After escorting the food and grass back to the camp, Zhao Xin sued a leave to his master's father and slipped out. These days were spent on horseback and in tents. According to Zhao Xin's temperament, he had been suffocated. This time, he was like a fish in the water after taking a leave.

Although Mayi is a small border town, it is a very famous intersection of two completely different places. In the small and crowded markets, there are Hu people who go south to yell and sell fur horses, and Zhao people who go north to sell iron weapons from the mainland. Zhao State has always ignored this kind of private private transaction and allowed Zhao people to trade freely with the Hu people, rather than strictly blocking the sale of iron weapons and weapons like Qin and Yan State.

Zhao's tolerant attitude towards the Hu people not only made Zhao's profitable in trade, but also demonstrated Zhao's mentality of a great country. According to Zhao Yong's idea, Zhao did not have to worry about the Hu people learning their advanced culture and technology, but was very happy to see this. Only in this way can the Hu people feel close to Zhao and willingly integrate into the blood of the Zhao people.

Zhao's open mind also made the North land present a strange scene. On the one hand, Zhao State and Lou Fanlin and Hu were tense, while merchants between the two sides had frequent exchanges and exchanged their presence or absence. When dealing with these merchants, both sides tacitly chose to open up and facilitate them. Even when fighting, there were few attacks on these caravans.

Zhao Xin was in the market for a long time and was in high spirits. It was not until the sky got dark that he remembered that he had an appointment with Lian Po, so he looked for the seat that Lian Po told him.

Lian Po's home was not difficult to find. After asking a few people, Zhao Xin had already found it. He thought it was his first time to visit the house, so Zhao Xin bought some gifts at the market and brought them to him.

Lian Po was a lieutenant and was considered an intermediate officer in the Zhao army. His salary was not small, but the house was not spacious, just a small courtyard. After Zhao Xin asked passers-by, he confirmed that this was Lian Po's home and reached out to pat the door heavily.

After a while, the wooden door opened. A young man in his teenager poked his head out from behind the door. Seeing Zhao Xin's appearance, he was stunned and said suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

Seeing that the boy looked one or two years younger than him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyebrows looked very similar to Lian Po, he guessed that he must be Lian Po's son. He smiled with his hands behind his back, "This must be Lian Shi's nephew. I am your father's old friend. Just call me Uncle Zhao."

The young man was stunned at first, then he reacted, his little face tense and said angrily, "You... are you sick, who is your nephew? If you don't get out of here, be careful I will hit you."

After saying that, he lifted up his sleeves and lit his fists, trying to scare Zhao Xin. At a young age, Kong Wu looked powerful.

Zhao Xin was naturally not afraid, but just blocked the door with a smile and suddenly shouted loudly, "Brother Lian, younger brother Zhao Xin came to the appointment."

The boy hesitated for a moment, stopped his fists, stared at Zhao Xin with wide eyes, looking at him as if he was skeptical. At this time, Lian Po's heartfelt laughter came from the room, "So it's Brother Zhao who is here."

As soon as the words fell, Lian Po had already stepped forward. Seeing his son staring at the staring eyes and his face was astonished, he saw Zhao Xin smile with a smug smile. After thinking about it, he figured out the key. He was ridiculous and laughed. He pulled the boy and said to Zhao Xin with a smile, "This is a child's disease. He is usually careless and has no etiquette."

He then frightened his face and introduced Zhao Xin to Lian Ji, saying, "This is Zhao Xin, a good friend of my father, so why don't you give him a greeting."

Lian Ji saw that Zhao Xin was only a few years older than him, but he was one senior. Naturally, there were a million unwillingness in his heart, but he was afraid of his father. In desperation, he had to whisper reluctantly, "See Uncle."

Zhao Xin smiled and stuffed the gifts in his hand randomly and said, "The first time we met, we came in a hurry, and there was no good gift for you. These are some gadgets I bought randomly on the street, so I will be treated as a gift for you."

Lian Po quickly pushed it back and said, "How can you be so embarrassed? I'm the one who asked you to take the time to get a party. How can you still make you spend money to buy these things? Take them back and take them back quickly."

Zhao Xin laughed, "It's not a problem, it's all worthless things. The first time I come to the door, there's no reason to be empty-handed. Since you have bought it all, Brother Lian, please accept it generously, otherwise it's a mess."

