553. Chapter 553 Commercial Wave Twelve
The night was dark, the north wind was blowing, and the sky was clear and clear during the day, but it became so bad at night.
The dust in the sky seemed to have found a sloping exit, roaring with the shrill sound of a sandstorm, and swirled desperately into the mouth of the canyon. However, it seemed that God had given this kind of canyon for merchants to settle down. It seems that there is a natural resistance to all kinds of canyons.
Immunity to natural disasters. The seemingly turbulent wind rolls into the mouth of the canyon, then passes through the winding tunnels and reaches the canyon. It no longer has the power to stir up the sand and dust, and can only add a little bit of coolness to the life inside the canyon.
At the mouth of the canyon, under the sunlight during the day, the Buddhist pagoda that was still somewhat solemn was now almost like a crumbling building, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.
At this time, inside the pagoda, under the lights, the devout Loulan soldiers knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and prayed sincerely. They put their hands together and murmured to themselves, praying that the sandstorm would leave as soon as possible.
Loulan Kingdom is a Buddhist country. From the monarch to the people, they are all loyal believers in Buddhism. Even the military buildings guarding the canyon are replaced by Buddhist pagodas and arrow towers... The soldiers use this form to pray for sandstorms.
The departure is also a very normal phenomenon.
However, just like the dark clouds covering the sun and the turbulent sand outside the canyon, there is a sharp contrast inside the canyon where it is calm... Although the businessmen living inside can feel the movement outside the canyon, they remain calm and hold up lanterns.
, took to the streets one by one, spontaneously held a
At the trade fair that can be seen everywhere, they exchange goods that they think are worth the money, trying to exchange for more money in Liangzhou or further away in Chang'an. They are not at all worried about the whirlwind that is just around the corner.
The disaster was alarming, and it seemed that the sand and dust invasion could not come in.
Businessmen do not believe in any religion, only gold and silver treasures! This is the iron law of businessmen! Even if sand and dust roll in, they still do what they should do.
As the head of the Government-Business Association and a businessman who has gone through many trials and tribulations, Rabbit was no exception crowded among the merchants. Like the merchants in the crowd, his eyes were shining as he stared at the items on display, picking and choosing.
Fourth, bargain.
This is a feature in the canyon, and perhaps it is also related to the desert horse bandits. Every three nights, horse bandits come from all directions and put their earnings on the street stalls for everyone to enjoy! On this night,
It is also one of the few pleasures in the canyon. For businessmen, even if they have a beautiful woman in their arms and wine on their lips, they should put aside all their affairs and come to the stalls to pick out the items that their unlucky colleagues planted in the hands of horse bandits.
Horse banditry is a high-risk and high-income profession in the Western Regions!
The caravans that can walk in the desert are all wealthy merchants from various countries in the Western Regions, or they are the private caravans of various princes and nobles. The horse bandits dare to take chestnuts from their hands and sell the loot openly.
It can be seen that their risks are high and their income is high.
The horse bandits who have been able to hang out in the desert for many years are not only good at martial arts, but also have perfected their worldly feelings in the melting pot of society.
Look at the bronze-faced horse bandits, waving their arms happily, shouting and shouting with passionate and seductive words, encouraging the surrounding businessmen to buy their trophies... and the businessmen who came up also
There was no grudge against the other party because he was a horse bandit. They were hysterically holding up the treasures found among the stolen goods, shouting, crying, and jumping with excitement...
What a bunch of lunatics! When this scene was reflected in his eyes, Rabbit had a strange feeling, as if he had come to a medieval pirate den that he had seen in a book... There was a sense of chaos in time and space.
"Master Rabbit, can you feel the charm of the horse bandits? In the Western Region, the horse bandits are a beautiful scenery. We can bring vitality to this land! We will definitely not bring any threat to Liangzhou!
"We haven't seen each other for many days. Langxiao, who once made a name for himself while galloping in the desert,
Like a pug, he followed the rabbit's butt, not daring to go any further. However, being restrained, the horse bandit's cunning did not change at all. When he discovered that the rabbit was unusually interested in the gathering,
He immediately stepped forward to defend their sacred profession of horse bandits.
"Really?" There was an expression of understanding on Rabbit's face, and then he bent down and squatted down, holding a crystal clear jade horse, smiling at the fierce seller in front of him and asked: "Dare I ask, brother?"
, how much does this jade horse cost?”
When selling goods, look at the person first! The horse bandit seller squinted, looking at the elegant and white rabbit under the dim light, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth: "Why, Lord Rabbit is also interested in buying it from the Han Empire.
Good stuff? This is a treasure! It’s priceless! Can you afford it?”
Another fat businessman squeezed in next to him, shaking his big fat head, drooling at the corner of his mouth, and snatched the jade horse from the rabbit's hand, laughing loudly: "What a good product! Haha! This is
But these are rare items made by the skilled craftsmen of the Han Empire for the princes and nobles! When I see them today, it is indeed better to meet them than to be famous!"
