Chapter 319

Zhou Shun asked for trouble, smiled awkwardly, looked around, and his attention finally fell on Tang Yin and Zong Yuan. He didn't think anything of it at first, but the more he looked at them, the more he felt that these two people were extraordinary and different from ordinary people. He asked suspiciously: "Excuse me, are these two..."

Before Yingbu could speak, Zhao Ju hurriedly said, "Master Zhou, these two are my servants."

"Oh?" Zhou Shun raised his eyebrows, looked at Tang Yin and Zong Yuan again, and said faintly: "Domestic servant? I don't think... they don't look alike!" Zhou Shun was a civil servant, and he didn't know martial arts, nor did he know martial arts. Without the use of insight, even if you can tell that Tang Yin and Zong Yuan are different, you can't tell what is different.

Yingbu squinted his eyes and screamed inwardly, it seemed that Zhou Shun was suspicious. Thinking about it, his eyes flashed and he put his hands behind his back. White spiritual mist appeared on his palms, ready to strike at any time.

Tang Yin and Zong Yuan were able to keep their composure, and there was no unnecessary change in the expressions on their faces. Zong Yuan bowed to Zhou Shun and said with a smile: "This little man is the master's accountant, and this is the master's nurse. We have been following the master for five or six years. Anyone outside can do this." Testify."

When Zongyuan spoke, he didn't blush or breath, and looked calm. No one could tell that this was a lie he made up.

Zhou Shun didn't hear any flaws, and he was 70% or 80% convinced.

At this time, Zong Yuan stepped forward, came to Zhou Shun, and whispered: "Sir, we received a lot of strange goods from the north of your country this time. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look." , he also specially winked at Zhou Shun.

Zhou Shun didn't understand what he meant, but he could see that he was hinting to go out. Zhou Shun thought for a while and responded: "Okay, then I'll go out with you and take a look!"

So the cunning and cunning Zhao Ju couldn't laugh at this time. How could he have received any strange goods? What kind of crazy thing was Zong Yuan doing? Thinking about it, he hurriedly looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin didn't know what Zong Yuan wanted to do, but he trusted Zong Yuan's ability. Since he wanted to take Zhou Shun out, he must have his purpose.

When Yingbu saw this, he stepped out to follow him. Tang Yin waved his hand at him, signaling Yingbu to calm down.

Zong Yuan led Zhou Shun out of the lobby. Instead of walking out the door, he turned around and pulled Zhou Shun to a secluded corner. At the same time, he took out a large silver bag from his pocket and smiled. He stuffed it into Zhou Shun's hand, and then said: "Originally, after visiting General Yingbu, I planned to go to Mr. Zhou's house to sit for a while. Now that Mr. Zhou is here, it saves trouble. This is one of my master's points. I hope you will accept it."

"Oh?" Zhou Shun took the silver bag, opened a corner, and looked inside. Well, it was filled with white silver ingots. His eyes lit up at first, and then he immediately straightened his face, handed the wallet back, and said coldly: "What are you doing?" As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the left and right from time to time, for fear of being seen by others.

Zong Yuanbie may not be good at it, but he is good at observing people's emotions. Just looking at the change in Zhou Shun's eyes when he took the wallet, he was 100% sure that he was a greedy person. He chuckled and said: "Because of business, I have to lead us in and out of Ba Pass from time to time. I am also grateful to General Yingbu and Lord Zhou for taking care of me. It is only natural and right for my father to be filial to the general and Lord Zhou." Sir, please stop being so polite and don’t show off, we will have a lot of interactions in the future!”

"Haha!" Zhou Shun smiled leisurely. A businessman is indeed a businessman, he just knows how to do things. Everyone said that Baguan is a ghost place where no one can shit, but now it seems that is not the case. While holding the wallet in his hand, he was also secretly weighing it. He felt that the wallet was heavy, ranging from a few hundred taels to a few. This much money is enough for his salary for two years.

He pretended to clear his throat and asked, "What? Your master also gave money to General Yingbu?"

"Yes! But don't worry, sir, the package for General Yingbu is definitely not as big as the package for you!" Zong Yuan said with a low voice and a sly smile.

"Haha--" Zhou Shun was amused, and while stuffing his wallet into his arms, he said: "It's not easy for you to travel around in business, and I'm embarrassed to accept the money. I'll keep it for you temporarily, and wait. "Your master will take it back from me when he needs it in the future." His words were beautiful, but in fact, who can get back the money he gave away?

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you sir, thank you sir!" Zong Yuan nodded and saluted.

After receiving a large bag of money from Zong Yuan, Zhou Shun's attitude towards him immediately changed 180 degrees. After he and Zong Yuan returned to the lobby, they stopped asking questions and sat less often. After a while, he got up and returned home contentedly.

After Zhou Shun left, Yingbu immediately asked curiously: "Mr. Zongyuan, when you and Zhou Shun went out just now..."

Zongyuan looked up and smiled and said, "Money can make the world go round! I took Zhou Shun out and just secretly gave him a bag of silver."

