Chapter 212 A smooth trip to Fucheng

September 1322, [-] in the New Yu Calendar

Xingnan Fucheng, Sacred Heart Residence, third floor, private room

"The task that Brother Hou asked me to do has been completed. One hundred high-grade war horses are priced at 5000 taels each. The other five hundred well-bred war horses are priced at 500 taels each. The total price of the war horses is 6705 million taels of silver. ;
Hou's custom-made 1000 pairs of Fanpinzhen and other battle armors can be delivered tomorrow. The original price of one pair is more than 1000 taels. Brother Hou purchased so many at one time, so he discounted it and calculated it as 2000 taels, so the total is [-] million. ;
There are a total of 450 pieces of Fanpinzhen and other swords, crossbows and various standard weapons. After discount, the unit price is 350 taels, and the total price is [-] million taels. "

While Wan Xingyun was talking about the amounts one by one, his eyes never left the two Hou brothers. Such a large sum of money, even though he is the young leader of the Xiongyun Gang, the largest gang in Xingnan Prefecture, he got it yesterday. After hearing the news, he also clicked his tongue a little. He wanted to see how the two brothers would react after hearing it.

Not surprisingly, after he told the total price of these things, both Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan's expressions became shocked, painful, and even unbelievable...

After all, they are still a third-rate small clan. Even if they are prosperous, they still have not seen much of the world. They have nearly 4000 million taels of silver, and they show such an expression.

Wan Xingyun shook his head inwardly and began to worry that the two of them would not be able to pay.

"The total price of the three items is 950 million taels of silver. According to the transaction method that Brother Hou originally agreed with our Xiongyun Gang, 2000 million taels need to be paid in advance, and another 950 million taels will be paid before June next year. Two, I don’t know two…”

"Don't worry, Gang Leader Wan Shao, I will pay you with one hand tomorrow and deliver the goods with the other hand!"

Wan Xingyun looked stunned. He originally thought that whether the two of them were bargaining or reducing the purchase quantity, they would have to quarrel again. Unexpectedly, the two of them made a decision directly.

"Okay, you two are so happy. Tomorrow morning, I will transport the goods outside the city and deal with you in person!"

However, he did not hesitate for long. The Xiongyun Gang could also make a lot of money from this order. Since it was agreed upon, he quickly agreed and said goodbye to the two of them, saying they would see each other tomorrow during the transaction. Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie did not try to persuade him to stay.

After Wan Xingyun left, Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie were the only two people left in the guest room. They looked at each other with a hint of weirdness on their faces.

Li Sanyun walked in from outside the door. Seeing the strange looks on the two people's faces, he asked, "Why, this Wan Xingyun should be easy to deal with, right?"

The two of them nodded. As the young gang leader of the first-class Xiongyun Gang, Wan Xingyun was indeed an easy person to deal with.

Hou Yujie thought for a moment, and said first, "This Master Wan Shao is really easy to deal with, but what we are wondering is not this, but how this trip to Fucheng went so smoothly?"

Hou Yuduan also nodded, with a trace of doubt in his expression.

They arrived in Fucheng yesterday. They originally wanted to buy so many supplies this time, but the two of them did not talk to Li Sanyun in detail along the way. After all, he had been to Fucheng before. After getting to know each other, he knew that these three things were important to the entire Fucheng. There is only one family that can sell it, and that is the Xiongyun Gang, a top local force in Xingnan Prefecture. They both planned to spend a sum of money to deal with the Xiongyun Gang. Unexpectedly, not only did they not spend the money, but Xiongyun The people who helped found them first.

"When Wan Xingyun welcomed us yesterday, he obviously knew our purpose in advance. He was the one who proposed the prices of war horses, armor, and weapons first. I, the Hou family, want to come to Fucheng to buy these things. The Xiongyun Gang, How did you know in advance?”

Li Sanyun shook his head, chuckled twice and said: "You two young masters, you underestimate the Xiongyun Gang. This is a first-class force that has been in Xingnan Prefecture for more than 700 years. It is no exaggeration to say that the six counties of Xingnan Prefecture They are fully aware of every move below. Combining the war trends between the two states and the role played by my Hou family in this war, it is not difficult for them to deduce that my Hou family will also participate in the subsequent Hedong war. , it shouldn’t be difficult to guess that we need to buy these war preparation supplies for this trip.”

"That's not what we're wondering about, it's the Xiongyun Gang's purposeless goodwill!"

"Goodwill? From this transaction of ours, the Xiongyun Gang can earn at least millions of taels. War horses, armor, and weapons. They are all second-rate merchants. They can make such a large sum of money by changing hands. It is not enough to have goodwill. Strange, right?"

Hou Yuduan shook his head and said: "You think too simply. The benefits are indeed objective, but as you said, the Xiongyun Gang is a first-class force that has been in Xingnan Prefecture for more than 700 years. We cannot consider it with our eyes. Millions of taels Money may be considered a big gain in third-rate or even second-rate, but for them, it should be fine!"

