Chapter 154: Interesting Facts About Trading

Qin Xuan's current city is no longer the same, although Ashina's head is still making money quickly, even if he conceals that he pays great attention to Xing Honglin's horse near the hill, but Qin Xuan still sees the clue from the surprise of just a moment, that is, Ashina pays great attention to the hill in front of him, maybe there is any secret of this mountain, it is not certain.

Qin Xuan didn't question on the spot, nor did he say anything, he just sighed casually: "Ashina Brother Tai, in fact, my entourage's horse-riding skills are really not good!" ”

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Ashina's sudden nervousness slowly eased, he smiled, and said casually: "Actually, it's still good, as long as you practice more, you will definitely not be worse than those cavalry in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

This sentence, Ashina didn't say it casually, Xing Honglin's horse riding technique is really good, just now Ashina almost thought that he had bumped into the officers and soldiers, but, looking back, these should not be, after all, Qin Xuan is an authentic salt dealer, and he has also made a lot of tests to Qin Xuan before, and he can already rule out that Qin Xuan is an official of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, Datang doesn't seem to care about these smugglers, and he has been buying Datang's things here for some years, and no one has ever asked.

Qin Xuan ignored Ashina at this time, and directly waved to Xing Honglin, who was far away from the mountain, and shouted: "Honglin, it's almost good, we have to prepare to go to Ashina's house as a guest!" ”

Xing Honglin didn't hesitate at all when he heard the voice, and when he turned his horse's head and galloped towards Qin Xuan and the others. rushed to Qin Xuan and the others, a vertical leap. After jumping to the ground and settling down slightly, he smiled and arched his hand: "Ashina brother, the horses on the grassland are indeed stronger than the horses in the Central Plains, the speed is like the wind, and the agility is like a monkey, which is enviable!" ”

Ashina was tied up at this time and couldn't understand his hands, but he still replied with a smile: "Ha Luha." We all live with horses. Horses are naturally better than those in the Central Plains! This Ashina was not polite at all, and although Qin Xuan was a little unhappy when he said it, he couldn't refute it yet.

Xing Honglin was naturally a little embarrassed. It's a politeness yourself. Who would have thought that this Turkic man would be so immodest. No wonder it should be called a barbarian by the Central Plains Datang, which is not bad at all.

After a few simple greetings, everyone continued to walk towards Ashina's tribe under the guidance of Ashina. A full hour has passed. Only then did I faintly see a few tents. Ashina immediately smiled and said: "Qin Gongzi, in front, is my tribe, although there are not many people, but we are all our own brothers!" ”

Even if Ashina didn't say it, Qin Xuan also knew that he had arrived at Ashina's home, and the unusually calm along the way made Qin Xuan's caution not only not decrease, but also increased a lot. Looking at the tent that was getting clearer and clearer, Qin Xuan felt more and more that he was a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and after looking at it last night, Qin Xuan didn't see Li Qingrui's figure, and he couldn't help but retreat a little in his heart: "What's the matter with this Li Qingrui, is there really no problem with this Ashina?" I'm gambling with my own life, in case something goes wrong, how is this good, no, I'll have to find a way later! ”

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then walked forward, thinking very casually Ashina said: "Ashina brother, out of safety, can you let your friend go to the tribe first, how about we trade here?" When Qin Xuan spoke, he also stretched out his hand and pointed to a Turkic man who was with Ashina.

Ashina unexpectedly did not hesitate, and immediately nodded: "No problem, Qin Gongzi!" After speaking, Ashina turned his head and said something that Qin Xuan couldn't understand crookedly to the man on the side.

After a moment, the two stopped talking, and Ashina turned his head to look at Qin Xuan, still with a disgusting smile, extremely ugly, but what Ashina said, Qin Xuan was a little happy. "Qin Gongzi, I have already said it, please let him go! Wait a while, and someone will come with a few fine horses and some money! ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart felt a little weird, that is, he was too careful, a little too villainous, this Ashina was obviously doing business with himself, and he not only tied people up, but when he arrived at the door of the people's house, he was not at ease.

