The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 63 Chapter 63
When everyone came to the restaurant, they saw that the dumplings had already been set up on the table. Duan Yanqing greeted everyone and said, "Come and eat, today's dumplings are vegetarian dumplings, but these dumplings are stuffed with three kinds of high-quality vegetables." !

Try it, it contains garlic, leeks, and cabbage.There are too many sesame oils in it, one bite is full of aroma! "

The five people sat down at the table, and immediately picked up the bowls and ate them all. After everyone had eaten a bowl, the Tieniu remembered to say hello to Duan Yanqing.

"Uncle, you can also sit down and eat, you can eat a piece."

Duan Yanqing shook his head after hearing this.

"Tie Niu, it's better for you to eat first. You still have things to do when you are full. It doesn't matter if we eat early or late. We have nothing to do now."

While eating the dumplings, several people praised how delicious the dumplings were. After lunch, the five of them immediately went back to the yard of the cowshed.

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changhao and the three of them and said with a smile: "Three brothers, practice the martial arts you have learned? Let me see how your martial arts are doing now?"

Duan Changqing said with a smile: "Let me practice the drill first, everyone, keep your eyes open."

Duan Changqing took out Duan Wuji's big stick and started to practice immediately, only to see the big stick whistling in the wind, a big stick was danced by Duan Changqing like a spinning wheel, after practicing for a long time, Duan Changqing stopped the move suddenly, and stopped immediately.

Then, Duan Changqing practiced his sword skills again.After refining the sword, Duan Changqing picked up the bow and arrow again.Duan Changqing drew his bow and let his arrow shoot at a pillar of Shuan Niu.

There was a snap, and an arrow with carved feathers was just nailed to the pillar.

Duan Changqing shot three arrows in a row, and the arrows were all nailed to the pillar.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu immediately applauded when they saw each other.

"Well, good! Good practice."

Then, Duan Changhao began to practice. Duan Changhao's martial arts practice was also good, but in terms of archery, Duan Changhao shot three arrows and only hit two arrows.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Changhao, you have to work harder, your skill is somewhat weak."

Duan Changhao nodded embarrassedly.

"Brother, don't worry, I will work hard."

Finally, Duan Changhong practiced martial arts, and Duan Changhong's martial arts were not much different from Duan Changhao.

Three arrows also hit two arrows.

After the martial arts practice, Duan Wuji said to several people: "Let's rest for another three days, and we will start on time on the fifth day of the lunar new year. I hope you will deal with some things around you these few days, and prepare all the things you need to go out.

Okay, let's stop here today, if there is nothing else, let's take a break.

We set off on time on the morning of the fifth day of the fifth day, I hope everyone will not delay. "

Several people left after hearing this.

In the following three days, Duan Wuji practiced martial arts day and night, and he was tired and sweaty every day.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Duan Wuji got up early, packed his luggage, and then rode a horse straight to Duanjiaji.When I got to the avenue, I saw Tieniu and the others waiting for me on the avenue.

The brothers looked at each other and smiled, then hit the horse and ran straight to the Beiguan of Taiyuan City and ran down.

Come to the gate of Chai Mansion.

Tie Niu ran up the steps and bowed his hands at the gatekeeper.

"Happy New Years, everyone.

Today we are here again to find Brother Chai Shao, which one of you will go in and report? "

A gatekeeper saw it and said with a smile: "You guys wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

Saying that, the gatekeeper immediately ran in.

Not too long, Chai Shao hurried out of the mansion.

"Brothers, it's really early for you to come today! Let's go, let's have some tea before we enter the mansion."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, happy new year, let's stop drinking tea today, our family should make arrangements to load the goods first, and when everything is ready, we can leave early tomorrow morning. "

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Well, brother, what you said is also reasonable, okay, then let's do it like this.

You wait here for a while, I'll go and call out all the people I'm looking for.

Get to know each other. "

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao turned around and entered the Chai Mansion. After a short time, Chai Shao led fifteen people out.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Wuji, this time I decided to recruit a few more people, don't worry, these people are all-rounders with one top ten, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts.

These people are warriors selected by my father and me from tens of thousands of people. They are all loyal and trustworthy. "

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Well, it's better to have more people, and it's safer on the road.

