Now is the warmest time of the day, and the howling north wind has temporarily stopped, and the entire prairie has become quiet and peaceful.
As the people and the horses got a short rest, the spirits of the people became full again.
The caravan was advancing very fast, the owner of the car was waving his whip and beating the horses desperately, and the wheels rolled straight to the northeast.
Duan Wuji is in a good mood now, thinking to himself: This time, if you want to sell horses again, maybe the house will be built. I have worked hard for three years, and I should practice martial arts with peace of mind. These buckets of rice have been running around.
The caravan walked very fast, and when the sun was about to overtake the mountain, the caravan ran out for more than a hundred miles.
At this time, the stopped north wind picked up again, and the snow on the ground was blown up again, and the difficult journey began again.
Duan Wuji saw it and shouted loudly: "Brothers, work harder! Now we are only a few tens of miles away from the Qingcaotan settlement. Let's try to get to the Qingcaotan settlement before the lights are turned on. Tonight we don't have to It's a crime to camp out here."
At this time, the caravan found swimming sheep and cattle.
Swimming flocks of sheep are like white clouds floating on the ground, sometimes mixed with the white snow on the ground, it is not very clear.
The flowing cattle and the galloping horses are swimming in this desolate prairie, illuminated by the afterglow of the sun, they are both beautiful and desolate.
Suddenly, two steeds rushed over, and the herdsmen on the horses greeted each other all the way.
"Hey, is this the boss's caravan? Why did you come here?"
After hearing this, Duan Wuji quickly broke his horse and ran over.
I saw two Turkic people in their twenties running over happily.
Duan Wuji reined in the horse and took a look.
Seeing that the two Turkic people didn't know each other very well, Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Both of you, are you from that Qingcaotan resident? I am that Duan Wuji!"
The two Turkic people laughed and said: "I know, I know, Duan Xiashi, you don't know us, but we know you!
? Last year at the alliance meeting with Golden Horse City, you outshone all the others in art, which made our Qingcaotan settlement look good.
Isn't this, since last year, our place has never paid tribute to the Golden Horse City, so we will be rich all of a sudden?
I heard that Wanyan Zhabu, the lord of the Golden Horse City, gave our Qingcaotan settlement 3,000 good horses and 2,000 fat cows at the beginning of this year. Excuse me, do you think we can be unhappy?
In fact, everyone knows that the alliance was all due to the efforts of you and your brother. If you two hadn't stood up for us in Qingcaotan, if we wanted to win the Jinniu City, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky. Who doesn't know a little bit! "
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Anyway, it's fine if our Qingcaotan settlement wins this time, as long as people live and work in peace and contentment, it's better than anything else.
Hey, two, how far is this place from our Qingcaotan settlement? "
"Oh, it's not very far away, at most it's more than 30 miles away. If you hurry up, you'll be there in a while."
Duan Wuji was very happy to hear that.
"You two, please be busy first, we will go there first, if you have time, let's chat together."
After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji slapped his mount and chased after his own caravan.
After a while, Duan Wuji caught up with his caravan.
Duan Wugao shouted loudly: "Brothers, work harder, we are still about 30 miles away from the residents of Qingcaotan, we must go faster, and try to reach them before the lights are turned on." Where we live, so that we don't have to suffer at night."
When the owner of the cart heard that there were still thirty miles to go, he immediately beat the horse desperately, and the wheels rolled and ran straight forward.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and patches of red fire clouds reflected the prairie red.
The returning birds sang and found their nests in the grass. The prairie has regained its short life.
When the sun was pressing down on the mountain, the caravan had already seen a tent not far away.
When Tie Niu saw it, he said excitedly: "Look, everyone, isn't that a tent not far ahead? We'll be there soon, let's work harder."
Everyone listened and looked forward, and they were indeed in frontnbsp; "Three little brothers from the Han family, don't be too polite. There are Wuji and Tieniu here. We can talk about everything. Last time, these two little brothers helped us a lot in the alliance with Jinniu City. He is the great benefactor of our Qingcaotan settlement.
