Chapter 199: Robbery

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation!

Xie Guanglong didn't lie, the horses in Guanshi were indeed cheap. Just as the iron in the border county is so expensive that Liang Xiao and others dare not imagine, the horses in Guanshi are also so cheap that people dare not imagine.

Liang Xiao bought a few horses in Chang'an, and the price was mostly around seven or eight thousand, which refers to horses and carts, war horses are usually around 10,000, and good war horses are at least 15,000. Even pack horses, which can only be used to carry things, cost four or five thousand.

However, in the customs market, four or five thousand can buy a good war horse, which is only one-third of the price in the mainland.

No wonder the tariffs are so heavy, and there are people who sell horses from thousands of miles away, and they are very profitable. Liang Xiao and others bought horses here, and when they returned to the mainland in the future, they could earn at least four or five thousand yuan for a horse, and nearly 10,000 yuan for more, which was equivalent to a year's fortune.

This time, without Liang Xiao's mobilization, basically all the Lang officials paid out of their own pockets and bought one or two horses each. There were thirty or forty of them, and according to later generations, it was a group purchase, which attracted at once the Hu people who sold horses and the horsemen who introduced business. Hundreds of horses, dozens of people surrounded Liang Xiao and others, gossiping about their horses.

"So welcoming?" Liang Xiao sighed with emotion.

"That's not much enthusiasm." Xie Guanglong said proudly: "It's not the peak season, August and September are the fattest time for horses, and now those who come to sell horses are in difficulty, and they really can't survive, so they have to sell them in advance." Although it is only a month or two, the price can be quite different. ”

"What's the matter, they can't survive and won't rob?"

"There is a price to be paid for robbery." Xie Guanglong raised his eyebrows. "My Han people are not easy to bully, three or five Huns can't take advantage of it at all, we are afraid of the kind of people who will come in the tens or hundreds. The people can't deal with it themselves. The officers and soldiers did not have time to come to the rescue. Often, you have to lose......"

Xie Guanglong said and spoke, suddenly stopped, looked into the distance with his eyes, and muttered, "Good horse, good horse." ”

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, followed Xie Guanglong's gaze, and saw that outside the crowd, a young man riding a white horse was watching the excitement. This white horse is tall. It was more than a foot taller than an ordinary horse, and it was snow-white, without even a single stray hair. The young man on horseback was dressed very ordinarily, but his face was rare white, unlike the light of ordinary Huns.

Liang Xiao was alert, and at a glance he saw a few strong men scattered around the young man. Although these strong men are dressed similarly to ordinary Han people, they can't hide their legs, and they are obviously men who live on horseback all year round. They all had horses in their hands, and the horses were not saddled on their backs, and they looked like those who sold horses.

These people were originally inconspicuous in the crowd. It's just that now the big customers of group buying have come, and the vast majority of horse sellers have gathered. But they stood there indifferently, and it was inevitable that they would be a little abrupt.

Liang Xiao stretched out his hand and grabbed Xie Guanglong. "Brother Xie, these people are a little weird."

"I know." Xie Guanglong smiled. "Probably which Hun nobleman it is. However, since they are pretending to be horse merchants, it is no wonder that I want to steal his horse. After receiving such a great gift from an adult, I can't repay it, so I will take this horse as a gift in return. ”

Without waiting for Liang Xiao to speak, Xie Guanglong gave a whistle and rushed towards the white-horse boy with a few knights.

Liang Xiao didn't speak, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Xie Guanglong's ability. He has already seen the skills of the horse, and he also needs to see the other skills. In the future, if you are out of the jam, you may be in danger at any time, and Xie Guanglong, as a guide, is difficult to be competent if he can't adapt to the situation.

As if sensing Liang Xiao's gaze, the young man on the white horse raised his head and glanced at Liang Xiao with a somewhat surprised expression. Obviously, he was also attracted by the green skull under Liang Xiao's crotch. Looking at the entire Guan City, it is this green horse that can be compared to the white horse under his crotch.

Xie Guanglong came to the young man with four or five knights, and the two said a few words, and the young man shook his head, as if saying that his horse was not for sale or something. Xie Guanglong's face changed when he landed, and he shouted: "Take it!" ”

The knights swarmed up, some with their bows drawn, some with their swords drawn, and surrounded the boy in the middle, murderous.

The young man frowned, stretched out his hand and waved, signaling the strong men with lap legs who were about to come over to relieve the siege to calm down. He lowered his head, thought for a while, took out a waist card from his arms, and shook it in front of Xie Guanglong.

Xie Guanglong, who was originally arrogant, took the waist card and glanced at it, immediately coaxed, smiled heaps on his face, returned the waist card with both hands, and then handed it over again and again, and turned the horse back. The young man on the white horse glanced at him, but did not care, and casually turned his horse to the side.

Xie Guanglong returned to Liang Xiao's side with a smug smile on his face. "Sure enough, it's a good horse, a good rouge horse."

Liang Xiao was stunned. It's obviously a white horse, how did it become a rouge horse?

