Kang Yongzhi couldn't tell the purpose of King Xi's trip to Liangcheng, even if the Kang family had already received the news that something had happened to Rouyuan Palace, but Kang Yongzhi, a naturally suspicious person, was still unsure.

The main reason for Kang Yongzhi's uneasiness is that the transaction he made with the Tors Department this time is different from those of the past private salt, iron tools, etc., because this time he is mainly acting as a middleman, and the party A of the transaction is a mysterious merchant, and Party B is the Tors department, and the goods are transported by Party A to Liangcheng, temporarily stored in the Kang family, and then the Kang family will hand over the goods to the people of the Tors department to complete the transaction.

In other words, the location of this transaction was in Liangcheng, and the reason why Kang Yongzhi took over the deal was entirely because if he did not do so, he would risk ruining the special relationship he had established with the Tors Department for many years of trafficking.

As the saying goes, you can't be rich for three generations, but Kang Yongzhi is a capable person who has increased the ancestral property left by his grandfather tenfold, and the reason why he can do this is precisely because he knows the meaning of the words "check and fill in the gaps".

The loophole that Kang Yongzhi found was the overall situation in Jiuyuan, and it could also be seen from what the neighboring forces lacked.

The reason for the soft is the grassland, because of the geographical reasons, the lack of iron, vegetables and fruits, and the nearby Rui reason is that it is in the cold for most of the year, although the minerals are rich and there is no shortage of iron, but the lack is a lot of food. What Liangcheng lacked was meat, although the territory of Huayuan also raised poultry and livestock, but animal husbandry was far inferior to Rouyuan, so Kang Yongzhi secretly exchanged iron tools and vegetables and fruits for cattle and sheep in Rouyuan, all of which were bartered.

However, if a large number of cattle and sheep appeared in Liangcheng, they would inevitably be suspected, so Kang Yongzhi except for a small part left, most of the rest were directly sold to Ruiyuan, who was in urgent need of food, and exchanged for rich mineral resources, such as iron ore or cold iron ore, so as to circulate.

In the final analysis, if it weren't for the feud between the Rouyuan Tuoersi and the Ruiyuan Yan clan, in addition to vegetables and fruits, they could supply each other, but the enmity between the two forces entrenched in the two places could not be easily resolved, which contributed to the Kang family, a middleman, to seek a lot of benefits from it.

Although Ji Chengying, as the emperor, had known about this matter for a long time, he was very puzzled, what channel did the Kang family use to transport the goods to Rouyuan and Ruiyuan?

Although Rouyuan and Ruiyuan are adjacent to each other, and the Tuo Sibu and the Yan clan are constantly fighting for territory, there are only three ways to enter, if you don't cross the Wulian Mountain to enter Rouyuan, and then enter the Ruiyuan territory from Rouyuan. Either you can enter Ruiyuan directly through Gucheng, or you can go around a large circle by sea and then enter Ruiyuan.

If you want to enter Ruiyuan by sea, the closest way can only choose to start from the coastal sea of Tuoyuan, but it is impossible for the Kang family to establish any relationship with Ruiyuan, and they cannot directly enter Ruiyuan through the valley city that now controls the Tors Department to do business, even if they can safely cross the Wulian Mountain, it is impossible for the Tuo Si Department to let the people of the Kang family directly enter Ruiyuan from there.

Taking a step back, how did the Kang family deliver the goods to Johor? Is it directly over the dangerous foggy mountains? That's absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Ji Chengying's trip does have another purpose, that is, to find out the freight channels of the Kang family, and his intuition tells him that there must be something wrong with this, and if he doesn't find out the situation early, it may bury great hidden dangers for the future.

Because since it is possible to secretly transport goods, it is also possible to smuggle soldiers, and it is good that this channel is mastered by the imperial court, but if it falls into the hands of Ruiyuan or Rouyuan, it will be bad.

When Kang Yongzhi personally led people all over the city to buy local food for Ji Chengying, Xue Yun, who was the chief of staff, immediately rode to the Tianqian Army Banner Camp outside the city, because the goods to be transported by the seller were hidden in the Banner Camp at this moment, because the military camp was the safest place to hide the goods.

