Otherworld Qin

Chapter 43 Chapter 48

I don't know how to promote my book, but I am very relieved to see people reading it all the time, let's continue to work hard!

I would be very grateful if I could vote! ! ! !

The two were talking, when suddenly there was chaos downstairs, Xiaoer took a look and hurried back with a pale face, Sheng Xuan also hurriedly looked out of the window, and saw a group of troops suddenly appearing on the street, all of them Wearing silver armor and riding on tall horses, I vaguely feel that these people are probably at the lowest level of fighting spirit around the sixth level. What is such a powerful army doing?I saw more than a hundred giant four-wheeled carriages behind the team, and each carriage was pulled by sixteen extremely strong horses. The goods on the carriages were obviously extremely heavy. Walking rumbled through the street, it felt like the entire restaurant was in a hurry. shaking.

The man glanced at it and said softly, "My goods have arrived, little brother, let's go." It turned out to be his goods?With such a large army escort, and he said it so easily, what kind of business does this man have?Sheng Xuan hurriedly followed him out of the restaurant, and heard someone whispering in the shop next to him, "Whose product is this? It's such a big show. It needs to be escorted by the Silver Armored Army. I think it must be all treasures." Another person Hastily said, "You don't know this, didn't you see the logo on that car? This is the product of Chilong Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Guzhu."

It was the first time Shengxuan heard of the Chamber of Commerce, but immediately he knew that the elder brother who had dinner at the same table just now was the boss of the Chilong Chamber of Commerce, but what kind of business was his Chamber of Commerce doing?He couldn't help but become more curious.

Seeing the boss coming out, a person in the convoy immediately walked out and saw that he was obviously a leader, but when he walked closer and saw Sheng Xuan, he was stunned, and the person hurriedly said, "This is a little brother I met recently, named Ye,..." Sheng Xuan hurriedly Said, "My name is Ye Chengxuan." The man continued, "Yes, this is brother Shengxuan, and this is Lao Song, the deacon of my chamber of commerce."

Hearing this, Lao Song hurriedly saluted him and said politely, "Master Ye." Sheng Xuan also hurriedly returned the salute, and Lao Song said to the man, "Boss, our trip is not going well. After being chased and killed several times, I'm afraid these people..." The man waved his hand to signal him to stop talking, and then asked, "How about the loss?" "Basically there is no loss of goods, but we lost a lot of brothers." He punched himself in the palm of his hand angrily, "Remember to take good care of these brothers when you go back, let's make a note of this hatred for the time being, and it will always be found when it comes back."

The convoy slowly walked into a huge freight yard and then stopped. The man signaled Lao Song to call Shengxuan to rest beside him, and then walked straight to a hut in the freight yard. The guards were strictly guarded, Sheng Xuan originally wanted to inquire, but Lao Song had such a tight and ruthless manner that he stopped asking for trouble, and the two of them just waited quietly for a long time before the man came back, yes Looking at Lao Song, he said, "The goods have already been delivered. You go and deal with our goods. Except for the part sold here, the rest will be taken to Qingqiu. This time, the [-] bolts of silk should be sold at a good price." After hearing the order, Lao Song immediately got up and went out to do errands. The man looked at Shengxuan, "Now you know why I am so interested in you. If I buy these [-] bolts of silk directly from Nanming and then sell them to Qingqiu, I believe the profit It will be more than doubled."

This is really a big deal. This is probably one-tenth of Nanming's annual silk production. I believe no one would like to control such a huge profit in the hands of others, but Shengxuan still has some doubts, so he couldn't help asking directly, "Brother's business is so big." Juju believes that many people are willing to go to Nanming to do business for you, but why did you tell me this? We just met." The man laughed, "Brother Shengxuan, don't be too modest, in fact, you came in first At first glance, I think you are like a person, I believe that there is no one in Nanming who can compare with you, not everyone can do this palace assassination."

This sentence immediately shocked Sheng Xuan into a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but quietly touched the ring, ready to pull out Gui Xiao's hand at any time, the man hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Sheng Xuan, don't worry, I, Helian Zan, are not the kind of betrayal Brother money-making villain, you can rest assured. In fact, I have seen your sea arrest document in Sanmiao a few days ago, so I paid special attention to you just now in the restaurant. I didn’t expect to kill more than a dozen wizards at once. Generous."

