Chapter 3 Merchant Side Stop

"Youzhou? As far as I know, it's a pool of bottomless muddy water, and how can a good errand have mine? Besides, when I go back to Youzhou, I don't know if Li Quanzhong will find trouble. Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes and pouted.

"Alas...... Li Quanzhong can't always think about you as a small team! You are still young, and you are familiar with military books, and your martial arts are extraordinary, as long as you can withstand a few battles, you will be able to shine. I just hope that when you call Bainuo, you still remember the old age. Duan Zhongzhong leaned over and said earnestly.

"Oh...... Please also ask Mr. Duan to tell me in detail, which big names do you know in Youzhou? I'm good to think about it. Zhuang Yi asked curiously.

"If you are interested, I will write you a letter of recommendation, and then take my name and go to Youzhou to meet General Gao Shunli, and I will be able to reuse it." Duan Zhongzhong said proudly.

"Gao Shunli? You actually know him, I have heard of this person, he is the current head of the Bohai Gao family, one of the Wangda surnames of Youzhou County, and the others are not very clear. ”

Seeing Zhuang Yi's confused appearance, Duan Zhongzhong stroked his forehead with his hand, and was speechless for a moment. He shook his head and said: "General Gao Shunli is now under the command of Lu Long and Li Quanzhong, and he is the envoy of the Huaishu army in Yanzhou. ”

"Huai Shu Army? Li Quanzhong? Zhuang Yi touched his chin and muttered thoughtfully, knowledge of history and sinology is not his strong point, at most it is only at the level of high school students.

"Li Quanzhong is a person, I have no friendship with him...... You also practice marksmanship on weekdays, and the ancestral marksmanship of the Gao family is quite unique, if you go, Gao Shunli will definitely be interested, maybe he will give you a point or two, isn't this a beautiful thing. Duan Zhongzhong's face was overjoyed, and he almost yelled: Promise me quickly!

"Don't go! Since then, he has been branded by the Gao family, isn't that self-restraint? Entrusting one's future and destiny in the hands of others is not my Zhuang someone's style. Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes and immediately refused.

"You, you...... Okay, you're a kid with eyes above the top, don't I see that you're in a disadvantageous position, and I don't appreciate it if I kindly help you, just let it go...... Hello do it yourself! Duan Zhongzhong was choked half to death, stomped his feet hard, flicked his sleeves, and walked away in a huff.

Looking at Duan Zhongzhong's distant back, Zhuang Yi sneered in his heart, in the final analysis, he didn't want to let himself bow his head or flash people, he said: Help yourself find an errand, how much sincerity you have, you have to say two......

Zhao Quanyi, Zhuang Yi can see it, relying on that group of rough men as his little brother to make a fortune, obviously he hinted to Duan Zhongzhong to make peace, and Duan Zhongzhong also has his own ideas.

Do you want me to apologize and bow my allegiance to him from now on? How fucking dare you think about it! Even if it's not the same world it used to be, so what? As far as Zhao Quanyi and his subordinates are concerned, Zhuang Yi has never seen it squarely.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Quanyi summoned everyone to discuss the matter, Zhuang Yi didn't bother to go at all, and he didn't call him anyway, if he went, he would be bored. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Zhao Quanyi to ask people to find him again.

It was An Huaixin, seventeen years old, not tall, thick and strong, slightly lapped legs, always silent and shy, introverted and shy, and often served as a patrol guard in the village with the half-grown children of Bian Wu.

"Mr. Zhuang! Lord Zhao asked me to call you over......"

"What? Didn't you notify me? What did he say? Zhuang Yi was surprised.

"Mr. went to the ...... of self-knowledge"

"That's it! Let's go......"

Seeing from a distance that Zhao Quanyi's compound was overcrowded and lively like a vegetable market, Zhuang Yi frowned, strode through the courtyard gate, but saw a group of big and small leaders coming out of the lobby, obviously having finished their deliberations.

Zhuang Yi was about to go in, but he heard a leader surnamed Gao snorting disdainfully behind him, and shouted loudly: "Who does someone think he is!" Zhao Dalang kindly took him in, he didn't know how to repay the favor, but he didn't take Dalang in his eyes, this kind of dog thing that didn't know what to do, Zhao Dalang still left him here to do something, it was really a waste of the food that the brothers had worked so hard to get. Brother Zhang...... Don't you say? ”

This person Zhuang Yi also knows, his name is Gao Hongxun, and Shi Dazhong is the second general of Zhao Quanyi.

"Ahem...... Brother Gao! It's over! Many brothers in the village have a lot of strength, why bother to say such words that hurt the harmony...... "This surname Zhang is the son of the old man Zhang Tou, named Zhang Zhen, twenty-five years old, has always been close to Zhuang Yi, and hurriedly persuaded when he heard this.

Zhuang Yi saw that they were walking away as they spoke, and he was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't care about it, so he walked straight into the lobby.

