Chapter 72: Horse Trading in Shaanxi (Part 1)
The grass is green, it is late spring. Walking along the Great Wall all the way to the west, you can see the busy scene. The Great Wall blocked the invasion of the Yuanmeng cavalry, and the people could open up and cultivate land by their own temperament. Therefore, wherever they passed, they saw the happy smiling faces of the people and the tall seedlings. There was a mountain village old man squatting on the ridge of the field, holding a large bowl of old flowers and porcelain in his hand, pulling rough rice grains and sweet potato pieces into his mouth, looking satisfied and happy.
The Chinese people are so easy to support. As long as you don’t move troops, don’t catch war, have food and clothes in your hands, the people will be satisfied.
Li Feng looked at these simple, satisfied people, as if they were free and easy as gods, and suddenly two tears fell in his eyes. The old eunuch Yin beside him asked, "Mr. Li, are you feeling uncomfortable? Is this sun too poisonous? Do we have to stop and rest?" The old eunuch Yin was nervous because he was very good at judging the best and knew that Eunuch Lu was very fond of Li Feng, so he did not dare to be careless at all around Li Feng.
Li Feng pointed the delicate calfskin whip at the farmers and choked up, "Dadfather-in-law, look at these people, are they very rich? No, their lives are just enough to take care of food and clothing, but they are very satisfied. Among the six realms, they have to be born. Now they have to be satisfied with just one bite of food. Look at those wild old men, as long as their children and grandchildren are lively and can say a few naughty words, they can make them extremely happy. This is the day on the side of the gods... Only us, who do not understand the cycle of the heavens, are happy in the world, walk desperately in time, and work hard."
Where is the ignorant person of the martial arts level of the old eunuch Yin and others? They heard Li Feng's words and were moved by their hearts. Even though they were usually as heart-warming as a sharp knife, they were still looking at the ordinary people and unable to speak. The old eunuch Yin whispered: "Yes, if you have food in your hands and clothes on your body, the people are enough. Alas..." People's request is so simple, but what about themselves? For the sake of high officials and generous salaries, they kept pursuing their troops, and their subordinates had no idea how much blood had accumulated. In the future, the settlement of the account in front of the King of Hell would be a debt that could not be paid off.
Li Feng looked at the lively field life of the people, and couldn't help but feel sad for himself: "Poor, these people have been ignorant for life, but have changed into a family of food and clothing, and have children and grandchildren. However, I, Li Feng, have been smart for life and are full of revenge, but I have to chase the vast and unrecognizable way of heaven... Is it because they live so ignorant for life, or is it because I am meticulous for life?" Feeling in my heart, Li Feng didn't know whether he was right or wrong for a while, so he could only pity himself and hurt himself.
With a long sigh, Li Feng said the most philosophical sentence in his life: "The people of the Central Plains are like our grandsons."
The group of eunuchs, officers and Jinyiwei behind him were shocked, not knowing why Li Feng said such words. Li Feng continued to sigh: "A mortal grandson, as long as they give some delicious food on weekdays and coax them a few words, they will obey. If you beat him, scold him, bully him, ravage him, and trample him, he will take it as a matter of course. If you want to use him, sacrifice him, and betray him, it will naturally be a "righteousness" that will suppress them. The people are like grandsons."
"When you need money, the people will give money as much as their grandsons are filial to their ancestors. When you want to work hard, the people will work hard as much as their grandsons. The world of the Central Plains is really easy to manage. As long as you give your grandsons, that is, the people will have a bite of food, will they still be disrespectful and filial?"
"Apart from myself, fame and wealth are all a cloud of clouds. What I pursue is something that the people cannot give."
Thinking of the leisurely life in the world, the goal I pursue is too slim. This is the reason why Li Fengliu cried. Why is it too tired, the sun is too poisonous, etc.
From Yanjing City to Datong Prefecture, Shaanxi, this has always been the territory of King Yan Zhu Di, so the journey is safe and sound. Especially in Datong Prefecture, Li Feng and his team can also visit the local generals and appreciate the exercise of the 30,000 elite cavalry stationed here by the King of Yan. Li Feng secretly calculated the calculations. Now a good war horse is thirty taels of silver, ten thousand iron cavalry, and just a war horse is 300,000 taels, which is really a money-burning thing. No wonder he lost nearly 10,000 war horses in his battle with Chi Menger, so Zhu Di was urged to cry.
