Chapter 337: A Profiteer from the Western Regions (Part II)
At the banquet, Moro did not say a word about the sheepskin, and Liu Yu had already realized that the profiteer might be in debt. However, Liu Yu's ultimate goal is to enter the country of Qiuzi and then find a way to return to the Central Plains, as for sheepskins, heavy things can't be moved, unless they can be exchanged for silver or food, there is no need to worry about Moro.
"Young man, are you leaving?"
When Liu Yu informed Moro of his intention to leave, Moro asked with a bit of regret on his face.
Liu Yu said: "My sister and I have been away from home for a long time, homesick, and want to go home as soon as possible to reunite with our family. ”
Moro nodded and said, "At least tonight, the two hundred sheepskins, I still have to raise a little, yes, I have to raise a little!" I also want to remind you that there are wars on the way back to Middle-earth from Qiuci Country, and the Turks and Central Plains people, as well as all kinds of chaotic people, are fighting in a mess and it is very unsafe. ”
Liu Yue felt more and more that this Moro would be relinquishing, and at this time, Liu Yue had long used his feelings to make judgments on a person's character.
"Thank you Brother Moro for reminding me, my sister and I will be safe when we go back!"
When Liu Yu came out, he saw Moro holding a telescope and went to Jason again, and it seemed that a new round of bargaining had begun.
Liu Yu returned to the room, the little beggar was still sitting on the bench honestly, the sky had darkened, but unfortunately there were no candles, and the surroundings were very dim. The little beggar looked up and asked, "Have you got the sheepskin?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Moro said that he would raise it, but I think it is more likely that he will repay the debt." ”
The little beggar stopped talking, as if he was angry. In her opinion, it was Liu Yue who wanted to rely on her.
Sleeping in a dark and manned environment, Liu Yue felt dangerous. I kept my eyes open and waited. Coco Guan seems to have rioted. It seems to be a mess out there. The sound is getting louder and louder.
"Did the Turks call, or did you Han Chinese?" The little beggar looked out in a panic.
Liu Yuxin said that it would be so unsafe to be in the city of Qiuzi Country, and he was about to go out to take a look, when Moro ran over in a panic and shouted: "Young man, young man from the Central Plains, something is wrong, the flower devil is here." Hurry up and run for your life! ”
Flower devils?
Seeing Liu Yu's puzzled face, Moro explained: "It's the Khwarakers, I don't know what you Central Plains people say." ”
Liu Yuxin said that this is really a rare race, in the past university history class, it was mentioned that Xiliao had mentioned Khorezm in West Asia, which should also be regarded as a nomadic people, but I didn't expect that in this world, this race actually expanded the border in the direction of the Central Plains.
It doesn't matter anymore, it's important to run for your life right away!
Moro said as if to beckon the men of his caravan to flee. Liu Yu grabbed him and asked, "Can we go together?" ”
"Peers?" Moro seemed to come to his senses. said lightly, "But I'm afraid it will cost a little travel money." How about two hundred sheepskins? ”
Liu Yuxin said that it turned out that Moro was waiting for him here, thinking that Moro had his own caravan and armed force, and that he would have protection in such a strange and war-torn country, which was much more important than two hundred sheepskins. There is also something that attracts Liu Yue, Moro will take care of the food, otherwise Liu Yue will choose to ride a horse and flee for his life. With the presence of the merchant Moro, at least he would give them a little help on the way, even if it was meager.
"Deal!" Liu Yudao.
"Then you go in and clean up, call your sister, and set off overnight!"
As soon as he entered Qiuci, Liu Yu did not expect that the territory of Qiuci Country was not peaceful, and he had to flee for his life. Fortunately, he was accustomed to running for his life, but the stable life made him feel uneasy. When Liu Yu and the little beggar got into a carriage with a cloak, in the carriage, Jason was sitting there with a dark face, obviously he was also cheated by Moro for "travel money".
The carriage began to drive, bumpy all the way, because the Khorezmian people were infantry attacking the city, and the speed was not very fast, and there was basically no need to worry about the pursuers when sitting in the carriage. Because there will be Khwarazm attacks along the way, there is still danger along the way.
"Slow down! My God, you madmen, go fast, you will die! Jason was yelling there, but the car couldn't hear him at all.
Jason was just venting his frustration there.
"Mr. Jason, how much money did you get for your travel expenses from Moro?" The carriage was bumpy, and it was boring to rush at night, Liu Yu asked Jason with a smile.
"That vampire, he cheated me for sixty gold coins, that's the gold coin of King Dada's very high quality, my gold coins!"
Liu Yue smiled indifferently, it seems that he is not a loss. Moro pitted him with 200 sheepskins, which was just a telescope for him, and this Jason, that was the real vomiting blood. Sixty gold coins were also enough wealth for him to return to the Central Plains in Liu Yu's opinion. At this time, there was also a medium-sized box in front of Jason, and Liu Yu guessed that it should contain the gold coins that Jason used to do business, at least a few hundred.
"Mr. Jason, how did you get here? As far as I know, your country, which is tens of thousands of miles away from here, is impossible to come even by boat! ”
This is what Liu Yu cares about, it stands to reason that even if these British guys start a big voyage, they should not appear in the Western Regions where birds don't.
"What did you say?" Jason looked dazed, "I don't understand!" ”
So Liu Yu repeated it in English, and Jason was surprised: "Central Plains people, what you said is too good." I didn't expect that there would be people in the Central Plains who would like to learn from us, so I came in from a place called Lakuihai, I brought a lot of gold coins, and along the way, I bought and sold a lot of goods, and I exchanged them for good things, and I was ready to take them back! ”
Liu Yu guessed that the "Laqua Sea" where Jason landed should be the Persian Gulf, or India and other places near the sea, or the Black Sea. If you think about it, without the Suez Canal, it is more likely that the Laqua Sea will be equal to the Black Sea. Calculating the distance, this Jason has taken a long road.
"A lot of cargo?" Liu Yu took a look, this Jason's belongings were just a box.
There is only one chest.
"It's all here!" Jason looked excited and patted the box in front of him, "Want to see it?" It's all good, good, good! ”
With that, Jason opened his box, and when Liu Yu saw the good things inside, he really wanted to hit his head to death.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Liu Yue took a look inside, where were the "goods", they were all worthless gadgets, bottles and cans of wood and iron, Liu Yue was stunned that he didn't find a useful thing from it. The telescope that Liu Yugang sold to Moro was among them, and it was clear that the deal had been struck, and Jason had spent eighty gold coins, to say the least.
Suckers! Liu Yu said secretly in his heart. No wonder Moro likes to do business with Jason.
The carriage did not stop until almost dawn, and at dawn Moro hurried over and said, "We have a little trouble. ”
"What's the trouble?" Liu Yu looked ahead, it was a wilderness, this wilderness, could it be that he encountered robbers or the car broke down? They were riding in a carriage, and unless the axle was broken, or the horse was burping, it would not run out of gas.
Liu Yu looked at the caravan and several carriages, but there was nothing abnormal.
"We're going to Yueshi, but unfortunately, the border guards won't let us in, we're in trouble!" Moro looked in the direction of the road with a panicked expression, for fear that the pursuers would chase him.
Liu Yu was stunned, this has just entered Qiuzi, and he is going to go to the Yue Clan Country again? Why don't you come here for sightseeing, why do you travel to so many countries? (To be continued......)
