Chapter 108 There are always people who have trouble with me
After Bagan left, Liu Jun told Lady Hong what happened when she returned to Qingsong Mountain. Lady Hong was dumbfounded.
Especially when she heard Liu Jun say that her divine gift was damaged beyond repair, the Red Lady was filled with indignation.
"I have also heard of the Soul-Destroying Old Man. He has been famous for 200 years. He has always been mysterious and elusive, but I didn't expect that he would fall into your hands."
The red lady looked at Liu Jun's face and her eyes shone brightly: "Did you kill him with the same trick just now? I feel like even a great genius can't dodge it if you use it."
Liu Jun smiled bitterly: "The charging time of this move is too long, and if I use it, I will probably faint. It is not suitable for frontal combat at all. I was just scaring people, but I didn't expect that the effect seems to be pretty good."
After he finished speaking, he found that the red lady was looking at him quietly.
Liu Jun touched his face: "What's wrong?"
The red lady sighed a little: "I didn't expect that you could still be so optimistic after losing the divine gift. It seems that you are not affected at all."
She suddenly asked curiously: "How did you feel after losing the divine gift? Is there anything like that..."
She gestured with her teeth and claws: "Loneliness, the feeling of being abandoned by the world."
"There have been examples of God's gifts being damaged before, and their end was not very good. They generally have a tendency to self-destruct. According to them, losing the God's gift is like being disconnected from other people. Although
I still live in the same environment as before, but there seems to be a thick barrier between me and other people."
Of course Liu Jun would not have such thoughts. Although he also had a system panel, he had never experienced the feeling of connecting with other people. Well, the one with He Yunxi should not be counted.
Liu Junzheng was a little surprised as to why the Red Lady spoke to him in such detail. He saw the Red Lady wink at him quietly.
Liu Jun was stunned for a moment and didn't quite understand, so he kept it in his mind.
Five days later, the first batch of grain was delivered to the border. Liu Jun was surprised. He did not expect it to be so fast.
The leader of the group, Liu Jun, did not know him, but he obviously knew Liu Jun. According to him, the Li family bought this batch of grain from their friends in Bingzhou, which is why it came so quickly. The caravan coming from Jizhou probably
It will take another ten days to arrive.
With Hu Luo leading the way, more than a dozen tribes gathered on the grassland. Although they were all small tribes with hundreds of people, they also gathered hundreds of sheep, not to mention cattle and horses.
Although Liu Jun said that the price would be higher if the food was sent to the border, after all the Li family had to bear the travel expenses and consumption, in fact, the price did not increase much.
The goods yard was located where the Huluo tribe was currently stationed. Under such circumstances where both parties were very sincere, within two days of the transaction, the food brought by the Li family had been exchanged, while the prairie people gathered more and more.
many.
Liu Jun has been staying near the goods yard during this time, but at this moment he frowned slightly.
"When will the next batch of food arrive?"
The team leader glanced at Liu Jun and felt a little panicked. He had heard rumors about Liu Jun, but seeing it with his own eyes still felt a little strange.
Although I knew that the person in front of me was very strong, I couldn't find out any information. It felt like God's power had lost its effect on him.
He wiped his forehead: "It should arrive today."
But they didn't arrive, and no caravan transporting food was found even within the Red Lady's sphere of influence.
Liu Jun turned around and asked Dongfang Bai, who was standing beside him: "Dongfang, have the people who investigated the news come back?"
Dongfang Bai shook his head: "There is no news yet, but time is running out. The carriages transporting grain can only take the main road. Even if there is no fighting, the movement of so many people will definitely leave traces that cannot be removed in a short time."
He glanced at Liu Jun: "I have sent someone to go to Bingzhou Prefecture to investigate."
No one is a fool. No matter what Liu Jun's starting point is or how much money they make, their behavior can be regarded as smuggling. The most important thing is that the state government has not profited from it.
It is impossible for the Bingzhou government not to know about such a big move by Liu Jun and others, and it is natural for them to be jealous.
It's just that Liu Jun hopes that this matter has nothing to do with them.
