Chapter 685 Edit, continue editing

Cao Cao stabbed down with his sword and hit the ground. Then he took off his wet clothes, wrung them dry, and hung them up.

Full of anger at his own weakness.

I can't help but think, when did I have the benevolence of a woman?
How many kind-hearted people have been killed by him, how can he not let go when facing this beast?
Ning taught me to bear the spirit of the people of the world, so I was blown away by the northwest wind?

pain.

shake.

Not killing has a slight upper hand.

In fact, Yuan Tan also pretended to sleep. If Cao Cao really did it, he would do it too.

If Cao Cao didn't kill him, it was worth saving him.

……

Another day.

Yuan Tan and Cao Cao hid in the grass, and through the gap, they looked at hundreds of hideous Di tribe cavalry not far away.

Seeing what the leading general said, these cavalrymen turned their horses' heads and left in a blink of an eye.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiansi, these Di people really linger, but fortunately they dare not just trespass on the Qiang territory."

The perseverance of the Di people forced them to enter the territory of the Qiang people to escape.

Yuan Tan thought for a while, "The Qiang people are called the nation on the clouds, and they love peace. There are many Chinese and Turks living in the gathering area on the border, and they carry out bilateral trade. Do you know this?"

Cao Cao suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was not simple, and his territory was thousands of miles away from the Qiang people, so he had learned about the situation of the Qiang people long ago.

He was in the northwest region before, so he knew the situation of the Qiang people very well, "That's right, brother, let's go to the gathering place to rest for a while, collect supplies, or send someone back to deliver news."

Yuan Tan nodded.

the next day.

Cao Cao stood on the grassland and pointed to it, "Look at Xiansi, that's where it is."

Yuan Tan built a pergola with his hands. Only when he was deep in the prairie did he realize the insignificance of a person and the breadth of his heart.

Not far away, there is a large gathering place, all of which are tents like yurts, which are very distinctive.

This is a Qiang tribe.

Yuan Tan and Cao Cao gradually approached each other.

There is a wooden city wall around the gathering place, and the city gate is tall, filled with flags and Qiang guards.

However, they just looked at Yuan and Tan with disdain, and did not stop them from entering.

Every year, there are Chinese people who come to trade.Or the people who fled, or the gentry who stood in the wrong team and lost in troubled times.

No matter what your identity was before, it is the same when you come to this brand new world.

a while.

Gathering market.

It was bustling, with thousands of people gathered, and the sound of hawking came and went.

There are Chinese and Qiang people.

Some sell chickens, ducks and poultry, some sell cattle, horses, sheep and livestock, and some sell various groceries.There are also women who sell women and slaves.

The architectural style of the Qiang nationality has a special exotic color.

Hanfu and Qiang costumes are mixed, which also has a certain flavor.

It is impossible to move anywhere without money.

So two people came here.

Cao Cao stared blankly, only then realized how to purchase the materials back without money.Before, I planned to send someone back to tell the story, but now I know it was just a joke.

At this moment, my stomach growls with hunger.

The king, left government and military affairs, and faced life, suddenly found himself at a loss.

All those who passed by the two, whether they were Chinese or Qiang, all looked at them with contempt.

"You two, are you working as coolies? Or are you selling yourself... People always want to live." A Qiang master came with two followers, one of whom was a native of China.

The Qiang people are still proud of having servants from the Middle Earth.

He looked up and down, especially Yuan Tan, who is so strong, he must be able to endure hardships and stand hard work.

Canglang, Cao Cao was furious, and pulled out a piece of Yitian sword.

The master of the Qiang nationality snorted coldly, he didn't look like an ordinary middle-earth man in distress, and he didn't want to make trouble, so he walked away.

"Xiansi, what should we do now?" Cao Cao felt that although it was safe to come here, it was getting farther and farther away from going back.

"Sell goods." Yuan Tan took out something from his arms.

It was only as small as a thumb, Cao Cao was full of disbelief, "What is this?"

"Nail clippers."

"So small? How much is it worth?"

Yuan Tan smiled, "Meng De, you don't understand this. You need to understand the psychology of customers... These nail clippers are not ordinary things. They are worthless in the eyes of the poor, but priceless in the eyes of the rich."

"Just brag about it." Cao Cao felt that it was unreliable at all, that there was not enough food for him, and if he sold it, he would not be given food.

You still need to work hard.

So he planned to sell his robe, and said: "Well, you can sell it here, and I will think of other ways."

Cao Cao went to the river first and washed his robe. After the wind dried it, it was still brand new.

He also took the opportunity to clean himself.

Then I came to the pawn shop in the market excitedly. From the appearance, it should be opened by a Chinese.

