Chapter 722 Reaching the War Horse Deal!
Chapter 722 Reaching a War Horse Deal! 【Second update】
"Unfortunately, it still can't trap me!"
In the darkness, a bright light, like a knife or a sword, flashed from Wang Chong's eyes. The next moment, clang, with a clear sword chant, Wang Chong pulled out the Uzi steel sword on his waist and shot quickly.
"boom!"
It seemed that a moment passed, and it seemed that countless long centuries passed. In the darkness, a shocking rainbow burst out, and with a single sword, it cut the iron cage that Hulu Yege made with Dashi's top steel into pieces.
Wang Chong's body shook, and he broke out of the iron cage without stopping at all. When he stepped on the iron cage with his right foot, Wang Chong immediately flew up like a kite.
After more than ten feet, he stepped on the wall on the right, and Wang Chong flew up again. After a while, a light appeared in the originally dark place above Wang Chong, and it expanded rapidly. .
"The hole!"
Wang Chong looked up, and a flash of lightning quickly flashed in his mind.
The iron cage was very heavy, so it fell very quickly. Judging from the situation in the eyes, it was only a few breaths before and after, and he fell at least seventy or eighty meters deep.
For ordinary people, this kind of situation is probably fatal, but for Wang Chong's imperial martial state, this height is not worth mentioning at all.
Huh, at the last moment, Wang Chong's sleeve shook, and like a sharp sword, it passed through the hole and came out from the ground. After turning over, it landed gently on the ground.
"ah!"
There were bursts of exclamations in his ears, and Wang Chong opened his eyes, only to see that in the dark room underground, there were many barbarian bodyguards at some point, all of them either dead or injured, dripping with blood.
And in the middle of the barbarian bodyguards, a mysterious man dressed in black, covered with a turban, looking dusty, and wearing a white mask, holding a dagger in his hand, was pressing against Hulu Also grid the neck.
"Go back quickly, go back quickly..."
Hulu Yege was full of panic, and suddenly saw Wang Chong, his eyes widened, and the panic in his eyes became even worse:
"Impossible! You..., how did you come up?"
Wang Chong smiled casually,
Under the shocked eyes of everyone, he walked slowly.
"Lone wolf, let him go."
Wang Chong stretched out his right hand and made a gesture, saying to the mysterious black man behind Huluyege.
"Yes, Lord Hou!"
With a movement of the lone wolf's figure, phantoms appeared one after another, and quickly backed away.
"You guys are together?!"
Hulu Yege's face was full of astonishment.
Wang Chong smiled without saying a word.
Lone Wolf has been sent out by him a long time ago to move around. He has traveled all over the Western Regions. After living here for so long, Lone Wolf has settled down and taken root, mingled with the locals, and even learned a lot of Hu language.
Wang Chong almost didn't recognize him when he met him for the first time. This time to find Hulu Yege, such an important matter, the first thing Wang Chong did was to recall the lone wolf.
Hulu Yege thought that he would be fine by tricking him into the mansion, trapping him in an iron cage, and sinking to the ground, but that was really naive.
Without thorough preparations, how could Wang Chong enter the Western Regions recklessly.
"Kuruyege, how is our deal going?"
Wang Chong walked over, pulled the only chair in the room, and Shi Shiran sat down.
"Three hundred thousand war horses, as long as you can help me get them, our deal is still valid."
Hulu Yege was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Wang Chong not to kill him.
"Are you serious? Three hundred thousand war horses is not a small number?"
As soon as money was mentioned, Huluyege immediately recovered his composure, and his eyes revealed the shrewdness of a businessman. In Shangyanshang, since you can't beat or kill the opponent, then consider doing business with him.
This is the instinct of being a businessman, and everything starts with profit.
"Since you know that I am a young Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it true that the majestic Middle-earth China still lacks money for hundreds of thousands of war horses?"
Wang Chong said with a half-smile. Hulu Yege is thoughtful and suspicious, and it is not easy to convince him.
Hulu Yege's eyelids twitched, and he fell silent immediately.
Indeed, Huluyege never dealt with strangers easily, because it was not safe. It was precisely because he recognized Wang Chong's identity as the Young Marquis of the Tang Dynasty that he thought of planning to frame him.
However, it was precisely because of this that after confirming Wang Chong's identity as a young man, in the eyes of Hulu Yege, he was more credible than ordinary people.
At least this kind of person with status and status is also a prince among the Han people, so he will not slip up easily. What's more, behind him is the entire Datang to endorse him.
In terms of credit and payment ability alone, Wang Chong far surpassed any force he had come into contact with before.
Moreover, 300,000 war horses... This is indeed a huge fortune!
At this moment, Hulu Yege suddenly felt a little moved.
"I trust you for now, but what about the price?"
Hulu also grumbled, with a trace of deceit in his eyes. In Shangyanshang, since the other party has the entire Tang court to endorse him, if he doesn't squeeze a lot of money, he will be the "Turkic fox" among horse merchants.
