More than a thousand craftsmen were apprenticing, and Ling Yun never saw them again after they got on the boats of Dan Xu and his family on the banks of the Suoshui River. However, Ling Yun was too lazy to care about these things. With the two craftsmen, which one was not the richest man in their respective states, the joint arms deals of the seven families should not be underestimated. Xu Gai naturally dared to rob the Zheng family's workshop and rob the Zheng family's craftsmen, so naturally there was a place to properly resettle without any hiding. There were many more than a thousand people gathered together, but the seven families' workshops were divided into one, and the family only had a hundred people, and a few boats and carriages took the people away. There were about a hundred people hiding in the underground workshop of the valley manor. With the power of each family, it was too easy to simply.

Lingyun, the workshop of Qijia, represents that the Tiger League and the Gaojia also have 20% of the shares, but Lingyun only cares about the dividends in the future, but will not care about how to operate them. At most, when the weapons are smuggled and sold to the north in the future, it is enough for him to contact the buyer to help arrange the route.

Ling Yun did not refuse the six sets of equipment and one hundred stagnant of money for the fifty cavalry that attacked the Zheng family workshop. He was not short of this money, but if he didn't take it, then Sima Dekan, Qin Qiong, Wang Bao, Wei Bao and others would definitely be embarrassed to take it. Ling Yun gave the five adopted sons one set in his name, which made Luo Shixin and the others very happy. Although he was not many years old, he could not wear it even if the weapons were given, but they were all very happy. Ling Yun also generously resigned and rewarded the escorts who followed him this time.

When Yuchi Jingde first arrived in Erxianzhuang, Cheng Yaojin and Su Lie were a little bit disliked by him because he was black and a blacksmith, and he was unwilling to be like his brothers. As a result, Hei Tantou was directly beaten up the four righteous brothers and directly subdued the people with boxing. Cheng Yaojin, the eldest of the four children, was only ten years old, so he could beat Yuchi Jingde, a thirteen-year-old blacksmith. However, after Jingde taught the four children a lesson, he immediately gave each of the four children.

He gave him a dagger he had beaten himself, and then gave him a few dates, and immediately pulled the little brothers together. Ling Yun saw all this, but he did not interfere. These were all the children's house plays, and sooner or later there would be such a process. However, he was a little surprised and admired Jingde's method of fighting first and then pulling. The black charcoal was not exactly as thick as it was on the surface, but it was still a thick and thin one.

Ling Yun took the character Jingde for Yuchi Gong in Xingyang that day. When he returned to Erxianzhuang, he was lazy and took the character for the other four guys. Cheng Yaojin's original name was Yizhen, but Ling Yun took the character Zhijie directly for him, took the character Dingfang for Su Lie, got the character Dingfang for Luo Shixin, got the character Shoucheng, and Xu Shiji's name Maogong.

After returning to Erxianzhuang, Ling Yun began to prepare for the matter of continuing to go north. He spent a lot of time in Erxianzhuang this time and gained a lot. He met a group of powerful men and collected some interest from Prince Yang Yong. In addition, he received the adopted sons and Wei Zheng who was abducted, Ling Yun was very happy. However, the trip to the north was also very tight. Sima Dekan had urged Ling Yun several times. News had already been heard from the court that the matter of conquering Liao had been officially put on the court agenda and would send troops north at any time. Ling Yun needed to rush back to the northern border as soon as possible.

Some arrangements were made before. The candidates for the commander and generals of the Liao Dynasty had been agreed upon. Yang Guang cleverly pushed King Yang Liang of Han to the front of the stage. The final candidate was indeed Yang Liang and Wang Shiji as the marshals of the marshals, Gao was the chief of the marshals, and Zhou Luo was the general manager of the navy, and prepared to send 300,000 troops. Among them, 120,000 soldiers were 180,000 soldiers and 120,000 soldiers of the 120,000 soldiers of the war, 30,000 naval troops, 30,000 horse troops, and 60,000 infantry. Most of the troops recruited the soldiers and soldiers from Hebei, Hedong and Huainan, and were all elite soldiers of the Sui army.

According to Pei Li revealed the news from Yangzhou to Lingyun, after Yang Guang took the initiative to ask for the war, Yang Jian considered letting Yang Guang take charge, with Yang Su as the commander of the marching, and Shi Wansui as the marching Sima. He Ruobi was the chief of the navy, and planned to advance 500,000 troops on the water and land, directly flatten Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo. This lineup is the most ideal and luxurious lineup in Yang Jian's mind. However, after several barbarian rebellions in Lingnan area were reported, the alarm was reported.

, with Yang Su making suggestions in the court, Yang Jian had to give up the idea of ​​letting Yang Guang lead troops to fight. Yang Jian asked Yang Guang to continue to sit in Jiangnan to stabilize the southeast. In the end, he chose the son Yang Liang, who was the favorite and closest to Liaodong, as the commander, and then chose the Shangzhu King Shiji as the marshal of the army, and then the most trusted important minister, Shangshu Zuo Pushegao, as the military supervisor. In terms of the navy, Zhou Luo, the former navy general of the Southern Chen, was also selected as the general manager.

When he heard this news, Ling Yun knew that the first time the Great Sui Dynasty conquered Liao, he was about to follow the failed trajectory in his memory. And it was time for him to set off and continue northward.

