Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu stood in the market, staring at a few horses not far away, his eyes lit up: "Xiaoye, how much does it cost to buy a horse?"

Ye Changqing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Highness, you can call me humble Changqing." He didn't like Xiaoye at all.

"Oh, Xiaoye, is there any shortage of horses in our team? I think those horses are quite strong."

The first thing Ye Changqing saw were those horses, and he felt itchy, "Yes, those are Wusun's war horses, they will be brought here for sale, they must have been injured or sick on the battlefield, look at them Strong, it may be that these black-hearted businessmen have given medicine beforehand."

"Then it's not bad to buy it for breeding." Li Xu sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that the journey is too far away, so I can't take it with me."

In South Vietnam, there are no horses. An army without horses is incomplete. Li Xu wants to have a fully armed team.

But he also knew that it was inappropriate to bring stallions all the way there. Even the horses from the Habayashi Army were sent to the Cangzhou Racecourse yesterday. Otherwise, it would take several ships to transport just five hundred horses. How many horses will be lost on the road.

Horses are valuable goods, and ordinary people can't buy them if they have money. The loss of a horse is enough for everyone to feel distressed for a few days.

At this moment, a woman in tulle suddenly rushed out from the building beside her, stumbling forward all the way, followed by four barbarians chasing her.

Seeing that the girl was about to bump into him, Li Xu took a step aside, glanced at her as she passed by, and found that she was a beauty of foreign blood, who was more beautiful than that Loulan noble daughter.

The girl also saw Li Xu, and she judged at a glance that he was a talented person from a wealthy family and a good education. She knelt down in front of Li Xu with a "plop", grabbed his clothes and cried, "Young master, do you want to buy him?" me."

Li Xu frowned and looked at the crumpled clothes he had been caught, and calculated the price of the clothes in his mind, thinking distressedly: This trip is a loss, this clothes can be worth a hundred slaves casually.

"Let go!" Li Xu said coldly.

The chasers also arrived, and the two big men grabbed the woman and dragged her back, cursing in a foreign language. Li Xu didn't understand their language, but he could guess that it was some unpleasant words.

"Young master...Young master...help!"

Ye Changqing was also a sympathetic person, and he couldn't see this kind of scene, so he asked Li Xu anxiously: "My lord, don't we save her?"

"Why do you want to save?"

"She...beautiful."

"Oh, then you can save yourself."

"Don't, I have a humble job to do, don't dare."

"Actually, I can't afford it." Li Xu was not completely indifferent, but his ability was limited, and if he saved this woman, he would not be able to save other people. Instead, he might as well not save anyone.

The woman was dragged back into the house with her mouth covered, and she glared at Li Xu angrily, but Li Xu turned her gaze around and saw Liu Shu also coming out of the house, followed by a tall man.

When the two approached, Li Xu immediately noticed Liu Shu's abnormality. His eyes were red, and there was abnormal excitement in his eyes, as if he had taken a stimulant, but there was no abnormality in his expression.

He took a look at the man behind Liu Shu, and found that more than half of the man's face was covered with burn scars, and the scars were just burnt and hadn't healed yet. It was a bit shocking to look at.

But when Li Xu met that person's eyes, he felt a little familiar. He just came to this world not long ago, so he must not be his acquaintance. It could only belong to the original owner. And give us another slave?"

Liu Shu bit his lower lip, smiled and said, "Your Highness, this man is my servant's favorite. He is very skilled in martial arts. It's not bad to buy him back to be your bodyguard."

Li Xu said with conscience: "It's too ugly, how much did you pay for it?"

"Ten taels." Liu Shu replied cautiously. He couldn't bargain and was eager to buy people, so he must have been killed.

"Prodigal, have you confirmed his martial arts? Is it worth twelve taels?"

Liu Shu nodded quickly, and Li Xu said helplessly: "Since you bought it, let's take it back together, and ask Doctor Yan to prescribe some medicine for him, and if it doesn't work, then put on a mask. If you can't be a guard, then go with Lai San and the others." Do chores." After he finished speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "Ten taels of silver to buy a job to do chores. If you lose money, you won't be allowed to pay him a salary for a year."

Liu Shu moved his mouth, but did not refute his words.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Li Xu waved his hand and led the newly bought slave back home.

Liu Shu followed behind him, looking back from time to time, causing Ye Changqing to look back frequently.

He also felt that the burned man looked familiar, but he couldn't tell why. His face was so burnt that he couldn't recognize him even if he knew him logically.

He glanced at Li Xu, seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, and he was still staring at the horses from time to time, so he took advantage of the opportunity to talk about Wusun war horses.
