So the woman showed pain. She knew too much about this brother who was dependent on each other, so she said, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Zhenglei shook his head without thinking, "I can't say this, if I say it, something big will happen."

The woman couldn't help but burst into tears.

The child next to him seemed at a loss for some reason why his mother suddenly felt so sad.

Chen Zhenglei's face was like an iceberg, and no emotion was revealed. He only looked at his sister steadily. After a long time, he said: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen, it's just... he's going to leave here for a while."

"Why did you ask?" the woman said in tears.

"This is called raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while." Chen Zhenglei said calmly: "What's more, how can you not go? This is an opportunity! We depend on each other, and it is the main body that feeds us. We must live. Relying on the Chen family, we siblings, will naturally survive in this world. No matter what, we can live a better life than ordinary people. But... if we want to live better than others, we should put more effort than others. The Chen family's rice cannot be used to support people."

The woman nodded and actually expressed her agreement.

In recent years, the atmosphere has changed.

With the rise of the Chen family step by step, whether it is close or distant relatives, they have gained a lot of benefits because of the Chen family's identity, but at the same time, there has also been a trend of despising idleness within the Chen family.

Most of the Chen family have experiences in Zheng County and Lanzhou. All of these two places are trying to sharpen people's will. Even the woman and her husband have done some small business because of her relationship, mainly supplying some raw materials to the Chen family. Although they can't make a fortune, they are still doing well.

Everyone knows that maintaining the Chen family means maintaining one's own livelihood.

Chen Zhenglei seemed to have nothing to say. After sitting for a while, he stood up and said, "Sister, don't worry about the days I've been out. Live a good life. You can keep the money."

"I'll save it and get a wife for you." The woman took the money docilely.

Chen Zhenglei seemed to have thought of something and said, "In the past, when we were so hungry that our chest was pressed against our backs, my sister secretly saved food for me to eat."

Speaking of this, he smiled, but his eyes could not hide himself, so he turned his head aside.

Then he said, "Okay, I have to leave, and there are still some things to do."

"Yeah." The woman was silent, without saying anything more, and reluctantly sent Chen Zhenglei to the door.

Hu Nu in front of the door hurriedly saluted Chen Zhenglei.

Chen Zhenglei walked out of the door and turned around to look at the woman: "No need to send her off, let's go."

The steps were rushing, and in a short while, the person had already gone far away.

The child insisted on his mother to hold him, while the woman picked him up and leaned against the door to look at each other from afar. Even though Chen Zhenglei's back had already disappeared from the bustling streets and alleys, he still refused to retreat to the house.

The child opened his eyes and looked at the direction the mother was staring, and said in a silence: "Mom, who is this person?"

"It's your uncle."

"Uncle...Uncle..." the child chuckled while giggling.

…………

Three days later, another secret letter was sent.

Then, a person from the Chen family arrived here and began to explain some matters.

Immediately afterwards, a truckload of supplies had been prepared and delivered.

Chen Zhenglei summoned everyone and briefly assigned their respective tasks, and everyone understood the purpose of their trip.

At this time, no one raised any objections, everyone just listened silently. In fact, during the three days of holiday, everyone realized that they would go deep into the tiger's den.

After being mentally prepared, everyone started to change their clothes and then had a new identity.

As the leader of this trip, Chen Zhenglei became the Chen family envoy to Dashi on this trip. Many of the supplies of this car were gifts to Dashi, hoping to repair them with Dashi, and offer them a great gift to express their respect for Dashi.

The merchants of Dashi have also been contacted. This person is a little involved with the Dashi Palace. Of course... they don't expect this person to be able to match the Dashi people, but just to bring messages to the Dashi people.

The current Dashi period is during its expansion period, constantly fighting, facing north, confronting Eastern Rome, and eastward, constantly eroding the Persian territory, and westward, advancing Egypt.

The great cannibal at the peak of his life was full of confidence and like a hegemony.

It is obviously reasonable for the states to be respectful of them and send envoys to ease relations and repair some of the past unhappiness.

After receiving heavy bribes from the Chen family, the big food merchant set out first.

In addition, the Persians had learned some information. At this time, Persia was eager to make peace with the Chen family, hoping to obtain assistance from the Tang Dynasty to Persia through the Chen family and resist the great cannibalism.

Therefore, they are happy to provide some necessary help to the Chen family.

After the Chen family captured Gaochang, the countries along the Western Regions all had more or less awe of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them had a cooperative attitude.

It can be said that this plan is not just a simple task to send Chen Zhenglei's troops. The manpower and material resources required to be used, as well as various resources, are countless.

Including the aristocratic races, people were also sent to serve as guides.

Therefore, when the group actually set out, the size of the group reached more than 130 people.

Chen Zhenglei and others arrived at the station with a large number of things. The steam locomotive first took them to Gaochang, and then... they rushed to Chechi, Dayuan and other countries without stopping.

