C36 (2/2)

”Master Zhang is so happy. It seems that he has some big business.”

Wang Gong was already waiting in the main hall. With regards to Zhang Shiping coming in so early in the morning, he must be able to guess that Zhang Shiping had some big business. There were only a few places in this county that could provide a large amount of cloth, and all of them were old acquaintances.

”Heh heh, Master Wang really has good eyesight. To tell you the truth, Master Wang, I need to hurry up and buy a batch of cloth.

Zhang Shiping said, then handed over the order he wanted to buy to Master Wang. took a look and gasped, good boy, this is not a small number, it is difficult to gather all of them within a day, they will need a few alliances to be able to settle this.

”To tell you the truth, Master Zhang, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for any of you to gather all these cloth within a day. Can you do it slowly?”

”We'll deliver the goods by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. We'll be leaving in the morning the day after tomorrow.”

Zhang Shiping was also very anxious, these horses must be brought back before the Spring Tillage. Once the flowers bloom in spring and the grazing season in the prairie comes, who knows where those damned Hu people have gone to, where are you going to sell horses? Moreover, with such a large number of horses, one or two small tribes would not be able to gather that many horses.

”Alright, I will immediately invite the other cloth merchants to try to gather the goods today and deliver them tomorrow morning. ”How about it?”

”Then I'll be troubling Master Wang. As for the price, since there's such a large quantity, can it be cheaper? ”

This was a characteristic of merchants, they would bargain whenever they got a chance. With such a large transaction, the Master Wang would definitely make a large profit from it. Zhang Shiping had to at least cut the price. Even if it was a bit cheaper, he could sell more horses.

”Sure, at the previous price, it was 50% cheaper. How about it?”

After bidding farewell to the Master Wang, the business talks went smoothly. Zhang Shiping was elated as he slowly strolled along the streets of Zhuoxian County with both of his hands behind his back. After walking a few steps, a strong man walked over and bumped into Zhang Shiping.

In his panic, Zhang Shiping reached out and grabbed a big sized man beside him, preventing him from falling. Just as he was about to speak, a man covered Zhang Shiping's mouth, following that, two men lifted him up, and dragged him into a car covered with a cloth that had long since stopped by the side of the road.

”Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you.”

A fierce voice sounded out beside Zhang Shiping's ears, and right after, an ice-cold sharp blade pierced into Zhang Shiping's throat. The carriage was completely dark, the two of them were pressing down on Zhang Shiping, he could not move nor could he see anything.

”The tickets have been kidnapped!”

This was Zhang Shiping's first reaction. After walking so much at night, he finally met a ghost. As a merchant, especially a rich merchant, it was normal for him to be targeted by the kidnappers. Zhang Shiping was not actually surprised. He was thinking about how much blood he should have bled this time.

The carriage stopped after walking for a short while. It was quiet around the place, so Zhang Shiping concluded that the carriage did not leave the city. It was probably a big courtyard. The two men wrapped black cloth around his eyes and pulled him out of the car. They carried him into a room.

”Boss Zhang, please take a seat.”

There seemed to be someone already waiting inside the room. When Zhang Shiping entered the room, he heard that person's voice. Right after he finished speaking, the two men pushed Zhang Shiping down onto the chair and sat close to him, one on the left and one on the right. They were probably afraid that he would run away.

”Boss Zhang, business has been very good recently.”

The voice was low, thick and imposing. Listening to the man's accent, he seemed to be from Zhuoxian County, which made Zhang Shiping feel a little more at ease. It seemed like these people only wanted money and would not harm his family. Since he had been kidnapped, he must have a clear understanding of his own business. Since he was already here, he might as well settle things here and now.

”It's not exactly good. I'm just enjoying the meal.”

”Humph …”

The kidnapper who spoke those words let out two cold snorts, as though he didn't believe what Zhang Shiping had said at all. Such a big boss, how could he just be eating and drinking? He stood up, walked a few steps back and forth within the room, and then stopped in front of Zhang Shiping.

”Boss Zhang, I heard that you have been doing a big business recently. You even have a ten thousand people as a guard, right?”

It can't be, kidnapping without even knowing who's business it is, isn't that a bit unprofessional? He probably just came out to do it, with this level of skill, kidnapping is something he can do as soon as possible. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to take out that much money.

”Hehe, good men, I think you are mistaken. Those people with over ten thousand guards are not my business, but the people of Central Plains. They have nothing to do with me. ”You probably don't know, we're just having a small fight, selling no more than five hundred horses at a time. Where did all this courage come from?”

”Humph, humph, you think we don't know? It's because it's not your business that we're looking for you. As long as you agree to do us a favor, we'll let you go. ”

”How can I help you?”

”We know that you will enter the desert at the same time as them, and that they know nothing about the desert, so they must have followed you. As long as you tell us where you are going, you don't have to care about the rest. ”

So that's how it was! It looked like Yang Lin and the others were making too much of a commotion this time, as they must have alerted quite a few people, if no one had any ideas about what was happening then it would be weird! Listening to this kidnapper's intentions, they just wanted to kill Yang Lin and the others. They must be the mounted bandit, wanting to ambush us on the way.

”This time, we are mainly looking for the Urushion's tribe. As for which road we are going to take, we are not sure. And there are also quite a few guides. When the time comes, they will take whichever path they wish to take. How would they be willing to listen to me? ”

”I don't care about that. Since you have not decided on the route yet, you should bring them to Ma Ling.”

”But how do I know you'll let me go?”

”You can only trust us on this. You have no other choice. By the way, we can find you and your family. If they don't go by the Mall, we'll destroy your family. ”

That guy's cold words scared Zhang Shiping to the point that he broke out in cold sweat. Zhang Shiping knew that it was troublesome, these fellows were all reckless mounted bandit, they were all ruthless and merciless people. Since they were going to form an alliance with their own family, they could definitely do it too, and could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

”But they have quite a few guards. If you can't beat them, you can't blame me for that.”

”Hahaha …” To tell you the truth, since you dare to hit the eagle, aren't you afraid of it pecking at your eyes? I know your situation very well. They have over ten thousand guards, but most of them are brave villagers who have never fought before.
