Chapter 144 Mushroom is a Female Man

Cao Feng muttered that the price of horses was significantly higher than last season.

Cai Xiang smiled nonchalantly, "A rising tide raises all boats, just look at the horse market in Boryeong in September, and the price of horses will also rise."

Cao Feng thought about it, that's right, horses are expensive for them, and horses for other gangs must also be expensive.

I stayed in Taining for a day, but I only bought [-] mature horses, and there were no winners yet.Cai Xiang was very depressed, she didn't want to meet a familiar horse dealer at this time, and pointed him out a way, saying that there is a town called Yewu, seventy miles west of the Taining horse market, where there are people who only sell half horses , excellent color, mostly mixed with wild horses.

Cai Xiang had heard of the town of Yewu. It was a fairly big town. People from the Central Plains and Hu people lived together. The folk customs were unbelievably tough. They would slash all over the street with knives. There was a bully in the town with a temper It's also weird and tight, and doesn't take the usual way.

Therefore, most caravans don't go there, they either buy from the horse market or go directly to the grassland.

He rubbed his chin and said, "The water in that town is a bit deep."

The horse dealer slapped his thigh and said with a sneer, "For other caravans, Boss Cai from the Nanguan Horse Market has good fists and feet, and he is full of courage. I'm afraid the water is not deep enough."

Cai Xiang was amused by his words, "Who can I buy from?"

The horse dealer said, "Mo Gu."

Cai Xiang said, "Mushroom?"

Cao Feng leaned over and laughed, "The name Mushroom is so delightful."

The horse dealer rolled his eyes, "Hmph, if you dare to yell like that in the town, Mr. Cao, I guarantee that you will not be short of someone to kill you."

Cao Feng hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang, we have never been to this town before."

The horse dealer said, "What you don't know in Baoning is that even if you go to the grassland, you may not be able to buy good horses. These days, the barbarians are fighting to the death, and all the good horses are on the battlefield."

Cai Xiang pondered for a moment, "Okay, let's go to Yewu and learn about mushrooms."

Cai Xiang chose ten men with sharp fists and feet, and went straight to Yewu, and the remaining twenty or so men unhurriedly drove off the horses and went to Congzhou.

Along the way, the horse speeded up, and when he arrived at Yewu, it was already dusk.

The sky is full of red clouds, outlining the mountains in the distance into various magnificent shapes, and the snow-capped mountains can be faintly seen, reflecting silvery light.

Yewu is a town at the foot of the mountain. It is very close to the prairie, but the location is a little bit out of the way, and there are many mountains. According to the horse dealer, the barbarians don't even bother to fight for this land, and they didn't even fight. At this point, let them go at ease.

Sure enough, when I arrived at this town, I felt very peaceful. There were two strange-looking stone beasts squatting at the entrance of the town. They looked like evil spirits. One was white and the other was black. It made everyone look twice.

Walking in, Cai Xiang and the others sat on horseback and looked around, but they felt ordinary and peaceful, the crooked Huangshi Ban Street was very wide, and there were bustling shops and businessmen on both sides. San Wu yelled and closed the door to close the stall, and he didn't care about this group of outsiders, as if businessmen here are commonplace.There were also quite a few people walking on the street, all dressed in different clothes, some with high noses and deep eyes, some with curly hair, presumably barbarians from the frontier, and dressed very brightly.

Huo An had never seen the landscape of this area before, so he couldn't help looking around curiously.At this time, Aqiu shouted from behind, "Brother Xiang, I'm starving to death, eat something before you go buy a horse, or you won't have the strength."

Cai Xiang felt that it made sense, and saw that there was a herbal tea shop on the side of the road. Although it was dilapidated, it looked very clean, so she urged everyone to get off their horses and drink some tea to rest their breath.

The owner of the herbal tea shop is an old man, hunched over and doesn't like to smile. He looks like you want to come or not. He is wiping the table when he sees a large group of men coming in hurriedly. The tea bowls are in the basket, you can do it yourself, you can drink as much as you like, five cents per person, no bargaining."

Cao Feng couldn't help muttering, "Oh, it's not the owner of the shop, it's the uncle."

Unexpectedly, the old man heard him muttering, turned his head and stared at him, and put a finger on the wipe, "Look at the top."

Cao Feng looked up, and a big mouthful of blood spurted out.

A tattered wooden plaque was hung above his head, with four big characters written decisively: Uncle Herbal Tea.

Aqiu suppressed his laughter, and poked him, "Maybe this is the custom of this place, and there is no rule that you must welcome customers when you open a shop."

Cai Xiang cast a sharp eye, Cao Feng was honest, a group of people sat around two tables, took tea bowls to scoop tea and drink, and took out dry food to chew, in short, it was a buffet.

After eating and drinking well, Cai Xiang opened his mouth and asked, "Master Herbal Tea, is there a horse seller in this town?"

The herbal tea master wiped the table without raising his eyelids, and said slowly, "They all call me Cha Ye."

Cai Xiang was speechless.

Why is it either mushrooms or tea in this town?
He took a breath, "Master Cha, this town..."

Uncle Herbal Tea interrupted him impatiently, "I'm looking for Aunt Mo to buy a horse."

Cai Xiang pressed Wei Tiao's forehead, "Where is the mushroom?"

The herbal tea uncle looked up at him expressionlessly, "It's our rule here to inquire about ten pennies for a piece of news. If you're new here, I've already given you one."

puff--

Cao Feng and Aqiu spit out a mouthful of herbal tea.This town is not a tough folk, okay, but an evil folk, okay?

Unexpectedly, when the herbal tea master saw that they had sprayed tea on the table, he was immediately annoyed, rushed over and grabbed the rag and wiped it frantically, "What are you spraying before you wipe it clean!"

As he spoke, he turned around, picked up the shiny kitchen knife for cutting beef on the chopping board next to him, and chopped it into the tea table with a click, "Whoever sprays tea indiscriminately, I will make him spray blood!"

The men were silent, silently staring at the sharp kitchen knife stuck on the table.

This town is really tough and tough.

Huo An mixed the dry bun in his mouth with tea and quickly swallowed it down.

While everyone was silent, the street became lively, and the sound of fighting came from the street.

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, and saw that the Huangshiban Street was glowing red in the setting sun, and in the bright red light, two people were running from the street, holding long knives and chasing all the way.

People walking on the street avoid in all directions, but their expressions are calm, as if it is commonplace, and they point and smile.There were two listless beggars sitting at the door of the herbal tea shop. Seeing the beheader, they suddenly regained their spirits. One picked out a copper plate from the sole of a broken shoe and threw it into the broken bowl, "I bet the gray clothes will kill the black man." clothing!"

Cai Xiang turned her head silently, took out a ten-character copper plate silently, and put it on the table, "Master Tea, may I ask where the mushrooms are?"

The herbal tea master took the copper coins, and without looking at the two people who were chopping back and forth on the long street, he said calmly, "Mo Gu went out to buy a man. I heard that when it gets dark, the biggest house in the east of the town is Mo's house."
