Zong Xin, like the others, went directly into the camp and found a place on the edge for Youyun Eighteen to set up camp. Soon, the words 'fifty taels of silk for a horse' were inserted everywhere, and some people were too lazy to make signs, and wrote directly on the car with ink.

Everyone was anxious to wait, but after seeing Zongxin coming, they felt a lot more at ease. The Uighurs were going to be unlucky this time, because they had provoked the great devil Zongxin...... You must know that Zong Xin is a big devil who killed 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty with one move, and if he thinks of a way to deal with the Uighurs, they will have to suffer.

After Zongxin and his party had cleaned up, everyone waited expectantly for the reaction of the Uighurs. Zong Xin also took the Eighteen Horsemen of Youyun and the masters of the Thunder King's Mansion to patrol left and right. These merchants are veterans, well-prepared, and healthy, after all, it is a difficult thing to re-walk the Silk Road, and even if the merchants with a slight physical problem are tempted, they dare not act.

After walking in circles, Zong Xin suddenly asked curiously, "The surname is Zhao, do you think that we can understand the Uighurs when we write these things?"

In Zongxin's point, this is a very serious problem, what if the Uighurs can't understand it? Although some Uighurs know Chinese, they may not understand Chinese characters. Written on the car like this, maybe others can't understand it at all, and think it's some kind of decorative pattern in the Central Plains.

If the Uighurs could not read Chinese characters, it would not work to get them to submit in this way. After all, after arriving in Xizhou, there will be some problems with communication, and this situation has already happened in Illino. Not all Uighurs knew Chinese, and it was necessary to have a few Uighurs who knew Chinese with them as interpreters, otherwise many businesses would not be possible.

"What if they can read it?" Zhao Kuangyin said, "Can you find a Uighur who understands Chinese to come and write the same thing in Hui?"

Zong Xin shook his head and said, "This is a bit fake." Such a good method can't be implemented because of the language barrier...... Moreover, this kind of thing must be cut through the mess quickly, so if you find the Hugurs and write them in Hui, they will react, and this method will not apply at that time. ”

"How can the same method not be applicable?" Tianya said curiously: "Master, there is a bit of a contradiction in what you say. As long as it's a good way, why can't you use it if you change the conditions?"

Zong Xin said: "So, attacking the heart is the first, and attacking the city and attacking the brain are all low-level art of war. In fact, there are many loopholes in this method, but if such a sign is suddenly displayed, the other party will be anxious, and will not think of the next thing, and will only find a way to deal with it. Just like the current situation, if the other party can understand the Chinese characters, the city guard will of course be anxious, because this will greatly affect the price of goods in Xizhou, and then they will negotiate with us, and after a little talk, the matter will be resolved. But if the Uighurs were asked to write the same words in Hui at this time, it would give the defender some time to think about the problem, and he would not be as anxious as if he had seen it directly. In fact, there were many ways for the other side to deal with it, such as not selling food and water to the Central Plains merchants, or they also selling food and water at a higher price, and within a few days, all the silver of the Central Plains merchants would go into the bags of the Uighurs. ”

Zongxin's explanation made everyone understand. In fact, this method is not as good as expected, but if such a move is suddenly made, the other party will not be able to react, and they will be afraid that the local price will be disturbed, so they will immediately take countermeasures. In fact, when they calm down, this solution can be easily cracked.

When the plan failed, Zong Xin had another plan, and then said: "Tell everyone to prepare to pull out the camp, isn't there a small town nearby? The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, no matter how high the martial arts are, it can't fight when you see someone, and in other people's territory, it's best not to be too arrogant. We left like this, these merchants were anxious, and the people in Xizhou were also anxious. There are countless people in this world who want to make money, and it is natural that some people will run to the town to buy silk and porcelain, and there is no need to go to the city at all. ”

"Master, if these people originally wanted to buy silk and porcelain here, why didn't they just go to the city to trade?"

Zong Xin chuckled and said: "Of course, I am afraid that the city guards will see it, and these people should not be allowed to trade directly outside the city, so as long as they change places, the merchants in the Western Zhou City will naturally come to trade secretly." Buying silk or selling jade. So as long as we have the intention of turning around, the guards of Xizhou City will definitely die in a hurry. There's no way around it...... If it was in the Central Plains, Lao Tzu would rush in and beat him severely, and then take these merchants into the city. ”

Tianya said helplessly: "Alas~ Let's go here less in the future, it's good to mix in the Central Plains, why do you want to go to the Western Regions, I always feel uncomfortable." ”

"I can't help it...... Let's get going. Zong Xin asked Tianya to convey his meaning, and the Eighteen Riders of Youyun also had an order to immediately convey Zong Xin's words to every merchant. After getting this information, the merchants also felt that it made sense, and immediately pulled out the camp and prepared to leave the outside of Xizhou City.

