Seeing dozens of fierce Xia cavalry coming with swords, not only the merchants were frightened, but even the people guarding Sun Tu and Feng Ping were a little nervous. They were really going to have a conflict with the Xia nobles here. It all has to be folded here.
At this time, several businessmen had already winked at Huangfu Duan, asking him to quickly admit his mistake and keep the horse, so as to ensure everyone's safety. This is because it is difficult to say too much in public, otherwise these businessmen will have to persuade them directly for their own safety.
Huangfu Duan's face also changed several times. After finally weighing and recognizing the facts before him, he could only sigh and said: "Since the distinguished guest said so, we are indeed a little careless about this matter. This horse can also be considered Sold to you." Although he has changed his words, both his tone and expression are filled with deep reluctance and helplessness. After all, this horse could be sold for a sky-high price before, but now it has to be handed over to others at a bargain price. .
What made Huangfu Duan even more worried was that he would make almost no profit from Liao to Xia this time. Because most of the horses he had on hand were sold when he was in Nanjing, Liao Kingdom. This white horse was the purpose of his coming to Xia Kingdom. He originally wanted to sell it here for a sky-high price. However, compared to one's own life, money and other external possessions should be given up.
Seeing that he finally gave in, the young man from Xia State did not continue to be angry. He raised his hand to stop his subordinates from drawing swords and threatened him, and said with a smile: "This is considered a business, otherwise if the Liao people say the same thing as you, it won't matter. We won’t dare to do business with you again in the future.”
The businessmen all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the guards retreating with their swords drawn. At the same time, they were already planning to go their separate ways after returning and dividing the money. Anyway, Huangfu Duan was the only one who suffered this time, and everyone else made a lot of money. Then he had to find another way to buy green salt, a specialty of the Xia Kingdom, and bring it to the Liao Kingdom to make another profit.
But just when everyone thought the matter was about to come to an end, a person suddenly stepped out and said loudly: "Wait a minute!" This made the young man who was about to turn around and leave pause for a moment, and the other guards also turned around cautiously, swords all over. He took out a piece of it from the sheath and stared at the person who spoke. As for those businessmen, they wished they could just pull Sun Tu to the back and block his mouth when he said this. The matter has already been solved. What do you mean by jumping out and creating new affairs
"This guest, you must be fair when doing business. What's the difference between your approach and that of the robber?" Sun Tu ignored the anxious and angry eyes of others, and just looked at the young man and talked: "Actually, your Excellency should have noticed that this horse is extraordinary, so you thought of paying a lot of money to buy it. The so-called buying of all the horses here was just incidental. In this case, you only have to pay this little money It would be unreasonable to just want to buy this BMW and all the other horses.”
Sun Tu had been silent before, just observing the other person's facial expressions, and discovered that the eyes of him and the people around him had actually been on the white BMW early in the morning, so in the final analysis, buying other horses was just a cover, and his The purpose is still this horse.
This person said that Huangfu Duan and the others were not honest enough in their business, but in fact, wasn't he the same? Others either didn't see it or didn't dare to point it out, but since Sun Tu had become friends with Huangfu Duan, they would never see him suffer such a big loss without speaking out to help him.
possible. At this time, his eyes were still staring at the young man who had turned around, and he grinned and said: "Your Excellency is much more valuable than us, so it's not a good idea to use this method, right? If you take all these horses back by force, Once the matter is spread, I am afraid it will also affect the trade between Liao and Xia, so please think twice."
"Bold!" Seeing Sun Tu's rude words, the guard on the side immediately became angry. While scolding him, he finally pulled out his knife, as if he wanted to attack him. But at this time, the young man waved his hand to ask him to step back, and then his face changed, from the anger just now to laughing: "Okay! I didn't expect that I could meet someone like you in this Wulahai City. Bold and careful man, are you... a Han from the Liao Kingdom? What is your name?"
Sun Tulu glanced at the other party in surprise. The man did not show any embarrassment at all, but still replied: "I, Sun Qianli, are indeed Han. I don't mean to embarrass you. It's really about my loyalty. I can't let Brother Huangfu To suffer such a big loss without saying a word."
Huangfuduan was greatly moved by these words. He pursed his lips and didn't know what to say. As for the other businessmen, they felt a little guilty. Their previous actions were indeed a bit unloyal.
The young man nodded, and did not doubt whether what Sun Tu said was true. After all, no one would have thought that there would be a Song person or a Song general taking the risk to sneak into the Xia Kingdom, and from the Liao Kingdom, with Liao merchants. Sneaking into the Xia Kingdom together, this is almost unimaginable. He just looked at Sun Tu thoughtfully: "Then what do you think? Do you plan to keep this horse?"
