Early the next morning, Xiang Jin Lai left, he wanted to go to Hu Wei to discuss, Bay City is a small city, half an hour has arrived at Hu Wei's mansion, before entering the door, I saw that the door was moving some things outside the door, it had been filled with three or two big carriages, Hu Wei was directing the shipment of valuables, saw Xiang Jinlai, hurriedly came over, pulled him and walked home, and said: "I haven't been home for a long time, go, go in first, my father is also here, he always talks about you?"

"You should go and see Uncle Hu first!"

Hu Xinghai was standing by the pond, holding fish food in his hand and throwing it in, but he seemed to be absent-minded, and when he saw Hu Wei pulling towards Jinlai, he said from afar: "The virtuous nephew hasn't been here for a long time, how is your father lately?"

Thank you Uncle Hu, my dad has been busy with the brewing business lately, and everything is fine!

"Okay, let's not be so polite, come and sit!" Hu Xinghai beckoned.

Seeing them sit down, there are people who have made tea and set up a few pastry plates, Yuemi people love to eat dim sum, so in addition to tea, there are generally some dim sum on the guests.

"What does Ling Zun think?" Hu Xinghai asked directly.

Hearing Hu Xinghai's direct question, he no longer greeted politely, and replied: "My father also heard the rumors, and he thinks the same as you." Xiang Jin Lai confessed his father's thoughts.

"Well, Jin, this matter should be sooner rather than later, as you can see, we are actually ready, and we will leave the day after tomorrow. ”

"Uncle Hu, don't you have a right to vote, do they dare to ignore the election quota?" Xiang Jin Lai still asked.

"Hmph, the election quota is a symbol of status and status, but who cares about the other four countries? They pay attention to the supremacy of imperial power, except for the royal family and the big sects, everyone else is a slave, how can you care about the right to vote in your hand? If Yuemi can continue to maintain the current situation, it will naturally be worry-free, but no matter who controls the situation in the other countries, you see, the first thing is to plunder, what is there to grab from the common people, our group of people will bear the brunt. ”

"Aren't they afraid that Jimo Han will come back to trouble them?"

"The Five Kingdoms are already weak, and they are the land of four wars, the founding time is short, and the perennial infiltration of the sects of various countries makes every force not to be underestimated, once they compete with each other, and even a large number of monks fight and fight, what do you think we can do? Can we spend money to buy peace? Will we be willing to give away our wealth to others after more than ten years of hard work? Will we be willing? Will we let our children live a poor life in the future? I believe that your father thinks the same!"

Xiang Jinlai nodded frequently when he listened, and he couldn't help but admire Hu Xinghai in his heart for seeing it thoroughly!

"Could it be that the current lord of the Yuemi Kingdom is going to lose the election this time? Will the Falling Mountain Sect agree?"

"Jin Lai, you don't know much about the political situation, the reason why the situation in Yuemi Country is stable is because Jimo Han is here, she doesn't need to say anything, just sit in the sect, other sects don't dare to have objections, and the sects and forces of other countries don't dare to provoke, you must know that the anger of the original ancestor is not something that one sect or one faction can bear, and a country does not dare to offend. Besides, the general election is coming soon, at this time, the original ancestor of Jimo Han will not leave according to common sense, the four countries are all jackals, tigers and leopards, how could she not know, there must be ** annoyance in this, we don't know, in short, we can't take risks. It's a big deal that after a while, the situation here will be stable, and we will come back. ”

Xiang Jin Lai thoughtfully.

"I organized a big boat the day after tomorrow, why don't we go together?"

"Why don't you go inland?"

"The nearest inland route is through the snow-capped mountain road, but the light car is simple and acceptable, and it is still fast and safer to carry a lot of supplies!"

"Well, but I'm afraid that the family business will not be completed in more than a month, Uncle Hu, you can go first, just leave me the address, and when we settle down, we will go to the Shenglan Kingdom to meet you."

