Chapter 8: Risk
Ruan Tang looked bald.
I didn't expect that I had been planning for so long, paying so much money, and almost losing my life, and in the end my hope was disappointed.
Xiao Feng and Ling Qing couldn't help but worry about looking at each other on the ground when they saw Ruan Tang's appearance.
In the end, Xiaofeng couldn't help but say: "Master, if you really like children so much, Ling Qing is willing to help the master find a high-quality man, presumably there will be better ones in this world besides King Naning." ”
"I'm also willing to help the master find it." Ling Qing also chimed in.
Ruan Tang looked back at the two of them and smiled bitterly.
There is a saying that is the truth: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.
After eating dragon meat, who wants to eat pork?
But she's not the one who gives up halfway.
This has already begun, and it is not complete until the goal is achieved.
So she has to continue this matter with a lot of money.
It's just a pity, she still thinks that King Ning is the most suitable person, but the tiger's butt, it's okay to touch it once, and if you touch it again, you will die.
This time I had to settle for the next best thing.
It's okay to find a King Binin who is almost there.
"Hurry up and do this." She commanded.
Xiaofeng and Ling Qing glanced at each other, smiled, and replied in unison, "Yes, we will not disgrace the master's mission, and find excellent men for the master to enjoy." ”
Ruan Tang frowned and glared at them, and said angrily: "It's not big, it's not small!" ”
Xiaofeng and Ling Qing started to do things after receiving the order, and it didn't take long for them to bring back the portraits and materials.
But Ruan Tang saw it, but none of them caught his eye.
had no choice but to let them continue to search.
On her side, the business of the shop has been sluggish recently, and she has sold several shops and returned some funds.
She has recently been interested in making an inroads into Shangjing.
Last time, in order to have a dewy marriage with King Ning, she went to Shangjing, and she also thoroughly saw the prosperity and luxury of Shangjing.
If she can open a shop that belongs to her there, she can buy several shops on her side.
But even if she sells some of her shops now, the funds are still not enough.
In that place in Beijing, the rent is expensive, and it costs a lot of money to make connections there.
So, she took a risk and decided to go to Dian Zhou.
She asked Xiaofeng to find Qingfeng, and then set off with Qingfeng Chunhan.
And Xiaofeng and Ling Qing still stayed in Suzhou to help her continue to find high-quality men in various places.
The carriage bumped on the road for nearly a month before it arrived in Dian Zhou.
Along the way, Ruan Tang led the convoy through the mountains and forests, deliberately avoiding the official road, because the road was extremely bumpy.
The moment came, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on her face.
Ruan Tang led the convoy into a mountain forest again, and only stopped when he reached the flat ground of a mountain col.
In addition to the high mountains and mountains and forests, it is a good place for trading, private and safe.
And the person who answered there had received the news that they were arriving a few days ago, and had already been waiting at the agreed place.
After getting closer, I found that this group of people were all strong men.
And the leader is a man with a half-mask, compared with those strong men, this person is slender, dressed in white, but has the appearance of a scholar, not at all like doing this kind of smuggler.
Of course, she's not like she's not as good-looking.
Ruan Tang is not timid, he has a lot of dreams at night, so he should complete the transaction earlier and leave here earlier.
She put on her hat and got out of the carriage, walked to the pedestrian, and then said to the masked man: "Childe, let's inspect the goods now, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”
The man obviously didn't expect that it was a girl's family who came to do the transaction this time, but he traveled south and north to meet a lot of people, and his daughter's family was in business, and there were many shady things.
"Girl, happy." The thin lips exposed under the mask curled slightly, then raised his hand and swung it slightly.
Someone from his side immediately walked up to the convoy that Ruan Tang and the others had brought over, and lifted the tarpaulin, revealing large gray-brown clay pots on them.
The men then opened a few clay pots, reached out and pinched a few coarse salt of the white flowers in them and put them in their mouths.
The salty taste spread on the tip of their tongues, and they, who hadn't eaten salt for a long time, suddenly had golden eyes and nodded towards the masked man.
The masked man pursed his lips and smiled, "The things that the girl brought are really good things, and these are your rewards." ”
After speaking, two men carried a large wooden box to Ruan Tang and put it down, and then opened it, and it was full of Huang Cancan's ingots.
Ruan Tang resisted the desire to rush up and hold the gold to spread joy.
She steadied herself and said casually, "That little woman is welcome." ”
As Ruan Tang's words fell, Qingfeng stepped forward, carefully inspected the box, and then let people carry it into their carriage.
And they brought the jars of coarse salt off her wagon.
Now that the transaction is complete, there is no need to linger any longer.
Ruan Tang blessed the man, then turned around and walked back to the carriage, and after Chunhan helped her into the carriage, Qingfeng sat on the driver's seat.
After their carriage turned around and left, the masked man gave the strong men next to him a look.
Soon several of them disappeared into the nearby forest.
Ruan Tang, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't hold back any longer, took off his hat, opened the wooden box, looked at the shining gold, and pounced.
She giggled as she held the gold.
It's the first time she's seen such a big box of gold.
Chunhan couldn't help but smile when she looked at her happy appearance.
They have gone through a lot of hardships and hardships, and now they have finally completed it successfully, and they have also obtained gold, and everything is worth it.
Aomine, who was sitting outside the carriage, was also infected by their happy atmosphere, and a smile appeared on his lips.
But just as their car was out of the col and through the forest, it suddenly began to rain heavily.
It was already dark, and now it was raining again, and suddenly the whole mountain forest was full of fog, and it was impossible to see the road ahead.
"Master, the rain is a bit heavy, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, why don't we take shelter from the rain first? Wait for the rain to stop before leaving? ”
"There's a cave not far from where the transaction was just now, why don't we go there first?" Aomine said.
Ruan Tang lifted the curtain and looked outside, frowning.
Spending the night here is the least safe.
But if you are tough and want to walk in the rain, it is estimated that you will not be able to get any benefits.
The mountain road was already rugged and difficult, but now that it is raining, I am afraid it is even more difficult.
After thinking about it, "Okay, turn around." ”
But Ruan Tang always felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
This is not the first time she has come to Dian Zhou, businessmen have traveled from south to north, from all over the world to the north, but this is the first time to do this kind of thing.
Selling well salt is a felony, and if you are caught, you will be killed.
Along the way, she was uneasy, and now it feels even worse.
I always feel like something bad is going to happen.
Sure enough, as soon as they turned around and traveled a short way, five or six strong men in hats rushed out on a rainy night, and stopped their carriage in an instant.
