"The purpose of the society must be as practical as possible. The most taboo thing is to be boundless and empty. The eight words "Those who violate the powerful Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away" may be because the clerk of the military office was so entangled by Du Chujiao that he could not help but copy it from that book." A smile appeared on Jin Changtai's face, "But it is appropriate to use it for us."

Zhao Xingde and Jin Changtai immediately joined the "Brothers of Volunteer and Braves". Du Chujiao was overjoyed and actually made two cents of silver in a panic. He gave them the "joining money" of the military mansion in advance.

"It's just that I can't find a place without any effort to get it." Zhao Xingde held a small silver horn and smiled, "Du Chujiao is also generous." He sighed again, "It's a pity that this wilderness is so wild, even if you have money, you can't buy wine and meat. Otherwise, the founding elders of our three brothers' associations should celebrate."

After cooking, it was almost dusk. The bloody setting sun gradually sinks from the mountains in the distance, leaving only the red glows all over the sky, the forests are dyed, and the world is covered with a layer of charming crimson. This scenery was originally very beautiful, but in the eyes of Zhao Xingde and Jin Changtai, there was a bit sad. The sultry food aroma came from the back kitchen of the village, and Zhao Xingde's stomach couldn't help but croak. The meal standards of his and Chengying Soldiers have been consistent with the Han army these days. He was hungry and refreshed after less than half an hour of eating a meal.

Jin Changtai smiled and said, "I heard that the girl Sinan who is helping the chef has a master of her famous flower." There are very few women in this village. Except for the relatives of more than a dozen capable generals in the village, the unbearable woman slapped her slaps out a single hand. Seeing that Sinan was about to be fourteen years old, many young men in the village were also full of thoughts and courage to inquire. Because Wang Hengzhi had asked Sinan to serve Zhao De, there were some rumors. Some people even said that in order to make a good relationship with Xia, Wang Hengzhi did not hesitate to give the orphans of the old brothers in the village to the Xia people as concubines.

Zhao Xingde was stunned and said embarrassedly: "This is a misunderstanding. I asked you to strengthen the guard post in my camp that day, for this." So he told me about the incident that night and sighed: "I am worried about tainting my reputation, so I didn't tell you, but I didn't expect it to be so different."

Jin Changtai nodded: "The couple is in love with each other, and I guess the same is true. But the rumors came suddenly, and perhaps someone was interested in fueling the fire. I have been thinking about which team did it for the past few days." He grinned, "There are more wolves in this village, and there is little meat, and they are all young and strong, and there is no place to vent their anger. Fortunately, they are not full. If they are full, there will be more things." As he spoke, he took out a beautiful and small silver wine pot, took a sip, and then sent it to Zhao Xingde.

Zhao Xingde took a sip, and a mellow smell of strong wine hit his forehead. He was surprised. You must know that the Han army could not even eat enough, and this wine was extremely scarce. He knew that Jin Changtai was a person, so he would not ask the Han army for wine to drink under the guise of Xia Jun Sima. "Is it possible that this is a good wine from Hanzhong?" Zhao Xingde speculated.

"It turns out that things are as good as a god." Jin Changtai smiled, "This is Xifeng wine in my hometown. This pot of wine is gone after drinking it." He took another big sip and handed the pot to Xingde. Zhao Xingde pushed and said, "Since you cherish the wine, then keep it for later."

Jin Changtai smiled faintly and said, "You must be happy in life. Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty. If you have flowers to be broken, you must be broken. Don't wait for the branches without flowers to be broken." He took another sip, his face looked gloomy, and then handed the wine pot to Xingde. Zhao Xingde knew that he had something to do in his heart, so he was not easy to refuse. He took it and took a sip, but did not hand it back to Jin Changtai, and asked, "You said that you would retire and do business as long as you have enough capital. Last time you joined Li Yong's caravan in Lumei, you got a lot of money, so why did you still come to this life of licking blood on the knife head?"

Jin Changtai's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment, and sighed, "This is the same as the same time. At that time, I thought that as long as I succeeded and made great fortune and had great power, I would have everything. Later I realized that in fact, those missed and destroyed things, even if there is more money, I can't buy them back." He had a hint of desolation in his tone. After a moment, his face became a little hideous again, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Like us, who are not from the eldest family, we will always come out to make a fortune. We can't earn a fortune under the age of thirty. But when you are working hard outside, you find that the miscellaneous people in the long house have occupied all the most precious things." A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

He snatched the wine pot from Zhao Xingde and took a sip. The intense alcohol choked Lian Sheng's cough and his face turned red. Zhao Xingde patted his shoulder and whispered: "When we become successful, I will accompany you to Hanzhong in the future and show off my life." Jin Changtai shook his head and said slowly: "If you miss something, you will miss it forever." He carefully covered the wine pot, stood up, and went back to the barracks with slight steps.

