Tianya grabbed the priest's chest with both hands, and then stood upside down on the priest's chest, and a stream of true qi slowly entered the priest's chest. Westerners like the priest don't know how to run their true qi at all, and Tianya deliberately guides his true qi to travel throughout the priest's body. As long as these true qi are forced to run in the priest's body for a few weeks, not to mention the current illness, the priest's body will be similar to that of a young man in a few years.

Zong Xin said: "The priest's body is relatively weak, and Tianya can only input slowly, so it seems that it will take a little time. Sister Xingyue, you go get a snow lotus to stew some meat for them to eat, it seems that this person has also suffered a lot. ”

The rest of the caravan was fine, but the priest and his bodyguards were doing very poorly. They ate nothing but dry bread and water, and had little else to eat. They exchanged almost all their money for goods, hoping to contribute more to the Lord. Two men were pulling four camel carts, all full of silk and spices, not even porcelain.

The reason is simple, porcelain is easy to break, and the loss of breaking a piece of porcelain is beyond their reach. So just buy silk and spices, which won't break. In fact, there is little silk, mainly spices, because that is what they need the most, and it is also the cheapest thing in the Central Plains. As for silk, it was a gift for the bishops, who wanted to make holy clothes from the silk of the Central Plains, which would make them shine.

Dugu Xingyue immediately went to prepare, and the snow lotus that was about to be dried and some fresh mutton were stewed together. The nutritional value of stews is always the highest, and it can ensure the maximum effective substance of food.

The bodyguards on the side just watched, although they didn't know the structure of their behavior, but they knew very well that they were trying to save the priest, because the priest's face gradually improved...... It's amazing, it's a miracle for this bodyguard.

If a seriously ill person does not give him bloodletting or medicine, why should he be cured with a straight face? Western medical skills are very poor, and the use of medicine is also very amateurish, and the main means of treatment is bloodletting. If bloodletting can't cure a person, it's almost all left to fend for himself.

For this bodyguard, if the priest dies, it is in response to God's call, if the priest survives, it is a gift from God, and nothing else.

After the lamb was stewed, the priest came to his senses. In fact, the priest did not recognize Zongxin at first sight, because in the eyes of Westerners, Easterners look very similar. However, there are some differences, as it is a very obvious mark on the forehead of Zongxin, a scar that looks like a comma, which is the only evidence that the priest recognizes Zongxin.

The priest's fatigue and pain during this time were completely gone, and he was full of energy and felt comfortable all over. After eating Dugu Xingyue's stew again...... The two of them were about to cry out with happiness, they hadn't eaten a decent meal for months, this stew was so delicious, and after eating, they also felt that their blood was swollen and their spirit was full.

"Thank you, thank you. It's been a long time since I've had a decent meal. The priest's tone was still strange, but it was good if he could understand it.

Zong Xin said: "Let's go." ”

At this time, almost all the merchants had left the gate of Xizhou and walked to the town outside the city. The priest and his bodyguards had fully recovered their strength and were pulling their own camel cart to chase the large army. The priest's physical condition is very good now, after Tianya's true qi runs in his body for a few weeks, the meridians of the whole body are unblocked, and the old problems of many years have completely disappeared, and Tianya's true qi is still in his body, these true qi have been running automatically, and it will take a long time to completely disappear, during this time, the priest will have more physical strength than usual.

The bodyguard has always been in good health, and after eating a good meal, he has fully recovered. And now he doesn't have to take care of the priest, he is more than half easier. This bodyguard doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, but his martial arts are very different from those of the Central Plains, so he doesn't understand what happened.

The group soon came to the small town outside Xizhou City, which was naturally far less prosperous than Xizhou City, but there was everything that should be there. It's just that there was only one inn in the town, which couldn't accommodate so many people, and even if they came here, they could only camp.

However, business can be carried out here, and surprisingly there is a lot of jade for sale here, and the merchants are very satisfied with it, Xizhou jade is also known as Kunlun jade, which was first produced in Kunlun Mountain, hence the name. The top Kunlun mutton fat jade, the color is white and soft, warm and delicate, which is a good material for making seals and even jade seals.

The Tang Dynasty valued white, and the emperor's dragon robe was white. Therefore, Kunlun jade was well received in the Tang Dynasty, and to this day, Kunlun jade is still the top jade, and the most valuable is the top white jade produced in Xizhou.

Zong Xin glanced at Bai Yu, and then said, "Bai Yu, how did your master choose your name?"

Bai Yu said embarrassedly: "I have a lot of people with the surname Bai, and there are many people with jade in their names, which is normal." When I get to Xizhou, I must buy the best piece of white jade, and you all don't grab it from me. ”

Originally, no one robbed her, her name was Bai Yu, of course the best Bai Yu was given to her, and no one would hide this selfishness. Anyway, Zong Xin has money, and there are several boxes of money from the black store, there is no place to spend money along the way, of course they have to take advantage of a big city like Xizhou to spend a good time, how can there be a reason not to give Bai Yu as long as he has one thing?