"Of course I know that I can't do this, but since you want this horse, you have to give my friend some reward, right? We just settled the account clearly. One hundred and twenty-seven horses were priced at three thousand Eight hundred guan, this horse is very powerful, it is worth one or two thousand guan, right?" Sun Tu quickly made his request.
Huangfu Duan would naturally have no objection. Although Sun Tu had previously said in Youzhou that he wanted to buy this horse for five thousand guan, it was just a word after all. Everyone knew that this horse was not worth so much. Even one or two thousand guan is far more than the value of this horse. As long as the other party is willing to pay more than 500 guan, he will be satisfied.
Unexpectedly, the young man nodded and responded without any hesitation: "Okay, the price is easy to talk about. But..." Having said this, he turned back and looked at the followers behind him: "I only brought the bag of gold this time. La Hai, I have just bought all the horses, so I can only ask you to come with me to Shunjun City to get the money. How about that?" When he asked this question, he was not looking at Huangfu Duan but at Sun Tu, but he was a bit inviting. He wanted to go with him.
After hearing him mention the place name of Shunjun City, several businessmen, including Huangfu Duan, were moved. They had vaguely guessed the true identity of this man. He was now guarding the east of Xia Kingdom, holding Dongfang Near. The cronies of Xi Feng Ye Chang, who had a hundred thousand troops, were even his nephews. Because this important minister of Xixia is now stationed in Shunjun City, three hundred miles away!
This Xifeng family is one of the eight oldest surnames of the Dangxiang clan. Before the establishment of the Xia Kingdom in the early 1990s, it consisted of the Xifeng family, the Feiting family, the Quangli family, the Pochao family, the Yeci family, and the Fangdang family. The Dangxiang clan, led by eight major tribes, including the Mi Qin clan, and the Tuoba clan, enabled the entire nation to survive hundreds of years of internal and external troubles. Finally, it was in the hands of Li Yuanhao that the Xixia Kingdom was established that could stand side by side with the Liao and Song Dynasties.
And Li Yuanhao is actually a descendant of the Tuoba family among the eight surnames. In terms of noble status, the Xifeng family is actually not under the current Xia royal family. It's just that hundreds of years have passed, and the original eight surnames of the party have long since withered and disappeared. Only a few people are still holding important positions in the country, and this Xifeng Yechang is the one with the highest status and the most ability among them. .
When a group of businessmen suddenly got involved with such a powerful and important minister of the Xia Kingdom, and it was a financial dispute, these people were naturally uneasy. Even Huangfu Duan was hesitant at this time, wondering whether he should accept the invitation. After all, what would happen if something happened to Shunjun City
But while he was still hesitating, Sun Tu expressed his position first: "It's best to do this naturally. When do you plan to set off?"
"Of course I can leave here at any time. I just took a look and found that there are no treasures worthy of my attention in this Wulahai City. Only this horse is worthy of my attention. Why don't we go back to Shunjun City now?" The young man smiled and said.
Seeing that Sun Tu actually accepted the invitation, the faces of the merchants changed again and again. After a while, someone finally said: "I... I won't go until I have other things to do."
"Yes, yes, we have already completed the business with our guests. We just need to settle the accounts with Brother Huangfu. As for Shunjun City, we will not go to Shunjun City."
The young man didn't take these people's shirk to heart, and although Huangfu Duan also struggled, since Sun Tu nodded and the matter was caused by him, he naturally couldn't refuse and could only acquiesce.
As a result, a rare efficiency split took place in front of everyone. There was not even a few arguments. The other businessmen had already clearly calculated the profits they should receive, and then divided the two hundred coins among Huangfu. This is not only what he should have received when selling his ordinary horses, but also the income he earned from taking care of the horses along the way. After careful calculation, he still got a lot of advantage.
But the others no longer cared about such details. They just wanted to draw a clear line with Huangfu Duan and the others as soon as possible. Once the money was divided, they packed up and left the place as if fleeing. Only Feng Ping and the others hesitated a little, looking at Sun Tu and the others worriedly. It wasn't until they saw Sun Tu nodding at them to leave that they followed the footsteps of the merchants. After all, brothers Feng Ping and Ping were hired, their responsibilities were still there, and the money they had negotiated before had not yet been paid.
After finishing all this work, Sun Tucai and Huangfu Duan, who was still a little stunned, followed the young man out of the market. After getting their luggage back at the inn, they went straight out of the city and ran to the southwest.
During this period, Huangfu Duan took the opportunity when the two were alone to ask: "Brother Sun, are you really going to follow him to Shunjun City? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out if you go there?"
"I don't think this person would do such a thing. Besides, if he really wanted to deal with us, he could have done it in the forecourt before, so why bother?" Sun Tu replied with a smile, while also adding in his mind. After saying a few words, isn't this the purpose of coming to Xixia
Anyway, I finally set foot on the road to Shunjun City, and truly stepped into the complicated officialdom of Xixia.
