After Jiang Danling returned to his room in the East Building, he took off the disguise of a smile on his face and looked at the burning fireplace thoughtfully.

The whistle Xiaoliu, who had always been by Jiang Danling's side, didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, and slowly moved back.

Just when Sentry Xiaoliu had just retreated to the door and was about to leave, he was stopped by Jiang Danling.

Jiang Danling was still looking at the fireplace: "Little Liu, what kind of person do you think that eldest son of the Wu family is?"

Sentry Xiaoliu was puzzled: "Huh? How do you know if you're a little one?"

Jiang Danling sat down on the chair in the back: "It's not an ordinary businessman."

"That's definitely not an ordinary businessman, such a big battle, thirty carriages, how many good things do you have to load."

Jiang Danling turned his head to look at Xiao Liu: "Although I haven't seen the list of goods yet, I know that the car is nothing more than some silk brocade porcelain and the like, and there are no heavy objects."

Sentry Xiaoliu was curious, "City Lord, how do you know?"

Jiang Danling looked at the fireplace again: "Because the rut marks left by the carriage on the snow are not deep, it's strange here."

Sentry Six asked, "Why does the city lord think it's strange?"

Jiang Danling touched his half-bald head and analyzed: "The Wu family caravan, plus the single carriage, there are a total of thirty-one, thirty of which are heavy carriages, this kind of carriage is generally used to pull heavy objects, but heavy carriages need four horses, not two. And now their heavy carriages are pulled by two horses, and the carts are still loaded with silk brocade silk, and these objects can't actually be exchanged for anything in Ruiyuan, and the goods on a cart are exchanged for a bag of snow and stones, which is a loss-making transaction."

Sentry Xiaoliu stepped forward and asked, "What does the city lord mean?"

Jiang Danling looked at the scroll thrown beside him: "The scroll letter sent by the Snow Eagle was sent by the Ren Yuan Banner Council, and there is no big seal with the Star Banner, that is to say, let me treat the Wu family caravan as a distinguished guest, and I did not issue an order through the Han King, which is not in accordance with the rules."

Sentry Xiaoliu glanced at the door: "City Lord, King Han is just a symbol of Ruiyuan, everything is decided by Ren Yuanqi."

Jiang Danling leaned over and picked up the scroll: "There is also a hot stamping mark on it, this kind of hot stamping means that it must be opened and checked by me personally, I was able to become the city lord at the beginning, relying on my surname, and the strong recommendation of the Han King to Ren Yuanqi, not the trust of Ren Yuanqi's group of guys in me, so this time Ren Yuanqi bypassed the Han King and directly issued an order to me, the meaning could not be clearer, they hope that I will no longer be loyal to the current Han King."

Sentry Xiaoliu was puzzled: "Then what does this have to do with the Wu family caravan?"

Jiang Danling frowned and looked at Whistle Liu: "You have a good head, you are usually quite clever, why did you start to be stupid at this time?" The Wu family's convoy must have some kind of transaction with Ren Yuanqi, and this Wu family's eldest prince is not like a simple businessman, maybe it has something to do with the court of the Dachang Dynasty."

Whistle Xiaoliu remembered: "And his sworn brother surnamed Su, the two of them easily solved two miscellaneous people, one of whom is a descendant of the Giant Clan, how can ordinary businessmen have this kind of kung fu."

Jiang Danling said, "Yes, they didn't hide it in the slightest, it seems that they just want me to know that they are not ordinary businessmen."

Sentry Six asked in a low voice, "Then what are you going to do?"

Jiang Danling smiled: "What should I do? Banquets and entertaining."

Whistle Xiaoliu also smiled, because he knew that this Humpty Dumpty, who was not good-looking, could become Frost Snow City because of his head that didn't know what to hold.

——

The dinner was set on the first floor of the east building of Frost Snow City, which was not only the place where Tang Tang and the others lived, but also the residence of Jiang Danling, who was the city lord.

At the moment of entering the banquet hall, Tang Tang, Su Mu, Wu Wei and Cai Qianqing subconsciously stopped, because the floor of the lobby that was the dinner party was transparent, and the cave below could be clearly seen through the ground.

It feels like you're watching an ant hole at the top of it.

Because the stove in the dinner hall was burning very hot, Jiang Danling's dress was very cool, as if he was in a hot summer.

Some were dressed in white

The servant immediately stepped forward and helped Tang Tang and the others take off their heavy leather coats, then retreated to the side, knelt on the ground and held it carefully.

After Jiang Danling invited everyone to take a seat, Tang Tang looked at the white-clothed servants who were kneeling in the corner of the wall as humanoid clothes.

Tang Tang asked curiously, "Are those the famous snow slaves of Ruiyuan?"

"How is it possible," Jiang Danling shook his head and smiled, "Those who are just selected from the miscellaneous people to be servants, if the snow slaves are all of this kind of goods, who will pay to buy them?"

After that, Jiang Danling asked Tang Tang again, "Is Grand Prince Wu interested in Xuenu?" I don't have it here, but after you arrive in Tiger City, as long as you open your mouth, you choose, and I will tell you, those snow slaves are ...... one by one."

At this time, Tang Tang coughed and deliberately showed an embarrassed smile, interrupting Jiang Danling.

Jiang Danling snorted and looked at Wu Wei and Cai Qianqing: "Didn't I ask who these two are?"

Tang Tang first introduced Wu Bian: "This is my brother Wu Bian, the second son of my family."

Jiang Danling immediately got up: "Jiang Danling has seen the second son."

