Chapter 479: Guanhai Tower
Seeing that the destination was in sight, Li Qing couldn't help but whip a few times, sped up a little, and soon arrived in front of the landing road.
There was a checkpoint of Yelan Country on this side, but it was symbolically erected a few wooden stakes, which were virtual, and no one cared about pedestrians, and the two drove the carriage into the road very smoothly.
The mountain road was narrow, and the speed immediately slowed down, and no matter how anxious the two were, they simply set up the carriage leisurely and followed the traffic all the way forward.
Li Qing hung his head from beginning to end and only cared about driving, except that the carriage was a little down, not much different from other pedestrians and merchants, and after walking for more than an hour, the originally narrow mountain road became more and more crowded.
It didn't take long to find that several carriages had stopped on both sides of the road ahead, and the merchants who were hurrying together were gossiping.
Li Qing also stopped the carriage, and was about to step forward to ask what was going on, but before he could speak, he overheard the other party talking about it, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
What these people said was exactly the gossip related to the ruins of the falling phoenix, but it had spread so far, and from the mouths of these ordinary merchants, it was inevitable that it would be exaggerated, and it had already changed its taste.
A middle-aged man was talking about the legend of the Luofeng Ruins, as if he had seen it in person, Li Qing naturally stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, I don't know what happened in front of you, why did you all stop here?"
The man was interrupted by Li Qing, his face was a little unhappy, but he still said patiently: "I can't go, it is said that there are assassins in Beiyue City, saying that they are going to assassinate Qi Tianhou, and the checkpoint ahead is strictly checking the pedestrians, listening to the people in front of him, half a day has passed, but only a dozen or so people have been put in, so wait, we don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey." β
Hearing this news, Li Qing couldn't help frowning, his trip was inevitably delayed, and at the same time, he was a little worried about the safety of Yin Zhelu.
The man smiled when he saw his expression and said: "This brother is in a hurry and there is no way, it will be too early, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter Beiyue City before tonight, if the brother earns enough silver, he might as well live in the front of the sea view building at night, but if he is shy, then he will have to spend the night in this mountain range." β
"What is the Sea View Tower?"
Li Qing passed by here for the first time, and asked with some curiosity, and there was immediately an enthusiastic person beside him who roughly explained a few words.
He is not short of silver, but Guanhailou is an inn here, and it is inevitable that there will be many people, Li Qing thought about it, and did not plan to join in the excitement.
"Don't you know? Speaking of this Guanhai Tower, it is said that the bitter shopkeeper got a batch of pills, and sold them in the past two days. β
listen
When I arrived at Guanhailou, I didn't know where a fat man in his forties stood out and said.
The man before smiled and said: "There are all kinds of things sold in the Guanhai Tower, and occasionally you can come across some pills, but these things will eventually fall into the hands of those people in the rivers and lakes with magical powers, and it is not the turn of us traders to covet them." β
The fat man shook his head and said, " Of course I understand what you said, but this time it's not the same, not only the pill, in this sea view, but whenever there is a good thing for sale, the two shopkeepers will definitely release the news half a month in advance, and some people will come here, and when it is really sold, it will naturally be able to sell at a good price, and this time the pill, it is said that it was released yesterday, and it will be sold tonight, there are many people with spirit stones in their waists, but they may not be able to catch up, in my opinion, this time they may really be able to pick up a big leak, even if they can't pick it up, it's good to see the excitementγ β
When the man heard him say this, his eyes rolled and said: "You would sell pills like this, if there is such a thing, then these pills should be some shady stolen goods, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry." β
The fat man sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if he stolen it or not, this pill is not something else, if I can really get a Zhuji Dan, I will swallow it in one gulp, slip away, and take my daughter-in-law to find a cave in the deep mountains and old forests to live happily." β
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the fat man added: "In addition, I have also inquired, this batch of pills is really not a stolen goods, it is said that they are produced in Yanling Mountain, as for why they are in a hurry to sell, it is unknown." β
Li Qing originally thought about his own thoughts, and didn't care too much about everyone's chatter, but suddenly heard the word Yan Lingshan, but it made him come to his senses immediately, and Yu Yingbing in the carriage couldn't help but be curious, lifted the curtain, and secretly looked outside for a while.
