Ao Xuehua thought carefully for a moment before slowly speaking: "Too many."
Among the ten members of the Late Summer Friends Club, she and Ye Qing were the richest, simply because each of them could use a portion of the empire's resources.
But Ye Qing himself was already destitute due to the Hengtian Formation, and Lenovo Aoxuehua, a girl who entered the Lanye Empire with thousands of explosive, uh, artificial crystals, expected to support her family by selling arms. Now, you can count on how much active cash she has on her own.
What's more, those weapons have been completely consumed in Icewind Valley.
"I don't have much cash on hand." She said quietly, coldly and seriously: "I don't like jewelry, so I don't have these valuable things that are easy to cash with me. However, I have many works of masters with me. If it fits If so, I will sell some at the next auction in the Hall of Hanging Mirrors. At least I can exchange them for more than a thousand golden leaf grasses, which can solve an urgent need.
Ye Qing gritted his teeth: "I also have a lot of heavenly crystal cores in my hand. If possible, we can auction some of them together and we can at least get enough for a year."
She did not explain, but everyone present knew that she was referring to the crystal core used to construct the Eternal Sky Formation.
Facts have proved that at the most critical moment, girls are the most reliable.
The three major associations have their own activity funds, and most of them come from taxes collected directly from the West City. However, those funds are all public funds recorded in the books. Even if the three major bosses are present, it is not unreasonable to make some false accounts to cover up the truth. Yes, but except for Qi Xia, the other two bosses have principles and bottom lines after all. Even if a man is not willing to give up for five buckets of rice, he has to squat down to pick up the ten pieces of golden leaf grass in front of him.
In fact, if it is a small amount of reimbursement, the three BOSSs may actually use their own club funds. After all, the annual income and expenditure report does not mean that there is a large surplus, but a balanced balance of payments is the most beautiful report.
But the problem is that the amount of money, which may be more than 3,600 golden leaves per year, is too huge.
Apart from the activity funds of the three major societies, and the private treasury behind Ao Xuehua and Ye Qing, the Late Xia Friendship Society really has no source of money that it can draw on. Not to mention Lan Che, Lan Che's current status and use of family resources are simply a dream. Ziquan was born as a commoner, and selling Ge Sheng's own manor could almost cover three years of consumption, but it was An Ning's manor, and Ge Sheng couldn't make the decision.
Unless Ge Sheng is willing to lower his face and tell An Ning that Lobel is the product of him and Ye Qing secretly tasting the forbidden fruit, and ensure that the smart mother will not expose it and is willing to pay for milk powder for her "granddaughter", then all this will be possible accomplish.
The problem is that Ge Sheng can only shout that I can't do it.
Another person who is likely to take out the money is Shi Feng.
The entire Tianlan Shi family was destroyed. In principle, as the only surviving male in the direct line, Shi Feng is the most qualified person to inherit the Shi family's ancestral business. The Shi family has been operating in Tianlan City for hundreds of years and earns 3,600 gold a year. Although Ye Cao is a strain, it is definitely not impossible to get out.
Unfortunately, when he was in Tianlan City, Shi Feng gave up his inheritance rights to the Tianlan Shi family.
Everyone knows the reason at the end of summer.
His sister destroyed his family with his own hands, so what qualifications and dignity do he have to inherit the property?
However, the person who finally stood up was someone no one expected.
Your Highness.
The girl in black clothes and red hair had no expression on her face, but she had already spoken: "I can pay the money."
Everyone looked at her silently.
The Third Highness is very rich. This is a fact that the entire Ye Ye College knows. After all, she is the eldest lady who uses golden leaf grass as change.
But where did the Third Highness's money come from? This has always been a huge mystery. The independent villa she owns in Ye Ye City would be worth no less than 100,000 gold leaves if sold.
Many people in Ye Ye College had made corresponding speculations before this, but the results of the speculations were nothing more than two. One was that someone paid her this huge annuity regularly, and the other was that she inherited a An inheritance, including the villa where he lives.
But these speculations were completely shattered in Icewind Dale.
The Third Highness is a pure dream butterfly. Her existence is maintained by the dream butterflies in a distant place. The world is her dream, and she is the dream of others.
She was born from nothing and had nothing to do with the world. How could she have an inheritance or someone give her an annuity?
But the Third Highness is still very rich. With enough money, he can calmly pay the annual expenses of 3,600 gold leaves for the entire Late Summer Friendship Society by himself.
His Highness ignored everyone's gaze and said calmly: "Is that okay?"
Ye Qing walked out slowly. When he met this senior sister four years ago, she was only ten years old, so at that time she was much smaller than the Third Highness. She looked like an adult.
