Chapter 267 No wonder we encountered bandits

"Brother, sister, come and have breakfast." Wei Ming called out with an obedient look on his face.

Jiang Ruo waved to Wei Ming, and Wei Ming ran to her side.

She raised her hand and pinched Wei Ming's cheek, whispering, "A Ming, you can only enter this tent after your brother and sister leave, understand?"

Wei Ming glanced at the tent and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Jiang Ruo covered her lips and smiled, saying: "Because, my sister just cast a spell in there..."

Wei Ming believed it and said seriously, "Sister, I will tell my mother."

"So good!" Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin smiled at each other.

The woman looked at the three people who were mumbling to each other and said, "It's time for breakfast."

"Sister-in-law, we'll be there soon." Jiang Ruo took Wei Ming's little hand and walked towards the felt tent.

During the meal, several people ate breakfast in silence, without the cheerful atmosphere of the previous few days.

Hearing the noisy sounds outside, the woman was the first to break the silence. She put down the porcelain bowl in her hand, stood up and took two bundles.

"Sister, this is some beef jerky and cheese prepared by my mother and me. Please don't be disgusted." There was a hint of sob in her voice.

"Sister-in-law, it's too polite for you to say that. We won't mind." Jiang Ruo said as she swiftly took the two bundles and placed them on the table.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Chengjin and said, "Husband, please harness the carriage and go to the Khan to pay the money."

"Ruoruo, leave this matter to me." Xiao Chengjin nodded slightly and drank the rice porridge in the bowl.

Jiang Ruo smiled slyly and said to himself, "The silver in the box in the carriage should be enough."

After hearing these words, the woman immediately understood the meaning.

So, in the carriage placed in the straw hut, there was a box of...silver.

Sister, you two are so generous.

Fortunately, the carriage did not attract anyone's attention.

Jiang Ruo said: I put the box of silver in quietly before dawn.

.......

After Murong Hongyi finished his breakfast, he arranged for his subordinates to count the cattle and sheep, and told them to bring enough food and fodder.

After all, it takes about half a month to go back and forth.

After his subordinates received the order and left, he winked at Zhalezhen.

Zhalezhen immediately understood Murong Hongyi's meaning and took out the muscle softening powder from his arms and handed it to him.

"Prince Yi, this is something I managed to trick Doctor Hu into giving me. If you're worried, you can...try it."

Murong Hongyi: “…?”

Try it?

Is this guy stupid!

He raised his hand and patted Zha Lezhen's head, scolding him in a low voice: "This is a muscle softening powder, is it necessary to try it?"

Zhalezhen pretended to be frightened and took a step back, but he was actually secretly very happy.

Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have used fake medicine to fool Prince Yi.

Murong Hongyi put the medicine bag in his arms and ordered in a cold voice, "Go and lead this prince's Ferghana horse to the front and wait."

I can't wait to deal with Xiao Cheng.

"I obey your command!" After saying this, Zhalezhen turned and left.

Murong Hongyi laughed heartily a few times and walked out of the palace tent in high spirits.

After he arrived at Murong Chen's palace tent, he said confidently, "Father Khan, I promise to escort the Xiao couple to the Zhaoding Tower."

After Murong Chen drank the tea in the cup, he handed it to the maid serving beside him.

He looked up at Murong Hongyi and said, "Hongyi, you must build a good relationship with them. Maybe they will come to buy our cattle and sheep next year."

Upon hearing this, Murong Hongyi lowered his eyes and replied, "Don't worry, father. I won't let you down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard entered the tent and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Cheng is waiting outside with some silver. He said he wanted you to send someone to count the silver."

Upon hearing this, Murong Chen walked down from the throne with a look of shock on his face.

The Xiao couple actually carried so much silver when they went out, no wonder they encountered bandits.

Also, if they didn’t have silver, how could they buy cattle and sheep?

Murong Chen instructed the guard, "Please invite Young Master Xiao into the tent and have someone bring the box in."

"Send someone to the warehouse to call Selja!"

The guard said respectfully: "I obey your command!"

Murong Chen turned back to the throne and took the tea served by the maid.

Xiao Chengjin came into the tent under the guidance of the guards.

He cupped his hands and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Xiao Cheng greets the Khan."

"Mr. Xiao, there's no need to formality. Please take a seat!" Murong Chen's face lit up with joy when he saw the wooden box being carried by the guards behind him.

Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows, walked to the side and sat down.

"My husband and I have already prepared the silver according to the agreed price. You can send someone to count it."

Several guards carried the wooden box into the tent with grins on their faces and gently placed it on the carpet.

Upon hearing this, Murong Chen said with a pleasant face, "Young Master Xiao, please wait a moment. The warehouse manager will be here to take inventory soon."

Murong Chen instructed the maid beside him, "Come here, serve tea."

"As you command!"

Murong Hongyi looked at the wealthy Xiao Chengjin and cursed in his heart: Pretty boy, you actually carry so much silver with you when you go out, you deserve to be robbed by bandits.

After entering the tent, the warehouse manager, Sierjia, bowed to Murong Chen and said, "I pay my respects to the Khan."

"No need to be polite!"

Murong Chen looked at the wooden box below and said, "Siljia, go and count the silver."

"Yes, Khan."

Sierjia walked to the wooden box. The two guards standing on the side stepped forward and opened the wooden box with nimble hands and feet.

Xiao Chengjin said at the right moment: "Sir, there are four thousand taels of silver in the wooden box."

Sierjia nodded slightly and began to count the silver.

After counting, Sierjia saluted Murong Chen and said, "Khan, this amount of silver is just right."

Murong Chen nodded and said to Xiao Chengjin, "Master Xiao, the cattle, sheep, and fodder are ready. Let's get ready to set off!"

"This time, Hongyi will escort you back to the city."

Xiao Chengjin stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Khan. Xiao Cheng will take his leave!"

......

Everything was ready. Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin said goodbye to the woman and her son and drove away in a carriage.

Under the escort of Murong Hongyi and his subordinates, they left the Salo tribe in a mighty procession.

After the woman and Wei Ming rode their horses for a distance, she pulled the reins and watched them disappear from her sight.

"A Ming, let's go back!"

"Okay, mother."

Inside the carriage, Jiang Ruo was eating beef jerky, listening to the cries of cows and sheep outside, and chuckled.

Tonight, these cattle and sheep will be temporarily arranged in the back mountain of the space.

He kept a portion for himself and left the rest to his soldiers.

Haha, I came out with a lot of stuff.
