Chapter 378: Traveling Merchant

Zhang Ning regards every separation as a parting of life and death, after all, after he has experienced life and death, he always has some sentimentality, but this kind of sentimentality like a little woman will only be shown in front of Liu Zheng.

"Go back, when I come back from Youzhou, I will come back to you, and I hope you have already conquered Beihai County."

Liu Zheng didn't want Zhang Ning to talk to him more here, because he was also a little afraid, he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of women, in case his heart was soft and he really stayed, it would be bad.

Zhang Ning didn't really want Liu Zheng to stay with her, but she wanted to take this opportunity to say a few more words and chat with Liu Zheng, and she would be satisfied.

After hearing Liu Zheng's urging, Zhang Ning nodded with interest.

Liu Zheng took Gan Ning and Zhou Tai with him, and the three of them were ready to say goodbye and leave.

From Fuyan Mountain back to the place where the boat stopped, the road is still relatively far, if you walk, it will take a day and a half to go, in fact, you can also test horses, but in the Yellow Turban Army, there is also a shortage of horses, so there is no extra war horse for Liu Zheng to use.

There was no way, Liu Zheng could only take his two generals and walk back.

After walking for a long time, I returned to the boundary of Donglai County, and before I had gone far, I met a group of wandering merchants.

This is a group of traveling merchants who have just come down from Youzhou in the north, wandering around Qingzhou and Jizhou, selling horses purchased from Youzhou.

Liu Zheng didn't have any opinion of these traveling merchants, but when he saw that these traveling merchants were actually selling horses, he was a little surprised.

After all, war horses are military resources, and they are important war resources, and the people who can get war horses at this time are not ordinary businessmen.

And the dozens of businessmen who formed a team in front of him gave Liu Zheng the idea of going up to find out, after all, if these people had a way to transport the war horses from Youzhou to Qingzhou, then what else would Liu Zheng go to Youzhou, wouldn't it be good to go directly to Qingzhou to buy it.

After Liu Zheng saw those wandering merchants, he decisively approached with his own people.

"Guys, where are you merchants?"

Liu Zheng stepped forward very politely, and faced a few big men who seemed to be the main person in charge, first arched his hand, signaled to know him, and then asked questions.

Those few people gathered together, as if they were talking about something, and when they heard Liu Zheng and the others approaching, they stopped talking, but looked at Liu Zheng in unison.

After looking at Liu Zheng's body, one of them spoke.

"We are traveling merchants from Youzhou, selling horses, what's the matter, do you need horses?"

Liu Zheng's dress is not bad, and now Liu Zheng is also the master of one party, the ruler of Jiaozhou, is no longer the original yellow turban miscellaneous soldier, although his body is not silk and satin, but it is definitely not a coarse cloth shirt.

Those traveling merchants could naturally see through Liu Zheng's clothes at a glance that Liu Zheng and the two people behind Liu Zheng were not ordinary people.

"Yes, I see that you have dozens of war horses here, and I happen to need some horses, so I want to ask, how do you sell these horses."

Liu Zheng opened his mouth to speak, and those people immediately became interested, and one of them, a burly man, took the initiative to approach Liu Zheng, and then immediately laughed.

"Guest officer, we are also looking for a buyer, how many horses do you need, we will definitely give you the most affordable price!"

This person's answer made Liu Zheng a little strange, but he didn't think about it at this time, but asked rhetorically.

"How many of you have?"

Liu Zheng asked, and the people glanced at each other and hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"There are only more than thirty war horses here, and in another place, there are more than two hundred, how much do the guest officers need, if it is not enough, we can go to Youzhou and sell it again."

The burly man answered directly.

"I want them all, for what's the price?"

"All of them?"

Liu Zhengcai's arrogant appearance made those traveling merchants a little surprised immediately, but there was a hint of surprise on their faces, this kind of surprise, there was no doubt or doubt, after all, anyone who met such a big customer would also feel that they had good luck today.

"Wait, let's go and talk about it."

Then without waiting for Liu Zheng to say more, these people walked a few steps behind Liu Zheng's back, and then gathered together, shouting a few times at the same time, so that a few people from farther away also came over, more than a dozen people, talking about something together, and still looking at Liu Zheng from time to time.

Liu Zheng squinted at those people slightly, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai behind him walked up at the same time, and muttered to Liu Zheng in a low voice.

"Lord, the situation is not right, these people don't seem to be serious traveling merchants."

As soon as Zhou Tai spoke, Liu Zheng's face remained unchanged, but he continued to smile, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Tai.

"Do you see that, too? These people are really suspicious, and it's because they're suspicious that I want to find out what these people are doing here. ”

"Where is there a merchant, when asked about the price, he actually does not say, but wants to discuss, and when you take the initiative to ask him how to sell this horse, he actually asks how much you want."

"Normal people are directly quoted a low price to attract your attention first, these people are not a serious businessman at first glance."

"Moreover, the traveling merchant travels all over the year round, eats and sleeps in the open, and he does not have such a strong body at all, these people are all burly, and there is a faint blood on their bodies, I guess it is very likely that they are thieves nearby, pretending to be businessmen."

Gan Ning also immediately spoke, and responded to Liu Zheng, describing the traveling merchants that Liu Zheng met here, which did not seem to be normal traveling merchants.

"Yes, these people are pretending to be wandering merchants, and they don't know what they want to do, but these dozens of war horses around them are not fake, and these war horses are all genuine Karasuma horses, each of them is strong and strong, used to act as war horses, it is the best, no matter what, if we can get these dozens of war horses, we still need to contact them."

Although Liu Zheng had already seen that these people were not serious businessmen, for the sake of those war horses, Liu Zheng still decided to communicate with them to see if there was a chance to get some war horses from them.

Just on Liu Zheng's side, when they finished discussing that there might be problems with these traveling merchants, these traveling merchants seemed to have finished discussing, and they quickly opened three times, and more than a dozen people immediately came to Liu Zheng's side.

"We discussed it and decided to sell it to you for a horse for eighteen thousand dollars, what do you think?"
