There was no natural barrier at the border between Taichu Dynasty and New Korea. There were only cities and fortifications built by Jin 'an and Taichu respectively. There was only a gap of dozens of miles between the two sides. In the past, there were constant conflicts between the two armies. Although no major war broke out, small-scale battles were not rare..

After the new King Han Linfu accepted the title of vassal king from the Taichu Emperor, the two sides became like a family for the past five years, and there was not even a single major conflict..

Yuling Pass is located in the middle of the border between Taichu and New Korea. It is the largest pass on the western border of Taichu Dynasty. There are 100,000 Taichu soldiers and 40,000 Qinghe troops stationed here. It is also the most important passage for trade and personnel exchanges between the two dynasties..

The other two passes of Taichu were located in the south and north, where 50,000 Taichu soldiers and 30,000 Qinghe troops were stationed respectively. Even in peacetime, because there was no natural moat to separate them, Taichu Dynasty stationed a considerable number of troops in the west..

Facing Yuling Pass in the distance is Donglin Pass of New Han Dynasty. The fortifications on New Han's side are five passes, which are more and more magnificent than Taichu Dynasty. These were built by Jin 'an Dynasty in its prosperous period, so they are more wealthy than Taichu Dynasty..

Old Mo was a merchant who traveled between Taichu and New Korea. A few years ago, he and three fellow villagers of New Korea formed a caravan together. At the beginning, it was dangerous to travel between Yuling Pass and Donglin Pass. If there was a conflict between the two sides, he might lose his life..

Old Mo and the others were lucky. They didn't encounter any major crisis. At that time, the goods were also in short supply. As long as they could be safely delivered, they could sell them at a high price. Although it was dangerous, they lived a good life..

The current Old Mo was no longer as glorious as he had been in the past. At this moment, he was sitting in Yuling Pass, basking in the sun with a worried expression. He smoked his cigarette from time to time. Suddenly, a person walked up to him and said," Brother, are you a businessman doing business on both sides?" The other party's voice was naive and did not sound like a smart person. Old Mo raised his head and said angrily," Are you blind? Can't you see that there are so many goods beside me?" Besides, those who stay in Yuling Pass are either merchants or military masters. Who else comes here?.

At this time, Old Mo also saw the appearance of the person who came. This person looked to be in his twenties. He was just like his voice. He was also very simple and honest. He had a harmless smile..

The honest young man was pleasantly surprised and said," That's great. I met a merchant just by asking. I heard that merchants at the border make a lot of money. I want to do it too. Brother, can you take me with you?" Old Mo picked up his cigarette and took a deep puff. He exhaled a white mist and curled his lips. He sighed and said," Kid, where did you hear this news from? It's all old history. With the current market, let alone making a lot of money, it's difficult to support your family.".

The honest young man was a little shocked, frowned, and said with an incredulous face,"Brother, don't lie to me, I walked thousands of miles before I came. We all said that this business makes money.".

Old Mo was unhappy this time, his face drooped, and his eyes widened as he said,"What are you talking about? I don't have anything to lie to you about. I'm old Mo, I'm upright. Since you don't believe me, don't talk to me anymore. Get lost!" The honest young man saw Old Mo angry and quickly smiled and said,"Big Brother, I don't believe you. We all say that. I came here to smash the pot and sell iron to earn more money to go home and marry a wife. You know, Yingzhou is too chaotic now. It's not easy to earn some money..

When Old Mo heard this, his face softened and he said,"Boy, now that the border is peaceful, you Taichu people all come here to do business. Now things can't be sold at a good price even if they are transported there. Many of my old friends can't go back to their hometown to seek other livelihoods.".

"I don't want to do it now, but I have no other ability. I can only make a living. If you want to make a lot of money, don't do it. Go back as soon as possible.".

"Old Mo has some melancholy..

The simple and honest young man hesitated when he heard this. He did not speak for a long time. It seemed that he was in a dilemma. Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind and solemnly said,"Brother, I still want to do it. If I go back, I will also be bullied by the government. Food and clothing will be a problem.".

The young man took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and stuffed them into Lao Mo. Lao Mo pushed the young man away and frowned and said,"What are you doing?" The young man sincerely said,"Brother, I can see that you are a good person. Can you take me this time? I want to learn. This is my tuition fee..

Old Mo waved his hand and said,"Hurry up, this is not a good business, it is not easy to go out, you quickly keep some money, I will take you a trip, in case you don't want to do it, go back and have some money.".

The young man excitedly said,"Brother, you are really a good person. I am really lucky. I met you when I first came.".

The old Mo waved his hand and stood up and said,"I just happened to have enough rest, and we will start, and we will be able to reach Donglin Pass before dark.".

He then began to pack up the goods. The young man immediately wanted to help, but he was stopped by Old Mo. Thinking about the young man, he gave up. After all, he was a stranger. Old Mo could not completely trust himself..

The two of them walked out of Yuling Pass and chatted as they walked. They each introduced their own backgrounds. Old Mo introduced the border merchants to the young man in detail. The young man also asked Old Mo a lot about the border. Old Mo told him everything he knew. He knew a lot about various things at the border. The young man nodded repeatedly..

