There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The border town is called Bamu Town. Although it is the mutual market place between Xiliao and Xiliang, it does not occupy a large area. This is mainly because it belongs to the area where the two do not care, and there are often fierce fights.

People who don't have a lot of power don't dare to come here to trade. Ordinary people will be robbed in all likelihood if they come, and those who are unlucky may lose their lives.

The local residents here are also pitiful, but most of the people who stay here have some courage and means.

When Xiao Yeyang came to buy a horse this time, he found a middle-aged person in the town to match him.

The town was still quite lively, Xiao Yeyang walked down the street with the rice flowers in his hand, carefully looking at everything in the town.

On the street, the people of Xiliao are more active and active than the people of Daxia. It can also be seen from the side that in this town, the people of Xiliao are more powerful. How weak is the defense of the commander.

In Daxia's territory, the people of Xiliao can come and go freely, and they have to suppress the people here. Is it not the incompetence of the government?

"It's kind of like a wholesale market here."

Dao Lace said to Xiao Yeyang while observing the vendors passing by on the street.

"Wholesale." Xiao Yeyang chewed on these two words, and then smiled: "What you said is also appropriate."

Daohua continued: "If the government came forward to manage it, it would definitely be more standardized and lively here."

Xiao Yeyang agreed with what Daohua said: "But there must be a premise, that is, the army on the side of Xiliang must be strong enough that the people of Xiliao dare not attack, and we must abide by the rules we have formulated."

Daohua smiled and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Didn't you come, I believe there will be such a day."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, with determination to win in his eyes, since he came to Xiliang, he had to make some achievements.

The trade on the main street was fairly normal. When Xiao Yeyang led Daohua into the back street, there were many illegal transactions.

Looking at the woman who was locked in the cage to buy and sell, Daohua subconsciously frowned.

These women are from Xiliao and Daxia.

Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua quickly through the street, and after a while, he came to a courtyard that looked pretty good.

After Defu went up and knocked on the door, a middle-aged strong man came out soon after.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, the strong man Ma Teng immediately raised a smile and saluted: "Master Xiao is here, please sit in the room."

Xiao Yeyang: "No need, Boss Ma, I don't have much time. I want to see horses now. The horse dealers are here, right?"

Ma Teng can't do anything about it. This is a big customer in front of him. As long as he facilitates today's transaction, he can get a lot of commissions: "Here, here, it's been a while, I'll take you there?"

Xiao Yeyang said "um": "Let's lead the way ahead."

Since Xiao Yeyang wanted more horses, the horse dealers did not enter the town, but waited outside the town.

Everyone was about to turn around and leave, but Daohua suddenly said: "Boss, I look at your yard as if there are two black and white cows?"

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: "Madam has good eyesight, there are indeed two cows, which were left by a caravan from Xiliao to consign me here, but unfortunately, because the asking price is too high, no one has bought them up to now. "

Daohua: "Can we go in and have a look?"

Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang, saw that he had no objection, and immediately invited a few people into the yard.

Looking at the two black and white cows in the yard that were obviously taller and larger than ordinary cows, Xiao Yeyang asked, "Is there any other cows of this breed in Xiliao?"

Ma Teng smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't from Xiliao, it was exchanged by merchants from Xiliao and other countries in the Western Regions. Maybe he ate too much and didn't want to raise it, so he left it with me."

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua circling around the two cows, and asked with a smile, "Want to buy it?"

Daohua nodded quickly, the black and white cow, this is the dairy cow breed with the highest milk production.

Xiao Yeyang immediately looked at Ma Teng: "We want these two cows."

Ma Teng grinned suddenly: "These two cows happen to be one male and one female. Master Xiao and his wife will definitely not lose money if they buy them back."

Thank goodness, these two cows were finally bought. You know, after the cows were put here, he spent a lot of money to buy pasture, and he was naturally very happy when someone bought them.

Meilan Meiju stepped forward to untie the rope, and pulled one end out of the yard.

Xiao Yeyang felt Daohua's joy, and said with a smile, "It's just two cows, do you need to be so happy?"

Daohua: "You don't understand."

Under the leadership of Ma Teng, Xiao Yeyang and his party walked out of the border town for about two kilometers and came to a small horse farm.

"This horse farm was originally left by our ancestors. Unfortunately, the situation has been unstable these years. People from Xiliao always come to grab things, so I shut them down."

"Master Xiao wants a lot of horses, so I asked the horse dealer to drive the horses to my horse farm."

While talking, Ma Teng led Xiao Yeyang and his party into the racecourse.

Not long after, I saw a group of people from Xiliao gathered in the distance.

"You'll wait for me on the side of the carriage."

Daohua glanced at the Xiliao people in the distance and nodded.

Immediately, Xiao Yeyang took Defu and Bugan as a few and walked towards the people of Xiliao.

"Brother Yelu, this is Mr. Xiao who wants to buy a horse." Ma Teng introduced Xiao Yeyang to the horse dealer in Xiliao with a smile.