What Li Feng is holding now is a flying ticket worth 1.2 million taels of silver, which is used to go to Shaanxi to buy war horses from Xinjiang. Zhu Di specially received him for a quarter of an hour before leaving, and explained very frankly: "No matter how expensive the price is, you can get me 30,000 good war horses from the hands of the herdsmen in Xinjiang... Of course, I understand that there may be obstacles in it, but if there is an obstacle, then you will have to act. No matter what means you use, as long as you put the war horse in front of me, you will be the first achievement."
"Strange, strange, aren't there still tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals here in Datong Mansion? Why didn't they transfer them to Yanjing City?"
No matter how emotional Li Feng felt, in short, they arrived in Xi'an Prefecture on this day. More than a thousand men led by Azhu were busy in Xi'an Prefecture. They bought war horses from Xinjiang, kept war horses outside the city, and sent reliable people back to Yanjing. This trip made them suffer a lot. In the past, they helped smuggle goods and exchange horses for horses, but this time it was only 3500, which was a great number, but now there are tens of thousands of war horses at one time. They were all busy and exhausted. They were looking forward to people coming to Yanjing City to pick them up.
Li Feng put away his thoughts and returned to normal. He looked at the old eunuch Yin with an incredible face and said, "Dadfather-in-law, you were so careful when doing things, right? With a salt farm like this big in Bohai Bay, you only had two small pieces of salt farms to dry salt and eat it yourself? If I had known that the territory of the royal palace included such a piece of sea field, would I have to transport private salt from the southeast? I would have sold it on a large scale."
The old eunuch Yin looked embarrassed: "So, according to the Ming Dynasty's law, selling private salt will be dead..."
Before Li Feng could finish his sentence, he had already blocked his words: "The death penalty is good, but if it was sold by our prince, it would be the king's salt. What kind of private salt is there?" Li Feng gestured proudly: "According to the geographical situation near the Bohai Bay that Your Highness told me, as long as it is well managed, I am sure to squeeze out the entire northern salt market. At that time, will it be rich and gold and silver like a tide? Hehe, there are more than so many, salt, iron, oil, tea, and these things in our prince's territory."
Bar slapped, Li Feng muttered: "With such good conditions, I just couldn't use them at the beginning, so I just rely on collecting taxes on the land to live. I don't know why the prince saved so much gold and silver. Alas, the silver bills are spent now, and they are all people's money and cream. I feel sorry for me." Li Feng's whip was swaying around and said with an evil look on his face: "So, if the money from tax collection is too expensive, I'm really sorry to our people... Well, selling private salt and other things, the profits obtained can make us spend it with peace of mind."
The old eunuch Yin only thinks it is ridiculous. Your tax is a good fortune for the people. Didn’t the money obtained from selling private salt be retrieved from the people? But it seems that there is a reason. The tax was forcibly withdrawn from the people’s income, but this salt... Well, the people have to live by themselves. Isn’t it also reducing their financial burden for them? Speaking of which, the royal family is still doing good things. Li Feng’s words went around a few circles, completely making the old eunuch Yin confused.
Only Chang Tie muttered behind Li Feng: "Da Ming Lu, selling private salt is a death sentence. This prince still has the responsibility to arrest the smuggled person. This is not..."
Li Feng snorted coldly: "Nonsense, it is natural for the prince to capture and smuggle, in order not to let others share our profits. If we don't make money there, we will be taken away by others. Would you like? General Chang, where is this? ... Well, you can take care of military affairs more, but you, General Chang, don't know about the problem of money. You also need to spend money when fighting. If you don't have money, how do you get your war horses, sabers, and arrows? How do you get your military pay? Where do you get the pension for the wounded and killed soldiers?"
Li Feng looked sad: "This time we lost tens of thousands of brothers, and the pension was millions of taels of white silver. If you don't have money, would you want your brothers' families to drink the northwest wind?"
Chang Tie was stunned, then suddenly realized, bowed and said, "Sir, you are not as good as you are."
Li Feng laughed strangely: "It's normal. If you follow me to learn, you will be so smart sooner or later... Well, where is this place?"
