For a while, everyone stood up and greeted Shang Luoluo.

"Miss Shang!"

"Falling girl!"

Shang Luoluo nodded in response, and then smiled.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in this cocktail party, light wine and side dishes, and I hope you don't dislike it."

"Miss Luoluo is too polite, if this is a thin wine and side dish, then I really don't know what is rich." Someone laughed.

"That's it, Miss Shang is so gracious."

"If you're satisfied!"

Saying this, Shang Luoluo picked up his wine glass, toasted everyone first, and then chatted.

Zhao Ya watched from the side, and saw that this merchant was falling left and right, no matter who he could talk to, and it would not make people feel abrupt, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.

If nothing else, this means of communication alone is enough to prove that this merchant is not an ordinary person.

At this time, Xu De came over with wine, "Do you think that this business girl is not an ordinary person?" ”

Zhao Ya nodded, "It's a little." ”

Xu De sighed: "I also felt this way when I first met her. ”

"This drinking party has been around for four or five years, you must know that this merchant girl is only twenty years old this year, which means that as early as when she was fifteen years old, she began to consciously gather many martial arts rookies."

"Although in the beginning, many people came for the sake of her father's face as the guardian of the county, but slowly, as the influence of this drinking party grew, people gradually changed this concept."

"Nowadays, many people come for this drinking party for nothing else, after all, being able to participate in the business party also proves that your strength and reputation have been recognized, and this only needs to pay some insignificant money for wine and food, which is really a terrible means."

In the end, Xu De couldn't help but drink all the wine in the cup, then patted Zhao Ya's shoulder and pointed to the distance.

"See, Senior Brother Miao is usually such an open-minded person, but now when he chats with this business girl, he is like a student."

Zhao Ya naturally noticed this scene a long time ago.

Just now, Miao Shaocheng gave himself the strength to be here for a long time, so he dared to go up and talk to Shang Luoluo.

But before he could say a word, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body was as stiff as a piece of wood.

Even Zhao Ya wanted to laugh when he saw it.

"Don't think that Senior Brother Miao is like this, in fact, I know that there are at least several young and promising young people who are interested in this business girl, but they don't dare to go up and talk to them casually, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because this merchant girl's eyes seem to be able to speak, no matter what you say, she just looks at you with a smile, and her heart is weak when she looks at her." Xu De said.

"It seems that Senior Brother Xu knows this merchant girl very well, isn't it also interesting to her?" Zhao Ya rarely gossiped once.

Xu De smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't dare to be interested in such a woman, because she is so smart that it is difficult for ordinary people to control." ”

"I like the kind of girl who is gentle and virtuous, and preferably stupid. Look, Senior Brother Miao can't hold on. ”

Sure enough.

didn't say a word, this Miao Shaocheng was defeated, and came back with a depressed face.

"How? What did you talk about with Miss Shang? Xu De asked with a smile.

"Alas, don't mention it, I thought about a lot of interesting things before I came, but when I actually saw her, my mind went blank and I couldn't remember anything." Miao Shaocheng said helplessly.

Xu De patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, compared to the previous times, this time there is still progress, at least you talk a little more." ”

Miao Shaocheng was extremely depressed and went to the side to drink.

At this moment, I saw that this Shang Luoluo actually came over with a wine glass.

"Senior Brother Xu, what are you talking about with Senior Brother Zhao, and you are so happy to say it?"

Xu De laughed, "I didn't talk about anything, I was just praising you." ”

"Praise me? What do I have to boast about, compared to those of you who are brave and diligent in martial arts, I am just a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken. ”

Saying that, Shang Luoluo raised his glass at Zhao Ya.

"In terms of age, I'm actually older than you, but the master is the first, so I'll call you senior brother, thank you for participating in this drinking party."

"You're welcome!"

Zhao Ya responded, and then naturally raised his glass and took a sip.

A different color flashed in Shang Luoluo's eyes.