Today, she is fourteen years old, her body is gradually developing, and her menstrual period has been coming for a long time. Now looking at the Third Highness, they are already the same height, and in a few days they will probably surpass each other.
But Ye Qing still felt that he could never surpass the opponent.
"We don't want to cause any trouble to you." Ye Qing chose his words carefully. Even if it seemed like being polite to a stranger in front of outsiders, in the Late Summer Friends Club, this was the deepest respect and affection.
Together they went through the battle before the cave, fighting the saint, fighting the impossible, no one backed down even if they couldn't see hope, and they failed and faced the edge of saying goodbye to her forever. Before that, this weak and quiet girl She did so many things silently and indifferently. She saved countless citizens in front of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern, and sealed the out-of-control Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern with her own hands. During those long three days and three nights, she traveled non-stop. Caught in the gap in the world, just to fight for that one-in-a-million possibility; she personally rescued Ye Luan at the Lanliu Festival, and said An Ran was okay with her hands behind her back.
She traveled through the world. Originally, the world had no obstacles for her, but because she finally chose to look down, Wu Gu's body was finally stained with the dust of the world.
So after that battle, everyone confessed to the girl from the bottom of their hearts. Although they knew that she didn't care, everyone hoped that she could see their love for her, and that she would continue to exist in this world for a long time. The world's expectations.
Therefore, not causing trouble to His Highness the Third Highness is, to some extent, one of the highest codes of conduct of the Late Summer Friends Society.
So we have Ye Qing and we don’t want to cause any trouble to you.
No one knows what kind of consequences His Highness will bear if he suddenly takes out such a large sum of money.
The Late Xia Friendship Society didn’t want to see this cause and effect.
His Highness the Third Prince calmly shook his head: "It's okay, they were there a long time ago."
Been there a long time ago.
How long ago was.
Where is that?
The words of His Highness the Third Highness were still so concise and concise, and she would not even explain a single word more if she did not want to.
Just as Ye Qing was about to answer, he felt a burning sensation in his arms.
She couldn't help but take out the small communication crystal and frowned slightly.
Haoyue's voice came from it quietly: "We are here. Please send someone to greet us, Princess."
Bright moon.
Why does Haoyue come?
Even Ye Qing couldn't figure it out at this time, because Ren Qiuke had not informed Ye Qing in advance before this.
However, at the end of summer, all the members of the Friends Club are holding an emergency meeting in the activity room about Lobel's milk powder money, so in this way, no notification is even needed, and all the members can be summoned to hold Lobel and see what Haoyue is here for. .
It was the afternoon, when the group from the Late Summer Friends Club walked out of the activity room, followed the path across Yeye College, past Bingxiao Square, and then along Qingye Avenue to the city gate in the south. Just as Haoyue said, There she was, waiting.
Naturally, she couldn't show off her hermit appearance when she was out, so she still wore a hood and stood there with gray hair and gray eyes.
As for why Haoyue didn't come in, it was certainly not because of the Yin Jiao's entrance fee.
Since Haoyue asked Ye Qing to send someone to pick him up, Ye Qing knew that this was not something that just a few people could handle, so he simply brought all the members of the Late Summer Friends Club. After all, with the three giants all present, Ye Qing would The city can also be easily walked sideways.
Ao Xuehua looked at the guard who blocked Haoyue at the door. When he approached, the guard gave her a solemn military salute.
Since there is no city lord's palace in Ye Ye City, the highest authority is the Council of Elders in Ye Ye College. Under the Council of Elders, the student government is fully responsible for administration, and the security guard work is handed over to the Snow Burial Society. Since Ye Ye City Most of the residents are strong people who have lived here for generations, and the difficulty of governing is extremely high and low. Therefore, relatively speaking, the entire Ye Ye City is jointly governed by the Student Government Association and the Snow Burial Society on the surface, and the West City in the shadows. In principle, the guarding of the city gate is within the scope of the Snow Burial Society's authority.
After all, the entire Ye Ye City guards received their salaries from the Snow Burial Society.
From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Aoxuehua is their highest peak.
Ao Xuehua nodded. The guarding of the city gate was in principle the responsibility of the Snow Burial Society. In fact, Ye Yecheng's real defense strength did not lie in these relatively elite soldiers, nor in his own Snow Burial Society. , but the group of strong men above the heavenly realm. Therefore, the real military power of Ye Ye City is extremely weak. The city gate guards are really only responsible for access control and cargo transportation. Those who are really responsible for suppressing and arresting are often the Snow Burial Society, which is mainly composed of elite Ye Ye students. For the secular power , a single club of the Snow Burial Society can withstand an ordinary legion. It is really not an exaggeration to say that the Snow Burial Society is a dark organization.
Therefore, Aoxuehua did not exchange too many greetings with the guards at the city gate, and just asked calmly: "What's going on."
