Chapter 67: The Arms Dealer
In Bahuan City, there is an inn in the eight directions, and the name is taken from the name of the proprietor. The inn is well managed, and the guests are like clouds. It's just that in the past two years, there have been many wars, and the businessmen dare not come, so the business has become much lighter.
Like most inns, the back and upper floors of the Bafang Inn are the guest rooms for accommodation, and the ground floor of the front part is a place for wine shops, so as to facilitate the food of the accommodation merchants, and at the same time, it is also in line with the business road that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The Bafang Away Battle is the place where Kang Shalai and his upper family, Taoist Zhong Shenxiu, agreed to meet and trade.
Taoist priest Zhong Shenxiu and his master's housekeeper Wang Xu have also just arrived for two days. On this day, they complained in the corner of the wine shop, and by the way, they waited for the agreed Hu people to come home.
"Brother Dao has found a good place, the conditions are excellent, and it is quiet."
Since Wang Xu moved in, he has always paid attention to the strangers around him. No way, this deal has to be done with care. Therefore, he asked that the place where he lived must be less crowded and remote. Here, it is very much in line with his heart.
Zhong Shenxiu smiled slightly and said, "It's not for the Tuqi Shi and the Tubo people to toss. Normally, it's not like this here. It's not easy to rest here. โ
"Speaking of Tibetan people, it's really his grandmother's muddy. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been delayed for two months. In those days, I was scared, for fear that something would go wrong and my hair would turn gray. โ
Wang Xu snorted outside the door, which was regarded as venting his resentment against the Tubo people.
The Turgish people swept through the four towns of Anxi and gained a lot. The Tubo people, who were stimulated and encouraged, finally couldn't help but make a noise, and Mingli exerted pressure on the Jiuqu area, but made a surprise attack on Hexi. Wang Xu was disrupted by this war.
Zhong Shenxiu also felt the same way, and said with emotion: "No, for this business, I came to the front station last year." I actually met the Turgish, if I hadn't been alert, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back. โ
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
Wang Xu felt a little gloating. If it weren't for this Taoist priest, the Lord would not have sent him to this desolate Anxi, and he almost lost his life.
"Forget it. Let's get down to business. The Chestnut must have had the same fate as us. I don't know if he can come. โ
It's been a month, and the chestnut buyer hasn't shown up yet. Although it is normal to be late, Zhong Shenxiu has been waiting for a month. The goods in hand are very sensitive and prickly, and it is very risky to hold this batch of goods for a long time. If the other party does not come again, it is time to dispose of the goods. Otherwise, once something happens, it's a matter of losing your head.
"Business? What's going on with that patron you're talking about? We've all been two months late, and they're even late. What do you say? How do you give a message to the Lord? โ
Wang Xu vented the complaint in his heart. If the deal is done, the credit will be there. If something goes wrong, you will be the one who will take the blame and lose your head. And this stinky Taoist priest, he can't pat his ass and travel around, and no one can find him.
"Brother Wang, don't be distressed. I've been paying attention to it these days. If we want, we can sell this batch of goods at any time, and I think the Tibetan people are very interested. โ
Zhong Shenxiu looked around and deliberately lowered his voice.
"No, I can't. The Lord has said, "This goods shall not be resold." Don't fall into the hands of the Tibetans, if you alarm Your Majesty, we will all be doomed. Wang Xu's attitude was categorical.
Zhong Shenxiu's heart despised the Korean man in front of him, and the vulgar lord, and he didn't know why he was blind, and he actually took refuge in such an incompetent magnate. What can't be resold, could it be that the Rites bought these things and put them in their own homes as toys, and when they had nothing to do, they used them to shoot themselves? Aren't they reselling to buyers who need everything? Who can guarantee that these buyers must be big cannibals?
That's what he thinks in his heart, but he can only say yes.
"So, what about the Turgish?"
Zhong Shenxiu didn't give up, with the relationship he had just established in Broken Leaves, it should be quite easy to sell this batch of goods to the Tuqi Shi people. Moreover, it can be sold for a good price, and as for the deposit of the Consalais, it is considered to be earned for nothing.
"Are you looking for death? The Turgish only came to raid last year, do you want to see them come back with these conspicuous weapons? Do you really want to kill the Lord? โ
Wang Xu was in a hurry, this Taoist priest was really a master who was not afraid of the sky and the earth.
