I don't know how to promote my book, but it's still gratifying to see that someone has been reading it, so let's keep working on the codeword!

I would be very grateful if I could vote!!!

The two were talking, and suddenly there was chaos downstairs, Xiao Er took a look and hurriedly ran back with a pale face, Sheng Xuan also hurriedly looked out of the window, only to see a group of troops suddenly appear on the street, all wearing silver armor and riding on a tall horse, faintly feeling that these people are probably the lowest around the sixth-order fighting spirit, what is such a strong army to do? I saw that the team was followed by more than 100 four-wheeled giant carriages, each carriage was pulled by sixteen extremely strong horses, and the goods on the carriage were obviously extremely heavy, and the whole restaurant was shaking as they rumbled through the street. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The man glanced at it, then said softly, "My goods have arrived, little brother, let's go." "This turned out to be his goods? There is such a scale of army escort, and he said it so easily, what kind of business is this person doing?" Sheng Xuan hurriedly followed him out of the restaurant, and heard someone in the shop next to him whisper, "Whose goods is this, it is so pompous, it is necessary to be escorted by the Silver Armor Army, it is estimated that all the treasures in it must be pulled." The other person hurriedly said, "You don't know this, didn't you see the logo on the car? This is the goods of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Guzhu." ”

It was the first time Sheng Xuan had heard of the Chamber of Commerce, but he immediately knew that the eldest brother who had just eaten at the same table was the owner of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, but what kind of business was his Chamber of Commerce doing? He couldn't help but be even more curious.

Seeing the boss come out, a person immediately walked out of the convoy and looked dressed as a leader, but when he got closer, he was stunned when he saw Sheng Xuan, and the man hurriedly said, "This is a little brother I recently met, called Ye," Sheng Xuan hurriedly said, "My name is Ye Shengxuan." The man continued, "Yes, this is Brother Shengxuan, this is the deacon of this Chamber of Commerce, Lao Song. ”

Hearing this, the old Song hurriedly saluted him and said politely, "Ye Gongzi is good." Sheng Xuan also hurriedly returned the salute, and Lao Song said to the man, "Boss, our trip is not going well, we have been chased and killed several times along the way, I'm afraid these people 、、、" The man waved his hand to signal him not to say any more, and then asked, "How about the loss?" "There is basically no loss of goods, but we have broken a lot of brothers." When the man heard this, he immediately punched his palm angrily, "Remember to take care of these brothers after you go back, and this revenge will be remembered for the time being, and there will always be a time to find it." ”

The convoy slowly walked into a huge freight yard and stopped, the man signaled Lao Song to beckon Sheng Xuan to rest next to him, and then walked straight to a hut in the freight yard, at this time the entire freight yard has been strictly guarded by the Silver Armor Army, Sheng Xuan originally wanted to inquire, but Lao Song was so ruthless, he was no longer boring, the two of them waited quietly, and it took a long time for the man to walk back and say to Lao Song. The goods have been delivered, you go and deal with our goods, except for the part sold here, the rest are all pulled to Qingqiu, this time the 100,000 pieces of silk should be able to sell for a good price. After listening to the order, Lao Song immediately got up and went out to do errands, and the man looked at Sheng Xuan: "Now you know why I am so interested in you, if I buy these 100,000 pieces of silk directly from Nanming and then sell them to Qingqiu, I believe that the profit will increase several times." ”

This is really a big deal, this time I am afraid that it is one-tenth of Nanming's annual silk output, such a huge profit I believe that no one wants to control it in the hands of others, but Shengxuan still has some questions, and can't help but ask directly: "Big brother's business is so huge, I believe that you can find many people who are willing to go to Nanming to do business for you, but why do you tell me this? We have just met." The man laughed, "Brother Shengxuan, don't be too modest, in fact, the first time you came in, I thought you were like a person, I believe that in Nanming, I am afraid that no one can compare with you, this palace assassination is not something that anyone can do." ”

Just this sentence suddenly made Sheng Xuan break out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but quietly touch the ring with his hand, ready to pull out the ghost roar at any time, the man hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Shengxuan, don't worry, I, Helian Zan, am not the kind of villain who betrays his brother to make money, you can rest assured, in fact, I have seen your sea fishing documents in Sanmiao a few days ago, so I paid special attention to you just now in the restaurant, I didn't expect to kill more than a dozen wizards at once, you are really generous." ”

