Teng Qing saw the young man's dejected appearance and said, "After hiring a horseman, we will also buy high-quality camels. There will definitely be benefits for you."

  "Hurray!" The young man shouted with excitement, becoming enthusiastic once again.

  Li Kun glanced at Teng Qing Shan and chuckled, "Teng big brother, this person wants you to buy more slaves! I think it's a good idea for you to buy some too. Having beautiful young girls serve you personally will make your life happy like that of an immortal." The young man beside him excitedly chimed in, "This girl is absolutely right!"

  "Shut up, you little brat!" Teng Qing Shan shouted.

  The young man leading the way smiled foolishly and didn't dare say more.

  "Xiao Juan, you're also teasing me." Teng Qing Shan looked at Li Juan helplessly, Li Juan couldn't help but laugh, her face full of smiles. Even Xiao Ping was sneaking a smile on the side.

  "Oh woman."

  Hong Qingshan let out a sigh of regret.

  "Third one, arrived." The young guide said, "Those swarms of people in front are all accepting employment. Not slaves!"

  Hong Qingshan took one glance.

  On a vacant lot, it was packed with people. At first glance, there were at least over a thousand people. Just then, a fat old man came up enthusiastically and smiled: "Three of you, I am the second person in charge here. What kind of people do you want to hire? Do you have any requirements for appearance, figure, or strength? Just say it."

  Thousands of people, looking for themselves, it's really hard to find.

  Hong Qingshan nodded and said: "I want to invite a horseman! As for appearance, there is no requirement."

  "Coachman?" The fat old man frowned, somewhat disappointed.

  The cost of hiring a horse keeper is generally not high, after all, many people can do this industry. The hiring price is low, and the benefits obtained from the market are also reduced.

  "Alright, I'll tell you something," said the fat old man, "You all wait a moment."

  As he spoke, the fat old man ran into the crowd and ordered his subordinates. Several of his subordinates also quickly ran into the crowd to recruit people. Scattered here and there, several people stood up from their original positions, and in a moment, dozens of people gathered around the fat old man.

  In a short time, these twenty or thirty people all arrived in front of Teng Qing Shan.

  "Three of them, out of these twenty-six people, can ride a horse." The fat old man smiled and said, "Which ones do you want to choose?"

  Teng Qing Shan's gaze swept over this group of people.

  Among this group of people, there were actually five women, but they all looked ordinary. The other men also had some handsome ones.

  "I only need one groom!" Teng Qing Shan looked at the crowd and said, "And...the groom must be able to run with me all over the world. So it's best if you have some internal energy and can take care of yourself." As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people who wanted to accept the job offer as a groom immediately started making a commotion.

  "Running all over the place? Isn't that just asking for death?"

  "No amount of money can make me do it."

  "I still have to support my family and children at home, how can I run around all over the place."

  In an instant, more than ten people immediately turned their heads and left. Only nine people were still standing in front of Qing Shan.

  "How many times can you return to Dan Yang City in a year?" someone among the nine asked.

  "Not even one trip." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  Among the nine, four left immediately, leaving only five. These five were all men, either as thin as a monkey or very strong. There was even one with a disability. The disabled middle-aged man had messy hair like straw, carried a machete on his back, limped on his right foot, and was blind in one eye.

  "It's you." Teng Qing Shan pointed at the cripple.

  "I've seen the master." The lame man said with some surprise, still hobbling on his leg as he bowed.

  The other four people were somewhat dissatisfied with the situation.

  "Alright, alright, disperse!" The fat old man immediately waved his hand and the other four also understood the rules, but still muttered: "Choosing a cripple or a one-eyed person is really brain-damaged." They whispered softly and returned to the crowd.

  "How much silver?" Teng Qing Shan looked at the fat old man.

  "Half a month's wages." The fat old man said with a smile.

  "How much do you want for your monthly salary?" Teng Qing Shan looked at the cripple, and the cripple's one eye rolled: "Thirty taels of silver!" As soon as this was said, it made the fat old man stare, thirty taels of silver to hire a horseman to run all over the world is not expensive. But... hiring a cripple, the price is too high.

  Teng Qing Shan nodded, took out some silver coins from his pocket: "Yes, there are about a dozen or so taels of silver here." Teng Qing Shan handed them over, and the fat old man smiled as he accepted them: "Wait a minute, let's draw up a contract right away. Both parties, plus me as the middleman, will press our handprints on it, and this transaction will be considered complete."

  ******

  After signing the employment contract, Teng Qing Shan went to buy high-quality camels. After all, ordinary camels can't pull a 10,000-jin cargo cart. The young guide excitedly led the way in front... High-quality camels are extremely expensive, and the cost of this trip is also very high.

  On the way.

  Teng Qing Shan, Li Kun and Xiao Ping walked side by side, while the hired groom 'Lame Man' followed behind them.

  "Teng big brother, why did you choose him?" Li Kun asked in puzzlement. Although she was puzzled by Teng Qing Shan's choice, she didn't disagree with it.

  "Teng Qing Shan smiled and said, 'Because he's quite capable.'"

  "Not bad?" Li Kun was somewhat astonished, how high was Teng Qing Shan's strength? The 'not bad' in his mouth, that was at least the peak of a later generation.

