Chapter 207
Xie Guanglong didn't lie, the horses in Guanshi were indeed cheap.Just like the iron in Bianjun is so expensive that Liang Xiao and others can't imagine, the horses in Guanshi are also so cheap that people can't imagine.

Liang Xiao had bought a few horses in Chang'an, most of them were priced around seven or eight thousand. This refers to horses for riding and pulling carts. War horses usually cost around ten thousand, and good war horses were at least fifteen thousand.Even a pack horse that can only be used to carry things costs four or five thousand.

But in Guan City, you can buy a good war horse for four or five thousand, which is only one-third of the price in the mainland.

No wonder the tariffs are so heavy, and there are still people who trade horses from thousands of miles away, and the profits are huge.Liang Xiao and others buy horses here, and when they return to the mainland in the future, they can earn at least four or five thousand a horse, and more can earn nearly ten thousand, which is equivalent to a year's salary.

This time there was no need for Liang Xiao to mobilize, basically all the Lang Guan paid for one or two horses each out of their own pockets.There were 40 or [-] of them. According to the words of later generations, this was a group purchase, which suddenly attracted those barbarians who sold horses and horse dealers who introduced business.Hundreds of horses and dozens of people surrounded Liang Xiao and the others, eagerly selling their horses.

"So enthusiastic?" Liang Xiao was filled with emotion.

"That's not enough enthusiasm." Xie Guanglong said proudly: "Now is not the peak season, and August and September are when horses are fattest. Now those who come to sell horses are encountering difficulties. They really can't make it through, so they have to sell them in advance. .Although it’s only a month or two away, the price difference is quite a bit.”

"Why, they can't survive and won't grab it?"

"There is a price to be paid for robbing." Xie Guanglong frowned. "We Han people are not easy to bully. Three or five Huns can't take advantage of it. What we are afraid of is the kind that come in dozens or hundreds. The people can't deal with it by themselves, and the officers and soldiers have no time to rescue them. They often suffer... "

Xie Guanglong was talking, but suddenly stopped, staring straight into the distance, and murmured: "Good horse, good horse."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, following Xie Guanglong's gaze, he saw a young man riding a white horse watching the excitement outside the crowd.This white horse was tall, more than a foot taller than ordinary horses, and was completely white without a single hair.The young man on horseback was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his face was rare white, unlike the dark complexion of ordinary Huns.

Liang Xiao was alert, and at a glance he saw a few strong men scattered around the young man.Although these strong men dressed similarly to ordinary Han people, they couldn't hide their bowed legs. They were obviously men who lived on horseback all year round.They are all holding horses in their hands. There are no saddles on their backs, and they look similar to horse sellers.

These people were originally inconspicuous among the crowd, but now that most of the horse sellers are gathered by the big customers of the group buying, they stand indifferently at the same place, which is inevitably a bit abrupt.

Liang Xiao stretched out his hand to grab Xie Guanglong. "Brother Xie, these people are a little weird."

"I know." Xie Guanglong chuckled. "Probably another nobleman from the Huns. However, since they pretended to be horse dealers, no wonder I wanted to rob him of his horse. After receiving such a great gift from your lord, there is no way to repay it, so let's take this horse as a gift in return. "

Without waiting for Liang Xiao to speak, Xie Guanglong whistled, and led a few knights towards the boy on the white horse.

Liang Xiao didn't speak, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Xie Guanglong's ability.He has already experienced the skill of immediateness, and he still needs to experience the other skills.In the future, if you go out of the fortress, you may be in danger at any time. As a guide, Xie Guanglong, if you can't adapt to the situation, it will be very difficult for you to be competent.

As if sensing Liang Xiao's gaze, the boy on the white horse raised his head and glanced at Liang Xiao with a surprised expression.Obviously, he was also attracted by Qing Cong under Liang Xiao's crotch.Looking at the entire city of Guan, the only horse that can be compared to the white horse under his crotch is this green horse.

Xie Guanglong brought four or five knights and came to the young man, the two exchanged a few words, the young man shook his head, as if saying that his horses were not for sale or something.Xie Guanglong changed his face immediately, and shouted sharply: "Take it!"

The knights rushed forward, some drew their bows, some drew their swords, and surrounded the young man in the middle, full of murderous intent.

The young man frowned, stretched out his hand and waved it, signaling to those bandy-legged men who were about to come over to make a rescue.He lowered his head, thought for a while, took out a waist card from his pocket, and waved it in front of Xie Guanglong.

Xie Guanglong, who was originally arrogant, took the waist card and glanced at it, and immediately became cowardly, with a smile on his face, returned the waist card with both hands, cupped his hands again and again, and steered his horse back.The boy on the white horse glanced at him, but didn't pay attention, and steered his horse to the side casually.

Xie Guanglong returned to Liang Xiao's side with a smug smile on his face. "Sure enough, it's a fine horse, a fine rouge horse."

Liang Xiao was startled.It is obviously a white horse, but how did it become a rouge horse?
"That's a woman. I knew her smell as soon as I smelled her. I don't know which family member of the Hun King." Xie Guanglong thought for a moment, and then said: "The closest ones are King Loufan and King Aries. I haven't heard of it. King Loufan has such a beautiful daughter, is that the daughter of King Aries?"

