The distance to the southeast of Meiji is about ten miles.

A horse team was slowly advancing towards Wuzhou County, Yanmen County, when suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came, and then a cavalry of about more than 10,000 people was seen surrounding the horse team. Suddenly, there was a violent commotion in the horse team.

"What's going on?! What was that?! An unpleasant voice came from the carriage, and then from the window of the carriage, the head of a young man peeked out. With just a glance, he was immediately stunned, "Flying Cavalry Battalion?!" Why are they here?! The young man thought in horror.

At this moment, a loud shout sounded not far away, "Who is the owner of this convoy?!" Wushuang Hou is here, why don't you come and see you soon! ”

In a word, the young man jumped out of the carriage quickly, looked around, and immediately saw the man riding on the back of the huge white tiger, almost without any thought, he hurriedly walked in front of Li Yi and said respectfully, "The villain Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, meet the prince!" ”

Although he had never seen Li Yi, Li Yi's mount was a huge white tiger that had already spread all over the world, and there was no need to worry about impostors.

"Hmm......" Hearing Zhen Yan's words, Li Yi responded casually, and sat on Xiaobai's back and looked at Zhen Yan lightly. His gaze was very calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, and this kind of gaze made Zhen Yan dare not say a word although he had ten thousand whys in his heart.

After a long while, Li Yi spoke, only to hear him chuckle and say, "Master Zhen, is Ben Hou so scary?" Makes you sweat. ”

"Surrounded by such a large group of cavalry, and you, the legendary big man, have personally arrived, I'm not nervous, it's strange, right?!" Zhen Yan thought helplessly in his heart, but he hurriedly responded, "Seeing the prince, the villain is too excited, and he hopes that the prince will atone for his sins." ”

"Hehe~ The head of the Zhen family is quite good at talking, but looking at the age of the head of the Zhen family, it shouldn't be very old, right?" Li Yi said with a smile when he heard this.

"Back to the prince, the villain is 18 years old this year, his father died of illness two years ago, and the eldest brother died early, so the villain had to take over the position of head of the family at the age of uncrowned." Hearing this, Zhen Yan continued to respond respectfully.

"Oh~" Li Yi nodded when he heard this, and then went straight to the point, "Master Zhen, I bought so many horses this time, but I don't know where to sell them?" ”

Well, he suddenly led a large army to surround the other party, and then directly asked or questioned without any explanation, it can be said that Li Yi's attitude was quite rude. However, Zhen Yan didn't care about this, because he had long been used to it.

The Zhen family is a wealthy merchant family, and in this era, although it has a high status among the common people, in the eyes of the scholars, it is just a group of lowly people. Not to mention a high-ranking existence like Li Yi, even if it is an official such as a county order, the tone is poor or something, it is a normal thing.

But speaking of which, the ancestors of the Zhen family were not businessmen, but real families! His family has been an important minister of the Han Dynasty for generations, and he has a hereditary official rank of 2,000 stones! You must know that even the Yuan family and the Yang family today do not have such treatment.

It's just that there is such a sentence that is said well, as the so-called wrong step is wrong, the ancestor of the Zhen family, Zhen Han, stood in the wrong position in a standing line, and it is still a very important standing in line! That is, he actually chose to follow Wang Mang when Wang Mang was regent in the past, and then after Wang Mang usurped power, he swore to follow him, and was finally worshiped by Wang Mang as the Great Sima!

If the new dynasty can continue forever, then the Zhen family will undoubtedly be the choice for the benefit of future generations because of Zhen Han's choice, but unfortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Xiu to appear, and the Zhen family, although they quickly threw themselves to Liu Xiu after seeing Wang Mang's disadvantage, and offered a lot of money and wealth, but even so, it only preserved the family.

Although he later chose to do business with the old bottom he left behind, and gradually became a giant businessman in Zhongshan Kingdom, it was not until Zhen Yan's father Zhen Yi that he relied on bribing eunuchs to obtain a county magistrate position and entered the official career again. But that's just it, even Zhang Rang didn't dare to let the people of the Zhen family enter the court, and even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he immediately withdrew Zhen Yi, as if he was afraid of implicating himself.

"Back to the prince, this batch of horses is to be sold to the families of Jizhou and Qingzhou and the local clans, and the prince also knows that the rebellion during this period of time has made many families and local clans ......" Zhen Yan explained respectfully, but there were some things he didn't say clearly, but obviously, he believed that Li Yi couldn't have known it.

Hearing this, Li Yi nodded and said, "In this case, in that case, why don't you go to Youzhou to buy horses?" Although Wuhuan has not yet been pacified, after Liu Yuanjun arrived, the western counties of Youzhou have been very stable. ”

"The prince only knows one thing but does not know the other, although since the arrival of Liu Yuanjun, the war in Youzhou has gradually subsided, but the price of horses is a little inflated." Hearing this, Zhen Yan hurriedly said, paused, Zhen Yan hesitated, and said again, "Originally, I planned to buy it in Wuyuan and other counties, but I heard that the prince is going to buy a horse ...... from the people."

"I see...... Li Yi nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "What is the price you bought from Hu Ren?" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Zhen Yan hesitated a little, and didn't seem to want to say it too much.

"What? Still keep it a secret from Benhou? Li Yi immediately laughed when he heard this.

"The villain doesn't dare, the price of the Hu people is 3 layers lower than the general purchase price...... Zhen Yan said cautiously when he heard this.

"Oh~That's it~" Li Yi said suddenly when he heard this.

At this moment, another sound of horses' hooves sounded, and after a while, more than a dozen horsemen appeared in Li Yi's eyes. Soon, Azir led people to Li Yi's face, but before he could speak, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and then he saw more than a dozen horsemen rushing over.

"Tsk, it's going to be lively now......" Li Yi looked over there and thought to himself.

At the same time, Zhen Yan, who was standing behind Li Yi, had a very ugly face, obviously he had discovered that he seemed to be inexplicably involved in a very difficult matter. And on the contrary, he could not do anything but wait for the results.

"Alas, the lord is really ...... Why did you let me come here to buy horses, and what is the use of repairing relations with this group of Hu people? A bunch of timid and scared rubbish! Zhen Yan sighed helplessly in her heart.

Not long after, the second wave of people arrived, and it was Lu Zhi, the general of the Huns.