Sheng Xuan's heart was completely cold, he didn't know anything about the other party, but the other party knew so many things about him, but what could he say now, maybe it would be a good choice to listen silently, Helian Zan glanced at him and said, Brother Shengxuan told you the truth, since I heard about you, I have been very interested in you, now Nanming has a Tianyi Gate but under your banner, robbed a lot of state offices, originally I thought you were in Nanming, but I never thought that I would meet you here so coincidentally, I don't know if that day a door can be created by brothers? If it is really founded by you, I want to have your sect as a backing, I believe that our business will be done, I don't know if you are interested. ”

Sheng Xuan thought about it for a long time, in fact, he had always wanted to find such a person to develop his Qin Gang, but now that it was really in front of him, he couldn't help but be imprudent, because he knew too little about the other party, it was like gambling on the table, and what he was gambling on was not only himself but the lives of all sects, and if he was not careful, he might be in danger of being wiped out.

But such an opportunity was too tempting, and finally Sheng Xuan gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "Helian," Helian praised and waved his hand, "Just call me Brother He, everyone around me is called that." Sheng Xuan also changed his words, "Brother He, what you said is indeed very attractive to me, but Nanming is separated from here by Sanmiao and Jingman, even if I want to do this business, I'm afraid it's not so easy." "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you can organize the supply of goods over there, the rest is not a problem, you can rest assured that I will not let you decide so quickly, at least you need to understand my business first, let's go and see the goods." ”

The goods of the hundred carts were not all for one family, but twenty carts were left in the warehouse, and when Helian Zan led Shengxuan into a warehouse, he saw a group of people who were busy disassembling the boxes, and Lao Song was standing next to him to command, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly ran over, "Boss, the goods have been sorted out according to your instructions, this time there are five carts of Qingqiu's wine vessels, and three carts 、、、、" Helian Zan waved his hand," You don't have to tell me one by one, just know it yourself, take me to see Sanmiao's customized long knives, these are big deals, and you must pay attention to confidentiality, don't let outsiders know. Lao Song hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry, the people who work here are all their own people, not a single outsider, and I also instructed my brothers to guard this warehouse tightly, and I believe that no rumors will leak out." Helian Zan nodded, "The eight hundred war horses must also be taken care of, and one less one will affect the credibility of our Chamber of Commerce, this is the first time we have done business with Sanmiao, and we must not let people say that we are not here." ”

Being able to say such a confidential thing in front of him, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, it seems that this Helian Zan really didn't treat himself as an outsider, but after thinking about it, his relationship with Sanmiao is like water and fire, even if he lets himself know, it doesn't matter.

At the same time, he also admired Helianzan's scheming, eight of the sixteen horses that pulled the cart were sold to Sanmiao's war horses, and when he went back, because the goods pulled were light, he reduced a few horse-drawn carts, which could reduce the cost, and naturally no one would suspect it, and this war horse had turned around and entered Sanmiao unconsciously.

Helian Zan took Sheng Xuan to the side, only to see that there were a few small boxes here, someone was carrying these boxes from the big boxes, and put them neatly together, Helian Zan ordered someone to open a box, only to see a long knife made of fine iron neatly placed inside, and took out a handful and danced twice in front of him, and then asked Sheng Xuan, "What do you think, Brother Sheng Xuan?" Sheng Xuan had already seen that the long knife he said was the curved sword used by the Gu people around Cai'er that day, this kind of sword has a narrow and long blade, and the flexibility is very good, he couldn't help but take a handful and fold it casually, and let him bend it into a semicircle, and when he let go of the long knife, it bounced back to its original state, and then he slashed a sword at the box, only to hear a small hissing sound, and the corner of the wooden box fell neatly, and the cut was as smooth as if it was grinded out, and he couldn't help but nod and praise, "It's really a good knife, this kind of long knife Nanming can't be forged." ”

There are 200 boxes in each box, which is 4,000 long knives, if you equip the entire army, of course, it is far from enough, but if you equip an elite of 4,000 people, I am afraid that the combat power will be more than doubled.

