Husband has a sweetheart

When Zhang Yuqing appeared in the teahouse again, the three barbarians were already waiting there.

It's a quick learner!Zhang Yuqing smiled lightly in her heart.

"I've seen Madam!" The young man in the lead was tall and imitating the etiquette of the Daxia people, and bowed his hands.

Zhang Yuqing returned the salute, and politely invited the person to sit down.

"Madam wants to buy a horse?" asked the young lad.

Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "I think my shopkeeper has already told you very clearly. I only want good horses, how many good horses can you sell me?"

"Horses are not a problem, but we also have something we want." The Hu man said seriously.

Zhang Yuqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

"Madam sells things." Hu said bluntly, "I want to sell your salt to the grasslands. I will be in charge of selling it, and you will give me a commission."

Salt and iron are vital things for the Hu people, and they are also the things they lack the most.But the Hu people know in their hearts that salt can be discussed, but iron can't be discussed at all.

The new Dusi and his wife would rather dig the iron mine down than leave a piece of iron slag to the barbarians.Otherwise, in the coming year, the Hu people will hold the sword made of Daxia's iron to plunder the Daxia people.

Zhang Yuqing didn't say if it was okay, but asked, "How much do you want?"

"Fifty percent." Hu said.

Zhang Yuqing laughed out loud, sitting there slim and graceful like a beautiful painting, her red lips parted slightly, "Twenty percent."

The Hu man narrowed his eyes, and just about to speak, Zhang Yuqing said again: "[-]%."

The two bearded men behind him slapped the table and said angrily: "You Daxia people are not sincere!"

Toiled to the death and exhausted, with only [-]% of the profits on his head and waistband, that is simply a white job for Zhang Yuqing!
"If you don't do it, most people want to do business with me. You are a foreigner, why do you gain my trust? It is not so easy to earn money from me..." Zhang Yuqing leaned forward slightly, calmly Looking at the leading young Hu man, "Prince Acha."

The three barbarians were startled, stood up suddenly, and subconsciously drew the knife from their waist, only to realize that the knife had been searched by Du Jingyi long before entering the teahouse.

Zhang Yuqing smiled and looked at the three terrified barbarians, her dark eyes gleaming with confidence.

"How do you know?" Ah Cha calmed down and asked.

Zhang Yuqing took out a bunch of gem-studded gold medals from her sleeve pocket. They were old and seemed to have been handed down for many years. There was a pattern engraved on the gold medals, which looked like a totem in the tribe.

She waved the gold medal in front of Ah Cha.

The three of them were even more shocked. Ah Cha subconsciously touched his chest, but when he found nothing, a pair of blue eyes stared at Zhang Yuqing like a vigilant leopard.

Zhang Yuqing put the gold medal on the table and pushed it in Acha's direction.

"This is something from your tribe, and now it is returned to the original owner." Zhang Yuqing said.

Ah Cha immediately picked up the gold medal and hid it in his arms.

Zhang Yuqing took a sip of tea calmly.

Liu Quan monitored them for a day, but found that the three internal communications were all in nonsense, babbling like listening to heavenly scriptures. When he was depressed, he noticed that the young man in the lead would put his body next to him before going to bed. A gold medal hidden under the pillow.

So Liu Quan took advantage of the three of them falling asleep, took the sheep by the hand, and stole the gold medal.

Du Jingyi asked someone to look at it overnight, and it was identified as a symbol of the leader of a tribe of Hu people. To them, it was as important as the jade seal passed down by Da Xia Zi.

The identities of the three are no longer a secret.

Liu Quan sent back the gold medal again.

When the three of them went out in the morning, there was only a slight collision, and the gold medal was returned to Liu Quan and presented to Zhang Yuqing.

"Mrs. Lu, I have long admired you." The young man said, "My surname is Nasebo, and my name is Chataiwokehan."

Zhang Yuqing sighed, who can remember such a long name, let her here, his name is Acha.

"I am the young master of the Nasebo tribe." Acha said with a gloomy expression, "My father is the king of the tribe, but he didn't survive this winter."

Zhang Yuqing said seriously: "So you are the leader of your tribe now."

Acha nodded slowly.

Zhang Yuqing asked: "As far as I know, the emperor of your Hu people forbids the tribes below to communicate with Daxia privately, especially doing business. It is expressly prohibited."

The Hu people are not the same as Daxia. The Hu people are nomads, living in the grasslands, being poor is really poor, and a big place is really big.It is not a truly unified country, but composed of dozens of nomadic tribes, which is somewhat similar to the federal government of later generations.Each tribe has a high degree of autonomy and has its own king, but they are uniformly subject to the management of the Hu people's royal court.

Who is the king of the barbarians?The answer is simple and logical. The king of the largest and strongest tribe is the emperor of the Hu people, occupying the royal court of the Hu people.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes.

