After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up: "Before I came to Yao Kingdom, I heard that General Xue is the pillar of the country, and he follows orders. After these days, I know that even the rumors cannot describe what General Xue is like. General Xue He is a dragon and a phoenix among men. His magnanimity and pomp cannot be matched by ordinary princes."

Of course Xue Zongwu could understand his sarcasm. After Yangshan Merchant asked Fan Shuang to complain to the emperor, King Yao flew to the northern route of Shu, scolded Xue Zongwu and warned him to restrain himself.

Fan Shuang didn't know what happened in these two cases, but King Yao knew it well, but he didn't punish them much.

Therefore, Xue Zongwu and He Lingchuan knew very well that such a complaint would not hurt Xue Zongwu's bones at all.

But He Lingchuan still wanted to sue. This was a matter of attitude.

During the Xiancheng arson case, neither Yang Shan nor Xue Zongwu felt comfortable. The former killed people, the latter was scolded.

"Master He, I also feel that hearing a hundred times is better than seeing it. Those who can do such a big business are usually smart people." Xue Zongwu looked at He Lingchuan and narrowed his eyes, "Smart people don't do stupid things."

A wise person should know who should never be offended.

"General Xue is so complimentary." He Lingchuan seemed not to hear the threat in his words, "That's all I have. I just do a small business, and sometimes I have to make wedding clothes for others."

Obviously King Yao personally stamped the seal on the agreement, but as a result, the paper agreement could not be implemented.

Xue Zongwu laughed: "Just do as the Romans do. What can you do? If you don't recognize it, I'm afraid the road behind you will become narrower and narrower."

Even if the King of Heaven blocks his way or gets in his way, he will kick him away.

The man surnamed He suffered a loss under his hands and was unwilling to accept it.

Very good, whether you are suffering from a loss or being angry, just let him hold it in!

His smile was like a tiger staring at a sheep, and Fan Shuang beside him couldn't help but shudder.

The power of these generals is so frightening!

The soul-capturing mirror said angrily: "Kill our people, burn our houses, and teach us to accept our fate? What a forgetful bastard!"

"What are you afraid of when you are narrow?" He Lingchuan's smile did not change. "Every road is so desolate that there is no way out. As long as we kick away the big rocks blocking the road, who knows if there will be another village with hidden flowers and bright future behind?"

Kick away? Xue Zongwu Dingding looked at him and laughed: "You really have the arrogance of a young man, no wonder my king likes you."

Fan Shuang finally noticed that the atmosphere between the two people was not right, and quickly interrupted: "The carriage is coming, General Xue, we have to go first."

Not to mention having a drink.

He retreated. General Xue was a tiger-like figure, so he had better not make peace with him.

"Oh?" Xue Zongwu asked, "Where is Hedao going? Do you want to go with me and take me with you?"

Fan Shuang almost sweated when she heard this. General Xue is a master who kills people without blinking an eye. If He Xiao dares to provoke him, what else can he do?

"I still have a few business deals to discuss, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with General Xue." He Lingchuan responded calmly, "I will visit General Xue again when I get to Tianshui City."

"Okay, it's settled." Xue Zongwu twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

Seeing him get on the carriage and drive away under the escort of two hundred fine cavalry, Fan Shuang let out a long breath and complained a little: "Brother He, why do you want to offend General Xue? Others are avoiding him for fear of not being able to do so."

"He took the initiative to find me." He Lingchuan was also nonchalant, "Besides, the person I want to offend later has a higher status and more powerful than him. If I don't bite him if I have too many lice, why should I be afraid of what he will do?"

Fan Shuang was ashamed.

He knew that He Lingchuan was referring to Qingyang.

It seems that Island Master He is also very clear about his own intentions.

He Lingchuan said again: "Besides, do you really think he dares to kill me in the capital of Yao Kingdom and in broad daylight?"

"Uh..." Fan Shuang felt really unsure.

General Xue killed people in a rage in Tianshui City. This is not new.

He Lingchuan was saying: "Even in Lingxu City, even under the eyes of the gods, this kind of thing has never happened."

Fan Shuang had a thousand things to say and didn't know where to start, so he just laughed a few times and suddenly felt that it would not be easy to accompany He Lingchuan to the capital this time.

He can clearly see through your thoughts and schemes, but he won't expose you easily. He seems approachable and enthusiastic, but you don't know when he will suddenly become sharp.

Thinking about the ferocious General Xue, and then looking at the friendly He Lingchuan, it is hard to imagine that it was He Lingchuan who took the lead in provoking General Xue just now, without any ambiguity.

Fan Shuang didn't understand, since He Lingchuan knew that his trip to Tianshui City would involve facing the big trouble of Qingyang Supervisor, why did he offend General Xue for no reason?

But he also thought that this "good friend" was the one who escaped unscathed from the whirlpool of struggle between Qingyang and Shuangye, Lingxu City and Tiangong with the help of the elixir case. How could he do things without propriety and trust?

He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Okay, Brother Fan, let's set off and arrive in the capital as soon as possible."

It was not easy for him to rush on the road. After all, there was Fan Shuang and the guards sent by King Yao. Fortunately, Xue Zongwu took a carriage after landing, and the speed was naturally much slower than riding a horse. He Lingchuan still had the possibility to catch up.

