Listening to Lin Zhao's just right flattery, Qiao Dayong couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
He also saw that this young and handsome young man named Lin Zhao was a young hero who had just entered the world and was full of swordsmanship and singing. Others were working as guards to make money. This young hero must be seeking a chivalrous revenge.
So I don’t care about the size of my employer’s capital, I just follow the travels.
So they rush to do everything, even barbecue the fat sheep with great joy.
But this young man is obviously smart. Not only can he talk, but the barbecued fat sheep is also very delicious. Not only Qiao Dayong, but also several prominent people who come to eat and drink with status are full of praise for the food.
Huahuaqiaozi was admired by everyone, and this young hero who was full of travels in the world had so much fun being a guard, so naturally Qiao Dayong would no longer be sarcastic towards others.
"Shaoxia Lin is really funny when he talks." Qiao Dayong chuckled and said: "But Mr. Zhang, your Lanzhou cashmere can still be sold at a good price elsewhere, but now it can't be sold in Lebus. This Eros is also a big country in the west. Leather clothing and cashmere and the like
, their clothes are no worse than ours, what they like is the silk from Jiangnan."
"Do they understand this too!?"
"This brother has never been there at first glance. The Eros nobles and Junggar nobles in Lebush are no worse than our nobles in Dazhou. They are very particular about food and clothing and are willing to spend money. They are also rich!
The life of an aristocrat is also very particular. They often hold banquets, which are called dances, and the aristocrats and their ladies dance some kind of ballroom dance together."
After a few questions and answers over there, Qiao Dayong also said with a big smile:
"Do you know what I am sending you this time? Textiles from Suhang, jewelry from the Lin family in Chang'an City, and porcelain. Where can I sell these for a lot of money?"
Everyone was flattering. Lin Zhao saw that everyone was just flattering, so he interjected: "If you ask me, only people like you, Mr. Qiao, can get this kind of goods. How can we, a small business owner, do it?"
Start this business."
"Haha, Shaoxia Lin has indeed traveled around the world and gained extraordinary knowledge!"
Qiao Dayong laughed and said: "Actually, as early as a thousand years ago, Western nobles liked our silk and satin. It is said that an emperor named Caesar wore our Chinese silk and satin to watch a drama. As a result, the whole capital was shocked.
It’s said to be unprecedented luxury.”
"In addition, our porcelain sells very well. There was a king who gave a porcelain bowl to a duke. As a result, the duke inlaid the porcelain bowl with gold as a family heirloom."
Qiao Dayong talked eloquently, and everyone flattered him more and more, taking the opportunity to absorb some experience.
When Mr. Zhang came out of seclusion for the first time, he saw that the guard Lin Zhao was doing well, so he asked him to sit over and let him talk to Qiao Dayong.
For a moment, Qiao Dayong was very happy to be flattered, and he had to open another jar of wine. Everyone knew in their hearts that although Eros had the legendary vodka wine, the taste and texture of Da Zhou's Shao Dao were not inferior to it.
In addition, due to the long distance, making knives can make a lot of money in Le Bush. Qiao Dayong can open a pot at will, which is really good.
Early the next morning, they set off as usual. Qiao Dayong's drinking capacity was average and he felt uncomfortable clutching his head when he woke up early in the morning. However, the team still marched as usual. Half an hour after leaving the tribe, they had already seen the mountains to the north and passed this area.
The mountainous area is Le Bush, but we still need to walk for two days in the mountains.
Qiao Dayong was lying on a cart in the middle, sleeping soundly there. The man who dispatched the escort rode over and said coldly:
"Old Qiao, if you drink too much cat urine, you will go crazy. For the sake of our long-term brotherhood, I remind you that I will not show mercy if you really want to expose something or ruin the business."
Qiao Dayong rubbed his forehead with his hands and said angrily:
"You don't need to tell me, I have run this business several times, how can I not know the importance? Last night, didn't I just talk about Lingluo silk and satin? Who in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains doesn't know about this? I didn't talk about anything else. The following few
Nothing weird at home?"
