Chapter 624: The Mystery of the Divine Grass
Zhuang Jian felt strange, he was also from the North Britain, and he should feel extremely honored, if they could enter the Central Plains smoothly, they would not have to endure the cold wind here.
"Shopkeeper, I'm really surprised by your performance."
The shopkeeper knew that Zhuang Jian was yin and yang, and hurriedly let the two enter the room.
He looked back again, and there was no one around, so he whispered, "Both, I advise you not to mention this matter outside, in fact, our king does not want to start a war, it is all Nalan Gang's idea, so it has not received the support of the people, and the current situation is definitely not what you expected."
"We all want to live in peace, and who wants to go to war."
Only then did Zhuang Jian react to the shopkeeper's mentality.
Representing everyone's thoughts, Nalan has just lost the hearts of the people if he insists on going his own way.
But he was still attacking aggressively, and he had brought in more men and horses, and he had to capture some strong men without soldiers.
Everyone was born and raised by their parents, and they were unwilling to give up their lives.
It's a pity that under his pressure, no one dares to resist.
If you don't go, you will be punished on the spot and the Nine Clans, which is a great pressure for anyone.
I can only do what I am told, and I am extremely angry in my heart, but there is nothing I can do.
Huang Rong sighed deeply.
"Did the king just watch him do whatever he wanted?"
"The king has also hoped that he will dispel his thoughts many times, but unfortunately this guy doesn't listen to anyone and has his own considerations, so now he can only let him do whatever he wants."
Zhuang Jian felt strange, no matter how powerful the big railing was, he should obey the king's order, could it be that his identity was extremely special to cause this.
He was quite curious, hoping to learn the truth of the matter, and also speculated whether the shopkeeper was deliberately hiding some reason.
Seeing the confused eyes of the two, the shopkeeper explained again.
"You're really coming from afar, and you don't know anything about what we're going on here."
"Actually, Nalan Gang is the king's brother-in-law."
No wonder this person is a high-powered Zhuang Jian, only then can he understand that he can have such a high status in the imperial court.
It's all for the king's sake.
No one dared to refute him when he spoke.
This guy is really hateful, it seems that the war will not end, and I am afraid that many problems will occur.
Zhuang Jian also felt that this matter was more difficult to handle.
"It's really painful for all the people here to obey the arrangements of such people."
The shopkeeper seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time, and did not shake his head.
"After the two of you rest here, leave quickly, remember not to pass through Xiangyang City, it has become a battlefield now, everyone in the world knows that I advise you to be smart and take a detour."
As the words fell, he was about to turn away, but Zhuang Jian didn't get an answer because there were more important questions, he wanted to know the most crucial thing hidden in them, which was what herbs they used.
"Wait a minute, you can take this money."
Zhuang Jian hurriedly took out a few gold ingots from the package and handed them to the shopkeeper.
This frightened him and hurriedly backed off.
I didn't dare to take it easily, knowing that Zhuang Jian's identity was absolutely noble.
This kid can go on the road with so much money, which proves that he is definitely not very human.
"Don't be a guest officer, you won't be rewarded for nothing."
Zhuang Jian laughed, of course.
"Don't worry so much, we just want an answer, if you tell us, the money is yours, and I'll pay you more."
Anyone will see the money, but it is unknown whether they will be safe and sound.
In particular, not anyone's money can be arbitrary.
The shopkeeper was somewhat flustered, and he also understood that this matter was more difficult to handle.
If you take the money, there may be serious problems.
He thought about it again and again, but his eyes were fixed on money.
Of course, Huang Rong is also very able to understand people's hearts.
The shopkeeper was already completely moved, just waiting to see what they had to say.
can take this money safe and sound.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was more embarrassed, Huang Rong took the initiative to say: "Actually, there is another important thing for us to come here, I hope to get a certain herb here, I heard that it can make people invulnerable, we hope to get some back to sell, I hope the shopkeeper can show the way."
I see, the shopkeeper only then understood the true intentions of the two.
Frightened, he hurriedly took two steps back, where did he dare to have any ideas, he couldn't make this money.
If you dare to turn around, your life will inevitably be in danger.
"I advise you to quickly dispel your thoughts, that herb is our biggest secret here, and it is in the hands of the king alone."
"These herbs are also extremely difficult to obtain, and you will not succeed in any way, so I advise you to get out of here and stop messing around."
The more this is the case, the more Zhuang Jian feels.
He's always loved a challenge.
"Shopkeeper, as long as you tell me the reason, the money is yours!"
Zhuang Jian instantly poured all the money on the table, staring at him tightly, of course the shopkeeper would be tempted.
But in the face of such temptation, he was still very cautious.
I understand that I am afraid that this money will not be able to be spent.
"Of course I like money, but I also understand that not all money is available, especially since it is not as easy as you think."
"I'm sure no one will give away anything to you."
Zhuang Jian felt that this secret was really big, and he was also a little melancholy.
Huang Rong laughed and told the shopkeeper not to worry.
also enthusiastically asked him to sit on the chair, but the shopkeeper didn't want to stay here, knowing that the two were definitely not ordinary people.
