Chapter 266 Batu

In fact, even if Sanniang didn't say it, Zhao Changhe would have needed to go to the market.

Because what Yue Hongling asked him to bring was not food and water. She could just grab some from the caravan to deal with it for a few days. Bringing too much would be a burden. Food and water were what Zhao Changhe planned to prepare for himself.

Yue Hongling needed him to bring more supplies such as medicine and hidden weapons, which had been used up long ago; it would be best if he brought a good bow, which was particularly useful in this environment. She had brought it when she left the retreat earlier, but it broke long ago; she also wanted him to bring some clothes. She had lost all her clothes except the last set, and even this set was slightly damaged. That was fine, but it was also rotten.

Other things were easy to say, but Yue Hongling would never ask others to bring clothes, but since it was Zhao Changhe, it seemed that he could...

Zhao Changhe was walking around the market, and after thinking about it, he still felt that Yue Hongling was so amazing.

She had been wandering alone in the vast grassland for about three months, and she was truly surrounded by enemies and had no supplies. But he still galloped around, killed the Black Wolf King, robbed various merchants, and beat the Hu people to special encirclement and restrictions on the attribute of "women", and beat Qiao Er and other caravans on the road with lingering fears of "single horse bandits".

Even when they ran out of ammunition and food, they still made people lose their temper when they saw the red shadow.

Zhao Changhe had to admit that he couldn't do this kind of thing, not only because of his strength, but also because of his heart that could endure loneliness.

But Zhao Changhe subconsciously still had some small worries.

The Hu people's strong men were basically mobilized on the front line. There might be fewer in the rear, but there should be some. For example, there should be masters stationed in the Changshengtian Temple.

Because there were few people, they couldn't run around the world to find Yue Hongling's traces, and it was even more difficult to meet by chance, so Yue Hongling should have never met a very strong strong man. But once the whereabouts were determined by someone, it would be very likely to fall into a dangerous situation.

Yue Hongling shouldn't have thought of this. After running out of ammunition and food, there was no need to stay here and hold on. It would only take about five days to go back to Yanmen by galloping. What made her stay here? What important idea did she want to complete before leaving?

While thinking, she bought the things she needed in the market.

Medicines, hidden weapons, bows and arrows were all easy to deal with. She picked a good bow for herself, but she was troubled by choosing clothes.

There are many women's ready-made clothes here, but there are very few Middle-earth styles. They are all grassland and Western styles. The most are the ones worn by Hu Ji, with arms and waists exposed and a few cloth belts wrapped around them, and long skirts underneath. If you buy this for Sisi, she might be willing to wear it. Yue Hongling will kick you to death.

Central Plains styles can only be seen occasionally, and only skirts can be seen. It is understandable that if the Hu people want to buy women's clothes from the Central Plains, it is obviously to dress up their own girls. They are all formal dresses and long skirts or even palace clothes. There is no market for knight-errant clothes here.

Sanniang's ordinary thorn cloth skirt is low-cut. I don't know where she bought it. I guess it's custom-made? Anyway, it's not suitable to buy it from her. Yue Hongling doesn't accept it either.

I didn't expect that she would get stuck on such a small matter...

"I said, don't you have any working people here?" Zhao Changhe couldn't help asking the owner of the clothing store.

"Ah? What is that?"

"It's a woman who does rough work."

"I say, you are from the Central Plains, are you not smart? This is a market outside the Great Wall, there are not many natives, and there are two kinds of women, one is the slave girl who was transported here, and the other is people of status. The slave girls were transported here because they are beautiful, not for work, just remove the movable character and it will be almost the same."

Zhao Changhe rakes his head, thinks for a long time before saying: "Then give me a set of men's clothes, thin type, this should be available, right? It's about the same height as me. Pants, not the kind with skirts."

The boss threw a set of white men's clothes over. Zhao Changhe grabbed it and felt that the fabric was good. He didn't unfold it to take a closer look. He put it in the package and asked: "Where is the market for rare items? I didn't see it after walking around. For example, treasures with special effects, antiques, or things that no one can identify..."

"You are going in the wrong direction, the other side is the market for rare items."

"Thank you."

Zhao Changhe left with the bag and looked up at the animal farm next to him. This huge arena and slave auction house is the core of the entire market, and that Wu Commander is the local tyrant in it.

The major areas of the market are built around this place, and there are also various restaurants and inns around it. Han Wubing now lives nearby, which is convenient for observing the situation of this place from a close distance. Sanniang's inn occupies the best entrance point from the outside to the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The whole place looks very high-end and classy, ​​and there should be many masters sitting inside. Zhao Changhe has never been very interested in the situation inside, always feeling that it has nothing to do with him.

Walking around the animal field to the opposite side, you can see the strange object market. Zhao Changhe roughly browsed along it. There are many kinds of antiques, good and bad, but basically they only dare to claim to be antiques of this era, and no one dares to brag about things from the previous era.

I don’t know if it’s really nothing, or if they are afraid of showing off their wealth. Once the things from the last era are exposed, everyone in the Heavenly Ranking will be interested in them. It seems unrealistic to sell them in the market...

When I think of this, I wonder if I should find a chance to go to the zoo...If there are any rare items for auction, it is most likely there. I feel that Han Wubing is squatting here for this reason. That guy is a sword fanatic. He can't say that he has any interest and passion in the Hu-Han War, but he is not as interested as I am. This place where the wind and clouds gather is conducive to his experience and treasure hunting.

