The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 122 Chapter 120

An hour later, the brigade returned to the Qingcaotan settlement. Duan Wuji and Tieniu rushed into the courtyard of Nayelu Sidu's house, and saw that everything was normal and nothing happened. Only when my heart is relieved.

The two men tied up their horses, and immediately reduced the number of people on duty to four, and the others went back to the house to rest.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu rushed into the main room, first poured two bowls of tea and drank it first, after a short time, Yelusi led his three sons and came in from the outside.

Now this Yelusdu is beautiful, with a smile all over his face. After the victory of the alliance between the two cities, the Yelusdu family is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Yelusi looked at his three sons and said, "We have finally won this alliance, and now our settlements in Qingcaotan can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and we no longer have to pay horses, cattle and sheep to the Golden Horse City." Well, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, we can still get the gift from the Golden Horse City, so we can count it as a gift.

However, the reason why we can win this time is all because of the help of these two Han family brothers, otherwise we will not be able to win this alliance.

Tomorrow, the three of you hurry up and help me choose horses for them. They have been coming to our house for several days, and we can't just drag them along in this matter! "

Yelu Hengtong nodded after listening.

"Father, we know, the three of us will pick horses for them tomorrow, and try to complete the deal in one day."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were very happy when they heard this.

Duan Wuji looked at Yelu Sidu and his son and said: "This alliance has been successfully concluded, and our business may be smoother in the future.

Old man, let's take advantage of the grass shortage season after the Spring Festival to buy more horses. After you buy the horses, can you send someone to contact us?

Old man, you also know that it is not 01:30 to make money from doing business faster than raising horses!In a few years, all of us will be rich.

Can the two countries trade with each other to fully meet the daily needs of the two peoples? "

Yelusi laughed out loud.

"Wuji, what you said is very good. I can't control such a big matter of the country, but doing business to make myself rich is a real thing.

Okay, this time I will listen to you. I will buy a batch of horses in the next year when the grass is barren. At that time, we will go to the inland and make a fortune together.

Somia, Somia.... "

The cook ran in from the outside when she heard the sound.

"Master Yelu, what's the matter?"

Yelusi looked at his cook and said with a smile: "Today we won the alliance, you can get some more dishes tonight, we should have a good celebration, and the people outside will get them some more dishes." Let's cook, let them improve their lives."

The cook promised and turned around and left.

Yelusi picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for everyone, and then they chatted while drinking tea.

Suddenly, the Turkic man who was watching the door ran in.

"Master Yelu Sidu, there are eight or nine herdsmen looking for you outside the door."

Yelusi laughed and said, "Since someone is looking for me, why don't you invite them in quickly?"

The guard ran out immediately after hearing this.

Not long after, a group of Turkic people walked into the house.

"Master Yelu Sidu, this meeting of the alliance has successfully concluded, and the goods of these two Han family brothers have been brought in for several days! When are we going to start bartering?"

Yelusi laughed out loud.

"Well, you guys go back first. How about we trade the day after tomorrow? We still have some important things to do tomorrow."

These Turkic people were very happy when they heard this.

"Okay! Master Yelu Sidu, let's make a deal, and we will come to you the day after tomorrow.

Then we will go back today. "

After speaking, several Turkic people turned and left.

Yelusi looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and laughed.

"Wuji, Tieniu, your loans are really in demand. We haven't placed an order yet. You see, this business has come to you. This is a good sign!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Old man, isn't that good? I wish you a fortune."

After hearing this, Yelu Chucai laughed and said, "If you have money, should everyone distribute it together? What's wrong with that?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old man, Yelu saves money, you can transport these goods to Jinma City, so maybe you can make a lot of money!"

Yelusi laughed after hearing this: "Well, Wuji, your idea is not bad, I'll give it a try after a while."

At this moment, the cook brought up the grilled beef, and then the cook brought up several other vegetarian dishes.

Yelusi looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Hengtong, bring our kumiss to two jars, come, let's drink a few bowls of him for today's alliance victory."

After hearing this, Yelu Hengtong immediately ran into the back room, and brought out two jars of wine from the back room before long.

Yelu Hengxing immediately filled several large bowls with wine.

A few people ate cooked beef while drinking wine. There was not much time, and a few people were full.

Duan Wuji and Niu Tie stood up, then cupped their hands at Yelu and his son.

"Old man, you are chatting, let's go back to the house to rest first, see you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tieniu turned and went back to their own room.

The next morning, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early, and they ran around the settlement three times before returning.

After breakfast, Yelusi looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said, "You two brothers from the Han family, let's unload all these goods this morning and count them.

Heng Tong and Heng Xing have already gone out to pick horses for you. "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Okay, old man. We've already eaten the meal, now let's start counting the goods."

Duan Wuji, Tieniu, Yelusi and Yelu Chucai immediately came to the yard, and Tieniu called out all the people who were resting in the house.

Everyone was busy with the goods, and the goods were counted and moved into the house. After two hours, all the goods were counted.

