Chapter Twenty-Nine: Outwitting the Birth Gang (Ahh It's the horse team)

The Silk Road usually refers to the trade routes in northern Eurasia, where Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty and Ban Chao in the Eastern Han Dynasty opened up the land passage in the Western Regions to Chang'an and Luoyang, passing through the countries of the Tuyuhun and Tubo Western Regions, to Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting the countries of the Mediterranean. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This road is also known as the "Land Silk Road", and there will be an ancient tea horse road in the future, which will be more difficult to walk than this road, in order to distinguish the other two traffic routes with the name of "Silk Road" in the future. Silk products were the most influential among the goods transported west by this road, hence the name. Its basic direction was set in the Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty, including three routes: the South, the Middle and the North.

The merchants who can trade on this road are all powerful and powerful families in the Tang Dynasty, and they often use the tea, silk, porcelain and many other things of the Tang Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions, and exchange the spices, gold and silverware, wine syrup, and of course the beauties of the Western Regions.

In particular, this bearded girl, with a slender figure, a beautiful body, and a tall figure, is very popular with the nobles of Chang'an, so compared to those gold and silver utensils and spices, the value of orchids is much higher.

Therefore, the merchants who come and go here can only be described in one word, that is~ rich, especially the caravans returning from the Western Regions, the value of their goods can be described as having lost their conscience, and a trip can be enough for ordinary people to live for half a lifetime, even if it is a huge amount of money for the Yin Shi family, of course, high returns mean high risks, the harsh environment on the road, and the ruthless bandits hidden in the mountains, as long as there is one that is stalled by those caravans, it is a big event that is enough to annihilate.

The caravan is generally helmed by trustworthy people, and then by those old horse gangs who often come and go to the Silk Road, generally nothing happens, and Li Yuanji's caravan is the caravan that can be counted in the entire Chang'an City, this time there are more than 300 people who went out, and only less than 150 people are left who come back, although the damage is serious, but the harvest is definitely a hundred times the loss.

"I'm begging for the day, I'm finally about to arrive in Chang'an, if there is a next time, I don't want to go to that ghost place if I kill Lao Tzu."

A middle-aged man with a dark face, the armor on his body has become tattered, and the wound from the corner of his eye to his mouth is very terrifying, Xu has just healed, and the white-red wound is completely different from the dark on his face, making the whole person look more strong.

The person he was talking to was dressed like him, but his complexion was a little worse than this man's, he untied a kettle from his waist and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, probably not having fun, looking at the empty kettle, he opened his mouth and dripped it into his mouth unwillingly.

"Big brother, do you still have water, give me a few sips, I'm dying of thirst, didn't there be a few ditches before, I can't find it, it's really fucking evil."

The man with the scar who had just spoken shook his kettle, meaning that he was gone.

"Dog, in forbearance, the front is Zhouzhi County, when we arrive in Zhouzhi, let's eat and drink well, and we can go to Chang'an tomorrow night." This year's drought is severe, and it is the time when the farmer asks for water, so I am afraid that the farmers will cut off the ditch and water the fields."

The man who called the dog looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, and said sullenly: "This year is another dry year, don't you know how to open your eyes on dog days?" It's time for us to live a good life for a few years. ”

"Haha, who can touch Grandpa Tian's temperament, wait, I'll talk to the prince after this trip, see if we can go back to the house, and the remaining baby when we leave, I guess it should be called yes now."

Saying that, the scar man showed a trace of warmth on his face, and after a while, he saw a group of people carrying wooden barrels on their shoulders, moving in the direction of Chang'an City, and there was a small flag hanging on the burden at the head of the row, and the words on the small flag were crooked, and it took a long time to recognize them, and those two words were mash.

Mash is also known as sweet wine, but also glutinous rice wine, this kind of wine is not so much wine, but more suitable as a drink, after all, this wine is a little sweet, slightly with a little wine taste, Li Bai's "Jinling Wine Shop Farewell" "The wind blows the willow flowers all over the store, Wu Ji presses the wine to persuade the guests to taste", it is said that this mash is usually drunk by farmers who go to the field and poor people who set up stalls, but at this time it has become the biggest temptation of the caravan.

"Haha, I haven't drunk this thing in almost two years, and I've almost forgotten the sweetness of the tired dead."

The mash is sweet but sweet, how to get tired of the dead saying, this man is afraid that he is homesick and is about to go crazy, after all, the most anticipated thing after two years of boiling is all kinds of things in the family, the general nature of this person, when he is outside, he doesn't think much about it, the more he arrives at the door, the more itchy his heart is.

"Big brother, the weather is hot and dry, let's wait until noon is over before leaving, tell the convoy behind to come over, drink a bowl of mash, and tell the brothers to get home."

