"No way? Is there going to be a war?" He Tongxin asked in confusion and panic.

Lu Chen turned his head and saw that the price of the medicinal herb had been rising. He frowned and said, "Although I have confirmed the price and the time limit for seeing it, I haven't figured out the scope of the influence."

"So it may not be our side, but what is confirmed is that there is a war coming." He Tongxin's face also became serious.

"Let's take a look again. I'll send people out to inquire more these days." Lu Chen looked at the herbs and said.

"I hope there will be no war." He Tongxin said softly, and Lu Chen was naturally unwilling. He said, "I will also write to Xu Zhengrong to ask if there is any news from the capital, and I will also remind him by the way."

He Tongxin naturally nodded in agreement.

The two of them didn't look at the herbs, and went home directly.

In the evening, Lu Chen wrote a letter to Xu Zhengrong, and got He Lanqin to give him money, and asked him to take his subordinates to go around far away to inquire about news.

He Lanqin and the others were a little excited when they heard that there might be a battle.

"The Helan family grew up on wars. Compared with other things, wars are their bread and butter." He Tongxin said helplessly.

Lu Chen comforted him a few words, and thought for a while, even if they fought, they would not hit their remote village first, so he felt a little more at ease.

After waiting for a few more days, He Lanqin and the others also came back, saying that they had walked around a lot and hadn't heard any news about the war.

Lu Chen smiled helplessly, then went to look at the herb field, and found that the price of the herb had also dropped.

"Maybe they almost got into a fight, and someone persuaded them later, so let's stop fighting." Lu Chen said awkwardly as if he had made a small oolong.

"It's always good to be careful." He Tongxin put the things prepared for Lu Chen on the carriage.

"Then I'm leaving, and you should be careful at home, and if you feel something is wrong, ask someone to call me back." Lu Chen told He Tongxin a few words.

"Well, you can go." He Tongxin sent Lu Chen away with a smile.

Lu Chen got into the carriage and rushed all the way to Dongjin County. When he first arrived, he was taken to Dongjin County to give Master Yong an injection.

"Master Yong is in much better health now, the county lord is very grateful to you." The person in charge said to Lu Chen when he saw Lu Chen come out.

Lu Chen smiled, and came out of the county lord's mansion without saying much.

As soon as he came out, he was invited out for tea by several businessmen in Dongjin County.

After all, Lu Chen also intervened in the middle and made a fortune between Dongjin and the Qingshui County businessman, so he was embarrassed to go directly at this time, and he just said that there were too many things in the store and he didn't go there.

When he arrived at the store, the Ma brothers and sisters had been busy for several days and did not go home seriously.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Chen went to take the counter and let Ma Qiuhua go to rest first.

Lu Chen buried his head in paying the bills, and when he looked up, it was almost dark.

"Chunlai, you should go home and rest." Lu Chen sent Ma Chunlai home to rest, and took the shop assistants to check the goods a little bit, and found that it was time to buy again.

"It seems that I really don't pay much attention to the store recently." Lu Chen didn't expect that he missed so much work here.

By the time I made a rough summary of the work, it was almost midnight.

The meal was already cold, and He Lanqin's men went to rest, so he had to soak it in hot water for a while.

After he had eaten, he remembered the package He Tongxin had made for him, and when he opened it, there was still food.

Lu Chen smiled, picked up what he could eat, and ate, before lying down and falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Chunlai came over. Lu Chen had already sorted out the latest accounts, and he was talking with Ma Chunlai while reconciling the accounts.

The two talked for a while, and the guests had already started to enter the door.

Lu Chen watched Ma Chunlai and his buddies start to work. They were all familiar hands, so he relaxed a little.

"Is Boss Lu there?" Just as he was talking, businessmen from Dongjin County had already come to look for him.

Lu Chen raised his spirits and answered for a while, only to realize that he was invited to have dinner at the restaurant at night.

Lu Chenhao said that the store was busy and he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree with a bitter face.

"Then I'll go." Lu Chen finished his work early and led He Lanqin's men towards the restaurant.

When he first entered, he looked at the delicate girl standing next to the seat, Lu Chen only said that the family is amazing and there is no need to take care of him.

The people next to him laughed.

"You don't want to make trouble with him. Speaking of which, he is still the youngest here, and his skin is still tender." The leader of the merchants in Dongjin County came out and spoke to save Lu Chen.

Lu Chen thanked him smoothly and then talked about the dagger that these few gave to his brother and his wife.

"I just said that you just send things indiscriminately, even if they are more powerful, you can't just send a dagger there." Someone present laughed and cursed.

"It's nothing. My family likes it very much. I just want to ask why there is no sheath. It's a pity." Lu Chen wanted to ask He Tongxin about the origin of this thing.

"I don't know about the scabbard. I bought that thing when I went to the south." A businessman said.

Lu Chen didn't want to ask too many questions, so he changed the subject and talked about the businessman in Qingshui County being bitten this time.

"It's really enjoyable!" Several businessmen said with high spirits and kept asking for wine.

Lu Chen could only drink a few drinks with him, and finally went back to the store, and went to buy goods early the next day with a hangover.

But when he got to the place where he bought the goods, Lu Chen was shocked when he saw it. He found that the price and value of the clothes here were constantly falling, especially on a certain day after half a month, the price was immediately cut off. Wire.

Lu Chen was standing in the busy street, suddenly a chill came up.

