Chapter 172: Sell Me the Great Firebird
The sun is slowly setting.
Ji Lie and Jiang Li sat on the wall, drinking one sip after another, the big firebird would occasionally stretch out its long beak to beg for wine, Ji Lie ignored it, but Jiang Li would always smile and give it a sip.
From beginning to end, they didn't say a word, not even eye contact, Ji Lie wanted to ask her, why did you come here, and when did you leave? However, he did not ask, for she was now a merchant, and it was only right for a merchant to travel around the world, and he could not expel a merchant.
Yin Yong said that there may be unexpected gains.
Is it just drinking?
Ji Lie's alcohol is very large, he doesn't know how big it is, because he has never really been drunk, when he was at the source of the glacier, it was extremely cold, even the toes of his feet would freeze, and urinating could instantly freeze, so when he was not fighting, secretly drinking a pot of wine was the most enjoyable thing in the world.
Jiang Li's amount of wine is not small, two jars of wine fell into her stomach, and her face was still that thin layer of redness, not a single point increased, and no point decreased.
The two of them are a bird, drinking together on the wall, and the atmosphere is very weird.
Finally, the last jar of wine was drunk by Ji Lie, and he spat out the cloudy smell of wine. Jiang Li waved his hand in disgust, just like he waved a big firebird. Ji Lie took another breath and looked directly into Jiang Li's eyes for the first time, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Jiang Li said: "Say, what do you want to wait for from me?" ”
The sound of the piano next door sounded again, Cai Xuan sat under a willow tree in a snow-white dress, her slender fingers plucked the strings, the gentle sound of the piano was like a boat in the moonlight, gently swinging, very lingering, occasionally, she would raise her head, glance at the courtyard wall quickly, and then lower her head again, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth. Jiang Li bent his legs and slapped his knees, one by one, and the sound of the piano was seamless.
After a while, seeing that Ji Lie didn't speak, Jiang Li glanced at him: "Grain? Armour? Weapons? Or, do you have a crush on my horse? ”
Ji Lie touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, he wanted everything she said, but he also knew that businessmen and businessmen were not profitable and businessmen, and they were not traitors and businessmen. He has nothing, why should someone give it to him? However, he does need these things, because he has cut off the heads of the mountain kings and obtained the treasures of the kings, so the food can last for a while, but it will definitely not last until the end of the year. As for armor, weapons, horses, and even chariots, such war resources were what he desperately needed, and now, there were a thousand soldiers in Huifeng Town, of which only five hundred were fully equipped. And in the near future, if the Heavenly Despicable Aoba does not disappoint him, then he will have more soldiers, he needs weapons and armor to arm them, although there is also a blacksmith shop in Huifeng Town, but there is not enough iron.
Chen Guo and Zhao Guo have already started a war, and Anguo's civil strife is almost over, his eldest brother Ji Yun has already remembered him, and there is less and less time left for him.
"I need a trade route."
Ji Lie's voice was very deep, he had to get a piece of the pie in this war between Chen Guo and Zhao Guo, so that he had enough strength to fight against the threat from the south bank of the Liuyuan River, besides, he never forgot his promise that he would go back, fly over the Liuyuan River, tell the person he wanted to tell him, I am back, find the person he wants to thank, and bow sincerely.
"Business?"
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, stood up, put his hand on his eyebrows, looked inside and out of Huifeng Town, and then sat down slowly: "As a merchant, I have to tell you that your territory is very barren, and I can't see anything other than salted fish and mountain goods." Well, the sea beyond that wall is beautiful, but it doesn't belong to you. After saying that, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she was smiling.
Ji Lie's face turned red, almost annoyed, he secretly clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Then why are you ......?"
"When I was in Yongdu, I heard that you had a bird, well, this one. If you're willing to sell it to me, then, you'll get everything you want. ”
Jiang Li looked at Ji Lie for a long time, and touched the big firebird. Who knows, this time the big firebird ignored her, but turned his head sharply and screamed towards Ji Lie. The great firebird likes beautiful women, but he doesn't like to be sold, like a slave.
Ji Lie's brows furrowed even tighter, and the jaw lines above his lips deepened and deepened.
Jiang Li didn't care, she tapped the nail leaf on her knee with a finger, and made a 'Pu Pu Pu' voice: "Ji Lie, also known as Yu Lie." Ji Lie, the fourth son of Anguo, his mother is the daughter of Song Hou, who is extremely wise, married to An Jun for some reason, and died early. Ji Lie was stupid and stubborn when he was young, disliked by the countrymen, disliked by An Jun, was bullied since he was a child, and went to Yan at the age of twelve, somehow, lost in the Liuyuan River, so far, Ji Lie disappeared, Yu Lie appeared, Yu Lie met the divine doctor Qin Yue on the road, followed Qin Yue to Yanjing, inherited Qin Yue's title and territory, and became a nobleman of Yan State. In the battle of Longshan, he traveled 800 miles, captured dozens of wives and sons of the king of Beidi alive, dedicated them to Yanjun, and was awarded the title of second-class baron. After the first battle of the source of the glacier, he led his troops to the fortress of the Ten Days, where he was outnumbered and besieged, and after a bloody battle, he went to the sky by flying birds, and destroyed the Snow Peak Fortress with a hurricane storm. Then he flew to Zhongli City and almost killed Zhongli Honghu. At this point, Yu Lie disappeared, Ji Lie appeared, and led the remnants to the shore of the sea, the corner of Qishan. Am I right? ”
Ji Lie was stunned. The big firebird looked straight at Jiang Li, a big blister came out of the long beak, and with a 'poof' sound, it cracked, and Ji Lie's face was confused.
