Chapter 19: One Singing and One Harmony
According to statistics, more than 60 of the 100 boxes and 5,000 Jinhua fish died in the process of transportation, and the average box could not be rotated. With such a high survival rate, those fish transport teams didn't even dare to think about it before.
The big boss of Abastre looked excited, and took Dary's hand, not knowing what to say.
In the end, Abast paid Dari for ten gold coins each, a total of 50,000 gold coins, not counting the fraction of more than sixty coins. A fish restaurant sells for twenty gold coins, and on the surface, Abast has made a lot of efforts and paid half of the high price, which seems to be a loss. But if he used the previous method of transporting fish, he couldn't buy so many Jinhua fish for 50,000 gold coins, so he didn't lose money.
Darui took the letter of 50,000 gold coins, very satisfied, and watched the workers carefully transport it to the warehouse, Darui suddenly asked curiously.
"Big boss, you paid me such a high price, don't you plan to fight a price war with the competitors in the city?"
Abast looked like he was in his chest, "Jinhua fish is a high-end diet for the rich, these people don't care much about the price, on the contrary, if the price of Jinhua fish is cheap, they will be suspicious, thinking that there will be something wrong with my fish." So I'm not going to sell it at a reduced price. ”
"It makes sense, the aristocrats pay attention to pomp and circumstance in everything they do, and it is true that the price reduction will not have any effect. So what's your strategy?"
Lord Darui may not know that Jinhua fish is not something that can be eaten with money in the imperial capital, and people who do not have a certain status must make an appointment a month in advance if they want to eat Jinhua fish once, otherwise they will not be able to eat it no matter how much money they spend. ”
"Oh, so the last time I came to eat Jinhua fish, I still took advantage of the light of my identity, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten it at all?"
"Hehe, Lord Darui is a hero of the empire, don't say that you occasionally eat a Jinhua fish, even if you send one every day, I don't have a word. By the way, why don't I do it like this?How about having people send a Jinhua fish feast every day?!"
When Darui heard this, he quickly shook his hand, "No need, no need, I have just arrived in the imperial capital now, and I haven't gained a firm foothold yet, so I should be more low-key." Jinhua fish is free, when I want to eat it, just go to your restaurant. Besides, if you eat too much delicious food, you can't eat ordinary food. ”
"Ahh ”
Just as the two were discussing how to suppress their competitors in the future, a team of No. 100 people in the distance rushed over with great momentum.
Darui took a closer look, and it was the expected second prince Lannad. At this time, Lannard's face was extremely ugly, especially when he saw the skylark standing on the side, he was even more angry that his eyes were almost on fire.
Although Abast was not afraid of the second prince, he was a little puzzled when he saw that he had brought someone over.
Darui waved his hand at him, "Big boss, don't be surprised, these people are here to find me, nothing to do with you." Just leave them to me. ”
He slowly walked forward a few steps, blocking in front of the second prince and his party.
"How can His Royal Highness the Second Prince have time to come here? ”
"Darigaia, don't tell me so useless, let me ask you, what's the matter with the Skylark?"
Dari spread his hands out, his face full of inexplicable expressions, "Skylark, what's wrong with it, is there something wrong?"
When the second prince saw that Darui was still pretending to be garlic, he was angry, "Don't pretend with me, the sky lark is now my magical beast, and you want to go back without my consent, what is this called! I want to go to my father and sue you!"
"I said, Your Highness, are you wrong again, when will I go to your mansion to ask for Baiyun? Or will your subordinates see that I snatched Baiyun back?"
"This ......"
The second prince's face stiffened and he was stuck.
"You...... The chains that locked the Skylark were opened this morning, didn't you make the hell?"
This question is not only not imposing, but there are many problems, and it is clearly a handle for people to grasp. Sure enough, Dari had been waiting for him for a long time, and his face became serious when he heard this.
"Your Highness, if you catch a traitor, you will catch a thief, and if you take a thief, who will see me, or if one of my people comes to you to open the chains of the white clouds? If he can say it and it is reasonable, I will never say a word, and I will personally go to His Majesty to ask for the guilt! If he can't say it, or make it up, hum, Your Majesty's sword is very sharp!"
As he spoke, Da Rui put his right hand on the long sword on his waist, and the second prince looked at it, it was really the Zhan Wu Sword given to Da Rui by Emperor Shengqi. He never expected that Darui would actually carry the Zhanwu Sword with him, and this would be troublesome. As Dary said, if there is no real evidence, let alone moving Dari, even he himself may be unlucky.
"Damn, how could this kid carry that sword with him, my luck is really back!"
It's not his luck, but Dari has long expected that he will find it, and deliberately brought the sword over.
"What's going on, Second Highness, is there such a person? Let him come out and confront me?"
"You...... If the Skylark has nothing to do with you, why did it come to you and work for you?"
"Second Highness, I have to ask yourself about this matter, I think you should know best!"
"What? I know best? What do I know? You tell me clearly. ”
"Alas......"
Darry made a sigh and pointed to the huge white cloud next to him.
"When you asked Bai Yun to leave, you promised to take good care of it in front of everyone, but it has only been a few days, and you have actually starved Bai Yun a lot and lost a lot of weight. I've heard that not only did you lock it up and keep it from flying freely, but you also didn't feed it, it was often hungry and uncomfortable. ”
"The most unforgivable thing is that the Wanmu Crystal you once promised has not been fulfilled until now, right? Alas...... With a master like you, it's no wonder that it broke free from its chains and ran out to find me, Bai Yun is really pitiful!"
After saying this, Bai Yun immediately cooperated with his big watery eyes and looked at Darui very aggrievedly, this expression was really realistic, and even Abbast, an old oilman in the business world, was a little touched.
