As soon as the horse thieves left, Zhao Ding'an led his brothers to fight back. It turned out that Ye Kai saw that the situation was not good and secretly ran to report the news. When everyone heard that someone was knocking on the door, it was a big deal! The guy immediately got on his horse and ran back.
All the long swords were unsheathed. If they met Luo Xiaohu, Liu Hailong and the others, there would be a fierce fight.
Seeing the laughter and laughter outside the fort gate, everyone was laughing at the horse thief's embarrassing behavior. Zhao Ding'an and others relaxed and listened to Gou Sheng's vivid description of what had just happened. The eyes of the boys who had just been arrested today all showed fanatical colors.
This master really paid homage to me.
"It's okay, let's go back and continue practicing." Yuan Feng waved his hand.
The master gave the order, and the disciples all got on their horses and were about to leave. Suddenly someone with sharp eyes pointed into the distance and shouted: "No, the horse thief is back again!"
Everyone looked up and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance. It seemed that a group of men and horses were rushing toward them. The situation was unknown. Yuan Feng did not dare to take risks and hurriedly said: "Enter the fort and close the door!"
Everyone hurriedly retreated into the fort, the door was closed tightly, and they rang the gong to summon the young men in the fort. The men in the town were all playing Pai Gow at home during the Chinese New Year. When they heard the call, they quickly threw away their cards and came out to assemble. The leader was at the gate of the fort.
Spears, swords in hand, people on the wall, the entire team is preparing for the upcoming battle. The men are busy cursing: "Which blind person is here to die again? I really think that we Shibali Fort people are mud."
Did you pinch it?"
The group of people finally arrived under the wall of Shibalibao Township. The people on the wall and the townspeople lined up behind the door held their breaths, waiting for Yuan Feng to give the battle order, but what they heard was Yuan Feng's laughter.
: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be shopkeeper Deng. Happy New Year."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but this was another false alarm. They immediately opened the fort gate and welcomed Deng Ziming and his party in. The young men then dispersed.
The visitor was Deng Ziming, the caravan manager. He originally planned to come in the spring, but when he was visiting relatives and friends, he heard about the night raid on Huangcaopu by the Thirteen Taibao, so he came in advance.
"Has shopkeeper Deng brought what I want?" Yuan Feng asked straight to the point.
Deng Ziming's face turned red and he said: "The cavalry bows used by the Forbidden Army are difficult to deal with. I have asked someone to make some. I should get a reply in half a month. Today I will bring two pots of wild goose feather arrows. Brother Feng will use them first."
"
Yuan Feng was a little disappointed: "You only brought these things, so why did you bring more than a dozen followers? Youyi Dao is dead, so what are you afraid of?"
Deng Ziming chuckled and said: "Brother Feng, these people are the children of our Deng family. They are all naughty children. I came here to ask Brother Feng to take the trouble to kill me. As for the related expenses, it is easy to tell. We have prepared our own weapons and horses, and food."
If you want to stay, I'll stay with you first, and whatever you eat is mine."
Yuan Feng was dumbfounded. Why did he want to send his apprentice to him?
Deng Ziming saw his confusion and said: "Brother Feng, don't be surprised. These young men are all descendants of the caravan. When they grow up, they will definitely inherit their father's business. If they don't learn some skills, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat this bowl of rice. Instead of
I beg those martial arts masters and instructors from Lanzhou Prefecture and Chang'an Prefecture, why not beg you, a famous swordsman? After you killed Duyi Dao and his son, your reputation has been spread, and you have wiped out the remnants of the Huangcaopu bandit, making it clear that you are going to
Eat this bowl of rice, I'm thinking that this has just opened, so I have to help anyway. Let's do this. I, the Deng family's horse gang, will take the lead. I used to give Duyi Dao a regular fee, and I will give you an extra 10%. What do you think, Brother Feng?
?”
Yuan Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "So you thought I was going to take over the business of Duyi Dao. This was a misunderstanding. I destroyed the Duyi Dao gang just to strike first and protect myself. From Shibali Fort to
This section of the road to Liangzhou is flat and smooth, and it is originally an excellent walk. It is precisely because of banditry that the cost of the caravan is increased for no reason. Merchants travel thousands of miles just for small profits. How is it different from using force to conquer them?
, Yuan Feng cannot do such things."
Hearing this, Deng Ziming suddenly stood up and bowed to the end: "Brother Feng understands the difficulties of our business, which is commendable. I would like to thank you on behalf of my colleagues who often walk this road. But if you don't eat this bowl of rice, there will naturally be other reasons.
People eat it, look at this..."
