There are many mountains in Shu, even the most prosperous city of East Shu in the old capital of Sichuanzhou, are built by the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, they are scattered, it looks like a fairy hall in the air from a distance, but when they get closer, they know the difficulty, the slope here is steep and steep, the pedestrian is acceptable, the sedan chair, the carriage is very difficult.

Because of the difficulty of transportation, coupled with years of war, so most of the places in Shu are mostly bartered, of course, Sichuan can not be the same, as early as after the Qin army destroyed Shu, there was a local young man named Gao Hongtao, aware of the business opportunity, in the war and chaos sold a warehouse at a low price, what is more valuable is that this warehouse originally had two caravans as goods to collect and diffuse, just because the official army thought that both the warehouse and the caravan had to the rebels, bandits, and barbarians in the mountains with iron tools, The suspicion of grain has been banned for too long, and there is really no way to continue to operate.

After Gao Hongtao took over, he first did not know what agreement was reached with the official army, issued a warrant for unimpeded passage in Shuzhong, and then took advantage of the good reputation of the horse gang in the surrounding territory to fight in the big city of Sichuanzhou

After the baptism of fire, when the materials were scarce, within a few years, a piece of the country was laid, and under the entry and exit of the barracks by the horse gang, and the entry and exit of the yamen, even when the most nervous mountain bandits attacked the city last year, Sichuan Prefecture was able to draw out 300 soldiers to serve as temporary guards for the trading house. It can be seen that Gao Hongtao's means.

The inn did not change its name at the beginning, but after the business improved, Gao Hongtao took down the largest restaurant in Sichuan "Hongfu Building", so the name of the warehouse was also changed to "Hongfu Inn".

Today's "Hongfu Inn" is already the largest freight logistics leader in Shu, there are seventeen or eighteen sub-stations in Shuzhong, there are dozens of large and small caravans relying on this behemoth to eat, especially in Sichuanzhou, no matter where the "Hongfu Inn" is under the boundary, a few months even with the surrounding business can also be popular, several large restaurants in Sichuan, Qinglou in order to know in advance the expansion plan of "Hongfu Inn", and even opened a banner as long as there is accurate news, consumption is halved for life.

It can be seen that "Hongfu Inn" is hot in Sichuan and even in Shuzhong.

Gao Hongtao is about 30 years old, and now he doesn't need to show his head often, and most of the business is handled by the big shopkeeper Li Guohong and the second shopkeeper Yuan Xiaofei.

The big shopkeeper was born in a famous family in Shuzhong, mainly responsible for the military and political circles, and the second shopkeeper Yuan Xiaofei is said to be born in the rivers and lakes, and most of the horse gangs and freight north and south are handled by her, don't look at her as just a female stream, "Hongfu Warehouse" has thousands of people, millions of taels of entry and exit every year, and it is hard to find fault, not to mention, it is said that Yuan Xiaofei is not only scheming, but also skilled, even the horse gang man who licks blood with a knife head in Cheng Tianjie is a thumbs up.

"Hongfu Inn" has a high level, and after the two Yuan, it is even more powerful.

On this morning, not long after the "Hongfu Inn" opened, a young man wearing a navy blue robe, a slender figure, and sword eyebrows came in. He carried a big burden in his right hand, and in his left hand he held a few famous bamboo gadgets in Shu. After entering the door, he put his burden on the table, lifted the hem of his shirt with a big grin, and crossed his legs, relaxed and comfortable.

The shopkeeper of the warehouse hurriedly walked over: "This master, what business do you have to take care of the trumpet?"

When the young man saw the shopkeeper asking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "A small business, a big business, which one do the shopkeepers want to hear first?"

Today's shopkeeper is surnamed Zhang, and he is fifty years old, whether he looks at people or things, he can be regarded as having a few brushes in his eyes, but he didn't see the depth of this person.

He groaned for a while and said, "Then please talk about this little deal first!"

Before the shopkeeper could speak, a black iron sign was thrown on the table by the young man.

The shopkeeper Zhang glanced at it, his face changed greatly, he quickly stretched out his hand, and with a "snap", the thin palm completely covered the brand, and then turned his head to look around, fortunately, it was early, and there were no outsiders around the warehouse. Only then did he stared at the face of the young man with a calm expression: "This master, such a big thing, the old man can't be the master, and I invite you to the backyard, and the second shopkeeper will receive it personally." I wonder what you think?"

