Chapter 435: Horse Buying Turmoil

Tomb City is not very large, and the walls made of rock and earth are less than ten people high. And it seems that there is no maintenance all year round, there are gaps everywhere, and the ability to defend is extremely poor.

The city's buildings are a haphazard mess of brick and stone high-rises, mostly muddy adobe houses and tents, the air is filled with dust and the smell of cattle and sheep, and the ground is littered with filthy livestock manure.

However, this small border city is quite lively and prosperous, merchants from the north and south gather here, from time to time there are caravans and carriages in and out, the center of the city is simply a large bazaar, selling all kinds of ores, weapons, grain, porcelain, tea, livestock, slaves and other goods, bargaining and noisy sounds one after another, making people feel dizzy to listen.

At this point, Qin Yun and the caravan were about to part ways, because after the caravan had finished supplying and selling here, it was going south to the southwestern countries, while the Blue Sea Lake that Qin Yun was going to was in the northwest.

In order to thank the caravan for his help along the way, Qin Yun gave Steward Chen a hundred pieces of the best fire gathering talisman he had refined, and the latter resolutely did not want to pay for the journey, but he did not refuse Qin Yun's intention.

After bidding farewell to Steward Chen, Qin Yun came to the big bazaar in the city.

The rest of the journey was to be carried out alone, trekking through the reckless savannah, and it would never be pleasant to travel without horses, so he was ready to buy a horse here.

There are a lot of merchants selling cattle, sheep and horses in the bazaar, and Qin Yun doesn't know much about horses, so he can't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, so he asked the horse owner bluntly: "How much do your best horses here sell?"

The owner of the horse is a young man with a top body, dark skin, a strong chest and a burly figure, which is the characteristic of a steppe nomad man, but his thick eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge are much more handsome than ordinary herdsmen.

Listening to Qin Yun's question, the grassland man glanced at Qin Yun with a smile: "The best horse?

Several of his companions next to him burst into laughter, and a strong man like an iron tower said loudly: "Yanren, how much money do you have? I can sell you a good horse, look at this one..."

He patted a jujube red horse on his side vigorously: "This mare is just three years old, with a docile temperament and a fast run, as long as you have one hundred taels of silver!"

Yan people are the common name of the Yanyun people of the indigenous people of the West Sea, which itself does not have a derogatory connotation, but it is obviously contemptuous from the mouth of the strong man, and most importantly, it can be seen that this mare is very ordinary in Qin Yun's eyes.

Xihai Prefecture is rich in good horses, so there are often merchants who come to the prairie to sell horses, and the price of horses here is naturally not very high, and a hundred taels of silver is undoubtedly deliberately slaughtering people.

Under normal circumstances, the price of an adult horse is around twenty or thirty taels, and only a high-quality horse with a very pure bloodline can be sold for a few hundred taels, and a real war horse is also a priceless treasure.

Being treated as a fat sheep naked, Qin Yun's temper was a little angry, and he said coldly: "One hundred taels of silver? It's not worth the price to scrape off all the meat on your body and sell it, you might as well keep it for yourself!"

The people around were stunned when they heard this, including the young man, laughed, and the tower man was furious, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and clenched his big fists, and shouted menacingly: "Boy, do you want to die?"

Qin Yun sneered, suddenly took a step forward, and the leather boot on his right foot fell to the ground silently.

Click!

The stone slabs laid on the ground suddenly fell apart, especially where the leather boots fell, and turned into powder!

The tower man's breath suddenly suffocated, and the muscles on his body suddenly tensed.

His companions stopped laughing at the same time, staring at Qin Yun with fierce eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

And the young man who was originally sitting on the wooden bench stood up, he stopped in front of Qin Yun intentionally or unintentionally, his black eyes revealed a fierce light, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency is still a master, my brother has no intention of offending, I will make amends to you on his behalf!"

said that he was talking about making amends, but there was no weakness in his tone, but a hint of arrogance.

Qin Yun retracted his right leg, stared at the other party and said lightly: "Don't make amends, I'm just here to buy a horse." ”

The young man looked at Qin Yun and suddenly smiled: "It's good to buy a horse, sixth brother, bring that green shadow over"

A man answered, and then pulled a tall horse out of the stable behind him.

The horse's hair was shiny and dark blue, and there was not a single stray hair on his body, and his eyes were large and well-proportioned, and the muscles hidden under the fur were protruding, and it could be seen that he was a really good horse.

The young man patted the horse's neck lightly and said, "What do you think of this green shadow?"

"It's a good horse!" Qin Yun nodded and asked, "How much?"

The young man stretched out a slap at him, and Qin Yun's expression moved: "Five hundred taels of silver?"

