The sixty-fifth section is a dragon or a worm and come back alive(1/2)
Xiao Buyi had nothing to do, so he continued to practice the knife. When he woke up the next morning, he felt refreshed. Today is the day to go out of the border and a new chapter in his ranch. Of course, he should be more energetic.
Mo Feng and Arrow muttered, "Arrow, what did you say Buyi was gesturing with a chopstick yesterday?"
"How do I know, madman, I said you are very strange. Why don't you ask for some things directly and have to whisper?" The arrow pointed.
"I asked, of course he would say he was picking up food, but I can be 100% sure that he was picking up food." Mo Fengshen said mysteriously.
Arrow looked at him for a while and finally asked, "He is not picking up food, so is he practicing peerless martial arts?"
"Bah," Mo Feng said disdainfully: "Is peerless martial arts so easy to practice? I suspect he is feeding vegetables."
"Feed?" Arrow was stunned, "Why?"
"The Buyi went out to find Mengdie last night. I guess he was kind to me. When he came back, he was still thinking about sweetness. Then he recalled the situation. You feed me and I feed you. Otherwise, he would eat just for dinner. Why did he reach the opposite side after picking up the food and so far away from his mouth?" Mo Feng has evidence.
"I don't suspect he is feeding vegetables, I just suspect that you were kicked by a mule in the head." Arrow said seriously: "According to the young master's words, your mental retardation is under eighty."
"What does it mean to be mentally retarded at 80? That means IQ is below 80." Mo Feng corrected.
"Oh, you also know that your IQ is below 80." The arrow replied with a sentence that made Mo Fengqi die, and it turned out that he was surrounded by the arrow without realizing it.
"Who do you say has an IQ below eighty?"
"It is necessary to discuss so seriously." Arrow smiled.
Mo Feng waved his hand and was full of disdain, "You kid don't have women, don't know these things. I'm asking about blind breast milk..."
Zhou Muru was drinking water when he heard this and sprayed it out, "What's the matter?"
Mo Feng touched the water on his face and said mutely: "It's okay."
Xiao Buyi was a little funny. He knew what the brothers were discussing. Even when he was having dinner last night, he was considering the basic moves taught by Yuchi Gong. He couldn't help but gesture with chopsticks, so he let the arrow guess it casually, but Mo Feng obviously didn't believe it.
The facts are so funny, the truth is much like a lie than a lie.
But even he is hard to believe that he has been taught by a famous teacher, let alone Mo Feng.
After packing up their simple luggage, Xiao Buyi walked out of the door with his brothers and the goods were put on the shelves early. The six of them had only one car, filled with rouge and water powder, which was extremely light and made the brothers feel light and unsure.
Seeing that others were all trucks of goods, Xiao Buyi murmured to himself and comforted his brother, "This is not a matter of weight, heavy or heavy or expensive."
"I am willing to listen to Deputy Leader Xiao's words. I think Deputy Leader Xiao's goods may be sold well." Old Bangzi ran over at some point, smiling.
The old man was full of kindness to Xiao Buyi, because he happened to be in the same team as Xiao Buyi, and because Xiao Buyi was completely different from his goods.
When the old man found out that Xiao Buyi and the others were selling rouge and water powder, the old man could only sigh. Young people, without experience, must they suffer losses before they wake up? But he would not correct it because he knew that young people decided something, and it would be difficult to correct it. So he planned to tell them earnestly when they failed. Young people would not listen to the old people's words and suffer losses in front of them.
Of course, there is another important reason why Lao Bangzi and Xiao Buyi are so close. In order to curry favor with Xiao Buyi, the merchant sent some Haiyang Phoenix Tea and Maoshan Fairy Tea. Xiao Buyi gave some to Lao Bangzi, which made him feel that this young man is very good.
An incense altar had been set up in one of the mansions. The Gao Shi arrived early and stood there with a solemn expression. There was a man standing beside him.
The saddle-horse porters were ready, and trucks of goods had been loaded on the car, and representatives of various merchants came over in groups of three or three.
Every time the caravan sets off, they will worship the heavens, which is similar to the nature of the Emperor's sacrifice and praying for blessings in the Dongdu Xijing every year.
There are many rules and certainly many taboos. Han Xue hid far away, for fear that others would find out that she was a woman. She didn't know whether a woman was a taboo in business, but she knew that if she was discovered, there would definitely be trouble.
