"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. ”

"The enemy country is broken, and the ministers are dead. ”

This is a truth that is well known to the world in the history books. ”

"How can Your Highness allow me peace?"

Bai Qi looked at the young man wearing a python in a daze, but listening to Fang Cai's words, his heart was inexplicably a little throbbing.

"Get up, presumptuous!"

The old man on the side was on crutches and his heart had been hung to his throat, and he was naturally not afraid of death when he was about to bury half of his body in the ground, but at the moment, the last bloodline of the entire Gongsun family was in this capital, if he really offended the people in front of him, he was afraid that he would give an order and let alone revive in the line of Gongsun from now on?

"The words of the main temple are counted. ”

"Taiping was originally set by the general, and the general was not allowed to see Taiping, which was too sad. ”

"If the world is prosperous, you will wait for it to be laid. ”

"Why can't you see the peace of the world?"

The young man in the black and gold python robe stood on the long street, with a bearing and majesty that did not match his age, and Bai Xiaosheng on his side suddenly remembered that his heart was surging more and more in the heart of His Royal Highness Liangzhou, and even the Liangzhou soldiers stationed on the city tower also felt that the blood was surging in his chest.

The long street has been silent for a long time,

"In this way, the last general will thank His Highness in advance!"

Bai Qi smiled at the end, in fact, if he looked closely at the eyebrows of the young man in white clothes and black armor in front of him, the outline was clear, and he was also born with a good skin, but the coldness between his eyebrows gave people a feeling that no one should approach.

"What kind of cultivation are you doing now?"

Xu Xian looked at Bai Qi for a moment and then asked abruptly.

"Five products!"

Bai Qi said bluntly, he is already proficient in arranging troops, although he is also extremely proficient in battlefield fighting, but people's energy is limited after all, not to mention that at this age, being able to have a five-grade cultivation is already an amazing and glamorous person.

"Five pins?"

"Not enough. ”

"How about this temple looking for someone by your side?"

"His swordsmanship is very similar to your style of marching and fighting, and with the guards at your side, you may be able to find the slightest opportunity to break through. ”

After Xu Xian's voice fell,

A man walked out of the shadows on the street corner,

He was black from beginning to end, and in the black leather sheath was a long sword with a golden swallow, decorated with thirteen bean pearls, his name was Yan Thirteen, since he had seen Xu Xian use Sword Fifteen for the second time, he had been hiding in the dark to figure out the true meaning of Sword Fifteen, but it seemed that it was always separated by a membrane, an extremely thin layer, but it was difficult to break through no matter what.

When Yan Shisan walked out, his white eyes squinted slightly and looked at the person who came, feeling the cold aura on that person, but he felt inexplicably in love.

"Can you use Sword Fifteen?"

Xu Xian looked at Yan Thirteen, who was dressed in black, and said.

"Yes!"

"But I can't control that sword. ”

Yan Shisan laughed at himself.

Sword fifteen is pure death intent, that sword has been out of his control, in front of the golden horde watched Xu Xian after the second sword has completely seen the trajectory of that piece, groped for a long time, he can also use that sword, but after that sword is stabbed, he really can't control it.

"It's coming!"

Xu Xian felt the undulating sword intent on Yan Shisan's body, so that Yan Shisan's current Yan Shisan had reached the peak of his previous life, that is, the stage of groping for the fifteenth sword, and he could also use the sword full of death, not that he would die if he used that sword, but after the sword came out, he couldn't control the sword intent, as a swordsman, this was a great blasphemy, so he would choose to die, which was his pride as a swordsman.

"Maybe he can give you the opportunity to make that sword!"

Xu Xian's eyes wandered over the two of them, but he only felt that there were many similarities in the temperament of the two from a distance, and many of the characters he summoned early were amazing and gorgeous sword cultivators, who had reached the top in the original world, but there was no possibility of breaking through when they came to this world.

After Yan Thirteen fully controls Sword Fifteen, he will inevitably enter the ranks of second-grade sword cultivation, and Bai Qi is where this opportunity lies, I hope that after the Southern Expedition, Yan Thirteen will be able to cross the border, and he will be able to have one more top combat power under his command.

And the opportunity of Ye Gucheng's breakthrough Xu Xian thought a lot, thinking about it or a knot in his heart, Ye Gucheng once said at the top of the Forbidden City that the swordsman should be "sincere to the sword", and then it was indeed a brain convulsion inexplicably rebelled with the prince of Nanwang and finally died, as long as he broke the knot in his heart, he must be able to change out of black clothes at that time, and continue to be the dustless and dusty, fluttering white clothes, as for Ximen blowing snow Xu Xian just looked forward to the sword god's smiling demeanor.

The summoned characters are not tools for Xu Xian, each of them is a flesh-and-blood person, and it is also a chance to hope that they can go further.

"Let's go, go to Juxian Building!"

