Chapter 12: Premeditation
White City Pier.
There was a light rain in the sky, and forty or fifty snow wolf mercenaries came over, each carrying heavy wooden barrels, and boarded a small cargo ship. The bilge door opened, and a foul smell greeted him, and Rao is mercenary was also sick to his stomach.
There were hundreds of orcs in the cabin.
The hands and feet were shackled in chains, the stench in the small place was stinking, and the orcs looked yellow and thin, and they looked like they had been malnourished for a long time. However, starving camels are bigger than horses, and standing in front of the orcs with an average height of 2.2 meters, the human body is like a child.
"Roaring ......"
"Roaring ......"
When the orcs saw the mercenaries coming in, they all shook with excitement, they were already hungry!
"Don't make a noise!"
"What a fart!"
The mercenary kicked the orcs a few times, and the group of humanoid beasts gradually calmed down, and the mercenaries held a wooden bucket in their left hand and a large spoon in their right hand, scooping out a few handfuls of slimy things from the bucket. This is a food made from fish, leftovers, and wild vegetables, and it definitely doesn't taste very good.
The orc's eyes lit up one by one, and when the mercenary poured the food into the recess, the orcs rushed to pounce one by one, because their hands and feet were bound, and they could only stuff their whole heads into it and eat it in large gulps.
Food that the Terrans disdain, for the Orcs, especially a group of hungry people who have been famine all year round.
It's a rare delicacy!
The mercenaries frowned in disgust when they saw the reincarnation of a group of starving ghosts of the half-orcs, and one of them said, "I really don't understand, how could Mu Yun bring these guys back!"
Another mercenary was also disgusted by kicking the orc who was in the way: "This kind of thing, waste food alive, raise it for a few days, the consumption is not small, it is better to cut it off with a knife!"
"Don't complain!"
"Mu Yun would do this, it must make sense!"
"That's right, it doesn't cost you money anyway!"
The mercenary said as he stepped out of the cabin, the deck was already soaked by the drizzling rain outside. The fishing industry in Baicheng is underdeveloped, so the number of fishermen is small, the river is filled with mist, and there is basically no boat.
"Woo——!"
A long and dull whistle sounded, and in the hazy mist, a cargo ship suddenly drove out.
Baicheng Wharf is mostly fishing boats, cargo ships are very rare, everyone thinks it is fresh, all run out to watch, this cargo ship slowly slowed down, and finally docked at the wharf. No one came down from the boat, and a group of people were already waiting on the shore, and the vehicles were ready, as if they were going to transport something.
Finally.
And they saw it.
Pieces of silvery-white ore, transported from the wear, all packed in bags, someone identified, this is the Mithril mine, this is the value of the Mithril mine!
Qin Zhongning looked forward to it for a few days, and finally looked forward to it.
At this moment, I am excited and nervous, go and check it out immediately!
"Good!"
"Good mine!"
Qin Zhongning carefully examined a few bags of ore, he was an experienced material merchant, it was impossible not to identify the Mithril ore, from the color, from the quality, almost at a glance. This is the Mithril Mine, and it's the best Mithril Mine!
Qi Shan carefully examined it with a magnifying glass, and finally made a judgment, and said respectfully: "Family Master, this batch is all the best ore! The content of Mithril is very high! It is rare on the Fertile Moon Plain!"
Qi Shan, the Qin family's housekeeper, became Qin Zhongning's confidant, not only as a master, but also as the chief material appraiser of the Qingtian Chamber of Commerce.
Qi Shan has made a judgment!
That's definitely right!
There are about 45,000 catties, and the total value is more than 2,000 gold coins!
This is simply a timely rain for the Qingtian Chamber of Commerce, solving the urgent need!
Qin Zhongning couldn't wait to send the ore to the factory, refine all the Mithril, and send it to Stone City. Qin Zhongning signed a contract with the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce to provide more than 3,000 gold metals every quarter, but there was no limit to what kind of metal it was. These two metals are produced locally in Shicheng, and they are generally not lacking.
