Chapter 110, either give money!
Chapter 110, either give money!
Shimen Town.
This is a major town outside the pass, a place where merchants and deserts of the West Wind Empire and some nomadic people barter transactions. Some goods transported from the pass are also agreed to be unloaded here, so naturally relevant partners come to pick up the goods. The goods are safely transported to Shimen Town, which is the completion of this trip.
"A walk in Shimen Town, wear gold and silver to drink wing soup."
This proverb is enough to show the high profits of Shimen Town's transaction volume.
Shimen Town is an independent town with no village in front or shop in the back. It stands alone between the Gobi Desert.
Although it belongs to the West Wind Empire, it is not managed and protected by the border troops of the Empire. Merchants from all directions gathered here, which also supported the prosperity of this lonely town. There are all kinds of religions and various fish and dragons. It is hard to imagine that the old man sitting in the corner sleeping is a resentful criminal of the empire, and you will definitely not know that the young man who is smartly planning his abacus is a flower-picking thief---
Shimen Town has a giant arched gate, made of three huge stones simply piled up.
It is said that it was the handwriting of Lu Jian, a border guard hundreds of years ago. Lu Jian guarded the border with the top level of Xianyun. When facing the attack of powerful enemies in the desert, he cut off Qingming Mountain and took three big stones to build this stone gate. He also said: If the enemy in the desert dares to step over this gate, I will kill him.
When the desert cavalry saw these three simple stacked but magnificent Dashimen, hesitated and retreated after repeated attempts.
Shimen Pass was named after the battle, and someone established a town after the pass, so the current Shimen Town was founded.
Today is not a good weather, the autumn style is cold and the sand is particularly thick.
In the midst of the wind and dust, a long convoy was marching towards Shimen Pass.
The caravan composed of dozens of large cars is neither large nor small in size, and it is not a big deal for the people of Shimen Town who are used to big scenes.
However, what surprised them was that the convoy of dozens of carriages only saw the horses and the cargo behind the carriage, but there was no groom's bodyguard's staff officer.
"What's going on? Why didn't a living person see him?"
"Hahaha, I have only seen people selling goods, but I have never seen horses doing business---- Can these horses still collect some money after handing over the goods?"
"It must have been that I met a Shaji, and none of the people in the caravan escaped-----How come the Shaji did not steal the goods? Did the dog change his shit-eating temperament?"
------
The first horse pulled the truck into Shimen Pass, and then dozens of large trucks entered.
From the end of the team, a black horse rushed out.
A young boy was sitting on the horse, one man and one sword, and rushed over with a whole convoy.
The young man had a black hair and a black face, and was covered in dust. The original color of the clothes on his body could no longer be seen, and he looked dirty.
A few idle men wanted to find out where they came from, but before they got close, they retreated in horror.
The smell of blood on the teenagers was so strong that they were so angry that they wanted to vomit.
Li Muyang dragged his head, horse and horse reins, and led the convoy into Shimen Square in Shimen Town.
He glanced around, ignored other people's guidance and discussion, and shouted hoarsely: "Who will receive the goods from the Wanli Escort Agency of Guanzhong?"
Among the crowd, several men wearing fur coats and fur hats came out.
They rode their horses, carrying arrows and slashing horses, and these people were obviously nomadic peoples on the grassland.
The bearded man in the leader stared at Li Muyang with alert eyes and asked, "Who are you? Where are the escorts from the Wanli Escort Agency?"
"I am Li Muyang, and I am a friend of Gan Yang, a escort boss of Wanli Escort Agency---Who are you?"
"We want this batch of medicinal materials." The bearded man said in a deep voice: "You are Gan Yang's friend. Where are Gan Yang? Are there any managers and friends? Without their documents, how can we hand over?"
Li Muyang reached into his arms, took out a piece of paper, and said, "I'll hand over the goods to you, you'll hand me the silver bill. Let's clear the money and goods, and then both parties put a note on this contract------this is what I got from the manager."
The bearded man looked at the contract and said, "Where are theirs?"
"Dead." Li Muyang said.
"How did you die?"
"Killed by the sand."
“---------”
After hearing Li Muyang's words, everyone was talking.
Some people sympathize with the Wanli Escort Agency and the escorts in charge, while others condemn the Shazo's atrocities again and again.
The bearded man pondered for a moment and said, "Give me a look at the contract."
Li Muyang handed over the contract.
The bearded man took over the contract and tore it with a "hiss".
"We won't do this business anymore," said the bearded man. He looked at Li Muyang with a smile and said, "We are not familiar with people. We are unsure of doing business. What if the goods are wrong? What if the medicinal materials you sent are inferior goods? Otherwise, how do you transport them back----"
Li Muyang looked at him expressionlessly, and waited for him to continue saying that he would not go.
