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

Chapter 942 930 One: Deposit of Cordyceps
The team moved forward all the way, it was hunger for food and thirst, and Xiao Xing stayed overnight.

Two days later, these people finally saw the vast snow-capped mountains.

The snow mountain is still majestic, not much different from usual, Duan Wuji saw that the sun is just westward now.

Duan Wuji said to these people: "Everyone work hard, let's rush to the bottom of the high mountain quickly, and then find a place to rest early.

Tomorrow morning, let's rush across the snow-capped mountains. "

After hearing this, the other members of the team immediately sped up their horses and rushed straight to the dark mountain. When they got to the bottom of the mountain, these people still followed Duan Wuji and the others into the small pit very close to the mountain root and lived there.

The grass in the small pit is still luxuriant, and the water in the pit is still so clear.

The horses gnawed on the grass in the pit, and when they were thirsty, they naturally ran to the edge of the pit to drink water.

People ate wolf meat and chatted at the bottom of the pit. After they were full, they fell asleep on the edge of the pit.

It was a peaceful night, nothing happened.

In the morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight came out, Duan Wuji said loudly: "Everyone, eat a few bites, and then we will go on the road.

Let me tell you that this section of the road is more dangerous, and each of you must obey orders.

Let's rush through this section of the snow mountain quickly, and if we go further inside, our life will be more comfortable. "

After hearing what Duan Wuji said, some people unpacked their burdens and began to eat wolf meat. When they were full, they led their horses out of the pit.

Everyone got on their horses, and under the leadership of Duan Wuji, they rushed towards the vast mountain along the rugged mountain road.

The majestic mountains are thousands of feet high, and the white snow on the top of the mountains looks mighty and holy.

The team traveled westward all the way, and when the sun just turned westward, the team crossed the most dangerous line of sky.

After entering the low mountainous area, Duan Wuji's heart was relieved.

The team walked slowly all the way, and when it was dark, they found a leeward place on the hillside and stopped.

The horses continued to gnaw on the green grass on the hillside, and these people ate cold wolf meat while admiring the scenery on the plateau.

After people were full, they fell asleep in a short while.

The next morning, almost everyone had nothing to eat.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Okay, let's get on the horse now.

After a while we arrived at the dam.

When we got to that place, our life would be much better. "

Duan Wuji and Tie Thui got on their horses, led the team to continue westward, and entered the dam after a while.

When these people saw the yurts and tents one by one, they felt extremely refreshed.

Duan Wuji led them to Zabashi's gate and dismounted.

Duan Wuji said to the warriors guarding the gate: "Do you guys still know me?

Tell me, is Naza Brazil at home? "

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Duan? Why are you here?"

"Oh, we're going to the capital to do some business, so we'll stop by here to see your master.

Is your master at home? "

"I'm at home, I'll report to you right now, you guys just wait here for a while."

With that said, the guard ran towards the yard.

In a short time, Naza Brazil picked it up.

"Hey, I said Master Duan, why are you here today?

Come inside please!

To be honest, I think I've missed what you guys think.

Master Duan, you are well-developed now, how many servants do you two have now? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said, Master Zabbasi, this farewell has been two years, right?

How are you doing this time. "

"Good! Good! Thanks to you, I can do well.

I said old friend, just now I heard from the gatekeeper that you are going to the capital, is that true? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"That's right, let's go to the capital to do some small things, and come over to see you by the way.

Aren't we old friends for many years!I passed by your door today, how could I not come in to see you? "

"I said, Master Duan, you are traveling a long distance, just rest at my house for two days before leaving!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Since an old friend is staying as a guest, how dare we not follow orders?"

While talking, the two ran towards the compound, and Tie Niu followed closely behind, leading the horse.

Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin and those attendants also followed in.

Zabbasi said to the servants standing in the yard: "You guys take all their horses to our stable and feed them with good grass and materials.

Don't let the guests pick our gifts. "

"Yes! Master Zabbasi!"

Several servants started to lead the horses, and Zabbasi said to Duan Wuji and the others: "My guest from afar, let's go, follow me to drink tea in the house!
I have freshly brewed milk tea here, come in and try it! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Master Zabbasi, those twenty people are our servants, you can send someone to arrange a room for them to rest."

"Oh, that's how it is! It doesn't matter, I'll send someone to arrange a room for them immediately, let them have a good rest.

Wudunai, quickly arrange a room for them and let them rest for a while.

I think you'd better arrange them in the Xikuan courtyard, and arrange them with Mr. Duan and the others, so that it will be more convenient for them. "

"Yes! Master Zabbasi."

The servant turned around and arranged the room.

Zabbasi said with a smile: "Master Duan, Brother Tieniu, come with me to the living room!"

Duan Wuji smiled and said to Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin: "You two brothers, let's go, come with us!"

The four followed Zabbasi into the room, and everyone sat down as guest and host.

Zabbasi poured milk tea for them himself, and the five of them chatted while drinking the milk tea.

Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin didn't know how to speak the language, and the two of them listened to it, but it didn't make any sense at all.

Zabbasi didn't know who these two people were, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Zabbasi looked at Duan Wuji and said: "I'm talking about brother Duan, I heard that you have become well-off in the past few years, and now you have become a person with status and status.

May I ask if you still sell Cordyceps? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said, Mr. Zabbasi, our two brothers are poor people. Although we can do well now, we can't really be considered rich people.

As for the sale of the caterpillar fungus?As long as the supply is available and the price is reasonable, it doesn't matter if we get it back.

Excuse me, Mr. Zabbasi, do you still have supplies here? "

Zabbasi smiled slightly.

"The place where I live is the main place where Cordyceps is produced, how can you say I have no source of supply?

