Kang Yongzhi was not sure about the purpose of King Xi's trip to Liangcheng. Even though the Kang family had already received news that something happened in Rouyuan Palace, Kang Yongzhi, a naturally suspicious person, was still uneasy.
The main reason why Kang Yongzhi was uneasy was that the transactions he made with the Tuols team this time were different from those in the past, such as salt and iron tools, because this time he was mainly a middleman and the party of the transaction.
For a mysterious merchant, Party B is the Tuols Division. The goods are transported by Party A to Liangcheng and temporarily stored in the Kang family. The Kang family then handed the goods to the Tuols Division's people to complete the transaction.
In other words, the location of this transaction is in Liangcheng. The reason why Kang Yongzhi took over this transaction was entirely because if he did not do this, he might ruin the special relationship he had established with the Tuols tribe for many years of private transactions.
As the saying goes, wealth will last for three generations, but Kang Yongzhi is a capable man who has increased the ancestral property left by his grandfather ten times. The reason why he can do this is precisely because he knows the meaning of the four words "check for omissions and fill in the gaps".
The loophole Kang Yongzhi found was the overall situation in Jiuyuan, and it can also be seen from it that the forces in the neighboring parties are lacking.
The reason for softness is the grassland. Due to regional reasons, what is lacking is iron and fruits, while the approaching Rui is that it is in the cold for most of the year. Although the minerals are rich and there is no shortage of iron, what is lacking is a large amount of food.
What the city lacks is meat. Although Huayuan also raises poultry and livestock, the animal husbandry industry is far inferior to Rouyuan. Therefore, Kang Yongzhi secretly exchanged iron tools and fruits and vegetables for Rouyuan cattle and sheep, both of which were used to exchange goods for goods.
.
However, if a large number of cattle and sheep appear in Liangcheng, they will inevitably be suspected. Therefore, except for leaving a small part, Kang Yongzhi sold most of the remaining ones directly to Ruiyuan, which was in urgent need of food, and exchanged them for abundant mineral resources from Ruiyuan.
For example, iron ore or cold iron ore, this cycle is used.
After all, if it were not for the relationship between the Taurus tribe of Ruohara and the Yan tribe of Ruihara, they could provide each other with fruits and vegetables, but the grudge between the two forces entrenched in the two places could not be easily
This has led to the Kang family, a middleman, seeking a lot of benefits from it.
Although Ji Chengying, as the emperor, had known about this for a long time, he was very puzzled. What channel did the Kang family transport goods to Rouyuan and Ruiyuan?
Although Rouyuan and Ruiyuan are adjacent, the Tuols tribe and Yan tribe are constantly snatching territory, there are only three ways to enter. If you don’t climb over Wulian Mountain and enter Rouyuan from Rouyuan to Ruiyuan’s local realm
.Either you can enter Ruiyuan directly through Gucheng, or you can walk around the sea route and then enter Ruiyuan.
The nearest road to Ruiyuan can only choose to start from the nearest coast of Yanyuan, but the Kang family cannot establish any relationship with Yanyuan, nor can they directly enter Ruiyuan to do business through Gucheng, which now controls the Tuols tribe.
Even if you can safely climb Mount Wulian, the Tuols tribe will not allow the Kang family members to enter Ruiyuan directly from there.
Let’s take a step back, how did the Kang family transport the goods to Rouyuan? Was it just crossing the dangerous Wulian Mountain? That’s absolutely impossible.
Therefore, Ji Chengying did have another purpose in this trip, which was to figure out the freight channel of the Kang family. Intuitively, he told him that there must be something tricky here. If he didn't find out the situation earlier, it might lay a huge hidden danger in the future.
.
Because since you can secretly transport goods, you can also smuggle soldiers. It would be fine if this channel is controlled by the court, but if it falls into Ruiyuan or Rouyuan's hands, it would be bad.
Kang Yongzhi personally led people to the city to buy local food for Ji Chengying. As the chief of staff, Xue Yun immediately rode his horse to the Tiangan Military Banner outside the city, because the goods the seller wanted to transport were hidden in the flag at this moment. Among the camps, because the military camp is the safest place to hide goods.
