Chapter 726: Traveling Merchant

The inner city of Qi'an is quite prosperous, although it is not as prosperous as Shen Run's reign due to the war, but there is no depression, and the market of Qi'an is maintained in a tepid state.

The two took a horse-drawn carriage around the street, passing by a teahouse celebrating its anniversary. Lights were lit outside the door of the teahouse, and firecrackers were lit, which attracted Chenguang's attention, especially when she heard someone say that the dim sum in that shop was the best in Ji'an.

"Let's go to that teahouse." Chenguang said to Shen Run in the queue that the streets were in a state of flooding because of the opening of the teahouse.

"Don't you drink tea?" Shen Rundao.

"I can have a snack." Chenguang said confidently.

Shen Run glanced at her, and the two of them went to the teahouse where the anniversary was being celebrated.

There are no private rooms in the tea house, only private seats, which are separated by flower and grass screens, which relatively retains the private space of guests. Shen Run was not very happy with this decoration and wanted to leave, but Chenguang didn't care. She ordered a few refreshments, and asked Shen Run for a pot of purple bamboo shoot tea.

Shen Run was helpless.

After the refreshments were brought up by the guys, Chenguang happily ate snacks, and Shen Run drank tea with a bored face.

The teahouse celebrating the anniversary is probably an event to give back to the guests, and there are many guests in the teahouse today. Chenguang doesn't care, she likes to be lively.

Shen Run was a little irritable, he liked to be quiet.

Seeing this, Chenguang reluctantly gave him a piece of chestnut cake, and Shen Run's lipstick pen didn't eat it.

At this moment, two middle-aged men came up from downstairs, one of them carrying a huge wisteria box in his hand.

Traveling merchants are different from ordinary merchants, ordinary merchants are open in a fixed area to do business, traveling merchants are in various countries, specializing in buying scarce goods to sell to scarce such goods in a place with huge profits. But because I have been walking in various countries, the road is also very hard. Some travelers will form caravans, and some will bring servants and family members, but more often travel lightly and travel from place to place alone, so that although they earn more, they have to do everything themselves, which is much harder and more dangerous than ordinary people.

Chenguang likes traveling merchants, because they have been to many places, these people are very adventurous, as far as she knows, there are many traveling merchants who also write travel journals, they have a lot of experience, and the stories they have encountered are like strange stories.

Chenguang has been staring at the two of them since these two people went upstairs, and Shen Run turned her face when he saw this, first, it was very rude to do so, and second, it was easy to attract the attention of others and cause trouble.

Chenguang was turned over by Shen Run's head and continued to eat snacks.

The two traveling merchants who came upstairs were led by the guy to sit at a table on the right side of Chenguang and Shen Run, and the middle-aged man carrying a wisteria box accidentally touched the fan that Chenguang put on the table when he passed by Chenguang, and hurriedly apologized. Chenguang didn't care, and shook his head with a smile.

The two middle-aged men sat down at the table and ordered a pot of excellent black tea, which seemed to have made a lot of money.

Chenguang was eating a snack as she peeked at the table next to her, wondering what was in the middle-aged man's box?

The other party did not disappoint her, after serving tea, they exchanged a few polite words, and the middle-aged man opened the wisteria box on the table, and inside was a box of rare animal bones.

The middle-aged man who was doing business with him looked at the box full of animal bones, surprised and excited, picked up a piece and looked at the color carefully, and said to the traveling merchant who sold animal bones in an admiring tone:

"My brother is really amazing, I went to Beiguan and gained a lot!"

The "North Pass" in his mouth refers to the outside of the North Pass, which is a northern cold land that does not belong to the territory of Longxi Kingdom, full of snow-capped mountains, volcanoes, and large areas of grassland. It is uninhabitable and rarely visited, but the northern cold is not a deserted place, and there is a nomadic tribe called the Kana people. Those were strong, fierce and drought-tolerant, lived by herding, were predominantly carnivorous, and had their own language. They are not exiled by felons from all over the world like Flame City, they are people who live in the northern cold, like wild beasts.

The Kannese people are very strong, fierce and good at fighting, and whenever there is a shortage of food, the Kannese people will gather and attack the northern pass of Longxi Kingdom together, looting food and other goods.

The Kana people have no fixed residence, scattered all the year round, live by herding, and live a very free life, but I heard that they also have leaders, the tribal leaders of the Kana people are called "heavenly kings" by the Kana people, but the morning light has not been seen, a desert, a bitter cold, the two sides have no intersection at all.

But Chenguang also heard that because there is no one in the snow-capped mountains, there are all kinds of rare medicines, rare birds and beasts, because of these two points, although the northern cold land is dangerous, it has also attracted many traveling merchants who hope to make a lot of money.

However, ordinary people do not dare to go there, because the environment outside Beiguan is not only treacherous and dangerous, but also the Kana people, the Kanane people mainly eat meat, and a careless will be eaten by the carnivorous Kannese, for most traveling merchants, saving life is more important than making money.

The traveling merchant who sold animal bones was obviously the opposite of this one, he was a little proud, and said with a smile: "The northern barbarians look fierce, but in fact, their brains are not much smarter than donkeys, these are all from their hands, and they are all treasures. Brother Zhang, take a good look, no one in the entire Ji'an can have such a good quality as me. ”

The "Brother Zhang" in his mouth took the animal bone, looked at it carefully, and nodded in agreement.

"Dude bought it from those brutes?"

"Not really. It's also my good luck, just as soon as I entered the north to catch up with the birthday of the king, the warriors in the tribe all went into the mountains to look for treasure to the king of heaven's birthday, because they wanted to celebrate the birthday, they took it back in their hands but didn't need more, I found a person in the Kana tribe I knew before, and asked him to help me contact this group of warriors, and it was useless for them to keep useless things, I took the food and exchanged it all with them. ”

"I see, good luck guy! Brother has a chance to see the birthday gift of the king? What kind of birthday gift did the king of the Kana tribe get in the end? ”

"There are many kinds of things, but one of them is the most amazing, a young man hunted a giant snow ape in the snowy mountains, and took out a treasure from the snow ape's belly. The king of heaven was so happy that he gave him the princess on the spot. ”

The traveling merchant who collected the animal bones was surprised and curious, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of treasure is it?" ”

"It's jade, a half-moon-shaped red jade, with incantations written on it, and two phoenixes on it, which is nothing strange in the first place, but it is strange to come out of the belly of the snow ape. The King of Heaven regarded this piece of jade as an auspicious omen. ”