Then... they will arrive in Tochar, enter the border of Persia from Tochar, and then enter the Great Food from there.

It was obviously a long journey.

Of course, to some extent, it is not slow.

Because all the itineraries have been arranged and arranged properly, they just need to travel day and night. Along the way, there will be merchants on the Silk Road and officials from various states to help them handle all kinds of trivial matters.

If you are an ordinary businessman, such a journey may take half a year.

But for people like Chen Zhenglei, it only took three months.

They rode their horses and drove their cars, and they were all the way, and they were dusty, and they never relaxed.

The countries I passed along the way did not take time to negotiate. The other party seemed to have already agreed that such a group of people appeared, and they would pass the test and release them all, and even prepare some wine and food.

Of course, they don't drink alcohol.

Two months later, when they arrived in Persia, the Persians who had received the news were surprised, because it was obvious that this speed was twice as short as the Persians had expected.

The Persians obviously did not expect that these people's itineraries would be so fast.

After a short rest, news came from Dashi that Dashi King welcomed this Chen family mission very much.

It is actually understandable that the cannibal sends such a signal.

In other words, this was already expected by Chen Zhenglei and others.

During the rise of Chen's family in the Western Regions, the Great Cannibal had long paid attention to it through merchants. A large number of specialties from Hexi were also very popular with the Great Cannibal.

At least... people admit that there is such a country that is just too far away, so they have not yet developed a covetous desire.

Now the other party sent an envoy to present a gift. For the King of Dashi, this was just a sign of Chen's kindness and surrender.

If someone comes to surrender to you and give you a big gift, can you still drive people away?

So, half a month later, the team began to pass the level.

And what was in contact with was a team of cavalrymen.

These cavalry looked at these strange-looking people curiously, and then began to search all the supplies of the delegation as usual.

Obviously, they were still a little worried about the Chen family.

Then, they found that there were a large number of cowhide tents in these baggage, but they didn't know what it was. The cannibal obviously did not understand this.

In addition, there are some daggers and swords for self-defense, of course... these are also harmless for the cannibals.

They even found a large number of bottles and jars, which were filled with black powder. These big cannibals looked up and asked Chen Zhenglei murmuredly: "What is this? Is the food?"

Of course Chen Zhenglei would not tell them that this was gunpowder, but he still nodded.

He is very knowledgeable about some great phonics, of course, these languages ​​are limited to simple communication.

Of course, the most common thing in this baggage is a large amount of exquisite porcelain, as well as many gold, silver and jade.

The cavalry of Dashi looked at these rare treasures greedily. Of course, they knew that this was a gift to Dashi King and that they could not covet.

In fact, for them, there is not much difference between this group and other group groups. Although they also bring some strange specialties,... the group is like this.

After searching and even finding a large number of short guns, the Big Pirates held the exquisite mechanical thing with a puzzled look, looking left and right, and Chen Zhenglei told them that this was also a gift for the Big Pirates King, and this thing... is an ornament.

The Dashi Cavalry nodded and expressed their agreement, because the craftsmanship of this short gun was obviously ingenious and exquisite. They could recognize crossbows and bows, but they really couldn't understand such a thing.

So... after confirming that the other party had no other intentions, and then Chen Zhenglei gave them a gold nugget, the Dashi Cavalry was already smiling.

They were obviously happy to carry out this mission.

At this time, the great cannibals had just defeated the 50,000 army of Eastern Rome and had expanded to Damascus. Not only that, it was obvious... these great cannibals were even more coveting Persia at this time, so the capital was established in the area of ​​Baghdad, which is not far from Persia.

What Chen Zhenglei had to do during the process of moving forward was to confirm his intelligence and ensure whether their judgment of the cannibalism was wrong based on the customs and customs he saw along the way.

Of course, occasionally he would have chatted with the Great Food Knight who escorted them.

These Dashi Cavalry who received gold obviously did not have much warning, which made Chen Zhenglei inevitably master a lot of useful information.

After walking for a few days, Chen Zhenglei realized that the problem was not as simple as that.

On that night, he summoned a few confidants and discussed: "From the information, a problem arises, that is, the current King of Great Food is not inherited, but is elected by the leaders of their tribes and elders in the sect. Even if we hold the King of Great Food hostage, we can certainly intimidate the world, but these nobles and elders are afraid that they will not be able to ask for it. They can continue to recommend a new King of Great Food, so... if they want them to throw themselves into trouble and let them hand over the people of Xuanzang obediently, they will not only take down the King of Great Food."

"After half a month, it is a festival for the Great Cannibal. At that time, many nobles and elders will enter the Great Cannibal Palace to celebrate. At that time, you must take at least a large number of people before you can succeed."

Obviously, the difficulty of the task has increased again, and catching one person is different from catching a group of people.

And then, the escorts must have been more stringent.
