Chapter 39 Hell! Nanzhao! 【4/4】
Things that you cannot produce.
It's not a good thing!
This is the basic operation of being a businessman in the Southern Song Dynasty.
As for why the price of "jade" was so high in later generations?
Except for Yunnan, it has returned to the motherland.
It’s not because some businessmen don’t even want a little professional ethics for the sake of their interests...
certainly.
For example, some hard currency such as Dali's minerals, copper, iron, gold, silver, cinnabar, and leather are not listed here!
The Southern Song Dynasty lacked copper.
Very shortage!
If it weren't for the scarcity of metals like copper, it wouldn't be the turn of silver as the main currency to circulate.
Compared to jade, a luxury product with no use value.
After being scolded by Renly.
The merchants of the Lan family were like other merchants from the Southern Song Dynasty.
Gold, silver, meteorite, medicinal materials and leather were selected as the targets of bulk transactions.
And it has also been decided that every year from now on, there will be a caravan from the Lan family to come to trade.
The Dali government is very satisfied with this transaction.
Because the transaction goods of the Lan family caravan are silk...
That's right!
The silk I just bought from Shuzhong was in less than ten days and I got a huge profit of eight times the price difference!!!
As long as this road flows out, it will be a rich and rich "golden road"!
Dali Kingdom got beautiful clothes made of silk.
The officials in charge of the reception sent the caravan out of the city with great satisfaction.
I walked forward ten miles.
Inside the carriage.
Looking at Dongfang Bai's absent-minded look.
Lan Li said two words without expression:
"Go."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bai showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Remember, don't be discovered. We will do business next time we come."
"I know."
"It is recommended that you go to Tianlong Temple, which is the foundation of the Duan clan of Dali."
"Tianlong Temple? Which ancestral hall of the Duan family?"
"Well, there are many old monks in the master's realm hidden inside, and there is also the Duan family's six-mechanical divine sword lonely book..."
"knew!"
Nodding at Lan Li, Dongfang Bai quietly left the convoy.
Touching towards the Dali City that had just left.
She is not giving up yet.
Since Dongfang Bai can feel the legendary treasure of sword control, how could Dongfang Bai give up?
As for the "Six-Meridian Divine Sword" mentioned by Lan Li, Dongfang Bai didn't care much about it.
The method of controlling qi in the Sunflower Book is enough for her to use.
......
......
This time, Dongfang Bai left for three days.
She rushed back until the Lan family convoy approached the border between Dali and Nanzhao.
Seriously injured!
In the dark night.
Half of Dongfang Bai, whose upper body was stained with blood, returned.
As soon as he stuffed the things in his hand into Lan Li's arms, he fainted.
"Young Master."
"Eat quickly, we will continue to rush after we finish!"
I carefully examined Dongfang Bai's wounds.
After seeing three penetrating injuries on his shoulder.
Renli frowned and dragged her back to the carriage.
Tear the clothes on your shoulders.
Three wounds, the appearance is like a quilt and a bullet drilled into it.
If you look at it with the naked eye, you can see the repaired pink muscles.
On it, there are layers of sword energy, like maggots attached to bones, constantly eroding the regenerating flesh and blood.
This is the first time that Renli has seen such injuries.
"You will encounter ghosts when you walk on the night road, but fortunately you run fast."
Sighing, Lan Li exchanged a life leaf from the system and stuffed it into Dongfang Bai's wound.
Afterwards, she carefully bandaged her.
The excellent effects of the leaves of life have been verified in Zhuo Yihang.
Zhuo Yihang, who was about to die, could hold his life.
I am worthy of his 500 meritorious points!
Even if it is wrapped in white cloth.
You can also feel the energy full of life breath emanating from Dongfang Bai’s wounds.
Helping him recover his wounds.
About half an hour passed, Dongfang Bai woke up after a moan.
The carriage staggers.
He has entered Nanzhao.
Lan Li, who was sitting next to the bed, glanced at her.
"woke up?"
"Well...what did I get back?"
Wake up, Dongfang Bai’s first thing to do.
Not thinking about your injuries.
Instead, I thought of what she brought back.
"How little do you care about your life?"
After complaining, seeing Dongfang Bai still looking at him, Lan Li threw the thing in his hand over.
A scroll.
It is divided into two layers: inner and outer layers.
Just now, Renli has seen it.
The inner layer is a bunch of words that cannot even be seen in Lanli.
The outer layer records the Six-Meridian Divine Sword!
I don't know how this girl stole it...
The thing has arrived.
A blush was dyed on the white and pale face of the east.
Holding the scroll, he fainted again as if he was holding a baby.
Seeing this, Renli shook his head.
Cover her with a quilt.
"You have such a good talent, and you still work so hard. Will you give us ordinary people some way to survive?"
Dongfang Bai, who was in a coma, seemed to hear Lan Li's words.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
......
......
Another day passed.
Lan Li and his party.
Starting from Xiangyang, passing through Jiangling, Shaozhou, Linjiang, Juzhou, Shuzhong, Wuliangshan, and Dali.