Yuan Feng said: "We have few horses and many horses in Shibali Fort. Many people complain that they can't afford to keep them. Let's do this. I will provide you with some mules, horses and camels to do business with you. I will naturally be responsible for the safety of the caravan. If there are other
The caravan also wants to be protected by me, all they need to do is let them know and I won't take any money from them."

Deng Ziming secretly said that Brother Feng was really a kind and righteous person, and his mind was shrewd enough. Being a horse thief and making a living by robbing was not the right path after all. It was far better to join the real business. As for what he said about not taking any money from other horse gangs, that was just rhetoric.
Business people are very shrewd. If you protect their people and goods, how could they not reciprocate the favor? It's just that the way of repayment will be slightly more diverse.
The matter was quickly settled. Deng Ziming sent the children of the eight clans to study in Shibali Fort. Yuan Feng sent out seventeen camels and thirty horses to join the Deng family's caravan, and was also responsible for the caravan's transportation from Heishan Gorge to Liangzhou.
It is safe, and the income will be settled according to the amount of shares invested, and the amount will be the amount. As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly.
Yuan Feng asked Zhang Tietou to pick out thirty bad horses and hand them over to Deng Ziming to take away. The reason why he kept sixty horses was because Yuan Feng considered that his small cavalry team needed sufficient mobility, and this requirement was only
It will gradually increase without decreasing. As for camels, these are not used by farmers and are not as economical as those mules.
Originally, Lao Suntou, Zhang Tuozi and others wanted to stay with Deng Ziming overnight and have a drink with everyone in the evening, but Deng Ziming did not dare to stay for a long time because Yuan Feng once again asked him to purchase the necessary supplies as soon as possible.
Deng Ziming took the horses and camels and left, leaving behind a contract and fifty taels of silver. Everyone in Shibalibao was smiling. Originally, horses were a loser if they were kept at home, but now they can invest in shares and trade, and they will have a fixed income every year.
Moreover, it is Yuan Feng who is the middle man, and he is not afraid of being cheated. This is really a great joy.
Widow Wang's family suddenly had more than a dozen mouths, and the total number of Yuanfeng's gang reached thirty. The Wang family's cooking pot seemed a bit too small. Several prominent figures in the town discussed it and decided to find a few.
A man with quick hands and feet went to help Widow Wang cook, and after many discussions, he finally felt that Meng Xiaodong, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, was the most suitable.
The eldest girl of the Meng family is eighteen years old. She is shrewd and fierce. She is a good hand both inside and outside. After finishing the housework, she just goes to help Widow Wang. There is no need for brother Feng to pay. As a fellow villager, this
A little help should help.
During the discussion, Hu Laizi was also present. He murmured that he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. The old man intended to ask the dumb aunt to help, but because he thought that he also needed manpower in his store, after much deliberation, selfishness prevailed.
Later, the dumb girl cried several times because of this matter, but this is a story for later.
There are thirty people under Yuan Feng, thirteen of whom are from the town, eight are young men from nearby villages and eight are children of the Deng family, and one is Ye Kai who was rescued from a gang of horse thieves. The average age of these young men is around sixteen years old.
When you are full of energy and your body is at its peak, if you can only do some work at home, it will be a waste of this great time. If your unlimited energy does not have a normal outlet, you will do things like chickens and dogs. However,
Here in Yuanfeng, nothing is a problem.
During the day, there was horse riding, long-distance running with weights, then sword practice, slingshot practice, horse squatting, and then games, various games, such as a group of people divided into two groups and staying in a sand pit, throwing each other out to see who was the winner.
There are many people left at the end, or you can ride a horse and use a long wooden pole to hit the ball to see who can score the ball into the opponent's goal. In short, it is a relatively confrontational and collaborative game, which not only ensures fun but also enhances teamwork.
There is no fixed rule when it comes to grouping friendships. They are divided according to the palm of the hand and the back of the hand. This also isolates the formation of small cliques.
The greater the physical exertion, the more food they eat. The small canteen here in Yuanfeng is much better than the food at home. In fact, there is no special trick. It is just that there is enough oil, water and food. A sheep is killed almost every day. In the town
The eggs were rounded by them, and the sorghum rice was served in a huge bowl. Most people would be exhausted after just one bowl, but even a little kid like Meng Xiaoer could finish two bowls in one meal, which shocked his sister.
They couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. How could these be thirty and a half young men? They were clearly thirty hungry wolves!
Fortunately, Yuan Feng had a lot of money. The silver he robbed from Huangcaopu alone was more than a thousand taels. Later, Liu Hailong, Luo Xiaohu and the others sent another 200 taels as a meeting gift. A sheep only cost a few dollars, so one tael of silver was used.
If it is less than that, sorghum, beans, and corn are even less valuable. Even so, Yuan Feng and Ye Kai are stunned when they take stock of the accounts every month. If they eat this way, Jinshan will be empty.
