Chapter 428: Another Trade Route
Qin Wen and Lu Mo returned to the main hall of the manor, and saw that Shi Yu was waiting under the eaves of the corridor, Shi Yu followed the two into the main hall, and without waiting for Lu Mo to ask, Shi Yu spoke: "Master Qin, Manager Lu, I have inquired clearly, the trade route from Huangfu to Shuangxing City has been opened, and a caravan just went to Shuangxing City a few days ago. ”
"I have been following them to the desert, because there are their monks patrolling nearby, I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I did not track down the place where their teleportation array was, this time they went to a total of more than a dozen monks, including two spirit level monks, and seven or eight Xuan Master monks. ”
Lu Mo shook his head slightly and said: "Since you haven't seen the teleportation array of the Huang Mansion, then we can't be sure that the caravan in the capital of the country of He Blade was sent by the Huang Mansion, maybe it was really the caravan from the side of the Double Star City, the people of the Huang Mansion on that trade road have not made any progress, and Huang Wuye often sends people to the desert, and the matter of opening up the trade route is just an inference now." ”
Shi Yu hurriedly said: "Steward Lu, the trade route is indeed really opened, I have seen some excellent magic weapons in some shops in the Yellow Mansion in the past few days, these have never been seen in their shops before, when you went, you also let me see some magic weapons from the country of He Blades, I also traded one in the shop in the Yellow Mansion, you see if it comes from there?"
As he spoke, Shi Yu took out a Xuan-level high-grade flying sword from his storage bag, Qin Wen saw at first glance that this flying sword was indeed from a Western country, after Lu Mo took the flying sword, he took out another one from his storage bag for comparison, nodded slightly, and handed the flying sword back to Shi Yu.
After Shi Yu put away the flying sword, he continued: "This time in their caravan, I also saw two Huang family's account offices. If it is to open up a trade route, it is useless for Huang Wuye to send the account room, and I think the two account rooms are settled when trading spiritual objects. ”
Qin Wen couldn't help but nod at this time, Shi Yu used to be a monk in the Yellow Mansion, and the two brothers often did things to inquire about espionage news in the Yellow Mansion, and they were even more familiar with tracking. So the news he inquired about, Qin Wen was still relatively trustworthy, Lu Mo thought about it and said to Shi Yu: "You have to follow this matter for two more days for the time being, it is best to find out the exact time when the Huang family caravan will return to the city, remember, you must be careful and safe, in a place like the teleportation array, the Huang Mansion must be guarded by high-level monks, don't be greedy." ”
Shi Yu agreed. Then bowed slightly to Qin Wen and Lu Mo, exited the main hall, and then flew away from the manor.
Looking at Shi Yu's departing figure, Qin Wen couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "The Huang Mansion has actually opened up trade routes in the past three years, I still think that I can give Han Shang some more time, and when he has arranged all the points of all the countries in the Western Continent, even if Huang Wuye puts all his focus on the caravan, our caravan can easily defeat them." Monopolize the trade in pills throughout the Western Continent. ”
Lu Mo shook his head and said, "Huang Wuye has been preparing for this trade route to opening up, and I estimate that it will take at least a few decades. For the sake of this trade route, he gave up the opportunity to compete with the Ji Mansion for the deacon, we were lucky to get Han Shang in the Fang Mansion, otherwise, it is estimated that there is no idea of opening up the trade route now?"
Qin Wen showed a faint smile on his face and said, "It's normal for heaven not to follow people's wishes. Although we have not completed the layout, we are already too far ahead of the Huang family's caravan, and we must plan this matter well, so as not to let the Huang family's caravan pose a threat to us. ”
Lu Mo thought for a while and said, "If we use our strength, we can be with the Huang family now. However, the Huang family's opening up of business routes must not be hidden, especially if we want to ask the Ji family for help, the Ji family will definitely have a share of the business route, if more families are involved, then this business road will become more and more complicated, although we have already taken the lead, maybe the most difficult will cause more trouble. ”
Qin Wen pondered for a while, what Lu Mo said was the truth, the huge profits of the trade route are known to every family, once the matter of himself and the Huang family owning the trade route is discovered, it will be much bigger than the sensation of discovering spar deposits in the mountains and forests, all along, the supply of spiritual objects on this side of the expulsion city has relied on trafficking from the Daqi or Hu clan, although the profits are larger, but the risk of passing through the desert is also relatively large, and two or three times the profit is normal.
However, the price difference between the magic weapons and the elixir in those countries in the West has reached dozens of times, and even Qin Wen only needs to buy the elixir with a few spars and transport them to the Western countries, and he can make a lot of money, and no one wants to let others interfere with such huge profits.
