Chapter 1495: The Qin Family
However, he also diligently put away the copper coins and retreated, anyway, such people will not buy their own rice balls, and it is good to be able to sell some water money. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the carriage began to settle in the open space under the care of the coachman, more than a dozen strong men with swords and swords jumped out of the carriage, first scanning the crowd present, and then began to form a guard formation. Then two pretty maids stepped out of the carriage and laid a mat in the shade and laid tea and snacks.
It was only at this moment that a middle-aged man dressed in silk clothes with a proud and complacent expression got out of the carriage under the eyes of all the people.
Seeing this man's pomp, everyone present looked at it cautiously.
These country people thought they were powerful people, and they all bowed their heads nervously and did not dare to say anything, while those businessmen-looking people, after looking at the middle-aged man, pursed their lips disdainfully and started chatting.
Over there, a maid fanned the cold, a maid poured tea, and there were two door god guards behind him, and the middle-aged man who was sitting on the mat to rest, although he was dissatisfied with the merchants who didn't put himself in his eyes, he didn't say anything, and laughed with the two maids by himself.
"I said, brother, what kind of goods did you buy this time?"
A middle-aged man holding a fan to fan himself, looking dark and thin, wearing a short-sleeved open-breasted single shirt, walked over and stood outside the mat and said to the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes.
When this middle-aged man in Chinese clothes heard this, he first glanced at the middle-aged man in single clothes, and the corners of his mouth trembled, but he still said with a smile on his face: "There are no goods, it's just a dozen cars of Augustian Empire's specialties." The tone seemed to be very indifferent, but there was a hint of pride in it.
"A dozen cars? Okay, now that the empire is in civil strife, the empire's special output is worth money, and it will be several times the profit if it changes hands casually. Alas, I can't do it, I just got a cart of machetes. The middle-aged man in single clothes shook his head and sighed.
"Machete?"
The middle-aged man in the fancy clothes who was still smug immediately jumped up in surprise, and the people who heard this also looked at the middle-aged man in single clothes with a shocked look.
"Yes, if it weren't for the small cost, I wouldn't have to just get a car. Now, it's just that car, it's poor, and I can't even afford to change the car to a four-wheeled one. The middle-aged man in single clothes casually pointed to a two-wheeled carriage.
At this moment, a young man waiting for the horse in front of the carriage grinned, and lifted the curtain, revealing a handful of metal objects bound with straw inside.
Seeing what really existed in front of his eyes, everyone, including the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, was in awe. Although the Qin family did not restrict commercial activities, they strictly controlled armaments and materials like other princes, so the merchants who could trade arms were all great guys.
The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes didn't dare to underestimate this middle-aged man in single clothes who looked like a coolie now, and hurriedly welcomed him into the mat.
And which of the businessmen around him was stupid, and immediately leaned over to set almost, and after everyone reported the news, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes said to the middle-aged man in single clothes: "Big brother, since you are so powerful, why do you take an entourage out?" Not afraid of meeting a strong man? ”
"Hey, what a retinue, that's my bunny!"
The middle-aged man in single clothes smiled and said, "As for the strongman? Hehe, in the territory of more than a dozen princes in the past four weeks, who dares to touch the people of our Bright Moon City? ”
This was recognized by everyone: "Yes, the Qin family is famous all over the world, which of the princes in this vicinity does not act according to the Qin family's face, we don't need to bring guards to do business in these places, whoever dares to provoke us is tantamount to provoking the Qin family!" ”
Everyone responded in unison, with a kind of pride in their tones. It's no wonder that the Qin family is the strongest prince in this area, and they have always beaten people, and no one dares to ask for wildfire, which makes the people under the Qin family's influence a little arrogant.
"The eldest brother is right, but the arms trade is as far away as possible, is the eldest brother only going to do business with the nearby princes?" The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes continued to ask.
"Didn't I say you were so poor that you couldn't even afford a four-wheeled carriage?" The middle-aged man in a single coat drank the wine contributed by the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and smiled.
"Uh, then how do you ......"
Hearing this, the face of the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was not very good-looking, and he thought he had been deceived. Think about it, if it's really a powerful person, how can you not even have an entourage?
"Hey, wondering how I got my hands on the arms? I have a lot to take care of my brother, my brother is also a talented person, he was promoted by the blue-eyed above, and the brother has a little power in his hands, and he didn't forget my brother, so he got a note for me. The middle-aged man in single clothes said with a smile.
"Oh!"
Everyone who listened carefully let out meaningful voices, and their eyes showed a strange light.
