Wang Huaqiang had never seen their transactions before, and he didn't know their rules, and when he heard An Xinggui say this, he realized that it made sense, if he went to the grassland opposite, in case An Suiyu wanted to eat black and eat black, and put the canyon in one place, then I was afraid that An Xinggui would have to explain his life here.

An Suiyu seemed a little surprised, first stunned, and then smiled: "Uncle Xinggui, we have traded so many times, and we have also made bigger transactions than this, sometimes here, sometimes on the other side, and sometimes in the canyon, you were not like today at that time." ”

An Xinggui said coldly: "Yu'er, today is the first time you broke the rules, we agreed before, there are no ambushes on the mountains on both sides of the canyon, familiar and familiar, but the rules can't be broken." Didn't your brother teach you this? ”

An Suiyu explained: "Uncle Xinggui, this transaction is different from usual, although we smuggled before, but not pig iron trading, as long as the goods arrived here, the cavalry of the Western Turks and Gaochang would not embarrass us, at most spend some money to eliminate the disaster, but this time it is the iron ore trade strictly prohibited by the Western Turks, so we have to guard against it." ”

An Xinggui snorted heavily: "Yes, you said that you want to defend, that is, you are taking your condor archers to ambush on the mountain, and there is a large army behind to respond, in case we pass, you don't give money and rob it directly, what should I do?" ”

An Suiyu was also a little unhappy, and the tone that had been very gentle just now became a little tough: "Uncle Xinggui, what's wrong with you today, I have already explained just now, the ambush is to prevent the cavalry of Datou Khan from making trouble, not against you." If we really had the idea of killing people and selling goods, we would have done it earlier, would we still have to wait until now? ”

An Xinggui laughed: "Yu'er, how could Datou Khan be so coincidental, we didn't come to rob and kill all the way, but we would send troops in Xingxing Gorge, the place where we traded, do you think that a few of us are old and confused, and you will be fooled?" ”

An Suiyu said angrily: "Uncle Xinggui, today's transaction is very important, we made some preparations in advance on the mountain just in case, I don't know why I offended you, this transaction was carried out by me and Brother Wei Chi, you Gu Zang Haoshang just played the role of an intermediate escort, if you feel dissatisfied, you don't have to continue the transaction, and when Brother Wei Chi gets the money, he will naturally share you." ”

A hint of malice appeared on An Xinggui's face: "Hmph, Yu'er, it turned out that the good deal would not be with Brother Wei Chi, but he must insist on keeping up, I felt that something was wrong at that time, but Brother Wei Chi insisted on coming with me, I am afraid that you will also make an appointment early in the morning, and you are ready to get rid of us when you trade." ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't expect that An Xinggui didn't talk much along the way, but he had been thinking about it all the time, he suddenly felt that the danger was around, and said in a deep voice: "An Xingshou, what are you going to do?" ”

An Xinggui's eyes flashed: "According to the old rules, it will be delivered here, and after we get the money, we will bring it back to Guzang, and you will go back to the East-Turks." ”

Wang Huaqiang felt that An Xinggui had always insisted on trading in the desert, and there was always something wrong, so he shook his head and said: "An Xingshou, you are also a smart person, Ayu just said it makes sense, this is a dangerous place, Datou Khan's soldiers and horses may appear at any time, and when we reach the other side of the canyon, we will be safe." Are you afraid that you will lose your benefits? ”

An Xinggui said sharply: "Okay, there is no need to say a lot of nonsense, An Suiyu, let your people withdraw from the mountain first, and then we will trade here, and after the transaction is over, everyone will go back." ”

An Suiyu said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Xinggui, even if we trade here, why do you want my people to withdraw from the top of the mountain?" What if the people who reached the head of the Khan were killed at this time? ”

An Xinggui said coldly: "Yu'er, you are a smart person, at this time, I don't worry about the soldiers of Datou at all, I'm just afraid that your people will have different intentions, I don't like to point arrows at the head in a high place when trading with people, it's as simple as that." ”

An Suiyu turned his head to look at Wang Huaqiang: "Brother Wei Chi, what do you think?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart gradually had a very bad premonition, this feeling appeared on the night of the last time he crossed the river to conquer Nanchen, and the eldest brother died in battle, An Xinggui was obviously not stimulated by the archers on the high mountain for a while and proposed this mentions, judging from his abnormal behavior of rarely talking and communicating with himself these days, this person is likely to be doing some small actions.

