"Where did you come from? What are you doing?" Tang Ping was stopped at the city gate of London.
He was very familiar with this and quietly pressed a few iron coins into the guard's hand.
"We are businessmen from Visigoth, and we naturally come to London to do business." Tang Ping said with a smile.
Feeling the iron coin in his hand, the guard was no longer so cold. He looked at Tang Ping and asked curiously: "Are you a Visigoth?"
"Of course not!" Tang Ping grinned: "I am a businessman from the Tang Dynasty."
With his appearance, he really couldn't pass for a Visigoth. In addition, they were originally here to sell the luxury goods of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally admitted it.
While talking, he stuffed a few more iron coins into it.
"These are all good things I brought from Datang. I hope they can be sold at a good price in London."
Although the grand auction in the Visigothic Kingdom has long passed, the topic of the luxury goods of the Tang Dynasty is everlasting.
Even these guards knew it, so when they heard that Tang Ping was from the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't help but look at him twice.
Fortunately, Tang Ping knew how to deal with the world, and with so many iron coins stuffed down, the guards stopped investigating his identity.
Anyway, the superiors didn’t say that people from the Tang Dynasty were not allowed to do business!
After taking a casual look at the goods brought by Tang Ping and the others, and realizing that they were indeed those Tang Dynasty luxuries, the guards' eyes gleamed with greed.
Tang Pingxin thought it was not good and quickly said: "There are also gifts for Prince Woolf, and the others will be sold in London. Because we just came to you, the things haven't been sold and we don't have much money. Wait. If I sell these, I will definitely give you a big gift."
"Do you know our prince?" the guard asked suspiciously.
"Of course!" Tang Ping pointed to a glass inside the opened cargo box and said, "At that time, I sold our glass formula to you, Prince Woolf..."
Tang Ping's face turned pale when he said this, and he approached the guard and whispered: "Oh no, His Highness the Prince said this should be kept secret. You must not spread it, otherwise you should also know your prince's methods!"
Woolf was arrogant, domineering, and a little moody, and his methods were vicious. These guards didn't want to get involved in his affairs. After hearing what Tang Ping said, they quickly shook their heads and said, "I didn't hear anything just now."
A guard next to him looked at the caravan following Tang Ping and frowned: "Are these people...Vikings?"
"That's right!" Tang Ping said matter-of-factly: "I matched your prince...and then he sent these slaves to work for me, you understand."
"Please, please enter the city!" The guard pointed to the city, and then pulled the other guard over.
"Why do you care so much? He is related to His Highness the Prince. Have you forgotten how Hans' leg was broken?"
Tang Ping successfully led the people into the city and immediately found a hotel to stay.
"The city defense here is really lax!!" When they came in just now, Lao Cui and the others were naturally not idle. They seemed to be looking around curiously, but in fact they had a clear idea of the situation at the city gate.
"This is only during the day. Let's find a chance to go over and have a look at night!" Lao Du said: "Who knows if they will strengthen the city defense at night?"
This time Tang Ping only brought seventy or eighty people into the city, and the rest were ambushed outside the city.
It is impossible to march into the city with thousands of people.
"We'll talk about things tonight. Let's go find out first, which is the largest chamber of commerce in this city?" Tang Ping took Lao Cui and Lao Du out, and after a little inquiry at the hotel, it turned out that all the chambers of commerce here belong to Ai. It is managed by the Gerbert family, which means that ordinary local businessmen cannot do business casually.
Businessmen from other places can only trade with them.
But this was exactly what Tang Ping wanted.
After finding a chamber of commerce, Tang Ping put the rice bowl he brought on the table and shouted arrogantly: "How about it? Do you want to accept the treasures from the Tang Dynasty?"
The people from the Chamber of Commerce were stunned. Is this person a fool? ?
Who here doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince was in the Visigoth Kingdom because of those treasures of the Tang Dynasty. If anyone dares to mention this matter in front of him, he will really break his legs and throw him out.
Now this businessman doesn't know where he came from, but he actually dares to come to sell things from Datang?
How did Tang Ping know that Wessex may be the only place boycotting Tang products now?
That is to say, the guards at the city gate usually have no access to Prince Wulf, so I really thought that he would buy things from Datang, otherwise Tang Ping wouldn't even be able to enter the city gate just now.
The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce looked at the things Tang Ping put on the table. They indeed looked like the things from the legendary Tang Dynasty. He said with a smile on his face: "Wait a moment, I'll call someone right away."
But he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. The prince heard that he was not in a very good mood recently. If he handed over this businessman who was selling goods from the Tang Dynasty to let him vent, it would be a great achievement!
Tang Ping originally wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, take out these treasures of the Tang Dynasty, and lure out the members of the Egbert royal family. It would be best to invite them to a banquet or something, then take action by surprise, and then open the city at the same time. Door, so that you can control the opponent at once.
I didn't expect that this would be self-defeating.
He did not wait for anyone from the royal family, but a large group of guards came. The leader looked at the things on the table, smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Take it!!"
Lao Cui took a step forward and was held back by Tang Ping.
Although Tang Ping didn't know what the situation was now, he still whispered to Lao Cui: "Don't force yourself, wait and see."
Although there were about twenty guards coming and Tang Ping and the others only had eight people, there would definitely be no problem if they really wanted to take action.
Tang Ping took out two silver coins from his pocket with a smile on his face: "My Lord Knight, what crime have we committed?"
"You haven't committed anything." The leading knight saw the money in Tang Ping's hand, took it, and threw it in his hand: "But you come to us to sell Tang Ping's things, you are in the wrong place. ”
Tang Ping was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the problem to be here. He thought about it and said, "Then what should I do if I bring so many things from the Tang Dynasty?"
"Huh?" The knight didn't expect that Tang Ping was still a big fish. Although the prince didn't like these things from the Tang Dynasty, his dislike did not affect the value of these things.
Just the bowl on the table now could probably be sold for a lot of gold coins.
When the knight heard that Tang Ping also brought a lot of things from the Tang Dynasty, he suddenly had other ideas in his mind.
