The rising sun in the east outlines the golden silhouette of the mountains; the cold wind sways the snow like clouds, crossing the top of the mountain, a touch of gauze is like a girl's flowing long hair.

Zhang Ping'an greedily admired the masterpiece of nature's beauty; Chen Pie and the others also stopped cutting down trees at this time, and looked at Zhang Ping'an surrounded by golden light with worship.

Zhang Ping'an cursed with a natural roar: "Look at it... don't you have to do your job? If you don't finish it today, you will have no food to eat!" Zhang Ping'an's brothers waved their axes frantically at this time, and quickly pushed the big tree rolling down the mountain.

Zhang Ping'an said to his brothers: "I'll go down and think about things first and make some thoughts. You're done, I'll announce something." Seeing that the brothers think he did this, Zhang Ping'an looked around and turned around and left.

When Chen Poe and the others came back from work, the cave was filled with charming aroma of wine. Zhang Ping'an and Yang Erhua were cooking wine with fire. Perhaps this was what Zhang Ping'an said to purify the wine.

At this time, Zhang Ping'an said to Yang Erhua: "I have taught you all the methods, you just do it. Without professional tools, it's just like that. Everyone is back. We have dinner. The elder sister of the Yang family gives everyone the meal. We are still the same rule, and everyone is talking while eating."

Yang Erhua and a young woman named Zhu Yan took a wicker basket and distributed noodle cakes to the men. Due to the sufficient food, the man's main esophageal tube was full. When he saw everyone wrapped in mutton with noodle cakes, he put the soup on it. Zhang Ping'an ate the mutton: "I originally thought that I would not go far this winter, but we didn't have many soybeans; if there was no vegetables, we would get sick soon, so we would have to go out for a few days. If there was no men at home, including the Xu brothers, we would have to go out for this trip. We would get silver and prepare dry food. Chen Pie and Zhang Li were responsible for weapons. Bow and arrows and horses."

Zhang Ping'an took a sip of the soup and continued, "Tomorrow we will kill two sheep, the eldest sister of the Yang family will make dry food for ten days, the fence is ready, everyone will prepare their own tomorrow. Four days later, we will set off to Guangning to buy the heads of the Jurchen Tatars for the Ming Dynasty's official army."

Seeing everyone's expression of surprise but understanding, Zhang Ping'an said: "If you go to the Ming Dynasty and want to leave, I will never stop you; you know more than me how our Ming Dynasty court treats deserters."

At this time, Zhang Li interrupted: "Boss, don't worry, I don't know about others, Hu Ming and I will follow you anyway."

Li Chen put down the mutton in his hand and quickly stood up to confess: "Brother Chen and I will definitely follow you!"

Huang Zhi also stood up: "We two brothers have no place to go. Besides, there is not as good as food in other places, and we can still eat every meal!"

Wu Tianxing confessed urgently: "Boss, don't think I'm stupid. Kill the Tartars and don't pull me down!"

Zhang Ping'an stopped Lu Deyin's statement: "Since everyone trusts me, I will talk about our route first; we will go south in a few days, from the edge of the Korqin tribe in Mongolia to the Duoyan tribe; after going east, from the Khalkha tribe and the Duoyan tribe to the southeast, and trade with the Ming army near the Daling River. Chen Pang is responsible for bringing gold, Zhang Li and Hu Ming are responsible for the way to explore, and the heads of the Tatars are responsible for the brothers Huang Zhi and Huang Wei; Lu Deyin and Xu brothers are responsible for dry food and supplies. Li Chen and Wu Tianxing are responsible for the rear! Everything in the family is taken care of by the elder sister of the Yang family! If there is any shortcomings, everyone will give suggestions." Seeing everyone nodding, they did not say anything.

Zhang Ping'an nodded: "My rule is: First, follow the command of all actions! Before I make a decision, I can make suggestions. After I make a decision, I must implement them unconditionally! Second, in the action, whoever I specify in charge, others must obey the orders. Third, if a brother is injured in the action, others are not allowed to abandon it! This is an iron law! Fourth, our brother's life is the most important. At the most critical moment, other things, even gold, should be thrown away! Fifth, when trading with the Ming Dynasty's official army, you must be as guarded against them as against the Tartars. They cannot fight the Tartars, but they are better than anyone else's! After trading with the official army, don't stop and come back immediately! Before we leave, we will explore the vicinity of this place. The purpose is to prepare a more retreat for the women in our family. Okay, let's talk about what we want to buy from the Ming army."