Just as he was thinking about whether to exchange information with Han Wubing, he suddenly saw an acquaintance in front of him.

——The Batu who once fought against Zhao Changhe in Yangzhou with Chi Li is said to be the direct descendant of He Lei. It should be logical that he is a nephew, and it is not known whether he is his biological son.

Zhao Changhe's heart was moved. It was said that the War Lion tribe had been having a hard time recently. He Lei, the leader of the tribe, died unexpectedly in the Middle Earth, which was a devastating blow to the tribe. The tribe itself is in a fight over matters such as inheritance rights, and other tribes are ready to stir up trouble because of their unrest, possibly even including the Great Khan Temur.

According to Sanniang, the food for the Qiao family's caravan was supposed to be sold to the War Lion Tribe, but it ended up being sold to the Wild Wolf Tribe halfway through. It's very likely that the War Lion Tribe didn't even know who had stolen the food. This is A very typical microcosm.

According to Cui Yuanyong, there are not many people in the Desolate Wolf tribe and they are a weak tribe. Even such a small force dares to take a bite of the War Lion tribe. This shows that Batu is really sad now...

At this time, Batu was talking to a man from the prairie. He looked so excited that he couldn't hear clearly from a distance. Zhao Changhe calmly moved to a nearby antique stall, pretending to pick something, but in fact he was eavesdropping quietly.

Batu was waving his arms: "I can give you jewelry, but I can't give you that thing! Otherwise, my uncle will not forgive me in the Immortal Heaven!"

The man said: "But you want food. Don't you know that food is in extremely short supply at this time. The Great Khan is getting more and more urgent to tackle the key problem. This is why he conquered Yanmen and everyone entered the pass to eat. Food, treasure, and women are all available. If he can't defeat it, he will Prepare for a cold winter, it’s not uncommon for many people to freeze to death and starve to death.”

If someone is going to freeze to death and starve to death, Batu's tribe is now the most dangerous one. This person looked like he was presenting facts and being reasonable, but in fact he was a naked threat.

Batu's voice was very angry: "Hulie, my uncle was very kind to you back then..."

Hu Lie... Zhao Changhe had seen this name on the Troubled Times List, and it was number 41.

There really is a list of people here, and the ranking is not low. Zhao Changhe frowned tightly. Could this be related to Yue Hongling?

Hu Lie said lightly: "Here is your uncle, but he is also the uncle of your other brothers. Who can others help? I know that you are the closest to me, but others don't think so. I am the only one willing to help you. If it’s divided, can you try with someone else?”

Batu said: "What's the difference between you and them? They want to devour my tribe, and you want our treasures!"

Hu Lie said: "That's different. At least I am really willing to give you food. But they just want to swallow your people and treasures together."

Batu fell silent.

Although Hu Lie also took advantage of the situation, these words were true. Compared to others, Hu Lie was reluctant to help.

Of course, no one knows whether they will fall out once they get the treasure. Even if they are given food first, they can still take it back.

Do you want to gamble on Hu Lie's reputation? There seemed to be no other way to go.

Seeing his silence, Hu Lie looked at the sky and said, "I have other important things to do when I come to Huangshaji, so I don't have time to chat with you here. You might as well think about it carefully. When I come back from doing things in the evening, I'll treat you to a drink and we'll discuss it later." ”

Batu said: "Come to kill Yue Hongling?"

Hu Lie knocked his head: "Yes, you have met Yue Hongling... Do you want to come with me?"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Batu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not in the mood. I'll ask others..."

Hu Lie simply laughed angrily: "You brainless fool. If you ask a few more people, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Huangshaji alive! Nowadays, every family has to save some dignity, and it's not good to openly sweat in a place. It’s just a move against you, don’t give me a toast or a fine… I don’t care, I don’t want you to hit a wall!”

After saying that, he walked away.

Batu remained silent for a long time, sitting in the booth with his knees in his arms.

He is actually selling jewelry here!

Zhao Changhe calmly walked to his stall and picked up a string of bracelets: "How to sell them?"

Batu pointed to the sign next to him sadly: "No money, just food, cattle and sheep."

Zhao Changhe looked at him for a long time and suddenly said: "How can you exchange food for tens of thousands of people like this?"

Batu squinted his eyes and looked at him: "What do you want to say, Central Plains man."

"It's not like you haven't done business with people from the Central Plains, right?"

"Of course. Do you have a lot of food?"

"I don't have it, but I know where it is, and it's something you can really afford. How about exchanging news with you?"

Batu asked: "What news do you want?"

"What kind of arrangement did they make to kill Yue Hongling?"

Batu's eyes became sharp and he stared at Zhao Changhe without blinking.

Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Yue Hongling killed the Black Wolf King and has no grudge against your War Lion tribe. Do you think her life is more important, or your tribe's food?"

Batu's eyes dimmed and he sighed: "You are right. But I don't know their arrangement either."

"Didn't they invite you just now? As long as you participate, it's fine. By the way, take me with you? How about I be your bodyguard?"

Batu said: "Where can I get the guards from the Central Plains?"

"I'm going to change your clothes, who can tell who I am from?" Zhao Changhe said impatiently: "Is this how the grassland lions are stained? Can you just say a word!"

Batu gritted his teeth: "Okay."
