Qin Xuan and the others slowly this morning, which immediately attracted the attention of many people in strange costumes. Qin Xuan couldn't help but mutter: "Not to mention the dilapidation here, these people alone are not like the people of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

After listening to Qin Xuan's words, the guide explained: "My lord, the little one has already explained to you just now, although it belongs to the Tang Dynasty, there are many Turkic residents, and even merchants from the Western Regions live there, which can be regarded as a hodgepodge!" ”

"Hodgepodge?" Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile, "This name is very appropriate!" ”

Just as Qin Xuanhe was talking, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of many strong men who wanted to lean over by themselves.

"What do you want?" Just entered Limo, everyone was a little vigilant, looking at the strong man in front of him who did not look like a person from the Tang Dynasty, but thought that he was a nomadic of the Western Turks, Li Zizheng couldn't help but be a little vigilant, and shouted at a few people who were getting closer and closer.

"Hehe, you and these Han people are also passing merchants? Looking at the way you waited, it was your first time? Whatever good things you have brought, take them out, if it's good, grandpa, I'll take it all! A burly man with a smile on his dark cheeks was even more ugly than Xing Honglin's smile.

Hearing this person's words, Qin Xuan and the others were stunned, and Qin Xuan even thought that these strong men should be regarded as the head snakes in Limo. After figuring it out, Qin Xuan stopped Li Zizheng, who was about to have a seizure, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are indeed the first time to go out of the customs!" ”

"Hugh has to say more, hurry up, take out the goods you are waiting for, see that you don't have any livestock, you don't just want to go out of the customs to buy things! It's really a group of rammed goods, don't you know that you need Datang's goods here. Don't you know that only those good objects in Datang can make money? ”

Seeing the big man's arrogant appearance, Xing Honglin and the others were a little annoyed, but because Qin Xuan didn't speak, he couldn't speak, for fear of delaying Qin Xuan's plan.

Qin Xuan hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Let's be honest with you, I brought some private salt with the number one, and I don't know if Lu Dao can sell it at a good price!" ”

"What? Salt? Dahan was obviously stunned, and then stretched out his hand and signaled: "Hurry up and show me!" ”

Qin Xuan was slightly stunned. Ponder for a moment. He signaled to Li Qingrui on the side: "Qingrui, let this brother take a look!" ”

Li Qingrui strode a few times, walked in front of the strong man, and untied the robe on his body. A specially manufactured inner sleeve is revealed. The strong man should have seen such a way of hiding salt. Out of nowhere, it turned into a dagger. Gently swiped on Li Qingrui's chest, reached into his fingers, and pinched out a pinch of salt granules and put it in his mouth. I slipped it for a long time.

Qin Xuan behind him couldn't help but have some illusions, this kind of scene really looked like the gangsters trading drugs in later generations, especially the salt hiding skills on his side, which were somewhat deficient compared to the drug hiding skills of later generations, but also had some taste.

As for the words and deeds of the big man, he was really a gangster, and Qin Xuan, who was watching it, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The big man chewed for a long time, and then showed a trace of joy, and shouted loudly: "Ha Luha, the salt of the number one, the salt of the good one!" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart: "Isn't it just salt, as for it, it's like seeing some rare treasure!" "Actually, it's not to blame Qin Xuan, in this desolate place, although the Tang Dynasty does not prohibit the sale of goods abroad, but this salt is controlled by the state, and people can't do without salt, and because the Western Turks don't have the ability to make salt, salt has always been the most scarce thing in the Western Turks.

