"Brother, who is it, why are you looking for the two of us as soon as you open your mouth?"

Shui Chaoyang felt strange in his heart, there are indeed many people who know Qiu Wuyi's name now, and everyone knows that he is the real instigator of the uprising, or the boss behind the two territories, of course, there are many misunderstandings in this.

But there is one point, that is, almost no one takes the initiative to look for Qiu Wuyi, and the reason is very simple, after all, he is an outsider, and for everything, the people of the two territories still feel that Shui Chaoyang is more reliable, and the popularity between the two cannot be compared.

"Let's take a look, it's not an assassin anyway. ”

Qiu Wuyi opened his mouth and smiled, got up and was about to go downstairs, as soon as he heard the word "assassin", Liuberry suddenly put up a whole body of vigilance like a hedgehog facing the enemy, and his slightly panicked appearance was really cute.

The second monk of Shui Chaoyang couldn't scratch his head, and he was too annoyed by the work in front of him, so he followed Qiu Wuyi to take the initiative to go downstairs to welcome guests in line with the idea of changing the air.

The castle is quite high, it takes a little time to go downstairs, during this time, Qiu Wuyi roughly imagined the appearance of the comer, if it was really a messenger sent by Tianzhumen, it must not be too normal.

Before he could go out, a lot of people had already gathered at the gate of the castle, pointing at something from a distance, blocking the doorway.

"What's wrong?"

Qiu Wuyi leaned up and asked, these people's faces didn't seem to be very good, and if they were specific, they had the feeling of hearing that they had a bloody disaster when they were telling a fortune.

"Ah...... Brother Qiu, you see, it's the Black Merchant......"

The young man's voice was a little trembling, half scared, half excited.

"What!The Black Merchant?Why did the Black Merchant appear!"

Shui Chaoyang, who followed from behind, also stood in the crowd, his eyebrows locked together unnaturally, as if he was a little in awe.

"What the hell? Even Brother Shui seems to be a little scared. ”

Qiu Wuyi naturally didn't know anything, and bent down and whispered to Liuberry Berry for advice, Shui Chaoyang was naturally a bold man, and he was fearless in revolting to kill the lord, but as soon as he heard the name of the Black Merchant, he immediately became like a shrine in his home had fallen, which was really a bit strange.

"This ...... I don't know the specifics, because it's so rare, but I've heard that the place where the Black Merchant appears can prosper overnight or be destroyed in an instant. ”

The words of the willowberry berry caused many people's backs to shrink violently, and the young men who were all surrounded here were full of vitality, which showed that the legend of the black merchant seemed to be deeply rooted in their hearts.

"Brother Shui, people come from afar, they have to be greeted, you arrange it first, I'll say a few words, and you can also help. ”

Qiu Wuyi knew it in his heart, after all, he was the only one who knew a little bit about the true face of the black merchant, so he cleaned up his clothes and walked out of the castle alone.

Walking on the stone avenue at the entrance of the castle, on the opposite side was the so-called Black Merchant, both sides were silent, in fact, they should have been looking at each other.

The Black Merchant was indeed dressed in pitch black, but it was different from ordinary black clothes, the upper body was the usual traveler's thick attire, with a pure black cloak on his shoulders, and the mask also covered his face tightly, and strangely enough, he was wearing black stockings on his legs, and he didn't know what the meaning was. This person is not tall, only a little taller than the raspberryberry, and judging by the figure and clothing, it should be a woman.

Of course, there is Zhang Xiu first, maybe there are men in Tianzhumen who like to wear stockings.

Since he was a merchant, he naturally did not appear empty-handed, and with him was a small carriage, the carriage was closed, and judging from the appearance of the wheels, the goods on the carriage were very heavy.

Perhaps it was some kind of identification, the Black Merchant held a half-charred branch in his hand, more than two meters long, strange to say, one end of the branch was leafy, and the other end was charred like black charcoal, and it was the charred part that the Black Merchant was holding.

"Please. ”

Qiu Wuyi didn't say much, made a standard salute, and invited the black merchant to come to the door to talk in detail.

"You trust me?"

An almost hoarse voice sounded from beneath the Black Merchant's mask, extremely unnatural, as if it had a throat wound, but it was barely recognizable as a woman.

"Distrust, trust alone in this world can't bring everything, rather than pinning everything on trust, I want to pin it on interests and chips. ”

Qiu Wuyi responded indifferently and made a gesture of "please".

Sure enough, talking to smart people is easy. ”

The Black Merchant bowed in return, patted the horse lightly on the ear, told it to wait where it was, and followed Qiu Wuyi to the top floor of the castle.

Along the way, all kinds of eyes were cast from every place where there were people, most of them were doubts, and a few were fears, and the name of the Black Merchant was like a ghost, although the daylight would not bring nightmares, but the night would eventually come, and the root of all this was infinite uncertainty.