Hou Yujie continued: "But from the time we entered the city yesterday to now, look at it. Not only Wan Xingyun, the young gang leader at the master level, personally greeted him, the three things to buy were also prepared in advance. They were ready in one day. The war horses and weapons are fine, but the battle armor we ordered needs to be stamped with the Hou family's lotus mark in a hurry. Let alone one day, even ten days, it may not be ready..."

After hearing what the two of them said, Li Sanyun suddenly came to his senses.

"Fourth Young Master is saying that the Xiongyun Gang has already prepared this batch of things?"

Hou Yujie nodded and said solemnly: "Not only do they know that we need these things, they can even guess the quantity clearly..."

"Head of the Xiongyun Gang, Li Feng Zhang Wanrenjue, he is 391 years old this year, and he is ranked 93rd on the list of demon giants. He is a peak warrior in the second realm of Yuan Dan with magical power. It is rumored that he is only one step away from the realm of Dzogchen. It is rumored that he has a relationship with Fu Yin Peng Yuhu They were at odds with each other a few years ago, but Master Fanyin stepped in to suppress them. Like other places in Yongzhou, the local forces were at odds with the officials sent by the holy sect. This was nothing new!

With this premise, we send troops to assist Zhan Taiqing in attacking Hedong County. As a rule, Wan Renjie should prevent us from purchasing this batch of war preparation materials. Even if he does not have the courage to offend the Holy Religion, he should not cause trouble for us or raise the price. I don’t dare, but the price Wan Xingyun just mentioned is even cheaper than what we inquired about yesterday.

This is strange. Could it be that the Xiongyun Gang is also part of the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect and has some grudges? "

Hou Yuduan always followed the plan before taking action. Before arriving in Fucheng, he had already investigated clearly, and he had the information about Wan Renjue at his fingertips.

"It's a pity. Brother originally expected that when we went to Fucheng to purchase this batch of materials, whether it was the Xiongyun Gang or other forces in Fucheng, they would interfere with it. As long as the price was exaggerated, we would immediately send a message back so that he could use it as an excuse to go to Zhan Taiqing. !”

After hearing Hou Yuduan's words, Hou Yujie and the two looked stunned.

"Use it as an excuse to go to Zhan Taiqing?"

Hou Yuduan nodded slightly, with a strange light in his eyes.

The two of them thought for a moment and immediately understood what he meant.

As far as the Hou family is concerned, it is best not to participate in the war in Hedong...

As long as someone in Fucheng obstructs it, Hou will immediately use this as an excuse to delay the time to send troops. It is best to wait for the fight on the east side of the river, or even finish it, so that Hou will not have to send troops, and everything will be fine!

"Maybe someone greeted Wan Renjue, or our little thoughts were discovered by the Holy Cult a long time ago, so this trip to Fucheng went so smoothly.

It's just that Wan Renjue is also the leader of the house. Peng Yuhu and Zhan Taiqing are not in the city. He is the well-deserved number one figure. To put it bluntly, he is leading the Xiongyun Gang to rebel now. Unless Daocheng or Zhan Taiqing Yongdu sent troops, otherwise others could not do anything to him.

Who else could such a person be instigated? Zhan Taiqing was stationed in Longxiang County with the army. Peng Yuhu didn't have this ability. Could it be that he was from Daocheng or Zongtan? "

Hou Yuduan nodded lightly and said: "In addition to the Eight Great Jialan, the Holy Cult also has the left and right guardians, and the higher one is the leader Sikong Xingzhou. That's all we know for the time being. There must be other masters in the Yongzhou General Altar. There’s no telling who’s coming!”

There was a strange look in Hou Yujie's eyes, and he said: "I'm confused. Looking at the current war in Hedong, hundreds of thousands of troops will be invested at every turn. Our Hou family only has 1 troops at all times. Is it so important and still needs to be spared?" The senior officials of the Chasheng Sect personally came to say hello to Wan Renjue and let us go smoothly..."

Not to mention 1 horses, even 10 or [-] horses may not play a big role in the upcoming war in Hedong. After all, this is a war between two holy places. Once a fight really breaks out, let alone the number of horses. One hundred thousand or one million is easy. After all, the Holy Land is already the top force in the world today.

"Lao Wu, have you noticed? The current situation is very strange. Big Brother predicts that after the war between the two states begins, the Rakshasa Holy Sect, which is already beleaguered on all sides, will definitely be in a hurry for a period of time, including internal and external problems, all of which will explode.

But as far as Xingnan Fucheng is concerned, the situation has not changed at all. Local snakes like the Xiongyun Gang not only did not cause trouble to the Holy Cult, but judging from the situation of this transaction, they even helped the Rakshasa Holy Cult. Yes, there is no trouble in Xingnan Mansion so close to Hedong, and other places are even more peaceful. It seems that the Rakshasa Holy Sect is not as weak as the outside world reports..."

After Hou Yujie finished speaking, Li Sanyun also nodded and said with a solemn expression: "I heard that many people from the six counties of Hedong in Guangling Prefecture are fleeing to the hinterland of Xuzhou. This is a normal reaction when the war is about to begin. If you think about it carefully, there really seems to be nothing going on in Xingnan Mansion at the moment. Even in our Tongling County, a large number of people ran away just because of the demon incident, but the battle didn't scare many people!"

