Zhao Xuanyi smiled bitterly after hearing this
"I would like to do it, but I am trapped in the military camp every day and have no time to do anything! So I can only stop. Who doesn't want to make money if you have money?" After hearing this, Sun Qian smiled slightly.
"Sun Qian thought simply. She forgot that Mr. Zhao is now a general. He must be busy with endless things every day!"
"It's okay!" Before Zhao Xuanyi and Sun Qian could chat for a few words, they heard a burst of laughter outside. Then Sun Ning walked into the hall. When he saw Zhao Xuanyi, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Master Zhao, you are here!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up in a hurry
"My lord, long time no see. How are you?"
"TOEFL, everything is fine! Sit down!" Sun Ning greeted warmly, and then looked at the people in the hall.
"Miss, didn't you come over to play?"
"Ah, I came here alone this time to do some errands, but she didn't come with me! I thought I would come to your land, rest for a night, and catch up with you!"
"Young Master Zhao thinks highly of me. I didn't say anything. Come and prepare a banquet immediately to help Mr. Zhao wash away his troubles!"
"Yes!" After the banquet was set down, Zhao Xuanyi, Sun Ning and others exchanged glasses and chatted happily.
"Mr. Zhao, if you haven't come, I would like to visit the capital for a while. The hairpins you sent before are so popular. Now many people still ask me, when will the stock be replenished? You are here just in time. I just want to ask, why do we need to restock?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled.
"Now that the sample is in the hands of the eldest young master, can't you just imitate it?"
"Hey, I thought about it too, but after doing it several times, it turned out to be ugly, shapeless, and soulless, so I gave up in the end!" Zhao Xuanyi laughed.
"Mr. Song, it just so happens that our conversation has ended here. How about we do a business deal?"
"Oh? What do you think Mr. Zhao has to say?" When doing business, Sun Ning's eyes shone with shrewdness.
"As for me, you also know now that I am busy with things in the military camp every day, so I have no time to make money. Why not, I will give you the production drawings of these hairpins. After you get the drawings, hire some masters to make them. I guarantee they can make it!" Sun Ning was very happy when he heard this and asked hurriedly
"How much does this drawing cost?"
"Young Master, are you joking? We are a family, how can I charge you money? But don't thank me. The drawings are given to you for free, but the hairpin or hairpin you made, how much do you sell it for? What do you think about your ability, and if you sell one, I charge five taels of silver?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
When Sun Ning heard this, he thought to himself, isn't this pie in the sky? A hairpin can be sold for forty to fifty taels. They give you the drawings for free and only charge you five taels of silver each. Where can you find such a good thing?
Make an immediate decision and the business is done.
"Master Zhao, aren't you afraid that I will lie about the quantity and squeeze your money?" Sun Ning asked with a smile. Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and laughed
"The eldest son's family has a great business, but he still wants to deduct this small amount of silver from me?" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, even if I had ten more courages from you, you wouldn't want to give up your father's life?
"And I will send at least one or two new drawings every month from now on. You can make new models every month. After selling, the price I charge will still be the same. What do you think?" Sun Ning nodded. As fast as a chicken pecking at rice, Zhao Xuanyi naturally agreed with a smile on his face and raised his wine.
"Eldest Young Master, let's make a deal first. This money is my own private money. Don't let my wife know about it. I will send someone to collect it every quarter from now on. You can just hand it over to him when the time comes!"
"Okay, just listen to Mr. Zhao and hope our business will get better and better!" Sun Ning raised his wine glass, Zhao Xuanyi also raised his wine glass, and they drank happily.
Zhao Xuanyi stayed at Sun Ning's house for one night and left Sun's house the next day. After all, he was still busy. Sun Qian looked at Zhao Xuanyi reluctantly, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Mr. Zhao, you must come here more often in the future!"
"Uh... ok!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, I thought, my wife won't let me! The agreed place was still one day away from the Sun family. The Sun family brought a lot of food and fruits and put them on the carriage. Zhao Xuanyi and the others had no shortage of food along the way, so the three of them drove on.
Another day passed, just after noon, Zhao Xuanyi and the others arrived at the pick-up location given by Zhu Yuejun, Lanling County, Shandong Province. The three of them entered the county by car and found that the county was very prosperous!
Although it can't compare with the capital city, it's almost the same! There is an endless stream of pedestrians and traffic on the street, and there are countless hawkers on both sides of the street buying and selling. Seeing such excitement, I guess this county is not very poor, at least the people's lives are decent!
Tang Tianli saw a pancake seller on the street, jumped off the carriage, bought a few pancakes and then came back. He gave one to Shen Wei and Zhao Xuanyi each. Zhao Xuanyi took it over and looked at it. It was made of pure corn flour and wrapped in a pancake. A Shandong green onion and some sauce!
One bite, very satisfying! The sweetness of the corn, the spiciness of the green onions, and the taste of the sauce are very delicious.
"Don't tell me, it would be great if you could eat this during a war!" Tang Tianli said with a smile.
"It's disgusting! This pancake is okay, but the sauce and green onions are hard to preserve!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself. He could dehydrate the green onions and preserve them, but he couldn't eat them like this after soaking them in water on the battlefield!
What a pity! Several people walked around Lanling County and looked at the local customs and the lives of the people. When they were looking at it, a young man suddenly came out and stopped the carriage.
Shen Wei stopped the carriage and looked at the man
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my carriage?" The man smiled slightly.
"I am Xiao Ming, the waning moon, here to meet Mr. Zhao!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi asked, "Isn't it the Moon Guard?" Why did you create a waning moon?
"How did you know it was my carriage?" Zhao Xuanyi asked while sitting in the car.