In the Tiangan Army Flag Camp, outside the tent in the corner was a tent guarding a sentry elite Tiangan Army. Their duty was to protect the people and goods in the tent. Except for Kang Yongzhi and Xue Yun, anyone who trespassed could be executed on the spot.
In the huge tent, except for the iron cage covered with black cloth, there was only a simple bed, and the person who transported the goods this time was lying on the bed at this moment.
Even when the consignee was sleeping, he was covered in a cloak, revealing only the pair of sword eyebrows and those sharp eyes.
The curtain of the tent was lifted open and the moment the sun shone in, the transporter immediately stood up and grabbed the scabbard next to him. After seeing clearly that the person coming was Xue Yun, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Yun walked forward slowly, bowed and said respectfully: "Young Master, the King Xi convoy has just entered Liangcheng, and the prefect is accompanying me. I will tell you."
The delivery man, known as the young master, nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the person who came to receive the goods from the Tuols tribe? Haven't arrived yet?"
Xue Yun shook his head: "It's not here yet, we don't know what method they will use or who they will send. According to the agreed time, it should be here tonight."
The delivery man looked at Xue Yun and asked, "No matter what, if the consignee from the Tuols department is not there at the third update tonight, I must go back, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble."
Xue Yun comforted, "Young Master, don't worry, the people of the Tuolsi tribe have always kept the promise."
The delivery man asked again: "I'm just curious, how do you deliver it to Rouyuan after receiving the goods? Are you really going to Wulianshan?"
After saying that, the delivery man looked at the two iron cages covered by black cloth again, and there seemed to be some beasts in the iron cage. Such two iron cages, let alone the fog and mountains, even It is not easy to transport flat land by carriage.
Xue Yun smiled and said, "The young master doesn't need to worry about this matter, we have our own way."
Seeing that Xue Yun refused to reveal a word, the delivery man stopped asking questions, but just sat back on the simple bed and stared at one of the iron cages.
Xue Yun knew what was locked in one of the two iron cages because he could clearly feel it, but what was in the other iron cage?
Xue Yun said again: "Young Master, I'll go and bring the wine and food."
But the delivery man said, "It's okay if you have food, I won't drink, thank you."
On the day of trading, you naturally cannot drink alcohol.
Xue Yun responded and left the tent. The delivery man then pulled down the black mask covering half of his face, revealing his delicate but weak face. Even if the people here see his true face, they would not know. His identity, if anyone recognizes it, the Nan Rong family will be completely finished.
Because the face under the mask was Nan Rongyuankai, the youngest son of Nan Rongfeng, who started talking at the age of five. In the eyes of others, Nan Rongyuankai is completely different from his elder brother Nan Rongzhong, except for the mountain Playing with water, you don’t care about anything else.
Although Hu Shen believed that Nan Rongqu style's two sons Zhongnan Rongzhong were a charming talent, Nan Rongqu style prefers the second son Nan Rongyuankai. As for the reason, only Nan Rongqu style himself knows it.
So, why did Nan Rongyuankai become a delivery man? What were the two iron cages he brought? What exactly were the things that Nan Rong family was going to sell to the Tuols unit?
——
Under the Liangcheng City Tower, Tang Xiaohao, Xiaoling, Sumu, Aqi, Yueyan, Chierda and Baomeng stood there, looking at the two big words "Liangcheng" written on the sign below the city tower.
After Xiao Lingdang woke up from her sleep, she became a little taciturn, and didn't speak much along the way, as if she was full of thoughts, so she just followed Tang Xiaohao. As for Tang Xiaohao, she made up her mind to follow Baomeng to Rouyuan. Yes,
He said that this has already begun the adventure of Kyushu.
Su Mu was very conflicted. Although he had survived the control of the essence, his martial arts were lost now, which was equivalent to a waste. There were 100% of the Xuan tribe in the Liangcheng realm. Maybe the Xuan tribe commander Aoki will come here in person.
