Lantau Island is separated from the north and south, and is a famous mountain in the south of Vietnam.

From here to the south, is Nanxiong Mansion of Nanhai County; To the north, it is Luling Mansion of Yuzhang County.

The two counties and two prefectures, separated by a large mountain, not only separate the administrative geography, but also the cultural customs.

The simplest point.

Yuzhang County is still developed, densely populated, and is a famous land of fish and rice. Nanhai County, on the other hand, is located in a wild and sparsely populated area, and has always been a famous penal colony.

Separated by a mountain, for people in the south and north of the mountain, it is like two worlds.

"So what does the Lantau Arrow God do has to do with me, Yuzhang Lu Yuan?"

Lantau South, it took half a month, and finally crossed the mountains, crossed Lantau Island, and arrived at Lu Yuan in Nanxiong Mansion, Nanhai County, looking at the county town at the foot of the mountain in the distance and smiling.

Since he was going to sell expensive furs, of course he had to pick a good place.

Lu Yuan had already figured it out.

Luling Mansion is the territory of Tiejianmen, and there are 18 counties under the jurisdiction of the mansion, all of which are the territory of the other party. And local gangs like the Black Wolf Gang in Dayu County are the peripheral forces of the Iron Sword Gate.

In this area, it is basically impossible to sell your own fur and avoid the eyeliner of the Black Wolf Gang.

Therefore, if you want to sell furs unknowingly, then you must find a foreign prefecture and county, far away from the boundary of Luling Mansion.

And there is no prefecture and county that is safer than the one that is separated by a county.

Therefore, when he made up his mind to avoid the Black Wolf Gang and didn't want to be exploited by the other party anymore, Lu Yuan chose Nanxiong Mansion as his sales channel.

As for the gangs on this side of Nanxiong Mansion, what to do?

"I'm not in business for a long time, after entering the county seat, I avoided those gangs, and I sold the goods and fled directly out of the city, who knows who I am?" Lu Yuan smiled.

One shot, one shot, another shot, this is the tried truth.

……

The iron bow and arrows he carried with him were buried in an area five miles away from the county seat.

Once you're safe and prepared.

Lu Yuan carried the basket on his back and paid twenty copper coins to the city gate tax collector, and then entered the city of Nan'an County, which was under the jurisdiction of Nanxiong Mansion.

Looking at the county town with many fewer people than Lantau County, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

is also a county seat, Nan'an County is obviously much poorer than Dayu County, and similarly, the entry tax here is also much less.

Of course, it may also be that the little officials here are not as greedy as those in Dayu County. ’

Lu Yuan thought secretly in his heart, looked at the flow of people on the street, found a steamed bun shop, bought two steamed buns, asked the stall owner casually, and went to a shop in the west market of the city.

For a short distance, he walked very cautiously, avoiding or confusing the attention of any suspicious person who looked like a gang member.

Do your best to prevent these people from discovering that they are selling furs.

Maybe it's because Lu Yuan's face is unfamiliar, or maybe it's because the measures on the road have worked.

When they arrived at the only fur shop in the city, no one found him selling furs along the way.

Lu Yuan safely entered this shop called Tonghai Commercial Bank.

"The guest is looking at the eyes?"

The shopkeeper of the shop was an old man who looked a little thin and shrewd, and after seeing Lu Yuan who was getting started, he squinted his eyes and asked.

"It's really rare."

Lu Yuan coped with it, didn't want to say more, directly put down his back basket, opened the lid and said to the shopkeeper: "I have some skin, can you accept it?" ”

The old shopkeeper walked over, turned over the skin in the back basket, and saw a large number of wolf, leopard, and tiger skins inside, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.

So many good goods, all from the same person, he has never seen before.

"All of my skins are of good condition, and they are all rare goods. Can the shopkeeper eat it? Lu Yuan stared at the old shopkeeper's every move and said with burning eyes.

"Yes, of course."

The old shopkeeper retracted his gaze, looked up at Lu Yuan, and said with a little excitement.

Those wolf skins and leopard skins are just that, they are not very rare, that is, they are in good condition, and there is not much damage, which is a little eye-catching.

But the tiger skin is different.

The tiger is the king of the mountains and has always been fierce.