Yelu Sidu said to Yelu Chucai: "Go and help your brother and the others choose horses now. After the selection is over, it will be cleared early."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old man, can you give us the twenty sheep you promised us today first!

We intend to take the carriage home today. "

Yelusi laughed loudly after hearing this: "That's no problem, Yelu saves money, go, get [-] fat sheep from outside the town first, and let these carriages take all [-] sheep away today. This sheep walks slowly on the road, and it is not easy to take it with the horse on the road."

After hearing this, Yelu Chucai rode out immediately, and within a short time, Yelu Chucai drove twenty sheep and came in.

Duan Wuji glanced at the car owners and said with a smile: "Which one of you is willing to take these sheep back to me?"

Several car owners looked at each other, and five of them said: "Master Duan, we are willing to take these few sheep back to you, but I don't know where to send the twenty sheep to you?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "You can send these twenty sheep to my home. My home is Duanjiazhuang in the west of Taiyuan City. Do you remember?"

Several car owners nodded.

"Young Master Duan, don't worry, we all remember this matter, we drove to this village before, don't worry, we will definitely bring the sheep back to you."

Duan Wuji slipped out the silver bag from the house, and handed it out according to the standard of 50 taels per car.Then he took out 20 taels of silver and distributed them to the five car owners who pulled the sheep.

"Guys, you bring me sheep, I won't let you do it for nothing, these few taels of silver can be regarded as the fare I give you."

The five car owners were overjoyed when they heard that. They didn't expect to get a small fortune after going back. This small fortune is enough to improve their lives for a year.

Duan Wuji brought out a large plate of cooked beef from the kitchen and distributed it to everyone.Duan Wuji looked at the car owners and said: "It's still early, I think you should hurry up and get on the road. It's safer to drive on the prairie at night."

Several people wrapped up the silver and packed it up, and then wrapped up the cooked beef and put it on the car.Afterwards, several carriage owners got into the carriage, put twenty sheep on the carriage and fastened them, and immediately coaxed the carriage out of the yard.

Duan Wuji watched the cars go away, and immediately turned around and walked back.Duan Wuji looked at the staff who followed him and said: "Now we have nothing to do, and we don't have to be on duty. Everyone, go back to the house and sleep. After the horse is picked out, we will coax it back overnight."

After hearing this, everyone immediately went back to the house to sleep, and everyone knew that a dangerous task was coming soon.If you don't have enough physical strength, you will have to wait for death.

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said: "Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's go into the house to practice for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do today."

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

The two of them walked into the room, and immediately began to meditate with their legs crossed.

When the sun was setting, Duan Wuji and Tieniu just finished their training, and it was not long before Yelu Hengtong, Yelu Hengxing, and Yelu Chucai came back from outside on horseback.

When Duan Wuji saw him, he hurriedly asked, "Hey, have you selected all the horses for today?"

Yelu Hengtong laughed and said, "It's all done. The horses are grazing in the pasture now. We can take you to inspect the goods tomorrow morning and we can coax the horses back."

Duan Wuji was very happy when he heard that, now he can make a small profit by coaxing the horse back.

After dinner, Duan Wuji, Tie Niu and the others rested early.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji, Tie Niu and the others had breakfast, and after packing up their things, they immediately followed Yelu Sidu and his son to the racecourse.

This horse farm is in the west mountain col of the town, and everyone rushed to the stables to have a look, and saw that all the horses were fat and strong.

Yelusi pointed to the horses in the stables and said to Duan Wuji: "Wuji, these are your horses. You can count them. There are a total of 590 horses, even the 280 horses you won in the alliance. It's inside, let's see for yourself."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji waved his hand to everyone, and the group of people who came with him immediately helped to see the count, time was short, everyone came back and reported: "Mr. Duan, this horse is just right, and there are not many horses."

Just as Duan Wuji was about to bang his horse to leave, Yelu Chucai walked over.

"Wuji, Tie Niu, go slowly, today I found ten herdsmen, we will send you off today, with us seeing you off, it is absolutely safe on this prairie.

After all, we are all herdsmen. We are better than you at how to steer animals. If we want to send them off, you can rest assured along the way. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother Yelu Chucai, I would like to thank you very much. When I come next time, I will definitely bring you a cart of good things that we don't have on this big grass to thank you."

Yelu Chucai laughed when he heard that.

"If that's the case, brother, I'll thank you first, brother, I hope you don't forget what you said next time you come here!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Don't worry, how can I forget about this?"

Yelu Chucai yelled at the tent, and ten young Turkic men came out of the tent immediately.

Yelu Chucai shouted at Yelu Hengtong: "Brother, bring over the twenty cows prepared for them, and we'll be on our way right away."

Yelu Hengtong came to the back hillside on horseback, and drove over twenty cows in a short time.

Yelu Chucai opened the fence, and the horses ran out immediately, and each of the ten herdsmen handed Duan Wuji and the others a horse-bombing pole, and then they drove the horses and the cattle slowly towards the Sui border.