"It was a woman. As soon as I smelled her, I knew that it was the family of the Hun king. Xie Guanglong thought for a moment, and then said: "The closest ones are King Lou Fu and King Aries, I haven't heard that King Lou Fu has such a beautiful daughter, that is the daughter of King Aries?" ”

Xie Guanglong's official language was not standard enough, and at this moment, he was muttering and muttering, speaking all in the local language, and Liang Xiao couldn't understand a word, so he could only look at him puzzled. Xie Guanglong smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly changed to official dialect.

"Don't worry, my lord, within half a day, I will definitely bring people and horses to the hands of adults."

"With men and horses?"

"Yes, that's a female, she looks really good, especially her skin is white, like goat's milk, you can ......know it at a glance," Xie Guanglong said, his face showed a lewd taste, and his two hands involuntarily made stroking gestures.

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, at the beginning of the human race, the true nature of the sex, the rangers in Chang'an are already rough enough, compared with the rough men in this county, they are all gentlemen, at least they will not be as explicit as this one.

"You're going to rob?"

"Of course." Xie Guanglong made no secret of his intentions. "I've sent my brother to follow, just waiting to find a secluded place and do them."

Liang Xiao smiled: "You're not afraid of causing trouble?" ”

"What's the trouble?" Xie Guanglong rolled his eyes and said, "The Huns, kill them or not, they all have to come." As for Lord Feng, how did he know? Will the adults tell him? ”

Liang Xiao shook his head. For this kind of thing, he will not be pedantic enough to talk about etiquette and morality. However, he was quite jealous of those strong men. Those men pretended to be horse sellers, who had no saddles on their backs, and were probably masters of bareback horses. If that young man, a young girl, is really a noble person, it is normal to have a few masters around to protect him.

"Those people around him are not ordinary, can your brother deal with them?"

Xie Guanglong said confidently: "No problem. My brothers crawled out of the pile of corpses. ”

Liang Xiao is not too relieved. In his opinion, either don't do it, or do it cleanly. If one or two people escape, it's a big deal.

"I'd like to go and see it, okay?"

"Absolutely." Xie Guanglong was in the middle of it and agreed repeatedly.

Liang Xiao found Mei Gao and said to him. Although Mei Gao hesitated, he didn't say much, just took care of Liang Xiao carefully. Liang Xiao responded, and ordered Li Shuyun to bring people to protect Mei Gao, and he took Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo, followed Xie Guanglong, and went all the way.

The young man seemed to be very excited, and had been wandering around the city, sometimes dismounting and talking to the merchants who had set up stalls, buying a few small things, and grinding until it was almost dark before leaving the market and galloping northwest.

Liang Xiao found a problem. As soon as the Huns left the city, they immediately increased their speed and seemed to be fleeing. They had clearly sensed the danger, and had just walked around the city, seemingly leisurely, but in fact waiting for an opportunity.

Xie Guanglong also found a problem. He spat and cursed, and as he plucked his spear, he rode forward. Liang Xiao didn't dare to slack off, and while driving the horse forward, he took out two pieces of armor from his bag, put it on his body, tied his belt tightly, and then put on his helmet.

The Huns were good at shooting, and he didn't want to be shot to death by the Huns. The first time he played against the Huns, he met a master, and he was a little excited and a little nervous.

Seeing this scene, Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo did not dare to slack off, and immediately put on their armor. The two separated, Pang Shuo galloped in front of Liang Xiao's left, and Tu Niu'er followed Liang Xiao's right rear, keeping a distance of two steps, which not only did not affect Liang Xiao's archery, but also protected Liang Xiao from being rushed to Liang Xiao.

Pang Shuo's martial arts are not as exquisite as Tu Niu'er, but he is strong and not lost, and his arms are stretched out longer than Liang Xiao. In order to give full play to his advantages, Liang Xiao customized an eight-foot-long eyebrow-raising iron rod for him, cut in the middle, and hid a single-knife thick-backed iron knife. Pull out the iron knife, and then connect the iron silk as the handle, which is a long-handled straight knife with a total length of one foot and three feet.

This knife cost nearly five thousand yuan, nearly ten times that of an ordinary long sword, and after it was made, Pang Shuo had only tried to cut a sheep, but he had never used it in real combat. This time, when he went into battle, he had the opportunity to test the power of this customized weapon with a big living person, and Pang Shuo was a little excited and screamed.

Xie Guanglong was furious when he saw Pang Shuo turn an iron rod into a long-handled knife. However, at this time, he didn't care much about it, and the Huns in front of him were running faster and faster, and they couldn't keep up. The mounts of the two sides are obviously not on the same level, and after careful comparison, only Liang Xiao's Qingcong runs more easily.

"It's okay, there's my brother in front." Xie Guanglong gritted his teeth. Embarrassed in front of Liang Xiao, he was very unhappy.

"How many people?"

"There should be two of them."

Liang Xiao glanced at it and shouted, "Niu'er, follow me." There are too many Huns, if you don't stop them, the brothers in front can't stop them. ”

Tu Niu'er responded, kicked the war horse fiercely, and rushed out with Liang Xiao. Although his mount is not a high-grade war horse, it is not bad, and at this moment, it is not much slower than Qingcong. The two of them did not hesitate to gallop at full speed, quickly approaching the Huns.

Liang Xiao drew two arrows, put on his bow, and before he was ready to launch, the Huns who fell behind turned around and shot an arrow.
