"General Guo, we will return the boat at dawn tomorrow and we won't cause you any trouble," Chi Zhongtian said.

"General Chi, you are also a general of the imperial court. Don't you know that dispatching ships without military orders is a serious crime?"

When Guo Ming said this, Chi Zhongtian choked up.

Otherwise, why not just go back and ask the king to come?

Chi Zhongtian had just come up with this idea, but he immediately gave it up. Not to mention how much time it would take to come back and forth, just taking a boat from there would probably freeze the king to death. He was an old man, so he couldn't come.

A slight mistake.

If it's easy to say it doesn't work, then you can only do it hard.

This is also Chi Zhongtian's usual practice now. When meeting, give him a smile first. If the other party gives him face, then forget it. If he doesn't give it, then give him some compliments.

"Oh? It seems that General Guo doesn't want to give me face. Well, I have important matters to do according to the imperial decree. General Guo insists on embarrassing me, so I can only send someone back to Beijing to report to the emperor."

Chi Zhongtian said this just to scare him.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ming did not accept this trick at all, but said plausibly: "General Chi, do it yourself! The general is waiting here!" After saying this, Guo Ming left quickly and soon disappeared.

silhouette.

"you!"

Chi Zhongtian never expected that this Guo Ming would refuse to eat soft or hard. It was really smelly and hard.

This is a military camp after all, and Chi Zhongtian can't do anything, otherwise he will be in bad luck.

"I understand!" Since Guo Ming refused to help borrow the boat, Chi Zhongtian had no use staying any longer and could only walk back depressedly.

Just after walking out for a while, Leng Buding saw some light in front of him, as if coming from a few lanterns.

"General Chi!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the front.

Chi Zhongtian was stunned for a moment and looked forward carefully, only to see a person walking towards here.

After getting closer, the genius in the pool saw clearly that it was Jiang Xianda.

"Master Jiang? Why are you still here?" Chi Zhongtian clearly remembered that Jiang Xianda just said that he would go back first.

"General Chi, you borrowed the boat, did you borrow it?"

Jiang Xianda was very cautious when he asked this question.

"Oh, no, General Guo doesn't give you face." Chi Zhongtian sighed and said.

"General Chi, don't blame General Guo. He doesn't dare to lend the boat to other countries easily. How big of a boat do you want to use?" Jiang Xianda asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhongtian's heart moved and he quickly replied: "It doesn't need to be big, it can accommodate three hundred people."

"Three hundred people... let's do it, General Chi! I have a distant relative who transports goods from the waterway for others. He has a large cargo ship, and there is absolutely no problem with a few hundred people on it. It's just that the conditions are a bit crude. Usually,

It's for loading, look at this..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Mr. Jiang, you are really giving us timely help!" Chi Zhongtian was overjoyed, and the disappointment just now was gone.

"General Chi, you are so polite. When will you use it?" Jiang Xianda asked.

"The faster, the better!" Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to find him. If you hurry, we can set off in half an hour. You can follow me back to the Yamen and wait. It's so cold outside. Go to the Yamen and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up.

!”

When Jiang Xianda said this, he actually wanted to get close to Chi Zhongtian. Although Chi Zhongtian understood in his heart, he did not refuse. He had to give face when others provided him with convenience.

After Jiang Xianda arrived at the government office, Jiang Xianda first sent someone to notify his relative, and then ordered someone to quickly bring some food and drink over.

"Master Jiang, I really don't know what to say. You helped me a lot this time. I will definitely thank you very much in the future!"

Chi Zhongtian said politely.

Jiang Xianda poured a cup of tea for Chi Zhongtian and said with a smile: "General Chi's words are too outrageous. You and I are both members of the court, serving the court and the people. I am just doing what I should do."

Things to do.”

"Hey, Mr. Jiang's words are wrong. There are many officials in the imperial court, but not everyone thinks like Mr. Jiang." Chi Zhongtian said this at this time, as if he was talking about Guo Ming.

"General Chi, this is my relative's own ship. I can make the decision myself, so there won't be so much trouble." Jiang Xianda heard the meaning of Chi Zhongtian's words and said this casually, which could be regarded as excusing Guo Ming.

.

After the two chatted for a while, a man hurriedly walked in from the outside. He was more than five feet tall and dark-skinned. He was wearing a single coat in the cold weather, which was very strange.

"Cousin! I'm coming"

As soon as this man came in, he greeted Jiang Xianda.

Jiang Xianda turned his head to look, stood up immediately, and then gave him a reproachful look, and then said: "This is General Chi from the imperial court, come and see me!"

"Caomin has seen General Chi!"

"No need to be polite!" Chi Zhongtian knew that this person should be Jiang Xianda's relative.

"General Chi, this is my relative. I said Fuzi, let me lend your big boat to General Chi tomorrow." Jiang Xianda first spoke to Chi Zhongtian, and then said to the man.

After the man named Fuzi heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "This is easy to say, cousin, it only takes a word from you!"

"Haha, brother, it's great!" Chi Zhongtian stood up happily and said.

Fuzi was immediately excited when he heard Chi Zhongtian call him his brother. He didn't know how big Chi Zhongtian's official position was, but he knew exactly how big Jiang Xianda's official position was. Even Jiang Xianda was so polite to him, so

Definitely not an ordinary person.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the common people don't dare to call the general a brother." Fuzi said excitedly.

"Come on, the remuneration is not worth mentioning, just think of it as shipping fare." Chi Zhongtian took out a banknote from his arms and handed it over.

At this time, Chi Zhongtian was not short of money. When leaving the capital, the emperor specially asked someone to prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver notes for Chi Zhongtian to keep for the road. Of course, Chi Zhongtian could only use this money this time.

On the way to southern Xinjiang and back, you cannot use it for other things.

"General Chi! Aren't you slapping the official in the face?" Jiang Xianda quickly pushed Chi Zhongtian's hand back.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, you can't say that. This brother is also a businessman. You can't lend me the ship for free. I heard that brother specializes in helping people transport goods, so my money should be regarded as remuneration for transporting goods.

." After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he handed over the banknote again.

"General, please put it away quickly. Being able to do things for you is a blessing for ordinary people, but I don't dare to charge for it!"