When Xiao Buyi saw her intelligence, he nodded and praised her, but had already walked towards Gao Shiqing. Yang Dezhi had already come to him and whispered to Xiao Buyi that the man next to Gao Shiqing was named Lu Anyou, the leader of the caravan this time.
Lu Anyou is not powerful, tall, thick eyebrows, straight nose and wide mouth, not handsome, but at first glance, it feels that this person contains amazing power.
Lu Anyou saw Xiao Buyi coming from afar and nodded slowly.
Xiao Buyi met him for the first time. When he saw Lu Anyou looking very kind, he couldn't help but smile and nod.
Many merchants knew each other but some didn't know each other, but Xiao Buyi greeted him one by one. It was true that many people would not blame him anywhere.
Li Zhixiong was whispering to several people. When he saw Xiao Buyi passing by, he walked over with a smile, "Deputy Leader Xiao, get up."
Xiao Buyi greeted him and passed by, Li Zhixiong nodded and bowed, very respectful.
Yang Dezhi whispered beside him, "Buyi, I heard that this kid had hope to be the deputy leader, but when you come, he has no hope. He is so humble to you, you should be careful that he will make trouble for you."
"What's the good thing about the deputy leader?" Xiao Buyi asked in a low voice.
"prestige."
"What else?"
"If you encounter robbery in horse bandits, you must move forward in war and die faster." Yang Dezhi analyzed.
"Then why does he hate me?" Xiao Buyi laughed in silence.
"The most important thing is that the deputy leader has a status. Every time he goes out to the frontier, he can not only bring goods for free, but also get paid. With Pei's generous manner, although outsiders don't know how much it is, they all know that it will definitely not be less. Besides, those merchants gave you gifts a few days ago. Everyone thinks that you became the deputy leader. Seeing that you received so much money, I was jealous, let alone him." Yang Dezhi smiled.
Xiao Buyi was a little surprised and whispered: "We just need to keep changing and adapting to everything."
The two of them spoke and left, and had already arrived at Gao Shiqing's side.
Gao Shiqing turned around, his attitude towards Xiao Buyi was not enthusiastic, nor was he indifferent, so that others could not see through their relationship.
"Bu Yi, this is Lu Anyou. The leader of the caravan this time, you are his deputy." Gao Shiqing introduced: "This time he and you are responsible for going out of the frontier. I hope you can work together and achieve success."
"Brother Lu, please take care of me in the future." Xiao Buyi bowed his fists and bowed.
Lu Anyou smiled, "Brother Xiao, please don't be surprised by Brother Xiao's ability."
Both of them were polite, but they were obviously looking at each other.
Xiao Buyi thought that there were so many troubles outside the border. According to his understanding in the past few days, although the main location of the Pei Val transaction was Zhangye, Mayi should not be underestimated. This person was designated by Pei Val and was the leader. He must have the ability and experience that ordinary people could not reach.
Lu Anyou was thinking in his heart that Gao Ye was cautious and his every move had a deep meaning. Now that his relationship with the Turks is getting stiffer, this time he went out to the frontier was not a good job. He arranged for Xiao Buyi as his deputy. Is this man famous? But yesterday he lie down in the room and didn't come out to meet him. He thought he was a proud person, but when he saw him today, he didn't expect that he would be approachable.
When Gao Shiqing saw the two of them’s doubts, his eyes flashed with light and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The auspicious time has come. You can set off after drinking the farewell wine."
Without waiting for Gao Shiqing's order, the servant had already brought a jar of fine wine and opened a jar of mud seals. The rich aroma of wine instantly filled the courtyard.
Gao Shiqing burned incense and offered wine, and his face was solemn.
Xiao Buyi also looked solemn. After all, there are rules for the industry. Although he is a modern person, he does not believe that burning incense and sacrificial wine can protect himself, but it is most important to follow the local customs and be kind to everyone. Not being able to be alternative.
Even with Xiao Dapeng's intelligence and knowledge, he would not ask the Taoist priest to force him to drink incense ash. Therefore, you should not be too serious in life, otherwise you will be very tired.
After Gao Shiqing finished offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, he personally picked up the wine jar and poured it over along the sea bowl along the edge of the table, dripping the wine, which was quite bold.
Everyone was infected by him and was excited.
Gao Shiqing did not give the first bowl to Lu Anyou, nor to Xiao Buyi, but to an old man not far away.
