The next day, as the genius dawned, Alvin got up. Seeing that Onian was still asleep, he quietly came out of the room. After Juan Yun returned to the Governor's Mansion, he would no longer sleep in the airship, so Alvin could enjoy a night without having to listen to snoring.
As soon as he left the room, he saw Kui Qing waiting for him at the door of the opposite room.
The reason why these two people got up so early was because they wanted to see Miss Junyun.
Jun Yun can now be regarded as the temporary governor of Fuzi Province, and it is not something they can just meet if they want.
The attendants led Alvin and Kui Qing into the luxurious waiting room. As soon as they entered, they found that it was quite lively and many people were waiting here. Alvin glanced around the huge hall and found that the dozen or so people were all officials, nobles or wealthy gentry. He thought to himself that Juan Yun must have a lot of things to arrange today.
However, this classmate from Tide College was still very considerate and was the first to meet them as soon as they finished breakfast.
Another attendant took the two of them into Juan Yun's study. As soon as Alvin entered the door, he sighed that Governor Yuanyasu was really luxurious. Even the king would be in awe of such a magnificent study.
A gorgeous rosewood-backed wool carpet with golden patterns was laid directly from the door to the desk. You must know that this room is three times the size of Alvin's bedroom in the Earl's Mansion. Now that I think about it, the carpet I saw in the Luo Dai organization's secret room yesterday seemed ordinary.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard Juan Yun say straight to the point: "Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Alvin also knew that she was very busy at the moment and had no time to be polite, so he said directly, "That's it, we were about to leave for the north, and we wanted to buy some precious ores and resell them there. .”
"Going to the north? You?" Juan Yun looked at Alvin with some confusion and interrupted him.
"Don't you know?" Alvin was a little surprised.
Juan Yun shook his head.
"Crossing the mountains to the north?" Juan Yun confirmed again.
"Yeah." Alvin nodded.
"Why don't you stay and fight against Resa together?" Juan Yun looked confused, "What about your father's revenge?"
"I don't know." Alvin looked very heartless when he said this.
"I really don't know what each of you is thinking. Don't you want revenge? Or are you all scared of those flying dragons from the Resa family?" Juan Yun said very dissatisfied.
Alvin heard that she was actually sarcastic about Onian, and he thought to himself: "You were fainted when the monster came over, so of course you don't know how scary it is."
But naturally he would not say this out loud, after all, he had something to ask for at the moment.
"Okay. Now that you have made up your mind, I won't force you to stay." Juan Yun pondered for a while and then said, "If you want to come back, I welcome you at any time."
Alvin nodded, "I'm mainly here to ask you for one thing today?"
"You just mentioned the precious ore, are you planning to buy the ore from me?" Juan Yun asked with a smile, "You came to me, didn't you just want to get a cheaper price?"
"If it was an ordinary ore, I wouldn't be embarrassed to say this," Alvin also laughed, "Is it possible that I would take advantage of my old classmates at this time?"
"You can't even think about it. What kind of ore is that? Can you please go there yourself?" Juan Yun asked.
"You...should have heard of 'falling crystal', right?" Alvin said and glanced at her.
Juan Yun frowned and looked at him, "How do you know this?"
When Alvin heard this, he felt that as expected, Governor Yuanyasu must have something private. Kui Qing also looked at him calmly at this time.
He knew what Kui Qing meant, so he didn't mention the Luo Dai organization. "Kui Qing told me about it. She is a big businessman traveling between the north and the south. It's not surprising to know this."
Alvin knew that Juan Yun must have interacted with Kui Qing when he was recuperating on the airship.
"Do you know about Luo Jing?" Juan Yun glanced at Kui Qing doubtfully.
The little girl nodded.
"Is this thing also available in the north?" Juan Yun looked at Kui Qing and asked.
"To be precise, any mine close to Traledi will produce some fallen crystals." Alvin answered first. This was his guess after learning that the Orthodox Church had mined fallen crystals in Maine.
"In that case, this thing is not valuable," Juan Yun said, "Isn't it also produced in the north?"
