Chapter 5: The Death of Water (IV)

"Ah--" Han Jing kept trying to find an opportunity to remind Ning Ziming that the old eunuch had many flaws in his words, but he didn't expect that the latter suddenly took action, screamed in fear, and retreated repeatedly.

Zhao Kuangyin rushed forward with a quick step, first supported Han Jing, then laughed and said, "It's good to kill, it's good to kill! This old guy treats others as a fool, but he doesn't know that he is the stupidest one! If I were you, I'll wait for you to cross Baigou River before killing him. Let him serve you carefully all the way, and finally be a lonely ghost!"

"Second brother, don't mess around!" As long as you don't go into battle, Chai Rong always looks slow, waves his hand and stops with a smile, "If you catch thieves for a thousand days, how can you prevent thieves for a thousand days? The old eunuch is already a mature elf. He really walked with him all the way to Baigou River. I don't know how many times he has sold me!"

"That's true. We can't keep our eyes open day and night!" Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and nodded with a smile. However, he quickly shook his head and quickly added: "But it's still a pity. This person speaks Khitan more authentic than you, brother, and is familiar with the road to returning to the Central Plains. Killing him so early is equivalent to wasting a waste of a ready-made guide!"

"It's a pity that you don't go to business!" Chai Rong glared at him, smiled and joked. Then he turned his eyes to Ning Ziming, who was already a little unconscious, and comforted in a low voice: "I thought you would be soft-hearted, and I was thinking about how to persuade you to make a decision early. Unexpectedly, I underestimated you. Uncle Shi had said long ago that there was no trustworthy person around him. And this old guy didn't say a word at all. Keep him for one more day, so we will take more risks!"

"I understand. I just worried my elder brother and second brother!" Ning Ziming turned around and forced a smile to bow.

When he was just now, he thought that he would not implicate his two brothers and a sister-in-law because of his indecisiveness. But now, he suddenly realized that he had been accustomed to using killing to solve problems without realizing it. As for whether this change is good or bad, looking around, no elder can give him guidance.

My father said he picked it up. He has never contacted his two uncles since he was kidnapped by Guo Yunming last year, and he must have been unwilling to be implicated by the Shi family. But this time, I don’t know when it will be when I return to Liaodong again! Even if I can accumulate enough strength in the end, who can guarantee that my father can really wait for so long?

"Brother, why are you polite?" Chai Rong didn't say much when he knew that Ning Ziming had a knot and could not be untied for the time being. He smiled and turned to arrange for Nangui.

With Yelu Yishe taking the initiative to "send" the war horses and supplies, the journey naturally became much easier. The four brothers and sisters dressed as merchants selling horses, gathered together with three dead soldiers including Guo Nu, and bypassed the few checkpoints and military camps. It took only more than ten days to arrive in Jizhou safely.

Walking further south, it was too conspicuous to drive a large group of military horses across the market. Fortunately, Chai Rong had left a secret stump here, so he found an opportunity to secretly pick up the horse. The general's horse was replaced by a cart and a cart, filling the cart with licorice, Rehmannia, safflower, astragalus, and windbreak. The four brothers and sisters transformed into popular medicinal materials merchants in the local area.

The guys who had originally stayed in Tanzhou, Jizhou and other places to buy local products also rushed to meet in their caravans. The caravans went south, the scale grew, and the more and more types of goods there were gathering. When the caravan arrived at Youdu, that is, the Liao Dynasty's accompanying capital, near Nanjing, there was no flaw, including all kinds of customs clearance procedures, which had already passed through the yamen under the Southern Privy Council and were fully equipped.

Once again, Han Jing felt embarrassed. He wanted to go home and reunite with his parents, but he didn't know if he had the chance to see Brother Zhao again. Thinking of returning south with Zhao Kuangyin, he was reluctant to part with his parents, and he didn't know if he would be looked down upon by his future parents-in-law along the way. From then on, he always treated him coldly. He looked back and forth, and was in a dilemma. He was more pitiful than a knife on his arm.

Chai Rong is a person who has experienced it, how could he not notice Han Jing's emotional changes? After finding an opportunity, he gathered the four brothers and sisters together, and suggested with a smile, "Second brother, Jing Niang, don't think that I am a brother, are too talkative. I have been sent to you thousands of miles apart and followed you thousands of miles apart. The blind man can see what's going on between you. It's better to just break through this layer of window paper and give each other a happy conversation. Although Han and Liao are enemies, there is no need to confuse state affairs and family affairs. Putting aside state affairs, the Zhao family in Bianliang and the Han family in Youzhou can be considered a match!"

Before he finished speaking, Han Jing was so embarrassed that he covered his face and ran away. However, his legs suddenly lost the strength to run too far. He hid behind a willow tree that was only the size of an arm, and pricked his ears and eavesdropped on Zhao Kuangyin's answer.

"I'm going to tell my brother, I've been thinking about how to tell Jing Niang these days!" Although Zhao Kuangyin claimed to be rude, he also turned red. He bowed and shouted: "I, when I was as old as Ziming, my family had arranged a marriage. The surname was He, and his father and his father were friends of life and death. Although, although He did not suit me, she could be filial to her parents-in-law and manage the family well after she passed by. Therefore, if she was greedy, she would probably suffer a lot of grievances!"

"You..." Chai Rong immediately began to grin when he heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

No wonder my second brother was decisive in everything he did, but he was dragging on Jing Niang. It turned out that there was such a big mountain between the two.

These days, wars have been frequent, and the surviving adult women are several times that of men. Therefore, it is very common among the people that a single wife has multiple concubines. However, with Han Jing's family background, you must not be wronged as a concubine. If Zhao Kuangyin divorced his wife for no reason and could not explain it to his father-in-law's family, his reputation would be indescribable.

"My brother, I have been embarrassed, so I have been delayed until now!" Zhao Kuangyin also knew that he was a little sorry for this matter. He secretly glanced at the willow tree where Jing Niang was hiding, and gritted his teeth and added: "I dare not do anything about stopping my wife and remarrying. Therefore, I plan to follow my elder brother to the army immediately after returning to the Central Plains. As long as I win fame and fortune immediately, I will be qualified to be a legitimate, but, I just have to be wronged Jing Niang for a long time!"

This is almost the only way. According to the customs since the Middle Tang Dynasty, as long as the status is sufficient, even if it is not a king or a prince, you can marry multiple wives at the same time. The official call it "Grand Legacy". The wives are not of different sizes and the children born can be regarded as legitimate and have the right to inherit the family business equally. (Note 1)

Chai Rong traveled around the world and was knowledgeable. Of course, he understood that Zhao Kuangyin's idea was very feasible. He looked at his second brother who was already sweating, and then looked at Han Jing, who was hiding behind a tree and refused to show his head. He smiled slightly, deliberately raised his face and scolded: "You think beautifully. I didn't owe you in my previous life, why should I wait for you to gain fame and fortune? I think, let's forget about this. You two are better at pain than long-term pain..."

"Who said I don't want to wait?" Before he finished speaking, Han Jing had already jumped out of the back of the tree. He took two steps in three steps to Chai Rong, pointed at his nose and screamed, "You are not his biological brother, why should you make the decision for him? As long as he does not let me down, I will follow him in this life. Not to mention waiting for three or five years, even if you wait for the rest of your life, I will be willing!"
