Chapter 206: War Wealth (2nd Watch)
In any case, Gao Yishui's willingness to follow him to find the master was an unexpected surprise, but he kept shouting vigorously: "How to sit on the ground and raise the price without refusing first, but you only asked me once." ”
That underbeaten look really made Qin Ke hate it.
At night, the three of them did not sleep separately, but all slept in the same room - Ning Xin slept on the bed alone, Qin Ke lay on the table, and Gao Yishui put together the chairs and pieced them together into a temporary small "bed", which could be regarded as being able to spend the night.
The tracking happened just now, and it has not yet been figured out what the purpose of the stalker is, and who he is serving with, and at this time, he has to deliberately sleep separately because of the defense of men and women, which will only give the opponent a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Ning Xin was born in the dust, but she didn't have the twist of the little girl, but she was a little worried that something would really happen at night, so she tossed and turned all night, and only waited until the rooster crowed in the early morning and the sky turned the fish belly white, she was relieved and fell asleep deeply.
And when the sky was blue and the streets were bustling, the three of them used a simple breakfast at the inn, followed the nearest road to the city gate of Jiujiang City, bought an old carriage in the hands of a coachman outside the city gate, and went out of the city in the direction of Jianye Dadu.
Hei Feng was a little depressed, after all, he was such a precious war horse, he had never done such hard work as pulling a cart, if he was to change to another time, I was afraid that he would not take even one step forward at all.
It's just that the little black on the top of his head is still squinting and daydreaming, and he doesn't dare to slack off, so he can only honestly pull the carriage and go all the way to Jianye City.
Along the way, Qin Ke was also vigilant, and from time to time he had to carry out the Wind Vision Technique to check if there was anything unusual around, and a day later, the carriage was already very far away from Jiujiang City, and the three of them were completely relieved.
"I thought you'd want to find out who's stalking us. Gao Yishui sat in the carriage and staggered all the way.
Black Wind is not a horse that specializes in pulling carts, even though it is tall and mighty, and its hooves sound like thunder when it runs, but it doesn't know how to make the carriage as stable as possible, and naturally the few people sitting in this carriage will not be too comfortable.
Ning Xin's face was not very good, but fortunately, Qin Ke helped her press the acupuncture points, which could be regarded as relieving some of the pain of traveling and traveling.
"I wanted to check it out. But at the moment, it is more important to keep my sister safe first. Qin Ke was not worried about Gao Yishui, in terms of escaping, he believed that Gao Yishui had his own way, "If the mastermind behind the scenes who sent people to follow him really has his hands and eyes to the sky, and he wants to stare at me for some purpose that I don't know, then even if I return to Jianye City, I won't be at peace." But if his sphere of influence is only in Jiujiang City, the chaos here has nothing to do with me, and as long as I leave, people will naturally not care about me. And ......"
Qin Ke looked at the vast plain, there was a long way to go, "I don't think I will return to Jiujiang City." ”
"Call you stupid, sometimes it's really a little clever, when you get to Jianye City, I will reward you with a little wildflower, and I will personally insert it behind your ear, you must look as good as a big girl." ”
Gao Yishui saw that Qin Ke was about to fight again, and hurriedly held his head with both hands, and after a while, Gao Yishui sighed to himself, "This time, I really can't figure out the true face of the mysterious God of Wealth, it's a pity to think about it." ”
Qin Ke looked at him and asked, "I don't know too well, what is the reason why you want to find out the identity of that God of Wealth? ”
Gao Yishui said with a smile: "It's really curious, life is in the world, it's not interesting to be too cautious." Of course, there are some ...... to say that there is a purpose. If this mysterious God of Wealth is just a big businessman who doesn't like to show his head, it may not arouse my curiosity, but this God of Wealth is different from the other three...... His family history is a little different. ”
"What's the difference?" Qin Ke asked.
