Chapter 231: In the Dark (I)

Du Wen hurriedly sorted out his clothes, making himself more like a big man with a lot of money. ()∽↗,

A bowled hat studded with jewels, a magnificent robe embroidered with gold thread, and several finely polished and carved jade rings. Du Wen stood in front of the refractive mirror and spun around in satisfaction.

As a special quartermaster supplier to the Great Xia army, he used to be particularly disgusted with this outfit. I think it's too cheesy and tasteless. But today, for the first time, he felt that this dress looked particularly festive.

He really didn't expect that such a great good thing would actually fall on his head.

The recent uproar over the reorganization of the Eighth Army seems to have finally come to an end.

He shall provide all the necessary military supplies.

This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing actually fell on his Du Wen's head, which cannot but be said to be an eye-opener and wanted him Du Wen to have good luck.

In the family, he is just an outer deacon, and he can't even get his hands on some core priorities. Even if he earns back gold and silver through the Chamber of Commerce every day, what falls into his pocket is only a star and a half.

But as long as he does this order, he will definitely be reused by the head of the family. Thinking about the feeling of holding power, thinking about trampling all the guys who had been himself before, Du Wen's mood was better. The action of putting on the costume is also very fast.

These outfits are a must, who made him a successful Dajia now!

Finally, he carefully put the two purple crystal balls into his arms, and then patted them with peace of mind, and a satisfied smile appeared on his rich face. These two treasures were obtained by him from the Razor Inner Gate at great length. It is said that it was a master of the Lingtai level who touched it. will be blown to pieces.

This is Du Wen's talisman. You can't leave for a moment.

A group of guards were already waiting outside the door.

"Boss, are you going out today?" the straightforward head of the guard posted it like a loyal dog, and asked in a low voice in Du Wen's ear.

Du Wen nodded without a trace, taking the posture of a big boss.

The head of the guard hurriedly straightened up and shouted to the large group of guards at the door, "Team 3, Team 4, you are responsible for protecting the boss today!

Du Wen waved his hand and said, "No need! No need to be so troublesome, I just go out for a walk, let's go!

Of course, he can't bring a guard. Because this trip was to meet a big man who burned the Eighth Army, there were naturally some shady deals between them. If your whereabouts are exposed, I'm afraid it's not good.

The head of the guard stopped Du Wen one step at a time, and said with a sincere face: "Boss! No, it really can't go out without a guard!" He was obviously too straightforward, so that he was not good at words.

Such people can only rest assured when they use it. Du Wen was still very satisfied with the loyalty of the chief of the guard. It's just that with those two treasures here, it's superfluous to bring any guards. Not only is it redundant to get in the way, but there is also a risk of leaking information.

"Leave it all for me, do you dare to listen to my orders?" Du Wen turned his face sideways. Then he threw down his sleeves and walked out of his compound.

It was rare that he didn't even sit in a carriage or a sedan chair. Walk on foot towards the agreed location.

I hadn't walked by myself for too long, and the weather was hot, so after walking a few steps, Du Wen felt tired and thirsty, and suddenly regretted that he should still take one or two people out. At least someone has to bring tea and water to you.

The captain of the guard should still be trustworthy.

Staggered all the way to the agreed place, Du Wen followed the instructions and shook a horse bell hanging in the corner, and the jingling sound was quite crisp and pleasant.

Du Wen squinted and waited quietly.

Time passed little by little, but the agreed person did not appear. Du Wen gradually began to feel a little impetuous. Du Wen spat fiercely, and felt resentful in his heart.

I think about it left and right, but I feel that it is impossible.

The official seal on the letter was clearly genuine.

This was when the sun was setting in the west, and just when Du Wen was impatient and wanted to turn away, a small crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall. The crack grew larger, and finally turned into a secret door.

In the dim afterglow, this secret door is not obvious, and if Du Wen is not standing close, he will not notice the appearance of the secret door.

I pushed the secret door hard, and the secret door opened under stress.

Inside is a long, narrow tunnel, apparently dug recently.

The tunnel slopes straight down, and at the end is a dark chamber.

In the secret room sat a thin young man, the one who was going to make a deal with him this time.

"It's always been there, why are you still making me wait so long?" said Duwen, who was tired and thirsty, angrily.

The emaciated young man coughed twice with a pale face, as if he was sick, and said unhurriedly: "No way, I always have to be careful, Boss Du is a big businessman." As far as I know, anyone who does big business has more eyes and more hands, and his hands and feet are somewhat unclean!"

Hearing the young man speak like this, Du Wen's mind relaxed a little. This is normal, if it is a smooth sailing transaction, Du Wen feels that there is a ghost. Only when both parties have their own plans and fears, this is the real deal!

Du Wen did not rush to talk about the military quartermaster, but took a tone and said in a soothing voice: "This brother, brother, I am a little curious, the military quartermaster of the Eighth Army is very important, why did you choose me?"

The young man coughed twice, trying to smooth his breath, but it seemed that the cough was getting faster and faster, and finally he had to take out a jade bottle from his arms, carefully pour out a pill, and slowly put it into his mouth, and the coughing stopped.

"There's a reason for this, in this batch of munitions, we need your help to bring something special. ”

"Something special?" Du Wen was stunned, but not really surprised. This was expected, and he knew what he shouldn't ask, so he shouldn't ask more.

"And how are you going to trade?" said Du Wen cautiously.

The young man smiled and said, "I heard that Boss Du's pill business is very big, and I hope that Boss Du can come out with some good jackdaw grass, and I am grateful!"

The jackdaw herb is a healing medicine, but this herb is highly poisonous to the soldiers of the Fire Burning Army.

"The plan of the one above is not small!" Du Wen smiled reservedly, his fingers trembling slightly.

For some reason, Du Wen suddenly felt a little regretful.

With that adult's power, it would be too much trouble to use jackdaw grass against ordinary creeps. I think it's also going to deal with some big guys.

Is it good to step into such a right and wrong? (To be continued......)
