Most of the luggage should be left to Shen Changwen. What Wu Xiaoqing needs to bring is a suit of armor, a sword, a gun and bullets, food, a water bottle, an electronic watch, and a high-end saddle bought at the racecourse.

Oh, and most importantly, the radio and batteries.

In this strange world, it was the only way they could communicate.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't need the mobile phone for the time being, and left it to Shen Changwen. If he went back to the portal in the cave and returned to Earth, he could still use this mobile phone to send and receive messages for Wu Xiaoqing, or do something in his name.

In order to save battery, the two agreed to turn on the machine every 8 hours.Then Wu Xiaoqing set off.

Following the prompts in the glasses of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing found the horse trading market here.

He still remembers the secrets of watching horses that the equestrian coach told him, such as looking at the teeth of the horse, how sensitive it feels after riding, and feeling the temper of the horse... Although it is only a three-day surprise study, it is also the earth of the 21st century. This knowledge is enough for Wu Xiaoqing to show exceptional professionalism here.

The market is very small. There are only a dozen merchants and more than 20 horses in total. This is all the goods in a small town.

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the horses one by one, and concluded that none of them were very good.Most of the horses sold here are for civilian use. They look big and strong, but after riding them, they are very slow to respond.It may be a good and reliable helper to pull goods or do farm work, but it is used to escape... Anyway, Wu Xiaoqing dare not entrust his life to them.

"War horse, war horse, this is not a war horse." Wu Xiaoqing emphasized his demand to a businessman who thought it was a dissatisfied price.

"All the war horses have been requisitioned by xx for the purpose of holy war," said the merchant. "If you must buy them, you can only visit the lord. There must be no shortage of war horses in his stable."

Wu Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, if he really wanted to deal with the lord, then Shen Changwen had to do it.

Just when he picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to speak, he saw two soldiers in armor walking up the main road of the market. The armor on their bodies had two circles with a smaller upper part and a larger lower one. The search and rescue team told Wu Xiaoqing that this It is the symbol of the Xiaoyang Sect. If this symbol appears on a soldier's armor, it means that the soldier was selected to participate in the Holy War.

The two soldiers came over and seemed to know one of the merchants and were talking to the merchant. The merchant looked towards Wu Xiaoqing almost subconsciously.

Wu Xiaoqing immediately realized that he must have come to sell horses.

He walked over, and the two sides seemed to be still negotiating the price. The businessman was afraid that Wu Xiaoqing would contact the seller directly, so he kept his body in front of Wu Xiaoqing's eyes, and said to the two sellers at the same time: "11 gold coins, it can't be higher. "

The seller's two soldiers frowned, and seemed dissatisfied with the price. They led the horse and wanted to leave again. The merchant looked at Wu Xiaoqing, then at the horse, and chased after him, saying, "12 gold coins."

It's a pity that 12 gold coins didn't make the soldiers change their minds.

According to the market price that Wu Xiaoqing heard from Shen Changwen before, 12 gold coins can buy a first-line war horse.

The two soldiers went to other merchants to inquire about the price, and the price they got was 14 gold coins at most-this shows that this horse does have the potential to surpass the first-line, but even if it is 14 gold coins, the two soldiers are not satisfied. What he said was that at least 20 gold coins would be sold. For those merchants, this was a sky-high price. If it was an ordinary horse, they could buy half a dozen and still have more.

Because of language problems, Wu Xiaoqing was always inconvenient to go up and ask directly, but after they asked in circles, the search and rescue team had almost mastered the terminology for negotiating prices, so Wu Xiaoqing naturally gained confidence.

He first went up, asked the search and rescue team to say hello to the two, and then asked to see the horse.

The two looked at Wu Xiaoqing's attire and nodded in agreement.

Wu Xiaoqing rode his horse and walked around the market, then came down, took out three glass beads from his arms, and asked the search and rescue team to ask the two, "Is it okay to use these three crystal beads as 20 gold coins?"

All the businessmen around gathered around, staring intently at the three beads worth a total of 6 cents.Someone seemed to be sensitively aware of the profit, and offered to exchange the bead back on the spot - but the person who said this did not bring cash, so he wanted to go back and get it.