"Most of the others made their fortunes with goods such as salt, cloth, and coal, and gradually grew up and then operated in all walks of life. Gao Yishui said lightly: "And what pushes this person to the top of the God of Wealth is not any kind of business on the surface......
"Secretly?"
"In other words, what this person does is not an ordinary business," Gao Yishui looked out of the carriage, "what he runs...... It was swords, horses, and iron. ”
"What do you mean......
"To put it simply, where there is a war, he sells these things, although each country has its own weapons craftsmen, and its own arsenal, but once the war starts, the inventory consumption is huge, and no one dares to guarantee that there is no need to buy it separately. During the Great War, there have always been many merchants who traveled to other countries and made a wave of war-torn wealth during the war. This is the case with this god of wealth, who has countless blacksmiths under his command, and it seems that there is also a Saiwai horse farm, and the weapons he casts, and the domesticated unregistered war horses, can be transported to various countries through his channels, and whenever the war is together, he can earn several times or even dozens of times more than usual. ”
Qin Ke was a little indignant: "Earn such money...... Isn't this man afraid that he will not have a son ......?"
"For businessmen, as long as there is money to be made, there is nothing that cannot be done. What's more, he sold weapons to countries in urgent need, but he solved people's urgent needs, and it can be said that he has done a great thing. Gao Yishui smiled, "It's just that it's nothing to say that he sells weapons, after all, there are many people who do this kind of thing, no more than him, no less than him." I wonder how quickly he reacts...... Over the years, almost every time he fought, he was like a crow that could smell the stench of corpses beforehand, he could prepare enough weapons in advance, and his soldiers and horses had already been transported to the place before others were still watching......"
Gao Yishui leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes: "If it is said that this is his keen sense of smell as a businessman, it is not unusual, but for so many years, he has never made a mistake, this is a little unusual, is it difficult...... What kind of living Buddha and immortal is he, an unknown prophet?"
Ning Xin had never seen her behind-the-scenes boss, and she was also a little curious at this time, and asked softly, "So...... What channel does he have to get the news in advance?"
"I don't know. Gao Yishui shook his head, "This is also something I've been investigating, but there has been no result." Now I want to come...... If he really relied on speculation, then it could only prove that he was a natural businessman, and it could even be said that it was more than enough to assist the prince to be a military advisor. But if he really had any channel to know these things in advance...... I'm afraid that this kind of foreknowledge is not a foreknowledge, but a ......," he smiled slightly wryly, "It's a little scary to think about. ”
The three of them were speechless, after all, before this kind of thing was confirmed, it was just chasing after the wind, and no matter how much they talked about, it would be useless. And Qin Ke just hoped that this matter would not entangle him and affect his matter of finding his master.
The carriage went all the way, and finally arrived at Jianye City after three days, when the black wind unloaded the heavy carriage, it neighed excitedly for a while, running around with joy, and from time to time it came over and rubbed Qin Ke with its head, and Qin Ke also smiled happily, stroked its mane with his hand, and took Xiao Hei down with his hand.
Xiao Hei's two round eyes swirled and sneered into Qin Ke's chest.
"These two animals look quite human. Gao Yishui commented.
"yes. Qin Ke touched Hei Feng, "But it's a pity that Hei Feng can't follow me out at that time." ”
Gao Yishui nodded: "According to what you said, if you want to find your master, you must first go to the Tang Kingdom, this Northern Barbarian war horse is too eye-catching, and bringing it over will only attract a lot of danger." ”
Qin Ke glanced at him: "Yes, yes, but why do I feel like you're excited?"
Gao Yishui smiled: "Is it so obvious? Maybe you can understand that this is the joy that I am about to find a long-term money bag." ”
Qin Ke was defeated, although he hadn't talked about the artifact in detail, but Gao Yishui had already learned from Qin Ke's description that there was a force in the Tang Kingdom, and it was also tracking down and even chasing Zhuge Wolong, but Gao Yishui just smirked, not only did not show fear, but was eager to try.
"This pervert ......" Qin Ke secretly slandered.
