royal robes

Chapter 694
This person is indeed a bit capable, he knows where the weakness of the Uighurs is, and he directly attacks the weakness, making it impossible for people to parry.Although Ahmad's teeth itched with anger, he was helpless.In fact, as long as the Central Plains merchants burn all the silk, it will have little impact on them, and the Uighurs have no reason to squeeze them.

After the Central Plains merchants burned the silk, didn't the Uighurs sell jade to them?That's a lose-lose situation.But if you sell jade to them, and feel that you earn too little, and there is no silk, it is meaningless for them to come to Uyghur from the Central Plains merchants, but... you have to sell it, after all, it is also an opportunity to make money.

Such a ruthless move, so ruthless that Ahmad had nothing to do with him.Let alone the tax reduction to two taels of silver now, even if Xizhou is asked to give Central Plains merchants money to enter the city, they must agree.Because the benefits that these silks can bring to them are too great, far exceeding these so-called taxes.

Zong Xin said: "Now that we have reached an agreement, it will be easy to handle. I will bring the Central Plains merchants into the city tomorrow, so don't be fooled then."

"It's a deal, the Uighur merchants want all the silk here, so you can't sell it to others, do you know?"

Zong Xin nodded and said: "Those merchants who are going back to the Central Plains will definitely not leave a piece of silk, but I can't guarantee the merchants who continue westward. It's just...except for me, there are no merchants who continue westward."

Ahmed said: "It's acceptable, then... see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The two handed each other goodbye, Ahmad was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but he had to be threatened by this person.On their own territory, they were threatened like this by others, and they brought two thousand troops with them, but they didn't even care.This kind of thing has never happened before, I am really angry...

"I'm so pissed off, I'm so pissed off. These businessmen from the Central Plains are too treacherous and worthless." Ahmad said: "How can there be such a thing in the world? They have to give 50 taels, but now they have [-] taels." It's too much, but I only give two taels of silver... I'm so mad, I really want to kill all these shameless businessmen."

Mansur said: "Let's talk about it when we go back. I'm also very angry, but I can't turn against the Central Plains merchants on the surface, or they may really burn all the silk. This is a great loss for us, but for us. For Central Plains merchants, as long as they can get jade, other things don’t matter.”

"So we are too passive..."

The two returned to Xizhou City, and after telling Ali Musa about the incident, they also gritted their teeth angrily. Unexpectedly, this group of Central Plains people would be so ignorant of flattery. Originally, five taels of silver was not Ali Musa's goal, but they actually used this method Press the price down to two taels of silver.

"Shameless, so shameless." Alimusa said angrily: "Don't worry about this matter. Mansur, give me five hundred soldiers and we'll get it done tonight. You don't have to do anything. Just wait tomorrow." Just keep sharing the dividends. I promise you will benefit from it."

Just as Mansur was about to speak, Ahmad immediately stopped him, and then chuckled and said, "Okay, you can just lend him [-] soldiers, as for the dividends...we don't have to, anyway, just be careful yourself."

"Don't say it's a caravan, I'm not afraid even if the army does come. Why should we be careful?" Alimusa said: "The matter is settled like this. It's getting late. I'll go make preparations first."

Ali Musa bid farewell with his hands, and immediately led his men and horses, gathered all the soldiers and went straight to Hotan Town.In fact, Ali Musa had already prepared, and he knew that this time the negotiation would not be good, and no matter what the negotiation was, there must be some distance from his request.

This is the territory of the Uighurs. A group of businessmen from the Central Plains dared to be arrogant here, and a group of troops rushed to kill them, regardless of whether they resisted or not.Of course, this kind of thing cannot be heard by the people of the Central Plains. Just think that this group of people died on the road. The Silk Road is so dangerous. When these people die, no one will know. Can you still entrust your family with dreams?
Five hundred Uighur cavalry and three hundred personal guards of Ali Musa made a total of 800 people. All of them rode horses and charged directly towards Hotan Town with machetes.This time, it doesn't matter who they are, kill them all anyway, and wait for dawn to dig a hole in a random place to bury them, without anyone noticing.

Eight hundred cavalrymen ran wildly, and as they got closer and closer to Hotan Town, they suddenly heard a scream and the roar of horses.

"Ah~~"

"Ah~~"

Alimusa suddenly stopped, because these screams came from the troops behind him.No one knew what happened, but the screams kept coming, and everyone stabilized the horses and told them not to be too nervous.But it's not that easy for a frightened horse. All the horses started to get restless.

