Recently, the life of the army stationed in the plains around the Marfa Peak has been somewhat nourishing, and a group of merchants from the far east will drag countless delicacies, fine porcelain, and incomparably soft brocade every day in exchange for the blue and white wood peculiar to the Duchy of Vic, which has no other use than to burn it with a slight fragrance, and this wood is everywhere in the Forest of Sighs.

"Captain, those Orientals are really stupid, this cheap blue and white wood is willing to exchange such a valuable thing. ”

A guard in front of the barracks weighed a large bag of gold coins in his hand and handed them to the so-called captain, which he had obtained after selling the gifts he had 'gifted' from the Orientals today.

The iron-clad captain Dinier smiled and took the gold coin bag, took out a handful of it, about ten of which were handed to the guards, and said with a smile, "It's also a good thing that you followed the patrol that day and found these sneaky Orientals logging wood, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to extort such a large sum of money." ”

The guard took the gold coin, his eyes were full of golden light, and he put it into his pocket with satisfaction, and said with a respectful face, "Isn't that also your deterrent force? ”

Dinier laughed, "It's been prepared for a long time, and this time Lord Baron is also involved, and after the matter is completed, you and I will be indispensable." ”

"That's that, that's. The guard was hunched over with indescribable humility.

'Gollum~Gollum~'

While the two were talking, the sound of the wheels of the carriage crushing the gravel was heard not far away.

"It's the Orientals coming. Deinier was overjoyed, carefully put away the gold coin bag in his hand, and greeted him.

"Is it my brother Shen Zhongrong?"

Dinier raised his hands and hugged the middle-aged man in front of the first carriage warmly.

The middle-aged man was holding a folding fan, dressed in a brocade dress, with a gold belt around his waist, purple and gold boots on his feet, a crown of white jade hair tied on his head, and a simple smile on his face at all times, which was very easy for people to relax their guard.

"I've seen Captain Deinier. ”

Shen Zhongrong, clasping his hands into fists, saluted the so-called captain, then pointed to the carriage behind him, and continued, "A total of ten carriages of goods have been delivered this time, and this one is for you, Captain Denier. ”

Shen Zhongrong patted the carriage he had been in before, and instructed his entourage to move down the large mahogany box on it.

The box fell to the ground, and there was a heavy falling sound, and the weight was not light.

The corners of Captain Deniere's mouth twitched, but he immediately returned to his original state, and it was clear that he was suppressing his restless heart.

'Squeak~'

With the groaning of the mahogany box, the lid was slowly opened.

'Jeweled!'

Dinier's eyes glazed over, and he swallowed, the captain's first impression of the contents of the box.

In addition to the full amount of gold coins, there were pearls, jade, agate, and ivory buried deep in the pile of gold coins.

Shen Zhongrong laughed, lightly spread the folding fan in his hand, the fan is a landscape painting, the painting style is delicate, the color is heavy, it is obviously the work of the ancient law.

"I smiled. ”

Half-loud, Dinier took a deep breath, but he couldn't calm his still-restless heart.

Strangely following Shen Zhongrong's appearance, he clenched his fists with both hands, and after thanking him, he waved his hand and called the two soldiers who were still standing guard and moved them to his tent.

"It's okay! It's just a little greeting, and if we can work together, there will be more. ”

Shen Zhongrong shook the folding fan lightly, still with a simple smile.

The more Dinier looks at the honest man in front of him, the more he likes it, he is sophisticated and well-versed, and he doesn't need to say much to know what he needs.

"Let's go, Lord Baron has been waiting for a long time. Dinier beckoned and motioned for Shen Zhongrong to follow.

'Gollum~Gollum~'

The sound of wheels sounded again, and slowly entered the barracks.

"You're still amazing. ”

Xing Daorong in the carriage gave Shen Zhongrong a thumbs up, his eyes glancing at Zhou Gongjin.

Zhou Gongjin smiled bitterly, and guessed the meaning in Daorong's eyes without thinking too much.

'Look at it, look at it, people have come into the barracks so easily, how can they be like you, they know how to flirt with the innkeeper. ’

"This kind of strategy is also what the Lord of the Second Floor thinks, Zhong Rong is just obeying the command, such words, please ask the Commander of the Criminal Punishment to mention it in the future. ”

Shen Zhongrong looked ashamed, since the Heavenly Court sent him and a large amount of property through the Void Gate, he had already found that the stupid big man in front of him seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhou Gongjin, but this dissatisfaction was not like the secret hatred between Wenchen, but the feeling that I don't like you, I have to let you know, and apologize to me.

Seeing that Zhou Gongjin didn't speak, Xing Daorong seemed to have something to say, and then he heard a voice from outside the carriage.

"Brother Shen Zhongrong, it's here. ”

This is the voice of Deinier.

Pulling the curtain of the carriage, Shen Zhongrong and the three got off the carriage one by one, and raised their eyes to usher in a nobleman with a goatee.

"Dear Mr. Shen Zhongrong, welcome to Boone. To introduce myself, my name is Brand and I am the baron of the Duchy of Vic. ”

The nobleman stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shen Zhongrong, and then led several people into his tent.

"I heard that you have brought a large number of goods and want to exchange them with us?"

Brand asked softly with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the woody aroma of this wood is very popular with us. ”

"Oh?"

Brand dragged out a long tone, and looked at Shen Zhongrong with a little meaning, in his eyes, this Oriental man is an inexhaustible gold mine, just from the way he dresses, it can be seen that he is a rich and capable person.

Shen Zhongrong turned around, took the tea handed over by his subordinates, gently flicked the leaf foam floating on the tea cup, took a sip, and ignored Brand's digression, this is a transaction, but also a negotiation.

Brand glanced at the tea in Shen Zhongrong's hand with a little curiosity, the tip of his nose twitched slightly, and a fresh fragrance floated into his nose, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said secretly, "Good thing!"

While Shen Zhongrong was drinking tea, his eyes were slightly raised, he smiled honestly, clapped his hands, and then a subordinate brought a cup of tea in the same way.

Brand took a cautious sip, and a grassy fragrance filled his taste buds.

Brand let out a long breath of relief and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Zhongrong put down the teacup and looked at Brand with bright eyes, "This is a special product of the Oriental Heavenly Court, 'tea', you can't give it away if you are not a friend." ”

As soon as Shen Zhongrong said this, he already knew that the initiative at this moment had reached his own hands.
