At dawn the next day, Xu Kuang and Ryan set off, a group of six horses, riding a rented horse, galloping all the way, and finally arrived at Hulu Town at noon.

The two threw their prayers and waited at the door.

It wasn't long before the old butler ushered the two into Baron Wayne's castle.

Xu Kuang raised his eyes and found a middle-aged man walking towards him.

"Virtuous nephew, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm happy today, you must have two drinks with me."

"Okay, how is your uncle doing?"

"Well, it's better if you're here! Butler, go and call Hathaway! ”。

Baron Wayne pulled Xu Kuang to sit on the main seat, he looked at Xu Kuang, and after a while, he said with a smile:

"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm more handsome.".

"Uncle hasn't seen me for a few months, and it's even greater......."

……

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after a while, a slim girl dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of Xu Kuang.

"Crybaby, why are you here?".

"Don't be rude, this is your brother Xu Kuang."

When the girl saw Baron Wayne's serious face, she could only whisper "brother".

When Xu Kuang saw this girl, his heart was shocked, and he thought: "No wonder it's called Hathaway, this looks worthy of this ......."

"Hello.".

Wayne rolled his eyes, stood up, and said to Xu Kuang:

"Nephew, I'll go see if the meal is ready, you go around with Hathaway first."

"Huh?" Xu Kuang was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Wayne had already walked away.

Xu Kuang looked in the direction where Ryan was standing before, only to find that Ryan was also gone.

……

Xu Kuang looked at Hathaway and asked:

"What does Uncle Wayne mean?".

Hathaway shrugged her shoulders and said:

"Who knows, by the way, what are you doing here?".

"I want to sell something to your dad."

"Cut, loser ......".

Xu Kuang frowned, but after thinking about it, what he did during this time was in line with the setting of a loser.

Hathaway looked at Xu Kuang and frowned, and realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she said hesitantly:

"How...... What's wrong? You're a boy, what's wrong with me saying two sentences about you? Am I not right? ”。

Xu Kuang smiled, he had no intention of arguing with Hathaway, he asked:

"Why do you say I'm a loser?".

"Everybody knows about your......."

Hathaway realized that she had too much to say, stuck out her tongue, and stopped talking.

Xu Kuang smiled bitterly twice, his face was full of unbearability, and he slowly spoke:

"No way, I can't watch this group of people starve to death, besides, they are dead, what kind of lord am I?".

Hathaway looked at Xu Kuang and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little stupid, but he was still very kind-hearted.

"Then you can't ...... either."

Before Hathaway could finish speaking, she was stunned by the scene that was happening in front of her.

I saw Xu Kuang use his hand to make a point, and the two nails flew down directly from the gate, and when Xu Kuang's hand moved, the two nails turned into a puddle of liquid, and then reshaped and turned into two metal flowers.

"I'll send you.".

Hathaway pouted, still not convinced:

"You give me our things, shameless, ......."

But when Xu Kuang saw her playing with it in her hand, he knew that this girl was extremely satisfied with this item.

Suddenly, Hathaway looked at Xu Kuang in shock and asked:

"You, you, you...... Are you the means of the alchemical priests? ”。

"yes, didn't I already be an alchemy priest?"

"But don't you only have an aura of courage?".

Xu Kuang shrugged his shoulders as Hathaway did.

Hathaway shrugged as well.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

Wayne withdrew his gaze from Xu Kuang and Hathaway with satisfaction, he looked at Ryan and asked:

"So this thing really did he make himself?".

Ryan smiled bitterly and nodded, he didn't dare to tell Wayne half a lie:

"yes......".

"How much is he going to sell?".

"According to the young master, you can make money by selling eighty gold coins, and I asked the young master to raise the price to two hundred gold coins."

"Two hundred gold coins? It's not expensive, I'll have to listen to my nephew's introduction at the dinner table later. ”。

"Lord Wayne, you're ......."