I guess your father must be worried about your safety, right?I want to send a few more people to protect you. "

Chai Shao laughed loudly after hearing this: "Brother, can you tell a fortune teller? Why? Can you even calculate this?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, I don't know how to count, but I can guess."

Chai Shao said with a smile: "I have already made it clear to these people, this time we go out with us, all actions are under command, and each person can earn us 15 taels of silver after this trip, brother, do you think this is feasible? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, you can say nothing about such trivial matters, do you still need to discuss it with me?
Hey, Brother Chai, let the janitor lead these horses to the barn, let’s go, let’s load on foot. "

Without Chai Shao speaking, a few gatekeepers led the horses away.

This group of people came to the cloth shop on foot, and within a short time, several carriages drove over. The owner of the carriage drove the carriage to the door of the cloth shop, and the shop assistants loaded the goods together with the twenty or so people.

The time is not too long, and the goods are loaded.

The cloth filled six carriages.After loading the cloth, Chai Shao ordered the owner of the car to drive the vehicles back to the chariot and horse shop.

Then a group of dozens of people came to the tea shop again. When the boss of the tea shop saw the crowd coming, he ran back and forth to take care of them.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Everyone, you must be careful when loading the goods. Don't touch the tea leaves. If they are broken, they won't be worth much."

In a short time, two horses rushed over, and everyone hurriedly loaded the tea into the carriage, and then the carriage owner drove the carriage to the carriage and horse shop.

Boss Niu of the tea shop said with a smile: "Wuji, I wish you all the best for this business, and we will cooperate next time."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, good. Boss Niu, hurry up and organize the supply. We will be back in 30 days. Let's meet again then."

"Okay, okay! I'm waiting for your good news!"

Duan Wuji cupped his hands at Boss Niu.

"Brother, let's take our leave, let's meet again next time."

Chai Shao led the crowd back and said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, the cost of this carriage is 50 taels of silver, no one would take the risk if it is less.

Brother, this price is not expensive, right? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, aren't you good at doing business? If you don't get rich this time, it's really unreasonable.

Hey, Brother Chai, there is nothing else to do now, let's go, take the brothers to the restaurant, I treat you brothers today. "

Chai Shao laughed and said: "I think it's better to forget it, we don't dare to say whether our business is losing money or not, let's eat and drink when we make money.

I think we should go to Chai Mansion with me for a while today and forget about it. I have already prepared a banquet in the mansion.

Brother, all the business is entrusted to you this time, you have to take care of it carefully.Brother, to be honest, we can afford this business, but we can't afford it! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Brother Chai, I know about this, maybe you don't mind paying a few thousand taels of silver, but if we lose this little bit of silver, our family will have to pay for food in the future."

Chai Shao smiled wryly after hearing this: "Brother, don't give me too high a hat, who said I won't pay a few thousand taels?

Brother, you may not know that the 5000 taels of silver is also my entire family property. If I lose all of it, then I will not be much better than you.

Well, let's not mention these depressing words, let's discuss our walking route tomorrow. "

A group of people walked into Chai's mansion, Chai Shao first led them into a hall, Chai Shao waved to the outside.

After a short time, the chef brought up the prepared meals.

Duan Wuji took a look.

"Hey, today's food is quite rich, with a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, but there is no wine."

Chai Shao looked at the crowd and said: "During this period of business, no one is allowed to drink alcohol, so as not to cause trouble after drinking, of course, this includes me.

Ladies and gentlemen, today I announce that in this business, Wuji will be the main one, and I will be the assistant. Everyone must obey Wuji's orders, and no one should disobey them.

If anyone can't accept this, it's not too late to quit now. "

Everyone nodded.

"Young master, don't worry, it's enough to have your words. We will definitely act and obey orders, and we will definitely obey orders."

"Well, that's good.

Then let's have dinner, let's take a good rest after eating, and strive to leave on time tomorrow. "

After eating, Chai Shao immediately ordered someone to lead everyone to the guest room to rest.

In the morning of the next day, everyone had a hasty breakfast, and then everyone packed up their luggage. Afterwards, Chai Shao led the crowd to the chariot and horse shop, and they walked down to the north with eight carts.

Along the way, everyone was careful, eating and drinking when they were hungry, and staying overnight when they were hungry. It took more than one day for everyone to leave Datong Mansion and head straight for the Great Wall in the north.
