Ta-ta!
Ta-ta!
Amid the sound of horse hooves, a rather large team mixed in with the crowd and arrived at the edge of a dark red, ancient city in an orderly manner.
The city wall is seven to eight feet high and is made up of reddish stones. The surface is engraved with invisible but actual runes.
Jiang Yan, who was wearing a clean green shirt and carrying a purple sword on his back, opened the curtain in front of the carriage, jumped down, and stepped onto the ground of Lieyun City.
He first looked at the thick city wall in front of him without much reaction, then looked around and fixed his gaze on the city entrance.
There, a dozen people dressed as government officials were shouting, cursing, and even beating a group of people with whips, trying to drive these people away from Lieyun City.
They were a group of people whose clothes were patched, their hair was messy and greasy, and their faces were so dirty that their hands were so dirty that it was hard to see their true colors.
They are all as thin as bamboo poles.
"Go away, go away, don't come here."
Amidst the curses of the government officials, the group of people didn't resist much. They silently turned around and walked in the other direction little by little.
"The drought in the Lieyun area is very serious. There are already refugees coming to the county to seek livelihood."
Mu Yingxue sighed, pinched the money bag at her waist, and without hesitation, chased after the group of people.
"This guy……"
Noticing the woman's movements, Jiang Yan shook his head and sighed expressionlessly.
…
…
After entering Lieyun City, Qingmutang found his partner with ease and completed the transaction without much effort.
As the hosts, the collaborators also generously booked an inn for everyone from the Baihe Chamber of Commerce and prepared a reception banquet.
"So easy?
“I mean, are our Chamber of Commerce’s items so profitable?”
After having had enough wine and food, Jiang Yan lay on the soft and warm bed. He stared blankly at the beams above his head for a few seconds, and then whispered a few words, which sounded like a question, but also like talking to himself.
"It's definitely making money."
In another corner of the room, Zhao Yuanba crossed his legs and straightened his back:
"You also know that our goods this time are medicinal materials. Who doesn't need these things? Whether they are warriors or ordinary people, they all use them, so someone must buy them.
"So, as long as we can get these goods over and find a powerful chamber of commerce to take over, we can make money. If not, we can sell them ourselves, but in this case, it will take a long time..."
"That's it..." Jiang Yan blinked with a thoughtful look on his face, his eyes lit up as he thought about it.
"hehe."
Zhao Yuanba seemed to have guessed Jiang Yan's thoughts and sneered:
"Do you think it's okay for you to resell medicinal materials? Since others can make money, you can do it too?"
"Isn't it?" Jiang Yan frowned.
"Of course." Zhao Yuanba looked at Jiang Yan with concern as he looked at a "bumpkin", raised his chin, and began to explain some common sense:
"In the Nan Yanzhou Territory, there are many easy ways to make money, but they do not belong to ordinary forces, but are controlled by those big forces. These channels can only be operated by them, and they can also fight for them. Once ordinary forces are contaminated, It’s a catastrophe.”
Monopoly, I understand... Jiang Yan nodded and said immediately:
"According to you, our Chamber of Commerce can have these ways to make a lot of money, is it considered a big influence?"
"Not a big force, but I am already qualified to master some things." Zhao Yuanba, who has many friends in Nanyan City and knows more little secrets than others, continued to reveal some "knowledge":
"You know, our leader is a half-step master. Although this level is not the top level in Nanyan City, it can make people take it seriously."
After saying this, Zhao Yuanba lost the desire to continue communicating. He stretched his legs, stood up, and walked towards the door of the house.
"It's so late, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"I am weak." Zhao Yuanba opened the door, half-turned his head, and said with a serious expression:
"I can't sleep on a cold bed, so I have to find someone to warm me."
Lao Sepi, I want to go to the brothel again... Before Jiang Yan could curse, he saw the door slowly closing, and the sound of footsteps sounded and gradually faded away.
…
…
The room became quiet again, but Jiang Yan was not sleepy at all, and was planning what he would mainly do in the future.
"...We must get the Talisman Realm Cultivation Method from the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible."
He has been promoted to the Golden Core Realm for a long time. After returning from Lieyun City, the special batch of "goods" from the Arc Light Chamber of Commerce should have arrived. By then, there will be no shortage of weird points, but the only thing missing is the skills.
“It’s so serious about doing tasks, and it’s so slow to accumulate contributions... The Chamber of Commerce has mobilized a few of us, is it really just giving away contribution points, rather than having other arrangements?”
Recalling the discussion between the three of them on mobilizing Baihetang warriors to join the escort mission before departure, Jiang Yan couldn't help but become suspicious.
Although the road was not peaceful, it was not very dangerous. Not to mention that Chu Pingqing had never taken action. Even he had only killed a few lurking monsters during night patrols.
There is nothing unusual at all, and there are very few dangers!
"That's all, it's best if you have other arrangements. If not, just think of it as a way to gain more knowledge. When we return to Nanyan City, we can look for more opportunities. We can't give all our hopes to the White Crane Chamber of Commerce..."
Thinking like this, Jiang Yan yawned, pulled up the quilt with one hand, covered his head, and prepared to rest.
At this time, the familiar footsteps sounded again outside the house, gradually getting heavier, from far to near.
Amidst the clang, Zhao Yuanba appeared at the door with a depressed look on his face.
"What's wrong? Not enough money?
"Is it over yet?"
Jiang Yan stuck his head out and asked with concern.
"What? I haven't had time to go?" Zhao Yuanba stood at the door with no intention of coming in:
"Get up, I can't sleep anymore. I just met someone from Qingmu Hall at the door of the inn. They said that Hall Master Chu had given us a secret order to let us pass."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the sleepiness that Jiang Yan had just brewed immediately dissipated, and his eyes narrowed.
"Remember to go to the top floor."
Zhao Yuanba warned, left here, and went to inform Miao Xiaohong.
…
…
Half an hour later.
After packing, the three of them arrived at Chu Pingqing's room on the top floor of the inn.
After a brief salute, Jiang Yan casually found a seat at the back and sat down. After looking around, he found that they had arrived late. Most of the people in this team who had martial arts realms above Shidan had arrived.
"Everyone..."
Chu Pingqing, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly glanced at everyone present:
"I informed you to come here tonight because of other tasks."
Here we come... Many people present looked calm. They were not stupid. They could naturally tell that during this trip to Lieyun City, there were too many experts with high grades. Not only did Aoki Hall send double We even specially invited ten people from Baihe Hall.
Therefore, most people know that this escort mission is just ancillary, and there are more important things that they need to do.
Now, it's here.
