Volume XI, Chapter 49
Although the three countries of Tiaoxingguo, Douxingguo, and Pleiades knew about this, they all strictly forbade it, and doubled down on the treatment of the soldiers guarding the customs, but it seemed to be in vain, because the interests involved were too great, and every merchant had to pay a 'handling fee' back and forth, so it was left to the Tiaoxing Kingdom, the Douxing Kingdom, and the No matter how forbidden these three countries are, they can't stop the merchants' money offensive, but the West Star Country does not refuse to come, because foreign merchants can buy weapons at a higher price, so the West Star Country welcomes foreign merchants who enter, and the merchants buy weapons directly from the West Star Country, which is better than in the Tiaoxing Country, the Douxing Country, The three countries of the Pleiades are much cheaper to buy, although the handling fee for customs clearance is a little more, but this is insignificant compared to the profit, although it is a little dangerous, but because of the huge trade surplus, the merchants are willing to take risks.
And the country of strips and stars, the country of stars, Each country blames the other two countries for putting the merchants into the West Star Country, and the weapons business is becoming more and more difficult to do, but secretly they are all plotting, wanting to swallow the other two countries and enjoy the benefits of the West Star Country exclusively, but they are all more than willing to do enough, so that the friction on the border continues, and the more chaotic the merchants, the better they are to take advantage of the loopholes, so no matter how strict the laws and regulations, there are still soldiers at the border who secretly let some of the merchants go across the border。
And coincidentally, Ying Xue happened to be teleported to the border of the Pleiades by the magic array, and the place where he is now is where the merchants are preparing to sneak into the border of the West Star Country. However, it is not yet time, and they usually sneak through at night. And it's still early, so everyone is waiting for the dark. Yingxue took a look, there were about a hundred people here, but what made Yingxue feel strange was that the people here seemed to be anxiously waiting for something.
"This big brother, what are you all doing standing in the woods?" asked Yingxue to a slightly wealthy middle-aged man beside her.
"Shhhh
"Yes, my name is Long Ji. I'm here with my eldest brother, and it's my first time, so I'm asking for his advice. Ying Xue said humbly.
"Oh, that's a newbie. My surname is Zheng, and everyone else calls me Zheng Fatzi, and I'm idle anyway, come on, let's sit down. "All businessmen are very talkative, and they are full of enthusiasm.
"Good. Thank you, Brother Zheng. Yingxue said gratefully.
"Actually, I'm not afraid to hide it from you, we are all waiting for the night to pass the customs, so that we can get mixed into the West Star Country, and after the transaction is completed. Sneak back here tomorrow night, and although we have to pay a handling fee of 1,000 gold coins to pass the customs once, it is more cost-effective than buying directly from the Strip Star Country, the Douxing Country, and the Pleiades Star Country. The profit is not only ten times higher. Zheng Fatzi said proudly.
"Oh, I see. Then Brother Zheng, don't you often travel back and forth to the West Star Kingdom?" Ying Xue asked casually.
"Of course. I come to Xixing Kingdom ten times eight times a year. To tell you the truth, I am the big patron of Xixing Kingdom, and I am familiar with the people there with him, so let's go with me, oh, how many weapons are you going to buy?" Zheng Fatzi said proudly.
"I only have more than three hundred pieces. "Yingxue is telling the truth.
"More than 300 pieces, I thought how much, meet me today, it is your luck, tomorrow, I will introduce a good store to you, I will ensure that you will be satisfied." "Zheng Fatzi is familiar with the road.
"That's really thank you Brother Zheng, I'm worried about not being able to find a place, so Brother Zheng, how many weapons are you going to buy?" asked Yingxue.
"About 10,000 pieces. Zheng Fatzi said proudly.
"So many, can you handle it alone?" asked Yingxue in surprise.
"You guy, do you want me to take it myself? Let's tell you the truth, I am very familiar with the owners of the weapons shop in Xixing Country, and the people over there are very easy to deceive, as long as I pay them a few hundred gold coins, ask them to help move the weapons to the border, and then I will give some money to the soldiers guarding the customs, and then move across the border, so I will call my people to help move back to the Lingshan Country, you think about it, a person to pass the customs back and forth costs 2,000 gold coins, I have dozens of people, so I don't want tens of thousands of gold coins back and forth, so I just need to move back on the border, so I only need to give the soldiers guarding the customs a few thousand gold coins can be done, so that not only can I save a lot of customs clearance'Handling fee', and the number of people is reduced to reduce the target, saving a lot of trouble, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it! "Zheng Fatzi's mind is really shrewd.
