Chapter 199 Robbery
ps: Please give me a monthly ticket, please recommend!
Xie Guanglong did not lie, the horses in Guanshi were indeed cheap. Just like the iron in the border county that Liang Xiao and others dare not imagine, the horses in Guanshi were also so cheap that they could not imagine.
Liang Xiao bought a few horses in Chang'an, and the prices were mostly around seven or eight thousand. Here they refer to horses riding and pulling carts. The war horses are usually around ten thousand, and good war horses are at least ten thousand. Even a pack horse that can only be used to carry things costs four or five thousand.
But in Guanshi, you can buy a good war horse for four or five thousand yuan, which is only one-third of the price in the mainland.
No wonder the tariffs are so heavy, and there are still people who travel thousands of miles to sell horses, which are profitable. Liang Xiao and others buy horses here. When they return to the mainland, they can earn at least four or five thousand yuan per horse, and more can earn nearly ten thousand yuan, which is equivalent to a year's salary.
This time, Liang Xiao didn't need to mobilize, and basically all the officials paid out of their own pockets, each of whom bought one or two horses. There were thirty or forty people. According to later generations, this was a group purchase, which attracted the Hu people who sold horses and horses who introduced the business. Hundreds of horses and dozens of people surrounded Liang Xiao and others, and sold their horses in a verbal way.
"So enthusiastic?" Liang Xiao sighed deeply.
"This is not quite enthusiastic." Xie Guanglong said proudly: "It is not the peak season now, and the ** month is the most fattest time for horses. Now those who come to sell horses are facing difficulties. If they really can't stand it, they have to sell them in advance. Although it is only one or two months away, the price is quite different."
"Why, they can't stand it and won't rob it?"
"There is a price to rob." Xie Guanglong raised his eyebrows. "I, Han people, are not easy to bully. Three or five Huns cannot take advantage of them. What we are afraid of is the kind of people who come in dozens or hundreds. The people cannot deal with them themselves. The officers and soldiers do not have time to rescue them. They often suffer losses..."
Xie Guanglong said, suddenly stopped, his eyes stared into the distance, and murmured, "Good horse, good horse."
Liang Xiao was stunned and followed Xie Guanglong's gaze and saw a boy riding a white horse watching the fun outside the crowd. The white horse was tall and more than a foot taller than an ordinary horse, with snow-white all over, and not even a single hair. The boy on the horse's back was dressed very ordinary, but his face was rare white, not as dark as ordinary Huns.
Liang Xiao was alert and saw a few strong men scattered around the boy. Although these strong men were dressed similarly to ordinary Han people, their neck-legged legs could not be concealed. They were obviously men who lived on horseback all year round. They were holding horses in their hands, and there was no saddle on horseback, which looked similar to those who sold horses.
These people were originally not conspicuous among the crowd. But now, with the big customers who come to group buying, most of the horse sellers gathered over. But they stood indifferent, and it was inevitable that they were a little abrupt.
Liang Xiao reached out and grabbed Xie Guanglong. "Brother Xie, these people are a bit strange."
"I know." Xie Guanglong smiled. "It's probably another nobleman from the Huns. However, since they pretended to be horse merchants, I would not blame him for robbing his horse. After receiving such a great gift from the Lord, I can't repay him, so I should treat this horse as a gift."
Before Liang Xiao could speak, Xie Guanglong whistled and rushed towards the white horse boy with a few knights.
Liang Xiao didn't speak, and he was just about to take this opportunity to see Xie Guanglong's skills. He had already seen the skills immediately, and he also had to see other skills. He could be in danger in the future when he was out of trouble. As a guide, Xie Guanglong would be difficult to be competent if he could not adapt to the situation.
As if he felt Liang Xiao's gaze, the young man on the white horse raised his head and looked at Liang Xiao with a look of surprise. Obviously, he was also attracted by the green detective under Liang Xiao's crotch. Looking at the entire Guanshi, this green detective is comparable to the white protector under his crotch.
Xie Guanglong brought four or five knights to the boy. The two of them said a few words. The boy shook his head, as if he was not selling his horse. Xie Guanglong immediately changed his face and shouted sternly: "Take it!"
The knights rushed up, some flapping their bows and some drew their swords, surrounding the young man in the middle, full of murderous intent.
The boy frowned, stretched out his hand and waved it, signaling the strong men with chewing legs who were about to come to rescue the siege. He lowered his head, thought for a while, took out a waist card from his arms, and shook it in front of Xie Guanglong.
Xie Guanglong, who was originally arrogant, took the waist card and looked at it. He immediately became timid, smiled and returned the waist card with both hands. He bowed his hand and then pushed the horse back. The white horse boy glanced at him, but didn't care, and casually pushed the horse to the side.
Xie Guanglong returned to Liang Xiao with a smug smile. "It turns out to be a good horse, a good rouge horse."
Liang Xiao was stunned. It was obviously a white horse, but how could it become a rouge horse?
