Chapter 66 The first sale at the price

Gao Jin accompanied Mr. Guan for more than an hour to eat this meal, and the two of them finished a large jar of Fenjiu. At first, Gao Jin said, "Jun Guan, but later, Mr. Guan said, "Gao Jin heard."

When Guan Ye joined the army in his early years, Du Song, who was called "Trial Master Du" by the Tartars, was a personal soldier. After dozens of battles, Du Song made a lot of contributions, but Du Song was rude and unruly, and his personal soldiers were proud of it.

Later, Du Song's nephew, now the general of Yansui general Du Wenhuan, was the general. In order to take care of this nephew, Du Song sent Guan Qi and several personal soldiers to Du Wenhuan's tent to listen to him. Du Wenhuan was different from his uncle. Although he was both brave and good at fighting, he loved reading and did not put down the book. Guan Qi only knew how to make progress and learn literature from that time.

But later, Guan Qi broke his finger when he went to war with Du Wenhuan, and he could no longer ride a fast horse or drive a hard bow. Originally, Du Wenhuan planned to urge him to go to the place to be a thousand households, but he didn't want to, so he became a manager in the Du Mansion.

Eight years ago, Guan Qi opened a Sihai Goods Store in Gubeizhai to earn money for the Du Mansion and secretly collect information. So it was originally just a den for horse thieves to sell stolen goods, but it gradually gained its current scale in Guan Qi's hands. With the caravans coming and going from south to north, this side became the largest black market outside the Guan wall in Yulin Town.

Gao Jin listened to Mr. Guan’s story and knew that Mr. Guan was old and wanted to go back to Camel City, but in Gubei Village, the Du Mansion could not find anyone to replace Mr. Guan, so he asked Mr. Guan to continue to take charge of the Four Seas Goods Store.

"Xiao Gao, you know the rules and you are not bad. Hekou Fort is next to here. If your generous gift is enough, the old man would not mind handing over the Gubei Village to you."

Mr. Guan said half drunk and half awake, since the master took over as General Yansui, the Sihai Warehouse has not been as important as it has been. It’s just that the input of several thousand taels of silver a year is not a small amount, and no one is willing to give up.

It is said that no one can replace him, but the others in the mansion cannot control the complex situation of Gubei Village. Moreover, the more prosperous Gubei Village is, the more dangerous it is. After all, it is a lawless place hanging alone outside the wall. If the Tartars in Hetao launch a large army, they will not be able to defend it here.

"Justice Guan is very fond of love, but Gao Jin is young, afraid that he will not be able to defend Gubei Village and let him down."

Although Gao Jin had some ideas about Gubei Village, that was something that happened in the future. What he cared most about now was to take the Hekou Fort. Only by getting the official position of a hundred households could he act freely.

"That's right, but the old man is anxious. I'll talk about this later."

Mr. Guan stood up and said to Gao Jin drunk, "Let's go and see your prepared gift. The old man wants to see what kind of gift can impress my master."

"Master Guan, it's not too late to leave after resting."

Seeing Mr. Guan shaking, Gao Jin couldn't help but say, he only drank half of the big jar of Fenjiu just now, and the rest was all drunk by Mr. Guan.

"Why, Xiao Gao, do you look down on me as an old man!"

Mr. Guan snorted coldly, and then walked downstairs. Gao Jin was capable and understood the rules. Compared to other outsiders, he was the best candidate to replace him. He had been in Gubei Village for eight years, and when he was old, he would miss his children and grandchildren. He really wanted to go back to Camel City.

Gao Jin did not dare to refute Mr. Guan. As soon as this man got drunk, he could not reason with him, so he followed Mr. Guan and let him go.

Behind Mr. Guan, two strong men smiled at Gao Jin, "Brother Gao, don't worry. No matter how drunk Mr. Guan is, he will not fall off the horse. Just keep in front of you."

After going downstairs, among the two strong men, someone called the horse team from Sihai Warehouse to accompany him. Gao Jin took this opportunity to observe carefully. The horse team from Sihai Warehouse, to put it bluntly, was the private soldiers of the Du family, and could be regarded as the real elite in the official army.

With an iron whistle, more than 40 riders soon gathered from the warehouse to the open space in front of the warehouse. They were all tall and tall horses with strong verbal lip. Not everyone was wearing iron armor, but the worst was cloth armor. The weapons on the saddle were varied, and the iron mace, iron whip, meteor hammer, mace, everything was there.

"Singer, where are we going?"

"Just Mr. Guan is going to go out, be honest."

Wen Da scolded the man who spoke, saying that half of the horse team in the warehouse were subdued by Guan Ye after he came to Gubei Village. He had good martial arts skills and was brave in fighting, but his habits in the world were too heavy, and sometimes there were no rules.

When he heard that Mr. Guan was going out, the knights dressed in the rogue were restrained and stopped laughing.

Gao Jin looked at this scene and compared these knights with his friends. He felt that these people looked tough and might be more powerful than them, but in group battles, they may not be no opponents, but they are still too few in terms of number.

Master Guan got on a skinny yellow old horse, and Wenda brought his own horse team to surround him.

"Leading the way forward."

Seeing Mr. Guan speak, Gao Jin turned over and took the horses up and took the way forward. The valley was half a day away from Gubei Village. I was afraid that it would be evening when Mr. Guan came, and Mr. Guan had so many people, so Mulan would be angry again.

Along the way, Gao Jin and his group attracted everyone to stop and look at each other. It was the horse team behind Guan Ye, who was swaying with flags embroidered with "Four Seas".

When they arrived at the city gate, Yang Dayan and the others had already gathered to meet each other after receiving the news. They didn't know who had the idea. They temporarily found someone to make a big banner with a high character. As a result, the ink mark on the white and black characters were not dry, and the high character was a little blurred, which made Gao Jin laugh and cry.