Chang Tie looked at the terrain and said, "According to our itinerary, we have already entered the Shaanxi territory. We can drive to Xi'an Prefecture in one day. Sir, as long as we transport this war horse from Xi'an Prefecture to the prince's territory, there will be no problem. What we are afraid of is that we are plagued by local troops on the road. Do you think?"
Li Feng looked at the hundreds of powerful Jinyiwei behind him and whispered: "Damn, I have official documents on it, saying that the Yan Prince's Mansion needs to collect war horses. What else do they dare to say? If they are not tactful, let me kill him. With such a group of experts here, killing him two thousand soldiers is not a problem? How many people can he be stationed in a garrison? Then he will frame the bandits... Don't forget that the prince's large-scale procurement of military horses did not report to the emperor... Well, um, the emperor is in poor health, so we don't have to use too many troubles to mess with him, right?"
Chang Tie swallowed, saying that this was just selling military horses privately. Zhu Di had to be a big deal, right? But he was so smart that he didn't dare to say anything and pretended to be confused and went over.
There was nothing to say along the way. Li Feng and his group were wearing brocade clothes, arrogantly, and rushed into Xi'an Prefecture with half-baked Fengyang's official language. When they passed the city gate, Li Feng cursed: "Damn it, they are indeed a group of snobs. Seeing so many men, he only charged twenty big money each. Why did I take my usual money last time in Suzhou Prefecture? What a bunch of bastards." Li Feng suddenly remembered the tolls he was wrongly charged when he returned to Suzhou Prefecture for the first time.
Old Eunuch Yin pretended not to hear Li Feng’s complaint and said with a smile: “Mr. Li, you are the leader in charge this time. What’s the matter? You live in the inn and ask us to do it below. If you have time and have nothing to do, Huashan is nearby, and the scenery is amazing. Should you send a few people to accompany you to visit for a good tour?”
Li Feng's heart twitched and said lightly: "Is Huashan? Forget it, this is the private place of Huashan Sword Sect. Ordinary people can go up. If we are a group of martial arts people, we must be careful of being misunderstood by the people of Huashan Sect. The important thing the prince explained is important, so it's better not to have any trouble... Eunuch Yin, where is the inn where my elder brother and the others live?"
As he was talking, more than a dozen Jinlong Gang men who were shaking their bodies and rushing around the streets had already come towards him. He was overjoyed to see Li Feng and the others appear. A black-faced man rushed up and grabbed the horse reins for Li Feng, and said loudly: "Deputy Gang Master... Hey, Lord Li, you are here. Damn, the horse dealers in Xi'an Prefecture bully life. We want to buy Xinjiang horses. The fuck saw that we wanted a large number of people, so we deliberately raised the price. The gang leader had already conflicted with the local gang twice with the people. Fortunately, we had many people and were good at it, so we broke up their local 'Baihu Hall'. I heard that they were inviting experts to help, and our gang leader was worried that you would come with people."
The big man's mouth is very sweet and good at speaking. Li Feng hasn't answered yet. He has already greeted the old eunuch Yin and the others in a low voice. Although he didn't know that the old eunuch Yin and the others were father-in-law, the big man still whipped the dozen or so old eunuchs very happy. Li Feng smiled and whipped him with a whip and said, "You can hear that you can speak. In the future, ask Azhu to give you a special external responsibilities. Just chop and kill like this, which will insult your ability."
The man was overjoyed and hurriedly grabbed Li Feng's reins and walked towards a side street with Li Feng and the others. He kept turning back and said, "We have too many people here this time and can't stay in the inn, so the gang leader simply rented a few large yards to live in. The war horses he had purchased are now kept on the hillside in the northern suburbs outside the city, waiting to see when they will be sent back to Yanjing."
Li Feng smiled lightly, and he kept tugging with the big man, muttering in his heart: "A Zhu is addicted to being a gang leader, right? He won't suppress the local snake. He turned over the local gang nest. This is a taboo thing." Frowning, Li Feng immediately whispered to the old eunuch Yin: "Duce, do you think we should say hello to the local government? If this starts, it will be too big, but it will be bad."