In the Tianqian Army Banner Camp, there is a sentry team guarding the elite of the Tianqian Army outside a tent in the corner, their duty is to protect the people and goods in the tent, except for Kang Yongzhi and Xue Yun, anyone who trespasses can be executed on the spot.

Inside the huge tent, apart from the iron cage covered with black cloth, there was only a simple bed, and the person who came to deliver the goods was lying on the bed at this moment.

Even when the consignor slept, he was masked, wrapped in a big coat, revealing only the pair of sword eyebrows and the pair of piercing eyes.

The moment the tent curtain was lifted and the sunlight shone in, the transporter immediately got up and directly grabbed the scabbard next to him, and only then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Xue Yun.

Xue Yun stepped forward slowly, bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "Childe, King Xi's convoy has just entered Liangcheng, and Lord Taishou is accompanying him, so I will be sent to tell Childe." ”

The delivery man known as Childe nodded when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the people who came to receive the goods from the Tors Department?" Haven't arrived yet? ”

Xue Yun shook his head: "It's not here yet, we don't know what way they will use it, who will send it, according to the agreed time, it should be tonight." ”

The delivery man looked at Xue Yun and asked, "Anyway, if the Tuo Si Department doesn't pick up the goods at the third watch tonight, I have to go back, otherwise it will be easy to make trouble." ”

Xue Yun soothed: "Son, don't worry, the people of the Tuo Si Department have always kept the contract. ”

The delivery man asked, "I'm just curious, after receiving the goods, how do you deliver them to Johor?" Is it really foggy? ”

After that, the delivery man looked at the two iron cages covered in black cloth, as if some beast was locked in the iron cages. With two iron cages of this size, not to mention walking through the fog and mountains, even if they are transported by horse-drawn carriage on flat ground, it is not an easy task.

Xue Yun said with a smile: "There is no need for Gongzi to worry about this matter, we have our own way." ”

Seeing that Xue Yun refused to reveal half a word, the delivery man didn't ask any more questions, but just sat down on the simple bed again, staring at one of the iron cages.

Xue Yun knew what was locked in one of the two iron cages, because he could clearly feel it, but what was in the other iron cage?

Xue Yun said again: "Son, wait a minute, I'll go and bring the wine and food." ”

The delivery man said, "It's okay to have food, I don't drink, thank you." ”

On the day of the transaction, it is natural that you cannot drink alcohol.

Xue Yun left the tent after answering, and the delivery man pulled down the black mask that covered half of his face, revealing that delicate but weak face. Although even if the people here see his true face, they will not know his identity, but if someone recognizes him, then the Nanrong family will be completely finished.

Because the face under the mask is Nan Rong Yuankai, the youngest son of Nan Rong Qufeng, the stuffy gourd who only started talking at the age of five. In the eyes of others, Nan Rong Yuankai is completely different from his eldest brother Nan Rong Zhongwei, except for touring the mountains and rivers, he doesn't care about anything else.

Although Hu Shen thinks that Nanrong Zhongwei, the two sons of Nanrong Qufeng, is a malleable talent, Nanrong Qufeng prefers the second son Nanrong Yuankai, as for the reason, only Nanrong Qufeng himself knows.

So, why did Nan Rong Yuankai become a delivery person, and what were the two iron cages he brought? What exactly is the Nanrong family going to sell to the Tors Department?

——

Downstairs in Liangcheng City, Tang Xiaohao, Little Bell, Su Mu, Ah Mao, Yueyan, Childa and Baomeng stood there, looking at the two big characters "Liangcheng" written on the building sign below the city tower.

After the little bell woke up from his sleep, he became a little taciturn, he didn't talk much along the way, and seemed to be full of thoughts, so he just followed Tang Xiaohao. As for Tang Xiaohao, he made up his mind in his heart to follow Bao Meng to Rouyuan, for him, this has already begun the adventure of Jiuyuan.

Su Mu is very contradictory, although he has survived the control of Jing Yuan, but now that his martial arts are lost, it is equivalent to a waste, there are 100% people from the Xuan Department in the Liangcheng realm, maybe the Xuan Department commander Aoki will come in person, and when the time comes, he will definitely let him re-serve the Jing Yuan, and then Su Mu will become the puppet of the Xuan Department again.

