Volume 3 Baoling Prefecture Chapter 79 Soldiers are coming to the city
In the council, the powerful people forced Quan Yuren to see Mu Chen, although he agreed, but on the grounds of physical discomfort, he did not act immediately. Seeing that he was indeed depressed and in pain, the magnates did not continue to entangle, and left with a little regret, and dispersed in groups of three or five.
Quan Yuren returned to the room and rested, he didn't want to take a stand, just took advantage of his physical discomfort, he could drag it out, and did not do anything before the situation was clear.
Quan Mingde saw his father's thoughts, which was contrary to what he and Shi Hanlu had consulted, if the Liu family was unwilling to compromise, or Mu Chen did what he said, then it would not be enough to save Qi Luna by just doing things after the fact, so he anxiously went back and forth in the study, thinking about what else could force his father to come forward immediately.
Mu Chen and his entourage visited a few more stores, and when they heard that they were buying clothes for Coco, the reaction of the store was basically the same, they did not shirk or be active, they gave enough face, but they just didn't do practical things. For an afternoon, I didn't buy anything except the long skirts of the first store.
The people on the street gathered more and more, and they were almost all trying to confirm the news that Qiluna and Mu Chen were on the side of the Spirit Clan, so wherever they went, there was always a group of people following behind them, and the sighs were getting louder and louder, as if they had been sent to them on purpose.
"Mu Chen, let's go back. Chunyue was afraid that Coco would be hit again, so she suggested.
"Go back, what are you going to do when you go back, you haven't finished shopping yet. ”
"Cocoa's... What else would you like to visit?"
"That's it for Coco's clothes, I guess I can't buy it, but I'm just starting to buy something. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chen stopped in front of a store selling jewelry and precious wares, pointed at Chunyue, and said with a smile: "It's here." ”
The rest of the people didn't understand what he wanted to do, and he didn't need these things, but when he pushed the door in, they had to follow him.
"Hello and welcome... Oops... Lord Mu Chen, Patriarch, why are you here, it's really an honor for the small shop, what do you need?"
"Penetrating the wings. ”
"You're here just in time, the shop just has a few wings, how many do you need?"
"Bring them all. ”
Touyi has always been very expensive in Baoling Prefecture, and even the entire human continent, and the boss saw that the big deal came to the door, so he did not hesitate to put aside the other customers and go upstairs to pick it up in person.
"Lord Mu Chen, what are you doing when you buy the wings, our Spirit Clan has..."
"Force Liu Yi to grab it first. In just a few words, everyone understood what it meant, and they stopped talking.
After a moment's work, the boss moved Tho Yi down, and he refused to help halfway, and carefully sent it to Mu Chen.
"Lord Mu Chen, the Patriarch, and the small shop have a total of eight exhibitions, all of which are intact, and they are not the same grade as those hanging in the villagers' homes, you can see it. ”
There are only two ways to enter the market through the Wings, either from the Giant Crocodile Forest or from the villages and towns around the Ghoul Tomb. The spirits live in the forest of giant crocodiles, which is naturally the place of origin, but because of the dangerous environment, few people enter the forest to search. The reason why the boss emphasizes that his wing is a fine product is to imply that these are not collected from the hands of the villagers, but to spend money to find them in the forest, so as to pave the way for raising the price.
Coco listened to the boss's introduction, walked forward without hesitation to check carefully, and just looked at the exhibition, he asked in person: "Boss, your penetrating wing has been repaired, the damaged place is different from the original wing surface texture, and the color is also slightly different, if I guess correctly, you should use a exhibition as a consumable to repair the rest." ”
"You... You have wronged me, I bought it from the mercenary at a great cost, they claim to have found it from the Giant Crocodile Forest, and two companions died for these wings, I see that they are sincere, they should not lie, will you be mistaken. When the boss saw the wings behind Coco, he knew that he couldn't fool her, so he could only tell a lie.
"Supplementation is repair, but it does not affect the use, our spirit clan also uses this method to repair, your skills in these exhibitions are good, if you don't look carefully, you can really fool the past." ”
Speaking of this, the boss could only turn his target to Mu Chen, and said with a smile: "Lord Mu Chen, I really don't know that I was deceived, but I did spend a lot of money to buy it, you want it, I will give it to you at the cost price, and I won't earn you a penny." ”
Jiayue knew that Mu Chen was lavish and didn't care about the price, so she grabbed the words and asked, "How much?"
"Two thousand gold coins on display, eight exhibitions for a total of sixteen thousand. ”
"You fart, we have dealt with the case of Qiming Village, and we know roughly what the price of this thing is, it is generally between six hundred and one thousand gold coins, and you dare to double it if you make a fake." ”
"It's not that the villain asks for the price indiscriminately, the price has indeed grown crazy recently, and the grapevine has said that the business group wants to buy a large number of goods, and the major chambers of commerce and expensive stores have rushed to stock up, and the price has naturally risen. ”
Because of the case in Qiming Village, the acquisition spread to the market, and the merchant group was killed, and the old city lord proposed compensation and spread far and wide, so there were indeed people buying everywhere, and strange goods could live. However, the price only grew to about 1,500 gold coins, which was far lower than the boss's offer.