What's more, now Huang Wuye has always been eyeing Qin Wen, once Huang Wuye earns a lot of profits from the trade route, when he stabilizes, he will definitely attack Qin Wen first, so even if Qin Wen is not because of the interests on the trade road, he can't let Huang Wuye have a suitable opportunity to attack him.
At this time, Lu Mo took out a map from his storage bag and unfolded it in front of Qin Wen: "Master Qin, after I learned about this matter, I began to plan how to deal with this matter, I think that although our strength in the Expulsion City is not as good as that of the Huang Mansion, we have taken the lead in this matter. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Mo followed the location of the Expulsion City on the map, and stretched it all the way to the west: "Since it happened on the Western Continent, let's just solve it there, and there is no need to involve the two families of us and the Huang family in the Expulsion City." ”
Hearing this, Qin Wen's eyes couldn't help but light up and said: "You say, let's deal with the Huang family's caravan directly in the country of He Blade?" This is a good way, now the Huang family's caravan has just arrived in the country of He Blade, and their strength over there is far inferior to ours, as long as he drives his caravan out of the country of He Blade, and then sends someone to destroy their teleportation array, and at the end of the day, we can also find the core point of their trade route, let's directly control this point." ”
Lu Mo nodded and said: "That's what I think, not to mention that now they are in the light, we are in the dark, as long as the caravan does not know that the Dao is the monk we sent to Lu, even if they are ambushed, I don't know who did it, I don't think Huang Wuye will definitely suspect us." ”
At this time, Qin Wen looked at the map that Lu Mo had laid out, this was just a rough sketch with a few general directions, which was only of reference significance for actual combat, so he asked, "Didn't Han Shang come back from drawing a map during this time?" At that time, I asked him to draw a detailed map for later use when he was leading the caravan, why do you still use such a sketch now?"
Lu Mo shook his head and said: "Han Shang has sent back a detailed map, but those are all within the countries of the Western Continent, as for the country of the He Blade and the desert near the Twin Star City, he has not had time to go during this time, so we just know some general situation, the specific mountains and rivers and the locations suitable for setting up the teleportation array, it is estimated that he does not know." ”
Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "Since we have decided to start over there, the sooner the better, Huang Wuye must be trying his best to expand, now we must try to get in front of them before they notice our caravan, so that they will not be suspicious of us." ”
Lu Mo nodded and said, "That is the best way, now there are dozens of spirit level cultivators in our house, look, how many will you bring over there this time?"
Qin Wen shook his head slightly and said: "Now the matter of the trade route is only known to the most reliable monk in our mansion, so it is only until now that we can keep this secret, once the monks who go there are transferred, in addition to the caravan, it is best not to call them back, so the personnel will be used for the time being this time, I estimate that the Huang family's caravan over there does not have too many high-level monks, and the monks of Lishan Town alone should be able to drive them away." ”
After speaking, Qin Wen got up and said: "This matter is related to the income of our trade routes in the future, and it is also related to the safety of our manor in the city of expulsion, I will go to the country of Huichuan to deal with this matter now, you also collect the situation of the Huangfu at home, once you find that a large number of monks are transferred to the desert in the west, you will let the caravan bring the letter to the country of Huichuan in time." ”
Lu Mo nodded and agreed at this time, Qin Wen left the main hall, and hurried to the teleportation array, except for the walking when he passed through the mouth of the fog python, the rest of the people were using the spirit boat and the teleportation array to hurry, until he reached the town entrance of Lishan Town to take back the spirit boat.
After Qin Wen walked into the town, he found that the outside of Lishan Town was still as deserted as before, but the town was full of people, all the shops had reopened, and the eyes of the residents here were no longer helpless and tormented in the past, but full of hope and joy, these should be the changes brought by the caravan.
Qin Wen suddenly felt that someone was following him behind him, so he turned around and saw that it was two monks who were descending from the Xuan Ranks, and after thinking about it, someone was following him in Lishan Town, it should be that the monk on duty in the town had not seen him, and then saw that it was a strange Xuan Shi monk, and he was afraid that he would come here to make trouble, so he quietly followed him.
After Qin Wen figured it out, it seemed that Fang Li had done a relatively good job of taking precautions here, and couldn't help but nod slightly, and didn't explain to them, because the matter he dealt with this time was more urgent, he just glanced at it when he passed by the Dong Mansion, and went straight through the entire Lishan Town, and came to the courtyard in the west of the town, the two monks saw Qin Wen enter the mansion gate, and knew that Qin Wen was here to do business at the place where the caravan was stationed, the two looked at each other, and then returned to the outside of the town.
