It is I who should toast you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Dian Wei was not stupid at all at this moment; he hurriedly took the wine cup handed over by Su Xuan and toasted Zhang Miao: \"My lord is a benevolent and righteous master; I have often heard of your reputation for being kind and generous; compared to you, what I have done is nothing at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Miao felt extremely comfortable upon hearing this, and after exchanging a few more cups with Old Dian Wei and Su Xuan, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also took full responsibility and said: \"Su Boyuan (Su Xuan's courtesy name), leave Mr. Old Dian's matter to me!

Then it's settled!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yi, not far away, looked at Old Dian Wei and couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart: \"Tsk tsk! How did big brother know there was such a fierce general in Jiwu? And he recruited him so easily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of big brother, he is truly amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, and reviews! ===== CHAPTER 44 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>5 days later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bumpy journey and encountering two waves of mountain bandits on the way, Su Xuan and his party finally arrived at Ma Yi City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They met the head of the Zhang family and Zhang Liao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Zhang, Su Xuan, Su Su Boyuan, greets you! The goods have all been transported here; please move to take a look, I believe you won't be disappointed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan stepped forward, cupped his hands toward Zhang Jiu, pointed to the caravan behind him, and gestured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was the first trade of Drunken Immortal Brew, soap, scented soap, refined steel weapons, white sugar, and refined salt since their family re-negotiated with the Zhang clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they had to let them inspect the goods so they could be completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Nephew Su Boyuan, hello! No rush to inspect the goods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiu also returned the greeting enthusiastically: \"I heard long ago that Brother Brother Ziyan (Su Lie's courtesy name) had a good son who had already been recommended as a Filial and Incorrupt official! Today I finally got to see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come! Let me introduce you! This is my son, Zhang Liao, fifteen this year; you young people should interact more in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhang Jiu signaled Zhang Liao on the side to come forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liao also smiled and bowed slightly to Su Xuan: \"Zhang Liao, Zhang Zhang Wenyuan, greets Brother Su Boyuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhang Wenyuan, you are too polite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan also smiled and returned the greeting, then pulled Su Yi over to introduce him to Zhang Jiu and his son: \"By the way! This is my fourth brother, Su Yi; if I don't have time in the future, he will likely be in charge of trade with Bingzhou;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-Yi, greet Brother Zhang Wenyuan and Uncle Zhang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yi hurriedly bowed slightly to Zhang Jiu and Zhang Liao: \"Su Yi greets Uncle Zhang and Brother Zhang Wenyuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Nephew, please rise quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiu hurriedly helped Su Yi up, looked at him, and clicked his tongue in wonder: \"I really envy Brother Brother Ziyan! Four sons, I've seen three, and they are all extraordinary; I imagine the remaining one is the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, you overpraise us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan and Su Yi both smiled modestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Jiu and the others first inspected the new goods and tasted the white sugar, refined salt, and Drunken Immortal Brew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tested the refined steel weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiu praised them endlessly: \"All good things!

I didn't bring enough this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mainly because I wasn't sure if it would be to your liking, Uncle; since you like them, we can trade more next time; just give me a number, and we will prepare with all our might;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiu nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty percent was already quite a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Su Xuan continued: \"Previously, I mentioned in my letter that we don't want money this time; we want to exchange everything for warhorses, fur, wool, and even cattle; this is no problem, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha!
