Chapter 54: Yan Wei

"In the trading house, His Highness said it himself, dad, just wait, I won't lose..."

Dong An told everything about Jiang Trading Company. ReadМ

After hearing this, Dong Yuan was stunned for a long time before he recovered.

He looked deeply at Dong An and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan is always strict. My father can't help you in this matter. You have to rely on yourself."

Dong An clenched his fists after hearing this. He must win this time.

Yang family.

Yang Cheng chased Yang He across half the yard with a stick.

"You son of a bitch, you can do nothing but drink wine, and now you've come to lie to me, saying that His Highness will give you a chance to be an official..." Yang Cheng panted.

There used to be three families of Dong, Yang and Lu, but now he and Dong Yuan are the only ones who can't hold their heads high.

Now every time the three of them are together, Lu Ran's head goes up to the sky.

Who made his son have the ability to become a soldier of King Yan, and now he is still a school captain?

But he and Dong Yuan's eldest son couldn't be a soldier or an official.

It has become a joke among the clan.

Yang He was so angry that he climbed up the rockery and shouted: "It's absolutely true. I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go ask His Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion came in and said something in Yang Cheng's ear.

"Is this true?" Yang Cheng dropped the stick and rolled his eyes.

Looking at Yang He, he said: "Father misunderstood you this time. His Highness is taking care of you this time. If you lose, don't come back in the future."

Yang He breathed a sigh of relief, "Just watch."

At the same time, other wealthy family members also informed their families about the matter.

The wealthy people were surprised and secretly rejoiced at the same time.

For a time, the children of the wealthy family showed their magical powers.

At this time, Zhao Xu had returned to the palace.

In the front yard he found Xu Yuan and his son, Chai Wu and others.

The last time they were selected into the royal intelligence agency, Zhao Xu had been letting them take care of themselves.

Their bodies were very weak due to the many crimes they had suffered.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Zhao Xu, sixteen people saluted Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked them to excuse themselves.

"Your Highness, can we be used now?" A hint of excitement flashed in Tsui Hark's eyes.

During this time, I always had good food and good clothes in the palace.

But they felt guilty and felt that this would be a disservice to the palace.

"Well, I do have something to tell you." A smirk spread from the corner of Zhao Xu's mouth.

In this selection of the commercial bank, someone will definitely cheat.

For him, that's not okay.

Therefore, he was going to let people like Tsui Hark take action and keep an eye on him.

And this is also a test for them.

Decide which of them will lead the sixteen-man team.

Thinking of this, he told them the reason.

"What do they look like? What are their names? We have no idea." One team member complained with a grimace.

Zhao Xu said seriously: "You know everything, why do you still need to investigate? This time is just a trivial matter. What you will do in the future will be a major matter of narrow escape."

Tsui Hark nodded and licked his lips. He became more and more excited, "In the mountains, as long as there are clues, I can find the wild beasts and find people."

Xu Yuan patted his son on the shoulder, "Don't be careless. This is different from hunting for wild animals."

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them and said, "This time, the leader of the team will be selected based on your performance."

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "After that, you will officially serve as my spy to monitor Yan County for this king."

When everyone heard this, they all became energetic.

Chai Wudao: "Your Highness, I heard that the spies in Beidi are all affiliated with the Black Iron Guard. Would you like your Highness to have a famous name?"

Zhao Xu came to Chai Wu. This boy was also bold.

As Chai Wu said, Dasong, Xiliang, and Beidi all have their own detailed production institutions, which are of the same nature as the contemporary Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

Including the powerful Dasong clan, they also secretly cultivate spies.

He thought for a while and smiled strangely: "I do have a good name for you, and it is called Yanwei."

"Yanwei? Why is it called Yanwei?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"Fire is flame and can melt iron, which means that you will be better than the Black Iron Guard. And after this test, I will also teach you to make a delicacy called hot pot, so that you can run a shop on the surface, but secretly... It’s a fine work. Both of them are related to fire. Wouldn’t the name Yanwei be suitable?”

After a pause, he continued: "Using the Hot Pot Chronicle as a nest, you can recruit people, spy on intelligence, and even drive the Hot Pot Chronicle to the Imperial City."

Tsui Hark and others were stunned.

This King Yan is too smart. The name makes sense and allows them to do business while spying on information.

You can even save money on doing things for them and earn it yourself.

"Hahaha...wonderful." Chai Wu didn't know whether he was crying or laughing.

The name was indeed novel, but he always felt it didn't taste right.

"Well, it's decided." Zhao Xu was in a good mood.

He knows the ingredients for hot pot, and the pot can be made of ceramic. As for the fire, he also has a way to solve it now.

The next focus is on various types of dishes.

It's not as rich as modern, but it doesn't matter if it's less.

Most importantly, this conceals their identities very well.

After finalizing the matter, Zhao Xu asked them to set off.

Now the children of the wealthy family have probably taken action.

This time he wanted to see who among these people was really capable.

…

Zhangjiawu Fort.

Zhang Kang stood outside the door, looked around, then turned around and entered the secret room.

This is a room located underground.

All important matters will be discussed here.

At this time, Tuoba Lie was admiring a painting of plum blossoms in the house.

Zhang Kang came in and sat down at the stone table.

"That Chang Wei is really lucky, he didn't die." Zhang Kang poured Tuoba Lie a cup of tea and said it was a pity.

Tuoba Lie's contempt almost overflowed from his eyes, "What is there to worry about a defeated general? A scout team of more than 200 people from Beidi almost took his life. When the autumn hunting army arrives, Yan County will be nothing but a plaything."

"Hehe... Commander Tuoba is right." Zhang Kang felt more comfortable than ever before.

He was a little worried, but now it seems that the King of Yan really won't survive this autumn.

In this way, it is worth it for him to sacrifice the Du family and the Huang family.

Tuoba Lie laughed wantonly for a few times and asked, "Is the iron ready this time?"

"It's ready. The Yuan family will send someone to deliver it in a few days. Yuan Li asked me to exchange it for a thousand war horses." Zhang Kang said.

Over the years, he has been the middleman between Beidi and the Yuan family.

With this, Beidi got food, ironware, cloth, etc., while the Yuan family got a lot of furs and war horses.

Even formed an elite cavalry of 30,000 people.

The Yuan family also made a lot of money from these trades.

Tuoba Lie nodded with satisfaction.

The supplies on the grassland are scarce. Since Dasong banned border trade, life on the grassland has been affected.

Trade with the Yuan family has alleviated this problem slightly.

At the same time, another reason they did this was to make the Yuan family stronger.

Over the years, the Yuan family has grown from a powerful family that the eight major clans look down on to an existence second only to the eight major clans. It cannot be said that there is no credit without them.

And the reason they did this was to expand the ambitions of the Yuan family and eventually split Yanzhou.

In this way, the 160,000 Dasong Imperial Guards stationed in Yanguan will make the Yuan family uncomfortable.

In the past two years, the Yuan family has impeached the evil deeds of the generals of the Yanguan Imperial Guards several times, and the righteous words of the Yuan family are willing to guard Yanguan for the court. This is proof.

The Yuan family, which ruled Yanzhou, was much easier to deal with than the royal family of Dasong, and there was a chance for some secret transactions.

He was thinking proudly, when he suddenly saw Zhang Kang's face showing worry.

Zhang Kang said, "Commander, I have found some tricks in the attack on the palace last time..."

At this point, he approached Tuoba Lie and whispered a few words in his ear.

Tuoba Lie's face changed immediately after hearing this.
