This is an adult black panther. It lies on a thick branch that stretches outward, with a soft body as soft as a snake against the trunk. Its extremely huge front paws are swaying at any time. Its extremely sharp claws stretch out its claw sheaths and firmly grasps the bark. The two eyes that show fierce light are waiting for the group of invaders to approach in anger and hungrily.

A black lightning bolt rushed towards Li Qingan, who was closest.

Li Qingan was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground by the leopard. The strong bright light armor on his body blocked the sharp claws of the black panther. The leopard shook his head and bit his bloody mouth at his neck. Li Qingan took the opportunity to stuff the arrow in his hand into its mouth, his hands were empty, and he grabbed the leopard's neck.

Tang Jun, his subordinates, was panicked and drew their swords and rushed forward. Li Qingan yelled, "You all dodge!"

At the critical moment of life and death, his wildness was aroused. His big hand grabbed the leopard's neck, turned over suddenly, and pressed the leopard under him.

The leopard's eyes were blood red, and a pungent smell was constantly spraying out of its mouth. It twisted its neck desperately, and its sharp claws grabbed Li Qing'an's face. Suddenly, it screamed wildly, gradually stopping its struggle. The luster in its eyes disappeared, revealing the gray of death.

The tail swung weakly, and it finally stopped moving. Li Qing'an slowly pulled out the dagger from its heart. He sat on the snow weakly, feeling a little exhausted.

After a long time, Li Qing'an stood up, patted the snow on his body, and smiled at several stupid subordinates and said, "How much do you think this black panther is worth?"

Ten Tang soldiers surrounded him and said, "The year before yesterday, Lifei Shu mainly bought a spotted leopard, which sold it for ten cents. This kind of black panther has never seen it before. It is probably more valuable, at least twenty cents."

"Not stop! No more stop!"

Veteran Han Jinping shook his head and said, "That was sold to Hu Shang, and of course it was lowered. If you go to Bahuancheng to sell, it will be at least five times."

Li Qingan carried the black panther on his shoulder and smiled, "Okay, let's go to Bahuancheng to sell it."

Bahuan City is today's Aksu, about 200 miles away from Sulou Fengshou Fortress. It is the capital of Gumo Kingdom, a major country in the Western Regions. It is the only way to Kucha to Shule. It has abundant grass and many rivers. It has been a densely populated place since ancient times.

This is also one of the important military centers of the Tang army stationed heavily in the army. It has Ba Huan Guard. That afternoon, Li Qing'an, He Yanming and Deputy Qian Shu came to Ba Huancheng. Deputy Qian Shu was named Qian Qian, who was Li Fei Yuanli's deputy. He came to Ba Huancheng to handle the matter of Li Qing'an's fire chief. After entering the city, Qian Qian went to do business and made an appointment for the meeting place. Li Qing'an and He Yanming took the sheep's head and deer antlers to the store opened by the Hu people.

Bahuan City is not big, with low houses, mostly flat roofs and made of stones. There is only one east-west main road in the city, leading directly to the royal palace. Various shops are densely distributed on both sides of the avenue, buying and selling gems, silverware, spices, cloths, silk, tea, grains, etc. from the Lingxi region. The streets are crowded and very lively. The Hu people in Bahuan City are mainly descendants of the Wusu people. After the Turks invaded the south, the Anxi region also incorporated the blood of the Turks. There are also many Han people on the street. They are mainly military families, and some merchants also opened shops from Zhongyuan. Therefore, the Central Plains specialty wine shops, inns, brothels, and gambling halls are also everywhere.

Argali is a kind of auspicious thing for locals. Many local Hu people like to hang the head of aragali at home as decoration. Along the way, Hu people stop them from time to time.

"June, how about selling me argas head?"

Hu's Chinese is very awkward, but the 'hush!' in his hand was particularly beautiful. Li Qing'an stopped and smiled and said, "How much do you want to pay?"