"It's here, I have to find someone, and that person is destined for you. ”

Xu Xian put aside his thoughts and walked forward, his clear voice sounded in Bai Qi's ears, and he hadn't forgotten the fact that he had drawn one for one for the first time.

"Who?"

"His surname is Zhao. ”

......

City

Inside the Juxian Building,

As a place of foreign trade in Shangjing, whether it is the Hu merchants of the Western Regions or the caravans of various countries, most of them trade here, whether it is all kinds of gems or camels and horses and even women from all over the world, it is not uncommon for them to be seen, and the West Market has always been the most mixed place of the three religions and nine streams in the capital city.

Now the capital has gradually regained its vitality, and this west city should have become the most densely populated place, there are Liangzhou soldiers stationed at the end of the city, but the city is already a bustling appearance, everywhere you can see camels and horses selling horses in the Western Regions Hu merchants, the same is the most anxious at the moment, it is also they who can harvest a lot every time they enter the Beijing trade, but this trip is indeed involved in this troubled water, advance and retreat.

Private room on the second floor of Juxian Building,

There were three people sitting down and chatting, although it was chatting, the atmosphere in the field was indeed a little dull, and even the six or seven bookkeepers who were behind them did not dare to breathe, but buried their heads in counting the account books in their hands.

"Now it's time to Shen, and I still don't see His Highness. ”

"It's a bit too much!"

The head of the Qu family is a middle-aged man, and at this moment, he looked at the scale on the copper kettle leaking in the private room, and said dissatisfiedly.

The figures outside the window bowed their heads and dispersed when they heard the words, to avoid the words coming out, these were the guards of several caravans, and they were all good hands on the rivers and lakes, although they couldn't set off any storms in Shangjing now, but they could still do it by beware of their ears and eyes.

"Originally, I was going to send an old shopkeeper to make this trip, but you didn't discuss coming in person, but it turned out that you came to drink the northwest wind. ”

The head of the Qu family spread his hands.

"Master Qu, it's only been two or three hours, so you can't hold your breath?"

The head of the Fan family is a white-haired old man wearing a simple cloth robe, bowing his head and drinking tea in a cup.

"Oh, look at what the Fan family master said. ”

"I Qu someone is also a person who has thousands of family fortunes and thousands of acres of land, and the lord who has thousands of taels of silver in and out of an hour, has waited for several hours for no reason, counting the days of delay in Beijing, I am afraid that it is enough to buy this Juxian Building, is it not worth complaining now?"

"It's not as good as the Fan family's kung fu to nourish his qi, and he went all the way from Daijun to Beijing in one sentence, and he had to sit on a cold bench when he was coming, and he had to hold back his farts in his heart, I was afraid that His Royal Highness didn't remember us at all, so he had to have a hot face and a cold ass. ”

The head of the Qu family sneered.

"The Qu family's family business fell into your hands, but it's a pity that the inheritance of your ancestors for more than ten generations has been wasted. ”

"Speaking of which, your father's Qu family is also prosperous, but how come the family property has shrunk by half in less than seven years after it has been in your hands?"

As soon as the conversation turned,

"Businessmen are always valued for harmony. ”

"But you have to know that now that the knife is in the hands of others, it doesn't matter if you die with words like this, you are afraid that it will affect hundreds of people up and down the family. ”

Fan Yongdou was not angry, and personally refilled a cup of tea, but just a fluttering sentence made the former speechless.

The head of the Qu family looked suspicious, but he felt that he had lost face, and his hands holding the teacup trembled slightly, the Qu family, the Cao family, and the Fan family were all in a county, because they were located in the south of the land of fish and rice, and they were very united at the beginning by selling food, after all, the world is very big, and business is done everywhere,

But hundreds of years later, looking at the huge world, only the three businesses of Xia Daijun are the most prosperous, and there are so many ways to make money, and there are many overlaps, and the contradictions naturally come out, and they have become more and more obvious in recent decades, and even have been put on the bright side.

"Huh-"

"Jiadi Lianhui is famous in the world, and the hereditary imperial merchant is the Fan family!"

"What a name!"

"Who can compare to your Fan family!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Northland Barbarian Golden Horde also has a person surnamed Fan, right?"

"Others don't know, my Qu family has long inquired about the root corner of that person, it is the side branch of your Fan family, the career is not smooth, and the sage book has not read a famous hall, so he was sent to Liangzhou to take care of the industry, and the back barbarian was taken away, and it has been more than 20 years!"

"This trip I heard that when His Royal Highness came back from the north, he thought that he was a barbarian king with a red-haired head, and I also heard that there was a Jingguan outside the barbarian golden tent in the north, with tens of thousands of human heads. ”

"I just don't know if there is any of your Fan family inside?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Zhang family in Liangzhou has been doing business with your Fan family for a hundred years, then Liangzhou is a bitter cold place, and the grain, grass, salt, and iron that were smuggled out earlier are also indispensable to you, right?"