"Brother Zheng, you are really shrewd, listening to you is better than reading for ten years. Yingxue said with emotion.
"Hehe, you guy is really good at puffing up, we businessmen have always been like this to customers, but I love to hear this. In fact, as long as you can think about anything, study it, and devote yourself wholeheartedly, there is no failure to do it. By the way, brother, which country are you?" Zheng Fatzi is not amazing, but his mind is very thoughtful.
"Oh, I'm the Liang Jingren clan of the Heavenly Wind Country. "Yingxue simply thinks of himself as a Liangjing person, and now Yingxue also has some experience in the rivers and lakes, and he still understands the truth that he only speaks three points when meeting people.
"Oh, it turned out to be from the country of the wind, good place, good place. Okay, it's not too early, I have to sleep first, I'm busy at night!" Zheng Fatzi lay on the grass and stopped talking.
Ying Xue was inconvenient to disturb when he saw this, he was also busy all night yesterday, and when he turned around, Xiao Tian and the dragon had already fallen asleep, and Ying Xue simply lay on the grass and slowly fell asleep.
Yingxue was woken up by a mocking noise, and when she opened her eyes, the sky had almost darkened, and it was already dusk, and it seemed that after a while, it would be completely dark. Ying Xue looked at Zheng Fatzi next to her and found that he was gone. I saw that everyone was preparing. It must have crossed the border, so Yingxue stood up. Prepare to follow everyone across the border and enter the Western Star Country.
Now is actually the best time to cross the border, although there are patrol soldiers on the border, but they are all dinner time now, so choose this time to sneak across the border, is the best time, and this kind of thing is strict and lenient, as long as it is mixed on the border for a period of time, who does not know, who will not have money. So everyone is pretending to be stupid. And the soldiers on the border, at this time, have long been waiting to reach out and get the money, and the trick they usually adopt is to underreport the number of people, because the money they collect has to be handed over, and it is harmless to underreport a few people, anyway, the commanders are also turning a blind eye, but it is not too much, otherwise everyone will not be able to eat and walk around.
Eagle Snow can spend some more money than others. Because Xiaotian was also charged a handling fee, it cost a total of 3,000 gold coins, and the Peacock King, Xiaojin, and Xiaoniao were not charged a handling fee because they were lying on Xiaotian's back, but fortunately, Yingxue took 10,000 zero gold coins. Golden tickets are not very valued here, and the soldiers here are only serious about gold and silver. How cool the heavy gold coins look like, who cares what gold and silver tickets you have.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Ying Xue saw that everyone was like this, so she had to pay three thousand gold coins. Take the dragon and Xiaotian to follow everyone into the border of the West Star Kingdom.
There was no obstacle on the border of the West Star Country, but after collecting a customs clearance fee of one hundred gold coins, he let everyone go over, because the king of the West Star Country had already decreed that no foreign merchants should be blocked, because these people all came to the West Star Country to buy goods. The monopoly operation of the Pleiades Star Country has made the lives of the people of the West Star Country tight, and now after the impact of these foreign traders, it has brought considerable profits to the West Star Country, so the West Star Country only charges tariffs when they go out, and when they come in, they generally do not charge any fees, of course, the soldiers on this border have to make some oil and water, otherwise everyone stands on this border line and drinks the northwest wind, but on the whole, it is nothing, because the weapons and other products of the West Star Country, as long as they can be shipped out, the profits are very considerable, so everyone is not stingy with this money。
The treatment in the territory of the West Star Country is really good, for the sake of these foreign merchants, the West Star Country has actually set up a 'green channel', which is specially for these foreign merchants to directly enter the capital of the West Star Country through the guò magic array-Nightless Star City. Ying Xue and everyone, after each of them paid ten gold coins, they entered the magic array and were teleported to the Nightless Star City.
Nightless Star City, as expected, the first impression of Eagle Snow walking out of the magic array is that it is as bright as day, although it is already night, but here it is like day, however, Eagle Snow is extremely far away, only this place is like day, and the distance is already pitch black, and the little lights and stars can completely prove that it is already night. Yingxue doesn't know why, she only knows that the foot of this imperial city is not ordinary, the flow of people on the street not only did not decrease because it was already night, but the flow of people became more and more crowded, although Yingxue didn't know if there were so many people during the day, but Yingxue felt that the night of the Nightless Star City seemed to be particularly lively today.
"How can it be so coincidental, today is the day of the royal family of the West Star Kingdom to worship the sky, it seems that there is no way to buy goods tonight, so let's just find a store to settle in the corner first, and then come out to be lively together, anyway, the worship ceremony has not started yet. What's more, there are even more moving programs at night!" Yingxue turned her head to see that this Zheng fat man appeared again at some point.
