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

Chapter 795 780 Four: The Three Brothers Put a Deposit

Duan Wuji and the others bid farewell to Li Shimin and ran all the way southwest.

It is the season of early summer at this time, and the further south you go, the hotter the weather will be!

Three days later, the three of them entered the territory of Sichuan.

It's rainy in Sichuan, and the roads are really muddy and difficult!

No matter how difficult this road is, you have to hurry forward desperately!

So what if we don't move forward!

After four or five days of trekking, the three of them finally arrived at the border of the Great Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the road became relatively easy to walk.

Duan Wuji looked at his two elder brothers and said: "The road in Sichuan is really difficult!

We have visited quite a few places in the Tang Dynasty, and we have never seen such a difficult road like Sichuan!

Now we are about to reach the border of our country. If we go further southwest, we should enter the Tupan country.

Once you enter the Tupan country, as the terrain rises, the day will cool down immediately.

Brothers, once we enter the Tupan Kingdom, the three of us must be more vigilant!

Only if the three of us raise our vigilance, we won't be in any danger. "

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Hmm! What you said is really reasonable. It is indeed the case. In this Tupan country, where there are many people, there is hostility from the Tupan people.

A place without people, and the threat of wolves, tigers and leopards, if we are not careful, the three of us may die!

Let me tell you, once we leave the border of our Tang Dynasty, let's wear all the snakeskin armor on our bodies.

If there is any danger, we can deal with it easily!

well!I said, two virtuous brothers, do you all carry fire scythes with you? "

Tie Niu grinned.

"Brother Chai, look at what you asked, it's the first time for us two brothers to come to this place, can we forget to bring that thing?
Without that, how would we survive?
I believe all three of us have brought this thing with us?
Of the three of us, is there anyone who doesn't have a long memory?

Alright, let's hurry forward, we have already entered the capital of the Turpan Kingdom, so we can make contributions to put down the rebellion! "

After Jing Tieniu said this, Chai Shao and Duan Wuji didn't make any more noises, and the three of them rode all the way to the border line.

When passing the customs, the three of them found a small inn two or three times away from the border and stayed.

They planned to take a good rest and go on their way again the next day.

There were no people in the inn. Due to the civil strife in Tubo, many people who went to do business in Tubo were killed. Therefore, there were almost no people who went to do business in Tubo.

The whole inn became deserted.

The owner of the inn was worried, but he was very happy when he saw three guests on tall horses coming in.

The proprietor and the clerk of the inn were very courteous to the three men.

"I'm talking about three honored guests. The store now has the best guest room and the best food. Please tell me what level of service you need!"

Chai Shao said with a smile: "I said buddy, you can feed our horses with good grass and materials first, the three of us can only live in one room, and we want to live in the best room.

As for the food, you can give us whatever you want, the three of us are not afraid of spending more money. "

The shopkeeper was very happy when he heard that.

"Three guest officers, if this is the case, then you wait, the service of the shop will definitely satisfy you!
Dude, you feed their horses up first. "

The clerk agreed and went out, and the shopkeeper personally brought tea to them, and the three of them drank tea while quietly waiting for their meal.

It didn't take long, and a table of meals was served. There were more than a dozen meat and vegetable dishes on this table.

The three chatted quietly while eating, and when the three were full, the staff led them into the best room to rest.

In the morning of the next day, all three of them put on the snakeskin armor. After breakfast, they settled the bills and set off.

The three of them went through the relevant formalities at the pass, and then went straight to the Turpan Kingdom.

Due to the war in the Tupan country, the country has become even more depressed, and people's activities have been greatly reduced because they are worried about what accidents will happen when they go out.

The three of them rode their horses all the way, and almost never met many locals on the road.

Every time Duan Wuji and the others met the locals in Tupan, they would buy food from them in time, and then continue on their way.

Along the way, those who lived in the wind and slept in the open, the conditions were extremely difficult.

Fortunately, they have been to Tupan Kingdom many times, and they know where to stay and where to get food, so there are not too many difficulties on the road, and the road is relatively safe.

After five or six days of traveling, Duan Wuji and the others finally broke through the first line of sky and entered the belly of Tupan Kingdom.

This is the most affluent place in the Tupan Kingdom, and it is also a place with more people and more supplies.

After the three of them entered the dam, they ran straight to the house of the big serf owner Zabeshi.

The three came to the gate of Zabashi's house and got off their horses. Duan Wuji clasped his fists at the warriors watching the gate.

"Hey! Any one of you should go in and make an announcement. Just say that Duan Wuji from the Tang Dynasty is coming, tell him to come out and greet him quickly."

Duan Wuji and the others have been here many times before, and the warriors who guard the gate all know them, and they also know that they got along very well with Mr. Zabasi in the past.

A samurai guarding the gate quickly said: "You guys wait at this gate for a while!
I will go in and report to you immediately. "

After speaking, the warrior turned and walked straight to the gate.

Not too long later, Zabbasi followed the samurai guarding the door to pick him up from inside.

"My guests from afar, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?

I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much!

Let's go, follow me in quickly, if you have anything to say, let's come in and talk slowly! "

Zabbasi winked at several warriors, and they immediately ran over knowingly, and led Duan Wuji and the three of them away by their horses.

The three of them followed Zabbasi to the reception room.

After entering the reception room, the four of them sat down as guests and hosts.

Zabbasi ordered someone to bring up the freshly brewed milk tea.

"Three old friends, you are here for the first time, let's not talk about anything else, let's drink a bowl of milk tea to warm up."