Helian Zan smiled slightly, "Now you know what business I do." ”

Since the other party did not hide it, of course, Shengxuan was not hiding it, "Since Brother He believes in me so much, then I will tell the truth, I now have two factions under my command, this day one door is full of green forest heroes, and the two factions are divided into the beggar gang and the Qin gang, the beggar gang is responsible for the news, the Qin gang is responsible for all kinds of business, as for your business, I am even more interested, if there is weapons and equipment like you now, I believe that my Tianyi sect will definitely grow a lot." ”

Helian Zan's face couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this, and looked at this teenage boy carefully, he originally knew some things about the Shengxuan sect, but he didn't know the specifics, and now he was taken aback when he heard Shengxuan say this, he never thought that such a child would be so thoughtful, dividing a sect into three forces, and each responsible for different aspects, this is probably not a simple sect, does he want to 、、、、 , He didn't dare to think about things that he had never thought of with his own strength, but the kid in front of him was already planning, but when he thought about it, how could a person who dared to enter the palace alone and successfully assassinate the emperor be understood by ordinary people? Brother Shengxuan, originally I planned to annex your sect and let you help me do things, but now it seems that I am infatuated and greedy, since you are so ambitious, it is better for us to form brothers, your sect can help me do business, and my chamber of commerce can also help you, so that we can definitely create a big thing by joining forces. Saying that, he stretched out his hand firmly, and Sheng Xuan also stretched out his hand to cover the other party's hand tightly.

In this seemingly calm Guzhu, in fact, it is also a surging tide of various forces, Helianzan's Chamber of Commerce has long caused many people to be dissatisfied, but Helianzan has a close relationship with the Guzhu royal family, these forces dare not openly oppose the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, so they secretly sent people to pretend to be robbers and rob, this time the matter was targeted by these forces, so they were chased all the way, the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce lost a lot of manpower, and in desperation came forward to seek help from the royal family, so they sent the Silver Armor Army to escort, of course, this escort is also worth a lot.

In this troubled world, only heroes have a unique vision, can grasp the fleeting opportunity to create a big thing, this is of course based on strength and courage, when two people with the same courage meet together, will definitely collide with dazzling light.

The two then returned to the inn, this night the two of them had the feeling of seeing each other late, and they were attracted by the unique temperament of the other party, Helian Zan's family has a huge amount of money, but he looks like an ordinary person on weekdays, and his bold personality makes him more willing to stay with those warriors, not to mention that he himself is also a good master, although it is inevitable to contact some powerful people in business, but due to his strong financial resources and the terrifying strength of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce's private army, many people are still willing to endure his rough character, but in fact, this person is as careful as a hair, otherwise how can he be a Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce in just over ten years, and the position of the boss of the lonely bamboo will be achievedAnd although Shengxuan is not very old, he has an earth-shattering courage, as if there is nothing in the world that he does not dare to do, and his kind of spirituality and ability to grasp opportunities deeply impressed Helian Zan, he already has a unique leadership temperament at this time, I am afraid that the little Nanming will be difficult to raise this dragon in time, but after all, he is still too young, so the most important thing for him now is to learn, and at the same time to wait for the opportunity, from the current seemingly calm relationship between the seven countries, the undercurrent that has gradually risen, I believe that a few years later will be a big chaos。

Sheng Xuan heard Helian Zan's praise, just smiled noncommittally, in fact, only he himself knew what was going on, to say that this day a door was really established by mistake, he just completed what he thought he should do at the right time, and the world added a mysterious aura to him, making his things so legendary, but his current attitude that made Helian Zan feel calm made him admire it even more, and he couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart" is so unarrogant and impatient at such a young age, such a person can only be described as a genius. It can be seen that although Helian Zan's hands and eyes are all over the sky, what he has seen and heard is still inseparable from the rumors in the market, not to mention that he would not have thought that Shengxuan has some memories of his previous life.

The two chatted for nearly a night, until the early hours of the morning to take a nap in a daze, and then got up and went to the freight yard to deliver, this time Sanmiao sent a team of people to come, but they were all dressed as merchants, among which there were a few wizards mixed in, Shengxuan had been with Cai'er for many days, so he could see the clues at a glance, he was afraid that those people would recognize his appearance, so he secretly hid behind Helian Zan and his entourage.

