The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

After the man in smart shorts came in, other people went down the mountain to convey Xuan Yuan's order, asking those who asked for a meeting at the bottom of the mountain to please come up the mountain.

Xuan Yuan is not worried about the fact that someone knows where he is currently stationed. The mountain col he occupies was originally carefully selected by horse thieves and bandits. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, they have more than 2,000 people who are familiar with the battle formation. , it would be impossible to capture it without tens of thousands of people.

But if there are tens of thousands of troops heading here, how can they completely cover up their whereabouts? I'm afraid they will be discovered early, and if they can respond in time, they won't be attacked by force.

"Replying to your lord, the people who came down the mountain to see me claimed to be businessmen from Fengyuan Kingdom. Their young masters are willing to support you and provide us with food and supplies. I only hope that in the future, after you achieve something, you can strengthen your belief and seek fair treatment and equality for men. status.”

The man in short jacket is also very young, with an ordinary and featureless face. He is the type that will be forgotten after seeing it. He is very suitable for inquiring about information and doing this kind of spy work. He was originally a refugee in a small town on the border of Fengyuan Kingdom, and was one of the men who took the initiative to seek refuge in Xuan Yuan.

After hearing the report from the man in bunted clothes, Xuan Yuan nodded slightly, with a cold and calm expression. He tilted his head thoughtfully and asked, "Is their young boss a man?" Why else would he be so active? However, to be able to start a business in Feng Yuan Kingdom as a man, it is obvious that their young boss should not be underestimated.

Neither Qingxuan nor the man in bungalows responded. They just stayed silent and let Xuanyuan think for himself and decide whether to meet these people or cooperate with them.

After pondering for a while, Xuan Yuan decided to give it a try. He wanted to raise an army that could deal with Feng Yuan Kingdom and Huang Yu Kingdom. He needed too many things, and both manpower and financial resources were very lacking. In this case, someone comes to ask for cooperation, and he will try it whether it is true or false.

"Qingxuan, you go and do your work first." Xuanyuan first said to Qingxuan and asked him to continue to work on hoarding food and supplies. Then he looked at the young man in shorts and nodded with an indifferent expression. "Invite them to the lobby."

After the two people left one after another, Xuan Yuan picked up the long sword on the table and hung it on his waist again. Just like that, he wore a simple and ordinary black clothes and headed towards the lobby with the long sword hanging on his waist.

Most of the houses where more than 3,000 people live in the mountain col were originally built by horse thieves and bandits, and a small half were newly built. Regardless of whether they are old or new, they have been renovated and now look relatively neat and clean.

Although they are not rich, for these more than 3,000 refugees who are struggling to make ends meet at the border, having a shelter from the wind and rain is already a rare luxury. Now they have a place to live, enough to eat, and warm clothes. Even if I am tired from daily training, no one will complain.

It is September now, and the temperature in the mountains is a little lower. It is already afternoon, and the golden sunshine is shining down, covering this area of ​​the mountain forest with a layer of bright and gorgeous gold powder. Outside the row of houses, there are terraced fields. Children aged seven or eight are playing in the fields, catching crickets and helping with watering and catching insects. Their crisp laughter fills the entire field.

There are older middle-aged people in their forties or fifties working in the terraced fields. Because they have new farming tools, it is not too hard. In addition, they can get a lot of the cultivated food, and they are willing to do it even if they work hard.

Many people greeted Xuan Yuan along the way, with reverence and gratitude in their eyes. However, they also knew Xuan Yuan's character. They just said hello and then stepped aside to let Xuan Yuan pass by. No one came forward to talk to Xuan Yuan. They all knew that. My elder has a cold and indifferent temperament and doesn't like to talk.

When Xuan Yuan arrived at the reception hall, the people who had asked to see them at the foot of the mountain had been invited up. Except for the leading woman, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, the rest of the people who followed were standing behind her, alert to danger.

When Xuan Yuan came in, the person who was greeting these guests breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, you are here." She was a woman in her thirties, named Lin Lang. She was tall, slender, and had bronze skin, and her face was shrewd and kind. Gan Lian is a supervisor under Qingxuan, who is mainly responsible for going to the market for transactions.

Basically, she was responsible for transporting the medicinal materials and furs they dug from the mountains and forests to sell in the markets of the two countries, and then exchanged them for food and supplies. She was smart and capable, and was indispensable to Qingxuan's subordinates. helper.

"Since the Lord is here, I will take my leave first." Lin Lang smiled brightly, his voice magnetic and hearty, "This guest said that he has something to discuss with the Lord, so I will go and do other things first."