Shaking his head slightly, Qin Xuan signaled to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Quickly release this hero!" ”

The soldier, although he was also a little worried, but after all, Qin Xuan had already spoken, and the soldier's quality took advantage of the situation, and he did not hesitate to loosen the Turkic man's bonds. As soon as the man saluted Qin Xuan and Ashina, he jumped on the horse on the side, just clamped his legs, and the horse was forced, and he stepped on the hooves.

Although Qin Xuan was not very relieved of this Ashina, his heart had more or less begun to relax, pulling the bound Ashina, talking and laughing, and having fun.

After a while, more than a dozen Turkic men, riding horses, hurried to Qin Xuan, and they all listened to it. A few people said a lot to Ashina and the others, and then, Ashina said to Qin Xuan: "Gongzi Qin, I'm really sorry, I haven't found much currency in the Tang Dynasty, but these horses, you can take a look at them casually, if you can, how about I worth two thousand taels of ten horses?" ”

Qin Xuan knows what to look at horses, but if he doesn't even look at horses, wouldn't he not look like a businessman, Qin Xuan thought of this, and immediately said: "That's it, Honglin, you go and see, how are these horses!" ”

Xing Honglin bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

After speaking, Xing Honglin walked directly to the horse that was close to him, reached out and pinched the horse's mouth, broke his mouth, and stared at the horse's teeth for a long time. Qin Xuan couldn't help frowning, what is this Xing Honglin doing, let you look at the horses, you can't stare at the yellow plate teeth!

In fact, Qin Xuan didn't know what to say, this looks at the horses, in fact, those who have experience look at the teeth of the horses first, after all, just looking at them from the outside, they can't tell the age of the horses, if there are some horses with good looks on the horse, but they are already old, then they will suffer a big loss.

This looks at the teeth of the horses, and there are some doorways. Qin Xuan's actions made Ashina look in front of him. first stared at Xing Honglin for a long time, saw Xing Honglin looking at the horses with clear eyes, and then turned his head to Qin Xuan and bowed his hand, and said: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a horse master under Qin Gongzi!" ”

"Oh? Ashina Brother Tai, could it be that my entourage, I do have some ability on the horse? Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, and then asked gently.

"It's not just some ability, look at your retinue. Let's look at the horse's teeth. There are forty teeth in total. It is divided into molars, canines, and incisors. There are 12 molars and 12 maxilla, which grow deep into the back of the mouth, and 2 canines and 2 maxilla. The stallion canines have large and well-developed teeth, while the mare canines have underdeveloped teeth. Only a little bit of ...... emerges from the gingival mucosa A horse's cutting teeth are worn out by picking food. This tooth wear has a clear year-to-year variation. As a result, it has become one of the main means for people to determine the age of horses......"

Qin Xuan didn't understand horses. But this Ashina seemed to understand very well, and when he saw Qin Xuan's gentle and elegant appearance, he talked to Qin Xuan about raising horses. At the end of the day, he even said that he had raised horses and caught horses. Qin Xuan was also embarrassed to interrupt, so he could only bite the bullet and listen to Ashina's explanation.

However, fortunately, when this Ashina was foaming at the mouth, Xing Honglin had already read all the horses and picked out ten good horses, which shows how good that Ashina can say.

Xing Honglin walked in front of Qin Xuan and Ashina, and at first he was not conscious enough to interrupt Ashina's speech, and listened to it from the sidelines, but this Ashina had no intention of stopping, plus Qin Xuan intentionally or unintentionally wanted Xing Honglin to try his eyes, Xing Honglin immediately understood what to do, and directly raised his hand to interrupt Ashina's speech, and said: "Childe, Ashina brother, I have already seen the horses, and I have selected ten horses!" ”

Hearing Xing Honglin's words, Ashina was still a little happy, this entourage really has no self-cultivation, how can he interrupt his explanation, it's really rude. However, Ashina didn't have a seizure, just nodded awkwardly, and glanced back at the horses Xing Honglin picked out.

