If the third prince of the grassland ascended the throne of Khan with the help of the sixth prince, and the sixth prince finally won the throne of the Wei Dynasty, then wouldn't he, as a businessman, be the most important bridge?
One day, maybe he will also leave his name in history!
Also, with the merit of following the dragon, it would be very easy to kill the enemy. At that time, there would be no need to use the grassland as a retreat and go far away!
At this moment, his mind was extremely clear and he was extremely grateful to the Tai family.
The Tai family's fortune is truly unique in the world, and now it has once again benefited him, bringing him the noble Sixth Prince.
Of course, whether he can take on this huge wealth depends on his ability!
Chen Zhao took a deep breath, stood up and saluted solemnly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Chen Zhao understands. This trip will be a success!"
The Sixth Prince was very satisfied with Chen Zhao's clarity. This was the best thing about dealing with smart people. You didn't have to say too much and the other party would understand clearly.
Looking at Tai Jiye on the side, he is indeed much worse than Chen Zhao.
But for him, it made him feel more at ease. There were many smart people in the world, but the Tai family was the only honest person who treated him sincerely and treated him like a family member!
The three of them had a quick bite to eat and drink, then packed some goodies for the boys and went their separate ways.
After resting for a night, the convoy finally left the border and headed towards the grassland.
He Xiong was unable to come and see them off, but Tai Yongan and his team did come. They escorted the convoy for more than ten miles before reluctantly returning to the camp.
When the sky darkened again, the general finally brought his men back. He Xiong was the first to greet them, personally helped the general change his armor, and then brought him hot tea.
The general was a good general who led by example, never slacking off even in his high position. Normally, patrolling the camps was too strenuous. He had to cover all twenty outposts along the border, a distance of two hundred miles. In such winter weather, the cold and exhaustion involved were unbearable for most people.
But in order to stay informed and to encourage the soldiers stationed outside, the general would go there almost every month.
He drank half a pot of hot tea in one breath, and finally he felt relieved from the coldness all over his body. Then he couldn't wait to ask, "Are you serious about what you said in the letter?"
He Xiong quickly responded, "General, rest assured. Everything I say is true. This morning, the third son of the Tai family and Shopkeeper Chen set off for the grasslands, accompanied by the Sixth Prince's twenty guards, doctors, and medicinal herbs. I just wonder what the situation is like in the southern part of the grasslands?"
"It's possible that by the time they arrived, the Khan had already passed away, and the grasslands were in turmoil, putting their group in great danger. It's also possible that by the time they arrived, the Khan was still alive, but refused to trust our doctors and refused to treat them...
"In short, there are too many variables!"
He Xiong was a little worried and added, "We can only hope that they are lucky enough to find the Khan still alive when they arrive at the royal court, and help the Third Prince ascend the throne smoothly. I see that the Sixth Prince has the same plan. After all, the power of the grassland has been smoothly transferred, and the new Khan has a certain sense of support for him. It will be beneficial for the two countries to have peaceful trade in the future.
"The most important thing is that the Luosha are too restless, and there's always a chance of chaos. If a war breaks out, it would be even better if the grasslands could send troops to attack from both sides. Even if they don't, protecting our border from being attacked from both sides would be a huge help."
The general nodded. He had already thought about it carefully before he set off.
"It would be best if the Sixth Prince came forward and sent someone. If he were discovered, he could use the excuse of protecting his relatives. However, our border troops absolutely cannot do this, at least not openly. Otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos would ensue in the court, disrupting the peace at the border."
After saying this, he thought of the Tai family, his expression was somewhat complicated, and he smiled helplessly, "The Tai family's luck...anyone they recognize as a relative will become the prince of the current dynasty, and any child they save will have their uncle and the grassland prince have a life-long friendship.
"I can only hope that this time they continue this good fortune and return safely, bringing blessings to our borderlands, forming an alliance on the grasslands, and jointly resisting the Rakshasas. The Sixth Prince wants military merit and the throne, while I only want to protect the people of Great Wei with minimal casualties when the war breaks out."
"Don't worry, General. Although I was a little worried before, everything in the army has been going in a good direction this year, and you will definitely get what you want in the future." He Xiong said this not to comfort the general, but he really thought so.
It seems that since I found Uncle Tai, everything has been getting better and better...
In Taijia Village, everyone has been busy since the caravan left.
Because at the beginning, Wu Jiazhuang only needed a garden, so the villagers spent a whole day collecting ten carts of ice.
Of course, the small ditch outside the village will not produce large blocks of ice, so you have to go to the river north of Tai'an.
The Tai family was busy going in and out of the city gate, and they were inevitably discovered by idle people, so discussions ensued.
"Whose carriages are these? How many times have they been going in and out? They look very familiar to the soldiers guarding the gate." In a small teahouse near the city gate, a tea drinker with his hands in his pockets was talking about something new with an acquaintance.
The acquaintance took a look and was curious, so he called the waiter and gave him a tip of three or five cents. The waiter then started talking with a smile.
"This is the Tai family's ice truck. I heard they're making ice lanterns for Mr. Wu's family! Everyone was so happy to hear about it. Last year, it made our county town lively and beautiful. It was so much brighter on our way home at night. It felt like everything was warmer with a little light!"
The two tea drinkers also laughed and responded.
"Yes, I remember there were two big lions in front of the government office. They were very well carved."
"And the Min family's Lantern Festival was a big hit. I didn't expect them to prepare so early this year. I thought they wouldn't start until the twelfth lunar month. After all, the best time to enjoy lanterns is during the Lantern Festival after the Lunar New Year!"
When the other tea drinkers heard this, they also rushed to the door to watch the fun. Some people saw that the trouser legs and shoes of the Taijia Village people transporting ice were soaked, and they couldn't help but speak up for it.
"Making ice lanterns is such a daunting job, not everyone can do it."
"Yes, the Tai family is well-known for their honesty and their demands are not high. Last year, those wealthy families were very satisfied, and I'm afraid they will still need the Tai family this year."
"That's hard to say!" Some people also had different opinions and responded ambiguously. When questioned, they refused to tell the truth.
In this way, the Tai family was busy for three or four days, and the Wu family's garden was filled with flying ice chips every day, and everyone in the city knew about it.
Manager Min runs the dim sum shop every day, comes into contact with many customers, and hears a lot of news.
One evening, after he finished his chores in the shop, he found the small courtyard at the back.
These days, if the Tai family members who are working miss the time to leave the city, they will stay here.
It was fine for others, but Yongning and Yongfeng were overjoyed, because in the past it was just them and it was really deserted. Now that the clan members came and went frequently, the courtyard was much more lively.
Coincidentally, the old man also came with Zhuzhu to take charge that day. When he saw Manager Min coming, he called him into the house for tea.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Manager Min said was, "Uncle, things are not looking good. Here comes someone who wants to steal our business!"