Now, Qin Zhongning can sell Mithril to Stone City!
It's different!
In recent years, Mithril has been in great demand, and if you can get your hands on a channel of Mithril resources, those merchants will be like flies that have found carrion. The Bai Cheng Mu family and the Bai Cheng Nalan family thought that cutting off a few partners would be able to sanction the Qingtian Chamber of Commerce?
Mithril is like a stepping stone!
What partner Qin Zhongning is looking for and can't find it?
"Hahaha......" Qin Zhongning laughed excitedly, and immediately commanded the family guards and mercenaries, "Send them back, send them all back!"
Qi Shan walked up respectfully.
Qin Zhongning said with some pain: "Count the 1,000 gold coins, send them to Xiaoyue, and ask her by the way, when will the next batch of ore arrive!"
Qin Zhongning is still a profiteer, although his daughter provided the goods, but he resolutely would not pay until he saw it with his own eyes. Now that the ore has been inspected, in order to get a steady supply of Mithril in the future, it is better not to delay the 1000 gold coins, otherwise as soon as Qin Yue starts a fire, it will not be easy for this father to do!
Return slowly.
Not far away.
A few people in defensive cloaks, silently watching the scene, immediately rushed back to report the news.
Mu Xuan was furious when he learned that Qin Zhongning had really obtained a large amount of Mithril ore, and directly smashed a vase to pieces, "Where did this Qin peel get the ore from!"
I don't believe it!
Mu Yun can conjure ore out of thin air!
The more Mu Xuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately took the car to Nalan's house. In this matter, the two are on the same front. Now that the face has been torn apart, although the momentum and strength of the Qin family are not as good as the Mu family, the two families are fighting each other, and it will definitely have an impact.
Compared to Mu Xuan.
Nalan Gaoyuan was much calmer, sitting at home drinking tea, but his eyes were also full of gloom.
"Brother Mu, why are you here?"
"What do you think?"
Mu Xuan walked up to Nalan Gaoyuan, "That old thing really got the Mithril ore, what should I do now?"
Nalan Gaoyuan slowly put down the teacup, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I got some rumors, if it can be confirmed, it will be beneficial to us." ”
"What's the wind?"
"Mu Yun's ore was obtained by trading with the orcs, and Mu Yun even brought hundreds of orcs to White City!"
"There is such a thing!"
Mu Xuan looked shocked.
"This is what some snow wolf mercenaries said when they were drunk, I sent someone to check near the bed on the dock, and I can't be wrong. ”
Mu Xuan's expression was uncertain as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly he figured it out, "We can design it, saying that Mu Yun colluded with the orcs, he must be finished!"
Half-orcs!
This is the number one enemy of the northern human race, with irreconcilable contradictions, how many people have relatives and family members slaughtered by orcs, so every time the half-orcs are mentioned, almost all humans will grit their teeth and hate it.
If anyone dares to associate with an orc.
You'll be the target of public scouts in no time!
Saliva alone is enough to drown him!
Nalan Gaoyuan said slowly: "It's not in a hurry, either don't do it, or do it! It's not enough to just let him be ruined!"
Mu Xuan was stunned and asked, "Then you want to ......?"
At this time, a voice came to mind at the door: "Big young master, ice sculpture mercenary Wang Zheng is here!"
Nalan Gaoyuan showed joy: "Please come in!"
Wang Zheng was dressed in leather armor, and the first thing he said was that he said, "I have already investigated!"
Nalan Gaoyuan hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"
Wang Zheng replied: "I have been to the Sentinel Army, and some time ago, Mu Yun took people to the Falling Cold Mountain Range to trade with the orcs!"
Nalan Gaoyuan showed great joy: "Okay! This guy really dares to defy the world's condemnation, since he is looking for death, then it's no wonder to me!"
Wang Zheng continued: "There is one more thing. ”
"And?"