Yelu Baichi squinted at Xiao Yeyang: "Have you brought the money? I don't want any money."

Xiao Yeyang didn't care about Yelu Baichi's attitude: "Boss Ma said before that you can buy it with gold. There is too much silver and it is inconvenient to take it. I brought gold."

Yelu Baichi: "Jinzi. It's okay, I want to see it."

Xiao Yeyang turned his head to look in the direction of the carriage, and soon, eight secret guards dressed as ordinary people got on the stage from the carriage and got down from four wooden boxes.

When the dark guard arrived, Xiao Yeyang directly asked Defu to open the box.

Looking at the golden bars, Yelu Baichi nodded with satisfaction and gave Ma Teng a smile: "The buyer you found is good, and you can continue to cooperate next time."

Xiao Yeyang motioned Defu to close the box and looked at Yelu Baichi: "Now it's time for me to look at the horse."

Yelu Baichi said with a smile, "It's natural." Then, he put the whistle on his neck into his mouth, and with a whistle, hundreds of horses immediately ran in the racecourse.

After Xiao Yeyang saw it, he really frowned: "Isn't the number wrong, I want 2,000 horses, you obviously only have a few hundred."

Yelu Baichi smiled: "The eyesight is good, there are only five hundred horses, but you should be satisfied. I can tell you that the Western Liao royal family has strictly controlled the sale of horses in the past two years. I can provide five Hundreds of horses, that's because my relationship is strong enough, otherwise, you can't even buy five hundred horses."

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang's face was slightly darkened, Ma Teng hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Yelu, didn't we agree on 2,000 good horses? See if we can be there."

Yelu Baichi interrupted Ma Teng impatiently: "I said that there are only five hundred horses, so I don't understand people's words, right?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Defu, and Defu immediately signaled the dark guard to carry three boxes away.

Yelu Baichi saw it and hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at him blankly: "The gold I brought was to buy 2,000 good horses. You only brought 500 horses now. Naturally, I want to get the extra gold back."

Yelu Baichi's face was cold: "I've never heard that the things you take out can be taken back. If you want to buy these five hundred horses today, you have to leave all the boxes for me."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Yelu Baichi: "You want to rob me?"

Yelu Baichi sneered: "Don't say it so ugly, I'm a businessman."

Xiao Yeyang: "I have to take the horse and the extra gold."

As soon as these words came out, the Xiliao people behind Yelu Baichi immediately surrounded them, and they all drew out their sabers.

Yelu Baichi has been doing business in Bianzhen for many years. Although he is used to being arrogant and domineering, he still looks at people. When he sees that everyone pulls out their knives, the other party doesn't respond much. He immediately knows that buyers are not easy to mess with.

In the silence, Yelu Baichi suddenly swept across Daohua and Meilan Meiju standing in front of the carriage. Daohua couldn't see his face with the curtain on, but Meilan Meiju could see clearly.

Yelu Baichi especially loves the beauty of Daxia, especially when she thinks of the fair and soft snow-skinned daughter of Daxia that the eldest prince married, his heart is itchy.

Seeing that Meilan and Meiju were all looking good, Yelu Baichi couldn't help but draw Daohua's attention.

The maids are so beautiful, the master must be stunning, right?

Xiao Yeyang noticed Yelu Baichi's eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but Yelu Baichi did nothing, and said desperately, "You can buy these five hundred horses, and give that woman to her. I."

As soon as these words came out, the heart of Defu next to him couldn't help shaking, and looked at Yelu Baichi with the eyes of a dead man.

This guy really lived up to the name his parents gave him, he really is an idiot!

Beside the carriage, Daohua saw the Xiliao man pointing at him, and she was puzzled when she saw Xiao Yeyang turning around and walking towards her.

"Get in the car, go!"

As soon as Xiao Yeyang arrived in front of the carriage, he helped Daohua to get into the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang's slightly ugly face: "What's wrong, I didn't buy a horse, and the price was not negotiated?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "No, the horses were bought, but the number was less." After saying that, he knocked on the door, and soon, the carriage started.

Daohua didn't ask any more questions. When the carriage turned and drove out of the racecourse, she saw through the curtain of the carriage that the dark guard brought by Xiao Yeyang moved towards the Xiliao people.

After half an hour, Defu brought the dark guards together with Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang got off the carriage: "Is it cleaned up?"

Defu stepped forward and replied, "Master, don't worry, there are no traces left."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ma Teng with a pale face: "Boss Ma"

Witnessing Defu and his party slaughter Yelu Baichi and the others, Ma Teng looked a little stiff, but everything else was fine.

Obviously, a middle-aged man like him who does business in a border town has long been accustomed to robbery and murder.

However, after seeing the extraordinary skills of Defu and others, Ma Teng began to guess Xiao Yeyang's identity: "What's your order, Master Xiao?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Take what happened today as if it never happened."

Ma Teng nodded quickly: "Master Xiao, don't worry, I know about this."

