Chapter 681: It Out
This is already Dongfang Shuo's long journey I don't know how many times.
Once again, he returned to the southern border of the Longlin Empire, a place called Kuidou County City.
And the moment he set foot in the city of Kuidou, he suddenly stopped.
Looking at this lost prosperity and liveliness, Dongfang Shuo's mind quickly passed countless memories, starting from this half a year and extending to even longer.
It was two and a half years ago.
On the third day of his coming to this world, he stood in front of that window, and the moment it all began......
"Get out of the way, bastard. ”
Suddenly, a big man pushed him away.
Then, a few horses passed by him.
Each horse was carrying some goods to a greater or lesser extent, and it seemed that these guys were a group of traveling merchants.
However, they don't have coats of arms on them, and they don't seem to belong to any chamber of commerce, so they must be just small forces that don't even have a foothold.
Dongfang Shuo suddenly followed.
"I want to do a business with you, please help me deliver goods to a place, as for the reward," Dongfang Shuo paused and stretched out his finger, "This number." ”
The strong man looked at Dongfang Shuo.
Then, he looked straight at Dongfang Shuo's outstretched fingers, and said with half mockery: "Looking at you like this, you know that you haven't seen anything in the world, and you want to send a few brothers with three hundred gold coins? What are you kidding, don't waste our time." ”
After speaking, he pushed Dongfang Shuo away, intending to continue walking.
But Dongfang Shuo didn't give up, and stopped in front of him again, still stretching out those three fingers.
"What? Could it be that you are talking about three hundred spirit crystals?" the strong man pinched his chin and looked at Dongfang Shuo again, "Can you take it?"
"Thirty thousand spirit crystals," Dongfang Shuo said, "I want you to help me go to the Guihai Empire to deliver goods." ”
"Three ......?"
The strong man was clearly stunned.
After a moment's pause, he immediately frowned.
"You kid, you should have a degree of joking, you dare to fool us?"
The strong man said viciously.
30,000 spirit crystals are equivalent to 3 million gold coins.
He had been in business for almost six years, but he had never seen such a large amount.
So when Dongfang Shuo quoted this price, he was naturally taken aback, and he wouldn't believe it easily.
"I can give the money first. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
As soon as the words fell, before the strong man could react, Dongfang Shuo already had an extra ring in his hand, and he threw it to the strong man in front of him.
The strong man subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and after glancing at the ring in a daze, he immediately carefully spied the contents of the ring.
After a breath, the strong man's expression froze, and his whole body remained motionless as if it was frozen in ice.
"Gan, what kind of demon did you kid do to our eldest brother!"
Seeing this, the little brother on the side immediately rushed forward and grabbed Dongfang Shuo's collar.
But immediately after, before Dongfang Shuo could speak, the strong man's punch hit the little brother's face, and he directly hit him with a few laps and fell to the ground.
"Before I came to Kuidou County, I heard that there was an upstart in Kuidou County in the past six months, and he started from scratch at a young age, and finally had a lot of money. Speaking of this, the strong man immediately became respectful, "Presumably, Your Excellency is the master of the Dongfang Gate, Lord Dongfang, right?"
Dongfang Shuo smiled.
"It's good that you can see it, I introduced myself. Dongfang Shuo said, "Then 30,000 spirit crystals, send a trip, can you go?"
"As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger, and now this is the opposite, the business of 30,000 spirit crystals, I'm afraid it's not simple, right?"
The strong man seems to be quite shrewd.
But Dongfang Shuo was smiling, nodded and said: "You are right, after all, you are going to the Guihai Empire, and now the border between the two countries is very complicated, you should understand." So this trip, I want you to help me find a way, as for whether the goods are delivered or not, I don't care. ”
"Your Excellency is going to ......," the strong man asked, "is it to develop trade routes outside the empire?"
"Well, sort of. ”
Dongfang Shuo lost his hand.
"Yes, yes!" the strong man nodded hurriedly, "We agreed!"
"Okay, then in an hour, come to my Dongfang Gate to pick up the goods. ”
After speaking, Dongfang Shuo left without looking back.
And after he left, the little brother who was knocked to the ground had also been helped up by others.
"Big brother, are we really going to go? That's going to break through, and if you don't make trouble, you will die!"
"Yes, big brother, although 30,000 spirit crystals is indeed a sky-high price, but if your life is gone, what is the use of this money?"
At this time, the younger brothers were worried.
The strong man glanced at them and said coldly: "That's a trade route, and it's also a trade route valued by that Dongfang Lord, its value must be self-evident! You guys can only see the reward of these 30,000 spirit crystals, but you can't see the value of the 300,000 or even 3 million spirit crystals hidden behind it!"
"Big brother, what you said is true?"
"When did I lie to you?" the strong man put away his ring, "we are merchants, and merchants should have such a sense of smell." ”
"Then let's quickly pack up this batch of goods, and then ......"
A little brother hurriedly said.
But before he finished speaking, he was smashed by the strong man.
"You idiot, do you care about this batch of goods at this time?" the strong man said angrily, "If we hadn't taken the order for half a month, who would have pulled this poor sour goods?
......
"Got it all figured out?"
Dongfang Shuo put down the teacup.
Downstairs, one of his deputies nodded, and said: "Among them are basically ruffians and hooligans, and there are two who have been in prison, and they started by reselling black stones six and a half years ago, and then they have traveled back and forth in several counties in the Longlin Empire, although they have not committed any more crimes, but many of their businesses are also disgraceful." After the fighting subsided a year ago, they also made a fortune from the war. ”
"yes, I see. ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded thoughtfully.
"So what do they do next?"
The deputy asked.
Dongfang Shuo thought for a while and said, "Hewidow City, send them there to deliver a batch of goods." ”
"And the widow?"
The deputy was puzzled, "Do you really want them to go to the Sea Empire?"
"Naturally. ”
"The idea of the lord of Nafu is also ...... As rumored on the street, you want to open up a trade road between the two?"
"Hahaha. ”
"What is the mansion master laughing at?"
"How can I make things public in broad daylight? The public thinks they have seen through the minds of businessmen, and that is the public's business, but you have listened to the public's self-righteousness, so am I stupid or are you stupid?"
"That'...... What does the lord of the house mean?"
"Give them the goods," Dongfang Shuo said, "and then send a few people to ensure that they cross the border safely, and after that," he paused, leaned back, and closed his eyes, "find a secluded place in the Guihai Empire and kill them." ”