Old Eunuch Yin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "No need. We just need to do it cleaner and kill all the people from the "White Tiger Hall". Without the victim, we are not afraid of suing the lawsuit. Especially here, we are close to our prince's fiefdom. If something happens, the local officials will give us some face. Let's talk about it at that time. I'll waste money for these guys for no reason... Well, it's the horse dealers that raise the price. This is a painful thing. Lord Li, what do you think?"
Li Feng said with a slight face, "If they want to take the opportunity to raise prices, then no wonder I forcefully buy and sell. Eunuch Yin, wait and let us wash it. Then you will take people to follow the brothers sent by Azhu to discuss with the horse dealers. If they don't give us horses in half, it depends on how my father-in-law shut them up... General Chang, you will take people to follow me to find the herdsmen from Xinjiang, and we will buy war horses directly from them. I guess the inventory in the horse market in Xi'an is not enough for the numbers we want. I can only wait for a while to let the group of Xinjiang go back and transport a large number of horses."
After thinking for a while, Li Feng jumped off the horse: "Is this the yard you live in now? Hehe, it's quite grand... Well, buying horses directly from Xinjiang people can be much cheaper, and you can offset the money with a lot of private salt and tea. The prince assigned us the matter, and we always have to think of ways to save money for the prince, right?"
The old eunuch Yin raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Mr. Li's opinion is indeed very clever. If it weren't for the prince's efforts, how could the prince give you the matter? The prince's money was saved with great effort. The people below us would have to save some money. Hehe, I'll talk to the local horse dealers later to see if they are willing to cooperate. Humph, father-in-law, I see if their wealth and life are in our hands, will they still dare to continue to increase the price."
Azhu had already greeted him with a large group of people. He hugged Li Feng with a smile on his face, and then greeted the old eunuch Yin and the others in turn. Li Feng smiled and asked someone to take the masters who came together to wash the dust on his body and change his clothes. Then he and Azhu, Old Eunuch Yin and other leaders went to the hall of the first floor yard to sit down. Li Feng, who was sitting in the middle, just got on the chair and started blaming Azhu: "Azhu, what are you doing? The people you are carrying are good, but the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. Why did you ruin the White Tiger Hall? If the matter is big and the Jinyiwei in the capital is found, it will be a big trouble."
Azhu obediently listened to Li Feng's lesson, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of water and said, "I didn't mean to pick their place. It's really that those guys were too greedy. Seeing that we were in a hurry to collect horses, they deliberately raised the price. The brothers below were very dissatisfied and started to fight. Then their strength was not enough, and we were all over the place, so nothing happened."
Li Feng said in a deep voice: "Nothing happens now does not mean that there will be no accident in the future. Azhu, you must remember how Baidi Sect was driven away from Suzhou Prefecture by us. We are now doing things for the prince, and we always think that we cannot alarm other government forces, otherwise it will also make the people from our palace too domineering."
The old eunuch Yin said in a dark voice: "Isn't this? Going outside to do business is the most careful. If you are caught by the Jinyiwei, it will be a big trouble. We are considered as privately releasing the fiefdom, and the charges are quite serious. But it doesn't matter. As long as we start faster, we will wipe out all the people from the White Tiger Hall, and the wind and rain will be gone."
Li Feng laughed and complimented the old eunuch Yin: "My father-in-law is very considerate, boy admires it... Azhu, in the future, either do not offend local forces, or just offend them to the end. Don't give them the opportunity to collude with the government and make things difficult for us. Then you take your father-in-law and have a good talk with those horse dealers. I'll take people around to see if we can find people from Xinjiang. We can buy horses directly from them, so as to avoid exploitation."
Azhu pondered for a while and nodded: "I understand. I will not leave the head and tail to deal with it again in the future... Afeng, there are a few people from Xinjiang tribes now in Xi'an Prefecture. You want to find them. I ask someone to take you there. However, those Huizi are very trustworthy, saying that their horses have always been sold to those horse dealers, so I have talked with them several times without success. They refused to agree to us, saying that they want to be trustworthy. It's so fucking. I want to kill them with one palm."
Li Feng nodded silently and said after a long time: "Don't they agree? That's because the person who signed the agreement with them is still there... Eunuch Yin, it will be up to you later."
