Although how Lian'er survived is still a mystery, at least her identity has been determined.
So, after a day's rest, Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan went down the mountain, returned to Qingshui Town, and went to Yongle City to look for Lian'er.
This time, in addition to Erha, Hong Tailang was also traveling with them to Yongle City.
They stayed close to Lu Bai and never gave Lu Bai a chance to whisper to Gu Qinghuan.
They know very well that if they are negligent at this moment, they will regret it for the rest of their lives, so of course they dare not relax.
Along the way, they were very courteous to Lu Bai, their brother-in-law, and they all wanted to bring Lu Bai closer to them.
In this regard, Erha has an advantage.
Because he had business dealings with Lu Bai, Yanshan was given up by him. Although he couldn't beat him, just because of this entanglement of interests, he could always find business topics to talk to Lu Bai.
Close relationships.
For example: "I know it's not easy for you, brother-in-law, to sell private salt. It's a fool's errand. So this year, brother-in-law, you will be burdened with the money you get from selling salt in Yanshan. You can take an extra 10% to reward your brothers."
Of course Lu Bai was very happy.
But he also knew that Erha was just a bastard, Tian Tian didn't feel bad, it was just that his head was stuck with something underneath, so he couldn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, Erha's words actually brought him unexpected joy.
"Salt mine?" When Hong Tailang heard this, he looked like he had a lot of money, "I have it, and I can make the decision now and give you two mines for my uncle!"
Where is Yongle City?
Yancheng is famous far and near.
Erha's Gray Wolf Clan learned the salt-making craftsmanship in the mountains and forests north of Yongle City.
As the demon king of the mountain forest in the north of Yongle City, Hong Tailang's territory is four times the size of Yongle City, and the most important thing he lacks is salt mines.
"What? A few days ago, Yongle City's West Factory was some kind of East Factory. A group of useless things wanted to rob my two salt mines, but I fought them off." Hong Tailang was quite impressed by Versailles.
He sighed, "Hey, but I have too many salt mines. These two are idle, so I'll give them to my brother-in-law."
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Qinghuan in surprise, and then humbly said: "How can that be done? It's not very good, but since you have already given it, I will be sorry for your kindness if I don't want it."
He did not give Hong Tailang a chance to refuse, "In this way, the business of these two salt mines is the same as that of Yanshan. You make salt and we sell salt. The money earned will be divided according to the work. Monsters live in the mountains and forests, and
It’s not that it’s isolated from the world, there must be a lot of places to use money, so that’s the deal.”
Lu Qinghuan secretly gave Lu Bai a thumbs up, and his face was getting thicker and thicker.
However, I still had a conscience and didn't eat it all.
Hong Tailang agreed.
In addition, Lu Bai also made it clear to Hong Tailang, "I will not agree to give Lian'er to you just because of the business of two salt mines."
Lian'er still has to make up her own mind about who Lian'er likes and who she wants to be with.
Hong Tailang agrees.
He gave Lu Bai two salt mines, not just to make Lu Bai promise Lian'er to him, but to ensure that Lu Bai was fair - he had taken the benefits of both demons, so Lu Bai would not go along sided.
Of course, Hong Tailang also has another purpose for doing this, and that is money.
Lu Bai is right. They are entrenched in the mountains and forests. They are not isolated from the world. There are also many places to spend money. As for the clothes they wear, monsters all like human silk clothes, which are close-fitting and comfortable.
Even clothes made of fur are far better than the fur they get from hunting.
Therefore, clothing alone costs a lot of money every year. But they are not very good at cooperating with others.
Now we are cooperating with Lu Bai to resolve these matters without paying much price.
After all, there is no use for them to keep these salt mines and they can’t eat them all, so they might as well use them to earn money.
Not to mention that Hong Tailang is at a high level, but there are just so many things on his mind.
Erha is different.
He coquettishly told the story about the cooperation, which not only contributed to the cooperation between Big Gray Wolf and Lu Bai, but now he said boldly: "Even if my uncle is not biased, Lian'er will still choose me. Look at your red hair."
, at first glance, he is not a serious monster."
Hong Tailang made a sound of disdain.
He pointed at his red and green outfit, "You know nothing, I am fashionable, just this outfit of mine, paired with my handsome face, and this fiery red hair, I am a handsome man."
.”
"Haha, non-mainstream is pretty much the same." Lu Bai said bluntly.
He felt that if he was really handsome, neither of these two monsters could compare to him.