Although the orders from the royal court resounded throughout the grasslands, there were always tribes that did not buy it.

For example, this Acha in front of me.

Speaking of the barbarian king's court, Ah Cha's eyes were stained with anger, and he said bluntly: "Our Sebo produces warriors and horses, and every time we fight, the royal court wants our Sebo warriors to rush to the front, and the horses are taken away by them. , All the benefits have been gained by them! This winter has been bitterly cold, most of the livestock died of freezing, and thousands of people died. Only old women, girls and children are left in the clan. If we continue to fight against them, all the men in our Sebo will die! "

On the grassland, the weak prey on the strong, and when all the men in the tribe die, the tribe will only have the fate of being occupied and swallowed by other powerful tribes.

"Oh?" Zhang Yuqing said casually, "Big Xia pays millions of taels of silver to you every year, and there are also countless tea, silk and porcelain! It stands to reason that the life of you grassland people will not be so sad. ?”

Acha clenched his fists, "The emperor's tribe got all the benefits! Our Sebo clan was once one of the most powerful tribes on the grassland, but now they have been repeatedly suppressed and weakened by the royal court. As the young master, I must not This is how it goes!"

Zhang Yuqing lowered her eyes, but Ah Cha's words were consistent with the news Du Jingyi inquired about. The nobles in the capital city of the Royal Court lived a life of luxury that ordinary people could not imagine, while most of the grassland people were still poor and precarious. .

Acha said again: "I am willing to do business with you, but I just want to make life better for the hungry and cold clansmen. Madam, the [-]% you just said is really too little. I can't support my clansman."

"I can't sympathize with what happened to your ministry." Zhang Yuqing said indifferently, "Prince Acha, you may not know that both my parents died at the hands of barbarians."

Acha's blue eyes widened, and she looked at Zhang Yuqing in shock.

"13 years ago, when Lu'erwei fell, the barbarians drove straight in and killed the Great Xia capital. My parents died in that disaster." Zhang Yuqing said coldly.

Acha said anxiously: "Ma'am, our Sebo clan did not participate in this massacre back then! When the emperor asked us to follow him to attack the Luerwei in the royal court, my father felt that the guards of the Luerwei were very strong back then. Even if he was sent by the emperor to lead the battle, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties, out of love for his clansmen, he refused to agree, so that he has been hated by the emperor to this day!"

Zhang Yuqing did not speak, a pair of dark eyes gleamed coldly.

Acha said solemnly: "Ma'am, I swear to God, if I have a lie, I will call my Nasebo family to exterminate!"

"Okay, I believe you." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile.

Ah Cha breathed a sigh of relief. The lady in front of him was young and beautiful, and she looked non-aggressive, but it made him feel more stressed, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

"I want [-] horses." Zhang Yuqing tapped on the table with her white and slender fingers.

Ah Cha nodded calmly, "Okay, we will confess."

"Then what do you want?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Acha said: "20 taels of cloth, 30 taels of salt, and 50 taels of grain. In addition, if your salt is sold to the grasslands, it must go through us. We will take [-]% of the profit."

"It sounds like I didn't take advantage of any advantage. This business didn't start well, so how can I make the second and third deals?" Zhang Yuqing chuckled, thinking that the business would come to fruition or not.

Ah Zha looked at her for a while, then said, "How about I make another promise?"

"What promise?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Acha hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "No matter what the situation is in the future, as long as Madam is there, our Sebo clan will never invade. If Madam is in danger, as long as we know, Na Sebo will The family will protect it with all their strength.”

The other two were stunned, and after recovering from their senses, the young master chattered excitedly in nonsense.

Ah Cha sat calmly, unmoved, and finally roared, saying something for some reason, and the two of them fell silent helplessly.

Zhang Yuqing's original plan was to buy the horse back no matter what, but she didn't take Ah Cha's promise to heart, so she nodded and said, "Deal."

The horses are bought first, and the grain, salt and cloth can be given slowly.

Acha breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and performed the etiquette of a barbarian, and said politely: "In summer, when the water and grass are abundant, our grassland is the most beautiful. If you have time, madam, you can visit our grassland. It will be warmly received!"

The first batch of [-] horses were quickly transported into Baochuan City. As Du Jingyi reported earlier, each horse was fat and strong, and they did not starve and lose weight all winter. Obviously, the Sebo people spent a lot of time. Great care.

The salt, grain and cloth promised by Zhang Yuqing also embarked on a journey to the outside of the pass.

At this time, Lu Wei received a secret order from the commander-in-chief's office, saying that the Hu people had been detected to have large-scale movements and gathered in the direction of Liangzhou, and Lu Wei was required to quickly bring [-] elites to support Liangzhou City.

Lu Wei unfolded the map, frowning.

"Hu people want to attack Liangzhou City?" Zhang Yuqing was also puzzled.