Hearing these words, Wang Chong laughed instead. Hulu Yege has undergone a huge change from being cautious and suspicious at the beginning, planning to frame him, to being greedy now.
But for Wang Chong, what he fears the most is not that Hulu Yege is greedy, but that he is not greedy. As for money...
When the catastrophe came and all monetary systems collapsed, gold at that time was useless at all.
If he could buy enough war horses and change the fate of Great Tang, to some extent, Wang Chong would even give him all the gold of Great Tang.
Anyway, gold at that time was almost the same as stone.
"The best horses on the market are eighty taels of gold, and I'll give you one hundred taels!"
Wang Chong stretched out a finger with a confident and calm expression:
"But all I want is a good horse!"
"Okay, okay, no problem!"
Hearing these words, Hulu Yege's eyes suddenly brightened. The real high-quality war horses are bought and sold in large quantities. There is not one horse of eighty taels of gold, but the real one is only seventy-five taels.
Wang Chong offered a price of one hundred taels of gold, which was a quarter more than that. For a businessman like Hulu Yege who valued pennies and pennies, this was an irresistible temptation.
You must know that in the past, when negotiating with Uszang, Mengshezhao, Goguryeo, and other countries in the Western Regions, even if the price was seventy-five one horses, the other party had to bargain with him and argue for a long time.
For a horse merchant like Huluyege, it was a dream come true to meet such a cheerful guest.
"However, do you really only need good war horses? What about other war horses?"
Hulu also grumbled, and quickly realized the weirdness.
"Well, I don't want anything else, just the best war horse."
Wang Chong said.
There is not much difference between ordinary war horses and excellent war horses, and they seem to be able to fight in battle, but when it comes to critical moments, when maneuvering for thousands of miles, and charging on the battlefield, the difference between the two will be immediately displayed.
Ordinary war horses can only go straight forward, but excellent war horses communicate with the rider on the horse, so that the horse and man are one. Moreover, the bones and muscles of excellent war horses are much stronger than ordinary war horses.
Since Wang Chong has recruited Wushang people, he will naturally equip them with the best horses. After all, in Wang Chong's plan, the enemies his Wushang cavalry will face in the future are only the Turkic cavalry. Only the excellent war horses on the prairie can compete with those tall and strong horses, and can be compared with those horses.
"No problem! This matter is on me."
For a pat on the chest, this time the promise was very straightforward:
"As long as it's a war horse, there's nothing I can't do on this prairie. It's just... money?"
As Hulu Yege said, he rubbed his right thumb and index finger together, making a gesture that everyone in the world could understand.
"No problem, I need 100,000 war horses for the first batch of transactions. In order to show our integrity, we will first trade 10,000 war horses with each other. Within a month, I will see 10,000 excellent horses in my city of steel. Warhorse, and I will give you the first batch of 10,000 taels of gold at that time."
"A mere 10,000 high-quality war horses should not be a problem for the dignified Turkic horse merchant?"
Wang Chong said, while speaking, he glanced at Hulu Yege.
"Haha, what are you talking about? It's just 10,000 high-quality war horses. I can help you drive to Wushang within 20 days."
Hulu Yege patted his chest and said boldly.
If Wang Chong wanted 100,000 high-quality war horses within a month, Hulu Yege really couldn't do it. After all, such things would take time, and they needed to be collected from various tribes.
But with 10,000 excellent war horses, Hulu Yege's long-sleeved and good dancer, and the relationship with the chiefs of the Turkic tribes are really not a big problem.
Moreover, 10,000 high-quality war horses, that is, a million taels of gold, is enough for him to manage up and down, and prepare for this unprecedented huge transaction.
The two parties quickly reached an agreement, and signed a contract according to the method of Hu merchants in the Western Regions. Both parties bit their thumbs and pressed the finger prints with blood.
"By the way, Huluyege, I heard that you have a housekeeper named Yaoluoge?"
Wang Chong suddenly raised his head and said, with a smile that was not a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Hulu also grumbled, but his heart skipped a beat.
Hulu Yege did find a few housekeepers to take care of his finances, but apart from those around him, few outsiders knew about it.
Moreover, when Hulu went out to discuss business, he never brought them with him, and these housekeepers never showed up in public.
Hulu Yege was very afraid of this, so he deliberately concealed it.
Even his old friends who have known him for decades have rarely seen them, let alone outsiders.
Hulu Yege didn't understand how Wang Chong arrived in the Western Regions for the first time, and it was also the first time he met him. How did he know how many housekeepers were around him, and he even knew the name "Yao Luoge".
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm just asking. But Mr. Huluyege still pays attention to people's hearts."
Wang Chong smiled, turned around and left.
Hulu Yege was still puzzled at first, but when he saw the three fingers raised up behind Wang Chong's back, his expression changed, as if he understood something.
Wang Chong quickly left Huluyege's mansion.