The two soldiers couldn't figure out the price of these unfamiliar beads, they just thought they were pretty, but they didn't dare to make a decision just because they looked good.Seeing that they were not impressed, Wu Xiaoqing took the glass beads back and took out three cultured pearls. Pearls were relatively common in ancient times, and they were a luxury that ordinary people could understand.

Everyone was amazed, and Wu Xiaoqing heard the two businessmen behind him swallowing their saliva continuously, as if they were breathing rapidly.Wu Xiaoqing carefully discussed with the two sellers: "Is it okay to exchange these three pearls for this horse?" In public, they actually wanted to use these tens of dollars to exchange those horses in the racecourse that were said to be worth hundreds of thousands.

The two soldiers looked at each other, and they both understood that pearls of this size were hard to see even on the Countess's jewelry.But they still dare not accept it, because what they need is only gold coins. In their cognition, they only know that gold coins are of great value, but pearls are beyond their understanding.Although at this time, the businessmen around were urging the two to conclude the deal as soon as possible, and they even promised to bring the gold coins over immediately.

But the two soldiers seemed to bite to death, they only recognized gold.

One of them asked Wu Xiaoqing: "My lord, don't you have some gold coins with you? We need some gold coins urgently, even if it is cheaper, 19 gold coins would be fine."

Wu Xiaoqing has three gold coins, but this is far from enough.And he was also afraid, and he didn't dare to spend casually.In Wu Xiaoqing's subconscious mind, he still wanted to use these worthless things first, and only use gold when it was critical.

So he planned to make one last attempt, took back the pearls, and took out Shen Changwen from his trouser pocket. When setting the price, he explained the most precious substitute—a clear, blood-red one the size of a thumbnail, worth Artificial rubies of hundreds of RMB.

This time, the entire market fell silent, and the merchants exchanged opinions quickly with their eyes, and then someone among them suddenly shouted: "My lord, I am willing to offer 25 gold coins, please wait a little bit patiently." , I'll go home and get the money!"

"I'm willing to give 30 coins! Me too, I'll go back and get the money."

"35 pieces..."

"32, my house is the closest!"

All the merchants got on the horses they sold, and went back desperately to get the money. Soon, there were only a few spectators and two surprised soldiers who didn't know what to do.

Everyone around is persuading them to accept it, and then resell it to those merchants, and they can make double the money in a blink of an eye.

Both of them couldn't help looking towards the entrance of the market, as if they were watching whether the merchants would come back with gold coins.

Wu Xiaoqing had no choice but to wait with them in place.

It took only 3 minutes, and the first businessman was panting at the gate of the market, shaking his huge money bag and shouting: "28 coins, I arrived first!"

Then he stretched out his hand while panting, and trotted straight in the direction of Wu Xiaoqing.

The two soldiers quickly exchanged glances, and the one who had been holding the horse all the time put the horse's reins and whip into Wu Xiaoqing's hands and said, "As long as you want, it's yours now, my lord."

Wu Xiaoqing smiled, knowing their plan, but he had no intention of earning these ten gold coins here, so he stuffed the gem in his hand into the other party's hand, and the voice of the search and rescue team replied through the loudspeaker: "It's yours too. Yes, the deal is done, sir."

Then, merchants arrived one after another, and some even pooled their money together to buy gems.

However, at this time, the owner of the gem is no longer Wu Xiaoqing. With a smile and pride on his face, its new owner held it up high, and then said to all the merchants: "Gentlemen, which one of you is paying the highest price now? This jewel belongs to someone, and the reserve price is 25 gold coins."

The crowd of onlookers gradually surrounded the auction site, and Wu Xiaoqing was squeezed out of the crowd unconsciously, but he didn't care about it, and he didn't care about the movement inside. On the way, according to what the equestrian teacher said, I gently stroked the horse's mane and back, and I got acquainted with the horse.It took another silver coin to buy a large bag of horse feed from nearby.After feeding his new partner a few mouthfuls and making sure that he was in a good mood, he turned over and rode on.

"Drive!" Wu Xiaoqing gently urged his new partner. The horse that was jogging brought a breeze, which made Wu Xiaoqing feel very comfortable. Even the smell of feces all over the street was no longer so unbearable to him.

The auction is still going on at this moment, and the price has already reached 48 pieces. People from half the city are attracted to watch the myth of these two lucky soldiers getting rich overnight.

Wu Xiaoqing, who just ran out of the city gate, didn't know that from this moment on, his story had already started to spread in this strange land.
