"These are..." Li Huaixin looked at the large cars with hesitation.
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "My lord, you ordered a batch of wild goose feather knives and arrow clusters before. Now you have purchased them all. I will take advantage of this trip to send them to my lord."
Li Huaixin laughed heartily and said: "Haha, I didn't expect you, Boss Liu, to have all the things I asked for so quickly."
"Open the straw mat on the cart." Zhao Yutu waved to a gunman standing next to the cart.
The two gunmen standing at the rear of the cart each grabbed a corner of a straw mat and dragged it forward a few steps. They opened a section of the straw mat on the cart, revealing a neatly arranged handle underneath. Yan Ling Dao.
Li Huaixin walked to the car, reached out and picked up a Yanling knife from inside, and pulled the blade out of the scabbard, followed by a cold light.
The wild goose feather knife made of the Tiger Flag has a blade width of five centimeters, a back thickness of one centimeter, a blade length of eighty centimeters, and a weight of about three kilograms.
"Here, take the knife you are wearing." Li Huaixin pointed at the knife hanging on the waist of a soldier beside him.
The soldier took the sword out of the scabbard and handed it over with both hands.
Li Huaixin took it, holding the soldier's saber in his left hand and the wild goose wing knife sent by the Tiger Flag in his right hand. After comparing it, he immediately raised his right arm and slashed hard at the saber in his left hand with the wild goose feather knife in his right hand.
Ding!
After the impact, there was a gap in the blade of the soldier's sword in his left hand, but there was no difference in the Yanling sword in his right hand.
"Good knife, really good knife." Li Huaixin praised repeatedly.
The sword in his left hand was thrown back to the soldier, and the Yanling sword in his right hand was put back into the scabbard.
At this time, Zhao Yutu said: "There are three hundred Yanling knives in the car. The extra hundred is a gift from our proprietor to Mr. Li."
"Haha, your proprietor is very interesting. Thank you proprietor for me." Li Huaixin laughed heartily.
A good Yan Ling knife requires at least fifteen kilograms of fine iron to be forged repeatedly. The cost of a complete Yan Ling knife will not be less than two taels of silver. Each handle is said to be sold for at least five taels of silver. Zi Bai got a hundred fine Yan Ling knives, which is equivalent to Bai getting five hundred taels of silver.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Zhao Yutu said, "Before coming here, our proprietor told us that we only charge one or two and eight cents of silver for each Yanling Knife. As for the more than a thousand arrow clusters, they should be treated as gifts to Your Excellency. "
"This makes me so embarrassed." Li Huaixin said, "How about this, the silver required for this batch of Yanling knives and arrow clusters will be deducted from my iron farm bonus next month."
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "Our proprietor has told us that by stationing at Xinping Fort, you are stationed at the border fort for the Ming Dynasty, so the money matter is not urgent. It will not be too late to make up for it whenever you have money."
"Then I shamelessly accepted the things." Li Huaixin said with a smile.
It was said that they would make up for it with the money. Both of them knew that this batch of things was equivalent to the tiger-character flag being given to the general's mansion in vain, or in other words, it was given to the general Li Huaixin in vain.
Zhao Yutu said: "There is one more thing. I hope Mr. Li can help solve it?"
"No matter what Mr. Zhao said, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Li Huaixin did not shirk. With the interest relationship between him and the Tiger Flag, unless it was a matter of life and death, there was nothing he could not agree to.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Zhao Yutu said, "I hope Mr. Li can send us two guides who are familiar with the situation there. It is our first time to go to the border of Beilu, so we are not familiar with the situation there. do not know much."
"I think this is a big deal, this is easy." Li Huaixin turned to his soldiers and said, "Go and find brothers Chen Wen and Chen Wu."
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned and left.
Li Huaixin withdrew his gaze and said to Zhao Yutu: "Mr. Zhao, it's so hot outside, why not go inside and have a cup of tea to relieve the heat."
It's only mid-May, and the weather is already as hot as a furnace, no different than the dog days of summer in previous years.
Such hot weather has been rare in recent years. According to some veteran farmers, this year is the hottest in the past 20 years.
Many dry lands only harvested a few buckets of grain per acre, which was only a little better than the few harvests during the Tianqi Dynasty.
After entering the General's Mansion, Li Huaixin directly entertained Zhao Yutu in the main hall.
In less than a cup of tea, the soldier who was sent to find the person came back from outside, with two strong men behind him.
However, both Chinese characters have small round faces, beards, and braids on their heads. They are not too tall and have bow legs.
If it weren't for the fact that these two men were wearing Han costumes, Zhao Yutu would have almost thought that two Northern Tatars had sneaked into the general's house.
"Sir, bring Chen Wen and Chen Wu."
"Chen Wen and Chen Wu, see your lord."
"Okay, no need to be polite." Li Huaixin raised his right hand, then looked at Zhao Yutu and said, "These two people are Ye Bushou under this general. They are both Tatar officials. They understand the Tatar language and are familiar with the Beilu people." familiar."
Hearing the word "Tatar", Zhao Yutu suddenly realized that no wonder he almost thought he was a Tatar, but he was actually a real Tatar.
There is no difference between the Tatar officials in the Ming Dynasty and the Han people. They can also serve as officials, but most of them are in the frontier army. Many Tatar officials have lived in the Ming Dynasty for several generations. Their living habits have long been integrated with the Han people. The hatred between them and the northern captives has not been eliminated at all. There is no less enmity than the hatred between the Han people in Datong and the Northern captives. Whether it is the Han people in the border towns or the Tartars, the feud between them and the Northern captives is a blood feud that has been fought for generations.
"I would like to thank Mr. Li here in advance." Zhao Yutu smiled and arched his hand towards Li Huaixin.
There were two Tartar officials who were familiar with the territory of Beilu as guides, and they were also from Ye Busu, which made him very satisfied. It could be seen that Li Huaixin was not perfunctory.
Li Huaixin looked at the two Tartar officials and said with a serious expression: "You two, go out with Mr. Zhao to the border of Beibei and serve as guides for the Tiger Flag convoy."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Wen and Chen Wu knelt down on one knee at the same time and raised their fists towards Li Huaixin.
Li Huaixin said: "Get up and work for the Tiger Character Banner. You two will not be short of benefits."
Chen Wen and Chen Wu stood up and came to stand behind Zhao Yutu.
Zhao Yutu stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "If the convoy stays one more day, it will cost one more day. I won't disturb Mr. Li. I'll take my leave."
"That's fine. When Mr. Zhao comes back, I will host a banquet for Mr. Zhao in the mansion." Li Huaixin said with a smile.
"I will definitely bother Mr. Li then." Zhao Yutu bowed his hand.
"Easy to say." Li Huaixin said to the bodyguards beside him, "With my warrant, we will send the tiger-character flag convoy out of the customs."
In Xinpingbao, a few people may still sneak out of the Ming Dynasty and escape to the Beilu side. There are so many people in the tiger-shaped flag convoy, and there is no way to get out without the warrant of the general of the border fort.
The motorcade had been parked on the street in front of the General's Mansion. Zhao Yutu came out of the General's Mansion and said to the driver of the motorcade: "Let's set off and meet the cavalry outside the fort."
The driver turned the carriage around and drove along the street to Xinpingbao City Gate.
