Seeing these more than 20 carriages, Jingxiong Wanfu seized the mess quickly and quickly completed the transaction with the merchant group just now. Then, there were eager commanders of the guards to pull the carriage to a piece of open space not far away.

The goods were brought down by everyone, and the ten thousand men immediately ordered dozens of confidants and documents to start inspecting the goods one by one.

His eyes had long been attracted by the strong bow, and the result of the test shot made him immediately fascinated by the strong bow.

The statistics were soon released. While playing with a strong bow, the commander of ten thousand men said to Zhao Hu, "Mr. Zhao Hu, five refined machetes, five refined iron spears, ten sabers, two strong bows, one ordinary bow, five kilograms of refined salt, and another ten thousand-mile horses. How about it? Are you satisfied with this price?"

Dio, who was listening and calculating, immediately suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Sir, two thousand machetes can be replaced with four hundred, one thousand long spears can be replaced with two hundred, one thousand sabers can be replaced with one hundred, five hundred strong bows can be replaced with one thousand, one thousand ordinary bows can be replaced with one thousand, and eight thousand kilograms of refined salt can be replaced with one thousand, six hundred!

"Oh my God! There are 4,300 horses in total! There are ten horses with thousands of miles! You've earned it thoroughly!"

Zhao Hu and others were stunned, especially when they heard the price of five kilograms of salt for a horse, their heads were almost fainted.

No wonder the Empire had to implement salt concessions on the grassland. In the Empire, how much does a pound of fine salt cost? How much does a horse cost?

No wonder the crackdown on smuggling salt is so severe!

The commander who had already received the total number from his subordinates, saw Zhao Hu and others not saying anything, and looked at the strong bow in his hand that he couldn't let go, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry. I misjudged the quality of your group's strong bows. Each strong bow is four. At the same time, in order to express my apology, I also received another 10,000 kilograms of food. How about adding ten thousand-mile horses in total, a total of twenty thousand-mile horses?"

He looked at Zhao Hu nervously.

When Zhao Hu and others were stunned when they heard this, they quickly realized that although salt in this batch is the most expensive, it is the most important thing for the nomadic people to have a strong bow.

Just thinking about a normal bow can change to one horse. It is not surprising that a strong bow can change to four horses, and it is very likely that there will be fewer ones.

Deo came up and whispered: "Sir, we can now exchange 5,300 horses, and there are twenty thousand miles of horses and ten thousand kilograms of food and grass. Have you agreed to avoid the long night dreams?"

Geralt also came forward and said, "Sir, although he may increase the price, he still agreed to him like this. However, he had to take the opportunity to make the request of the groom and the veterinarian. There should be so many horses without anyone taking care of them."

Now the brigade has nearly two thousand horses, all taken care of by twenty-five logistics soldiers, and has long complained. With these more than five thousand horses, I am afraid that they will strike and rebel immediately.

Zhao Hu looked at the captain ten thousand men and smiled.

"The deal was completed, but our caravan had insufficient number of grooms, so many horses could not take care of them at all, and we also needed a veterinarian. If there was anything wrong with those horses, it would be a huge loss.

"I wonder if the ten thousand men can borrow a few grooms and veterinarians?"

The commander of Wanfu, who was originally made difficult to die by the words "deal" and "but", heard this request, couldn't help but say generously, "No problem, no need to borrow anything. I will pick you five veterinarians and one hundred grooms from my subordinates to give you, and they are guaranteed to be the best."

"Sir, this business is done. If you have the chance in the future, come here to do business again."

Deo looked excited, but he didn't expect that a weapon could be used to exchange for so many horses.

Zhao Hu frowned and asked, "I heard that there will be heavy snow in a few days. What do we need to prepare?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they had never seen the heavy snow on the grassland, just listening to the ten thousand men was enough to scare people.

After a walk around the trading area, I found out that a horse can be exchanged for one thousand kilograms of horse food, fifty horses can be used to pick a thousand horses, ten horses can be exchanged for a large carriage, one horse can be exchanged for five sets of horse harness, one horse can be exchanged for ten sets of sweaters, one horse can be exchanged for ten sheep, and one horse can be exchanged for five hundred wooden arrows.

Then he exchanged the newly transferred horse for twenty large carriages, 200,000 kilograms of horse grain, a thousand sets of horse harness, two thousand sets of sweaters, a thousand sheep, and a hundred thousand wooden arrows. At the same time, he also put horseshoes on the remaining horses.

For so many things, a total of 1,500 horses were spent, especially the 200,000 kilograms of horse grain. Although 400 horses were used to exchange for it, everyone thought it was worth it.

As soon as the snow comes, horses can only survive by relying on these horse grains, and the 200,000 kilograms of horse grain are enough for all the horses in the brigade to survive the winter.

