Bao Qing was very satisfied with this transaction, but the question came again, what to do with the twenty carts of grain? "Sir, are these Liao people really crazy? Not only is this food precious, but these horses are also an important military material. Normally, the Liao people are prohibited from selling horses to the Song Dynasty. I didn't expect so many good horses to be given away today. "Zhang Long said. Bao Qing really didn¡¯t realize this problem. Twenty carts of grain were basically carts pulled by two horses. If you calculate it this way, you will make a lot of money from this business. This pound of tea can be exchanged for such military supplies. I am afraid that when the important officials in the court were drinking tea, they never thought that such a business could be done. "Have someone contact Commander Li and find a way to transport the grain and horses back. At the same time, notify him and ask him to break camp and move closer to the Yizhou grain road, so that he can support us at any time." "Yes, sir! I'll do it right now!" "Zhang Long responded. "Brother Bao, I really didn't expect that they actually exchanged grain for tea." Cao Yun sighed. "Drinking tea can be addictive, especially for Liao people. They eat meat all day long and believe that they have too much gastrointestinal fat. Drinking an appropriate amount of tea can help them cleanse their stomachs. Of course, the tea tastes good. Haha, I also think of it as Drinks!" Bao Qing said nonsensically, and Cao Yun was stunned for a moment. Although the weather was cold along the way, Cao Yun was obviously a little excited and kept asking questions. Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came over. "What did you find? So panicked!" Zhang Long asked involuntarily when he saw the scout looking very anxious. "Sir, a Song caravan was found not far away, but the scouts sent by the caravan also saw us, and the other party seemed to be very scared. As soon as they found me, they turned around and ran away!" "Since it was the Song caravan that saw us, The people of Song Dynasty are all our own people, so they should not be afraid. Is there any problem? Zhang Long, please take some people to take a look, and at the same time, give an order to everyone to prepare for battle." Bao Qing said. After the herald passed the order, all the soldiers immediately put their bows and crossbows in their arrow boxes, and then placed them on the carriages to hide them. Zhang Long pulled out the long Mo Dao from the horse's back, tore off the cloth strips wrapped around it, clamped the horse's back with his legs, and clasped the Mo Dao with one hand. The horse neighed and took a dozen people with him. The crossbowmen galloped away. ¡¡ Let¡¯s say that the reconnaissance cavalry sent by the Thirteenth Prince reported that they had discovered the Song caravan. As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Long and a team of people could be seen coming up from a distance. "What kind of caravan is this? It's cavalry! Get your guys quickly and get ready to fight!" Hu Fei shouted. "No, if the other party is an army, there must be reinforcements nearby. If we are discovered, we will not be able to escape at all. Now we can only continue to pretend to be a business trip, everyone hide all weapons! Hurry." The Thirteenth Prince said anxiously. After a while, Zhang Long and his soldiers arrived in front of him. "Who are you? Where are you going?" Zhang Long immediately raised his knife and asked loudly. Hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince had no choice but to drive his horse forward to answer. "We are merchants near Bazhou. We took the goods to Yizhou to sell them and wanted to exchange them for a better price." "Don't you know that Song and Liao are at war? Aren't you afraid of encountering some accidents? Open the cargo box and take a look." Zhang Long shouted. Although the Thirteenth Prince was somewhat reluctant, he still opened the box. Zhang Long looked at it and saw that it was just some pieces of cloth. Zhang Long didn't check all the boxes one by one, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, be careful on the road!" After that, he took the people away. "Looking at the appearance of the leading young general, he should be a frontier army, and there are more than a dozen people behind him who are all crossbowmen. Fortunately, we were not exposed, otherwise we would be in trouble." The Thirteenth Prince said. Zhang Long repaid Bao Qing with just an ordinary caravan. "Why are the merchants of the Song Dynasty working so hard to make money? The two countries are at war, and they still have the interest and courage to directly cross the war zone to sell goods!" Bao Qing couldn't help but think that in his own time, the two countries would In the event of a war, the overseas Chinese should be evacuated quickly and all commercial activities should be stopped. There is no need to sacrifice lives in exchange for money. Of course, the more dangerous the situation, the greater the profit from selling the goods. Just like myself, sell some luxury goods such as tea. "Have you checked the goods? They went to Yizhou to do business despite the cold and war. What exactly did they sell?" Bao Qing was a little curious. "It seems to be cloth." Zhang Long said. "Oh." "Haha, what a fool, how much money can you make by taking the cloth to Yizhou? The profit is too thin. You might as well sell some porcelain and tea!" Cao Yun laughed after hearing this. Bao Qing heard Cao Yun laughing and said:? She still felt that what Cao Yun said made sense, but she suddenly realized it and hurriedly said: "That's not right, there is something weird about this caravan! Let's get on our horses, let's go after it and see what kind of caravan it is!" "The Thirteenth Prince just thought he was out of trouble, but he never thought that the trouble he had just left would catch up with him again. Zhang Long took Bao Qing's order and realized that he had been negligent, so he chased after him and ordered his soldiers to surround the caravan. "What do you mean?" "I'm sorry, please wait a moment until our adults come to ask questions!" Zhang Long replied. "Your master?" Suddenly, more cavalry appeared behind the soldier. A young man dressed as a merchant rode forward and laughed loudly: "Their master is me, Bao Qing! Is your prince okay?" Bao Qing I recognized the Thirteenth Prince at a glance, and I was overjoyed. As the saying goes, you can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, so it took no effort to get him. This tea-for-grain trade was really worth it, and there was an unexpected gain. "Is it you? Master Bao, the imperial envoy?" The Thirteenth Prince was really shocked. His bodyguard Hu Fei and other bodyguards showed their weapons and protected the Thirteenth Prince. "Protect the prince and prepare to rush out!" Hu Fei shouted. "Don't move, you don't want to live? I'm a hundred or so crossbowmen. If you dare to move, I will shoot you into a hornet's nest immediately." Bao Qing said. "We all put down our weapons. I admit defeat. But I really didn't expect that Mr. Bao would be so capable and chase him all the way out of the border. Since the imperial envoy has received the emperor's order, I don't want to embarrass you." , You can do whatever you want! I just hope that Master Bao can spare my followers. They have worked hard to follow me for many years, but I have nothing left for them!" The Thirteenth Prince sighed! Take a breath. "Your Majesty!" the guards shouted sadly. "Your Majesty, I, Bao Qing, also want to ask you something! Can you persuade this Liao army to leave so that General Cao can be released?" "Well, I'm afraid I don't have the ability." "In that case, That's offending! Zhang Long, take them all away," Bao Qing said coldly.