"I have received the message from the capital a long time ago. I have been waiting for five days. And in the entire Moon Guard, is there anyone who doesn't recognize you, General Zhao?" Xiao Ming looked around after speaking.
"Sir, this is not the place to talk. Let's change places and chat slowly. You come with me!" After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he turned and walked into the alley aside. Shen Wei followed behind with his carriage. As for Yue Wei and the others, they could I completely believe it, after all, they are the eldest princess’s people, and they have to rely on them to find the Celestial Immortal Sect!
Several people walked into a house. Zhao Xuanyi got out of the car and took a look. This was an ordinary house with a single door and a courtyard. There was nothing special. There were wells and millstones in the yard. There were two rooms in the front and there were no other buildings. What valuables!
"Sir, this is our temporary residence. Of course, it is not as luxurious as your Piaoyun Pavilion!" Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand
"I don't care, as long as I can sleep, your name is Xiao Ming?"
"It's a small one!"
"How long have you been tracking this Celestial Cult?"
"About... about half a year ago. This organization was only established two years ago, but it is extremely powerful. According to incomplete statistics, it is estimated that there are four thousand members!" Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised when he heard this.
"This Celestial Sect is great! It took me a long time to get thousands of soldiers. This is faster than recruiting soldiers!" Xiao Ming nodded.
"Who says it's not the case? I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup they fed these people, but they just believe in this organization!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, it will be easier now that I'm here!"
"Yes, yes, General Zhao's reputation is unknown to everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Who doesn't know it?" Xiao Ming said with a smile.
When Zhao Xuanyi heard Xiao Ming's words, he smiled happily.
"The boy is very good at talking!"
"Master Zhao, praise me!"
"Where is the Celestial Sect's casino? Is it far from here?" Zhao Xuanyi asked again.
"Not far away, if you walk three hundred meters along Chengdong Street, you can see Sihai Gambling House, which is the largest casino in Lanling County!" Xiao Ming didn't hide anything, he told everything.
"Hey, I want to ask you something, how many people did you send to the Tianxian Sect in total? I heard that this organization is very mysterious! Usually you can't get in!" Xiao Ming nodded.
"Yes! The younger one also tried his best to send the two brothers in, but for some reason, there was no news after they entered!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded and said with a smile on his face.
"Do it!" [Pfft! 】Shen Wei's sharp knife stabbed into Xiao Ming's stomach instantly, and the shining blade directly pierced Xiao Ming's body. Xiao Ming lowered his head and looked at himself, and then looked at Zhao Xuanyi with horrified eyes.
"Why...?" [Pfft...! 】A mouthful of blood spurted out, then his eyes rolled up, and he died! Shen Wei pulled out his sword, wiped the blood on Xiao Ming's body, and then searched Xiao Ming's body carefully!
Tang Tianli was a little confused and came to Zhao Xuanyi's side.
"Sir, what do you mean? He is the Moon Guard! Why did you kill him?"
"Hmph! After such a long time, he was sent to the Tianxian Cult for a few months to guard, but those people were all dead. Let's just assume that those Moon Guards were caught and must have been tortured. Why is he still safe and sound? This person cannot be trusted. ! You can’t live here either!” Zhao Xuanyi looked around the yard and said.
"Then? What should we do?" Tang Tianli asked. Zhao Xuanyi slapped Tang Tianli on the head
"Are you stupid? We have money in our pockets, why don't we just find an inn?"
"Hey, that's right!" Tang Tianli said with a smile. Shen Wei took out a money bag from Xiao Ming's waist, opened it, looked at it, and threw it to Zhao Xuanyi
"Young Master, you didn't bring anything except the money bag!" Zhao Xuanyi opened it and took a look. There were two pieces of broken silver and dozens of copper plates inside. There were no clues left. It can be seen that this man was very careful. Zhao Xuanyi took the money bag away Throw it to Tang Tianli
"I reward you with money. Throw the money bag away and don't let anyone find it!"
"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" Tang Tianli took out all the money and put it in his own money bag. Then he took Xiao Ming's body and threw it directly into the well, thus destroying all traces of the body!
Zhao Xuanyi gave Tang Tianli an appreciative look, he knew how to get things done! The three of them drove away from the house in a hurry. Since people cannot be trusted, this house cannot be lived in. Zhao Xuanyi is not sure, but he always feels that Xiao Ming has been bribed by the Celestial Sect.
Everyone in the Moon Guard has undergone precise selection and rigorous training. How come so many people died after entering?
I came here alone, so the best way to hide my identity is to kill everyone who knows my identity!
Shen Wei found an inn, and the three of them walked into the inn. The waiter took the carriage to the backyard. When the boss saw the guests coming, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
"Hey, distinguished guests, if you need anything, just ask me!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded with a smile.
"Bring us six of your specialty dishes, and three jars of fine wine! Three first-class guest rooms!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, Shen Wei threw a piece of silver directly to the boss without asking about the price!
The boss was naturally very happy when he received the money.
"Okay, wait a minute! Waiter, clean the three rooms above quickly and let the kitchen cook immediately!" There was not much time, six dishes and three jars of wine were served, Zhao Xuanyi stopped being awkward and just took one jar for each person.
"Come on, we three brothers are here just to have fun, have a good drink, sleep after drinking, and then have some fun at night!"
"Okay, brother!" After Tang Tianli finished speaking, he took a wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for Zhao Xuanyi. The three of them ate and drank. They looked very bold and spoke loudly. Although they were all well-dressed, they were From his words and actions, he looks like a country bumpkin.
The boss thought to himself, where is this bumpkin from? There are two bad money coming out! After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, they returned to the guest room upstairs to rest. It was not yet past noon, and the three of them slept soundly until the sun went down!