I see! Tang Yin, Ying Bu and Zhao Ju all laughed when they heard this.

After chatting for a while, Yingbu got to the point and asked, "My lord, when are you going to go back to Ba Pass this time?"

Tang Yin said quietly: "It may take a while."

"oh?"

"I have another purpose for this trip." Tang Yin did not conceal Yingbu and said seriously: "I want to visit the capital of Mo State, Zhenjiang!"

"Ah?" Ying Bu took a breath. Tang Yin was going to the capital of Mo Country. Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap? The Tianyuan Army was now at war with Ning Country, and Ning and Mo Country had always been on the same side. As the commander of the Tianyuan Army, how could Tang Yin go to Mo Country and be let go?

Seeing Ying Bu's concerns, Tang Yin smiled and said, "It is precisely because this trip is dangerous that I went there secretly and acted in secret."

Even so, Ying Bu felt that there were many dangers. He said with some concern, "Your Excellency, please be more careful!"

"Haha!" Tang Yin shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "General Ying Bu, don't worry. I have made all the preparations."

"That's good." Ying Bu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tang Yin speak so confidently. In fact, Tang Yin didn't prepare anything at all. He just sent out the spies of Sky Eye and Ground Network in advance. If an accident really happened in the territory of Mo Country, he could only respond to the situation improvisation.

Tang Yin did not stay in Baguan for long. That evening, he followed Zhao Ju's caravan out of Baguan and entered the territory of Mo State.

Mo State is also a big country with a vast territory, not much smaller than Feng State. Mo State is bordered by Feng State to the north, Ning State to the northwest, Yu State to the west, and An State to the south. It can be said that there are powerful neighbors in all directions in the west, which also makes Mo State have a well-connected geographical location. Its business is particularly developed, and it is a wealthy vassal state.

The style of the towns in Mo State is similar to that of Feng State. After all, they belong to the same empire. Just entering the towns in Mo State, you can immediately feel the wealth of the people. In Feng State, because of years of war, the people's lives are relatively difficult, and it is difficult to even have enough food. However, Mo State is completely the opposite. There has been no war for many years, and with the prosperity of business, the living standards of the people are much higher than that of Feng State. From this, it can be seen that the overall national strength of Mo State is far beyond that of Feng State. In a local war, Feng State may be able to gain a certain advantage with its strong fighting power, and once the war falls into a protracted tug-of-war, Mo State can use its strong national strength to drag Feng State down alive.

Tang Yin and Zong Yuan both came to Mo State for the first time, and they were deeply impressed by its wealth. Walking in the streets of the town, they almost never saw people with patched clothes. The two had the same idea in their minds. As far as they were concerned, they could not fight with Mo State at all. With the current national strength of Feng State, they could not withstand such a strong enemy as Mo State.

It was a wise choice for Tang Yin to follow Zhao Ju's caravan to sneak into Mo State. Zhao Ju often went in and out of the border between Feng and Mo State, and was very familiar with the soldiers stationed at the border fortresses. He was almost not checked too much when passing by, and the checkpoints along the way were released one after another, which saved Tang Yin and his party a lot of trouble.

It took another ten days to get from the border of Mo State to the capital Zhenjiang City.

Zhenjiang City is the capital of Mo State and the largest city in Mo State. There is a big river in the north of the city, which runs through the east and west of Mo State. It is called Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang City is named after this river. This big river is not only wide, but also has a turbulent flow. It is a natural barrier in the north of Zhenjiang City. Looking up, there are white sails on the river, and large and small boats shuttle on the river, which is very lively.

While walking towards the ferry, Zhao Ju excitedly whispered to Tang Yin: "Sir, after passing Zhenjiang, we can enter the capital!"

Tang Yin nodded, then looked around and said: "Don't call me Sir outside, just call me Tang Chu." Approaching the capital of Mo State, there are many people and eyes, and calling Sir again will easily attract the attention of others, so he brought out the fake name Tang Chu.

"Yes! Sir... Oh... Tang Chu!" Zhao Ju was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of words.

Tang Yin then said to the brothers Zong Yuan and Shangguan on his left and right: "You call me that too."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

There are many ferry crossings on both sides of Zhenjiang, and there are also large docks where large ships that transport goods dock. Zhao Ju has his own merchant ship in Zhenjiang. He led Tang Yin and others to a dock on the east. As soon as they arrived near the dock, someone came up and greeted Zhao Ju respectfully.

Zhao Ju handed the goods he brought to the servants to load the ship, and he took Tang Yin and others on board.

"Is this ship yours?" Going up to the deck, Tang Yin looked around. This big ship is not small, four or five meters wide and more than ten meters long. There is no problem loading goods and horses on the ship.

Zhao Ju smiled and said, "Yes! I can afford such a big ship thanks to your care!"

Tang Yin also smiled and said quietly, "As long as you can sincerely work for me, I can afford ten or a hundred ships like this in the future. However, if you are so hypocritical, you may not have the chance to spend your money even if you make a lot of money."
