Text Chapter 41 General Dangkou
"Okay, okay. This first horse is named White Crane, the body is light, if it encounters a ravine, it is said that it can fly straight up, and the death is auspicious; The second horse, named White Snow, has a wide belly and back, and is the most steady, which can make people feel like walking on flat ground; The third horse is called the Yezhao Jade Lion, which is the most flexible and humane, and can often think about what the owner thinks and what the master is anxious about. Zhu Xi was about to say something, but Zhao Yun's voice on the side had already sounded, "I want this Yezhao Jade Lion." ”
I don't know why, just when Zhao Yun said this, the night jade lion suddenly jumped up with his hooves, and he looked like he was about to leave the stable.
I saw that this horse was one foot two from head to tail, more than eight feet from hoof to back, big hooves and wrists, seven inches thin, bamboo skewer ears, knife mantis neck, dry stick bones, open front chest, and when it moved, it was like a dragon.
The Yezhao Jade Lion is exactly what Zhao Yun rode in history, and now that the owner has appeared, it naturally can't help but cheer.
After saying that he wanted this horse, Zhao Yun's face turned red, because he thought that such a healthy horse must be worth a lot of money.
Sure enough, Zhu Xi on the side immediately said: "This son has good eyesight, this night jade lion is not an ordinary good horse, but if you pick one good thing, it is difficult for the entire horse market to match it." Therefore, its price is the most expensive, a full 80,000 taels of silver. ”
"What?" Even though he had a certain amount of preparation in his heart, after hearing this value, Zhao Yun couldn't help but exclaim, although he didn't say anything, but the meaning on his face was indeed why don't you grab it.
Zhu Xi was drunk by Zhao Yun, and his face also blushed and said: "Yes, if it is just a horse, its price is a little too expensive." But this is indeed a good horse, and it can save lives when it is critical. ”
If you want to say this, it was really Zhu Xi who said it, and this night Zhaoyu Lion didn't know how many times he saved Zhao Yun's life. In the end, the title of God of War was achieved.
"Even if it can save lives, the price is too expensive." Wang De, who was on the side, took a step forward under Zhang Chao's gesture and began to bargain.
If Zhang Chao does such a thing in his current capacity, it will be a bit out of place, but it is indeed appropriate for Wang De, the identity of an innkeeper, to do it.
Immediately, the two sides began the process of negotiation. Zhao Yun also came to Zhang Chao's side and stood still, a little unsure of what to say.
After all, up to now, he had just killed He Yi, a not-so-famous general, in the Battle of Changshe, and he hadn't made any great achievements. Of course he felt ashamed to have to buy such an expensive horse all at once.
"Hehe, Zilong and rest assured, it's yours and won't run away." Zhang Chao patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and comforted. Then he turned his head and asked Tai Shici: "Righteousness, can there be anything you like among these three horses?" ”
"Second son, no." Tai Shi Ci shook his head and told the truth.
To say that these three horses are all outstanding, they are all good horses, but I don't know why, he just feels that it is not suitable for him. In the present, he is not like Zhao Yun has followed Zhang Chao to make military exploits, he just came and owed 5,000 taels of silver, if he asked for a healthy horse of tens of thousands of silver taels in Zhangkou, it would be really difficult to speak.
"Oh, there is no here, it doesn't matter, I will ask Zhu Xi to take you to another place to have a look, in short, you must have a good horse, otherwise your work will not be wasted?" Zhang Chao didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, the ability of ether Shi Ci needs to be assisted by a group of fast horses to be the best.
"Second son." Hearing Zhang Chao say this, Tai Shici's eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't even know what to say at this time.
Wang De still had two sons, and after some bargaining, in the end, three horses such as Yezhao Jade Lion were bought at a price of 150,000 taels.
Among them, the night light jade lion is the most expensive, 70,000 taels, the white crane 50,000 taels, and the white snow 30,000 taels.
After negotiating the price, I said that I would go to Yuelaiju to collect the money later. Zhang Chao said to Zhu Xi again: "Look, I still have a brother who hasn't found a suitable horse, what should I do." ”
"Aren't there three horses?" Zhu Xi asked puzzled.
"There's another batch for another friend of mine, well, you don't need to know so much, let's talk about what other good horses are in this horse market. Of course, money is not an issue. For fear of embarrassment for Zhu Xi, Zhang Chao added this sentence again.