But Wang Huaqiang knows that he can't completely reject An Xinggui now, and before he breaks his conspiracy, any move between himself and An Suiyu to stand together will be sprayed by An Xinggui as a private tandem between the two. So Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, and said to An Suiyu: "An Xingshou is his own person, do what he wants, finish counting the goods as soon as possible, and go back early." ”

An Suiyu looked at Wang Huaqiang, gritted his teeth, turned around and said a few words to a few knights behind him, and one of the knights led by him turned his horse and galloped back, and after a while, the Turkic condor archers on the high cliff disappeared one after another.

An Xinggui's face showed a strange smile, and he arched his hand towards An Suiyu, who had been silent, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "Yu'er, in business, I have offended." ”

An Suiyu replied coldly: "Uncle Xinggui, Yu'er has already done what you wanted, can we start trading now?" ”

An Xinggui smiled and nodded: "Of course, let's start." ”

An Suiyu raised his hand to the camel team that had been standing behind for a long time, and those servants jumped off the cart one after another, unloaded the boxes from it, and moved them to the open space between the two caravans to open them.

Wang Huaqiang also turned his head to Duan Da and the others and shouted: "Manager Duan, let everyone hurry up and unload the goods, trade early, and go back early." ”

Duan Da didn't get the beauty difference of moving the warehouse last time when he was in the palace of Chen Guo, and he had never seen so many gold bars in his life, his eyes were straight just now, and when he heard Wang Huaqiang's words, he woke up like a dream, swallowed saliva, and shouted to his subordinates behind him who were also straight-eyed: "Look at what, hurry up and unload the goods!"

An Xinggui also turned his horse's head, turned around and shouted at his subordinates to help unload the goods together, taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Huaqiang took two steps forward and whispered to Duan Da: "Brother Duan, I think something is wrong, you should prepare for battle in a while, if there is an enemy attack, leave the iron ore alone, and find a way to rush through the canyon to the territory of the East Turks." ”

Duan Da was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced at An Suiyu and An Xinggui, who were nervously directing their own people to move the goods, and lowered his voice: "An Suiyu, there should be no problem, An Xinggui is a little strange, he has been at the back of the team these days, and he deliberately detoured, I am worried that he will make some small moves with him, what gust of wind did that Li Fan mention last time, we have to guard against it." ”

Duan Da's face changed greatly: "How can this be!"

Wang Huaqiang whispered: "This is just my speculation, there is no evidence yet, in short, we must be prepared, when they trade for a while, they can't relax, anyway, it's okay if the iron ore is lost, but the life must be saved, and also, we must do our best to protect General Changsun, he can't have an accident." Now you quickly send dozens of brothers to secretly climb to the top of the mountain, and the highest point cannot be occupied. ”

Duan Da nodded seriously: "Hua Qiang, listen to your arrangement." He turned his head to the back and shouted, "Lao Zheng, Lao Wu, you two come over here." ”

When the two spoke, An Suiyu and An Xinggui's subordinates had already placed gold and iron ore in the middle of the two caravans, and An Suiyu brought more than 4,000 catties of gold this time, all of which were gold bars weighing one or two, a box of fifty catties, lined up, illuminating this open space with golden light, and even the noon heat of this desert was ignored by everyone.

And An Xinggui's subordinates moved out 500,000 catties of iron ore, all of which were hundreds of catties packed into a big cloth bag, which was heavy and piled together like a small mountain. An Suiyu bent down and checked the iron ore in these cloth bags one by one, and kept weighing these black stones, his face was happy.

Wang Huaqiang looked at the surrounding environment, shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: Maybe I'm nervous. The area around this place is open, and it is impossible to hide the attack of a large group of cavalry.

Suddenly, An Xinggui's roar came from his ears: "Do it!"
