Volume 1 The Twelve Holy Cities Chapter 193 Is There a Problem with the Grain Capital Shanggu?

A misunderstanding was solved, but the two sides were happy next, after eating, the shopkeeper really led everyone down to the town as promised, Wu Yuanming and Lelina followed to the town mayor to discuss the purchase of food, and the others were ready to go around the town.

Everyone walked down the steps carved in the wall, and the steps more than ten meters high were like entering the world from the sky. At this time, it was dinner time, and every household lit a cooking smoke, a new atmosphere of paradise.

The town looks small from a height of more than ten meters, but when it actually walks, it has the size of the Xicheng sub-district, even if the feet of the warrior are fast, it takes more than twenty minutes to reach the mayor's mansion.

Entering the mansion, the mayor Tao Ming had already been waiting in the mansion, and greeted him warmly after seeing Lailina and Wu Yuanming:

"Sit down quickly, I heard that you are coming from a city called Xicheng to buy a large amount of food, and this is true."

After Wu Yuanming and Lelina sat down, Wu Yuanming said:

"Of course, there is a shortage of food in the city, and the principal specially sent the two of us out to go to the grain capital Shanggu to purchase grain, but we passed by halfway, and after staying in the inn on the ground in Guizhen, I learned that Guizhen is also doing grain trading, so I don't know how to sell the grain here, how much?"

Tao Ming listened to Wu Yuanming's question and did not answer in a hurry, but said:

"The name of the grain capital Shanggu has indeed spread all over the country, and there are many people who come to purchase grain from all over the country, there are cities, and there are also small groups, the grain capital Shanggu is the overlord of this generation, and the strength is there, so naturally there is nothing to worry about, but our small place has to ask more, forgive me for being lonely, where does your city come from, since you buy bulk grain, why didn't your city appear?"

Wu Yuanming's caution towards Tao Ming is understandable, because to put it mildly, he is also guarding Tao Ming carefully at this time, so Wu Yuanming said:

"Our Xicheng is from the academy-type mobile city under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Holy City, and the principal Bai Zhenlong, the reason why the city did not come this time is also something that cannot be helped. A few days ago, it rained heavily in the Sunset Canyon, and the city was blocked in the canyon when it encountered a landslide in the process of passing through the canyon, and the road was being cleared at this time, so we were sent out to buy food. ”

"Oh." Tao Ming sighed, and looked at Zhao Yueze, who looked like a master sitting on the side.

I saw Zhao Yueze quickly flip through the booklet in his hand, and sure enough, he found the name of Xicheng under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Holy City.

After Zhao Yueze nodded slightly at Tao Ming, Tao Ming immediately smiled and said to Wu Yuanming:

"I see, I believe that Guicheng will be able to clear the path immediately, as for the grain stock, although we can't compare with the grain capital Shanggu, but it is enough for Guicheng to consume in a short time, as for the price, it is easy to say."

After speaking, Tao Ming looked at Wu Yuanming, obviously wanting to know Wu Yuanming's specific purchase quantity before talking about the price.

Wu Yuanming was not polite, and directly reported the minimum purchase amount given to him by Bai Zhenlong: "3 million catties." ”

"3 million catties!" Tao Ming was taken aback and repeated.

"Yes, at least 3 million catties." Wu Yuanming affirmed.

"At least 3 million catties!" Tao Ming repeated again.

Wu Yuanming nodded and did not speak.

Tao Ming sat back in his seat and sorted out his thoughts for a while and said:

"The only one that can provide 3 million catties of grain is the grain capital Shanggu, we can provide up to 1 million catties of grain here, the price, give you a whole price, how about 10,000 gold coins?"

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

This time it was Wu Yuanming's turn to be surprised, this price was nearly half cheaper than the price of Shanggu in the grain capital, Wu Yuanming glanced sideways and looked at Lailina, seeing that Lailina also showed surprise, Wu Yuanming nodded and said:

"Okay, since Mayor Tao is so sincere, then how about we pay a deposit of three thousand gold coins first, and then settle the payment after the grain arrives?"

"No problem." Tao Ming said happily, this is also a big deal for Qianxun Town.

