When Risong was almost desperate, a Xia man found him.

Although Narisong had never dealt with him in the past, he had heard his name and knew that he was a well-known broker on the border, often going back and forth between Moxi and Liangzhou, reselling goods.

Outside the tent, Nari Song swept the sad look in his eyebrows, laughed and greeted him, and hugged the visitor fiercely, "Dear Zhang Xingwang guest, it's a pleasure to see you." ”

Zhang Xingwang had a smile on his face, and smiled helplessly in his heart, this Mengyuan person is indeed very enthusiastic, especially when he asks for you, he is even more enthusiastic, and even can't wait to let his wife and daughter accompany him, according to their Mengyuan customs, this is called a wife and guest.

When he first followed his elders into the Mengyuan border, he also received courtesy from his wife and guest, but later because he didn't like the smell of Mengyuan women, he never had a relationship with Mengyuan women again.

Zhang Xingwang held back the pungent smell in his nose, tried to control himself not to sneeze, and also hugged Narisong tightly with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Dear Patriarch Narisong, I am also very happy to see you." ”

You can use your own means when trading, but outside of trading, you can't be too rude to the Mengyuan people, otherwise it is very likely that they will not like it, or even refuse to trade with you.

Entering the tent, the two sides sat down in priority.

That day, Song instructed a beautiful woman in the clan to pour Zhang Xingwang a glass of mare's milk wine, and he also raised his glass and said, "Come, Brother Zhang, let's drink this cup full." After speaking, he raised his wine glass and drank the mare's milk wine, and then ordered the clan girl to pour it full.

Zhang Xingwang and Na Ri Song toasted three times in a row, and when they saw that he was still going to persuade him to drink, he hurriedly covered the croissant cup with his hand, not letting the handsome clan girl pour the wine, and said in his mouth: "Patriarch Na Ri Song, you really can't drink anymore, otherwise it will delay the business." ”

Narisong frowned and said: "Brother Zhang, you are the first time to my tribe, and I have the obligation to entertain you well at that Risong, and I will not get drunk today." ”

Zhang Xingwang smiled bitterly and said, "Patriarch Song, drinking is indeed important, but don't you want to know what I want to do today?" ”

That day Song put down the wine glass, glanced at him, and smiled, "Although I have never met Brother Zhang in the past, Brother Zhang's identity is still clear. ”

Zhang Xingwang smiled mysteriously, "Patriarch Risong was really shrewd that day, even if I didn't say it, I should have guessed my intention." Yes, I'm here to trade with your tribe. ”

Seeing that Na Risong's expression gradually calmed down, Zhang Xingwang said in a deep voice: "I heard that your tribe suffered a locust plague some time ago, and there are a large number of livestock for sale in the clan, I don't know if it's serious?" ”

When it came to business, Nari Song no longer persuaded him to drink, waved his hand to let the handsome clan girl go down, stared at Zhang Xingwang and said solemnly: "Since Brother Zhang has inquired about the news clearly, then I won't lie to you." Yes, my tribe does have quite a few livestock for sale. ”

Seeing Zhang Xingwang's happy face, Narisong revealed another piece of news, "In fact, not only my tribe, but also some of my good brother tribes, there are also a lot of livestock for sale. Brother Zhang, do you want to buy these livestock? ”

Zhang Xingwang stroked his palms and said: "It is for this matter, I don't know if the Song Patriarch intends to sell this batch of livestock to me that day?" The price is easy to negotiate and will certainly not disappoint you. ”

That day, Song sat up straight, and said word by word: "I only exchange it, not sell it!" ”

Zhang Xingwang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Patriarch Risong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Na Risong sighed and said, "Even if I don't say it, presumably Brother Zhang has already seen that our tribe is now in crisis." To tell you the truth, I sold this batch of livestock to you at a high price, brother, and we have nowhere to buy grain with the silver taels. So we only plan to exchange food, not sell! ”

"Food?" Zhang Xingwang suddenly felt a little toothache, he originally heard a nephew in the clan say that there was a son of a large family who wanted to buy a large number of livestock, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Unexpectedly, that day pine did not plan to sell, but to exchange for food. To tell the truth, it was much more troublesome for him to get food than to get silver. What's more, I heard that there was also a locust plague in Liangzhou, at this time, food is more precious than anything else, and he can't store enough food himself, so how can he exchange it for livestock?

That day, Song saw that Zhang Xingwang's face changed, and his heart was also abrupt, and his tone became unconsciously anxious, "What...... Brother Zhang, aren't you going to change? ”

Zhang Xingwang let out a long sigh, "Patriarch Song that day, I'll tell you the truth." This batch of livestock is not what I want to buy, but I help others buy it, and the boy did not say that he would exchange it for grain. ”

"Also, I don't say that you should also know that the food target is too big for us to ship in large quantities. And now is an extraordinary time, I don't need to say the importance of food, you should also understand. ”

When Ri Song heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and he muttered to himself: "Mo Fei, God really wants to destroy my tribe!" ”

The expression on Zhang Xingwang's face kept changing, and he suddenly sighed and said: "Alas, Patriarch Song that day, otherwise, you can count how many livestock can be sold first, and I will go back and ask that prince first if he agrees with your conditions, and if he is willing to exchange food, I will send you a message." What do you think? ”

That Risong "Teng" got up from his position, bowed to him, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Zhang, if this can be done, Brother Zhang, you will be my brother in life and death in the future." ”

……

……

There is a raised mountain range at the junction of the Moxi grassland of the Mengyuan Empire and the Liangzhou of the Great Xia Dynasty, called Helan Mountain.

Helan Mountain is majestic, if the horses gallop, stretch for more than 200 kilometers, about 30 kilometers wide, the east side of the mountain is majestic and magnificent, the peaks and peaks overlap, the cliff valley is precipitous, the terrain is very dangerous.

It was one of the important barriers of Bactria against the Mongol Yuan in the northwest, and both sides amassed a large number of troops here. However, this does not mean that there is no way to communicate with each other at the border, there are many hidden trails in the Helan Mountains, which can still be freely traveled and not known to the armies of the Mengyuan Empire and the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, in a place called Helan Kougou, there is a dense forest. In ambush in the woods lurked a group of men and horses, the leader of which was a majestic man, with shaved hair and braids, a pair of huge brass rings hanging from his ears, a beard, a rough appearance, and a huge axe in his hand, and his eyes were closed.

Suddenly, a man ran in from outside the woods, came to the man's side, and whispered back: "Boss, that fat sheep is back, do you want to arrest him?" ”

The leader opened his big eyes like copper bells, shot out a terrifying light, and snorted coldly: "Balhu, can you inquire clearly about the purpose of that fat sheep's trip?" ”

Balhu staggered the leader's gaze slightly, and hurriedly nodded: "Boss, I have inquired clearly, I heard that it is going to trade with a small tribe below Turgot. ”

The leader sneered, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, "Deal...... Is it already done? ”

Balhu shook his head and said: "No, it seems that the two sides have not reached an agreement, and the fat sheep has gone to report the news." ”

The leader had a murderous look in his eyes, "Then arrange for someone to keep an eye on that fat sheep, and then catch it when they make a deal." By the way, find out the nest of the fat sheep, so that the brothers can relax and relax. ”
