Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 41

Chapter 41 General Dangkou
“Alright, alright. The first horse is called the White Crane. Its body is light and light. If it meets a ravine, it can fly straight up. It is rumored to be in danger. The second horse is called the White Snow. Its back is thick and its stomach is the most steady. It can make people feel as if they are walking on flat ground. The third horse is called the Nightshine Jade Lion. It is the most flexible and human. It can often imagine what its master thinks and how urgent its master is.” Zhu Xi was about to say something when Zhao Yun’s voice sounded from the side, “I want this Night-shining Jade Lion.”

I don’t know why, but just as Zhao Yun said this, the Night Jade Lion suddenly jumped up with its hooves, wanting to leave the stable.

He saw the horse’s head to tail, hooves to back, big hoof wrist, thin seven inches, bamboo ears, knife roach neck, dry stick bone, open his chest, and move like a dragon.

The Nightshine Jade Lion was the object Zhao Yun had ridden in history. Now that its master had appeared, it could not help but cheer.

After saying that he wanted the horse, Zhao Yun’s face turned red, because he thought that such a healthy horse must be very valuable.

Sure enough, Zhu Xi immediately replied, “This young master has good eyesight. This Nightshine Jade Lion is not an ordinary good horse, but a good item in case of a fight. There is no one in the horse market who can match it. Therefore, its price is the most expensive. It costs 80,000 taels of silver.”

“What?” Even though he was prepared in his heart, after hearing this value, Zhao Yun couldn’t help but exclaim. Although he didn’t say anything, the meaning on his face was that why didn’t you rob him?

“Yes, if it’s just a horse, its price is a little too expensive. But it is indeed a good horse. It can save lives at the critical moment.” Zhao Yun blushed as he shouted at Zhu Xi, “Yes, if it’s just a horse, its price is a little too expensive.”

If he said this, Zhu Xi was right. This Nightshine Jade Lion had saved Zhao Yun’s life a few times. In the end, he became the War God.

“Even if I can save my life, the price is too expensive.” At the side, Wang De took a step forward under Zhang Chao’s gesture and began to bargain.

With Zhang Chao’s current status, it would be a bit too much for him to do such a thing. However, Wang De’s status as the owner of the inn was extremely suitable for him to do it.

Immediately, the two sides began the negotiation process. Zhao Yun also came to stand beside Zhang Chao, not knowing what to say.

After all, he had only killed He Yi, a not-so-famous general, in the Battle of the Long Society, and had not done much. Now that he was about to buy such an expensive horse, he naturally felt ashamed.

“Hehe, Zilong, be at ease. It’s yours that won’t run away.” Zhang Chao patted Zhao Yun’s shoulder and comforted him. Then he turned to Taishi Ci and asked, “Justice, are there any of these three horses that you like?”

“Second Young Master, no.” Taishi Ci shook his head and told the truth.

These three horses were all outstanding horses, but for some reason, he just felt that they weren’t suitable for him. He didn’t seem like Zhao Yun had done battle with Zhang Chao. He owed five thousand taels of silver when he first arrived. If he wanted a healthy horse worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, it would be hard for him to open his mouth.

“Oh, there’s nothing here. It doesn’t matter. I’ll ask Zhu Xi to show you around later. In short, you must have a good horse. Otherwise, wouldn’t your kung fu be wasted?” Zhang Chao didn’t think that much. In his opinion, with Taishi Ci’s ability, he needed a batch of fast horses to assist him.

“Second Childe.” Hearing Zhang Chao’s words, Taishi Ci’s eyes immediately turned red. At this moment, he didn’t even know what to say.

Wang De still had some skills. After some bargaining, the Nightshine Jade Lion and the other three horses were bought for 150,000 taels.

Among them, the Nightshine Jade Lion was the most expensive, 70,000 taels, the White Crane 50,000 taels, and the White Snow 30,000 taels.

After negotiating the price, he agreed to go to Yue Lai Ju to collect the money. Zhang Chao then said to Zhu Xi, “Let’s see. I still have a brother who hasn’t found a suitable horse. What should we do?”

“Aren’t there three of them?” Zhu Xi asked in confusion.

“There’s another batch left for my other friend. Alright, you don’t need to know so much. Tell me about the good horses in the horse market. Of course, money isn’t a problem.” Afraid that Zhu Xi would make things difficult, Zhang Chao added this sentence.

