Tan Zaiwang is back. "

Lao Wu rushed outside the tent door and said to Zhang Sancha who was eating inside the tent.

Hearing this, Zhang Sancha jumped up, dropped the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, hurriedly came out of the tent, and asked eagerly: "Where are the people? Where are the people?"

"Follow me." Lao Wu said, and then walked ahead to lead the way.

Zhang Sancha followed closely, following step by step.

The two people walked around two tents and saw a fire in front of the third tent. Several riders with the Tiger Flag were sitting around eating. One of them was Tan Zaiwang who had just returned.

Zhang Sancha came to Tan Zaiwang in a few steps and said, "Wait while you eat, tell me how your work went?"

After saying this, he looked at Tan Zaiwang nervously, fearing that what the other party brought back would be bad news.

Lao Wu on the side looked around and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to you later."

Zhang Sancha glanced at the bowls and chopsticks in Tan Zaiwang's hand and said, "Yes, come to my place. There is everything to eat."

The three people left the fire and returned to Zhang Sanchang's tent.

Lao Wu said to the two Tiger Flag soldiers: "You two go guard outside and don't let anyone get close."

After the two soldiers went out, Zhang Sancha couldn't wait to ask: "What happened? What did the Mongolian general you went to see say?"

Tan Zaiwang held the bowls and chopsticks he had brought along the way and said, "I went to see Jamuka first, the Mongolian general we saw outside Guihua City. He took me to Qingcheng and met him. The big man from Tumut promised to let our Tiger Flag come to do business on the grassland."

Then, he told Zhang Sancha what he had said to Lao Wu.

After hearing this, Zhang Sancha said with a happy face: "This time, the tasks assigned to us by the master have finally been completed, and we can breathe a sigh of relief."

"You can't relax just yet, don't forget about the Fan family." Lao Wu reminded, "When Tan Zaiwang came back, he met the Mongolian general Wo Lunkuo from Guihua City. I believe the Fan family will know about Tan Zaiwang soon. It was sent back by people from Qingcheng. By then, it would not be difficult for Wang Qifu to think that we had a relationship with Qingcheng."

"That makes sense." Zhan Sancha said, "If you didn't remind me, I would have thought that we would take the convoy back to Datong at dawn tomorrow."

"Absolutely not." Lao Wu's expression changed and he said, "There are only a hundred people in total when we come to the grassland this time. If the Fan family persuades the Beibei to attack us, the Beibei are all cavalry and will not be able to wait for us to return. We can be intercepted and killed on the way to Datong. By then, not many of the more than 100 people from Tiger Flag will be able to return to Datong alive."

This almost means that except for a dozen riders in the cavalry, Zhang Sancha's squadron of warriors could not escape from the grassland at all.

Zhang Sancha's heart sank, he knew what Lao Wu said was reasonable.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The Fan family is really so bold that they dare to hook up with Beilu and attack us?"

Lao Wu said: "We Tiger Flags coming to the grassland to do business is equivalent to taking food from the Fan family's bowl. And don't forget that the Fan family's motorcade on the grassland was robbed by us before. This grudge, How could the Fan family forget?"

Zhang Sancha frowned and asked, "Then what do you think we should do? In short, we must tell the boss about Qingcheng's affairs."

Lao Wu thought for a while and said: "Since we came to the grassland with the Fan family, we will go back with the Fan family. Unless people like Wang Qifu want to die with us, he will have no choice but to return to Zhangjiakou honestly."

"I hear you, let's return to Zhangjiakou with the Fan family." Zhang Sancha said, "I have noticed in the past two days that the goods that the Fan family brought to the grassland have been cleared out. I think they will return to Zhangjiakou in the next two days. "

The two people agreed. At this time, Lao Wu looked at Tan Zaiwang who was holding the rice bowl and said with a smile: "There are broth and pancakes on the table. You can eat them too! I can see Captain Zhang's excitement and he is already full. No need to eat anymore.”

Tan Zaiwang felt that he was indeed not full, so he nodded, walked to the low table, sat down and ate the food on the low table.

Zhang Sancha picked up a piece of leather and placed it in front of Tan Zaiwang. Then he sat on it and said to Tan Zaiwang with a smile: "Eat, eat more. This time you have made a great contribution to our Tiger Flag."

……………………

In the yurt where the Fan family was resting, Wang Qifu received the news from Wo Lunkuo.

He personally sent away the Mongolian armored rider who delivered the message, and returned to the yurt with a dark face.

The Fan family guy on the side said: "I can't believe that the people from the Tiger Character Banner were so lucky that they could have a relationship with Kankantada Taiji from Qingcheng."

"This is something none of us expected." Wang Qifu's face was uncertain.

He thought that by bribing the Mongolian general Wo Lunkuo, he could prevent the Tiger Character Banner from getting involved with the Mongolian nobles in Guihua City. In fact, he did it, but what he didn't expect was that the Tiger Character Banner's Another strange thing happened, and he got into a relationship with a Taiji from Qingcheng.

The Fan family guy on the side said in a low voice: "Why don't we just keep doing it and kill all the people in the Tiger Banner on the grassland on the way back? Anyway, this is the territory of the Mongols, so if something goes wrong, it will happen." It’s not our fault.”

These words entered Wang Qifu's heart and made his eyes light up.

Leaving all the people in the Tiger Banner on the grassland, naturally no one can go back to deliver a message to Liu Heng. And based on their relationship with the Fan family and Wo Lunkuo, there shouldn't be much problem in borrowing some Mongolian armored soldiers.

When he thought about it again, he realized that it was not realistic.

Among the people who came to the grassland with Hu Ziqi this time, there was a cavalry team of more than ten people. If this cavalry team could not be left behind, Liu Heng would know what happened on the grassland in five or six days at most.

At the same time, he thought that the people who killed Hu Ziqi were too risky, and they might take his life as well, which was really not worth the gain.

He knew that he was just a shopkeeper of the Fan family, and there was no way he would lose his life for the Fan family's affairs.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate."

The Fan family guy looked at Wang Qifu in confusion.

Wang Qifu said: "The strength of these bodyguards sent by Tiger Character Banner to the Fan family's motorcade cannot be underestimated. They even carry cannons. You are not afraid that they will fight back at the last moment and treat us as backstops!"

Hearing this, the Fan family man who had just suggested taking action shrank his neck.

He is just a worker for the Fan family, so naturally he will not risk his life for the Fan family's affairs.

"Actually, this matter is not unsolvable." Wang Qifu said.

The Fan family guy looked up at him,

Just listen to Wang Qifu continue to say: "As long as the tiger-character flag falls and Liu Heng, the boss behind them, dies, let alone their relationship with Taiji in Qingcheng, it will be useless even if they get the personal promise of the Qingcheng Khan. .”

The Fan family clerk said in confusion: "I heard that the Tiger Flag is quite powerful in the Datong area. The Tiger Flag mule and horse team will come to Xuanfu every once in a while. Such a powerful big businessman, ordinary people It’s too late to fawn over, how can I offend you?”

"Who said Tiger Character Flag is a big business?" Wang Qifu said with a sneer on his lips, "With dirty foundation and guarding so much wealth, even our Fan family doesn't want Tiger Character Flag to continue to exist."

The Fan family guy didn't understand what Wang Qifu meant, but that didn't stop him from hearing something from the words and guessing that someone was going to deal with Tiger Flag.