"Now that the discussion has been decided, how about we take our leave and come back tomorrow to complete the deal?"

With that, Wu Yuanming and Lelina stood up and prepared to leave.

"No problem, nice to work with." Tao Ming said, got up and shook hands with Wu Yuanming, and sent the two to the door of the mansion.

When he was about to leave the gate of the mansion, Tao Ming suddenly said in a low and serious voice: "Isn't it that the two of you know the grain capital Shanggu?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Yuanming hummed strangely, and Lelina's mind quickly thought of Lu Feihan.

Subconsciously, Lelina asked, "Is there anything wrong with the grain capital Shanggu?" ”

Saying that, Lelina looked at Tao Ming, but saw that Tao Ming, who had a solemn expression at the last moment, had changed his expression at this time:

"Of course there is no problem, the overlord of this place, it is not understandable to be a little arrogant, but it is still necessary to understand it carefully."

After saying this, the three of them had already walked to the door of the mansion, and Lailina wanted to ask again, but Tao Ming didn't want to say anything, so he sent the guest away.

Until the next day, when the two sides were trading, Leilina found an opportunity to ask a few times, and Tao Ming seemed to have forgotten the sudden reminder last night, and avoided answering Leilina's inquiries.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Outside the patrol car, Zhu Yuan and Lailina were on foot, guarding on both sides of the transport car, Zhu Yuan saw that Lailina looked like she was in a state of despair, and asked.

After hesitating for a while, Lelina said Tao Ming's strange behavior when she left last night, and after finishing speaking, she said as if talking to herself:

"I finally feel that there is a problem here, is it the problem of the grain capital Shanggu or is there a problem with this Tao Ming, I don't understand?"

After listening to Lelina's description, Zhu Yuan had no clue after thinking for a while, so he could only say:

"Maybe we think too much, whether it's Lu Feihan or Tao Ming, it's just a personal behavior, and it doesn't have a special meaning, but no matter what, it's right to be cautious after all."

"Yes." Lelina nodded, letting go of the tangled in her heart.

Without saying a word all the way, the two teams escorted the transport vehicle day and night, and finally escorted the food security to Xicheng on the third day.

At this time, the clean-up work of the rockslide has been in full swing, and the east and west urban areas rushed to the mountains and rocks in the urban area to pile up two rockeries, and the soil was tiled, ready to be developed into grain fields. The two furnace pillars that had been washed away were also re-erected, and the city wall once again covered the entire city.

After Bai Zhenlong got the news, he personally came to Beicheng District to welcome everyone, and after inquiring and learning that the grain was purchased from Qianxun Town at a low price, Bai Zhenlong was overjoyed, and when he was about to deliver the balance to the other party, he promised to personally visit the mayor Tao Ming.

After completing the task, Zhu Yuan returned to the Yongxu branch of the inner city commercial street, and had a rare calm time, of course, at this time, the plaque on the Yongxu branch had been replaced by the Yongxu shop, which became the general store of the Yongxu business, and the semicolon blossomed and landed in the four urban districts.

Liu Yongxu is busy with the division of the city, and Yongxu's shop rarely comes here, in fact, Zhu Yuan has become the actual shopkeeper here. Of course, in the days when Zhu Yuan was away, he became Zhou Li'er's house, and Liu Wenlin was transferred by Liu Yongxu and became the shopkeeper in a semicolon.

As for Mo Qingping, Liu Yongxu also wanted to give him a semicolon and let him be the shopkeeper, but Mo Qingping's ambition was not here, and he was not ready to leave here with Zhu Yuan.

The 15-year-old Mo Qingping is now a martial artist who is still a nascent of strength, and even Zhu Yuan didn't expect that Mo Qingping would be a little super genius, coupled with his hard work, in less than a year, there were already faint signs of breaking through the early stage.

Zhu Yuan stepped into the door, and Zhou Li'er stood behind the counter boredly looking at Mo Qingping who was cultivating in the courtyard, and the two new buddies and apprentices were wiping the Force weapons that had been placed.

Now that the Yongxu Firm has made a name for itself, this Xicheng has become a well-deserved leader in the Force weapon line, so all the high-quality and perfect-level Force weapons that this general number sells now are high-quality, perfect-level Force weapons.

