Chapter 771: Puzzle Clearing

"I know you. Lu Qiying said in surprise, his face was flushed, and his whole body exuded the smell of wine, he had just negotiated a few big deals, and the camel team would not be empty when it returned to Shule Country, "You are ...... I hired a nursing home. ”

"My name is Gu Shenwei, and the Dragon King has appointed me to talk about things. Gu Shen calmly told a true lie.

Lu Qiying stared at the man who was about thirty years old, slowly sobered up, raised his hand and wiped it on his face, "I heard that the Dragon King is in retreat?"

"Yes, a month. ”

Lu Qiying felt a little relieved, and said in a serious and false tone characteristic of a businessman: "Well, first of all, I thank the Dragon King for his great efforts to let me get the silver back from the robbers, but I have to admit that I have nothing to repay. Now the Dragon King is strong and strong, and he is the most powerful force in the Western Regions, and I am just a camel breeder, with a small profit and a small margin, barely making ends meet, I don't know what the Dragon King likes about me?"

"The Dragon King once had a pact with you. ”

"Yes, let me help him transfer gold and silver in Shule country, unfortunately, my heels have not yet stood firm, Shule has died in the country, and the dragon king's whereabouts are unknown during that time, and there is no business to do, so it can only be said that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes. Now all my money is invested in camels, and even if I want to help, I can't do it. ”

Lu Qiying flickered blindly, and he also felt that the signs of shirk were too obvious, and added, "I only have more than a hundred camels left, if the Dragon King wants to transport something......

"This is it. Gu Shenwei said.

Lu Qiying's heart trembled, and she found that she had fallen into the trap, "Ah, I'm a camel...... It's really unfortunate that I just took a few businesses, and there are no idle camels...... Well, but the dragon king spoke, how could I refuse? I will arrange it, and it will not be a problem to even out ten or twenty heads. ”

"You have a hundred and eighty-five camels, and the dragon king will need them. ”

Lu Qiying was stunned for a moment, the "Gu Shenwei" in front of him looked mediocre, and his momentum was not strong, but his words were very blunt, Lu Qiying, who had been in the business for many years, was very dissatisfied, and his face was slightly gloomy, "This is not easy to do, wait until I send this trip back to Shule Country, and then the camels will be idle." ”

Gu Shenwei took a step back, revealing a disappointed expression, because of the paint on his face, his expression was not particularly obvious, "The Dragon King told me that the shopkeeper Lu is an old friend, everything is easy to say, it seems that he is wrong, it doesn't matter, there is more than one camel team, let's find someone else to try." There are also these subordinates of the Dragon King, thanks to the shopkeeper Lu for bringing them into Biyu City, and they will move out early tomorrow morning and start their mission. ”

"What task?" Lu Qiying knew that he shouldn't ask, but he couldn't help but speak.

"Some ordinary tasks, the Dragon King has a lot of enemies, but he can't be as stable as the shopkeeper Lu, you can rest assured, the Dragon King will draw a line with you, and no one will think that you are doing things for him. ”

A layer of fine sweat broke out of Lu Qiying's brain, completely sober up from drunkenness, "Gu Shenwei" was clearly threatening, several of the Dragon King's subordinates were all strangely shaped, and the insulted robbers would soon be able to inquire about the details, once they heard about the "severance", they would immediately pounce on them and tear themselves to pieces, but at the same time, Jinpeng Castle would not believe it at all.

"Hehe, no wonder the Dragon King sent you, Brother Gu is very business-minded, but he is too impatient, I just pushed it twice according to my habit, you actually took it seriously." Okay, I'm not going to do that, to put it bluntly, the dragon king wants to use camels, take them all, it's not enough, I'll personally fight for the dragon king!"

"The help provided by the shopkeeper Lu, the Dragon King will take it to heart, please rest assured, this is by no means a loss-making business, nor is it a 'small profit' business. ”

Things became simpler, Gu Shenwei's thoughts did not stop there, he asked Lu Qiying to buy other camel teams, and then buy grain and grass in the entire Western Regions, and transport it to the capital of Xiaowan Kingdom and several locations he designated as soon as possible.

This is an overly ambitious plan, and Lu Qiying even feels that it is impossible to realize it, "This ...... This requires a lot of money, I mean very, very much money, as soon as the news spreads, the price of grain and grass will rise sharply, and the dragon king has so many troops and territory, can't he be requisitioned?"

"The Western Regions are not stable, since last year, it has undergone many levies, and it will cause resentment among the people again, in short, the Dragon King has his own considerations, money is not a problem, you go to Tongtianguan to find Xu Xiaoyi, he will provide all the funding. ”

"Money is not a problem", as soon as these words came out, Lu Qiying's eyes lit up, what Jinpeng Castle, killers, robbers, all of them are not a problem, "Don't ask about the price?

"The more the merrier. ”

"Okay, I'll fight to help the Dragon King again, uh, the Dragon King's men are like clouds, is it okay...... Send me two, after all, Jinpeng Castle is not easy to mess with. ”

"Xu Xiaoyi will also arrange it properly. ”

Lu Qiying suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "I will contact Xu Xiaoyi in the future?"

"Well, but you have to stay in Biyu City for half a month, buy this mansion, establish a fixed warehouse, and operate it for a long time. ”

"Can you keep me safe?" Lu Qiying has lived in Nancheng for many years, and his fear of Jinpeng Castle is deep-rooted, so he is really unsteady in his heart to openly oppose Jinpeng Castle here.

"Absolutely safe. ”

Lu Qiying asked a lot of details, and finally retired satisfied, and began to think about how to push off the business that had already been done, and how to merge and acquire other camel teams at a low price.