In the dark night, a dozen huge black shadows were walking around. It was impossible to see what they were, only a mass of black.These black shadows suddenly rushed into the crowd, followed by blood like blooming flowers. This was just the result of a black shadow. A dozen black shadows shuttled among the horses. A large group of people had no idea what was happening. Just disappear forever.

Countless black shadows shuttled back and forth, reaping the lives of everyone present.He didn't know where the enemy was, or even what the enemy was, so he just watched his own people fall in large numbers. The 800-man army is like a weak baby, unable to fight back.

"What's going on, what's going on? What the hell is this?"

"Stop~~~!" Suddenly a loud voice tore the night sky apart, all the horses immediately stopped roaring and irritability, and all the black shadows stopped attacking.The battlefield, which was still extremely chaotic just now, became quiet in an instant, so quiet that the heartbeats of the surrounding people could be heard.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, a young monk in cassock came slowly riding a huge white wolf.Behind him appeared eighteen equally huge wargs, but they were black and brown in color.Beside the white wolf, there is a huge black bull. This cow is a head taller than the white wolf, and it looks even more terrifying.

Zong Xin said softly: "Amitabha, I have sinned. It was just a small trial. If you dare to take a step forward, don't blame the poor monk for being jealous."

"You...what the hell are you?"

"It's just a businessman from the Central Plains, nothing else." Zong Dao said: "The poor monk knows that there will be surprise attacks. I have seen many poor monks like you, so it's not surprising. But I want to warn you, the Central Plains Businessmen are not easy to mess with, don't take our tolerance as your shameless capital."

Alimusa shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. With such a small number of people, how could it be possible to defeat the Uighur army?"

"Since he doesn't believe it, let him see it. Youyun Eighteen Cavalry listen to the order and kill me." Zong Xin gave the order, and all the black wolves disappeared without a trace like a cloud of black smoke, followed by another Countless shadows shuttled through the night.

Shocked, Ali Musa immediately shouted: "Retreat, the whole army retreats."

Unable to wait any longer, everyone immediately turned their horses and ran towards Xizhou City.At this time, it is time to flee for life. Who cares about the corpses all over the ground? No need to fight.

Ali Musa was scared out of his wits. He thought it was a simple massacre. This idea was not wrong, but the target was wrong.It is not that they slaughter others, they are slaughtered.Never thought that there are such powerful guys in the world, their mounts are so fast that the eyes can't see clearly...

Ali Musa directly led the soldiers back to his residence, didn't say anything else at all, and got into the bed and shivered.At this time, Ahmad and Mansour had been waiting on the city wall, and they knew what happened when they saw the group of people fleeing back in shock, and this was also expected by them.

Mansur asked curiously, "Why do you let these people die?"

"Actually, I don't want them to die, but I just want Ali Musa to know how powerful these Central Plains people are." Ahmad said: "Actually, I didn't expect them to be so powerful. I thought they were just repelling Ali Musa, but unexpectedly They came back so soon, and they were so scared. I guess their reaction was similar to mine, they ran away when they saw those giant wolves."

"It doesn't look like the situation... I'll find out later if I ask." Mansour said: "Is this the case for the Central Plains merchants? They only charge two taels of silver and they won't raise prices in the future?"

"It's settled... there is no way. In fact, I had planned to reduce the price a long time ago, but I didn't expect to reduce it by so much. It's all the fault of Ali Musa. If he hadn't raised the price to 50 taels of silver, there should be more merchants from the Central Plains." Come to Uighur to do business. It’s not a problem, anyway, such a large caravan has come to Uighur, and more merchants will come in the future. Our goal is not money at all, but silk and spices, isn’t it?”

"That's true." Mansour said helplessly: "But reducing it to two taels of silver is indeed a bit too much. Who is the person we are negotiating with? His appearance is not simple. This person is definitely not an ordinary businessman."

"Nonsense, you can tell by his clothes that he is a monk. How could he be a businessman? I also see that this person is not simple. Go find someone and ask him what his background is. Are there a few people following this caravan?" Are we Uyghur merchants? We let them enter the city early, you should know where these people are. You go to them and ask them, what is the origin of this group of people, and ask the soldiers who ran back just now, what happened, They were so scared."

Mansur said gloomily, "It's fine to just send someone to do this kind of thing, you want me to be a general?"

"I trust you the most, of course I will send someone there. Hurry up, I'll roast a sheep, and we'll drink together later."

"Okay, okay." Mansur immediately went to the Uyghur merchants to ask about the origins of the group of people, and by the way, asked what happened to the soldiers who had fled back, and why they were so frightened.