Ji Lie wiped his face, his expression gloomy as water. There are some things that he can't remember anymore, or rather, he doesn't want to think about them anymore, but Jiang Li put these past in front of him and counted them one by one. And in front of her, he was like a bare ass blowing a cold wind, extremely uncomfortable, even more so than when he was betrayed.
"I'm not your enemy."
Jiang Li seemed to guess Ji Lie's thoughts, a trace of tenderness and regret flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand holding Jia Ye, as if he wanted to reach out and touch Ji Lie's face, but he paused halfway, slowly retracted back, leaned against the wall, curled his legs, and continued to pat his leg armor: "I know you very well, and even know you better than you." You sold 2,000 slaves in the fortress of the Ten Days, got 15,000 sword coins, and exchanged all your money for grain in Xuancheng, which summoned the country. Just a few days ago, you cut off a lot of heads, sold a number of slaves, and exchanged some iron for Zhaoguo. Moreover, when you were in Yanjing, the world called you a slave lord. That being the case, why can't you sell it to me in exchange for something more important to you. ”
"Goo, goo." The big firebird screamed, as if to say, Lao Tzu, don't sell.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Lie fixedly, and didn't care about the protest of the big firebird at all.
Ji Lie closed his eyes, opened them again, patted the big firebird on the neck, stood up, patted his buttocks, shrugged his shoulders, and prepared to jump down the wall. The big firebird glanced at Jiang Li resentfully and spread its wings. Two soldiers stood guard under the wall, their bodies straight.
"Wait." Jiang Li shouted, his voice a little hurried.
Ji Lie turned his head and stared at her: "Perhaps, in your eyes, I am a mercenary person, and perhaps, in your eyes, I am still a poor worm." But, here, in Windwind, I'm the lord. And the evil is not a slave, nor is it a commodity, and nothing is more important to me. You are a merchant and a guest, and I will treat you well once, just once. Since you know me so well, then you should know that I will kill. ”
After saying that, he made a cold face and jumped under the wall.
"Wait."
Jiang Li was in a hurry, and grabbed the big behind him and didn't let him jump, because she knew that Ji Lie would never look back if he left. Her strength is really great, Ji Lie is already tall, and she is wearing heavy armor, but she is dragging it to death, the more the big one is elongated, Ji Lie's feet are hanging in the air, and he can't fall.
"Put, put."
Ji Lie wanted to shout to let go, but his neck was strangled and his face turned purple.
"Then you come up." Jiang Li is Jiang Li, in this case, she still said to let Ji Lie come up, not to say, not to go.
"You, first, let go."
Ji Lie was almost out of breath. However, Jiang Li stubbornly pulled Da Yu and refused to let go, so he had to nod. The big firebird retracted its wings again, looked at Ji Lie for a while, and looked at Jiang Li for a while, its eyes rolled around, and bubbles appeared one after another in its beak. As soon as it is shocked, it bubbles.
"Poof." A chuckle sounded next door, and the sound of the piano also tinked, which seemed extremely cheerful.
"I, I, I'll go up." Ji Lie nodded with difficulty.
"Then I'll pull you up."
Jiang Li couldn't help but pull the big and pulled Ji Lie against the courtyard wall inch by inch. After the big firebird spit out the bubbles, it flew to the wall pillar and lay down, stretching its neck, looking at Ji Lie and Jiang Li for a moment, in its opinion, these two people were too strange and stupid.
Ji Lie gasped and looked at Jiang Li warily.
The flush on Jiang Li's face slowly faded, she didn't look at Ji Lie, she looked at the big firebird: "I am a businessman, in business, I can give you a business road, a business road from Yongdu to here, no one dares to stop it." This time, I brought thirty carts of armor, fifty carts of weapons, eighty carts of grain, and eight hundred pounds of copper and gold, all of which can be given to you, and even my men can give them. ”
"People?"
Ji Lie was stunned again, and a big bubble bubbled out of the big firebird's 'coo', which was bigger than Jiang Li's face. Jiang Li's eyes flashed twice, and he came back to his senses in an instant, his face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "It's my guard, my guard." ”
"Oh." "Goo! ”
Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the big firebird
Jiang Liyu's anger did not subside, and he said angrily: "However, I have one condition. ”
Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief again, it is better to have conditions than no conditions. If it is given for free, then he really doesn't dare to ask for it, and the great god of Haotian has never taken pity on him.
"On what terms?"
Ji Lie asked, his expression was extremely solemn, not to mention the trade route, the goods that Jiang Li just said were enough to provoke a war.
"These are all lent to you, and in two years, you will have to pay me back double."
