Chapter 110、Either give money!

Shi.

This is an important town outside the Guan, a place where the merchants and deserts of the Zephyr Empire and some nomads barter. Some of the goods transported from the customs are also unloaded here, and naturally relevant partners come to pick up the goods. Transporting the goods safely to Shimen Town is the end of this trip.

"Take a trip to Shimen Town, wear gold and silver and drink wing soup. ”

This proverb is enough to explain the large transaction volume and high profit in Shimen Town.

Shimen Town is an independent town, with no village in front and no store in the back. Standing alone among the Gobi.

Although it belongs to the Zephyr Empire, it is not under the control and protection of the Empire's border army. Merchants from all over the world gathered here, which also supported the prosperity of this isolated town. Three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons. It's hard to imagine that the old man who slumbered in the corner is an Imperial felon, and you certainly don't know that the clever young man is a flower thief----

The town of Shimen has a huge arched gate, which is made of three huge stones simply stacked together.

It is said that it is the handwriting of the border guard Lu Scissors hundreds of years ago, Lu Scissors guards the border pass with the realm of idle clouds and high quality, and when facing the strong enemy of the desert, the knife splits the Qingming Mountain to take three large stones, and builds this stone gate, and says: The desert enemy dares to cross this gate one step, I will kill it.

When those desert cavalry saw these three simple but magnificent stone gates, they hesitated again and again, and the whole army retreated.

Shimen Pass was named after this battle, and some people established the town after the pass, and there is the current Shimen Town.

Today is not a good day, the autumn style is cold, and the sand and dust are exceptionally thick.

Between the wind and dust, the long convoy marched towards Shimen Pass with difficulty.

The caravan composed of dozens of carts is neither large nor small, and it is not a big deal for the people of Shimen Town, who are accustomed to seeing big scenes.

However, to their surprise, the convoy of dozens of carriages saw only the horses and the goods behind the carts, but there were no grooms and stewards.

"What's going on? Why hasn't a single living person been seen?"

"Hahaha, I've only seen people selling goods, but I've never seen horses doing business----- can these horses still collect some money after handing over the goods?"

"I must have encountered sand thieves, and none of the people in the caravan escaped----- but why didn't the sand thieves rob the goods? Could it be that the dog has changed his way of eating?"

------

The first horse pulled the wagon into Shimen Pass, and then dozens of carts entered the pass one after another.

From the back of the line, a large black horse came out.

On horseback sat a young man, one man and one sword, and rushed over with a whole convoy.

The young man has black hair and black face, and he is dusty. The clothes on his body are no longer recognizable in their original color, and they look dirty.

A few idlers wanted to find out the way, but before they could get closer, they retreated with shocked faces.

The smell of blood on the young men was so strong that they wanted to vomit.

Li Muyang dragged the reins of the head horse and led the convoy into Shimen Square in Shimen Town.

He glanced around, ignoring the guidance and discussion of others, and shouted hoarsely: "Who will pick up the goods from the dart of the Wanli Dart Bureau in Guanzhong?"

In the crowd, several men wearing leather jackets and hats came out.

They rode large horses, carried bows and arrows and slashed horses#, and these people looked like nomads on the steppe.

The bearded man at the head stared at Li Muyang with wary eyes, and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

"I'm Li Muyang, a friend of Gan Yang, the dart head of Wanli Dart Bureau----- who are you?"

"This batch of medicinal herbs is what we want. The bearded man said in a deep voice, "You are Ganyang's friend, where is Ganyang? And the steward and his men? Without their paperwork, how can we hand it over?"

Li Muyang reached into his arms, took out a piece of paper, and said, "I'll hand over the goods to you, and you give me the silver ticket." We settled the money and goods, and then the two sides drew a pledge on this contract----- which I got from the steward. ”

The bearded man looked at the contract and said, "What about them?"

"Dead. Li Muyang said.

"How did you die?"

"Killed by sand thieves. ”

“-------”

After listening to Li Muyang's words, everyone talked about it.

Some sympathize with the game and the stewards, and some condemn the sand thieves for their repeated atrocities.

The bearded man pondered for a moment and said, "I'll show you the contract." ”

Li Muyang handed over the contract.

The bearded man took the contract and tore it up with a 'hiss'.

"We don't do this business. The bearded man said. He looked at Li Muyang with a smile and said, "It's not a familiar person, we don't know the bottom of our hearts when we start business, what if the goods are not the right version? What if the medicinal materials you send are inferior? Otherwise, how did you transport them, how can you transport them ----back?"

Li Muyang looked at him expressionlessly, waiting for him to continue to say no.

Sure enough, he still has a postscript.