  The cripple had a tobacco pipe hanging from his waist, a tattered cotton-padded jacket on his body, and disheveled hair. At this moment, he looked up at Mount Tengqing, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes, but then quickly returned to calmness. This cripple was just like an ordinary person.

  "Am I wrong?" Tan Qing looked at the cripple.

  Under the gaze of Tian Qing Mountain, the lame man felt a tremble in his heart, secretly shocked by the other's strength. The lame man still managed to squeeze out a smile and cupped his hands, saying: "Master Dong, good eyesight."

  "Invite a skilled internal force expert, and it would cost at least a thousand taels of silver per month. I spent thirty taels of silver, but it's still a great bargain." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  "Internal Strength Expert?"

  The youth leading the way heard this and laughed in surprise, "You say that cripple is a master? Haha, how could that be, how did a master end up like this, hired for just thirty taels of silver?"

  "Just lead the way, no nonsense." Li Kun rebuked.

  "Yes, yes." The young guide replied with a smile.

  Teng Qing Shan was talking with the cripple: "What's your name?"

  "I'm telling you, my surname is Wang and my given name is Yang. You can just call me Old Wang." The lame Old Wang clasped his hands together and said, "I also know how to use both hands, but when I was a soldier, someone crippled my leg, so... now I'm just a horse keeper, barely scraping by."

  "Hmm, my surname is Teng, Teng Qing Shan." After saying that, Teng Qing Shan didn't say anything more.

  Lame old Wang, carefully look at the young man who can see through his strength at a glance. It is known that... internal energy is inside the human body. If you don't exert your internal energy, outsiders can't judge your strength at all. But why can this mysterious young man in front of him see that he is an internal energy expert at once?

  This made Old Wang very puzzled.

  "Teng Qing Shan." Old Wang muttered silently in his heart.

  ……

  In the slave market, on top of a domed pavilion, a young nobleman named Li stood by the window, gazing out at the few figures walking below.

  "Sir, someone has arrived."

  With a rustling sound, the fat old man with two strokes of his beard came to the pavilion and bowed respectfully: "Your humble servant pays respects to the young master."

  "Hmm, what were those three people doing just now, and where are they going now?" Young Master Lei asked indifferently, still facing the window.

  Those three are going to hire horsemen, and they said they want to run all over the world! The fat old man didn't know why the legendary Fang Fu Gongzi was concerned about those three people, but he didn't dare hesitate. "From what I heard them say earlier, they also said they were going to the place where camels are sold, to buy several high-quality camels."

  "Superior camel beast?" Young Master Lei whispered quietly.

  "Hmm, you can withdraw." Young Master Lei instructed.

  "Yes." The fat old man didn't even dare to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead, and retreated.

  *******

  At this time, Teng Qing Shan and his group arrived at a huge square, the square was filled with all kinds of wild beasts.

  "Third, this is where the camel beasts are sold." The guide youth smiled and said, "Not only camel beasts, but also big snakes, snow lions and other fierce beasts, as well as lynxes, snow-haired dogs that some rich young ladies like, they all have them here."

  "Roar!!"

  A black snake as thick as a thigh suddenly let out a loud hiss, its winding body slamming into the iron cage, the scales and iron cage colliding with a metallic crash. A pair of cold eyes stared at the person outside the cage.

  "Ah!" Xiaoping was startled and jumped up.

  "It's okay, don't be afraid." The young guide showed no fear at all, smiling as he walked along.

  Teng Qing Shan looked around, at the various strange and exotic beasts. If they were to be placed on Earth in his past life, the vast majority would have been rare and unseen creatures. There were ferocious and intimidating ones, as well as gentle and lovely ones, and even some that made one's skin crawl. The square was filled with countless beasts.

  "This is a family that specializes in selling camels, and it's the best one around here," said the young guide.

  "What are you guys going to buy?" asked a short and chubby man with small eyes, laughing.

  "Camel, a high-quality camel." Teng Qing Shan smiled faintly and said, "It should be called a Bactrian camel, I suppose."

  "Ah?" The little fat man with small eyes was overjoyed, "Please follow me inside." As he spoke, the little fat man also gave a hint to the young guide with his eyes. The young guide's eyes were shining with excitement too... He knew that he would make a fortune.

  Walking alongside each feeding trough, a camel is tied up beside it.

  "We have two more Red Wind War Chariots!" said the small-eyed fat man, "Each of these Red Wind War Chariots can travel thousands of miles and carry tens of thousands of kilograms of heavy objects. You guys are lucky to have arrived at the right time, otherwise, these two Red Wind War Chariots would have been sold out already."

  Teng Qing Shan was also clear.

  Camels are larger than horses in the nine states and have a stronger carrying capacity but weaker running ability.

  Traveling a thousand miles on the vast land of the nine states is like the black-striped horse, which can be done. However, the black-striped horse cannot carry heavy objects weighing tens of thousands of catties.

  "Of course, the price is also higher. One Red Wind War Wolf requires three thousand two silver!" said the small-eyed fat man, and the young guide beside him couldn't help but smile with joy.

  "What? You're here too, sir?" a somewhat excited voice rang out.