I don't know how many teenagers Toshihiko is at a loss when facing himself.

Of course, there are some people who will put on a posture and try to get their attention.

No one has ever behaved so calmly like the young man in front of him.

is so calm that even if he is looking at himself, his eyes are not the slightest wave.

Sure enough, he's an interesting person!

This thought flashed in Shang Luoluo's heart, and then he didn't leave, but talked to Zhao Ya with a smile.

"I heard that Senior Brother Zhao is from Dancing Elephant City?"

"Yes!"

"Dancing Elephant City is very far away from here, so it must be very hard to walk."

"It's okay!"

"Are you still used to living in the county?"

"Get used to it!"

Zhao Ya responded casually, but his gaze stayed in the distance.

The people sitting over there were all women.

Although it is said that most of the people who practice martial arts are men, the atmosphere of martial arts practice in Yunxiao County is very strong, so some wealthy families or families with some family assets will also let their daughters learn martial arts.

There are many such situations in the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall alone.

So it's not surprising that there are so many women at this party.

But Zhao Ya's focus was not these, he noticed that Senior Sister Meng Shiwen didn't know when she came, and she was sitting at the woman's table at the moment.

Not only that, but there was also a tall woman sitting next to her, and the two were chatting happily.

This woman is very beautiful, especially very tall.

However, Zhao Ya always felt that the momentum on this woman's body was a little uncomfortable, so he frowned slightly.

At this time, Shang Luoluo also noticed Zhao Ya's gaze, and couldn't help but smile after looking at it.

"I have a good relationship with Senior Sister Meng, and she often comes to my drinking parties."

"Oh, who is that woman talking to my senior sister?"

"She, her name is Han Suyun, and she is also a woman who practices martial arts, and her strength is good, what? Senior Brother Zhao is interested? Shang Luoluo joked.

After listening to Shang Luoluo's introduction, Zhao Ya couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could it be his own delusion just now?

"No, just ask."

Shang Luoluo's eyes fluttered when he heard this, and he smiled silently.

At the same time, many people noticed Shang Luoluo and Zhao Ya's side, especially when they seemed to be talking happily, which couldn't help but make many people grit their teeth secretly.

This Zhao Ya has been really in the limelight lately.

Even Miss Shang seemed to look at him differently.

How can this not make people jealous.

Fortunately, at this moment, Shang Luoluo accused Zhao Ya, and then turned around and left.

After she left, Xu De, who had been hiding to the side, came out, and then asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao, Miss Shang seems to value you very much." ”

"Is there one?"

"Of course, you know she rarely talks to someone for so long."

"Oh." Zhao Ya was unmoved.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter to him whether he values it or not.

Now he just wants to know the origin of the Han Suyun who chatted with Meng Shiwen.

There is also whether there are any surprising treasures in the major trading houses this time.

At this moment, Shang Luoluo clapped his hands gently, and then walked to the front of the stage and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, people from seven commercial firms have also come to the scene today, and they have written out their respective needs and price codes, and those who are interested can contact them by themselves."

Really.

At a table next to him sat seven people, each with a wooden sign in front of them that indicated what to commission and the price to be paid when it was completed.

People can choose for themselves according to their strengths and needs.

This model is quite new.

Zhao Ya temporarily suppressed his doubts about Han Suyun and looked at it with interest.

[Yunji Tea Store has a batch of valuable goods to be sent to the walled city three hundred miles away, and it needs to be escorted by at least three warriors of the Three Realms, and the honorarium is five hundred taels after the matter is completed. 】

This trick Zhao Ya is very familiar, isn't it just a dart.

It's a pity that it takes too much time to go back and forth, and five hundred taels has to be divided by three people, which is not suitable.

Zhao Ya looked down again, and found that he either asked someone to escort things or resolved the dispute.

The price given by the key was not too high, so Zhao Ya vetoed them one by one.