Wu Wei smiled and clenched his fists in return, but did not speak.

Tang Tang looked at Cai Qianqing, who was sitting a little farther away: "This is Cai Qianqing, you can call him Mr. Cai."

Jiang Danling clasped his fists and saluted: "Hello Mr. Cai, I don't know who Mr. Cai is?"

Cai Qianqing just smiled slightly, gave a look back, didn't get up, and put on a posture.

Tang Tang lowered his voice and said to Jiang Danling, "That...... Mr. Chua is our bookkeeper and has a bit of an odd temper, so don't be surprised."

Jiang Danling suddenly realized, and smiled all over his face: "Mr. Cai, it's Danling who is negligent."

Cai Qianqing didn't think so, just sat there, although he didn't have disdain, he exuded arrogance.

Su Mu also felt strange, what is the identity of this Cai Qianqing?

Since Cai Qianqing didn't say it himself, Tang Tang can only make up the identity of an account room by the way, but the shelves of this account room are too big, right?

At this time, the little bell had already left the carriage alone, wandering around the clearing of Frost Snow City, which had been swallowed by darkness, and walked to the entrance to the dungeon of Frost Snow City, and after a little hesitation, he walked straight in.

At the banquet, Tang Tang did not continue the previous topic, but asked some about the situation in the outer city of the canyon, such as what do you mean by miscellaneous people?

Jiang Danling explained: "No matter when, there will be people from other origins who come to Ruiyuan, in the past, we took all the orders, after all, Ruiyuan is a place that is rarely populated, but it is not a good thing, except for good things, do everything. Therefore, later it was restricted—as the second stop, Frost Snow City had to be screened, but not every day, once a month."

Tang Tang understood, "Therefore, he ordered an outer city to be set up in the canyon for those people to live temporarily?"

Jiang Danling nodded, and after raising his hand, several servants waiting on the side came to the table to pour wine for them.

The servant who poured the wine was also dressed in white, but his appearance was really ugly, and he used to be a rough man.

Jiang Danling said: "The people who live in the outer city of the canyon are called miscellaneous people, and the inner city will screen them once a month, and if they are useful, let them in first, most of them start with the subordinates, and some people are more special, and they will be hired or bought by some merchants in the dungeon."

After Jiang Danling finished speaking, he raised his glass: "This glass of wine on behalf of Frost Snow City is a tribute to the four distinguished guests, and the hospitality is not good, and I also invite you Haihan."

Except for Cai Qianqing, the other three all got up, and even Su Mu changed his usual indifference. Only Cai Qianqing deliberately didn't get up, but just symbolically raised the cup, and her gestures were all arrogant.

When Tang Tang looked at Jiang Danling, his face was full of apology and helplessness, and he told Jiang Danling with his eyes: Cai Qianqing is this virtue.

Jiang Danling still didn't care, nor was he angry, with a smile on his face.

Su Mu looked at the place below the transparent floor, "The dungeon is down there?"

Jiang Danling also looked down: "There are originally many caves in the Frost Snow Mountain, but in fact, those caves can be called the real Frost Snow City, because most of the people live there."

Su Mu was curious, "Why do you live underground?"

Jiang Danling said with a smile: "Brother Su, there are very few places that can be inhabited in Ruiyuan, and there are only a few places that can be called cities. Although there are many caves, who dares to live alone? Even if there are hundreds of people gathered together, they dare not live in the inaccessible deep mountains, there are not only snow demon clans but also monsters in the snowy mountains, and they are full of dangers everywhere, not to mention that the problem of eating and drinking cannot be solved in the deep mountains."

Su Mu nodded, no longer speaking, knowing that his question was a little stupid.

Tang Tang looked at the ground: "The people of Ruiyuan are all gathered in the three places of Frost Snow City, Tiger City, and Summer Capital?"

Jiang Danling drank all the wine in the cup, revealing a comfortable face, and said at the same time, "There is also Luoyu Harbor. There are the most people in the port of Luoyu, because now unless it is for business, if other people want to come to Ruiyuan, they must first go to the port by sea, and even if they dock, there is no way to easily enter the territory of Ruiyuan, so the current small villages around the harbor of Luoyu Port have formed one after another, and the chaos is indescribable."

Those outlaws who want to settle in Ruiyuan to save their lives usually find a way to bribe the nearby navy there after arriving at Rakuha Harbor, get permission to enter Ruiyuan, and then go to the outer city of Frost Snow Castle Canyon.

Most of the outlaws don't have much money on them, only one bad life, so they can only stay in the outer city of the canyon every day and wait for good luck to come. Being selected as a subordinate is equivalent to getting the opportunity to enter Frost Snow City, but it takes at least three years to be able to regain your free body, but generally five years.

Why five years? Because the first three years of being a subordinate here require eating and drinking, eating and drinking costs money, and the money spent on eating and drinking needs to be compensated for by being a subordinate for another two years, in fact, it is to change the way to exploit these outlaws who have no way out.

Being a subordinate is also a way to restrain these outlaws, completely destroying their arrogance, and letting these guys who were once famous in the Plains know that as long as they come to Ruiyuan, they are as worthless as snow everywhere.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to be hired or bought by the people who do business in the dungeon.

However, those who can afford to hire those miscellaneous people in Frost Snow City are all big merchants, because even if they normally hire miscellaneous people from other cities, they need to pay very heavy taxes, which is why only those who have the ability and can be useful will be favored by the so-called good luck.

While Jiang Danling was still introducing all aspects of Frost Snow City to Tang Tang and the others, the little bell had already entered the dungeon.
