From time to time on both sides, the bone marrow of white flowers suddenly appeared, with red rattan entwined on it, and a few strange words engraved with black oil paint.

The girl stretched out her little hand and pointed at them. "My lord, these bones are from the people who were killed, and they use them as signposts."

Liu Yichen looked into the distance, and the monkey's head mountain was looming in the clouds. "It's a pity that Wangshan ran away with a dead horse, I don't know how long there is still to go."

The wind whistled, and an arrow flew in the distance, knocking down one of his followers. From the steep rocks on both sides, several figures appeared.

The man at the head was the one-eyed man from before, with a hideous fat twist on his face, and he smirked. "Big brother, it's not good for you to break the rules."

The attendants beside Liu Yichen's carriage were holding bows and crossbows, their eyes alert. The people on both sides confronted each other tensely, and the long shadows dragged aside.

Song Zhiyao took the girl into her arms. Jumped into the carriage and closed the curtain tightly. There were more people around, about a hundred.

Liu Yichen stared at the one-eyed man and laughed loudly. "Brother, we are reasonable people, and we just want to make more money, so we take this path."

The one-eyed man scolded. "Dog thing, robbed the uncle's salt road, looking for death!" Just as he was about to swing his knife and rush forward, there was a whoosh, and blood spurted from his neck.

Before he could react, his Adam's apple grunted, and he fell heavily to the ground, swallowing his breath. Hou Qu, Xiong Li and the two jumped up.

"You are a bold thief, and you will not surrender!" That heroic expression shocked those minions. They fell to their knees, their heads banging.

Liu Yichen looked at them and shouted majestically. "From now on, you will follow me!" They all walked towards the back of the line.

After a while, when we reached the town, the night was already dark. In the center of the town, surrounded by many people, they whispered to each other and whispered something.

Liu Yichen also walked into them curiously, but those people waved their hands in disgust, frowned, and didn't say a word, letting them leave.

He looked back, and those minions were already scattered. The load of salt grains of white flowers, piled high, glittered in the cold moonlight.

Just when Liu Yichen was stunned, the Scarface man walked over slowly. A flattering smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Oops, bro."

Liu Yichen turned his head and said with a smile. "That one-eyed dragon has never been righteous, and you robbed him of his salt road, which can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven."

Looking at this man, there seemed to be no hostility. Liu Yichen looked into the distance, a towering building, with a long banner hanging.

Liu Yichen replied with a smile. "Brother, you and I are destined, please advise." They looked around cautiously and walked into the teahouse.

Song Zhiyao hugged the girl, and the two of them walked down slowly. "Girl, I'm so sorry for the trouble, thank you very much."

The girl smiled helplessly. "I'll just say, it turns out that you guys are just dog-eat-dog, and you're actually doing this kind of harmful thing."

Song Zhiyao didn't say anything, but felt that this girl's life experience must be complicated. She didn't say anything, and the girl quietly left.

In this tea house, there is a gloomy lobby with a foul smell on the side. The men, pointing to the salt bags next to them, negotiated the price.

They sat down at a long table. Liu Yichen took out a handful of loose silver, and the shopkeeper took away the silver and served fragrant tea.

As soon as Scarface sat down, he spoke loudly. "This place, half of the world's white salt, depends on here, it is really a good place to make a fortune."

Liu Yichen then asked. "If you have 500,000 taels of silver, how much should you buy?" Scarface listened to him and opened his mouth wide in amazement.

Stunned for a moment, Scarface replied. "The guest officer is arrogant, that's it, he can buy five big ships and go overseas, and he will double the profit."

Song Zhiyao said on the side. "Brother, you are also a wise man, and if you take us on the road, you will naturally not be wrong."

The people around them, listening to their conversation, also pointed and pointed at each other. They didn't expect that these people in front of them actually had a huge amount of silver taels.

They talked a lot again, drank fragrant tea, and had their own hearts. Liu Yichen and the others left the teahouse and went to the flat ground on the side, setting up tents.

Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao stayed in the tent. "Yao'er, the source of those private salts should be on an island in front of you."

Listening to his words, Song Zhiyao asked suspiciously. "Xianggong, nevertheless, what can it be? This ghost place has high mountains and dense forests, and officers and soldiers can't get in. ”

Liu Yichen listened to her words and bit his ear and said. "As long as they can find their superiors, they will get closer and closer to that Cao Shilang."

After a long time, they stepped out of their tents and looked at the starlight in the distance. There was a huge boat parked in the lake, unloading bags of salt down.

There was a person in the middle, with a solemn face. "One tael of silver and ten and a half pounds." The salt merchants, crowded together, scrambled for the silver.

They methodically put the bags of salt on their wagons. It only took a few moments before the huge ship was emptied.

Liu Yichen looked at the boat and thought to himself. "It seems that this ship must go to the island of private salt, and when it arrives on the island, it will be the source."

Thinking of this, Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao bent over, quietly turned sideways, and walked slowly. Suddenly, a few salt merchants over there shouted loudly.

"What do you want to do with this thing? I'm afraid it's not the eyeliner of the imperial court. Before the two of them could react, a group of minions came towards them with spears.

Before Song Zhiyao could react, the cold spear was on her shoulder, tightly jamming the two of them, and the minions pressed forward step by step.

At this critical moment, a sharp female voice came from afar. "Don't do it, they're the ones who do business, take them on board."

