CHAPTER XXXV

After breakfast, Shurakshasa was very active in tidying himself up.

He received the news that today was the big day of the opening of the salt market in Barley City.

Although the Persians did not come, the Shurakshasa was also considering buying salt from the Gamo people in India.

The maximum preferential price has also been preliminarily discussed, and Shurakshasa can't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

Although salt is cheap in India, the amount of salt they buy back in their autumn crops is more than double.

But the quantity reached did not reach the quality, and he was disappointed a lot.

The second young man hurriedly walked into the door of the inn from the outside, and saw the Shurakshasa who was already ready to go out, and said anxiously

"City Lord, something is wrong. I'm afraid there is no salt market big market. ”

Shurakshasa looked at Er Shao in surprise, his eyes full of questions. But he didn't say anything, waiting for Er Shao to continue. Taking a breath, Er Shao said

"Barley City, there are rumors outside the city where the ghost clan troops are, and the purpose is unclear. It's just that the street has spread that the salt market will not be held this year. ”

Shurakshasa chuckled in his heart, and he asked with a sigh of relief

"What else do you hear about these things, and then pour them out"

Er Shao said

"That's it, it's just hearsay, Mai Jiajun's son has already gone out of the city to negotiate peace, Mai Jiajun doesn't plan to fight with the ghost clan, I don't know what they are talking about."

Shurakshasa is really unable to restrain his resentment. He stood at the gate and shouted

"The salt market of Barley City, why is it so difficult. Our caravans were in the old salt market, and they didn't make a deal.

Being tossed by this, this, Mai Jiajun ran to Barley City, and the result! I still don't have a chance to do salt business.

That's. ”

Er Shao looked at Shurakshasa a little nervously, and complained loudly in annoyance.

He was also helpless to stand still.

The words were divided into two ways, moving towards the leader of the new and ghost clans, and the peace talks outside the city ended smoothly.

Mai Jiajun sat in the conference hall, anxiously waiting for his son's return.

At the end of the day, he walked into the meeting hall of Damai City. Seeing the eldest son walk in, Mai Jiajun hurriedly greeted him.

Said positively

"Xiang Xin, tell us quickly, how are you talking?"

Standing behind Mai Jiajun was General Qingyi, who also had an anxious expression. Look at the new.

Taking a sip of warm tea, he said slowly

The talk was basically successful. The leader of the ghost clan has promised me that as long as I hand over the Peacock City Master Rakshasa. Retreat ten miles and don't invade us. ”

Mai Jiajun applauded happily, and he said happily

"My son is like a god, it seems that it is not that we have offended the ghost clan, but that our Damai City has been held this time, and the salt market has invited the wrong guest! to provoke this inexplicable scourge. ”

General Qingyi was even more worried, he stomped his feet and said

"City Lord, you and Shurakshasa have been friends for many years. Moreover, in my opinion, the Shurakshasa even has plans to marry you. ”

Mai Jiajun's face changed, and he said in a solemn tone

"Still, our salt market is more important, and that Aurasha in Peacock City is a scourge. I can only discard," General Qingyi leaned closer and said in a low voice

"While they are still in the dark, it is better to take them down quickly. Contribute to the leader of the ghost clan. ”

Towards the new but not happy to get up and take the initiative to say

"Dad, General Qingyi, you are confused, after all, we want to open the door to do business and make character.

We just don't care what others think of us, we have to pretend.

That salt market is a big market, but our future financial road. ”

Stepping towards a new earnest words, the two elders were speechless for a long time, not knowing what to do.

Mai Jiajun raised his head, looked at his son solemnly and said

"So, what do you think? Say yes to the new one. ”

Towards the new look at General Qingyi said

"It's better for us to tell Shurakshasa bluntly and see if we can negotiate with him. What do you think? ”

General Qingyi shook his head and said

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Mai Jiajun also shook his head and said

"I don't think it's okay either, then the Shurakshasa won't be willing, for our barley city. He who went to give his head to the leader of the demon clan. ”

Xiang Xin also shook his head, and after a long time, the three of them were speechless. Mai Jia Jun sighed sadly.

Shurakshasa walked in the market, and he knew that since there was no such thing as a salt market.

Then there will be many caravans that will be ready to leave, and they will have to negotiate privately and do the business of exchanging salt. In the inn, Er Shao and Zhong Liguo guarded together, carefully bringing the autumn grain along the way.

The rest of the people were tending to the horses and feeding the camels.

All the people from Peacock City were busy, and they were all instinctively worried that the salt market would not be able to open, and the big matter of Shurakshasa exchanging salt for salt had encountered resistance.

I don't know how he will solve it, and I look forward to returning to my hometown as soon as possible.

Walking past several inns, the Shurakshasa silently resided next to the tent where a caravan of the Indian Gamo people lived. He walked into the tent and lifted the curtain with his hand. Look down at the people inside the tent.

