Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 378: Howl of Wolves, Roar of Lions, Roar of Tigers

After some selection, five large carts of cloth were sorted out.

All these fabrics were shipped from the Parthian Empire. I have to say that the fabrics from the Parthian Empire are really beautiful.

Soon, more than a dozen carriages of goods and various kinds of leather were sorted out.

Lin Wanwan and her group of friends were not idle either. It would take several days to sort out these things. Naitang also found out about the new actions of the Four Gods Village.

This time, the trading partner with their old neighbor was still the Parthian Empire, but they changed a merchant, and the transaction date agreed upon by both parties soon arrived.

Mrs. Bai walked into the room and gently picked up the sleeping Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan mumbled a few words in her sleep. Mrs. Bai carried her out of the room and into the yard. The carriage was already full of people.

Mrs. Bai carried Lin Wanwan onto the carriage. With the sound of a crisp whip, the carriage started slowly, and a group of people headed towards the new transaction area. At the entrance of the trail, it was heavily guarded.

The mountains around the village are steep and there are only narrow and rugged paths.

This mountain stronghold was the trading location chosen by the Parthian Empire to ensure that the goods would be safe.

The soldiers of the Parthian Empire were dressed in heavy armor that shone with a cold light and held long spears in their hands.

They warily examined every figure that tried to approach.

Anyone who wants to enter the stronghold must first go through this first strict inspection checkpoint. Anyone who shows any suspicion will be quickly controlled by the soldiers.

Once you step into the stronghold, you will see a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Soldiers are everywhere.

Zhuque put his hands on his hips and said coldly, "I want to see who dares to touch our goods this time!"

Qinglong narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

“I actually hope those people come and rob us.

I want to see who has such courage."

Baihu stood aside, snorted coldly, his face full of disdain:

"These people are just relying on some crooked ways, if I find them out.

Humph, I will definitely peel off their skin and pull out their tendons, leaving them unable to live or die!"

Seeing this, Xuanwu sighed helplessly, his tone filled with a hint of disappointment:

"You are so impulsive. We are now heading to the headquarters of the Parthian Empire.

I heard that the Parthian Empire only has a few thousand soldiers, but we have tens of thousands, and each of our brothers is a veteran of many battles.

But we can't be careless. Since the Parthian Empire dares to choose to trade on their territory, they must be confident.

We must be careful of the traps they set, and if we find something is wrong, we must act according to the plan immediately."

They went straight to the Parthian stronghold. The leader of the stronghold came out and said, "Welcome! I've prepared a lot of fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women..."

Qinglong said loudly: "Don't be so pretentious. We have brought all our belongings with us this time. Are your things ready?"

The leader of the village laughed heartily and said, "Of course everything is prepared. We don't know who was responsible for the incident last time, so we have to be more careful this time."

Qinglong chuckled and said, "Don't worry! There will definitely be no problems this time. I brought tens of thousands of brothers with me!"

This is a direct show-off and also a warning.

The leader of the village smiled and said, "Alright, let's not waste any more time. We have everything ready. Bring everything over here."

As the transaction time approaches, the entire village is shrouded in a tense and busy atmosphere.

The amount of this transaction is huge. Compared with the last time, the amount of goods is three times more.

The porters shouted and hurried, moving the goods out one trip after another.

Soon, the originally spacious stronghold was filled with trade goods, and the supplies shipped from the Parthian Empire were rich and diverse.

In addition to food, the most eye-catching thing is the pieces of cloth.

There is soft silk that feels as smooth as running water, and the exquisite patterns woven on it are intricate and delicate, with flowers, birds, fish and insects appearing lifelike.

Various types of fur also account for a considerable proportion. Precious fox fur has fluffy and soft fur. The fur coats made from it are warm and beautiful, and are a symbol of status for the nobles.

Wolf skin can be made into strong and durable leather boots.

In addition, there are exquisite porcelain.

These porcelains have various shapes, including plum bottles with smooth lines and elegant landscape paintings painted in ink on the bottle.

There are small and exquisite teapots with various relief carvings on the body.

More than a dozen boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry were opened. Golden hairpins sparkled, silver jewelry had exquisite patterns, and there were also various gemstones, pearls, and agates...

The leader of the village raised his chin and said, "Look at these things. Are you satisfied?"

Qinglong walked forward with his men, his eyes sharp, and after a quick inspection, he nodded and said, "Not bad, but I wonder if all this gold and silver is real?"

When the leader of the village heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised:

“Of course it’s true, there’s no need to lie to you, you can check it anytime.

By the way, we also want to see if your minerals are genuine and what their quality is like."

Both parties then began to check carefully, and after a thorough inspection, they confirmed that everything was correct.

Everyone then worked busily to move all the things onto their carriages.

Just as the last box of goods was placed on the carriage, the originally quiet horses suddenly became agitated.

They pawed their hooves restlessly, and the horses' hooves stomped heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. They exhaled heavily from their noses, making a "whooshing" sound.

The reins were pulled tightly, and some horses even began to spin in place, trying to break free and neighing.

Qinglong's face was filled with rage. He gripped the knife tightly and roared at the top of his voice, "What the hell is going on? Are you trying to cheat again?"

The leader of the opposite stronghold was equally nervous, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He shouted, "Everyone, get your spirits up! I feel like something's not right!"

The people around him echoed, their voices filled with uneasiness: "That's right! I feel weird too."

Before he could finish his words, a sharp wolf howl suddenly broke the silence.

Immediately afterwards, countless wolf howls rose one after another, interweaving into a terrifying wave of sound.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and someone trembled and said, "This...this can't be a wolf? Could it be a pack of wolves? Why are there so many in this mountain..."

Before they could recover from the shock, a powerful lion roar was heard, which made people's ears hurt. Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and they shouted in fear: "It's the sound of a lion!"

Before I could digest this fear, another tiger roar was heard.

The cries of various animals echoed in the valley, frightening people, but no one knew where these sounds came from.

Everyone was frantically gripping their swords and spears, their knuckles turning white from the exertion.
