Rong Bao Zhai. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few days, the whole Rong Bao Zhai has been busy like a pot of boiling water, gurgling and tumbling.

With the efforts of Rong Bao Zhai and the royal families, the plague was finally brought under control.

Even though it was late at night, Shang Mu'an was not yet underwater.

His study was brightly lit, and several of the housekeepers were updating him on the latest information.

"How is the plague under control?" Shang Mu'an asked.

One of the youngest treasurers said: "Among the seven kingdoms, Kunlun Kingdom, Penglai Kingdom, Yunjian country is located in a remote area, the plague has just spread to these three countries has been controlled; Baiyue country is too large, and there are many miasma swamps, the plague spreads slowly, and it is difficult to control, fortunately, the Baiyue royal family actively cooperates, and the plague has also been controlled; the old king of Chaoge country has just died, and the 13-year-old prince inherits the throne, it is when the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and even some ministers want to use this plague to kill the little king, fortunately, the little king is alert, and preemptively get rid of the dissidents, this series of events delayed the control of the plague, so that the plague spread in the Chaoge country, fortunately, the little king made up for the loss of sheep and actively cooperatedAt present, the plague in the country of Chaoge has also been controlled. ”

The young shopkeeper's eyes were bloodshot, and he had obviously not slept for a long time.

Shang Mu'an said again: "The plague of Hei Zelie is basically under control, I know this. What is the situation in Akabane Province now?"

The young shopkeeper continued: "Our people have brought the elixir to cure the plague to the border of the Red Feather Country, as long as the Red Feather Royal Family releases our people, and then severely punishes the Blue Dragon and Purple Dragon caravans that have seized our territory, the pill can be sent to the Red Feather Country within a day." ”

"How many people have died in total from this plague?"

The young shopkeeper said, "As of yesterday, at least 250,000 mages had died, and the situation in the Akabane country was the worst, with 120,000 mages dead in this country alone. ”

Shang Mu'an sighed, these busy shopkeepers didn't know that this plague was a play directed and acted by Rong Bao Zhai.

The young shopkeeper also sighed, "It's a pity, we go out tens of thousands of pills every day, but we don't make any money, if we don't get the rewards of the royal families, I'm afraid we will have to lose money." ”

Shang Mu'an patted the young shopkeeper on the shoulder, signaled him not to be impatient, and asked the rest of the shopkeepers: "Except for the pill, can other businesses be affected?"

An older shopkeeper said: "Thanks to the free distribution of pills, Rong Bao Zhai has earned a good reputation, and the mage who was treated is grateful to our Rong Bao Zhai, and after picking up a life, even if there is nothing at hand, he has to buy a few things, which is a gratitude." ”

"But it's not, whether it's weapons, magic robes, magic weapons...... The income of these businesses has increased several times. ”

"In the long run, as long as we Rong Bao Zhai continue to maintain the previous Tong Suo without deception, these treated mages as 'loyal consumers', will not only continue to consume in Rong Bao Zhai, but also spare no effort to recommend Rong Bao Zhai to relatives and friends around us, we have made a lot of money this time!"

......

Shang Mu'an patted the young shopkeeper on the shoulder again, "This is called putting a long line to catch a big fish, what we do is a long-term business, and a good reputation is much more useful than the immediate benefits." ”

Everyone was talking, and a maid came into the house to report: "Sikong Haoyue Gongzi is here, saying that he is looking for you in an emergency." ”

Shang Mu'an smiled slightly, "You've worked hard, let's stop here today." ”

Then he said to the maid, "Let him come in." ”

Sikong Haoyue had also seen Shang Mu'an before, but he only remembered that it was a rather handsome man, a few years older than himself. At that time, Chen Shu had not yet appeared in his life, and Shang Mu'an was only a businessman, and he did not have the identity of "Chen Shu's friend", so naturally he failed to attract Sikong Haoyue's attention.

Now that he sees Shang Mu'an again, Sikong Haoyue can't help but take a few more looks.

Sikong Haoyue's attitude was very humble, after all, he was just a businessman.

He got up from the most comfortable chair in the study, and invited Sikong Haoyue to sit on the chair, and personally picked up the teapot and said that he wanted to replace it with the best pot of tea-how could the tea he drank not be the best? This act was nothing more than the greatest expression of humility.

Smart people are not scary, smart people are scary.

For such a person, it is best not to play any tricks, so Sikong Haoyue said straight to the point: "I need some elixir to cure the plague." ”

"No problem. ”

Contrary to Sikong Haoyue's expectations, Shang Mu'an agreed very happily, and he didn't even hint that Sikong Haoyue owed him a favor.

"How many pills do you need?" Shang Mu'an asked.

"Ten grains. ”

"I would venture to ask, could one of these ten pills be prepared for the Frost of the Grand Princess of the Red Feather Kingdom?"

The reason why Sikong Haoyue said that he needed ten pills was that he didn't want Shang Mu'an to see that he was asking for pills for Frost, Shang Mu'an asked generously, and he admitted that it was not, and he denied it.

