Since the horse bandits retreated, the tiger flag convoy was on the grassland for three consecutive days without encountering attacks from horse bandits.

This is also related to the fact that the convoy did not go deep into the grassland, but just went horizontally along the Daming Bian Fort twenty or thirty miles away to Zhangjiakou.

The Tiger Flag Convoy has more than 100 cavalry teams and more than 300 tiger flag warriors. With such powerful force, ordinary horse bandits dare not make any decisions.

"At the current speed, you will be outside the Zhang family in more than one day." Chen Wen sat in front of Zhao Yutu and said.

The convoy is stationed one mile away from the river, making it convenient for water withdrawal and camping.

Zhao Yutu held a grilled fish in his hand and baked it on the fire.

The fish were caught from the river, with a foot size, and the smallest one weighs more than two pounds, and one is enough for a soldier to fill his stomach.

Zhao Yutu flipped over the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, has led the way, but the convoy will not leave for the time being tomorrow. I will stay here for rest in the next two days."

"Ah!" Chen Wen was stunned and said in confusion, "Aren't you going to Zhangjiakou? You're coming soon."

"I know." Zhao Yutu said, "so I'm not in a hurry to leave."

Chen Wen was puzzled.

"Come on, how about trying the fish?" Zhao Yutu handed the grilled fish in his hand to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen subconsciously took it into his hand, but did not eat it.

"Try it quickly." Zhao Yutu looked at Chen Wen with hope.

Chen Wen had to tear off a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and chew it a few times, swallowed it, and nodded and said, "It's delicious, the fish has some spicy flavor, and the fishy smell is much less."

"If you taste delicious, you will finish it." Zhao Yutu said with a smile, "The fish's belly is filled with some garlic and dogwood to remove the fishy smell."

After saying that, he reached out and picked up another packed fish and put it on the fire to roast it.

"Well, it's really delicious." Chen Wen tore off another piece of fish and ate it into his mouth.

Zhao Yutu put the grilled fish on the wooden rack, slapped his palm twice, and said, "Brother Chen said he wanted to consider joining me with the tiger flag. What are you thinking about now?"

"This..." Chen Wen looked hesitant.

Zhao Yutu smiled and said, "Ling has joined my Tiger Flag Team. Do Brother Chen want to be together? In this way, you two brothers don't have to separate. As for whether Lord Li will release someone, Brother Chen, you don't have to worry. We will be with the tiger flag team. I believe that Lord Li will give this face."

Chen Wen lowered his head and glanced at the grilled fish in his hand, without saying a word.

Zhao Yutu flipped through the grilled fish on the wooden rack and said, "What is the situation if you don't collect the night in Xinpingbao? I don't need to say it. I believe Brother Chen himself knows it. If you continue to stay, I'm afraid that the whole family will starve to death. I'm right?"

Chen Wen nodded.

Zhao Yutu continued: "My tiger flag horse team is fully paid every month, and each rider of the ordinary horse team costs one tael and five cents a month. Those who are capable like Brother Chen will not charge at night, and at least four taels a month. If the horse team is expanded in the future, it is very likely that it will be the leader of the horse team. The salary will only be more. If you make contributions, no one will be greedy for merit, and the rewards you deserve will not be less."

Chen Wen pursed his lips and said, "I really have four taels of silver every month. Didn't it mean that there is only one tael?"

Zhao Yutu smiled and said, "The ordinary warriors are the ones who get one or two salary. The horse team's salary is more. If you are capable like Brother Chen, you will not collect the money at night, and the monthly salary will be higher. Of course, this is limited to now. If the horse team recruits too much at night, you will only get one or two or five cents of money if you don't collect the money at night."

The following words obviously reminded Chen Wen that now he is willing to spend more money to hire him if he doesn’t collect the tiger flag at night. When the tiger flag is not collected too much, he will naturally not be valued.

Although Chen Wen was a Tartar official, he could hear the meaning of inside and outside.

But his hatred with the Beilu for more than 100 years made him hesitate.

Zhao Yutu used the fire to see that Chen Wen was already moved, but he didn't agree for a long time, so he asked: "Brother Chen, can you tell me why you are unwilling to join our tiger flag? If the reason is justified, it will be considered to have given up."

"This..." Chen Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "There is nothing that cannot be said. Even if you don't say it now, I believe Mr. Zhao will know it in the future."

Zhao Yutu listened with his ears.

Chen Wen said: "From the ancestors, generations of people have fought with the Northern Barbarians. The blood feud with the Northern Barbarians is no less than that of you Han people. If the tiger flag is not the same as some merchants, I will bribe the border generals and smuggle the Northern Barbarians, so I will naturally be willing to join the tiger flag, but..."

"I understand." Before I could finish the following words, Zhao Yutu could already understand what was going on.

"Mr. Zhao also asked for understanding." Chen Wen bowed to Zhao Yutu.

Zhao Yutu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, the problem you mentioned is not a problem at all. First of all, there is no relationship between our tiger flag and the Northern Lu. Secondly, even if one day the tiger flag smuggles goods to the Northern Lu, it does not mean that there is no hatred between us Han people and the Northern Lu."

"I understand, but I really can't get through this hurdle in my heart." Chen Wen shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing him say this, Zhao Yutu no longer persuaded him.

Although the tiger flag needs to be accepted by Ye Wu, Chen Wen is not the only one who has the ability to join, Ye Wu is not the only one.

The reason why he invited him to join the tiger flag several times was that in addition to the tiger flag that he would not accept such a capable horseback player at night, he valued his identity as a Tartar official more.

A man who knows Mongolian language does not accept it at night, which is of great benefit to the tiger-like flag.

As a senior executive of the Tiger Flag, Zhao Yutu knew that a convoy of the Tiger Flag would enter the grassland next, and Mongolian was also the language they needed to learn from the Tiger Flag. Even if they sent a convoy to the grassland this time, it was also an action taken to allow the Tiger Flag to enter the grassland smoothly.

A soldier with a tiger-shaped flag came to Zhao Yutu and whispered to Zhao Yutu for a while.

After listening, Zhao Yutu looked up at Chen Wen and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is tired for a day. Go back to rest earlier. Please consider adding the tiger flag again."

With Chen Wu's joining, Chen Wen no longer has to recruit him. It is better to be able to recruit the tiger flag together.

Chen Wen saw that Zhao Yutu had something to do, so he stood up and said, "I won't disturb Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Yutu nodded.

When Chen Wen walked away, Zhao Yutu said to the soldiers beside him: "Bring people here!"

Shortly after the soldiers left, they came over with a man wearing cotton armor.

Unlike the cotton armor worn by the tiger flag musketeer, the cotton armor on this person is very worn, almost the same as the cotton armor on Chen Wen and Chen Wu before.

"I have met Mr. Zhao." As soon as the man came, he immediately bowed to Zhao Yutu with his fists.

Zhao Yutu looked up and down at the other party and said, "Are you a secret spy from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau?"

"This is the token of the subordinate." As he said that, the man took out an oval token and handed it on.

Zhao Yutu took it, glanced at the words on it, reached into his arms, and took out a token of the same size.
