Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 23 Trading
"Where is your young master Xu Sheng? Isn't the deal with my Xiang family worthy of his personal appearance?"

Xiang Bo said loudly, trying to use his momentum to overwhelm the boy opposite.

"General", Lu Wei acted calmly and calmly, Xiang Bo's battlefield momentum was not as strong as Luo Wang's murderous intent, and could not shake him at all:
"Is being aggressive a characteristic of the Xiang clan?"

"Very courageous."

"Since I entered Xiang Jun's camp, I have never asked about the general's name or official position. This is because I understand that the general has no personal identity here. You only represent the Xiang family."

Xiang Bo was about to refute it again, but was directly interrupted by Lu Wei, who took the opportunity to express his attitude:

"And I also have no selfish motives of my own. What I represent is the entire farm family."

"The general has repeatedly been asking why Young Master Xu Sheng didn't come forward. Does he want to use Xiang's reputation in Chu State to interfere in the internal affairs of my farm family?"

With lightning speed, he pulled out the fine iron sword and inserted it into the table. Lu Wei secretly used some soul-shaking skills in his last words, which made it loud and clear in the camp.

"Bold!"

When the two guards behind Xiang Bo saw Lu Wei drawing his sword, they immediately raised their long swords and pointed them at him.

Following Lu Yu who entered Xiang Camp together, Lu Ye faced Ge Tou and also drew his sword to protect his boss.

The two sides glared angrily, and for a moment they were hostile. But if they fought in the Xiang Camp, the farmers' side would obviously not have the advantage, not to mention that this was the border of the Chu Kingdom.

"Stop." Xiang Bo sternly scolded the guards to retreat. Lu Wei also raised his hand to signal Yu Ye and the others to sheath their swords.

"I'm rude. I hope Team Leader Lu will forgive me."

Xiang Bo changed his original flamboyant tone, bowed solemnly, and apologized to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei quickly pulled out the fine iron sword and responded with the same etiquette: "You are brave, the general is the one who must not blame you."

The probing between the two sides ended here, and it seemed as if the conflict just now had never happened.

Xiang Bo raised his head again and looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction. His original intention of looking down on him was completely gone:
"Thank you for your hard work, Leader Lu, who brought the goods to our Xiang family from Bitter Cold Yan Land." Xiang Bo clapped his hands, and a soldier immediately brought up an exquisite black wooden box: "These are the pearls of Chu Donghai, all taken out from the body of a jade clam. In total, there are 18 stars among the first graders, the fourth graders, and the thirteenth graders.”

"It's a small thank you. I hope Leader Lu won't shirk it. Please accept this."

"General, you're welcome. It's just..." Lu Wei looked at the pearls in the box with hesitation on his face.

"This is a common specialty of our Chu country. If Leader Lu doesn't accept it, is he still blaming Huang for his rudeness just now?"

Xiang Bo was resolute, but he really misunderstood what Lu Wei meant.

"No, no," Lu Wei waved his hands and said he didn't dare; "It's not that I won't accept it, but that as a farmer's disciple, I have no use for such luxurious things. If the general doesn't care, you might as well exchange this box of pearls for Equivalent to gold, how about that?”

Lu Wei boldly said what he really thought.

"This"

This was the first time Bo Xiang heard such a request. He looked at the young man opposite with almost longing eyes and said slowly: "Will Leader Lu stay in Shouchun? I will give you the gold later."

"Okay." Nodding reservedly, Lu Wei opened his palms to indicate the direction outside the camp: "Then will the general go out with me to look at the goods?"

"As it should be!"

The two walked out of the camp side by side and came to the caravan parked outside Xiang's military camp. Xiang Bo took a big step to the carriage in the front row with his eyes shining, and raised his hand to touch the horse pulling the carriage:
"Good horse, good horse!"

"The horses of Yanzhao are famous all over the world!" Lu Wei introduced with a smile: "The horses we used for this caravan were all high-quality horses. Doctors took good care of them throughout the process. Although ten people died on the way due to various reasons. There are horses, but most of them are still intact!"