Old Eunuch Yin picked up the teacup in front of him, smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I am under Eunuch Lu's hands, who is responsible for these troubles. It is most convenient to solve any trouble with a knife, hehe."
The plan was decided, and Li Feng and his team returned to their room and took a shower. After changing into a refreshing brocade robe, they divided into several teams to go out. Under the leadership of Azhu, the old eunuch Yin went directly to find the horse dealers and the backers behind him to negotiate. Li Feng brought a group of masters and under the guidance of the Jinlong Gang to find the place where the leaders of Xinjiang herdsmen in Xi'an Prefecture live. With the silver in their hands, the leaders of these herdsmen would come to the mainland to purchase a large number of daily necessities. They would rather work harder than buying from those distant dealers. People are not stupid.
Li Feng kicked the door of the courtyard without hesitation, made of teak, and the three-inch thick wooden door was shaken into hundreds like paper, flying straight into the yard seven or eight feet away. A group of people in the yard were smiling and walked out with their hands in. Seeing Li Feng and his group hitting in so savagely, they were stunned. Li Feng sneered a few times and said carelessly: "Is Damaiti from Rolling Kerr? I'll discuss business with him."
The middle-aged man with two big tendrils on one lips, tall strips, and deep eyes, slim middle-aged man sniffed: "I am Damaiti, friend, what are you doing with me? If it is a friend, you apologize first, I will treat you with milk tea. If it is an enemy, you will explain your identity, and I will use a scimitar to bury you."
Li Feng looked at the group of Xinjiang herdsmen with small round hats on their heads and heavy scimitars around their waists, and shouted in surprise: "Oh, what did the local policing department do? You are actually carrying weapons. Don't you know the control of the military weapons in the Ming Dynasty?... Also, you, you, you, you, you three don't look good. The three big men hold hands together, either traitors or stealing. Are you good at Long Yang? Bah, it's a bad crime to send them to the government."
Three Han men in long robes turned blue with anger. The fat middle-aged man in the middle stopped Damaiti, who was about to speak, took a few steps, and whispered: "I am Xiao Ting, the 'Qinglong Sword' of Huashan Sword Sect. Is this friend so ugly?"
When Li Feng heard this man claiming to be a member of Huashan Sect, his impression of Xiao Ting immediately appeared in his head: "Is it from Huashan Sword Sect? Oh, I still remember this guy. There were ten gold bars tied to his belt, but I was stripped naked all over the night by my master. Don't you feel sorry for me?" Li Feng smiled strangely: "Oh, is it the Huashan Sword Sect that has thieves in his family and has ended up looking for monks and Taoists to exorcise evil spirits? It's really so majestic and evil...'Qinglong Sword'? I haven't heard of it, brothers, have you heard of it?"
Where did this group of Jinyiwei men under the King of Hell take the Huashan Sword Sect seriously? He heard Li Feng teasing Xiao Ting and suddenly burst into laughter. There were a few more mean people, laughing and shouting: "Oh, I seem to have heard of it. This Huashan Sword Sect has built more than a dozen water and land dojos in two years. It is really hard, hard, lively and lively."
Xiao Ting was so angry that his whole body was trembling for a while. He pulled out the Songwen sword at his waist and pointed the sword tip at Li Feng. Li Feng sneered three times to the sky, stepped forward four steps, and then the Qingming sword suddenly came out of the sheath, slashed with one sword, and the sword light flashed, and the sword had already returned to the sheath.
The entire courtyard was quiet. The Songwen sword, which was obviously a sword in Xiao Ting's hand, was actually cut by Li Feng's sword. The broken mouth was neatly arranged, just like cutting tofu with a knife. Xiao Ting, the great swordsman of the Huashan Sword Sect, had no reaction at all. Damaiti and the others' eyes were wide open, and the two middle-aged men who had just joined hands with Xiao Ting were full of panic. In Li Feng's thoughtful eyes, they took a few steps back and stood behind Damaiti.
Xiao Ting was so angry that he shook his body, then he roared to the sky: "Swords are not as good as humans, what can you do?" He raised his hand and threw away the remaining hilt in his hand and walked out with great strode. When he was about to leave the hospital, he turned around and shouted with great integrity: "Boy, you are just relying on a good sword. When someone Xiao finds a good sword, I will divide the ratio with you again."
