Section 82 Accidental rejection
No matter how far the road is, as long as you keep moving forward, there will always be a moment of arrival.
Viga also seemed to know the merchant's eagerness, and somewhat sped up, and this is when his role really showed. There were no roads in the grassland, and there were not many people walking, so they couldn't be transformed into roads. Many times the journey seems to be exhausted, and under his leadership, there will be bright futures. In this way, the caravan took the correct route, which undoubtedly saved too much time.
As Xiao Buyi said, they came prepared, and after returning from the ghosts, everyone traveled on the grassland for ten days, and there were no horse bandits to rob them.
The businessmen all felt that Xiao Buyi was wise and resolute, and his knowledge was extraordinary, and he would become a great weapon in the future, and he would no longer be polite to the surface at the beginning, and he would continue to communicate with him, and the friendship was deep. Xiao Buyi also knew that these people were very well-connected and well-connected, so he tried his best to win them over.
Many friends and many roads, many enemies and many walls, if he sells horses, there must always be buyers, this time, when several brothers are still thinking about whether rouge gouache can be sold to change horses, he has already thought of the problem of shipment.
He does things methodically, just because he thinks one step more than others.
After socializing more with businessmen, Xiao Buyi realized that not only women have a hobby of being a matchmaker, but also men. However, it can't be said that there are too many daughters of businessmen, and they are afraid that they will not be able to marry, just because men believe in their own vision and want to find a good home for their daughters.
There are many merchants in the caravan, only Lin, Wang, Yuan, Yin four families really have weight, Lao Bangzi and them, shoes are not counted, if these four are dealers, Lao Bangzi is just a retail household, cut meat and drink soup.
Xiao Buyi didn't expect that in just ten days, he would receive two more Geng posts and a hint. The Yuan family naturally didn't need to say much, after Yuan Lan started, he didn't know if he was guessed when he said it, and the other three families had already followed.
Lin Shizhi also has daughters, Yin Tianci has several sons, no daughters, but has a niece, fortunately, the representative of the Wang family is not surnamed Wang, but Shen Yuankun is also interested, implying that there are many women in the Wang family, if Xiao Buyi is interested......
Xiao Buyi stepped on cow dung, his eyes were full of peach blossoms, and he only smiled bitterly, which made several brothers keep snickering. They also knew something, because the merchant always talked to a few brothers privately and asked about Xiao Buyi. Yang Dezhi had already let them unify their voices, saying that they were farming in a mountain village, and they had never quarreled with the world.
The grass grows luxuriantly, and the number of people gradually increases, and the grasslands are mostly nomadic people, who will only look for a fertile environment with water and grass.
The felt tents gradually increased as many as cattle, sheep and horses, and the nomadic herdsmen saw the caravan, some were indifferent, and some would take the initiative to say hello.
Originally, I was worried about the ferocity of the Turkic soldiers, so I fought all the way, but I didn't expect to see the Turkic soldiers rarely in the steppe. In this way, there are good and bad everywhere, and all the way in the grassland, it is actually calm.
The merchants were frightened by Lishanfei, and they were tense like bowstrings all the way, and when they came to the edge of the Krulun River, they looked at the bright river water, like clouds of cattle and sheep, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming to the Krulun River means that they will soon be at the first stop of their official trade. Han Xue looked at the long-lost river, quietly glanced at Xiao Buyi, and saw him looking into the distance, his expression was inadvertently resolute, his expression was more calm, and he secretly said in his heart, he seemed to have changed a lot.
In her eyes, Xiao Buyi is even more elusive, but it cannot be denied that he is much more confident than when he first came out of the cottage.
There was no bridge here, so Viga found a shallow place to lead the caravan across, rested for a while, and continued to drive.
Bei Pei had nothing to do riding a horse and looked at the sky, lazy and lazy, Lu Anyou was a little distant, Xiao Buyi said in his heart that the three people selected by Gao Shiqing to protect the caravan were very discerning, and they were extremely wrong.
When he was walking more than ten miles, Yang Dezhi suddenly rode over and said in a low voice: "Buyi, there is a large group of people coming from the left." ”
Xiao Buyi's heart froze, "Horse bandits? ”
"I don't know." Yang Dezhi shook his head.
"Muru, protect Han Xue." Xiao Buyi and a few brothers had already rushed forward, Zhou Muru's injuries were eighty percent better, and he obediently stayed by Han Xue's side, seeing Han Xue looking at him, he smiled, "Young lady, the young master really cares about you." ”
Han Xue snorted, just looking at Xiao Buyi's back.