Shengxuan's heart is completely cold, he doesn't know anything about the other party, but the other party knows so many things about him, but what can he say now, maybe it's a good choice to listen silently, Helian Zan sees He glanced at him and said, "Brother Shengxuan, let me tell you the truth. Ever since I heard about you, I have been very interested in you. Now Nanming has a Tianyi sect who has robbed many state offices under your banner. Originally, I thought you were in Nanming, but I never thought that I would meet you here by such a coincidence. I don’t know if the sect was created by brothers that day? If it was really founded by you, I want to have your sect as the backing, I believe our business will be done, I wonder if you are interested."

Shengxuan thought for a long time. In fact, he has always wanted to find such a person to develop his Qin Gang, but now that it is really in front of him, he can't help but be careless, because he knows too little about the other party. It's like gambling with one's life, and the bet is not only his own life but the lives of all sects, if one is not careful, the sect may be in danger of being wiped out.

But this kind of opportunity is too tempting, at last Sheng Xuan gritted his teeth and nodded, "He Lian," He Lian Zan waved his hand, "Just call me Big Brother He, everyone around me calls it that." Sheng Xuan followed suit "Brother He, what you said is indeed very attractive to me, but Nanming is separated from here by Sanmiao and Jingman. Even if I want to do this business, it may not be so easy." "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you can be there Organize the source of goods, other things are not a problem, you can rest assured that I will not let you decide so quickly, at least you need to understand my business first, let's go and see the goods."

The hundred carts of goods were not all for the family, but twenty carts were left in the warehouse. When He Lianzan led Sheng Xuan into a warehouse, he saw a group of people busy dismantling the boxes. Lao Song was standing by the side directing, and when he saw them coming, he rushed over, "Boss, the goods have been sorted out according to your order. This time, there are five carts of wine vessels from Qingqiu, and three carts,,,," Helian Zan said. He waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me one by one, as long as you know it yourself, take me to see the long knife customized by Sanmiao. These are big deals, and you must keep them secret, and don't let outsiders know." Song hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry, all the people working here are our own people, and there is no outsider. I also ordered my brothers to guard this warehouse tightly. I believe that no news will leak out." He Lianzan nodded, "Then eight One hundred war horses must also be taken care of, and the loss of one will affect the reputation of our chamber of commerce. This is the first time we have done business with Sanmiao, and we must not let people tell us that we are not here."

Cheng Xuan couldn't help but feel moved when such a confidential matter was revealed in front of his face. It seemed that Helian Zan really didn't regard himself as an outsider, but after thinking about it, the relationship between himself and Sanmiao was in dire straits. It doesn't matter if you let yourself know.

At the same time, I also admire Helian Zan's scheming, eight of the sixteen horses that pull the cart are horses sold to Sanmiao, and when they go back, because the goods they pull are light, they lose a few horse-drawn carts, This can reduce the cost, and naturally no one will doubt it, and the war horse has turned around and entered Sanmiao without anyone noticing.

Helianzan led Shengxuan to the side, and saw several small boxes placed here, someone was carrying these boxes from the big box, and put them neatly together, Helianzan ordered someone to open one box, I saw long knives made of fine iron neatly stacked inside, and I took out one and waved it in front of me twice, and then asked Sheng Xuan, "What do you think, Brother Cheng Xuan?" Cheng Xuan has already seen that the long knife he said is exactly that Riri saw the curved sword used by the Gu people around Caier, this kind of sword has a long and narrow body with sharp edge, and is extremely flexible, so he couldn't help but take one and fold it casually, it made him bend into a semicircle, and let go of the long sword It bounced back to its original shape with a bang, and then he slashed at the box again, only to hear a soft hiss, and a corner of the wooden box fell neatly. It is a good sword, this kind of long sword Nanming can never forge."

There are twenty boxes, and each box contains two hundred swords. This is four thousand long knives. Of course, it is far from enough to equip the entire army, but equipping an elite force of 4000 people may more than double the combat power.

Helian Zan smiled slightly, "Now you know what kind of business I am in."