Sure enough, he still has the following words.
The bearded man felt a little uncomfortable by Li Muyang's calm expression, but he still had to finish what he should say.
He looked at Li Muyang and said, "You said that the escorts and managers of the Wanli Escort Agency were all killed by Sha Zuo. Who are you? How did you come here? How did you get this batch of goods?"
"I said that I am a friend of Gan Yang."
"Friend? You're not a sand thief, are you?" the bearded man said coldly.
As soon as this was said, everyone in Shimen Square was unsheathed and ready to rush up to kill.
They are all businessmen who rely on this Shimen Square to have a meal. If a thief dares to come here to make a decision, it is to steal their jobs and cut off their financial resources. They will fight with them even if they are willing to do so.
Li Muyang still had a weak expression and was not moved by the bearded man's intentional anger at all.
He glanced at the paper scraps on the ground and said, "It's all for a bite of food, why do you have to do this? In order to deliver this goods, all the thirty-two escorts from the Wanli Escort Agency were dead, and the manager and six of them were also dead - these were exchanged for their lives. It was also the last time they could earn some hard work for their family members in their lives. Give me the money and I'll give you the goods. Let's just settle the two of them, wouldn't it be good?"
The bearded man was unmoved and said in a cold voice: "I said, I can't accept this guy. We people in the desert value the most. If I say that if I trade with, I have to trade with whom I will never break my promise-------What if you are a sand thief, you kill someone and rob the goods, and then take the money from me? I am worthy of my partners? I am worthy of those escorts and escorts at the Wanli Escort Agency?"
"What do you want?" Li Muyang looked at him and asked.
"It's what you want." The bearded man said in a cold voice: "First, you can transport this batch of freight back. Where to transport it, and then transport it back from the original route. Or transport it to your Sand Thieves Base Camp. Second, you can give me this batch of freight and we re-convene a price-----"
This is considered blackmail.
If he said that he would transport this batch of medicinal materials back. Not to mention whether there would be any dangers on the way, whether he could survive. Even if the road was damaged, it would be an astronomical figure. At that time, what profit would this batch of medicinal materials be? Where did the medicinal materials come from? Where did the escort pay come from?
As for what he said to give him the goods and re-negotiate, it would be to take advantage of the situation and rob.
After they were sure of their food, Li Muyang could not transport the medicinal materials back, so he could only ship them out of the stone gate needle. Apart from them, other families would probably not come to grab the goods with him---- In this way, he would give the other party some money, and wouldn’t he pick up this large amount of goods for nothing? You know, medicinal materials are rare things, and transported to Loulan City in the desert will be worth hundreds of times.
"What if I don't agree with these two?" Li Muyang said.
The bearded man laughed with his many companions around him. He looked at Li Muyang and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Why do you all force me?" Li Muyang took off the Tongtian Sword from his waist and murmured: "Why do you all force me? Those sand thieves forced me, so I killed them all. Now you also want to force me----"
choke-------
The Tongtian Sword was unsheathed, and the bright light shone on the eyes of everyone in Shimen Square.
The bearded man looked gloomy and asked, "You said------ you killed all the sand thieves?"
"Yes." Li Muyang looked at the bearded man and said, "I killed those sand thieves and their tribe members-----"
"You---------" The bearded man obviously didn't believe it. Li Muyang was only one, and he was so young. How capable could he have even when he started practicing martial arts while he was breastfeeding?
He knew the abilities of those sand thieves and the scale of the sand thieves. Even if he only wiped out a group of people, it would require great power to achieve it.
"I'm not used to explaining to others-----" Li Muyang raised his sword flat, looked at the bearded man and said, "Either give me money or die."

Guanzhong. Wanli Escort Agency.
The old archer fell to the ground weakly, holding a large silver box in his arms, his eyes were dull, and his voice weakly said, "It's gone, it's gone----------"
Dirty courtyard.
A woman was sitting on the bed making clothes. When she heard the footsteps outside, the wrinkles on her face stretched out and shouted happily: "Ryozi, Liangzi is back--------"
After a long time, a strange voice said, "I am not Liangzi, I am Liangzi's friend-----he has a ward to send you, so I'll give you something."
Li Muyang walked to the head of the bed and put a bag of gold coins into the woman's hand.
"Ryozi's friend?" The woman looked at Li Muyang with confusion and asked, "Where is Liangzi? Where has Liangzi gone?"
"He's gone----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ryoko-------" the woman wailed sadly.