Qin Xuan looked at the ecstatic man, and secretly slandered in his heart: "When I enter the city, only this group of people come to ask me, looking at this group of people, they should be the old residents of this Limo City, otherwise they should have some prestige in this Limo City." Why don't I sell this salt to this group of people, if I can get some information from these people, it should be of great help to this operation. ”

Qin Xuan had just thought about it, but before he could speak, he saw the big man put away the villain with a full face, shook his head at Qin Xuan, and said: "The salt is indeed the number one salt, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability to accept it!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, stared at the big man for a long time, and muttered in his heart: "En? What does this big man mean, and he didn't ask the price, did he know that he couldn't eat it? And looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he can't eat it, right? What's even more strange is that this strong man obviously thinks about salt, but he pretends not to care, why is this? ”

The guide on the side also felt strange: "Huh? What's going on? According to the usual, if someone brings the salt gang, this Turkic Ashina should find a way to collect salt at a lower price, could it be said that Ashina is not interested in salt, the Western Turks have always been short of salt, and if they resell it casually, they will definitely make money! ”

The guide thought for a long time, first, he felt that Ashina was a little strange, and secondly, Qin Xuan didn't speak for a long time, so he took it upon himself to speak: "This must be Ashina, it's not a secret, my master brought a lot of salt this time, and I don't dare to say that it can help the Turkic tribe, which is enough for an ordinary tribe to eat for more than a month!" ”

When the guide said this, and this remark was quite to Qin Xuan's appetite, Qin Xuan smiled at the guide. Unexpectedly, Ashina's expression suddenly showed a hint of greed, although it was only for a moment, but the city of this Turkic man was not as good as those officials in the Tang Dynasty, and this trace of undetectable greed, Qin Xuan naturally saw it clearly.

I saw Ashina smile slightly, and said politely: "Hey, then I'll tell you the truth, the salt you brought is indeed something that our Turks are very lacking, however, my funds can't afford it!" ”

Qin Xuan originally had the idea of making a profit to get acquainted, and immediately said with a smile: "Ashina Brother Tai, if you are doing business for the first time in Xia, you will inevitably have to deal with you and others in the future, so let's make some profits in Xia this time!" ”

Ashina's eyes kept rolling suspiciously, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked: "I don't know if you can make a profit, the price of salt here is one hundred taels and one pound of high-grade salt, eighty taels of medium salt, and sixty taels of low-grade salt!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart was very shocked: "What? A book of great profits! No wonder so many people want to smuggle, it turns out that the profits are so big! ”

Guidance on the side. Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't speak for a long time, he also said that Qin Xuan was thinking about the price that Ashina said, and immediately whispered to Qin Xuan: "Childe, the price Ashina said is very fair!" ”

Qin Xuan heard the voice, came back to his senses, bowed his head at Ashina, and said: "Ashina brother, this time I brought more than 100 catties of salt, so I have the right to be 100 catties, as for the price." In the future, it will not make Brother Tai lose profits. Then give you all the salt, and give me eight thousand taels." Even if you make a friend of yours, we can continue to cooperate in the future! ”

Qin Xuan's voice just fell. The guide on the side was a little surprised. I thought I was wrong. Immediately said: "Childe, do you really only sell for eight thousand taels? ”

Ashina on the opposite side also stared at Qin Xuan with some consternation, waiting for Qin Xuan's response.

Qin Xuan smiled slightly. smiled casually at the guide: "Since we want to do this kind of business, how can it be this time, the time to go will be long, this first time to deal with, naturally we have to make some profits!" ”

Qin Xuan's words made Ashina a little surprised, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and asked in a daze: "This son, I don't know where you got these salts from?" How many more will there be in the future? ”

Qin Xuan said with a smile: "Isn't Ashina brother Tai Mo worried that I won't have salt to trade in the future?" ”

Seeing Ashina nodding slightly, Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. "Ashina Brother Tai, although you can rest assured, I have a lot to do with the prefect of Hangzhou, not to mention a hundred catties of salt here, even a thousand catties, it's just a little difficult to pass the checkpoint!"

Hearing this, Ashina rolled his eyes and arched his hand: "That's it, Childe will wait for a while, I'll discuss it!" ”

Qin Xuan stretched out his hand very casually, looking extremely calm.

Ashina was not pretentious, he immediately turned around, and discussed with several Turks behind him, speaking very lowly, still not to take a look at Qin Xuan, about a quarter of an hour later, one of Ashina's team showed a faint smirk on the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave.

