"Oh, four Taoist priests from the Sheng Kingdom, and one of them is a woman, can actually kill you and Zhang Shui's dozens of troops without leaving any trace of them? Zha Wang, are you talking about telling me a story?"
The speaker was the owner of this house, his name was Latu, he was barely a distant relative of Zha Wang, and he was also a tyrant in Jubao Town.
Zha Wang shook his head anxiously and emphasized: "Brother, what I said is true. Those Taoist priests are very evil. They seem to know magic. Not only are they powerful, but they are also invulnerable. None of my brothers are a match."
, whoever falls on it will suffer!"
Latu still didn't believe it. He glanced sideways at Zha Wang and sneered: "The magic method? Haha, I want to take a look at it."
"Brother, I didn't lie to you. It's true. Those people must be demons, they must be!" Zha Wang said forcefully.
Latu didn't want to discuss this topic with Zhawang, so he turned to ask: "How is Zhang Shui?"
Zha Wang shook his head and said: "I don't know, I only know that Zhang Shui fell down with a dart, and then I saw that the situation was not good, so I... ran away quickly."
Latu was silent for a moment and said: "If Zhang Shui dies this time, no one will compete with you in this area, and your life will be much easier in the future."
Zha Wang nodded and said sternly: "Brother is right. I hope that guy Zhang Shui will die soon and die thoroughly."
Latu smiled and then asked: "How is your hand?"
Zha Wang raised his bandaged wrist and said, "It's much better now, brother."
Latu nodded and said: "That's it, you have a good rest here today, go back tomorrow morning to see what the situation is, and then make plans."
"Hey, thank you, brother." Zawang said gratefully.
Then, Latu stood up and prepared to leave, but at this moment, a servant suddenly ran outside and said he had something to report.
Latu sat down again and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Zha Wang also stared at the man seriously, wanting to hear what he had to say.
The servant immediately said: "Master, someone just said that several Taoists came to the town, three men and one woman, and brought a large group of horses with them. I heard that the horses also have the marks of Chief Zhawang and Chief Zhang Shui...
."
Having said this, the servant couldn't help but turn around and glance at Zha Wang.
Zhawang was immediately startled. He turned to look at Latu and said in a panic: "Brother, three men, one woman and four Taoist priests must be those demon Taoists! Oh no, why did they come to Jubao Town? Is it possible?
You are coming after me, no, no, no, no..."
Latu frowned and glared at Zha Wang, and said very unhappy: "Hey, hey, what are you so worried about? What are you so worried about? You still claim to be a well-known horse bandit, don't you think it's embarrassing?"
Zha Wang didn't dare to talk back, but he thought to himself: If you don't panic, that's because you didn't see it with your own eyes. If you had seen the scene with your own eyes, those demons would be as ruthless as me, and you might even do it again.
More embarrassing!
Latu asked the servant who came to report the situation: "Where are those Taoist priests now?"
The servant replied: "I heard from a horse dealer who lived in an inn not far from the entrance of the town. I heard that the Taoist priests wanted to sell horses, but the horse traders were scared away when they saw the marks on the horses.
."
Latu was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and laughed: "These guys are really interesting, they actually came to sell horses on my property, haha, interesting..."
After saying that, Latu looked at Zawang and said: "Brother, I have to say, it's really embarrassing for you to be a horse bandit. You failed to rob people but were robbed by others. After that, they even brought your horse.
Selling in town, hahaha, tell me, how interesting is this?"
Zawang's face turned red after being told by Latu. He was angry but had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only lower his head in frustration and continue to sulk.
Latu looked at Zhawang silently for a while and suddenly asked: "Brother, do you want to take revenge?"
Zha Wang's spirit perked up and he immediately raised his head and said, "I think about it, brother, I've even dreamed about it!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zha Wang became discouraged: "But brother, those demons are really too...I, I...I can't afford to offend them..."
"
Zha Wang obviously admitted defeat.
Latu said scornfully: "You're worthless!"
Immediately afterwards, Latu said: "I borrowed thirty of your brothers, don't you dare to go?"
Zha Wang looked embarrassed and said: "Brother, Zhang Shui and I have fifty or sixty people in total, but we are still no match for them. You only have thirty, so I'm afraid..."
