Chapter 29 Who loses in this deal?

"Ok?"

"Appoint my father as your godfather?"

Lu Bu nodded subconsciously and was about to introduce his abilities.

But Ye Feng's head was shaking like a rattle.

Are you kidding? In history, has anyone who was recognized as Lu Bu's adoptive father ever had a good ending?

Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo both died at the hands of Lu Bu, the "rebellious son".

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Bu is the "adoptive father" killer of the Three Kingdoms period.

Now he acknowledges his father as his godfather and becomes his brother with different surnames. Isn't it clear that he is going to start a new plot?

"Brother Ye, what do you mean? Am I wronged for being a master general and recognizing your father as my foster father?"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu was even a little unhappy.

Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Zhang Liao also felt a little confused.

After all, in their view this was a good thing. They could get a powerful general who was as strong as Zhao Yun for free, thus killing two birds with one stone.

But they had no idea what Ye Feng was thinking.

Perhaps because he felt that his performance was too intense and made Lu Bu lose face, Ye Feng quickly explained: "Brother Lu, don't be angry, I mean it's unnecessary."

"With our friendship, we can still exchange it with other things if we don't have money."

Lu Bu's expression eased slightly.

After all, he is a general of heaven. If he took the initiative to propose to be recognized as his father and become sworn brothers, who would refuse?
Didn’t he see Zhang Liao standing by was extremely envious?

"What will you exchange it for?"

"You also know that the north is a bitterly cold place, lacking everything. I think it's better to just now."

Before Lu Bu could finish his words, Ye Feng interrupted again: "The army should not be short of weapons, right?"

Lu Bu didn't understand for a moment, and nodded subconsciously: "Of course!"

"Among the thirteen states in the world, only Bingzhou has a complicated situation. There are trades and transactions with the Xiongnu, but there are also battles, so naturally, military equipment is indispensable."

"What do you mean, Brother Ye?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "You can exchange it for weapons."

"Whether it's old or brand new weapons, I will buy them back at a price 30% higher than the market price and exchange them for what you need. How about that?"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and a gleam of light flashed.

There are so many old and scrap weapons in the army. If we can recycle them and buy some "Thousand Day Drunk", refined salt, scented soap, soap and other things, we can make money in the north and satisfy our own food desires. Isn't it great to kill two birds with one stone?

"Brother Ye, are you serious?"

Ye Feng nodded and smiled: "Brother Lu and I are of the same mind, so it's okay to suffer a little loss."

"Those weapons that can be used will be used by my caravan guards. Those that cannot be used will be directly recycled and turned into farm tools and sold to ordinary people."

"You will definitely have no worries about where to go, Brother Lu, don't worry."

In fact, Ye Feng's explanation was a bit unnecessary.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, corruption was rampant, the people were displaced, and countless bandits turned to banditry.

No matter which business it is, it definitely has a lot of private soldiers. Otherwise, wouldn't all the gold and silver in the house just attract the attention of bandits?
Therefore, Lu Bu understood all this and did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, Lu Bu had already been moved by Ye Feng's sincerity. He felt that he and Ye Feng had very similar personalities.

"Brother Ye."

"I think we should become sworn brothers and trust each other for life and death from now on."

Ye Feng felt a headache. Why the hell couldn’t he get through?
Feeling Lu Bu's eagerness, Ye Feng felt dizzy: "No, no, I can't handle the alcohol." "Wenyuan, give half of your 'Thousand Days Drunk' to Brother Lu, and I'll make up for it when we get back."

"Zilong, Junyi, help me leave."

Until Ye Feng went away, Lu Bu looked at his back and said with a sigh: "There are not many people as generous as Brother Ye these days."

"If I could become his brother, I wouldn't have to pay for alcohol for the rest of my life."

Before Lu Bu finished speaking, he felt Zhang Liao looking at him strangely, so he quickly said with a serious face: "Brother Wenyuan, don't think too much. I definitely don't want to be my foster father for this little profit. I just have the same temperament as Brother Ye."

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu with disdain and said, "I remember that Brother Lu only became interested in it after he tasted the Thousand Days Drunk and knew the price. I don't know."

Lu Bu's face flashed with embarrassment, and he walked out of the pavilion and said loudly: "Brother Wenyuan, I have important military affairs to attend to. Let's load the car quickly. When we return to the army, I will have someone deliver the weapons."

"I will definitely not let Brother Ye suffer any loss. I will specially select a batch of excellent weapons and send them to you."

When Zhang Liao heard this, he curled his lips and stopped mocking.

He knew the purpose of Ye Feng wanting these weapons, so he would not refuse such a good thing.
In the next few days, in addition to training as usual, Ye Feng accompanied Cai Yan shopping in Mayi City.

In this kind of daily companionship, the relationship between the two naturally improved rapidly. Except for the last step which failed, they had all the intimacy they should have.

Six days later, the weapons sent by Lu Bu finally arrived.

After inspection, it was found that most of them were sophisticated weapons, and some were not even opened.

It is much better than the old stuff my father made in Zhongshan Ordnance Department.

Ye Feng, Jia Xu said that this deal was worth it.

Two days later, accompanied by Zhang Boping, Ye Feng returned to Jizhou with Jia Xu, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, as well as 1,500 war horses and more than a hundred carts of military equipment.

Five days later, the caravan arrived at Yanmen County, Bingzhou. Originally, Cai Yong and his daughter were going to follow Ye Feng to Zhongshan.

But Cai Yong had already accepted the court's appointment to serve as an official, so he had to go south to Luoyang.

Secondly, he naturally knew what Ye Feng was going to do.

As Ye Feng's future father-in-law, how could he not consider his son-in-law's future?

It is easy to become an official if you have someone in the court. This is an eternal law.

Outside the city, Ye Feng and Cai Yan expressed their true feelings to each other and had a private conversation, needless to say.

Cai Yong, who was standing aside, looked at his daughter with red and swollen eyes, and looked at Ye Feng with a look that was both angry and helpless.

"Fanzhi, if the court had not urgently summoned me, I would have arranged a marriage with your father."

"Although the matter has been postponed, please remember not to let my daughter down, or I, an old man, will not let you go."

Ye Feng nodded repeatedly: "How can I let down a beautiful lady like Yan'er who is so beautiful, charming, and sensible?"

"In fact, I would say there is no need for Uncle Cai to go to Luoyang. He can live well in Zhongshan."

Cai Yong shook his head: "The chaotic times have not yet arrived, and anything is possible."

"Although Han Fu let you go, there are still people watching you. Everything is uncertain. Without anyone in the court, you may face a catastrophic disaster one day."

"If the world is really in chaos, where can it be safer than Luoyang?"

Ye Feng did not refute: "It's a long journey, I'll let Zilong escort you personally, there will be no worries."

"When we get to Luoyang, Zilong will know how to arrange the servants at home."

"Uncle Cai, let him make all the arrangements, and you won't have to worry."

Cai Yong nodded and got on the carriage with Cai Yan.

Zhao Yun followed suit and mounted his horse, clasping his fists and bowing: "My lord, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your mission."

After saying this, he escorted the Cai family father and daughter southward with 30 carefully selected guards.
