Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South Chapter 88 Precious
The next day, the genius was faintly bright, and Alvin got up. When he saw that O'Ann was still asleep, he came out of the room lightly. When Junyun returned to the Doge's Palace, he would no longer sleep in the empty boat, so Alvin would be able to enjoy a night without listening to snoring.
As soon as he left the room, he saw Aoi leaning against the door of the opposite room waiting for him.
The reason why these two people got up so early was because they had something to ask to see Miss Junyun.
Junyun is now the temporary governor of Fuz Province, and it's not like they can see it if they want to.
The attendant led Alwin and Aoi into the luxurious waiting room, and when they entered, they found that it was quite lively, and many people were waiting here. Alvin scanned the huge hall and found that the dozen or so were officials, nobles, or wealthy gentry, and he thought to himself that Junyun must have a lot to arrange today.
However, this fellow student of Tide College was still very face-saving, and was the first to meet them as soon as he finished breakfast.
Another attendant took the two into Junyun's study. As soon as Alvin entered the door, he sighed that the governor of Yuankang was really extravagant, such a magnificent study, it is estimated that even the king would sigh to himself when he saw it.
A splendid carpet of gold-patterned wool with a red sandalwood base was laid straight from the doorway to the desk, and it was three times the size of Erwin's bedroom in the Earl's Court. Now that I think about it, the carpet I saw in the secret room of the Luo Dai organization yesterday seems unremarkable.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard Jun Yun say straight to the point: "What is the matter with coming here so early in the morning?"
Alvin also knew that she was very busy at this time, and she didn't have time to greet politely, so she said bluntly, "That's right, we were going to leave for the north, and we wanted to buy some precious ore and sell it there... ”
"To the north, you?" Junyun interrupted as he looked at Alwyn in confusion.
"Don't you know?" Alwyn was a little surprised.
Junyun shook his head.
"Over the Great Mountains to the North?" Junyun confirmed again.
"Hmm. Alwyn nodded.
"Why don't you stay and fight against Ressa together?" Junyun looked confused, "What about your father's hatred?"
"I don't know. Alvin looked very heartless when he said this.
"I really don't know what you all think, don't you want to take revenge, or are you all scared of those flying dragons of the Ressa family?" Jun Yun said with great dissatisfaction.
Alwyn could tell that she was being sarcastic about O'Nian, and he thought to himself, "You were dizzy when that monster came over, and of course you don't know how scary it is." ”
But naturally he won't say this, after all, there is a need for people right now.
"Okay. Now that you have made up your mind, I will not force you to keep you. Junyun pondered for a moment and then said, "If you want to come back, I'm always welcome." ”
Alvin nodded, "I'm here to ask you for something today?"
"You just mentioned the precious ore, are you planning to buy the ore from me?" Jun Yun asked with a smile, "You came to me, didn't you just want to be cheaper?"
"If it's an ordinary ore, why am I embarrassed to open this mouth," Alvin also laughed, "Could it be that I still take advantage of my old classmates at this time?"
"I can't think of it, what kind of ore is that, please run it yourself?" asked Junyun.
"You... I'm sure you've heard of 'falling crystals,' right?" Alvin said, glancing at her.
Jun Yun frowned and looked at him, "How did you know this?"
As soon as Alwin heard this, he felt that as he expected, Governor Yuankang must have hidden private goods. Kwai tilt also looked at him quietly at this time.
He knew what Kwai Tan meant, so he didn't mention the organization of Luo Dai, "It was Kwai Tan who told me, she is a big businessman who travels between the north and the south, so it's not surprising to know this." ”
Alvin knew that Junyun must have dealt with Aoi when he was recuperating from his injuries on the airboat.
"You know about falling crystals?" Junyun gave Aoi a suspicious look.
The little girl nodded.
"This thing is also found in the north?" Junyun asked, looking at Aoi Tilt.
"To be exact, as long as there is a mine near Tlaldee, there will be some falling crystals. Alvin replied first. This was his guess after learning that the Light Orthodox Church had mined fallen crystals in Maine.
"In that case, this thing is not valuable," said Junyun, "and isn't it also produced in the north?"