Seeing that it was impossible to push away, Lian Po had to let Nuonuo's subordinates go, and his face felt a little uncomfortable. This time, Zhao Xin was willing to help him, so that he could guess the thoughts of his master and be aware of his father's thoughts in the future, and Lian Po was undoubtedly a big help to him. He invited Zhao Xin to the door to see that although Zhao Xin was young, his words and deeds were extraordinary. Judging from his identity, he thought that he would be a noble and noble family, and he would have something to do in the future. Therefore, he wanted to get closer to him so that it would be useful in the future.

If it were the former Lian Po, according to his arrogance, he would never lower his head to make friends with a young man who was nearly a generation older than him. But over the years, he was demoted to Mayi, and from a young age to uselessness, he had already tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and his mentality had quietly changed. He saw that although Zhao Xin was young, he was very righteous and frank, which was quite consistent with his Lian Po's appetite, so he had the intention of making friends and wanted to help him in the future.

After temporarily putting down the thoughts in his mind, Lian Po flashed away and said to Zhao Xin repeatedly, "Please" with a smile.

Zhao Xin followed Lian Po into the yard. Lian Ji naturally didn't want to get along with Zhao Xin, so he found an opportunity and went back to his room.

Along the way, I saw that although Lian Po’s home was not big and the utensils were quite old, they were very tidy. Although the courtyard was small, the layout was unique. There was an old locust tree in the middle that could protect the sky, which could shade the sun in summer and block the wind in winter. It was accompanied by bonsai and flowers all over the surroundings, which had a unique flavor.

This surprised Zhao Xin. He originally thought that Lian Po was just a rough man who could only lead the army to fight, but he didn't expect that he still had such taste. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lian Po for a few more times.

Lian Po suddenly didn't know that he was still just pulling Zhao Xin enthusiastically. When he arrived in the yard, he suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Xiaoyue, come out quickly, Brother Zhao is here."

A woman walked out of the house with a smile. She thought it was Lian Po's wife. He called Xiaoyue. Seeing Zhao Xin was stunned at first, her expression returned to normal and said with a smile. "This must be the little brother Zhao Xin whom my husband has been referring to for a long time. I didn't expect that you are so young, it's really rare."

Lian Po laughed, reached out to hold the woman's tenderness, and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate Brother Zhao, he has done a favor for the husband. If he hadn't made some suggestions, he would have been anxious and restless at this moment."

Xiaoyue knew that her husband had always been extremely energetic and had very few people who could get him like him. Zhao Xin could get his husband so much at such a young age. I think he had extraordinary abilities. So she put away the underestimation that he had developed because of his young age, and Yingying said with great blessings: "Thank you, my little brother, for your help."

Zhao Xin hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Brother Lian, you are so serious, I'm just a simple task, so it's not as exaggerated as you said."

"It's just a matter of time." Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head, her face showing a hint of helplessness.

"You little brother, you don't know that the most difficult thing in this world is 'a simple work'. My husband was proud of his youth, and he developed a domineering character based on his talent, and offended many Shangguans and colleagues for this. He has been so depressed over the years, and has seen people who are used to taking advantage of others and watching coldly, but there are very few people who are willing to 'a simple work'. Today, he has received your righteous help from your little brother. No wonder my husband is so happy. You can afford this for this."

Lian Po, who was standing beside him, looked at her with some resentment and said, "Today is the first time Brother Zhao has visited. I'm so surprised that no matter how you say these things, you are not afraid of discouraging others' interest."

Xiaoyue forced herself to smile and said to Zhao Xin apologetically, "I feel a little rude when I feel it for a moment. The wine and food prepared at home are about to be ready. I'll go and have a look. Brother Zhao invites you to sit in the house and drink some tea to quench your thirst."

Zhao Xin heard Lian Po’s wife’s words and demeanors, and she was not as elegant as her daughter from an ordinary family. She felt a little strange. Although she was nearly thirty years old, her hands and cheeks were slightly rough because of long-term housework, but her expression between her eyebrows and eyes was very gentle and gentle. Her three-point appearance and five-point gentleness appropriately covered the wind and frost of time on her face.

Although Zhao Xin was a little curious, since Lian Po did not speak, he was not easy to ask, so he had to put a lot of questions into his mind, thinking that he would ask again if he had the chance.

Having taken the seat, Xiaoyue presented tea to the two of them. Zhao Xin picked up the pottery cup and put it in his mouth and sipped it gently. He felt the fragrance was very different from what he usually drank. He looked at the few licorice in the water and said in surprise. "Sister-in-law, what is the thing you put in the water? The taste is so different."
