Chapter 465 Inn

Chen Xiaolai did not leave because of Gao Senqi's clear statement. As an envoy and as the current representative of Yunzhou, he knew clearly that if he was sent out like this, their plans would not be fully completed. In Chen Xiao's view, Yunzhou would protect all those who really devoted themselves to Yunzhou, and the news was not clear enough.

"There are many people in your Flying Tiger Camp... Of course, the corpses fell into our hands. We have already collected them with honor. But it is useless to keep them there, otherwise we can exchange them with you. It is not easy to exchange for dead people, which is not easy to lose. It is great to exchange for two corpses for one living person, right?" This is what Chen Xiao said the next day.

"Aren't you just afraid that you will be unable to bear the face by handing over the Ding family to Yunzhou? Don't worry, as soon as we get the Ding family, we will send them directly to the northern grasslands, and there will be no news at all. This is OK, right?" This is the third day.

On the fourth day, Chen Xiaolai said: "Oh, how can you lower yourself to the level of the kidnappers? Okay, okay, it's not okay for us to pay the ransom. Tell me, how much does it cost?"

Day 5. "No money? That's easy to deal with. How can you hand over the people to us? You can just make a name for yourself. Then... we can talk again. Although I don't dare to do too much, I am the adjutant of Zhengluo Ye and the plenipotentiary representative, and I can still speak."

Day 6. "Or, I'll exchange it for the Xilin Valley? Of course I know that it's a buffer zone, and there are no people inside. I mean, we officially hand over the jurisdiction of the Xilin Valley to you, and the buffer zone will retreat to Benmajian. This is a great sacrifice, okay? What a good place in Xilin Valley."

In addition to put forward various fantastic plans every day and trying every means to exchange the people of the Weining Ding family back, Chen Xiaolai also used various methods to convey his meaning of "being sure to win". Since he was a military envoy, he did not carry a lot of gifts for public relations, but... he had the payment receipts of the 100,000 taels of Yunzhou Bank, Qihai Trading Company and Jiuzhou Trading Company that Ye Tao gave him. When he first started to stuff money, the generals of the Western Army did not dare to accept it, and then Gao Senqi spoke. But when Chen Xiaolai spent money like water, he found all kinds of people to help him speak, the news immediately spread. Chen Xiaolai stayed in Dalun Mountain for ten days

At that time, the news that Yunzhou was actively seeking to rescue the people of the Weining Ding family had spread throughout the entire jurisdiction of the Western Route Army, and even reached the east. Gao Senqi finally became a little angry and expelled Chen Xiaolai when he stayed in Dalun Mountain for sixteen days. Chen Xiaolai, who was expelled, was not depressed or depressed at all. He shrugged casually, took off the envoy's custom-made long gown with good texture, and changed into the full set of military uniforms of the guard camp that had been placed in the box. Only the collar and epaulette were different. He was wearing the Ye family's emblem, which means that as Ye Tao's adjutant, the only ones that needed service and loyalty were the Ye Tao and the Ye family, and there was nothing else.

Chen Xiaolai left with a smile, his expression looked more like a soldier who had completed an impossible task and returned to the team successfully.

After Chen Xiaolai's disturbance, although the two sides did not reach any agreement, the confrontation between the two sides could not be maintained, and everyone dealt with it coldly. Both sides simultaneously lowered the alert to the previous level, but neither the Northern Liao or Yunzhou had allowed these temporary mobilized troops to return to their original garrisons, but gathered and trained in several relatively close military camps. Everyone knows that the war is not far away, and the confrontation formed by Chen Xiaolai's disturbance will soon erupt due to other reasons and the irreconcilable contradictions on both sides. And then, there will be no chance to stop.

The reason why Yunzhou did not attack immediately was because of Tan Xiaopei. When he found that the war was suddenly so much ahead of Ye Tao's original plan, he immediately ordered the entire Blood Qi army to advance north and go to Gondor to listen. As a result, under Zou Shuangwen's strict order, the entire Blood Qi army set off the entire army the next afternoon, leaving only the new recruits who joined the Blood Qi army this year, equivalent to one battalion of troops. About 1,700 people left the elite veterans who were instructors and some auxiliary soldiers who were in the camp after retirement from the Blood Qi army. Because the logistics system of Yunzhou can be fully in line with the needs of the Blood Qi army, and because the Blood Qi army often had long-distance marching training to and from a certain place in Yunzhou, everyone was familiar with the road and carried rations for twenty days before setting off. The Tianxuan Army and the Imperial Army were also preparing urgently.

At the right time, they will also be in combat one after another. The imperial guards began to secretly enter a standby state, and Chi Yun went to Zhenbei Pass as soon as possible to contact Xue Yuan and others, communicate various military information, and be ready to attack at any time. Although the Tianxuan Army returned to the base after the battle against Bei Liao, they also began to prepare for it at this moment. With Qiu Haohui's character, the Tianxuan Army can use all its strength to launch a fatal blow at any time. The Tianxuan Army is now stronger than before due to its different status. Not only has it maintained its original advantage in the infantry troops, it has the most powerful heavy infantry troops in all Dongping, but it also has the cavalry troops of four battalions, and it has the ability to force the enemy to fight with him. In fact, the Tianxuan Army is the most suitable unit for fighting and decisive battles in the entire Dongping.

