Peerless Pirates

"I feel something is not right this time," the businessman surnamed Lu shook his head: "I can't tell what's going on, it's just a feeling. Maybe I'm unfounded, but I hope things go as you expect!"

"It's okay, I'm just worried." The businessman surnamed Sun picked up the wine glass, and after drinking it with the businessman surnamed Lu, his voice became louder: "I don't have to worry about it anymore, I can make some money now.

You'd be stupid not to take advantage of something cheap, hehe. By the way, I heard that you hooked up with a red corner from Jiangnan Lane in Licheng again, how about it? Didn't your old bones fall apart?"

"Damn it, you just broke up! I was still in my prime years, and the night before yesterday we were fighting and singing all the way until dawn." When it comes to this kind of thing, no man is willing to lag behind. Next, the topic of the two turned to

The romance was over, and there was no more business talk.

Song Zheng was surprised when he heard this. Da Qi and Da Jin had negotiated peace since the great war during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and had set up a forum for mutual transactions. However, due to the relationship between Qi and Jin over the years, the

It was not so harmonious, so the scale of the market was not large. Many items in the Qi Dynasty were prohibited from trading, such as grain, salt, horses, medicinal materials, and some books on "Gewu". Even the items that were allowed to be traded were subject to very heavy taxes.

, nearly twice the actual price. Because of this, border smuggling is very developed. Although Daqi has implemented cruel laws against smuggling, such as clan punishment and even sitting, etc., the profits are so high that it has been banned repeatedly. As far as Shandong Road is concerned, because

As the Yellow River gradually became wider and the water became more stable, many people and traders along the Yellow River often secretly traveled between Qi and Jin to transport goods across the river. After killing a group of people and being frightened by the severe punishment, some smuggling traders began to

Instead, he bribed the generals guarding the Shandong Road along the river and blatantly smuggled items.

Generally speaking, winter is the peak time for smuggling goods. At that time, the Yellow River is frozen, and travel is convenient. You can cross the river at any place. Ordinarily, it is not a good time for smuggling. However, in the conversation between Song Zheng, Sun and Lu, two traders

It sounds like smuggling has been extremely active recently. Of course, what shocked Song Zheng was not the scale of smuggling, but the sudden increase in the price of smuggled items. Song Zheng knew that the market was the most obvious indicator, and it was someone who suddenly ate a large amount of it.

How could goods cause someone to suddenly eat so many medicinal materials? Based on the previous news, Song Zheng could almost immediately conclude that Daikin was preparing for a southern invasion. The purpose of purchasing these medicinal materials was to treat possible wounded people.

As for raw silk, if the expectations are good, it should be due to the influence of the overall market that the price has been pushed up a bit, so the increase is not large.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It would be okay to do some smuggling and provide some welfare. But items like Baiyao can be said to be strategic materials. Giving the green light to smuggle these things is undoubtedly traitorous. Ordinarily, these border generals

They should know the stakes of the matter. Once the war breaks out, will they be able to get away with it? Why are they so short-sighted and reselling things in short supply to support the enemy?

Ming'er and Yang Tong didn't have such good ears, and they didn't have the energy for it, so they didn't hear the whispers of the two businessmen clearly. However, Yang Tong, who was sitting opposite Song Zheng, noticed that Song Zheng's face didn't look good, so he hurriedly asked

: "Little brother, what's wrong?"

Song Zheng shook his head and drank the wine in front of him.

When Song Zheng was feeling depressed, several dogs barked suddenly from the street outside, and then the crowd suddenly became chaotic. Someone shouted, "The horse is frightened! Get out of the way." followed by crying sounds.

, and the sound of chaotic objects falling to the ground. Song Zheng and the other three people hurriedly looked outside and saw a carriage running from east to west on the street. There were three horses in front of the carriage, and the leader was a chestnut horse galloping.

He ran wildly, and the harness on his body was messed up and got stuck between the legs of the chestnut horse. Affected by the chestnut horse, the two black horses behind it were also frightened and ran wildly, but they didn't jump around like the chestnut horse.

In the carriage behind the frightened horse, there were two women. Judging from their attire, they were a master and a servant. They were both beautiful and good-looking. Especially the young lady on the left, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and a straight nose.

, the almond-shaped eyes are wide open, and the long eyelashes can be seen clearly from a long distance. Although the young lady is dressed quietly, she does not show much panic when facing the frightened horse, while the person dressed as a maid has a somewhat expression on her face.

Pale. At this time, the master and the servant each had a rein and were working hard to control the direction of the carriage. Since it was lunch time, there were not many people on the street. With the control of the master and the servant, and the constant flow of people

The wild shouting attracted the attention of passers-by, but miraculously no pedestrians were hurt.

Behind the carriage, a scholar of seventeen or eighteen years old, a middle-aged scribe, and four strong men followed closely. As the carriage was swaying this way and that, pedestrians were dodging on both sides of the street.

The scholar never had the chance to run in front of the carriage. He could only shout helplessly, "Hurry, stop the carriage!" However, the horse was so impressive that no ordinary person would dare to stop it? We had to let it gallop forward.

It was too late, but it was soon. The carriage arrived at the downstairs of the "Twelve Orders of Confucius" in a blink of an eye. Song Zheng saw a few children about ten feet away from the west of the street. They were chasing them with brooms at noon.

There were more than a dozen dragonflies. Those dragonflies were flying up and down. The children were holding brooms and raising their heads, not paying any attention to the coming danger.

Song Zheng didn't dare to neglect. He saw exactly where the carriage was coming. He immediately pushed his left foot on the ground and jumped up. Then he touched the table with his right foot and jumped out of the window. In his right hand, he actually still had a pair of chopsticks for picking up vegetables.

Ming'er and Yang Tong exclaimed at the same time, stood up hurriedly, and looked outside. When Song Zheng was still more than ten feet high from the ground, the chestnut horse arrived just in time. Song Zheng tipped the horse's head,

He twisted his body in the air, adjusted it, and then rode directly on the horse.

The horse was kicked on the head by Song Zheng, and it immediately lowered its head. When it raised its head again, it felt that there was an extra person on its back, and it immediately went crazy. However, at this time, Song Zheng's left hand

He grabbed the horse's mane, leaned down, and moved forward more than a foot. His right hand was raised on the side of the horse's head, and the chopsticks he clenched were inserted quickly and horizontally. The pair of bamboo chopsticks were inserted deeply into the chestnut along the horse's ears.

Inside the horse's head. The sorrel horse received this heavy blow and took another six or seven steps forward. His head was directly on the ground and his neck was broken. The horse's body was twisted sideways, blocking the two black horses behind it.

Song Zheng, who was on the horse, held the horse's mane tightly with both hands. The moment it touched the ground, he rolled forward six or seven times and jumped up beside a child. Song Zheng hugged the child and walked towards the street.

After running for a few steps, I stood still. (The second update is a bit late, haha, but not too late)