Qin Xuan couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, stretched out his hand and pointed at the departing Turks, and asked Ashina, who had already turned around, and said, "Ashina brother, why did that friend leave?" ”

Ashina was slightly stunned, and then vaguely spoke for a long time before he said a complete sentence: "That...... He's ...... I asked him to go home first to raise money, but we are Turks, and the stock of Datang currency is not much, if I can, I will give Gongzi a few good horses, which can be regarded as the first time to deal with it, my heart! ”

Hearing Ashina's words, Qin Xuan was even more cautious, before Ashina still had some greedy desires, and then suddenly he was so generous, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Qin Xuan still knows the way. After Qin Xuan thought for a moment, he turned his head and whispered to Li Qingrui: "Qingrui, I suspect that this guy has bad intentions, wait for the opportunity to act!" ”

Li Qingrui and Qin Xuan's cooperation is very tacit, not to mention that Li Qingrui's brain is also very good, and he also found that this Ashina is a little abnormal and strange. After Qin Xuan said this, he was even more convinced that Ashina would not be so good. Chong Qin Xuan nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Qin Xuan saw Li Qingrui nodding, so he took a step forward, and at this moment, Qin Xuan was almost two zhang away from Ashina. "Ashina brother Tai, I don't know where Lu Dao's transaction is?"

Ashina smiled, pretended to be a rammed goods, and said: "In this way, eight thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is estimated that my brother will not raise it immediately, maybe I need to give my son a few batches of good horses!" It's better for Childe to follow me to my tribe, the tribe is not far from here, about twenty miles away, and it will only be a matter of moments to ride a horse! ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, this is a good idea, directly see that our group of people are brought to the tribe, and it will not be slaughtered by others at that time!" However, although Qin Xuan understood, he also knew that Lu Dao was also a little uncomfortable in Limo's own group at the moment.

Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't answer for a long time, Ashina smiled slightly: "Childe must not be at ease with me, Childe can feel free to inquire in Limo, I, Ashina, have been doing business here for many years, and the tribe is small, there are only seven or eight families, so I will definitely not do anything to kill people and oversell goods!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, and muttered to himself in his heart: "Hmph, if you say no, you won't, when the time comes, I will become a meat on your chopping board, who will I talk to!" Thinking of this, Qin Xuan still smiled slightly and said nothing.

Seeing that Qin Xuan still didn't speak, Ashina immediately took a step forward and said, "That's it, there are still three people by my side now." Take me and let Childe tie up and wait for the deal to be done, Childe will take the money, ride on the horse, and then put me and the other four on the way, how about it? ”

Hearing Ashina's opinion, Qin Xuan was a little moved, and he also believed in Ashina, however, for his own safety, Qin Xuan still fell into the latter gentleman first, and directly arched his hand: "Then Ashina brother." Offended first! "Between words. He motioned to Xing Honglin and the others to step forward and take people!

In fact, Qin Xuan did this, and another point was that Qin Xuan knew that he was pretending to be a merchant at the moment, and businessmen, especially these smugglers, were more cautious. This is also Qin Xuan's hope that he can gain Ashina's trust. Then he investigated the situation in Limo City. In the end, whether there are Western Turkic spies in this Limo City, Qin Xuan is not sure, it is better to be careful in everything. This made Qin Xuan pretend to be a businessman.

Ashina smiled, turned around, and the other three people didn't know what Lu Dao said, they were all very calm, and let Qin Xuan and the others tie up without resistance, and then, Ashina said with a smile: "Childe, since Childe has agreed, then let's rush back to my tribe!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, and said very apologetically: "Ashina Brother Tai, it's really a last resort, don't blame it!" Suddenly, Qin Xuan pretended to be as if he had just thought of something, and said hurriedly: "That's it, Brother Ashina, I still have a burden of medicinal materials, so I'll give them to you together, it's not for you!" ”