A sentry rider suddenly broke into Liu Jun's tent and reported: "The caravan has been found. It's not that there was an accident, but it didn't set off at all."
"What's going on?" Liu Jun's face darkened, and the steward sent by the Li family looked incredulous.
"Based on the information provided by the steward, we traced all the way to the home of the grain merchant who provided the grain, but found that no convoy had set off in the past few days.
"We inquired about it and found out that on the second day after the last convoy set off, someone from Bingzhou capital visited the grain merchant's house.
"Then people who were loading trucks at their warehouse were stopped."
Liu Jun let out a sigh of relief. Why is this answer so unsurprising?
"Let's negotiate first and get the food, and then we'll settle the accounts slowly."
Liu Jun looked at Dongfang Bai: "Dongfang, you and Tong Baixiong go together. As long as you can achieve your goal, you can do things cheaply."
Dongfang Bai was stunned and looked up at Liu Jun, who looked at him expressionlessly.
"yes."
Dongfang Bai hugged his fist and left Liu Jun's tent with Tong Baixiong.
After walking far away, Tong Baixiong looked back carefully and asked Dongfang Bai sideways: "Abai, do you feel that the boss has changed a lot?"
Dongfang Bai still had that slightly shy smile on his face, and he didn't turn around: "What do you think the boss is like? A good person? A madman? A kind person?"
Tong Baixiong scratched his head: "All of them, but I feel like he has become a lot more indifferent recently."
Dongfang Bai's eyes moved, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Maybe this is what he really looks like."
He looked at Tong Baixiong with a smile on his face: "What kind of person do you think I am?"
Tong Baixiong basically didn't think about it and blurted out: "Of course he is a kind person and a good partner. He can help his friends, isn't he?"
Dongfang Bai looked at him with an even bigger smile: "I guessed a little bit right."
Dongfang Bai discovered that since he learned from Liu Jun and regarded practicing as a part of his life, his skills have improved rapidly and he has become more and more skilled in the manipulation of mental powers. Even the distracting thoughts in his heart are driving the power of qi and blood to circulate in his body over and over again.
were polished off.
Everyone has his own persistence, dreams, and ideas. When your distracting thoughts are polished away, you will find the path you want to take in this life.
Liu Jun was overcoming obstacles and moving forward on his own road, and Dongfang Bai could feel that he was about to understand his own path.
After Dongfang Bai and Tong Baixiong left, feeling the increasingly anxious atmosphere in the goods yard, Liu Jun sent people to notify each tribe and said he wanted to get together with them.
Not long after, more than a dozen people crowded into Liu Jun's tent, and everyone looked a little impatient.
Liu Jun didn't take anything lightly and said straightforwardly: "You may have received some news. Indeed, there was something wrong with the grain transport convoy on the road."
As soon as Liu Jun said this, the heads of these tribes looked a little ugly, but in front of Liu Jun, no one dared to show off their temper. Those who had died in Liu Jun's hands had done a good job for those who came after him.
example.
Liu Jun glanced at everyone: "In this world, there are always some people who are very short-sighted. I don't know what they think, but they actually want to touch my caravan for the benefit of that little food. He can't hurt me at all, but it is really
Somewhat disgusting."
These barbarians were stunned and couldn't help but smile when they heard Liu Jun boasting about his military power.
This is the temperament of the Hu people. They live in the grassland environment, and only the strong can lead them to live a better life. They really agree with Liu Jun's words.
"Everyone should have seen the transactions in the past two days. Compared with the original trade with the imperial court, we should be able to exchange for more things. But the interests are always attractive. This is the second batch of grain, and someone on my side has taken action.
I think some of you may be dissatisfied if you come here to trade."
Some Hu people didn't understand, but more of them exchanged glances with each other, bowed their heads and remained silent.
"In this world, force is our strongest backing. If I want to maintain this warehouse, I need more force.
"Whether you belong to a small tribe or a medium-sized tribe, I hope that everyone can send a message to the innate people in their respective tribes who can speak to each other. I hope that the grassland people and the people of the Central Plains can live without bloodshed."
