Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

  Chapter 97 A Request, Fatal Attraction

  Cheng Ling and Tong Mingbo walked to the second floor of Guilin Hall.

  The so-called private rooms on the second floor are actually different from the private rooms that are often found in modern restaurants. The private rooms are not sealed, but are separated into small semi-open spaces by the store’s household screens.

  Tong Mingbo invited Cheng Ling to sit in a small private room by the window, Cheng Ling walked over, but saw a person standing by the window.

This man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes looked out of the window, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he suddenly turned around, and then bowed his hands to Cheng Ling with a hint of joy on his face: "This one, then It's Jade Shura Master Cheng!"

  Cheng Ling cupped his hands and said, "Under Cheng Ling, I don't dare to be a hero like this."

   The other party said quickly: "You can afford it, you can afford it, Daxia Cheng is too self-effacing. Come on, Daxia Cheng, please take a seat."

   said, and led Cheng Ling to the table.

Cheng Ling observed the man without a trace as he walked, and saw that the man looked in his thirties, with two short beards on his lips, and no powder on his face, but his skin was delicate and clean, but his complexion was a little sallow. , with blue shadows in his eyes.

   It can be seen that this is a pampered person, but he must not have a good rest recently.

   When he was talking to Cheng Ling, although he tried his best to smile, he couldn't hide the vague anxiety in his expression.

   Cheng Ling knew immediately that the person who really wanted to ask her for help was not Tong Mingbo, the young master of Guilintang, but the person in front of him!

   Sure enough, Cheng Ling guessed right.

   Several people saluted and sat down, and introduced each other by their common names.

  Cheng Ling soon learned that the name of this short-bearded man of thirty or so was Ran Wenji. Although he was from a degenerate noble family, and now no one in his family is employed, Ran Wenji has special business skills.

  Under his leadership, the Ran family's shops are now all over the Qi Kingdom. On the Chixia City side, some people jokingly call Ran Wenji Ran Bancheng, referring to his wealth, which can be worth half of Chixia City!

A person like    can be regarded as a big man standing at the top of the class. What is there to be so anxious about, and even ask for help from a "reckless warrior" like Cheng Ling?

Tong Mingbo ordered good wine and good food, so he took the initiative to laugh and said: "Cheng Daxia's... takeaway team, huh, right? It's called a takeaway team, right? Seriously, it's a great initiative beyond the previous one! Cheng Daxia's light can bring the dead back to life."

Then, without waiting for Cheng Ling to say anything, he hurriedly said: "Cheng Daxia, they are all good friends, you can't favor one over the other, since Fuxinglou can get an extra breath through your takeaway team, then Xiaoke I, Guilintang, are you? Can't it be?"

  This is a business delivered to your door, and Cheng Ling said: "Of course there is nothing wrong. This is a matter of mutual benefit and mutual win, so what is wrong?"

  Tong Mingbo was a joy, and immediately discussed the details of the cooperation with Cheng Ling.

   For example, how to price, how to draw, how to settle and so on.

  Cheng Ling knew that today's meal still had the highlight of the meal, and the takeaway cooperation discussed by the two parties was just an appetizer.

   She is not in a hurry, in short, one yard is one yard, and she usually responds.

  Soon, the takeaway is over. Tong Mingbo suddenly sighed and said, "Brother Cheng, to be honest, everything is difficult these days. Ordinary people see us in business and do business as if we have some wealth, but they always have a little more speculation about us, but they don't know it. …”

Speaking of which, Tong Mingbo slapped the table lightly, and his tone was filled with righteous indignation: "We also have our own difficulties! The nobles above never take me in their eyes, and every time they give away gifts, they are more powerful than anyone else! "

   "Brother Tong!" Ran Wenji suddenly shouted.

Tong Mingbo realized that he was bluffing, and let go of his hand from the table, then smiled embarrassedly at Cheng Ling, and then said again: "My brother Ran is really helpless this time, he has a batch of goods that originally came from the South China Sea. It was transported over, and when passing through Lu County, I encountered the King of Linhai marching..."

   When he said this, he kept his voice extremely low.

  Cheng Ling suddenly regained his spirits, Tong Mingbo's words were unexpected!

Tong Mingbo lowered his voice and said softly: "Fortunately, the caravan is well-equipped, and there are scouts to investigate. At that time, he hid in the nearby mountains and forests, and was never discovered by the people of King Linhai. But the problem is... After King Linhai retired, he didn't The few skirmishers fled in all directions."

   "My eldest brother Ran's caravan hid in the mountains for a day, but when they were about to leave the mountain, they encountered a remnant army of King Linhai."

"Now, the remnant army has blocked my big brother Ran's caravan in the valley. There is only one road in the valley, and the caravan's leading steward threatened to burn supplies, so this group of remnants failed to break the caravan defense line immediately. "

   "But it's only a matter of time! Scout Maung escaped to report the news, and now it's been half a day since we received the news, the situation is really urgent!"

   Having said this, Tong Mingbo sighed again, and then looked at Cheng Ling with expectant eyes.

   Ran Wenji slowly seemed to be pouring tea for everyone on the table, but his hand squeezed the handle of the teapot tightly, and one ear unconsciously turned to Cheng Ling's side.

  Cheng Lingdao: "Brother Tong, this matter is indeed urgent. However, when encountering such trouble, what should Brother Tong do, Brother Ran, is not to report to the official and ask the government to come forward and help?"

   Ran Wenji's action of pouring tea stopped, Tong Mingbo also paused, and then smiled bitterly: "Theoretically, this should be the case, but as usual, if we ask the government for help, at least half of this batch of goods will be withheld!"

   The county governor is so dark? Cheng Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tong Mingbo leaned slightly, leaned over to Cheng Ling's side across the table, and said softly, "Brother Cheng, this batch of goods is not easy, most of it is food and medicinal materials from the south! Don't look at the price of this food right now. It's fairly stable, but it's bound to rise sharply in the near future."

   "Brother Cheng, if you can help retrieve this batch of goods, Brother Ran, I have prepared it long ago, and I would like to give 20% of the supplies to reward Brother Cheng!"

   Having said that, the drama finally came up.

   A batch of goods that Ran Bancheng cares about so much, how much is 20% of it?

   In particular, they belong to the most important survival materials at the moment, food and medicinal materials!

  Cheng Ling couldn't help but be tempted, and pondered at that time.

  Cheng Ling and Tong Mingbo and others were talking in the restaurant, occasionally mentioning the county governor's office. Coincidentally, several members of the county governor were also talking about Cheng Ling at this time.

  The boat docked, and Yu Nujiao took her maid and servants to retire with Wang Saburo in a deserted manner.

   Wang Saburo had a particularly cold face towards her now, so he waved his hand and allowed her to leave.

  Yu Nujiao left, and Wang Saburo's face became even worse.

Wang Qilang didn't look at his face, he leaned over and said to Guan Yuelin, "Brother Guan, what do I think, how do I think my brother Cheng is really a great talent, why did my uncle insist on pressing Du Yuhou not to give it to him? Now he has done it again. Such a great thing..."

  Wang Qilang said expectantly, "I'll go back and ask my uncle for this reward again. Shouldn't there be a problem?"
