Wei Wuji and Shen Ye walked back to the inn while chatting. At this time, everyone in the Shen family's caravan gathered in the lobby again, obviously anxious about whether Wei Wuji and Shen Ye could successfully get the black gold business. I was so restless that I couldn't stay in the guest room at all.

The innkeeper and the waiter were already used to the behavior of the caravan members. It was okay for the caravan members to sit in the lobby. This would make the inn appear popular. Otherwise, the inn lobby would be a bit deserted. .

As soon as Wei Wuji and Shen Ye entered the inn, everyone in the caravan immediately turned their attention to them. When they saw the bandages wrapped around Wei Wuji's arms, their expressions suddenly changed.

They had previously learned from Wei Wuji and Shen Ye that if they wanted to do business with the Black Kingdom, they first needed to defeat the people under the King of the Black Kingdom. But now that Wei Wuji's arms were tied up, they could tell at a glance. He suffered quite a lot of injuries. Could it be that this trip has been declared a failure?

Everyone in the Shen family's caravan was dumbfounded, and one of the caravan stewards simply stood up and took the initiative to say: "Miss, victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. Even if we can't compete with the Black Country this time, To complete the black gold transaction, I have other preparations in the Liuli Kingdom, so you must not take this matter to your heart."

Hearing what the steward said, all the other caravan members also reacted. If the business really didn't work out, of course they had to comfort the eldest lady first.

So the rest of the people also followed suit and said, "Yes, Miss, what the rich manager said is right. Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. Since they don't want to do business with us, the worst we can do is find another place to do it. Can you Don’t take it personally.”

Shen Ye frowned slightly when he heard this and asked coldly: "Why, it seems that you all hope that I can't do this business, right?"

Everyone in the caravan was stunned by Shen Ye's question. The steward who spoke first also replied in a daze: "No, the main reason is that we are afraid that you will be hit. I think back when the master went to Liuli Kingdom for trade for the first time. It's not all smooth sailing, this time you..."

Halfway through the words, the steward suddenly reacted and asked with surprise and joy: "Miss, what do you mean by this, is that you have already negotiated this business?"

Seeing everyone in the caravan looking at him with hopeful eyes, Shen Ye glanced at everyone lightly, raised his head and said: "Of course, we have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Black Country, there is no reason to return empty-handed, the King of the Black Country He Suiweiwu has agreed to trade black gold with us freely in the black country."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Shen family's caravan jumped for joy and cheered. Even the shopkeeper and the waiter put their heads over and asked curiously: "Girl, what did you mean when I heard your words just now?" Has the royal family allowed you to freely buy and sell black gold within the Black Country?”

Although Shen Ye didn't understand what her doing business with the Black King's royal family had to do with ordinary people like the shopkeeper and the waiter, but since the two asked questions in a good manner, Shen Ye didn't show a cold face, but nodded. Yes.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper and the waiter immediately started cheering when they saw Shen Ye nodding. The cheers were even louder than the cheers of the Shen family's caravan just now. Those who didn't know thought that the two of them were allowed to go with him. The Black King's royal family is doing business.

When Steward Shen Jiafu saw this, he asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, we are doing business with the Black King's royal family. Why are you so happy? You must know that the money from buying and selling black gold will not flow to your hands."

After the shopkeeper was happy, he saw that everyone in the inn was looking at him, so he explained: "Of course there is a reason why I am so happy. You are all from the Davidic dynasty, although you must have been there before you came.

I have a detailed understanding of the Black Country, but there must be many things you don't know.

As you all have seen, there is only one city in the Black Kingdom, and the population of the entire country is roughly the same. Although the army always has soldiers coming in and out, the number is generally fixed and will not change, and the black gold supplied to the army is also

They all follow the number of troops and have hardly changed over the years.

However, the Black Country has never delayed the mining of black gold over the years. Therefore, over the years, the amount of black gold mined has far exceeded the needs of the army. Even if the black gold needed by dignitaries is also deducted,

There is still too much black gold left, but with so much remaining black gold, the royal family has no intention of selling it.

You must also know that the location of the Black Country can only be regarded as a barren land in the Western Region. It is difficult for us to support ourselves. In the early years, the Black Country relied on attacking other countries to plunder gold, silver and food.