Seeing Shurakshasa himself standing in front of his tent, the Kamo man, You Jiajia, was a very shrewd businessman. You Jiajia said excitedly

"Peacock City Lord, you are here, disrespectful and disrespectful. It's the first time we've been able to sit down and talk together. ”

Shurakshasa didn't see outside, took the initiative to walk into the tent, and sat next to You Jiajia with a butt. He rubbed his big hands naturally.

Said with the same enthusiasm

"Originally, it was at the time of the old salt market.

There, I just want to have a drink with you and talk to you.

However, after I heard there that there would be no big gathering.

If you are also troubled by something at home, you will go home early.

I haven't seen you for a few days, and I met you again in Damai City today, which is really fateful. ”

You Jiajia looked at the Shurakshasa with a smile on her face, but her heart was like a mirror.

He was secretly thinking about how to negotiate with the city lord of Peacock City to increase the amount and price of the big thing of exchanging for salt.

You Jiajia made up his mind in his heart, since Shurakshasa took the initiative to make friends with him, the purpose was to eat salt, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with his salt, and he was determined to get it.

Thinking of this, You Jiajia got closer to handing Shurakshasa a hookah and smoking it together.

Shurakshasa skillfully took the hookah, took a soft puff, and spit out a smoke bubble. He was nourished by the smoke clouds and breathed a comfortable sigh.

You Jiajia said

"So, what do you think, city lord, this salt market in Barley City, this matter."

Shurakshasa complained unceremoniously

"Originally, in that old salt market, the things that could be done were finally arranged to come to this barley city.

I thought it would be a great opportunity.

As a result, hey, the salt market was not opened, and the Persians did not arrive. It's not auspicious, it's pure."

You Jiajia smiled faintly, smoked a hookah, and spit out a small smoke bubble. Said

"City Lord, what you say is very true, but you don't know anything."

Shurakshasa looked at You Jiajia in surprise and said

"What other story episodes, You Jiajia, you old boy, don't hide it from me, let alone sell it. I don't eat that. ”

You Jiajia said positively

"City Lord, you don't know.

I know!

Actually, it's really something that has a huge impact on your relationship with Mai Jiajun in Damai City.

If, I say it bluntly. If you want to drive, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Shurakshasa said more solemnly

"You may be able to say it, I am a great man, and I have never seen anything. There's nothing you can't think of. ”

You Jiajia whispered mysteriously

"Actually, you don't know, there are also people in the ghost clan, and they live in Damai City."

Shurakshasa was shocked

"Really, are we still safe? How do you know. ”

You Jiajia continued

"Actually, the leader of the ghost clan has capable men living in the city, in order to do the business of buying and selling guns."

Shurakshasa said strangely

Is that. Why are the ghost forces still besieging Damai City? It doesn't make sense. ”

You Jiajia also said in confusion

"I'm also curious, why. Why did the ghost clan make it difficult for the Maijia army this time.

It was not easy for him to make this salt market market, why did he make it look like this. ”

The hookah in Shurakshasa was already smoking fast, and he said positively

"Let's get down to business, what's the price of your salt?"

You Jiajia said with a polite smile

"It's still the same price, my buddy told me. I know you've been inquiring all day long. ”

Shurakshasa continued

"Well, you've seen my oats and paddy, and corn."

You Jiajia said dejectedly

"What chance have you seen there, the strict one that your family guards."

After Shurakshasa smoked a bag of hookah, he said positively

"Otherwise, you can go to the inn where I live.

Look at the things in my house, let's trade today, you say, the family doesn't speak foreign words. ”

You Jiajia thought to herself, in fact, I already knew about the products in Peacock City.

It's always the best thing. However, I can't lower the price before you open your mouth.

After making up her mind, You Jiajia said happily

"Let's go, I'll go with you, and I'll take a look at the fine oats in Peacock Villas."

The two of them stood up almost together and walked out of the tent together. Shurakshasa took a few steps first, followed by the thin You Jiajia.

They walked down the narrow streets, chatting together about the trivial matters of their respective homes.

Suddenly, he met head-on, and he was also looking for the Shurakshasa Maijia Army. Namai Jiajun saw the Shurakshasa walking with Youjiajia, a native of India.

Mai Jiajun said enthusiastically

"I've been looking for you. Shura, where did you go to You Jiajia, and you don't know how to go back to the inn. Cause me and your son-in-law to drink tea for most of the day. ”

"I really didn't expect that your little flower was out of line first, and the child was only ten years old, so you were willing to do it."

When Shurakshasa heard Mai Jiajun mention Xiaohua's marriage, he took the initiative to cough his throat deliberately and said lightly

"It's all this, providence. What is fate, it's like wearing shoes properly, it's your thing. ”

Mai Jiajun said with an embarrassed dry smile

"Let's go, we haven't been busy for most of the day, so let's go to my house and drink tea."

Shurakshasa also had too many questions in his heart, and he really wanted to hear them.

That Mai Jiajun himself explained what the situation was and why the salt market was originally good.

Just like that, it was simply defeated by a ghost clan.