Since the other party didn't hide anything from Sheng Xuan, of course he wasn't hiding his clumsiness, "Since Big Brother He believes in me so much, then let me tell the truth. I have two schools and two factions under my subordinates. Today, one school is full of green forest heroes, and the two factions are divided into beggars and beggars." Gang and Qin Gang, Beggar Gang is responsible for news, Qin Gang is responsible for all kinds of business, as for your business, I am more interested, if I have weapons and equipment like yours now, I believe my Tianyi Sect will grow a lot. "

He Lianzan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at the teenage boy carefully. He originally knew something about the Shengxuan sect, but he didn't know the specifics. He was surprised when he heard what Shengxuan said. , I never thought that such a child would be so thoughtful. Dividing a sect into three forces, and each responsible for different aspects, this is probably not a simple sect. Could it be that he is thinking...,,,,, he dare not think, With my own strength, I have never thought of something, but the child in front of me is already planning, but then I think about a person who dared to enter the palace alone and successfully assassinated the emperor, how can ordinary people understand?Immediately said solemnly, "Brother Shengxuan, I originally planned to annex your sect and let you do things for me, but now it seems that I am infatuated and greedy. Since you have such ambitions, why don't we become brothers? My sect can help me with my business, and my chamber of commerce can also help you, so that we will be able to create great things if we join forces." Speaking firmly, Sheng Xuan stretched out his hand and tightly covered it. the opponent's hand.

In this seemingly calm Lone Bamboo, in fact, various forces are undercurrents. Helianzan's chamber of commerce has long caused dissatisfaction among many people. The Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce was against them, so they secretly sent people to pretend to be robbers to rob. This time, they were targeted by these forces, so they were chased and killed all the way. Send the Silver Armored Army escort, of course, this escort is also expensive.

In this troubled world, only heroes have unique insight and can seize the fleeting opportunity to create a great event. Of course, this must be based on strength and courage. When two courageous people meet together , will definitely collide with dazzling light.

The two of them returned to the inn. That night, the two of them had a feeling of hating each other, and they were both attracted by the unique temperament of the other. His bold personality makes him more willing to stay with those warriors, not to mention that he is also a good master. Although it is inevitable to contact some dignitaries in business, but because of his strong financial resources and the terrifying strength of the private army of the Chilong Chamber of Commerce, Many people would rather put up with his rough personality, but in reality this person is as careful as a hair, otherwise, how could it be possible to make a Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce the boss of Guzhu in just over ten years?Although Shengxuan is not very old, he has a shocking courage, as if there is nothing in the world that he dare not do, and his spiritual insight into the situation and his ability to seize opportunities deeply impressed He Lianzan. At this time, he already possessed a unique leadership temperament. In time, I am afraid that the little Nanming will not be able to support this giant dragon, but after all, he is still too young, so the most important thing for him now is to study and wait for it. The timing, judging from the undercurrents that have gradually risen under the seemingly peaceful relationship between the seven countries now, I believe there will be a big chaos in a few years.

Hearing He Lianzan's praise, Shengxuan just responded with a noncommittal smile. In fact, only he himself knows what's going on with him. He accomplished what he thought he should do at the right time, and the world added a mysterious aura to him, making his affairs so legendary, but his current attitude that made Helian Zan feel calm is even more He admired him, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Such a young man is so neither arrogant nor impetuous. I'm afraid such a person can only be described as a genius." It can be seen that although He Lianzan's hands and eyes are as good as the sky, what he sees and hears is still inseparable from the rumors in the market. , not to mention that he would never have thought that Sheng Xuan had some memories of his previous life.

The two chatted for nearly a night, and did not take a nap for a while until the early morning, and then got up and went to the warehouse to deliver goods. This time, Sanmiao sent a team to come, but they were all dressed as merchants. A few wizards mixed in, Sheng Xuan had been with Cai Er for many days, so he could tell the clues at a glance, he was afraid that those people would recognize his appearance, so he secretly hid behind Helian Zan and his followers.

This transaction was very successful. The long sword brought by Helianzan opened the eyes of these Sanmiao warriors. After all, it was made by Qingqiu's skillful craftsman. Compared with it, Sanmiao's long sword is completely different, so Sanmiao led the team So he formally signed a long-term contract with Helianzan, which means that the Chilong Chamber of Commerce has now established a relationship with the Sanmiao royal family, and Shengxuan finally knows what he said at the beginning, as long as he can organize the transportation of goods Do not question the meaning behind the words.

