Chapter 1371 Let’s Go to Zhuoyu

He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up: "Before I came to Yao Country, I heard that General Xue was a pillar of the country, and his orders were followed by laws. After these days, I realized that rumors could not describe even a fraction of General Xue. General Xue is a rare talent, and his tolerance and pomp are beyond the reach of ordinary princes."

Xue Zongwu could certainly understand his sarcasm. After Yang Shan Shang asked Fan Shuang to file a complaint, King Yao sent a letter to the north line, scolding Xue Zongwu and warning him to restrain himself.

Fan Shuang didn't know what was going on with the two cases, but King Yao knew it well, but he didn't punish him in the end.

So Xue Zongwu and He Lingchuan knew very well that filing a complaint like this would not hurt Xue Zongwu at all.

But He Lingchuan still wanted to file a complaint, it was a matter of attitude.

In the Xiancheng arson case, Yang Shan and Xue Zongwu were not very comfortable. The former died, and the latter was scolded.

"I think seeing is believing. Those who can make such a big business are usually smart." Xue Zongwu narrowed his eyes at He Lingchuan, "Smart people don't do stupid things."

Smart people should know who they must not offend.

"General Xue, you are too kind." He Lingchuan didn't seem to hear the threat in his words, "I only have this little ability. I can only do small business after all the trouble, and sometimes I have to make wedding clothes for others."

It is obvious that Yao Wang personally stamped the agreement, but the agreement could not be truly implemented.

Xue Zongwu laughed: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. What can I do? If you don't admit it, I'm afraid your future will become narrower and narrower."

Even if the king of heaven blocked his way and hindered his business, he would kick him away.

The He surname suffered a loss under his hands, and he was unwilling to accept it.

Very good, whether he suffered a loss or was angry, he would keep it all to himself!

His smile was like a tiger staring at a sheep, and Fan Shuang beside him couldn't help but shudder.

The power of these generals was so scary!

The soul-catching mirror said angrily: "They killed our people and burned our houses, and they still told us to accept our fate? This bastard!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" He Lingchuan smiled unchanged, "It's said that there is no way out, as long as you kick the big rock blocking the road, who knows if there is another village behind?"

Kick it away? Xue Zongwu looked at him steadily and laughed: "You really have the heroic spirit of a young man, no wonder my king likes you."

Fan Shuang finally realized that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and quickly interrupted: "The carriage is here, General Xue, we have to go first."

He didn't mention the matter of drinking a cup.

He backed out. General Xue was a tiger-like character, so he didn't want to get close to him.

"Oh?" Xue Zongwu asked, "Where is He Dao going? Do you want to go with me and have a companion?"

Fan Shuang was sweating when he heard it. General Xue is a man who kills without blinking an eye. What good will it do if He Xiao dares to provoke him?

"I still have a few business deals to discuss, and I'm afraid I can't keep up with General Xue's pace." He Lingchuan replied calmly, "I'll go to visit General Xue again when we get to Tianshui City."

"Okay, it's a deal." Xue Zongwu pulled the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

Seeing him get on the carriage and gallop away under the escort of 200 elite cavalry, Fan Shuang let out a long sigh and complained a little: "Brother He, why did you offend General Xue for no reason? Others are avoiding him as much as possible."

"He took the initiative to find me." He Lingchuan was also nonchalant, "Besides, the person I'm going to offend later has a higher status and a bigger style than him. There are too many lice and they don't bite, so why should I be afraid of him?"

Fan Shuang was ashamed.

He knew that He Lingchuan was referring to Qingyang.

It seems that Island Master He is also very clear about his intentions.

He Lingchuan said again: "Besides, do you really think he dares to kill me in the capital of Yao State, in broad daylight?"

"Uh..." Fan Shuang was really unsure.

It's not surprising that General Xue killed people in Tianshui City in a rage.

He Lingchuan was saying: "Even in Lingxu City, even under the eyes of the gods, this kind of thing has never happened."

Fan Shuang had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to start, so she just smiled a few times. Suddenly, she felt that it was not easy to accompany He Lingchuan to the capital.

He clearly saw through your thoughts and your schemes, but he would not easily expose you; he seemed approachable and enthusiastic, but you didn't know when he would suddenly become sharp.

Think about the ferocious General Xue, and then look at the pleasant He Lingchuan. It is hard to imagine that He Lingchuan was the first to provoke General Xue, without any ambiguity.

Fan Shuang didn't understand, since He Lingchuan knew that he would face the big trouble of Qingyang Regent on his trip to Tianshui City, why did he offend General Xue for no reason?

But he thought again, this "good friend" was the one who escaped from the vortex of struggle between Qingyang and Shuangye, Lingxu City and Tiangong by using the case of the immortal medicine. Could he do things without measure and without support?

He Lingchuan patted his shoulder and said happily: "Okay, Brother Fan, let's set off too and reach the capital as soon as possible."

He couldn't rush to the road either, after all, there was Fan Shuang beside him, and the guards sent by King Yao. Fortunately, Xue Zongwu took a carriage after landing, and the speed was naturally much slower than riding a horse, so He Lingchuan still had the possibility of catching up.