Ever since he knew that Gu Qinghuan had been secretly interested in him for a long time, Lu Bai's self-confidence exploded. He originally thought that his appearance was about seven to eight, but now he has reached the top, and he has the potential to look down on the world.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Bai said these words, the two wolf monsters all said "Huh" and expressed disdain.
Erha was even more straightforward and said bluntly: "Brother, to be disrespectful, you have a scar on your face -"
He shook his head, "I have nothing to do with Jun. The girl who falls in love with you must have a heart of a Buddha."
"Holy crap!"
Lu Bai didn't expect Erha's mouth to be so bad.
But he didn't argue with it. Instead, he turned to ask Gu Qinghuan, letting facts speak louder than words, "Mr. Gu, do you think what he said is right?"
Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is like a dog and can't spit out ivory. Otherwise, there is something wrong with his eyes. You are much more handsome, especially that scar, which is full of masculinity. They don't understand."
When Lu Bai heard this, he raised his head proudly towards the two demons.
For some reason, Erha and Hong Tailang smelled a strong aroma in the air, similar to the smell of roasting meat, which made them want to eat it.
Hong Tailang inexplicably remembered the dog food he saw in front of the restaurant when he went to the city.
After another seven or eight days of traveling, they returned to Qingshui Town.
Because he arrived at the Human City, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hong Tailang transformed into a man with red hair, who still looked like Zhou Zheng. As for Erha, he was still the same as before, with a pair of wolf ears on his head.
It's not that he doesn't want to change, it's that he can't.
In order to become a human being, he and Lian'er became a match made in heaven, and they put a lot of effort into transforming into human beings.
In the end, I was left with a pair of ears, but I couldn't change them to a satisfactory one, so I just left them.
However, it is easy to cover up, just wear a hat.
In this way, everyone entered Qingshui Town and had a good night's rest at Shunfeng Warehouse.
That night Lu Bai had a big breakthrough.
Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan slept in the same bed.
He smelled the fragrance of Gu Qinghuan after taking a shower, and fell into sleep with a look of intoxication on his face - it wasn't that he was inferior to a beast, it was because he hadn't slept properly on the bed for more than half a month, so he suddenly lay down on it, it was so comfortable, and his whole body was moaning.
I fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, Lu Qinghuan was already arranging his hair on the dressing table.
Because she was going to Yongle City, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, she put on men's clothing and Lu Bai's clothes. Although they were a little loose, they just covered her exquisite figure. Only her buttocks could not hide her pert figure.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Lu Bai put on his clothes and felt that if Gu Qinghuan had a fan in his hand, he would be a handsome young man.
So, Lu Bai handed over his fan.
"go!"
Gu Qinghuan didn't take his fan, just the picture above, if he went out and opened it, even a handsome man would become a gangster.
Lu Bai didn't think so. He had seen too many people who followed their five senses.
They left Qingshui Town and entered Yongle City.
Walking on the streets of Yongle City, Lu Bai sighed as if he was in another world. It had been more than a year since he last visited Yongle City.
Yongle City is still prosperous, and the streets are filled with cars and horses.
When walking across the bridge over the river in the center of the city, Lu Bai saw more painted boats on the river, the sound of musical instruments continued, the river was filled with powder, and the willow trees on both sides became fragrant.
The girls on the boat were all dressed up.
After seeing Gu Qinghuan on the bridge, the girls asked the rowers to come closer to the bridge and waved their handkerchiefs to greet Gu Qinghuan on the bridge.
Lu Qinghuan responded calmly and chuckled from time to time, causing the girls on the boat to scream.
Lu Bai has a very bad taste.
He hugged me around the waist——
The woman on the boat stopped screaming and looked at them in horror.
"go!"
Gu Qinghuan gave Lu Bai a kick.
At this moment, Lu Bai saw an extra boat on the river. The two boats were connected with iron chains and wooden boards. They were floating in the center of the river. From time to time, sweet songs and pink gauze curtains could be heard on the boat.
Blow out from the doors and windows.
Because the ships were connected together, their direction was unstable. The ships nearby were afraid of being hit, so they stayed far away.
"Hey, whose boat is this? It's quite enjoyable." Lu Bai said.
He just said it casually and didn't really inquire, but the girl on a boat under the bridge heard it and said: "The owner of that boat is really awesome, he is the new admiral of the West Factory."
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Oh, this Lord Admiral is really good at playing."
I guess I have too much money and I don’t know how to spend it.
Think about it, taking over the West Factory of Yongle City and taking over the salt affairs of Yongle City is a huge gap.
This admiral is not fat and oily.
Definitely give him a try if you get the chance.