It took sixty-four days.
Finally arrived in Nanzhao Kingdom!
Outside the window is the scorching sun.
At first glance.
The jungle is full of...
When I entered a place like an old county town in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Lanley was told.
Here, the important border town of Nanzhao Kingdom...
On the street, children with bare butts ran all over the street.
His face was pitch black.
It makes people unable to tell whether they are boys or girls.
Not crowded.
but!
dirty!
chaos!
Difference!
This is Lan Li’s full impression of Nanzhao!!!
The caravan of the Lan family just entered the city.
Behind it, there were a group of "little tails".
He looks only seven or eight years old.
Look at you with your watery eyes.
If you can ignore the 'stone pieces' they are holding.
Just now.
A caravan's merchant was not careful and was directly stabbed into the blood vessels on his neck by the stone...
Blood burst out.
Confused.
Looking at the sudden surge of people from the street.
Then fall down...
"Draw the knife!"
"fight back!"
"Those who dare to approach the caravan will be killed without mercy!!!"
With a few roars, it sounded.
Riding on the horse, Zuo Zhong drew his sword and slashed!
Afterwards.
It is a country slang that crys about parents.
After leaving more than a dozen corpses, the people retreated to the distance and began to point fingers.
It seems to be cursing the viciousness of the 'Businessman' door.
It seems like a curse is being issued.
Lanli was very bored when she heard it.
here.
Is Zixuan's hometown?
I have to say.
The welcome ceremony of the Nanzhao people disappointed him very much!
"So, how did Zixuan grow up in these people?"
Relaxing with one hand against the car window.
Lan Li looked at both sides of the road indifferently, and pointed at the Nanzhao people at the convoy.
"The poorer the place, the richer the more you will be than you imagine."
Dongfang Bai, who was leaning on the tiger's skin, replied to him.
only.
It looks like a bit ridiculous?
Renli chose to turn a blind eye to this.
He just asked Zuo Zhong outside to speed up and arrive at the capital of Nanzhao where the Nuwa Temple is located as soon as possible.
Although Lan Li has always called Nanzhao a small country.
Just based on the land area, the size of Nanzhao is actually larger than that of Dali.
It's just that poverty is beyond imagination.
Walking on the dirt road covered with turf in Nanzhao.
Looking out the window.
Lan Li could actually see many figures without any trace, traveling between the jungle.
There are men and women.
He held a wooden stick, rope, and a simple spear in his hand.
"What are they doing?"
"I plan to ambush you."
“….”
When Lan Li heard this, she widened her eyes and looked at Dongfang Bai:
"Are you teasing me?"
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"They are going to stab the iron armor with wooden sticks?"
"No!"
Dongfang Bai sneered:
"Don't cut these people without much equipment, but the poisonous arrows, poisonous substances, lassoes, and traps hidden on them!
If you accidentally, a businessman will fall into their trap.
Then they will emerge from the jungle, kill prey like you with all kinds of means you have never seen before, and scatter everything in you!"
“……Tell me.”
"Hahaha...you'll know later."
"What do you mean?"
Dongfang Bai smiled but refused to answer.
Her expression made Lan Li feel bad premonition flash in her heart.
so.....
"Zuo Zhong!"
Pointing his head out of the window, Lan Li ordered with a blank expression:
"Give me the order, everyone will be in the iron arm crossbow, and everyone who is close to the convoy will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
When he replied, Zuo Zhong licked his skin-skinned lips.
Soon, after a clamor, the convoy became silent.
Just like a ferocious beast walking in the darkness?
After a moment.
'Bang'
‘Bang...bang...bang...’
A few sounds of crossbows and air strings sounded, and in the jungle, there were a few noises from the Han people.
"Don't do it, we are Song..."
'Bang.'
The voice of the caller stopped abruptly.
Inside the carriage.
Listening to this, Dongfang Bai looked at Lan Li with a smile.
"Are you very decisive?"
"otherwise?"
"I thought you would be soft-hearted."
"...You forgot that many people in the team participated in the Northern Expedition."
"yes...."
Speaking of this, it seemed that the movement was too big and it pulled the wound on the shoulder.
Dongfang Bai frowned and covered his left chest.
After a moment, she nodded to Lanli:
"You guards are your treasures, be careful not to let them die here."
"I know...."
One night time.
The convoy is acting on the official road.
Every ten miles.
Several bodies will be left on both sides of the road.
Among them.
There were Nanzhao natives who suddenly broke into the road and shouted.
There were Han people who were coerced by the natives of Nanzhao.
More of them are Nanzhao women who have learned Chinese.
One night, the dead were close to fifty.
But even when it was almost dawn, there were still people like this who kept coming to the convoy.
finally.
It's dawn.
Renley walked out of the carriage.
By the light of the sky.
He looked at a Nanzhao man in the distance who had been aimed at by crossbow arrows.
I asked what I had to keep my heart for the whole night:
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
The Nanzhao people who were asked were stunned for a moment.
He tilted his head, as if he was thinking.
Then.
He saw him waving to Lan Li with a smile.
Chapter completed!
