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

Chapter 810 Chapter 790 Nine: Cockroach Grass, the Three Brothers Return to China

After Zabbasi left, Tie Niu looked at Duan Wuji and said with a wry smile: "We didn't even eat lunch this afternoon, when did we have this meal!

This is speaking out of conscience, but this stomach will not agree.

Brother, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm not allowed to eat! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao pulled the iron bull with his hand.

"Brother, don't say a few words!
The three of us didn't eat, it's not like you don't know about it, our brother doesn't let us eat here, of course there is his reason.

The three of us now have a lot of yellow and white things. If Zabbasi injects us with some poison or something, and after we eat it, he will kill the three of us again, wouldn't it be the end of it? "

When Tieniu heard what Chai Shao said, he lowered his head and stopped making any noise.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Those who are away from home, you need to be careful, otherwise, you will not be too far away from death."

After hearing this, Tieniu opened his mouth twice and didn't dare to say anything more!
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Tonight, the three of us brothers will take turns to be on duty!

It's enough for one person to be on duty for two hours, let's take three rounds to rest!

well!To be honest, it's really uncomfortable not to eat something tonight!

Fortunately, when I came here, I stole some cooked meat from the palace, otherwise, the three of us would be starving. "

As soon as they heard that there was cooked meat to eat, Tieniu and Chai Shao immediately cheered up.

"Brother, you can really do it! If you have cooked meat to eat, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"It's not too late for me to say it now, tell you two brothers, there's not much cooked meat here!

The three of us brothers can share and eat a little bit! "

Duan Wuji untied the bundle from behind and put it on the table, Tie Niu rushed to open the bundle.

I saw that there were indeed a few pieces of cooked meat inside, probably weighing more than a dozen catties.

Tieniu grabbed a piece of meat and gnawed it!

"Hmm! There's really not much meat here, but it's okay to eat half full."

Chai Shao and Duan Wuji were not polite either, they grabbed the meat and ate it too.

In a short time, the three of them finished eating the cooked meat.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "You two go to bed first! I'll be on duty first!

When will I call you, when will you get up again!
I haven't had much to do in the past few days. Anyway, I've had a good rest. I can't do anything even if I'm on duty overnight.

During the day tomorrow, you two just need to spend more snacks. "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, if you want to call me tonight, call me!
I have a rough heart and little resourcefulness, so let our brother arrange the daytime affairs, it is absolutely foolproof if he arranges it.

Let's call it division of labor and cooperation, let's take advantage of each other's strengths! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Chai, if you are on duty at night, you must be more careful.

Don't be careless.

Once we go on a business trip, the three of us can't afford it. "

Chai Shao grinned when he heard this.

"Brother, don't worry.

I'm on duty tonight, it's safe!

Isn't it just to guard such a small amount of goods and pay attention to the personal safety of the three of us!
If I can't even do such a little thing well, then how can I mess around in this society in the future! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Well! That's fine!

Brother Chai, if there is anything wrong, you have to inform our brothers in time.

Although our two brothers are resting in the house, neither of us will take off our clothes.

Once something happened, our two brothers rushed out of the house immediately. "

"I know, I know.

Brothers, don't worry!I'm not that stupid, how could I not even know this!
You guys just go and rest, it's fine if I'm here alone. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu nodded after listening, they turned around and went back to sleep.

Until dawn, Chai Shao didn't call them two brothers!

Duan Wuji and Tieniu got up just after dawn.

Duan Wuji said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, you should rest for a while!

When everything is done, we brothers will call you again! "

Chai Shao turned around and went back to the house.

In a short time, that Zabbasi came over.

"Wuji! I've already had the goods dumped in the yard. Go over and inspect the goods. After the inspection, let's pack the goods into bags instead of weighing them!

We're done with this matter. "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed Zabaxi to the yard of the main house, only to see that the caterpillar fungus had fallen in the yard.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked over, carefully inspecting the quality of the Cordyceps.

Zabbasi saw it and said with a smile: "Wuji, Tie Niu, you can check my stuff casually, there is nothing wrong with my stuff!

Let me tell you that when I collected the Cordyceps, I inspected them bit by bit.

If there is any quality problem, it means that I have not received Cordyceps for so many years. "

Duan Wuji and the others checked carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so the two of them were completely relieved!

"Hmm! The quality is not bad, if that's the case, let's put it in a bag and weigh it!"

When Zabbasi heard Duan Wuji say this, he was overjoyed. He immediately called five or six servants to start packing the bag. After the bag was packed, he ordered the maid at home to sew the bag up.

After everything was tidied up, we began to weigh them. The total weight of these Cordyceps was 840 five kilograms.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I said, Mr. Zabbasi, you simply count these caterpillar fungus as 45 jin, and the [-] jin, simply count it as the weight of the bag."

Zabbasi smiled wryly and said, "There are only dozens of bags, how can they weigh 45 catties?

However, since you have said it all, then I will not compete with you.

It doesn't make sense to have more than ten catties and one less.

You didn't compete with me for the price of the Cordyceps, if I were to compete with you for such a few kilograms of Cordyceps, it would appear that I am too stingy.

Then let's count it as [-] catties!This is also a good way to settle accounts! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "These caterpillar fungus is calculated at 50 taels of silver per catty, which is 9 taels of silver, right? If it is synthesized into gold bricks, it should be 56 gold bricks!

In addition, we will pay you another 400 taels of silver, is that the account! "

"Well! That's not false at all! It is indeed such an account."

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, give him 400 taels of silver from your silver bag!
That silver is too much, can it not be heavy on the back! "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well! All right then!

What you said is indeed such an account! "

Zabbasi said with a smile: "You wait, I'll get you the remaining gold bricks!
I wanted to collect enough Cordyceps for these gold bricks for you.

well!After working hard for a long time, I still haven't reached the amount you charged!

