"Deputy Director, it seems that none of these companies in Bansheng City are willing to cooperate with our Tiger Flag."
Coming out of Bansheng City, Tan Zaiwang was riding on horseback talking to Li Shuheng.
After they left the Zhao family, they went to the Zhang family. Like the Zhao family, they refused to cooperate with the Tiger Flag. Later, they went to the Wang family and the Huang family. The same two families did not agree to cooperate with the Tiger flag.
However, although these three families did not agree to cooperate with Hu Zi Qi, they all gave out gifts politely. Unlike the Zhao family, who always considered themselves Mongolians and felt that Han people like Hu Zi Qi were inferior and directly They kicked people out of Zhao's house.
Li Shuheng said, "The Zhao family looks down on our Tiger Flag, and the other three families may have some scruples. It's not that they don't want to cooperate, but that they can't cooperate. So although the three of them refused to cooperate, they didn't say anything."
"Then what should we do next?" Tan Zaiwang asked Li Shuheng.
Although they had the permission of the Great Khan and many Taijis to open shops on the grassland, they came from the Ming Dynasty after all and did not know much about the grassland. They needed the help of local Han merchants to open stores better and faster. Open up the situation.
"Go back to Qingcheng first." Li Shuheng said, then he patted the horse's belly and urged the horse to run.
After running for more than three miles, a group of dozens of Mongolian armored cavalry appeared on the opposite side and came towards them.
As these Mongolian armored cavalry approached, Tan Zaiwang's expression suddenly changed, and he said eagerly, "Deputy Director, the Mongolian armored cavalry in front are from Su Nangtaiji, and the one leading them is Sutangtaiji's personal guard Wo Lunkuo. "
At this time, Li Shuheng and the others had slowed down their horses. The dozen riders around them all looked nervous. The handguns in their hands were loaded with projectiles, and they were ready to take action at any time.
The Mongolian armored cavalry quickly appeared in front of Li Shuheng and the others, and directly surrounded Li Shuheng and the dozen or so cavalry he had brought with him.
"General, what do you mean, why are you blocking our way?" Tan Zaiwang said, looking at a Mongolian on horseback opposite.
Wo Lunkuo picked his nose with his little finger and said, "I feel uncomfortable seeing you Han dogs appearing on our Mongolian grasslands."
Tan Zaiwang's face turned livid and said, "We are businessmen allowed by the Great Khan to do business on the grasslands. Aren't you afraid that the Great Khan will blame you for doing this?"
"There's no need to sweat me down, it's useless." Wo Lunkuo said disapprovingly.
Seeing that the name of Divination Shitu Khan was useless, Tan Zaiwang's heart sank, knowing that things would be difficult to improve today.
Having been to the grasslands twice, he had some knowledge of the various Tumut tribes. The Wo Lunkuo in front of him was Su Nang Taiji's bodyguard general, and Su Nang Taiji was the lord of Tumut. Under the control of Bu Shitu, Bu Shitu was only the Great Khan in name. In fact, Tumote had already become torn apart due to several internal fights. The twelve tribes all went their own way and no longer obeyed Bu Shitu, the king of Shunyi. dispatch.
"Then what do you want?" Li Shuheng urged his horse to come up.
Wo Lunkuo looked at Li Shuheng who was speaking and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Shuheng said in a calm tone, "I am the person in charge of the Tiger Flag caravan this time. I don't know what General Wo Lunkuo wants to do when he stops us."
Unlike Tan Zaiwang, he could tell that the Mongolian in front of him stopped them just to humiliate them, and would not really do anything to them. Otherwise, he would have fired bows and arrows when they met.
What's more, even if the other party takes action, he is not afraid.
The people he brought were all elite riders of their tiger-character flag, and everyone wore breastplates. A group of dozens of Mongolian armored riders could not surround these dozen of them.
However, he did not want to fight the Mongolians in front of him. Killing the Mongolians on the grassland would cast a shadow on their cooperation with Qingcheng. It would very likely lead to the negotiation of the cooperation being abandoned. , after all, there are many Taiwanese and Kyrgyzstans who don’t want their tiger-character flags to come to the grasslands to do business and open shops.
"So you are the one in charge." Wo Lunkuo said, "I feel very uncomfortable seeing you Han dogs. Why don't you let your people compete with mine? If you win, I will let you go. .”
Li Shuheng frowned.
He knew that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble, so psychologically he was unwilling to accept this competition.
"Why are you so scared like a Han dog?" Wo Lunkuo said sarcastically, "Then follow me back to Bansheng City and ask your people to come and redeem people."
"Ha ha"
The roar of laughter from the Mongolian armored cavalry could be heard all around.
In the eyes of the Mongols, if someone challenges and the other party does not accept it, then he is a loser and is not worthy of becoming a Mongolian warrior.
Li Shuheng knew that he couldn't avoid this competition and had to compete, so he said, "What kind of competition do you want?"
Tan Zaiwang on the side translated Wo Lunkuo's words for Li Shuheng, and then relayed the words for Li Shuheng.
Although Li Shuheng had studied Mongolian for a period of time and could barely understand it, he could not speak it.
Wo Lunkuo said, "Since you have come to the grassland, let's have a test of equestrian skills. As long as you win, I will let you go. If you lose, then follow the rules of our grassland and redeem your people with heavy gifts."
At this point, he licked his lips with his tongue.
Since the last time he drank a jar of wine given to him by Tiger Character Flag, he has never drunk such strong wine. Later, the Fan family also sent wine from the Ming Dynasty twice, but unfortunately it was not as good as the one sent by the Tiger Character Flag. That altar.
If he could win this time, he decided to let the people from the Tiger Flag give him ten jars of wine, otherwise he would never let him go.
Li Shuheng's frown deepened when he heard about the equestrian competition.
The Mongolians have grown up on horses since they were young, simply competing in equestrian skills. There are few people on their Tiger Flag side who are opponents of the Mongols.
"Why are you so scared? Just give up and ask your people to come to Bansheng City to redeem people." Wo Lunkuo sneered.
He was sure that the equestrian skills of these Ming people could not match those of the Mongols.
"Deputy Director, let me do it," Tan Zaiwang said.
"Are you sure?" Li Shuheng looked worried.
Letting the riders of their Tiger Flag compete with the Mongols in equestrian skills shows the shamelessness of this Wo Lun Kuo.
"Okay." Tan Zaiwang nodded vigorously.
Li Shuheng hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Well, it's up to you to compete with the Mongols. It doesn't matter even if you lose. The worst is, we can get it back later."
Except for Tan Zaiwang, the dozen or so horses behind him were not suitable to compete with the Mongolian cavalry.
Tan Zaiwang was born in Ye Bu Su, so he was naturally good at equestrian skills. However, many of the other Tiger Flag riders were cavalry who had been trained later. They could fight in formations, but in a one-on-one equestrian competition with the Mongols, there was no hope of winning. .
When Wo Lunkuo saw that the candidates for the competition had been sent out from the Tiger Flag, he immediately pointed to a Mongolian armored cavalry and said, "Sainaban, come and compete with Han dogs."
The Mongolian armored rider who was shouted came out with a joyful expression on his horse.
In his eyes, if a man from the Ming Dynasty dared to compete with him in equestrian skills, he would definitely win.
Thinking this in his heart, he also said the same thing in his mouth, "Boy, you are destined to lose. It's better to send someone back quickly to prepare a ransom to redeem you."
"It's not a competition yet, so it's not certain who will win or who will lose," Tan Zaiwang said bluntly.
Senaban sneered and said, "Then let's see who is more powerful, you, the Han dog, or us, the Mongolian warriors."