"Hello, I am Shui Chaoyang!"

Outside the reception room, Shui Chaoyang had been waiting for a long time, anyway, it was a knife to stretch out his head and shrink his head, and from a distance, Qiu Wuyi seemed to be fearless, so he also pretended to forget the legend of the black merchant, and stiffly stretched out his right hand, fortunately, the words in his mouth were not knotted.

"Hello, my name doesn't mean anything to you, maybe it's not what you want to hear, I'm here just to talk to you about business. ”

The black merchant stretched out his hand wrapped in black silk gloves, shook hands with Shui Chaoyang suspiciously, and then the group walked into the reception room, Liuberry Berry naturally would not leave Qiu Wuyi, Shui Chaoyang also intended to distance himself from the black merchant, which made the huge reception room like a place for making a report.

"I don't know what business I can do in this small place?"

Shui Chaoyang drank all the tea in the cup like a strong drink, wiped his mouth, and then completely said the lines he had just thought of, the nervousness in his heart can be imagined, if possible, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with the black businessman.

Many people want to gamble with the Black Merchant, and there are also many people who know that they can't afford to gamble.

"Lord Shui smiled, your territory is now the best place to do business in the neighborhood, and the business of war is the easiest to make money, whether it is the victor or the vanquished, I am the object of my business. ”

The Black Merchant spoke very slowly, so even if his voice was hoarse, everyone around him could hear it clearly.

Qiu Wuyi nodded on the side, the black merchant can be said to have cut to the point, arms are always a huge cash cow, it is said that some people deliberately provoke wars in order to be able to do arms business, and those who make profits in it will also be called warmongers, and they are generally spurned by serious businessmen.

"You mean...... War?"

Shui Chaoyang's face changed slightly, he knew that the two territories were seriously lacking in military strength now, although most of the nearby lords were very honest, but in the long run, these two territories were still nominally borderlands, which meant that anyone had the truth to come and crusade and occupy.

If the Black Merchant said that the Earl and the Marquis from afar would come to invade, I am afraid that he would have to prepare for war with all his might, and the legend of the Black Merchant instigating war has also been heard from time to time.

"Yes, you are fighting to protect this land, and with your ingenuity, you must be able to understand the current world, starting this year, the Earthquake Kingdom will face even greater chaos, and the lords will be at war like never before. I know that you love peace, but how long can peace without power last before endless greed, and when the surrounding territories are annexed, whose turn will come next?"

The dead wood in the Black Merchant's palm slammed lightly on the ground, and the hardness of the charred and carbonized wood was close to that of metal, and the sound of the vibration was crisp and loud.

"I'm afraid these wars have something to do with you, right?"

On one side, Shui Chaoyang was still pondering, and on the other side, Qiu Wuyi suddenly asked, his gaze fixed on the black merchant's covered face.

"You seem to have a misunderstanding of who I am, I do like war, and I like the endless fighting and fighting in war, but that doesn't mean I will provoke war. I'm just a merchant who sells my goods to people in need, and I have nothing to do with what they do with my goods. ”

The Black Merchant's answer was cunning, but it didn't shy away from her thirst for war, just as a monster thirsted for fresh flesh.

"So, you just saw that we needed to come here?"

Qiu Wuyi folded his fingers together and asked in a wordy manner.

"That's right, and I would like to be able to discuss with you, with Lord Shui, in detail, by the way, in this area, I recently made a business to sell one hundred and fifty well-trained military dogs to Count Cedar, do you know military dogs? Trained military dogs can attack any target under human control, and fake the scene as the work of a monster. ”

There seemed to be a glimmer of laughter floating from under the dark and mysterious mask.

"What!Count Cedar!, the despicable villain who hired warriors to raid hunting parties! You...... You sell him a military dog! Don't you know that he will use it to harm people!"

With a thud, the table beside Shui Chaoyang was flipped upside down, and his anger almost made him forget the shadow of the Black Merchant, pointing at her nose and yelling.

"Military dogs are also a type of weapon, don't you use them to kill your enemies if I sell you a sword? It has nothing to do with me what Count Cedar needs a military dog for, it's only because he needs a military dog, and I can provide it, and the deal will be successful. For me, it doesn't matter whether it is righteous or not, the sword wielded for justice and the sword wielded for evil thoughts are the same weapons. ”

In the face of Shui Chaoyang's anger, the Black Merchant lifted his slender legs with a calm expression, and instead became more relaxed.

"So get back to business, what kind of weapons can you provide?"

Qiu Wuyi got up and stopped the seizure of Shui Chaoyang, although the Black Merchant's words were just a distorted thought, but if human nature was thrown away, what she said was not unreasonable.

"Weapons, you know it very well, please come with me. ”

The Black Merchant also stood up with the dead wood and said meaningfully to Qiu Wuyi.
