My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Quan Shao wants to take Mu Zheng away?

Gong Wen and the Hu family father and daughter became anxious when they heard this.

"Ms. Qi, it's not like that." Hu Shuer wanted to explain.

"Shut up!" The black official scolded her.

Hu Shu'er paused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "It's Li Ju. He, he wants to..."

"I understand!" This time it was Qi Yuxiu who interrupted her.

Mu Zheng raised an eyebrow, gaining a new understanding of the two women. Reputation was so important to a woman, yet to save him, Hu Shuer was willing to reveal her own humiliation, and Qi Yuxiu wasn't as cold as she appeared; her interruption was precisely to protect the girl's reputation.

Qi Yuxiu glanced at Mu Zheng, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

And Mu Zheng was also looking at her.

Although this trip to Xiangdao was to search for horses, the cooperation partner was also important for long-term business development. He wanted to see how Qi Yuxiu would handle this matter.

Mu Zheng's expression was so calm. His expression, as steady as a rock and composed, surprised Qi Yuxiu.

She had a feeling that this man was not afraid of the cavalry in front of him.

"Hasn't the right and wrong and cause and effect of today's incident been made clear? It's all a misunderstanding. What? Lord Quan thinks there is something wrong?" Qi Yuxiu finally decided to do Mu Zheng a favor.

Quan Shao's mouth twisted, "Miss Qi, are you not going to hand over the person?"

"Pay it? Of course." Qi Yuxiu smiled faintly: "But before I pay it, I have to know the whole story."

Uh……

In one sentence, it was like strangling Quan Shao's neck.

Because I just said that everything was a misunderstanding. If I were to investigate the cause of the dispute now, not only would I be embarrassed, but the key point is that I wouldn't be able to explain the reason.

"Hehe!" Quan Shao grinned. "That's right. Since we've already made it clear what's right and what's wrong, I shouldn't continue to hold you accountable." After saying that, Quan Shao looked at Mu Zheng. Although he was smiling on the surface, his eyes were filled with gloom. "Boy, you're welcome to visit the Yun Clan in the future. We have plenty of horses over there."

Mu Zheng chuckled inwardly. Was this a threat? He had no intention of going to the Yun Clan. Even if he did, he could do it without hesitation.

After the Yun people retreated, the Black official stepped forward and saluted Qi Yuxiu, but he looked very uneasy.

Qi Yuxiu glanced at him calmly and said, "The Yun Clan is attacking, and you're afraid to fight. Fear of provoking trouble is your excuse, but your disregard for the safety of the people and the dignity of the tribe is the reality. Stand down, someone will come and confront you."

The official broke out in a cold sweat and retreated respectfully.

Afterwards, Qi Yuxiu apologized to the people along the border and said he would send someone to take charge of border security: "Everyone, rest assured, from the day you joined my Black Tribe, you are all members of my tribe."

After a round of cheers, Qi Yuxiu turned her attention to Mu Zheng.

"You! Come with me!"

Qi Yuxiu was looking at Mu Zheng, and Mu Zheng was also looking at her.

Qi Yuxiu is very beautiful, especially the temperament she exudes makes Mu Zheng feel familiar.

Just like a modern female special forces soldier, heroic and brave.

"Name, where are you from, where are you going, and what is your purpose?"

Well, as soon as Qi Yuxiu started talking, Mu Zheng felt more familiar with it, except that this kind of conversation style was usually where he was the one asking questions.

"Mu Zheng, Langya, buy a horse."

"Do you know that little girl?"

"First time meeting!"

"Then why did you take action?"

"what?"

"Are you aware that taking action is likely to cause a tribal dispute?"

"Are you blaming me for being nosy?"

"I'm trying to see what your intentions are!"

Depend on!

Mu Zheng almost went berserk.

This woman, really...

"Although I'm not from Elephant Island, I am a Han Chinese, a citizen of the New Dynasty. Even if this happened somewhere else, I would still take action."

Mu Zheng spoke sincerely, and Qi Yuxiu stared into his eyes for a long time: "It's better this way!"

After saying that, Qi Yuxiu turned and left.

"and many more!"

