Chen Yanbi had indeed met this young man named Yin Huan under Qin Wang Qi Jun. According to his recollection, this guy seemed to be a self-recommended person and a stalker. In view of his very positive attitude and good ability, So he was assigned to the Chamber of Commerce to wait for orders, but in fact he didn't receive much attention.
But after Qi Dan and He Nan teamed up to besiege Qi Jun, Mr. Chen returned to the team, and his whereabouts were no longer known. Later, Qi Jun was dealt with by the Sanfa Division, and the chamber of commerce strongholds in various parts of the Sheng Kingdom were also attacked at the same time. Under the influence of these factors, there are actually many possibilities for Yin Huan's whereabouts.
First, if they were buried in the original war and became cannon fodder, then even the corpses may not be found. The conventional method for disposing of corpses, whether by the army or the Jianghu people, is to bury them on the spot in addition to centralized burning; Second, that is, he successfully survived but was arrested and imprisoned at that time or during the subsequent suppression operations. This outcome is actually easier to handle. At least he can find this guy no matter how he relies on his connections; third, Yin Huan is very lucky. Well, he didn’t die in the battle or be caught by the government, but he still followed the remnants of the Chamber of Commerce and hid somewhere without a trace; as for the last result, he saw the decline of the Chamber of Commerce and took advantage of the chaos to leave - this is also It is not impossible, because Yin Huan joined the Chamber of Commerce for too short a time to be considered loyal at all.
Ran Yuan must find Yin Huan, not just because he wants revenge, but what he wants to do more is to ask Yin Huan whether it is worth it?
As the two best people among the younger generation of the Fuyao sect, Ran Yuan knew that Yin Huan had a high self-esteem and was a little unconvinced with himself, but he did not expect that jealousy could be so heavy and destroy the two people's supposed bright future. …
Xiao Kelong still admired Ran Yuan very much. After all, not everyone can achieve the spirit of a person who can bounce back after suffering such a devastating blow, so he invited him to stay in Luoyan County for a while. , but Ran Yuan said that he was going to visit Jianmen Mountain next, so Master Xiao did not force it anymore.
After waiting like this for another two days, Chen Yanbi finally waited for the arrival of Hamud, the businessman from the Western Regions, and Bian Zhenyun also helped to bridge the gap and facilitated a meeting between the two parties.
"Mr. Hamud, I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to you for agreeing to our invitation." Since he was the one who took the initiative to learn about the situation, Chen Yanbi was fully prepared - he was also in the business district of Luoyan City these days. I got a lot of information about Hamd. The most talked-about thing about Hamud is that this Hu man loves grand and gorgeous pomps, and that this guy is very lustful, so Mr. Chen followed suit and arranged the invitation at the best place in Xianyang Inn. In the brothel "Zui Wo Ju".
Hamd is the same as many people who are walking on the line between life and death. You can criticize them for being indulgent and extravagant, but they will invariably tell you that they are living in the present - wandering around various countries like them There are a lot of brokers on the border. They have to deal with the dangerous natural environment and beware of the elusive pirates and desert bandits. Not only do they not receive the protection of local governments, they may even be threatened by officers and soldiers... It can be said that they are also a group of people who really have their heads in their belts.
Take Hamud as an example. He is already a well-known second-level dealer in Luoyan City. He even has a caravan led by himself. However, this team almost always travels between Shengguo and Western countries. Among them, The members will be reduced by about 10 to 20% - the bizarre experiences of these people in the open sea and desert are enough to write a book, and their destination is a catalog full of bloody and dirty books, so this group of desperate people Everyone invariably chooses to enjoy every worthwhile moment.
Higher-end brothels like Zuiwoju usually receive high-status people. Although everyone comes to the brothel for the same purpose, these people still pretend to recite poems and write poems to express their status. They danced and wrote a lot, but Hamud didn't understand this and didn't care. At this moment, when talking to Mr. Chen, he held the dancing girl in his arms: "Hahaha... I appreciate Mr. Chen's kindness, and I also understand what you mean. . But I, Hamud, am a vulgar person, which is “vulgar” in your Shengguo dialect, so it’s better for us to talk about something practical. "
To be able to travel between various countries, Hamd’s language talent is quite good.
, except for the thick accent, there was nothing wrong with the wording and grammar in the few words he said. When he saw Mr. Chen looking at him expectantly, he continued: "You Whatever you want to ask, just ask - I can answer everything I know. And for some things I can't answer, as long as the price is right, I can actually tell you everything - of course, you don't have to be afraid to follow my instructions. You can buy "fake goods" here, and the reason why I, Hamd, do this is because I am "a thousand pieces of gold." "
These words made Xiao Kelong, who was sitting next to him, laugh. He quickly said: "Then what Brother Hamd means is - there is nothing that money can't solve. If there is, then it means there is not enough money? "
Hamud looked at the young boy and laughed twice, and said sternly: "That's not entirely true - there are some things that I really don't know, and there are some things that I really can't come up with. In this case, it has nothing to do with money. "
Although Xiao Kelong was joking, Mr. Chen couldn't laugh. He knew the subtext of this Hu Shang - he was announcing in a high-profile manner that his credibility was very reliable, but in contrast, this reliability was also expressed in large sums of money. Numbers are piled up.
