"Friend, did you bring silk? We are willing to buy at a high price! As soon as he entered Loulan City, a large group of merchants surrounded him because of their unique costumes, shouting to Li You in stiff Chinese from the soldiers.

"We are the envoy of the Great Han, not a caravan!" Li You shook his head and said, those people's faces couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, they wanted that kind of magical fabric so much, that kind of textile that was smoother and moisturized than a girl's skin in the westerly world was enough to sell at a price that even the most greedy merchants would be satisfied with!

"But we did bring a bit of silk!" Li You walked to the back of the team and lifted the package on the back of a certain horse, and the unique brilliance of the silk instantly made the eyes of all the merchants widen, and greed, eagerness and other eyes quickly surrounded Li You.

"Honorable envoy of the Han Empire, I am a merchant from Dawan, and I am willing to exchange these with you!" An obese businessman took out a bag from his clothes and poured out a few sparkling gems from it to give to Li You.

"I am a merchant from Kangju, and I am willing to exchange gold with you!" Another merchant shouted at the top of his voice, "I will take as much silk as you can take!" ”

Sure enough, it is a commercial city, Li You feels as if he has come to the refund window of the railway station during the Spring Festival, and there are people everywhere who come to inquire about him! But his goal was not just to sell some money in exchange for more convenient transportation.

"That's all there is to it this time!" Li You patted the small package on the horse's back, causing everyone to sigh regretfully, this thing is far from enough for them, "So I can only choose a merchant to trade with me!" Whoever can meet my conditions, I will give him these silks! ”

"Venerable messenger! What do you want? Gold? Belle? Jewel? Or is it a message? Whatever you want, we can do it for you! "Any provider of scarce products will be sought after, and despite knowing that the conditions of the other party can be very harsh and even extremely dangerous, there is enough profit for none of these people to leave.

"I'm going to the Otsuki Clan, which of you knows about the situation in the Otsuki Clan? If anyone's news satisfies me, then these silks are his! "There is still a distance of thousands of miles from Loulan to the Da Yue Clan, and with the current traffic and information transmission situation, not just anyone will know about the situation of the Da Yue Clan! And these businessmen who travel around the world for money have become Li You's greatest hope, and their news is much better than that of ordinary people.

"Noble messenger from afar! I am a merchant of Shule Country, and the contemptible country is very close to the Otsutsuki Clan. A white-robed merchant squeezed out of the crowd and saluted, "So the contemptible people know a little about the situation of the Otsuki clan. ”

Shule country? How close is it to the Otsuki clan? Does this mean that the Otsuki clan has not yet migrated from the banks of the Ili River to the Amu Darya River? Li You's heartbeat was a little rapid, he suppressed his excitement, nodded calmly and said, "So you come over first, is there any news?" ”

"The envoy of the Han Empire, I am from the Dayue Clan, what do you have to ask?" Unexpectedly, the main lord came right now, and a person of the Otsutsuki clan stood up.

After waiting for a while, asking a few questions casually, and eliminating some guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters, Li You left with these two merchants from Shule Country and Dayue Clan respectively.

Chartered an inn that seemed to be okay, arranged for the soldiers in the division to go to the bath and dinner, and Li You brought his father, Chen Qingzhi and the two businessmen to his room.

"This is the tea produced by Dahan! Drinking it is good for the body! After the soldiers who helped them make tea retreated, Li You raised the teacup and took a sip first, and then began to talk about the wonders of tea, and he was not in a hurry to inquire about the situation of the Da Yue clan.

At the beginning, the two businessmen could calmly talk to him and send a few insincere compliments, but seeing that Li You didn't talk about the topic for a long time and pulled it to the Dayue clan, the two of them finally couldn't sit still; The merchant from the Otsutsuki clan coughed lightly, "Honorable messenger, I don't know what you are going to do in the Otsutsuki clan?" What questions would you like to ask? ”

"Your Excellency Envoy, I only came from Shule Country half a year ago, and my news is more timely than his!" The merchant from Shule Kingdom hurriedly interrupted, "He has been in Loulan for more than a year, and there is a lot of news that he doesn't know. ”

Yes, in this day and age, it is timely to know the news thousands of miles away half a year ago! Seeing that the two of them had already fallen into their own design, Li You smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two, I will divide this batch of silk into several parts, and one question represents the right to sell a part of the silk!" Whoever of you satisfies me, this part of the silk is his! As for the price, I will give you the best price! ”

"First question, where is the Otsuki clan now?" Seeing that the two of them did not object, Li You asked the question that was most relevant to him now, and the answer to this question would determine whether his future journey would be 3,000 miles or 5,000 miles.

"The Great Moon Clan is on the banks of the Ileshui River, south of the Wusun Kingdom! The two of them replied almost at the same time, and the merchant of the Otsuki clan took out a map that he treasured from his bosom, and told Li You the location and territory of the Otsuki clan in detail, thus winning the right to buy the first batch of silk, while the merchant of the Shule clan turned his head angrily and waited anxiously for the second question.

That's good news! It seems that he will save more than 2,000 miles of travel than Zhang Qian this time! Hearing that the Da Yue Clan had not yet been driven to the banks of the Amu Darya River by the Wusun Kingdom, Li You breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked a second question, "What is the political situation in the Da Yue Clan?" Is there any fighting with the surrounding area? Win or lose? ”

"When this contemptible person left the Great Moon Clan, the country was quite safe, although there were some minor conflicts with Wusun Kingdom, but it would not hurt the domestic roots!" After hesitating for a while, the merchant of the Otsuki Clan replied that it had been more than a year since he left the Otsuki Clan, and he didn't know if this news was outdated!

"Venerable messenger, he is not right!" The merchant of Shule Country was happy, he knew that the second batch of silk was his own, and the situation between Wusun and the Dayue Clan had changed greatly in more than a year, "Now that the Wusun Kingdom is ready for a full-scale war with the Dayue Clan, the Dayue Clan is afraid that it is dangerous!" ”

Li You and the merchant of the Otsutsuki clan sank their faces at the same time, this is out-and-out bad news!
