Chapter Eighty-Five: The Profiteers and the Crazy People
Wang Chaolu knew that he couldn't talk about his younger brother, so he snorted, snatched the bag of clothes, and left angrily. Ping An scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in his heart that my sister is so kind, what can I do in the future, I will suffer if I continue like this.
The two walked for a few minutes, and Ping An saw his sister walking towards the North District, secretly scolded himself for being confused, and hurriedly stopped Chaolu, telling her that the house had been sold and the new house had been bought.
After hearing this, Wang Chaolu angrily pinched Ping'an's ears and scolded: "Yang Ping'an, do you still take me as your sister?
Ping An begged for mercy with a "painful" face: "Sister, you light, you are about to screw my ears off." Wang Chaolu looked at Ping'an's fake expression, snorted, let go of his hand, and looked at him with a threatening expression.
Ping An raised his hand and surrendered, and walked towards his sister to his new home, the two sisters and brothers walked across the main street towards the southern district, as soon as they entered the southern district, Wang Chaolu felt different, there was a lot less hustle and bustle, more quiet, a lot less pedestrians, and a lot more officials.
In Wang Chaolu's concept, the deterrent power of the officials is still very great, and she feels that as long as there are officials who patrol here frequently, the security here is definitely not bad.
When Ping An took her to her new home, Chaolu fell in love with it at first sight, the area here was much larger than the previous home, not only three guest rooms, but also a living room, and a separate courtyard at the back. If you want to cultivate quietly, going to a small courtyard is a good choice.
When Chaolu saw the woman who was busy before and after, she looked at Ping An in confusion and asked, "Brother, who is this?"
Ping An smiled and replied: "This is my newly recruited maid, Sister-in-law Zhang, she will help us cook and clean up in the future, so that you will have more time to practice and study." ”
Wang Chaolu nodded after hearing this, it was rare that there was no education peace, she knew that even if she told Ping An, Ping An would not change her mind, and besides, she also wanted to have more time to cultivate well, so that her realm could be improved quickly, and she could better integrate into it after going to the academy.
Li Shenfeng was taking medicine in the room at this time, and when Ping An went out just now, he bought him some good healing medicine, which could make Li Shenfeng recover faster.
After finishing all this, Ping An stayed at home for two days, took his sister to familiarize himself with the environment in the South District, and came down in a circle, not to mention Wang Chaolu, even Ping An was very satisfied here.
Early in the morning of the third day, Ping An left his house and walked out of the city, who knew that before he left the city, Ping An saw a huge procession of hundreds of people walking towards the outside of the city.
Pingxin said, Could it be that there have been any activities in Cloud Gathering City recently? Why haven't I heard about it? Curious, he came to the back of the team and followed the team out of the city.
Several big men in coarse linen clothes in front of Ping An were talking about something in a low voice, and when they saw Ping An approaching in silk and satin, they subconsciously stopped talking, and slightly made way for Ping An to make way for him.
Ping An was slightly stunned when he saw this, and when he saw the clothes he was wearing, he smiled bitterly, walked forward quickly past a few people, and came to the outside of the city, found a place where no one was, changed the clothes on his body into coarse linen clothes, and went back again, which was fine.
Ping'an, who was in the middle of the team, listened to the content of the discussions of the previous people, and was shocked, and said that the worst situation he expected had appeared, and he hurriedly came out to purchase medicinal materials this time, just because he was afraid that such a situation would occur, and now it seems that something has indeed happened.
These people who went out of the city all went to Yanyu City in order to go there to purchase medicinal herbs.
After the merchants on the side of Juyun City learned that the caravan had been robbed, they adjusted the purchase price one after another, and for a while, the news of the Barter Pavilion's high-priced purchase of medicinal materials spread throughout the city, and even if ordinary people heard it, they would treat it as a talking point, after all, they had no way.
I don't know who spread the news that there are cheap medicinal materials in Yanyu City.
For a while, the people in Juyun City were crazy, and they mobilized their relatives to go to Yanyu City with them to purchase medicinal materials, and even many merchants in the city resigned and resigned, asked for leave, and joined the ranks of purchasing medicinal materials together, and everyone wanted to make a lot of money.