Li Feng was also stunned. A group of Jinyiwei masters looked at each other and couldn't speak. After a long time, Xiao Ting had left without a trace. Li Feng murmured to himself: "Oh my God, is this the hero in the world? You can make a name for yourself. I, the "Qingtian Swordsman", Li Feng, shouldn't he be the leader of the martial arts world?" After a pause, there was another evil smile on Li Feng's face. He looked at the two middle-aged people hiding behind Damaiti, hooked their fingers, and smiled: "Friends, you are from Baihu Hall? Yes, don't deny it. God will use lightning to kill the lying people."
The two middle-aged men looked at each other, and the one wearing a green cloth robe on the left stepped forward and shouted with a hard neck: "Your uncle, I am the leader of the Tiger Claw Hall of the White Tiger Hall, "The Mountain Hunter" Lei Dahu... Are you the subordinate of Li Zhu of the Golden Dragon Gang? Damn, if a bachelor fights against nine or nine, you will destroy our main hall, and now you have to choose our business. This is too much. Our martial arts heroes in Shaanxi will not let you go."
Li Feng hugged his arm and blew a frivolous breath, causing the hair in front of his forehead to fly up. He said proudly: "Oh? You are the leader of the Tiger Claw Hall in the Housan Hall? Then do you have the Tiger Whip Hall? Are there Lei Xiaohu?... That's right, I am Li Feng, the brother of Li Zhu, and we are here to choose your place. Don't stare. We don't know the rules of the world, and we don't want to know. You are the one who breaks the rules first?"
Li Feng pointed at Lei Dahu fiercely and cursed: "Our silver is the soil in the ground, so it is so easy to make it? Your fucking horse raises the price of ten taels of silver, are you going to kill the enemy? The more people buy, the cheaper the price. You see that we want more horses, and the whole horse store also raises the price. What's the matter? Our Golden Dragon Gang is trying to suppress your White Tiger Hall, we have more people than you, and each of us has better martial arts than you, we just suppress you to fight. How can you stand by me?"
"This world has never been loyal and moral. Whoever wins will be the boss. If the martial arts alliance loses, he will immediately become a low-ranking gangster. I've been out of the way. Do you still can't understand the world? Today I put my words here, an average of fifteen taels of silver per war horse. Either you Baihu Hall sell the horse to us according to my conditions, or I will destroy your Baihu Hall and burn Huashan, and I will see if you can still find support from the Huashan Sword Sect."
Li Feng was happy and pointed to the direction of Huashan and cursed angrily: "It depends on the bird-like appearance of Xiao Ting. How much unfair money did you pay for him? Can the Huashan faction be your backer? I'll get out of here now, otherwise you two will have to stand here now."
A Jinyiwei Qianhu, behind Li Feng, smiled grimly and showed his dark right palm. He took a few steps and gently pressed his palm on a foot-thick sycamore tree in the yard. The originally lush sycamore tree turned withered and yellow not long after, and was obviously highly poisoned. Qianhu smiled proudly: "My father, I have practiced this 'Ten Thousand Poisonous Yin Palm' and have worked hard for twenty years. Who will try this feeling, you two masters?"
Lei Dahu's face changed drastically. His fat face trembled for a while. He suddenly leaned against Damaiti's ear and muttered a few words, leading another middle-aged man straight to the gate of the yard.
Li Feng waited for the Lei Dahu to come to his side and suddenly said in a dark voice: "Just leave like this? The rules in the world do not leave any parts. Do you want to walk out like this? But I, Li Feng, have always been compassionate, and you can climb out for me. Brothers, set up an alley for these two old men from the White Tiger Hall to see their majesty."
The great men of the Jinyiwei knew it, walked out of twenty people with a loud grin, stood in a row, then lifted up the hem of the front and back robes, spread their legs, and formed a thigh alley.
Lei Dahu and his friends' faces became extremely difficult to see. Li Feng looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, it's no problem to die. Are the two old men so unsightly? If you have to seek death, I can help you. My sword is very sharp and used to chop people's heads, so it won't hurt at all." His fingers gently flicked the hilt of the sword, and the Qingming Sword suddenly let out a "sonorous" sound in the sword sheath.