Seeing that this young master had spent 155,000 taels of silver without blinking an eye, Zhu Xi also believed in his strength. She said, “Alright, there is a good horse over there, but the price is not cheap. Don’t think it is expensive at that time.”

“No, just lead the way.” Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled.

Half an hour later, a group of people came out from Luoyang Horse Market. Among them, Zhang Chao was the leader. At this moment, he was riding on a white crane. With a good horse as a foil, he could only feel that his vitality and spirit seemed to have increased by a lot.

In fact, the White Crane was the driver of Cao Hong in his previous life. At that time, people said, “By leaping through the void, the White Crane of the Cao Clan”. But in this life, he was destined to have no fate with Cao Hong.

Another batch of snow is left for country, coincidentally is the horse’s previous owner is also guo fengxiao, this is fate.

Following behind was Zhao Yun, who was riding on the Night Jade Lion, and Taishi Ci, who was riding on the Brown Absolute Shadow.

Jue Ying was the other healthy horse that Zhu Xi had introduced, and this was one of Cao Cao’s carriages in his first life. Later, someone had offered it to him. Now that his reputation was not obvious, he was beaten first by Zhang Chao. Naturally, the matter of offering horses was absolutely impossible.

Jue Ying was also negotiated at the price of 70,000 taels, which made Taishi Ci very touched. Like Zhao Yun, he made up his mind to repay Zhang Chao well, and in the future, he would go to the battlefield to kill his enemies and repay him for his meritorious deeds.

However, at a price of 140,000 taels, he had indeed obtained two generals. No matter how Zhang Chao looked at it, it was worth it.

Behind them were the guards, Wang De, Zhu Xi, and the others.

Just now, Zhang Chao had already told Zhu Xi to show Wang De the good horses in the future. If it was the good horses, they would all stay behind. In this way, Zhu Xi was so happy that she grinned to her ears. This time, she met a big customer, so there was no need to worry about the horse business in the future.

After returning to Yue Lai Ju, Zhang Chao was naturally pleased with himself. This day’s journey could be said to have been very rewarding. After finding his wife, not to mention an influential Yue Zhang, he also found a general. In addition, Lu Su’s situation was basically certain. Right now, all tracks of this person were followed by people from the Heavenly Eyes Organization.

Although the price was not cheap, it was nothing to a person’s life.

After doing all these things and settling Taishi Ci in his right room, Zhang Chao began to think about going to Face Saint tomorrow.

The Ten Standing Attendants were right beside the Han Spirit Emperor, influencing him and indirectly controlling state affairs. It was imaginable how powerful they were. One of the representative figures of the Ten Standing Attendants was this Zhang Rang.

Because of Zuo Feng, Zhang Rang wanted to see him personally this time. How could this not be an opportunity for him? Even though he hated this kind of eunuch who brought calamity to the country and the people in his heart, he was still thinking about it. If he didn’t have such a person, how could the big man die? Where did he get the chance to do so?

“Forget it, he’s just a bastard. Anyway, he can’t get in the way of anything. As long as he has money, he doesn’t believe that he can’t achieve his goal.” Zhang Chao fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Chao arrived at the east gate of the palace according to the time he had arranged with Zuo Feng.

At the east gate, Zuo Feng was standing there with his toes held high. Seeing Zhang Chao bringing Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci over from afar, he didn’t have the slightest intention of moving.

Zhang Chao did not mind, this was always the case with villains, and having some power was as if he was afraid that others would not know about it.

“Your Excellency, the grass people are here.” Zhang Chao came to a place not far from Zuo Feng and greeted him softly.

“Oh, you are no longer a commoner. You are already General Dangkou.” Zuo Feng said with a duck’s voice, male or female.

“Yes, it’s all thanks to Sir’s care. I’ve already arranged for someone to deliver the items to your mansion.” At this point, Zhang Chao added another number.

“500,000 taels.”

Upon hearing this number, his face was originally very serious. A businesslike Zuo Feng immediately smiled happily. “Aiya, look at what he said. He even prepared something for me. General Zhang really took the trouble.”

“Haha, it should be, it should be.” Seeing Zuo Feng’s expression immediately change, Zhang Chao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “As the ancients said, money can be used to push away ghosts. You really don’t deceive me!”

With money, Zuo Feng brought Zhang Chao into the east gate of the palace and headed towards where Zhang Rang lived.

Along the way, Zuo Feng also reminded Zhang Chao, “Father Zhang doesn’t like people who talk too much. When you see him later, you should listen more and speak less. Do you understand?”
