On the official road outside the border city, a horse team was marching in the direction of the Yiwang Palace. At the head of the caravan were two guards on horseback, followed by an ordinary wide carriage, but if you look closely, you can see that the carriage is made of ebony wood throughout.

The carriage was followed by dozens of large wooden boxes escorted by dozens of guards. From the steady pace and steady breathing of these servants and guards, it can be seen that this group is all trained practitioners.

The breeze blew through the curtains of the carriage, faintly revealing the figures of the two people inside the carriage.

It turned out to be an old man and a young man. The old one is about 4 or 50 years old, and he has grown a beard, and the younger one is wearing a dark blue robe with purple edges, with sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, a pair of fox eyes that are high and raised into the eyebrows, and a face like a peach petal. People can't help but admire, what a beautiful man.

At this time, the man was reclining in the carriage as if he were boneless, chatting with the old one.

"Elder, we are quite well prepared this time, there should be no problem on the Yiren side!" The young man asked at the old man.

"Second master, I have already contacted the subordinates of King Su Rile and Ke. We brought 30,000 catties of grain and more than 100,000 taels of silver tickets this time, and I don't know how many horses we can get in exchange! The old man, known as the Elder, reported to the man in front of him about the current situation.

"It is said that people are bold and do not put any effort into it, but this is not the case. We have been exchanging grain and silver for horses with this group of Yi people every year, which can be said to have given them enough sweetness. But the horses they gave us were all sick horses, and in previous years, most of them would die before they were brought back to the city, and even if the rest did not die, they could not achieve the expected effect. The corners of the young man's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile.

"Shhh The old man took a breath of cold air, the second master should stop laughing, the old man's heart couldn't stand it. Usually I would be stunned when I saw this perfect handsome face, but now that the second master is smiling, his heart has paused, and the lethality of the second master is really getting bigger and bigger.

"If you don't know the year, let's take the uncooked grain and try it?" The elder calmed down and spoke again.

In his heart, he secretly slandered: The behavior of the Yi people is naturally despicable, but the master in front of him is not an honest person.

The Yi people are good at raising horses, and the Han people are good at farming and handicrafts.

Both sides had what the other wanted, so trade and exchange became a matter of course, but in reality, neither side wanted to make the other stronger.

In the first year of the establishment of trade between the two sides, the second master ordered that all the grain used for trade be scalded with boiling water.

And he planned to wait for King Yi to send someone to question why the rice did not sprout, and then inform the other party that their way of growing grain was wrong.

The result coincided with the practice of King Yi, who exchanged all the problematic horses of his tribe with them.

Therefore, a large number of horses died directly before they were sent to the border city. And the rest of the horses, for unspeakable reasons, could not be used as breeding foals at all.

When the second master sent someone to the royal court to question, King Yi also said that the way the Jin people raised horses was wrong.

So with the tacit understanding of both parties, such a deal actually lasted for nearly 5 years.

For the past five years, both sides have been counting on the other side to find out in conscience.

Even if you can't use all the high-quality products, but have a mix of good and bad products, or even a little bit of a fish, that's a good start.

But it turned out that this idea was just a good wish.

In fact, under the premise that neither side wants to lose, this calculated transaction has been in a lose-lose situation.

"Give them uncooked grain? Then let them learn to grow food, expand their race after they have enough food and clothing, and finally invade the Great Jin? The second master snorted coldly.

"But the deal we have now has no value and no meaning!" The old man was a little depressed, and he took risks to trade every year, but he returned disappointed every year.

I come with a large army every year to change horses, and occasionally encounter robbers in the middle, although there are no casualties among the manpower, but there is also a sense of labor and money, I really don't know what the second master is obsessed with.

The second master is not unaware of the current situation, but he actually has his own considerations when he goes to Tongyi to change horses every year.

The Yi people are good at animal husbandry, and the horses of the Jin Dynasty are not as strong as the horses of the Yi people no matter how they are cultivated, and they have also sent people to rob the horses. However, the Yiren are cunning, and most of the people who can be placed near the border cities have been processed, and they have no ability to reproduce at all.

I go deep into each other's royal court every year, and I also have people who are good at raising horses around me, and I don't want to see how they graze, but I haven't found a clue so far.

"There will be a harvest one day, I heard that it has been quiet over there recently!" The second master closed the fox's eyes in a daze.

"The old man also heard that it seems that a group of elite soldiers and horses under Dai Qin's men broke when they invaded the village before, and there has been no movement since then!" The old man also got the information from 4 days ago.

"Oh, didn't you say that Daiqin's soldiers and horses were the most elite among the Yi people? It was folded in the village, which village is so capable? That's kind of interesting! The second master opened his eyes again, not hiding his curiosity at all.

"I heard it was done by a passing hero." The elder told the second master according to the most reliable version he had heard.

"Oh! You follow up. If you are from your own country, you can consider taking it for your own use. The second master thought for a while and said to the elder leisurely.

After seeing the elder nodding, he closed his eyes again to recuperate, leaving only the elder to continue to be stunned at the second master's face.

Without saying a word all the way, the carriage continued to move forward.

And Jin Qing, who didn't know that he had been remembered by others, was completely broken down at this time.

Jin Qing's pot is gone.

After the last fried vegetables were contaminated, Jin Qing didn't come to clean them up urgently, and as a result, the burnt vegetable leaves stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Jin Qing wanted to buckle the vegetable leaves with his hands, but he used too much strength, and the pot was poked out.

In anger, Jin Qing kneaded the iron pot into an iron ball, and now she has no food to eat, and she is living a barbecue again.

Sighing, Jin Qing took the huge horse leg that had been roasted on the grill and was nearly one meter long in his hand, eat it, otherwise the feeling of being hungry would be too painful!

The roasted horse leg is hard and woody, and the meat is sour and not delicious, but this is the only thing I can eat now.

Picking up the horse meat and taking a bite of it, Jin Qing stretched his neck and swallowed it. Suddenly, I heard an angry roar: ", do you know what you're eating?" ”
