The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Most of these Persian prisoners were around 30 years old, strong and powerful, with a fierce aura, and were obviously veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Ning Quan took a breath when he saw this. He didn't expect there were so many prisoners of war.

"What's the price of these prisoners of war?"

Ning Quan asked hurriedly.

"These Persian prisoners number a total of 1,360, and are sold for 100 taels each."

"If you want to take everything away, I'll give you a discount. The total is 130,000 taels, and I'll give you 20 good horses as a gift."

The dentist said quickly.

This batch of prisoners of war has been in his hands for more than half a year, and he has not sold many of them.

It costs a lot to keep them up all day long.

How could he let go of Ning Quan, a big customer?

"The price is a bit high."

Ning Quan therefore made it difficult.

"Sir, these prisoners of war are rare elites and can be used directly as soldiers."

The dentist quickly explained.

"No, the price is still too high, not worth it."

Ning Quan shook his head and refused.

"Sir, please think about it again."

"How about this? I'll give you a discount. It only costs 120,000 taels, and you can take it all."

The dentist gritted his teeth.

"Well, since you're so sincere, I'll take them all."

Ning Quan finally gave in.

"Thank you, sir."

The dentist was overjoyed.

"Sir, do you also need a small one to transport these prisoners of war?"

Then the dentist asked for instructions.

"Are they still obedient?" Ning Quan asked.

"Sir, it's impossible to be completely obedient."

"But don't worry, sir. They promise not to run away."

"Look, sir. They all have marks on their foreheads."

"Sir, you may not know this, but we ivory traders have a rule: whoever captures a runaway slave can come to us to claim the reward."

"So even if you run away, you will be caught."

"Besides, they are all Persian prisoners of war. Our Daqian is far away from Persia. Where can they run to?"

The dentist quickly explained.

"Well, in that case, there's no need to ship it."

"Take good care of them these few days, and send them to me outside East City in three days, and then hand them over to me."

Ning Quan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Ok, no problem."

The dentist said quickly.

"Ah."

Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.

"Your Highness, is it safe to travel with these prisoners?"

After leaving the dungeon, Zhang Liao said worriedly.

"It's okay. There are only a thousand or so prisoners. They won't cause any trouble."

Ning Quan said calmly.

Ning Quan now has 1,100 soldiers under his command, and Sikong Ruo also has nearly 1,000 people.

If you can't even deal with a mere thousand prisoners of war, how can you talk about conquering the world?

"Your Majesty, that's what you said, but I think we should still be cautious."

Zhang Liao reminded.

"Yes, I understand. I won't be careless."

Ning Quan patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Half an hour later, Ning Quan and others returned to the inn.

In the next few days, Ning Quan basically stayed at home.

Stay in the inn all day to recuperate, and set off again three days later.

When the convoy arrived outside the city, the ivory dealer had been waiting for a long time.

"Sir, I have brought you all 1,360 prisoners of war."

The tooth merchant pointed at the Persian prisoners behind him and said respectfully.

"Well, have you fed them enough these days?"

Ning Quan glanced at the prisoners and asked.

"Sir, everyone is definitely full."

"How dare I disobey the Master's orders?"

The dentist patted his chest and promised.

"Sir, these twenty fine horses are also ready for you."

The ivory dealer pointed to twenty horses not far away and said respectfully.

"Ah, very good."

"Military Advisor, pay her the money."

Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Liu Bowen nodded in agreement and handed the silver note he had prepared long ago to the dealer.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

"A small farewell."

After the dentist received the banknote, he immediately smiled and left happily.

"General Zhang, I give you three hundred soldiers to guard these prisoners of war."

After the ivory merchant left, Ning Quan gave instructions to Zhang Liao.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and then selected three hundred soldiers to escort the prisoners of war.

"Lü Bu, the warhorses are all yours."

Afterwards, Ning Quan gave Lu Bu some more instructions.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Bu clasped his fists.

"Well, let's get going."

Ning Quan smiled and nodded.

Then, the convoy started slowly and headed towards the official road ahead.

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at the agreed meeting place.

When we arrived here, Sikong Ruo and the convoy were already waiting there.

"Your Highness, where did you get so many prisoners of war?"

Sikong Ruo was shocked to see Ning Quan bringing so many prisoners of war.

"I bought these in Ya Market and plan to take them to Beiting to use."

Ning Quan explained with a smile.

"Oh I got it."

"Beiting court is in crisis, this is a solution."

"However, Your Highness should still be careful to avoid backlash."

Sikong Ruo suddenly realized and reminded him.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Ning Quan said softly.

"Ah That's good."

"Your Highness, the convoy and personnel are here. Sikong Ruo wishes Your Highness a safe journey."

Sikong Ruo nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Ning Quan.

Of course, Sikong Ruo couldn't follow Ning Quan to Beiting. She went to Wuwei because of branch affairs.

Being able to lend all his soldiers to Ning Quan has already been the most kind thing he can do.

"Haha, thank you Miss Sikong for your kind words. I also wish Miss Sikong all the best."

Ning Quan smiled and bowed in return.

"Well, thank you, Your Highness."

"Sister Wanyue, I don't know when we'll meet again after we part today."

Sikong Ruo turned around and spoke softly to Li Wanyue.

Although she and Li Wanyue had only been together for more than a month, they got along very well and felt that they had met too late.

"Don't worry, sister. We will have a chance to get together in the future."

Li Wanyue said softly.

"Ok!"

Sikong Ruo smiled sweetly when he heard this.

"Sister Wanyue, I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself."

"Maybe I'll come to Beiting to visit you someday. Please take me in when I do."

Sikong Ruo giggled and then jumped onto the horse.

"Okay, welcome to Beiting."

Li Wanyue smiled.

"drive!"

Sikong Ruo gave a light shout, then whipped his horse and rode away.

Watching Sikong Ruo gradually walk away, Li Wanyue's eyes turned red.

She knew very well that it would be difficult for her and Sikong Ruo to see each other again.

"Husband, let's get going."

After calming down, Li Wanyue said to Ning Quan.

"Well, I'll help you get in the car."

Ning Quan helped Li Wanyue into the car with a smile.

The convoy moved forward slowly and headed northwest.
