"This one?"
Old Man Yang was a head shorter than Zhang Zhongjian. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhongjian. Although he still had a warm smile on his face, his eyes were shining brightly. His muscles were bulging, ready to attack at any time.
"Haha, Old Master, I'm sorry. This butler of mine is a little paranoid.”
Yin Shisan burst into laughter and hurriedly flashed out from behind Zhang Zhongjian. While talking, he sized up Old Man Yang and was secretly amazed.
This person had a good physique at his age. He looked like a young man in his thirties. It was unbelievable.
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. When you're out, it's better to be careful.”
Old Man Yang looked deeply at Zhang Zhongjian, then grabbed Yin Shisan's wrist and led him to the second floor of the wooden building.
The bearded man who had come with Yin Shisan and the others led Zhang Zhongjian and the Turkic youth to the second floor.
The second floor of the wooden building was a spacious hall with a living room in the middle. There were two armchairs and a square table facing the door. On the left was the dining room, and on the right was the study.
Yin Shisan and Old Man Yang were in the study, while Zhang Zhongjian and the Turkic youth were invited to sit in the living room.
The Turkic youth didn't say anything and behaved obediently. However, Zhang Zhongjian didn't bother to sit down. Instead, he stood at the door and looked at the mountain outside in a daze.
In the study, Yin Shisan looked at Old Man Yang." Mister Yang, I didn't expect to see a member of the Central Plains in the Turkic territory. It's an honor to meet you."”
"You're welcome." Old Man Yang said," Our branch migrated to Mobei a hundred years ago. After several twists and turns, we managed to survive in this small ravine. We barely managed to survive."”
Yin Shisan nodded and said to Old Man Yang,""I'll get someone to send the horse in now.”
Old Man Yang shook his head, saying that there was no need to send it in,"Let my men and the Turkic lad go and talk to them. Those people in the wooden tower at the entrance of the valley will know what to do."”
Yin Shisan smiled faintly. He knew that Old Man Yang didn't want his men to enter the valley to prevent any accidents from happening. Old Man Yang looked boorish, but he was actually meticulous. He was indeed an ambitious person.
"Sit down first."
Old Man Yang stood up and left the study for the living room. He gave the bearded man some instructions and then watched the bearded man and the Turkic youth leave. When he was about to return to the study, Old Man Yang deliberately glanced at Zhang Zhongjian's back and frowned before entering the study.
" More than a thousand horses. It's really expensive. Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask about their origins, but…"
Yin Shisan understood Old Man Yang's meaning. He shook his head and said,""It doesn't matter if I tell you. That horse was a gift from the Jie Li Khan to express his intention to temporarily stop fighting with the Central Plains. However, Ashina Suni wanted to sow discord and cause the Central Plains and Mobei to fall into war so that he could seize the opportunity to seize the Turkic regime. Thus, he exchanged 80% of the 2000 good horses and only kept 20%.”
Yin Shisan told Old Man Yang that his original intention was to release the eighty percent of the horses, but it was the Turkic youth who suggested sending them here.
"I saw that he was eager to repay his kindness, so I agreed and drove the horse over.”
"Hmm…"
Old Man Yang lowered his head and muttered to himself after Yin Shisan said this. Finally, he looked up at Yin Shisan and said,""Now, the Central Plains is in chaos, and there are many independent factions. I wonder who Mister Yin belongs to, or who Jie Li Khan wants to give those 2,000 horses to?”
"This…"
Yin Shisan was stunned. When he had explained earlier, he had deliberately made it vague. He had only said that Jie Li wanted to make peace with the Central Plains and had not mentioned which power it was because he was afraid of creating trouble.
If a smart person heard Yin Shisan's words, he would have known that he shouldn't have asked further. This Old Man Yang was definitely a smart person, but why did he ask?
"Are you deliberately stirring up trouble?" Yin Shisan's mind raced. He was already prepared to prevent Old Man Yang from hurting anyone at any time.
Zhang Zhongjian's ears twitched at the door of the living room. He had been listening to Yin Shisan and Old Man Yang's conversation. Although he appeared to be staring blankly at the mountain outside, in reality, all his attention was on Yin Shisan.
"Mr. Yin, don't worry."
Old Man Yang chuckled as if he could read Yin Shisan's mind. He explained,""Since our lineage has already left the Central Plains and lived in Mobei for a hundred years, we have nothing to do with the disputes of the Central Plains anymore. I only asked because I was bored and wanted to ask about my hometown.”
Old Man Yang's words stunned Yin Shisan. He carefully stared at Old Man Yang's eyebrows and found that his expression was lonely. He did have the feeling of a traveler missing his hometown.
It seemed that he was not lying.
"This one is the military advisor of the Great Tang's King of Qin, Li Shimin. The one that Jie Li Khan wants to ally with is our Great Tang.”Yin Shisan muttered.
"The Great Tang?" Old Man Yang muttered,"The Li family is Li Hu's descendant, right? They can be considered as old friends with my Yang family."”
Yin Shisan was stunned. He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Old Man Yang." Mr. Yang, may I know who you are…"
"Don't be like this."
Old Man Yang saw Yin Shisan's bow and hurriedly stood up to help him up. He smiled and said to him,""My ancestral home is Hongnong, a descendant of the Eastern Han Grand Marshal Yang Zhen.”
hiss ~
Yin Shisan sucked in a breath of cold air. After the Yang family of Hongnong and Yang Zhen of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was not the resume of Yang Jian and Yang Guang. This old man in front of him was Yang Jian's relative?
Swoosh!
There was a whooshing sound behind Yin Shisan. When the wind stopped, Zhang Zhongjian murmured,""We should go!"
Zhang Zhongjian was talking to Yin Shisan, but he was looking at Old Yang. His meaning was obvious. With him around, Old Yang would not have any chance to do anything to Yin Shisan.
"Haha, haha!"
Old Yang let go of Yin Shisan's hand with a smile and muttered,""I know what you're worried about. Logically speaking, I'm still the uncle of Yang Jian. However, my branch came to the North Desert a hundred years ago. Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, which has nothing to do with us. Now that Li Yuan has occupied Chang 'an and proclaimed himself emperor, it has nothing to do with me, a Yang.”
Yin Shisan was about to speak when Old Yang stopped him." However, you should really leave. I don't keep anyone here overnight. It will be dark in another four hours. If you leave now, you can still find the next village. Otherwise, you can only sleep in the mountains.”
Old Yang turned his back to Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian.
His intention was already very obvious. Send the guest out.
"Old mister, farewell!" Yin Shisan did not delay any longer. He cupped his hands at Old Man Yang and left with Zhang Zhongjian.
The two of them left the village and soon arrived outside the valley entrance. They saw the old sheepskin and the 100 guards eating and resting. There were only about 300 horses left in their team. The rest had obviously been brought into the village.
"Everyone, let's go!" Yin Thirteen said.”
