The rivers and lakes are full of local tyrants
Chapter 88 The Fur Trader,
"I didn't notice any movement before." The dark guard said, "The opponent's speed is very fast, and we only had time to see a black shadow flash, and our people have already chased it."
"Notify, everyone should strengthen their guard." Qin Shaoyu ordered.
"Yes." The dark guard took the order and withdrew.Shen Qianling huddled in Qin Shaoyu's arms, trembling slightly.
"Scared," Qin Shaoyu asked gently.
Shen Qianling bitterly said, "No, it's cold." He was taking a hot shower when he was suddenly lifted out of the water. He couldn't stand it. This is the Northeast, where the dripping water freezes to death.
Qin Shaoyu laughed, hugged him again and put him back in the bathtub, walked to the pillar and pulled out the sharp arrow with his hand.
"Which one is it from?" Shen Qianling asked while lying on the edge of the barrel.
"I can't see it." Qin Shaoyu threw the arrow aside, took a thick blanket and hung it in front of the window, just blocking the small hole to prevent the wind from blowing in.
"What's the purpose?" Shen Qianling wondered.
"Naturally to attract our attention." Qin Shaoyu said, "As for the rest of the purpose, I don't know."
"Will it have something to do with that ingot of gold?" Shen Qianling guessed.
"I don't know." Qin Shaoyu stepped into the bathtub again, pulled him into his arms and sat down, and wiped his body carefully.
After a while, the dark guard came to report, saying that the other party was very good at qinggong and was familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he did not catch up.
This was expected, so Qin Shaoyu was not too harsh.After all, since the opponent had the guts to come, he was naturally well prepared, otherwise he would be too stupid to shoot an arrow and be captured.
"As soon as I arrived in the Northeast, it didn't stop." Shen Qianling groaned, inevitably thinking of the vixen again.
"That's right." Qin Shaoyu agreed seriously, "I simply don't want to stay for a day longer."
Shen Xiaoshou squatted down again, letting the hot water flow over his shoulders—for this trip to the Northeast, Qin Shaoyu specially spent a lot of money to buy him a fiery stone, put it behind the bathtub, and the water would not disappear for an hour. It will be cold.
"Forget it, I'll think about these annoying things tomorrow." Shen Qianling closed her eyes, "Press my shoulder for me."
Qin Shaoyu threw the handkerchief aside, slowly rubbed his shoulders for him, then moved his hands down in a logical way, and began to play hooligans recklessly.Probably due to being well-raised, Shen Qianling's whole body is very slippery, like the best brocade, which makes people unable to stop - what's more, there is a little fat on the belly, which is worth touching for an entire hour!
"Annoying." Shen Xiaoshou blamed lazily.
"It's Ling'er who is so likable." Qin Shaoyu put his earlobe in his mouth, and raised his body with his hands, "Hey, let's continue with the things we didn't finish in the carriage during the day."
"How dare you mention the carriage!" Shen Qianling was furious, what's so good about pretending to be obsessed? It's worth talking about again and again.
Then in the next second, he was dropped by ummm!
It was really brutal.
Because Qin Gong's main body strength is too good, Shen Qianling will only get up at noon the next day after each errand, and the little chrysanthemum is in slight pain.
"Show me my husband?" Qin Shaoyu was playing a hooligan.
Look at your size!Shen Qianling slapped him away, and sat on the edge of the bed to put on his shoes, "Did you tell the eldest brother about the attack last night?"
"Naturally." Qin Shaoyu nodded, "I also showed them that sharp arrow, but I couldn't find any marks on it either in terms of material or shape."
"If this is the case, then we will have to wait." Shen Qianling said, "Obviously the other party will not just stop like this, and there will definitely be another move."
Qin Shaoyu nodded and helped him tidy up his clothes. "It's snowing heavily ahead again. I heard that even the road is covered by snow. We may not be able to walk for a while."
"That's just right." Shen Qianling said, "The unidentified gold ingots in the pile of firewood, and the sharp arrow from last night, even if the road is not broken, we probably won't be able to go. Now it's time to use the heavy snow as an excuse."
"Palace Master, Young Master." While the two were talking, the hidden guard said from outside, "The innkeeper just came back after checking other businesses."
"Let's go." Shen Qianling said, "It's a good time to come, and take the opportunity to inquire about some things."
"Shouldn't you eat something first?" Qin Shaoyu asked.
"Eat after asking." Shen Qianling walked downstairs.
After the dark guards heard it, they all lost their heat. In order to maintain the stability of the Jianghu, my wife would not hesitate to sleep and forget food, which made us all very distressed.
"Palace Master Qin, Mr. Shen." The owner of Jinli Inn is called Wu Jin. Although he looks a bit cunning, he is a nice person. Otherwise, Shen Qianling would not have paid attention to him when he was in Yunlan City.
"Boss Wu." Shen Qianling sat across from him with a smile, "Long time no see."
"Yeah, it's been two or three years in a blink of an eye." Seeing the two of them this morning, Wu Jin was obviously in a good mood.
"It's snowing so much, how can Boss Wu run outside?" Shen Qianling said, "There will be danger on the road."
"That can't be helped." Wu Jin sighed and poured him a cup of tea, "This place is no different than in the middle of Sichuan. There are people living in an inn all year round. If there is a heavy snow like now, unless they live in the inn early in the morning Guests, otherwise there will be no business for half a month, and the family has to support their wives and children, so they have to find other ways of living."
"How's the inn business recently?" Shen Qianling asked again.
"It's not bad recently." Wu Jin said, "Before the young master and his party came, my inn had been reserved by a few fur merchants, and they didn't leave until a few days ago."
So maybe that ingot belonged to the fur trader?Shen Qianling and Qin Shaoyu looked at each other, making sure that the other party thought the same as him.