The bearded man was a little uncomfortable with Li Muyang's calm expression, but what he should have said still had to be finished.

He looked at Li Muyang and said, "You said that the dart master and steward of the Wanli Dart Bureau were all killed by the sand thieves, who are you? How did you get here? How did you get this batch of goods?"

"As I said, I'm a friend of Ganyang. ”

"Friend, you're not a sand thief, are you?" said the bearded man coldly.

As soon as these words came out, all the people in Shimen Square unsheathed their swords, ready to rush up and slash at any time.

They are all merchants, relying on this Shimen Square to eat, if any sand thieves dare to come here to make an idea, it is to rob them of their jobs and cut off their wealth. They are desperate to fight with them.

Li Muyang's expression was still indifferent, and he was not moved by the beard's deliberate anger.

He glanced at the confetti on the ground and said, "It's all to earn a bite to eat, why bother? In order to deliver this trip, all the thirty-two dart masters of the Wanli Dart Bureau died, and the steward and six of the men also died---- these were exchanged for their lives." It was also the last time in their lives that they were able to earn a little money for their families. You give me the money, and I give you the goods. Let's settle the bill, okay?"

The bearded man was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "I said, I can't take this goods." We desert people are the most affectionate, I said who to trade, then I have to trade with whom, never break my word------ in case you are a sand thief, you kill people and rob goods, and take the money from me? I am worthy of my partners? I am worthy of those dart masters of Wanli Dart Bureau?"

"What do you want?" Li Muyang asked, looking at him.

"It's what you want. The bearded voice said coldly, "First, you can send this shipment back." Where it came from, and then back the way it came. Or transport it to your sand pirate base. Second, you can give me this shipment and we will renegotiate a price------"

This is blackmail.

If you follow what he said, you will transport this batch of medicinal materials back. Not to mention whether there will be any dangers on the road, whether you can survive or not, even if the road is damaged, I am afraid that it is also an astronomical amount----- at that time, what profit will there be from this batch of medicinal materials? Where does the money for medicinal materials come from? Where does the money come from? Where does the money come from?

As for what he said about giving him the goods and re-bargaining, that is, to rob while the fire is hot.

They were sure that Li Muyang would not be able to transport this batch of medicinal materials back, so he could only ship them out of this Shimen needle. In addition to them, presumably other families will not come to grab this batch of goods with him----- so that he will casually give the other party a little money to send away, won't he pick up this large amount of goods in vain? You know, medicinal materials are rare things, and when they are transported to Loulan City in the desert, they will be worth a hundred times.

"What if I don't agree with either of these two?" Li Muyang said aloud.

The bearded man and many of his companions laughed loudly, he looked at Li Muyang and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Why do you all want to force me?" Li Muyang took the Tongtian Sword from his waist and muttered, "Why do you all force me? Those sand thieves forced me, so I killed them all." Now you're going to force me -----."

Choke-------

The sword was unsheathed, and the bright light shone on the eyes of everyone in Shimen Square.

The bearded man's face was gloomy, and he asked aloud, "You said----- you killed all those sand thieves?"

"Yes. Li Muyang looked at the bearded man and said, "I killed those sand thieves, as well as their people-----"

"You --------" the bearded man clearly didn't believe it. Li Muyang is only one person, and he is so young, even if he starts practicing when he is breastfeeding, how much ability can he have?

He knew what the sand thieves were capable of, and he knew the scale of the sand thieves. Even if it is just to exterminate a group of people, it will take great power to be able to do it.

"I'm not used to explaining to others-----," Li Muyang raised his sword flat, looked at the bearded man and said, "Either give me money or give me death." ”

“------------”

Guanzhong. Wanli Dart Game.

The old dart head sat on the ground weakly, holding a large box of silver in his arms, his eyes were dull, and his voice was weak: "It's all gone, it's all gone--------"

Dilapidated courtyard.

A woman sat on the bed and was dressing, and when she heard the sound of footsteps outside, the wrinkles on her face stretched out, and she shouted happily: "Ryoko, Ryoko is back--------"

After a long time, an unfamiliar voice said: "I'm not Ryoko, I'm Ryoko's friend------ he has a dart to send, let me send you something." ”

Li Muyang walked to the bedside and put a bag of gold coins into the woman's hand.

"Liangzi's friend?" the woman looked at Li Muyang with a puzzled face and asked, "Where is Liangzi?"

"He went to -------- Gangnam. Li Muyang turned around, his voice was hoarse, and tears slid down his face. He was tall and walked outside, and said: "He said that his father had been to Jiangnan, and said that it was the most prosperous and wealthy city----- and he was going to rush over with a long dart team to take a look." ”

"Liangzi --------," the woman wailed sadly.