In my opinion, you might as well stop selling the caterpillar fungus from the king, and you can take this little thing from me.

As for the price, it must not be higher than the price that the king sold you. There are hundreds of miles from me to the capital. If you get the caterpillar fungus here from him, won't it be a lot of trouble? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said, Grandpa Zabbasi, how much money do you have?

Can you tell me the number? "

Ze Brazil smiled smugly.

"Is there any shortage of Cordyceps in my place? The total of this little goods is not more than [-] catties, which is about the same.

How about it?Is this enough? "

Duan Wuji raised his thumb when he heard this!
"There are quite a lot of these goods! Then how much do you think you should sell them to us?"

"Now the market price of this Cordyceps is 51 taels of silver per catty, I won't ask you for more, how about I give you 50 taels of silver per catty!"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"That's good! Then we want this bit of caterpillar fungus, but since we are old friends, then we have to agree that you have to give us a few horses to carry these goods when we leave, otherwise, you Let’s talk about how we can transport these goods back!”

"Okay! Okay! That's absolutely no problem. Isn't it hard to talk about such a small thing!
I agree to this matter, Mr. Duan, can you pay me a deposit first?

Pay a little deposit and we'll settle the matter. "

"Pay a deposit? Good! Good! Then we will pay you a little deposit!"

Duan Wuji turned around and said to Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin: "Brothers, pay him the golden elixir you brought, and it will be much easier for you."

When Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin heard this, they quickly unpacked their respective bags.

The two hurriedly took out their gold bricks and placed them on the table.

"This is 200 taels of gold for the two of us, you can weigh it on the scale!"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji hurriedly translated, and Naza Brazil was overjoyed.

Immediately ran out, took his small scale and weighed it on the scale.

"Yes, this is exactly 200 taels of gold, which is neither too much nor too little.

From the looks of it, you guys are all taking advantage of the money.

Now that the gold has been used as a deposit, it is mine now, so I put it away. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Take it! Take it! What do we say, we should come back to pick up the goods in a few days"

Several people chatted together for a while, Duan Wuji and Tieniu led Zhang Gongjin and Li Jing back to the courtyard of Xikuayuan.

When Zabbasi saw the golden gold he had collected, he was really elated.

In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty has been busy fighting with the Turkic Kingdom, and internal turmoil has also occurred in the Tianzhu Kingdom. Due to the continuous war, it is almost impossible for the businessmen of the Tianzhu Kingdom to get through.

Once the merchants from the two countries stopped coming, the Cordyceps would naturally not be sold much.

The merchants who occasionally come to buy Cordyceps from Tianzhu Kingdom are all stopped by the king's people, and the palace also needs money!

Since Zabbasi lost the main buyer, the Cordyceps in his place is accumulating more and more!

This old guy is worrying about this matter all day long, Duan Wuji and others are here.

It's like when a person is dozing off, someone hands him a pillow.

This Tobasi also came when he saw the opportunity, how could he miss this great opportunity?
I really didn't think of it!The two sides reached an agreement, and the transaction went very smoothly.

This old man is so happy!The heart disease that had been going on for many days was gone at once.

Not to mention the joy, at dinner time, Zabbasi invited all the people brought by Duan Wuji and the others. Everyone was nothing more than a big bowl of milk tea and a big bowl of yak meat.

After dinner, Duan Wuji and the others went to rest early.

Duan Wuji was afraid of any accident, so the four of them took turns to be on duty, each on duty for two hours, to ensure the safety of the brothers.

On the second day, Naza Brazil still entertained them very friendly, and these people went back to rest when they were full, and they were already exhausted from the long-distance trek for several days.

After a day of rest, people are finally relieved from fatigue.

While having dinner, Duan Wuji said to Zabbasi: "I said Master Zabbasi, today we have recovered from our fatigue, and tomorrow morning we will set off for the capital.

We have settled the matter when we see the king. We should be back in a few days. You should also make preparations in advance!

When we came back, we installed the Cordyceps!With the Cordyceps installed, we should go back. "

When Naza Brazil heard that Duan Wuji and the others were going to leave tomorrow, he felt extremely happy.

These 20 people eat and drink here, and consume a lot of things every day.

Zabbasi said with a smile: "I said Mr. Duan, since you have official duties, then I won't keep you.

I hope you go and come back early, so that we can complete the transaction as soon as possible! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Of course, we also hope to complete the mission as soon as possible, so that we can return home as soon as possible.

We people are not used to the climate of your place.

We'll be right back once we've done our mission. "

People chatted for a while, and then went back to rest.

In the morning of the next day, after breakfast, Duan Wuji and the others bid farewell to Zabashi and headed westward for the capital of the Tupan Kingdom.

After so many days, not only the horse has adapted to the plateau climate, but the man has also adapted to the plateau climate.

Therefore, the speed of this team's westward march is very fast.

When the sun was about to press down on the mountain, the team had already arrived at the capital of the Tubo Kingdom.

People rode on the streets of the capital, one by one very disappointed.

Xin said: Is this the capital of the Tubo Kingdom? It really isn’t as good as the capital city of our Tang Dynasty!

This street is not only sparsely populated, but also not many shops.

The whole street looked very desolate, Tie Niu said with a smile: "I said brother, look at the sky, it will be dark soon, where do you think we can rest?"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Is there any need to ask? We'd better go to the king's palace to rest.

The environment there is the best, and there is no need to worry about food and drink. We still have to spend money to stay in a hotel.

If we stay in the palace, we will be much more comfortable. "

Tieniu nodded after hearing this, and then said to the team behind him: "Hurry up, everyone, let's go faster, it's going to be dark this day.

If we don't hurry up, we won't even be able to enter the gate of the palace. "