Before leaving, the Lord told him that this special cargo must not flow to Tibet and the Turks. These two ethnic groups often have wars with the Tang Dynasty, of course, the Lord is not worried about how many Tang soldiers have fallen in front of these sharp weapons, but worried that once these alien races are found to have the sharp weapons of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty will inevitably issue a thorough investigation. Then, when the time comes, things will be big, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
As for the Chestnut, they had sworn that they would only sell to the Great Cannibals. Although, this thing doesn't count as a. However, driven by high profits, the lord who had hesitated for a long time reluctantly agreed to the deal.
Zhong Shenxiu was about to argue with Wang Xu, and there was a commotion outside the door, which was the sound of the shopkeeper welcoming the guests to check in.
A familiar Turkic language came from outside the door, Zhong Shenxiu, who had dealt with the Turks, had learned a little Turkic, and he heard that the Turks were not only going to stay in, but also inquiring about the two groups of Rites, and his tone sounded very concerned and anxious.
"Five rooms in the upper room!" With the sound of Xiao Er's happy shouting, more than a dozen Hu people walked in one after another. Zhong Shenxiu and Wang Xu looked at them vigilantly, they were Turks, and they were all dressed as merchants. But if you look closely, you can clearly feel the violent aura emanating from them, and Zhong Shenxiu, who has been to the territory of the Turks, reacted immediately: Turkic elite warriors.
One of them is an exception. That one is a Rite, on the surface, his identity is the master, but in the senses, it is the opposite. This is very strange.
The old Wang Xu also noticed. The two glanced at each other, and Wang Xu said, "Wait a few more days, anyway, you've been waiting for two months, and it's not too late." โ
Zhong Shenxiu didn't argue, he nodded, and then began to pay attention to the group of Hu people who had just come in. He had a strange feeling that the chestnut and himself would have some kind of intersection, because, from his expression, it was clear that he was the same kind of person as himself.
As soon as the group of Hu people settled down, they hurriedly went out in batches, including the Lite man, and before going out, the Lite turned around and stared at Zhong Shenxiu and Wang Xu.
Sure enough, it's not a good kind.
As soon as the Turks left, Xiao Er's cheerful welcome sounded outside the door. Outside the gate, camels, horses, and Witt mingled together, making it quite noisy.
"Huh? Why is it so lively today? Zhong Shenxiu and Wang Xu, who were about to stand up and go back to the guest room, both said in unison, their curious eyes staring at the entrance of the door.
The two dusty chestnuts hurriedly walked in, and saw Zhong Shenxiu and the two at a glance, and the faces of the two chestnuts immediately showed a surprised expression, it seemed that they were looking for Zhong Shenxiu. Zhong Shenxiu looked at them suspiciously, how had he ever seen them?
Zhong Shenxiu watched in amazement as an honest chestnut took out a whisk from his arms, which was the token of his agreement with Konsale. There can be no doubt that the person who came was the buyer a year ago. It was Ba'b.
Conssalai had been worried that the seller might abandon the deal, and his eagerness to close the deal made him anxious. The deposit and profit are not trivial, if the appointment is not broken, those murderous horse bandits who do not blink an eye may not let go of the Kang family.
So, at Babu's suggestion, Kangshalai sent two followers to follow Babu, and the light cavalry first rushed to Bahuan City to contact the Taoist priest Zhong Shenxiu, and then he came later.
The three of the Bรกb traveled day and night, encountering dangers along the way, and sacrificing one of their retinue. Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission, and as soon as he arrived at the agreed place, he saw the Taoist priest mentioned by Kangshalai.
The buyer is coming! Zhong Shenxiu and Wang Xu both breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts finally landed.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed, and then the night came.
"It's not going to be another pounce this time, damn the Lite."
A few Turks who returned at night scolded and returned to the Bafang Inn, and as soon as they entered the guest room, they couldn't help but explode, and all their grievances were sprinkled on the Lite people.
"That damn is Luck, what a bad idea, if it weren't for his troubles, we wouldn't have grabbed enough of it in Samarkand? The taste of that chestnut girl, I really miss it. โ
"Even I don't know if the Rite named Babu has passed. Are we just waiting here for nothing? โ
"yes, grandma's. Isn't it just a stone, and what kind of artifact is blowing from the sky? Behold, the Great Khan was deceived. โ
"Quietly. Don't talk nonsense. I heard that this divine artifact has divine power, and only the master of the Wo Sect can use it, and the Great Khan will definitely be able to become the lord of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu with this thing. โ
โฆโฆ
The Turks didn't know that their conversation had passed through the wooden wall of the room and fell into the ears of Zhong Shenxiu next door, although it was Turkic, some of them could not be understood, but he heard the words "Shenwu and Wo taught him" very clearly and very clearly......
