Chapter Seventy-Two: Collaboration with the Enemy

The people of the Bone Clan are usually five big and three thick, tall and big, and their voices are extremely loud, so a few people have only quietly touched a distance of more than ten meters, and they can clearly hear what the Bone Clan is saying.

"I've heard about it in the Bone Clan, your Tianyuan has a bumper harvest this year?"

"Yes, yes, it's all good food! I'm satisfied! ”

"Who in the world doesn't know that our bone clan has always been bold and generous? Rest assured, as long as your food satisfies us, then our prices will definitely satisfy you! ”

"Hahaha, I don't care who you are to send it to me, I only recognize food! Just send us the food! ”

"Hmmm! Your Zhao family is really good! ”

“……”

The two sides were talking, but several people could only hear the content of the bone clan's words, and the other party seemed to be a Tianyuan person, and his voice was much smaller than that of the bone clan, so he couldn't really hear it at all.

But even if you only listen to the words of the bone people, you can guess what they are doing.

Someone secretly communicates with the bone clan and is delivering food to it!

Although the Bone Clan and the Tian Yuan Empire have been trading for many years, there are many merchants running around the two realms, buying and selling to earn huge profits. But food, iron tools, armor and other materials have always been firmly controlled by the government, and merchants are strictly forbidden to sell them to the bone clan!

The Bone Clan is located in the extremely cold land of the north, the climate is harsh, only this piece of land close to the Tian Yuan Empire can be cultivated, and the rest of the land cannot grow any crops at all.

Therefore, in previous years, the grain of the bone clan was often not enough to eat, and they needed to beg with the Tian Yuan Empire and exchange a large amount of money for food. But the bone clan wants to buy the grain of the Tian Yuan Empire, and the price is extremely high! In other words, it is more than ten times more expensive than the price of grain circulation in the Tianyuan Empire!

It seems that the bone clan is not all stupid people, and they actually began to secretly communicate with the Tianyuan people, directly bypassing the government to buy food!

However, it is also true that bypassing the Tianyuan Mansion, the Bone Clan only needs to pay two or three times the market price, and there are countless people who are willing to risk killing their heads and secretly transport food for them.

Even if they are discovered and caught by the government halfway, the bone clan will have nothing to lose, it is nothing more than a change of collaborators. Anyway, there will always be many people in the world who value profit and commit suicide, but the money of the bone clan has been really saved.

At this moment, Xie Tiejun and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes!

They know that it is a felony for the Dark Bone Clan to sell food, and as long as they report this matter, it will be a great achievement!

At that time, Niu Zhuang and Li Xiaoqing will be promoted to captain, and Wang Qi can easily transfer to the city defense army, and there is no need to try his luck in the government office.

And Xie Baojun, as the captain of the army, has the greatest credit, and it is estimated that there is no problem in being promoted to a captain with this merit, and when the time comes, he can directly transfer to the city defense army as a team leader!

If the other party is a big fish and has enough credit, Xie Baojun can even choose to stay in the scout camp to see if he can go further and reach the pinnacle of life!

In an instant, several people seemed to see their bright future!

Xie Baojun turned around and gestured to a few people, motioning for everyone to continue walking forward to see who was trading with the Bone Clan.

There must be a lot of people from the Bone Clan who came to pick up the grain and Tian Yuan who came to deliver the grain, and it was impossible for the four of Xie Baojun to arrest them alone. Even as long as they are discovered by the other party, the four of them will definitely die!

But they must see the face of the person who deals with the bone clan, and it is better to know which firm, family, or power person it is, otherwise how can they report it to the top?

Wealth and danger are sought!

Several people glanced at each other, and at this time, even Li Xiaoqing, who was the most timid and scared, had firmness in his eyes. Glory and wealth are just around the corner, and no one will back down!

The four of them continued to walk, each step extremely slow, cautious, not daring to make a single movement. Soon, the four of them would be able to hear the Tian Yuan people who were trading with the Bone Clan.

"Lord Ao, in the future, the matter will be handed over to our Zhao family, you can rest assured!"

"Our Zhao family is much more reliable than their Liu family. Without further ado, we'll see you later! ”

"Yes, yes, we still have a long time to get along in the future. When you have more contact in the future, you will know who I am! ”

"Lord Ao is reasonable, it really makes my brother hate to see each other late! If it weren't for the inopportune place, my brother would really like to have a few drinks with Lord Ao! ”

“……”

Carefully noting the conversation between the two sides, analyzing the information in the words in their minds, the four of them kept touching the front until they could see the people on both sides of the transaction before stopping.

I saw that one of them was really a bone tribe, there were only a dozen people, and the head was a bald strong man, with a rough face, brown and yellow hair was tied into locks of hair, and tattoos could be seen on the neck.