"Give me what you want, but you have to give me some news. ”
"Mu Chen, you..."
Without waiting for Jiayue to finish speaking, the boss hurriedly replied: "Lord Mu Chen, you said that as long as the villain knows, he will definitely tell the truth." ”
"How many wings are circulating in Baoling City, and where can I buy them?"
"As far as the villain knows, there will be no more than forty exhibitions on the market, most of which are distributed in the expensive shops opened by the major chambers of commerce, but because of the increase in prices, the nobles and villagers have also sold some, this part cannot be counted at present, you have to be interested, the villain can buy it for you. ”
"I'm going to buy them all today, just tell me the location of the store. ”
"You also need to go in person, the villain will send someone to collect it immediately, you drink tea with me, wait for a while. ”
"Earn the money you should earn, and then talk nonsense..."Mu Chen's eyes showed a fierce light, the boss didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly went to get the map and mark the location of the store.
Taking the map, Mu Chen came out, Qi Luna virtualized the Penetrating Wing, and left a pile of gold coins on the ground, and came out with Ink Orange. Coco forced the reluctant two sisters out of the door, and it was not until the boss drove the rest of the customers away and closed the shop that the golden light in their eyes completely disappeared, so they came back to their senses and chased after everyone.
"Nana, how much gold do you have?" asked Junzuki as she leaned over to Kiruna.
"I haven't counted. ”
"Is that enough to buy forty wings?"
"Enough. ”
"Wow... Eighty thousand gold coins, I've never seen that much money when I'm so old, you're really..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Chen entered another storefront. In this way, according to the location marked by the boss on the map, several people came to the door one by one, and bought a total of 37 Zhan at a unit price of 1,800 to 2,000 gold coins, basically buying up the transparent wings circulating in the city.
After doing this, it was getting late, and several people found a nearby restaurant to eat, and the atmosphere in the hall was similar to that in Jiaweixuan, but Coco was obviously no longer nervous and much more relaxed.
Liu Mingtong led 3,000 cavalry on a long-distance expedition, and it took an afternoon to reach the villages and towns around the ghoul tomb.
In addition to Ciguang Village, other villages and towns have not yet given an answer, Ciguang Village because of the village chief Zhao Hong, afraid that it will be implicated in the future, so immediately agreed to exchange the land for the wing, the village relocated, and even some people have already packed up their belongings, just waiting to sell the wing, to live in another place again.
Most of the villages that didn't give an answer were reluctant to leave, but they were afraid of the cavalry brought by Liu Mingtong, and outsiders thought that they lived around the nest of demonic beasts and would often be harassed, but in fact, this is just people's habitual cognition.
Monsters instinctively stay away from each other's nests, so apart from ghouls, there are very few other monsters here. Ghouls, on the other hand, do not haunt during the day, and can use the Penetrating Wing to keep them out of the village at night, so although they keep complaining, the living environment is not dangerous, and the land is fertile enough to feed everyone, so even if they hold the precious Penetrating Wing, they still choose to stay, and reproduce for several generations.
Liu Mingtong saw that these people were undecided, so he wanted to start with the lord first, but the lord lived in Baoling City, so he left his deputy to continue to communicate with the villagers, and he ran to Baoling City with a large army.
After nightfall, the cavalry team that stretched for several miles carried large flags and torches appeared on the outskirts of the south gate of Baoling City, and when they saw a cavalry coming, the city gate guards immediately reported that the guards had not received the news that there would be a large-scale army movement, so they closed the city gate tightly and let it go after it was investigated.
When the cavalry walked in, the guard saw the word "Liu" on the banner, and a thought flashed in his heart, but he immediately dispelled it, stood on the city wall and looked down, and began to interrogate according to the process: "Who is coming, please show the order." ”
"Under Liu Mingtong, on the order of the patriarch Liu Yixian, I went to visit Mu Chen, the head of the pioneers. ”
"You're... What is your relationship with Centurion Liu Jie?"
"Liu Jie is a cousin under him. ”
"These thousands of cavalry are again..."
"The elders of the clan were afraid that I would encounter accidents on the road alone, so they sent them to protect me. ”
"What do you say... This... These are all soldiers of your Liu family?"
"It's a drop in the bucket. My lord, are you old friends with your brother?"
"I've been with Team Liu for seven or eight years, but it's a pity..."
"Since the adult has a great friendship with my brother, I will say it bluntly, I came today to show my strength, with my Liu clan here, he Mu Chen doesn't want to cover the sky with one hand in Baoling Prefecture, no one can force human beings. Sir, let me in, and I promise not to cause trouble in the city, and to leave at once after the intimidating ceremony. ”
Having said this, the guard general had already made a choice, he had a deep friendship with Liu Jie, but in order to protect himself, he watched Liu Jie being forced to death by Mu Chen, thinking that there was no hope of revenge, and now the Liu family soldiers are coming to the city, in order to make up for his blind behavior because of timidity, he would rather violate military discipline, and resolutely raised his right hand and shouted: "Open the door, let go." ”
