Chapter 1993 Greed

"Hongyeling's business..." Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and answered, "Our business is quite diverse. How about you learn about it first?"

"That's... okay," Duan Bowen was a little amused. Is this a cooperative attitude?

But it depends on who said it. If it was Hongyeling who said it, it means that their attitude is already good.

At least it involves the other party's business. He has the power to choose. At this moment, he can't choose. He can only blame himself for not knowing much.

And Qu Lingzhu is qualified to say so. With his strength, he is not disrespectful.

Anyway, Duan Bowen didn't have the slightest resentment in his heart. Instead, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I have to think about it carefully."

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Then the business between Dongsheng and Zhongzhou..."

"No way?" Qu Jianlei looked at him with a strange expression, "Are you going to help others smuggle?"

"That's not what I meant," Duan Bowen shook his head. At this critical moment, helping a large number of people smuggle, no one can protect him.

He said shamelessly, "I mean, when you go back and forth, can you take my family with you?"

Because the atmosphere in Dongsheng was getting worse and worse, he had planned before he came back not to go to Dongsheng in the short term.

But seeing that Qu Lingzhu could go back and forth to Dongsheng frequently, his mind became active again.

Before, he didn't go to Dongsheng, not because he didn't want to go, but because he was worried that it would be too inconvenient to go back and forth - he took a lot of detours last time.

Now that he can take the line of Hongyeling and travel back and forth at high speed and safely, what is there to hesitate about?

Qu Jianlei looked at him helplessly, "Although you helped us cross the sea, isn't this a bit presumptuous?"

"A little bit," Duan Bowen hesitated, but didn't deny it. After all, the other party had a lot of secrets.

But then he said, "But the war is coming, and this is a good time to make a lot of money."

During the preparation stage, he saw with his own eyes the crazy degree of hoarding of goods by all parties.

"To make this money..." Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "We don't really want to participate."

"It's not what you think," Duan Bowen replied solemnly, "I admire Hongyeling's integrity."

"It's not that I have to make this money, but once the war breaks out, the shortage of supplies is the biggest disaster, regardless of the price!"

"I can sell at a fair price and not make this money, but other peers will lose the motivation to make money, so there are only two possibilities."

"The biggest possibility is that I will be killed, and there is another possibility that is relatively small... It will lead to a shortage of war supplies for Dongsheng!"

As he was talking confidently, Claire came over, "Boss, Sanshi Zhenxian wants to see you."

Sanshi Zhenxian came to the door in accordance with the rules. After reporting, he put away the flying boat and stood at the door waiting.

Qu Jianlei had no choice but to take Qinghu to the door to greet him.

Qinghu is also a Yuanying, so he can come alone to greet him and take him to see the boss.

However, Qu Jianlei guessed the other party's intention, so he didn't put on airs. If it was a normal social interaction, it would be okay to give the other party some face.

When Sanshi Zhenxian saw Qu Jianlei appear, he opened his eyes in astonishment, obviously a little surprised.

Then he smiled and bowed, with a bit of bitterness on his face, "Master Qu Ling, you hid it from me so badly."

As expected, he knew it! Qu Jianlei smiled, "When Daoist friend goes out to travel, he won't use the banner of the family, right?"

The origin of Sanshi Zhenxian is not particularly secret. At least others can be sure that he has no family in Daye City.

When Qu Jianlei reported his name, he didn't hide anything. The other party's ability to get information is blocked, so he can't be blamed.

As expected, Sanshi Zhenxian's complaint was just an opening remark.

He said with a smile, "Yes, I was wondering when Liuguang City would have such a person, but I didn't expect that he was the real owner of the repair fluid."

"The repair fluid is hard to come by," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then waved his hand, "Daoyou, please come in."

Sanshi Zhenxian came to the courtyard and sat down, and just before he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Duan Bowen not far away.

He frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "This Daoyou... is also from your side?"

"Sanshi, don't pretend," Duan Bowen said lightly, "I don't believe you didn't recognize me."

"Haha, it turns out to be Daoyou Bowen!" Sanshi Zhenxian smiled heartily, "I didn't expect Daoyou to be familiar with the owner here."

"Okay, I'm Wenbo here," Duan Bowen replied casually, "I met Qu Lingzhu in Dongsheng."

When he was active in the eastern part of Zhongzhou, he always called himself Wenbo. Since he was in this line of work, it was normal to have a pseudonym.

However, he chose this pseudonym so casually that it can be imagined that it was just to fit the occasion.

A slightly more established Yuanying can basically guess what kind of business he is in, but he is just pretending not to know.

And Sanshi Zhenxian directly pointed out his real name, and the meaning was also very clear: I know your situation very well.

So Duan Bowen didn't pretend anymore - I just travel between Dongsheng and Zhongzhou, so what?

Sanshi Zhenxian nodded indifferently, "It is also a great fortune for fellow Daoist Wenbo to get to know Qu Lingzhu."

This seems to be a compliment, but in fact it is a bit unkind.