Mu Zheng called her, Qi Yuxiu turned her head, with a hint of impatience between her brows.

"Is something wrong?"

"I just want to ask Miss Qi where the Black Tribe can find good horses, and how much they cost?"

"When doing business, it's natural to compare prices and shop around. Good luck."

Uh……

When Mu Zheng saw Qi Yuxiu's back as she left, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

This woman is interesting!

It gave him a sense of modernity.

After returning to the noodle stall, Gong Wen first praised Mu Zheng, and then couldn't wait to introduce the young man in the shop.

"Brother, this is Jiang Xiaobai. He's been on Elephant Island for over ten years and calls himself a walking map of the island. With him leading the way, we'll definitely have no worries."

Jiang Xiaobai?

"Hey, Brother Mu. Nice to meet you." Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward and clasped his fists. "I didn't realize you were so skilled just now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Are you familiar with the grooms on this island?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Of course!" Jiang Xiaobai patted his chest. "Even though my noodle stall doesn't make much money a day, it's still one of the best on the island. Not only the Black Clan, but even the Cloud Clan have regular customers."

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's boast, and thinking about how he had just hidden the money, he smiled and said, "You really have a lot of face."

"Of course. My ancestor was the monarch of Qi State, and they all give me this face." Jiang Xiaobai's face was full of pride.

Mu Zheng listened to Jiang Xiaobai's increasingly vague words and couldn't help but ask, "Are your ancestors from the royal family of Qi? Then do you know what Duke Huan of Qi was called?"

"What's it called?"

"Also called Jiang Xiaobai."

Uh……

The shop boy's expression froze, then he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I've offended my ancestors."

When Gong Wen heard this, he knew that Jiang Xiaobai was the kind of person who boasted without thinking, and his face suddenly turned sour. "Well, you are such a boaster, did you lie to me just now?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai quickly waved his hands: "Look at what you're saying. I'm a free guide, why are you bragging about that?"

Oh?

Mu Zheng glanced sideways.

How could someone who charges him for information be a guide for free?

Hearing Mu Zheng's question, Jiang Xiaobai said seriously, "Brother, I see that this is not easy for you guys, so I thought that if your business is successful in the future, you can give me half of the profit every time. Half a percent is not too much, right?"

Gong Wen nodded, "Not much indeed."

Mu Zheng was almost pissed off and laughed. Half a percent might not sound like much now, but as the business grows, that half a percent will be a lot.

Half of 100 yuan is 5 yuan.

What about 100 million yuan?

And they also take a cut every time. It seems that this kid will do nothing in the future and just sit at home picking his feet waiting for money.

"No!" Mu Zheng refused decisively, but at the same time he pretended to be sincere and affectionate: "Little brother. You are so honest, I can't treat you unfairly. I must give you money, but you just said that you think it's not easy for us. Well, I accept your favor, how much do you think is appropriate to give?"

Jiang Xiaobai's mouth twitched, "Hehe, Brother Mu is really polite."

Gong Wen and the other two looked at each other, not quite understanding why Mu Zheng did this. He didn't have much money to begin with, so he tried to save as much as possible. Besides, no one knew if this business would ever be successful, so Jiang Xiaobai was willing to help for free, which was great!

"If there is no commission, then give me 3000 yuan?" Jiang Xiaobai said.

"What?" Gong Wen was the first to jump up. He had thought this young man was honest just now, but now he spoke like a monkey with such a big mouth.

3000 coins can buy a stone of rice.

Mu Zheng frowned. This guy really dared to speak.

According to the "Atlas of Ancient Chinese Weights and Measures", one liang in the Han Dynasty was 15.6 grams, one jin was 249.6 grams, and one shi was 59.9 jin. Therefore, one shi in the Han Dynasty was approximately jin in modern times.

60 kilograms of food is enough for an average family to eat for one or two months.

"How about 1000 coins?" Mu Zheng directly cut off two-thirds.

"Haha!" Jiang Xiaobai sneered twice: "Go away, don't delay my business."

Just then, a girl stood in front of everyone. The breeze blew her hair, making her look very beautiful.

"Mu, benefactor..."

It was Hu Shuer.
