"Master, Qi Donglai is not an old fox, why did the master choose him?" On the way back, Kan Pingtian couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you feel like you've exceeded your expectations this time?" Yang Zilu replied, looking at the seven more people added to the team, Yang Zilu couldn't help laughing.

Eighteen ivory tusks were exchanged for a total of 500 catties of sea salt, 20 stone millet, 20 axes, 10 bronze pickaxes, 10 bronze short swords, 30 sackcloth, and 20 silk cloth. But none of this can make Yang Zilu so excited. What made Yang Zilu so excited were the seven slaves. Because of Qi Donglai, Yang Zilu changed his plan to abduct a swordsmith, but Yang Zilu did not regret spending money to buy a 'slave'. Because once abducted, Yang Zilu will not want to mix up in Juwucheng in the next few years, let alone both, the other party will definitely not cooperate.

But with Qi Donglai's help, Yang Zilu now has seven slaves in his hands, one of them is a disciple of the swordsmith that Qi Donglai said before, and the other two are the small leaders of miner slaves that Qi Donglai bought back from a nearby mine, and they can all easily distinguish what copper ore is, what tin ore is, and what the ore content is. There are also three craftsmen who make ceramics, and the last one is the one that makes Yang Zilu the most excited, that is a craftsman who makes armor.

But when the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Wu State, the captives came back, but how the country also has [***], after several turns into the hands of Qi Donglai, although Qi Donglai hesitated, but worthy of being a businessman, he was willing to pay the capital, and sent this craftsman to Yang Zilu, and also came with a sword that was said to be made by a famous craftsman. Now weapons made of special steel, and even the traditional made knife Yang Zilu has seen, this so-called sword, in Yang Zilu's view, is just an old antique, whether it is hardness or sharpness, it is not as good as a modern kitchen knife.

"Master!" Kan Pingtian interrupted Yang Zilu's thoughts with a little dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Master, you haven't answered me to my question just now!" ”

Yang Zilu shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Old Kan! Although I don't know what happened to you before that made you so eager for quick success, to be able to do business without capital, and definitely not spend a penny. But you need to understand that sometimes spending money is more effective than not spending at all. And you are still not at ease with Qi Donglai, to be honest, not only you, but even I am not at ease. ”

"Then why did the master befriend him?" Kan Pingtian said dissatisfiedly: "These businessmen are all white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, and when others encounter difficulties, they don't come to send charcoal in the snow, and they are more ruthless than one another." ”

Yang Zilu stared at Kan Pingtian and said with a smile: "You have encountered this thing!" Very deep description. ”

When Kan Pingtian heard this, his indifferent face was slightly dissatisfied, and a thick hatred flashed in his eyes, and he was silent about Yang Zilu's words.

Yang Zilu sighed and said, "I don't care about your affairs, but you don't know one thing, that is, businessmen pursue profits." As long as he can see that I have interests for him, Qi Donglai is more loyal than anyone else, unless someone who can give him greater benefits than I can give! ”

"Master, I'm still not worried about him, let me bring him instead of Qi Dong! I can do business too! Kan Pingtian was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice. It can be seen that he is not an angry sentence, but a deliberate one.

"No!" Yang Zilu shook his head and said, seeing that Kan Pingtian wanted to refute, Yang Zilu preemptively said: "It's not that I don't trust you." It's just that you need to understand one thing. Changge has the use of Changge, and short sword has the use of short sword. Changge is cheap and can equip soldiers in large quantities, they are longer than swords, and as long as they are not approached, they are invincible. But what about the dagger? As long as he is close, even if it is a hundred soldiers, as long as they only have Changge in their hands, he can kill and injure dozens of people. I think you know what I mean, right? ”

Kan Pingtian was silent for a while, nodded and said, "I understand, this time it was Pingtian who was abrupt!" ”

"You have to understand the way to employ people to be independent!" Yang Zilu said.

Because there were a lot of goods this time, it took Yang Zilu five days to return to Jiukuibu, and what Yang Zilu didn't expect was that there seemed to be a haze in the sky above Jiukuibu, and there was a depressing atmosphere everywhere.

Yang Zilu was stunned, a thick worry flashed in his eyes, and Kan Pingtian led everyone to walk quickly through the woods and come to the outside of the Jiukui Department. I saw the wooden fence outside the Jiukui Department, some places were broken, some places were scorched, and they were obviously scorched by the flames. Yang Zilu's face changed slightly, he squatted down, pushed away the fine sand, and could see a few dark red sand grains, Yang Zilu twisted it up and took it to the vicinity of his nose, and obviously smelled a pungent smell of blood.

Yang Zilu didn't care about anything, and rushed into the Jiukui Department quickly, but what made Yang Zilu thankful was that the houses in the Jiukui Department were not too damaged, proving that the battle did not affect the interior.

"Chieftain...... Sheik! A clansman from the Jiukui tribe shouted in disbelief when he saw Yang Zilu.

"Ahh It's the chief back! Another member of the Jiukui tribe shouted.

Yang Zilu didn't have time to respond to them, carrying a short sword, Yang Zilu walked quickly to his house, and now he was most worried about the little fox. As soon as I entered the wooden house, I smelled a smell of blood.

Yang Zilu's face changed greatly, he was unprecedentedly scared and nervous, walked quickly to the bed, and saw the person lying down, Yang Zilu breathed a long sigh of relief. The person lying on the bed was not the little fox, but the ape, but at the moment he was not relaxed, his eyes were closed, and bandages were bandaged on his chest, arms and thighs, and the only thing that was more complete was probably the ape face of the ape, only here there was no injury.

"Brother Yang!" A voice full of surprise came from outside the room.

Yang Zilu walked out of the house quickly, only to see the little fox standing outside the door with a haggard face that could not be concealed. "Little fox!" Yang Zilu rushed up with an arrow step and hugged the little fox tightly.

"Brother Yang! I'm so scared! I thought I'd never see you again! Woo! Woo! Woo! ......" Xiaohu also hugged Yang Zilu tightly, and the grievances in his heart couldn't help but speak, and he slowly cried as he spoke.

Yang Zilu gently stroked the little fox's three thousand green silks, her heart was full of pity, and comforted: "Don't be afraid!" Brother Yang is here to protect you! Rest assured, as long as Brother Yang is here, no one can hurt Xiaohu. ”

It can be seen that Xiaohu is very nervous during this period, crying and crying, he leaned on Yang Zilu's arms and fell asleep. Yang Zilu gently picked up the little fox and went to the wooden house, fortunately, because Kan Pingtian had lived before, he left a small bed, and Yang Zilu didn't have to worry about where to place the little fox. Gently put the little fox on the wooden bed, Yang Zilu's heart was full of anger, although he didn't know anything yet, but probably he still knew, he sweared! He will definitely make the people who attack the Nine Kui Department pay the price.
