"To tell you the truth, the horse bandits within a radius of 500 miles have been cleared by me. So, I want to reopen this trade route. With the power of the whole city, protect the safety of the caravans. But to do this, I need my husband to help me. ”

Li Guangyin trembled in his heart and understood what Lu Xiao meant. He wanted to openly take the lead in re-taking this trade route. But this kind of thing is not something to be said casually. Changing the trade route, I don't know how many people's interests are involved, how could he Li Guangyin dare to move casually?

But before he could speak, Lu Xiao directly interrupted him.

"Sir don't have to be busy refusing. You can rest with me for a few days and take a good look at my town before you make a decision. ”

This kind of thing, Lu Xiao can't force the other party to agree. Only when the other party willingly accepts this matter can they take the lead.

This conversation was very short, Lu Xiao put down this sentence and left, leaving only Li Guangyin, who was alone there to ponder.

He now knew that if nothing else, he should not be able to die. But then came a thing. There is no doubt that there is another huge problem.

Li Guangyin didn't fully believe Lu Xiao's words. In fact, Li Guangyin feels that the other party is more likely to put a long line and hang a big fish. Maybe next time I brought more caravans, more goods. The other party directly revealed his true colors and served them in a pot?

But if he refused directly, Li Guangyin would not dare. Because he knew in his heart that if he refused, he might not even be able to get out of the town.

The only thing that puzzled him was that Lu Xiao seemed very sure that he would sincerely promise himself. I just don't know where this confidence comes from.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to the town to have a look as Lu Xiao said.

In the room, Lu Xiao and Ding An were discussing.

"How sure are you?"

"Ichisei ....... Nor did it! ”

"No, one percent?" Ding'an followed and was blinded. Because Lu Xiao has long given them a feeling of exhaustion. So this one is not in ten percent, which really shocked them.

"That's right, it's just that there is none. It's only been two months. It can't make much of a difference to the town. The only thing we can show him is the environment and order. But I'm not sure if he understands the importance of order. ”

………………

Lee Kwang Eun came to town early in the morning with his son. He didn't have a guard with him, and it seemed to him that he had brought it with him or not. What's more, the cowardice of those guards, he didn't get angry enough after seeing it.

It's not that special. It's no different from those border towns in the Western Regions.

No, it's a little different. Lee noticed a difference. That is, although the town is shabby, it is unusually clean.

It's just incredible. This kind of town in the Western Regions is generally described as dilapidated, desolate, and dirty. But it's different here, whether it's the street or the restaurants on both sides, it's unusually clean.

In addition to being shabby, the people here are also very well-behaved when they talk and behave. It is completely different from other border towns, one louder than the other, and the picture of using knives and guns at every turn.

The two of them casually sat down to have breakfast at a sheep soup shop.

The mutton soup is not very delicious, and the Hu cake is average. But again, these meals and utensils are very clean. It's so clean that only those big restaurants in the provincial capital can match.

You must know that Li Guangyin has been traveling back and forth to the Western Regions for many years. He dared to say that none of the restaurants and restaurants on this road could be so clean here.

Of course he didn't know that these restaurants and snack bars were able to do this, because Lu Xiao had people take a whip for a whole month to get the effect.

In ancient times, it was difficult for you to reason with these natives, especially those who did not know a single word but were stubborn and barbaric. Lu Xiao didn't have that much time to reason with them. So use the simplest way, whip it. It's not bad to have this effect.

Growing a clean environment is very good, which can undoubtedly increase appetite and make people feel a lot better.

Li Guangyin's heart began to be interested in this place.

After breakfast, Li Guangyin began to wander around the town. He first went to the surrounding shops to wander around.

I found that most of the shops here were sparse and single. It seems that what the city lord of Lu said is right, this place has indeed been injured by horse bandits, and the trade is very weak.

"Dad, what's so good about this place, the poor are dying, let's hurry up, right?"

The son chattered in his ear, making Li Guangyin almost slap him on the spot.

"If I can go, your father doesn't know how to go, right? Our two lives are still in the hands of others! You give me a few words and watch well. ”

Near noon, Li Guangyin walked to a cattle trading market. He noticed that there were hundreds of good horses, seventy or eighty camels, and many pigs, cows, sheep, and other livestock, waiting to be traded.

Li Guangyin was taken aback.

Such a large number of livestock does not seem to match the size of the town.

The steward of the cattle market was an old man. He looked very kind with a smile.

"Excuse me, what is the price of these animals?"

The manager of the livestock market thought for a while before he realized that he was asking how much the livestock was.

"Good horses, camels, camels, pigs, breeders, cows, donkeys, what do you want?"

"Camels, how much do camels cost."

Li Guangyin also understood that it was not appropriate to drag the text here, so he simply went straight to it.

"Camels, are you merchants?"

"It's the merchants who pass by. Two camels were injured and could not be used, so they came to replenish them. ”

"That's good to say that you can pick whatever you want, according to the size, the price of male and female varies. You are optimistic that the price can be negotiated. ”

Li Guangyin motioned for his son to go in and pick up camels. Then continue to talk to the steward.

"Brother's hand has such a huge livestock market, presumably the family business is very expensive."

"Alas! Don't talk nonsense, it's not mine. These cattle belonged to the lord of the city. ”

"But that Lu City Lord?"

"It's not Lu Ye. Who else can get so many livestock besides Lu Ye. Do you know how these animals came to be? ”

"Brother said?"

Li Guangyin originally wanted to learn about this Lu City Lord from outsiders. Seeing that the steward was so good, he hurriedly agreed.

The steward seems to be a chatterbox, and as soon as the conversation box is opened, he can't hold it back.

"Let me tell you, when it comes to Lu Ye's deeds, everyone in the whole town knows about it, and no one knows it. But if you want to say who knows best, it's me! Do you know what Lu Ye used to do? ”

"This, I really don't know!"

"Let me tell you, we used to have a horse bandit leader, nicknamed Flying Dragon, who kills people without blinking, and is ferocious! When Lu Ye was half a child, he was taken away by this flying dragon and became a slave! ”

"Slaves? The imperial court strictly forbids enslaving others! ”

"The Imperial Court? I'm bah, there is no court here, whoever has a knife in his hand is the uncle. Of course, now we only recognize Lu Ye! ”

"This ...... How did the Lu City Lord get out? ”

"Get out? Then you underestimate Lu Ye too much, let me tell you, Lu Ye ...... back then"

Just when Li Guangyin was fascinated by what he heard. In the cottage, Ding'an was reporting to Lu Xiao.

"Where's he?"

"It's over there at the cattle market. I'm having fun chatting with Old Man Wu! ”

"Old man Wu? Is that the one who used to tell stories in the teahouse? ”

"That's him."

"It seems to be working well, where is his next stop?"

"According to his current direction, it should be the iron city of the Lianfeng, or a small city composed of surrounding villagers."

"Well, find a few more eloquent preparations."

"Understood."