Everything is over, He Lianzan ordered Lao Song to entertain the three seedlings, and he took Shengxuan to go ahead. Last night, they had decided to send Shengxuan to the most famous Carlin Academy in Guzhu, through the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Shengxuan can concentrate on studying there for a few years, while He Lianzan will get in touch with Tianyimen as soon as possible, connect Qin Gang's business with Chilong Chamber of Commerce, and then spread this business across the seven countries.

Driving all the way west from Yunshan City, the speed of the carriage may be more than three hundred miles a day, and after walking for nearly ten days, the group finally arrived at the capital of Lone Bamboo——Karin.

From a distance, you can see a majestic city located in a valley, like a huge silver ring covering the entire valley. When you get closer, you can see that the city is built on the mountain, with steep peaks on three sides and just right On the other side is a big river. The city with a radius of hundreds of miles is completely built with a kind of white stone. From a distance, it looks like a halo. Shengxuan has been deeply shocked by it. When you get closer, you can hear rumbling The sound of the water, because it is a mountainous area, the water flow is fast. A large river with a width of more than one hundred feet is rushing, and its momentum is really like a galloping horse. Three stone bridges are built on the river, and a tall fortress is erected at the head of the bridge. It is believed that no army can break through such a strong city.

It wasn't until standing at the foot of the city wall that Shengxuan realized how huge it was. The city wall was over twenty feet high, eighteen feet wide at the bottom, and twelve feet wide at the top. I'm afraid it wouldn't feel crowded if several carriages walked side by side on the city wall. The carriages drove fast. Passing through the city gate, a miraculous city is finally exposed in front of you.

The whole city goes up in steps, and a [-]-foot-wide road leads directly to the palace, but each step has a huge stone gate, which divides the city into several parts and makes the palace on the top of the mountain even more majestic. And there are several layers of protection, as if the entire Karin is its outer city.

The buildings in the whole city are full of exotic styles, and Shengxuan was dazzled by the sight. After Helian Zan led him through two stone gates, he turned right and came directly to the residence of the Chilong Chamber of Commerce. , the entire city was divided into various functional areas by rules. The location of the Chilong Chamber of Commerce is the commercial center. Because the city is too huge, there are carriages in the city that are responsible for transportation. As long as you are willing to pay, the carriage can take you to the city. anywhere in the city.

The carriage finally stopped at the intersection of the street. While introducing the city, Helian Zan led him to a tower on foot. The population of the entire city was several million, and the nobles generally gathered on the upper two floors near the imperial palace. Most of the people near the gate are poor people, so this city is also divided according to the level of people, and the country of Lone Bamboo also implements a strict hierarchy, no commoner can violate the power of the nobles, even if you are a rich commoner, and the other party He is a run-down nobleman, and you have to give way to the nobleman when you walk across.

Here, like Nanming, the citizens have no special beliefs. Any form of church will be considered an infringement of the royal power, so the people can only believe in the royal power, which makes his rule highly centralized. However, unlike Nanming, there is a Presbyterian Church here. , the elders will limit a certain amount of royal power, so even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

In fact, what I see now is only the main city of Kalin. There are two tooth cities hidden in the mountains on both sides, each of which is a large city with a radius of tens of miles. The tooth city on the left is called Yuwei because of its shape It looks like wings, and there are [-] imperial city guards stationed inside. The one on the right is the Carlin Academy. Usually people call it the academy, and the academy mainly teaches fighting skills and magic, so it has become another security guarantee for the imperial city. Shengxuan couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this. Such a strong Kalin City and the guards of the left and right Yacheng may really only be described as impenetrable.

After recovering from a series of shocks, Shengxuan was in the mood to take a look at the residence of the Chilong Chamber of Commerce. From the outside, he felt a tall tower building, but after entering, he found that it was extremely crowded, not because it was not big enough but because there were too many people. Everywhere was crowded with people, even in the aisle, there were people holding papers and counting continuously. When they saw Helian Zan coming in, everyone saluted him respectfully and kept shouting, "Boss He is doing this!" Boss He." At this time, He Lianzan had lost his smile, and replaced it with a sad face, and he spread his hands helplessly at Sheng Xuan, "I knew it would be like this when I came back, this is just leaving A lot of things have piled up in a few days. It seems that I can't accompany you. You can go around Karin City by yourself. If you get lost in the city, you can come back by a carriage. Remember to come back before six o'clock. I'll hold a reception for you and introduce everyone." As he spoke, he casually threw him a money bag, and when Sheng Xuan opened it, his saliva dripped all over the floor, and there was actually a whole hundred gold coins in it.

