In a valley outside the city of Ji County, there is snow outside the valley, and only here is the slippery ground exposed. The wind was cold, but when I got here, I couldn't blow in.

Lu Fan came here on horseback with the young man surnamed Le, and the weather became dark. He couldn't help but stop, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, I'm afraid there will be wind and snow." It's better to talk about it tomorrow. ”

The young man said, "It's in the valley ahead, it's already out, it's coming soon, and my father is waiting for Mr. in the valley." ”

Lu Fan showed the saber on his waist and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient today." ”

The young man smiled and raised his empty hands, and said, "Mr. must have misunderstood, and there is absolutely no intention to harm Mr. in the future." Besides, what good is it for us, sir, who is penniless and has taken your life? ”

Lu Fan said: "Kidnapping for ransom? ”

The young man said: "Sir's relatives and friends are all in the south, if you are kidnapped, I am afraid that your entourage will immediately abscond with the money, and I wish Mr. was trapped here." ”

Lu Fan thought about it for a while, so he urged the horse to continue to take two steps forward, and said, "If you haven't seen Ling Zun in a stick of incense, then I'll go back then." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him moved, and two horsemen came, holding torches in their hands, which stood out in the darkness.

The young man hurriedly said, "Here it is." ”

I saw that there was a huge body immediately, with two temples and gorgeous hair, and a face full of vicissitudes, but a pair of eagle eyes were blazing, and he glanced at Lu Fan, which made him feel excited.

"This is Mr. Lu Fan, right?"

"Who are you?"

"What a joy in the next place."

"Oh? I heard that the grandson of the white horse died in Yijing, and then Mr. Le disappeared, but how could he appear here? ”

Le Hedang laughed and said: "Mr. Lu is really well-read and strong, in a corner of Youzhou, such a small person as Le actually knows." ”

Lu Fan said: "How can Mr. Le be a small person? If I had come two years earlier, I would have done business with Mr. Le, and I would not have been humiliated by Yuan Xi'er. ”

He expected that He should be Gongsun Zhan's righteous brother, and he and the Yuan family were enemies, so he didn't mind venting his complaints about Yuan Xi.

Le Hedang smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Lu might as well come with me to take a look." ”

Several people and horses roared away together, and when they arrived at the mouth of the valley, Le Hedang waved it inside with a torch, and immediately dozens of sparks lit up inside, illuminating the valley all of a sudden.

Lu Fan was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, and he saw that the huge valley was densely packed with horses. There were all kinds of colors, and the horses meekly ate the grass on the ground with their heads bowed, ignoring the torches around them.

"How can there be so many?"

Le Hedang pointed to the horses in the valley and said, "Mr. Lu, is this a big business?" ”

Lu Fan remembered what he said when he mocked the young man Le Qiyang before, and couldn't help but blush, and gave a thumbs up and said: "Le He is really worthy of his reputation and generous." ”

Others called him by his name, but Le Hedang laughed unhappily and said, "To do business, you naturally have to do big business." What great business have those people in the city done with their money? ”

When Lu Fan heard him talk about business, he asked, "I just don't know what price Mr. Le wants?" ”

With one more way, Lu Fan is naturally in good spirits, but if Le Hedang's bid is also very high, he will not obediently obey.

Who knew that Le He stretched out his hand to compare a number, Lu Fan saw it really in the firelight, and said with surprise and joy: "Really? ”

This price can be said to be unaffordable, but compared to the current group of people in the city, it is already very good, and it is still his price in the exchange today.

"How many?"

"Two thousand."

"But I still have some companions......

"As soon as Mr. Lu leaves, they will naturally be able to buy horses."

"What about Lord Thorn?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to pay taxes?"

Lu Fan's heart thumped, in this way, he did save a lot of gold. It's just that business has to be long-term, and people's vision has to be far-sighted. This year's sum is done, but what about next year? Yuan Xi saw that he was suddenly gone, how could he allow himself to buy a horse again next year?

Le Hedang seemed to see his worries, and said, "Mr. Lu works for the Jiangdong Sun clan, so naturally the transaction will not be a one-time transaction. As long as Mr. Lu is willing to give me an extra 500 gold, if you come here again next year, I will prepare a horse for you, and the price will be lower than the price on the market. ”

Lu Fan thought to himself: Although 500 gold is a lot, it is really nothing compared to the capital of buying a horse. If you can get Le He as a stable seller, there will be a lot more room for operation in the future.

"It's just...... Mr. Le, how can you guarantee that you will still be able to make a living here next year? ”

Le He laughed out loud, and Le Qiyang also laughed.

"It's up to luck."

As soon as Lu Fan said this, he also secretly scolded himself for asking a stupid question. Since Le Hedang has a way to hide so many horses under Yuan Xi's nose, he naturally has the ability to continue trading. What's more, making a deal with Le He is equivalent to planting a nail in Yuan Xi and funding Yuan's enemies, which is also a good choice for the Jiangdong Sun family.

"Deal!"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone in the valley burst out laughing.

The next day, when Wen Qian got up, he felt that his eyelids were jumping hard. In the morning, I followed the owner of the wind and the others to the exchange.

The exchange has long been crowded, Yuan Xi is sitting in the main seat, and all the buyers have already arrived, but Lu Fan, who took the lead yesterday, is missing.

Yuan Xi saw that the seller had also arrived, so he earnestly instructed: "Today is the fourth day, if you can't reach a deal, this matter will be troublesome." When the time comes, the deal will fall through, and it will be a lose-lose. Since the tax was also cut yesterday, everyone can try to make a concession, and now some small transactions have been agreed, and the large ones can be discussed again. ”

He chattered, but both the buyer and the seller were a little absent-minded.

The owner of the wind village still took out the amount discussed yesterday from his bosom and was about to present it.

But the buyer's side was a little messy, and someone said: "This Mr. Lu didn't return overnight, I don't know where he went." ”

Another human: "I saw that in the early morning, his entourage drove away in a carriage. ”

"Didn't you say it sooner?" The man from earlier suddenly cried out.

"I thought it was someone else, so I didn't alarm everyone. Besides, he mobilized the convoy, how dare I talk casually. ”

Yuan Xi said: "You don't have to worry, just wait." I asked them to check the records of the entry and exit of the city gate today, and they found out. ”

Suddenly, someone ran in and said loudly: "Mr. Lu Fan is gone, leave a letter." ”

There was a lot of noise all around, and some people rushed over to get the letters, and some people began to talk. The owner of the wind village firmly held the cloth with the price written on it. Wen Qian's eyelids jumped even harder, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes.

The sound suddenly increased, humming and almost cracking the eardrums, and then they all landed together, and the contrast was obviously uncomfortable.

"What? He's gone? ”