"It's cold in the Northeast. The rich pay a lot of money to buy it, and the poor go to the mountains to hunt it themselves. In any case, they must have a fur coat to keep out the cold, so the business of fur traders is very good." The inventory cannot be sold, as long as we can cross the extreme northern snowfield and go to the border of Raksha country to do trade, a lot of money will be in the account." Although the court has always banned this, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the north has always been popular. It is not surprising that this kind of private trade will appear under the temptation of huge profits.
Shen Qianling just likes Wu Jin, and before he asked himself, he had already said everything, and he couldn't be more cooperative.No one knows what the ingots circulating in the Raksha Kingdom look like, maybe the one picked up by the hidden guard is really the same.
"Does Boss Wu know where those fur traders have gone?" Qin Shaoyu asked, "I want to buy some cloaks for Ling'er so that he won't catch a cold again."
"I don't know about that." The boss shook his head, "They are all used to running around, and some even seldom return home. This time, I don't know why, but they actually stayed here for a month or two."
"Then is there any other place where I can buy good fur?" Qin Shaoyu asked.
"Naturally." Boss Wu nodded, "There is a ready-made clothing store in this city. The owner's name is Jin Yijin. He is considered a big local family. Those fur traders also sell a lot of goods to him."
"It's so good." Qin Shaoyu said, "Then I'll go and have a look in the afternoon. Ling'er is afraid of the cold, and has been suffering from backaches since waking up this morning."
Shen Qianling: ...
Young hero, pick up your integrity!
The backache is clearly because you were too beastly last night, and it has something to do with chills.
Thick-skinned.
During lunch, Shen Qianling told everyone what Boss Wu said in the morning, and then said, "We plan to go and have a look in the afternoon."
"Why don't we all go together?" Ye Jin said, "It's so cold in the Northeast, we have nothing to do here, so it's not strange to go out and choose some furs to keep out the cold."
"That's good." Shen Qianfeng nodded, "Even if those fur traders are just doing business and have nothing to do with Zhou Jue, they are unwilling to sell them to the people of Chu State at a lower price just because they are hoarding a large number of furs and transporting them to the Raksha State. The pain of frost is enough to learn a lesson."
Shen Qianling felt that his brother couldn't be more of a hero.
After eating, everyone boarded the carriage and set off to the tailor shop in the city.
This town is called Snow Wind City, and the environment can be seen from the name.The weather has been bad for the past few days, and the snow is thick on the ground. If ordinary people are okay, no one would want to run out of their homes, so the streets are empty, only the sound of creaking ruts.
"How do the people live in such bad weather?" Shen Qianling hugged the stove and looked out.
"Except for the winter months, there is no problem for the people to be self-sufficient during the rest of the time." Ye Jin said, "When the city is closed by heavy snow, the imperial court will distribute food, oil and clothing to each household, so ordinary people can count on food and clothing. Boss Wu Those who are big businessmen are naturally not satisfied with food and clothing, so they go out to inspect the business in heavy snow, not because they cannot survive."
"That's good." Shen Qianling put down the car curtain, "Actually, you don't have to do anything in winter, and it's good to warm up inside the house."
"Every place has its advantages and disadvantages." Ye Jin said, "Otherwise, the common people would not be so stupid and keep guarding for thousands of years."
While everyone was talking, the carriage had already stopped outside a shop.The boss was sitting behind the counter warming up by the fire, when suddenly he saw a big carriage parked outside the shop, so he hurried out to greet him.Although the people in Fengxue City are not as fond of gossip as they are in Yunlan City, after all, Mr. Shen is also famous all over the world, so it is impossible not to know when he is here.Therefore, the boss guessed the identities of everyone at the first time, and laughed so hard that he almost lost his teeth.
"Boss Jin." Boss Wu of Jinli Inn came out of the pony carriage in front, greeted him with a smile, introduced them one by one, and then turned back to the inn.
"This is really a distinguished guest." The owner of the fur shop, Jin, couldn't help but let everyone into the shop.
"It's so warm." Shen Qianling put down the stove in his hand.
"It's cold outside, but everyone needs to be warm inside the house." Boss Jin said, "Otherwise, no one can stand it."
"Boss Jin really is a big business man." Shen Qianling looked around, "Is the upstairs also a store?"
"Mr. Shen, you are too proud." After being praised, Boss Jin's eyebrows almost flew up, "The first floor is full of ordinary goods, and the second floor is full of good goods, especially a batch of high-quality polar bears just arrived a few days ago. Pi, this way please."
As the boss said, the second floor is much brighter and more spacious than the first floor, and the quality of the fur is indeed extraordinary.
"These are the best items in my shop." The boss brought a few cloaks in person, "There is not a single hair, and if you put a pot of hot water in it, it won't get cold for a long time. It couldn't be more suitable. Mr. Shen is such a fragile little person like crystal."
Shen Qianling's back was numb.
Don't easily expose your past when you read the short story book, my man is very fierce, he can beat people!
"It really is polar bear skin." Huang Daxian was also a little surprised.
"Rare?" Shen Qianling hadn't heard of it before, so he asked.
"This is not an ordinary white bear skin." Huang Daxian said, "There is a kind of bear in the extreme northern snowfield. white bear."
"This young man really has a vision." The boss was also very happy to see someone who knows the goods, "This is a good product. I heard from those fur traders that they suffered a lot in order to beat these bear skins, and were even kidnapped by wild men." .”
"Huh?" Shen Qianling became interested, "There are savages?"
"Notify, everyone should strengthen their guard." Qin Shaoyu ordered.
"Yes." The dark guard took the order and withdrew.Shen Qianling huddled in Qin Shaoyu's arms, trembling slightly.
"Scared," Qin Shaoyu asked gently.
