"My lords! Here we come!" Suddenly I saw a fast horse galloping towards me. The man on the horse may have been too excited. When he dismounted, he even threw a dog to eat shit. He didn't care about the dirt on his face and rushed over shouting loudly.
"What's coming?" Xiao Chen was startled. Is it the enemy?
"Sheep! And horses! And cattle, and camels!" The visitor pointed to the north, "How many are here? You can't even see the edges, anyway, they are all over the mountains and plains!"
"Good guy!" Wen Chengxu jumped up immediately, "It's finally here!"
The people who came were from the Helan tribe, and the Prince of Helan Hu Yanlei also came in person. He was very happy to see Xiao Chen. Without saying anything, he gave him a big bear hug, and then laughed like thunder. .
It was as if the two had always been good friends and had never fought.
But his smile soon condensed on his face and turned into deep hesitation.
Because looking around, all this area is filled with sheep pens, cowsheds, stables, stacks of hay, grain, wood, and countless strong men...
We agreed to exchange, and our cattle and sheep have arrived. Where are your things?
"Brother Huyan, don't be anxious, let's go eat first." Xiao Chen put his arm around his shoulders and forcefully returned to Wen Chengxu's wooden house, ordering people to organize a banquet. I have to have a good drink with my brother today!
"Hey, let's not talk about eating and drinking. Where are the silver, silk, and porcelain? Where are all the things you promised me?" How could Hu Yanlei be in the mood to eat or drink?
I finally mobilized the people of the tribe to drive the cattle and sheep over. I have already sworn to everyone in the name of Changshengtian, ensuring that they can get everything they want in exchange for this!
If Xiao Chen, you kid, breaks your promise, I won’t be able to face these folks, so I can only commit suicide by jumping into the river, I tell you!
"Hahaha, if I, Xiao Chen, break my promise, will I still be your brother? Don't worry, our goods will arrive in three days at the latest and two days at the fastest. The main reason is that I didn't expect you to arrive so fast. , this is a day and night journey." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Nonsense, why don't you hurry up? They took all the good things away when you came late! I didn't expect to get up so early and rush to a late gathering! You said three days, if it is three Before the sun comes out, I will go back immediately to gather the troops and fight you to the death!" Hu Yanlei was really anxious.
"Then there's no need to bother. If my goods don't arrive in three days, we two brothers will just jump into the river hand in hand." Xiao Chen said.
Are you saying that Xiao Chen lied to Hu Yanlei? Of course not, because on his way here, Chen Jisheng had already sent someone to inform him that the goods had been unloaded and were rushing towards Bailong City.
Where did the cargo ship come from? Of course it was Jiangnan County. Duanmu Nanfeng ordered ten cargo ships filled with supplies and food to set off a month ago.
The cargo ship arrived in the downwind port waters half a month ago, but was unable to enter the port. It has been anchored outside the bay and waited for news.
After Ye Baiqing reached an agreement with Governor Peter, the cargo ship immediately entered the port. Ye Baiqing knew the importance of this batch of materials, so he hired a large number of horses and carriages to unload the ship and load the goods as quickly as possible before setting off directly.
Changshan Prefecture is only more than 200 miles away from Bailong City. The climate in the east is warmer, there is not much snow, and the roads are relatively smooth. The team has already set off for three days, so it will definitely arrive in three days.
Wen Chengxu suggested that you start collecting cattle and sheep now. Bailong City will issue receipts to the owners of the cattle and sheep. When the goods arrive, you can exchange them for what you need with the receipts, so that there will be no delay.
You have so many cattle and sheep without enough fodder or shelter. The weather is getting colder and colder. Wouldn't it be a great loss if they died of cold and starvation?
Huyanlei thought about it briefly and agreed. Anyway, the cattle and sheep had already arrived, and it was impossible to drive them back anyway. Besides, rushing back would mean death.
This is the best thing about dealing with tribes in northern Xinjiang. They are very happy to talk about things or business. If you were a Chinese, would you give it a try?
Of course, there are also good Chinese businessmen, and we cannot generalize...
There is strength in numbers, and Wen Chengxu was well prepared, so the acceptance work went very smoothly. At dusk, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, and horses had all entered the newly built pens.
The people from the Helan tribe also set up tents nearby. As night fell, they lit piles of bonfires and roasted dried meat and food.
Many young guys and girls danced around the bonfire and sang loudly.
The noisy young people here also came with all kinds of food to join in the fun, and they quickly became one with each other.
It was said that both parties had not been so intimate for many, many years. They ate meat together and drank wine together. After eating and drinking, they hugged each other and sang and danced. In the laughter and laughter, all the previous hatred was left behind.
Hu Yanlei fell drunk under the toasts taken by everyone, and lay on the ground snoring loudly.
Although his character is straightforward, he is not a fool. The reason why he got drunk in Xiao Chen's house was mainly because of his trust in him.
There is a saying among the people on the grassland: The person who gets drunk in my tent is because he completely trusts me and is not wary, so I will treat him as my brother...
Xiao Chen and Fu Yan came out to sober up and stood on a hillside looking at the bonfires. Listening to bursts of laughter, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, "If everyone in the world could be so close as brothers, How nice would it be to live in general harmony?"
"Boss, sometimes I think you are resourceful and resourceful, like an old man, and sometimes I think you are simple-minded, like a child." Fu Yan said with a smile.
"As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. Whether you are an elderly person or a child, the simpler the better." Xiao Chen's words had a bit of a TVB accent, but it was a pity that Fu Yan couldn't hear it.
"Boss, there were too many people at noon, so I didn't tell anyone. It's just because the fewer people who know this huge secret, the better." Fu Yan suddenly said.
"What secret?" Xiao Chen was stunned, where did it go?
"Emperors have been dragons since ancient times. There are elephants in the sky, which are dragon signs, and veins on the ground, which are dragon veins." Fu Yan spoke slowly.
The mausoleum Li Wanjiang chose outside Fengyang City is the head of the dragon vein, and the top of the Black Mountain is the tail of the dragon vein.
The dragon's veins are hidden very deeply, as the saying goes, the dragon's head is invisible but not its tail!
So the expert Li Wanjiang was looking for only saw the dragon's head, but he didn't know where the dragon's tail was?
Of course, Fu Yan didn't know either. It was only when he arrived at the top of the Black Mountain that he saw the dragon's energy coming out of the big cracks.
The cause of that earthquake was the death of Long Zi, which caused the Dragon Vein Tragedy.
If Li Wanjiang had not killed his son Li Xian, this dragon vein would still not be revealed.
Fu Yan won't even find him.
To use a common saying, Li Wanjiang's tail was exposed and was caught by Xiao Chen.
Not only did he catch him, but he also had to peel off his dragon skin, beat his dragon tendons, and chisel his dragon bones!
Coal mining is just a casual thing...
