They wandered around for a long time before Lu Li finally took a fancy to a horse.

This horse is majestic and powerful, with pure red coat, strong limbs, a long neck, and flowing mane. You can tell at a glance that it is expensive.

This horse costs 100,000 coins!

Lu Li was immediately taken aback; horses in the Liaodong region were indeed much cheaper than those in the Central Plains.

He had learned about horses in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, where a single horse could fetch up to two million coins, and even an ordinary horse could cost two hundred thousand coins.

The horse that Lu Li saw was already of medium quality, yet it only cost 100,000 coins. Liaodong truly deserves its reputation for producing excellent horses.

The profits for horse traders in the Central Plains were indeed enormous.

"One horse costs 100,000 coins, why don't you just rob someone?" Xu Ermao glared angrily at the horse trader upon hearing the price.

“Oh ho, you’ve wronged me. This horse of mine is a fine steed,” the horse trader immediately retorted.

"A fine steed?" Upon hearing this, Xu Ermao's expression turned even more grim.

Lu Li watched quietly from the side.

Upon seeing this, the horse trader immediately smiled and said, "I can guarantee that this horse is absolutely a fine steed!"

Xu Ermao frowned and said, "Do you think I don't know anything about horses? A horse of this quality is worth at most 50,000 coins!"

The horse trader remained unmoved. He shook his head and sighed, "Alas, this horse, if it were in the Central Plains, would be worth two hundred thousand coins!"

"Nonsense!" Xu Ermao shouted.

"I'm not lying to you. With years of war in the Central Plains, horses are in short supply!"

"Especially the Han Dynasty court, I heard that Dong Zhuo is going to expand his army, so he ordered 5,000 horses from Liaodong! That's the current market price, I think 100,000 is not enough, and in a few days the price will be different."