The second prince watched the pair of masters and servants sing and drink, and they were very faceless, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Smack"
Lanard, who was forced to go down the stairs, suddenly threw his hand and gave a big mouth to the man next to him.
"It's all you, didn't I let you take full charge of the Skylark's diet? You actually dared to cut corners for me, saying! Did you secretly deduct the money you used to buy food for the Skylark to gamble?"
"Ah, Your Highness, I don't, I'm all ...... according to you."
"Poof"
The sharp sword slashed across the left hand of the man, and a bloody severed hand fell, and the terrifying wound on the broken wrist spurted out blood like a spring.
"Ah......h
The subordinate clenched his wrists and screamed, and his body rolled to the ground in severe pain.
"If you make a mistake and dare to quibble, you are really hopeless. Come on, carry him down for me, and when this bastard is healed, press him out of the city to move bricks, and never set foot in the gate of the imperial capital again. ”
"Yes......"
Several of his men ran over and dragged the hapless guy away, and everyone present could see that it was Lanard looking for the bottom of the stairs. It's a pity that the kid was not clever enough and didn't cooperate well, so he broke a hand for nothing.
But just for the sake of his own face, he abolished one of his hands, Lannad is really not the first loser of the empire, he doesn't understand the importance of people's hearts at all, if he continues like this, it will be a matter of time before everyone betrays his relatives.
The workers of Abastor were all shocked by the cold-blooded style of the second prince, but Dari, who had experienced the bloody scenes on the battlefield, did not take this seriously at all. On the battlefield, don't say that you lose a hand, even if you are torn apart, it is not uncommon.
Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Darui suddenly smiled, "Wonderful, really wonderful, the means of His Royal Highness the Second Highness are really ...... It's majestic. It was an eye-opener for me to say that there was a misunderstanding between us. Now that Baiyun is here, whether His Royal Highness can take it away or not depends on your ability, and I will not stop it. ”
"Okay! That's what you said!"
Lannard strode over, looking up at the white clouds, desperately squeezing out a kind smile on his face.
"Bai Yun, come back with me, I promise that the previous thing will never happen again, I will satisfy you as much food as you want to eat in the future, how about it?
"Really? Do you really care if I'm full?"
"Of course, the previous thing was caused by that kid just now, and I have already punished him, you can see it. Whatever you want in the future, I will satisfy you!"
When Bai Yun heard this, his eyes showed a happy look.
"Then I want Wanmu Crystal, can you also get it for me?"
"This ......"
"Hmph, look, as soon as you talk about the key things, you retreat. What I said just now is definitely a lie to me again, you go, I won't believe you anymore. I decided to follow Darry, he's a lot more honest than you!"
Lannard's face was flushed with words, and he felt the urge to burrow into the cracks in the ground, trying to suppress the anger that was about to erupt, and a smile on his face that was not much better than crying.
"Does Darigaia have the Ten Thousand Wood Crystal for you? I don't believe it!"
At this time, Darry leaned over at the right time, took out a peanut-sized green crystal from his pocket, and shook it in front of Lanard's eyes.
"Second Highness, you're really right, I do have a small piece of Wanmu Crystal here. It's a pity that that's all there is, this kind of crystal is too rare, otherwise, even if I disobey His Majesty's order, I won't give Baiyun to you. ”
After saying that, before Lannad could see it clearly, Dari shook his hand and threw the small piece of Wanmu Crystal to Bai Yun.
Bai Yun hurriedly opened his mouth and swallowed the crystal that was not even a sesame seed to it like a tiger pounced. Lannard looked at Darry suspiciously, then looked up at Baiyun, suspicious of the crystal just now.
"You two can't gang up to lie to me, do you?"
"Second Highness, you are really very imaginative, what good is it for us to lie to you? Besides, it's really Wanmu Crystal, I don't believe you look at it carefully. ”
Darry pointed upward, and Lannard looked up, his face immediately changing. I saw that Bai Yun's huge body was suddenly wrapped in a thick green fog, which was so thick that Dari's superhuman vision couldn't see through it, let alone Lanard.
In Lanard's eyes, the white clouds seemed to be enveloped by a large forest at once, and before he could recover from his surprise, an ethereal sensation came out of the thick fog, and then the green fog rolled violently and began to converge in one place.
A deafening roar sounded, and all the dense fog was sucked into the mouth by the white clouds, and a powerful sky realm emanated, and those who had a certain strength present immediately recognized that this was the power of the realm.
"How is it possible! Demonic beasts can actually have a spiritual realm?"
"It's really a spiritual realm, and it's very powerful, it's incredible!"
"It's worthy of being one of the legendary Quartet Demonic Beasts, it's really different!"
All kinds of discussions continue, although Lannad's own strength is very rubbish, but as a member of the royal family, he has seen the masters of the sea, and he is naturally no stranger to the spiritual realm necessary for all masters. So at the same time that Bai Yunshi showed his spiritual realm, he recognized it.
Seeing his expression beside him, Darui laughed in his heart, and then pretended to be surprised and ran to Baiyun's feet.
"Second Highness, I don't think you can take out the Wanmu Crystal, Baiyun will not have any future with you, I have decided that from now on it will no longer belong to you, and it will return to me!"
"What? you...... If you want to snatch this demonic beast with a spiritual realm from me, don't even think about it, it's mine, no one wants to snatch it away!
Lannard's eyes were red, what is the concept of this demonic beast with a spiritual realm, it is a guarantee to be able to evolve to the ultimate eighth level. In the ancient legend of the Sanyuan Continent, there is an eighth-level great demonic beast that can destroy a country, the Dark Smoke Evil Dragon, which was originally a two-winged flying dragon with a spiritual realm, and slowly evolved. Now that another demonic beast with a spiritual realm has appeared, how could Lannard let go?
