After listening to Zuo Ni's words, Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zuo Ni, waiting for him to continue.
Zuo Ni did not let him wait, and continued: "The output of this 'Red Mountain Stone' is very small. In the past, it was mostly taken to the auction house by the Zhou family, but now Wudaomen has implemented controls. The Zhou family's 'Red Mountain Stone' Grain Stone can only be sold to Wudaomen, and the purchase price is very low. Therefore, their family tried to keep some and wanted to sell them in our way. I invited you here this time to talk about this matter. .”
Li Qingfeng nodded slightly, guessing that Zuo Ni had been in contact with the Zhou family about the "Red Mountain Pattern Stone" before, and now it was probably because they had some problems that they found him.
Although he was thinking this in his mind, he didn't show any signs of it on his face and asked: "So that's it, what do you plan to do, fellow Taoist Zuo?"
Zuo Ni glanced at Li Qingfeng and said, "This 'Red Yue Pattern Stone' is different from the previous ones. You need to be more careful. The Zhou family has their own way. I don't care, but we need to be more cautious here."
He held up the tea cup with one hand but did not drink. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Li Qingfeng and said, "It's hard to say the specific method now. At that time, I may have to find some casual cultivators as a cover, or I may have to pretend to do it... In the end, it all comes down to it." I will send someone to tell you when the time comes."
"Okay." Li Qingfeng nodded and agreed directly. From last year to now, he has already tasted the benefits of smuggling. The profit of ordinary ore was so high before, but now it is replaced by "Red Mountain Stone", he The Li family can only earn more.
Moreover, in the entire smuggling chain, the Li family is only responsible for the transfer. Whether it is the Zhou family or Zuo Ni, the benefits they can obtain and the risks they bear are greater than those of the Li family. They must take this matter more seriously than themselves. , Therefore, Li Qingfeng is generally optimistic about the "Red Mountain Stone".
"Okay! Fellow Daoist Li, please be happy. Zuo is indeed right." Zuo Ni grinned, with a sincere smile on his face that looked a little gloomy due to his appearance and martial arts. His income from smuggling was more than Li Qingfeng has many more, and they are all his own, and have nothing to do with Yuguimen. It is precisely because of this that he is so concerned about this matter.
"In that case, this matter is settled. The first batch of 'Red Mountain Stones' should be delivered in December this year. I will send people to look for you by then." Zuo Ni looked like he was in a good mood and reached out from the storage box. He took out a box of pastries from his bag, holding a tea cup in one hand, and making a gesture of invitation with the other hand, and smiled: "This is the Yizhong Ling Cake I got from the north. The taste is very novel. You may wish to try it, fellow Taoist."
Seeing his enthusiastic look, Li Qingfeng softly said "ha" with a smile on his face. He took a piece of pastry and took a bite. He immediately felt a warm spiritual energy rising from his belly. He nodded and said with a smile: "The taste is good. Isn't it cheap? It seems that fellow Taoist Zuo is making a lot of money."
After hearing what he said, Zuo Ni narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his eyelids, and said with a humble voice: "Haha, blah blah blah."
Seeing him pretending to be dumbfounded, Li Qingfeng laughed "haha" and was not polite to him at all. He said directly: "Friend Zuo, my family has taken a lot of risks by helping you transport this cargo. The clan member responsible for transporting the cargo has been Several attacks have injured several people. Putting this aside, the Jinding Gate is getting tighter and tighter now. My family has also spent a lot of effort to cover up this matter. I won't beat around the bush with you. This time, the "Chiyue Pattern" will be transported. The risk of "stone" is too great, and the 12% my family got before was too little and not enough."
Zuo Ni's face didn't look as good as before. He stared at Li Qingfeng for a few seconds with squinted eyes, then slowly lowered his eyelids. After a moment, he suddenly laughed. The laughter was a bit sinister, but it seemed to have a bit of appreciation.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li is really a wonderful person, I admire Zuo." He chuckled and said, "It seems that these little tricks cannot be used in front of you."
Li Qingfeng didn't respond. He just showed a faint smile on his face. After Zuo Ni talked about what he wanted to do, he didn't even mention the reward at all. He also gave him some spiritual cakes to eat. This was a bad approach. He couldn't do it. Some people really think of him as a stupid young man in his twenties, right?
"Okay, let's talk about the remuneration." Seeing Li Qingfeng like this, Zuo Ni didn't take it seriously and said, "I have two plans. You can choose one. For the first one, I will increase the remuneration for each trip to 20%; secondly, if there is no spirit stone, you take 10% of the 'Red Mountain Stone' as reward, but you can only use these 'Red Mountain Stone' for your own use and are never allowed to sell or trade with others. Otherwise, once I get it, News, this line will be cut off immediately, don't worry, I have the ability to pick it off cleanly, and I will never worry about you reporting it to the outside world."
After saying that, he stared at Li Qingfeng with squinted eyes, waiting for his answer.
In fact, it was risky for him to propose the second plan. After all, although he had indeed made preparations to remove himself, the subsequent smuggling operations would definitely be greatly affected. However, he just wanted to Take this to test whether Li Qingfeng is worthy of trust. If he is, based on Li Qingfeng's personality and character, you can consider cooperating with him on your own matters in the future. If not, then the long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain. Get rid of this as soon as possible. Hidden dangers are also good.
Facing his question, Li Qingfeng remained calm, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Zuo, can you moderate it a bit? I'll take 10% of the spiritual stone and add 50% of it." Chiyue Pattern Stone'?"
Zuo Ni tapped his fingers on the table and nodded: "Yes, but there is only one thing I would like to remind you, fellow Taoist Li, that it can only be used for your own use and must not be sold or traded."
Li Qingfeng looked at him, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I believe in Fellow Daoist Zuo's ability."
Listening to his somewhat ambiguous words, Zuo Ni's eyes narrowed again, and after a while he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded. It seemed that Zuo Ni understood what he meant.
After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly laughed again, looked at Zuo Ni and asked: "Friend Zuo, there is one more thing. I am a water spirit root, but this 'red mountain stone' belongs to fire. If possible, I want to In exchange for some other spiritual objects of the same level from you, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Zuo thinks?"
Zuo Ni nodded and said, "No problem. If you need anything, just tell me in advance and I will pay attention to it for you."
Having said this, he raised his hand and said: "In that case, I might as well ask you to do something. If you see any second-level or above ghost-like spiritual beings, please pay attention to them for me." It can be anything, but it’s this category anyway.”
"Okay, then I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Zuo to help me pay attention to the second-level wood-attributed spiritual objects and water-attributed spiritual objects. I need these things."
"Okay." Zuo Ni nodded.
"One more thing." Li Qingfeng thought for a while and decided to tell Zuo Ni about the thieves in the Zhou family: "During the handovers these few times, it seems that the Zhou family encountered some thieves."
"Thieves?" Zuo Ni narrowed his eyes. After a moment of pause, he smiled sinisterly, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, that is their Zhou family's business, let them solve it themselves."
"That's it." After listening to Zuo Ni's words, Li Qingfeng nodded slightly. He didn't think Zuo Ni would be as incompetent as he said, but it didn't matter. He had already brought the news. The rest, Let Zuo Ni think of a solution.
