Lu Qiying went back to Biyu City and found that everything had changed, and all of a sudden, he had become a big man, even "bigger" than when he was the tavern keeper, which was a dream feeling, and he was so excited that even the lost finger seemed to be beating.

The Dragon King asked to purchase grain and grass at any cost, and Lu Qiying accepted the task with the intention of breaking the kettle, because no matter how it was calculated, the Dragon King did not have the financial resources, but a rumor made the whole plan take a major turn.

There was much speculation about the cause of Meng Yuzun's death, but within a few days, an even more sensational news spread at an incredible speed in Biyu City: the Meng family had been robbed, and the savings of several generations had disappeared.

The Meng family did not fall into extreme poverty because of this, Meng Mingshu still owned the most real estate and shops in Biyu City, but suddenly changed from the richest man in the Western Regions to an ordinary rich man.

The whole Biyu City fell into a frenzy, and the residents without any clues, seized on any street talk and so-called inside information, analyzed from morning to evening, and searched for the answer in their dreams: Why did the money not go?

The name of the dragon king gradually floated in the bubble formed by the rumors, if the first few days everyone was just suspicious, the subsequent facts are almost ironclad evidence, the Meng family's businesses and money houses all over the Western Regions were looted one after another, the bandits were skillful, the most important thing is that they understand the details of the target, and always choose the day of reconciliation, do not kill people, do not damage goods, only rob money.

The Meng family's business network almost collapsed, and those who held the Meng family's silver tickets demanded cash like crazy, only to get a helpless answer: "Wait." ”

The news came one after another, and everyone was finally convinced that the Meng family's money had been robbed by the Dragon King.

If you want to do this kind of thing, you must have the cooperation of internal annihilation, Duan Zihua took on this role, and there is more evidence: because of the robbery of the goods, he has been forced into a corner by Meng Yuzun, he is an old family member and understands all aspects of the Meng family's business network, and in the end, his wife and children are all missing, and no one in the neighborhood knows when they moved out.

Lu Qiying thus got the opportunity to experience Biyucheng's ability to see the wind and steer the rudder.

Those merchants who owned a large number of goods used to have a high-minded and official look, and not only sat on the ground to raise the price for the purchase of the dragon army, but also demanded that they pay money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and their words were also very straightforward, "What about the dragon king's money?

Now, they lined up to meet Lu Qiying, fully exercising the privileges of their old friends, and pulling the dragon king's shopkeeper to Liuren Alley to drink and have fun like kidnapping.

Sometimes, Lu Qiying just went out to relieve himself, and was "snatched" by another businessman.

"Does the Long Army still want to buy grain and grass? No problem, I have everything, the price is easy to say, just add a little more than the current price, someone bids cheaper? Hehe, a little meaning, please smile at the shopkeeper Lu. ”

These are the words that Lu Qiying hears most often, and he even wonders why these people seem to have discussed it, all of them are a set of statements.

Lu Qiying showed the true character of a businessman, although the Dragon King said that regardless of the cost, he still bargained fiercely, and almost beat the price that had soared during this period of time back to the prototype, but he also faced a very real problem: everyone said that the Meng family's money was in the hands of the Dragon King, and he had never seen a tael of silver.

Xiao Fengchai, who passed through the Tianguan, took care of the money for the Dragon King, and she secretly said that the Dragon King is not suitable for showing wealth and wealth now, and everything will be said after the wind and waves are calm.

Lu Qiying's group of businessmen was turbulent, and there was no sign of calm at all, so he had to tell the truth to a few of the best businessmen: "The situation is special now, I won't be able to take out the money for a while and a half, so I can only keep the accounts first, of course, it will always be cashed in the end, maybe a few days, maybe a year or two." ”

The merchants' answers were surprisingly unanimous, "Not busy, I understand, under special circumstances, the Dragon Army really shouldn't be extravagant, you transport things away first, even if I don't believe in the Dragon King, don't I believe you?"

Lu Qiying knew that what the merchant believed in was money, anyway, the silver was in the hands of the Dragon King, he had the ability to repay, so why was he in a hurry?

The easier the businessmen talked, the more nervous Lu Qiying became, and he asked several people the same question, "Don't you worry...... Is it all lost?"

The people who heard this would always show a serious expression, and regarded the words of the shopkeeper Lu as a test, "Are you asking me if I believe that the Dragon King can win the war?" ”

Behind the rhetoric is the change of wind direction, the dragon king has an army, and a large area of land in the land of the sea and incense, all along, he has lacked only the same - money, when this shortcoming is repaired, at least in the minds of the merchants, the dragon king is already the real king, the king with the ability to repay.

A friend who has been friends for many years told Lu Qiying the truth, "The army, the land, the money, the dragon king is all there, no matter how miserable he is, where can he go? Even if he retreats to the country of incense, he has to admit it, right? Otherwise, he will have to gnaw the bark of a tree and eat herbs for the rest of his life." ”

Lu Qiying finally accepted the facts, how correct his decision was to accept the dragon king's woo on the spur of the moment.

During the whole process, the only thing Lu Qiying didn't worry about was Jinpeng Castle, and even the fact that the Dragon King refused to take out the silver immediately became his talisman: it was pointless to kill a shopkeeper who bought grain and grass, and he couldn't get back a tael of silver.

He inquired about the movements of Jinpeng Castle through various channels, and handed it over to Xu Xiaoyi in Tongtian Pass through the endless stream of caravans, and Xu Xiaoyi was divided into categories and waited for the Dragon King's inspection.

