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

Chapter 167 Chapter 170
The caravan stayed in the courtyard of Yelv Sidu's house all night, and at dawn the next day, Duan Wuji led his brothers to get up early.

Everyone stretched their muscles and bones in the yard for a while, and were about to go out for a walk when Nayelu Chucai pushed the door and came out.

Yelu Chucai greeted people with a smile.

"Everyone, you got up really early! Guys, don't go out for a walk, I'll go out and find someone right away, and we'll order some goods in a little while. Just wait for a while."

Duan Wuji smiled and nodded.

"Okay, Young Master Yelv Chucai, you can go. Let's wake up our people later. If there are many people, we will finish counting the goods in a short while."

Yelu Chucai walked out of the yard quickly, Duan Wuji said to his brothers: "Wake up all of us, let's count the goods in a while, let's figure it out early today, and leave this place as soon as possible. The Turkic country is better. I always feel uneasy staying in this poor place.

It also prevents Ye Changmeng from having any more demon moths. "

Tieniu and his brothers listened and went to call their staff one by one. After a short time, all the staff got up. Since everyone was not very tired, they were all quite energetic.

Duan Wuji ordered: "Quickly remove all the horse poles, remove all the tarpaulins on the cart, and we will start unloading the goods in a while. If you have figured it out, let's leave early!"

Everyone got busy immediately after hearing this.

In a short time, Yelusi led seven or eight young Turkic people in. Duan Wuji gave the cargo list to Yelu Chucai, and then directed the people to start unloading the cargo. There were about a hundred people unloading the cargo. , The speed of unloading and ordering goods is very fast.

In just one hour, all the goods were counted.

Duan Wuji looked at Yelu Chucai and said: "Brother, yesterday your father promised to give me two cows, you also know about it, you can go and lead the cows for me now, bring the cows here so that I can send these carriages away let's go."

Yelu Chucai nodded.

"Well, brother, you wait here, I'll get you some cows, and I'll be back in a little while."

After finishing speaking, the chat Lv Chucai turned around and went out.

At this moment, Na Yelusi stepped out of the main room.

"Wuji, can your cargo be unloaded fast enough, and it will be unloaded in such a short while?

Well, that's pretty fast. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What's the matter? Isn't it just such a small amount of goods? It's better to find out earlier.

Old man, I will send away these dozens of carriages in a short time. Old man, I have a small matter to discuss with you. Can the owners of these carriages bring some cooked meat from you? "

Yelusi laughed and said, "What am I supposed to do? So that's what it is? Well, no problem. People with a stutter should be on the road. After dinner, let them take it with them. Our Dayuan It can’t compare to your Han land, your place is full of restaurants, and we can’t find food for hundreds of miles in this place, how can we live without eating in this world of ice and snow?”

Not long after, Yelu Chucai led two fat oxen into the room.

Yelu Chucai looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you think of these two cows? These cows are fat enough."

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Thank you brother Yelu Chucai, next time I will definitely bring you some porcelain to thank you for your kindness."

Yelu Chucai laughed and said: "Brother, don't forget next time, we Turkic people can admit death!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Yelu, don't worry, I will never forget this matter, I, Duan Wuji, always keep my word and act resolutely."

In the short time, breakfast was brought out by two maids, and everyone was eating finger meat in the yard. In a short time, all the staff were full.

Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the car and said: "Now you have nothing to do, I think you should go back as soon as possible.

You can take some cooked meat in the basin and eat it on the road. I wish you a safe journey! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the car and said, "Who is willing to take my two cows to the Great Wall Pass?"

Two of the car owners said: "Mr. Duan, you can leave this matter to us. We are willing to help. Let's put the two cows on the car and let you pass."

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Okay, then you all go to the car to lead the cows now."

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu and Duan Changqing: "Hurry up and get all the money bags you brought over, let's pay the fare first."

After hearing this, the two people immediately ran into the house and took out the money bag they were holding.

Duan Wuji opened the silver bag and handed it out according to the standard of 50 taels for each car. Afterwards, Duan Wuji took out another ten taels of silver and handed it over to the two car owners who brought cattle to him.

"You two, I won't let you carry the cattle for free. The ten taels of silver are your rewards. Take it. Five taels per person!"

The two were very happy when they saw it. They didn't expect to make a small fortune when they went back. The two packed up the money, drove the carriage and followed the team and left happily.

Duan Wuji looked at the silver bag, and saw that there were only more than 300 taels of silver left in the bag. Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Now it's easy, and you don't have to hold it hard anymore."

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Wuji, is this money enough? I still have a few dozen taels of silver on me."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "This amount of silver is about the same. I also have a few dozen taels of scattered silver on me. I believe there should be no problem."

Duan Wuji wrapped up the money, Niu turned around and said to Yelusi: "Master, hurry up and ask the cook to get another two big pots of cooked meat, we have to eat some on the way!"

Yelusi laughed and said, "What's the problem! Chu Cai, tell the cook to bring out the meat quickly, and let them bring enough."

Yelu Chucai Cen Ying ran in, and after a short while, two large bowls of cooked meat were brought out.