Seeing everyone's eyes, the middle-aged man in single clothes showed a smug look, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I know what you think, do you want to go to the security station to tell the truth?"
"Hehe, my clan brother helped me get a * from the regular door, above board, and definitely did not violate the laws of the Qin family, otherwise would I still be so arrogant to spread around?"
"Huh? Where, how can we doubt it. ”
Everyone shook their hands awkwardly and said, everyone thought it was true, it was really out of order, and they definitely didn't dare to publicize it everywhere.
However, there are also some people who are more flexible, thinking that this is a deliberate confusion, so instead they confirm their determination to tell the truth, and if they make a mistake anyway, they will be sentenced to a few days of hard labor, and if they are correct, they will be sent themselves.
"It seems that the eldest brother has this brother to take care of, and he will definitely make a lot of money in the future. The younger brother still needs the eldest brother to take care of it, come, full. As he spoke, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes enthusiastically poured wine for the middle-aged man in single clothes.
A man dressed as an aristocrat stuttered a coolie, and this scene did not make the people around him feel anything strange.
Because, the merchants of the entire southeastern peninsula knew that the merchants who were able to trade in arms were all rich. Even if you are desperate and poor at the beginning, as long as you get involved in the arms trade, it won't be long before the money can be used to pave the ground!
When everyone was patting the horses, the sound of horses' hooves came again in the distance, such a crisp sound of horses' hooves, everyone knew that it was the cavalry team as soon as they heard it, and immediately looked up.
More than a dozen cavalrymen with red flags on their backs caught their eyes, and before everyone could react, a young man in leather armor rushed down the avenue and stopped near the teahouse.
As soon as everyone saw that the top of their flag was a lightning bolt with the word "Qin", the country people immediately knelt on the ground in fright.
Although they didn't know how to read, the pattern that represented all the living beings within the territory of the Qin family, they didn't dare to forget in their dreams.
And even if the other party is not a big man of the Qin family, or a small warrior, these small people in the countryside will bow down, because they are not as free as the merchants, but they rely on the fields to eat.
The ordinary people of the entire southeast peninsula were tenant farmers, and any samurai was a landlord and was born different.
The merchants looked very carefully at the pattern in the middle of the flag under the word Qin, and after finding that it was a melon petal pattern, they all breathed a sigh of relief, got up and lowered their heads and stood aside.
"Is the boss there? Take rice balls and tea for fifteen people. One of the horsemen shouted after glancing at the crowd.
The well-informed teahouse owner knew that the other party was not his lord, so he did not kneel on the ground and bend his head like the merchant, and when he heard this, he immediately straightened up and ran quickly to serve the rice balls, and his man was also a clever man, and immediately brought tea.
The cavalry did not dismount, and the only young man who did not have a flag behind him said: "Time is pressing, take the rice balls and eat on the way." After speaking, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, grabbed the rice ball and stuffed it into his arms. And the other cavalry did the same.
The teahouse owner waited cautiously as he secretly looked at the samurai.
When he saw that these samurai clothes were not gorgeous, and could even be said to be too plain, because he saw that these samurai clothes had patches, he couldn't help but pray to himself, hoping that these samurai would not just throw down a few copper plates, otherwise he would lose all his money.
The young warrior casually threw a silver coin to the teahouse owner, pulled the horse rope, and said, "Go!" ”
He rumbled up the road with the rest of the cavalry and departed as fast as he could.
The knight had been running down the road for some time when he suddenly rushed off the road and into the grass in one place.
But it can't be said that it is grass, and the faintly emerging roadbed indicates that this is obviously a country road, but there are few people walking, and it has been covered with weeds. However, under the ravages of more than a dozen war horses, the trampled weeds can only bring this rural road to the light of day.
Not long after the cavalry galloped, a relatively wide dirt road appeared, and the hazy village scene in the distance had emerged, and the figures of farmers working in the fields on the side were also faintly visible.
As the village got closer and closer, farmers carrying farm tools appeared on the road. As soon as the peasants saw the pattern of the cavalry leaning against the flag, they immediately retreated to the sides and knelt on the ground with their foreheads pressed against the ground. In the midst of this great salute, the cavalry continued through the village.
After ten minutes of running again, a small town appeared in front of me. In the center of the town is a slightly protruding mountain, and on the mountain is a castle surrounded by wooden walls.
However, the name of the castle is also due to the prominent building in the center of the city, about ten meters high, which belongs to the architectural style of the Southeast Peninsula. As long as you have a castle tower, even if it is small, it is a castle, which is recognized as a castle in the southeast peninsula.