Early in the morning, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai came to Lingyun Courtyard one after another. Cheng Lou saw Lingyun, Jingde and Wei Zheng playing the swaying Tai Chi together, and said directly: "Brother Jiu, our brothers have agreed to go north with you tomorrow."

Ling Yun knew that these people were going north to develop their business. To put it bluntly, they were going to smuggle. They must not be too relieved to cooperate for the first time. They had to take a trip in person and set up the route. At the same time, taking this opportunity to send Ling Yun north can also be regarded as strengthening their relationship.

"Okay, there will be companions on the road." Ling Yun was naturally happy to go north together. In fact, after arriving in Northern Xinjiang, he had some preliminary thoughts in his mind. However, he had to wait until he arrived in Northern Xinjiang to see the details. Taking Dan Xu and his family together to go north together, it would be fine for him.

"Well, this time it will be very lively. The kids from our families and a few young ladies are going together." Shan Xiongxin said helplessly. His parents died early, his brother died early, and his sister at home has not yet been married, but he is usually very powerful. In the past, he was very crazy with Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan's sister, and he had no rules. Last time he went to Xingyang, he became more and more courageous, and this time he had to follow the north. Shan Xiongxin became used to his sister, so he had to agree. As soon as he agreed, Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan naturally had to agree.

In this way, Ling Yun was only about 30 people when he came. When he left the north again, the number of people grew more than ten times. The newly joined seven powerful families including Shan Xu, including Lai Liulang, Shubao, and Dou Jiande from Hebei, as well as their families. Everyone was like a tour group in the early summer north, and it was very lively. Ling Yun had no say in this, and it was even more impossible to deny it. Anyway, this team is so luxurious, with officials, rivers and lakes, and local forces, so there is no need to worry about trouble on the road.

"This time we are the support of Brother Jiu. We will do our best to help you successfully take over the Tiger League and the Gao family. After Brother Jiu takes over, we think that we will get the best of Brother Jiu, buy some manor fields or ranches there, and start a few workshops and shops there, and then we will have to take care of Brother Jiu." Xu Gai said with a smile. The old fox is smart. Although the Tiger League is not as good as before, it is also a great force in the north, especially occupying the key points of Yanshan outbound. If Lingyun can really take care of them, they will buy industries there openly and secretly open some workshops and shops there, which will greatly facilitate smuggling business. Several of them are local snakes in Henan, but once they arrive in the northern border, they will be authentic outsiders and must be protected by Lingyun.

Xu Gai went north this time to explore the way, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes whether Ling Yun, the acting leader of the Tiger Alliance, could truly control the Tiger Alliance and how much he could control it. Only after he could make the overall arrangements with confidence. If Ling Yun could really master the Tiger Alliance completely or roughly, he would consider expanding the smuggling business, and even moving the underground ordnance business directly to the north. At that time, the workshop was directly built in the north, collecting skins, horns, tendons, and ore from the outside of the frontier, and then transporting the iron from the south, making weapons on the border, and then smuggling them out of the frontier for sale. In this way, the troubles and dangers of transportation of materials and finished ordnance products on the way northward will be saved to the greatest extent.

"If the brothers really have this plan, it will be good. No matter what, I will take care of you." Ling Yun said with a smile. He was very interested in this proposal. When several forces go north, they will definitely choose to cooperate with them first. They can help them, and their forces can naturally be used by themselves. This is mutually beneficial.

Su Yong smiled and said to Ling Yun: "Old Cheng and Lao Luo and Xu have all agreed. Since our boys have worshipped Jiu Ge as their adoptive father, we plan to let them follow Jiu Ge in the future. Along the way, the little bastards were thrown to Jiu Ge, and when they came back from the north, they would stay there. Jiu Ge is capable, Yun Wen can be martial. Today I realized that Jiu Ge is not only skilled in martial arts, but also under the Longmen King Daxian Hefen, and those boys were thrown to Jiu Ge for discipline."

They all knew that Ling Yun brought back a senior brother from Daihai Temple, the Wei family of Julu. The Wei family of Julu is like the Zheng family of Xingyang. Although they are all powerful people like the Shan Xu and others, they are more famous for being passed down from classics, a scholarly family and aristocratic family. Although the Shan Xu and Su Cheng families are also powerful people, they do not have such a gentry background. Wang Tong in Hedong is one of the most famous masters of this era. It is quite amazing to be able to become his disciples. No matter what they can learn, the identity of Wang Tong's disciples alone is a huge resource. Look at Wang Tong's disciples, almost all of them are children of the gentry. Their children are still young, and even if they grow up, they may not be able to join the Wang family. It would be better to just let them follow Ling Yun and learn martial arts and literature, and they can be considered disciples of the Wang family in the future.

"If you really want them to leave their side and come to me to suffer at such a young age, I have no objection. But if you agree in advance, it may be very hard to follow me. I will be very strict with my demands, and they will spoil their sufferings, and I will not pay attention to it." Ling Yun said seriously.

Xu Shiji paused, and finally gritted his teeth, "Leave the child to you, no matter how you teach it, it will naturally be up to you!"

Looking at the guys who looked like they were selling their sons, Ling Yun couldn't help but curse the shameless old fox in his heart. He gave the children to him, just to discipline him by himself. But can he really raise them freely like a sheep? The children are the future heads of several families. If he can't educate them well, how can he have the attitude to face these sworn brothers? Alas, these guys have calculated that they can only help them educate their sons carefully. They just sit back and take it as a father to let go. Alas, these fathers!