Zhang Li suggested: "In addition to soybeans, tea bricks and salt are also needed."

Zhang Ping'an nodded: "Tea bricks are good things, so I won't buy salt. Three miles east, there is rock salt on the rock wall. I licked it when feeding sheep before, and it is very purity. I also brought the armor and seals of Baiboyala and sold it to the government army, so that our price will be even higher."

Lu Deyin asked at this time: "Brother, do you want to buy* again?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded: "You should buy a little, but not too much. We have saltpeter here, right on the way we come. You can buy more sulfur."

Chen Pie pointed at the weapon: "You want to buy some arrows and arrows."

Zhang Ping'an nodded again and said, "When we came back, we killed Burigude and Qiu Wushen! We forced Uncle Wang and Uncle Li to join the gang. Uncle Li probably had no big problem. Uncle Wang is too timid and wouldn't come if he didn't force him to a dead end. There are Uncle Sun and Uncle Tong in the brick kiln. If we force them all over, we will have no problem protecting ourselves! I originally wanted to take them over after the beginning of spring, but it seems that we have to go ahead. That's right, let's buy more iron materials!"

Wu Tianxing interrupted at this time: "As there are too many people, buy some fabrics and cotton."

"It's right! I have to buy some silk!"

Lu Deyin was very puzzled: "Brother, I seized ten pieces of silk from the Tartars last time, and it was enough for women to make clothes. Why did you still buy it?"

"Who said that silk is used to make clothes for women? Silk is used for men who go out for us. It is used to make underwear. It is easier to take out the underwear made from satin. The arrows made from satin are shot into the meat. You are right. From tomorrow, the eldest sister of the Yang family will make us a few close-fitting underwear, making it with at least five layers of satin. Then take two new white cloths to cut it into one foot wide and one foot and a half wide, ten feet long, steam it over fire for half an hour, then dry it, and put it in separately. Tomorrow, Zhang Li and I will go around to investigate, and Brother Chen Po helped to change the chain mail and cotton mail to the small five pairs of small."

Five days later, Zhang Ping'an walked south with a group of brothers, a total of twelve, and forty-five horses.

Zhang Ping'an on the horse's back talked to Yang Erhua and the others: "You must also prepare dry food. If there is any accident, you run deep into the cave. Zhang Li and I have marked the route with ropes. We have left you with wine bags at the exit of the road. You will go there tomorrow and store the dry food for every three days. When an emergency occurs, you will walk by the rope. At the end of the day, you will cut the rope ten feet behind, so that those who pursue you will go in the wrong way. Remember! No matter when you are at the moment, each of you must bring a knife. Take the ladder at the entrance of the cave every night. Don't panic when you encounter problems, don't let things go, and keep people. If you don't recover from the illness, don't care about it. If you can run more, just run more. Remember! Remember! You must wait for us to come back!" Tears poured out from the women's eyes. Zhang Ping'an turned around and chased Lu Deyin and the others.

Zhang Li and Hu Ming rewarded each five miles in front of him, and Zhang Ping'an and the others walked very quickly. Five days later, Zhang Li reported that there was a yurt fifteen miles ahead. Zhang Ping'an looked at it and there was a big pit in the southwest snow field. Zhang Ping'an pointed with a horse whip: "It's almost the hour of You, we're spending the night there. It's dark, let's go and check it out. You go to Hu Ming and let him stare first. We'll go later. Dear silver, we can't make a fire tonight. You and the brothers of the Xu family will be guarding the house at night."

"Don't worry, it's okay for me to have here!" Lu Deyin nodded.

They didn't ride horses, and after walking for more than an hour, they saw Zhang Li wave to them. Chen Pi nodded and whispered: "No one is around here!"

Zhang Ping'an whispered to Zhang Li: "How is the situation?"

Zhang Li replied in a low voice: "Just just now, brother Hu Ming touched in. There were twenty-three Mongolian Tartars, from the Korchin tribe. In the seven tents in the northwest corner, there seemed to be many Ming escaped slaves. Three were patrolling, eight Tartars in the south, nine were drinking in the north. There were three in the largest tent, probably harming women. He heard the cry of several women. There were no dogs."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, the situation is very detailed! What do you think of Brother Chen Pang?"

Chen Pie said: "Boss, you have plans in your heart. Make up your mind and let's do it with you!"