Even if the hunter wants to hunt the tiger, if he doesn't gather a dozen or so people and prepare to kill a few people, then don't even think about it.

But even then, after a fight, even if the tiger was caught, his skin would have been very torn.

And the tiger skin in front of me, which is almost intact, is a rare commodity wherever it is placed.

If he can make this transaction, he can double his profit in an instant. Even if you find the right customer, the value earned will increase tenfold.

So for this big business, of course, this old shopkeeper will not let go.

"Five wolf skins, of high quality, each worth a tael of silver. Ten fox skins, of high quality, each worth three taels of silver. Three leopard skins, of high quality, each can be worth five taels of silver. A tiger skin, high quality, ...... price"

When the old shopkeeper said this, he glanced at Lu Yuan, and seemed to think that if the other party sold it low, it was very likely that he would turn around and leave, so he groaned and said, "The tiger skin is worth eighty taels of silver, is it okay?" ”

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded.

Originally, his psychological expectation was sixty taels of silver, but now it is very good to be able to get an extra twenty taels of silver.

Seeing that the price was negotiated, the old shopkeeper slowed down a little, and then continued to count: "In this way, a total of nineteen furs are worth a total of one hundred and thirty taels of silver." Do guests want silver tickets, or cash? ”

"I want silver." Lu Yuan said directly.

The silver tickets of the Yue Kingdom were issued by various big money banks. The bank collects cash from the customer and then writes a cheque, which can be used to withdraw cash from the merchant's bankers around the country, and the bank charges a certain fee.

This set of processes not only adds a lot of procedures, but also may leave traces when withdrawing money, adding to the risk of exposure.

Therefore, even though he knew that the silver ticket was convenient, he still chose cash.

However, after hearing this choice, the old shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "There is not so much cash in the shop now, and if the guests choose cash, they need to go to the transfer, which may have to wait." ”

Lu Yuan's eyes were staring at the other party tightly, but the old man was still embarrassed and couldn't see anything.

His eyes flickered twice, and he nodded and said, "Yes, but I won't wait long, a quarter of an hour at most." ”

A quarter of an hour is almost fifteen minutes.

There is a silver village next to the fur shop, and it will take less than two or three minutes to get some cash, and a quarter of an hour is completely enough.

"Okay."

The old shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, then called a man, took out a few silver tickets, gave them to the other party, and gave them two words in his ear, and let them go.

Lu Yuan watched this scene the whole time, waited quietly, and did not speak.

After a while, the man returned, with a large bag of cash.

"Guest, this is the payment." The old shopkeeper opened the package and pushed the silver in front of Lu Yuan. The bright luster is dazzling.

Lu Yuan picked up a piece of silver ingots and checked it, these were all big ingots of ten taels per ingot, and he felt that there was no mistake in the weight, he nodded and said, "Yes, so the money and goods are clear." ”

Thirteen pieces of silver ingots weighing more than eight catties. For ordinary people, it is a big burden.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why silver tickets are circulating.

But his physical fitness now is not the same as when he first crossed. There is also an increase in internal force, and the weight of eight catties in your hand will not be much heavier than holding an egg.

……

When I got out of the shop, I looked left and right.

The market was full of people, and today seemed to be a local market day, and the city was crowded with people from outside.

The vendors and the villagers who rushed to the market made the market very noisy.

However, Lu Yuan's keen hunter intuition still made him notice a few wisps of peeping gaze.

It was the kind of gaze he was familiar with, the look in the eyes of a hunter when he treated his prey.

Someone has their eyes on themselves.

"It seems that that old fellow, when he went to withdraw the silver, quietly ventilated outside."

Lu Yuan quickly realized this, but he didn't panic, because he had expected it a long time ago, and he wasn't too surprised.

He didn't make any unusual moves, so as not to alarm the other party, he walked quietly towards the city gate, like an ordinary hunter who had just made a fortune, excited and worried, and anxious to go home.

Soon passed through the flow of people, left the bazaar, and walked two more streets, and the city gate was in sight.

Along the way, the sight hidden in the dark still existed, but the other party just kept staring closely and did not move.

Obviously, in this city, the people in the shadows still have some scruples. Don't dare to kill and rob people directly in broad daylight.