Seeing that this boy spent 155,000 taels without blinking an eye, Zhu Xi also believed in his strength, so he said: "Okay, there is a good horse over there, but the price is not cheap, so it will be good if it is not too expensive at that time." ”
"No, just lead the way." Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled.
...... Half an hour later, a group of people came out of the Luoyang Horse Market, among which the first one was Zhang Chao, who was riding on the white crane at this time, and with the backdrop of a good horse, he just felt that his spirit seemed to have increased a lot.
In fact, the white crane was Cao Hong's car in the previous life, and it was called at the time: "Leaping out of thin air, the white crane of the Cao family". But in this life, he is destined to have no chance with Cao Hong.
Another batch of white snow was for Guo Jialiu, and coincidentally, the owner of this horse was also Guo Fengxiao, which was fate.
Next followed by Zhao Yun riding the Yezhao Jade Lion, and Tai Shici riding the brown shadow.
Jueying is another healthy horse introduced by Zhu Xi, and this horse is one of Cao Cao's cars, which was later dedicated to him, and now his reputation is not obvious, so he was given a quick start by Zhang Chao. Naturally, it is impossible to say that the matter of sacrificing horses is absolutely impossible.
Jueying was also negotiated at a price of 70,000 taels, which made Tai Shici very moved, and he, like Zhao Yun, made up his mind to serve Zhang Chao well, and in the future, he would go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and repay for meritorious service.
It's just that at the price of 140,000 taels, he did get two generals, and Zhang Chao was worth it no matter how he looked at it.
Followed by the guards, Wang De, Zhu Xi and others.
Just now, Zhang Chao has already explained, so that Zhu Xi will first show Wang De if he sells good horses, and if they are good horses, they must stay. In this way, Zhu Xi is so happy that his mouth is under his ears, and this time he has met a big customer, and he will not have to worry about the horse business in the future.
returned to Yuelaiju, Zhang Chao was naturally complacent, and this day's trip could be described as a lot of gains. found a daughter-in-law, not to mention a very influential father-in-law, but also found a general, and Lu Su's affairs are basically nine out of ten. Now all of this person's whereabouts are followed by people from the Sky Eye Organization.
I just got a few good horses, although the price is not cheap, but for human life, it is nothing.
After doing these things and settling Tai Shici in his right room, Zhang Chao began to think about going to face the saint tomorrow.
The Ten Standing Servants were by Emperor Han Ling's side, influencing him, indirectly manipulating national affairs, and the power was so great that it can be imagined. And one of the representatives of the Ten Standing Servants is this Zhang Rang.
Because of Zuo Feng, Zhang Rang wanted to see him in person this time, why wasn't this an opportunity for him? Although I hate such a eunuch who has brought disaster to the country and the people very much in my heart, I think about it on the other hand, if I didn't have such a person, how could the Han Dynasty die, and where would I have the opportunity?
"Forget it, he's a bastard, and he can't get in the way of anything about himself anyway, as long as there is money to open the way, I don't believe that he can't achieve his goal." Thinking like this, Zhang Chao fell asleep on the bed.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chao came to the east gate of the palace according to the time he had agreed with Zuo Feng.
At the east gate, Zuo Feng was standing there proudly. From a distance, I saw Zhang Chao walking with Zhao Yun and Tai Shici and his party, and he didn't mean to move at all.
Zhang Chao didn't care, villains have always been like this, and a little power seems to be afraid that others will not know.
"My lord, the grass people are here." Zhang Chao came alone not far from Zuo Feng and greeted softly.
"Well, you're no longer a grass people, you're already a general of the Dangkou." Zuo Feng said in a male duck voice, male and female.
"Yes, it's all thanks to the trouble of the adults. I have arranged for something to be delivered to your house. When he said this, Zhang Chao added another number to it.
"Five hundred thousand taels."
As soon as he heard this number, his face was still very serious, and Zuo Feng, who was on a business-like face, immediately smiled, "Oh, look at what you say." I also prepared things for me, and General Zhang really bothered. ”
"Hehe, it should be, it should be." Zhang Chao looked at Zuo Feng and immediately changed his face, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "The ancients said that money can make ghosts grind. Don't lie to me! ”
With money to open the way, Zuo Feng took Zhang Chao into the east gate of the palace and went to the place where Zhang Rang lived.
Along the way, Zuo Feng also reminded Zhang Chao, "Father Zhang doesn't like people who talk a lot, after you see it for a while, you have to listen more and talk less, understand?" ”
