Wucheng, another economically prosperous city in the southern kite country, here is famous for the production of black stone, black stone, is a kind of raw material for the production of high-quality weapons, weapons made of black stone, several times sharper than ordinary weapons, and not easy to rust and corrode, so black stone has always been the raw material that the four countries want to compete for, however, the output is low, the actual output is far from meeting the actual production demand, Tang Ning and Ximen Yichen appeared in this season, just in time for me to catch up with the annual black stone trading conference, Too many people in the four countries want to get this batch of rough stones, and it is not enough to have elite soldiers in their hands without strong weapons, and July every year is the most lively season in Wucheng.

Ximen Yichen went directly to the Tianlong Kingdom placed in Wucheng's courtyard, which is equivalent to the office in the modern sense, their main task here is to purchase the rough stone and then be responsible for organizing relevant personnel to refine it locally, and transport the refined stone back to the country by the local military aircraft department responsible for unified processing and casting, and then uniformly distribute it to each army and battalion.

Outside the courtyard, when the two sturdy guards saw Ximen Yichen and Tang Ning, they immediately looked vigilant, and scolded in an extremely impolite tone: "What are you, what are you doing, is this where you are standing?" ”

Saying that, one of them raised the long stick in his hand and waved it towards Ximen Yichen's injured leg, although the official in charge of garrisoning Wucheng is not big, but because the emperor is far away, there is no one to supervise what he usually does here, and he will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, and over time, this military stone envoy will become more and more unscrupulous, and he is looking for flowers and willows everywhere on weekdays, but now is the best time for Wushi to procure, looking at this situation, this adult does not seem to have set off yet, "Our adults said, we don't see guests today, Where did you come from, and where do you go back! ”

"How daring, do you know who is standing in front of you?" Tang Ning scolded, if she wasn't in a hurry to save Tang Hao, she really didn't bother to talk to this group of people here, these two nerds, didn't they see that Ximen Yichen's face was already extremely difficult to see, and he was almost about to kill? The procurement of military stones is very important to a country's army, but this group of people is derelict in their duties and does not do things properly.

"Who?" The two of them completely disdained Tang Ning's momentum, but when they saw Tang Ning's token slowly escaping from his arms, their faces suddenly turned pale, their legs were weak in fright, and they kept rubbing their eyes as if they were afraid that their eyes were wrong, "Leave, leave, leave the king!" ”

One person had already run into the house quickly to inform their adults, and the other person bowed his head and beckoned Ximen Yichen and Tang Ning to enter, Tang Ning snorted coldly, and the frightened person suddenly broke his guts, and he almost peed his pants, this man and woman were really terrifying to the extreme, Ximen Yichen and Tang Ning had just walked to the courtyard, and a fat and round middle-aged official rushed out of the house with his hat while lifting his pants, his eyes touched Ximen Yichen, and he completely collapsed with a fluke mentality, "Leave ...... Away from the king! ”

"Now, what time is it?" Ximen Yichen asked in a gloomy voice with a serious face, Qin An knelt in front of Ximen Yichen with a pop of his legs, "Leave...... Leave the king, spare your life! ”

"The court sent you here, do you know what's going on?" Ximen Yichen's voice sounded like the cold wind wrapped in ice in the moon, without a trace of temperature, although Qin An had been stationed in Wucheng for many years, but he was familiar with the name of Ximen Yichen, the god of war, and now that he saw Ximen Yichen himself, this terrifying momentum was thousands of times more powerful than imagined, and the king had always held the power of the Heavenly Dragon, as a general, he was naturally proud of winning the battle, but how to fight this victory? If you don't even have decent weapons, how can you win?

In the battle of Yanyang City, Ximen Yichen already had a personal experience, a batch of well-made weapons can definitely be used to block ten, equipment, he needs equipment now, his dark eyes rendered the storm, that look was almost about to unload Qin An alive, Qin An was frightened to lose all his blood and looked at Ximen Yichen with fear, and then cried: "Liwang, it's not that I don't want to go, but, but this year, this year, this year's silver taels used to buy military stones, so far the court has not allocated it, there is no silver taels, I can't even afford the entry fee of one or two thousand! ”

The military stone procurement conference is only to receive big customers, such as the royal family of the four countries, such as several major arms manufacturers in the four countries, and there are only a dozen or so qualified to enter the country, because they all know the importance of military stones to these countries, even if they can't use it at present, but grabbing it is equivalent to seizing other people's resources, in this strange relationship between the four countries, especially the cloud country that has frequent accidents during this time, Tianlong and the Northern Qi country, the relationship between the three countries is tense and delicate, The southern kite country, which is good at business, knows how to skillfully use such a relationship to make a lot of money for the country, because the annual quarrying conference, that is the highest bidder, just the entrance fee for bidding, there are as many as 1,000 taels, just this admission fee, has made many prohibitive.