When Xiao Buyi rushed to the front of the caravan, the merchants finally heard the horse's hooves rushing and rumbling, and they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that they were horse bandits. The porter stopped early and spontaneously gathered together, and Bepei, still in the team, also looked up.
Lu Anyou had already allocated manpower, and when he saw Xiao Buyi coming, he looked a little uncomfortable, but he still said: "Brother Xiao, be careful, I think it's someone from the Servant Bone Tribe." ”
A group of men and horses rushed out obliquely in front, about dozens of people, all holding horned bows and spears, rough and unrestrained, shouting and shouting in their mouths, rushing to a distance of more than ten zhang before stopping.
A strong man rode out, a few paces away from the caravan, and shouted something, depending on the situation, it was the leader of the procession. Xiao Buyi didn't understand a word, and when he saw Lu Anyou frowning, he had already taken Viga to greet him.
Viga's voice was gentle, and he took out the road strip in a deliberative tone, but the strong man shook his head again and again, and his tone was stiff. Lu An had an angry look on the right side of his face, but he didn't hide it.
"That man is a centurion of the Servant Bone Tribe, named Yilu." Yang Dezhi didn't wait for Xiao Buyi to ask a question to explain, "He asked us to take a detour, not to pass through the tribe where their people gathered, otherwise they would be unkind to us." ”
Xiao Buyi was stunned, "Why?" ”
"Because the marriage daughter of Kedun is coming here, in order to protect Kedun's safety, all unrelated people must stay away." Yang Dezhi said.
Xiao Buyi laughed and laughed, he didn't expect this to be the result. The merchants knew that the Duke of Yicheng was going to marry a daughter, so they couldn't wait to get here, where did they think that they couldn't see each other, so they were rejected by the servant tribe, what kind of business did they talk about?
The negotiation on that side had already reached a conclusion, and Yilu shouted, and his men had already drawn their bows and arrows and aimed them at the caravan.
Xiao Buyi already knew that things were rigid without a translator, and when he was nervous, he said in his heart that if this fight started, it would be someone else's territory, how could it be good? Suffering from the language barrier, he couldn't help the caravan, but a cold snort came from behind him, "Useless things." ”
Xiao Buyi turned his head and saw Bei Pei's sole-like face, "Brother Bei? ”
Bei Pei ignored Xiao Buyi, stepped forward immediately, and said a few words sharply, don't look at him thin and small, but he stepped forward, and his momentum did not let Yilu at all, and what he said was also Turkic, which made Xiao Buyi very ashamed.
Yilu hesitated at that moment, and his attitude became even tougher in an instant. Yang Dezhi quickly translated, "Bei Pei said that the caravan was specially for Ke Dun to congratulate, and if Yilu blocked the caravan from the door, Ke Dun knew that he might not be able to take responsibility. However, Yilu said that there are countless tribes of Daohe, and who knows which one is sincere. Now that Kotun is here, it is the duty of their warriors to keep Kotun safe, and he told our caravan to make a detour and leave the bones at once, otherwise they will not be polite to us. ”
Xiao Buyi only listened to two sentences, and he was already frowning. Viga is too soft, Bei Pei is too rigid, a good reason makes Bei Pei say saber-rattling, if you change the way, it can probably be more flexible.
The atmosphere became more and more tense, and Lin Shizhi saw that it was not a horse bandit, so he had already come over, "Buyi, you have always been smart, you have to think of a way." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "You think I'm an immortal?" I don't know Turkic, how can I convince this Yilu. ”
Lin Shizhi sighed: "Although you don't know Turkic, Bei Pei can always understand what you say." A slap doesn't make a sound, and now it can only get stiffer and stiffer, you persuade Bei Pei to take a step back, and we can make plans again. ”
Xiao Buyi suddenly scolded himself for being a little stupid, Lin Shizhi only looked for himself, of course, he thought that he had the ability to persuade Bei Pei.
Riding forward, Xiao Buyi came to Bei Pei's side and lowered his voice, "Brother Bei, this is not a way, it is better for us to avoid the edge for the time being, and then talk about it later." ”
Bei Pei was full of anger and shouted loudly, and when he heard Xiao Buyi's suggestion, he groaned and snorted, "Okay, let's go." ”
didn't expect Bei Pei to turn his face the same as June Tian, Lu Anyou didn't react for a while, but Bei Pei stared at that Yilu and shouted a few words.
Yilu's beak has always been hard like a cooked duck, but when he heard Bei Pei's scolding, there was already a trace of uneasiness on his face.