Zha Wang didn’t dare to say the next words.
"Bullshit, you guys in your 50s and 60s are called human beings? They are just a bunch of rabble, at most they are monkeys who can ride horses. How can they be compared with people like me?" Latu's voice immediately became much louder.
Zha Wang felt very unconvinced, but he couldn't show it, so he had to say with a bitter face: "Brother, thirty is really not enough..."
Latu's stubborn temper also grew, and he slapped the table and said: "If it's not enough, then sixty, if not, then a hundred! I don't believe we can't handle those Taoist priests!"
After saying that, Latu ordered his servants: "Please make arrangements and ask someone to send a message later, saying that I want all their horses, and ask them to send the horses to the pasture east of the town early tomorrow morning for inspection."
Give money to good horses."
The servant immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes, sir."
----------------------------
After a stick of incense, the inn at the entrance of the town.
Because there was not enough space in the inn's stables, more than half of the horses had to be left on the street, and the open space around the inn's front and back soon filled up.
In the inn, Chai Yan and the other four were eating.
Except for Chai Yan, the other three people all had good appetites. After eating one bowl, they added another bowl, and even added an extra dish.
When Jimo Qiao saw that the rice in Chai Yan's bowl was not moving much, he said, "Brother, why don't you eat?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said somewhat depressedly: "What a mistake. I originally wanted to sell these horses to make a fortune, but I didn't know there were marks on these horses. I don't want to throw them away for nothing. Tsk tsk tsk...
...Wrong decision!"
Jimo Qiao couldn't help but laugh: "Senior brother, don't think about this. Let's eat first. We'll talk about these things tomorrow morning. Look at how big Jubao Town is. I don't believe no one will buy these horses. At worst, we can sell them cheaper."
"
Cheng Jiu agreed with Jimo Qiao's words and said: "Yes, senior brother, I will ask again tomorrow morning. It is impossible that these horses cannot be sold."
Yu Tie also agreed, holding the bowl and eating while nodding.
Chai Yan nodded and said: "That's all we can do. Let's check the situation tomorrow morning. If there is nothing we can do, I will give it away by shouting on the street. If you want it, you can come and take it away at any time. Just treat it as a good deed."
Jimo Qiao immediately laughed and suggested: "Why don't we just stop selling it? We are Taoist priests, so we should do some good deeds, right?"
Chai Yan immediately turned to Jimo Qiao and said in shock: "Please, I just said it casually, why do you take it seriously?"
"You...you owe it to yourself!" Jimo Qiao immediately gave Chai Yan a roll of his eyes.
At this moment, someone walked in at the door of the inn.
The visitor was dressed like a manager from a wealthy family. After he came in, he asked the shopkeeper a few questions. After the shopkeeper replied, he walked to Chai Yan's table on his own.
"Priests, I am the steward of Mr. Latu's family. My master wants to buy the horses of several priests." The steward said politely with a smile.
Chai Yan immediately stood up happily and asked: "Really, how many horses does your master want?"
"It's all necessary," the steward said seriously.
"Seriously?" Chai Yan couldn't help but be surprised. Just now he was worried about how to sell the horses, but now a good thing has come to his door.
The steward said with certainty: "Of course it's serious. Everyone in Jubao Town knows about my master. If the Taoist priest doesn't believe it, you can go and ask around and you will know."
"No, no need..." Chai Yan waved his hand hurriedly, and then said: "Steward, how did we get these horses? I have to tell you first..."
"No need!" The steward raised his hand to stop Chai Yan and said, "For my master, as long as the horse is good, everything else is not a problem."
Chai Yan immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's refreshing."
The steward smiled slightly and said: "Taoist priest, it's already late today and it's not convenient for trading. Why don't we wait until after midnight tomorrow morning and several Taoist priests will send the horses to the pasture outside the town in the east. Then my master will send someone to inspect it."
As for the horses, if there are no problems with the horses, you can pay cash to the Taoist Master according to the market price of thirty taels per horse. I don’t know what the long-term thinking is?"
"Yes, yes, very well!" Chai Yan was extremely happy. The problem he was worrying about just now was solved in the blink of an eye.