On the other side are the Tianyuan people, there are at least 30 people, holding more than ten carriages, and the back of the carriage is full of sacks, and it is estimated that they are filled with grain.

And after seeing the appearance of the leader of the Tianyuan people, Xie Baojun couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly said in his heart: "It's Zhao Dabao?" It's really the Zhao family in the west of the city! ”

Just through the dialogue between the two sides, Xie Baojun already knew that it was the Zhao family who traded with the bone clan, but he was not sure which Zhao family it was. After seeing Zhao Dabao at this time, I finally determined in my heart that it was the Zhao family who specialized in the medicinal materials business according to Ma Chengxi!

If it is changed to another family, Xie Baojun really may not know him. But the Zhao family and the Xie family are both in the medicinal herb business, and they are old rivals, and the two sides often have conflicts. So Xie Baojun knows many people in the Zhao family, including this Zhao Dabao!

Seeing that it was the Zhao family who was the one who collaborated with the enemy bone clan, Xie Baojun was even more excited in his heart, and even trembled slightly with excitement!

If the Zhao family can be brought down with this, wouldn't it be regarded as solving the competitors for the family and making a great contribution?

Kill two birds with one stone! Kill two birds with one stone!

When the time comes, he will be given a meritorious promotion in the army, and at the same time, the Xie family will also entrust him with heavy use! With the strong help of the family, he can't imagine where he can go in the future!

Now that they know who the forces that trade with the bone clan are, a few people can leave. Although there is no tangible evidence, just a few people have seen it, as long as it is reported, I believe that the government will naturally have the means to find out the truth!

The Zhao family secretly transported grain, and there were more than ten cars at a time, and no one paid attention to such a big move. But if you look closely, you won't be left without a trace!

Several people glanced at each other, and slowly retreated and were about to leave, but Li Xiaoqing was too nervous and stepped on a branch when he retreated!

Smack-

The sound of branches being trampled on sounded.

Xie Baojun and several people had a "grunt" in their hearts, but fortunately, there were often large and small beasts and animals passing through the woods, and they were not silent, plus the two sides were talking, and the voice of the bone clan was very loud, and the sound of a branch being trampled did not alarm the two sides who were trading.

Xie Baojun and Wang Qi looked at Li Xiaoqing at the same time, gave him a cold look of warning, and signaled him to be careful.

Li Xiaoqing had cold sweat on his head, his back was soaked, and he nodded with palpitations.

When the four of them were about to continue to retreat, they heard a shout coming from the direction where the four came: "Captain? Chico? Where are you? I'm coming for you! ”

Not good!

Xie Baojun's hearts sank, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the transaction between the bone clan and the Zhao family.

And the people of the Bone Clan and the Zhao family were already alarmed at this time, and Qi Qi set their eyes on the location where the four of them were hiding, and through the cascading branches and trees, the eyes of the two sides seemed to meet in mid-air!

"Run apart!"

After Xie Baojun roared angrily, he immediately pulled out his legs and ran wildly!

……

There are six households in one lane of West Eighth Street.

After Qingluo bought the vegetables, Cheng Jingling personally cooked and made a table of sumptuous dishes.

This made Qingluo very ashamed, and secretly swore in her heart that she must improve her cooking skills as soon as possible and share the work for the master!

After the meal was ready, Cheng Jingling went to the side and called Bai Qianqian and Liu Qingyan, mother and daughter, to come to the house to eat together.

At this time, the table was full of delicacies, but the atmosphere was a little dull.

Bai Qianqian's eyes were still a little red and swollen, her face was depressed, and even the fat powder couldn't cover her gray demeanor.

And because of Bai Qianqian, Liu Qingyan's interest was not high, and the whole person was sullen, and only when his eyes swept the food on the table, would he leak a trace of desire.

Seeing this, Gu Jinlai couldn't help but persuade aloud: "Qianqian, you also want to open something, everything is fate." Fortunately, Jing Ling caught Gai Yajun, which can be regarded as avenging Xiao Zhao's family, so that they will not be blinded! ”

Bai Qianqian shook her head when she heard this, and smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Gu, I'm fine." ”

Among several people, they have known the Zhao family for the longest time in ancient and modern times, and have been neighbors for many years. But if you say that you have the deepest friendship, it has to be Bai Qianqian.

When Bai Qianqian was in difficulty, it was the Zhao family and his wife who helped her, so that she went through the saddest two years after Liu Sheng's death.

Bai Qianqian is a person with a hard life, her mother died because she gave birth to her, her father left early, fortunately she met Liu Sheng, and after the two got married, she had something to rely on again. But the two haven't been in love for two years, seeing that their daughter is about to be born, and they can live in harmony as a family, but Liu Sheng died.

Liu Sheng died, and he only cared about escaping from ancient and modern times, leaving Bai Qianqian alone, thanks to the help of the Zhao family and his wife. After a few years of getting along, Bai Qianqian has already regarded the Zhao family and his wife as brothers and sisters, but now the family has died tragically.