This transaction was very successful, the long knife brought by Helian Zan opened the eyes of these Sanmiao warriors, in the end, it was made by Qingqiu craftsmen, compared to it, Sanmiao's long sword is not the same at all, so the leader of Sanmiao officially signed a long-term contract with Helianzan, which means that the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce has now set up a relationship with the Sanmiao royal family, and Shengxuan finally knows the meaning behind what he said at the beginning, as long as he can organize the transportation of goods.

Everything is over, Helian Zan instructed Lao Song to entertain the Sanmiao people, and he took Sheng Xuan to take the first step, last night they had decided to come forward by the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce and send Sheng Xuan to the most famous Carlin Academy in Guzhu, where Sheng Xuan could concentrate on studying for a few years, and Helian Zan would get in touch with Tianyi Gate as soon as possible, connect the business of the Qin Gang with the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and then do this business all over the Seven Kingdoms.

Driving all the way west from Yunshan City, the speed of the carriage may be able to travel more than 300 miles a day, so it is still a journey of nearly ten days, and the group finally came to the capital of Guzhu-Kalin.

From afar, I saw a majestic city located in a valley, as if a huge silver ring shrouded the whole valley, and when I got closer, I saw that the city was built on the mountain, three sides are steep peaks and the other side is a big river, the city within a radius of hundreds of miles is completely made of a white stone, it looks like a halo from afar, Shengxuan has been deeply shocked by it, and then get closer to hear the rumbling sound of water, here because it is a mountainous area, the water is turbulent, a big river more than 100 zhang wide is rushing, the momentum is really like ten thousand horses galloping, the river flies three stone bridges, the bridge head erects a tall fortress, there is really a husband when the pass, I believe that there is no army that can break through such a strong Xiongcheng.

It wasn't until standing at the foot of the city wall that Sheng Xuan felt that it was huge, the city wall was more than twenty zhang high, eighteen zhang wide at the bottom and twelve zhang wide at the top, I am afraid that several carriages would not feel crowded when they were parallel on the city wall, and the carriage drove through the city gate at high speed, and a miraculous city was finally exposed in front of him.

The whole city is in a stepped pattern, and a road fifty zhang wide leads to the palace, but at each step there is a huge stone gate, which divides the city into several pieces, and also makes the palace on the top of the hill more majestic, and has several layers of protection, as if the whole of Carlin is its outer city.

The buildings of the whole city are full of exotic styles, and Shengxuan is dazzled, after Helian Zan took him through the two stone gates, he turned to the right and came directly to the station of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, only to know that the whole city was divided into various functional areas by the rules, and the location of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce is the commercial center, because the city is too huge, so there is a light carriage in the city that is specifically responsible for transportation, as long as you are willing to pay, the carriage can take you anywhere in the city that you can go.

The carriage finally stopped at the corner of the street, Helienzan introduced the city, and took him to walk to a tower, the population of the whole city is millions, and the nobles are generally gathered in the upper two floors near the palace, and most of the people near the city gate are poor people, so the city is also divided according to the hierarchy of people, and the country also implements a strict hierarchy, no commoner can infringe on the power of the nobles, even if you are a rich commoner, and the other party is a broken nobleman, you must make way for the nobles when you walk on the opposite side.

Like Nanming, the people here have no special beliefs, and any form of church will be considered an infringement of royal power, so the people can only believe in royal power, which makes his rule highly centralized, but unlike Nanming, there is an elders' council here, and the presbyterian council restricts a certain amount of royal power, so even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

In fact, what I see now is only the main city of Carlin, there are two tooth cities hidden in the mountains on both sides, each of which is also a large city within a radius of dozens of miles, the tooth city on the left is called Yuwei, because it is shaped like wings, and there are 100,000 imperial city guards stationed in it, and the one on the right is the Carlin Academy, usually people call it the academy directly, and the academy mainly teaches fighting skills and magic, so it has become another security guarantee for the imperial city, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, such a strong Carlin City plus the guards of the left and right tooth cities may really only be described as impregnable。

After relieving himself in a series of shocks, Sheng Xuan was in the mood to take a look at the residence of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, feeling a tall tower outside, but after entering, he found that it was extremely crowded, not because it was not big enough, but because there were too many people, every place was crowded with people, and even in the aisle, there were people holding paper and constantly calculating, when they saw Helian Zan coming in, everyone saluted him respectfully, and kept shouting, "Boss He is like this, Boss He is like that." At this time, Helian Zan had lost his smile, replaced by a sad face, and spread his hands helplessly at Sheng Xuan, "I knew that it would be like this as soon as I came back, this is just a lot of things after walking for a few days, it seems that I can't accompany you, you can go around Carlin City by yourself, if you get lost in the city, take a carriage back, remember to come back before six o'clock, I will give you a drinking party to introduce everyone." As he spoke, he casually threw him a money bag, and when Sheng Xuan opened it, his saliva was all over the ground, and there were a full hundred gold coins in it.