It wasn't until he got to the last person that he couldn't help but stop.

[Yongsheng cloth village inventory of thousands of precious cloth disappeared mysteriously overnight, now sincerely ask the means of the clever person to find the whereabouts of the cloth, after the completion of the family heirloom treasure armor. 】

Family heirloom armor.

These four words firmly attracted Zhao Ya.

Over the years, Zhao Ya has not thought about making a set of self-defense armor, but he has not been able to do so.

For the armor of these years is extremely precious, and the quality of the armor is even more expensive than the same weight of gold.

At the beginning, the black armor worn by the Song family's black armor army was so bulky, it was still worth a lot of money, not to mention the treasure armor that could be worn in the clothes.

And now this cloth village is actually willing to take out the family heirloom armor as a reward, which naturally makes Zhao Ya very interested.

He looked at the person who had issued the task and saw that it was actually a woman.

The woman is not very old, she is about twenty years old, and she is quite handsome, but her face is gloomy, her eyes are dull, and she is obviously very heavy in her heart.

Ning Shan was indeed anxious at this time.

Seven days have passed since the theft of the family's warehouse, and now Yongsheng Buzhuang is in a semi-paralyzed state, and his father has also fallen ill due to the frustration.

You must know that this large number of goods were all booked by the Zhu family, one of the few wealthy families in the city.

Now it's suddenly stolen, how to explain it to others.

Seeing that the agreed delivery date will be reached in three or four days, if the goods cannot be taken out at that time, the huge compensation payment alone will be enough to bankrupt the Ning family.

In desperation, Ning Shan had no choice but to rack her brains for help.

First, a bounty task was issued, and there were indeed warriors who came.

But this is different from other escort or fighting tasks, and the people who came didn't see the reason for watching it for a long time, so they all gave up.

Just when Ning Shan was in despair, someone suggested to her that she try her luck at this merchant drinking party.

Because the people who can participate in this business party are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, they may be able to find a way, but the premise is that they are willing to make a bid.

With the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Ning Shan found Shang Luoluo hard, and after paying a fee, she finally came to the cocktail party.

At this time, Yongsheng Buzhuang no longer had much liquidity, so Ning Shan gritted her teeth and wrote the family heirloom treasure on the price code.

Although this treasure armor is handed down from the ancestors, I can't care about it at this time, so I will get through the sadness in front of me first.

But after waiting for a long time, she found that no one took her task, and saw that the tasks of other trading houses were taken over one by one, but she was the only one left.

Ning Shan couldn't help but feel sad from it.

Could it be that the inheritance passed down from generation to generation is really going to be destroyed in one's own hands?

In desperation, a teenager approached and reached for the wooden sign in front of her.

Ning Shan looked up and saw the young man smiling at her.

"I took this order."

Ning Shan was in a trance.

Because she looked at this teenager and felt that he was too young.

So young...... Can it really work?

At this moment, Shang Luoluo walked closer and said with a smile: "Miss Ning, I was thinking before, if anyone can solve your problem, it is only him." ”

"Let me introduce you, this is Senior Brother Zhao Ya Zhao, the jade butterfly that made a fuss some time ago was caught by him."

Ning Shan finally had an impression, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

She also knew that the jade butterfly was caught, and she heard that Zhao Ya, who caught the jade butterfly, was very clever, and it only took a few days to find it out.

She stood up in such excitement that she couldn't even speak.

Zhao ...... Zhao Ye, I ....... ”

"Just call me Xiaoya, where is your storehouse, can you take me over to have a look?"

"Absolutely!" Ning Shan nodded vigorously.

Then Zhao Ya sued Shang Luoluo.

"I'm sorry Miss Shang, I'm going to go first."

"Senior Brother Zhao, please, if you need my help, you can come to me at any time." Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"Okay."

Zhao Ya said to Xu De and Miao Shaocheng again, and then left with Ning Shan.

