Dark Fairy

Chapter 180: Confused and clueless

Bailang has been thinking about what Wang Lin said before for the past two days, but he is still a little hesitant.

Bailang had already fully realized the importance of spirit stones.He understood that the further he practiced, the more indispensable the spirit stone was, and it was the most basic resource and the most important resource for Qi practitioners to practice.

But Bailang currently knows three ways to obtain spirit stones.

The first is to steal from the Lingshi mine.Like what Huang Yi did.

The second type is to hang out in the knife studio honestly. If you get to the knife position, you can get some spiritual stones, just like the ones in Tang Yan's hand.

The third is to bid on the black market.

The first way of taking Huang Yi's old path is obviously not feasible.At least with Bailang's current strength, it was a dead end.

The second type is temporarily Bailang is not sure, and even has a hidden conspiracy that needs him to break.If it can be successful, it would be a way.

In the end, the black market seems to be feasible, but due to the lack of connections, things like spirit stones are not simply "expensive" in the black market, and they pay more attention to channels.Otherwise, even if you go there with money, you won't be able to buy anything.Because although spirit stones are expensive, who among the Qi refiners can be poor?

Now Bailang has just come into contact with the black market business, and his plan is to quickly accumulate wealth by relying on the fortune bureau he saved on the dock and the black market counter to collect passing money, and then return to the black market to buy spiritual stones.After all, spiritual stones are too expensive.Even if the fortune accumulated by Bailang in the industrial park is enough to make enough money, it is not enough to maintain the long-term purchase of spirit stones.He entered the black market because of "poverty."

However, Bailang himself is unfamiliar with the black market, and what he relies on is Wang Lin, the former middleman of the black market.But although Wang Lin has brains and insight, he doesn't have any connections in the black market that are enough to make him happy.It is the limit to be able to contact the news of Lingshi, but it is still far from getting the goods directly from the seller.

Wang Lin's statement is that the only channel he has access to to get the spirit stones is a green forest tycoon named "General Shan". He has over [-] thieves under his command and is one of the most prominent thieves around Yongchuan City. .

And the General Shan said that he could provide spirit stones to Bailang on a regular basis, but there is a requirement, that is, Bailang needs to give him the exclusive half of the berths at the pier to buy illegal goods, and he cannot limit the category of illegal goods, but he can accept a certain amount The cap so that the dock is hidden.

This is not profitable and does not get up early, which is essentially the same as the tolls paid by Bailang's black market business.

What the general Shan wanted was to find a stable shipping channel for the black goods in his hands, so that he would no longer be moldy in his hands for a long time.It is not impossible to even resell the price difference.

Facing the other party's request, Bailang found it difficult.

If you don't agree, you don't know how long you will have to wait for the next channel about Lingshi.And it’s unclear how much the price will increase.

But if you agree, it means that the risks that the dock has just been erected will immediately double.

Therefore, Bailang has not responded to the other party yet, but asked Wang Lin to continue to maintain the current rules of selling goods.No one can mess around.If anyone dares to mess up, let Wang Si lead the people to deal with it.

As for the other Bailang, he had to think about it again.

Not long after lunch, Bailang was going to make a statistics of the income on the dock during this period, and then distribute the first profit.

The people in the knife shop are impatient. What they like to find money is quick money. The industrial park has such a great reputation and is so lively. Although everyone didn't mention it, they must be hoping that Bailang will give them a count so that they can feel at ease.This is also a major event that Bailang will hurry up in the next few days.

But Zhang Wu rushed in anxiously, interrupting Bailang's plan, and said, "Master Bai, something serious happened!"

Bai Lang frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that either something happened at the pier, or something happened again over at the Hemp Rope Alley.

But Zhang Wu said: "Master Bai, the city has posted a list to recruit people to pay the military tax! This time I heard that there are 1000 people! Not only in the city, but also in the villages outside, people have been selected, all of whom are around 40 years old. Man. I'll call my name today and leave one night to say goodbye to my family. We'll leave at noon tomorrow.

Moreover, the street wanderers at the city lord's mansion also reported that in the past two days, the official warehouses have been opened for food, and a large truckload of trucks has been transported out, and soldiers have come out of it.

Master Bai, do you think there is going to be a war? "

fight?

These two words are really far away from Bailang.When he was a social animal in another world, the environment he lived in was a paradise protected by a group of steel great walls.fight?It can only appear in international news or historical materials.Never had a personal feeling.

After arriving here, Bailang only hung out in the knife shop, and everyone around him was just thinking about making a living, and few people mentioned the word "war".Even when Bai Lang learned about the history of the Hong Dynasty, he also learned that as far as the Hong Dynasty was concerned, there had been no real war for decades.

Why did Zhang Wu suddenly mention this word?
"Isn't that true?" Bai Lang subconsciously shook his head to express his disapproval of Zhang Wu's guess.

"But Master Bai, Yongchuan City hasn't collected a military tax for many years. The last time it only collected more than a hundred people, and it still went to the Yuzhong Military Mansion to help with the school and came back soon.

But the place we want to go this time is far away in Pengshan, the northernmost part of Hong Dynasty! "

"Pengshan? Do you know where it is?"

"Hey, Lord Bai, I definitely don't know where Pengshan is, but I heard a few masters discussing it on the way, and I heard some. They said that Pengshan is just south of the Tianduan Mountain Range, which guards our Hong Dynasty to Yunyan. The only intersection in the city is the famous Pengshan Pass. Lord Bai has heard of Pengshan Pass, right?"

"Pengshan? Pengshanguan?!" Bailang was also shocked.Not only had he heard the word Pengshanguan, he was familiar with it.There are not too many stories, operas, poems and ditties about Pengshanguan.From eighty to eight years old, no one does not know about Pengshan Pass and the major events that happened here.

"Are you worried that the Yunyan disaster will happen again?" Bai Lang thought of the reason why Zhang Wu was so panicked.Because the biggest incident related to Pengshan Pass was the huge military disaster that almost wiped out the entire Hong Dynasty decades ago.

This is the "Yunyan Disaster" recorded in the history books of the Hong Dynasty.

Zhang Wu nodded and said: "Master Bai, when my grandfather was still alive, he often told me about the disaster he experienced in Yunyan when he was a child. It was so miserable! The barbarians in Yunyan are inhumane. They kill them wherever they go. Wherever they go, they still eat people! And ordinary warriors can't please their wrestlers at all. And they also have their own qi refiners, which are very difficult to deal with."

"Don't think too much. What if things are not what you think?"

"But the conscripts have all come to our Yongchuan City. It must be very dangerous over there in Pengshan. Hey, Mr. Bai, I am so nervous that you are laughing."