He asked Fan Shuang: "How do we go next?"

After landing on the Bailang River, there are several routes to the capital of Yao State.

Fan Shuang had already prepared a plan, and immediately said: "The shortest route is to cross Zhuowei and continue eastward, and you can reach the capital in four days; if Brother He wants to go to Mangzhou, we will take a longer detour and then reach the capital in six days."

He was accompanying the distinguished guest to the capital. No matter where the distinguished guest wanted to go, as long as he could catch up with the birthday ceremony of King Yao, he would try his best to accompany him.

He Lingchuan clapped his hands: "I heard that Mangzhou is also a rare prosperous place in the Golden Plain."

Fan Shuang was a little proud: "Yes, Mangzhou is the second largest city in our country, whether in terms of area, population, or resource endowment."

"Then let's go to Zhuowei."

"... Brother He doesn't want to go to Mangzhou to have a look?" If you don't want to go, what are you rubbing your hands for?

"I want to, but I'll go on the way back." He Lingchuan said in an orderly manner, "I remember that several families in Zhuowei are preparing to cooperate with Yangshan?"

He just went to check the place.

"Others want to go to rich places to play, but Brother He always keeps business in mind. No wonder he is such a successful businessman." Fan Shuang understood, "Okay, let's go to Zhuowei to visit a few noble families."

After they left, the dock was still bustling, unloading and loading ships, busy and happy.

After nightfall, the foreman of the boat that the Weng brothers took went to the tavern at the dock and asked for two glasses of water wine and a dish of boiled beans in salt water.

This trip made a good profit, and the few wages that were not paid went into his pocket. Thinking of this, the foreman asked for a plate of pork skin jelly as a starter.

They couldn't leave tonight anyway, and they would return tomorrow after the ship was fully replenished.

He was drinking comfortably when a man appeared in the tavern and sat down on the empty chair at his table.

The foreman was about to ask him to get out, but the man took out two coins of silver and put them on the table: "Brother, I want to ask you for information."

This money was enough for him to have several meals. The foreman immediately swallowed the unpleasant words and reached out to collect the silver: "What do you want to ask?"

"Did General Xue come here on your boat?"

"No."

Wanqi Feng was stunned. No? He asked all the way here.

"After sailing from Longkou Ferry, I learned that General Xue had sent all his men to my boat, and he chose another small boat."

Wanqi Feng suddenly realized. So Xue Zongwu used a trick? Smart.

"Several people were taken away from your boat in the afternoon, so what happened?"

"Those few..." The boat foreman hesitated and weighed the silver in his hand for a few times.

Wanqi Feng understood immediately and threw out another silver.

"Master Xue's guards determined that these people were suspicious and wanted to take them away for interrogation."

Suspicious? Wanqi Feng asked again: "What happened on the boat?"

"Nothing, everything is peaceful."

"No fighting, no disputes?"

"Nothing. This is the most stable time I have been sailing for many years." The boat foreman said, and took another sip of wine.

When he put down the wine glass, there was no one on the other side.

...

Here, Fan Shuang led He Lingchuan and others to keep on going, and they didn't find an inn to rest until nightfall.

Entering the central part of Yao Country, the posthouses here are different from those in other places in the Shining Gold Plain, and even different from the western part of Yao Country. They are no longer just simple accommodation and resting horse functions. These posthouses are also open to civilians and business travelers, and the food and accommodation are several levels apart, just like the inns outside.

And here they also provide services such as purchasing horses, sending and receiving letters, and purchasing goods on behalf of others.

It was the first time that He Lingchuan saw that a posthouse could purchase goods on behalf of others, not even Beiga. Local civilians and merchants can order goods within a radius of 100 miles from the postmaster, and the messengers will send this demand, and when the caravan comes, they will bring the goods together.

This provides great convenience to the locals and even indirectly promotes the prosperity of the local market.

He Lingchuan knows that this kind of gameplay must be based on abundant materials, good public security, convenient transportation, and smooth information. It can be seen that Yao Country is indeed a wonder on the Shining Gold Plain.

No wonder the Shining Gold people hate it and yearn for it.

He Lingchuan even saw the wine aphid candy produced in Yangshan Islands on the shelves of the posthouse!

This is a new product launched at the end of last year, developed by Zhu Erniang herself. The aphid candy has a little bit of alcohol fermentation aroma. People with poor alcohol tolerance will get tipsy after eating a few more pieces.

He remembered that this kind of candy was just supplied to Blade Port and Bailie, and it was sold out in seconds as soon as it was put on the shelves.

But the price of wine aphid candy here is only about twice as expensive as Yangshan.

He Lingchuan murmured: "Is it so cheap?"

"Is it still cheap?" Dong Rui just heard it, "You black-hearted businessman!"

"Although aphid candy is not easy to deteriorate, the transportation cost from Yangshan to here is high. Only doubling the price is about making a small profit." He Lingchuan sighed, "Even aphid candy can't be sold, it really deserves to be the hometown of cocoa."

Yes, one of the specialties of Zhuoyu is cocoa!
