Dong Rui's eyes widened. Is this He Lingchuan or Fang Canran's face valuable? "Can I borrow it?"

He also needs funds to study demon puppets, and in the past, he could only rely on robbing houses. But since partnering with He Lingchuan, he doesn't even have this freedom.

He also needs money, where is there enough to spend three melons and two dates?

Fang Canran maintained a smiling demeanor: "Yes, the interest is a percentage, just count your simple interest." ”

Dong Rui was dissatisfied: "Hey, I also participated in your actions in Lingxu City!" ”

"That's why it's one percent, otherwise you will be charged at least one and a half percent compound interest."

He Lingchuan was not surprised, he knew that his great achievements had earned a good reputation in Lingshan. After all, Rongshan Sect saw his face, and also borrowed millions of taels to fight in the Kite Kingdom.

Of course, Kite Country also took out high-quality assets as collateral, and Rongshan didn't lose anything.

But after thinking about it again, he still politely rejected Fang Canran's proposal: "When my mountain is exhausted, let's ask Lingshan for help." ”

He has too little contact with Lingshan, and he doesn't want to owe this mysterious organization a huge favor - sometimes you think you only owe favors, but in the other party, it is already regarded as selling yourself.

For the sake of these three or five million, who knows what price he will have to pay in the future? In the long run, it's not worth it.

It is better to maintain equal exchanges and mutual benefit.

Fang Canran was not reluctant: "If you come to settle in the east of Mu Country, Lingshan will definitely be happy." Shall I introduce you to the introduction? ”

"That's for the best!" This was also one of the purposes for He Lingchuan to come to Platinum Island, and Fang Canran took the initiative to mention it.

It's a real person.

Fang Canran had to ask for his consent in advance: "However, I have to report your great achievements before people will pay attention to you." ”

He Lingchuan did not hesitate: "As long as you can trust him." ”

He wants to get in touch with Lingshan and get the attention and woo of the other party, this secret must not be hidden, so it is better to take the initiative to throw it out as a bargaining chip.

More than 100 years ago, his ancestor Lu Xun once represented Lingshan and established contact with Panlong City and Zhong Shengguang; On the way to escape from the Heavenly Palace, he also heard the thousand trees and leaves of the Taoist Tree say the word "Lingshan" to him.

For Lingshan, He Lingchuan has a natural curiosity and closeness, and of course wants to get in touch and understand further.

"Of course."

"There are also people in the Spirit Mountain in Mu Country, right?"

"Yes, that's great!" Fang Canran paused before saying, "The secrets of Lingshan are endless, and I only know a little bit about it: in fact, when the Mu Kingdom was established, it was Lingshan who led it. ”

Even the founding of the country of Mu has the credit of Lingshan? Dong Rui interjected: "Can it be compared to the Heavenly Palace to Bega? ”

The relationship between the Heavenly Palace and Bega is complicated, but everyone knows that Bega serves the gods, so the Celestial Palace is in a dominant position and can influence Bega's national policy.

Why is this big brother's question so direct? He Lingchuan glanced at him and asked well!

The relationship between Lingshan and Mu Guo, he still hasn't figured it out.

There is no way, there are too few people to ask.

"It's not that close, and it's not that subordinate." Fang Canran pondered the words, "So far, Lingshan has also a transcendent status in the Mu Kingdom. ”

As soon as these words came out, He Lingchuan knew that Mu Guo's independence and autonomy were stronger than those of Beijia.

But Fang Canran continued the next sentence:

"So far, most officials and civilians in Mu State do not know about the existence of Lingshan. When most people hear the name of Lingshan, they only think it is an ethereal legend, and only a very few people have the opportunity to touch it. ”

Lingshan is hidden and ethereal, and ordinary people can't perceive it at all. He Lingchuan had been secretly planning in Lingxu City for so long, and when he was about to leave, he happened to hear the word "Lingshan".

Dong Rui grasped the main contradiction: "Anyway, Lingshan is very influential in Mu State?" ”

"Of course. The high-ranking officials and famous generals of the Mu State are basically from the Daomen, and some of the Daomen are under the Lingshan Mountain. I heard that the elders of Lingshan went down the mountain, and the monarch of Mu Guo personally rushed to the foot of the mountain to greet him. ”

"Mr. Fang, can you recognize Xia Pei, the Yutian general of Mu State?"

"There have been several encounters in the past. Xia Taibao came from the Hongshan Sect, and the Hongmen and my Taihang Sect have been friends for many years. Fang Canran asked him, "Brother He has an old relationship with him?" ”

He Lingchuan understated: "Just ask casually, the eight poles can't hit the edge." ”

Dong Rui immediately added on the side:

"This kid bought the Yangshan Islands from Xia Pei's in-laws."

"Xia Taibao's in-laws?"

"Xia Pei's daughter, Xia Lishang, married Lu Qinglin, the second son of the Bailie Lu family. The Lu family is very flattering to this in-laws. Dong Ruifei said quickly, "The Lu family sold the Yangshan Islands for 80,000 yuan, and thought that they had taken advantage of it, but now their intestines are repentant, and they will have to snatch it back when they can't do it." ”

There are some things that He Lingchuan is inconvenient to say, so it is up to him to say.

"Eighty thousand...... A whole archipelago? Fang Canran was also shocked by this number, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "The Lu family was drunk at the time?" ”

"At that time, the archipelago was shrouded in darkness, and humans couldn't get close." Dong Rui pointed at He Lingchuan, "Only this inhuman kid has driven away the evil spirit." ”

He Lingchuan lowered his head and sipped wine.

