"Then it's settled." Empress Dowager Su Tai said with a smile.

She beckoned to Alatan Ullah and said, "I've seen Master Dong soon." ”

Alatan Ulla didn't protest, but his attitude was not very respectful, he sat firmly on the horse, just bowed and said to Master Dong. He can also speak Chinese, but he is not fluent, and Dong Ce didn't understand these three words. His voice was also very nasal, like a large bell buzzing.

Dong Ce didn't care, he could see that Alatan Ula was extremely respectful and obedient to the Empress Dowager Sutai, since it was something ordered by the Empress Dowager Sutai, he must not have implemented it with much discount.

As for his attitude towards himself, at least Dong Ce doesn't care now, as long as he can follow orders.

About an hour later, the elites of the Chahar Department rushed back one after another, and none of them took the silver and did not come back.

Dong Ce nodded with satisfaction, Empress Dowager Su Tai said a few more words, and then the two teams set off and rushed towards the location of the Khan Tent of the Chahar Department.

Dong Ce and the Empress Dowager Su Tai did not go together, Dong Ce took his family to walk in front first, and more than ten miles behind, the Empress Dowager Su Tai led the elite of the three hundred Chahar Department to follow. In this way, the two teams do not seem to have much to do with each other, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion from others. Dong Ce could actually swagger back to the Chahar Khan's tent with these three hundred people, but in this way, this matter would not be hidden. The nobles of the Chahar Department will know, and the Ming Dynasty generals who came to Dacaotan with Dong Ce will also know that this matter cannot be concealed and will be exposed sooner or later, but Dong Ce still decided to hide it for a while, at least after everyone leaves Dacaotan before publicizing this matter.

Dong Ce is worried that although Liu Ruozai acquiesced to him doing this, if this matter is publicized, it is still easy to cause dissatisfaction among many people. Perhaps, Liu Daqi, Wang Wuluo and others will think: Why can you get 300 elites of the Chahar Department, you can get 500 war horses, why can't I? If they get up and think differently and cause some kind of trouble, then they will be in trouble.

It should be unlikely that they will come to Dong Ce's trouble, but they can ask for trouble with others—for example, asking for some manpower from the Chahar Ministry.

There have been many such things in history, where one side of the force surrendered to the other side, and then, the powerful forces sent people to surrender to one side began to extort, ask for all kinds of benefits, and force the side that has surrendered to rebel!

Dong Ce didn't want such a thing to happen because of himself.

What Dong Ce thought was that after leaving the sweat tent of the Chahar Ministry, he would not be able to hide this matter when he saw it, so he would say it again. Anyway, they had already left here at that time, and even if they tried to knock a stroke on the Chahar Ministry, they couldn't do it, so they could only cry out in vain. Even if Liu Daqi and others are unwilling, there is nothing they can do.

In the evening of the same day, Dong Ce and the others returned to the place where the sweat tent of the Chahar Department was located. And the Empress Dowager Su Tai and others took his men to live in a small tribe some distance from the sweat tent. This small tribe also belongs to her, she first placed the three hundred elite tribesmen here, so that it would not be easy to be discovered, and when Dong Ce left, she would hand over these people for Dong Ce to take with her.

She rushed back to her station overnight, this time to search for Roman horses.

Because Dong Ce proposed to her that he would buy an additional three hundred war horses from her and take them with him when the time came. Of course, it is bought according to the market price, which will not make the Queen Mother Sutai lose money. Three hundred war horses is nearly 10,000 taels of silver, which is a big deal, with this income, it is enough for the Empress Dowager Su Tai to do a lot of things, she is naturally very concerned, and hurried back to prepare.

After returning to the location of the sweat tent, it was already evening, Dong Ce didn't care about eating, so he began to arrange people to keep vigil and so on, and after finishing these, it was already dark.

finally started eating, but as soon as he ate half of it, Liu Ruozai sent someone to invite him over, Dong Ce wiped his mouth, and hurriedly followed the person to Liu Ruozai.

"My lord, my subordinates are here!"

Dong Ce came to the outside of Liu Ruozai's tent and said in a deep voice.

"Come in!" Liu Ruozai's voice came from inside the tent, and Dong Ce opened the curtain and walked in.

When Dong Ce entered, Liu Ruozai was sitting behind a big case, with a brush in his hand, as if he was writing something.

His tent had been refurbished, and the last time they left, the original tent had been removed. It can be seen that the tent arranged for them by the Chahar Ministry is more careful than before, and in Liu Ruozai's big tent, there is only a huge table, and the table is full of all kinds of scrolls and books. These books were basically brought by himself, and he was lying there very seriously at this time, so Dong Ce stood aside very interestingly and did not disturb him.

After standing for a while, I was afraid that it would take a full quarter of an hour for Liu Ruozai to raise his head. His expression was full of exhaustion, and he looked at Dong Ce and said, "Are you here?" ”

Dong Ce nodded: "My subordinates just had dinner, and they hurried over after receiving an order from the adults." ”

"Empress Dowager Sutai, you brought them all here? Where are they settled now? Liu Ruozai asked.

Dong Ce said with a smile: "A total of three hundred people and five hundred horses have followed. There is a small tribe not far away, and that small tribe is also under the Empress Dowager Sutai. ”

"It is better that some people may not do anything when they see it."

Liu Ruozai nodded: "You think quite thoroughly." ”

Dong Ce hurriedly humbly said: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Liu Ruozai pointed to the stack of papers in front of him and asked, "Do you know what I'm writing?" ”

Dong Ce could actually roughly guess something in his heart, but he just shook his head and didn't know what to say.

Why bother at this time? Hiding is not necessarily a bad thing?

"What I'm thinking about now are some things that we need to prepare when we trade with them after the Chahar Department moves to the Xiashui Sea in the future. There are terms, there are goods that need to be traded, and even where the opening is located, I have thought about it. ”

Dong Ce was silent for a moment and said, "My lord, you are sincerely doing things for the country, if we had more loyal ministers like you, we would not have ended up where we are now." ”

Liu Ruozai smiled lightly and nodded at him: "You, you're just thinking too much." What is the current state of our Daming? The official looked at it, and it didn't even count as internal and external troubles. There is Liaodong Town, and the Jiannu in the northeast can't get in, and these rebels in the heart of the heart don't have any climate, and it takes two or three years to almost wipe them out. ”

"Yes." Dong Ce didn't think so, but he nodded, not arguing with Liu Ruozai about this issue.