The young man smiled contemptuously: "How can five hundred taels of silver buy my Qingying, five pieces of spirit jade!"

He thought that this price was enough to stump Qin Yun, and it was not popular to use spiritual jade as a means of payment on the grassland, usually gold and silver, and silver tickets could not be used, it was more of a barter.

Therefore, the merchants who come here to trade are full of goods with caravans, in order to facilitate the transaction.

But what he never expected was that Qin Yun didn't hesitate to reach into his arms and took out five pieces of white spirit jade on the spot: "Deal!"

He didn't know that Qin Yun didn't have much gold and silver on his body, but there was no shortage of spirit jade, not to mention ordinary white spirit jade, even if it was a top-grade fire spirit jade and a top-grade white spirit jade, there were a lot of them.

The young man took the spirit jade suspiciously, his eyes and experience were not bad, and he could see at a glance that all the spirit jade was genuine without any water, and his face suddenly became ugly, as if he was remorseful.

Qin Yun looked at him and smiled, "What's the matter?"

The young man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but his words were still very hard: "Who said that I want to regret it, our grassland men are the most important, the sixth, give him the horse!"

The man leading the horse looked at the young man, and he was very unwilling to hand over the reins in his hand to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun nodded at the other party and led the horse away.

The young man watched his figure disappear into the bustling crowd, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed a sly light, and he threw the spirit jade in his hand away

The big man of the iron tower standing next to him smiled and said: "This kid is really rich, he can get five pieces of spirit jade, but in front of you, the boss, he is still too tender!"

The young man stretched and chuckled: "Qingying is also worth this price, but see if he has the luck to keep it, the sixth one, you go to all the patrons, and sell the rest of the horses at a low price, we almost should go!"

The sixth said yes, turned around and left quickly.

The young man reached out and pulled out a stalk from the hay pile next to the stable, bit it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, as if he had thought of something, and his dark eyes became more and more unfathomable.

And Qin Yun didn't know that he had been calculated, so he led the horse around the market for half a circle, matched the horse with a saddle, rope whip, and bag, and prepared it before leaving Sunset City.

This horse named Qingying is really good, Qin Yun just urged it slightly, and it immediately rushed forward like an arrow from the string, leaving Twilight City far behind in the blink of an eye, and the divine horse was no less than Qin Yun's original black horse.

What is rare is that in the process of galloping, Qin Yun didn't feel much bumps, he galloped on the reckless prairie against the whistling wind, and his heart was extremely happy!

Riding the horse for more than ten miles, Qin Yun put away the reins and slowed down the horse, he still has to drive a long, long distance, if he keeps running like this, no matter how much the war horse of the divine horse will have to run away and die.

The sound of horses' hooves in front of him sounded, and a team of seven or eight knights appeared in Qin Yun's sight.

They were wearing leather armor and carrying longbows, and they all looked quite fierce with swords and knives, and they hurriedly passed by Qin Yun, rolling up dust and smoke all the way.

Qin Yun didn't care, looking at the other party's outfit should be a warrior from the grassland tribe, similar people abound in Twilight City, how many there are.

But when he didn't expect it, this group of people had just passed, and suddenly they scattered and separated, and they turned around and surrounded him, and they all pulled out their weapons!

Qin Yun was stunned, stopped his horse and asked in a deep voice, "What is this?"

A scarface knight who stopped in front of him shouted: "Good thief! I was almost blinded by you, you are not small, you dare to steal the war horse of our Gray Eagle Tribe, and you will not kneel down for me quickly!"

As soon as his words fell, the two knights on the left and right sides immediately drew their longbows, and the arrows glowing with the cold light were aimed at Qin Yun, and they would shoot out deadly feather arrows at any time!

Although Qin Yun was not afraid, he also felt that something was wrong in his heart, shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I just came here from Yanyun, and it's the first time I've heard the name of the Gray Eagle Tribe, so how could I steal your war horse?"

Scarface Knight sneered: "Don't quibble, you are riding our princess's favorite Shenjun Qingying now, it is useless for you to quibble, give you one last chance to surrender!"

Qin Yun frowned and said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, this horse was just purchased by me in the Twilight City, if you don't believe it, we can go back to the city together to confront each other." ”

When he encountered such a thing just after coming to Xihai, Qin Yun vaguely understood that he might have fallen for the young man, and he spent a lot of money to buy the stolen goods, so he patiently explained to the other party.

But the Scarface Knight didn't believe Qin Yun's words at all, and reprimanded: "Do you want to slip away from the city again? Don't dream, get off my horse and kneel on the ground immediately, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what about it?" Qin Yun's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Do you want to do it with me?"
