Chapter 69 The Bashuluo Family

"Childe, it's the Luo family of the Bashu Wang clan!" Meng Ping responded excitedly.

"Bashu 、、、、、、 Luo family? Is it the Luo family that has been running tea for generations? Gongzi Wei Xing seemed to remember a little, Mr. once told him about the famous families in the Central Plains, but after a long time, he forgot a lot, so he asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, the Luo family is one of the long-lasting tea merchants in the Bashu area, which has been inherited for hundreds of years and has always had a good reputation; When I was in Chang'an in my early years, I had heard of the name of the Luo family! Meng Ping said with a smile.

In this era, grain, cloth, salt, iron, tea, and livestock are the main bodies of trade, among which salt, iron, and tea have benefited a lot, and another tea is easy to carry and has always been an important commodity on the Silk Road.

If Phoenix Fort has a relationship with a famous tea merchant, it is naturally a very beneficial and big thing, Meng Ping can taste the sweetness from the Tiger Dart Bureau in Yangguan Town, which is why he attaches great importance to the Luo family of Bashu.

"It's more than 2,000 miles away from the Bashu area, and there is a Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in between, how could they appear here?" Gongzi Wei Xing is very strange.

"Childe, I rushed over without asking more, let's go and have a look!" Meng Ping urged.

、、、、、、

In Gongzi's tent, Wei Xing handed over a bowl of boiling water, and asked the middle-aged man very kindly, "Uncle Luo, how can a dozen of you become slaves of the Sai people?" ”

Etiquette to others, there must be something to seek, Gongzi Wei Xing is extremely skilled in this move!

The corners of Meng Ping's mouth, who was sitting with him, twitched twice unintentionally, and once again he heard Gongzi call Luo Yun, a middle-aged man from the Bashuluo family, in a familiar tone, and he knew that Gongzi had a small abacus in his heart again.

Luo Yun cautiously took the water bowl, and responded timidly: "Gongzi Wei's status is noble, or call me Luo Yun directly, it's better!" ”

Gongzi Wei Xing said: "Uncle Luo, you are going to see outside!" Our colleagues from the Central Plains, we have a fate to get together in this place, it must be God's providence, don't be too rusty! ”

"Besides, if you talk about family background and status, the Luo family, a tea merchant in Bashu, has been famous in Middle-earth for hundreds of years, and Uncle Luo is much more noble than the untouchable status of the kid! Uncle Luo looks down on the kid and thinks that the kid has climbed the branches, right? ”

"How dare you, how dare you, Gongzi Wei is serious, serious, Luo Yun's lives are still thanks to Gongzi's rescue, and they have a chance to escape from the tiger's den and wolf's lair, and it's too late to be grateful." Luo Yun was caught Xiao Wan as a slave for more than two years, and the pride and confidence on his body have long been smoothed out, and now he doesn't dare to offend this young and excessive castle owner at will, who knows what kind of temperament he is?

He Luo Yun has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time before, and he has seen all kinds of people, but he doesn't dare to trust strangers too casually;

Etiquette must be asked for by others, Luo Yun knew this trick very well, but his heart was secretly calm, he didn't want to do anything damn slave anymore!

If it weren't for the secret care of other companions, he Luo Yun would have died of overwhelm!

At the same time, he was also very fortunate that he was lucky enough to meet the men and horses led by the descendants of the Han people in this wild place.

They have been slaves for more than two years, more than 300 partners have died one after another, and slowly only these dozen people are left, and they have never seen the hope of life, life is better than death, and they are almost on the verge of collapse!

Today, he was unexpectedly courteous, and he was as grateful as a dozen other companions.

"Uncle Luo, since we are so fateful, we have decided like this, don't look down on me, a kid from the land of Huhua!" Childe Wei Xing said half-forced, half-jokingly.

"Wei Gongzi is the red rabbit among Lu Bu and Ma among people, Luo Yun won't look away!" Luo Yun cautiously complimented.

Gongzi Wei Xing was a little depressed, and complained in his heart: Lu Bu, the god of war of ten thousand enemies, died in the hands of my ancestor, is it really good that you praise me like this?