Zhao Xingde sighed. Even in a clear and bright place like the Xia Kingdom, unfair things were everywhere. Over the next ten days, Zhao Xingde and Wang Hengzhi discussed and chose a place called Fenghuang Mountain to set up a village for Chengying Camp on the southern foot of Taibai Mountain. This place was not far from the coast, so it was convenient to receive supplies from Chengying Seventh Battalion. It happened to be in a vacuum area where the forces of Khitan and Goryeo were intertwined. It turned out that there was a Sanyin City garrison of the Liao Kingdom. Because the Jurchens were powerful, the Liao people had already retracted their troops back to Kaizhou, and Goryeo had not had time to take over this place.

This Phoenix Mountain is well located and not far from iron ore production. It seems that Wang Hengzhi has indeed shown considerable sincerity in order to cooperate with Xia Guo Chengying Camp. No wonder some people have to spread rumors and maliciously slander him. Over the past month, Zhao Xingde remembered the agreement with Li Ruobing, asking Wang Hengzhi to send more Han army to hunt animal skins, dig ginseng, etc., to exchange for food and weapons with Song State. Sure enough, a messenger came over soon and said that the Song State ship would dock near Baozhou, unload the goods to the Jurchens first, and then unload the lost ones to the Han army.

Wang Hengzhi was overjoyed by the news and immediately lit up five hundred soldiers to follow Zhao Xingde to Baozhou to wait for the boat. This Zhao Captain not only represents the Xia Kingdom, but also has a great popularity in Song Kingdom. In Wang Hengzhi's mind, although Chengying Camp could not deal with the Han army in other camps, he was not idle. Wang Tongdeng and Ma Rui led the cavalry to investigate from all sides, and basically found out the reality of the Liao people. The Liao Kingdom basically set up key defenses along the north and south lines from the south to the Huanglong Mansion to Liaoyang. The areas east of this line closely guarded important cities, and the defense on the coast was almost gone. Because of this, the supplies to the Song Dynasty aid the Jurchens were unobstructed.

While receiving the food and grass, Zhao Xingde met Li Ruobing again, who was preparing to return to Song State, and also received news of Zhao You's death brought by the grain ship.

"Cai Jing's party is too domineering, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, it is inevitable that he will lose his power. However, although the officials were able to respect the wise and the wise and the officials were good at doing good things, they still couldn't see how to govern after adhering to the government. I heard that Tong Guan was still on duty in the imperial study. However, Zhao Zhifu was appointed as prime minister, Shao Wu was in charge of the Privy Council, and Mr. Huang was in charge of the Imperial College, and the officials were in charge of the Imperial College, and the treacherous party could not cover the sky with one hand." Li Ruobing looked around several times. Zhao Xingde's subordinates were all more than ten steps away, and could not hear the conversation between the two. He slowly said, "If there is still something to do in the government and the injustice is clear, will Xingzhi do his best for the people of Guandong?"

Zhao Xingde was stunned. He was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice: "I'm here to deal with the Khitan. The Jurchens are swearing to fight to the death. It's the people of the world." It was too late at this time, and many seabirds in the distance were returning to their nests. He looked at Li Ruobing with a sigh.

Li Ruobing no longer advised him, but only in a deep voice: "The newly established Liao emperor Yelu Dashi is a sinister and treacherous person. He can tolerate the most and makes a strange plan." At this time, Li Ruobing's expression was as usual. It was this Yelu Dashi that caused him to be sent to Qiongzhou from Bianliang innocently. Since then, he has been paying attention to this person. "In my opinion, his arrangement in Liaodong is to calmly control his movements. If he doesn't send it, he will be thunderous. The Jurchens now have a despise of him, but since he is dealing with him in Liaodong, he must not be too slight."

Zhao Xingde nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I'm just surprised that the Liao Kingdom claims to have hundreds of thousands of cavalry. Although it has experienced an internal strife, it is not powerless to fight back against the Jurchens. Why did Yelu Dashi knot the south and endure the Jurchens so much? Could it be that he wants to use troops to Xia Kingdom?"

Li Ruobing said in a deep voice: "Liaodong is his confidant place. If the Liao Kingdom wants to use troops, it will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. Although the Jurchens are in a violent rise, the Khitan has been established for more than two hundred years. In terms of national strength, it is still far stronger than the Jurchens. If the Liao Kingdom hastily launched troops, it is a chance for the Jurchens. Now Yelu Dashi is guarding the camp like this. Although he doesn't know what plans he has, once he starts, it will be even more difficult to deal with."

Zhao Xingde nodded and said yes. After the two said goodbye, they watched Li Ruobing jump onto the sampan and climb up the side of the boat along the gangway.

After the Han army soldiers next to him moved the food, grass and weapons, they brought bundles of animal skins, ginseng and other mountain goods onto the small boats placed on the Song Dynasty cargo ship. Wang Heng was thick and thin, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he was very generous in the number of goods. The actual amount of goods exchanged by the Song Dynasty's grain and grass was far higher than the smuggling income on the Song Dynasty's border.

The clerk who carried the goods to load the ship looked at the treasures of Liaodong. While counting points, he touched his lips and whispered his whispers, and smiled and said to himself: "If you exchange these mountain freights for sale, you will earn more than twice as much money as selling food and grass locally in Mizhou. This Li Chengzhi seems to be old-fashioned, but he is actually a very good person."