This is really rich and I can't make it even Zabaxi, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable! "

After speaking, Zabbasi shook his head and sighed, and took the remaining gold bricks.

After Zabashi left, Tie Niu opened the silver bag, took out 400 taels of silver and put it on the ground.

Not long enough, Zabbasi came over with a small burden.

"Wuji! These are the gold bricks that you have left. Let's count them!"

Duan Wuji and the others opened the gold bag and saw that the gold bricks inside were exactly 34 pieces, the original gold has not changed at all!

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, please put away all this gold.

Master Zabbasi, the 400 taels of silver on the ground belong to you, so you should count them carefully too!

If there is no problem with the quantity, you can put it away.

In a while, you will bring us five good horses, and give me all these caterpillar fungus on the horses!

In addition, you can get us another thousand catties of feed to pack, and we will leave in a while! "

Zabbasi counted the silver!
"Well! The silver is exactly 400 taels, which is not bad at all!

Then you wait, I will get you the horse and feed immediately, and let them load the horses for you immediately.

Don't worry about these things!
You are my most honored guests here.

I will never let you do these little things yourself. "

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, please wake up Brother Chai!
You two get those horses and goods out of us!
Let them repack for us, and we can go in a little while! "

After hearing this, Tie Niu went straight to the courtyard to the west, and within a short time, Tie Niu and Chai Shao rushed over with their ten horses.

Zabbasi ordered his servant to bring over five horses, and produced more than a dozen bags of feed!

"Wuji, this amount of feed is only a little more than a thousand catties, so you should use it to feed the horses!"

Duan Wuji said to these servants: "I have four thousand catties of goods, and here are fifteen horses in total, and you can load us three hundred catties of goods on each horse.

The horse has less cargo, so the horse runs faster. "

Zabbasi heard this, and shouted to the servants: "Hurry up and load the goods! This thousand catties of feed should be packed on three horses.

For the remaining things, you pack them on the remaining twelve horses! "

The servants are all gone, immediately start reloading the horses!

In a short time, all these things were installed on the horse.

Duan Wuji and the others drove the horses to the gate, and the three of them got on their mounts.

The three of them cupped their hands at Zabbasi.

"Master Zabbasi, we are leaving, let's cooperate again if we have a chance!"

"Wuji, Tieniu, I wish the three of you a safe journey, and go back to your hometown as soon as possible.

If there is a chance, let's cooperate if there is a chance. "

The three of them bid farewell to Zabbasi and ran down all the way east.

The three of them walked for more than 50 miles and bought a hundred catties of cooked yak meat in a larger restaurant. The three of them wrapped most of the yak meat in bags and carried them on their backs.

The three of them ate the yak meat while driving the animals, heading towards the direction of the sky.

When the sun was westward, they were still six or seven miles away from that line of sky.

Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them found a leeward col and stopped.

The three people quickly unloaded the goods from the horses, and then opened two bags of feed to feed the horses. Each horse weighed more than a dozen catties of feed. After the horses finished eating the feed, they gnawed hay on the hillside.

Since this is still the hinterland of the Tubo people, the three dare not relax their vigilance, so none of the three dared to close their eyes!

After dawn, the three of them ate some cold meat in a hurry, and then loaded the goods on the horses.

The three of them drove the horse team, rushed straight to the line of sky.

Tieniu led the way with a big stick in front, Chai Shao blasted the horses with a big gun in the middle, and Duan Wuji was behind the last break.

Since each horse doesn't have a lot of goods, it walks very fast.

It took less than an hour, and they successfully broke through the ghost gate of Yixiantian.

At this time, the sun was just over one pole high, and the three of them felt a little more relaxed because they passed through a line of sky.

The three of them headed east all the way along the way when they came, and they broke through the towering snow-capped mountains in just two days.

As they got closer and closer to the Great Tang Kingdom, people's nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Along the way, they avoided the settlements of the Turpan people. When they ran out of food, they killed a horse to eat.

The one thousand catties of feed they brought was eaten up by the horses after six or seven days.

The three horses are useless now, so they slaughtered the horses for the three of them.

The advantage of their doing this is to stay away from those Tubo people, so as not to bring some unnecessary troubles to themselves!

After eating all the horse meat, it will be half a month later.

At this time, they were only three or two days away from the border of the Great Tang Kingdom.

They slaughtered another horse in the ravine, had a good meal, and continued on their way.

Three days later, Duan Wuji and the others had successfully passed the customs and returned to the country. He personally led the cavalry to walk in this Sichuan and Sichuan, and he was completely relieved.

The three found a big inn, paid for the store for three days, and then unloaded the goods in the guest room. The three had a good rest in this inn for three days.

It wasn't until the tiredness came that the three of them packed the goods and continued on their way.

Along the way, hungry for food and thirsty, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and ran straight to the direction of Chang'an City without haste.

As they got closer to Chang'an, the three became more and more cheerful.

Tieniu said with a smile: "I'm afraid we will get rich this time!

To tell you the truth, when I came out this time, I almost used up all my wealth.

If this deal fails, I'll be that pauper again.

This is God bless us three!

After this business, I have to take a good rest!

How much money this earns is a lot!If he really died outside, he would die unjustly. "

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"I said brother! You took out all your money, who didn't take out all your money.

To be honest, I am more pitiful than you! "

Duan Wuji curled his lips when he heard this.

"Yo! Yo! I said, two elder brothers, what's the matter with you two? How can you pretend to be poor like this?

If we buddies talk about being poor again, who dares to say that the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty are rich!
Well, this time the business is down, we really should enjoy it.

I believe that after this business, no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can compare with the three of us?

Alright, let's stop patronizing and talking, it's more important to hurry! "
