delicate and timid Cai Yan, Wei Gu felt his lower body swollen. He smiled and said: "Sister, at least I am also a governor of our Hedong County and a prominent figure in our Anyi City.  Sister, please consider me"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard someone coughing not far away. Wei Gu quickly put away his playful smile and said in a deep voice: "Brother and sister, Zhongdao's illness has not improved, so don't be too sad"

    Having said this, he pretended to raise his head casually, cupped his hands and said: "Brother, why are you here? I am trying to persuade my younger siblings to be more open-minded. Since you are here, please help me persuade my younger siblings.  , I¡¯ll go to the county governor¡¯s mansion first, there¡¯s still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with there!¡±

    Wei Gu left in a hurry, and Wei Ji came in and whispered: "He came to harass you again?"

    Cai Yan lowered his head and just cried secretly.

    Wei Jian sighed, "My younger brother is so unsatisfactory. But you have to be self-disciplined and don't hang around in front of outsiders all the time! Although you have never paid a visit to Zhongdao, the two of you have already exchanged wedding invitations. According to legal principles,  Speaking of which, you are considered a member of our Wei family, so you must respect yourself!"

    Cai Yan just kept crying after hearing this, but Cai Qian couldn't help but retorted: "I have never heard of such a reason. He has obviously come to molest my lady several times, but you don't blame him, but you come to question us! Let's hide  We hide and avoid, but he is always the husband of your Wei family, and we live in the Wei family, how can we avoid him?"

    Wei Jian frowned and said angrily: "You talk too much! It's not your maid's turn to teach me a lesson about our Wei family! If you show off your words again, I will find someone to sell you out! If you join our Wei family,  , you have to abide by the rules of our Wei family!"

    Cai Qian was trembling with fear after being frightened by Wei Jian. Cai Yan wiped her red and swollen eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lang, there is no need to threaten Qian'er. She is a slave of my Cai family. Even if she follows me into Anyi  , but they are still members of the Cai family. I have never heard of a person whose household registration documents are in my Cai family actually becoming a slave of the Wei family for no reason!"

    Wei Jian frowned slightly and looked at Cai Yan, who had always been weak, in surprise.  As expected of a woman from the Cai family, she is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and has a certain character.

    He sighed and advised in a low voice: "I hopeYou understand our Cai family's difficulties. Let's do this. I will arrange for someone to take you to Dongyuan tomorrow to relax and avoid Wei Gu.  Wait for a few days. When Zhongdao recovers from his illness, you and Zhongdao will go to the church to get married. Then Wei Gu will not harass you again!  "