Naturally, the city gate guard was no longer the one when Ge Sheng entered the city. After all, he was not in the same gate. The leader paid a military salute to Ao Xuehua, and then reported in a strict manner: "The person who came here calls himself the special envoy of Tianlan City Lord and has been ordered to escort a batch of goods. He said The amount of this goods is extremely huge and cannot be processed through customs channels, so I kindly ask the president and the chairman of the autonomous association to receive and count it in person, and report it directly to the elders after making the order."
After hearing this, Ao Xuehua asked the leader to walk out of the city. Behind Haoyue were several well-made carts. They were made of fine steel and red copper and were extremely strong. When ordinary thieves encountered such vehicles, they would use ordinary swords and heavy hammers. There is no way to destroy it, and the only way to do it is to abandon the vehicle in a vain attempt without being able to take away the goods inside.
Of course, such a transport vehicle is expensive to build and weighs so much that it would be difficult for ordinary merchants to even buy one, let alone find a suitable beast to tow it.
At this time, the beasts used by Haoyue to pull these carts were not ordinary horses, but mammoth elephants that were native to the snowfields.
"Why not use space equipment?" Aoxuehua asked quietly, instead of first asking what kind of goods were contained in these large trucks.
Space equipment is naturally very precious and rare, and there are even fewer space equipment that can store such huge amounts of goods. At least Ye Qing and Ge Sheng's own space packages can only hold some personal belongings, but Ren Qiuke is the Lord of Tianlan City. , Haoyue is also a born saint of the Xuetong clan. It may be difficult to come up with space equipment that can hold all the goods in one fell swoop, but it is not difficult to use multiple pieces of equipment separately.
After all, if you use space equipment, you don't need to use such a heavy truck, and you don't need to spend such a long time on the road.
Haoyue smiled, turned her head and said, "Because Qiuke said that some things must be installed in the car to show their heaviness and sincerity."
"So, after these were cleared up in Tianlan City, we traveled day and night, and it took us sixty days and nights to get here from Tianlan City."
"Qiuke personally asked me to tell you something."
Haoyue faced the people from the Late Summer Friendship Club who had already walked out of the city gate, smiling gracefully and gracefully.
"Saving the world gets paid."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the Late Xia Friends Club, except those who were too slow, guessed what the goods that Ren Qiuke had transported thousands of miles here were.
This city lord is really generous and generous.
Ye Qing stepped forward and was about to say yes, but was interrupted by Haoyue. She put her finger on her lips and made a silent gesture, and then said with a smile: "The city lord has taken away the money that should belong to him." The rest, these are all things you deserve."
"Besides that." Haoyue paused, then turned around and said with a smile, "Ke'er, why don't you come and see your brother soon?"
Everyone in the Friends Club at the end of Xia was stunned, but they saw a girl who was no more than six or seven years old running briskly from behind the cart, respectfully saluted Shi Feng, and then said with a smile: " I’ve met my brother.”
Most people in the Friends Club at the end of summer had never met this girl, but Ye Qing recognized her identity immediately.
Shi Ke.
The only one left alive when Wuyougu massacred the Tianlanshi family.
Of course, it is not necessarily possible to leave him alive, because what Shi Ke suffered at that time was already the most horrific torture.
But when Ye Qing witnessed Shi Li's memory with his own eyes, he realized that Wuyougu had left her life with the last trace of goodwill.
Because that was the spell she was brutally treated with.
After returning from Icewind Valley, when the Friends Society temporarily stayed in Tianlan City in late summer, Shi Feng went to visit Ren Qiuke in person, and then they took Shi Ke's bones with them to find the bones that had been completely destroyed by Shi Li. The palace.
Originally, the Palace of Bones that Rodriguez had accumulated over hundreds of years was already one of the most precious treasures in the world. However, when Shi Li was born as the Bone of Heavenly Bell, she immediately slaughtered the entire Palace of Bones to vent her anger. She only took down the most precious batch of the treasures of the Palace of Bones, and then personally defeated the Palace of Bones, leading the army of monsters originally prepared by Rodriguez into Icewind Valley.
Because the Palace of Bones was too completely damaged, Shi Feng and Ren Qiuke only unearthed a small part of the treasures there. However, Shi Feng was lucky enough to find the original goal of coming here, which was the treasure that Rodriguez once gave Shi Li. A blood pool used to restore the body.
Through the inheritance left to him by Shi Li before his death, Shi Feng presided over the reconstruction of Shi Ke's body, and then followed Ren Qiuke back to Tianlan City.
The reason for restoring Shi Ke's body and redeeming the sins caused by Shi Li was secondary, but more importantly, to find an orthodox heir to the Shi family.