Nowadays, there is no idle person in the entire mountain col. Everyone has a lot of things to do, and even the children have to help with what they can, but no one complains about being tired, because although they are tired, it is good for them. In other words, there is hope in life.

Lin Lang went out in a hurry. He was called to greet these guests just now, but there were still things to be done. What's more, Mr. Qingxuan also had something to discuss with her. She was very busy and had no time. After all, he was not looking for her to discuss business when he was greeting the guests.

After Xuan Yuan watched Lin Lang leave, he sat directly at the top, then looked at the visitor with cold and calm eyes, and said in a calm and calm tone: "I wonder where you are from and what you want to discuss?"

The leader of this team, the only woman sitting on the chair, looked confused and helpless. She was also a guest after all. Why was the person greeting here so perfunctory? She came in a while ago and didn't even have a cup of tea.

Well, it's okay if there's no tea. Anyway, she didn't come all the way here with her entourage just to drink tea. She did everything possible to find General Qing Wu's location and came to see him because of the orders of the young master's family.

The main reason was that General Qingwu was a little too direct, which made her a little bit unable to recover. However, no matter how surprised she was, as the sole manager of the merchant pavilion, she still had a calm and indifferent smile on her face: "I wonder if General Qingwu has ever Have you ever heard of Wang’s Shangge?”

Xuan Yuan raised his eyes, glanced at the supervisor coldly and indifferently, frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "No." Qing Wu had lived in the border areas for many years, and he never paid attention to anything else.

The only time I left the border and went to the imperial capital, I didn't leave a good impression. I even lost my life in the imperial capital, so of course I didn't understand what merchants were. As for Xuanyuan, although he had stayed in the imperial capital for a period of time, it was obvious that he had not known Shangge.

The female manager of Wang’s Merchant Pavilion: ……It’s not easy to continue the conversation!

Although she was very depressed, she still briefly talked to Xuan Yuan about the situation of their Wang's merchant house. Although her tone was relatively modest, her pride in her merchant house could not be concealed in her words and expressions.

But she does have the capital to be proud and proud. Wang's merchant house is the number one merchant house in Fengyuan Kingdom. It is as rich as any other country. Its business has even reached the Phoenix Yu Kingdom. It has a high status in both countries. It can be said that it is a big businessman with a high status. merchant.

Xuan Yuan listened silently to her introduction to Wang's Merchant Group, and then asked very straightforwardly: "Since Wang's Merchant Group has such status and power, why do you still want to cooperate with me? To be honest, I feel There is nothing that Guishang Pavilion likes."

The supervisor who was used to making many twists and turns in doing business was a little confused when faced with Xuan Yuan's unconventional straight-to-the-point approach. He was stunned for a moment and then slowly said: "General Qing Wu, to be honest, I don't know the reason. It’s very clear that this is the young master’s order.”

Xuan Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded clearly, and said with still indifferent expression: "In this case, we can discuss cooperation. I wonder how much food and materials your lord is willing to provide, and what kind of compensation is required?"

"In addition, since Guishang Pavilion has such a status and connections in Fengyuan Kingdom, I wonder if it is possible to transport some armors and weapons? Speaking of which, there are many ancient medicinal materials in this mountain forest. For Guishang Pavilion, it should be It’s of some use. I wonder if Guishang Pavilion is interested in doing this business?”

The supervisor of Wang's Merchant Pavilion quickly understood what Xuan Yuan meant and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He maintained his composure and whispered: "You asked Wang's Merchant Pavilion to smuggle armor and weapons for you? General Qing Wu, you are Are you planning to arm an army?"

Regarding her shock and questions, Xuan Yuan did not comment, but said lightly: "I know that you can't make a decision on these matters for the time being. It's better to go back and report it to the young master's family in Guishang Pavilion."

"But I have something to say first. I will not take advantage of your business pavilion. I will pay for the food and materials. It's just the friendship and favor that your business pavilion is willing to come all the way to this borderland to trade with us. I will remember it and will do it in the future. It pays off.”

Just like that, the female manager sent by Wang's Merchant Pavilion this time didn't even have time to say a few words, and was sent away by Xuan Yuan in confusion. She was surrounded by guards behind her and walked down the mountain with a lot of questions.

It was only at the foot of the mountain that the female supervisor smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying in frustration: "Young master, I have failed in your trust. Nothing has been negotiated."

"No, we have reached an agreement." A clear voice sounded, and the person who spoke was actually a guard of the supervisor.