"That's fine, I don't think it's going to be messy so soon."

A few people chatted for a while, Xiang Jin came out of the Hu family's mansion, he did not go home directly, but went to Cong Yun Sect to find Xiang Wu, after all, they were all in the new city, and they arrived at Cong Yun Sect after a while, but there was a disciple who happened to be familiar with Xiang Wu, and told him that he had an urgent order from the sect to be transferred back to the Qi Guo Sect, and Xiang Jin Lai had no choice but to say goodbye.

Back home, it was lunch time, the family was sitting at the dinner table, there was no food, only a few cups of tea, it seemed that he was preoccupied, Xiang Fu saw Xiang Jinlai, and beckoned him to sit over.

"Lao Lin, let's go arrange a meal. The housekeeper, who was called Lao Lin, nodded yes and went down to make arrangements.

"I told your eldest mother and second mother, and they have no objections, how did you talk about it?"

"Uncle Hu has settled down and will set off the day after tomorrow, it seems that we can't catch up", said Hu Xinghai's family at the moment.

"That's fine, let's do it as soon as possible, Ah Lai, you and I will act separately, you come to recover the arrears of the major wine shops, if you don't have time, forget about those small wine shops, and find a good shipping ship, and count and ship the materials at home"!

"Well, I'll take care of it!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiang Jin came out to ask for debts, in addition to delaying the work, but no one was embarrassed, one is because he has also walked multilaterally in the past two years, and they are also familiar with them, and the other is that the winemaking is now the end of the month, as the saying goes, "more wine, less wine!"

Yuemi country is rich in rice, and the shape resembles a crescent moon, hence the name. Rice wine is also a national characteristic, in the country, once a business is booming, it will be sought after by businessmen, the wine-making industry is like this, so it leads to an imbalance between supply and demand, and naturally can not let all businessmen eat, fortunately, everyone has been taking sea trade and border trade in recent years, and several other countries are slowly accepting, which has improved.

In four or five days, most of the arrears have been recovered, and some of them will be shelved first, and he has to arrange for the shipping vessels, so he can only find the merchant ships of the sea trade, and the cargo warehouses of the merchant ships are large, and it is enough to clear out a piece. On this day, he came to the wharf of Bay City, there was a trade market at the wharf, and after coming here, he quickly found the general shipping office with whom he had cooperated before, and it happened that a batch of goods would leave for Shenglan Country five days later, so he paid a deposit to settle the matter.

Seeing that it was still early, he went to the carriage shop to order a few carriages to load goods and transport them to the merchant ships, and the shopkeeper of the carriage shop also knew Xiang Jinlai, so he arranged for a few experienced coachmen. After my father had basically finished explaining everything, he was ready to return home to discuss the details with my father and check for omissions.

At this time, he had just passed by a money bank, which was the property of the Luoshan Sect, and it was also the largest money bank in the Yuemi country, depositing and withdrawing silver money, mortgage and lending, and had an excellent reputation, and his father had borrowed silver money from here in his early years. But now that he was being watched by a group of people, there was a sound of smashing things from inside, Xiang Jin Lai was very surprised, someone dared to offend the Luoshan Sect, and it was just and bright, thinking so in his heart.

"Are you Mingyue Sect going to declare war on the Luoshan Sect?" The one who spoke was the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang, and he was also a disciple of the outer sect of the Luoshan Sect, about forty years old, his real name was Si Luo, and he was also a cultivator, but mortals like Xiang Jinlai could not see the realm of cultivation.

"Si Luo, I came here today to mean that you know in your heart that as long as you Luoshan Sect does not do money business, and then transfer it to us, the past grievances will be written off!" The person who spoke was called Ouyang Zuoche, a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Bright Moon Sect of Qiguo.

