Chapter 168: Buy a strong crossbow again
Pinching his fingers and calculating, it was about the same time as the transaction agreed with Wang Xu, Kang Shalai hurriedly received the materials allocated to him by Li Huaitang, and excitedly set off towards Anxi Bahuan City. After nearly a month of arduous travel, Kangsalai successfully arrived at Bahuan City. The last trading session was obviously very bad, and on the way back, there was heavy snow blocking the mountain, if it weren't for Li Huaitang's cooperation and understanding, I am afraid that the Kang family would have lost all their money.
Having learned his lesson, this time Conssalai had plenty of time to arrive early and stay at the Lodge.
Now, what he does every day is to wait for Wang Xu's appointment to come. If he just bought a crossbow, he was sure that he would get dozens of crossbows in Bazhao City, but he was worried that he would lose a lot of money, after all, this kind of illegal trade would take a lot of risks, and one mistake would bring disaster. In view of this, he planned to find another way to buy a hand crossbow after receiving the most important goods from Wang Xu's hands and transporting them out of Anxi, even if it was necessary to make another trip.
Thinking about the supplies he brought, Conssalai felt that he had made the right choice. Li Huaitang divided some of the materials captured by the Ati Division, such as furs, alcohol, spices, salt, pack horses, and various mountain goods, to bring trade to Konshalai, and the transport personnel and pack horses were given to Konshalai for free. The prices of the supplies allocated to Konsalai were quite favorable, and the weapons ordered from Konsalai were not bargained because the distance was shortened, but were still carried out at the price originally negotiated, and after a transaction, Konsalai found that the income would be more than double.
The excess profits made Conssalai full of energy and ambition to paint a bright future.
On this day, as in previous days, Kang Shalai stayed in the inn's wine shop, waiting for Wang Xu, who might come at any time.
didn't wait for Wang Xu to come, but unexpectedly saw two old enemies, Gu Si and Que Yi were difficult.
Of course, a little person like Konshalai has never been as difficult as their eyes. Konshalai hadn't seen them in person, but many of the caravan knew Gu Si and Que Yi Nanru, both of whom had been captured by their proud general.
As the most luxurious and famous inn in Anxi, people with a little status are eager to stay at the Bafang Inn. Gu Si and Que Yi are not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention that they are here to make a big noise, before they arrived, they sent dozens of sharp men to Anxi all the way along the direction of Chang'an, boasting about Gu Si's great achievements everywhere.
Although the soldiers and people up and down Anxi had strong hostility and hatred towards the Turgish, Gu Si was not worried at all. Compared to the defeat of the Great Cannibals and the recovery of the Hezhong region, the conflict between Sulu Khan and Anxi was nothing at all, at least the emperors and magnates in Chang'an City thought so. Gu Si is to make contributions as a courtier, and he is also here to praise the power of Datang Tianwei, and Datang is still very safe for him.
"Go, let's ask, what are these two bastards doing here?"
Ever since they arrived in Bahu City, Conssalai and his party have been in the inn and rarely go out. So I don't know about the major events that have been stormy in the city recently.
A shrewd subordinate responded to Consala's orders and took the opportunity to approach the shopkeeper and knock on his side.
It didn't take long for Konsalai to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, and listening to the relays of his subordinates, Konsalai couldn't help but laugh and admire.
The cheeky bony slurped all the things that put gold on his own face. For example, the desert ambush, the defeat of the Khorasan army, the siege of Amul by the sailors of the Wuhu Navy, and the capture of the city of Samarkand, etc., are all shamelessly classified into the exploits of the bones. What made Kang Shalai and them most angry was that Gu Si actually portrayed Li Huaitang and the Ministry of Light as strong horse bandits, how they did all kinds of evil, how they colluded with the big cannibals, and finally under the leadership of the heroic and invincible Gu Si, Li Huaitang's troops were defeated, and they were driven out of the city of Qishi, saving Shi Junsi's life. In short, under the boasting, Gu Si seems to have become a unique hero.
What's even more outrageous is that Gu Si also said that he would go to Chang'an and propose to the emperor to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Kang Shalai was indignant, these credits originally belonged to Li Huaitang and all the soldiers of the Ministry of Light, but they were stolen by the shameless bone slur, even if he wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, he was also a general, how could it be the turn of this bastard who sells his reputation and reputation?
Maybe he should be grateful to Gu Si, because of his boasting, Li Huaitang entered the sight of the Tang Dynasty military and civilians for the first time, and this is also the first time that the Tang people have heard that there are still Tang remnants in the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms region who have become horse bandits, and it is said that the strength is quite strong.
Anger is anger, but there is no way to deal with the extremely shameless Turgish people. His first task is to complete the arms deal, and only more powerful weapons can strike at these shameless bandits. Conssalai comforted himself in a different way, looking at the formidable Turgish with endless sneer.