This simple-looking young man was Gu Xifeng, who had come to check on the border in disguise. It was not a coincidence that he found Old Mo, but the best candidate selected according to intelligence..

According to Old Mo, the citizens of New Han Dynasty were not much stronger than Absolute Beginning. Han Linfu was also recruiting soldiers, causing the people to suffer. However, a large number of soldiers were not stationed at the border with Absolute Beginning, but at the border with Xiyao Dynasty. Now, just like Absolute Beginning and Dongxia, the relationship between New Han and Xiyao was like fire and water..

As the deputy commander of the Seven Kills Camp, Gu Xifeng naturally understood this. He felt that Han Linfu was not that simple and must have some hidden scheme..

Donglin Pass wasn't very strict with the merchants entering Taichu. Old Mo brought Gu West Wind into the Pass easily..

After entering Donglin Pass, it was already late. Old Mo took Gu Xifeng to find a clean and cheap hotel to stay in. The two of them opened two rooms and went back to their rooms to rest after eating some simple dinner..

：.

After returning to his room, Gu West Wind adjusted his appearance a little. His originally simple and honest face became a little more military. After checking in the copper mirror for a while, he was satisfied and left the hotel through the window..

Donglin Pass curfew is very strict, at night only patrol soldiers can not see a pedestrian.

Gu Xifeng hid in the darkness and completely avoided the sight of the patrolling soldiers. It was not until he arrived near the New Han Dynasty garrison camp that he revealed his whereabouts..

He pretended to be sneaky and looked around. After a while, he was discovered by soldiers patrolling the military camp. A group of soldiers immediately surrounded him. After a little struggle, Gu Xifeng was captured by the soldiers and tied up. He was escorted to the central tent.

After passing word, a soldier who looked like a squad leader took him into the tent..

At this moment, there was only a short and fat general in the tent. This person did not have much dignity on his face, but appeared very approachable..

Gu Xifeng knew that this was Xuan Youyou, the guard general of Donglin Pass..

After seeing Xuan Youyou, the squad leader kicked Gu West Wind's knee. Gu West Wind knelt down without freedom. The squad leader bowed and said,"Reporting to Your Excellency, this kid was sneaking around the military camp and was captured by us. I suspect he is a spy.".

He said,"Now that the new Han and Taichu are friends, where are the spies?".

"Tell me, brother, what are you doing near my camp?".

"There's a lot of warmth in the tone, and there's no sense of ruthlessness..

Gu Xifeng replied without hesitation," Sir, I'm just a border merchant. I don't know that this is a military camp. I just got lost and came here by mistake.".

The captain said sternly,"Lord, this son is lying. He has martial arts and is definitely not an ordinary businessman.".

"Shut up," he said,"I'm going to talk to this little brother, when is it your turn to interrupt?.

The captain immediately shut his mouth..

Xuan Youyou looked at Gu Xifeng with a gentle smile and said,"Little brother, I hear your accent is Yingzhou, right?".

And he answered,"O Lord, I am a servant of the LORD.".

"Oh, please rise quickly. With the current relationship between our two dynasties, how can we let the brothers of the Taichu Dynasty kneel down? What nonsense!".

Xuan Dayou stepped forward and helped Gu Xifeng up. As he spoke, he glared at the squad leader. The squad leader looked aggrieved..

When Xuan Youyou helped Gu Xifeng up, something disappeared from Gu Xifeng's arms and appeared in Xuan Youyou's hands. Xuan Youyou held it in his hands and looked at it with a smile." So he's a brother of the Taichu Army. He even said that he's a businessman. He really likes to joke.".

He was holding a token representing a Taichu Armored Warrior, which Gu Xifeng had deliberately left behind. Gu Xifeng did not expect this guard general to steal things..

"Commander Wang is really something. If you want to know anything, just send someone to see it. Send brothers to Donglin Pass at night. Isn't this not treating us as friends anymore?.

"I have a smile and a sincere smile..

Gu Xifeng's expression was very ugly and he revealed a terrified expression..

Xuan Youyou immediately shoved the token back into Gu Xifeng's arms. He walked behind him and untied the rope. He then said kindly," Brother, don't be afraid. Our two dynasties are friends. Even if Commander Wang is not generous enough, I, Fatty Xuan, will not take it to heart. Stay here and rest well. I will let you go home safely tomorrow morning.".

Ignoring Gu Xifeng's incredulous expression, Xuan Dayou said seriously to the squad leader," Find a clean place for this brother and send him out of the city tomorrow morning. If you dare to neglect him, I won't forgive you!" Although the squad leader was confused, he still respectfully accepted the order and brought Gu Xifeng out. He found a tent for him to stay in and specially arranged two soldiers to guard it. In the name of protection, he was actually monitoring him..

Gu West Wind always felt that Xuan You had a knife hidden behind his smile. He was always on guard, but nothing happened overnight..

Early the next morning, the squad leader sent Gu Xifeng out of the city and spoke politely..

Old Mo did not see Gu Xifeng when he woke up in the morning. He looked around for a long time, but he could not find him. Although he was puzzled, he could only give up..

Gu Xi Feng barged into the camp at night to see the attitude of the New Han Army. Even if the New Han Army was against him, he was confident that he could escape. However, the experience of this night left him confused. Was this the reason why the two armies could coexist peacefully?
