Something that you can't produce yourself.

It's not a good thing!

This is the basic operation of a Southern Song Dynasty businessman.

As for why later generations will speculate the price of 'jadeite' so high?

In addition to the fact that Yunnan has returned to the motherland.

It's not because some businessmen, for the sake of profit, don't even want a little bit of professional ethics......

Of course.

For example, some minerals, copper and iron, gold and silver, cinnabar, leather and other hard currencies in Dali are not listed!

The Southern Song Dynasty lacked copper.

Very lacking!

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

If it weren't for the scarcity of copper, silver would not be the main currency.

Compared to jadeite, a luxury that has no use value.

After being reprimanded by Lan Li.

The merchants of the Lan family were the same as other merchants from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Gold and silver, meteoric iron, medicinal herbs, and leather were chosen as targets for large transactions.

And it was also decided that every year in the future, there would be caravans from the Lan family to come to trade.

The Dali government is very satisfied with this transaction.

Because the goods traded by the Lan family caravan were silk.....

That's right!

The silk that had just been bought from Shuzhong had been walked for less than ten days, and it was exchanged for a huge profit of eight times the price difference!!

As long as this road flows out, it will be a rich 'golden road'!

Dali got beautiful clothes made of silk.

The official in charge of the reception sent the caravan out of the city with great satisfaction.

I went all the way for another ten miles.

Inside the carriage.

looked at Dongfang Bai's absent-minded appearance.

Lan Li spit out two words expressionlessly:

"Go ahead."

Hearing this, Dongfang Bai showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Remember, don't be discovered, next time we come, we have to do business."

"I know."

"It is recommended that you go to Tianlong Temple, which is the foundation of the Duan clan in Dali."

"Tenryuji? The ancestral hall of the Duan family? ”

"Well, there are many old monks in the Grandmaster realm hidden in it, and there is also a solitary copy of the Duan family's six-vein divine sword......"

"Got it!"

Nodding at Lan Li, Dongfang Bai quietly left the convoy.

Towards the city of Dali that had just left.

She still hasn't given up.

The legendary treasure of swordsmanship, since he has touched the shadow, how can Dongfang Bai give up?

As for the 'Six-Vein Divine Sword' in Lan Li's mouth, Dongfang Bai didn't pay much attention to it.

The method of controlling qi in the Sunflower Treasure Book is enough for her.

......

......

This time, Dongfang Bai left for three days.

It wasn't until the Lan family's convoy approached the border between Dali and Nanzhao that she rushed back.

Seriously injured!

In the dark.

Half of the upper body was stained red with blood, and Dongfang Bai returned.

Stuffed the thing in his hand into Lan Li's arms, and the whole person fainted.

"Childe."

"Hurry up and eat, let's continue on our way after eating!"

Carefully examined the wounds on Dongfang Bai's body.

After seeing three piercing wounds on his shoulder.

Lan Li frowned and dragged her back to the carriage.

Tear the garment off the shoulder.

Three wounds, as if they had been drilled by a bullet.

With the naked eye, you can see the pink muscles being repaired.

On top of it, there are layers of sword qi, like maggots attached to the bones, constantly consuming the regrown flesh and blood.

This was the first time Lan Li had seen this kind of injury.

"Walking a lot at night will eventually meet ghosts, but fortunately you run fast."

Sighing, Lan Li exchanged a Life Leaf from the system and stuffed it into Dongfang Bai's wound.

After that, I carefully bandaged her.

The excellent efficacy of the Tree of Life Leaves has been verified in Zhuo Yihang.

Zhuo Yihang, who is about to die, can hang his life.

It is worthy of its worth of 500 merit points!

Even if it's wrapped in a white cloth.

Dongfang Bai's wound could also feel the energy full of life breath constantly emanating.

Helping them to heal their wounds.

After about half an hour, Dongfang Bai let out a groan and woke up.

The carriage swayed.

It has entered the territory of Nanzhao.

Lan Li, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, glanced at her.

"Awake?"

"Hmm... What about what I got back? ”

Sobered up, Dongfang Bai did the first thing.

It's not about your injuries.

Rather, I thought about what she brought back.

"How much do you care about your life?"

After complaining, seeing that Dongfang Bai was still looking at himself, Lan Li threw the things in his hand over.

A picture scroll.

It is divided into two layers, inside and outside.

Just now, Lan Li has already seen it.

Inside is a bunch of words that can't even be seen by Lan Li.

The outer layer is recorded with the Six-Vein Divine Sword!

I don't know how this girl stole it........

Stuff in hand.

Dongfang Bai's pale face was dyed with a touch of red.

Holding the scroll, it was like holding a baby, and I fainted again.

Seeing this, Lan Li shook his head.

Cover her with the quilt.

"The talent is so good, you still work so hard, and you still can't give us ordinary people a way to live?"

Dongfang Bai, who was in a coma, seemed to hear Lan Li's words.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

......

......

Another day passed.

Lan Li and his party.

Starting from Xiangyang, through Jiangling, Shaozhou, Linjiang, Zhizhou, Shuzhong, Wuliang Mountain, Dali.

It took sixty-four days.