He asked Fan Shuang: "What should we do next?"

After landing on the Baitiao River, there are several routes to choose from to the capital of Yao Kingdom.

Fan Shuang had already known something, so he immediately said: "The shortest route is to pass through Zhuo'an and continue east. You can reach the capital in four days. If Brother He wants to visit Mangzhou, we will take a longer detour, and then we will take the next six days." It can reach the capital.”

He is accompanying the distinguished guest to the capital. No matter where the distinguished guest wants to go, as long as he can catch up with Yao Wang Shoudian, he will try his best to accompany him.

He Lingchuan raised his hand and said, "I heard that Mangzhou is also a rare prosperous place in the Golden Flash Plains."

Fan Shuang was a little proud: "Yes, Mangzhou is the second largest city in our country, regardless of area, population, or resource endowment."

"Then let's go to Zhuo'an."

"...Brother He, don't you want to go to Mangzhou?" If you don't want to go, what are you doing eagerly?

"I've thought about it a lot, but we'll go there when we return." He Lingchuan said in an orderly manner, "I remember, how many families in Zhuo'an are preparing to cooperate with Yang Shan?"

He happened to go over to check out the spot.

"Everyone else wants to visit a wealthy place, but Brother He always cares about business. No wonder he is such a successful businessman." Fan Shuang understood, "Okay, let's go to Zhuo'an to visit a few aristocratic families."

After they left, the dock was still bustling with people unloading and loading ships, and they were very busy.

The foreman of the ship the Weng brothers were on went to the dock tavern after nightfall and ordered two glasses of wine and a plate of boiled beans in salt water.

He made a good profit on this trip, and the wages of those who were underpaid went into his pocket. Thinking of this, the boat foreman ordered another plate of pig skin jelly, which he treated as meat.

They can't leave tonight anyway. Once the ship is ready for supplies, they will have to return tomorrow.

He was drinking comfortably when a man appeared from the tavern and sat down on the empty chair at his table.

The ship foreman was about to tell him to get out, but this man took out two pieces of silver and put it on the table: "Brother, I want to ask you for some news."

This money was enough for him to eat meat for several meals. The foreman immediately swallowed the unpleasant words and reached out to collect the broken silver: "What do you ask?"

"Did General Xue come here on your boat?"

"no."

Wan Qifeng was startled. no? He asked along the way.

"After we sailed from Longkou Ferry, I learned that General Xue sent all his men to my boat and he chose another small boat."

Wan Qifeng suddenly realized. So Xue Zongwu used a blind trick? clever.

"Several people were taken away from your ship this afternoon. What happened?"

"Those ones..." The boat foreman hesitated and weighed the broken silver in his hands.

Wan Qifeng understood immediately and threw out another coin.

"Master Xue's guards have determined that these people are acting suspiciously and will take them away for questioning."

suspicious? Wan Qifeng asked again: "What happened on the ship?"

"Nothing, everything is peaceful."

"No fighting, no dispute?"

"Nothing. This is the smoothest boating experience I have experienced in many years." After the foreman finished speaking, he raised his neck and took another sip of wine.

By the time he put down his glass, there was no one on the other side.

…

Here Fan Shuang led He Lingchuan and others on their way until nightfall before they found a posthouse to rest.

Entering the central part of Yao Kingdom, the posthouses here are different from those in other places in the Golden Flash Plains. They are even different from those in the western part of Yao Kingdom. They are no longer just simple accommodations and horses. These inns are also open to civilians and business travelers, and the food and accommodation are of several levels, no different from the inns outside.

It also provides services such as purchasing horses, sending and receiving letters, and purchasing products.

This was the first time He Lingchuan saw a post office offering purchasing agents, not even Bejia. Local civilians and businessmen can place orders for products within a hundred miles radius from the postmaster. The messengers who come and go will send this demand, and when the caravan comes, they will bring the products together.

This provides great convenience to local people and even indirectly promotes the prosperity of the local market.

He Lingchuan knew that this kind of gameplay must be based on abundant supplies, good public security, convenient transportation, and smooth information. It can be seen that Yao Country is really a strange flower on the Golden Gold Plains.

No wonder the golden people hate it and yearn for it.

He Lingchuan even saw wine aphid candies from the Yangshan Islands on the shelves of the post house!

This is a new product launched at the end of last year. It was developed by Zhu Erniang herself. The aphid sugar contains a little bit of fermented aroma of alcohol. People with poor alcohol tolerance will become tipsy after eating a few more pieces.

He remembered that this kind of candy had just been supplied to Blade Port and Bailie, and both were sold out in seconds as soon as they were put on the shelves.

But the price of wine aphid candies here is only about twice as expensive as Yangshan.

He Lingchuan murmured: "Is it so cheap?"

"Is this cheap?" Dong Rui happened to hear, "You black-hearted businessman!"

"Although aphid sugar is not easy to spoil, the transportation cost from Yangshan to here is high. Just doubling the price is equivalent to making a small profit." He Lingchuan sighed, "Even aphids can't be sold. It's true. Coco’s hometown.”

Yes, one of Zhuo'an's specialties is cocoa!
