He looked around everyone on the horse with a vigilant look on his back, but did not see the weapons, and saw clearly that among the group of people, they were basically the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and then he felt relieved. W√w    W√.

81zW.

CoM bowed to Wei Liao and asked, "Mr. It's cold and cold, what are you doing here?"

When Wei Liao saw this person asking, he smiled indifferently, signaled everyone to scatter, and said, "I and my students travel around the world, traveling a long distance, rest here for a while. I will enter the city later. I wonder what kind of life you are doing?" Wei Liao saw this person with a thick beard, a tiger's back, and a machete on his back, obviously not an ordinary person.

"I am the guard of the caravan of Ba County. Ma Lie. I was shocked and suspicious when I saw many people gather here, so I was offended. "When the man saw that Wei Liao seemed unwilling to talk too much, he stopped talking. He bowed politely to Wei Liao, but his vigilance was not gone. Ma Lie traveled around the world and saw that the old man was arrogant without anger. It was obviously not a simple person, and the two young men next to the old man looked handsome; but he was mixed with a group of people in ragged clothes and scent of bandits, which made him feel suspicious.

After Ma Lie greeted Wei Liao, he signaled the knights to dismount and rest in the pavilion. Seeing that there was nothing wrong in front of him, the convoy behind continued to move forward.

Chen Sheng saw a red ball embroidered on Ma Lie's clothes on his chest, and was surprised and thought to himself, what kind of caravan this was, and he actually had his own brand logo? Chen Sheng had not been in this world for a long time and was not very familiar with the customs and customs of Bajun, which was located in remote areas.

Wei Liao smiled indifferently and said, "This is the caravan of the Ling family in Bajun. The ancestors of the Ling family have appeared in Bashu, and have operated the Danzu mining business for generations. Although the world is big, the only one who manages cinnabar is the Bashu Ling family! Cinnabar is rare and is a necessary material for alchemists to refine medicines, so the Ling family has become rich because of their wealth!"

Chen Sheng suddenly realized that the Ling family was doing monopoly business, no wonder they could have such a huge caravan. However, Chen Sheng was not sure. Ba County is thousands of miles away from Pengcheng, so how could these Ling family caravans appear here?

Seeing that the senior brother didn't know, Tian Peng was very happy and helped explain it. He was originally a prince of the Qi family and was very familiar with these. It turned out that the six countries in Shandong had always had the tradition of alchemy elixirs, especially Qi, which was a paradise that alchemy was popular. Alchemy advocated cinnabar and other rare medicinal materials to be able to refine immortal medicines. The kings of the various kings believed that alchemy advocated the legend of immortal mountains overseas, and sent people to sea to find immortals and ask for immortal medicines many times. However, such farce ended in failure.

However, under the pursuit of the kings and ministers of the country, alchemists have become popular guests in various countries. The enthusiasm of kings of various countries to treat the immortal medicine is really unspeakable. Everyone hopes that their country will last forever and live a life with the heavens.

Under such circumstances, the price of cinnabar, the raw material for elixir, has risen step by step, so the Ling family will send a large number of caravans every year to transport the excavated cinnabar to the six countries in Shandong in exchange for huge profits. This is why the Ling family's caravans appeared in Sishui County. If nothing unexpected happens, the final destination of this caravan should be Jiaodong County, the old place of Qi State, and other places. After all, the most alchemists there are.

After listening to the junior brother's words, Chen Sheng understood. However, when it came to the point of mentioning the Immortal Medicine, Chen Sheng felt a little shocked. In his memory, it seemed that the cause of the emperor's death had a lot to do with asking for the Immortal Medicine.

After listening to Tian Peng's explanation, Wei Liao was also very satisfied and said, "Not only that, the leader of the Ling family is also a strange person. The emperor highly praised her."

"Hmm?!" Chen Sheng was surprised. The emperor was an absolute merchant suppressor. How could he have such an idea about a business?

"The boss was a widow, named Qing. He was the only daughter-in-law of the Ling family who had not yet passed away. It is said that on the eve of her marriage, her husband was patrolling the Dan Cave, and the Dan Cave collapsed and died. Qing and her husband were childhood sweethearts, so they insisted on marrying the Ling family, claiming to be a widow Qing, and they were determined not to remarry. Qing was good at doing business. Under her control, the family business became more prosperous and became the richest businessman in the world. Moreover, she had a political vision. In previous years, the empire fought in the world, and Ba Qing donated no less than 100,000 gold to the empire every year. It is not countable to raise food and grass for the empire. Therefore, the emperor was very different from Ba Qing and praised Ba Qing, and gave all the mining rights of the Dan Cave in Ba County to Ba Qing."

So that's it! This Ba Qing is very powerful! Chen Sheng immediately admired this legendary woman. Businessmen like Ba Qing were exactly what Chen Sheng wanted to do at the moment. Although he knew better that he would eventually embark on the career of the government, but with a strong economic foundation, he could turn around in some things.

While the master and apprentice talked, the convoy had already arrived next to the Changting. It was only after Chen Sheng approached that the convoy had nearly fifty large trucks. The cargo on the car was covered with tarpaulin and was airtight, making it difficult to see what was inside. Each cart had a strong coachman, and two luxuriously decorated carriages were followed by. Several knights were guarding the carriage. The people inside should be the main figures of the Ling family.

"Ma Lie, why did you stop?" Two luxurious carriages approached, and a young man's voice came out from it, with dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Young Master, we have been on the road for most of the day. The people and horses are a little tired. It's better to rest for a while to get on the road." Ma Lie approached the carriage and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, I know." The voice inside didn't seem to like Ma Lie very much, and replied rudely, and the door in the carriage opened with a "creak" sound. A young man wearing an extremely luxurious fox fur coat jumped out of the carriage.

Chen Sheng was curious about the sound inside the carriage, and looked at the luxurious carriage. The young man happened to face Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng saw a young man in his twenties. The man was frivolous and had a morbid blushing face. After getting off the car, a smell of alcohol came out in the air.

Chen Sheng was proficient in medical science. When he saw the young master's expression and smelled the wine again, he knew that this guy must have been too much wine and his body was basically empty. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.
