It might be because Little Dot and Little Stone have similar backgrounds.
She and the little one are very close; they walk hand in hand.
Hu Ting's heart melted, and she followed closely behind.
They washed the soldiers' vehicles on the grass, and Qin Che put them directly into his spatial storage, planning to buy some mounts in Zeolite City.
There are no more camels in the North Plain, but there are still pack horses, which are quite expensive. Who knows where they bought them from?
Qin Che was very greedy; his purse was bulging. He bought three horses to carry his luggage and planned to sell the carriage.
"At least put on an act; this is, after all, a vehicle belonging to the military," Li Xin reminded him from the side.
"No one will come to ask. Beiyuan doesn't have a systematic army; it's all private armed forces. Murders and looting happen here frequently. Besides, we're a merchant caravan. If they want to come and investigate, they'll have to think twice."
Li Xin thought about it carefully and realized it made sense.
A caravan of three people looks very strange no matter how you look at it.
But no one doubts their strength.
As for private armed forces, that's a separate matter.
Unless it's the manor owner causing trouble, everyone else will turn a blind eye.
Once the car is sold, the parts are removed, and the paint is melted away, who can recognize it?
This was the first time the market in Zeolite City had encountered such a customer—selling nothing but cars.
The auto repair shop took it.
The currency used in Beiyuan is the general-purpose banknotes issued by Leopard Court, which have the portrait of Safanyin printed on them, and there are also large denomination banknotes with the portrait of Qin Che printed on them.
But who would recognize him?
“I told you, these people who print money can’t even get a decent portrait.” Li Xin took the money and looked at it. “It doesn’t look like you at all.”
He burst out laughing after saying that.
Qin Che glanced at him and said calmly, "I did it on purpose."
"why is that?"
Qin Che simply said, "That's so that I won't be recognized right now."
Li Xin was speechless.
Hu Ting overheard their conversation the whole way, and she was quite surprised.
Although she couldn't understand most of it, she still understood things about money.
Is that the master's portrait printed on this banknote?
Aren't they businessmen?
In Hu Ting's mind, she didn't know who was printed on the banknotes, nor did she know where Bao Ting was, but the only thing she knew was that the person on the banknotes must be a big shot.
Little Stone asked her, "Do you all use this kind of banknote here?"
Hu Ting nodded and said, "The landlords are using it, and so are people in these markets. We don't recognize it."
Little Stone asked again, "Then what do you use?"
At this moment, Alu said in a muffled voice, "We can't even touch the money."
Little Stone fell silent.
"It's good enough if we can get food to eat normally," Hu Ting said ingratiatingly.
She, along with six others including Gong Xi Fu Lu Shou Cai, had a meat soup a few days ago, and they still can't forget it.
Not to mention such large denomination bills.
Qin Che and Li Xin exchanged glances after hearing their conversation.
These banknotes were jointly printed by Leopard Court and South China Sea, and were based on rare metals and hard currency, making them highly liquid.
After the establishment of Polaris City, a large influx of markets and transactions boosted the issuance of new banknotes.
Within a few years, even Kitahara was using it.
Because of its high quality and exquisite workmanship, the banknotes are recognized as valuable in many settlements in the Northern Plains.
Except for a small number of mountain ethnic groups and tribes, it is used in all districts and cities.
They were especially popular with landlords.
“Three horses aren’t enough, are they? Let’s buy three more,” Li Xin suggested. “Since we’re going to disguise ourselves, let’s make it look like we’re not. These three horses can carry the luggage, and we can ride the other three.”
Little Stone laughed from the side, "We could also buy a cart for the little one to sleep on."
Hu Ting waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no..."
The little one stood to the side, picking his nose and holding his mother's hand, looking rather dazed.
Qin Che also thought the little one was very cute, so he nodded and said, "Then let's look around some more."
Suddenly, a large group of soldiers poured into the market, standing ready and surrounding everyone.
"Halt! Who are you?"
Li Xin frowned and scolded, "What? Are you going to rob me on the highway?"
From the crowd, a soldier stepped forward and said, "These slaves escaped from Master Wu's household, and the carts you just sold also belong to Master Wu's household. Now, please come with us."
Li Xin sneered, "Get out of here!"
"Hmph, don't think we haven't found out. You killed our people, dumped the bodies in the wilderness, and even dared to come into the city to sell cars. You've got some nerve," the soldier threatened coldly.
The place where Qin Che committed the murder was not far away to begin with.
It's even just a few kilometers away from the 'Master Wu' manor.
It can be found out with a simple investigation.
Li Xin directly pulled out the Leopard Court's business card.
This type of trade badge is of a relatively high level, but it's not unique. Among the ten people who come to Zeolite City to run businesses, five or six of them hold this badge.
Landlords have seen it all before.
But it still has an effect.
The soldier's attitude became noticeably more polite: "Please don't misunderstand, these slaves have committed crimes and they must be punished. Besides, they are Master Wu's slaves."
Li Xin said, "We don't know any of these people. These slaves are what we picked up, so we'll treat them as our private property."
Qin Che said from the side, "Why are you still arguing with them?"
Li Xin said, "Don't you want us to keep a low profile?"
"Aren't you being a nuisance? Just explain things clearly."
Qin Che shook his head and gestured for the soldiers to make way: "We're leaving now, we have no interest in your business, make way."