At this time, Qin An represents the Tianlong Kingdom, and the imperial court will escort 10,000 taels of gold and silver here a month in advance, and hand it over to him to participate in the stone competition on the same day, but this year, the silver taels of the imperial court have not been in place for a long time, and Qin An has also issued many documents urging the imperial court, but there is still no movement at all, seeing that the deadline for registration has passed, he can only sleep at home!

The silver for the purchase of military stones has not yet arrived? Ximen Yichen's thick sword eyebrows frowned deeply, the silver was not in place, Qin An couldn't do anything if he stayed here, for the Southern Kite Kingdom, no silver would not care about any face at all, they were just doing business, this was what they told the world from the beginning, what they were afraid of at that time was that this rich resource could not only not bring wealth to the country, but would bring disaster, the South Kite Country was only a small country, and the national strength was naturally not as good as the other three countries, although the country was not big, but the military stone was in a resource, so that they were regarded as allies by the three countries, If one country moves, the other two countries will inevitably react, which can be regarded as a kind of containment!

"How many people are there here?" Ximen Yichen suddenly changed the topic, Qin An hurriedly told Ximen Yichen about what he knew, Tang Hao still needs someone to save him, and this is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two, at the moment, this military stone procurement conference is already imminent, Tang Ning and Ximen Yichen immediately decided to divide the two soldiers into two ways, and Qin An rushed to the quarrying conference with one or two thousand silver tickets, Qin An had no silver on him, so he was naturally a little nervous, but fortunately, at the quarrying conference, he was just asking for a price, The actual contract signing and payment are still a few days away, counting the time, just enough to wait for Ximen Yichen and Tang Ning to return.

Without further ado, at noon that day, Ximen Yichen began to assemble people, among them, Tang Ning deliberately went to the surrounding vegetable markets to take a turn, and asked a lot of fishermen who live here all year round by fishing and selling fish, they all shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of the name of this ghost island, and there was no leader, in this vast sea, where should they go? If this problem is not solved, they have no way to save Tang Hao, although they are very worried about Tang Hao's safety, but Tang Ning can't joke about the lives of the people who accompany him, at night, she told Ximen Yichen that she should not go to Ghost Island for the time being, Ximen Yichen pondered for a moment, and then nodded, and on the second day, Qin An came with news that the bidding would officially start in the afternoon, and Ximen Yichen was ready, but when he sent someone to call Tang Ning, Tang Ning covered his stomach with a pale face.

"What? Stomach ache? Does it matter? Ximen Yichen stood up nervously, and the little maid in charge of the conversation was also hesitant to speak with a red face, Ximen Yichen rushed directly to Tang Ning's room, pushed open the door and flew directly to the bedside, "How can a good person have a stomachache?" Could it be that Gu poison has flare up again? Didn't Lin Lao's medicine say that it could be temporarily controlled? How so? How so? ”

Seeing his anxious and helpless appearance, Tang Ning's frowning brows loosened and grinned, "No, no, yes, it's that pain!" ”

"That hurts? Which one is that? Ximen Yichen looked at Tang Ning puzzled, not understanding what Tang Ning was referring to, Tang Ning had no choice but to lower his voice and say embarrassedly, "The moon is coming, my stomach hurts!" ”

With such an explanation, Ximen Yichen understood, the resolute outline was a little shy and embarrassed, Tang Ning had unbearable abdominal pain because of the menstrual incident, so he naturally couldn't go, "Lie down on the bed with stomach pain, don't go anywhere, you know?" Such a gentle and watery voice came from the mouth of a man like Ximen Yichen, which really made the maid standing outside the door wonder if her ears had heard it wrong, Ximen Yichen held Tang Ning's cheek and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Take good care of her, what's wrong, only you ask!" When Ximen Yichen went out to talk to the maid, his face returned to being as cold as ice, and his voice could almost drip out of the slightest tenderness just now.

Sure enough, I heard it wrong, the little maid said to herself in her heart, after Ximen Yichen turned to leave, Tang Ning's facial expression, which was still rubbed together because of pain, suddenly returned to normal, and her clear eyes kept watching the back of Ximen Yichen leaving, until the shadow gradually shrank into a small black dot in her eyes, and a faint mist stained Tang Ning's eyes, she said softly in her heart, "I'm sorry!" ”

In the afternoon, the sun was just right, the little maid sat in front of the door and couldn't help but take a nap, a neat figure, unconsciously crossed her, Tang Ning, who was carrying a small bag, went straight to the dock, jumped on a small boat, and went directly to the east......