"Production is production, but in fact, very few people know about it, and I just heard the elders in the family mention it by chance. Moreover, to the north of the Great Mountain Range, there is a vast forest sea, which is strange and gloomy, but no one dares to mine the fallen crystals there. Kwai tilted and looked at Junyun and said, "In the past two days, Brother Alvin has always asked me if I have some particularly valuable ores, and I thought of this mysterious falling crystal, where do I know that Big Brother became interested as soon as he heard it." The elders have said that near the Great Mountain Range, there will always be falling crystal veins, and Maine Province is bordered by the Great Mountain Range in the north, so there should be one in the future. So let's try our luck here today, Sister Junyun, and see if you know this thing, sister. ”
Jun Yun thought for a while and glanced at the two of them, "I won't tell you anything, Luojing... I do have it here. Now I don't have to worry so much, so I'll just say that my father found these falling crystalline stones from a cave in the Zam Plateau. ”
Her so-called scruples, that is, King Kelman's explicit prohibition of the mining of fallen ore veins. Now it's time to change the dynasty, who will pursue this.
"How much?" Alvin asked.
Jun Yun looked around the room, "It's about enough to fill this study." ”
Alvin couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked at Aoi and said, "This... WE ALSO ... I can't take that much with me. ”
"Look at what you said, big brother, one trip can't work, two trips, three trips, it's always okay, right?" said Aoi with a smile.
Alvin actually wanted to say that he didn't necessarily have that much money to buy such a large amount, and Kwai was telling him that there would always be a way to do business and talk slowly.
"So what are you going to do?" Junyun said curiously.
Alvin had thought about it last night.
He looked at Junyun and smiled bitterly: "Actually, to be honest, we don't know what the price of this thing is." ”
"Then you can't come here in a hurry early in the morning and don't have a plan, right?" Junyun said.
"Of course not. Alvin looked at Junyun and said, "In this case, I'll take 50,000 Looney out, first pack me a few boxes of falling crystal ore and take it away, and when I get to the north, if this thing can be sold for a price, I will divide half of the money I get." If I smash it, then the 50,000 Looney will be regarded as my military sponsorship of Fuz Province. ”
"Then what do you mean ... Shall we settle the price at half the price you sold?" Jun Yun asked.
"Yes. The first batch of boxes of rough stones that I took away were weighed, and when Kwai came back next time, it would be enough to settle the account, anyway, return more and make up for less. "Of course, if the rough can be sold." ”
Aoi nodded silently, she felt in her heart that Brother Erwin's plan was still good, and the investment of 50,000 Looney was also within a reasonable range.
"Then I don't know how much you sell it for, what should I do if I come back and report it to me?" Junyun quipped as he looked at him.
Alvin also laughed, "It's up to you to believe me or not." ”
He changed his mind and said, "Why don't you send someone to the north with us?"
"Hey, I'm too full to eat, and I've sent someone to spy on you?" Junyun scoffed.
"What should I do? Anyway, you just don't believe me?" Alvin said helplessly with a smile, "Alas, it's a waste to pay back your classmates." ”
"Alright, alright, just do as you say. Junyun no longer embarrassed Alwin, "These fallen crystalline rough stones have been piled up there for some years, and I don't know what to use them for anyway, so you can just take them." ”
The reason why Jun Yun agreed so easily was that she really didn't realize what the use of those falling crystals was, and it was good to ask Alvin to sell them for cash, after all, she had a place to use the money when the army was enlisted in the future. Second, after all, Alvin and her escaped from the plains battlefield together, although the two usually don't have much intersection, and the friendship between classmates is not deep, but now the two of them are in a similar bleak situation, so that she feels that he will not lie to her.
Speaking of which, it's still the key to Elwin's sentence - classmates. After a few years of observation, Jun Yun just felt that Alvin was a very trustworthy person, even if he mixed with unreliable people like Lai Wu and Chen Zhu all day long, it would not affect her judgment at all.
Of course, Alvin really didn't plan to make a fuss about the price, he thought to himself that if he really made a lot of money and came back with half of it, he would also be considered to be funding Junyun, after all, he still didn't want Ressa to sit on it subconsciously.
"You really don't plan to stay?" Junyun turned back to her previous topic, still trying to convince Alwyn to come down. She vaguely felt that as long as Alvenken stayed, Onian would be willing to stay.