"Six o'clock?" Sheng Xuan was a little confused, in Nanming they used the hour to calculate the time, but what does six o'clock mean? Helian Zan smiled slightly, "Six o'clock is the sunset, which is the second quarter of the Shen hour that you Nanming said." Sheng Xuan suddenly realized that he had seen it in the book before, but he didn't care about it when he was young, and now he knew that it was the case when he heard Helian say it.

Walking out of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce happily with the money bag, Sheng Xuan planned to buy some application things, walking along the street one by one, listening to Helian when this should be a commercial center, but did not see a few shops, but the buildings are all in and out of the flow of people, to the center of the business district here stands a huge building, to ask the people next to him to know that this is actually a trading place, but the door is closed, and there is no crowd of people buying and selling, which can't help but make him more curious.

Finally at sunset, Sheng Xuan returned to the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce with a stomach full of questions, at this time all the people in the Chamber of Commerce building had left, leaving only Helian and some high-level officials in his Chamber of Commerce, at this time the hall on the top floor had set up a sumptuous banquet, and everyone was waiting for him.

Seeing Shengxuan coming back, Helian hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and officially introduced to everyone, "This is my good brother Ye Shengxuan." Sheng Xuan hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, and everyone also stood up and saluted, Helian laughed, "It's all your own brother, why are you so polite, let's all sit down and talk." Everyone sat back down.

Helian began to introduce them one by one, "Old Song, you have seen it, it is my head of foreign affairs, we are called deacons, this is Wang Lianjiang, this is Li Qinghe, this is Du Yonglu, and Zhao Qingbo, Wu Suiyou, Zhang Huicheng, several of them are the directors of local branches, and then I will introduce you to my chief manager Du He, my net worth and property are all in his hands" Hearing this, the old man hurriedly stood up, his expression was very frightened," The boss has won the award, thanks to the boss's appreciation for letting me do something in the meeting, and I can barely support it thanks to the help of my brothers on weekdays. Lao He laughed, "You old man is so modest on weekdays, and no one is so nervous to rob you of your job?"

Next, Lao He introduced many specific people in one breath, these people are all important figures in various parts of the Chamber of Commerce, but these dozens of people can only be remembered by Shengxuan's memory, and finally Lao He's eyes fell on one person, and after a little thought, he said, "This is the commander of my private army, Helian Bale, and my brother in life and death." The man just whispered, "Call me Bale, or He Laoer." Sitting there without even raising his eyelids, Sheng Xuan suddenly felt strange, how could this person be so arrogant? Lao He hurriedly said, "He is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, you will know after a long time, okay, now that my brothers have been introduced, let's have a drink together, come." Saying that, he raised the wine bowl, and everyone got up one after another to make a bowl of wine together, and the lively wine banquet officially began.

During the banquet, Sheng Xuan filled everyone with a glass of wine and briefly talked about it, but when he arrived at Bale, Bale grabbed the wine jar and filled a glass himself, and before Sheng Xuan could speak, he had already slurped a bowl of wine, and immediately let Sheng Xuan swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

This scene made Lao He see it clearly, so he came over and said to Sheng Xuan, "Do you remember what Lao Song said when I first met you?" Sheng Xuan suddenly remembered that Lao Song said that the convoy of the Chamber of Commerce was chased and killed at that time, and couldn't help nodding, Lao He sighed, "It was at that time that Bale lost most of the brothers who were born and died together, which saved the goods of the Chamber of Commerce, so he was sad about it." Sheng Xuan then understood that this was the reason, but Bale's straightforward personality was also undoubtedly revealed, which made him like him from the bottom of his heart.

When Bale heard this, he couldn't help but pour down another bowl of wine, and then smashed the bowl and threw down the sentence "Lost company." Then he got up and left the table and walked downstairs, and everyone was still eating, drinking, and talking as if they hadn't seen it.
