Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

The next morning, Shen Yian, Yin Zai and Zhu Long set out first to the vicinity of Tiancang Mountains. Shen Jun, E Lai, Yin Hu and others led the hidden soldiers and followed in several groups. The remaining three, Fu Sheng, Qing Yu and Gui Mian, stayed at the horse farm, waiting for Xuan Xing and Qian Jie to arrive. After they had rested at the horse farm, they caught up with the main force together.

Tiancang Mountains.

Shen Yian simply disguised himself as a fur merchant. Zhulong and Yinzai naturally became his guards. The three of them and the carriage slowly entered a village. The action was set at night, and during the day they would try to collect more information about the mountain.

"What's wrong, my lord? Are you worried about something?"

Inside the carriage, Zhulong saw his highness frowning and asked in a deep voice.

"No, I'm thinking about something."

Shen Yian shook his head. The reason he frowned was because Lan Die's position had been moving. Since leaving the Tiancang Mountains, it has been heading south. This direction is most likely heading towards Tianwu City.

There must be someone from the Huangfu family following Lan Die. Why did the Huangfu family follow her to Tianwu City? To investigate the reason why Huangfu Congyun disappeared?

If they wanted to investigate, they should have sent people to Tianwu City a long time ago. And why would they bring Lan Die, a burden, along? It can't be that they came just to visit Lan Mengji.

However, there is another possibility, which is to go find King Guangyang Shen Xun. The city where the other party is located is very close to Tianwu City and the direction is similar. He thinks the probability of going to find Shen Xun is the greatest.

Sending Lan Die to Shen Xun, does that mean they will get married soon?

Shen Yian couldn't help but sneer. He didn't know how many members of the Huangfu family would be accompanying them this time. So he would go and deal with them on the way back, and also visit Lan Die and his cousin whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Their village chief is here."

The carriage slowly stopped, and the voice of Yin Zai was heard soon after.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Hearing this, Zhulong walked out first and helped his prince to open the curtain.

When they heard that merchants were coming to the village to buy furs, many villagers rushed over. Most of them were hunters. If the other party could offer a good price, they would definitely not miss the opportunity.

"You want to buy furs?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a totem necklace around his neck, surrounded by many villagers. He was a hunter and also the village chief. He had learned to read and worship a master, and could do arithmetic. Most villagers would ask him to help with the accounting when they sold furs.

"That's right, our Chamber of Commerce wants to purchase furs." Shen Yian got out of the car and pointed at the Chamber of Commerce's flag on the carriage.

“Are you coming so early this year?”

The middle-aged man asked in confusion, every year most of the merchants who buy furs come before winter, when the autumn hunting has just ended and every household has a lot of animal furs. The prices at that time will be relatively cheaper, and the profits can be higher when they are made into clothes and sold. Don’t these merchants value profits the most?

"We heard that the mountain god is going to close the mountain. We don't know how long it will be closed. We also heard that the hunters in your village are good and the furs are of good quality, so we quickly came to buy some so that we can report to our boss."

Shen Yian said with a smile, and deliberately called him "Lord Mountain God". He also complimented the villagers, intending to let them let down their guard and bring them closer.

"You are not from Northern Xinjiang, are you?" The middle-aged man asked again after listening to Shen Yian's accent.

Shen Yian nodded: "Yes, I am not from Northern Xinjiang. My hometown is in Jingzhou. This is my first time in Northern Xinjiang."

Seeing such a sincere answer, and the other party's eyes giving him a very sincere feeling, the middle-aged man winked at the side, telling the villagers that Shen Yian might really be a businessman who came to buy furs, and they could relax their vigilance.

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Please forgive me. There have been many outsiders with ulterior motives coming here recently, so I asked a lot of questions."

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Yian waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"plz follow me."

The middle-aged man extended his hand in invitation.

Zhulong stayed behind to guard the carriage, while Yinzai followed Shen Yian and the middle-aged man to a yard.

On the way, the middle-aged man briefly introduced himself. His name was Zhang Chuan, and Shen Yian borrowed Song Jinhuan's name.

After entering the house, with the heater lit and the tea ready, Zhang Chuan didn't waste any time and directly asked Shen Yian about the prices of various furs.

Since it's a show, it has to be comprehensive. The Fur Merchants have always been making purchases, and there will naturally be a price list for each year. Shen Yian has prepared all of this.

After hearing the offer, Zhang Chuan shook his head somewhat embarrassedly: "The price is a bit low."

Shen Yian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Village Chief Zhang, do you think other people would be able to pay this price? It's true that the mountain god wants to close the mountain, but furs are not only available here. We can still purchase them from other areas."

The price he offered was already higher than the average purchase price, and the other party was very clear about it. In other words, if they missed this opportunity, they would miss it forever.

Zhang Chuan smiled awkwardly. If he could sell it, he naturally hoped to sell it at a high price. It was precisely because of the mountain closure that their winter had many more uncertainties. So he wanted a higher price to make this winter more bearable, at least to prevent people from starving to death.

Shen Yian suddenly sighed, expressed sympathy and understanding for the villagers' situation, and told them about his family situation. His father was also a hunter, and they were destined to be together. So he decided to use his own money to increase the purchase price of the furs.

This touched Zhang Chuan so much that his eyes turned red and his gaze towards Shen Yian became even softer. His gratitude was beyond words. He insisted on asking Shen Yian to stay for dinner and let them treat him well.

The subsequent fur purchasing process went very smoothly. Almost all the furs in the village were bought by Shen Yian, and the villagers warmly entertained them.

After three rounds of drinking, the drunk Zhang Chuan dragged Shen Yian to the small hillside west of the village. From here, they could just see the Tiancang Mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, with one mountain after another, one peak upon another, very spectacular.

Here Zhang Chuan poured out a lot of words, even including his dissatisfaction with the mountain god. He felt that the mountain god had enslaved the villagers, because this so-called mountain god did not appear with the Tiancang Mountains. According to records, it was an existence that suddenly emerged hundreds of years ago, occupied the Tiancang Mountains, and made people believe in it.

This surprised Shen Yian. According to the plan, at this stage, he was ready to trick the other party. He never expected that the other party would tell him everything, and what he said seemed to be secrets. Was he trying to fall asleep and get a pillow?

There is an important piece of information here. Recently, strange noises have been heard from time to time in the Tiancang Mountains. Zhang Chuan believes that this is the reason why the mountain god wants to close the mountain, but it is unknown what the strange noises are.

The reason why Zhang Chuan dared to say all this was, firstly, because he was drunk, secondly, because his father died because of the mountain god, and thirdly, because Shen Yian was an outsider, and the two of them got along well, and the other was very suitable to be a listener.

It’s ironic to think that the God he believed in all his life eventually became the cause of his death.

He had lost his faith after his father's death, and had never established any connection with the mountain god. The prayer ceremonies that the hunters in the village had to perform when they went up the mountain to hunt were all performed with the help of other elders in the village.

"Thank you." Shen Yian suddenly said thank you.

"Thank you for what? I should thank you for listening to all these inexplicable words from me."

The cold wind blowing in from the mountains blew away some of Zhang Chuan's drunkenness. He did not regret saying those words. Instead, he felt as if the stone weighing on his heart was gone, and he felt inexplicably relieved.

Shen Yian smiled slightly, feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, and did not reply.