"Sanguan, will you do it?"

"I'll give you a three-ton of money to a red deer head, and I'll buy at least four-ton of argas heads."

"The four-cent of money is so expensive. I'll add another 500 yuan, that's OK!"

"No! At least three stakes and nine hundred and fifty cents are at least, less than four stakes."

"Forget it, just four guan is four guan! Let me choose a good one."

"Haha! The deal."

When one person made a deal, a large group of Hu people immediately surrounded him, fighting for it, and after a moment, they snatched all the argali and red deer in their hands, and exchanged them for a large sack of yellow copper coins. Li Qing was overjoyed and said to He Yanming: "Xiao He, let's have a drink."

He Yanming hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Huo Chang, I want to go home and have a look, is that OK?"

His family is outside Bahuan City, and Vice Qian Shu happened to be in charge of the service. Of course he didn't want to let go of this opportunity. Li Qing'an nodded and smiled, "You go quickly and come back quickly, we will rush back in the afternoon!"

"I'll just go home and check it out and come back soon."

He Yanming turned his horse's head and ran out of the city. Li Qing'an's throat was so itchy that he turned around and came to a restaurant run by Han people.

"June, drink!"

Hu Xiaoer came up diligently, and he could understand Chinese. Li Qing'an pointed to the sack, "Turn the money in for me and I will give you ten cents."

"Okay!"

Hu Xiaoer happily went to carry the sack, but unexpectedly, nearly 200 kilograms of copper coins almost crushed him. He took great effort to drag the sack into the winery.

The wine shop was very wide, half of them sat. A beard who was urging him to drink came up like a butterfly, and smiled and asked, "What wine does Hanlang drink?"

"Give two pots of high-quality Gaochang wine and cut three pounds of mutton sauce."

"Hanlang sits for a moment, come here." Hu Ji flew away like a butterfly again.

Li Qing'an sat down and came to the Tang Dynasty for more than a month. He had adapted to many things, but he could not adapt to this one. The Tang Dynasty had no chairs and they all knelt on the mat or sat cross-legged on the low Hu bed, which made his legs sore.

Li Qingan sat down on a bed of Hu, put a leopard skin on a low table, and the shopkeeper came over and bowed to him: "Mr. Jun, it seems that he is the first time he has been to the small shop!"

"I joined the army at Sulou Fengjun Fort and rarely came to Bahuancheng."

"Oh! It's very far away. Jun Ye, my surname is Yang, and I am the shopkeeper here. I will come to Bahuancheng in the future and ask Duoduo to visit our store."

"Sure! Sure!"

Li Qingan nodded with a smile. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Shopkeeper Yang, which is the most famous gem shop in Bahuancheng? I mean the store that specializes in precious gems."

Manager Yang thought for a while and said, "It should be the 'Sogdian Old Store', it is the most famous."

"Thank you!"

Li Qing'an opened the package and pointed at the Black Panther Skin and said, "Shopkeeper Yang, please ask me again, how much can this leopard skin cost?"

"Ah! It's a black leopard."

The shopkeeper exclaimed, attracting the eyes of the diners around him. Everyone surrounded him and talked in surprise.

"Mr. Junyi, leopard skin is expensive, and I have never seen such black panthers before. I guess they are worth at least 150 guan. If they are sold to a large place like Chang'an or Luoyang, they will cost more than 500 guan."

Li Qingan suddenly remembered that the black leopard should be a jaguar, and there was no such thing as the East. This leopard probably had a genetic mutation. In this way, this black leopard may be the only one in the world. It is indeed a pity to sell it like this.

"I just asked casually and didn't want to sell it."

Li Qingan changed his mind and put away the leopard skin. Seeing that he didn't want to sell it, the diners returned to their seats, and the wine and food were also delivered.

Just as Li Qingan picked up the wine glass, he suddenly heard a crisp voice, "Soldiers, sell me your black panther skin."