The Bright Moon Sect was one of the five great sects in the world, but why was she so presumptuous in the territory of the Luoshan Sect? Even if Ji Mohan was not there, her three disciples were all masters of the Three Realms, and the eldest disciple Boya was a powerhouse of the Three Mirrors Great Perfection. It is not an exaggeration to say that half a foot has stepped into the original ancestral realm. I don't want to be so abnormal today, but I really want to do it, Xiang Jin Lai feels very incredible.

"It's ridiculous that you're saying this, you're here with so many monks, I'm afraid you're not here to talk, you're here to rob, and that's it, and so much nonsense!" Si Luo sarcastically said.

Ouyang Zuoche really drew his sword and opened the formation, and said in his mouth: "Please advise." ”

Si Luo didn't say a word, and also pulled out his sword, before they could fight, the surrounding forces quickly converged on the two of them, and the surrounding crowd hurriedly dodged, Xiang Jinlai was bitten by a snake once, and he avoided it in the morning, but his curiosity did not diminish at all, but he wanted to watch. Xiang Jin Lai had heard a lot of things about the monk's duel, and knew that if the Force was not controlled by the monk, if it was allowed to spread in all directions, a large number of people around him might die in an instant, so he dodged far away, and shrunk most of his body behind the stone wall.

At this moment, as soon as the blades of the two collided, a stone wall in front of them collapsed and shattered, which was caused by the condensation of the Force on the weapon, and the leakage of the Force during the fight.

"They are all monks of the Great Perfection of the Second Realm, so they are a bit of a sight to behold!"

An abrupt voice sounded behind him, Xiang Jin Lai was startled, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a girl as big as him holding an apple in her hand, but refused to eat it, gently touched her lips, as if she couldn't bear to bite it, Xiang Jin saw that her hair was coiled up at will, a little scattered, a beautiful melon seed face, her mouth was slightly bent when she spoke, and she looked at Xiang Jin with a smile, and she had two small dimples with a smile, slightly thin and tall, wearing a black dress and showing her slimness, standing with him, slightly shorter, among the women, she was tall, not much beautiful, although he was young, he had traveled north and south in recent years, and he still had some knowledge, but in terms of appearance, he was not very beautiful, compared with his maid Su Su!

"Am I good-looking?"

"Huh?" "Uh-huh"! I was so nervous that I was speechless.

"Come on, sit down and see, see clearly", looked at Jin Lai and didn't move, and continued: "I'll let you come over, a man, I'm afraid of a fart!"

Xiang Jin Lai was stunned, this is a girl? he walked over with a slander in his heart, he has been curious since he was a child, although this girl is very brave, he doesn't know it at all, or the ghost makes the god sit over, not to lose face in front of the woman, but purely aroused curiosity by her. What a strange woman, thought so in her heart.

"You have some insight than the group of onlookers, and you know that the Force is sometimes uncontrollable, but don't worry, there is a strong man in the crowd, he is here to suppress the formation, if there is a leak, with his cultivation, he can be cracked in an instant!"

"Three Realms?" Xiang Jin Lai exclaimed, not that he was making a fuss, the Three Realms in the world were rare, and everywhere they were treated as national scholars, how could mortals see them?

"Well, it's the master of the Mingyue Sect, and it's for Qian Zhuang, it seems that Qian Zhuang is going to be unlucky today!"

As they spoke, Si Luo and Ouyang Zuoche had already made a hundred moves, and each time they attached the Force to their swords, feet, or fists, which was extremely dangerous, and both of them used the Force perfectly, and their skills were equal. But Mingyue Sect came to more than a dozen monks this time, and the cultivation was not equal, but Qian Zhuang's side was not good, except for Si Luo, the other people's cultivation was obviously very weak, and after a while, except for him, all those present were subdued and not killed, obviously having some scruples, but seeing these Mingyue Sect people surrounding him with unkind expressions, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and Ouyang Zuoche seized an opportunity to condense the force on one finger, just when the two swords collided, a finger pointed out, immediately penetrated Si Luo's right chest, and immediately blood shot out, it seemed serious, but it was not fatal, obviously the other party left his hand, he covered his chest and gasped, he couldn't fight anymore, he needed to heal quickly, otherwise his life was in danger。 Beckoning to the people in Qian Zhuang, his subordinates understood, and they forcibly broke free from the blades of the monks of the Bright Moon Sect in front of them, as if they did not dare to kill them. A few people with milder injuries supported Si Luo, and they left decisively, and everyone in the Mingyue Sect was a little stunned.