Wayne waved his hand, and he said to Ryan:

"This kid wasn't defeated by those bad things, it's the biggest good thing, just two hundred gold coins, what if it's given for nothing? What's more, I can still have such a baby. ”。

Ryan looked at Wayne in admiration.

……

Wayne, Xu Kuang, and Hathaway sat down, and Hathaway couldn't wait to show Wayne the iron flower that Xu Kuang gave him.

"Father, look at this thing.".

Wayne took the iron flower and looked at it for a while, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, he found that this iron flower was simply ingenious, if you look closely, you can see the cilia that only real flowers have, and the veins on the leaves of the flower are also extremely clear, if Wayne is asked to estimate this thing, then Wayne is estimated to spend thirty gold coins to buy.

Wayne returned the flowers to Hathaway, he looked at Xu Kuang, and said to Xu Kuang:

"Virtuous nephew, I'm glad to see that you have such skills, by the way, I heard Ryan say that you are here to sell me a thing this time, what about it? Take it out and I'll take a look. ”。

Xu Kuang smiled, he understood very well that Wayne had probably seen this thing a long time ago, so let himself introduce it.

Xu Kuang took the gilded chiming bell from Ryan and began to introduce the function of the gilt chiming bell to Ryan.

Wayne's father and daughter were shocked when they saw the bird flying out of the chime, and Wayne hurriedly said:

"Quick, don't let this little bird run away."

"Uncle, don't make fun of me, this little bird is a dead thing, how can it run, it will fly back to that little door by itself."

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Kuang's words fell, the little bird flew back to the small door on the chiming bell.

Ryan retracted his smile as he asked:

"So nephew, how much are you going to sell?"

Xu Kuang sighed, he was a little embarrassed to say it, but thinking of the thousands of mouths in the territory, he still gritted his teeth and said:

"Two hundred gold coins."

"Okay, it's just two hundred gold coins, and two hundred gold coins for this treasure is considered to be my earning! Virtuous nephew, if you believe me, set a new price, I think you will definitely buy 500 gold coins, you can rest assured. ”。

"Huh? Is this true? ”。

"Between you and my uncle and nephew, can there still be lies?"

"Thank you uncle.".

Wayne smiled and put away the chiming bell on the main seat, and said to Xu Kuang:

"Alright, let's eat."

Xu Kuang nodded excitedly, now the grain has finally fallen, as for the problem of the beginning of spring, then there is no hurry, the price of grain in the spring will be lowered, and then we will find a way.

And Xu Kuang is not worried about the rest of the grain, he has a self-striking bell, he can make one in a day, as long as he sells one, he can solve the food problem.

……

After eating, Xu Kuang said to Wayne:

"Uncle's forgiveness, my territory is an eventful time, and I can't do without people, I have to rush back overnight, I'm sorry."

Wayne smiled and nodded, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"It's okay, but I still have a few words to tell you, it is right to be good to the people of the territory, you look at me, the territory has thousands of gold coins every year, all relying on these people, but you can't raise them as sons and daughters, do you give them food this year, and pay it back next year? Only this time, they understand your character, and it's still a hassle to turn it around......."

"Uncle taught, nephew remember, but uncle can rest assured, I don't let them eat for nothing, I let them build rivers for me, build a walled city, I will give them food."

Wayne was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and said to Xu Kuang:

"I've also heard about you and Victor, I sent him a letter asking him to give you a few years, this guy accepted my gift, sent my people back, turned around and asked you for an account, it's really hateful, is it true that there are not enough soldiers in my territory?!".

When Xu Kuang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, he could feel Wayne's concern for him, this concern made him a little confused, after all, Wayne was still a stranger to him, and he said to Wayne:

"Thank you uncle for your concern, little Victor I don't care about it yet, but I have something to discuss with my uncle, I wonder if my uncle can agree?".

Wayne looked at Xu Kuang in amazement and asked:

"What's the matter?".

"How about you help me sell the chiming bell, and after deducting the cost of twenty gold coins, how about we divide the rest fifty-fifty?"