Lu Bai had a bad idea in mind, so he and Gu Qinghuan got off the bridge and went to the Beggar's Gang first.
Lu Bai had a portrait of Lian'er drawn by a fox demon who was good at painting.
Erha and Hong Tailang both said that the painting was lifelike. Lu Bai even saw Erha drooling over the portrait, so the portrait was not too distorted.
Lu Bai gave the portrait to the elders of the Beggar Clan and asked them to search the whole city according to the picture, "This is my sister."
The elder of the Beggar Clan took it and reassured Lu Bai that he would have to dig three feet into the ground to find the gang leader's sister.
"What are you talking about? My sister is not dead. Why are you digging three feet into the ground?" Lu Bai made a little joke.
The elder's face froze, and he thought he had said the wrong thing.
Gu Qinghuan gave Lu Bai a kick and said to the elder: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He has been a little complacent recently."
The elder relaxed and went to do his business with a smile.
After Lu Bai and the others left the beggar gang, under the guidance of Hong Tailang, they headed to the street where the wealthy kid whom he kidnapped lived.
Lu Bai wanted to try his luck to see if the kid from the aristocratic family had come back quietly, or to check on his family to see if they had hidden the kid from the rich family.
All in all, Lu Bai believed that when Lian'er and the rich boy arrived in Rencheng, they would definitely have to contact the rich boy's family. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive at all.
Lu Bai's calculation was very good.
However--
A group of people stood in front of the rich family's mansion under the bright sun, staring at the gate in stunned silence.
Snap!
The burnt plaque on the door fell off, seeming to mock their futility.
The house was burned down.
It was burned cleanly, leaving only a crumbling door.
This crumbling door shows that although this family was not wealthy in the past, it was still a wealthy family.
However, now it is all in the past.
Lu Bai kicked Hong Tailang, "What's going on? Did you get angry because you couldn't find someone and burned them down?"
"Definitely!" Erha agreed.
He said: "Hong Tailang, you are such an idiot. As the saying goes, the green hills are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. If you wait until Lian'er comes back, it won't be too late to burn his house again. This is good.
If you can outrun a monk, you can outrun a nun."
Snapped!
Lu Bai also gave him a kick, "You're not a damn good person, and if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them randomly!"
Hong Tailang said that he was innocent, "It's unfair. I thought the same thing as Erha. I didn't want to burn his house down now."
Under the leadership of Lu Bai, Hong Tailang now also calls Lord Yanshan Lang Erha.
Erha changed the mileage very quickly, "What do you mean it's the same as what I thought? If you are really planning to burn someone's whole family, then you are such a bad person."
Hong Tailang ignored him and continued: "I haven't touched their family even a hair."
In order to prove his innocence, Hong Tailang grabbed a passerby and said, "Hey, brother, what's going on?"
"Well--"
Lu Bai looked at the person Hong Tailang held in surprise.
The passer-by was annoyed at first, but after seeing the red wave, he became interested. He looked up at the mansion and said, "Oh, Mr. Yang's house was burned down by fire."
"How did it burn?"
Passers-by have heard rumors: "I heard that Yuan Wai Yang's son was kidnapped by a monster. He was Yuan Wai Yang's only son. In order to continue the family lineage, Yuan Wai Yang took a concubine to continue the family line. Who knew that within a few days of taking the concubine, Yuan Wai Yang's son
When he came back, he said that his concubine was a vixen, and that his son was a monster, and then they had a big fight——"
Then, late that night, a fire burned down Yuan Yang's house.
As for who burned it——
"Anyway, the magistrate's office concluded that it was Yang Yuanwai's son who burned it, so he was imprisoned and prepared to be interrogated and beheaded after the fall," a passerby said.
Lu Bai was confused.
What is this?
He could only go to the magistrate's office and ask.
The passerby lost his value, so Hong Tailang let him go and said, "Thank you, brother."
The passerby looked at him seriously, "First of all, I'm not brothers, we should be called sisters. Also, how did you get your hair like this? Red hair is quite unique."
She pulled Hong Tailang's hair and said, "It's still true!"
"Ouch!" Hong Tailang cried out in pain.
The passers-by were startled, "You, what are you screaming like--"
Like a wolf, it's scary.
Lu Bai came to Hong Tailang's rescue, "He has an old problem. He whines when he is in pain. It's all caused by dyeing his hair. The red pigment got into his brain and made him look like this."
The passers-by were still frightened, "Mom, why is the harm so great? Then you are really shameless and have no brains."
Passers-by shook their heads and left with a sigh.