"Second brother, why do you laugh at me?"

Holding the banner with the words "High-character flag and feeling majestic, Yang Dayan couldn't help asking, but he only heard Gao Jin say, "You see it yourself!" So he looked up and saw that the ink marks on the banner were melting, dripping in a mess. He screamed in anger, "What an old dog, how dare you bully me!"

"Okay, it's important to hurry up. You come and look for the unlucky businessman another day."

Chen Sheng shouted at Yang Da's angry eyes and said seriously to everyone else.

"Xiao Gao, you guys are so interesting!"

Looking at Yang's big eyes with wide open eyes, Mr. Guan remembered his brothers in the army when he was young, and couldn't help but walk towards Gao Jin.

"I'm laughing at Master Guan. My brothers are not old. It's the first time I'll come back in the Gubei Village."

"It's good to be young, there aren't so many distractions."

Mr. Guan murmured to himself, looking at the group of boys beside Gao Jin, with nostalgia on his face.

After leaving Gubei Village and boarding the road, Gao Jin did not dare to run too fast. Although the drunk Mr. Guan was very steadily on the horse's back, Mr. Guan had no fingers and could not ride a fast horse.

Guan Ye is here, and the men in the martial arts team under Wen Da dare not make fun of Gao Jin and the others. Although in their eyes, Gao Jin and the others are just groups of kids. If they want to change their usual habits, they have already started to laugh and make jokes. But now seeing that Guan Ye and Gao Jin seem quite close, they can only follow him and follow him.

After riding a horse slowly for more than two hours, he arrived at the place. Mr. Guan jumped off the horse and stretched his waist. He had already woken up with his drunkenness. He was so drunk that he was not at all on the back of the horse. He said to Gao Jin with a little tiredness, "Xiao Gao, I haven't been so troubled for a long time. I hope your generous gift will not disappoint the old man."

"Master Guan, please."

Looking at the red-haired antlers in front of the valley entrance and the two viewing buildings in front of Mr. Guan’s eyes flashed. He had not seen such a strict military camp defense for a long time. At this time, the knights of the Sihai Cargo Staff Horse Team dismounted and also put away their underestimation. The gun-carrying servants in this camp saw that the team was very strict and it was difficult to mess with.

"Grandmaster."

The servants said loudly that they trained every day, and Dong Bufang did not ask them to be skilled in martial arts, but only asked them to be uniform in line and orderly.

This shout called Guan Ye even more high-mindedly. Just such servants who were trained by military law, how many of them could have taken out the doors in Camel City several times.

Following Gao Jin all the way to the valley, Mr. Guan became more and more interested in that generous gift. Gao Jin was not very old, but he was mature and seemed to be extraordinary.

When he arrived at several large trucks with tightly covered tarpaulin, Mr. Guan said to Gao Jin, "This is what you said."

"That's right." Gao Jin replied, then walked to a big cart, suddenly pulled off the tarpaulin covered, and then a car of ferocious Tartar's heads appeared in Guan Ye's sight.

"This is……"

Even though Mr. Guan had experienced many battles, he saw Gao Jin pulling out the oil cloth one by one, and saw the Tartars' heads that were neatly placed in the four large trucks, and he couldn't help but take it away.

In a few steps, Mr. Guan went to the nearest cart, picked up a Tartar's head, wiped off the ash on it, carefully observed the color of the scalp on the hair, and then opened his mouth to look at the teeth inside. After putting it down, he changed the car and took out a head casually to look at Gao Jin and looked at it with a complicated expression, "These are the heads of the real Tartar."

"I dare not hide it from Master Guan. There are 237 heads in total, all of which are real Tartars."

Gao Jin replied in a deep voice. Not only was Guan Jun silent, but the two horse leaders Wen Da and Li Cheng following Guan Jun were also shocked. The four real Tartar heads were really rewarded. You must know that the general attacked the Huoluo Chi tribe on the west road this year, and he had only killed and cut off less than two hundred heads, forcing Huoluo Chi tribe to gather swords and swear and punished countless cattle, sheep, and camels.

Guan Ye is a real old corps. When he was a teenager, he fought with the Tartars in Hetao. He naturally recognized the Tartars who knew these cars were not those poor Tartar herders, but real Tartar warriors.

"Your gift is indeed heavy. If you have a hereditary official position, only these few cars of real Tartar heads will be more than enough to upgrade to a thousand households."

Mr. Guan didn't dare to underestimate Gao Jin anymore, nor did he want to care about how Gao Jin got so many real Tartar heads. He only knew that these few real Tartar heads were enough for his master to share the benefits and promote his confidants.

"Justice Guan, Gao Jin dare not think too much. He only wants to have a hundred households in Hekoubao. It is enough for these Tartar heads to take away these."

Gao Jin didn't care about a higher position of power. Qianhu just listened to his prestige, but he had to work in a garrison, which was far less real than controlling the real power of the hundred households.

"Xiao Gao, you are very good, really good."

Seeing that Gao Jin only wanted to have a few official positions in a hundred households, he did not seek any more benefits from these real Tartar heads, and he planned to take these cars of heads directly away, Guan Qi was really satisfied. To be honest, he even had the idea of ​​summoning people to seize them just now, but Gao Jin really knew how to choose.

Gao Jin asked someone to cover the tarpaulin again and handed over several carts of the Tartars' heads to Guan Ye. "Just Guan Ye, the Baihu Mansion of Hekou Fort was attacked by the Tartars at night soon, and the whole family suffered. Gao Jin by chance found out the whereabouts of the Tartars outside the wall and reported to the official army, and then he made a contribution. I would like to ask Guan Ye to take care of him in the future!"