Zong Xin turned his head and stared at Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

"Are you sure you understand?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Sneak in and track who the city guards report to, the person who reports is the key." ”

"Recently, your IQ has been increasing...... Zongxin admired, "but you guessed wrong, I asked you to put on Uighur clothes and carry a silk horse around the streets of Xizhou City." Cover your face so that no one knows who you are, just let the Uighurs see the fine silk. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "So that's what it means, or are you worse than me." ”

"Go ahead. ”

This move really frightened the people in Xizhou City, including the city guards. If the merchants of the Central Plains leave, then the silk and porcelain they expected will be gone, and the precious spices and tea in the Central Plains will be gone...... It was not easy to see such a large caravan coming to Xizhou, but the business was never completed, and now they don't want to give money and are ready to leave directly...... That's not going to work.

Zongxin didn't care about them, but if they really couldn't do it, they would just leave the territory of the Uighurs, and as long as these things left the Central Plains, they would be sold at a sky-high price, so where to sell them was not to sell? Why did they have to sell them to the people in Xizhou City?

The main reason why these merchants want to go to Xizhou is the jade in Xizhou, and if they buy jade here and sell it back to the Central Plains, it is also sky-high. Why not make two sky-high prices? Moreover, Xizhou is not too far, and it will take a few months at most to return to the Central Plains from here, and it will be almost the same as walking here. So most merchants only use Xizhou as their destination.

The hardships of the past few months can be regarded as fed, ordinary merchants do not enjoy life as much as Zongxin's group, and they almost empty their bodies all the way here, and this hot weather alone can make the people of the Central Plains shy away from this. They are not people who practice martial arts, and if they don't eat well or sleep well, their physical strength has already been exhausted, and these people will never be able to move forward.

Some of the caravans were originally Uighurs, and they only had to pay ordinary taxes to enter the city of Xizhou and sell their silk and porcelain in their hands. Of the entire caravan, there were only two people who wanted to continue westward with Zongxin, one was the priest and the other was the priest's bodyguard.

As soon as he was ready to set up camp, the priest's bodyguard found Zongxin. But this Westerner could only stare at Zongxin with big eyes, and he didn't know what to say at all.

“hat？”

“IT’。 YouCanSpeakEngilsh。 ”

“do。 ”

“d...。 ”

Zong Xin nodded and said, ". See。 ”

"Master, what are you talking about?"

"The priest was sick and he couldn't do anything, so he asked me for help. Zong Xin said: "It's not easy...... This Westerner traveled all the way to China to preach, and he was simply fed. ”

The group followed the Westerners all the way to their carriage, and in the shadow of the carriage lay a very ordinary blanket, on which the priest lay with a pale face, and seemed to be very ill indeed, and felt that he might go to see his God at any time.

At this time, the priest was no longer very conscious, and he didn't even know that a large group of people like Zongxin were coming. Zongxin felt that this priest was also quite pitiful, he was not young, it is estimated that he took some people to the Central Plains to do business and preach by the way when he was very young, and he wanted to return to his homeland when he was old...... In fact, even if he returns to his hometown, not many people know him anymore.

The power of Western religion far exceeded that of the emperor. The steadfastness of the faith of these Western missionaries is by no means understandable to ordinary people. The priest devoted almost his entire life to his Church, which did not know how much he benefited from him, but in the end he became a priest in a convent and retired there.

However, the church still has a bit of a conscience and sends a bodyguard. This bodyguard is also very conscientious, and it seems that he has suffered a lot, but he still tries his best to keep the bodyguard priest.

Zongxin slowly crouched beside the priest and stretched out his hand to take his pulse. The originally calm face became more and more ugly, although the bodyguard did not understand Chinese, he was not a fool, and it could be seen from Zong Xin's expression that this disease was indeed very serious, maybe even he had no choice.

"Alas~ My medical skills are not good, you should come, the demon. ”

A group of people looked at Zong Xin very depressed, thinking that this priest was going to die, but it turned out that Zong Xin didn't understand medical skills and was stubborn, but the situation was too embarrassing so his face was ugly.

After the demon took the pulse, he immediately said: "Small problem, malnutrition along the way, this old man's body is too weak to withstand such a long journey." It's not that he's sick, it's just that he's too tired and can't keep up with his nutrition. Instill a little bit of true qi in him, let him eat a few more good meals, and he will recover in a few days. ”

"Oh~~ Tianya, you come. Zong Xin said: "You need to exercise well, the more output, the more you get." ”

Tianya knew that he had to do most of the things himself on this trip, but he was used to it, and now was the time when his skills grew the fastest, and he deserved to die.
