That young man cupped his hands and replied, "In this cold weather, who dares to go to Xi Rong? Everyone should wait until the snow melts in spring! " The Monkey King had already expected this and said, "I won't hide it from little brother, us four master and disciples are travelling to the west and the journey is very long. We will reach the western barbarians and if we don't dare to travel, we won't be able to finish it even after seventy or eighty years."
The young man couldn't bear to see them send themselves to their deaths and refused to say anything.
Finally the Monkey King said with a smile, "Then does little brother know someone who is familiar with Qin and the Righteous Canal and can be our guide. There will be a way to the Righteous Canal in the west. "
"This is a method. If someone says yes, the Righteous Canal King admires the culture of the central plains and might not make things difficult for the two of you." The young man said, "But if you go to the Righteous Canal, you will still have a chance of survival. After all, the Righteous Canal King was once friendly with our Xia, but you must not go west. The Guifang people over there live with demons and ghosts and are very evil. They eat people's livers and are like ghosts. "
"Moreover the old Righteous Canal King favoured people from the central plains. Later on the Jin Country's You Yu won the trust of the Righteous Canal King and was sent to our country. The previous king saw that You Yu was familiar with the customs of the Righteous Canal and used a large sum of money to lure him and the Righteous Canal King, making You Yu join our old Qin instead. After that You Yu became a general and won many battles, helping the country twelve times and opening up a thousand miles of land. The current Righteous Canal King is the old king's son and because of this, he is very wary of the people of the central plains. If you want to gain his trust and send troops to protect you on your journey to the west and not be harmed by those small tribes, there will be many difficulties. "
The Monkey King nodded and said, "You Yu, you Yu. Us master and disciples are not afraid of any difficulties, we are only afraid of wasting time on the road and not being able to travel. As long as we are on the road, no matter how many difficulties there are, I, Old Sun, will be able to deal with them!"
"If you insist on this, then follow me! We often go to the canal to trade, so we know many people who are familiar with the canal. Us Qin people are naturally not willing to die with you, but there are many soldiers here that were left behind when the canal was divided. They are greedy and do not care about their lives, so if you bribe them with money, they will definitely be willing. "The young man said.
"Only those mixed hounds do not have any integrity and are very greedy. I'm afraid that they will collude with the righteous canal's War Hounds to harm you. If they come back alone with the goods, I will kill that person! Consider it as revenge for you! "
Of course the Monkey King would not be harmed by a small Qin War Hounds, but he still accepted his request and cupped his hands in thanks.
That young man's family was very large, just the herd of cattle and horses alone numbered over a thousand. His first words were to kill the War Hounds to avenge them, so his family must be a Qin merchant. He gave the whip to the shepherd and brought Chen Ang and the others to his home. The young man's family was in the livestock business, as well as some goods from various countries. The merchants of this time could not compare to the future, they could truly travel the world. This was because there were many wars between countries, so the flow of goods was not smooth. There was a large price difference between high and low, but because the countries were opposing each other, there was a large risk in trading.
Therefore, a true merchant would be like a small army every time they went on a business trip. They would guard against thousands of bandits while also guarding against the armies of various countries. The young man's father was even more so. He was in the cattle and horses business, so he had several large herds of cattle and horses. How could these beasts be placed in one place? Every day, he would chase after the water and distribute the cattle to different pastures. At a fixed time, he would go to various places to sell them. Therefore, he would always bring his entire fortune with him at all times.
The young man's home was a market where the caravan had set up camp. Light sheds were scattered around the market, and in the center was the young man's father. There was a caravan that was tightly arranged. Around them were the scattered merchants who were trying to make a living. Most of them were from the Hu tribe. Most of the Qin people were wealthy and did not want to live a vagrant life. Only the Hu tribe left from the Righteous Canal in the past could adapt to this kind of life.
Chen Ang was currently riding on a bronze ox carriage. The strong plate horned green ox was not much, but the bronze used for the carriage was very rare.
At this time, the countries could already smelt iron, but in China, the taste of iron was rather poor. The smelting technology had not developed to that level, so the quality of pig iron was extremely poor. It was known as bad metal, while bronze was known as good metal. It was worth a lot. Chen Ang was riding on a bronze carriage, and his extravagance was comparable to riding on a golden carriage in the future. Only the nobility of a large country could be so extravagant.
Thinking about the Spring and Autumn Hegemon, he was only known as the Kingdom of Thousand Chariots. His chariot did not even use a third of the bronze that Chen Ang was riding on.
Chen Ang's extravagance as he entered the camp, the young man's father heard about it and came out to welcome him. He saw a stout official with an enviable fat reserve. Chen Ang saw that the War Hound women were looking at the official with admiration and admiration. Thinking about it, in the eyes of the people now, the stout official had a double chin, a big belly, and was no less than the vest muscles and mermaid lines of the future.
This fat official, in the eyes of the present, could be said to be a Pan An Song Yu, a model of a tyrant who had both beauty and wealth.
The stout middle-aged man was full of smiles as he welcomed them, "The two doctors have come from afar, but I have been impolite and was unable to send someone to welcome you. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome the two doctors!" Chen Ang declined with a smile, "Gentleman Zhu, don't be anxious. I think I have a flaw in my divination, and there are always no good banquets. The few times I have attended banquets, I have hindered the host. Either my blood splattered on the spot, or my soul was lost. I have received your kind invitation, how could I have hindered you? Let's just have a simple reception, we still need a gentleman's help on our journey to the west. "
Hearing him decline like this, some people were dissatisfied. A shrewd-looking steward following behind Zhu Dahao laughed, "I wonder what kind of hindrance it is? Asking a guest to reject my host's face? "
She had wronged Chen Ang. He was doing this out of good intentions!
Chen Ang silently counted, the number of times he had attended banquets was really not many, it was just a few times when he was on Mount Shu, a birthday, or a gathering.
It was just that the outcome was not very good, the birthday person lost his own life, the gathering fought with him on the spot, be it the host, the guest, the manservant, or the chef, basically all died in the end. Counting carefully, the hosts and guests of those banquets were basically all killed by him! There were also people like Zhu Dahao who treated him like this, the king of the Merman Sea Kingdom seemed to have been killed by the prince! As for the guests, he was killed on the spot.
And in this life, there was also one who invited him to a banquet, the one who posted the invitation, the one who invited him, and now they were suffering in the 18 levels of hell, becoming a pair of brothers in hardship.
Chen Ang could only sigh, "The last time King Qin invited me, this brute disciple of mine caused a ruckus and fought his way out of the royal court, only scaring my Queen Mother, I wonder if she has calmed down a little?"
Zhu Dahao's face twitched, his heart was inexplicably shocked, he thought to himself, "Bitter! How did I provoke this group of evil stars to come uninvited? "
