"Master Zhong!"
"Hey, Second Master Bai, please come in!"
As soon as the man with a mustache entered the room, Zhong Dahu immediately drove everyone inside out and asked them to close the door.
After the two of them sat down, the man with the mustache immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve:
"This is your share, sir."
"Thanks to your help this time, our company was able to ship the goods so quickly!"
Zhong Dahu touched it with his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly put it on his body, with a strange glow on his face:
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Master Bai!"
"However, things have been very tense recently. A while ago, a military minister came on an incognito visit. We should put our affairs aside for now."
"Besides, we just had a small battle with the Tartars, and they lost a lot of people. If we go out again, I'm afraid they will vent their anger on your company."
The Second Master Bai smiled and said, "Your Excellency is too modest. I believe you won a great victory. It seems you will be promoted soon. Congratulations!"
"No, no, I'm thankful that I wasn't withdrawn from this battle."
Zhong Dahu waved his hand.
"What's going on? You won the battle, but you still can't get promoted. How can this be justified? How about I ask my eldest brother to go to Lord Sun and say a few good words for you?"
The second-in-command Bai immediately looked indignant.
The Lord Sun he was talking about was the Guoyi Duwei of Shuozhou Zhechoufu and the deputy of Zhechou Duwei Yang Jian.
"Don't do that! Aren't you just causing trouble for Lord Sun? Things are a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain them all at once!"
"All in all, this battle really made a new recruit named Zhao Muyun from the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower under my command steal the show! I also got some credit for it, which is why I was able to keep my position as a centurion in the military garrison!"
Second Master Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this. "I didn't expect this to happen! This new recruit named Zhao Muyun must be incredibly powerful!"
"He was quite capable. He was a skilled archer and killed many Tartars, helping to break the siege. Before that, he and two of his companions beheaded three people."
"If the Tartars hadn't taken all the bodies away, the number of heads he'd taken would have been this high!"
Zhong Dahu spread out his ten fingers.
Second Chief Bai was horrified and feigned surprise, saying, "Your Excellency is a good leader, and you have many talented people under you. This is truly cause for celebration!"
"Second Master Bai, you probably wouldn't have guessed this! Not only is he a killer, he's also quite resourceful, even going so far as to bring down his immediate superior, Zhang Biao."
What!
The second leader Bai's expression changed slightly, and he felt ecstatic.
The Zhao Muyun mentioned by Zhong Dahu is most likely the person that Temur, the captain of the Northern Di Tartars, wanted him to investigate even if he was paid extra.
It must be because he killed many Tatars that Timur held a grudge against him.
I thought it would take some trouble, but it turned out to be effortless. I accidentally learned the name from Zhong Dahu.
As long as you have the name, the rest of the information can be found quickly.
It’s easy to make money from Timur!
However, a new recruit who has just joined the army has such ability.
As far as he knew, Zhang Biao was Zhong Dahu's close confidant, and the two of them had helped the Bai family smuggle contraband many times.
But unexpectedly, for Zhao Muyun, Zhang Biao was actually abandoned by Zhong Dahu.
"Where did Sergeant Zhang go? Who is the sergeant in Yanqingdun? There should be no problem with our hidden route in Heituo Mountain, right?" asked the second leader Bai.
He didn't dare ask too many questions about the new recruit.
After all, this soldier is from Dayin and is also a soldier of Zhong Dahu.
Moreover, it seems that Zhong Dahu seems to admire this soldier very much, and asking too many questions will arouse Zhong Dahu's suspicion.
He and Zhong Dahu smuggled salt and iron, which was also a dishonest act, but it was just for the sake of making money.
If Zhong Dahu knew that Bai Shouren was helping the Tartars to gather intelligence on the soldiers of Jingbian Military Town, the nature of the situation would change completely.
"Zhang Biao deserves his bad luck. He's been arrested and awaits dismissal and investigation."
Zhong Dahu didn't notice the change in Bai Erdang's expression, and warned Bai Erdang,
"But you shouldn't go through the secret passage in Black Camel Mountain next to the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower that leads to Beidi Canglang Lake!"
"From now on, if you go to Douziling Beacon Tower, I will greet Luo Shichang!"
Bai Erdang suddenly had an idea and pretended not to understand and asked, "Sir, why don't you take the secret passage to Black Camel Mountain?"
"This is a shortcut to Canglang Lake, and it's very hidden, no one will know about it."
Zhong Dahu rolled his eyes at Shopkeeper Bai and said, "The squad leader of the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower has been replaced. That Zhao Muyun is the new squad leader!"
"He just left! You should have bumped into him when you first came in."
"So he is Zhao Muyun! Why does he look unfamiliar to me? He is so young, but I didn't expect he has such abilities!" said the Second Bai in command in surprise.
"He's a stubborn guy. If you were to run into him, who knows what kind of trouble he'd cause. It's better not to go to Black Camel Mountain!"
"Don't worry, sir. Didn't you say things are tense these days? Then I won't go out!"
Bai Erdangjia got a lot of information he wanted and immediately stood up and said goodbye.
Zhong Dahu didn't see him off, but just happily counted the banknotes in the room.
.......
"Thank you!"
Zhao Muyun took Zhong Dahu's approval note and received thirty taels of silver, ten strong bows, and a bundle of arrows from the military town's quartermaster.
He first put away the silver, then tied the bow and arrows to the horse's back.
He quietly slipped a small ingot of silver to the quartermaster, who was surprised and thanked him, then led his horse away and headed for the blacksmith shop.