, Only in this way can the Black Country gradually become richer. However, with the ban on Tantric Buddhism and the Great Rakshasa Sect, the Black Country's economy has become increasingly declining, and it can be said that it is getting worse year by year.

As a result, the treatment enjoyed by workers who mine black gold is naturally getting worse year by year. Now the king has finally allowed the accumulated black gold to be exchanged for silver. When the royal family's inventory becomes rich, the workers who mine black gold will surely be better off.

The benefits I enjoy will also be improved, which is why I am so happy."

Shen Ye and others did not expect that Black Gold actually had such a reason, but Shen Ye still had some doubts about it, saying: "Oh, it turns out that Black Gold has such a connection, but will your royal family improve these workers?

I can't guarantee the treatment.

But shopkeeper, what does this have to do with you? You are not a worker who mines black gold. What does their treatment have to do with you? Shopkeeper, please don’t tell me that you still have a compassionate heart."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a bit of embarrassment: "No way, if I really had that intention, I wouldn't open an inn. To tell you the truth, although I am not a worker who mines black gold, my son is,

So you said that improving the treatment of black gold mining workers has nothing to do with me?"

Shen Ye frowned and asked with some confusion: "Shopkeeper, you have said that the treatment of these black gold mining workers is getting worse and worse. Although your inn is not a big business, it is not bad either.

Why let your son do that hard work?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Oh, do you think I do? In fact, mining black gold used to be a good job, but with the decline of the black country's economy, fewer and fewer people took the initiative to do this job.

.

But no one wanted to go, and someone had to mine black gold, so the royal family issued an order to arrest people to mine black gold. Unfortunately, my son and this guy’s brother were both arrested. They wanted to do it.

You are not allowed to go home until three years have passed.

So I think that once black gold begins to circulate and the royal family becomes rich, the treatment of workers who mine black gold will be improved, and it may return to the time when everyone was rushing to do it. In that case, my son might not be able to do it earlier.

Come back, even if you can't come back early, it's always good to get more money."

Is this how the Black Kingdom actually mines black gold? Wei Wuji also frowned when he heard this and asked: "Shopkeeper, since no one wants to do the job of mining black gold, then when the royal family is looking for young men, won't you?

Hiding, or resisting a little bit?"

When the shopkeeper heard what Wei Wuji said, his expression immediately changed. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he dared to approach Wei Wuji and whispered: "Young man, these words come out of your mouth and enter into my mouth."

It ends after you hear it, and don't say it anymore for others to hear.

Although no one wants to do the work of mining black gold now, if no one really mines black gold, the Black Country will not be far away from being destroyed. What Tantra and the Great Rakshasa Sect value is the Black Gold of the Black Country.

, it’s just that these two major sects are at odds with each other, and no one can overpower the other, which is why the black gold is still in the hands of the royal family. But if the black gold is gone, do you think it is still necessary for the two major sects to allow the black country to exist?

The method of hiding that you mentioned is feasible, but once you hide, you will hide for a lifetime. Once you show up, you will be hunted by the army. We are all natives of the Black Country. How can we not show up in the Black Country for the rest of our lives? As for resistance,

Didn't you hear about the achievements of the Black Kingdom's army before you came to the Black Kingdom?

They can travel across the Western Regions unimpeded, so they are not beings that ordinary people like me can mess with. What's more, even if they are captured, they will only be mining black gold for three years. They can come back after three years, and no one will die.

Why risk your life for this? You are just admitting that you are unlucky."

Wei Wuji, Shen Ye and others felt a little unable to understand what the shopkeeper said, because although the Davidic Dynasty was not founded for a long time, it had only had three emperors so far, and there was the Western Region to the west and the Southern Border to the south.

There was another dynasty in the world, the Great Court Dynasty, to the east, but overall, the Davidic Dynasty was a quite peaceful country.

What's more, the Davidic Dynasty has a vast land and a prosperous population. There is no attempt to capture the strong men in anything. Even the soldiers in the Davidic Dynasty's army need to be screened. Those with weaker strength cannot enter the army at all, and

Why is it necessary to capture young men?

