In the side room, Song Lianhe treated Hu Shang's wounds. He stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to her: "I just couldn't bear it anymore."

Song Lianhe shook his head and pointed at Fu Wu, who had been waiting beside him, "He is the one you should apologize to."

Fuwu was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no..."

Hu Shang was also a man of heroic temperament. Without saying a word, he immediately clasped his fists towards Fu Wu and said, "I was the one below just now, so please forgive me!"

"Master, you...you..."

Fu Wu stood there at a loss, while Song Lianhe patted him on the shoulder and raised his hand to Hu Shang: "Okay, that's it. We don't know each other even if we don't know each other. May I ask you your name?"

"I'm in Xia Kuilang, running a horse business. May I ask my lady's surname?"

"Song."

"Miss Song, I have offended many people before. As a man, how can I take action against a woman? I am really ashamed of myself, but Miss Song has put aside the blame and saved me. This kind of magnanimity is better than that of countless men."

Song Lianhe smiled and said, "Brother Kuilang, you and I are both passionate people and we are very compatible. Why don't you sit down and have a few cups of tea?"

"That would be disrespectful."

After sitting down, after chatting for a few words, Song Lianhe led the conversation to his robbed horse.

Kui Lang said dejectedly: "These two hundred horses were originally going to be transported to Yuzhou..."

"Yuzhou?" Song Lianhe was surprised: "That is the territory of King Yongdong. I heard that there is a war with the imperial court there."

Kui Lang nodded, and then explained: "We are businessmen, and businessmen are driven by profit. Although this sounds unkind, the fact is that the war in your country has nothing to do with our country, Wuxi."

Song Lianhe expressed his understanding: "If you buy, you will sell. The fault is not horse dealers like Brother Kui Lang or the two hundred horses. It's the world and people."

After hearing this, Kui Lang was shocked and said, "Ms. Song, I'd like to drink tea instead of wine. I'd like to toast you with this cup!"

After drinking, Song Lianhe asked again: "I heard that all these horses were robbed?"

"Alas! There is a desert near the border of Suining called Gnosa River. There is a group of robbers there who specialize in robbing foreign businessmen like us. We are also miserable. It is useless to report to the official. That desert land is between Between Dacheng, Wuqi and the Nanchen Kingdom, where the three countries meet, how dare they easily send troops to suppress it? What's more, the Genosa River is notorious as a hell on earth. Not to mention the bad weather, sandstorms and quicksand occur from time to time, so outsiders dare not rush there. Enter. Therefore, no one takes care of it, and over time, this group of robbers becomes even more rampant!"

“If it’s so dangerous, why must we enter Dacheng from the Gnosa River?”

"Transporting livestock and other living animals is different from those goods. The longer it takes on the road, the greater the losses we have to bear! For example, the feed and drinking water required on the road, as well as the wages of the grooms and losses, etc. are the most serious. Even if an epidemic occurs, once it is contracted along the way, the entire army will be wiped out. Therefore, even if they know that the Gnosa River is dangerous, many merchants will choose to risk crossing it."

This reminded Song Lianhe of the Xiata Ancient Road on the ancient Silk Road.

"Brother Kui Lang, what are your plans now?"

"I originally wanted King Yongdong to help me, but he turned his back on me and asked for the deposit back, completely ignoring my losses!" Kui Lang got very angry when he mentioned this: " At the beginning, he repeatedly begged me and even took the initiative to raise the price. We have cooperated many times and he is a regular customer, so I decided to take the risk to escort him on this trip!"

He sighed and blamed himself: "I am also greedy for this big business, and I did not hesitate to use all my wealth to collect the best war horses for him in Wuzhi country! But something happened, and he didn't care about my life or death at all. …”

After hearing this, Song Lianhe said pertinently: "Brother Kui Lang is right, it is your greed that caused this situation. Brother Kui Lang should know who King Yongdong is. Now that Dacheng is going to attack Yuzhou, he Brother Kui Lang has never had any doubts about asking you to buy so many war horses at this juncture?"

Kui Lang looked at her: "Miss, what you mean is..."

Song Lianhe said slowly: "Even if these horses are delivered as promised, Brother Kui Lang may not be able to get the remaining money."

Kui Lang was stunned, "How dare he... isn't he afraid that no one will do business with him anymore?"

"...What if something happens to Brother Kui Lang?"

Kui Lang took a breath.

For a while, he stopped talking again.

"So, although the horse is gone, Brother Kui Lang can escape unharmed. This is something to be thankful for."

Kui Lang sighed heavily, "Miss Song is right."

Just when Kuilang was about to accept his fate, Song Lianhe suddenly said: "You just said that the horse was robbed by bandits from the Gnosa River? Can you elaborate on it? How can we find them?"

Kui Lang was puzzled, "Why is Miss Song looking for them?"

Song Lianhe smiled, "If you lose something, naturally you have to get it back!"

"But...but how can we get this back? Those people are all extremely vicious desperadoes!"

"What a coincidence, I am also a wicked person, and my reputation in Ling'an is also in ruins!"

Facing this beautiful woman like a flower in front of him, Kui Lang could not connect her with an "evil person" no matter what.

"Hey, Miss Song, please stop joking."

Song Lianhe then said seriously: "I'm not kidding. It's just that I want to make a deal with Brother Kui Lang. If I can really find these two hundred war horses, you will sell them all to me at a discount."

Seeing that she was confident in what she said, Kui Lang couldn't help but think of the hidden weapons that had hit him from different positions just now...

After calming down and thinking about it again, if he made another big move, he would definitely take his life!

Looking at her temperament, she is not as simple as an ordinary lady! Maybe she really has this ability!

So Kui Lang slapped the table and said, "If Miss Song can really find these horses, I will sell them to you at half the price!"

Song Lianhe immediately called Fu Wu, "Brother Kui Lang, don't mind if you create written evidence as evidence now."

Kui Lang didn't expect her to be so rigorous in her work, so he hurriedly said: "Of course not!"

So Fu Wu brought pen and ink, and after Song Lianhe wrote the contract, he read it to him. After the two confirmed that it was correct, they each signed and sealed it.

Afterwards, Kuilang said goodbye.

After getting the contract, Song Lianhe was very happy, "Unexpectedly, there is such an unexpected gain."

Daxi looked on but was not optimistic, "Even our locals will not rush into the Genosa River, let alone provoke those desperadoes. What are you going to do to snatch these horses back?"

"Haha, don't worry about this, I have a way!"

Song Lianhe was full of confidence.

At the same time, Zhou Junlin also received news.

"...She's going to find those two hundred war horses?"

"Yes, she mentioned Ling'an City to that Hu merchant at that time."

Gu Ha immediately frowned: "Does she think that if she presents these horses to the prince, she will be favored by the prince? Huh, what a crazy dream!"

Zhou Junlin was startled and raised his eyes to look at him: "You mean, she did this... for me?"
