Two thousand stone of grain, a total of a thousand sacks, the wind army unhurriedly weighed one by one, this is not a head. Before the grain was weighed, the sky was already dark, and the merchants were all anxious.

Among them, the eldest young man walked up to Dai Yu and arched his hand and said: "My lord, two thousand stones of grain, one stone is not much, one stone is a lot, is there no need to weigh them one by one, even if the villain has the courage to deceive, he will not dare to deceive your adults!"

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if, it's better to weigh it clearly. Dai Yu said with a smile.

"This ...... It's going to get dark soon, so how are we going to get there later?"

"It's your problem, not mine, and it's up to you to decide what to do. Dai Yu said with a smile.

The young man's face was ugly, and he could see it now that people were deliberately making things difficult for him. He said in a deep voice: "Forget it, we won't sell this grain." ”

Dai Yu nodded indifferently, and greeted his subordinates: "Brothers, don't call it, don't call it, don't sell it, put away the silver, let's go back to the mountain!"

Seeing that the soldiers were leaving, the young man was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed Dai Yu's sleeve and said, "My lord, you have moved all the grain out of the car, but you should let them load the grain back into the car!"

"I said, your demands are inevitably too much, even if you go back on your word, and now you have to ask our soldiers to help you carry food? It's ridiculous. Dai Yu shook his arm, waved his hand and said: "Go up the mountain, go up the mountain!" The latest chapter of the Black Rock Pavilion has been updated

A thousand sacks of grain had to be loaded back into the car, and only a few of them were afraid that they would not be able to carry it all night. The older young man sighed secretly, grabbed Dai Yu's sleeve again, and said, "I'll sell, my lord, we'll just sell it." ”

Dai Yu glanced at him, smiled proudly, and the old god said on the ground: "Brothers, they are willing to sell grain again, continue to weigh the scales." ”

The young man raised his eyes and looked at the sky, which was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that they would not be able to get out of Mount Sib until the second half of the night.

Seeing his worried expression, Dai Yu said slowly: "There are many bandits in Shah, but they are famous, and when you leave, you have to be careful, in case you meet bandits along the way, the silver is robbed, and the loss of life is big." ”

Hearing his 'kind' reminder, the young man took a deep breath and said, "My lord, the villain has a reluctant request. ”

"Oh? ”

"We plan to spend the night in Xibu Mountain tonight, and we ask your Excellency to take us in. ”

"That's no problem, but we can't provide accommodation to you in vain, you people plus so many carriages, just pay this number!" As he spoke, Dai Yu slowly stretched out three fingers.

"Three...... Thirty taels?"

Dai Yu glanced at him and corrected: "Three thousand taels, not one less, if you think that your luck is good enough, even if you walk at night, you can't meet bandits, you don't have to live in Xibu Mountain!"

Shangguan Xiu and the others almost laughed out loud when they heard this, and when everyone in the caravan heard this, their faces became more ugly than the other, as if they had been drawn blood.

The older young man sighed, and said to Dai Yu: "I know that the adults are blaming me for waiting to sit on the ground and raise the price, okay, I will sell these rice to you for 5,000 taels, I just ask the adults to take us in for the night!"

"Haha!" Dai Yu looked up and smiled, patted the shoulder of the older youth, and said meaningfully: "Who are we waiting for the soldiers to stay in Xibu Mountain to meet the army of Ningnan, and want to fight to the death with the enemy?

His words made the merchants blush, and the people looked at each other, and finally the older young man stamped his foot vigorously, and said, "My lord, sell two thousand stone of rice and four thousand taels of silver to your lord." ”

Shangguan Xiu, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, smiled, and secretly said smartly, if you say that you are cunning, you have to be Dai Yu, and you don't use force to coerce, just use some small means to tame these businessmen into obedience, and save a lot of silver for yourself.

Hearing his laughter, the older young man subconsciously turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu, looked at him a few times, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, ......who is this adult?"

"Shangguan Xiu. ”

"Huh......? It turned out that the county lieutenant was here, the villain was disrespectful, the villain was disrespectful!" The older young man hurriedly bowed to Shangguan Xiu, bowed to the ground, and said: "Villain Fu Cong, the shopkeeper of the Fu family's grain store in Kuancheng!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly waved his hand to the young woman beside him and said, "This is the sister, Fu Xinyue." The villain was offended a lot just now, and I ask the county lieutenant to forgive me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young woman shyly and timidly gave Shangguan Xiu a blessing salute, and whispered: "The little girl has seen the county lieutenant!"

Everyone looked at Fu Xinyue carefully, and all of them secretly said in their hearts What a beautiful girl! Fu Xinyue looks dignified and has a small jasper, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows reveal a seductive color, but when a man sees it, few will not be moved.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, you two don't have to be polite, I will wronged you tonight, stay in Xibu Mountain for a while, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will send a sergeant to escort you into the customs." ”

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" Knowing the identity of Shangguan Xiu, Fu Cong's attitude took a 180-degree turn, his arrogant color disappeared without a trace, and his attitude was very humble and respectful. In fact, it is also very understandable that Shangguan Xiu is now in control of the three counties of Zhenxi, in Zhenxi, he is the most powerful person, for businessmen, offending Shangguan Xiu, not only will it be difficult to continue to do business in the future, but he will also die because of it.

