After the immortal disappeared

Fang Canran smiled and said, "This dreamland actually exists in a small town ninety miles northwest of Lingxu City. It should still have two to three thousand residents, so it will not disappear in a short time. The mountains and rivers there are beautiful, the folk customs are simple, and the women are gentle. , Mr. He can experience it carefully in his dream."

He Lingchuan was moved: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, this is what I urgently need right now!"

The nightmare stored in Panlong City was howling all day long, and he had to find a nest for this guy.

But Fang Canran seems to be smiling a little strangely?

Then He Lingchuan had to pay the bill.

Dunyuan specializes in rare treasures and is one of the largest treasure merchants in Lingxu City. It holds auctions regularly in order to build and maintain its own brand. As long as buyers demand unusual treasures like Mengxiang, Sheyuan will find ways to find them.

Of course, the price of a certain product is definitely not low.

This little town dream ate up his nine thousand six hundred taels of silver in one go.

Eight thousand of them is the purchase price, which needs to be transferred to the seller; Dunyuan also charges another 20% as handling fee, which is one thousand six hundred taels.

Don't look at Fang Canran's reserved smile, but he was not polite at all when he collected the money.

He Lingchuan was also secretly feeling sick, so he spent almost 10,000 taels of silver (nearly 10 million yuan) to buy a toy. This really confirmed his reputation as a playboy back then.

Of course, he smiled nonchalantly on the surface: "Mr. Fang is a busy man. It's rare for me to catch him. How about staying at Pian Xiang Villa for a simple meal tonight?"

He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Fang Canran to readily agree: "That's perfect. I've heard that the mead in Pianxiang Villa is so delicious that even Commander Fan San is coveting it."

This guy's information is really well-informed. "It's no big deal, that's enough."

Of course it's not dark yet and it's not time to drink. Fang Canran picked up the tea cup and started talking again: "Master He, young Junyan, is he really from the Fu country?"

"Well, my background is not worth mentioning."

"Regardless of their origins, there are many heroes in Lingxu City who come from small countries and remote areas, and now they all have a seat in the court." Fang Canran waved his hand, "Look, my ancestor is not a native of Lingxu City, but Mr. Higa. Came decades earlier.”

"Lingxu City has been around for nearly six hundred years. For people like you and me, there will be no dividends if we come a few decades earlier or a few decades later. We all rely on our own hard work." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "It is unknown where Mr. Fang's ancestral home is. ?”

"My ancestors were nomadic and had homes all over the world. But I heard that they first lived in Tabu, which is now near the southern border of Chiyan. I wonder if Mr. He has any impressions of that?"

He Lingchuan exclaimed: "Yes, that's great! Mr. Fang's ancestral home is Chiyan, and he has a lot of fate with us."

Tabu is the junction between the southern part of Chiyan and the Twilight Plain, where Fu Shanyue also had a conflict with Zhongsun Mou. He Lingchuan's bighorn blue sheep was also plotted against by Mai Xuewen (Xi Yunhe)'s men there, and was almost taken away by Snail Toad.

The reason why He Lingchuan was surprised was because he knew that Taba belonged to the former Yuan Kingdom before the Chiyan Kingdom was established!

Strictly speaking, it is part of the Twilight Plains. However, after the Yuan Kingdom was destroyed and Chiyan was established, the Demon Emperor placed it within the Chiyan Kingdom.

Therefore, even though the commoners born here are under the feet of the Yuan Kingdom's former land, they are all Chiyan people with legal status, not the untouchables of the Twilight Plains!

The exquisiteness in this made He Lingchuan's heart spin.

Did the other party specifically raise this point to him? Why?

Fang Canran smiled: "Yes, I felt like I fell in love with Mr. He the first time I saw him."

"This sentence is a big deal." He Lingchuan geared up, "That's all, we won't wait for dinner. How about we go to the lake to drink first?"

"good!"

So the two of them strolled to the back mountain. The tiger, which had been lying on the big tree outside the courtyard, opened its eyes and purred.

This was Jiao Yu asking him if he wanted to follow. He Lingchuan waved his hand at him: "You can go to sleep. Brother Fang and I will go to the boat to drink."

The space in the boat is too small. After two people sit in, the tiger cannot stretch out inside.

After hearing this, the tiger put his big head back on the branch of the tree, hung his legs on it, closed his eyes and continued to snore.

Fang Canran said while walking around: "The ancient trees in the Prince's garden are all treasures, and they are older than the trees in Dun Garden."

"Pianxiang Garden had a glorious life in the hands of the previous owner, right?"

"Yes, Chunyu's married daughter held a banquet at Pianxiang Villa twenty years ago. At that time, my uncle brought me here to deliver goods. I still remember that there were so many guests here at that time, and the scene was very lively. Now -" Fang Canran He sighed, "Now that the owner has changed, it's much quieter."

"With a look from the emperor, two hundred years of prosperity and wealth have all gone by the wayside." Chunyu's family stood in the wrong team and their home was ransacked. "This is really a flowing family and an iron-clad Lingxu City."

Fang Canran glanced at him and both laughed: "Who says it's not the case?"

There seems to be a meaning in the laughter.

The two of them walked along the newly built pier to the boat. The waiter had already arranged the food and drinks, bowed and left.

He Lingchuan personally punted the boat and sailed the boat to the center of the lake.