"That's a woman. I know when I smell her. I don't know which Hun King's family member is." Xie Guanglong thought for a moment, and then said, "The closest ones are Loufan and Aries. Haven't you heard that Loufan has such a beautiful daughter, who is the daughter of the Aries?"
Xie Guanglong's official words were not standard enough. At this moment, a man muttered and said all the local words. Liang Xiao couldn't understand a single sentence, so he could only look at him in confusion. Xie Guanglong smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed to official words.
"Don't worry, sir, I will deliver it to the lord with my horse in less than half a day."
"Teacher and horse?"
"Yes, that's a female, she looks really good, especially her skin is white and like goat's milk. You can tell at a glance..." Xie Guanglong said, his face revealing an evil smell, and his hands were still making touching gestures.
Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he was the beginning of human beings and his true nature was already rude enough. Compared with the rough men in the county here, they were all gentlemen, at least they wouldn't be as explicit as this guy.
"Are you going to rob?"
"Of course." Xie Guanglong did not hide his plans. "I have sent my brothers to follow me, just waiting to find a secluded place and make them."
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
"What's the trouble?" Xie Guanglong rolled his eyes and said, "As the Huns, they have to come or not. As for Lord Feng, how did he know what? Will Lord tell him?"
Liang Xiao shook his head. He would not be so pedantic about such things that he talked about etiquette, morality and morality. However, he was quite afraid of those strong men. Those people pretended to be horse-selling people, and there was no saddle on the horse's back. It was very likely that they were masters riding naked horses. If that young girl was really a noble person, it would be normal to have a few masters around to protect her.
"These people around him are extraordinary. Can your brother deal with it?"
Xie Guanglong said confidently: "No problem. My brothers all crawled out of the pile of corpses."
Liang Xiao was not very relieved. In his opinion, either he would not do it or do it clean. If one or two people escaped, this would be a big deal.
"I want to go and see, is that OK?"
"Of course." Xie Guanglong agreed in a while and agreed.
Liang Xiao found Mei Gao and said to him. Although Mei Gao hesitated, he didn't say much, but just took care of Liang Xiao carefully. Liang Xiao responded and ordered Li Shuyun to take people to protect Mei Gao, and he took Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo, followed Xie Guanglong and continued all the way.
The young man seemed to be very enthusiastic about traveling around Guan City. Sometimes he even got off the horse and said a few words to the merchants who set up street stalls, buying a few small things, and then leaving Guan City until it was almost dark, and heading northwest.
Liang Xiao discovered the problem. As soon as these Huns left Guanshi, their speed immediately accelerated, as if they were running away. They obviously felt the danger. They were just walking around Guanshi, seemingly leisurely, but in fact they were waiting for an opportunity.
Xie Guanglong also discovered the problem. He spitted and cursed, and took off his spear while riding his horse forward. Liang Xiao did not dare to be negligent. While driving the horse forward, he took out two armors from his bag, put them on his body, tied his belt tightly, and then put on his helmet.
The Huns are good at shooting, but he doesn't want to be shot to death by the Huns. When he met a master for the first time against the Huns, he was a little excited and a little nervous.
Seeing this, Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo did not dare to neglect and immediately put on their armor. The two separated, Pang Shuo ran in front of Liang Xiao's left, and Tu Niuer followed Liang Xiao's right and kept a distance of two steps, which did not affect Liang Xiao's archery, but also protected Liang Xiao from being rushed to Liang Xiao.
Pang Shuo's martial arts are not as good as Niu'er's superb skills, but he is not defeated by his strength. His arms are stretched longer than Liang Xiao. In order to give full play to his advantages, Liang Xiao customized an eight-foot-long iron rod with an eyebrow that is cut in the middle, and a single-knife with a thick back hidden. Pull out the iron knife and connect it to the handle, which is a long-handled straight knife with a total length of 100,000 feet.
This knife cost nearly five thousand yuan, nearly ten times the average long sword. After it was made, Pang Shuo only tried to kill a sheep, but never used it in real fighting. This time, he had the opportunity to use a living person to test the power of this customized weapon. Pang Shuo was a little excited and screamed.
Xie Guanglong was envious when he saw Pang Shuo turning an iron rod into a long-handled knife. However, at this time he didn't care about it and said that the Huns in front were running faster and faster, and they were a little unable to keep up. The mounts on both sides were obviously not on the same level. If you compare carefully, only Liang Xiao's Qingchao ran easier.
"It's okay, there is my brother in front of you." Xie Guanglong gritted his teeth and was embarrassed in front of Liang Xiao, and he was very upset.
"How many people are there?"
"There should be two people."
Liang Xiao glanced at it and shouted: "Niu'er, come with me. There are too many Huns. If you don't block them, the brothers in front of you will not be able to stop them."
Tu Niuer responded, kicked the war horse hard, and rushed out with Liang Xiao. Although his mount was not considered a high-quality war horse, it was not much slower than Qing Cong. The two of them were running wildly at full speed and quickly approached the Huns.
