Chapter 171: The Storm is Coming
Another group of Han merchants passed through Yuanshan and entered the Qiangdi grassland. As soon as he got out of the Yuanshan Pass, a group of cavalry immediately rushed over. The frightened caravan shopkeeper Lao Wang shouted loudly to guard the guard.
The old fox rode in high spirits, and he was followed by a troop of horses, but not cavalry, all of which they had brought from various herdsmen's fields these days. Regarding the reaction of Yuanshankou's caravan, the old fox laughed: "Su Kai, those guys are too timid, such a person, Mr. also let them come to Qiangdi, and they were all scared like this when they met us, if they were really robbed, wouldn't they all be killed?" ”
Su Kai didn't speak, and hurried away without saying a word. The old fox wants to highlight his achievements, and whoever sees the galloping horses can not be afraid.
The little dog took the words of their village owner smartly, and said with a smile: "The village owner, the businessmen are all little cowards, and they ...... at the beginning."
"Smack!" A whip was whipped on the puppy's back: "You kid, you know what to say when you pout your ass?" Lao Tzu's scar, you still have to uncover it, be quick, go and talk to the people of the caravan, so that they don't have to be afraid! ”
The little dog laughed, hit the horses under his crotch, rushed over like arrows, and shouted as he ran: "Don't be afraid, we are here to send the horses!" ”
The old king is the old king in Sangyuan Town. Su Ren has gone through the business road, and as a partner, Cui Jiuming must take a look. Cui Jiuming can't come in person, Lao Wang, as the most loyal shopkeeper of the Cui family, must leave this time.
I vaguely heard the shouting of the little dog, and the guy on the side looked out: "The shopkeeper, it seems to be his own person?" ”
Lao Wang then remembered that when he came, Cui Jiuming had explained that Su Ren had someone in Qiangdi, and every caravan that went to Qiangdi would be met by someone in the mountain pass. Thinking of this, Lao Wang also looked out, patted the dust on his body and stood up, turning into the shrewd businessman again.
Neither side has seen anyone. Su Ren gave each team a token, a piece of jade that was divided into strange shapes, and only two sides were together, so it was considered his own person. At the beginning, Cui Jiuming knew that Su Ren used the Hetian jade he sent to do this, and his heart was dripping blood. Although this piece of jade is not priceless, it is worth less than half a city, so it was casually halved by Su Ren, and the title of a loser was firmly carried.
The old fox and the old king took out the token from their arms and touched them together, tightly together, without a sense of disobedience. The old fox laughed and said, "Now believe it, right?" Look at your cowardice one by one, I don't know how Mr. sent you to do business in this place! ”
"Who is in charge of escorting this time? Oh! It turned out to be Ma Sanpao, you turtle son, just now I saw that you hid the fastest, so don't come in the future, your kid was killed and ruined Mr.'s business, Lao Tzu will take you to light the sky lantern! ”
Ma Sanpao smiled: "How can the kid compare with you!" Look at the horse team behind you, ten thousand horses galloping, when has the kid ever seen such a thing, but the old village owner can rest assured, even if the kid hands over his life here, he will not let Mr. Su's caravan suffer losses! ”
"It's like a sentence! Come on, handover, right? The brothers are still waiting for the money! ”
Su Kai did not participate in the distribution of the spoils, and stood on the mound far away on a horse, during this time the Qiang land became more and more tense, especially around the Yellow Sheep tribe, and the friction had begun. The people of the Yellow Sheep tribe led by Lai Kesen have fought several small-scale wars with the two tribes of horses and antelopes, and there are not many dead, and the atmosphere has been set off.
Riwu Buji slapped his palm on the back of the chair: "The horse tribe deceived people too much, and even came to our territory to rob livestock and herdsmen, are they crazy?" ”
"Father, I'm going to take people to exterminate the Horse Tribe, so that those guys who are ready to move can see that our Yellow Sheep Tribe is the real master of this grassland!" Leksen stood up and slapped his chest with a shocking sound.
Hivu Buji nodded: "Very good!" You sit down first, second, what do you think? ”
Vala frowned and thought for a long time: "I still think don't act rashly, we must all be Qiang, beat ourselves and let those Huns see jokes." ”
"You are just cowardly, afraid of this and afraid of that, what happened to the Huns? Do they dare to attack it? ”
"Fighting and killing can't solve the problem, only unity is the condition for the development of our Qiang people, as long as we go to war, this battle is not the business of our Yellow Sheep tribe and the horse tribe!"
"So what?" Lai Kesen sneered: "It's just right, the warriors of our Yellow Sheep tribe leveled the grassland in one fell swoop, and the entire grassland belongs to our Yellow Sheep tribe!" ”
Hivubuki's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak. He is not a martial artist like Lekesen, so he naturally knows that what Vala said is reasonable, it seems that the grassland is very calm and not disturbed by outsiders, in fact, none of those people around him are not eyeing each other. If the grassland is really chaotic, then the end of their Qiang people must be very tragic.
