Lu Zheng and Peng Ze didn't speak first, and since the general didn't speak, Bai Er and the others standing next to them were even less likely to speak.
A man with curly blond hair dismounted from the lead camel. He stood in front of Lu Zheng and Peng Ze, looked them up and down, and asked uncertainly, "A Lange?"
When Lu Zheng and his group encountered the caravan a couple of days ago, they traded gold for their clothes here, but their appearance was still different from that of the caravan.
Lu Zheng and Peng Ze exchanged a glance, then pretended not to understand the yellow-haired man's broken Zhou dialect.
"Are you from Langge?" At this moment, the girl in white with blue eyes came over on a camel. Her Da Zhou dialect was more authentic.
However, the way she looked down from her camel position made Lu Zheng and Peng Ze very unhappy.
They were all in high positions, and apart from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, they had probably never been treated like this before.
I may be annoyed, but I can't show it, since this isn't Da Zhou's territory.
Moreover, they only speak the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and for now they can only pretend to be people from the Lang Kingdom. They can't all pretend to be mute!
The two nodded, and Lu Zheng spoke first: "May I ask who your group is?"
The girl in white with blue eyes didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "What are you planning to do all this way west?"
Her tone was cold and arrogant.
If it weren't for her subordinates saying that Lange Country's standards were not standard, she wouldn't have bothered with these people at all.
Lu Zheng said, "I want to come here to do some business. Before the New Year, the King issued an order that no one is allowed to go east. We are all businessmen, so we can only go west. I plan to risk going west, bring some things that Langge Kingdom doesn't have to sell, and make some money to make a living."
Lu Zheng and his companions only had daily necessities on their camels. If they said they were going to the west to sell things, they would definitely be exposed. So they could only say that they were going to the west to buy things to sell back home.
The girl in white with blue eyes remained silent for a while, probably digesting Lu Zheng's words. Then she asked the blond-haired guy to take the oil lamp and check Lu Zheng and his camels.
Lu Zheng and Peng Ze exchanged a glance; these people were really quite domineering!
They were plotting how to rob the group, but they only had seven people while the other side had over forty. Without knowing the details of the other side's strength, their chances of winning were slim.
So they abandoned the idea.
After the blond curly-haired man examined Lu Zheng and his companion's camels, the white-clad, blue-eyed girl temporarily believed their story.
"I'll take you to the Cloud Sea Tribe. There you'll find what you're looking for. Do you have enough gold coins on you?" the white-clad, blue-eyed girl asked.
"Yes, but we didn't have time to forge gold coins; they're all gold ingots." Peng Ze nodded quickly.
Fortunately, Langge Kingdom did not follow the West in using gold coins, but instead used gold ingots like the Great Zhou Dynasty, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to come up with gold coins for a while.
I used hand gestures to buy clothes from the merchants I had met earlier, which also made them aware that although gold coins were mostly used in the west, gold ingots were also acceptable.
When Lu Zheng set off, he brought two boxes of gold with him in the car.
"Let me see, and I'll exchange you for gold coins," said the girl in white with blue eyes.
Lu Zheng nodded to Bai Er, who then took out a ten-tael gold ingot from his person.
The blond curly-haired man presented the fruit with both hands, respectfully handing it to the white-clad, blue-eyed girl.