Without waiting for him to answer, Shang Mu'an continued: "Don't get me wrong, if one of the ten pills you want is for Princess Frost, I will rest assured, if not, I would like to ask you to take one more pill and send it to Princess Frost, I heard that she was infected with the plague, but unfortunately the Red Feather Kingdom has not welcomed Rong Bao Zhai recently, and our pills can't be shipped." No matter what misunderstanding Princess Frost has about Rong Bao Zhai, I still hope she is safe and healthy. ”

Sikong Haoyue frowned, "Boss Shang is really a good person, Princess Frost squeezed out Rong Bao Zhai everywhere, and even drove your business out of the Red Feather Country, but you are still willing to save her?"

"I'm not a good person, but the bell must be tied to the bell, it was the frost princess who squeezed Rong Bao Zhai out of the Red Feather Country, and she can only invite Rong Bao Zhai back, otherwise everyone can't come down this step, right?"

Sikong Haoyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's really good tea!"

Putting down the teacup, he continued: "But what if I don't send her the elixir? If Frost dies, no matter whether Rong Bao Zhai is wrong or not, the queen of the Red Feather Kingdom will be angry with you, you should know the power of the assassins of the Red Feather Country, if you really want to destroy your Rong Bao Zhai, the Red Feather Country is not impossible." ”

Shang Mu'an raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that the prince still has this plan." ”

"Not bad. ”

"I'm a businessman, and businessmen have never been profitable, so I don't know what benefits Rong Bao Zhai has done to the prince?"

"Rong Bao Zhai fell, and Chen Shu lost a friend with strong capital, which is the benefit. ”

"It makes sense, there are only one or two in the world who can be regarded as a friend by Chen Shu, and Rong Bao Zhai should be regarded as one. If Rong Bao Zhai falls, although it can make Chen Shu less convenient, but if you want to hinder him, I don't think it may be, Prince Haoyue's deal is not cost-effective. ”

"I learned from you, in order to regain the trade of the Red Feather Country, you spread the plague and killed more than 200,000 mages, is this deal worth it?"

Shang Mu'an was stunned, he felt ashamed!

He is a businessman, and he dares to sell anything, except for human life. He still remembers that when his father died, he called Rong Bao Zhai, who was beginning to take shape, to him and told him three things that he must not do.

Do not participate in political affairs.

Thou shalt not murder anyone.

Do not act with the same force.

After getting to know Chen Shu, the three rules were broken. The thought of tens of thousands of mages dying of the plague every day sent chills down his back.

Why did he get on the thief ship because of Chen Shu's sentence "Those who become big things are not informal"?

Sikong Haoyue saw that Shang Mu'an was shaken, and continued: "However, you still have one choice, and that is to cooperate with me. ”

"Did you want me to hand over Chen Shu to you?" Shang Mu'an asked.

"No, no, no, Chen Shu is not a person who is at the mercy. Sikong Haoyue waved his hand, "As long as you can tell me Chen Shu's movements at the right time, it will do me a great favor." ”

"The right time?"

"Like now. ”

Shang Mu'an smiled, "So you lost Chen Shuhe?"

Sikong Haoyue smiled a little embarrassedly, and Shang Mu'an said: "My people have also lost contact with Chen Shu, but he must still be in Kunlun Kingdom." ”

"How so?"

"Because he wants to get the Kunlun Kingdom and sit firmly on this territory, he has some capital to compete with you, otherwise no matter how powerful he is, he is just a rat that you chase and hide. ”

There is some truth to that. ”

"I can also tell you the news, the Kunlun Kingdom has secretly formed a mage army......"

Sikong Haoyue interrupted: "I already know this, Shui Rujing wants to compete with the great general Long Quanjun, his idea is well known, and it is not new to form a mage army." ”

"You know one thing, you don't know the other. On the surface, Chen Shu took refuge in Shui Rujing, but secretly, Shui Rujing has always been used by Chen Shu. Chen Shu co-opted Shui Rujing and Long Quanjun at the same time, and formed the mage army to deal with the Heizelie Empire in the end, so if the king and you have already moved the idea of sending troops to attack Kunlun Kingdom, this plan is still good to put it down, and when Shui Rujing and Longquan Jun make a move on each other, wouldn't it be better for you to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Sikong Haoyue laughed, pointed at Shang Mu'an and said, "You are good, you are good." ”

Shang Mu'an smiled and said, "So, is Prince Haoyue willing to send a pill to Princess Frost?"

Without waiting for Sikong Haoyue to answer, Shang Mu'an said again: "If Haoyue Gongzi doesn't agree, I have to send someone to send it personally, after all, Rong Bao Zhai has been operating in Chibane Country for so many years, and it is impossible to kill them all at once." But in this way, the big favor that Haoyue Gongzi could have sold to Akabane Country was about to come to naught. ”

Sikong Haoyue frowned and said, "Do I want to rely on you to sell me favors?"

"Of course not, I'm just thinking about you, Prince. ”

Sikong Haoyue took the pill and just left, Jin Ziduo walked in from outside the house, "Does the owner really want to cooperate with Sikong Haoyue?"

"Of course not. ”

"Didn't Chen Shu hope that Sikong Haoyue would attack Kunlun as soon as possible? He had already laid out the situation, and also considered our safety, so that everyone in the caravan would withdraw one after another. But you...... Why did you just persuade Sikong Haoyue not to attack Kunlun?"

"Whatever I advise, he'll listen to it. Sikong Haoyue is suspicious, the more I persuade him not to send troops, the more I am afraid he will send troops as soon as possible, this is what I discussed with Chen Shu, don't worry. ”