Finally came to Nanzhao Kingdom!

Outside the window, the sun was scorching.

At a glance.

A jungle full of eyes...

When entering a place like the old county seat in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lan Li was told.

It was an important border town of the Southern Zhao Kingdom......

On the street, bare-bottomed children are running all over the street.

The face was pitch black.

It's hard to tell if they're boys or girls.

Not crowded.

But!

Dirty!

Disorderly!

Difference!

This is Lan Li's whole impression of Nanzhao!!

The Lan family's caravan had just entered the city.

Behind it, there was a group of 'little tails'.

He looked like he was seven or eight years old.

Looking at you with watery eyes.

If you can ignore the 'stone chips' they are holding in their hands.

Just now.

A caravan merchant was not careful, and was directly pierced into the veins of his neck by this stone piece.....

Blood bursts out.

Confused.

I watched a large number of people suddenly pour out of the street.

And then fall.....

"Draw the knife!"

"Shoot back!"

"Those who dare to approach the caravan will be killed!!

With a few roars.

Riding on a horse, Zuo Zhong drew his knife and slashed!

After.

It's a country slang for crying dad and calling mother.

After dropping a dozen corpses, the men retreated into the distance and began to point.

It seems to be cursing the viciousness of the 'Merchant' gate.

It's like a curse.

Listening to Lan Li was very boring.

Over here.

Is it Zixuan's hometown?

I have to say.

The welcome ceremony of the Nanzhao people made him very disappointed!

"So, mixed with these people, how did Zixuan grow up?"

Lean one hand against the window.

Lan Li looked at the sides of the road with an indifferent expression, those who pointed at the convoy and pointed at the Nanzhao people.

"The poorer the place, the richer people will be more than you think."

Dongfang Bai, who was leaning on the tiger skin and reading a book, replied to him.

It's just that.

Looking at the expression, it seems to be a little sarcastic?

In this regard, Lan Li chose to turn a blind eye.

Just asked Zuo Zhong outside to speed up and rush to the capital of Nanzhao where the Nuwa Temple is located as soon as possible.

Although Lan Li has always called Nanzhao a small country.

Only in terms of land area, the size of Nanzhao is actually larger than that of Dali.

It's just that the poverty is beyond imagination.

Walk on the dirt road covered with turf in Nanzhao.

Look out the window.

Lan Li can actually see many unobtrusive figures, shuttling between the jungles.

There are men and women.

He had sticks, ropes, and improvised spears.

"What are they doing?"

"I'm going to ambush you."

“.....”

Hearing this, Lan Li looked at Dongfang Bai with wide eyes:

"Are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Are they going to stab the iron armor with sticks?"

"No!"

Dongfang Bai sneered:

"Don't cut these people with no equipment, but the poisoned arrows, poisons, lassoes, and traps hidden in their bodies!

As long as one is not careful, there are businessmen who fall into their traps.

Then they will come out of the jungle and kill prey like you in a way you have never seen before, and strip you of everything! ”

“.... Talk to me. ”

"Hehehe.... You'll find out later. ”

"What do you mean?"

Dongfang smiled but did not answer.

Her expression made Lan Li's heart flash a bad premonition.

So.....

"Zuo Zhong!"

Poking his head out of the window, Lan Li commanded with an expressionless face:

"Order, everyone is wound with an iron crossbow, and anyone who is close to the convoy 300 meters will be killed!"

"No!"

When he replied, Zuo Zhong licked his tanned lips.

Soon, after a commotion, the convoy fell silent.

Like a beast that walks in the night?

A moment later.

'Bang'

'Bang... Bang bang....'

A few empty strings of crossbow machines sounded, and in the jungle, a few Han noises sounded.

"Don't do it, we're Song ....."

'Bang. ’

The voice of the caller stopped abruptly.

Inside the carriage.

Hearing this, Dongfang Bai glanced at Lan Li with a smile.

"Pretty decisive?"

"Or else?"

"I thought you'd be soft-hearted."

“..... You forget, there are many people in the team, but they participated in the Northern Expedition. ”

"yes...."

Speaking of this, it seems that the movement is too big, and it pulls the wound on the shoulder.

Dongfang Bai frowned and covered his left chest.

After a moment, she nodded at Lan Li:

"You guards, they're all your treasures, be careful, don't let them die here."

"I know...."

One night time.

The convoy is on official roads.

Every dozen miles.

Several corpses would be left on both sides of the road.

Among them.

There were Nanzhao natives who suddenly broke into the road and shouted.

There were Han Chinese who were coerced by the natives of Nanzhao.

More of them were Nanzhao women who had learned Chinese.

At the end of the night, the number of dead was close to fifty.

But even when the day is about to dawn, there are still such people, who keep coming up to the convoy.

Finally.

It's dawn.

Lan Li stepped out of the carriage.

By the light of day.

He looked in the distance at a Nanzhao man who had been targeted by a crossbow arrow.

Asked the words that had been pressed in my heart all night:

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

The Nanzhao people who were asked were stunned for a moment.

He tilted his head, as if in thought.

Subsequently.

I saw him smile and wave to Lan Li.

It seems that he wants to call Lan Li over......