Bai Qianqian was sad, not only sad for the Zhao family, but also lamenting herself.

Sometimes, she even wonders if she is a lone star? Otherwise, why do all the people who have a good relationship with them end up with a good end!

"Did Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao pass away?" Liu Qingyan suddenly spoke up, and asked with red eyes, "Is Xiaoqi also dead?" ”

Although Liu Qingyan is only seven or eight years old, she is talented and intelligent, and she already understands what life and death are. Yesterday, she guessed that something had happened to the Zhao family through Bai Qianqian's reaction and Cheng Jingling's words, and at this moment, the words of ancient and modern times completely confirmed her guess.

Bai Qianqian touched Liu Qingyan's head, and then gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and said softly: "Well, Uncle Zhao's family has encountered some unfortunate things. In the future, we will never see Uncle Zhao and them again. ”

Bai Qianqian was not prepared to hide this matter from Liu Qingyan all the time, and it was impossible to hide it. The reason why I didn't tell her immediately yesterday was just because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take into account Liu Qingyan's emotions when I collapsed. But at this time, seeing that she already knew, she did not deny it.

Liu Qingyan lowered his head, and a drop of tears fell down as if they were strung into a thread.

Seeing Liu Qingyan crying, Bai Qianqian's emotions were aroused, and her eyes were full of tears again.

Gu Jinlai felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and immediately sighed, not knowing what to say more, so he could only raise his glass and drink the wine in the glass!

Cheng Jingling raised his hand and touched Liu Qingyan's head, and comforted Bai Qianqian: "Aunt Bai, things have happened, so don't be able to get along with yourself anymore." Don't forget, you still have research and research to take care of. You don't want Yanyan to be as sad as you and wash your face with tears, right? You have to be strong to better protect Yanyan! ”

Sure enough, the child is a mother's fatal weakness.

After hearing Cheng Jingling's words, Bai Qianqian finally cheered up, picked up chopsticks and put a piece of Liu Qingyan's favorite braised pork in front of her, and said softly: "Yanyan, don't cry, let's eat." If you feel uncomfortable, eat more, when my mother was unhappy when she was a child, it was like this. When you're full, you'll be in a better mood! ”

Liu Qingyan raised his head with teary eyes, sobbed and ate the braised pork, and then praised Cheng Jingling while crying: "Big brother, the dishes you make are so delicious!" ”

Cheng Jingling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you can eat more!" ”

Then, several people also started eating with chopsticks at the same time.

After the atmosphere at the table eased slightly, Gu Jinlai changed the topic and said to Cheng Jingling: "Jingling, when I go back today, grandpa will go to Lao Yuan and ask him to talk to Li Tuanjie and implement your promotion!" ”

"Are you in such a hurry?" Cheng Jingling asked with some surprise.

Gu Jinlai explained: "You are promoted to the Iron Cloak as soon as possible, and then the case of Gai Yajun can be transferred to your team to be responsible." As the captain of the team, you are also the captor of the Gai Ya Army, and the credit can not be shared, all of it will be counted on your head! ”

Ancient and modern times are the old fritters of Wuwei, who were bent on pursuing fame, fortune and power before they were abolished, and they are clear about how to operate to get more credit.

It turned out to be for merit ... Cheng Jingling couldn't help but think of what Lin Shuwu said to him when he left yesterday, frowned slightly, and hesitated: "But, don't I need to wait for the credit of capturing Gai Yajun first, and then be promoted to the iron-clad messenger with this merit?" ”

"Huh." Gu Jinlai smiled meaningfully: "For others, it is true, but well... A lot of times, the order of things isn't that important, you know? ”

"Understood..."Cheng Jingling nodded clearly, but his expression was still a little tangled, and he frowned: "But... Grandpa, let's follow the rules, the grandson has the confidence to earn more credit with his strength in the future, and this is not bad. ”

"Oh?" Gu Jinlai looked at Cheng Jingling with a somewhat surprised expression, and after a little silence, he suddenly realized: "Are you worried about the feelings of the Iron Third Team?" It's also that I ignored it, but I didn't expect you to be able to leave a friendship with them after only a few days on the job. Indeed, you are not bad for this credit, just now it is just the best choice that grandpa thinks, since you don't want to, then continue to let the triathlon team deal with the case of the Gai runner, anyway, it is the Gai Ya Jun that you caught alone, and the credit will definitely not be less, and they will just drink the soup. However, the promotion should be decided sooner rather than later, and it will save you from complications and any further changes. I'll go to Lao Yuan in the afternoon and let him deal with it as soon as possible! ”

This time, Cheng Jingling did not refute again, but nodded kindly and agreed to the arrangement of the past and the present.