"What a pity, what a pity!" After mourning for the more than ten dead horses, Xiang Bo glanced at the entire caravan and continued to ask: "Is this all there? It seems to be quite different from the quantity we ordered?" "There will be more caravans in the future. If they don’t arrive, I have already issued an order. When they arrive in Shouchun, they will come to Xiang’s military camp as soon as possible!”

"Very good!"

Xiang Bo ordered the army soldiers to bring in the same number of ordinary horses and exchange them with the caravan horses one by one. Seeing the good horses being sent to the military camp, he couldn't help but feel happy and burst into laughter.

Pulling Lu Wei back to the military tent, Xiang Bo ordered people to bring good wine and meat, and Lu Wei did not refuse anyone who came.

Although he was young and had never drunk strong liquor before, he relied on his deep internal strength and strong body to finish all the toasts in one gulp.

Such a generous performance made Lu Wei win great favor from Xiang Jun present. After a feast of eating and drinking, some new trade developments discussed between glasses of wine satisfied both parties even more.

Later in the evening, under the personal farewell of Xiang Bo, the drunken Lu Wei was helped into the carriage by Lu Yu. The goods from the trade would be sent directly to the farm hall. This was agreed upon from the beginning.

After the carriage traveled a certain distance, Lu Wei performed two rounds of the Rejuvenation Kung Fu, and his drunkenness dissipated. He opened the small curtain and looked at the setting sun outside:

"Have you found your residence in Shouchun City?"

"Brother Shan has done it, we will enter the city now."

Lu Yu guarded the entrance of the carriage and did his duty.

------

"The Yan people left?"

In the Chu army's main camp, a middle-aged general touched his beard and asked Xiang Bo who had returned to report the situation.

"Yes!" Uncle Xiang said with a smile on his face. Now is not an emergency period. The Xiang clan gets along with each other as naturally as at home: "Uncle, the person sent by the farm to take charge this time is a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, named Zhao. My name is Lu Wei."

"He is a heroic man, and this transaction went very smoothly. I also agreed with him that after he returns to the Yan Kingdom, he will continue to arrange some small caravans to import good horses to the Chu Kingdom every month for a long time!"

"Well done." Xiang Yan, the leader of the Xiang clan, couldn't help but smile when he heard the news: "This is exactly what our Chu country is in short supply. Every time the Yan people bring horses, they are paid at a high price!"

"I think so too." Xiang Bo added: "This Lu Wei likes gold very much. When I gave him jade clams and pearls, he hoped to exchange them for gold before accepting them."

"It's okay. It's a good thing that friends from far away have these hobbies. Do you know what to do?" Xiang Yan didn't take it seriously after hearing this, but instead smiled even more.

"I have already ordered it to be kept to the satisfaction of Zhao Ren!"

Xiang Bo nodded. He always acted steadily. Xiang Yan didn't ask any more questions: "Take me to see those horses. I, the coach, want to use my power for personal gain~ Haha!"

That night, a carriage with the Xiang family's logo came to Lu Wei's temporary residence in Shouchun City. Four strong soldiers got out of it. They carried a huge box and displayed it in front of Lu Wei, who was amazed:

"Leader Lu, this is my general's promise today, and we brought it to you!"

"There is also this carriage." The leading soldier clasped his fists: "My general has considered that the leader will stay in Shouchun for several months, so traveling will inevitably be inconvenient. With this carriage, we can avoid a lot of trouble for the leader!"

"I appreciate General Xiang's kindness~" Without any intention of refusing, Lu Wei decisively accepted the wooden box and carriage, and asked Lu Yu to be responsible for setting up Xiang's carriage properly. He then returned with the heavy box. Own room.

Lu Wei couldn't wait to open it and was stunned:
During the day, the small black box containing pearls came into view first. When I opened it, I found a lot of 18 round beads, large and small.

And under the black box, it is covered with gold. A rough estimate is that it is no less than three hundred gold!

"This clan is really worthy of my friendship~"
