Chapter 662, Grassland Business

At the border between the northern grasslands and the Central Plains, a group of stragglers were sitting on the edge of the Shenmu River, next to a rising bonfire.

This place was located at the northern border of the Wang Clan’s consortium, bordering the steppe, but it was already sparsely populated up to this point, and the Wang Clan’s troops rarely even came here on patrol.

A group of people gathered around the bonfire to keep warm, the clothes they were wearing, obviously had many patches and were not washed often, and they were carrying homemade clay guns in their arms, they looked like horse bandits who had been mixing in the wilderness for years.

A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said, “Big brother, do you think they will come ah, the previously agreed upon date can be long past.”

“I don’t know,” a tough middle-aged man rubbed his hands, “Who knows what the situation is on the grassland, I heard that it’s quite chaotic over there too, and some small tribes were exterminated when they said they were exterminated.”

“Then we still continue to wait, this has been waiting for two days,” the sharp-tongued middle-aged man cursed and said, “If the goods they bring are not as good as they say, we can be a wasted trip.”

“Wang Er Dog I say you can’t stop for a while, these two days net listen to you here chattering, you don’t want to wait, just roll back.” A Han finished and spat on the ground.

The leader of the horse bandits stopped talking, the reason why he waited here for two days, not because he has integrity or anything, but the family will soon be unable to uncover the pot …….

They live on the road from the Central Plains to the Northwest, but the commercial road between the Northwest and the Central Plains has long been cut off for I don’t know how many years, when the scenery of the horse bandits, and now every day still have to plant their own land, it’s too much of a drop in the bucket.

Although I heard that the commercial road is going to be reopened, but this is not yet open it? Before they met a few caravans they wanted to rob, but now the caravans that can travel between the Northwest and the Central Plains are all big merchants, and their weapons are much better than theirs.

Moreover, he is also a smart man, who is the person who opened the merchant road? It’s the 178th Fortress!

This 178 fortress is different from the consortium, if they plunder the caravan in the future, the group of killers from 178 fortress will probably send out their troops to flatten them without a care in the world.

The horse bandit leader thought to himself, since being a horse bandit is risky, can he take advantage of this wind and do some business as well?

But what kind of business can he do? He has no goods in his hand …….

So, some time ago, a herdsman rode from the north, said they want to do business with them, the horse bandit leader called Su Lei immediately moved.

That herdsman rode an extremely tall horse and said that they had a lot of hides and skins from prey on the grasslands, as well as beef and mutton to trade.

These things, whether it was the Northwest or the Central Plains, were scarce!

Especially furs, that is one of the favorite things of the nobles in the barriers, with the same reason as the wild game, if you can wear a beautiful fur from the wilderness, then you are the most dazzling existence at the dinner party ah.

Of course, Su Lei this is also heard from others, they have not seen it with their own eyes.

But Zong’s barriers market town, perennial grocery store owner to buy fur is true.

No, now those barriers have been returned to 178 Fortress.

The Shenmu River was very shallow, and now because of the cold weather, it had all frozen into ice.

Why did the nomads always choose winter to go south? There was also part of the reason that the river was passable.

Just as the horse bandit leader Su Lei was pondering, the faint sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from the distance, he looked up and saw a group of people coming from the frozen river, the leader was a teenager.

Su Lei stood up, “I am Su Lei, you are late.”

The teenager sitting on the horse’s back laughed, “Good things are always a little late, we brought skins, lots and lots of skins, and they sell very well, the things we want, have you brought them?”

At this time, Su Lei remembered another very odd thing, according to his thought, the things that the northern nomads want to trade, should be salt or weapons and so on, but the other side is very strange, even named tea, cabbage, cilantro, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, pepper and other seasonings ……

Of course also asked for antibiotic-type medicines, as well as some ironware, but the ironware is also asked for pots and pans, not swords and knives ……

Su Lei said, “Our goods are placed a few kilometers away, we have to make sure of your sincerity before we can take you to pick them up.”

The dozens of people behind Su Lei silently sized up the teenager, as well as the hundreds of light and strong men behind the teenager, all of whom rode high horses and followed closely behind the teenager.

The teenager smiled when he heard Su Lei’s words, “Send someone over to inspect the goods.”

Su Lei gave a wink to the sharp-tongued middle-aged man, and the other shrank back.

Instead, it was the Han who had rebuked this middle-aged man earlier who took the initiative to step towards the herdsman.

The teenager looked at the han and said approvingly, “Quite bold, what’s your name?”

Su Lei suddenly felt that this teenager had a kind of superior confidence in him, and the han didn’t mind, answering in a muffled voice, “Cui Qiang!”

Saying that, the hanyou had already walked over to the middle of the herders, and he was surprised to see that all these horses and horses were carrying stacks of furs on their backs.

Cui Qiang reached out and examined, these fur preservation degree, even the best hunters in the Central Plains can not do, there are no gunshot holes, only two small holes like teeth marks, as if bitten by wolves.

The fur here, if sold to the Northwest or the Central Plains, but to make a fortune.

It is best to sell to the Central Plains, where people are richer!

Cui Qiang checked for half an hour before he finally finished, he turned back to Su Lei and shouted, “No problem.”

Su Lei took a deep breath and said to the teenager, “Come with me, I’ll take you to the place where the goods are placed, vegetables, iron, medicines, we’ve brought everything.”

The teenager laughed happily, “When I saw that you didn’t have any goods with you, I thought that you were planning to go empty-handed, since you are sincere about trading with our tribe, you have made a very correct decision.”

Between the words, Su Lei found that that teenager on the other side didn’t seem to be afraid of their clay guns as if, but this group of herders obviously didn’t bring any hot weapons at all ah, what makes them so confident?

You have to know, the clay gun is no longer clay, that is also a gun ah.

Su Lei led the way while wondering, “Why don’t you guys buy weapons or something, why do you buy so many daily necessities?”

The teenager laughed, “Speaking as if I want weapons, you can get them for me.”

The words were not without mocking meaning, but Su Lei really couldn’t refute, if he could get better weapons, they themselves wouldn’t need to run around with clay guns.

The teenager glanced at Su Lei and smiled, “Don’t mind, I’m just stating some facts, after this deal is done you’ll slowly become rich, at that time, it’s not too late for us to trade other goods.”

Su Lei froze for a moment, he realized that this teenager actually wanted a long-term cooperation in the future.

The other party didn’t buy the gun now because the other party understood very well: Su Lei and the others couldn’t get it either.

But just because they couldn’t get it now, didn’t mean they couldn’t get it in the future.