"A few of you will take away the silver, gold, and valuables, and the others will remain to guard them. Ouyang Zuoche commanded, he still had another task, and left after a simple order. At this moment, a middle-aged-looking person in the crowd glanced back at them, and then slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Here Xiang Jin Lai They also saw the glance just now, although it was just a look, which made Xiang Jin tremble.

"Don't be nervous, he won't bully a kid like you, the Great Monk wants to be face-saving. ”

"Oh, uh-huh!" Xiang Jinlai tried to calm down.

"What's your name?" was asked to Jinlai, and the question was so abrupt, but so natural, as if the two of them knew each other very well.

"The curtain is small!" the girl grinned and didn't care at all.

"Little?" Xiang Jin continued to repeat softly, his eyes strange.

"Yes, the size is small, what about you?"

"Come to Jin!" he scolded the girl's name, so casually, a bit like a little vole, one called "Chubby" and the other called "Niu Niu".

"The gold, the one who comes?"

"yes!"

"Let's two half a pound and eight taels, don't make fun of me!"

"No, no, you have a nice name"!

"I'm not blind!"

"It's really good!" he immediately bowed his head to Jin Lai, as he felt his face burn.

"Hey, you're blushing!" she patted him on the shoulder, indicating that she didn't care.

Xiang Jinlai: ......

"Come on!"

"Huh?" Xiang Jin was made to laugh and cry by this title.

"You see that the two of us are quite fateful, then, is it inconvenient for Fang to borrow some money?"

"Huh?" this time I was surprised, there had never been a girl who had ever asked him to borrow money, and he was just acquaintance.

"No, forget it, little brother, I see that you are a good person, we have a meeting, I advise you not to be so curious, just now, in fact, there is a line between life and death, in case that great monk does not want to be embarrassed, won't you be finished? In front of him, you are like an ant, and if you want to trample to death, you have to lift your feet. ”

"Thank you, girl, for your advice. ”

"It's so outward, call me Tiny!"

"Okay, you just said you wanted to borrow money?"

"Yes, yes, I'm from out of town, and the money is gone!"

Xiang Jinlai thought she was going to find a better excuse, but she didn't expect it to be so direct.

"How much do you need?"

"Fifty taels?"

"Fifty taels?" Xiang Jinlai really has a few thousand taels on him, which is the arrears recovered, but fifty taels is not a small amount for a small household, and a restaurant guy is only ten taels a year.

"I want to buy a batch of horses, go back to the Shenglan country, or take a boat back, I don't go back to dozens of times, the main thing is that I have to buy some rouge, rice wine, yes, and sauce beef, I want to eat it on the way!"

Xiang Jinlai was speechless for a while, he really didn't expect that there was such a person, if he cheated to eat and drink, he didn't believe it, he had seen people he knew well, but he had never seen such a right-deserved, straightforward and untwisted borrowing money, penniless and still buying rouge gouache, is this the princess who escaped?

"Okay?" a pair of cute dimples resurfaced!

"Okay!" Xiang Jin didn't know why he agreed!

"Okay brother, come to the Shenglan Kingdom to find me in the future, I am in the Imperial City Division, and report my name when I arrive, so that I can make it!"

Xiang Jinlai: ......

"Gone brother, I want to rush back, my brother is going to get married again, he can't go back, his careful eyes hate me for the rest of his life, we have long mountains and rivers, see you in the future!"

Xiang Jinlai looked at this back blankly, for some reason, he was a little lost.