Lei Dahu and the others shivered all over, leaned down in a mess, gritted their teeth, and walked through the crotch of twenty big men with evil spirits. Li Feng laughed and applauded: "It's amazing, being able to bend and stretch is what a real man does, it's really wonderful. Han Xin endured the humiliation under his crotch that day and would become a great man in the future. I think the two of them will have a bright future in the future." Li Feng winked.
Two Jinyiwei men walked over with a strange smile, picked up Lei Dahu and his companions, secretly stamped a yin force on the big hole behind them, and then threw them out of the yard. Lei Dahu and another middle-aged man were sure to be unavailable. They only had to walk more than half a mile to ensure that their blood swelled and died. Lei Dahu and the others didn't know that they had been plotting, so they got up and cursed in their mouths, and ran away like flying.
Li Feng looked at Damaiti and other groups, as if he had seen countless good war horses. He gently wiped his upper lip, coughed and laughed, "My friend Damaiti, I think there are no idle people waiting to disturb our conversation now. To be honest, I bought a horse from you. I have 1.2 million taels of silver notes, and thousands of kilograms of salt bricks. Tea bricks are at the Golden Dragon Gang's station. Look at how many war horses can be exchanged, and you can pay a price."
Damaiti's thin, browned face remained motionless. He sneered: "We are the people of the Krakel tribe with their own dignity. If we reach an agreement with the White Tiger Hall, we will not violate the agreement. We will not sell a horse to you, and you don't have to dream... For decades, our tribe and the horses of the neighboring tribes have been transferred through the White Tiger Hall. They are very trustworthy, so we will never betray our covenant."
Li Feng pointed to the gate of the yard and asked in confusion: "Oh? In other words, do you regard those two people who are lying on others' crotch to save their lives as friends?"
Damaiti was furious and pulled out his scimitar and yelled: "Are you insulting us? I ask to duel with you." The twenty or so young men behind him also pulled out their scimitar and stepped forward with murderous aura on their faces.
Li Feng waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "You said this yourself. You treat Lei Dahu and the others as friends, and Lei Dahu did such a tasteless thing for his life. Everyone is a discerning person. Have you seen it?...Tsk tsk, is Damaiti an unreasonable person?"
Damaiti was stunned for a moment, and looked at the yard behind Li Feng and those who stood at least two hundred people, all of whom were lit up in the temples, and then looked at the twenty or soccer skills behind him, and relying on only a stream of blood, he couldn't help but sigh. He inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard and shouted in a low voice: "Put the knife away, we are no match for it."
Damaiti spread his hands and said frankly: "Li Feng, you are called Li Feng, right? You are not a friend, so we Luo Keer people will not invite you into the room for tea. Tell you, we will never betray the covenant, you don't have to want to get even a war horse from us."
Li Feng hummed coldly: "There are always exceptions in things. I can't buy them at a high price, so can't it be? The price of fifteen taels per horse is for Baihu Hall, but I can do it with you..."
Damaiti shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, money is not important, what is important is reputation and vows. We have promised Baihu Hall and also promised friends from the horse market here. Our horses can only give them the price. As for how much they add, that is their business... We are just a group of herders grazing on the grassland. We don't want to participate in the disputes between your Central Plains martial arts gangs, so please leave us, okay?"
Li Feng's right finger gently flicked his face, his face full of dissatisfaction. He looked at Damaiti for a long time and suddenly said, "I can kill you now."
Damaiti took off his scimitar, held the middle of the scabbard, sent the knife forward, and shouted loudly: "Then, come and kill me. My head can be taken away by you, and my soul can return to the ancestors, but the covenant of our tribe must not betrayed. On the grassland, betraying friends is a more shameful thing than death."
Li Feng raised a thumbs up and shouted loudly: "Okay, you are a man... But if all the people in the White Tiger Hall die, you will always agree? At that time, no matter what transaction you do with us, it will be no problem?" Li Feng had already planned in his mind: "When the White Tiger Hall is destroyed, we will threaten the Huashan Sword Sect not to intervene. We will leave a nail in Xi'an Prefecture, and the horse market in Xi'an should be all under the control of the Golden Dragon Gang in the future."
Damaiti remained silent for a long time and sighed to the sky.