But if you don't understand, you don't understand. Wei Wuji and Shen Ye have no intention of meddling in other people's business. They just asked casually. Wei Wuji had just been seriously injured by Lu Shui's knife on both arms, but they had no interest in it because of Hei Guo's own affairs.

Go provoke these masters from the Black Country again, otherwise the loss may not be as simple as two arms.

Both parties were thinking about something because of what they just said, and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while. Seeing this, Manager Fu took the initiative to change the topic and asked Shen Ye: "Miss, you can't blame us for thinking wrong.

The main reason is that since you have successfully negotiated a business deal with the Black King's royal family, why is Wei Shaoxia's arm still covered with bandages?"

Shen Ye was thinking about what the shopkeeper had just said about catching young men. When he heard Manager Fu's question, he first looked back at Wei Wuji's bandaged hands, and then replied angrily: "You think He Sui's test as a martial artist is so easy?"

Can you pass? Do you know who Wuji competed with in the Black King's Palace?"

Manager Fu and all the members of the Shen family's caravan shook their heads honestly and said, "I don't know."

Shen Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It's Lu Shui Yi Dao, the general of the Zhu Kingdom of the Black Kingdom, a warrior in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm. How about you try to fight next time?"

After hearing this, Guanshi Fu and all the members of the Shen family's caravan immediately changed their expressions and said in shock: "A warrior in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm? Doesn't that mean that except for the master, no one in the Shen family can defeat this great general of the Zhu Kingdom, Wei Shaoxia? It really surprised us that we were able to defeat such a strong enemy. As for what the lady said about us going up there and giving it a try, let’s not mention it again. We are businessmen and we are good at talking about business. We are not good at fighting. .”

With an expression on Shen Ye's face that said, "I knew you were going to say this," he explained: "Indeed, with the strength shown by Lu Shui's sword, only Grandpa in our Shen family can suppress him, but don't make any mistake, Wuji can There is no way to defeat Lu Shui with one sword.

The rules of the competition set by He Sui for Wu are that as long as Wuji can hold up a stick of incense under Lu Shui's sword, we will win. And Wuji succeeded, so we can get this business, but the price is two His arm was cut by Lu Shui with a knife.

Just to avoid worrying you, I didn't dare to delay for a moment after Wuji and I took care of the wound, and rushed back immediately. But it turned out that you didn't trust us two, and thought we didn't succeed. It's really disappointing. "

When the shopkeeper heard what Shen Ye said, he couldn't help but gave Wei Wuji a thumbs up and said: "General Lu Shui's illustrious reputation is like thunder in the black country. Sir, you can actually persevere under General Lu Shui." It’s really not easy to be undefeated with just one stick of incense.”

At this time, everyone in the Shen family's caravan scratched their heads in shame, and then, under the leadership of Manager Fu, they all stood up, bowed solemnly to Wei Wuji, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Young Master Wei, for standing up for me, the Shen family. After we return to Changping Mansion, we will report the truth to you and your uncle, Young Master Wei, please rest assured."

Wei Wuji couldn't move his hands, so he could only smile and said: "There is no need to pay such a big courtesy to me. I am willing to help the Shen family. Besides, I only suffered some injuries on my arm. I will be fine after a few days of rest. It's not a big deal."

Besides, competing with masters is one of my hobbies. If there is a chance to compete with masters like Lu Shuiyida, I will agree even if it is not for the Shen family."

Seeing that the caravan still didn't get up, Shen Ye said angrily: "Okay, everyone, get up, everything has been done, it doesn't matter whether you thank me or not.

Wuji has an injury on his hand. I'm going to go upstairs with him to rest. You guys should rest more today and recharge your batteries. You'll be busy in the next few days. Uncle Rich, Uncle Noble, you two will accompany me tomorrow. Go to the Prince's Mansion and discuss carefully the matter of buying and selling black gold with He Suiweigong."

When everyone in the caravan heard what Shen Ye said, they straightened up from their salutes. The two stewards of the caravan, Shen Fu and Shen Gui, also nodded in agreement. Shen Ye nodded and returned to the building with Wei Wuji. superior.