"Six o'clock?" Shengxuan was a little confused, they used the hour to calculate the time in Nanming, but what exactly does six o'clock mean?He Lianzan smiled slightly, "Six o'clock is the sunset, which is what you Nan Ming said about the second quarter of Shen Shi." Then Cheng Xuan suddenly realized that he had seen it in a book before, but he didn't care at all when he was young. Only then did I know that was the case.

Walking out of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce happily with a purse, Shengxuan planned to buy some practical things, and walked along the street. Helian said that this place should be a commercial center, but he didn't see a few shops. On the contrary, the buildings are full of people coming in and out. When they came to the center of the business district, there stood a huge building. After asking people nearby, they found out that this place turned out to be a trading place, but the door was closed. Seeing the buying and selling crowd made him even more curious.

Finally at sunset, Shengxuan returned to the Chilong Chamber of Commerce with a full stomach of questions. At this time, all the people in the Chamber of Commerce building had left, leaving only He Lian and some high-level members of the Chamber of Commerce. At this time, in the hall on the top floor A sumptuous banquet has been set up, and everyone is waiting for him.

Seeing Shengxuan came back, Helian hurriedly took him to a seat, and formally introduced to everyone, "This is my good brother Ye Shengxuan." Shengxuan hurriedly got up and cupped his hands, and everyone also stood up to return the salute, Helian laughed loudly, "It's all from my family." Brother, why are you so polite, let's all sit down and talk." Everyone sat back one after another.

He Lian began to introduce one by one, "Old Song, you have met, he is my foreign affairs manager, our name is Deacon, this is Wang Lianjiang, this is Li Qinghe, this is Du Yonglu, and Zhao Qingbo, Wu Suiyou, Zhang Huicheng, They are the directors of various local branches, and I will introduce you to Duhe, the chief manager. All my property and property are in his hands." Hearing this, the old man hurriedly stood up with a panicked expression, "Boss Thanks to the boss for letting me do some things in the meeting, I rely on the help of all the brothers to barely support me." Old He laughed, "You old man is usually so humble, why are you so nervous when no one grabs your job? "

Next, Lao He introduced a lot of specific people who did things in one breath. These people are all important positions in various places in the chamber of commerce. Landing on one person, he thought for a while before saying, "This is the commander of my private army, Helian Baler, and my life-and-death brother." It's okay." Sitting there without even raising his eyelids, Chengxuan suddenly felt strange, how could this person be so arrogant?Lao He was at the side but hurriedly said, "He is cold-faced and warm-hearted, you will know after a long time, well, now my brothers have introduced them, let's have a drink together, come." He held up the wine Everyone also got up one after another and drank a bowl of wine happily, and the lively banquet officially began.

During the banquet, Shengxuan filled a glass of wine for everyone and talked briefly, but when he arrived at Ba Le's place, Ba Le grabbed the wine jar and filled a glass himself. Before Sheng Xuan could say anything, he had already swallowed a bowl of wine, Immediately, Sheng Xuan swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Lao He saw this scene clearly, so he walked over to Sheng Xuan and said, "Do you still remember what Lao Song said when I first met you?" Sheng Xuan suddenly remembered that Lao Song said that the convoy of the Chamber of Commerce was hunted down He couldn't help but nodded, and Lao He sighed, "On that time, most of the brothers who were born and died together with Ba Le lost more than half, and this saved the goods of the Chamber of Commerce, so he was sad about this matter." Only then did Sheng Xuan understand that it was the reason. , but Baler's straightforward character was immediately revealed, which made him fall in love with him from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Ba Le couldn't help pouring down another bowl of wine, then crushed the bowl severely, and said "excuse me." Then he got up and left the table and walked downstairs. I saw that I was still eating, drinking and talking.
