Chapter 396: King Cang is also wishful thinking
The corners of Bai Quan's mouth couldn't stop smiling, and he couldn't help but glance at the carriage next to him, and said, "It's really good, I don't want to sit with a woman."
After saying that, he walked straight to the carriage with Yizhou.
Xiao Jiang's forehead was dark, "Girl, ...... him"
"Let him sit with you."
After speaking, Liu Shengsheng sat in the carriage.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiang didn't dare to say anything, so he could only return to the carriage.
Only this time, he sat in the carriage.
Also sitting in the car was Shirakuzumi.
I saw Bai Quan say triumphantly, "I really didn't expect that the dignified King Cang would have a day of wishful thinking."
Nan Mu Ze glared at him, "Get out."
Bai Quan sneered, "Why?"
Xiao Jiang said solemnly: "Little Wangye, the carriage was prepared by us, why don't you sit outside?"
Looking at the cold expressions of these two people, Bai Quan's heart was very unhappy, "Funny, this king doesn't want to sit with you yet."
With that, he also sat down outside the carriage.
This time it was Yizhou's turn to look bad.
"Why are you sitting next to me?"
Bai Quan: "......"
Yizhou exhaled, "Forget it, it's almost there anyway."
Bai Quan: "??"
He's so disgusting?
Look inside the carriage again.
Xiao Jiang's back was straight and straight, he didn't dare to glance at Nan Muze next to him, and he didn't even dare to pant too quickly.
I really hope that the prince can ignore his existence.
He really can't, and he is willing to sit outside......
「……」
The carriage in front had turned around, and Laiyi outside the carriage had been staring blankly at Liu Shengsheng's face.
Liu Shengsheng was a little uncomfortable, "It's still a little cold lately, do you want to put on the clothes in the carriage?"
Lai Yi nodded, returned to the carriage, took a piece of clothing casually, put it on, and sat next to Liu Shengsheng.
"The girl is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful woman."
Liu Shengsheng smiled, "Beautiful people are everywhere."
"Where? I rarely go out of the Lin clan, at most I have been to the east city of Fengqing Kingdom, which is very large, and there are indeed many handsome men and beauties, but I have never been as beautiful as you, and the sons around the girl are also very handsome......
After a pause, Lai Yi said again, "Why did the girl go to the Lin Clan?"
Liu Shengsheng said, "I heard that you are rich in fine wine, and many restaurants take the wine from you, so I also want to take some goods from you to do business."
Lai Yi nodded, "Well, there have been very few merchants coming lately......
"Is it because everyone is sick? In the past six months, plagues have been rampant everywhere, have you been affected there?"
"Naturally, there were originally three or four thousand people in our clan, but after the plague, there were only more than two thousand seven hundred people left in just a few months, and now most of the people are bedridden, and I don't know how many people will be left after the plague."
Speaking of this, Lai Yi sighed again, "Some time ago, I heard that the plague is poisonous and has been cured, but unfortunately the people are superstitious, and everyone thinks that it is the retribution of God, so no one believes that the plague is poisonous......
"Although everyone doesn't believe it, I still believe it, after all, I'm not superstitious, and I don't want to go back to such a superstitious place at all."
Speaking of this, Laiyi pointed to the path ahead, "Pass through here."
Looking at the overgrown road ahead, Liu Shengsheng frowned, "Can you pass here?"
Lai Yi nodded, "Yes, these weeds are put on by the clan, and someone will take care of them every once in a while, and when strangers pass by here, they won't think that this is the road."
So hidden, no wonder they didn't notice just now.
After entering that trail
, Liu Shengsheng then asked, "Why do you believe things that everyone doesn't believe?"
Lai Yi said: "Because I have a brother who is doing things in Fengqing Country, not long ago he sent me a letter, saying that the plague is poisonous, and it was also solved by a person named Liu Shen Doctor, and said that the Liu Shen Doctor Bodhisattva has a heart, looks like a fairy, and boiled the antidote for them day and night, and saved the patients in the whole city in a few days, which is very great."
"So you went out this time to find your brother?"
Lai Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My brother is striking iron in Li City, not in Dongcheng."
"That's ......."
"Yes, because he is good at weapons, so he also knows a lot of Li Cheng's soldiers, I heard that one day, Li Cheng and the people of Yundu fought, my brother, is always righteous and awe-inspiring, I don't know what he thinks, he has to go to the battlefield with a few of his good brothers to help, and then, he ......."
Speaking of this, Lai Yi's eyes glistened with tears, "He's stupid, isn't he? When they are in Li City, they rush out to fight with others, and they don't want to think that Li Cheng will be full of people from Yundu, so it is clear that they are going to die."
Seeing that Liu Shengsheng had been silent, she smiled, "Don't mention these unhappy things, girl, I don't know if you want to believe me, but the Lin clan is really not suitable for women, if you really want to do business, you can let your friends in, but too many of us in the Lin clan are highly poisonous, and it is estimated that we will not be able to provide you with goods for a long time......
"Why do you say it's inconvenient for women to go in?"
Laiyi sighed and did not speak.
Liu Shengsheng said, "Don't worry, I won't go around talking about it."
"It's okay if you say it's okay, anyway, our Lin clan won't be able to last a few years."
Lai Yi said melancholy: "I think that at the beginning, our Lin clan was so beautiful, and the business was all over the world, and merchants from all over the country came to us to get goods."
"A few years ago, there were four or five thousand people in the clan, and all of them were capable people, not only could cook all kinds of food and wine, but also cooperated with merchants from each country, spent several years, dug several tunnels, just to be able to quietly transport goods to all corners of the world, the business was so big that no one could match, and every household was full of gold and silver treasures."
"Ten years ago, there were still 10,000 people in the clan, and now I really don't know why it has fallen like this, less than 3,000 people, it's really sad."
Liu Shengsheng's attention instantly focused on the tunnel.
But she didn't show surprise, just said calmly, "What is it?"
Lai Yi smiled, "It's just an ordinary tunnel, after going out of the Lin Clan, in a forest near the city wall of Dongcheng, we dug a long, long tunnel, my father was a member of the tunnel, I heard my father say, each tunnel has been dug for many years......
"You also know that transporting goods from outside into the border city requires all kinds of fees, and then our Lin clan has a large amount of shipments, and it has accumulated over the years, but it is a large amount, just to save money, so we dug tunnels, and there are many tunnels like this, otherwise you say that the two countries are still at war, how can I receive a letter from my brother?"
Liu Shengsheng's heart was shocked, "Is there such an authenticity in other countries?"
"Yes, there are countries that we work with."
After Lai Yi finished speaking, he covered his mouth again, "Am I too loud?"
Liu Shengsheng just smiled, "No."
The rest of the way, her heart was shocked. c
Although she didn't quite understand what Lai Yi meant by "various fees", she could guess with a little guess that it should be something similar to tariffs......
So their act of digging tunnels is just to avoid taxes?
I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in this world.
I don't know if the "poison" thing will have something to do with those tunnels.
Then I heard Laiyi say, "This is the first time you have come to do business with our Lin clan, right?"
Seeing Liu Shengsheng nodding, Lai Yi continued, "No wonder, anyone who has been here will know the existence of the tunnel."
