Zhu Gangguan, a щww who was misunderstood by many people in his previous life because of a novel. lā

Up to now, although Zhanbai still doesn't know why the characters who appear clearly in this world coincidentally appear in the form of various myths, legends or novels in his previous life, but there is one thing he can be sure of, that is, there is no easy person who can appear in various myths and novels in his previous life.

The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Taishang Bodhi and other high-ranking people will not talk about it for the time being, just say that Zhanbai has seen Xingtian, and its combat power is terrifying and terrifying. Xingtian is like this, so what about Sun Wukong, who has not met but has long heard of his name?

Although he has never seen Sun Wukong, his ability Zhan Bai also knows something more or less from the mouths of Yin'er and later Zhan Yibai, and he is definitely not weaker than Xingtian. So as Sun Wukong's second junior brother, how much worse can Zhu Gangguan be?

Therefore, with Zhu Gangguan here, Zhanbai is not worried about the safety of the mansion.

As for Yan Xiu'er's disappearance......

Zhan Bai shook his head helplessly, no matter what the conspiracy of that Taoist priest is, one day in the future, there will be traces of the future, and it is useless to speculate here at this time.

……

"Let's not talk about this matter, you tell Yi Yi to let Yingcheng strengthen its vigilance, and that's the only way it is for now." After making a decision, Zhan Bai explained to Xiao Na.

……

Qi and Qin have been at war for many years, and there are more than one million soldiers on the border, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is five steps, one sentry, three steps and one post. Ordinary people, if they want to cross the border, the most likely thing is to be shot into a porcupine by a crossbow.

Zhanbai and the two wandered around the border for two days, but they were still not allowed to enter.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and at this moment, the two of them and a small village on the border for travelers to rest, encountered a caravan of considerable size.

To say that the scale is not small, does not refer to the goods, on the contrary, the entire caravan carried five carts of goods, but there were nearly 100 guards.

You don't have to think about it to know that this must be a smuggling business trip from the Qin State.

In any case, smuggling, especially against the Qin State, is a major crime in the Qi State on the surface. So, even with a tough backstage, the smuggling caravans are tightly controlled in size.

Smuggling in small quantities, for the Qin State, was only a temporary urgent need, and it was difficult to change its dilemma of lack of materials, and at the same time it was possible to sell the goods at a better price, which shows the hatefulness of these merchants.

Of course, while smuggling brings high profits, it also carries great risks. Let's not talk about the Qi country's side, even if you have a tough backer, you have to open up all kinds of joints, even if you enter the Qin country, the situation will only be more dangerous.

The court of the Qin State undoubtedly acquiesced in this kind of smuggling, but the people did not.

The silk is moving, and the Qin people are fierce, and a large number of people have set their eyes on these business travelers. Raids on caravans were not uncommon, which explains why this caravan hired so many guards.

Because Zhanbai and the two of them happened to stay in the same inn as this caravan, Xiao Na took advantage of her own advantages and soon had a comprehensive understanding of this caravan.

Fengchang is the name of the merchant behind this caravan, and behind it is a member of the court of Qi State, which is quite famous among the many smuggling merchants. Mainly through smuggling, the Qi State peddled some salt and iron things, and then brought back the fur that was quite sought after by the nobles of the Qin State.

"Big brother, the name of the shopkeeper of this caravan is Tian Ziling, I don't know my actual age, and I look like a half-old man in his fifties. It is said that this Tian Ziling is a side branch of the wealthy family of the Tian family in Qi, and he let him do business because of his low talent. I have been doing this kind of business for decades, and I have accumulated a lot of belongings. Xiao Na was in Zhanbai's bedroom, telling the news she had heard.

"In this way, the backer behind this caravan is the Tian family?" Zhan Bai touched his beardless chin.

The Spring and Autumn Continent is not so much the world of the Eight Kingdoms as the world of the gate valves, no matter which country it is, the royal family and the various gate valves together form a high ruling class.

Although the Tian family is not the number one wealthy family in Qi country, it is definitely among the top three.

"Well, these smuggling merchants must have a secret channel into the Qin State, and if we want to enter the Qin State, we have to rely on them. In this way, you go to negotiate with Tian Ziling, as long as his conditions are not excessive, you can dispose of it. This is already one of the few ways that Zhanbai can think of.

"Big brother, I'm afraid this road won't work." Xiao Na did not leave, but shook her head at Zhan Bai.

"You've already talked to him?" Zhan Bai was stunned.

Xiao Na nodded, "We talked about it, but before I could say our request, it was refused, and judging from Tian Ziling's tone, there seemed to be no room for turning around." ”

"Why is that?" Although Zhanbai is intelligent, he is not omnipotent.

Although the Sword Pavilion also has its own industry, Zhanbai has almost never intervened, and the biggest reason for this is that he is not very proficient in business.

"Actually, this is also the way it should be, if it were me, I wouldn't agree." Seeing Zhanbai's reaction, Xiao Na knew that she had to give a reasonable explanation, "Let's talk about this smuggling first, the most important and confidential thing is the passage, which is almost the source of a caravan's wealth. In order to open up this path, I don't know how much money and energy was spent in advance. Business is so important that it is absolutely unwilling to be known to outsiders. ”

Zhanbai nodded, although he was not good at management, he still understood the truth.

"Of course, there is another one, which is safety." Xiaona continued.

"Safety? Could it be that Tian Ziling treats us as robbers? Zhan Bai couldn't laugh or cry.

Who knew that Xiao Na nodded very solemnly, "When you go out, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful." In addition, the Qin people are fierce, and they have encountered many situations like ours in the past. In the name of entering the Qin State with the help of them, in fact, it is stepping on the point, and once entering the territory of the Qin State, it will soon be ambushed by a large number of robbers. ”

I really didn't expect that just this little smuggling would have such a big knowledge in it.

Hearing this, Zhan Bai couldn't help but fall silent.

"We've been on this border for two days now, and we can't wait any longer. Since the soft ones can't work, then the hard ones can only come. Finally, Zhanbai's eyes suddenly emitted a cold light.

"Is there a way to control that Tian Ziling?" Zhan Bai asked.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy. Although Tian Ziling's cultivation is not high, he is an old fox and attaches great importance to his own safety. Almost half of the 100 guards hired this time were inseparable from him. It's not easy to control him quietly, unless...... Unless there is a way to get rid of those guards, but in this way, we will lose nearly half of the guards, and we are afraid that as soon as we enter the Qin State, we will encounter a lot of robbers, and the trouble will only be greater at that time. Xiao Na responded.

"Well, you go again and arrange for me to meet with that Tian Ziling." Encountering such a situation, Zhanbai knew that he had to go out in person.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Xiao Na's ability to do things, but Zhanbai is too confident in himself. He really didn't believe that the shopkeeper of a business trip couldn't control it by his own means.

"Yes."
