Zheng Feng was a little strange at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he understood instantly. It seemed that Lin Zhe was quite confused by his eldest sister.

No wonder he was so anxious to deliver food quickly. It seemed that he wanted to find King Zhao to quickly arrange the marriage between him and his eldest sister. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauties.

Zheng Feng, who believed that the truth was true, nodded repeatedly and promised: "Second Young Master, don't worry, I will go back and report to my father. I will definitely raise food, grass and silver as soon as possible, and I will never delay Second Young Master's important event!"

Lin Zhe smiled and patted Zheng Feng on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zheng, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, I want to get married to your sister as soon as possible. I don't want to wrong your sister."

Zheng Feng became more determined in his thoughts. He knew that this was Lin Zhe's reassurance and his great trust in the Zheng family. He firmly promised: "Second Young Master, don't worry, I will live up to your trust!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Zheng Feng stood up and left. Lin Zhe personally saw him off and watched his carriage disappear into the night, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

He turned back to the study, sat at his desk and meditated. As soon as the money and food arrived tonight, he would leave Xinzhou City immediately. It's just that he has to think carefully about where to go. It's best to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zheng Feng couldn't wait to return to the Zheng family and informed the head of the Zheng family of Lin Zhe's intentions. After careful consideration, the head of the Zheng family also believed that this was a rare opportunity.

So he decided to fully support King Zhao's hegemony and raise more grain, grass and silver for King Zhao. It's just that the amount of food and money to be spent needs to be carefully negotiated.

Zheng Feng looked at his father who was meditating, and said after careful consideration: "Dad, I have promised the second young master tonight that I will give you 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 jins of rice. Now, we will increase it to 50,000 taels of silver and 2,000 jins of rice. What do you think?"

Zheng Shouye, the head of the Zheng family, thought for a while and shook his head. "If you just want to show off your face in front of King Zhao, you can get away with it, but if you want to do it for your sister's position as the head wife, I'm afraid it's still far from enough."

Zheng Feng was also in trouble for a moment, "Dad, then you can decide how much you should give."

Zheng Shouye gritted his back teeth and said with difficulty: "Half worth."

Zheng Feng almost lost his grip when he heard the tea cup in his hand. "Dad, are you kidding me?"

Although Zheng Feng loved his only biological sister, he was still reluctant to exchange half of his wealth for the position of his head wife.

Zheng Shouye glared at Zheng Feng and scolded: "Short-sighted, judging from the current situation, the chance of King Zhao ascending to the throne is very high.

Let us help the second young master ascend to the throne of prince. Then your sister will be the crown princess or even the empress of the world. What does your half-net worth mean?

As long as your sister marries Lin Zhe as his wife, half of her net worth may be returned several times. "

Zheng Feng was suddenly enlightened. He stood up and said to his father that it was his father who had a scheming plan and his son had learned a lesson.

Zheng Shouye said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Feng'er, you have to remember that if we, the Zheng family, want to gain a foothold in this troubled world, we must have foresight and determination. We can't just see the immediate interests."

Zheng Feng bowed deeply and said, "Yes, dad, I understand."

Zheng Shouye nodded with satisfaction and took out the seal representing his identity to Zheng Feng, "Very good, this is my seal. Go to the bank and take out 200,000 silver."

I asked Azhong to take charge of three thousand kilograms of grain. We must deliver the grain, grass and silver to the second young master before midnight. "

When Zheng Feng heard that he was about to give away three thousand kilograms of grain, he hesitated and said: "Dad, the grain we have stored is only three thousand five hundred kilograms. The market has been bad this year. Just in case, let's keep one thousand five hundred kilograms." ”

Zheng Shouye thought for a moment and felt that what Zheng Feng said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement: "Forget it, just leave 1,500 kilograms of grain. It's always good to be just in case."

Zheng Feng took the seal from his father and hurried to the bank. Time was running out, and he had to take out the silver as soon as possible and try to deliver the money and food before midnight.

Lin Zhe had locked himself in his study since the banquet ended. He looked at the map on the wall intently, and his eyes lit up when he saw the place marked with the mountains.

I still remember that Yu Xiao said before that the group of people selling chives lived in a big valley deep in the mountains.

"Yu Xiao, come in!"

When Yu Xiao heard Lin Zhe's call, she immediately opened the door and walked in.

"Second Young Master, what are your orders?" Yu Xiao asked with a respectful salute.

Lin Zhe pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Did you say before that the valley where the group of people selling chives lives is in the Pian Mountain Range?"

Yu Xiao stepped forward, looked at the map carefully, and nodded: "Yes, Second Young Master. That valley is located deep in the mountains. That group of people probably wanted to escape the war, so they chose to settle there. ”

"What's the terrain of that valley?" Lin Zhe didn't care why the group of people lived there, he just wanted to know what the geographical environment was like.

Although he didn't know why his young master asked this, Yu Xiao still answered truthfully: "If we go back to the second young master, it is relatively hidden there, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Lin Zhe's face was filled with joy and he confirmed again: "Is this true?!"

Yu Xiao nodded affirmatively, "Second Young Master, I will never dare to lie. The valley is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one mountain road leading into the valley.

And the mountain road is also very rugged and difficult. Therefore, if someone sets an ambush there, it will be very difficult to break in. "

Lin Zhe was overjoyed after hearing this. This was exactly where he wanted. If he can lead his men to hide in that valley, then no matter who comes, they can't do anything to him.

Yu Xiao, who bowed his head, had some doubts in his heart. The second young master had previously said that those people were untouchables and there was no need to take it to heart.

Why are you hearing it now? Could it be that I wanted to buy chives again, so I asked about it.

Lin Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Can a thousand elite soldiers live there?"

Yu Xiaoxin was shocked. Could it be that the second young master wanted to start raising private soldiers? Also, if you want to fight against the Third Young Master, you still need to have some trump cards.

He thought for a while and replied: "Back to Second Young Master, the valley is quite large and it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

"Okay, go and call Vice General Zhou. If those people bring money and food, tell me immediately."

Yu Xiao responded, turned around and quickly left the study to call Deputy General Zhou.

Lin Zhe arranged for two first-class maids to pack his luggage, especially gold, silver and jewelry.