"Shopkeeper." The two guys were still separated from Zhu Yuan, and when they saw Zhu Yuan come in, they greeted respectfully.

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuan snorted, for some reason, Zhu Yuan and these two guys couldn't give birth to the kind of family-like feelings for Zhou Li'er, Mo Qingping, and even Liu Wenlin.

"You're back, shopkeeper!"

Zhou Li'er was carried out by the words of the two guys, looked up and saw Zhu Yuan coming in, and hurriedly shouted in surprise, and then shouted to Mo Qingping, who was still cultivating outside:

"Xiao Qingping, your master is back, put away the set of punches you fought eight hundred times, come over for me to watch the door, and I'll cook."

Mo Qingping's set of boxing is still the body forging boxing method that Zhu Yuan taught him at the beginning, hearing Zhou Li'er's shout, Mo Qingping unhurriedly finished the set, and after finishing work and exhaling, he ran to the hall and said happily:

"Master, you're finally back, it's been almost a year, you often go out, and you haven't taught me well, you can stay a few more days after completing the task this time, it's time to teach me something else."

Zhu Yuan patted Mo Qingping's head with a smile, and said angrily: "Practice your body forging fist with peace of mind, before you were less than 15 years old and practiced strength in vain, and you hurt the fundamentals, otherwise maybe you are still a super genius, this set of boxing with the prescription for you, I hope to make it up for you." ”

was said by Zhu Yuan, Mo Qingping was not angry, and laughed twice and said:

"Master, I think it's pretty good now, I heard that those geniuses in the city are just like me."

Hearing Mo Qingping say this, Zhu Yuan had to say with a tiger face:

"What do you know, there are super geniuses above geniuses, and geniuses can have a reputation within a city, and when you get to the holy city, you can grab a lot of them, only super geniuses can make a name for themselves in the holy city, and only super geniuses have the hope of becoming holy, don't you want to be holy?"

"Yes." Mo Qingping stuck out his tongue and hurriedly said, and then asked Zhu Yuan: "Master, you are so powerful, you must also be a super genius." ”

"I'm ......" Zhu Yuan stretched his voice and said mysteriously: "Do you know that there is a demon above the super genius?" ”

"Really? Is it? Mo Qingping became interested, pulled Zhu Yuan and asked again and again, "Master, Master, tell me about it." ”

Zhu Yuan rarely had no task, and when he had nothing to do, he was ready to chat with Mo Qingping about the outside world, and the two guys in the store saw off the guests at this time, and also listened to Zhu Yuan with their ears open:

"Since the invention of the cultivation method of strength, people have gradually discovered that qualifications determine the speed and ultimate height of people's cultivation, and what is generally popular in the Holy Cities is to divide people's cultivation qualifications into five categories: ordinary, excellent, genius, super genius and demon."

"People with ordinary qualifications may spend their whole lives and can only stay in the internal strength section forever, and cannot achieve external strength; And people with excellent qualifications can generally become martial artists in the outer strength stage as long as they are willing to cultivate, but it is difficult to go further;

But for geniuses, the transformation of strength is their goal, some days can achieve their goals, and some can't; But for super geniuses, the Transformation Stage is just a step for them, the final sprint of the Climbing Sage; As for demons, they can also be encountered in various holy cities, and as long as there is no accident, they will become saints. ”

"Then Master, you will definitely be able to become a saint." Mo Qingping listened to Zhu Yuan's introduction and immediately said happily.

"I'm ......" Zhu Yuan's words didn't come out, it was really a bit rough on his road, and he was still wandering on the early stage of Huajin over and over again.

"Shopkeeper, isn't diligence able to make up for the shortcomings?" A guy named Watson in the store said after hesitating.

Zhu Yuan looked at Watson, who was younger than Mo Qingping, and said with an encouraging tone

"There is also a saying that diligence can make up for clumsiness, for example, a person with ordinary qualifications, if he cultivates diligently, he can also reach the external strength stage and catch up with people with excellent qualifications."

Sure enough, Watson was happy to hear it and said, "That's great." ”

After all, in this era, who doesn't have a dream of being a warrior.
