Bai Quan couldn't help but smile. He couldn't help but glance at the carriage next to him and said, "It's really good. I don't want to sit with a woman either."
After saying that, he and Yizhou walked straight towards the carriage.
Xiaojiang's forehead and hair were black, "Girl, please..."
"Let him sit with you."
After saying that, Liu Shengsheng sat on the carriage.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiang did not dare to say anything and could only get back on the carriage.
Only this time, he sat in the carriage.
Also sitting in the car was Bai Quan.
I saw Bai Quan saying proudly: "I never thought that the dignified Cang King would actually have wishful thinking one day."
Nan Muze glared at him, "Get out."
Bai Quan sneered, "Why?"
Xiao Jiang said seriously: "My dear prince, we have prepared the carriage. Why don't you sit outside?"
Seeing the cold expressions of these two people, Bai Quan felt very unhappy, "It's funny, I don't want to sit with you yet."
After saying that, he also sat outside the carriage.
This time it was Yizhou's turn to look ugly.
"Why are you sitting next to me?"
Bai Quan: "..."
Yizhou exhaled, "Forget it, we're almost there anyway."
Bai Quan: "??"
Is he so disgusting?
Look inside the carriage again.
Xiao Jiang's back was straight. He didn't dare to look at Nan Muze next to him, and he didn't even dare to breathe too quickly.
I really hope the prince can ignore his existence.
If that doesn't work, he is willing to sit outside...
"..."
The carriage in front had turned around, and Lai Yi outside the carriage had been staring blankly at Liu Shengsheng's face.
Liu Shengsheng felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, "It's still a bit cold recently. Do you want to put on the clothes inside the carriage?"
Lai Yi nodded, returned to the carriage, picked up a piece of clothing, put it on and sat next to Liu Shengsheng.
"The girl is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful woman."
Liu Shengsheng smiled, "Beautiful people are everywhere."
"Where? I rarely go out of the Lin Clan. At most, I have been to Dongcheng of Fengqing Kingdom. It is a big place and there are many handsome men and beauties, but I have never been as beautiful as you. And the young men around the girl are also very handsome. ..."
After a pause, Lai Yi added, "Why do you want to go to the Lin Clan, girl?"
Liu Shengsheng said: "I heard that your place is rich in fine wine, and many restaurants get their wine from you, so I also want to get some goods from you to do business."
Lai Yi nodded, "That's right. Few businessmen have come recently..."
"Is it because everyone is sick? The plague has been rampant everywhere in the past half year. Has your place been affected?"
"Of course there are. There were originally three to four thousand people in our clan, but after the plague, there were only more than 2,700 people left in just a few months. Most of the people are still bedridden. I wonder how many people will be left after the plague."
Having said this, Lai Yi sighed again, "Some time ago, I heard people say that the plague is poison and has been cured. Unfortunately, the people are superstitious. Everyone thinks it is retribution from God, so no one believes that the plague is a poison. poison……"
"Although everyone doesn't believe it, I still believe it. After all, I'm not superstitious, and I don't want to go back to such a superstitious place at all."
Having said this, Lai Yi pointed to the path ahead and said, "Go through here."
Looking at the overgrown road ahead, Liu Shengsheng frowned, "Can I pass here?"
Lai Yi nodded, "Sure, these weeds were put there by the tribe, and someone will take care of them every once in a while. When strangers pass by here, they won't think that this is a road."
It's so hidden, no wonder they didn't notice it just now.
After entering the trail
, Liu Shengsheng then asked: "Why do you believe things that no one else believes in?"
Lai Yi said: "Because I have an elder brother who works in Fengqing Country. Not long ago, he sent me a letter saying that the plague was a poison and that it was cured by a man named Divine Doctor Liu. He also said that the plague was cured by a man named Divine Doctor Liu. The Bodhisattva has a kind heart and looks like a fairy. He worked day and night to prepare antidotes for them and saved the whole city's patients in a few days. It is particularly great."
"So you went out this time to find your brother?"
Lai Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My brother is working in Licheng, not in Dongcheng."
"That's it..."
"Yes, because he is good at making weapons, he also got to know many soldiers from Li Cheng. I heard that one day, Li Cheng and the people from Yundu fought. My brother is always upright and upright. I don’t know what he was thinking, but he insisted on going to the battlefield with his good brothers to help, and then, he..."
Speaking of this, Lai Yi's eyes flashed with tears, "Is he stupid? He was in Li City, and he rushed out to fight with others. He didn't even think that Li Cheng was full of people from Yundu. It was obvious that he was going there. Go to death."
Seeing that Liu Shengsheng remained silent, she smiled and said, "Don't mention these unhappy things. Girl, I don't know if you want to believe me, but the Lin clan is really not suitable for women. If you really want to do business, you can Let your friends go in, but too many of us in the Lin clan are poisoned, so we probably won’t be able to provide you with goods for a long time..."
"Why do you say it's not convenient for women to enter?"
Lai Yi sighed and said nothing.
Liu Shengsheng added, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it."
"It doesn't matter what you say, our Lin clan won't be able to hold on for a few more years anyway."
Lai Yi said melancholy: "Back then, our Lin clan was so prosperous, with business spread all over the world, and businessmen from countries large and small came to buy goods from us."
"A few years ago, there were four to five thousand tribesmen, and all of them were capable people. Not only could they make all kinds of food and wine, but they also cooperated with businessmen from each country and spent several years digging for He built several tunnels just to be able to quietly transport goods to all corners of the country. His business was so huge that no one could rival him, and every household was filled with gold and silver treasures."
"Ten years ago, there were still less than 10,000 people in the tribe. Now I really don't know why it has fallen like this. There are less than 3,000 people. It's really sad."
Liu Shengsheng's attention instantly focused on the tunnel.
But she didn't show any surprise, she just said calmly: "What kind of tunnel is this?"
Lai Yi smiled, "It's just an ordinary tunnel. After leaving the Lin Clan, we dug a very long tunnel in a forest near the east city wall. My father was one of the tunnel diggers back then. I heard from my father that each tunnel took many years to dig..."
"You also know that transporting goods from the outside into the border city requires paying various fees. And our Lin clan has a large shipment volume. The accumulation over the years is a big sum. It is just to save money, so we dug it. There are many tunnels like this, and there are many tunnels like this. Otherwise, if you said that the two countries are still at war, how could I receive the letter from my brother?"
Liu Shengsheng was extremely shocked, "Do such tunnels exist in other countries?"
"Yes, there are countries that cooperate with us."
After Lai Yi finished speaking, he covered his mouth again, "Am I too loud?"
Liu Shengsheng just smiled and said, "No."
She was shocked throughout the rest of the journey. .c
Although she didn't quite understand what Lai Yi's "various fees" meant, she could guess with a little guessing that it should be something similar to tariffs...
So they dug tunnels just to avoid taxes?
I didn’t expect that there are so many twists and turns in this world.
I don’t know if the “poison” thing is related to those tunnels.
Then I heard Lai Yi say: "Is this your first time doing business with our Lin clan?"
Seeing Liu Shengsheng nodding, Lai Yi continued: "No wonder, anyone who has been here will know the existence of the tunnel."