Luo Yun is a human spirit, and he noticed the slight discomfort and embarrassment on Wei Gongzi's face in a timely manner, and he was very surprised in his heart, but he quickly changed the topic and began to tell the miserable experience of a group of them.

It turns out that the people in the Bashu area have a tradition of white stone believing, and ordinary people use big white stone to express their worship of various gods;

Since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the jade of Khotan has continued to flow into the Central Plains and is loved by people from all walks of life in the Central Plains;

Slowly, large families with considerable assets in the Bashu area gradually began to use Khotanese jade instead of ordinary white stone to worship the gods.

The Luo family of Bashu knew a secret path from Bashu to the Western Regions through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they often used the secret path to transport their tea to various parts of the Western Regions.

Two years ago, the patriarch of the Luo family wanted to open up the jade trade route between Khotan and Bashu, so he sent Luo Yun to Khotan to trade jade.

Who, everything went smoothly in the early stage, but in the process of returning, passing through the territory of Xiaowan Kingdom, but was accidentally robbed by the tribe of the Cypriots, more than half of the people killed in the battle, and still did not escape the tragic ending, all the people who were still alive ended up becoming slaves and being bullied arbitrarily.

"Stupid Cypriots, dare to rob our Han people and look for death!"

"Uncle Luo, don't worry, our Phoenix Fort will definitely avenge you." Gongzi Wei Xing stood up suddenly, and angrily reprimanded Xiao Wanguo's evil deeds.

Luo Yun didn't know how much sincerity this Wei Gongzi had, but he was also very grateful in his heart, sighed a few times, and secretly cautiously tested: "Thank you Wei Gongzi for your righteous words, those of us who are still alive don't dare to beg for anything too much, just ask for the blessing of the gods, and be content to return to our hometown safely!" ”

"Uncle Luo, don't worry! You will definitely return to Bashu in peace, I can guarantee that! Gongzi Wei Xing promised very solemnly.

"Thank you Gongzi for his righteousness, the Bashuluo family will never forget the kindness of Wei Gongzi, and they will be repaid!" Luo Yun knelt down excitedly, and the other dozen or so companions also knelt down on the spot.

Although I don't know what the plans and intentions of this young Wei Gongzi are, as long as they can return to their hometown smoothly, they will try their best to do it if they fight for their lives.

"Uncle Luo, please hurry up, the kid can't stand it! You're breaking your lifespan, and if you don't get up again, the kid will be angry!" Gongzi Wei Xing hurriedly helped Luo Yun, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Wei Gongzi's high righteousness, Luo Yun is ashamed! If there is anything that needs help in Phoenix Castle, if Luo Yun can do it, he will definitely die with all his might! Luo Yun said sincerely.

Gongzi Wei Xing naturally asked for something, but everyone had not been in contact for a long time, so he naturally knew that this was not a good time, so he immediately covered up the past and said: "I was lucky to save more than a dozen people from Uncle Luo, this is an accidental factor, and we Phoenix Fort dare not take credit; We are all Han Chinese, and we are of the same race, and if we had known about your situation earlier, we would have saved you a long time ago. ”

For this kind of benevolent words, Gongzi Wei Xing opened his mouth and came, so that Meng Ping, who was sitting with him, secretly shook his head and was speechless;

He himself could not have uttered such a natural lie.

At this time, Wei Zhong lifted the leather curtain and nodded to Gongzi, everything was ready.

"Uncle Luo, there are nothing good in this wild place, only some horse meat is roasted, let me forgive me!" Childe Wei Xing invited everyone out to eat with gestures, and apologized together.

"Wei Gongzi is too outsider, we people are hungry every day, and some of us are very satisfied with food, and we don't dare to ask for anything else!" Luo Yun immediately stood up and thanked excitedly, for more than two years, they had had enough of hunger.

The more Wei Gongzi didn't say what Phoenix Fort needed, the more Luo Yun felt that this was not a trivial matter, and the more worried he became, but he didn't dare to show it at all, afraid that he would enter a situation where life was worse than death.

、、、、、、

"Uncle Luo, how does it taste?" Gongzi Wei Xing asked enthusiastically.

Luo Yun patted his stomach with satisfaction and replied happily, "This is the best food I've ever eaten!" ”

"Uncle Luo, you should add a prefix "these years", hahaha、、、、、、" Gongzi Wei Xing took the opportunity to quip, wanting to liven up the atmosphere.