Gu Si didn't notice the cold gaze cast from the corner, he enjoyed the attention that could be seen everywhere, and before he knew it, those battles that were chiseled and attached to the battle turned into reality in a trance, and he fell into his own lies.
Maybe it was out of order to ease the tension with the Tang Dynasty, or maybe it was the sugar-coated cannonball of Gu Si that played a key role, in short, Sulu Khan agreed to Gu Si to go to Datang to show his merits, and by the way, he married a Tang princess. Marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty has always been one of Sulu Khan's dreams, but he already has the princess of Jiaohe as Kedun, and Sulu Khan has regrets about this impostor. He sinisterly thought that the trip might help him fulfill his dream, so Sulu Khan did not stop him.
On the day that Gu Si left Bazhao City, Wang Xu happened to arrive in a hurry.
Wang Xu's arrival made Kang Shalai very excited, and Wang Xu fell into his eyes undoubtedly more shining than Jinshan.
"I wonder how much goods Brother Wang brought this time?"
In the guest room, the two had just met, and without extra polite words, Konsalai entered the theme.
Wang Xu successfully completed the transaction last time, earned a large amount of money for his lord, and was appreciated by his lord, and his status also grew. The pomp and circumstance of entering and exiting were also exquisite, and as a result, they almost caused trouble at the city gate.
"Five hundred crossbows with arms, five hundred bows with horns. In addition, there are 100 crossbows and dozens of Tang knives. β
For Kangshalai's anxious mentality, Wang Xu is not surprised. Today's sudden incident at the gate of the city made him feel uneasy, and with so many contraband, all the way to the palace was to rely on the warrant obtained from the palace by the lord to avoid inspection. However, at the end of the Bazhao City, he met the barbaric Hu people, and a small dispute almost made the Hu people snatch the goods. Wang Xu, who was uncertain, also wanted to quickly give away the hot goods in his hand and exchange them for other belongings or gold and silver.
Hearing that there was a crossbow in the cargo, Konsalai couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that he really had a spirit in his heart? Perhaps, this is luck.
"Isn't there a stronger crossbow? For example, your Tang Dynasty's Fuyuan crossbow. The price is good to say, I can buy as much as I want! β
The Fuyuan crossbow, also known as the pedal crossbow, is very powerful, and Kangshalai has also seen it in the Ministry of Light, and knows that it is a good thing, and it is quite time-consuming to make. As long as there is something to buy, Li Huaitang will definitely do not hesitate to exchange it for it.
Wang Xu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." Even if there is, I don't dare to ship it! β
The power of the foot-mounted crossbow is due to its large size. The risk of carrying these weapons of mass murder over long distances is also relatively much higher, and the important thing is that the control of foot crossbows is very strict, and it is not possible for ordinary people to get them.
ConsarΓ© was a little disappointed, but that didn't stop him from being eager to close the deal. The exception is a small bag of gems as a pioneer, and Wang Xu also accepted it as a shocking thing.
The next inspection and payment procedures were familiar to both parties, and the transaction was quickly completed.
The money and goods were cleared, and the profits were in the pocket, Wang Xu let go of the burden in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Kang Shalai into the wine shop to chat wildly.
"Brother Kang, I'll ask you about someone."
"Brother Wang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, a certain person must know everything, and he will say everything."
Wang Xu looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Kang, do you know what kind of Hu man has been making a lot of trouble recently." β
"It's not just that you know, but you know the details clearly. Hey, why is Brother Wang interested in him? β
Kang Shalai looked at Wang Xu in puzzlement.
"This damn fool almost ruined our big thing at the city gate today! Even the things of our grandfather dare to move. β
Wang Xu hated so much that his teeth itched.
Konshalai's eyes rolled, an idea came to him, and a wicked smile followed.
"This bone slurp, don't listen to him blow, his so-called credits are all fraudulent use of others, come, let me tell Brother Wang in detail what happened to you......"
Kang Shalai made up a ready-made story true or false, and Wang Xu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he exclaimed incredibly.
"Brother Kang, don't lie to me, is Li Huaitang really so sharp? Both the Great Cannibal and the Turgish were toyed with by him between applause? β
Wang Xu looked incredulous.
"Hehe, don't hide it from Brother Wang, this time I represent this person, and these ordnance are sold to him. If it is really as Gu Si boasted, then whether Li Huaitang can survive or not has become a problem, how can he come up with such a strong property to prepay me today? Let's tell you the truth, the property you traded with was stolen from the Ati tribe of Bathana about a month ago. β
Although Wang Xu was skeptical, he couldn't deny it, and he couldn't help but sigh and admire Li Huaitang's toughness.
Kang Shalai smiled evilly: "Brother Wang, if you want to make Gu Si look good, why don't you also follow suit and publicize his deeds?" β
"Yes, he is cruel and I am unjust. Give back to others in the way of others! "A strong revenge** occupied Wang Xu's body......