Song Zhiyao looked at the woman, it turned out that she was following them in the city before. Wearing a beautiful pink and purple skirt, her eyes are full of heroism.

She walked up to Song Zhiyao's side. "Your ambitions are not small, this one will rob other people's salt roads, and there will definitely be a big future in the future."

Song Zhiyao's eyes widened and looked at her. "Birds die for food, people die for money, since they are in order to earn silver, they are not afraid to lick blood from the edge of the knife."

The woman listened to her words and burst out laughing. "You people, you are really heroes, that one-eyed dragon should be let die if he eats inside and out."

One by one, the minions put away their spears and knelt down heavily. "Welcome to your guests." The two of them followed aboard the big boat.

The big ship raised its sails, the wind blew, and the water gurgled and the water gurgled loudly. The two of them looked curiously to the side, which was sprinkled with grains of salt from white flowers.

The woman walked forward, looked at them and smiled. "Our big boss, we've been eyeing you for a long time, but don't think about any tricks."

Liu Yichen looked at her and smiled respectfully. "Girl, we are here to make money, and the merchants of Tianzhu need this white snow."

The girl looked at Liu Yichen with a look of disbelief. "Wait, do you really know the Tianzhu people? I can say what I said there, and I will say a few words to my mother. ”

Liu Yichen suddenly said fluently. "Ada Atta, Kama." The woman laughed. "Karma, Silas." The two had a smooth conversation.

It turned out that Liu Yichen, when the first emperor was there, followed the Tianzhu delegation to the capital and played for a while, so he spoke so smoothly.

Song Zhiyao was on the side, looking at them in a daze. "My father-in-law is really talented, and he deceived this woman like this."

The woman continued. "In our business, we all eat with our heads tied to our hands, that is, we live for one day, and we live happily for one day, and you call me Miss Le."

Liu Yichen nodded, followed Song Zhiyao, and the two of them stood on the deck, looking at the surrounding steep hills together, and they had been driving for more than half an hour.

Liu Yichen looked at it secretly. "At the speed of this ship, it has driven a few miles, and it seems to be tilting in a northeasterly direction, remember this place."

The two of them stayed on the deck for a long time. After a long time, the big boat stopped on the beach, and shook its anchor head heavily.

Miss Le led them to a cave. There was an old man inside, dressed in black clothes, bald head, and seven inches tall.

He turned his head and smiled at Miss Le. "Daughter, this court is very tight, but you have to be cautious and don't make a mistake."

Miss Le led the two of them and said. "Father, these two are big guests, and they want to pay 500,000 taels of silver to buy our salt."

The old man stepped forward, his eyes squinted in a sly light. "These two, there is no trace of saltiness on their bodies, I'm afraid it won't be eyeliner?"

Then he pulled Liu Yichen and asked with a vigilant face. "It stands to reason that this is not a good place to go, and you shouldn't have broken into it."

Liu Yichen smiled calmly. "Boss, it's just for the silver, where in the world can't we suffer, it's just that the price of salt here is cheap, and we have worked hard to come."

The old man took out two jars in both hands and shook them with a loud noise. "If you really know salt, can you guess which one is in these two jars?"

Liu Yichen grabbed the jar with both hands and shook it vigorously, and there was a sound on both sides. One grain of sand is crisp, the other heavy. "This is it."

He quickly unscrewed the lid and pointed his finger at the salt inside. "Seniors, people who understand salt, just a moment, you can hear the sound."

The old man looked at Liu Yichen and said with a smile. "You kid does have some ability, you are the one who does this business, but you know here, there are not so many for the time being."

Song Zhiyao said on the side. "Seniors, it's just that Tianzhu merchants, they are very urgent, as many as they want, they will give us as much as they want, and they can't wait."

The old man replied. "If that's the case, I can give you 30,000 catties, but in this way, the price will be expensive, and one tael of silver can only be eight and a half catties."

Liu Yichen looked at the old man and laughed. "Old man, you are really a person who can do business, you can calculate a little profit, and make a deal."

Then they went down together. It turns out that at the foot of the mountain, there is another natural cave, and down is the stalactite rock of white flowers.

There were a lot of salt grains piled up over there, and a few shirtless men, holding up bags, struggled to fill them. Two stout overseers on the side, waving whips and scolding.

Liu Yichen walked down, pretending to smell the salt grains, sticking out his tongue and licking it. "It's really a great person, and it tastes good."

The old man laughed on the side. "After doing it for so many years, how can you not guarantee the quality, if you have a little more silver, then the salt can also be fake."

Liu Yichen and the others soon sat on the boat and returned to the fishing village. They ordered the people in the tent to give the money to Miss Le.

She ordered the minions to weigh the silver with a large scale, and her face was very happy. "Guest officer, this coin is in good condition." They went there in a boat.

The boat was quickly filled with salt and transported to the beach. "You go to Tianzhou City and stay there for a few days, and naturally someone will look for you."

Liu Yichen looked at the boat and disappeared into the distance. I thought to myself. "That Cao Shilang's place of residence is in Tianzhou City, and I finally touched him."

They stayed in this town for a few days, and they heard from those people that there were seven other places around the place where the illicit salt was produced, all of which were precipitous and desolate.

These seven places are all under the command of a mysterious person. They don't know the name of the mysterious person, they only know that he is called Shixue, and his prestige on the rivers and lakes is very high.

Liu Yichen thought. "This timely snow must be that Cao Lang, no matter how much he calculates, he can't imagine that we will use this method."