Duan Wuji saw it and shouted loudly: "Everyone bring enough cooked meat! We won't have anything to eat in a short time! You can't blame me if you are hungry!"

After hearing this, everyone opened their bags and wrapped the meat inside. The meat in the two big pots was not enough.

The cook brought out another two big pots of meat, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu each packed more than ten catties.

When everything was ready, Duan Wugao shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's pick up the driving poles on the ground, and let's drive the horses."

Duan Wuji pointed to the dead wolves on the ground and said to Yelusi: "Master, these are the wolves we hunted on the grass on the way here. You can eat wolf meat as you please, we don't want these things. gone."

Yelusi laughed.

"Wuji, thank you, I didn't expect you to have this hobby! Well, these old wolves will accept it."

Duan Wuji looked at Yelu Chucai and said: "Brother Yelu, let's go, let's pick a horse now."

After hearing this, Yelu Chucai got on his horse.

"Let's go, gentlemen. Let me pick the horses."

Led by Duan Wuji and Tie Niu, the people took their poles and mounted their horses and headed straight to the horse farm in the northwest of the settlement.

When I arrived at the racecourse, I saw, ho!I saw that thousands of fine horses were fenced in three large horse farms, and these horses were neighing and running in the fence.

Yelu Chucai looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brothers, there are thousands of horses in my three enclosures. You can pick them out. You can go on the road today after picking them."

Seeing this, Duan Wuji ordered loudly: "Let's take this stable as our basic stable. Brother Yelu, send your men to follow. We will point to the horse with a pole. This horse is the one we don't want." , you guys get it out."

Duan Wuji took a horse driving pole from one of the guards, and Niutou said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's go in and pick out bad horses, others are really not good at doing this."

Tie Niu also took a horse-driving pole and followed Duan Wuji into the stable. The two used the horse-driving pole to pick out the bad horses. Each of them used the pole to point to one horse. The Turkic man brought by Yelu Chucai I got the horse out, and the selection of horses went very smoothly. After a while, the selection of horses in this circle was finished.

Then the two entered another stable to pick horses, and within an hour, all the horses in the three stables were picked.

Then Duan Wuji, Tie Niu and Yelu Zhucai began to count the number of horses in the stables, and they counted a total of 97 horses.

Seeing this, Yelu Chucai smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you make up the number of those bad horses you picked out just now?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Brother Yelu, forget it, three horses short of three horses, that's enough, why more horses and less horses? That's enough, that's all.

Brother Yelu, next time I will leave the task of picking a horse to you, you have to pick a horse for me! "

Yelu Chuwu listened and nodded.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely handle this job well for you, and I will definitely not mess it up for you."

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changqing and his three brothers and said: "You three, find out the top horse in the three stables, put your saddle on this horse, and then let's go quickly."

Duan Changqing frowned upon hearing this.

"Looking for a winning horse? How do you find it?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What's so difficult about it? Let me find out the top horse in this circle for you. You should take a good look at it."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji jumped into the horse pen, and the horses ran away immediately after being frightened.I saw a bay red horse running in the lead, Duan Wuji took a good look at it and waited for the red horse to run not far away, Duan Wuji stepped hard, and a goshawk chasing a rabbit chased after the red horse.

Duan Wuji came to the side of the red horse in an instant, grabbed the horse's mane and jumped up, the horse didn't do it when he saw it, the horse kicked and bit and kicked in the stable.

Trying every means to get Duan Wuji off the horse.

Duan Wuji sat on the horse's back with a smile and let the horse toss around desperately. After a while, the horse got tired of tossing. no more.

Duan Wuji shouted loudly towards the outside: "What are you waiting for if you haven't brought the saddle in?"

After hearing this, Duan Changhao immediately took off his saddle and ran in, put on the saddle three times, and Duan Wuji handed the horse to Duan Changhao.

"Brother Changhao, you should pay more attention when riding this horse, it's a real bastard!"

Duan Changhao smiled.

"Brother, don't worry, it won't lose anything crooked."

Duan Wuji laughed, and a roc spread its wings and jumped out from the stable.

I saw that Tie Niu caught the leading horse from another stable and handed it to Duan Changhong, and Duan Changqing also caught the leading horse from another stable.

As soon as Duan Wuji saw that everything was done, he immediately shouted to the other guards: "Brothers, take the horse pole and get on the horse quickly, let's set off right away.

Brother Yelu, please open the three fences, we are leaving now, see you later. "

When Yelu Chucai heard this, he immediately ordered someone to open the stables, and the horses followed the lead horse and ran out.

More than 40 guards rushed forward with horse poles and kept pounding the horses.

Seeing this, Yelu Chucai shouted loudly: "Brother Wuji, I wish you all the best of luck. Let's meet again in the future."

"Okay, we will meet later, brother, let's go."

At this time, the sun had just set to the west, and the horses of the brigade were slowly marching towards the southwest under the driving of the crowd. The horses became more and more familiar, and the speed of the horses was getting faster and faster.

Tieniu was leading the way, while Duan Wuji was riding a horse at the end.
