After receiving the report from the knight, Chen Lixin learned from him the situation Cheng Cheng was facing now, and knew that Cheng Cheng might really not have time to come.
With King Yun watching him, once the Yunzhou Army is dispatched on a large scale, they will definitely be discovered by Prince Yun's Mansion. If Prince Yun's Mansion follows the clues and discovers what they are doing, everyone will probably be finished by then!
But if they were to trade with those grassland tribes alone without the protection of the Yunzhou Army, their safety would not be guaranteed. No one knows whether these grassland barbarians would suddenly kill them and rob them!
Chen Lixin is in trouble!
On one side are high profits, on the other side are unknown crises.
If you succeed, you will make a lot of money. If you lose, everyone will have to finish the game.
The heads of the four families were all caught up in making a decision.
"I think we should just forget it this time. We have to be on the safe side. No one knows the tempers of those barbarians. I don't want to risk my life here instead of not making any money."
Sun Xingzhou, the head of the Sun family, was the first to express his opinion.
The other three were silent.
After a moment, Chen Lixin shook his head and said: "No, you don't know that this business is not something we can do if we don't want to do it. In order to deliver this batch of "goods" this year, how many connections have been used in all aspects, and How many people will the profits be divided among?
So many people are waiting to split the accounts after the business is completed. If we suddenly tell them that we are not going to do it, what do you think they will do to us? "
"But... we can't risk our lives to do this business!" Sun Xingzhou was anxious.
Chen Lixin glanced at him and asked lightly:
"So what? Do they care?"
Sun Xingzhou turned to look at the other two people.
"You all say something!"
Li Xuanji and Wang Zhihuan just turned their heads and didn't look at him.
Li Xuanji was too lazy to say more, since everything would end the same anyway, but Wang Zhihuan knew that what Chen Lixin said was the truth. When they reached this point, many things were beyond their control.
There are too many interests involved behind some businesses, and too many people are waiting to reap the rewards. If they want to stop, these people can tear them all into pieces!
They have no choice but to go all the way to the end!
Seeing their attitude, Sun Xingzhou understood their position. Three against one, what else could he say?
You can only follow the crowd, otherwise...
Bang bang bang!
Chen Lixin clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said loudly to the three of them: "Okay, now that we have made a decision, let's do it. The day after tomorrow is the day for us to trade with the Jiamu tribe early in the morning. Everyone should go back to check the goods and confirm After picking up the goods, we will start the transaction later. We strive to complete the transaction as soon as possible to avoid long nights.
Does everyone have any objections? "
After saying that, Chen Lixin glanced around at the other three people. The three of them were silent, and then each stood up and headed towards the station of his caravan.
Chen Lixin didn't say anything more. He looked back in the direction outside the valley. He saw a white snowy scene and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Chen Lixin couldn't help but shiver, and then hurriedly walked towards his caravan. For some reason, there was always a sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart, making him panic.
"I hope there won't be any more accidents..." he looked forward to it.
The junction between Yunzhou County and Wai Grassland.
A prairie cavalry of over a thousand people was heading towards the unknown valley.
At this moment, they were not far from the nameless valley. At a lake, the cavalry stopped one after another and began to replenish their water bags to rest.
Two big-shouldered prairie men walked to the lake with water bags and began to fetch water.
One of the two has a full beard, eyes as sharp as an eagle, wide and plump cheeks, obviously living a good life, and a strong aura about him that is intimidating.
Although the other one is also very strong, he is thinner than the first one. His face is also a long horse face, white and beardless. If you look closely, it turns out that he has been shaved cleanly. His eyes flashed from time to time, and at first glance he looked like the kind of person who was good at calculations. He was not as strong and tough as the others in the cavalry, but rather looked like a dog-headed strategist.
"Zhasia, how long until we reach our destination?"
After fetching the water himself and tightening the lid, the bearded man turned to the side and asked the man who was also tightening the lid.
Zhacia, the thinner man, quickly put the water bag on his waist, looked around and replied respectfully:
"Khan, this is already in Yunzhou County. According to the news from the Suni Department last year, when you arrive at the first lake in Yunzhou, you are not far from your destination. You only need to go south again. It only takes one day's work to reach your destination the next morning."
The bearded man is the Khan of the Jiamu Tribe—Jiamu Aslan.
Hearing this, Aslan casually put the water bag back on his waist and said:
"Since there is only one day's journey, let the warriors have a good rest these two days. I don't know what the situation is on the southern side. The warriors must use their strongest state to deal with it. I will inform you tonight. Set up tent here and we’ll set off again tomorrow morning.”
Zhaxia immediately nodded after hearing this: "Okay Khan, I will inform you later. Also, Khan, I heard that the Southerners sent a king to Yunzhou County at the end of last year. Will this happen?" Will it affect our transactions this year?”
"King? What king?"
Hearing this, Aslan stopped abruptly, turned to look at Zashiya and asked.
"It seems to be called King Yun. I heard that he is the sixth son of the Southern Emperor. In the future, this King Yun will be stationed in Yunzhou County."
Zhaxia told all the information she learned one by one.
Aslan thought for a moment and asked the question he was most concerned about: "I heard that when the son of the Southern Emperor is crowned queen, the emperor will give this son some soldiers as his subordinates. This King Yun, how many soldiers did the Southern Emperor give him? Bring Yunzhou County?"
"It seems like there are only two thousand!"
Zhacia recalled the information he had obtained and said this answer with certainty.
"Two thousand? All cavalry?"
"Yes, they are all cavalry!"
Aslan turned back and forth twice with his hands behind his back, and then ordered:
"Our Jiamu tribe is only a medium-sized tribe, and there are only two thousand young men in the tribe. We brought half of them directly for this transaction. I am afraid that there will be some surprises when King Yun comes. Even if there are no surprises, We can't take risks either.
In this way, when Zhaxia trades the day after tomorrow, I will only take 600 people there, and you will hide outside with the remaining 400 people. Once there is an unexpected situation inside, I will let Haidongqing send a signal, and you will support us immediately, but if we see Don’t hesitate even if you can’t save us, immediately take the remaining warriors back to the tribe to help my Bals ascend to the throne of Khan and maintain the tribe! "
"Six hundred people?!"
Zhaxia exclaimed and was so busy: "Khan, 600 people are too few. According to past practice, the southerners will send out a thousand people to guard. You only bring 600 people in case those southerners move." What should I do if I have bad thoughts?"
Aslan shook his head slightly:
"Six hundred people are enough. I heard from the tribes who traded with the Southerners in the past few years that the Southerners' army today is not what it used to be.
Long-term peace has turned tigers into sheep, but our warriors in Jiamube have grown up in battle all day long.
If the other party keeps the promise and the original 1,000 people are still there, then 600 people will be enough. If the other party wants to have any bad intentions, it will be useless even if the last 400 people are brought over. It is better to leave them to the tribe. Some foundation.
Zhaxia, just do as I say, I will consider other things. "
Seeing that Khan had said this, Zhaxia could only respect and obey.
The cavalrymen of the Jiamu tribe were stationed by the lake.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, the Jiamu tribe's cavalry set out again, galloping towards the nameless valley...