And under this undercurrent, it was actually in the buffer zones of Yunzhou and Beiliao.

Longmen Inn is a small inn in the buffer zone that is actually supported by Yunzhou. On the long border line where both sides hand over, there are two channels north and south. It is not a port agreed upon by both parties, but a channel that both parties have tacitly left for business travelers and travelers through. Longmen Inn is a must-pass route in the northern passage. The merchants in the buffer zone are not just Longmen Inn. In fact, there are all kinds of services related to travel, including Yima Station, cargo stand, and even shops that supply various travels with portable dry food and utensils, as well as carry-on weapons. In fact, each store has some background. Of course, seeking wealth in this confrontation between the two armies seems a bit dangerous, but the profits are really coveted. In Beiliao or Yunzhou, generally a night's accommodation fee plus a few good meals,

It's only one tael of silver, which is a relatively good inn. At Longmen Inn, a bowl of very light tea is one tael of silver... Fortunately, it can be refilled with unlimited boiling water. A relatively simple room, five taels of silver at night. What makes it hard for people who run inns in other places to imagine is that no matter who the guests coming to Longmen Inn are, they will pay prepay or pay first. If you want to leave the store, there is no door. There are also many tricks here. Although Longmen Inn is in the center of the buffer zone and seems neutral, the troops of both sides will come to check at any time, and they will also come to do their homework in advance because of pursuing fugitives or preventing certain "spy" and "dangerous people" from entering their territory. However, those who open inns cannot refuse customers because of these, but it is not convenient to ask the troops of both sides to pay first when they are arrested.

The most surprising thing is not this, but the owner of Longmen Inn, who is actually a woman. This charming woman looks like she is about 30 years old and has very good skills. At least, no one who wants to take advantage of her at the moment has been able to get a good person. This woman is named Jin Xiangyu.

In fact, this boss's wife Jin Xiangyu is already forty-seven years old, and she is good at maintaining her beauty. She is the senior sister of Liu Yong's wife Cao Mo. Her kung fu is much more solid than Cao Mo. Although there is a gap between Liu Yong, she is not far from that of Liu Yong. If it weren't for her fearlessness and her nature likes danger, she could easily be with women like Zhuo Xiu or Tan Weixin. She has really done it. She stayed with Zhuo Xiu for a month... Zhuo Xiu never left the palace. I thought it would be better to be with Tan Weixin, but I didn't expect that although Tan Weixin often ran around, she flew around, even if others had the courage to be brave, she still had one wing.

Later, when Ye Tao talked to her about the creativity of the Longmen Inn, she immediately agreed and came excitedly. In fact, this errand did not disappoint her. In name, this private inn opened and neutral inn must survive between the two armies. The Yunzhou military did not know that the Longmen Inn was actually its own person, but the intelligence bureau and the inner government were often assigned by Ye Tao to ask about her needs and provide various possible help. During her days when she was hosting the Longmen Inn, she had already solved many spies, thieves and outlaws, and also provided a lot of help to some simple business travelers. Merchants who often walked through the northern passage might not know when, where and price the next transaction would be, but they would never know that Longmen Inn had a beautiful boss Jin Xiangyu.

For a while, what Jin Xiangyu couldn't understand was that Ye Tao actually stuffed her a man, a barbarian... The guy found it in a dungeon of a village while attacking the sand thief. This guy didn't know where the dialect, and spoke tribal language on the northern grassland, and could only use simple words to make up the meaning. Jin Xiangyu didn't understand what Ye Tao meant to come like this. In fact, now, she just felt that such a good knife-using player had come again, and her pressure was reduced a lot. Of course she couldn't understand Ye Tao's surprise and secret joy when he saw that Ye Tao was not good at saying this, using a cavalry sword to cut a roasted whole sheep neatly with a cavalry sword to serve Ye Tao as the only expression of his gratitude for being saved.

Jin Xiangyu knew that this barbarian was very reliable. He always snuggled lazily beside the stove in the inn. His exquisite barbecue skills and knife skills were once occasionally revealed, but they were only used to serve the most noble guests, and there were few opportunities worthy of his attack. But since he appeared, he took action several times with light weight, which definitely shocked the audience and made her, the boss lady, very face. The relationship of this barbarian is so simple, and whoever treats him will treat him well. Jin Xiangyu knew that when necessary, this barbarian would definitely sacrifice his life to protect her. Because that was what Ye Tao entrusted him, and because he had always treated this barbarian very well.

The atmosphere today is a bit strange. Longmen Inn is actually full of customers. The two groups of guests who gathered here early in the morning obviously knew each other and... were afraid of each other.