The shopkeeper standing at the counter watched a six-foot-tall, dark-skinned, short black and wretched uncle walk in.Wearing only a white undershirt, well, this is the worst refugee I've seen in this period of time.

After all, without fleeing, who would come to a place of a foreign race to survive?

Without raising your eyelids, "What are you doing?"

"Splendid Mountain and River Robe!" Cao Cao said proudly. When he came closer, he found that the person at the counter was taller than himself.

"Hey, you are quite famous." The shopkeeper took a look at it, and his heart skipped a beat. It was really a rare and high-quality Dahongpao.Look at the pattern, workmanship, material, and the best of the best.

After the surprise, just smile.I didn't expect that this little black dwarf, and other things like this, must be the gentry who were destroyed in troubled times.

"This little black brother."

"Xiao Hei?" Cao Cao looked at himself and was furious, but he had to bow his head under the low eaves.

"Five knives." The shopkeeper extended a slap.I thought that this person must be a gentry, if it was a few years ago, I would have kowtowed when I saw it, feeling inexplicably refreshed, looking at the pair of eyes exposed under the counter.

Cao Cao's eyes could only go to the counter, thinking that there is no business without cheating, and building such a tall counter is good for playing tricks inside, right?
The Qiang people still use Dao coins, and now a Dao is equivalent to one tael of silver.

Cao Cao was very angry, "Look at it, take a good look at it, the high-quality Shu brocade is not available to ordinary wealthy families, and it costs at least 100 knives."

"Is it right? I can tell you clearly, only our family will give you five knives." The shopkeeper said impatiently.

As a hero of the generation, Cao Cao is very good at distinguishing the authenticity of a person's speech, he gritted his teeth, "Damn it!"

The shopkeeper said happily: "Write, insects eat and rats bite, bare and hairless, and a piece of middle-earth torn robe."

Cao Cao became impatient again, "What kind of insects eat rats, what kind of bare boards and hairless clothes, what kind of broken robes from the middle soil? Did Li Daitao go stiff when I came to redeem him?"

"Sir, you are clever." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"..." Cao Cao was very bitter. At this time, he remembered what Yuan Tan said, to understand the customer's heart. He didn't understand it before, but now he understands it.

……

ten minutes later.

Cao Cao bought a shabby dress and wore it outside. With more than four knives in his pocket, he felt a little more at ease. At least eating was not a problem during this time.

I can't help but think, how much can Yuan Tan's nail clippers sell for?It's only a dozen pennies, right?

By then he will have nothing to eat....

Thinking of food, my stomach became even hungrier, and suddenly there was a burst of wheat fragrance.

A store had just steamed ten steamed buns, and the layers were opened, steaming hot.

Cao Cao immediately walked over, "How much is one?"

"Great General Mantou, three coins a piece. Middle-earth people, let's have one, nostalgic."

"General... steamed buns." Cao Cao's face darkened, and he remembered that the steamed buns were invented by Yuan Tan.You said that if a great general in the dynasty does not go to training, he still has time to invent steamed buns?What's on my mind all day.

"Three pennies for the general, it's really cheap." Cao Cao said harshly.

"Then how many do you want?"

"Two."

The shopkeeper immediately rolled his eyes, wondering how much it would cost.

It is said that Cao Cao held a steamed bun in his arms, and slowly chewed one in his hand, before returning to the previous place.

Yuan Tan was still standing there, but there was a large carriage parked beside him, and a veiled lady was cutting her nails under the protection of some guards.

"It's really a strange thing." The lady said.

"Ma'am, you have a good eye. You know, I've been selling here for a month, and many people want to buy it, but I didn't sell it. They don't deserve this nail clipper."

"I'll send you money." The lady got into the carriage with her nail clippers.

Yuan Tan didn't want to come back either. Instead, he touched his heart with his hand, following the etiquette of the Qiang people, "Don't worry, walk slowly."

"Aren't you afraid that she won't give you the money if she takes it?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Yuan Tan turned around and saw Cao Cao eating steamed buns.

It's very exciting to eat, and it's not too big to bite.Do you really want to eat, do you want to eat?

"Meng De, you have to understand the psychology of customers..." Yuan Tan didn't expect that Cao Cao pawned all his robes, and now he looks like a slave.

"Okay, okay, stop bragging about your stuff." Cao Cao held up the steamed bun and shook it in front of Yuan Tan, "How much did it cost? Is it enough for a meal?" He gnawed on the steamed bun, deliberately greedy look.

Yuan Tan said lightly, "It sold for a thousand knives."

"Cough cough cough..." Cao Cao choked on the steamed buns and coughed out a piece before he could speak, "Make it up, keep making it up! Even if your nail clippers are made of gold, they're not worth so much money."