Mr. Chen is not the kind of person like He Nan who spends money randomly. This is related to their growing up experience and personality - although He Nan himself has little money, the food and accommodation expenses of students at Shanhe Academy are subsidized by Shanhe Academy, so Uncle The living expenses given by him and his aunt were all used on his various interests and hobbies; and although Chen Yanbi had a huge backer behind his family's great business, after all, he was not a direct bloodline, so he had consciously avoided it since he was a child. In order to owe the family, even if the account is not written down on paper, it will be recorded in the heart.
And now the two people's responsibilities are also different - He Nan is the leader of their small gang, he only cares about completing the goal, but Mr. Chen is responsible for accounting. It is also a very valuable piece of information. He Nan might spend a dime to buy one and get one free. Even if the gift is a joke, it will still ring a bell, but Mr. Chen tends to only spend 800 copper coins to get what he needs. That portion.
Of course, the escort bureau robbery was of great importance, and Xiao Yu was also a friend of Mr. Chen, so he was not stingy at all when it came to spending money that should be spent, but he would never let Hamd take advantage of what should not be spent. So, Chen Yanbi spoke: "Although Mr. Chen has something to ask for and is in business, it does not prevent us from making friends. I have also heard some of Mr. Hamud's legendary experiences during his travels from others. But after all, it’s not pleasant to hear something from hearsay. Now that I’ve met you in person today, I think it would be more accurate to tell it from your own mouth.”
"Okay, let me just pick the most recent paragraph..." To be able to set the benchmark in the industry, Hamud's intelligence and wit cannot be underestimated - when Chen Yanbi was investigating him in Luoyan City, he Naturally, some of the guys in the group also touched Mr. Chen’s bottom, so this curly beard came prepared today. How could he not know what Chen Yanbi wanted to use as an opening statement? But after all, people praised him so much, so he told the truth - what he was talking about was the past of the evil sword "Gareth's Curse".
This legendary sword really wasn’t acquired by Hamd by chance and he had to find a good buyer in Shengguo. Instead, a mysterious buyer with generous spending took the initiative to find him - but as far as Hamd knew, He was not the only broker that the buyer was looking for. Several footmen with good reputations had accepted the job, and the employer not only paid a lot of travel expenses in advance, but also promised, "It doesn't matter if you can't get the goods. But whoever can complete the deal will also receive a pretty generous reward."
In fact, it is not advisable to pay a large sum of money in advance in this industry, because many people take your money but do not do anything for you, and where can you go to find them in this day and age? However, Hamud was indeed a broker with good reputation, and he kept the matter in mind after receiving the money - but this was three years ago.
At first, the whereabouts of this sword was very clear. This sword was held by the son of the chief minister of Xie Gao. Later, the prince gave it to his guard officer. For the guard officer, how could it be a gift from the master? Trade to others at will? Therefore, no matter how hard the brokers tried their best to persuade them, the matter was regarded as an impossible task - anyway, they had already received a lot of money, and the employer didn't say anything. Why do people who do things for others have any leisure time?
But later, as the Hao Gao and the
A melee broke out between Shahu, Sheng Guo, and Li Nu. The guard officer died on the battlefield, and the whereabouts of the sword he wore was unknown. It happened that Hamud was doing business in Li Nu country at the time, so he spent a sum of money on it. He paid a high price to get this sword from the scavengers of Li Nu Country and brought it back to the Central Plains.
However, there is no airtight wall in this world, and the fact that Hamud got the evil sword soon spread to the ears of other companies - you know, the good reputation of these companies is "goodwill", not " "Morality", the employer only cares about whether the goods can be delivered to him, and does not care who delivers the goods. What's more, if any of them can get this sword from Hamud, it will be a cost-effective business, so You can imagine how thrilling the journey back was.
Long-distance caravans usually hire some masters to escort them, and Hamd is no exception. He also spent a lot of money on this sword and his own life. When he reached the border area near the Sheng Kingdom, the caravan he was in at the time suffered nearly a loss. Half a year later, in the end Hamud hired nearly ten masters at once - of course, he also knew that people's hearts are unpredictable, and among these so-called masters there might be undercover agents sent by the opponent, so this vast army It was just a cover-up. The real sword was taken away by himself and two of his confidants overnight. It was not until he entered Shengguo along the Shanhan Pass that he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was extremely careful along the way and brought the evil sword back to Luoyan City safely. ——This is his base camp, and with the protection of Xianyang Inn, he can finally close his eyes and fall asleep.
"So, if I hire someone to snatch the sword back, I'm just causing trouble for myself... This sword is a hot potato. Anyone who carries it can't even sleep well." Hamd explained: "As for me, As for those colleagues, although they are not involved in human affairs, after all Director Yu and I have completed the deal, there is not much point in them going to seize the sword again - they are ultimately seeking money, rather than risk offending the three major escort agencies in the Central Plains Instead of risking the employer, it’s better to come and rob me directly!”
"But there is one thing that really concerns me..." From the looks of it, Hamud is always drinking and bragging, not to mention that his words are still worth a lot! The ability to whet one's appetite is also unique.
