Inside the hall.
Zhang Shiping's expression was very strange. He held up the wild ginseng and looked at it again and again. Turning around to look at Wu Nian from time to time.
"I'm not wrong. This is the ginseng you need. It's just your luck. You saved an old man in front of the city gate, and you got this rare treasure."
Zhang Shiping put down the ginseng and said with envy and hatred.
This kind of thing may not be found in the palace. Noble people get sick a lot. You eat a piece, and he eats a piece. No matter how big the century-old wild ginseng is, it can't withstand being eaten up.
"This is not luck, this is cause and effect. I can't stand the Meng Yuan people bullying the old man, so why would the old man give this to me?" Wu Nian shook his head, but he had a different opinion. Immediately, a look of regret appeared on his face and he said: "I should have taken a look at that time, otherwise I would have given the old man more money. I only gave the old man ten taels of silver. None of the profiteers were cheating on me."
At that time, I didn't ask the old man his name or where he lived. Otherwise, he could also send someone to deliver the money, but it's a pity, a pity.
"No. Ten taels of silver is a small amount, but for that old man, it's almost enough." Zhang Shiping shook his head, then picked up a century-old wild ginseng from the coffee table and put it in front of him for inspection, and said, "Look at this ginseng. It seems that the old man has had it for a while. He may have been in and out of Dongyuan City more than a dozen times. But he didn't take action. Why? Because if this ginseng fell into the hands of profiteers, he might even lose his life. "
"Even if you meet a good person, give him a few hundred taels of silver. When he is on the way, he has to see the King of Hell."
"As for the old man, he can't keep this ginseng and its value. I met you in front of the city gate and you gave him ten taels of silver. He gritted his teeth and gave it to you."
"It's right to say it's cause and effect. But when it comes to ten taels of silver, it's very suitable for an old man."
Wu Nian didn't expect this just now. After listening to Zhang Shiping's explanation, he felt thoughtful. Then he glanced at Zhang Shiping and said, "You ginseng merchants are really dark."
"It's quite dark." Zhang Shiping nodded calmly.
He has never done this kind of murderous thing on weekdays, but he often tries to suppress the price of ginseng diggers, as a businessman.
The pursuit of profit is instinctive.
"Sir, I can get some ginseng tendrils, which may save lives in the future. Do you mind?" Zhang Shiping suddenly looked salivating and looked at Wu Niandao eagerly.
This is a century-old ginseng, and the ginseng can save lives.
"We share the same sorrow, so there's no need to be polite. If you want, I can leave half of it for you." Wu Nianji said generously.
"That won't work. This half of it is priceless. I'll just get some ginseng whiskers." Wu Nian was generous, but Zhang Shiping didn't take advantage of him and shook his head.
After saying that, Zhang Shiping broke off five ginseng roots from the century-old ginseng. Then he didn't take advantage of Wu Nian, so he made an exquisite and valuable box, filled it with ginseng and returned it to Wu Nian.
"Keep it well and don't waste good things." Zhang Shiping looked solemn.
"Yeah." Wu Nian rolled his eyes at Zhang Shiping. Don't I know this superficial truth? Why do you need to teach me?
After a while. Wu Nian carefully carried the ginseng box back.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye. Early that morning, Wu Nian was preparing to lead the team back to Beishan Fort.
Because there were so many large vehicles and luggage, there were also some military households who were good at making weapons that Wu Nian spent money on.
Now the Liaodong territory is not peaceful again. There were so many bandits and horse thieves that Wei Changqing sent Wei Yun to lead a thousand elite troops to escort Wu Nian south.
Wei Changqing, Wei Ru, Zhang Shiping and others came to the south of the city to see him off.
"Xiao Wu, you have to take care. If something goes wrong, just leave. Keep the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood. A man like you must die vigorously even if he dies. Don't throw your life away easily."
Wei Changqing stretched out his generous palm, patted Wu Nian's left shoulder, and said sincerely.
Wu Nian understood what he meant.
This old general planned to die in Liaodong and fight to the death with the Mongolians.
And this time, it may be the last time the two of them speak.
Wei Changqing's words showed his respect for this young junior.
Wu Nian didn't say anything else, just nodded heavily.
"Green mountains remain unchanged, green waters will always flow. Everyone, we say goodbye." Wu Nian took a deep breath, looked up at Wei Changqing, Wei Ru, and Zhang Shiping, and said solemnly with his fists clasped.
"Take care of yourself."
"treasure."
Wei Changqing, the three of them clasped their fists together. Immediately, Wu Nian got on his horse, picked up his horse, and headed south with everyone, gradually farther away.
The three of them watched Wu Nian's team disappear into the horizon before returning to the city together.
Zhang Shiping doesn't plan to stay in Haitian City for a long time and will leave in a few days.
Although he respected the old general very much, it was precisely because of the old general's persistence that Haitian City was too dangerous. It is impossible for him to settle down in Haitian City.
Wei Changqing took his daughter back to the command office.
"Daughter, fighting is a man's business. But you want to join the army, and there is nothing you can do about it as a father. But there is one thing you have to remember. If I die in the city, you must find a way to escape."
"Then inquire about Wu Nian's whereabouts. My father is very optimistic about Wu Nian. Even if all the Han people in Liaodong surrender, he may choose to avoid the danger temporarily, but he will definitely not surrender. Instead, he will accumulate strength and make a comeback."
"Follow him. Don't worry there are no Mengyuan people to kill."
As soon as Wei Changqing stepped through the door, he turned around and spoke seriously to Wei Ru.
This daughter is really a good daughter. It's a pity that he is so lucky that he may not be able to see him for much longer.
Regarding the Mongolian people's offensive this year, he was full of pessimism.
Although Wei Ru is rough and broad-minded, there is actually a subtlety in his roughness. Hearing this, his nose felt sour, but he said cheerfully: "Dad, don't say such depressing words. Meng Yuan people are nothing. With my daughter, I have this horse pole in my hand. If they come, a hundred will die. If they come, a hundred will die." Ten thousand will die and ten thousand will die.”
"Hahaha." Wei Changqing was amused by her, reached out and pinched his daughter's nose, and then strode away.
Good guy.
Why am I not as strong and heroic as my daughter when things get tough?
I, Wei Changqing, have been in Liaodong for many years and killed countless Mongolians. Don't let your head down.
Just like what Wu Nian said.
As long as there is a breath left, the fight will not stop.
As long as you can fight, there is still hope of victory.
Beishan Fort.
The autumn sunshine shines on the earth, giving crops enough nutrients to make them grow vigorously.
The planting of crops in Beishan Fort this year is particularly unique. The military households are planting wheat, rice and other traditional crops, while Wu Nian's land is full of cotton.
In the fields, countless military households and domestic slaves were busy.
At this time, Wu Nian led his huge baggage team back to his loyal Beishan Fort.