How could the dignified official and business association chief bear such grievance? Before Rabbit could give orders, two tall guards were ready to rush forward. However, this was the land of the Western Region, and a strong dragon would not want to suppress the local snake. Fatty
The businessman was followed by more than a dozen thugs, who had already surrounded a group of rabbits with no more than four or five people.
"What? You still want to run wild in our territory of Loulan Kingdom? Master Rabbit?" The fat man sniffed, with a look of contempt in his eyes, and twisted his mouth with a smile: "How dare you do so with two bodyguards? Do you know who grandpa is?
?When the Lord of Loulan meets my grandpa, he has to call me uncle! Damn it, if you act wild again, I will destroy you!"
The crowded small trade fair is full of this kind of forced buying and selling that relies on the strong to bully the weak! This is a zone without any royal laws. As long as you follow the iron rules of not killing people in the canyon, ordinary Loulan soldiers will never do it.
To intervene in such a small dispute... As for the other people, they are all busy with their own business and have no time to pay attention to this little episode in this corner.
As for the vicious horse bandit seller, he didn't even care about such trivial matters. As long as the goods could be sold at a high price, he didn't care who was right or wrong. He even added a sarcastic remark: "With her delicate appearance, this is a strong man in the desert."
Men’s preferences! Mr. Rabbit, cover your **** and hide in the hole! Otherwise...haha..."
Well, I just want to experience this kind of stolen goods market. I didn’t bring a few people here, but how could I meet this legendary bully? Rabbit has no feeling for ridicule. As a qualified businessman, this kind of
You must be able to withstand cynicism... At this time, Rabbit could actually hold back a smile. Feng Qiyun looked at the arrogant and bottomless horse bandit seller and the fat-faced businessman!
In the face of strength, all irony is just a passing thought! In this canyon, the one hundred caravan guards in the hands of Rabbit are all elites who have been selected from among the veterans, and these two tall and powerful ones
Guards, they can only deal with this ragtag group of thugs.
I mean, this group of hawking horse bandits is not something to be trifled with, but that's not a problem. It is one of Rabbit's responsibilities to eliminate the horse bandits. He smiled on the surface, but in his heart he had murderous intentions, and his men were ready to kill him.
At this moment, the newly subdued follower Langxiao burst out...
Unable to stand the rabbit's calmness, the wolf laughed out loud, his white teeth shining like jade in the firelight, "Take care of the bald man! Do you still recognize me?"
The familiar nickname made the fat businessman stare at the visitor with wide eyes. The familiar sinister smile and the poisonous eyes instantly extinguished all the fat businessman's thoughts of showing off, "Kick! Kick!
!" He retreated involuntarily, making the ferocious horse bandit look at him.
His eyes were dumbfounded. The fat man had just kept saying that he had a background. Why did a young man come out and scare him like this? Could he be a big shot? In this case, the horse bandit man also quickly put away his arrogance and said:
"Brother, if you have something to say, please tell me!"
"Tell me well? You dare to mess with my adults, and you dare to use this word to fool me?" The Twenty Tornado Riders who broke out from Langxiao are also real. Not only are they famous for their ferocity, but their eyesight is also famous far and near.
, the horse bandit in front of me is just a low-class person.
It's just a thing, how can he put it in his eyes? You have to know that behind him is Liangzhou! It's enough to level Liangzhou of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions! The sense of superiority in his heart has created his current momentum, approaching step by step, making the Liangzhou just now
The horse bandit and the fat businessman, who were still in high spirits, were a little at a loss.
"Ahem!" Rabbit still had important things to do here and didn't want to cause trouble. Seeing that Wolf Laughter had the upper hand, he coughed twice to stop Wolf Laughter's move and prepared to leave.
The astonishingly imposing Wolf laughed without a word of retort. He just walked back behind Rabbit and stood with his hands tied, looking like a servant. This deeply shocked the fat businessman known as Li Baldy.
"Dear guest! I forgot to take your jade horse." Others don't know how powerful Langxiao is, but how could the fat man who once fell into Langxiao's hands not know it? Not to mention the little guard in his hand, even the guards in their camp have added
Even standing up, I can't defeat them, the Tornado Twenty Cavalry! Not to mention the big shot who even calls Langxiao "Sir",
It's not like he can afford to offend him! When traveling in the world, eyesight is the most important! The fat man didn't hesitate, he quickly laughed and handed the crystal clear jade horse back with a naive smile. His completely harmless eyes were very innocent.
, If he hadn’t experienced what just happened, Rabbit would really have thought that this was a kind person!
The horse bandit didn't neglect him either. He quickly dug out the sack behind him and took out an identical jade horse. He also flattered him with both hands: "Sir, this is paired with that jade horse. Good things come in pairs!"
It’s all perfect! This is a small gesture!”
This was an unexpected gain. Rabbit glanced at the seemingly harmless wolf smile behind him. It seemed that this horse thief was not only courageous and wise, but also had a certain reputation in the Western Regions. When he was used to do things, it seemed that he was not using the wrong person! Western Regions
