Since the time travel, this has been the most comfortable day Cao Ang has lived. He got up with the soldiers in the morning, practiced morning, handled some military and political affairs in the morning, read books in the afternoon, and met with the generals in the evening to summarize the gains and losses in the daytime training. Although it is hard, you don’t have to worry about it, which is very comfortable.

However, for time travelers, happy days are always short. Early this morning, news came from the secret spies sent by Cao Hong, and news came from the Wei family in Hedong that they were willing to exchange coarse salt from the salt pond for corn and grain from Hanoi County.

Although the price of food remains high, the price of salt has been rising continuously due to war recently, and its value is stronger than that of Wuzhu coins! Even if you resell salt to the Central Plains, this transaction is very profitable. However, the Wei family also proposed a condition that it must be interviewed with the leader of the Cao family army, otherwise everything will be free of negotiation!

Li Su frowned and asked, "Why do we ask our leader to interview them? Do they have any conspiracy?"

Cao Hong frowned, thought carefully for a while, and then whispered: "Based on the information sent by the spies, the Wei family has just occupied Dongyuan. I guess they want to show us the strength of the Wei family and hope to get more benefits from the negotiations."

Cao Ang looked at the map and said that Dongyuan was on the road from Yanchi to Jiguan. After the Wei family occupied Dongyuan, the salt from the Yanchi could be transported directly to Jiguan. There was no need to pay heavy taxes in the middle. The cost price of coarse salt suddenly decreased, and everyone had more profits to earn!

So Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "General Li Su, look, how about I go to discuss with the Wei family in person? Anyway, I have nothing to do during this period and I am relatively idle. Our military camp has a certain scale now. It is estimated that we can obtain a large amount of food in the autumn. We can take out a part of it and exchange materials with Hedong County. Especially the war horses in Hedong County, whether we use it for our own use or sell it to the Central Plains, there is a lot of profit margin!"

Li Su still shook his head repeatedly, "Lord is not suitable, it's too rash."

Cao Hong felt that it was not a big deal and whispered: "If you want to go out for a break, it's not impossible. So, I'll negotiate with the Wei family. Lord, you can dress up as a guy in the caravan. With your current height, you will say that you are sixteen or seventeen years old, and people will not doubt it.

In this way, the lord can not only give me some advice, but also bring people to quietly investigate the terrain of Hedong County, which should not attract people's doubts."

Cao Ang nodded repeatedly, "This method is good, General Li Su, what do you think?"

Li Su shook his head repeatedly, "Lord, I think it's inappropriate. Think about it last time, we made budget arrangements in advance and led thousands of elite soldiers to attack Xingyang. As a result, the damage was severe, and General Han Hao was even killed on the spot. Now you want to visit again in a low manner, I think it's inappropriate."

Cao Hong felt that the status of a military general is getting higher and higher now, but he doesn’t have many outstanding places in his financial management, and his status is getting lower and lower. Now he has finally had a chance to show up, so how can he let it go easily?

He quickly retorted: "What's wrong with this? The situation in Hedong County has stabilized, and the Wei family has occupied the territory along the line. A few horse bandits and thieves are not our opponents at all. Moreover, when we go here, we can go openly as the envoy of the Hanoi County. We can get the cover and support of the Wei family's armed forces along the way. I don't think there is any danger at all! Please rest assured!"

Li Su frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master, please don't mislead your lord with your own personal selfishness. Your lord's safety is the first priority now!"

Cao Hong also said angrily: "The lord's safety is certainly the first priority, but the lord is not the flowers raised in the house. It is always good to go out and see more!"

The two people's voices became louder and louder. Seeing that their faces became redder and Cao Hong's face turned into a pig's liver, Cao Ang hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Cao Zhubo, you are responsible for forming a caravan and preparing the corresponding goods, and the scale is controlled to be around a hundred people. I will draw a team of cavalry as a guard and go with me. Li joins the army, our cavalry battalion needs an opportunity to train. You make a detailed plan and avoid the sight of the Wei family. Maybe they can also become a wonderful move to force the Wei family to make concessions!"

Li Su looked at Cao Hong with a blushing face and looked at Cao Ang who was determined to calm the matter, and could only sigh helplessly and agree.

...

At the same time, in the city of Anyi, the Wei family mansion.

In the back garden, most of the high-quality sandalwood had been burned, but Cai Yan's hands were still on the strings and there was no movement.

The maid Cai Qian, who was dowry, whispered: "Miss, you can't continue like this anymore. You have lost a lot of weight this month. If the master knew about it, he would think that we servants did not serve you well!"

Cai Yan was only seventeen years old at this time. She sighed and said to Cai Qian: "My husband's condition has not improved at all, how can I continue to eat?"

