Chapter 29: Three Choices
"Qi Dongyang is a hall master of the Kunpeng Gang in Xinghai City, and it is said that he has the support of a senior elder, although he is only a hall master, his influence in the gang is not small......" Yan Pengyu explained Qi Dongyang's identity to Canghu.
Canghu frowned and listened carefully, although he had always been in Dongling Village, he was not the kind of person who was closed-minded, and he still had some knowledge of some things in Xinghai City. Xinghai City is the main city of this area, and it is also the county seat of Donghai County, and the foundation of the Yan family is in this Xinghai City. The Kunpeng Gang is a well-known gang organization in Xinghai City. Although the hall master is only a middle-level leader among them, but a senior elder, it must be a high-level powerhouse.
"Brother, I'm afraid I'm the one who has involved you this time. Yan Pengyu sighed, from the attitude of the bald Asa, it is not difficult to see that there is no respect for him, the person in charge of the caravan, and this is obviously abnormal, if there is no Qi Dongyang's attitude behind this, it is impossible. When I decided to send out the caravan in advance, the resistance in the family and the number of guards that were originally sufficient became insufficient for various reasons, and I had to hire outsiders. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there is a reason behind this.
Yan Pengyu is not afraid of Qi Dongyang, but now that the caravan is outside, he needs the strength of the ten guards led by Qi Dongyang, which makes him unable to tear his face with Qi Dongyang, after all, the road back also needs Qi Dongyang's guards, and it is impossible for Dongling Village to draw any strength at present.
"Brother Yan, even without you, I'm afraid it will be the same result. Canghu smiled and said, the so-called wealth is moving, and the value of an intact Cadigo animal skin determines that such a thing may happen. Unless all the villagers of Dongling Village are tight-lipped, sooner or later it will be known to outsiders. Moreover, Lin Bin has not heard from Lin Bin these days, if it weren't for the existence of a big crisis where jackals might come at any time, I am afraid that in Dongling Village, the question of the ownership of this animal skin will also come to the surface - although everyone does not know the specific market price of this animal skin, it does not prevent them from knowing the well-known common sense that fierce animal skins are more expensive than ordinary beast skins.
Even if Yan Pengyu didn't need this animal skin, he would not agree to sell the animal skin to Qi Dongyang without Lin Bin's nod and permission.
"Brother, you have to strengthen your guard here, the reputation of the Kunpeng Gang has not been very good over the years, you have to beware of them secretly doing it. Yan Pengyu thought for a while. Ten blue gold coins is also a huge amount of money for mercenaries like Bald Aso. Under the desire for profit, anything can be done.
"Brother, will you be okay on the way back?" asked Canghu.
"As long as I don't have this Cadigo animal skin, Qi Dongyang won't do anything to me. Yan Pengyu sneered, no matter what, he is still the head of the Yan family's business outside, and moving him is to sweep the face of the Yan family, if there is no big interest in this, Qi Dongyang will not do such a stupid thing.
"I'll talk to him when Lin Bin comes back, he shouldn't value this Cadigo's hide. If we can survive the gnolls, I'll give you a ride. Canghu said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Xinghai City. Yan Pengyu hesitated for a moment and said, "After the transaction of the goods, there should still be some space on the carriage......
Canghu shook his head and said, "Now if they leave, the hearts of the entire village will be scattered. Moreover, they went to the city, and they didn't have to rely on you to feed them. Life and death are up to you. "Living in Xinghai City is not an easy thing for ordinary people, and villagers who have no skills can only be reduced to hard laborers and beggars when they get there. Although Yan Pengyu is his friend, he has no obligation to support "idlers" for his family.
The two of them said as they went to the trading place, there is still a lot of work today, and many people have to work overtime in order for the caravan to set off tomorrow.
On the way, Ji Zhongmin stopped the two, Yan Pengyu introduced the two, and walked forward. Ji Zhongmin and Canghu talked for a while, shook their heads regretfully, and turned to leave.
"How's the talk?" Qi Dongyang asked as he looked at Ji Zhongmin, who came back empty-handed.
Ji Zhongmin smiled bitterly: "That guy said very clearly, the owner is not in the village, so whether it is us or Yan Pengyu, no matter how high the price is, he will not sell it." If we want to buy it, we will wait for the owner to come back from Ashan. Moreover, he also hinted to me that Yan Pengyu's old guy's bid was only higher than ours!"
"Oh, you said that what he said is true or false, don't you want to use this to raise the price?" Qi Dongyang pondered for a moment. Although Cadigo is a fierce beast, even if it is intact fur, the price of ten blue gold coins is considered a premium. After all, compared to other fierce beasts, its combat power ranked low, and its number was relatively large. In a large group of gnolls, there could be one hundred and eighty cadigos.
Ji Zhongmin shook his head and said, "Judging from what I know, what he said should be true. ”
Qi Dongyang raised his eyebrows, this result was somewhat unexpected to him, in his opinion, a small mountain man on the edge of Mount Ashan, let alone ten blue gold coins, is a few gold coins, for him is a considerable wealth, as soon as he proposes it, he will not take the initiative to sell it to himself. Unexpectedly, he didn't sell it for such a reason.
Qi Dongyang pondered for a moment, looked up and asked Ji Zhongmin, "Then what do you think we are going to do next?"
Ji Zhongmin smiled and said: "The most conservative plan, leave someone to keep an eye on here, and wait for the person named Lin Bin to come back and ask for it, but I don't recommend you to choose." ”
"Hmm!" you continued. Qi Dongyang nodded and said, the initiative is not in his hands, and things are easy to become passive, not his style of acting.
"The second plan is to find a way to destroy it, an intact Cadigo animal skin Yan Peng Yuken spent a lot of money to buy, but what if the animal skin is missing the beast's head or a leg?"
Qi Dongyang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's a pity to destroy it." "Xinghai City does not border orc settlements, and an intact adult Cadigo skin is quite rare. And this animal skin is not only needed by Yan Pengyu, but also by people in Xinghai City.
"There's only one way. Ji Zhongmin was not surprised and continued, "Take what Canghu can't refuse!"