It's okay not to look at it, but this time, I'm really a little dumbfounded. These dozen horses, but Ashina specially let his people pick them out, except for these ten horses that were jumped out by Xing Honglin, the rest are some old horses, or such horses. Xing Honglin was able to pick it out in such a short period of time when he spoke, and it seems that he still has some ability.

glanced at Qin Xuan sideways, glanced at Qin Xuan, and stared at Xing Honglin for a long time, for a long time, before he spoke: "Master Qin, in addition to this transaction, I also want to make a deal with you, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Qin Xuan glanced sideways and asked, "Oh? I don't know what kind of deal I want to do with Brother Ashina, and I have already said that I will give all the medicinal materials brought by my entourage, and I will give them all to you, and there will be no money from Brother Ashina! ”

This is not to blame Qin Xuan for wanting to diverge, after all, he came today, and he stayed for some salt, and as for those medicinal materials, there were not much, they were just some cover-up techniques for the Turkic secret whistle in his own place.

Hearing this, Ashina hurriedly spoke: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, Gongzi Qin, I didn't say anything about the medicinal materials, since Gongzi Qin has promised to give it to me, how can I be so ignorant!" ”

Qin Xuan looked at Ashina suspiciously, but muttered in his heart: "What is this Ashina going to do, do you want to cooperate with me for a long time?" In this way, I can also get acquainted with him, and maybe I can get some unexpected news from his mouth! ”

Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't speak, Ashina said with some hesitation: "Young Master Qin, this friend is your entourage?" ”

Following Ashina's gesture of poking his head, Qin Xuan looked at it, it turned out to be Xing Honglin, Qin Xuan, who didn't know why, frowned directly, thought secretly for a moment, and then replied: "Ashina brother, you said Xing Honglin, this is the Soma master I specially invited!" ”

Qin Xuan was worried that Ashina doubted himself because Xing Honglin knew the art of horses, and immediately panicked, but Qin Xuan didn't expect that as soon as he said this, Ashina's originally hesitant expression instantly became happy, Qin Xuan also said that he dispelled Ashina's doubts in his heart, and laughed directly: "Ha Luha, that's good!" ”

"Okay? Where to start? Qin Xuan was even more confused, although what he did just now could indeed dispel Ashina's doubts, there was no need to be so excited.

Who knew that Ashina's next words almost choked Qin Xuan.

"Qin Gongzi, this friend, I like it very much, we are a grassland child, and I know how to respect the master who knows how to do horses. Moreover, this Soma master is only a person invited by Qin Gongzi, and he doesn't have much friendship with Qin Gongzi. Therefore, I hope that Gongzi Qin can sell this person to me! Ashina blurted out a triumphant word.

Qin Xuan's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "What?" Master Xing Honglin Xing was invited to do it for me, how can I buy and sell at will, even if Master Xing Honglin Xing has nothing to do with me, how can I buy and sell people! ”

Qin Xuan's overreaction made Ashina a a little puzzled. frowned and explained, "Young Master Qin." Why are you so angry? Buying and selling human beings is very common in this Limo City, and besides, this person is not related to you, so you sold him to me, and when I turned around, I said that this person was killed by a horse thief. Who else can do that? ”

Qin Xuan hadn't spoken out to refute yet. Xing Honglin took an arrow step. When he came to Ashina's side, he was just about to make a move, but he was dragged by Qin Xuan. Just as Qin Xuan looked at Qin Xuan with some coldness, Qin Xuan directly blurted out and scolded: "Ashina, I thought you were a bright and upright grassland man, but no, you actually did such a thing in advance, and you planned to become friends with you in Xia, but now it seems that this matter is no longer possible!" ”

Xing Honglin glanced at Qin Xuan gratefully, and then stepped aside, after all, Qin Xuan said just now that he was just a master of Soma that he had invited. However, in a blink of an eye, he thought that he was just a master of Soma invited by Qin Xuan, so didn't that mean that he had a bad relationship with Qin Xuan, so he couldn't help but take the matter of being bought and sold to heart, thinking of this, Xing Honglin blurted out directly: "Childe, can't you sell me to this Turk!" ”