The four were drinking milk tea while talking about the past.

Zha Bashi looked at the three people and said: "My guests from afar, it's been more than a year, why haven't you shown your face.

What the hell is this for. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Old Zabashi, to tell you the truth, there was a turmoil in our country a while ago.

There has been a serious conflict between the Northern Han Kingdom in the north and our country, and we have to put down that traitor!

Doesn't it all take time? We'll have time to go out after we've put down that traitor! "

"Oh! So it is!

Then how long will it take for you to help our country put down this rebellion in our country? "

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Who dares to say this!

Maybe a few months, maybe a few years, depending on the severity of the situation.

We haven't reached the capital yet, so we can't say for sure about this! "

When Master Zabbasi heard what Duan Wuji said, he also thought what Duan Wuji said was also reasonable, so he didn't say anything more.

After drinking two bowls of milk tea, Zabbasi looked at Duan Wuji and the three of them suddenly asked: "I said three distinguished guests from afar, are you still buying Cordyceps or not?

Can you tell me about this! "

Duan Wuji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Why, does Master Zabashi have a source of goods in hand now?"

"Of course, if there is no fate, who would inquire about this!"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Then why didn't you sell them in advance!

Isn't this new Cordyceps coming down soon? "

"Sell it? It's so easy to sell!

Once this country is unstable, who do you think will care about this! "

Since Tianzhu Kingdom supported the anti-king Pu Tashi in the south, the eldest prince hated those people from Tianzhu Kingdom to the core, and he killed every one he saw!

There are countless businessmen in the Zhu Kingdom who have been killed by him!

You said that once he killed the businessman from Tianzhu country, how could the businessman from Tianzhu country dare to come here again!

If those people don't come, those who do business will almost disappear!

Ouch!This will worry the serf owners in the places where the Chinese caterpillar fungus is produced. Now they really have the goods and can't sell them. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"The three of us came to your country this time mainly to help your country put down the rebellion.

As for the matter of buying Cordyceps, as long as the price of your Cordyceps is more reasonable in the future, then we can get some back by the way.

If you're still slow to ask for a price, then we'll go back empty-handed, it's nothing to worry about. "

"I'm talking about a distinguished customer from afar, this Cordyceps can't be sold at all now, why do you think I dare to exorbitant prices.

If you still want my Cordyceps, I can assure you that the price will not be higher than before.

Now our country is in a difficult time, our king is soliciting money and personnel from us serf owners in the east!

It makes us miserable, but we dare to be angry but dare not speak up!
I said three old friends, can you give me a deposit in advance?If you put me a little deposit in advance, then I will have a solid foundation in my heart.

This can also alleviate my immediate difficulties. If I harvest the Cordyceps until today, I will collect them and sell them to you at a low price. Do you think this will work! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Master Zabbasi, if that's the case, then we'll put down a deposit for you tomorrow.

In this way, both of us have a solid foundation. "

When Zabbasi heard the Coke broke.

"Then I would like to thank you first, since this is the case, then you should rest first.

I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare some food. I'll serve you wine later! "

After speaking, Zabbasi turned and went out.

Only Duan Wuji and the others were left in the room.

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Brother, how much deposit do you think we should give him?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "We originally bought this gold for Cordyceps, and it's tiring for us to carry it on our backs all day long.

In my opinion, it would be much easier for the three of us to put down 30 gold bricks for each of us.

Brother Chai, what do you say! "

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"I think it's okay. Sooner or later, it's someone else's gold. What are we doing with it?"

The matter was agreed upon in this way, and when the time was short, Naza Brazil came in again.

The four of them sat together and chatted for a while, and then the dinner was served. Zabbasi ate dinner with the three of them, and then ordered someone to lead them to the courtyard to the west to rest.

The next morning, after Duan Wuji and the others had breakfast, Duan Wuji put the 90 yuan gold bricks that the three of them made up on the table.

When Zabashi saw it, his eyes were straightened!

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Master Zabbasi, this is the deposit we paid you for buying Cordyceps, you can check it out and accept it.

This is ninety catties of gold, you can weigh it if you are optimistic about it. "

Hearing what Duan Wuji said, Zabbasi came back to his senses.

Zabbasi picked up each gold brick and looked at them carefully, the joy was already overflowing on his face.

Zabbasi looked at it, touched it, and bit it gently with his teeth!

It wasn't until he thought that there was nothing wrong with it that Zabbasi took his title.

Zabbasi weighed the gold one by one, until there was no problem at all, then Zabbasi put away all the gold.

Thashi hid all the gold away, and then walked back.

"I said three honored guests from afar, now I am completely relieved.

The arrival of the three of you has brought good luck to Zabbasi again.

You guys just rest with me for a day before going to Beijing.

I'll take the three of you there tomorrow. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Master Zabbasi, thank you for your kindness, you don't have to send us off, it's not that we don't know the way, the three of us can go by ourselves, why bother you.

You rest, let's go now! "

Zabbasi became anxious when he heard this.

"I'm talking about three honored guests from afar. You pass through my territory, but I don't send you to Beijing. Once the old king blames me, I won't have any good fruit to eat.

Since the three of you insist on leaving today, I think I'd better send you to Beijing in person. "

Saying that, Zabbasi also walked out of the room.

Zabbasi said to the servant in the yard: "Go and tell them to bring our horses here, and I will personally send them to Beijing."

The servant promised to turn around and leave. After a while, the horses of several people were led over.

The four people led the horses out of the yard, then got on the horses, and immediately rode the horses to the west, went straight to the capital city and galloped down.