Ashina couldn't help but be stunned, and before he could speak, Qin Xuan turned his head to Li Qingrui and said, "Qingrui, you go and bring all our baggage medicinal materials, and they will be sent directly to Ashina's tribe in a while!" Speaking of this, Qin Xuanyou turned his head to look at Ashina, and asked: "Ashina brother, where is the tribe, I hope to tell you in detail!" In the first time out of the customs business, I don't know what is good to sell, so I put the medicinal materials here to move two miles, also out of caution! ”

Ashina hesitated for a moment, thinking that when Qin Xuan first came, he was carrying a well-dressed salt, not like a merchant at all, and thinking that he was now tied up by Qin Xuan, he felt that Qin Xuan was a cautious person, thinking of this, he said: "From now on, twenty miles to the north, you will encounter a small hill on the way, just go around to the east!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded and said, "Qingrui, do you know the truth, go and bring that medicinal herb!" ”

Li Qingrui naturally knew what Qin Xuan meant, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, son, I'll go now!" ”

Ashina felt that Qin Xuan shouldn't seem to be lying, so he said, "Childe, let this brother ride on my horse!" As he spoke, he poked his head out and gestured to a black horse beside him.

Qin Xuan nodded and said, "Then thank you!" ”

Li Qingrui deliberately pretended to be very bad at riding a horse, and it took a long time to drive away.

In fact, Qin Xuan still didn't understand one thing, that is, wasn't this Ashina afraid that he would take advantage of the fire to rob, take this horse away, and kill people and goods. This question has been pondering in Qin Xuan's heart for a long time, originally Qin Xuan just wanted to get acquainted with this Ashina, but now it seems that Qin Xuan has doubts about Ashina's identity, but he is only suspicious, but he doesn't know what Ashina does.

Out of caution about this mission, Qin Xuan had to go to investigate, if this Ashina was really an authentic businessman, he would also get acquainted with Ashina, and when the time came, he could also ask some questions that he wanted to know.

Qin Xuan and the others took Ashina and the four of them, directly through the small city of Limo, and wanted to go north, on the way, they did encounter a small mountain, the mountain is not high, but it is a little strange, there are weeds everywhere It seems that no one has ever settled here, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little meaningful, and asked: "Ashina Brother Tai, this mountain looks better than the grassland, why don't there be herdsmen to settle down under the mountain?" ”

When Ashina heard Qin Xuan's words, he looked at Qin Xuan directly, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Oh? Childe is talking about this mountain, I and other herdsmen like grassland life, like to ride horses, and there is no water source on this mountain, but there are many inconveniences to settle here! ”

Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, Xing Honglin on the side didn't know what to do, and said: "Childe, I think this horse of Ashina's brother Tai's friend is very strong, and you also know that I love horses very much, can you let me ride the horse!" ”

Qin Xuan's heart was beautiful, this Xing Honglin was too eye-catching, but Qin Xuan's face turned into a very embarrassed look, turned his head to look at Ashina, and did not ask.

Seeing this, Ashina didn't want to speak, and the master said: "If your friend wants to ride the horse, then ride the horse, but be careful, I wait for these grassland horses, which are more irritable than the horses of the Central Plains!" ”

Hearing Ashina's answer, Xing Honglin seemed very happy, and with a lunge step, he jumped on the horse, reached out and gently patted the horse's buttocks, and shouted casually: "Drive-"

Looking at the back of Xing Honglin's departing horse, Qin Xuan smiled slightly. I saw that Xing Honglin first traveled eastward for about a hundred lengths, and then went to the hill and ran around the hill.

Qin Xuan secretly observed this Ashina, and saw that Ashina's expression suddenly became a little nervous, and his eyes stared directly at Xing Honglin. This move made Qin Xuan even more sure that there should be something wrong with this Ashina.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan smiled and asked, "Ashina Brother Tai, I don't know why you are staring at my entourage so nervously?" ”

Ashina was slightly stunned and muttered, "This...... I and other grassland boys cherish horses very much, and to put it mildly, I am afraid that your entourage will hurt the horses! (To be continued......)