"The old man has been opening an inn here for a long time, he has seen all kinds of big people, and he has also seen many people from the Central Plains who came here to inquire about secrets, if I guessed correctly, the two should also be one of them, so I hope you still let go of the old man, I really don't want to get involved in any trouble, I just want to live a stable life, I hope the two of you give me a chance."
There is no way back for the shopkeepers now, of course, to make them understand all the difficulties they have encountered.
hopes to let him live in peace, but Zhuang Jian also understands that now that his identity has been leaked, he is the only person who can help him.
"I don't know what to say to convince you that I won't betray you."
The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head.
I hope Zhuang Jian doesn't give him any promises, because he won't believe it.
"If the two of you have nothing else to do, the old man will retire first, and you can rest well."
Zhuang Jian wanted to forcibly hold Huang Long and give him a look.
Don't get into conflict.
If you provoke this person, you will be beaten with chickens and eggs.
Let's wait and wait, after the shopkeeper left the room, looking at the gold on the table, Zhuang Jian sat there with a rather lost expression.
I never thought that someone didn't love money.
If it were to be myself, of course I would choose to believe it.
He doesn't care what others think, but he is a little embarrassed by the current situation.
"This old guy is really disgusting!!"
Zhuang Jian had no means, but Huang Rong felt that with a heart, he should be able to make him believe.
It's just that the timing will be delayed.
"Brother, why are you in a hurry, I believe that one day I can move him."
But Zhuang Jian couldn't wait.
He wanted to get the secret back to help him quickly, and now that the situation was so tense, where would he want to stay here too long.
Waiting for one more day means that Xiao Feng and others will have a very hard time facing the problem.
"If the herbs are managed by the king alone, it proves that their stock should not be too much."
finally
Zhuang Jian, who calmed down, began to analyze the matter in detail.
Huang Rong also felt that it was reasonable.
If it's all over the mountain, why be so nervous, and the secret will soon be revealed.
According to Tiangang, this secret has been passed down for a hundred years.
I don't know which master can give them such a big secret.
"Our main goal now is to put it on the treasurer."
Huang Rong also had the same idea as Zhuang Jian, and finally made a plan.
In the next few days, the two had no intention of leaving here.
The shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed, knowing that he was already in trouble, and the two of them had no possibility of evacuating.
Every day, he was surrounded by his side and asked for warmth, and the torture of the old shopkeeper was beyond words.
Hopefully, the two of them will dispel their thoughts or ask someone else.
Why do you have to be attached to him?
But no matter what the shopkeeper said, the two had no intention of leaving.
also smiled faintly at him, and really treated him like a senior.
The attitude of the shopkeeper was also a little moved.
Because few people have such respect for him.
He has lived here for decades, and has always regarded him as an ordinary old man who runs an inn.
Now it's very different.
"Old man, I bought it from outside. Try the local produce."
The shopkeeper looked at it, Huang Rong smiled helplessly, knowing that this girl was very smart.
Nothing to be courteous, either a woman is a thief.
Of course, the shopkeeper also knows it.
But he pretended not to know anything, and shook his head in refusal.
said that he was old and had a bad mouth, so he let him keep it for himself, but Huang Rong had no intention of leaving.
Still sitting next to him cutely, like a granddaughter, to feed him.
makes the shopkeeper feel quite helpless, this girl is really difficult.
As for Zhuang Jian, this kid is the same, he handles everything quite well.
It's like treating the inn as your home.
Sometimes they would stand at the door to solicit customers, and these two people also gave the old man great joy.
Gradually, it seems that they have been slowly accepted.
In fact, Zhuang Jian swallowed everything and felt very depressed.
This old guy has reached the current situation, and he still hasn't told himself the real situation, it's really damn it.
Time flies quickly, and it has been more than half a month.
There was still no way to move his heart, Zhuang Jian was really a little helpless.
I don't want to wait any longer, but I have no other way, and now I have to follow the arrangements of others.
Huang Rong reminded Zhuang Jian that he had reached the most critical moment, and he must maintain a good attitude no matter what, and then speak.
Zhuang Jian also understands this matter and must do so.
Even if you don't want to, you can only do it.
Zhuang Jian is also getting in touch with Xiao Feng to see what is happening on Nalan Gang's side.
Thankfully, this guy hasn't made another move since the last loss.
Zhuang Jian gradually felt at ease, but he also understood that this matter was not so simple.
This guy must be secretly accumulating strength.
I don't know if I will attack again.
Zhuang Jian felt the pressure double.
That night, Zhuang Jian was going to use the last resort to put the knife on the old shopkeeper's neck and let him tell the truth.
He can no longer be allowed to act recklessly.
However, Huang Rong believes that this matter still needs to be acted with caution.
Bring things to an impasse.
"Why should my brother do this?"
"I don't want to wait any longer, this old guy is too tough."
While the two were still making their analysis, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It turned out that the old shopkeeper was holding a pot of good wine and a few delicious dishes.
walked in, looked at the two with a smile on their faces, and didn't know what to say.
Zhuang Jian also felt as if something was not quite right.
"The two of you have worked hard to take care of the old man for so many days, don't be polite today, let's get drunk and rest."
Zhuang Jian didn't know what he was thinking, but he agreed.
Without any thoughts, he sat down in his chair.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Finally, the old shopkeeper put down his chopsticks, "Today I will tell you everything I know."
"About the Divine Grass, of course."