If Duan Bowen didn't know Hongyeling, he would probably be more polite to him, one of the founders of the Five Friends Alliance.

Bowen Zhenxian didn't answer after hearing this. He knew Sanshi Zhenxian's temper, and it was enough to express his dissatisfaction appropriately.

He didn't want to show up frequently in the eastern part of Zhongzhou in order to reduce unnecessary trouble.

And the Five Friends Alliance, which has at least five Yuanying, is one of the forces he doesn't want to provoke.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Qu Jianlei took the initiative to speak, "I wonder what advice Fellow Daoist Sanshi has for you?"

"I don't deserve it," Sanshi Zhenxian smiled and waved his hand.

He could ignore Duan Bowen, but he really didn't dare to offend Hongyeling easily.

"I was also shocked to hear about Fellow Daoist Qu's deeds, so I came to make friends and inquire about some information by the way."

Qu Jianlei glanced at Duan Bowen and found that he had no intention of avoiding the topic, so he simply spoke directly.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!

"We have been friends for a long time, what are you talking about? I don't know... what information do you want to inquire about?"

"There are a lot of things I want to ask," Sanshi Zhenxian also glanced at Duan Bowen, thinking, why are you so ignorant?

However, considering that the two parties knew each other earlier, there might be some interests involved, so he didn't want to offend.

Then let's just pretend that this person doesn't exist, "I want to know first, this space repair fluid... is it really not negotiable?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head slowly after hearing this, "Let's be frank, even if we talk, we can't talk to the Five Friends Alliance, you were established too recently."

Sanshi Zhenren understood that the length of time was just a polite way of saying it, to be more specific, it was because his own strength was not enough.

But it's true that what they said is not a problem, in Zhongzhou, the Five Friends Alliance is just a medium-sized force, at most it is considered large.

Let's not talk about anything else, just say that Daye City, which is currently discussing restarting the Locking Sky Array, is stronger than the Five Friends Alliance.

The Five Friends Alliance can develop vigorously and radiate to other large cities and regions, that is too much for Daye City to worry about.

If they develop normally, Daye City will definitely not care, but if they do things too unseemly, the City Lord's Mansion will naturally ask about it.

So since Hongye Ridge has this attitude, there is really no way to talk about this matter.

So Sanshi Zhenxian asked another question, "I heard that there is a device in Hongye Ridge that is the nemesis of the demons... It's quite magical?"

"It's better than nothing," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Does Daoist Sanshi have any samples?"

"Samples?" Sanshi Zhenxian was stunned at first, then came to his senses, "Daoist, are you saying that it has spread to Zhongzhou?"

"I'm not sure about this," Qu Jianlei smiled noncommittally, "Maybe."

He was really unsure, but since such a rare repair fluid could be smuggled to Zhongzhou, why couldn't the probe be smuggled?

As for saying that this is an item that Dongsheng urgently needs, there is no reason to smuggle it to Zhongzhou?

Qu Jianlei is willing to believe that most people in Dongsheng are good, but he never underestimates the bottom line of an individual.

However, Sanshi Zhenxian misunderstood. He looked at Duan Bowen thoughtfully, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Daoyou Bowen..."

"Don't worry," Bowen Zhenxian waved his hand and said lightly, "I didn't do such a thing, but I can't guarantee that others didn't do it."

Sanshi Zhenxian didn't doubt his words. After all, Qu Jianlei was sitting here. If he dared to lie to himself, how could he lie to Qu Lingzhu?

So he nodded slightly, "What Daoyou Qu said is possible, but what does this kind of thing mean?"

Without waiting for Qu Jianlei to speak, Duan Bowen spoke, "Daoyou Sanshi, such an obvious meaning, don't you understand?"

Sanshi Zhenxian blinked and nodded slightly, "It shouldn't be that I misjudged the role of the Demon Nemesis... I understand!"

"The Five Friends Alliance didn't get this kind of equipment, Daoyou Qu said that our information capabilities are a little worse?"

"About the same time," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "To put it bluntly, such a big business, can your alliance handle it?"

Then, Duan Bowen spread his hands, "I didn't even dare to think about this business, Daoyou Sanshi should think twice!"

"That's right... It makes sense," Sanshi Zhenxian nodded thoughtfully.

He hadn't thought that he would meet Qu Jianlei on this trip. He really came to deepen his friendship and didn't carefully calculate the risks.

But when the other party reminded him, he reacted instantly. This business is really not something that ordinary people can take on.

However, the Five Friends Alliance is stronger than Duan Bowen after all, and it has been operating for hundreds of years and has also gained some support.

So he looked at Qu Jianlei with a straight face, "This business is indeed huge, but... are you willing to support us?"

The Five Friends Alliance is indeed a little bit weaker, but Hongye Ridge is the manufacturer of the goods.

If Lord Qu Ling can clearly state that the business will be handed over to the Five Friends Alliance, then their pressure will be greatly reduced.

You... really dare to take it! Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's true that people die for money and birds die for food.
