Soon, those people came in front of Batu and the other person.
The leader was a thin man in his thirties.
He looked at Batu and the other man and said in a cold tone:
"You are the Hu merchants from the Western Regions, right?"
Batu and the others were not sure about 뀘's purpose, so they were on guard and said honestly, "Yes, our caravan is indeed from the Western Regions."
"What's the matter with you all, why are you waiting for us?"
Hearing this, the thin man pulled the corner of his mouth and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's you guys!"
"We have received news that your caravan brought a lot of precious Western medicinal herbs to Yanjing City this time."
"Our master is very interested in these herbs. The price is no problem. We will definitely not let you suffer any loss."
Hearing this, Batu and the other man breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that they were here to buy medicine. They had previously thought that these people had bad intentions and were planning to rob them.
"Who is your master?"
Batu asked.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't know."
"We just need to trade. You won't refuse to sell, right?"
The thin man suddenly raised his head and looked at Batu with cold eyes.
At the same time, a faint murderous intent spread from his body, enveloping Batu and the other person.
"Hmm? Half-step Grandmaster?"
Batu and the other two were greatly frightened.
Although they knew that these people were very powerful, they never expected that the leader was actually a half-step grandmaster.
Such a strong man, alone, is enough to bury their entire caravan.
"He is so strong, yet he is just someone else's subordinate. How terrifying must his master be?"
With this thought, Batu completely put away all his little thoughts.
"What are you talking about? As long as the price is right, there is no business that I won't do."
"I wonder what medicinal herbs your master needs?"
Batu asked.
"We want all the black jade flowers."
"As for the other herbs, you can sell us one-third of the total amount. You can calculate how much it will cost in total."
The thin man said bluntly.
"You want all the black jade flowers?"
Batu looked embarrassed.
The black jade flower is extremely rare, and he originally wanted to ask an auction house to sell several other medicinal herbs, including this one.
In this way, he can maximize his benefits.
If he sells it like this, he will definitely earn a lot less.
Of course, what shocked him most was the intelligence capabilities of these people.
Knowing the value of this batch of medicinal materials, Batu kept the news of the Black Jade Flower strictly secret.
Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived outside Yanjing City, he was found precisely by someone.
At this moment, he clearly understood that he could not refuse the request.
"Why? Are you in trouble?"
The thin man said indifferently.
Hearing this, Batu's face changed and he quickly said, "No objection, no objection."
"For the black jade flower and the herbs, I'll give you fifty thousand taels of silver."
Batu's offer was very good.
By selling the herbs at this price, he could only make a small profit, which was far from what he had originally expected.
But there was no other way. These people seemed difficult to deal with, so he was thinking of losing money to avoid disaster.
Hearing the price, the thin man shook his head.
Seeing this, Batu's expression suddenly changed: "Sir, this price is the biggest discount I can give you."
"If you continue to lower the price, this business will really be out of business."
Batu looked unhappy.
He has traveled all over the country for so many years and has seen all kinds of scenes.
Seeing that he had arrived at Yanjing City, if he used his power to suppress others and ignored reason, Batu would never let him off even if he died.
Batu leaned to the side, and Turdi's body shook violently.
He quickly tugged at Batu's sleeve: "Are you crazy? Don't you want to live? I'm a half-step master?"
"If we mess with him, our entire caravan will be ruined."
However, Batu stiffened his neck and showed no intention of backing down.
The thin man looked at him deeply and suddenly grinned.
"Haha, not bad! It's quite brave."
"However, we are doing a legitimate transaction. How could we force you to buy or sell something?"
"We're offering 15,000 taels of silver for these herbs. I don't think you'll suffer a loss at this price, right?"
After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Batu's hand.
"Just a little bit!"
"Look at the numbers, right?"
Such a straightforward response and an additional 15,000 taels of silver really surprised Batu.
He quickly took the banknotes from the thin man and began to count them quickly.
After a moment, he said in surprise, "15,000 taels, not a penny less, sir, are you really willing to spend so much money to buy these herbs?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, without further ado, get the herbs for us as soon as possible."
"We have other things to deal with."
"Okay, sir, I'll go get the herbs ready for you now."
Having said that, Batu stuffed the banknotes into his arms and happily went to the caravan behind to prepare medicinal materials.
........
Watching the five people carrying the herbs go away, Turdi looked at Batu with envy: "Buddy, you are really rich this time. I didn't expect that those people are so principled in doing things."
Batu grinned and said, "I can only say that my luck has turned out well. I am destined to make a fortune this time."
“I just don’t know who they belong to.”
"Forget it. You'd better not be too curious about their identities. The more you know, the faster you will die."
"My friend, we are lucky today. When we get to Yanjing City, I will definitely give you a good meal."
"Hahahaha, no big deal..."
In the residence of the Protector of the Nation General, Ye Chuyao had just woken up and was being rocked back and forth in Ye Hongtu's arms.
As for Mrs. Xiao, she was washing in front of the dressing table at this moment.
"Master, you haven't been staying at Sister Liu's place these days. Doesn't she have any complaints?"
Mrs. Xiao said this to remind Ye Hongtu not to let Liu Anxiu have any suspicion.
"Madam, you may not know that Liu has had her period recently, so she is not suitable for sex."
"Besides, my wife just gave birth to such a lovely daughter for me, which is a great achievement."
"No matter what, I should take good care of you and compensate you."
Ye Hongtu's explanation made Mrs. Xiao feel a little relieved.
Of course, she also knew that the fundamental reason why Ye Hongtu didn't want to stay overnight at Liu Anxiu's place was that he disliked her being dirty.
At this moment, "Knock, knock, knock", there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Ye Hongtu said lightly.
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open.
A figure flashed into the house.
If Batu were here, he would definitely recognize this person's identity. He is the half-step grandmaster.
He is also Ye Hongtu's most trusted assistant, the dark guard Xuanjia.
"Master, we found a group of Hu merchants outside the city and bought a lot of expensive medicinal herbs from them."
“Here’s a list of medicinal herbs!”
Ye Hongtu took the list and scanned it.
"Black Jade Continuous Flower? How much of this herb did you buy?"
Ye Hongtu asked.
"I bought them all, not a single one left." Xuanjia replied.
"Haha, well done!"
"Go down!"
"Continue to pay attention to these precious medicinal herbs in the future."
Ye Hongtu ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
After saying this, Xuan Jia slowly retreated and quickly disappeared from the room.
"Haha, yes, they are all precious life-saving herbs."
"If there is any trouble in the Ye Mansion in the future, these herbs will also be useful."
"What do you call this...preparing for a rainy day!"
Ye Hongtu's face was full of satisfaction.
Of course, he said these words to his precious daughter.
He wanted to tell his daughter that he had caught all the black jade flowers.
It was simply wishful thinking for Gu Changhe to stand up from the wheelchair.
He had investigated the information about the Black Jade Continuation Flower, which was grown in a very remote, bitter and cold place in the Western Regions.
The yield is extremely low, and it is difficult to buy one no matter how much money you spend.
Now that he has bought out all the supplies of this medicinal herb, it is not entirely impossible for Gu Changhe to find it again.
But it will definitely take a long time, and this time buffer will be enough for the Ye family to accumulate more capital.
【Daddy, what kind of luck is this?】
[Last time I patrolled the city, I encountered Lu Zhixing stealing silver from the national treasury.]
[This time, I just bought some herbs, but I ended up buying all the black jade flowers. ]
[What is going on? Could it be that because of my coming, the fortune of the Ye family has improved? ]