Bei Pei turned around the caravan, Lu An whistled right, and the caravan pulled out and went downstream along the Krulun River. The excitement of crossing the Krulen River has evaporated like the morning dewdrops. I all know that I can do business if I go to Bayegu, but it is undoubtedly a loss for Ketun not to seize this opportunity.
The businessmen were in a low mood, and they didn't forget to come over to say hello to Xiao Buyi, which means that if you don't have Buyi today, today's scene will be out of control.
Lu An's right front team became the rear team, just with Xiao Buyi, when he saw Xiao Buyi and said a word, he persuaded him to be regarded as a salvation Guanyin now, like his own old cow, no one knew about it, his nose was almost crooked, and he whipped the horse several times, venting the anger in his heart, and galloping over.
Xiao Buyi waited until everyone was far away, and then asked in a low voice, "What did Bei Pei say in the last few words?" ”
Although he is smart, he is not a genius after all, and he is very awkward in Turkic language, and he can only say a few simple words, so everything has to be translated by Yang Dezhi.
"He said I know everything, you give me to be careful, don't lose your head." Yang Dezhi was also a little puzzled.
"What does that mean?" Xiao Buyi was stunned.
Yang Dezhi shook his head, not knowing.
Both of them were groaning, literally interpreting that Bei Pei was threatening Yilu, and seemed to know something inside. But he is just a visitor from the Central Plains, how can he know a lot of things, and what does everything mean?
"Buyi, this Beipei is not simple." Yang Dezhi looked at Bei Pei or looked up at the sky, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This person is ruthless, he kills dozens of people without blinking an eye, his martial arts are only higher than Lu Anyou's, and he doesn't follow the rules, so we have to be careful." ”
Seeing that Xiao Buyi was also pondering, Yang Dezhi said again: "Although his attitude towards you is blunt, I feel that you are the one who can say a few words to him here." He is really good to you, when Li Shanfei wanted to kill you, although he didn't say much, he was already in front of you, that Lu Anyou had not been dedicated to fighting on a rainy night, if I kicked with the heart of a villain, he might have hoped to kill you with the hand of Li Shanfei. ”
Xiao Buyi was silent for a long time, sighing that this era is very sinister, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger. The greater the ability, the more jealous people are, and the sooner they may die, so that their time is better.
"Dezhi, here you and I are like-minded, and many things come to mind. What you said is right, when I went to the meeting alone, I didn't have to find Lin Shizhi and Shen Yuankun, I asked them to testify, on the one hand, I didn't want to be talked about, but on the other hand, I was afraid that Lu Anyou would take the opportunity to kill me, and push it on Li Zhixiong, let Lin Shizhi and the two go forward, so that he could take care of it. ”
Yang Dezhi's eyes flashed, "Buyi, maybe what Li Zhixiong said makes sense." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "You and I can know about this matter, and don't tell the rest of the brothers." Mo Feng is impulsive, the arrow is irritable, Zhou Muru is honest and has no scheming, only you can hide your thoughts. ”
A smile appeared on Yang Dezhi's depressed face, "You are not the same?" Although you have always been suspicious, Ping said that he was like no one. However, looking at Lu Anyou's martial arts, they are quite strong and are by no means comparable to Li Zhixiong, you have to be careful. It's dangerous, I think I can find Bei Pei's help. ”
Xiao Buyi looked ahead, his expression calm, "The person who wants to kill me Xiao Buyi will never have a good time." Dezhi, don't worry, you just restrain your brother, Xiao Buyi will definitely not let people eat meat. ”
"Buyi, do you know what your biggest change is?" Yang Dezhi asked suddenly.
Xiao Buyi was stunned, "Is it martial arts?" ”
"Your martial arts are indeed better, but they are only better." Yang Dezhi didn't ask much why Xiao Buyi's martial arts were high, he was a very measured person, he just sighed and said: "You have become calculating, I can still know how much of your thoughts before, but now, I don't know what you are thinking." But one thing I know is that you will always be Xiao Buyi who was in trouble, regardless of his own life and death, and did not hesitate to go back to the horse to save him. With this alone, being a brother to you is a steadfast heart. ”
After Yang Dezhi finished saying this, he was already far away, and he was mixed with Mo Feng and a few others, Xiao Buyi looked at his back, only feeling that Yang Dezhi's loneliness always seemed to contain something on his mind.
Suddenly aware of something, Xiao Buyi turned his head to look and found that Han Xue turned his gaze and no longer looked at him, his face was like water, and he didn't make waves, but his eyes were like the wind blowing on the surface of a lake, and the ice and snow were melting and hazy.
