There is a big mountain among the peaks to the east.
It is surrounded by towering cliffs, and only a stone castle stands on the top of the mountain.
There are two liftable gates at the front and rear of the castle, which are connected to other gently sloping peaks, allowing for contact with the outside world.
There are hundreds of people living in this castle called Anzhila.
The mistress of the castle, the current Grand Duke Tiger: Qiaobiluo Tiger, is watching her knights move some collections out of her father's favorite storage room during his lifetime.
These collections will be handed over to traveling merchants from the new city in exchange for some goods needed by Antzira Castle.
Good seeds, good farming tools, sharp weapons and hard armor.
All are things the castle desperately needs.
As a noble, she did not purchase any luxuries that were exclusive to her.
It was only because of the fearless dedication of two generations of Grand Dukes that the knights under their command would always follow their Tiger family.
Even after her heroic father died, the knights did not abandon her as a mere weak woman.
"Bangdang..."
Two burly knights accidentally dropped a huge bronze statue to the ground.
Seeing Qiao Biluo's concerned look, the two knights also looked a little embarrassed.
One of the bearded men said: "Sorry, Grand Duke, this bronze statue is indeed too heavy."
Qiao Biluo looked at the bronze statue that had a groove on the floor, and she didn't blame the two of them.
After all, looking at the damage to the floor, you can tell that this game is really serious.
She said to the two of them: "You move other things first, I will do this."
With that said, Qiao Biluo lifted up her skirt and walked to the tall bronze statue.
Her two big palm-like hands hugged the bronze statue.
"rise!"
Qiao Biluo shouted loudly, and several knights around him felt their ears ringing and their eyes flashing with stars.
All the muscles in her body were instantly congested with blood, and her veins were exposed.
With a sudden force on his bear-like waist, he pulled the huge bronze statue up from the ground and put it on his shoulders.
"Dong...dong..."
Qiao Biluo gradually walked away with heavy steps.
The two knights behind him looked at Qiao Biluo's back and looked at each other, then swallowed their saliva.
As expected, the Tiger family can only continue to grow and develop under the leadership of such a fierce man.
"boom!"
Qiao Biluo slammed the bronze statue directly in front of the traveling merchant, and several stone slabs were smashed directly.
She patted the bronze statue in front of her.
"Can you accept such a big guy?"
The traveling merchant looked at the statue and then at the objects around him.
The goods that the Tiger family moved out for trading were all quite large items.
But this does not trouble the Luo family.
The traveling merchant said with a smile: "Take it, of course, but...is that all?"
The Luo family is eyeing not only the Tiger family's collection, but also their family's secret practice: Silver Duan Tai Technique.
Although he is not particularly strong, when it comes to collecting knowledge, Rhodes's attitude has always been to collect everything.
Qiao Biluo did not answer directly, but said: "You first calculate how much these are worth."
I saw a few assistants standing around the traveling merchant, and they immediately stepped forward to sort out the goods.
Tearing apart the coats that wrapped the collection, the true body of the collection inside was revealed.
Several assistants played with the collection up and down, carefully analyzing the age and workmanship of these things.
This is used to calculate a price that they think is reasonable.
Qiao Biluo stood aside, folding her arms and watching quietly.
The suspension bridge at the door has been pulled up, and the surrounding knights have also hidden themselves secretly.
If these lousy businessmen dare to lie to me, then let them have a taste of the Tiger family's iron fist of justice!
That's a fist the size of a casserole!
The traveling merchant's men didn't waste much time before they finished counting all the goods.
Listening to the report from his subordinates, the traveling merchant fiddled with the abacus in his hand: "The total is... 425 taels."
Qiao Biluo frowned when she heard the figures reported by the travel merchant.
She was still young when her father collected these items, but she also knew that her father spent a lot of money to obtain these items.
Comparing the two amounts, the gap is as big as heaven and earth.
Qiao Biluo became angry instantly, and her fists clenched loudly.
Damn, these lousy businessmen are really treacherous.
Before Qiao Biluo could get angry, You Shang spoke.
"Don't be too little. Your goods are huge and very troublesome to transport."
"That is to say, this is the first time we have made a transaction, so I, Xincheng, am willing to take a small loss to buy these from you. If it were another force, you might not be able to sell any of them."
Youshang was not in a hurry and just waited quietly for Qiao Biluo's reply.
Qiao Biluo took a deep breath.
She thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that it was indeed what the travel merchant said.
But she had inquired with the traveling merchant about the purchasing power of silver taels before, and the amount of just 425 taels was even lower than what she had imagined.
"A little more, it's too little."
Hearing Qiao Biluo's words, You Shang smiled and said:
"It's not that I don't want to join. Monsters in the Far West are now frequent, and many of the traveling merchants I know are dead.
I risked losing my head and continued to travel around. You probably haven't seen any other traveling merchants except me, right? "
Qiao Biluo knew that even though she said that, she couldn't just follow what You Shang said.
If it is revealed that no other traveling businessmen come to the door, this person becomes the exclusive buyer. Wouldn't this person be able to sit back and raise the price?
She retorted: "No, there are still other businessmen who come to my Anzila Castle, and their prices are much higher than yours."
The traveling merchant smiled but did not expose it.
"Then you can exchange for a batch of portable collections. Those things don't take up space and are easy to carry. I will definitely give you a higher price."
At this time, Qiao Biluo was silent.
These big things, let alone seeing a traveling merchant for so many years, even if they did, they probably wouldn't accept them like this person did.
In today's world, collections no longer have much meaning; they cannot be eaten or drunk.
Moreover, it is so big that it is very difficult to transport it across mountains and rivers.
Something that can only be thrown away when in danger.
It is better to sell them today and exchange them for urgently needed supplies so that the people under your command can develop.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Biluo relaxed.
"Okay, these collections will be at your price, and I will ask someone to bring some other collections."
With that said, Qiao Biluo turned around and walked towards the house.
Travel merchants are not idle either.
He waved to the children who were peeking around.
"Come, come. Uncle brought you some sweets."
The children made some commotion, but no one came forward.
Not long after, a somewhat thin child was pushed out.
He walked up to the traveling merchant somewhat at a loss.
He was dirty and had a pair of big eyes, shining with aura of spirit.
The traveling merchant touched his head fondly.
"What a good kid."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the child's mouth.
"Um!"
Feeling the sugar blooming on his lips and tongue, the child's eyes immediately widened.
As an orphan, it was common for him not to have enough to eat, but he had never eaten such good food.
Seeing that there was no problem, the other children also gathered around the traveling merchant.
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"Okay, okay, everything is there."