This town is called Hetian Town, and Hetian means mutton fat in Hui, which means that the mutton fat jade here is the best. This town is the origin of jade, and it is even cheaper to buy jade here than in Xizhou City.

In fact, there are dozens of small towns near Xizhou City, and Zong Xin just chose one at random, and he didn't expect to choose the most suitable place for this group of businessmen. There is no need to enter Xizhou City at all, if it is really not possible, it is okay to bring these silks back to the Central Plains, and there is no need to pay such a high tax in order to enter the city.

Within a few hours of entering the town, business was up and running, and the whole town was boiling.

The merchants of Xizhou City couldn't help but come to Hotan Town to sell jade and buy silk. In fact, these merchants had wanted to come for a long time, but the city gate officials watched and the soldiers guarding the city stared, just to squeeze more money from the merchants of the Central Plains, so it was clearly stipulated that they were not allowed to trade outside the city.

But now in the small town of Hotan, these merchants don't care so much, if the good goods are bought by others, it will be a waste of this opportunity to make a fortune. One by one, they rushed towards Hotan Town like hungry wolves, and even the soldiers defending the city couldn't stop them.

The situation immediately reversed, and the city guards of Xizhou had no way at all, unless they really robbed it openly, they could only watch this group of merchants leave Xizhou after the transaction was completed. They no longer need to go into the city to trade, so even the money to go to the city is saved, which is a good thing for these merchants.

In fact, the biggest purpose of the Silk Road is not to export, but to import. Whether it is silk or spices, porcelain or tea, there are too many in the Central Plains, and only a very small part is exported. These things are extremely precious and valuable in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, but the people of the Central Plains believe that these values are not enough to meet their needs, and their real purpose is only to import jade.

The value of jade in the Central Plains is much higher than that of gold, while the value of jade in the Western Regions is very low. Therefore, what the merchants of the Central Plains craved most was jade, and it didn't matter if the silk and porcelain on these carts could not be sold. Anyway, these things are still sold when they are moved back to the Central Plains, but they are much cheaper.

If you can sell it here, of course, it's a good thing. But if it can't be sold, it doesn't matter, because the loss is not in the Central Plains merchants, and the loss lies entirely in the countries of the Western Regions. Since the Uighurs were unkind, the merchants of the Central Plains were naturally unjust, and all they talked about from beginning to end was the jade business, and the silk and porcelain business were not mentioned at all.

Even Zongxin didn't expect such a situation, happiness came too suddenly. However, this group of merchants should be transferred back to the Central Plains from here, and the people who really want to go further west...... Except for Zongxin and his party, there was only the priest and his bodyguards.

Zongxin also saw the temper of the merchants of the Central Plains, as long as they did not transport silk and porcelain to the Western Regions, they would only suffer from the Uighurs. These merchants could have come to the Western Regions with only empty cars, buy jade from here, and then return to the Central Plains.

For the Uighurs, the price of jade was not high because it was the place of origin, and it could only be sold to merchants in the Central Plains, who were the only ones who appreciated it. If the merchants of the Central Plains did not come to buy the jade, they might not continue to mine.

The merchants of the Central Plains had shown the Uighurs how powerful they were, and just now they were begging the city guards to let them in. But now, the confidence of the Central Plains businessmen has come out all of a sudden, and there is no problem in talking about the jade business, how much money is given by Lao Tzu, and talking about other businesses...... Get lost.

Xizhou City is discussing how to make these Central Plains merchants compromise and make them willing to pay to enter the city. Unexpectedly, one bad news after another came, the merchants in Xizhou City were too temperamental, and the people of the Central Plains actually went to Hotan Town to buy jade directly, which was very bad news.

After being silent for a long time, Alimusa said: "What should I do now? There are only two ways to choose, either send troops to directly exterminate all the Central Plains merchants, no matter how much money or things they have in their hands, we will take all the orders." Either they have to find someone to discuss with their leader, whether to give money or go to war. Although it is said that the two countries do not kill the envoys when they clash, these people are not envoys, they are just businessmen, and they have not heard of the two countries fighting each other without killing businessmen. Not to mention...... The Uighurs did not fight with the Central Plains, and we could kill them as we pleased. ”

Many people present were hesitating, because this matter could not be explained. He alone can be shameless, but the whole nation cannot be shameless to this point for a little thing. The Uighurs traveled long distances to the Uighurs to do business, but the Uighurs killed them all in order to seize their goods......

No matter how shameless the regime is, it will completely cut off all Uighur diplomacy, and no one will come to the Uighurs to do business in the future. Although the silk, porcelain, and spices of the Central Plains were very longing, they should not have the reputation of killing merchants and taking goods for this little thing, and the surrounding countries would not only laugh at the Uighurs, but when the time came, they would only attack, and would never help, because the Uighurs were too shameless.