"Father, let's take a look at the goods that the Han merchants brought to us this time, right?" Ke Muzhi said loudly: "Father asked Su Ren to help us get some armor, if Su Ren gets the armor of the Han people, it is not too late to arm our warriors and then do it!" ”
A smile appeared on Ri Wubuji's face, and he looked at Ke Muzhi kindly: "The third child is right, then take a look first!" ”
Several elders nodded in agreement. Only Lexon and Vala's eyes became strange. Lai Ke Mu Zhi stared at Ke Muzhi viciously, since those Han people came, he felt that his younger brother was no longer the child he used to be, and had become his enemy. Vala's heart was the same as Lexen's, but his expression was a warm smile, and the wariness in his eyes was only for a moment.
After discussing things, the big tent became lively, and the Qiang people liked the bread and meat, and they didn't eat one meal a day, and it was uncomfortable for the day. As a result, they can't do without wheat, and no matter how ground the barley flour is, it won't steam out the taste of wheat flour. And wheat could only be exchanged from Han Chinese merchants. Eating the bread and meat, Ri Wubuji and the elders said that when the next group of Han merchants came, they needed to exchange more wheat.
A man with a bow and arrows on his back jumped off his horse when he came to the big tent, covered with dust and exhaustion: "Chief, something has happened!" ”
"What's wrong? Is it the horse tribe again? Leksen stood up suddenly.
"It's a Han caravan! This time, the Han caravan was robbed by the yak tribe! ”
"What?" Everyone stopped biting, and Lai Kesen's mouth bulged: "Does that guy Namco want to start a war with the Han Chinese?" ”
Vala smiled disdainfully: "Namco is not at war with the Han Chinese, he is at war with us!" ”
"You!" Being provoked by Vala, Lexen was very unhappy, and glared at Vala fiercely: "Father, I'll take someone to snatch the Han caravan back!" ”
Riwu Buji's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he nodded heavily. Lai Kesen threw down the bread and bun in his hand, and roared at the messenger: "Blow the trumpet immediately, and set off now!" ”
"I'll go too!" Ke Muzhi hurriedly followed.
Although the Han merchant is not from the Yellow Sheep tribe, after experiencing a Han caravan, Ri Wubuji and the entire tribe know that holding the Han merchant in his hand will bring something to their tribe? Not only is it cheaper to exchange things, but there are also no restrictions on transactions. This is the prerogative of their Yellow Sheep tribe, and no one must be allowed to get involved.
Namtso rode a very large horse, which was half as big as the others, and it was very difficult for the horse to carry Namtso. Behind him was a long caravan, surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, and Namtso had already prepared.
Namco's smile was very joyful, which made people feel warm: "Dear shopkeeper Wang, the last time your caravan made me pay more than half of the price in Eagle Lake, I only exchanged a little food, and this time I have to let the old boy of Riwu Buji taste the taste of being slaughtered." ”
Lao Wang also smiled and said: "Honorable leader, I think you should let us go to Eagle Lake, you take us away, if you let the people of the Yellow Sheep tribe know, they will not let you go!" ”
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm sure I can do this! When you come to our yak tribe, you can also earn money. ”
"Of course! However, I still have to remind the leader that the Yellow Sheep tribe is one of the largest tribes in the steppe. ”
"Our yak tribe is not afraid of them!" Namu laughed loudly, trembling on the horse, and the horses under the crotch kept neighing: "I'm not Riwubuji, I'm also thinking about the grassland, you businessmen came to our grassland for the good of the whole grassland, and you can't let that old boy in Riwubuji be alone." ”
"Alright! As long as you can keep us safe, we'll go to the yak tribe! Lao Wang's expression was a little helpless, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and when he saw the cavalry of the yak tribe, he stopped the idea of Ma Sancang rushing forward.
Along the border of the Yellow Sheep tribe, the caravan needed to go around a large circle. This provided the conditions for the pursuit of the Yellow Sheep tribe, and at noon on the second day, Lai Kesen caught up with the Han caravan intercepted by Namco. There was no superfluous nonsense, and both sides put on a posture.
"Namco, you ungrateful thing, if you hadn't begged my father at the beginning, how could your yak tribe live the life it is now!" Lai Kesen's teeth creaked: "The acquaintance released the caravan, I will let you go back, if you dare to say half a word, today is your death day!" ”
Namco was still smiling: "Lai Kesen Xian, it is up to them to decide where the Han caravan goes, and other tribes on the grassland have the right to trade with Han merchants, and your Yellow Sheep tribe's practices are bad rules?" ”
"Rules? You robbed the caravan halfway, and you behaved? Hurry up and release the caravan, I'll count to ten, and attack immediately! ”
"Woo ......" The dull horn suddenly sounded, and a large group of cavalry on the horizon rushed towards this side quickly, and the three flags were particularly eye-catching under the clear sky.
The old fox lying in the grass in the distance smiled, and said to Su Kai: "It's done!" If you can't fight this time, my old fox will lose to you a daughter! ”
