Chapter 119 - Guided by Force
Where there are people, there is a conflict of interests.
Even if Ling Yun and the others hoeed the fields in the east of the village for seven days, the purple maple leaves in the cart still made many villagers around them jealous.
Ling Yun naturally didn't take these words to heart.
He secretly observed the caravan members passing by.
This caravan is a miscellaneous caravan, which is pieced together by many family forces. Unlike the Jia family caravan, the main body is dominated by the Jia family. This caravan, in addition to the leader of the public recommendation, also has a dozen deputy leaders, as if it were a combined army.
This is good news for Lingyun.
The more complex the structure of the caravan, the easier it was for him to blend in.
"Hey, how do you sell this car of purple maple leaves?" soon someone came over to ask the price.
"Two and a half spirit stones. Lingyun said.
"Two and a half spirit stones, you might as well grab them!" the visitor's eyes widened suddenly.
"Love to buy or not!" Su Nuan said on the side.
"Hmph!" the man walked away.
If they really sold this caravatar, what excuse did Ling Yun and the others use to join the caravan? Therefore, they did it deliberately, and after a while, they ran away angrily with three people who asked for the price.
Until the evening, this car of purple maple leaves could not be sold. On the contrary, many people's herbs, cured meats, milk, etc., have sold most of them.
After all, the caravan is huge, and these things also need to be replenished.
Many people joked about the two of them, and some even began to sneer. There are also well-wishers who remind them to reduce the price appropriately.
But Ling Yun and the others ignored them.
After nightfall, Ling Yun pretended to be dejected, pulled the cart of purple maple leaves, and came to the old village chief's house.
The old village chief asked about the situation and sighed: "You guys, I clearly told you, it's good to be able to buy two spirit stones." One and a half spirit stones can also be shot. Why don't you listen to me?
"You must know that there are many purple maple leaves on Ziyou Mountain. The reason why those people buy it is also to make it convenient and fast, saving the effort of collecting. Alas, it is useless to tell you. Forget it, forget it....... ”
The old village chief kept shaking his head and sighing.
Ling Yun raoed his head and said: "We want to sell more spirit stones, one is to return to the original, and the other is to honor the two elders." I didn't expect that after such a long effort, I wouldn't be able to sell it. ”
His voice was anxious, with a faint hint of crying, giving people the feeling that he was about to cry.
Hearing his words, the old village chief's heart suddenly softened, and most of the resentment in his heart dissipated in an instant.
Ling Yun said again: "The village elder is not in a hurry, we have decided to go with the caravan tomorrow." If you lower the price, you will always be able to sell it. ”
"With the caravan, who allows you to follow the caravan?" the old village chief glared.
Ling Yun said as a matter of course: "I went to the caravan, there were a lot of ordinary people. They can follow, why can't we?"
The old village chief held his forehead with his hand: "That's the slave of the cultivator! Do you think the caravan can be followed casually? What if you get into the gangsters?"
"Ah?!" Ling Yun opened his mouth wide and froze in place, "What then? The caravan will leave tomorrow morning. ”
"Alas......" the old man sighed deeply, "forget it, help people to the end." Tomorrow morning I beg someone to join the caravan, and it will be up to the two of you. ”
It had just dawned, and there were a few remnant stars in the pale cyan sky. Looking from afar, the purple mountain is dark purple, quiet and mysterious.
After a night's rest, the caravan was already ready to go.
"Check all the goods!"
"Are the ropes all tied tightly, and if one falls on the way, it will hit you with a hundred boards. ”
"Hurry up, feed all our black-skinned fat beetles. ”
The cultivators commanded loudly, directing the ordinary slaves up and down. Some of them have a short temper and have a leather whip in their hands, and if they are slow, they go up and smoke it. Some cherish the insects and feed them personally.
"Lord Chen. The old village chief stooped down and saluted one of the deputy leaders of the caravan.
"Oh, Lao Zhang, I'm busy. Tell me something. This cultivator surnamed Chen said.
"That's right, I have two offspring and have engaged in some small business," Before the old village chief could finish speaking, the cultivator surnamed Chen suddenly shouted, "Chen Budong, what are you kid wandering around? Hurry up and feed the winged snake." You expect those slaves to be fed? Your winged snake has swallowed three slaves these days!"
"Yes, my lord. Chen Budong was caught and replied with his head tilted.
The cultivator surnamed Chen didn't let him go, and reprimanded: "How many times have you told me that if you call me the boss of my family in the cottage, you have to call me the deputy leader in the caravan." ”
"Yes, yes, Deputy Chief. Chen Budong replied and ran away.
"This bastard ....... The cultivator surnamed Chen snorted angrily, and then turned to the old village chief, "What did you just say?"
"Your Excellency is wise, exactly. The old village chief hurriedly replied.
"That's right... The cultivator surnamed Chen deliberately groaned.
The old village chief was the one who turned into a cultivator. In order to install one of his own people in this place where the caravan must pass.
Caravanserais, those cottages are the focus of trade, but the ordinary people and villages along the way cannot be missed, and they are also important.
The caravan was crowded and complicated, and many daily necessities were consumed, so they had to be replenished along the way. There were also slaves, sometimes the caravan was in distress, some slaves died, and there was a shortage of manpower, so the caravan had to draw ordinary people from the villages along the way.