Xiao Yeyang: "I'm short of horses here. If you meet a horse dealer in Xiliao again, let me know." After speaking, he looked at Defu.

Defu immediately took out two gold bars and handed them to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng did not refuse. Taking money to do things is what they should do. He took the gold bar with a smile: "Thank you, Master Xiao, for the meal."

Xiao Yeyang nodded and turned around to get on the carriage.

Just then, an old woman came over with a basket: "Master Ma?"

Ma Teng looked for fame, saw someone he knew, and immediately walked over: "Mr. Feng, why are you here?"

The old woman lifted the basket in her hand: "My son went to Yunlian Mountain again last month and found a lot of Cordyceps. Don't I just want to bring it over and let you help you sell it?"

Ma Teng looked at the basket covered with grass and mentioned it in his hand: "Okay, I understand, you go back first, and let your son come to me in two days."

The old woman nodded, and just as she was about to leave, Daohua suddenly opened the curtain of the car: "I heard you are talking about Cordyceps, can you show it to me?"

Ma Teng glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that he had no objection, he immediately trotted over with the basket, and did not dare to lean into the carriage, but handed the basket to Defu.

"This Cordyceps is a kind of herbal medicine that grows in alpine regions and snow-capped mountains. It is good for the body if you eat it often."

Defu handed the basket to the car window.

Daohua flipped through it, and there was a surprise in her eyes: "It's really Cordyceps sinensis." After speaking, she looked at the old woman, "Old man, how do you sell this herb?"

The old woman was a little embarrassed and looked at Ma Teng for help.

Ma Teng smiled and said, "Madam, we usually sell this cordyceps for a tael of silver per pound."

Daohua: "I want this basket of Cordyceps."

Hearing this, without waiting for Daohua's orders, De Fu took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman took the silver and thanked him repeatedly, and handed the smallest piece to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng smiled and refused: "Mr. Feng, I didn't sell it for you this time, so I won't charge you. Go back quickly, it's getting late."

The old woman looked happy, bent a few times in the direction of a carriage, then turned and left.

Seeing the old woman's neat legs and feet, Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows and said, "This old woman's body is not bad."

Daohua: "Eating Cordyceps often is good for your health."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ma Teng: "A lot of people are looking for you to help sell things?"

Ma Teng nodded with a smile: "They are all nearby villagers, people from Xiliao in Bamu Town often come and go, and they don't dare to come and buy things alone. I have some way to go, so I'll help everyone. Buy something, charge an intermediate fee, and eat."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng: "You have always lived in Bamu Town. You should know a lot about things here, right?"

Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang, turned a few corners in his heart, and then smiled confidently: "There is nothing about Bamu Town that I don't know about Ma Teng."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng again, then turned around and got into the carriage.

Looking at the carriage going away, Ma Teng lowered his eyes and pondered: "This Lord Xiao seems to have a very complicated background."

As a middle-aged man, in order to avoid trouble, he actually didn't want to inquire about the background of the buyer and the seller, but today this Lord Xiao gave him too much pressure. All his subordinates were wiped out, this is definitely not an ordinary businessman.

He had to find a way to find out who this Lord Xiao was.

On the other side, Xiao Yeyang brought Daohua, Bu Gandang and others together.

Xiao Yeyang looked at the 500 horses surrounding the dark guards: "How about it, are the horses still obedient?"

Bu Gandang took out the whistle: "With this whistle, the horses didn't run around."

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "That's good, you all work hard, send the horses to the newly built Ganxuan Town overnight, and after I go back, I will start training soldiers to shoot."

Bu Gandang took orders and left.

In the carriage, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang frowning and asked, "But there aren't enough horses?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Ganzhou Weiyuan's 1,000 or so horses, and today's 500 horses, add up to only 1,500 horses. Usually it's enough for a little trouble, but you have to be quick. It's really impossible to take back the Dan River."

"I went to the Dan River to take a look. There are 20,000 troops stationed in Xiliao. If you want to fight quickly, you must train at least 5,000 cavalry."

"Once the time has dragged on for a long time, the Xiliao army will come to support, and if you are not careful, it may lead to a full-scale war."

"Uncle Royal's attention is now on the navy. On the northwest side, he definitely doesn't want to be in chaos. The national treasury cannot afford to fight on both sides."

Daohua thought for a while: "Have you noticed that there seems to be a special shortage of tea in Xiliao, I just paid close attention to the business in Bamu Town, and found that someone actually exchanged a cow for a pot of tea."

Xiao Yeyang: "Xiliao lives on nomadic herds and eats almost all hot, greasy, and indigestible foods such as beef, mutton and milk. You need to drink tea regularly to improve your physical condition. Tea is actually a kind of food in Xiliao. A good medicine for healing."

Daohua: "Since they are so short of tea, you can exchange tea with them."

Xiao Yeyang pondered: "This method works, but from the words of the Xiliao people just now, Xiliao has strictly controlled the sale of horses in the past two years, and wants to buy horses in large quantities. An acquaintance may not be able to."