Do business with you, don't worry, we will treat you sincerely. "
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Yelv Sidu, let's not talk about this for now, this year you can tell me how much money you have for a horse. Let's talk about it and let's have a good deal tomorrow!"
Yelusi glanced at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji, to tell you the truth, these horses were bought for thirteen or forty taels of silver, or for eight or nine taels of silver. Just a little more than eleven taels of silver.
Promise, how about these horses worth eleven taels of silver? "
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Yelu, we are all businessmen, I think this is the way to go, I will exchange my little goods for you for six thousand horses, and you will give me two fat cows for free, you can do this Is it?"
"Wuji, what do you want these two cows for? Is it for farming at home?"
Duan Wuji laughed and said, "What's the use of me? Passing through the pass of the Great Wall, the soldiers guarding the pass wanted to get two cows to eat meat. We often passed by them, so we had to agree to their request.
Old man, promise me this request? "
Yelusi laughed out loud.
"Okay, let's take a small loss in this business, let's do as you say, anyway, we can't suffer a big loss in doing business with you, we still have to make money.
Promise, we will start counting the goods tomorrow, and we will count the horses the day after tomorrow. How do you think this is going to be? "
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old man, I think if we finish counting the goods tomorrow morning, let's count the horses tomorrow afternoon. The shorter we stay with you, the less trouble you will suffer, old man, you Say I'm right?"
After hearing this, Yelusi laughed and said, "Wuji, don't you think I'm too stingy? I can still afford to eat a few bites.
However, since you have said so, well, let's do it according to your plan.
It is true that the sooner the business is done, the better, so the profit may be higher.
Yelu Chucai, you can find a few more people tomorrow, let's try to count the goods tomorrow morning, and let's count the horses in the afternoon. "
Yelu Chucai nodded.
"Well, dad, don't worry, I'll arrange these things."
Yelusi looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, I have also collected a group of fine horses in the Golden Horse City. When do you think you will buy them?"
Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Master Yelu, how many horses do you have in Jinma City?"
"Not many, maybe more than 7,000 horses."
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Well, it's quite a lot, but, Mr. Yelu, it's not that I'm timid, think about it, last time we met, I defeated Batulu from the Golden Horse City, Can they not resent us?
Therefore, next time we trade again, let's choose the place where we trade at the border between our two countries, so that we will be somewhat safer. How about this?
However, when you are transporting horses to the border, it is best for you to keep some secrets. This will benefit both of us. The next time we come to trade horses, we will only exchange your 3,000 horses for the first time. .
As for how many horses I want from you next time, how about we send someone to contact you at that time? "
Yelusi nodded after listening.
"Okay, let's make an agreement like this, I will personally send some horses to the border for you when the time comes.
Well, it is indeed a bit dangerous for you to go to the Golden Horse City, so we better not take this risk. "
It wasn't too long, and the few people were full, Duan Wuji stood up and said to Yelusi: "Master, we are all full, we went back to the room early to rest, you should rest first."
After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji led his brothers back out of the main room. Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, arrange the personnel on duty and let's rest. After all, tomorrow is quite busy."
After hearing this, Tieniu asked: "Brother, how many groups do you think we should be on duty?"
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Does this need to be said? It is divided into three shifts, with more than a dozen people in each shift. Tell the rest personnel that they are not allowed to take off their clothes. Everyone rests with their weapons in their hands. have you understood?
By the way, the driver of the car also told them not to take off their clothes, so as not to have time to get dressed again if something happens. "
Tieniu listened and nodded.
"Brother, don't worry about this matter, I will arrange it. I will tell them to be vigilant."
Duan Wuji listened and nodded.
"Okay then, go and make arrangements, and hurry up and go into the house to rest after the arrangements are made."
After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji took the lead to walk to the room where he used to live. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)Tell them not to take off their clothes, so that if something happens, it will be too late to get dressed again. "

"Okay then, go and make arrangements, and hurry up and go into the house to rest after the arrangements are made."