“In my opinion, there are two reasons for this situation:
One is that the control of the Rakshasa Holy Cult over Xingnan Prefecture, including the entire Xiayuan Dao, is very strong. Even if some people have evil intentions, they cannot make trouble. Peng Yuhu took away the 17 prefecture troops in the prefecture, leaving only There are less than [-] government troops, but they are still in order and there is no trouble. This is iron proof!

The second is that so far, this war between the two states has not had the slightest impact on Yongzhou. Neither civilians nor warriors have been affected, so it is so peaceful..."

Hou Yuduan understood Hou Yujie's words immediately and nodded lightly.

Almost [-]% of the Xingnan Prefecture's troops were taken away by Peng Yuhu, but the city was still peaceful. Even the Xiongyun Gang and other forces did not dare to play havoc in the war between the two states, which shows the majesty of the Rakshasa Holy Cult in Xingnan Prefecture.

As a result, it is inconsistent with the reputation of the Rakshasa Holy Cult in the outside world...

The Holy Land at the bottom, with enemies from both sides, internal and external troubles, embattled on all sides, will soon be expelled from the other Nine Holy Lands...

The many comments from the outside world show how bad the reputation of the Rakshasa Holy Cult is. This bad reputation is not just hearsay, it must be based on certain facts, and the outside world can make such comments.

At the beginning of the war, the eldest brother guessed that the Rakshasa Holy Cult wanted to strike hard and shock all parties, so they would fight quickly and end it by attacking only three counties in Hexi. Otherwise, if the time is prolonged, internal and external problems will definitely explode.

However, the Rakshasa Holy Cult continued to attack the six counties of Hedong, which overturned the guess of eldest brother Hou Yuxiao.

Looking at the present, Xingnan Mansion is peaceful, and the rule of Yongzhou of the Rakshasa Sect seems to be stronger than that of the Wanjian Sect over Xuzhou. There is no sign of internal and external troubles...

"I have always been a little skeptical. After all, the Holy Sect of Rakshasa still has Sikong Xingzhou as the number one in the world. Even if there are real internal and external troubles, it is impossible for it to fall down to the Holy Land level as rumored by the outside world. Will there be rumors? Are they all fake? Isn’t the Rakshasa Holy Cult as weak as the outside world says? They... are actually very strong?"

Hou Yujie asked three questions in succession, causing both Hou Yuduan and Li Sanyun to fall into deep thought. They neither agreed nor objected. After a long silence, Hou Yuduan spoke.

"The strength of the Rakshasa Holy Cult has little to do with my Hou family. In fact, judging from the current situation of the Hou family, a stable Yongzhou is very important. If the Rakshasa Holy Cult is really strong, it can be considered A good thing.

In any case, as long as our trip goes well, we will return immediately after the transaction is completed tomorrow. We still have things to do in Jinling County. We must rush back to Wanyang County before September [-]th. If we are slow, we may not have enough time. "

"Yes, the Holy Sect of Rakshasa is really in chaos. The war in Hedong will be very fatal. Before the war in Hedong ends, I, the Hou family, can be considered a member of the Holy Sect of Rakshasa. I hope that the Holy Sect of Rakshasa is really as strong as we think. , continue to stand tall!"

The three of them discussed for a while and settled in the Sacred Heart that night.

On the next day, the three of them led the warriors from the Hou clan to trade outside the city. Wan Xingyun did as he promised, with one hundred high-grade war horses, five hundred thoroughbred war horses, [-] sets of black standard armor, plus [-] swords and crossbows of all kinds. All rare and standard weapons were brought here.

Hou Yuduan did not hesitate and paid 2000 million taels of silver directly. According to the transaction method agreed upon by both parties, this 2000 million was considered the first payment. Hou must pay the remaining balance before June next year.

The fifty carriages were put to use, and [-] weapons and [-] sets of battle armor inscribed with the Hou family's lotus seal were slowly assembled. However, the most exciting thing was the [-] horses, including Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie. Everyone, including everyone, was immediately moved when they saw these war horses.

Whether it is a thoroughbred or a top-grade war horse, both in terms of temperament and body shape, it is obviously more than one level better than the ordinary horses they ride on. Hou Yujie directly stepped forward and released his evil gathering period aura on the war horse. Seeing those None of the war horses showed a cowardly expression, but immediately smiled happily.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Wan. I have to rush back to Wanyang County this time and can't stay in Fucheng for a long time. When I come to Fucheng next time, I can have a drink with Young Master!"

Wan Xingyun had just finished counting the silver coins, and when he turned around, he discovered that Hou Yujie and others had already begun to pack their bags after inspecting the goods, and were ready to leave. He had obviously expected the coming and going of the Hou family, so he nodded and looked at the two of them. The man cupped his hands and said, "It's easy to say, Wan is in Fucheng, waiting for you two to come again at any time!"

The two of them nodded, bid farewell to Wan Xingyun, and quickly embarked on their return journey with more than [-] warriors from the Hou family, [-] vests and [-] horses.