The young man smiled and said, "Hongfu Inn is really magnificent, Gao Hongtao has a lot of cowhide, right?

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Zhang's eyebrows and beard trembled for a while, and now in addition to Ding Ruoting, who is not allowed to call out politely: "Gao shopkeeper", even if it is with this brand under his hand, he will definitely not have the qualifications to call him by name, this young man is either tired of life, or it is terrible.

"This master, can you please go to the backyard and think about it, this place is not very easy to talk about right now!"

The young man stood up and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then the troublesome shopkeeper will help me get the big things done first!"

The shopkeeper was sweating profusely and brushed down his neck, he didn't dare to listen to this little thing, big thing?

When the young man saw the appearance of the old shopkeeper, he smiled playfully: "Help me send the package to the Jingshi Academy along with a few gadgets on the table." It's all a rare thing in Shu, it doesn't matter if you open the bag and check it, you must not damage it, if my small ring is on fire, you can't afford to burn the 'Hongfu Inn'. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was so angry in his heart! Is this child sick, it involves the black-clothed guard, he said that it was a trivial matter, and carrying things to his wife became a big matter.

The young man saw his obscene eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, but in the end he didn't bother to explain: "Lead the way ahead!"

The shopkeeper called the guy to tell him seriously, and he was about to lead the young man to the backyard, but who knew that the goods were in the sea for a long time, and took out two ingots of silver and slapped them on the table, saying that it was the freight.

The shopkeeper couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't even say no, it didn't matter if he had the face of the black iron brand for such a trivial matter, but the young man was very stubborn, and the shopkeeper really had no choice but him.

When he arrived at a secret wing room in the backyard, the shopkeeper confessed and asked the second shopkeeper to come over, and the young man waved his hand casually and asked him to take it himself.

After a while, there was a clear, but by no means disgusting, knocking at the door, and the young man said, "Come in! What are you knocking at your own door?"

A woman in a purple dress walked in slowly, looking at her gestures, she felt that she was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but her face looked like she was twenty-five or sixteen years old, eight points mature and two points charming between her eyebrows, and her body was plump, the place that should be thin enough, and the place where she should be straight enough, if there is still a trace of defects, that is, her shoulders are slightly wide and flat, but in the eyes of the young man, she can see that this woman must be a person who practices martial arts.

The woman stood in front of the young man and bowed slightly: "The black-clothed guard Fang Yuan Xiaofei has seen an adult. The adults should know our roots very well, so I didn't come out to meet the adults directly before, and I ask the adults to forgive us. Someone has already been sent to invite Mr. Gao, please wait a while. ”

The young man squinted his eyes and looked up and down with interest Yuan Xiaofei without fear, Yuan Xiaofei naturally felt the young man's not very polite gaze, and was annoyed in his heart, but after listening to the account of the shopkeeper, he could still endure it.

Of course, the young man is Li Jinglan, and the "Hongfu Inn" is the dark line of the black-clothed guard in Shu, otherwise how could it be so easy for Ding Ruoting to Pingshu, although it is said that the Xianfeng battalion is brave, but there is not enough information transmission, route guidance, Pingshu will take at least more than a year, but with the eyes and ears of dozens of horse gangs in the "Hongfu Inn", the whole Shu is like being taken off underwear, naked exposed to Ding Ruoting's eyes at a glance, pointing where to fight, there is no reason to win.

And a major event that Li Jinglan wants to do on this trip must need the full support of this dark line, but Li Yundao's instructions are that he laid the line of the black-clothed guard in Shuzhong, as for Gao Hongtao and Ding Ruoting, they are all big men now, and if he wants to really serve Li Jinglan, he has to do it himself. So it became two things.

To put it bluntly, Li Yundao is not worried that Gao Hongtao or Ding Ruoting will be treated negatively or obstructed by it, as long as he Li Yundao lives for one day, these two people will definitely not have any moths, but Li Jinglan's entry into Shu this time is not a hammer deal, it depends on what he has in his stomach, what he can take out, and what he can get in exchange?

This is another test.

As Lao Tzu's first fortune to his son.

Li Jinglan is here to take it!