As soon as the dog egg spoke, Scarface was a little embarrassed, looked at the sun in the sky, it was almost noon, although there was no dog day at this time, but it was not far off, looking at Scarface's throat moved, I knew that he was tempted, and the dog Dan smiled and said: "Big brother, rest, anyway, I have arrived in Chang'an, what else is there to be afraid of." ”

Scarface swallowed dryly and said to the crowd, "Stop and rest, and wait until after noon before leaving." ”

The convoy came to a slow halt, the groom untied the carriage and got the horse tethered to the shade, got some licorice from the cart for the horse to eat, leaned on the trunk of the tree and waited, Scarface got off the horse, and shouted to a few people who were fighting the burden in the distance.

"The mash seller, come over here."

The leader of the row is called Wu Zichu, a man in his thirties, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard Scarface's words: "Rigou, I thought you didn't go on the trap, so I broke the ditch one night in advance for you." ”

"Hey~ The hero wants to buy mash."

Watching Wu Zichu turn around, Scarface's throat churned again, obviously a little thirsty, the car should have carried water, there is no shortage of water in Guanzhong, in order to reduce the burden on the horse, after arriving in Longyou, all the waterwheels were replaced with loads, but who would have thought that the water sources here were cut off, and the throats of everyone who hadn't drunk a sip of water in the morning began to burst into flames.

"Let's pull it all over, let's buy it directly, and save you some effort."

While speaking, Wu Zichu had already come closer, and carefully put the wooden barrel on the ground, for fear of sprinkling a drop, looking at Wu Zichu's appearance, Scarface smiled and said: "It's the temperament of the people in our Guanzhong, and the door is tight." ”

Wu Zichu looked at the convoy behind him, and then said with a smile. "It's all made by my own mother-in-law and aunt, and I rely on this little thing to get two clothes for my mother-in-law to wear, and the hero has just come back from the west." ”

"Well, this mash tastes pure, how can it be sold." Scarface didn't speak, it's not that he couldn't say it, although he arrived at the Guanzhong realm, although there was less danger, it was not nothing, and his cautious temperament made him try to avoid talking about these things.

"Hehe, if a good man takes a fancy to it, we have a total of sixteen barrels, and we will sell you for four dollars, what's the matter."

Scarface heard that this man was simple, if these things arrived in Chang'an, it would be at least five yuan, and one yuan would be one hundred yuan, and for a farmer, one money was not a decimal.

"When I arrived in Chang'an, it was just an extra penny of silver, our house was close to here, and the cost of eating and drinking back and forth was not a small number, besides, if we went back today, we could go to Chang'an tomorrow."

Scarface smiled, then took out a bunch of money and threw it to Wu Zichu without looking at it and said: "It's all bitter, it's not easy, don't take advantage of you, count five hundred big sons yourself, and I will pay back the rest of the sex." ”

Saying that, he shook it out of the bucket and drank it all night, and the sweet feeling made Scarface moan comfortably~ groaned.

"What's the matter, our mash is pure and impure."

The wooden scoop who took the scarlet said with a smile on his face.

"Good stuff."

Looking at the people behind him who spat bluntly, but no one made a move, Wu Zichu knew that Scarface was acting cautiously, put the scoop into the bucket and pressed the machine wide, and while stirring it, he said to Scarface: "It's a little heavy, stir it first, and it will taste stronger after a while." ”

Scarface sensed it carefully for a while, found that there was nothing unusual, and said to everyone: "Come on, come on, come and drink two sips of mash to quench your thirst, and after drinking it, you will go on the road after resting for a while!" ”

Returning the remaining five hundred dollars to Scarface, Wu Zichu smiled and said: "Then the heroes will rest first, let's go back first, if you want our mash next time, come to Zhuangzi here, our Zhuangzi's mash is a must in Chang'an City." ”

Scarface laughed when he heard this: "Haha, what a trader, he knows how to do business, and he knows how to attract repeat customers." ”

Li Chengqian, who was in the woods, sat on the stone and watched everything that happened at the bottom of the mountain, and kept muttering: "This damn thing, there is no challenge at all, and if you drink it, it will be a drug test?" Whoever told him that he couldn't wait for him to finish drinking before taking the drug. ”

Yin Zhihong on the side broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, the scar face is a good style, whoever does the grabbing of goods in the Chang'an realm will only count you, and he still complains about this.

"Let's go, tell the brothers in the back, see the officers and soldiers don't show their feet, just say that it is the Zheng family's horse team, and their goods will be brought back to the village first."

I saw a group of people quickly remove the mountain, pull the hidden cart at the foot of the mountain onto the main road and walk in the direction of Luoyang City in the east, and another group of people walked in the direction of Scarface.

Looking at the people who had fallen to the ground at this time, Li Chengqian's mouth hooked a smile, and said to the scar face who was already asleep: "I'm sorry uncle, our family is very short of money, this is my third uncle's thing, my nephew borrowed it and used it, I don't think he will be angry." ”

"Take the things up the mountain and hide them, take the carriage to Yongnian County, leave the horses, throw the carriage into the river, and we will come to pick up our goods in three days."

A good trick to steal beams and change pillars, inertial thinking will make them think that the horse team loaded with stones is their horse team, and the things they lose are on the mountain not far from them? And by the time they found out, it was already too late.