Nie Zeng stayed in the room, and after listening to the conversation, his face was puzzled, but he didn't ask, he knew very well that his identity should not be too talkative.

"If you have any ideas, you can say them. Gu Shenwei encouraged the teenagers.

Nie Zeng was a little embarrassed, and then he was even more embarrassed by this "embarrassment", and said abruptly and loudly: "I think the Dragon King is wasting money. ”

"Oh? ”

"Shopkeeper Lu...... Lu Qiying made it very clear that as soon as the news of the purchase of grain and grass spread, the price will rise sharply, and many people may still hoard Juqi, but there will be less grain and grass. ”

"You're right. Gu Shenwei showed a strange expression on his face that was close to a smile, "I also ask, who has the largest territory in the Western Regions now?"

Nie Zeng was stunned for a moment, not understanding how the problem could turn here, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The eastern countries of the Western Regions have all thrown themselves into the Central Plains, and the Central Plains has the largest territory. ”

"And next?"

"Duotun and Jinpeng Fort jointly occupy the Shule Kingdom, plus Biyu City, the territory is the second largest. ”

"What about me?"

"The Dragon King owns the Five Kingdoms of the Xiaoyao Sea and the Country of Xiangji, and his territory is also very large, but the Dragon King is far away from the Xiaoyao Sea and does not have an advantage. ”

"You're right, so, if the price of grain and grass in the Western Regions skyrockets, who will lose more?"

Nie Zeng was stunned again, "It turns out that the Dragon King doesn't really want to collect grain and grass. ”

"No, I urgently need food and grass, but I might as well fight the enemy by the way, this is what the military advisor taught me, he said that the army is plotting, this is part of the plot. ”

Nie Zeng felt that his mind suddenly opened up, but there were still a lot of questions, "The Central Plains and Jinpeng Fort can completely forcibly requisition grain and grass, ignoring the price pushed up by the Dragon King." ”

"They might, but that will have two outcomes that they don't want to see: the first is to lose hearts and minds faster, and second, even if they don't care about people's hearts, it will be more difficult to levy them than before, you said, and many people will hoard them. You must know that the Western Regions is different from the Central Plains and the North Court, there are many countries, each with its own opinions, and it is impossible to obey all of them under one order. ”

Nie Zeng was in awe, and suddenly found that this was the most time he had talked to the Dragon King, and he lowered his head and said, "The Dragon King actually doesn't care about what I think. ”

"It's okay, for the next half month, I will allow you to ask questions at will, this is also a kind of training. ”

"Training?"

"Well, I expect more from you than just a killer. ”

Nie Zeng was even more puzzled, "Teacher Hu said that if you want to be a killer, you have to be single-minded, and you can't tolerate half a distraction. ”

"Do you have any distractions?"

"Yes. Nie Zeng's courage suddenly grew, "My distraction is to one day be more powerful than the Dragon King, and then avenge my uncle's family." ”

"Then you should learn things other than martial arts, you know, when your sword skills are faster than mine, you will probably never be able to get close to me again. Gu Shen understood the young man's thoughts, but he didn't care, Nie Zeng's hatred was different from him, not so strong, and it was not solidified by the dead man's scripture.

A thought flashed in Nie Zeng's heart, the Dragon King was playing a conspiracy, but he really couldn't think of what loss he would suffer, he bit his lip and thought for a while, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask the Dragon King, you already have the strength to break through Jinpeng Castle, why are you reluctant to do it?" If it were me, I would not care about the disputes in the grassland, and directly take more than 100,000 troops all the way south, and in less than two months, I would be able to capture Dubu Wang Sheng alive." ”

Gu Shenwei looked at this young man who was quite similar to his former self, "I once had a master......

"I know, Tie Hanfeng, in fact, he is my biggest enemy, but unfortunately he is dead. "Regarding the death of his uncle's family, Nie Zeng heard a lot of content.

"Well, you hate him, and I hate him, so I killed him with my own hands, but he still taught me a lot of useful things, and he told me that killing people is not just a slash, you have to cut off his relationship first. ”

"Break ties?"

"Most people don't survive by reading, they always live in a certain position, if you kill him, this position will be temporarily vacant, and the people involved will be dissatisfied, and they will look for you for revenge, for example, Tie Hanfeng and I killed your uncle's whole family, and as a result, you come to take revenge, you are a kind of 'relationship'. ”

"You two didn't cut me off. Nie Zeng whispered, still pondering the truth in the Dragon King's words.

"Because we didn't know about your existence, Tie Hanfeng had already severed your uncle's relationship in Biyu City, at least at that time, no one avenged your uncle. ”

"Why did you kill my uncle, was it hired by someone?"

It was a simple question, and giving an answer might also ease the hatred in the boy's heart, but Gu Shenwei couldn't answer it, some killer principle still ruled him, "I can't say." ”

Two years ago, Nie Zeng would think that this was an insult, but now he understands it very well, so he turned his thoughts back to Jinpeng Castle, "What the Dragon King is doing is to cut off the relationship between Jinpeng Castle?"

"That's right, I didn't have this strength before, I couldn't cut it off, and now just killing the Dubu King can't remove the hatred in my heart, I want to let him betray his relatives, not only cut off his relationship with the powerful country, but also cut off his relationship with Biyu City, Jinpeng Castle, his wife and children, this is my plan. ”

The Dragon King's tone was as flat as if he was arranging an ordinary lunch, but Nie Zeng was shocked to hear it, and he was even ashamed of the little hatred in his heart.

Nie Zeng has no problem for the time being, Gu Shenwei said: "Let's go, let's go and cut off a relationship with the Dubu King and get some silver." ”
