Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Lion Opens His Mouth

"Young Master Chu, according to the price of our firm, it costs four hundred and twenty taels of silver to escort Ling Mei to Ziwei City, and five hundred and fifty taels of silver to escort to the safer Tianfu City, and as for the main city to float eastward, the price will be thousands."

Huang Budu sat on a wooden chair, introducing Chu Ce with a smile on his face.

"Why is it so expensive?"

However, hearing his words, Chu Ce frowned!

Just send it to a nearby city, and it will cost four or five hundred taels of silver, isn't this a robbery of money?

"Childe doesn't know." Huang Budu took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Although the heroes of the Demon Hunting Division strangled a large number of demons before, there are still many wandering outside, and there have been more and more caravans attacked recently.

Moreover, these silver taels are not only the transportation costs on the road, but also the security of Ling Mei's life in other cities for the next three years, which is definitely worth the money! ”

Chu Ce didn't say anything, he knew these mercenary businessmen, and this price must have been raised by several major trading houses.

If you want to be cheap, you can find someone in the dart game, and fifty taels of silver can let them piggyback.

But as Huang Budu said, the security and follow-up services are far behind!

After all, several major commercial houses are expensive, but the quality is still guaranteed.

As if seeing Chu Ce's embarrassment, Huang Budu smiled and said lightly: "If the son is not rich, I have another proposal." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Huang Budu said respectfully: "That day, I met with Gongzi in the wild, and the leader of our bank asked Gongzi if he went to trade with the homeless people in the mountains, but Gongzi nodded at that time, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

Chu Ce nodded slowly.

Huang Budu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "In that case, does the son know the location of those homeless camps?" ”

Chu Ce's heart moved, it turned out that this product was contacted by him because of this matter.

At first, when the other party was willing to take care of him, a little-known little character, Chu Ce was still a little surprised in his heart, but now he really understands.

At the moment, he said quietly: "I heard that these homeless camps have been exterminated by the Demon Hunting Division, and with the means of the Chengde Commercial Bank, can't they find out a few locations?" ”

Huang Budu said with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, our business firm naturally has some contact with the Demon Hunting Division, but this matter is extremely secretive, it is said that the whole process was completed by the demon slayer captain who has been in the limelight recently, and we can't do anything about it." ”

Chu Ce's heart suddenly changed, it seemed that Zhuo Tianyu did not break his promise, but he didn't know where those people in the camp were placed by him.

Huang Budu has been in the mall for many years, and after watching Chu Ce's reaction, he knew that he did know the specific direction, and immediately said: "Master Chu, as long as you tell us the specific location of the homeless camp, we are willing to send Ling Mei to a nearby city for free." ”

Chu Ce didn't immediately agree or refuse, but asked, "I don't know what makes Chengde Commercial Bank value it so much?" ”

Huang Budu smiled casually: "I don't hide it from Gongzi, after we separated from Gongzi that day, we also tried our best to get in touch with those homeless camps, and successfully sent a caravan, but now there is no news."

It's been almost a month now, and we also know that the team is in trouble, but there is always a bit of luck, and I hope that Gongzi can let me and others investigate, so that the people in the business house can feel at ease. ”

Chu Ce looked at Huang Budu suspiciously.

Isn't it worth five hundred taels of silver for the journey?

That's a huge amount of money that a homeless person can't earn for a hundred years without eating or drinking!

The merchant's pursuit of profit is well known, and he is willing to spend such a large price just to find out a few people, either these people are extraordinary, or they carry precious goods!

Thinking of this, Chu Ce's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Although I know the location of those homeless camps, the road in the mountains is complicated, and I can't draw accurate drawings, so I'm afraid that I will disappoint Shopkeeper Huang." ”

When Huang Budu heard that Chu Ce really knew, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then I don't know if I can bother Master Chu to lead the way for us?" ”

Chu Ce glanced at the other party with a smile, and said leisurely: "This is not impossible, but as the shopkeeper said before, there have been more and more caravans attacked recently, and it is extremely dangerous to go out of the city!" ”

When Huang Budu heard this, he immediately scolded in his heart.

Chu Ce saw his urgency in this matter, and began to raise the price on the spot with his previous words!

Unexpectedly, he fell into the pit he dug!

However, thinking of the importance of this matter, Huang Budu did not dare to slack off at all, so he had to swallow this breath and said with a smile: "As long as Gongzi Chu is willing to lead the way, in addition to sending Ling Mei to other cities safely, there must be a generous reward." ”

"How rich?"

Huang Budu hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "One hundred taels of silver? ”

To be honest, the price is already very high.

Although Chu Ce had taken a lot of benefits from Zhuo Tianyu one after another, to be honest, those pills and ointments were actually a reward for predicting the future to some extent, and there would never be such a good thing in the future.

According to his current status as an ordinary gang member of the Shanhe Gang, it would be good to have five taels of silver in a month!

Just leading the way can have a hundred taels of silver, which can be said to be a big windfall.

However, Chu Ce just squinted, there was no trace of joy on his face, and he stretched out a finger and said expressionlessly: "First, my little sister can't go to a city casually, she has to go to the main city to float in the east!" ”

"Young Master Chu, this!"

Huang Budu's face changed, Dongfu was guarded by eighteen acropolis cities, which was naturally extremely safe, but the road was also far away, and the price was at least a thousand taels! It is equivalent to Chu Ce opening his mouth to increase the price by five hundred taels of silver!

How could he say yes?

was about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Chu Ce.

"Shopkeeper Huang! This is just the most basic requirement, if you can't even meet this, then the shopkeeper will go back! ”

Chu Ce's face was serious, and he really got up to see off the guests when he spoke!

Seeing this, Huang Budu was instantly anxious, although he knew that this eighty percent was just the other party's anti-guest strategy, but the matter was very important, but he didn't dare to bet!

Thinking about it again, in fact, it's nothing more than a person on the way to Dongfu, and it's not a big deal!

Thinking of this, he had to smile bitterly: "Gongzi Chu is really going to ask for a price, since Gongzi is so resolute, then I can only agree, but then I also ask Gongzi not to open his mouth again, otherwise he will not agree no matter what." ”

Chu Ce smiled indifferently, as if he hadn't heard Huang Budu's warning, and stretched out his finger again.

"On the second condition, I want a thousand taels of silver as a reward!"