It was windy today, so the boat drifted along the shallow waves, which was very interesting.

The blue lake was making waves, and the autumn light was reflected. Fang Canran praised: "You have such a beautiful scenery on the lake."

The sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine has been warmed in a small red clay stove. He Lingchuan filled Fang Canran's cup to seven points: "There are rumors that General Golden Horn is easy to see, but General Manager Fang is difficult to recruit."

Fang Canran is deeply trusted by General Jinjiao and manages a huge industry. It is said that Fang Canran is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. He has power and is usually very busy. Being invited to a banquet is called a reward.

"Master He, don't you know that you are already very popular? I heard that the fifth son of the Ke family personally delivered this boat to your door, so why shouldn't I take a trip?" Fang Canran toasted to him, "Now in Lingxu In the city, Prince Chiyan is the most popular, and Mr. He is the second most popular."

oh? Do you already have such a high reputation in Lingxu City? He Lingchuan pointed towards the shore with his chopsticks: "I don't feel any benefits, only various inconveniences."

The two of them walked all the way, with tails following behind them.

Fang Canran also felt it, and turned back to look at the figure on the shore: "Is that Tongxinwei?"

"Yes. They follow me when I come in and out, even outside the toilet. It's very troublesome."

"There are no more than ten people in Lingxu City who can work together to guard the thatched building." Fang Canran said with a smile, "Young Master He should be proud. You must know that ladies and ladies from every family are also asking about you. , this is a good thing.”

"What a good thing?" He Lingchuan took a mouthful of jealous peanuts. This is the cook's special skill. It's sour and sweet. Besides honey and vinegar, I don't know what else she added. In short, it's sour but not overpowering, sweet but not greasy, soft on the outside and crispy on the inside. It goes well with wine. "Can we have an affair?"

"I can't tell." Fang Canran gave him a look that every man would understand.

He Lingchuan smiled and took a sip of wine.

Fang Canran asked him again: "After the elixir case is over, where will Mr. He go?"

This was the first outsider in Lingxu City to ask about his whereabouts. He Lingchuan's expression changed: "I originally wanted to come to Lingxu City to gain experience, but unexpectedly I got involved in this kind of turmoil. I don't know if I can escape unscathed. I didn't dare to think about it. Things to do in the future.”

"General Jinjiao is eager for talents, and he has heard of Mr. He. If you are interested, I can help you recommend him."

He Lingchuan said curiously: "I don't know how to run a business. I will only cause trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to make money for General Jinjiao."

"Skills have specializations." Fang Canran said, "With Mr. He's current reputation, others would never dream of envying him. It would be a pity not to dig into it."

He Lingchuan swayed his wine glass: "Mr. Fang is saying that I should wait for the price and sell it, or choose a good owner and live there?"

"Does Mr. He have other ambitions?" Fang Canran said warmly, "Looking at the past hundreds of years, the heroes from all directions came to Lingxu City to work hard, just to sell their literary and martial arts to the emperor's family." Or, to sell them to princes, generals and ministers. It is also a noble way out.

What qualifications does the young man in front of him have to be exempted from the secular world?

He Lingchuan laughed and said, "My luck is shallow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the wealth of Lingxu City."

"If Mr. He is not lucky enough, how can he go back and forth among these aristocratic families with ease?" Fang Canran raised the corner of his mouth, "If it were an ordinary person, he would have been dragged into the whirlpool, and he would not know whether he would live or die."

"Whirlpool?" He Lingchuan sighed, "I have offended Commander Fan Er, but Master Ke Wu sent me such a large boat. It became the focus of the audience that day, and the Fan brothers took a look at Pianxiang Villa that day. Right. Oh, aren't you putting me on the fire?"

"There are some disputes between these two parties. Whatever the Fan brothers are unhappy with, the Ke family will do it. I guess the Ke family probably calculated that the Fan brothers would show up at Pianxiang Villa that day, so they did it intentionally." Fang Canran I couldn't help but laugh, "Young Master He happened to be meeting at the right time, he was just caught in the middle, otherwise they would have found other things to quarrel with each other."

He took a sip of wine and said, "I remember one year, Commander Fan bought a pair of arm gauntlets in Dunyuan, which were suitable for the third son of the Fan family. When the Ke family saw it, hey, here's an opportunity, they immediately went to increase the price. . The armband that started at 9,000 yuan went up to 150,000 yuan!"

"Commander Fan didn't get it?" He Lingchuan had a fight with the violent bear in Baishaqian and couldn't remember what kind of armband it wore; having said that, if it had worn it, the knife might not be able to chop off its forearm. "He doesn't look like he has any money."

"Boss Fan saw how motivated the Ke family was, so he had to give up." Fang Canran shook his head, "The Ke family is not as good as Fan in terms of fighting ability; but when it comes to fighting for wealth... Want to compete with the Ke family for financial resources in Lingxu City? Everyone has to think carefully. think."

"The Ke family is no more wealthy than the Ke family, and their reputation is well-deserved." He Lingchuan shook his head, "Who wouldn't be envious after hearing that the Ke family has been favored by heaven for more than a hundred years?"

Fang Canran smiled: "Dunyuan and the Ke family have always had business relationships. The Ke family does not care much about money when buying treasures. However, the quantity of goods that the Ke family has ordered from me for a long time has dropped a lot in the past ten years."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "What kind of goods is it?"