Fang Canran suddenly said: "I see! ”

He had only been on Platinum Island for a few months and didn't know much about the surrounding area.

What could he do if he was upset? Pay the money in one hand and the island in the other, you always have a contract between the two of you, right? ”

"The contract is not important, the key is strength." He Lingchuan said calmly, "Bailie's lease to Qingguo's Blade Port has expired more than ten years ago, but it has not been recovered. ”

"That's right." Fang Canran groaned, "Xia Taibao has a domineering personality and protects his shortcomings, and Mu Guo regards Bailie as a subordinate. But in the final analysis, it is just a trivial matter for you to buy a piece of land, and it would be too cheap for the dignified Xia family to make a move for this, not to mention that it is not in the country of Mu. Looking at the past so many years, Bailie has sold a lot of territory, and I haven't seen them ask for it back. ”

He Lingchuan understated: "If I dare to buy the island, I am not afraid that they will get it back." ”

Dong Rui came to a "but": "They don't do much behind their backs, we buy things, and they join forces with merchants to raise prices; We sell things, and they have to obstruct them in every way. ”

Fang Canran nodded: "The Lu family, as the lord of a hundred columns, has some means. ”

He Lingchuan asked intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, the Lu family always says that they are descendants of immortals. So, is there a connection between Bailie and Lingshan? ”

Fang Canran smiled: "What if there is?" ”

"If it's related, when it offends me, I'll beat it up." In the Panlong world, Lu Xun crossed the ocean and sent a message to Zhong Shengguang on behalf of Lingshan.

This at least shows that the ancestors of the Lu family have a great relationship with Lingshan, and Lingshan trusts Lu Xun very much.

But the world is unpredictable. Has this relationship continued to this day?

Although He Lingchuan's words were arrogant, Fang Canran still heard the intention of showing goodwill to Lingshan: "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

As Fang Cai said, he didn't know much about Lingshan.

Fang Canran said again: "But from a realistic point of view, I think even if these two sides are related, they are not close. ”

He Lingchuan nodded: "I think so." ”

In fact, looking at the attitude of neighboring countries towards Bailie, he also understood seven or eight points in his heart. If Bailie really backed the big tree of Lingshan, why was he invaded and paid compensation, and even a large piece of territory was cut away?

Why did the Lu father and son work hard to curry favor with General Yutian, who was trying to curry favor with Mu Guo, donate money and grain to Mu Guo at every turn, and send their precious sons to the western front?

It's such a delicate situation.

Fang Canran changed his words, "Brother He, what are you selling now?" ”

He Lingchuan took a sip of wine: "The products of the Yangshan Islands." This season is dominated by palm oil. ”

Fang Canran let out an "oh": "The palm oil you produce there is really a good thing, and we use it in our restaurants and shops that make dim sum." ”

"Of course the things on our island are good, and we use them ourselves." Dong Rui swallowed melon seeds, "I can only hate Bailie Lao digging into our corners, and the customers who have negotiated are always grabbed by him at a low price." These calves would rather lose 800 of themselves in order to hurt us by a thousand. ”

Fang Canran said with a smile: "To achieve great things, Brother He is a good hand; Do business...... Back and forth, more of an entanglement. ”

In the face of this successful businessman, He Lingchuan said honestly: "There are still a lot of places to learn, and I have to pay for lessons." ”

The three of them toasted a glass of wine.

Fang Canran said again: "By the way, in a few days, there are distinguished guests from Mu Kingdom who are coming to Platinum Island, and I will introduce them to you, or it may be helpful." ”

He Lingchuan happily responded.

Fang Canran stood up and said, "After the matter is over, I'll take you to dinner." Platinum Island's grilled seafood is a must! The ghost market at night is also very fun, and there are many strange things. ”

Dong Rui perked up when he heard this: "I was about to take a look." ”

He Lingchuan also said: "I need to buy more than 1,000 sets of weapons, knives, guns, and shields; In addition, there are 700 sets of middle and outer armor. ”

Some things can't be bought through normal channels, so you have to go through unconventional channels, such as buying them through the ghost market on Platinum Island.

Fang Canran's answer was very simple: "As long as the price is reasonable." "That's fine.

Dong Rui took out a note: "This is my shopping list, can you get it?" ”

Fang Canran took it and looked at it intently.

He Lingchuan leaned over to take a look, and the list was densely packed.

Fang Canran groaned: "These are all uncommon materials. ”

"yes, that's why I'm looking for you. I'm experimenting. ”

He Lingchuan couldn't help but interject: "Hey, how much does this cost?" ”

Fang Canran casually estimated the price: "At least eighty thousand silver." ”

He Lingchuan was dumbfounded: "How much?!" ”

Dong Rui pointed at He Lingchuan at the same time: "He pays!" ”

"Well, that's not right." Fang Canran waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it all just now." I can basically get all the things on your list, but these three materials-"

He pointed it out to the two of them: "-It has always been priceless. I'll go and ask somebody, and you'll wait here. ”

With that, he strode out.

He Lingchuan glared at Dong Rui: "What the hell is it for?" ”

"Be a demon puppet." Dong Rui's face was straightforward, "It's not that you don't know, what I do." ”

What else can the demon puppet master study if he doesn't study the demon puppet, the recipe?