Bao Meng was very surprised, why didn't Ah Mo and Yueyan take the path to bypass Liangcheng, but wanted to enter Liangcheng? Moreover, Ah Mo also said that he wanted to take Tang Xiaohao, a concubine, as a hostage, could it be possible to enter Liangcheng with the hostage and be safe?

Bao Meng frowned and looked at Cerda, then cast a puzzled look at Ah Mo, and then looked at Childa, because Childa seemed to be very much in favor of Ah Mo's decision to come to Liangcheng, as if Childa needed to do something in Liangcheng.

Ah Mo explained: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, come with me." ”

Tang Xiaohao stretched his waist, looked at the silent and expressionless little bell beside him and said, "What's wrong with you?" Haven't said a word these days? ”

Yueyan still walked at the end of a few people, even if she was monitoring from the rear, but she also deliberately kept her distance.

Little Bell glanced sideways at Yue Yan and asked Tang Xiaohao in a low voice, "Don't you think I'm weird?" ”

Tang Xiaohao said deliberately: "What do you mean?" ”

"How did I become a snowman?" Little Bell's face was full of sadness, "According to what you said before, the cold air of the Frozen Inn came out of my body, how could I do this?" What the hell is going on? Who am I? Aren't you surprised at all? ”

Although Tang Xiaohao was also curious about this matter, and even said that he was a little scared, he knew very well that the little bell had lost his memory, and if he was curious now, the little bell would be more painful. Therefore, Tang Xiaohao could only pretend to be unimpressed and didn't care about this matter.

Tang Xiaohao comforted: "The cold in your body can only mean one thing. ”

Little Bell asked a little nervously, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "The moisture in your body is too heavy. I'll shave you when you get back, and you'll be fine with a cupping. ”

The little bell rolled her eyes angrily, and Tang Xiaohao chased after her with a hippie smile and said: "You are talented, you think, I will be blessed in the hot summer in the future, when the weather is hot, you will become a snowman, and you will start to feel cold outside, and it will be refreshing to think about it." ”

The little bell was already uncomfortable, but looking at Tang Xiaohao's hippie smiling face, he was even more angry, and he almost didn't raise his foot and kicked it.

At this moment, Tang Xiaohao saw a group of beggars sitting on the street, and suddenly remembered what Situ Changan said that his eldest brother Wu Tianlu was in Liangcheng, maybe this group of beggars knew where the eldest brother was?

Tang Xiaohao thought that he would find Wu Tianlu to discuss what to do next, as long as Princess Baomeng's affairs were handled properly, he could follow Wu Tianlu to the rivers and lakes.

So, Tang Xiaohao took advantage of the fact that Ah Mao, Childa and Bao Meng were getting farther and farther away in front of him, and he immediately walked towards the group of beggars.

Seeing this, Little Bell and Su Mu followed, Yueyan was worried that something would change, and she didn't have time to call Ah Mao, so she had to go forward to see what was going on.

As soon as Little Bell, Su Mu and Yueyan stepped forward, they heard Tang Xiaohao say to a beggar: "After seeing you, I just want to be a kind of person." ”

Little Bell, Su Mu and Yueyan were stunned when they heard this, they didn't know what Tang Xiaohao was doing? And the beggar looked at Tang Xiaohao with his mouth half-open, as if he was looking at a fool.

Su Mu leaned in and asked, "Donkey, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tang Xiaohao saw that the group of beggars did not react, and wondered if Situ Chang'an's code was probably useful in Shendu City? Not useful in Liangcheng? Just as he was about to get up, he heard a deep voice from one of the beggars: "Who? ”

Tang Xiaohao was overjoyed when he heard this, because he recognized that the voice was none other than the eldest brother Wu Tianlu he was thinking about day and night, so Tang Xiaohao almost said in a trembling voice: "Your person!" ”

This scene made Little Bell, Su Mu and Yueyan almost explode on the spot.

is not the first scumbag in Shendu City, not only is the scum so bad that even beggars are not spared, but both men and women eat it!