"Mu Yun was on the way to trade with the orcs, and he was attacked by the orcs, which resulted in the death of dozens of outposts!"
Mu Xuan was overjoyed and said, "There is still this kind of thing, seize this point to create public opinion attacks, this time see how he exculpates himself, he will definitely be ruined!"
Nalan was thinking about countermeasures from a distance.
A servant came and said, "The master called you!"
Nalan walked to Nalan Houde's room, in addition to Nalan Houde, there was also a man in black, with inch-long short hair, a scar on his face, a blood-red sheathed long sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were extremely cold, which made people shudder.
Nalan Houde stood up and immediately said to Nalan Gaoyuan: "Gaoyuan, don't come forward to meet you soon! This is the family envoy, your clan uncle - Nalan Kill!"
What the?
Blood Shura Nalan Kill!
Nalan Gaoyuan's expression froze, and a cold air rose behind him, the name of the blood Shura, who in the Nalan family doesn't know? He hurriedly went over and bowed, and said respectfully: "I have seen the envoy!"
Nalan was forty-four or five years old, his eyes were sharper than the blade, and there was a faint killing intent between his hands and feet, and he looked at Nalan Gao Yuan and said, "It's not bad!"
Nalan Houde showed a look of joy, this person is not only a messenger, but also a minister who travels all over the world, if he can say a little kind word or two in front of the head of the family and the clan elder, and let the family pour a little bit of local resources, it will be endless benefits!
"Please take a seat, envoy!" Nalan Houde respectfully sat the envoy and asked, "What are the instructions of the family?"
Nalan Lu said lightly: "Miss's approach attracted the attention of the family's top management, and the head of the family was very dissatisfied with it, so he sent me to bring Miss back." The Five Thousand Family Firescale Guards have secretly arrived in White City, and if necessary, they will carry out strong measures, please cooperate!"
Nalan Houde was shocked!
One of the four Praetorian Guards, the Firescale Guard!
This time the family is really hot!
Nalan Lu said: "You should understand the attitude of the family, no matter what, we have to bring the young lady back!"
Nalan Houde showed an embarrassed expression, and said cautiously: "Now that Miss's [Xueyan Chamber of Commerce] is in the limelight, the magic potion will provide Bai Cheng with a lot of benefits and prestige, I am afraid that the city lord will ......"
Nalan Ji's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he snorted: "A mere city lord, dare to get along with the Nalan family?"
Nalan Houde had an embarrassed expression.
Nalan Gaoyuan hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not just the city lord, I'm afraid that the Academy Alliance and the Warlock Guild will also interfere!"
Nalan Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange light flashed in his pupils.
The largest warlock organization in the North.
This is indeed something to be afraid of!
Nalan Gaoyuan's eyes rolled and continued: "Of course, these two forces will help because of one person, as long as we bring down this person first, then they won't care about Miss's affairs." ”
"Who is this man?"
"Mu Yun!" Nalan Gaoyuan paused and said, "The envoy doesn't know that the young lady will gain a foothold in Baicheng, and he has planned it all!"
Nalan Lu stood up with a long sword in his hand, and Sen Han's murderous aura was released, "I'll kill him!"
The family envoy is not idle!
The strength of Blood Shura is unfathomable!
Nalan Gaoyuan hurriedly said: "There are many masters beside Mu Yun, and it is not easy to assassinate him. I do have a note, if the envoy is willing to help, then it will be easier to implement......" He briefly recounted what Mu Yun had done, "After the matter is completed, Mu Yun will be ruined, and the Warlock Guild and the Academy Alliance will not dare to interfere easily, and they will not dare to say anything if you kill him." ”
Nalan Lu sat back down, closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "As long as you succeed in bringing Miss back, the benefits will be indispensable to you!"
Nalan Houde's father and son are all happy!
With the strong support of the family and a definite handle, Nalan Gaoyuan really can't think of any way for Mu Yun to turn himself over!