After more than ten days, I heard that the Dragon King would come to Tongtianguan in person, and Lu Qiying rode a fast horse to meet him.

Shule Fu [***] changed its name, and the 20,000 soldiers became part of the Dragon Army, and they all followed the Dragon King to Tongtian Pass, camped outside the city, and faced the 70,000 Beiting Army across the wall.

Lu Qiying still remembered that young and indifferent appearance, but the image and status of the Dragon King in his mind were completely different, from the moment he walked into the barracks, he was in awe, walked briskly, and immediately knelt down when he entered the tent, without even daring to raise his head.

Gu Shenwei accepted the other party's humble expression, ordered him to get up, talked a few words about grain and grass, and talked about Jinpeng Castle, "What is the reaction of King Dubu?"

"The King of Solo Steps...... There was no reaction. Lu Qiying himself felt that this conclusion was unusual, and hurriedly explained, "I inquired about the news from various channels, and even talked to a housekeeper of Jinpeng Castle, Dubu King didn't seem to care much about the Meng family's affairs, but was just busy burying Meng Yuzun. Also, the housekeeper said that Jinpeng Castle is drastically reducing the number of killers, and has not recruited any more apprentices since last year, and the killer masters are all unemployed, and many killers who are in the prime of life have also been swept out of the house and fended for themselves. ”

"Tianshan Sect. Gu Shenwei remembered the strange things that Tie Linglong had discovered, and a large number of killers left Jinpeng Fort and joined a previously inconspicuous organization.

Lu Qiying didn't know anything about the Tianshan Sect, and it wasn't until the Dragon King asked him to continue that he said: "It seems that the Dubu King has given up fighting for half of the Western Regions, and everyone says that he is recruiting troops and horses in Qianqi Pass, paying for the repair of the Northern City, and intends to defend the Biyu City." ”

Gu Shenwei believed that it was by no means the true idea of the Dubu King, Shangguan Fa had unexpectedly launched a war and almost wiped out the Dragon Army, the longer he waited, the weaker he became, and the stronger the backlash after that, but Gu Shenwei was still not sure of the vein of this killer king.

Slowly, Lu Qiying said what he was most concerned about, "Dragon King, there is a lot of grain and grass accumulation, most of it is on credit, there are already millions of taels, when will it ...... Shouldn't it be a little bit back?"

Xu Xiaoyi had been by the Dragon King's side, and then said with a smile: "I heard that those grain and grass merchants are not in a hurry to ask for money, why should Shopkeeper Lu worry?"

Lu Qiying didn't like Xu Xiaoyi's tone very much, so when she answered, she was also directed at the Dragon King, "That's the case, everyone is not in a hurry now, but they don't see any money, and their hearts will be unsteady, I know these people, they are not affectionate at all." ”

"If you want money, go to Xiao Fengchai, she is now in charge of gold and silver. Gu Shenwei said.

Lu Qiying thought this was an expression of agreement, and was very happy when she said goodbye.

Xu Xiaoyi said in a tone of admiration: "Dragon King, your move is too ruthless, and before you have a decisive battle with Jinpeng Castle, everyone already believes that you have won." ”

"Don't be too complacent, King Dubu is not the kind of person who stubbornly defends the city, he must have other plans. ”

Xu Xiaoyi thought so, and felt that this was his own task, "Don't worry, Dragon King, I will definitely find out, Dubu King is an old fox, and I am ...... Little mouse, rat can't beat the fox, but can secretly observe the fox's whereabouts. ”

"Do you have a way?" Gu Shenwei was a little curious.

"Hehe, even Lu Qiying can make the housekeeper of Jinpeng Castle speak, if I can't buy a guy with a higher status, what kind of intelligence officer is it. ”

"Intelligence officer?"

"Hehe, I gave myself the title, Xiao Chu is a tenth lieutenant, I also have to have a title, if the dragon king doesn't like it, I'll remove it. ”

"Keep it. Gu Shenwei is always more tolerant of Xu Xiaoyi's slippery head.

Xu Xiaoyi immediately bowed down and thanked him, and then said: "The Dragon King has to be careful of Duo Dun, he didn't get a tael of silver, he was so angry, his temper is very bad these days, and he has punished a lot of people, to be honest, he actually agreed to the Dragon King to bring troops to pass through the Tianguan, I was quite surprised, and I was a little suspicious." ”

"I'm not here with the battlefield of Dotun. Gu Shenwei said that Dotun had already tried assassination methods and would not make the same mistake again, "and I will be careful." ”

"I'm not worried about this, in fact, ......"

Xu Xiaoyi wanted to speak and stopped, Gu Shenwei said: "If you have something to say, pour it out, don't swallow it." ”

"When the Dragon King came to Tongtian Pass a few days ago, where did he get the news that there was a trap hidden in the camp of Dodun? Also, the Meng family's money...... Where the hell are you hiding?"

These two questions have been in Xu Xiaoyi's mind for a long time, especially the previous question, which made Xu Xiaoyi feel like he had been robbed, and he poured them all out while the Dragon King was in a good mood.

Gu Shenwei pondered for a moment, "This is a secret. ”

Xu Xiaoyi knew the Dragon King and knew that he would not get a clear answer, so he smiled and said, "I don't know where the money is hidden, but the person who reminded the Dragon King at that time ...... Isn't it the Ten Sons?"

Gu Shenwei didn't even answer this time.