At this time, he didn't care too much, Li Qing hurriedly came to the man's side and asked, "You mean, these pills are from Yanling Mountain?"
The fat man nodded and replied: "This is still false, if you don't believe it, go to the front and inquire." β
Then he looked Li Qing up and down for a while, and when he saw his down-and-out appearance, he smiled and said bluntly: "This brother should not fight the idea of the elixir, even if it is cheap, it is not a hundred or ten taels of silver to be bought, if you really have silver, it is only right to change to a stronger horse with stronger foot strength earlier." β
"Since it is Yan Lingshan's elixir, how can it be sold here, and it is sold in such a hurry?"
Li Qing's face was full of doubts, he didn't pay attention to the other party's ridicule, and muttered to himself, the fat man thought about it and said: "It's not strange, walking outside, who doesn't encounter some urgency, most of them are in a hurry to use money." β
There seems to be some truth in this explanation, Li Qing and Yu Yingbing glanced at each other, and there was no communication, but they both knew what the other party was thinking.
Li Qing pondered a few times before and after, if it was really as fat
What Zi said was that the people of Yanling Mountain were in a hurry to sell a batch of spirit stones, and Gu Tianchou and Cangwei were afraid that the chances were not great.
"Master?!"
Thinking like this, as if seeing Lu Mingfei, Li Qing set up the carriage and rushed towards the direction of Guanhailou without saying a word.
Soon arrived in the valley, the front of the Guanhai Building was already full of all kinds of horses and vehicles, Li Qing made a few taels of silver, so that the guys in the building found a vacant space and placed the broken carriage.
After inquiring around for a while, the pill that the fat man said before was indeed not groundless, and many people here came for the pill.
followed the guy into the Guanhai Building, took out another ingot of silver, and soon arranged a good guest room to live in.
When the guy was about to go out, Li Qing called him down and asked about the sale of the pill, but the guy had limited understanding, and what he said was not much different from the rumors outside.
"Do you know who is behind the sale of this elixir?"
Li Qing asked again, and the guy smiled and said: "It's embarrassing for me if you inquire about this, the goods sold by Guanhailou may or may not have owners, there is only business here, no one has ever asked about the practice of the seller behind it, if this brother is really interested in the elixir, I will occupy a good seat for you tonight." β
While talking, the guy stretched out a hand at Li Qing with a hippie smile, Li Qing was full of thoughts about pills, where would he be stingy with silver, and casually rewarded the guy with a silver ingot, and the other party trotted all the way with a spring breeze on his face.
The silver was in place, and the greetings here were also considerate, and a sumptuous meal was delivered in a short time.
Yu Yingbing brought the food to her mouth, but she didn't taste it at all, her brows were tightly twisted together, full of worries.
"It doesn't feel right. β
While eating, Yu Yingbing muttered to herself, and then asked, "How many spirit stones and pills did you bring with you when you came out of Yanling Mountain this time?"
Li Qing casually pondered for a while and replied, "When I left, Uncle Gu gave more than twenty pills of four or five grades, and another fifty thousand spirit stones. β
"Poof!"
Hearing him say this, Yu Yingbing almost choked on a mouthful of food and hurriedly vomited.
After getting along for a while, she also knew that Li Qing didn't seem to be short of spirit stones, but she never expected that she would bring so many of them, and the more than 20 pills alone were worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
recalled that at the beginning, she spent five taels of silver to hire Li Qing as a laborer, and she was angry and funny.
After thinking about it, Yu Yingbing continued: "I have heard that the Pill Medicine Master has always been wealthy, but now it seems that I still underestimate you Yanling Mountain. Even you are so rich, how can your master be reduced to selling pills here?"