"It's nothing weird. The person they arranged to stay on duty last night was very honest. He must be a businessman. The wanderer named Lin Zhao is also very honest."
"Make a vote on the way?"
"It's not a big deal. Although Lin Zhao is sincere, he is really skilled. Look at how he rides a horse, shoots eagles, and bends his bow to set up an arrow. We may not be able to defeat him even if we lose more than a dozen people. Besides, our people are dead and injured."
It’s not easy to explain, so let’s forget it this time.”
"Then do you think it's possible to conquer that kid?"
"Although that boy is just starting out and everything seems new to him, his behavior is like that of a kid from a wealthy family. His character and magnanimity are astonishing. I'm afraid even our boss may not be able to match him."
"In that case, let's forget it."
The two exchanged a few words, and Qiao Dayong fell down in the car and fell asleep again.
At the back of the team, the carts of the small caravans were loaded with many things and the horses were average, so they fell behind the team. This is also the norm for small caravans.
Although the voice of Qiao Dayong's exchange with the guard was low, Lin Zhao could hear it clearly.
He couldn't help but feel excited.
In the wilderness of the rivers and lakes, among the guards and servants, there are many discerning people. As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere. Although there is a side that he can express, but this guy can see this, it is extraordinary.
It would be a pity to just serve as a guard leader under a wealthy businessman.
It was getting dark, and we walked to a water source in the mountains. We were about to set up camp on the spot. There were many trees in the mountains, and there was no shortage of things to make a fire. However, we were not as happy as eating sheep yesterday. Everyone took out their own dry food.
Get water from the river, boil the water, heat dry food and pickles, and prepare to rest.
The valley in the mountain is quite flat, and the trees on the mountain are quite prosperous. From time to time, you can hear the calls of birds and the roars of animals from nowhere, but everyone is out and knows that wild animals are afraid of fire, so they keep each other strong.
Courage, because everyone was tired after a long day of traveling, they went to bed early. However, Qiao Dayong's guard did his duty and arranged a shift.
Around the convoy, piles of bonfires were lit, and the guards were on duty beside the bonfires, warming themselves up. Even in the hot summer, the valley in the Western Regions was very cold at night. The so-called wearing cotton-padded jackets in the morning, wearing gauze in the afternoon, and hugging
Eating watermelon by the stove is generally the kind of weather we are talking about.
After two days and one night of getting along, Qiao Dayong's escort team and the caravan they teamed up with were no longer wary, and they didn't care about Lin Zhao, who had a very high force value. Everyone didn't pay much attention to it. They just stayed vigilant about the periphery.
.
But suddenly, everyone felt the ground shaking. Although the guards were sleeping, they were still alert. In just a moment, many people woke up.
Immediately afterwards, a frightening bird was heard chirping, and the entire convoy was alarmed. The guards outside were heard shouting at the top of their lungs:
"There's someone on the mountain, there's someone outside the valley, it's the Cossacks! It's the Cossacks!"
His words were full of fear and panic.
Qiao Dayong also showed the reaction ability of the leader of a large business group who has been away all year round. When he stood up, he had already grabbed a short knife in his hand, but his eyes when he looked around were full of horror.
At this time, on the dark mountains on both sides, as well as at the mouth of the valleys in front and behind, there was a little light at first, which seemed to be a fire, and then there were more and more dots of fire. Anyone with experience knows that these dots of fire are
It should be a torch.
When they heard that someone recognized the Cossack, both Qiao Dayong and the guard leader took a deep breath.
Qiao Dayong said in a trembling voice: "Old Chen, this batch of our goods is for Sang Wenchun, the great slaughter of Junggar. Isn't this Wenchun very popular in front of Duke Osterman? We have taken care of him all the way, why are we Cossacks like this?
Are you still here to rob?"
The guard leader said in a harsh voice: "These Cossacks only have eyes for their Duke Eros, but they also care about the Dzungars? Old Qiao, now we are in trouble!"
