Chapter 115: Chief Steward of the Fortune Chamber of Commerce
After entering the private room, everyone took their seats, and the food and drinks were quickly served.
Without saying a word, Yang Linlin immediately grabbed food and stuffed it into her mouth. She was obviously very hungry.
Han Yun was very curious, how could this girl eat so much even though her belly was not big.
As for the house Wang Fugui mentioned just now, Han Yun knew that it must be the stronghold of Fugui Chamber of Commerce in Zhaoyang City. Wang Fugui had never been to Zhaoyang City, so how could he buy real estate in such a remote city.
Everyone ate and drank, not feeling heavy about entering the Land of Demonic Fall at all. Instead, they were in a good mood. After all, they had worked hard all the way and finally reached their destination.
Among the people, Qi Xiaoyu walked the most. Longchuan was located in the northwest of the Dachuan Dynasty, and Yumen Pass was in the northwest of Longchuan. She almost crossed the entire Longchuan, and then passed through half of Luochuan before arriving at Luodu City.
After walking for more than a month, Han Yun also walked from Yin Yang Sect to Luodu for half a month.
They walked from Luodu to Zhaoyang City for nearly a month, and they were really tired from the journey.
Han Yun set out in mid-March, and it’s already the end of April.
Everyone was enjoying their meal, and when they were almost done eating, the door was pushed open.
Walking in front was Wang Fugui's bodyguard, followed by a man with gauze tied around his head and one arm hanging.
"what happened?"
Wang Fugui frowned and looked at the injured person.
"Sixth Master, our house was taken away by a caravan last night."
The injured man knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
"caravan?"
The Caravan is not an exclusive gang, it is like a chamber of commerce and can be found in almost every city.
Caravans make profits by forming horse teams to transport goods to merchants, but caravans are generally local snakes and have a certain underworld nature. They often rob the employer's goods, so the employer will also hire some escorts from the escort agency.
Come and help escort.
Some organizations and forces that transport goods by water are called Caobang.
In big cities, caravans can only be regarded as coolies and not popular at all. In remote towns where there are no strong people, caravans can dominate.
So when Han Yun heard that the Fugui Chamber of Commerce's stronghold was taken away by a caravan, he felt a little unbelievable. It was like the emperor's personal conquest with a million-strong army was wiped out by a few hundred village soldiers.
This is not of the same magnitude at all.
"What does it mean to be taken over by a caravan? Is the caravan in Zhaoyang City so powerful?"
Wang Fugui frowned and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Six, there are not many powerful forces in this small town. We and the caravan have always been on the same page, and occasionally we have some business dealings.
But I don’t know what the caravan ate last night. Suddenly they all attacked our stronghold, took away all the money and miasma medicine we left behind, and killed several people. The remaining few of us also
Everyone is injured."
"Where are our strong men? Didn't I send someone over when the Devil's Fall Land opened?"
"Our strong men have entered the Land of Demonic Fall a few days ago. Only a few of our intelligence personnel are left. The caravan took advantage of our lack of strength to sneak attack. It was obviously premeditated."
Wang Fugui stopped talking and thought to himself. Han Yun said,
"The caravan suddenly did this, I'm afraid there is someone behind it. Zhaoyang City is a mixed bag now, and there are people from all kinds of forces."
"I understand, but without the miasma medicine, we can't enter the Demonic Land, and we still have to find the medicine.
And our stronghold cannot be taken over like this, and this revenge must be avenged. If the caravan dares to attack my stronghold this time, he will dare to destroy it next time. That is our base, and it is the place where we fell this time.
The foothold of the trip cannot be lost, and the caravan must be destroyed."
Wang Fugui said calmly.
Han Yun nodded and said nothing.
"Let's go, go back to the base first."
The group of people walked outside. After leaving the restaurant, under the guidance of the injured man, everyone walked towards the south.
When he came to a store on the road in the south of the city, the man stopped.
Han Yun looked up and saw four big characters on the plaque hanging on the door:
"Rich Teahouse".
This teahouse is not small in scale and in a good location. If it were opened in a big city, its business would definitely be prosperous.
But such a small town has a sparse population and backward commerce. Because it is close to the Land of Demonic Fall, caravans all go around it. In such a city with an underdeveloped economy, people are running around for a living every day. How many people are willing to be arty and come to the tea house to have a drink?
Of tea.
To open such a big teahouse here is either because the owners are stupid and spend more money just to have fun, or it's not for the purpose of making money at all.
The man opened the door, and several people came out, took the horses and oxen from everyone's hands, and took them to the backyard, while everyone went in through the gate.
Entering the teahouse, a slightly injured waiter served everyone tea and water. Wang Fugui asked him to stop being busy and just arrange a room to rest.
"Qingyu, let's go over and pick up that caravan and get our medicine back. We can't go into the Demonic Land without medicine."
Han Yun nodded to show his agreement.
The guards immediately stood up and wanted to go with them. Wang Fugui waved his hand and said,
"No need, they are just a bunch of low-class thieves. Qingyu and I can handle them enough. It's useless for you to go there. If there are people who can't even be dealt with by us, you will die if you go there. Just stay here and rest."
Wang Fugui cherishes the lives of his subordinates and treats his subordinates very well, so others are willing to follow him.
Yang Linlin stood up, pulled out the short knife from her waist, and said,
"If you want to kill people, you can go too."
Qi Xiaoyu also stood up and picked up the long bow behind his back.
"What are you two girls doing? We are here to kill people, not for fun. Just stay here."
"You have been taking me with you all the way, taking care of my food and accommodation, teaching me martial arts, and not charging me any money. You have been too kind to me. I have done nothing and have not helped you. If you don't let me
If I do something, I will feel very guilty."
Qi Xiaoyu was very serious when she spoke.
Indeed, Qi Xiaoyu really didn't do anything to help her along the way. Han Yun and Wang Fugui were willing to take her with them because they admired her kindness and dedication and saw her good character.
"Oh, I only know how to kill people, but I can't do anything else."
Alas, it is a pity that a good girl was trained to be a professional killer since she was a child.
"Okay, let's go prepare some night clothes. We'll change and set off."
"Okay."
Soon, the waiter brought four sets of night clothes and gave them to them.
Han Yun and Wang Fugui went to a room to change clothes, and the two women went to the other two rooms.
"Haha, who would have thought that Qing Daxia, a dignified fourth-level master, would secretly carry a small pony gang at night. If he told me, he would be laughed at by the Jianghu people."
Wang Fugui said with a smile while changing his clothes.
"Yeah, who would have thought that the dignified sixth prince, the chief rudder of the Fugui Chamber of Commerce, would actually do such a thing?"