Wayne thought that Xu Kuang was polite to him, but after thinking about it, Xu Kuang's territory was in ruins, and there was indeed not so much spare time to sell the bell from the bell, so he agreed to come down in one bite.

"Okay, I'll help you sell it, but the fifty-fifty split is unreasonable, I'm just playing tricks, it's not appropriate to take fifty percent, it's enough to give me one achievement.".

Xu Kuang's face became serious, and he said to Wayne:

"Uncle, you are tormenting your little nephew, you have a big face, you know more nobles, and the selling price is higher than mine, I partner with you, even if it is only fifty percent, it is more than selling it yourself, what do you say? Okay, don't shirk it, I have a lot of things to trouble you in the future......."

When Wayne heard this, he had no choice but to nod and smile at Xu Kuang:

"Okay, I'll save up the remaining four achievements for you."

Of course, only Wayne himself knows what to do for Xu Kuang's savings.

When Xu Kuang heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, stood up, saluted, and turned to leave.

……

Hathaway looked at Xu Kuang's back and turned around for a long time.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Wayne's smiling face, and her pretty face turned red.

"Father, what are you doing?"

"Good girl, what are you looking at?".

Hathaway laughed:

"You said this Xu Kuang, what kind of head does he have, and how did he figure out the chiming bell?"

Wayne smiled and said:

"The key is not to chime the bell, but to sell the chime bell, he wants to cooperate with me, I'm afraid it's not a temporary idea."

"Why?".

"He didn't bring me a meeting gift, and my face is not worth fifty percent of the profits, doesn't the extra profit make it clear that it is a meeting gift for me?"

Hathaway nodded thoughtfully.

……

"You already have the breakthrough requirements, do you want to break through."

"Don't break through.".

Xu Kuang felt that it was not safe in the wild, so he chose not to break through.

In the evening of the next day, Xu Kuang returned to Mushroom Ridge with more than 50,000 catties of grain and dozens of mules, and he had already forgotten about the breakthrough.

York has already led people to build several large granaries, this is Xu Kuang's instructions, he deliberately placed the large granaries in a place where everyone can see them, so that everyone will see these grains, and their hearts will settle down.

After Xu Kuang handed over the food to York, he asked him to strengthen his vigilance and left directly.

He called Ryan and said to Ryan:

"Grandpa Ryan, I thought about it, and I think we still can't let our guard down, and I think we need to find a few clever people to keep an eye on Orange Town."

Ryan laughed:

"Young master, don't worry, I have already sent twelve people one after another, but I made my own decision and promised to give each of them one hundred catties of soba noodles per month, and I hope that the young master will not blame ......."

Xu Kuang laughed and said:

"I really don't have the full range you considered, you can just call the shots for this kind of thing in the future, just let Jenny go and check a book when you distribute food.".

Ryan's old wrinkles raised a slight arc again.

"By the way, during this time, I am going to go to the poor mines in the northeast corner, and you have to worry more about the territory, if the river is dug up, remember to ask someone to give me a letter."

"Young master, you need to bring a few more people, I heard that there have been mine thieves there recently."

Xu Kuang smiled and nodded, there was a pitch-black pistol lying in his arms, which he had signed out yesterday.

"Five-Fourth pistol:

Caliber: 7.62mm

Muzzle velocity: 420m/s

Firing range: 50m

Ammunition capacity: 8 rounds".

With such a big black star pistol on his body, he can't say that he is not worried about his safety at all, but he is also a lot more assured, this thing is more than enough to deal with some thieves who steal mines.

Xu Kuang found Jenny again, and after explaining everything in a rambling manner, he took twenty sturdy men to the mine together.

An hour later, Xu Kuang led the people to the mine, and as soon as they approached, they heard the clanging sound and the sound of a hot horn inside.

Xu Kuang: ......

The Twenty Men: ......

Who exactly is the thief?

Xu Kuang waved his hand, and those men took off the longbow in their hands and quietly walked towards the high point.

This group of thieves may have thought that no one would come, and there was not even a single one who let off steam.