Xie Guanglong's mandarin was not up to standard, and now he was muttering alone, speaking in local dialect, Liang Xiao couldn't understand a word, so he could only look at him puzzled.Xie Guanglong smiled embarrassedly, and quickly changed to Mandarin.

"My lord, don't worry, within half a day, I will deliver the man and the horse to your lord."

"With people and horses?"

"Yes, that's a female. She looks really good, especially her white skin, which looks like goat's milk. You can tell it at a glance..." Xie Guanglong said, with a lustful look on his face. The hand also made a caressing gesture involuntarily.

Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.Sure enough, it is the beginning of human beings, the nature of nature, the rangers in Chang'an are already rough enough, compared with the rough guys in this county, they are all gentlemen, at least they will not be as blatant as this guy.

"Are you going to rob?"

"Of course." Xie Guanglong made no secret of his intentions. "I have already sent my brothers to follow up, just wait for a secluded place to do them."

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

"What's the trouble?" Xie Guanglong rolled his eyes, and said again: "The Huns, whether they are killed or not, they all have to come. As for Mr. Feng, how does he know anything? Will Mr. Feng tell him?"

Liang Xiao shook his head.For this kind of thing, he will not be so pedantic as to talk about etiquette and morality.However, he was quite afraid of those strong men.Those people pretended to be horse sellers. There were no saddles on their horses, and they were probably masters of riding bareback horses.If that boy—the girl is really some noble person, it's normal to have a few masters around her to protect her.

"The people around him are not ordinary, can your brother deal with it?"

Xie Guanglong said confidently: "No problem. My brothers all crawled out of the pile of corpses."

Liang Xiao wasn't too worried.In his view, either do not do it, or do it cleanly.If one or two people escaped, the matter would become a big deal.

"I want to go and see, can I?"

"Of course." Xie Guanglong agreed repeatedly.

Liang Xiao found Mei Gao and talked to him.Although Mei Gao hesitated, he didn't say much, just told Liang Xiao to be careful.Liang Xiao complied, and ordered Li Shuyun to lead people to protect Mei Gao, and he took Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo, and followed Xie Guanglong all the way down.

The young man seemed to be very interested in traveling, he kept wandering around in Guan City, sometimes he got off his horse and talked to the merchants who set up street stalls, bought a few small things, and dawdled until it was getting dark before leaving Guan City and heading northwest.

Liang Xiao discovered the problem.As soon as these Huns left Guan City, they immediately accelerated, as if they were fleeing.They had clearly sensed the danger, and they wandered around the city just now, seemingly leisurely, but they were actually waiting for an opportunity.

Xie Guanglong also discovered the problem.He spat and cursed, and took off his spear as he rode forward.Liang Xiao didn't dare to be negligent, and while driving the horse forward, he took out two dang armors from the luggage, put them on his body, fastened his belt, and put on the helmet.

The Huns are good at shooting, so he didn't want to be shot to death by the Huns.The first time he played against the Huns, he met a master. He was a little excited and a little nervous.

Seeing this, Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo didn't dare to neglect, and immediately put on their armor.The two separated, Pang Shuo galloped in front of Liang Xiao on the left, and Tu Niuer followed behind Liang Xiao's right, keeping a distance of two steps, which would not affect Liang Xiao's shooting, but also protect Liang Xiao from being rushed to Liang Xiao. before.

Pang Shuo's martial arts skills were not as superb as Tu Niuer's, but he did not lose strength in his body, and his arms were longer than Liang Xiao's.In order to give full play to his advantages, Liang Xiao customized an eight-foot-long eyebrow-level iron rod for him, cut in the middle, and concealed a single-bladed and thick-backed iron rod.Pull out the iron knife, and then attach the iron handle as a handle, which is a straight knife with a long handle and a total length of one foot and three feet.

This knife cost nearly [-] yuan, nearly ten times that of an ordinary long sword. After it was made, Pang Shuo only tried to behead a sheep, but never used it in a real fight.This time, Pang Shuo was a little excited and screamed when he had the opportunity to test the power of this custom weapon with a living person.

Xie Guanglong was envious when he saw Pang Shuo transform an iron rod into a long-handled knife.But at this time, he didn't bother to say that the Huns in front were running faster and faster, and they couldn't keep up.The mounts of the two sides are obviously not on the same level. After a careful comparison, only Liang Xiao's Qing Cong runs relatively easily.

"It's okay, there is my brother in front." Xie Guanglong gritted his teeth.He was very upset to lose face in front of Liang Xiao.

"How many people are there?"

"There should be two people."

Liang Xiao took a look and called out, "Niu'er, follow me. There are too many Huns, if you don't stop them, the brothers in front can't stop them."

Tu Niu'er responded, kicked the horse fiercely, and rushed out following Liang Xiao.Although his mount is not a first-class war horse, it is not bad, and at the moment it is galloping vigorously, it is not much slower than Qing Cong.The two ran at full speed without any hesitation, and quickly approached the Huns.

Liang Xiao drew out two arrows, put them on the bow, and before he was ready to shoot, the Huns who fell behind turned around and shot an arrow.