Speaking of which, the slaves in the hands of the cultivator surnamed Chen are already a little insufficient, and in the caravan, ordinary people's lives are cheap, and they are just a kind of consumable materials that can speak and move.
"In the future, when I pass through Ziyou Mountain and settle down, I still need Lao Zhang, wouldn't it chill his heart if I didn't agree? It just so happens that I am also short of manpower, but I can't agree so easily. You have to weigh it before you can sell it well. ”
While the cultivator surnamed Chen was thinking about it, a messenger cultivator from a caravan ran over.
He shook a stack of papers in his hand, and shouted as he ran: "Pay attention, new wanted notice, new wanted notice!"
He shouted as he casually attached his hand to the body of a fat black-skinned beetle.
"New wanted warrant? How many bounties are there, bring them to me. "The cultivator surnamed Chen is interested.
"Yes, Deputy Chief. The teleportation cultivator hurriedly handed over one.
The cultivator surnamed Chen said: "Oh, it's a wanted warrant issued by the Li family." As long as the news is correct, it's a thousand spirit stones, so high!"
The cultivator surnamed Chen's eyes lit up and became interested.
There are generally two prices on the wanted warrant, one is the news price and the other is the kill price.
The news price of a thousand spirit stones is often wanted for those people in the Demon Dao who have made a name for themselves. But the portrait on this wanted notice is two young people, both of whom have good facial features, and one is even very beautiful.
A man and a woman, these are two newcomers,
"One is a spirit cultivator, and the other is at the spirit cultivator level. The news price is as high as 1,000 spirit stones, and the killing price is also 5,800 yuan. Tsk, I came to the Li family to hate these two demon cubs very much. Hey... The cultivator surnamed Chen smiled gloatingly, it wasn't the Chen family anyway.
Little did he know that these two demons were already near him.
The old village chief also took advantage of the wanted notice, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
"The world of cultivators is really dangerous, such a beautiful young man turned out to be a criminal demon! I hope they won't come to our village. ”
"Okay, for the sake of your hard work for so many years, I will agree to your request. The cultivator surnamed Chen said.
"Ah, Lord Xie, my lord, I'll call them both here. The old village elder was overjoyed.
The cultivator surnamed Chen waved his hand: "No need, I'm very busy." You ask the two of them to report to Chen Budong. ”
He had no interest in meeting two ordinary people. At the same time, he didn't associate the person in front of him with the wanted warrant in his hand. After all, this is the Li family's wanted warrant, and the Li family village is thousands of miles away. The cultivator surnamed Chen subconsciously felt that his side was very safe.
It's a very common way of thinking. In addition to this, there is also a fluke mentality.
The world is full of living beings, how could these two thieves escape to me? Then my luck is too bad, this is impossible!
People always feel that unfortunate things don't happen to them.
Moreover, there are many wanted warrants, many of which are demonic giants, or extremely vicious, or perverse and vicious, attracting everyone's attention. Like Ling Yun, these two newcomers, a spirit cultivator-level spirit being, what kind of climate can they become?
When Chen Bufu arrived at Lingyun and the others, he didn't think of the wanted warrant at all.
Ling Yun's image has changed greatly, Ling Yun, who has been disfigured, will not mention it, Su Nuan has also looked decent after these days of drills.
Chen Buyi lost interest, especially Ling Yun's appearance made him a little disgusted.
He was only a spiritual cultivator, and Ling Yun had been promoted to a spirit a few days ago.
Chen Budong hurriedly discerned it, and without feeling any cultivator's aura, he summoned an old butler and asked him to arrange the work of Ling Yun and the others.
"What's your name?" asked the old butler.
It was only then that someone asked for their names.
"My name is Loulan, and my mother-in-law is called Confession. Ling Yun said casually.
"Woman?" the old butler looked back and frowned.
He stared at Su Nuan's eyes, and looked at her black and stunned appearance, which was actually called a confession? This Loulan is also ugly enough!
"Women are troublesome. You've got to be careful. Something happened, don't blame the old man for not reminding you!" said the old butler.
"I know. I have a board car here, and the car is a purple maple leaf. My mother-in-law stayed in the car, taking care of the goods, and we didn't want to have more contact with other people. Lingyun said.
"Hmph, it's good to know. ”
The old butler arranged for the two of them to do a manual job of unloading. However, for Ling Yun and Su Nuan, it is simply not worth mentioning. However, Su Nuan was a little tired in order to disguise his panting appearance.
Not far away, several slaves took the opportunity to be lazy and sat around to rest.
The eyes of several people were staring at Ling Yun and the others.
"Brother Qiang, there are two newcomers here. Someone arrived, and they brought private goods! It was a cart of purple maple leaves. A skinny slave said with some excitement.
The exploitation of newcomers who have just joined is already the practice of the caravan elders.
Brother Qiang squatted on the ground and squinted his eyes: "It's here, thin monkey, you go try them first." ”
He was as strong as an ox and had well-developed chest muscles, but he was not reckless.
In this world where cultivators are respected, the bravery of ordinary people is not worth mentioning. He was able to become the central figure in this small circle, and he was naturally a little smart.
The thin monkey sighed, and under the gaze of everyone, walked to Ling Yun's side.
"Brother, where did you come from? Everyone else calls me Brother Monkey, we will do things together in the future, and we should take more care of it. The thin monkey had a smile on his face.
Ling Yun glanced at him and only said one word
"Get out. ”