"Nope. Alvin whispered. For some reason, in the face of the clouds in front of him, he felt a little weak. Even if he knew that Junyun was fighting against Ressa with the power of Fuz Province, it was mostly for herself, but when facing such a determined person, he was a little weak-hearted.
Maybe he is really confused now, or maybe he is really scared, which will make him have the psychology he has now.
Therefore, he still admires Junyun very much, and even admires Kaiba a little. He thought to himself, these people are still very courageous.
"Well, that can only wish you a smooth and smooth journey. Schoolmate. Although Junyun said it with a smile, there was an indescribable confusion in this "classmate".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After chatting with Junyun, Alvin and Kwai took a stroll through the garden of the Governor's Palace.
"Big brother, do you know why I didn't take Langyun in to see the elder yesterday?"
"Didn't you say that you were afraid that Luo Dai's people would misunderstand, why?" Alvin was actually quite curious, but he didn't ask in front of Langyun, and after he came back, he chatted with Onian until late at night, and never gave him a chance to ask this question.
"It's true that I don't want the people of Luo Dai to mistakenly think that we are colluding with local officials to find out what is going on with them, and they are still very sensitive to this. So you have to be careful when dealing with these people. Aoi whispered.
"But Langyun is just a common man in Twaddan, what's there to be afraid of?"
Aoi tilted her face and stared at him, "That's right, Langyun may be an ordinary person now, but how can you be sure that he must have been an ordinary person before he met you, big brother?"
"Oh ... Alvin suddenly realized, and he understood why Aoi was talking about this at this time.
"It turns out that this little girl is really worried that Langyun is an informant of the Governor's Mansion, so she didn't take him in, I said. Alvin thought to himself, "No wonder this girl can go north and south at a young age, it's not easy." ”
However, Alvin had no doubts about Langyun.
Not long after the two returned to the airboat, Junyun sent someone to bring several heavy boxes. He was accompanied by Kaiba.
Alvin was worried that no one would hand over the 50,000 Looney, and when he saw that it was Kaiba who came, he asked the guy to bring the money back.
Keba asked what the 50,000 Looney was for, and Alvin only said that he had asked the Governor's Mansion to buy a lot of precious rough ore.
"I heard you're going north?" said Keba, glancing at Alwin.
Alvin thought that this should be what Junyun said to Kaiba, but he didn't expect this female classmate to be quite careful and knew to let Kaiba send him off.
"Hehe, seeing you circling around that Junyun girl like a fly for the past two days, I haven't even had time to mention this to you. Alvin laughed and scolded, "Lord, you didn't ask." What I was about to say that night in Salyushi was interrupted by your Miss Junyun, and he didn't say it. ”
But Keba didn't smile, turned his head and looked at him seriously, "Really want to leave?"
Alwyn smiled, looked at the people up and down the deck, and nodded.
"I thought you and the princess would stay. Keba said.
Alvin shook his head and didn't speak.
"It's really in a hurry, I didn't even eat a meal together, I didn't drink wine, and I left?" Kaiba said with some complaints, "It's also to blame Xia Ye and a few of them for not saying a word to me." ”
"They probably thought I told you. ”
"Alas... Kaiba sighed.
Then the two fell silent.
"Precious. Keba said suddenly, he knew Alwin very well, and knew that once he had made a decision, it would be futile to say anything himself, so he only said these two words.
"Precious. Alwyn looked back at Keba and said seriously.
Once all the cargo to be taken away was stored in the cargo room below deck, the empty boat was ready to go.
When everyone was done with the business at hand, Alwyn greeted him, and everyone gathered around.
Everyone is not stupid, and when they saw this posture, they roughly guessed that Kaiba would not go north with everyone.
Xia Ye, Langyun, Qiao Zhi and more than a dozen other brothers stepped forward one by one to hug and greet Kaiba, after all, they were born and died together, needless to say, a hug is enough.
Under the clear sky, the airboat slowly pulled up.
Keba tilted his head, the projection of the airship brushing his cheeks, and he waved his hand at the people on deck.
"I don't know when I'll see this goodbye. He sighed inwardly.
Alvin looked at the figure below with a calm face, and didn't wave to Keba like everyone else, but just said silently: "Cherish." ”