Qin Xuan was originally worried that Xing Honglin would not cooperate with his acting, but when he heard Xing Honglin's words, Qin Xuan directly threw his hand at Xing Honglin and said, "Master Xing, don't worry, how can you do that in the future!" ”

The corners of Ashina's mouth on the side curved, and a vicious sneer flashed, and then he returned to normal, and said apologetically: "Qin Gongzi, don't be angry, this matter is really commonplace in Limo, since Qin Gongzi has no such intentions, I will definitely not be reluctant!" ”

Qin Xuan snorted coldly and said casually: "Forget it!" After speaking, he turned to the others and said, "Take off all the underwear that made the speech!" ”

When the soldiers heard Qin Xuan's words, they did not immediately start to undress, but discussed for a while, and then undressed one by one.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan was also impressed by the officials and soldiers, being so cautious and cautious could indeed make Qin Xuan happy. Not long after everyone took off their underwear with salt, Li Qingrui came with a side horse. When the horse stopped in front of Qin Xuan, Li Qingrui jumped down directly, untied a large package from the horse, handed it to Qin Xuan, and said, "Childe, bring the medicinal herbs!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded, turned his head to Ashina, and said: "Ashina, this medicinal material was promised to you in Xia, and it will be given to you now, and it will be retired in Xia, and it will be brought to Limo City for a period of time in Xia, if you still have any horses, just come and find it!" ”

Qin Xuan is also not like doing a desperate job, after all, this Ashina is the head snake of Limo City, and he came out to bring three thousand Mo sword soldiers to deter him, and he was really worried that this Ashina would give himself a yin knife behind his back.

Ashina was also very interesting, at that time, he motioned to the people of the tribe on the side, and also spoke some crooked Turkic language. Then, he turned his head to Qin Xuan and bowed slightly: "Qin Gongzi, don't be angry, what happened just now was that I was a little abrupt, and this is the remaining six thousand taels of silver." Hopefully we can still do business in the future! ”

Qin Xuan saw that Ashina no longer mentioned the matter of buying and selling Xing Honglin, and it was not good to keep a straight face, so he immediately nodded and said: "In this way, then the inferior person will retire first!" ”

The crowd jumped over to the horses they had just bought and drove straight south.

Looking at the backs of Qin Xuan and the others, Ashina didn't notice that his clansmen were untying the rope for him. After the rope was untied, Ashina breathed a deep sigh of relief and snorted coldly, not knowing what Lu Dao muttered to himself. But it doesn't look like it's going to be a good thing.

Qin Xuan and the others rode their horses southward for a while, and they had already crossed the hill that made Qin Xuan and Xing Honglin a little worried, before slowly slowing down. When Xing Honglin and Li Qingrui came to Qin Xuan left and right, Qin Xuan spoke: "Honglin, did you see this mountain just now, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Xing Honglin frowned and said, "Childe, I took a closer look twice, there shouldn't be anything abnormal!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded and said casually: "It's good if there is no abnormality!" ”

Unexpectedly, Xing Honglin shook his head directly and said: "However, I always feel that this mountain is not ordinary, there should be a problem!" ”

Li Qingrui, who was on the side, also spoke: "Childe, just now I have gone back and ordered a few officers and soldiers to let them go and have a look tonight!" ”

"Good, well done!"

Li Qingrui saw Xing Honglin's straight face, and asked casually: "Honglin, what's wrong with you, I don't see that your face is not very good!" ”

As soon as Li Qingrui's voice fell, in addition to Li Qingrui and Xing Honglin, more than a dozen people, including Qin Xuan's guide, all laughed. Li Qingrui was even more confused, turned his head and asked Qin Xuan again: "Childe, what happened?" ”

Qin Xuan laughed a few times, and was just about to speak, Xing Honglin on the side directly put on a straight face and said, "Childe, don't say it, save me some face!" (To be continued......)