Shangguan Xiu ordered all the 2,000 stone of rice to be transported to the top of the mountain, and then he took Fu Cong and others up the mountain. On the way, Fu Cong cautiously asked, "My lord, I heard that the Ningnan army will come to attack Xibu Mountain in a big way, is this true?"

He nodded and said, "The Ningnan army will arrive soon." ”

"In that case, the adults should quickly withdraw to the Guannai, and never stay in Xibu Mountain any longer. Fu Cong said with a frown.

Shangguan Xiu smiled disappreciatively: "The mere Ningnan Army, I haven't taken it into account yet!"

Fu Cong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the adults are so confident, I and the people will be relieved." It's just that Zhenxi is not peaceful now, I heard that the rebels of Skeven are already on the way to Zhenxi, I wonder if Zhenxi will be in danger?"

Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Fu Cong and said with a smile: "Your news is quite well-informed." ”

Fu Cong smiled bitterly: "Businessmen also rely on the sky to eat, if there is a war, our business will be difficult to do!"

"Hmph!" Xu Rui sneered and said, "I'm afraid you are looking forward to the chaos in the world, otherwise, how can you and other businessmen take the opportunity to extort bamboo and make a windfall?"

His words made Fu Cong's face red. Fu Xinyue, who was beside the latter, suddenly spoke: "This adult's words are wrong, during the war, we can make some money by selling grain, but our business is also done with our heads, and our lives may be lost at any time, if we can do business safely and steadily, who is willing to take such a risk?"

Xu Rui glanced at Fu Xinyue, cleared his throat unnaturally, and did not speak again.

Shangguan Xiu saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart, no matter how iron-blooded a man was, he was sad to pass the beauty level! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Arrange a place for them to stay. ”

"Yes!Brother Xiu!" Xu Rui waved his hand to the Fu family brothers and sisters and the others, and led them to a few idle wooden houses.

Shangguan Xiu returned to his residence, saw that Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were both tired, and said to the two: "Ah Jue, Yufei, you go to rest first?"

"Brother Xiu, what about you?"

"I'll look at the defense map for a moment. ”

"Brother Xiu, we're not tired. ”

"Go to sleep, it's hard to say what the situation will be tomorrow, the most important thing is to recover your strength and energy first!" Shangguan Xiu raised his head to the two of them. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei pondered for a moment, then bowed to Shangguan Xiu in both directions, and said, "Subordinates retire!"

As soon as the two of them walked on their front feet, Wei Tian walked in from outside, and saw Shangguan Xiu holding a candlestick in one hand, standing in front of the table, bending over and looking down at the defense map of Xibu Mountain, he asked with concern: "After a few days of traveling, don't you go to rest?"

"In some places, it always feels like it's not well furnished. Shangguan Xiu muttered without raising his head.

Wei Tian stepped forward, looked down at the drawings, and said: "The first and second lines of defense do not play a crucial role at all, at best, they slow down the advance of the enemy army, no matter how well they are arranged, they are only doing useless work, our real line of defense is the mountain top defense line, which is also our last line of defense." ”

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin, his eyes purring and rolling, and he was silent in thought. Wei Tian suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, my lord, early tomorrow morning, we must let the people of the Fu family's grain store evacuate Xibu Mountain." ”

"Hmm......" Shangguan Xiu first agreed casually, then he raised his head, looked at Wei Tian curiously, saw his solemn face, and asked, "Brother Wei thinks they have a problem?"

Wei Tian shook his head slowly and said: "I didn't see any problems, but the big war is imminent, and we have to guard against it, in case they are Ningnan's meticulous work, leaving them on the mountain is equivalent to hanging a knife above our necks." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, and couldn't see that Wei Tian was quite cautious. He smiled and asked, "I don't know what Brother Wei's identity is in Tongtianmen?"

Wei Tianzheng said: "In the lower Tongtianmen deputy capital. ”

Don't look at Tongtianmen, it is nominally a Jianghu sect, but the internal position is exactly the same as that of the imperial court. Shangguan Xiu sighed, changed his words, and asked, "Brother Wei, do you know where the Ningnan army has arrived now?"

"Not surprisingly, the Ningnan army should now arrive at Wansen Mountain, and according to the speed of the Ningnan army's march, it will take two days to reach Xibu Mountain. Wei Tianzhengse said.

"In other words, we only have two days left to prepare. ”

"Yes!" Wei Tian nodded and said: "The three corps sent by the Ningnan Army this time are all from the Seventh Legion, and there is a spirit team with brilliant achievements in the Seventh Legion of Ningnan, called the Dragon Slaying Team, I think, this time the Dragon Slaying Team is very likely to go to Xibu Mountain with the three corps, if the Dragon Slaying Team really comes, they will definitely not accompany the army, and now, they should have arrived at Xibu Mountain." ”
