Believing that bringing a dozen or so rifles would make the other side more likely to accept them, they went out the next day to look for a buyer.
In truth, they did not stand out too much. Most of the people arriving in Luoyang ahead of time either lived nearby or had means of transport, just like Liu Hong and his group. Therefore, traders buying and selling livestock could be seen wandering around the city gates every day. After all, the city entry fee was so high that many people could not afford to get in. To gain entry into Luoyang City, those who had livestock chose to sell them for cash; with money, they could enter.
So, after walking around for a bit, they brought back a livestock trader who was willing to buy. Bicycles and donkey carts were extremely important tools for refugees fleeing famine, so they fetched a pretty good price. They agreed to load their luggage onto the train station and conduct the transaction there.