"Production is production, but few people actually know about it. I only heard my elders mention it occasionally. Besides, to the north of the mountain range is a vast sea of forests, which is weird and gloomy, but no one dares to mine fallen crystals there. Kui Qing looked at Juan Yun and said, "In the past two days, Brother Alvin has been asking me if I have any particularly valuable ores. I just thought of this mysterious falling crystal. Who knew that Brother Alvin would become interested as soon as he heard it?" . The elders have said that there will always be crystallized veins near the big mountain ranges. Maine is bordered by the big mountain ranges in the north, so there should be some. So today we come to sister Junyun to try our luck. Look at my sister. Do you know this?"
Juan Yun thought for a while and glanced at the two of them, "To tell you the truth, I do have fallen crystal stones here. Now I don't have to worry so much, so I just said it, these fallen crystal rough stones are originally My father found it in a cave on the Zham Plateau."
Her so-called scruples meant that King Kelman explicitly prohibited the mining of crystallized veins. Now that the government is about to change, who will pursue these matters?
"How much?" Alvin asked.
Juan Yun looked around the room, "It can probably fill this study room."
Alvin couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked at Kui Qing and said, "This... we can't take that much with us."
"Look what you said, brother, one trip won't do, two or three trips, right?" Kui Qing said with a smile.
Alvin actually wanted to say that he might not have that much money to buy such a large quantity, but Kui Qing was telling him that in business, talk slowly and there will always be a way.
"Then how do you plan to buy it?" Juan Yun asked curiously.
Alvin thought about this problem last night.
He looked at Juan Yun and smiled bitterly: "Actually, to be honest, we don't know the specific price of this thing."
"Then you can't come here excitedly early in the morning without a plan, right?" Juan Yun said.
"Of course not." Alvin looked at Juan Yun and said, "Let's look at it like this. I will take out 50,000 rupees and pack a few boxes of raw crystal ore to take away. When we get to the north, if this thing can be sold Come up with the price, and I will share half of the money you get. If it goes to my hands, the 50,000 rupees will be regarded as my military support for Fuzi Province."
"Then you mean... that the price we settle will be half of the price you sold it for?" Juan Yun asked.
"Yes. The first few boxes of rough stones that I was asked to take away have all been weighed. I'll just wait until Kui Qing comes back next time to settle the accounts. Anyway, I'll refund more and make up less." Alvin said, "Of course. The premise is that those rough stones can be sold."
Kui Qing nodded silently. She felt in her heart that Brother Alvin's plan was good, and the investment of 50,000 rupees was also within a reasonable range.
"Then I don't know the exact price you sold it for. If you come back and report the price to me, what should I do?" Juan Yun looked at him and joked.
Alvin also laughed, "It depends on whether you can trust me as a classmate."
He changed his mind and asked, "How about you send someone to follow us to the north?"
"Hey, I'm so full that I sent someone to monitor you?" Juan Yun sneered.
"Then what should we do? You just don't believe me anyway?" Alvin said helplessly with a smile, "Oh, it's a waste of time to pay back my classmates."
"Okay, okay, let's do as you say." Juan Yun no longer embarrassed Alvin, "These rough crystal stones have been piled there for many years, and I don't know what they are used for anyway. If you want, just do it." Just take it."
The reason why Juan Yun agreed so easily was that she really didn't realize the use of those fallen crystals at first. It would be good to ask Alvin to sell them for cash. After all, she would have plenty to use when recruiting troops. A place for money. Secondly, Alvin and she escaped from the plain battlefield together after all. Although the two of them usually didn't have much contact, and their friendship as classmates was not deep, but now they were in similar bleak situations, which made her feel that he was not. Will lie to her.
After all, the key point is Alvin's words - a classmate. After several years of observation, Juan Yun felt that Alvin was a very trustworthy person. Even if he hung out with unreliable people like Lai Wu and Chen Zhu all day long, it would not affect her judgment at all.
Of course, Alvin really had no intention of making a fuss about the price. He thought that if he really made a lot of money and got half of it back, he would be considered as funding Juan Yun. After all, subconsciously, he still didn't want it. Reza sat in the big one.
"You really don't plan to stay?" Juan Yun returned to the previous topic, and she still tried to persuade Alvin to come down. She vaguely felt that as long as Alwin was willing to stay, Onian would also be willing to stay.