Striding out of the city gate, several officials guarding the city just glanced at Lu Yuan twice, and then saw a layer of quilt used to cover up the back basket, and lost interest in an instant.

Like this, a poor ghost who only buys a quilt for the winter during the New Year is not worth a second look at by the old man.

"Come on, come on."

Out of the city gate, Lu Yuan glanced back twice, compared to the dense flow of people in the city, although there were some people out of the city at the gate, the figures were already much sparser.

With just a glance, he saw the two figures in gray inside, and the sense of familiarity instantly came up, just now these two people had been following him.

And the two seemed to notice that they had been discovered.

But not only did they not dodge in a panic, but they no longer hid it, and looked straight at it.

That look was unscrupulous, very similar to Lu Yuan's eyes before, looking at his prey before he was on the verge of death.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Soon you will know that not only do you want to hunt me, but I also want to hunt you." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left directly, and his figure disappeared at the intersection without delay.

The bait has been released, so let's see how many fish we can catch.

……

Just after Lu Yuan left, less than a moment later, five more figures hurriedly came to the city gate.

The leader was a burly man with knotted muscles and fierce eyes, looking like a devouring beast.

"Big brother."

The two gray-clothed men who were staring at Lu Yuan before saw the arrival of the strong man, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet.

"Where's that guy?" The strong man glanced at his subordinates and asked in a rough voice.

"He walked to the official road, probably trying to escape back to the mountains." A man in gray pointed to the official road with no end in sight, and sneered: "He thought he had discovered us and wanted to hide."

didn't know that Zhao Er and the others had already led people to guard the road and cut off his retreat early.

This time it was inevitable to plug in the wings for a long time. ”

Another person next to him laughed and said: "This person should have come from other places and wanted to avoid exploitation, so he came to our Nan'an County to do business." But I don't know if I can hide from the exploitation over there, but I can't hide from this side.

But that's fine, one hundred and thirty taels of silver, cheaper for nothing. ”

Although they know that it is impossible to give them all the money, the big head must be handed over to the gang.

But as a person who does it directly, he can divide three or five taels of silver no matter what, which is enough to live happily for a while.

"Come to my Qingzhu Gang's land to do mountain goods business, and dare not pay tribute, breaking the rules here."

The leading strong man sneered: "This time we will teach him well." However, as tuition, I accepted his money and life. ”

When the little brother next to him heard it, he laughed along.

Killing unruly people, they have done it many times a long time ago, and there will be no hesitation and softness at all about this.

Even take it for fun.

At this time, I was thinking, don't be ruthless later, otherwise it won't be fun to kill people too early.

"Let's go, let's catch up. There are only three people on Zhao Er's side, and the manpower is a little small, so don't let the duck fly to the beak. ”

The strong man waved his hand, led a group of men, and hurriedly chased towards the road into the mountain.

……

At the same time, five miles away from the county seat, under a bush, Lu Yuan bent down, dug twice in the soil with his hands, and took out the iron bow and arrows he had buried.

He looked back at the direction of the county seat, and it was already blurry in the distance, but he could faintly see a little dark shadow, and he was sure that it was the county seat.

"Calculate the time, those guys should have just left the city, and they are chasing this way."

There were only two people staring at Lu Yuan just now, although there were still more people than on his side, but considering his identity as a hunter, he was a ruthless person who fought with fierce beasts in the mountains.

Therefore, most of the other party does not dare to catch up.

In the past, when he was trading in the store, he only gave the shopkeeper a quarter of an hour, which may be enough to ventilate the news, but it is not enough to gather people for the gangs in the city.

So at this time, those local gangs should have just received the news and chased them out of the city in a hurry.

"I still have time."

Lu Yuan thought silently in his heart, then took out the silver, put it close to his body, threw down the basket, and turned around and walked towards the mountain.

Compared with the wide plains under the mountains, the complex dense forests in the mountains are their home turf.

Pinching the cold and heavy iron bow in his hand, and touching the quiver stuffed at his waist, a little excitement and strong self-confidence rose from his heart.

Perfect archery brings a strong confidence, and the internal force swimming in the body enhances one's speed and agility.

With these two things, in the mountains and forests, he is the king.

The guys chasing after him are just prey to be slaughtered.

The hunt began.
