"Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight,......" In the market in Jinhu City, busy vendors kept singing these numbers in their mouths, and at the same time they quickly stuffed tea bricks into cowhide bags one after another. The shops were surrounded by crowds, bustling like a black torrent.

The market in front of you is the most lively place in Jinhu City, and it is a paradise in the eyes of countless grassland people. The goods yard outside the city is 'buying,' and this bazaar inside the city is 'selling.'" Buying and selling, together is buying and selling.

The goods and money carried by the foreign caravans should be traded with people in the freight yard, and all the material will be turned into gold and silver coins or paper money. Then take them back home, or enter Jinhu City, and come to the shops in the commercial street in front of you, enough to buy everything you need.

No caravan from outside has ever been able to drive directly into Jinhu City, and this separation is also for the sake of safety.

From salt and sugar to tea pots, silk cloth to fine porcelain and lacquerware, spices from the South Seas, gems from Tianzhu, glass mirrors from the Central Plains, ornate sword carriages and exquisite jewelry, everything you need can be bought here.

The lively scene in front of him made Nazar [Felt Blanket Man] from the vast yellow sand on the east shore of the Caspian Sea dazzled. From fur daggers to jewels and jade, from tea and porcelain to silk and spices, the dazzling array of goods around him made him swallow his saliva. Nazar even found several half-length glass mirrors the size of a leather shield in a department store on the corner. It's a priceless gem.

From ancient times to the present, glass has been imported from west to east, but since the glass mirror came out of the Central Plains, this situation has suddenly repeated. Even if today's glass mirrors are far inferior to later generations, they are still epoch-making compared to Western bronze mirrors and silver mirrors. Whether it is the world of one god or the world of heaven, no one can resist the glass mirror.

Time is so peculiar.

If we wait another half a century, the Western world will also be able to produce a glass mirror, the first glass mirror in human history. But who made China have the variable of Emperor Lu?

Nazar's gaze swept across the shops lining the street, his eyes full of greed. If he chose Jinhu City before, it was only because of the unique advantages here, after the heavy snowstorm came, the Qi army in Jinhu City would be cut off from the rear towns, and the number of garrisons in Jinhu City itself was small, which could give him enough time to retreat calmly. Even his helpers were able to calmly pack up their belongings and brave the wind and snow through the vast Kipchak steppes to the Caspian Sea region.

By the time the Chinese received the news the following year and launched an angry attack on the Donkpchak Khanate, the Union State, all the participants would have been thousands of miles away.

But now Nazar senses a 'second' reason that makes him feel like he has really made the right choice. He also expressed the hope in his heart that he could truly break Jinhu City in the future battles.

There are not many merchants here, far from being comparable to the big cities, but there is undoubtedly a great wealth stored here.

The city was no larger than the Jade Dragon Gyechi, the capital and wealthiest city of the Khwarazmians, Nazar's neighbors, one of the most important trading cities of the Silk Road in Central Asia, a pagan city, but the most prosperous city Nazar had ever visited. The short street in front of him gave him only the feeling of being in the bustling market of Yulong Jiechi.

Fine silk porcelain, tea rhubarb, crystal white sugar and sweet wine, and light and warm cashmere products, this is really not inferior to the most prosperous streets of Yulongjiechi. Compared to the modest towns on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea and the oasis cities in the rolling yellow sand, it is almost like paradise and wealth.

How nice it would be if Jinhu City could be owned by himself! Nazar's mind couldn't help but have such a thought.

Immediately laughed.

Capture the cities of the Chinese? From the tiger, no, from the mouth of an evil dragon, he must have a clear brain, how crazy he must be.

Tea rhubarb, silk porcelain and other luxuries, no matter how precious they are, no matter how precious they are, they can't compare to their own lives.

After taking a turn on the commercial street, he also took this opportunity to take a closer look at Jinhu City, which is quite small. But the garrison of the Qi army is really quite strict, and five hundred regular troops guarding such a city are absolutely hard bones.

However, although the reality is cruel, it does not stop Nazar from dreaming. In his dream, Nazar captured the rich city of Golden Lake at a very small cost, from which he received countless riches and glory, and brought back several cannons and boxes of powder, which made him a hero.

Heroes of the common Seljuks and Byzantines.

Two great empires in decay are in need of artillery to suppress the fortunes of the country. As such, he was rewarded with rewards from both empires......

Just as Nazar was fantasizing about mountains of wealth and cloud-like beauties in his mind, a low, grim inquiry pulled him back to reality.

"Stop! Who are you? Where did it come from? Which tribe? On the commercial street, a patrol of soldiers blocked the way of Nazar and the others, interrogating them in Turkic.

"Honorable sir, we are coming from the Conle's Ministry to the west. I have heard the name of Jinhu City for a long time, and I want to exchange the fur for some salt and tea leaves. The astute Nazar hurriedly bowed obediently, replied in a skillful Turkic voice, and took out a silver coin and looked at the other party flatteringly.

The officer at the head just looked at it suspiciously, without even looking at the silver coin, "Take off your hat!" As he spoke, he sniffled, and there was a smell of mutton.

Nazar took a second silver coin out of his pocket and shoved it into the officer's hand.

The latter gently pushed the silver coin back, and Nazar demanded more, and the officer's face immediately showed impatience. With a wave of his hand, he interrupted Nazar's polite words, and turned back and ordered, "Search me for these people." ”

The result was naturally nothing, but it had already scared Nazar a lot.

Seeing Nazar's gray appearance when he led the people away, a soldier couldn't help but step forward and ask the officer, "Li Tou'er, do you think there is something wrong with them?" Do you want to take these people back to the police office and ask them again? ”

"No need. I'm just seeing these people face to face. "The long winter has arrived, and the battalion has long instructed his men to watch carefully for these tartars. Don't let them make a mess at this time.

The officer waved his hand in disbelief. didn't know at all, but an inadvertent check by himself had frightened those with ghosts.

Nazar did not dare to stay on the commercial street any longer. Hurry out of the city and return to the camp tent. Only then did he subconsciously look at the muzzle of the black hole on the head of the city. In an instant, he felt that the muzzle of the cannon was coming at him, and he almost frightened his legs.