"No." Alvin said softly. For some reason, facing Juan Yun in front of him, he felt a little guilty. Even though he knew that Juan Yun used Fuzi's strength to fight against Resa, it was mostly for her own sake, but when facing such a determined person, he felt a little guilty.
Maybe he is really confused now, maybe he is really scared, which is why he has this mentality now.
Therefore, he still admired Juan Yun, and even admired Kaiba a little. He thought to himself, these people are still very courageous.
"Well, I can only wish you a smooth journey, classmate." Although Juan Yun said it with a smile, there was an unexplainable confusion in the word "classmate".
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
After chatting with Juan Yun, Alvin and Kui Qing strolled around the garden of the Governor's Mansion.
"Brother, do you know why I didn't take Lang Yun in to see the elder yesterday?"
"Didn't you say you were afraid of Luo Dai's people misunderstanding? Why?" Alvin was actually quite curious, but he didn't ask in front of Lang Yun. After he came back, he chatted with Onian until late at night, and nothing happened. Give him a chance to ask this question,
"Indeed, I don't want Luo Dai's people to mistakenly think that we are colluding with local officials to find out their inside story. They are still very sensitive to this. So you have to be careful when dealing with this group of people." Kui Qing said in a low voice. .
"But Langyun is just a common man from Tewadedan, what is there to be afraid of?"
Kui Qing turned her face and stared at him, "Yes, Langyun may be an ordinary citizen now, but brother, how can you be sure that he must have been an ordinary citizen before he met you?"
"Oh..." Alvin suddenly realized, and then he understood why Kui Qing wanted to talk about this at this time.
"It turns out that this little girl was really worried that Langyun was an informant in the Governor's Mansion, so she didn't bring him in. I mean." Alvin thought to himself, "No wonder this girl can travel all over the country at such a young age. It's really It’s not simple.”
But Alvin had no doubts about Langyun.
Not long after the two returned to the airship, Juan Yun sent someone to transport several large and heavy boxes. Also accompanying him was Kaiba.
Alvin was originally worried that no one would entrust him with the 50,000 rupees. When he saw Kaiba coming, he just asked this guy to take the money back.
Kaiba asked what the 50,000 rupees were used for, but Alvin only said that he asked the Governor's Mansion to buy a lot of precious ore rough stones.
"I heard that you are going to the north?" Kaiba said and glanced at Alvin.
Alvin thought that this was what Juan Yun said to Kaiba. Unexpectedly, this female classmate was quite considerate and knew to let Kaiba give him a gift.
"Hehe, I see you have been hovering around that girl Junyun like flies these past two days, and I didn't even have time to mention this to you." Alvin laughed and scolded, "Mainly, you didn't ask. That night in Saliushi , what I was about to say was interrupted by your Miss Junyun, so I didn’t say it."
But Kaiba didn't smile. He turned around and looked at him seriously, "Do you really want to leave?"
Alvin suppressed a smile, looked at the people going up and down the deck, and nodded.
"I thought you and the princess would definitely stay," Kaiba said.
Alvin shook his head and said nothing.
"What a rush. We didn't even have a meal together and didn't drink any wine. Are you leaving now?" Kaiba said with some complaint, "It's also my fault that Xia Ye and the others didn't even say a word to me."
"Maybe they all thought I told you."
"Oh..." Kaiba sighed.
Then the two fell into silence.
"Treasure." Kaiba said suddenly. He understood Alvin very well and knew that once he made a decision, everything he said would be in vain, so he only said these two words.
"Take care." Alvin turned back to look at Kaiba and said seriously.
After all the cargo to be taken away is stored in the cargo room below the deck, the airship is ready for departure.
After everyone finished what they were doing, Alvin said hello and everyone gathered around.
Everyone is not a fool. Looking at this posture, they can roughly guess that Kaiba is heading north with everyone.
Xia Ye, Lang Yun, Qiao Zhi and more than a dozen brothers came forward to hug Kaiba one by one to greet him. After all, they had been through life and death together, so needless to say, a hug was enough.
Under the clear sky, the airship slowly lifted up.
Kaiba raised his head, and the projection of the airship passed over his cheek. He waved to the people on the deck.
"It's time to say goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again." He sighed inwardly.
Alvin looked at the figure below with a calm expression. He did not wave to Kaiba like everyone else, but just said silently again: "Take care."
