Bai Yan and Bai Yuankai still need time to get used to having meat for every meal, endless new clothes, no need to cook and wash clothes by themselves, and even the bath water is boiled and heated for them to use at any time. In this way days. Even things like the maid that had nothing to do with them are now around them.
Days change so quickly, even if they are changing for the better, it still brings stress.
Bailang is okay with his identity change and doesn't feel any pressure. After all, he has enough knowledge and mature psychological quality, as well as the unique "attribute panel" in this world to help him find out.
However, no matter how powerful the attribute panel is, it cannot be used directly, or it can be used as a means to hit the enemy on the head. It is equivalent to opening a back door for Bailang, which reduces the overall difficulty of getting around in this world. But lowering the difficulty does not mean that you can pass the level easily. You must know that Bailang had narrowly escaped death several times before this.
Nowadays, the general situation in the Hong Dynasty has changed. Although the clouds of war cannot be seen yet, they can already be smelled. You can't really just wait for the rain to come, right?
There has to be a way out.
At night, after dinner, Bai Lang left the guards behind and left the newly moved house. Then he followed the back street to the front of a small courtyard while concealing his identity.
When he opened the door, the yard was dark and dim, but there was already a person standing guard under the tree in the yard.
"Wang Lin has seen the sword!"
"Use this house as soon as you get it, but don't show off or draw attention to yourself. Do you understand?" Bai Lang approached and saw Wang Lin in the shadows and reminded him.
This house is also on the east side of the city. Bailang bought it before and planned to give it to Qin Xunyi, Huang Yi's niece, a singer with the stage name Xun'er. Later, it was of no use, and after being sold several times by him, Wang Lin found an unrelated "friend" to buy it. Now it serves as a place of communication between the two parties.
"Don't worry, Zu Dao, I will be extremely careful."
"What's the explanation over there?"
"Zu Dao, if you are willing to speak, you will naturally not be able to refuse. You may even think that one berth is too few and want two. The number of ships per month also wants to be increased from five to ten. In return, they Bian is willing to give you a fixed share of two spiritual stones every six months, and we guarantee that it will be the first-hand price."
"Are these the requirements?" Bailang was not surprised that the other party's lion opened his mouth. It was just expected.
"The request is gone, but they also said that they want to give priority to a batch of yellow and white goods in the near future. I hope we can allow them to sail first. The next transaction can be done slowly."
Although it was pitch black, Bai Lang's eyesight could still see the obvious anger on Wang Lin's face in the faint moonlight. It was also obvious that Wang Lin was unhappy with the other party's request.
Bai Lang also had a sneer on his lips.
"These thieves are really not serious. They want to take advantage before the business is settled. And they want to pry open two berths with two spiritual stones, and they have to increase the number of times. They really regard the channels in their hands as golden signs. It’s over.
If you reply to them, if you are not sincere, then don't talk about it. "
"The sword is the channel for the spiritual stone."
"Lingshi is a vital need for Qi refiners, and no one has too much. That mountain general Niu Jian you mentioned is also a Qi refiner, so he has no shortage of it? So many that he can sell them?
Just two possibilities. One is that Niu Jian is lying and trying to fish in troubled waters by asking us to remove a batch of yellow and white goods first, and then continue to drag them to see the situation.
Another possibility is that Niu Jian has no shortage of spiritual stones, or that he no longer needs so many. So it can be taken out and exchanged for our berths for shipment.
In fact, no matter which possibility it is, we are not the ones who are really anxious. Although the channel for spiritual stones is not early, it is not limited to General Shan. It’s just that no one knows we need it yet. After the dock's reputation spreads a little more, I think there will be new channels to find it.
Therefore, if you want to get the price, you don’t need to indulge them. "
Bailang was a little anxious about spiritual stones before, hoping to open channels as soon as possible to obtain them stably in the long term. But now he is not so anxious. As soon as I took the seat of the sword, a spiritual stone would be distributed every six months. Although it was not much, it was always a gain. And he took Tang Yan's inventory and still had a few spirit stones in his hand. Bailang would have no shortage of spirit stones for at least a year.
"Okay, Zuodao. I'll reply to Niu Jian's letter when I get back."
"Yeah, but don't block Niu Jian's road. It's all about bargaining. It depends on what they say later." Bailang paused again and continued: "Also, as far as you know, is there such a thing around Yongchuan City? A half-dead bandit village?"
"Periphery? This knife, I still know a little about the black market, but not much about thieves. Especially the half-dead villages you mentioned usually have little reputation, and the businesses they do are all piecemeal. Trading is not enough to directly contact our terminal.
But if Zudao wants to know, I can ask someone. There are also information dealers among thieves, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out. "
Bai Lang nodded and said: "Very good, you start this matter first, find a few bandit villages within a hundred miles around Yongchuan City, the kind that are half dead. When you find them, come and tell me immediately."
"Good sword."
"So be it. Be careful yourself."
"Slow down and walk slowly." Wang Lin took two steps behind, but did not leave the yard. It was almost a stick of incense after Bai Lang left before he left through the back door of the house.
Although Wang Lin would not delve into Bailang's instructions. He knew very well what a person like him should do if he wanted to survive in Bailang's hands.
So after returning that night, Wang Lin followed Bai Lang's wishes and sent a message of rejection directly to General Niu Jian. At the same time, he released information to look for information dealers in the bandits, and prepared to buy information about the bandit villages around Yongchuan City that met Bailang's requirements.
A few days later, the Changshui went upstream for more than fifty miles, and then went ashore for more than thirty miles by land to enter the Funiu Mountains. There was a small village next to a cross-border official road between Akashi Kingdom and Hong Dynasty. There are hundreds of farmers, making a living from farming and hunting. Sometimes they also take advantage of being close to the official road to do some small business.
Just after lunch at noon, several farmers were sitting around under a tree in an ordinary small courtyard on the farm, chatting.
"Brother, Yongchuan City rejected the matter."
"Continue to deliver messages to them. Cut off the previous request."
"What if you still don't do it?"
"Then let's trade spiritual stones with them for a chance. The batch of yellow and white goods in our hands must be released as soon as possible. The wind has been very tight recently, and I always feel that something is wrong. I'd better stock up on more food. The rest that can be released will be released .
Also, have you found out the relationship behind the dock? "
"It's difficult. Everyone in the family only knows that the person in the front is named Wang Lin. No one knows who is behind it. But it should be a certain strongman in Yongchuan City."
"Keep checking, this road is not to be missed for us."