"The fat man is right, both come and be safe, and it is rare to meet such a good day, a day of delay is not in the way, the purchase of things will be said tomorrow, how can such a good opportunity be let go, first happy and happy to say, go to the lodging first. Someone in the crowd began to respond to Zheng's words.
So more than 100 people walked to the hotel together, and Yingxue didn't know what to do, so she had to follow everyone and follow everyone. These people are all wealthy businessmen with a lot of money, and they are not particularly welcome wherever they go, as long as they see these foreign businessmen in the hotels of Xixingguo, they all know that these are the masters who are willing to spend money, and the God of Wealth is here, where to push the truth out. The major hotels are vying to pull people, in order to be auspicious, in the end, everyone chose a hotel called 'Fortune Hotel', and settled down.
The conditions here are not bad, everyone wants a single room. Yingxue asked for a large one because of the large number of people. Living with the dragon, Xiaotian, etc., I haven't taken a bath for several days. Ying Xue took a shower, and when it was Xiao Tian and the dragon waiting, there was a commotion in the bathroom, "These guys!" Ying Xue shook her head helplessly, how could she accidentally accept so many spirit beasts, she was still a little confused, and with so many spirit beasts, no wonder people looked at him with strange eyes, fortunately, the dragon could still be transformed into a human form. Otherwise, one person with five spirit beasts would not be like the foreman of an acrobatic troupe.
After waiting for Xiaotian and Xiaolong to wait for a while, Yingxue decided to take Xiaotian and Xiaolong to see the excitement, and when he just walked out of the door, he happened to meet Zheng Fatzi who also walked out of the door, it seems that he is also preparing to see the excitement.
"Boss Zheng, why do you want to see the excitement?" Ying Xue greeted enthusiastically.
"Princess, who doesn't look at it is stupid. These bastards, it's so uninteresting, they didn't even wait for me, they slipped away first. But Brother Long is still hello, let's go together. "It turns out that Zheng Fatzi is slower because he is fatter. Everyone else ran to take up the place first, only he was slower. So I placed an order.
"Princess Xingyuan?" asked Yingxue suspiciously.
"You don't even know this, are you smart or stupid!" said Zheng Fatzi unhappily. I can't believe that there are people in this world who don't even know about Princess Xingyuan.
"The younger brother is a newcomer, and I also ask Brother Zheng to give me advice. Yingxue said modestly.
"Princess Xingyuan, the only princess of the West Star Country, is recognized as the number one beauty in the Sky Continent, if you can marry her, the entire West Star Country will be yours, alas, let alone the entire West Star Kingdom, if I can see her face, I will also die without regrets! Alas!" Fat Zheng said with a heavy sigh.
"Is there such a great charm? Brother Zheng, why don't you speak!" Ying Xue heard Zheng Fatzi say so godly, and asked with some disbelief, there is actually someone who is willing to die at a glance, is there really such a charming woman?
"You know what a, you know, what kind of person Princess Xingyuan is, how can you talk nonsense here. Seeing that Ying Xue didn't believe his words so much, Zheng Fatzi actually expressed doubts about the goddess in his mind, which made him greatly displeased.
"Yes, yes, Brother Zheng is right, and the younger brother is also a little suspicious because he has never seen Princess Xingyuan, and I hope that Brother Zheng will not be surprised, not surprised. Yingxue hurriedly made amends, slandering idols in people's minds is not a good thing, it is easy to provoke people.
"Forget it, I don't understand it to you, tell you, since the day Princess Xingyuan was born, that statue has been shining all night long, illuminating the entire Star City, this is the origin of the Nightless Star City. Moreover, a prophet once said that the future husband of the princess must be a hegemon, just like the legendary heroes of the four gods of the day. Zheng Fatzi usually giggles, but now he has a pious face and a look of worship.
"Oh, no wonder this Star Wish Princess is so hot, by the way, Brother Zheng, what is the name of this Star Wish Princess?" Ying Xue suddenly asked.
"Shhhh Shu!heart!month!" Zheng Fatzi said softly in Yingxue's ear, and he still told Yingxue Princess's name.
"Comfort month. That's a nice name. Yingxue muttered softly to herself.
