Dress up and fight!

Chapter 18 Want to be the sister of Mrs. Gao Ming (16)

On the official road outside the border city, a horse team was marching in the direction of King Yi's court.The horse team was headed by two riding guards, followed by an ordinary wide carriage, but if you look closely, you can see that the carriage of this carriage is made of ebony.

Following the carriage were dozens of large wooden boxes escorted by dozens of guards.From the steady steps and steady breathing of these servants and guards, it can be seen that this group is a trained trainee.

The breeze blew through the curtains of the carriage, vaguely revealing the figures of the two people inside the carriage.

It turned out to be one old and one young.The old man is about 4 or 50 years old, and he already has a beard. The young man is wearing a dark blue robe with a purple border. Although he is angry and sometimes laughs, he looks at him with anger and is affectionate, giving people a sense of cynicism.People can not help but admire, such a beautiful man.

At this time, the man was reclining in the carriage as if he was boneless, chatting with the old man.

"Senior, we are quite prepared this time, there shouldn't be a problem with the Yi people!" The young man asked the old man.

"Second Master, I have already contacted the subordinates of King Yi Su Rile and Ke. We brought [-] catties of grain seeds and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes this time. I don't know how many horses we can exchange!" The old man reported the current situation to the man in front of him.

"It is said that the barbarians are generous and do not spend their time, but this is not the case. Every year we use grain and silver to exchange stallions with this group of barbarians, which can be said to have given them a lot of sweetness. But what they gave us The horses are all sick horses. In previous years, more than half of the horses would have died before they were brought back to the city. Even if the rest did not die, they would not be able to achieve the expected effect. The corner of Erye's youth's mouth was slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile.

"Hey!" The old man took a breath of cold air, the second master was about to stop laughing, the old man's heart couldn't take it anymore.Usually I would be stunned when I saw this perfect handsome face, but now the second master smiled, his heart stopped for a while, and the second master's lethality was really getting bigger and bigger.

"How about next year, let's try the uncooked grain seeds instead?" The old man calmed down and spoke again.

In his heart, he secretly slandered: The behavior of the barbarians is naturally disgusting, but the Lord in front of him is not a person of integrity.

The Yi people are good at raising horses, and the Han people are good at farming and handicrafts.

Both sides have what the other party wants, so trade exchanges have become a matter of course, but in fact, neither side wants to make the other party stronger.

Since the first year that the two sides established the trading relationship, the second master has ordered all the grains used for the trade to be scalded with boiling water.

And he planned to wait until King Yi sent someone to question why the rice didn't sprout, and then inform them that their way of growing grain was wrong.

The result happened to coincide with what King Yi did, and King Yi exchanged all of his tribe's problematic horses for them.

Therefore, a large number of horses died directly before they were sent to the border town.And the rest of the horses cannot be used as breeding foals at all for various unspeakable reasons.

When the second master sent someone to question the king's court, the king of Yi also euphemistically claimed that the way the Jin people raised horses was wrong.

So under the tacit understanding of both parties, such a transaction actually persisted for nearly 5 years.

In the past five years, both sides have been counting on the other to find out in conscience.

Even if you can't use all high-quality trading products, but there are mixed good and bad, and even a little bit of fish slips through the net, it will be a good start.

But it turns out that this idea is just a good wish.

In fact, on the premise that neither side wants to suffer losses, this calculated transaction has always been in a lose-lose situation.

"Give them unboiled grain? Then let them learn to grow grain, expand their race after they have enough food and clothing, and finally invade Dajin?" The second master snorted coldly.

"But the transaction we are doing now has no value and meaning!" The old man was a little depressed. He took risks every year to trade, but every year he returned with disappointment.

Every year I bring a large army to change horses, and I occasionally encounter robbers in the middle. Although there are no casualties, it also means that the people and money are exhausted. I really don't know what the second master is obsessed with.

It's not that the second master is not aware of the current situation, but he actually has his own considerations for going to exchange horses with the barbarians every year.

The Yi people were good at animal husbandry, and no matter how the horses of the Jin Dynasty were bred, they were not as strong as the Yi people’s horses.But the barbarians are cunning, and most of the ones that can be placed near the border city are processed and have no ability to reproduce at all.

Every year I go deep into the royal court of the other party, and I also have people who are good at raising horses around me. During this period, I have no intention of wanting to observe how they herd, but so far I have not found any clues.

"One day there will be something to gain. I heard that Daiqin's side is very quiet recently!" The second master closed the fox's eyes in despair.

"The old man has also heard that it seems that a group of elite soldiers under Daiqin's men broke down when they invaded the village, and there is no movement after that!" The old man also got the information from 4 days ago.

"Oh, doesn't it mean that Daiqin's soldiers and horses are the most elite among the barbarians? They are actually broken in the village. Which village is so capable? This is a bit interesting!" The second master opened his eyes again, and there was nothing at all. Cover up your curiosity.

"I heard that it was made by a passing hero." The elder told the second master according to the most reliable version he had heard.

"Oh! You can follow up. If you are from your own country, you can consider taking it for your own use." The second master thought for a while, and said to the old man leisurely.

After seeing the old man nodding, he closed his eyes again, leaving the old man to continue to stare at the second master's face in a daze.

Without a word, the carriage continued to move forward.

And Jin Qing, who didn't know that he had been missed by others, was completely broken at this time.

Jin Qing's pot is gone.

After the fried vegetables were contaminated last time, Jin Qing didn't come to clean them up quickly, but the burnt leaves stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Jin Qing wanted to deduct the vegetable leaves with his hands, but with so much effort, the pot was leaked.

Angered, Jin Qing kneaded the iron pot into iron balls. Now she has no food to eat, and she is living a life of barbecue again.

With a sigh, Jin Qing took the huge horse legs nearly one meter long that had already been baked on the grill, and let's eat, otherwise it would be too painful to be hungry!
The roasted horse legs are hard and woody, and the meat is sour and not delicious, but now this is the only thing I can eat here.

Shi not knowing the taste, picked up the horse meat and took a bite, when Jin Qing stretched his neck and swallowed.Suddenly I heard a roar: "God damn it, do you know what you're eating?"