After going out and getting into the carriage, Zhao Ya asked Ning Shan to tell all the situation in detail.

"It happened seven days ago, when my father went around the storehouse before going to bed, and everything was fine at that time, but the next day the thousands of horses of cloth stored in the storeroom were gone."

"Isn't the storeroom guarded at night?"

"Of course there were, but the guards passed out and didn't wake up until the morning."

"When they woke up and asked, they didn't know when they passed out, and they didn't even have the slightest impression."

"How many of these thousands of pieces of cloth are there?"

"A lot, even if it is pulled by a horse-drawn cart, you have to pull three or four carts."

"That is such a big movement, and the people around you didn't notice it at the time?" Zhao Ya asked.

Ning Shan smiled bitterly, "No, the nearby residents have all asked, and no one has heard any abnormal noise." ”

Zhao Ya nodded, "I understand, let's go over and take a look at the warehouse first." ”

The carriage passed through most of the county town and finally came to the treasury of Yongsheng Cloth Village.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Ya habitually looked around and found that the terrain here was open, and the nearest residents were also 100 meters away.

At the same time, there were many large vats in the clearing, all filled with water.

"This is to prevent fire in the warehouse, after all, for the cloth, the most feared is the fire, but I didn't expect the fire to be ignited, but the cloth was all lost." Ning Shan said sadly.

At this time, the guards of the storehouse also came out.

There were four of them, all in their fifties, and they all looked very old.

"Were the four of them here that night?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Yes, these four people are all old friends who have followed my father for many years, and they are loyal and honest, so they were sent here to guard them."

Zhao Ya's gaze crossed the faces of these people.

The expressions on the faces of the four men ranged from sadness, anger, and timidity to them.

But that's normal.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, and walked into the warehouse.

This storehouse is very large, and the bluestone slabs on the ground are spotlessly cleaned.

There was a smell of cloth in the air, and Zhao Ya walked around here, but didn't find anything, so he asked.

"Thousands of pieces of cloth, do you usually store so many cloths?"

Ning Shan shook her head, "Of course not, in fact, usually there are only about a hundred pieces of cloth here, but this time it is because the Zhu family in the city has ordered a large number of goods, so there are so many." ”

"Oh? I ordered thousands of pieces of cloth, so can I reveal what these cloths are used for? ”

Zhao Ya didn't believe that a wealthy family would order so much cloth for no reason.

Ning Shan hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a thick arrowroot cloth used to make cloth armor." ”

Bujia Zhao Ya has also seen it, although the defense power is not as good as the real armor, but it is enough to deal with ordinary swords.

As for why the Zhu family ordered so many .......

This world is getting more and more chaotic, and these wealthy families obviously have a sense of crisis, so they are preparing in advance.

"How many days have it been since your cloth entered the warehouse and was stolen?" Zhao Ya asked again.

"Five days." Ning Shan said.

"Have there been any anomalies in the past five days?"

Ning Shan thought about it carefully, then shook her head, "No." ”

"How many people know that there is so much cloth stored here?"

"There aren't many, except for my father and my mother, who are me and these guys."

Zhao Ya thought for a while, and after leaving the warehouse, he began to pace around the clearing.

Ning Shan didn't dare to ask, so she could only watch quietly from the side.

Suddenly.

Zhao Ya stopped, looked at the houses in the distance, and then looked back at the warehouse, as if he had thought of something.

"Are all the houses in front of you inhabited?"

"It's all inhabited."

Zhao Ya nodded, "Can you let me meet your father?" ”

"Of course, please come with me."

Ning Shan's family lives in the small courtyard behind the door of Yongsheng Buzhuang, not far from here.

It only took three to five minutes to walk.

At this time, Ning Shan's father, Ning Shanfeng, had already fallen asleep, but when Zhao Ya arrived, he still struggled to sit up and asked breathlessly.

"Zhao Shaoxia, do you have any eyebrows?"
