At the border between the northern grassland and the Central Plains, a group of refugees were sitting by the Shenmu River, next to it was a rising bonfire.

It is located on the northern border of the Wang family consortium and borders the grassland. However, it is already deserted here, and Wang's troops rarely come here for patrols.

A group of people gathered around the campfire to keep warm. The clothes they wore were obviously patched and they were not washed often. They also had homemade earth guns in their arms. At first glance, they were horse bandits who had been hiding in the wilderness all year round.

A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek said, "Brother, do you think they will come? The date I agreed on before has passed long ago."

"I don't know," a tough middle-aged man rubbed his hands: "Who knows what's going on on the grassland? I heard that there is a lot of chaos there. Some small tribes said they were destroyed if they were destroyed."

"Then should we continue to wait? We've been waiting for two days," said the middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and a monkey-brow cursing: "If the goods they brought were not as good as they said, we would have gone in vain."

"Wang Ergou, I asked you, can you calm down for a while? I have heard you have been talking here in the past two days. If you don't want to wait, just get back by yourself," a man said and spitted on the ground.

The leader of the bandits stopped talking. The reason why he waited here for two days was not because he was honest or something, but because his family was about to lose the blame...

They live on the road from the Central Plains to the northwest, but the trade routes between the northwest and the Central Plains have been cut off for many years. The glorious horse bandits now have to farm themselves every day, which is too expensive.

Although I heard that the trade route is about to reopen, it hasn't been opened yet? They had encountered several caravans before, and they wanted to rob, but now the caravans traveling between the northwest and the Central Plains are all big merchants, and their weapons are much better than theirs.

Moreover, he is also a smart person. Who is the one who opens the trade route? But the 178 Fortress!

This 178 Fortress is different from the consortium. They will plunder the caravan without opening their eyes in the future. The group of killers in the 178 Fortress will likely send troops to flatten them regardless of the situation.

The leader of the horse bandit thought, since being a horse bandit is risky, can he take advantage of this trend and do some business?

But what business can I do? I have no goods in my hands...

So, a herder came from the north on a horse riding a horse and said he wanted to do business with them. The leader of the bandit named Su Lei was immediately moved.

The herder rode a very tall horse and said that they had a lot of fur from prey on the grassland and beef and mutton to trade.

These things, whether in the Northwest or Central Plains, are scarce!

Especially fur, which is one of the most popular things among the barriers. The same principle as wild game. If you can wear beautiful furs from the wilderness, then you will be the most dazzling existence at the dinner party.

Of course, Su Lei has heard from others that he has never seen it with his own eyes.

But in Zongshi Barrier Town, grocery shop owners purchase fur all year round.

No, those barriers have now become 178 Fortresses.

The Shenmu River is very shallow, and now due to the cold weather, it has all frozen into ice.

Why do nomads always choose to go south in winter? There are also some reasons why rivers can pass through.

Just as the horse bandit leader Su Lei was pondering, a faint sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. He looked up and saw a group of people coming from the frozen river. The leader was a young man.

Su Lei stood up: "I am Su Lei, you are late."

The boy sitting on the horse's back smiled and said, "Good things will always come a little late. The fur we bring, a lot of fur, and the appearance is very good. Have you brought what we want?"

At this time, Su Lei remembered something very strange. According to his thoughts, the things that the northern nomads wanted to trade should be salt or weapons, but the other party was very strange and even called for tea, cabbage, coriander, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, pepper and other seasonings...

Of course, antibiotic medicines and some iron tools are also needed, but iron tools also require pots and pans, not knives and swords...

Su Lei said: "Our goods are placed a few kilometers away. You must first confirm your sincerity before you can take you to pick them up."

Dozens of people behind Su Lei looked at the boy silently, and hundreds of strong men behind the boy. These people were all riding tall horses and following closely behind the boy.

After hearing Su Lei's words, the boy smiled and said, "Send someone to inspect the goods."

Su Lei winked at the middle-aged man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, and the other party shrank back.

On the contrary, the man who had scolded this middle-aged man before took the initiative to move towards the herdsman.

The boy looked at the man and praised, "I'm quite brave, what's the name?"

Su Lei suddenly felt that the boy had the confidence of a superior, and the man didn't mind, and replied in a muffled voice: "Cui Qiang!"

As he said that, the man had already walked among the herdsmen. He was surprised to see that the people and horses were carrying piles of fur on their backs.

Cui Qiang reached out and checked it. Even the best hunter in the Central Plains could not do it. There were no gun holes, only two small holes, like tooth marks, as if they were bitten to death by a wolf.

If the fur here is sold to the northwest or Central Plains, it will make a fortune.

It is best to sell it to the Central Plains, where the people are richer!

Cui Qiang checked for half an hour before it finally ended. He turned around and shouted to Su Lei: "No problem."

Su Lei took a deep breath and said to the boy: "Come with me, I will take you to the place where the goods are placed, vegetables, iron tools, medicines, and we have all."

The boy laughed happily: "When I saw that there was no goods around you, I thought you were planning to make money. Since you were sincerely going to trade with our tribe, you made a very correct decision."

With his words, Su Lei found that the boy on the other side did not seem to be afraid of their local guns, but these herdsmen did not bring any hot weapons at all, so why are they so confident?

You know, no matter how dirt gun is, it is also a gun.

Su Lei led the way and asked in confusion: "Why don't you buy weapons or something? Why do you buy so many daily necessities?"

The boy smiled and said, "It seems like I want a weapon, you can get it for me."

There was a sarcasm in his words, but Su Lei really couldn't refute it. If he could get better weapons, they wouldn't have to run around with their earthen guns.

The boy looked at Su Lei and smiled and said, "Don't mind, I'm just saying some facts. After this transaction is completed, you will gradually become rich. At that time, it will not be too late for us to trade other commodities."

Su Lei was stunned for a moment, and he found that the boy actually wanted to cooperate for a long time in the future.

The other party doesn't buy a gun now because the other party sees it very clearly: Su Lei and the others can't get it either.