While speaking, Ying Xue and Zheng Fatzi unconsciously walked to the center of the square, there is only a white stone statue standing on a square in Nuoda, and it is a statue of a woman, Ying Xue carefully inspected, this stone statue really has an inexplicable energy fluctuation, Ying Xue looked up, this stone statue is about thirty or forty meters high, although the carving is very large, but it is very exquisite, the face is delicate and beautiful, the body is graceful, I don't know whether the sculptor's craftsmanship is good, or the sculpture itself has such charm, even the smile at the corner of the mouth is clear, so fascinating, the whole body contains a smell of unstained dust, Especially now that the stone statue is shrouded in a layer of white light, it seems that Zheng Fatzi said that the entire Star City is illuminated by this stone statue is indeed good, but Yingxue really can't feel where this inexplicable energy comes from, why it can illuminate the entire Star City as if it were day.
Ying Xue looked at the stone statue unconsciously fascinated, as if he was confused by this stone statue, he stood under the stone statue and was stunned, and he didn't even notice the abnormal beating of the 'Spirit Star' in the Yin Hall. The Spirit Star's departure from the Eagle Snow, then the Interception of the Sky will be the biggest beneficiary, of course, this is a small action of the Interception of the Sky, of course he knows the origin of this stone statue, and the reason why the Eagle Snow is in a daze is also because the Interception Heaven is fueling the troubles, he just blessed the stone statue with a faint breath of energy, so as to induce the Eagle Snow to enter the temple, and induce the 'Spirit Star' in the Eagle Snow Seal Hall to get out of the body, so that the Interception of the Sky can completely control the Eagle Snow, and the Eagle Snow was really induced by the Interception of the Sky and fell into a confused realm.
Ying Xue didn't feel the slightest movement of the 'Spirit Star', otherwise he could control the 'Spirit Star' as long as he came back to his senses in time, and the current situation Ying Xue was no longer able to wake up on his own, and the dragon, Xiao Tian and others had already taken care of themselves when they saw such a lively scene, where did they care what Ying Xue was doing, seeing that the 'Spirit Star' left Ying Xue's body little by little from Ying Xue's Yin Tang Acupoint, the conspiracy to intercept the sky was about to be repeated.
"Hey, let's go, what are you doing, how can you see Princess Xingyuan here, the altar is over there, let's go!" Suddenly, the fat man Zheng next to Yingxue pushed Yingxue.
"Oh!" Ying Xue replied in confusion, and the 'Spirit Star' withdrew Ying Xue's Yin Tang Cave in time, but Ying Xue's people had not fully woken up, and muttered to themselves in distraction: "Who is this stone statue, how can it have such great magical power." ”
"Ouch, why did you hit me!" Ying Xue suddenly felt a pain in her head, she must have been knocked hard, but this made Ying Xue clear from her confused and distracted state.
"I think you look like an idiot, you dare to come out to do business with such an IQ, you don't even know the famous star god, is your head funny, it's really embarrassing to be with someone like you, I think you just owe a beating!" Zheng Fatzi gave Yingxue a burst of millet fiercely, although Yingxue was very painful, but the conspiracy to intercept the sky was ruined by Zheng Fatzi's knock, he was so angry that he vomited blood, and he wanted to cut Zheng Fatzi with a thousand knives, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart, but although he hated it so much, he only thought about it in his heart, and endured his temperament, he didn't dare to do this, only to put hatred in his heart, because he had to continue to pretend to be a good person and gain Yingxue's trust.
"What!?she's the Star God, and the Star God is a woman!" shouted Eagle Snow in surprise.
Ying Xue suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere around her, looked around, and saw that everyone was looking at her with an idiotic look, Ying Xue had a sneering expression on her face, and she wanted to laugh and cry, Zheng Fat Man had already run to a distance from him, and he was simply embarrassed to be in the same place with someone like Ying Xue.
"Go!" everyone said to Yingxue in one voice.
"Princess Xingyuan is here, Princess Xingyuan is here!" Immediately, the crowd dispersed and ran in the direction of the altar, preparing to greet Princess Xingyuan, and Yingxue was relieved.
"I didn't expect them to react so much, it was too much. Ying Xue saw that she almost couldn't get off the stage, so she had to laugh at herself.
Ying Xue is not in the mood to see what Princess Xing Yuan, he is now all his thoughts on the stone statue of the star god, he didn't expect that the star god he has been looking for for so long is a lady, and it is so beautiful, so fascinating, Ying Xue didn't know that it was a ghost who cut the sky, and thought that the charm of the star god was so great, a stone statue can make people so fascinated, Ying Xue couldn't help but sigh a little, it turned out that he thought he was a mighty man, it was really embarrassing, but this can't be blamed on Ying Xue, for so long, no one has sued him, but he hasn't asked anyone whether this star god is male or female, it seems to be another beautiful misunderstanding. (To be continued......)