"Zhuang Dalang! Why don't you come to today's meeting? Zhao Quanyi sat cross-legged in the lobby behind the desk in the middle of the table, touching his yellow curly beard. Seeing Zhuang Yi coming in, he asked with an unnatural expression.

deliberately didn't call himself, and now he is questioning, playing this kind of ghost trick with Lao Tzu, it's really pediatric. Zhuang Yi scolded in his heart, so he had to step forward and bow stiffly, and said: "I don't know if the big boss is looking for me, what do you have to say." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Quanyi let out a long oh, and there was no follow-up for a long time.

Zhuang Yi looked up and saw that he was staring at him with blazing eyes. I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and glared back.

"That's it...... You've been in the village for almost a month, and it's time to do something. Mr. Duan, come on! The corners of Zhao Quanyi's eyes jumped, and he finally spoke.

"Huh...... That is true! The big boss originally planned to go to Wulieshui, but this morning a spy came back to report that the Xi people's own house had started fighting, and the sentinels were scattered far away, and it was difficult for us to find a chance to attack. Therefore, I can only go to Jizhou to exchange food with the Tun army. The big boss plans to let you go with you this time, don't let the big boss down! Duan Zhongzhong said.

"Is that okay? We have done business with the Tun army over there before? Zhuang Yi asked in surprise.

"Of course...... We need food, salt, cloth, and weapons, and they also need horses and furs, and we have them in the village. You just need to follow the escort and set off early tomorrow morning, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Duan Zhongzhong explained.

"That's good! I haven't been out for a month, and I want to go out to see ......," Zhuang Yi said with great joy.

"Youzhou...... You really don't want to go? Duan Zhongzhong asked with some expectation.

"I like to be free, I don't want to be restrained, I can only live up to your kindness." Zhuang Yi replied apologetically.

Three days later, early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhuang Yi prepared dry food and water, and brought weapons, which were a spear, a horizontal knife, and a bow and arrow.

"Mr. Zhuang! It's your horse, and I've pulled it for you. Let's go, everyone is loading the pack horses on the side of the storehouse, and they are in a hurry. ”

"Who's leading the team? How many people are there? Zhuang Yi took the reins of the horse and asked casually.

"This time it was a tall and fat man who led the team, a total of more than 50 people, and there were really a lot of goods, 100 high-quality horses, and a lot of raw hides and ......"

"I've taught you a long time ago, to tell you the exact number, what is a hundred and ten? How much is that? Zhuang Yi stretched out his hand and gave Bian Wu a burst chestnut.

"Just take a look, how do I know how many there are......" Bian Wu scratched his head, pouted, and looked aggrieved.

"How much grain can a good horse get in exchange? And what is the price of raw hides? Zhuang Yi has not been very clear about this.

"I know this, if those tun troops don't lower the price, a good horse should be able to sell for four or five yuan, a bucket of corn is about four hundred yuan, wheat may also cost five hundred and fifty yuan a bucket, a horse can be exchanged for ten buckets of rice, as for raw hides, a hundred yuan a piece, if it is nitrated, the price will be higher, this common people don't want it, only those tun troops use it to make armor." Bian Wu tilted his head and calculated, and said happily.

"A bucket of grain is about twelve and a half catties? A hundred horses is more than 10,000 catties of grain! Gee...... It's still very profitable, and this no-capital business is very good. Zhuang Yi silently calculated and muttered thoughtfully.

It took him a lot of time to ask Duan Zhongzhong for advice on the conversion of these weights and measurements before he figured it out.

When they reached a small depression at the foot of the mountain, there was already the sound of people shouting and neighing, and everyone was ready to go. Zhao Quanyi and Duan Zhongzhong were standing aside, and an obese middle-aged man was reporting the quantity of goods to them. This fat man is also a big boss, and everyone has always called him "Tall Fat Man".

"Why are you only here now, hurry up and load the goods and get ready to go......," Zhao Quanyi scolded loudly.

Zhuang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked over with a big thorn, picked up a large bundle of raw hides and tied it to the back of a pack horse, but halfway through the tie, the big fat man shouted and scolded.

"What the fuck ...... I'm blind, that's the goods that are being given away, come here! ”

Zhuang Yi was furious, and stepped forward in a few steps, without speaking, his eyes staring at him coldly like a sword. The tall fat man was startled and shouted, "What are you doing?" If it's against you, you have to move the goods if you are told to move ......"

"You're going to die an ugly death...... I'll tell you first. Zhuang Yi leaned into his ear and said coldly, this kind of small role, some have the opportunity to clean him up, but not now, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, although his master is just like this, but it is still necessary to endure it.

Half an hour later, after the goods were loaded, Zhao Quanyi pulled the tall fat man aside, muttered for a long time, and then shouted "go", so this team of pack horses, which was also a thief and a businessman, drove more than a dozen carriages full of goods, and set off out of the gate of the cottage and set off in the direction of Lu Longsai.