At that time, he will definitely be asked to surrender his essence again, and Su Mu will become a puppet of Xuan's tribe again.
Baomeng was very surprised. Why did Ah Chi and Yueyan go around Liangcheng without walking around the path and just enter Liangcheng? Moreover, Ah Chi also said that she wanted to take Tang Xiaohao, the prince-consort as a hostage. Could it be that she would bring the hostage into Liang?
Can the city be safe?
Bao Meng frowned and looked at Childda, then cast doubtful eyes at Ah Su, and then looked at Childda, because Childda seemed to agree with Ah Su's decision to come to Liangcheng, just like Childda
It's the same as doing something in Liangcheng.
Ah Qian explained: "Don't worry, there will be no problem, come with me."
Tang Xiaohao stretched, looked at the silent little bell beside him, who was expressionless and expressionless, and said, "What's wrong with you? I haven't said a word these days?"
Yueyan was still walking at the end of the few people, surveillance in the rear, but she deliberately kept a distance.
Xiao Lingdang looked at Yueyan sideways and asked Tang Xiaohao in a low voice: "Don't you think I'm very strange?"
Tang Xiaohao said deliberately: "What does it mean?"
"How could I become a snowman?" Xiao Lingdang looked worried, "As you said before, the cold air that frozen in the inn came out of my body. How could I do this? What's going on? Who am I?
?Aren’t you surprised at all?”
Although Tang Xiaohao was also curious about this matter and even said he was a little scared, he knew very well that Xiaoling had lost his memory. If he was curious now, the more painful the littleling would be. Therefore, Tang Xiaohao could only pretend not to be serious and respect this.
Don't care about anything.
Tang Xiaohao comforted: "The coldness in your body can only explain one thing."
Xiao Lingling asked nervously: "What's the matter?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "Your body is too damp. I'll scrape you a little while and pull out a cupping."
Xiao Lingling rolled her eyes unhappily, and Tang Xiaohao chased after her with a smile and said, "You are gifted. You think, I will be blessed in the hot summer. When the weather is hot, you will become a snowman and start to emerge.
The air conditioner is comfortable to think about.”
Xiao Lingdang felt uncomfortable at first, and she became even more angry when she looked at Tang Xiaohao's hippie and smiled, and almost kicked her.
At this moment, Tang Xiaohao saw a group of beggars sitting on the street, and suddenly remembered what Situ Chang'an said that his elder brother Wu Tianlu was in Liangcheng. Maybe these beggars knew where the elder brother was?
Tang Xiaohao thought about finding Wu Tianlu to discuss how to act next. As long as Princess Baomeng is handled properly, he can follow Wu Tianlu to explore the world.
So, Tang Xiaohao took advantage of the fact that Ah, Childda and Baomeng were gradually drifting away in front of him, and immediately walked towards the group of beggars.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingdang and Su Mu followed him. Yueyan was worried that there would be a change and had no time to call Ah Chi, so she had to go up and see what was going on.
As soon as Xiao Lingdang, Su Mu and Yueyan stepped forward, they heard Tang Xiaohao say to a beggar: "I just want to be a kind of person after seeing you."
Xiaoling, Su Mu and Yueyan were stunned when they heard this, wondering what Tang Xiaohao was doing? But the beggar looked at Tang Xiaohao half open his mouth, as if he was watching a fool.
Su Mu leaned closer and asked, "Mr. Concubine, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the group of beggars did not respond, Tang Xiaohao thought that Situ Chang'an's secret code might be useful in Shendu City? It was useless in Liangcheng? Just as he was about to get up, he heard someone among the beggars responding in a deep voice: "Who?"
Tang Xiaohao looked happily when he heard the sound, because he recognized that the voice was not someone else, but the sworn brother Wu Tianlu whom he had been thinking about day and night. Therefore, Tang Xiaohao almost said in a trembling voice: "Your person!"
This scene almost caused Xiao Lingdang, Su Mu and Yueyan to explode on the spot.
It’s not a shame that he is the number one scumbag in Shendu City. Not only is he so scumbag that he doesn’t even let go of beggars, but he also takes both men and women!