The man was dressed simply, with the left lapel of the clothes, and was not from the Central Plains. His temples were a little gray, his face was layered with wrinkles, and his eyes were a little blurry and turbid. The only thing that could make people feel relieved was that his waist was quite straight and it would be no problem to walk a few steps.
"Vika, we need your wisdom and experience in this journey, and I also ask you to work hard." Gao Shiqing was actually respectful and polite, and held the wine bowl high above his head.
The old man took the wine bowl and drank it all without saying a word. However, most of the wine was poured on the lapel of the clothes. He flipped his wrist and threw the wine bowl on the ground. With a 'pong' sound, he placed his right hand on his left chest, and made a ritual outside the gate and said, "Osan."
When the merchants saw Gao Shiqing toasting the old man, they did not show any dissatisfaction, and they all looked for granted.
Xiao Buyi looked at Yang Dezhi and wanted to ask questions. He felt that this old man should be respected, but letting him go out to the frontier was very worried about the safety of the old man, because it seemed that the old man was already in his twilight years and should have a life of his youth at home.
"Vika means wise in Turkic language, and it is also the honorable title of the old man for the old man." Yang Dezhi knew that Xiao Buyi would definitely not understand, so he didn't need to ask, and explained in a low voice: "According to customs, the teams going out of the frontier usually have such an old man, because they are experienced and respected in the grassland, and often resolve disputes among the grassland people. Osan means peace in Turkic language, and throwing the bowl is exorcism. Everyone drinks the farewell wine and throwing the bowl to drive away evil, wishing you a safe journey."
Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at him strangely, Yang Dezhi asked in confusion, "What's wrong, what's wrong? I'm talking about something?"
"There is no problem," Xiao Buyi said a little depressedly: "But why do you know so much but I don't know anything?"
Yang Dezhi punched him, "You can breed horses, I don't."
Why did Xiao Buyi feel awkward and ambiguity? I wanted to correct it because Gao Shiqing had already walked to him.
Gao Shiqing finished respecting the old man Viaga, and the second bowl was given to Lu Anyou, and the rest was given to several major vendors, including the merchants of the Wang family and the Lin family.
He did everything without any loss. He arrived in front of Xiao Buyi until almost the same time. It was obvious that he had not given enough face to Xiao Buyi, but at least he would not let Xiao Buyi be jealous of others.
"Bu Yi, I hope you can do something when you go out of the frontier this time." Gao Shiqing raised the wine bowl and said earnestly.
No one knows better the intention of letting Xiao Buyi be the deputy leader than him, and no one knows Pei Mingcui's painstaking efforts better than him.
Xiao Buyi didn't know that, and only thought that he had eaten cow dung recently, so he was lucky to leave. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "Osan."
He learned and used it now, and learned quickly, which made Gao Shiqing smile in his eyes and replied, "Osan."
The two of them threw bowls on the ground at the same time, and with a "bang", it announced the official journey of this frontier.
Xiao Buyi thought that the Pei family recruited people everywhere, which means losing money and gaining publicity. This time, the number of people went out of the frontier was probably because there were not many people, which means it was meaningful.
But after leaving, Xiao Buyi was a little surprised. The number of people outside the mansion was far beyond his imagination.
The crowds were crowded, and the convoy actually lined up from the mansion, and there was no end until the far side of the long street.
According to rough estimates, the caravan will have at least 300 people this time, which can be considered a great deal.
The old man was guarding a car early and saw Xiao Buyi coming out, full of envy.
"There are not many people who can worship the sky and drink with the Pei family caravan," Yang Dezhi said on the side: "We can only stand there because we benefit from your power. It seems that the old man is alone and there is no one in line."
Xiao Buyi suddenly realized, looking at the brand new trucks and tall horses, and couldn't help but sigh, "Pei Val is really rich."
"It's not really rich. If you follow Buyi's words, it's quite rich." Yang Dezhi said: "It was only by you that they defeated the Tianmao Caravan. They went out to the frontier with natural beauty and glorious scenery. Such a scene is also the intention of demonstrating to the Tianmao Caravan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses from afar came quickly and rushing. While everyone was still looking down on each other, dozens of men in black rode horses and came to the long street, dismounted in one go. With a 'click', they pulled out their saber and shouted in unison: "Peace."
As soon as they finished speaking, the saber was sheathed, and it was clean and neat, and there was a "card" sound. The sound was clear, and then the horse was turned on, standing still, and then there was no sound.
Gao Shiqing had some satisfaction in his eyes, and looked at Lu Anyou with a smile and said, "You have trained well."