Luo Yun shook his head sadly, and then smiled bitterly.

After that, Luo Yun felt uneasy, and asked cautiously again: "Childe, what do you need us to do, just say it, we are all brothers of Phoenix Castle, as long as we can do it, we will do our best to do it!" ”

"Uncle Luo, don't worry! You eat more barbecue to make up for the lack of body in the past two years, don't collapse! "Gongzi Wei Xing knows the skills of fishing very well, and he didn't rush anything too early.

"Wei Gongzi, just say it directly, let us lucky people who have just escaped from hell completely settle down!"

If it was before, Luo Yun still had the patience to secretly confront him a few times, but after more than two years of slave life, he no longer had that heart, and he wanted to know immediately whether he was dead or alive.

"Uncle Luo, our Phoenix Castle is praying for some small things from the Bashu Luo family!" Gongzi Wei Xing said in a serious voice.

The Bashu area is rich in salt, but Phoenix Fort has always lacked salt;

The coarse salt purchased at a high price, Phoenix Fort has always been regarded as the most important resource, and there are strict standards for the use of each day, and we dare not waste it in the slightest.

Salt contains several of the most important elements that the human body needs, and if you don't eat salt, you have no strength, and it is an indispensable thing.

Fortunately, some fish are rich in salt, which can make up for it a little, and it didn't make Phoenix Castle into a desperate situation!

"Please say it to Master Wei, although I have some status in the Bashuluo family, I can't be the master in some major matters, so I can only do my best!" Luo Yun showed a solemn expression, he had already made the worst plan in his heart, he had feelings for the family, but he would not betray the interests of the family because of his own life.

"Uncle Tiger, I heard that Bashu has been rich in salt since ancient times, right?" Gongzi Wei Xing asked calmly.

Hearing the word salt, Luo Yun's mood suddenly rose from hell to heaven, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest a few times, and gasped: "It turns out that you Phoenix Fort need salt, which scared me a lot!" ”

"The Bashu area is rich in salt, but it is not as good as the sea salt in the Qilu area in all aspects!"

Gongzi Wei Xing explained embarrassedly: "Uncle Luo, we are even very short of coarse salt with very poor quality, how dare we ask for any sea salt in the Qilu area?" ”

"As long as there is enough salt, we will be thankful for Phoenix Fort!"

Luo Yun thought for a moment and said: "Master Wei, the secret path mastered by our Luo family is very steep and dangerous, it's okay to send some dried tea bricks on horseback, but it seems to be a bit troublesome and not cost-effective to trade salt!"

"Uncle Luo, don't worry, our Phoenix Fort won't let your Luo family work in vain, a pound of salt for a pound of raisins!" Gongzi Wei Xing comforted.

"Raisins? Do you have vineyards in Fort Phoenix? "Luo Yunke knows very well how well raisins are sold in the Central Plains, and the princes and nobles love it!

"Secret!"

"Uncle Luo, you just need to know that our Phoenix Fort can provide you with a sufficient number of raisins!" Gongzi Wei Xing smiled solemnly.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't pay attention for a while!" Luo Yun naturally knew that the preciousness of the vineyard was similar to an inexhaustible mountain of gold, and the various kingdoms were extremely tightly guarded, and would not let any grape seeds pass on.

"Uncle Luo, how is it? Is your family interested in this business? "Gongzi Wei Xing doesn't believe that the Bashuluo family will not be uninterested in him.

Luo Yun was full of hesitation and hesitation, and there was no scene like Gongzi Wei Xing's speculation.

Gongzi Wei Xing was surprised in his heart, and continued to ask, "Uncle Luo, what's wrong?" Is your family really not interested? ”

Luo Yun sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Our Luo family is naturally very interested, but Phoenix Fort saved our lives, if Luo is greedy for your money, he will lose the family style of the Luo family!" ”

This made everyone inexplicable.

"Actually, you Phoenix Fort don't have to go far and wide, you also have salt in the Western Regions!"

"What? Really? Childe Wei Xing was as shocked as everyone else, and couldn't believe what he heard in his ears.