The wave that Ping'an followed was considered to be relatively late, and some people pushed the cart as soon as the city gate was opened, and drove the carriage to Yanyu City.
After hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Ping'an's face, and he knew in his heart that these methods must have been made by those medicinal herb merchants, and they mobilized these people to go to Yanyu City to buy medicinal materials.
In this way, there is no more, there are two or three times, and there will be more and more medicinal materials in Juyun City, and there is no need to worry about the situation that there are not enough medicinal materials.
When the first batch of people came back, they lowered the price little by little according to the amount of inventory, so that in the end, when they came back late, they might not make any money, and they would make a lot of money.
Ping An secretly admired the minds of these merchants in his heart, they were not considered a conspiracy, they should be regarded as a conspiracy, even if someone knew their purpose, but in the face of this sea-like gathering clouds, nothing could be changed at all, coupled with the mighty march of the crowd, it would definitely alarm the surrounding people, and more people would join the ranks of buying medicinal materials at that time.
Once the large army arrives in Yanyu City, the price of medicinal materials there will definitely rise, and Ping An thought of this, so he had no choice but to rush frantically, hoping to run two back and forth before the large army arrived.
He knew that once the large army arrived, the deal would be done, and there should be no possibility of doing it in a short time.
Fortunately, the people of Juyun are all walking on the official road, and the speed of travel is very slow, and only a small number of people are walking on the mountain road like him.
Ping An looked at the map from time to time, and the way they looked around knew that they didn't know the way to Yanyu City.
A sense of urgency struck, Ping An gave up his cultivation time and walked along the mountain road, but he didn't expect that he had just run for half a day before he was stopped by the three black-clothed men who were coming on.
Ping An looked at the other party holding a mountain knife in his hand and covering his face with a black scarf, he knew that the other party was not a good person, and without waiting for the other party to speak, Ping An followed and advanced, and came to the other party, before the three of them could react, the red light flashed in his hand, and bloodlust appeared in his hand, and then a sweep, and three heads fell to the ground.
He retracted the bloodthirsty and urged the cohesion disk, and after a minute, he disappeared peacefully, leaving only three dried corpses in place.
Ping'an Xin said that he dared to come out to rob the road with this bit of strength, I really don't know what these three people think, feeling the power of the cohesion plate, and sighed secretly It's a pity, these three middle-level wrestlers only provided themselves with such a little bit of strength in the early stage, and just let him be promoted to the peak of the middle-level wrestlers, and he is still a little bit closer to advancement.
Ping An looked at the mountain road in the distance, and gradually looked forward to it in his heart, God had mercy, he didn't let him wait long, and met a group of robbers again, but the quality of this group of robbers was much stronger than the previous wave, a high-level wrestler with two middle-level wrestlers.
The three of them looked at Ping An with anger all over their bodies, "Boy, hand over the money bag, Lao Tzu will spare your life." ”
Ping An looked at the three of them with a solemn expression, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu believes that you are a fool, and the evil spirit on these three people is so heavy, only if they have killed people recently, and there are still many people killed, can they achieve this.
It seemed that many of these people who walked the mountain road to Yanyu City died here, and Ping An knew that these three people were by no means comparable to the likes of the wolves, so when they said the words of handing over the money bag, Ping An took a few steps forward and reached into his arms, wanting to test them.
The three of them watched Ping'an's movements, took two steps back vigilantly, drew their swords at their waists, and warned, "If you take a step forward, I'll make a move later." ”
Ping Ji looked pitiful, took out a deflated money bag from his arms and threw it to the other party, the high-level wrestler on the opposite side saw this, frowned and scolded a poor ghost, picked up the money bag with a sword and threw it to the subordinates around him, the subordinates saw this and quickly received it in their hands, after opening the money bag, they looked at Ping An and scolded: "You still want to go to Yanyu City with this little money on you, I think you are also stupid." ”
Ping An looked at the three robbers embarrassedly, "I only have so much, this time I wanted to go to Yanyu City to make a big profit, but I didn't expect to meet three heroes here, not only is the money gone, but I can't go to Yanyu City." ”
The leader of the robbers looked at Ping An speechlessly, and said in his heart that this kid's head was funny enough, and he said that he would not kill if he paid the money, didn't he have a little doubt?
