Chapter 188 Chen Feng Buys a Horse
Yue Fuli was shocked when he heard this. She looked at Lou Chenfeng and asked, "You want them all? Are you sure?"
"Yes. However, I don't have much money. Can you give me a discount?" Lou Chenfeng asked with a smile. He really didn't have much money, so he had to spend it frugally.
"Are you kidding me?" Yue Fuli looked at Lou Chenfeng in disbelief. He wanted to buy a horse, but he said he had no money. This really made people at a loss for words.
If these horses belonged to her alone, it would be fine to give them to Lou Chenfeng, as a way to repay his kindness in protecting her along the way.
But these horses were taken by the brothers of Anlou and the officers who risked their lives to kill the bandits, so she had to charge them some money as a reward for their hard work.
"Everything I said is true. Look, this is all the money I have left." Lou Chenfeng was afraid that Yue Fuli would not believe him, so he took out the silver bills from his pocket while speaking.
The banknotes looked quite thick, with denominations of one hundred, two hundred, and fifty. Yue Fuli estimated that there should be more than ten thousand taels.
If it was a good horse, the price would naturally be high, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of taels. However, these bandits didn't have very good horses, only average ones, ranging from a few dozen to two hundred taels each.
Yue Fuli calculated that there were a total of 105 horses. If calculated at 100 taels, it would cost 10,500 taels.
But they couldn't sell all of the horses; they had to keep a few for later use. Yue Fuli decided to round up the number and give Lou Chenfeng a hundred horses.
Thinking of Lou Chenfeng's protective feelings, Yue Fuli decided to give him a discount and said, "One hundred horses, eight thousand taels for you. What do you think?"
"Eight thousand taels?" Lou Chenfeng suspected he had misheard. He had a rough idea of the current price of horses and had assumed that buying all of them would cost at least fifteen thousand taels.
But he didn't expect that Yue Fuli would only accept half of it.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yue Fuli seriously and said worriedly, "Will they have any objections if you sell it so cheaply?"
"That's my business, you just say yes or no?"
"Yes, of course." Although Lou Chenfeng felt that Yue Fuli was at a disadvantage, he was determined to miss this opportunity. He really needed these horses, otherwise he wouldn't have negotiated with Yue Fuli to give her a lower price.
"Okay, let's go over now. After you've seen the horses, we'll hand over the money and the horses."
"no problem."
The two found a place where Xiaowu and his companions rested. After Yue Fuli and Lou Chenfeng had a look at all the 100 horses, she said to Xiaowu and the people from the Dark Tower, "This Mr. Lou wants to buy our horses, and I've already sold them to him. I gave him a discount, selling the 100 horses for 8,000 taels. Now, pick five for us, and give the rest to Mr. Lou."
"Okay!" Xiao Wu went to pick out the horses without saying anything. He had been a little worried before, wondering how he would be able to sell all the horses. Now, someone had made a big purchase and bought them all. It was a little cheaper, but it saved them a lot of trouble.
Besides, these horses were free of charge, so they had earned eight thousand taels for free. What else could be said about such a good thing?
The two sides made the handover, and Yue Fuli took the banknotes and left with his men. As for how to get rid of these horses, that was Lou Chenfeng's own business.
Although Lou Chenfeng was often alone, he was not without subordinates. On the contrary, he had many more subordinates than Yue Fuli.