Cai Qian looked around and saw that there were only Cai Yan and her in the pavilion, so she whispered: "Miss, you are too honest. You two have not yet fulfilled your family, nor have you worshipped the world. What kind of husband is Wei Zhongdao? The Wei family is too bullying and hastily welcomed us over just to cheer us up! Wei Zhongdao is seriously ill now and can't stand up at all. He doesn't even have the strength to worship. They are bullying people! Our Cai family is also a famous and surnamed family in the Han Dynasty. How can we bear such humiliation? Miss, please write a letter to the master and ask him to send someone to take us back."

Cai Yan shook her head gently, tears in her eyes. She whispered: "Dad was enforced by Dong Zhuo, and his reputation was tainted. Now he has been forced to move to Chang'an. There is no news at all, and I still don't know..."

Speaking of the sadness, Cai Yan couldn't help but shed tears. Cai Qian whispered: "Miss, you will feel comfortable when you cry, cry..."

While persuading, Cai Qian also shed tears.

At this moment, a middle-aged man strode into the pavilion. The inferior sachets on his body emitted a strong fragrance, which made the pavilion whiter and more vulgar.

I saw the man saluting Cai Yan and asked with a smile: "It turns out it's a girl from the Cai family. Who bullies you? My brother Wei Gu avenges you! As long as you call me a brother..."

While speaking, Wei Gu reached out his hand with a lustful look and leaned over Cai Yan's hand.

Cai Yan had never seen Brother Pig with a look on his face. He quickly retracted his hand. Wei Gu grabbed the strings and made a random sound.

He hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Gu smiled and said, "Mistress of Cai, don't think that Wei Zhongdao is the legitimate son of the Wei family, but he has been a sick person since he was a child. Even if he gets married, it is just a decoration. Look at me again, he has a strong capital. The kiln sisters in the entire city of Anyi praise me for being good at it, and they are scrambling to give me sachets! Anyway, your father is trapped in Chang'an City, and there is no news; after Wei Zhongdao returns to heaven, you can follow me!"

While talking, Wei Gu moved forward.

Cai Yan quickly stood up, avoided behind Cai Qian, and said angrily: "Prince Wei, please respect yourself! Although Zhongdao has not married me, we are also those who exchange birthday invitations. I am also a member of the Wei family. Please respect yourself!"

Looking at the delicate and shy Cai Yan's face, Wei Gu felt his lower body swollen and swelling. He smiled and said, "Girl, I am at least a servant of our Hedong County, and a well-known figure in our city of Anyi. Girl, consider me..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone coughing not far away. Wei Gu quickly put away his hippie smile and said in a deep voice: "My brother and sister, Zhongdao's illness has not improved, don't be too sad..."

Speaking of this, he pretended to be careless and raised his head, bowed and said, "Brother, why are you here? I am trying to persuade my younger brother and sister to make her feel more open-minded. Since you are here, please help me persuade my younger brother and sister. I will go to the county magistrate's mansion first, and there is still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with!"

Wei Gu hurriedly left, Wei Ji walked in and whispered: "His he coming to harass you again?"

Cai Yan lowered her head, but shed tears secretly.

Wei Ji sighed, "My younger brother is so unsatisfactory. But you must also be self-disciplined and don't always wander around in front of outsiders! Although you have never had a wedding invitation with Zhongdao, you two have exchanged wedding invitations. From a legal perspective, you are also our Wei family, so you must respect yourself!"

Cai Yan kept crying when he heard this, but Cai Qian couldn't help but question: "I haven't heard of such a truth. It was clearly because he had come to tease my lady several times. You didn't ask him, but you came to ask us! We hid and hid, avoided and hid, but he was always your husband of the Wei family. We lived in the Wei Mansion, so where could we avoid it?"

Wei Ji frowned and said angrily: "Too much! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson about our Wei family! If you show off your quarrels, I'll find someone to sell you! Once you enter our Wei family, you have to abide by the rules of our Wei family!"

When Wei Ji was frightened, Cai Qian was so scared that she was trembling. Cai Yan wiped her swollen eyes and said in a deep voice: "Your husband, don't scare Qian'er. She is my servant of the Cai family. Even if I followed me to Anyi, she was still a member of the Cai family. I have never heard of it. The person who has all the household registration documents in my Cai family has become a servant of the Wei family for no reason!"

Wei Ji frowned slightly and looked at Cai Yan, who had always been weak in surprise. He is worthy of being a woman from the Cai family, with a soft outside and a strong inside, and has a bit of character.

He sighed and whispered: "I hope you understand the difficulties of our Cai family. Let's do this. I'll arrange for someone to send you to Dongyuan to relax tomorrow and avoid Wei Gu. I'll delay it for a few days. When Zhongdao's illness is cured, you will get married to Zhongdao. At that time, Wei Gu will not come to harass you again!"