"I just don't know if Your Highness knows these things, how can this business continue?"

"Hahahaha......"

Even through the wooden door, you can hear the unbridled laughter of the canal and the mountains.

Cold sweat drips from the forehead of the guard guarding the door,

Subconsciously lowered his head and moved his steps out.

"Qu Youshan, don't be too presumptuous!"

Fan Yongdou's face was blue and white for a while, but he still forced the anger in his heart to squeeze out this sentence between his teeth.

"Old Fan, our two families are only half a catty, my Qu family is really going to be cut off, and your Fan family is no better. ”

Qu Youshan leaned down, staring at the old man surnamed Fan with his eyes tightly and said word by word.

"Mad Dog!"

"Qu Youshan, you're a fucking mad dog!"

Fan Douyong scolded.

"Why do the two seniors do this, this time I came here to deal with His Highness, and at the same time, I also wanted to find a new way out for the family, and now everyone has not yet reached how to get into infighting on their own, which is not worth it. ”

"The younger generation poured two cups of tea for the two, all of them were wine, and after drinking this cup of war into jade silk, if there are any grievances, first pass the current one. ”

In the corner of the private room, a young man surnamed Cao got up and filled the two with tea with a smile on his face, and the young man had a kind smile on his face from beginning to end, even when he raised his glass, his attitude was also very low.

"The two seniors bothered to give the boy a thin face, in the end, they are both local villagers, don't let outsiders see the joke. ”

The young man surnamed Cao drank it all in one gulp, and the two saw that there were steps, not to mention that the Cao family had put their business on the border in the early years, and there were many fewer head-on conflicts with the two families.

......

"How much grain do your Cao family plan to give this time, and what is the price?"

After the atmosphere eased slightly, the old man surnamed Fan spoke.

"Two hundred thousand stone of grain!"

The young man surnamed Cao said an astronomical amount lightly, this batch of grain and grass is definitely an immeasurable amount no matter what dynasty it is.

"What is the price?"

Fan Yongdou was stunned for a long time before he asked in a deep voice.

"Ten liters for one bucket, ten buckets for one stone!"

"Today, the price of grain in Beijing is more than 20 wen for a bucket. ”

"The price ......"

Cao She smiled but did not speak.

"It's not worth much silver on a normal day. ”

"But if it's the southern expedition right now, why do you have to multiply it several times, right?"

Qu Youshan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"My Qu family has three granaries in Dai County, and the grain shops in various places can gather three or four hundred thousand stone grain. ”

"In this way, this trip is not in vain. ”

"My Fan family gritted their teeth and can take out 500,000 stone grain and grass!"

Fan Yongdou groaned.

It is naturally not groundless that the grain merchants of Daijun are rich and rival the country, and this is only enough to make up in a short period of time.

"My Cao family originally didn't want to get involved in this business, but His Royal Highness asked the three of us to enter Beijing by name, and there was no way out, so I had to go on a journey, after all, no one dislikes the silver in their hands and pressed their pockets. ”

"Originally, I just wanted to earn some money on the road. ”

"But for now, I am afraid that such a price will be made, and His Highness will not be happy. ”

Cao She took a sip of tea and smiled.

"What's the use of not being happy?"

"Hundreds of thousands of troops are imminent to go south, and a total of millions of stones of grain and grass are hidden in the granaries of various states and counties.

"The head of the Qu family is not afraid of liquidation afterwards?"

"After-the-fact liquidation?"

"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. ”

"Although my Qu family is rich, this silver is also accumulated. ”

"What's more, as long as the three of us bite together, how can he liquidate?"

"Can they all be killed?"

Qu Youshan shouted.

But no one answered,

Fan Yongdou touched his neck, subconsciously remembered the many families in Liangzhou who were wiped out, and felt a little cold, looking at Qu Youshan's eyes suddenly became pity, and he already had a plan in his heart, and the person in front of him was only afraid that he would not bury the entire Qu family in his hands.

Cao She, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Qu Youshan and Fan Yongdou for a moment, got up and stretched out with a yawn, and through the gap in the window, it fell on the poor sour Xiucai who sold old books, blinked abruptly, and the two poor sour scholars began to close the stall with a smile.

The moment the young man in the python robe stepped on the long street,

The street was suddenly much quieter.

In a panic, the wooden box behind Xiucai was mixed by passers-by, and the heavy box was not overturned, but the box tilted the lid to reveal a crack and the books inside fell out.

The young man in the python robe had already arrived, bent down to pick it up, and looked at it carefully, it was not a saint's article or a strange anecdote, but a detailed account.

"Interesting, interesting. ”

"I didn't think there was anyone in there who understood. ”

Looking up at the direction of Juxian Building behind him, Xu Xian chuckled.