As for the 100,000 wooden arrows, there are not many. According to Zhao Hu's team, each of them is only about one hundred. However, with the original inventory, the number of nearly two hundred is enough for a while.

If it weren't for almost all the private stocks in the trading area, Zhao Hu might have been willing to exchange them for one million pieces.

After saying goodbye to Commander Jingxiong Wanfu, Zhao Hu and others took 100 grooms and veterinarians, escorted forty carriages, a thousand fat sheep that were preparing to spend the winter for them, 200,000 kilograms of horse food, 10,000 kilograms of food, and more than 4,000 war horses riding, and left the gathering place in a mighty manner.

Zhao Hu did not go to the horse robbery market immediately because it was getting late, so it would be better to go to the horse robbery market at dawn.

Back at the carriage assembly site, everyone began to prepare supper. At this moment, Deo found Zhao Hu and suggested.

"Sir, have we sold branded horses in the horse thieves market? This will eliminate the accident of exposing our identity. Anyway, the black market is the place to trade stolen goods, and the horse thieves themselves are enemies of the Muqi, so they are not afraid of informing them."

Dio thinks the title of adult is better than that of the superior, and when he comes back, he also calls Zhao Hu the adult.

Zhao Hu also thought this method was good, but when he was about to agree, Geralt spoke out against it.

"This won't work! Sir! My subordinates thought that in order to completely eliminate traces, they would kill the branded war horse. This is the safest way!"

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned. Zhou Wen immediately said in disgust, "Cruel! Your mount is your companion for several years!"

Several cavalry captains also spoke up for Zhou Wen. Geralt's face turned cold and shouted loudly, "Shut up! Don't forget that horse thieves are also grassland people! Can you guarantee that they will not be enemies with the Empire? Can you guarantee that they will not attack us when they discover our Emperor's horse?

"Who are we? We are soldiers! The emperors who can sacrifice their lives for the sake of missions! And our current mission is to return to the country safely! What is blocking our mission is the enemy, and we should simply eliminate them neatly!

"Now our mounts, our cavalry companions, have hindered the completion of this mission, so we can only sacrifice them! In order not to unexpectedly expose our identity, we can only be cruel!"

Geralt's words immediately made everyone think. After a long time, a cavalry said, "I support Geralt."

With the words of this cavalry, more and more people agreed with Geralt's proposal. Only Zhou Wen kept pouting.

That night, waves of neighing at the end of their lives sounded, and the cavalry killed their mounts in tears.

Zhao Hu, who came out to patrol at night, unexpectedly saw Geralt hiding alone in a secluded place, touching the mount that had not been killed by him affectionately. Zhao Hu did not go forward, but stood there quietly, listening to the words of Geralt and the mount telling the past.

It was not until he saw Geralt touching his sword that Zhao Hu turned around and looked up at the starry sky.

After a while, a trembling sound came from his ears: "I'm sorry."

With a low hissing, Zhao Hu sighed and walked away gently.

The next day, Geralt proposed to make bacon with dead war horses. This time, Zhao Hu was the first to agree to this proposal. Later, the bacon was consumed by the servant soldiers, and no one of the imperial soldiers had ever eaten a bite.

This time, the entire team was dispatched, and bypassed the crystal flag gathering place, and along the river, they arrived at the location of the Horse Thief Market.

Before we got close to the camp, which covers a vast area and consists of about a hundred large herds and flags, bursts of noise had already come from it.

Apart from dozens of cavalry riding on horses and lazily holding a wine bag, there were six men wearing scribe costumes around the camp, who looked like a few wretched men, smiling and talking about something.

Seeing Zhao Hu's large group of people, the cavalry did not respond, and the five or six scribes jumped up like they had taken stimulants. After a few people gathered together, a scribe smugly sorted out their clothes, glanced at Zhao Hu and others, took a few steps forward, posed with a respectful expression, and saluted Zhao Hu.

"Welcome to all of you, I am the guide Weitang."

Deo, who knew the situation from Geralt, immediately asked, "I wonder how much does it cost to be for a guide?"

If there were no such guides, I would probably not be able to buy anything in this black market, so Wei Tang rubbed his hands.

"We guides all calculate the fee based on the transaction price, that is, you trade a hundred horses and just give them to the next one."

There is no tax on horse thieves in the black market, and these guide fees are equivalent to taxes. Deo, who understands this, immediately agreed.

At the order of Zhao Hu, more than 200 people had already selected, followed Zhao Hu away from the brigade. The convoy drove aside to rest, but Zhou Wen did not follow him as usual.

"So, I don't know what you guys need?"

Wei Tang turned over and rode a horse with a neat movement, took the reins and came to Zhao Hu easily.

"We have everything to play? We have everything here."