His heart was beating wildly, he put down the goods in his hand, and led He Lanqin's men around, and found that the prices of everything except food and other necessities were falling.

"What's wrong with the boss? Lost the silver?" The guy who came to buy the goods saw Lu Chen's bewildered look, and hurriedly asked with concern.

Lu Chen waved his hand. He led people out of the city and walked for about a day, only to find that the prices of things did not fluctuate so much.

"That means someone will attack that city." The more Lu Chen thought about it, the more accurate he felt.

He slept for about two hours at night, got up early in the morning, wrote a letter in other handwriting early, and asked He Lanqin's men to throw it into the government office, and then got a large sheet of paper and pasted it secretly in the city Several streets above.

"Stay here and watch the situation. When the time comes, you can remind as many companies as possible." Lu Chen told one of He Lanqin's men.

Although the subordinate thought that Lu Chen was crazy, he obediently stayed.

After Lu Chen came out of that city, he had been observing the prices of the goods along the way. He found that the closer to Dongjin County, the smaller the price fluctuations, but the prices of food and other necessities did increase a lot.

However, he walked all the way in this way, and the original two or three days' journey turned into five or six days. When he arrived in Dongjin County, Ma Chunlai found that he had been waiting for several days, but his boss hadn't brought him anything.

"Missing the silver?" Ma Chunlai asked anxiously.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I had a bad dream, and this trip won't do anything good, so I didn't buy anything."

"Ah? What about the business in the store?" Ma Chunlai was completely speechless.

"I'll rest for a few days after the sale. The proprietress is about to have a baby. I have to go home and take good care of the proprietress." Lu Chen didn't say anything to Ma Chunlai, and let him do it. Take a break by yourself.

After explaining to Ma Chunlai, Lu Chen went to the county from the east to drive home.

"Why are you back at this time?" He Tongxin was also surprised to see Lu Chen come back.

"I know which place is going to fight, Tongxin." Lu Chen looked at He Tongxin with a tired face and said.

He Tongxin was taken aback, he stretched out his hand to grab Lu Chen and entered the room.

Lu Chen told He Tongxin where he found and what he did.

"If that's the case, it's almost a few days." Sitting there, He Tongxin said in a low voice.

Lu Chen glanced at He Tongxin and said, "I spent 1000 taels of silver to buy grain along the way. It would be fine if there was no war. If there was a war, I would disperse the grain. This is the most I can do. , if I buy it again, I’m afraid that someone will find me.”

"The only thing I hope now is that the people over there can see your reminder." He Tongxin looked at Lu Chen's painful eyes and said softly.

After saying this, the two of them still felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Let me hug you." Lu Chen stretched out his arms to hug He Tongxin.

The next day, Xu Zhengrong's letter came, and the letter only replied with one line: "Recently, I seldom go to the south, but there are Black Soul Army over there, so don't worry."

When Lu Chen saw this line, he knew that the imperial court might still have some precautions, and he was relieved.

"Isn't the Black Soul Army that Chu Han's aunt?" He Tongxin suddenly remembered.

Lu Chen also remembered the black-armored general who came to his house and knocked on the door, thinking that there should be no big trouble with this kind of person.

"I'm going to see the herbal medicine field." Lu Chen went to see the herbal medicine field in the morning. What made him happy was that although the price of herbal medicine had still risen, it had dropped a lot compared to before.

"Great." He Tongxin also patted Lu Chen excitedly.

The news came quickly, and He Lanqin's men ran out from there and went directly to Lu Chen, saying that there was indeed a fight, but because of Lu Chen's previous sticker reminder, after all, the government here also stepped up their patrols.

"It's a water bandit, but it doesn't look like an ordinary one, it seems someone raised it." He Lanqin's subordinates thought for a while and said.

"What happened afterwards?" Lu Chen was still a little sad when he heard that even so, many people had been killed or injured.

"Then some kind of black soul army came over. It was really cruel. None of the water bandits caught survived." He Lanqin's subordinates felt that the scene was too cruel.

"Why would such a good-looking water bandit suddenly want to rob?" He Tongxin asked in bewilderment.

"Then I don't know." He Lanqin's subordinates also shook their heads to express that they didn't know, and then asked curiously how Lu Chen knew there was going to be a war.

Lu Chen only said that he had learned fortune-telling from his master, and that he had had nightmares for three consecutive days, so he said it vaguely.

"In the future, this kind of thing really needs to be taken care of less." Now that Lu Chen thinks about it, he is a little scared. It's okay to remind him once, but if he says it twice or three times, he may be suspected by others. Bring disaster to the door.

"I underestimate the people here." Lu Chen reflected on himself, thinking about how nervous he was at that time, but wasn't the court already prepared for it.

"Don't worry about it. Life and death are matters of life, and you can't take care of them all." Seeing that Lu Chen was still absent-minded, He Tongxin went over to comfort Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled, and said, "I feel sorry for my 1000 taels of silver, and because of this I haven't purchased any, which has delayed a lot of business."

"Forget it, let's think of it as accumulating blessings for our children." He Tongxin sighed.

Lu Chen looked at He Tongxin's swollen belly and said, "In the end, I don't want our child to face a whole day of fighting when he comes out."

"That's right, it's too difficult for a child to live in a war." He Tongxin stroked his stomach and said with far-sighted eyes.

"Then let's put this matter aside for now. Let's concentrate on raising the baby. After the baby is born, I'll open the door for business." Lu Chen said with a sigh.
