Chapter 1908: Selling sheep’s heads and selling dog meat
"Is this a fire?"
Guan En came over, looked at the fire point in the distance and said: "If I remember correctly, there seems to be a blacksmith shop over there, and this blacksmith shop has received a big order in the past few days, saying that it is to customize two
Baiduo sent the hoes to the tea city. Because there was a businessman in Feihu City who was planning to cultivate a new tea garden near the tea city, he needed to customize a batch of hoes and other agricultural tools and send them there; but what is interesting is that the businessman split the order into
He gave it to several blacksmith shops. Although he said it was to collect farm tools and send them there as soon as possible, the problem was that he could go to the tea city to buy farm tools, because the blacksmith shops in the tea city all had agricultural tools in stock, so
If you buy it locally, you can save on shipping costs. In the end, it will definitely be a lot cheaper, and you don’t need to wait for so many days.”
"Oh, in that case, the reason why the blacksmith shop caught fire was because of the rush to work on this order?" Liu Xing asked.
Guan En nodded and said with certainty: "Nine times out of ten, because there are no shops that are easy to catch fire near this blacksmith shop, and judging from the current intensity of the fire, there should be a lot of flammable materials piled up at the fire location.
Therefore, only the blacksmith shop can meet the conditions. After all, in addition to the regular coal, the blacksmith shop has also prepared a lot of wood for making hoes in the past two days."
"Then the question is, this fire should be related to the mission, right? So should we go over and have a look?" Zuo Xin said curiously.
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then Zuo Xin, please go over there and see what the fire is like. If it is related to the mission, you can take it according to the situation, but remember to pay attention to safety."
Zuo Xin nodded and went out.
As for Guan En, when he saw Zuo Xin leaving, he stood up and left, because he still had to confirm whether there was anyone doing tricks next to the deep well. If he was sure that someone really set a trap next to the deep well, then he could go back to find the examiner who had no idea what he was doing.
Already.
As for the remaining Liu Xing and the other three, they chatted about each other, waiting for Zuo Xin's return.
After the fire in the distance disappeared, Zuo Xin hurried back.
"The situation is similar to what Guan En said. The fire started in the blacksmith shop. Because the hoe order they received had time requirements, they had to work overnight today. As a result, a new apprentice may not be used to such high work.
The intensive night shift accidentally caused this fire, but fortunately, the blacksmith shops in this era basically had a semi-open layout, so not many people were injured; but the interesting thing is that I
When you come near the blacksmith shop, a very special task is automatically triggered, which is to temporarily join the blacksmith shop and help the blacksmith shop complete a sufficient number of hoes before the deadline of the order."
Zuo Xin drank water and said: "This is a bit outrageous. Anyway, I have never encountered such a strange task. In short, this task reminded me of some factories that suddenly received large orders due to lack of production capacity.
I have to go to the nearby overpass to recruit temporary workers."
"Yeah, this mission sounds a bit outrageous. It doesn't look like a mission that would be asked in the Cthulhu Run game lobby."
Liu Xing frowned and said: "But there is a saying that existence is reasonable, so I suspect that this task should be just a preliminary task. Only after this task is completed will the truly important tasks be triggered...such as transporting these hoes to
Go to the tea city!"
As soon as Liu Xing said this, Zuo Xin also thought about it, "Yes, I heard that this order will be delivered early the day after tomorrow. Although the blacksmith shop now has no shortage of manpower, the problem is that the blacksmith shop has already
There is not much coal and wood left, and many of the hoes that have been forged have some problems, so from purchasing the goods to making the hoes, one day tomorrow will definitely not be enough! Because there are several other blacksmiths in Feihu City
The blacksmith shop is also completing the order from the merchant, so these blacksmith shops may not be able to distribute the materials, so this blacksmith shop may not even be able to get the materials together in a short period of time!"
"If this is the case, then this seemingly outrageous task will definitely not be completed, so unless the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is idle and wants to trick us, then the requirements of this task will definitely be changed the day after tomorrow.
That is, how many days before the hoe was sent to the tea city! And sending the hoe to the tea city should not be the end, and some special plots will be triggered later, because as the leader said, this businessman can definitely go to the tea city.
He wanted to buy farm tools locally in the city, which would save time and effort, but now he has to buy farm tools in Feihu City, which is so far away from the Tea City, and he is so urgent about time, which is obviously a bit abnormal."
As soon as Zuo Xin finished speaking, Liu Xing thought of a possibility, "I understand! This businessman is most likely selling dog meat over sheep's heads! His original purpose was not to open up new tea gardens in the tea city.
Instead, he planned to bring things like farm tools from other places for the reason of opening a tea plantation! For example, more than two hundred hoes would have to be loaded on several carriages, so he could safely arrange for one more carriage, or mix them in these carriages
Some shameful things; then the question is, why did this businessman do this? Because he is most likely a subordinate of the third prince, so when he went to the tea city to do business this time, to put it bluntly, he was working as an undercover agent."
"Although the Third Prince and the others are not as sure as we players are that something has happened to the New Dragon Emperor, they should be able to discover the strangeness of the New Dragon Emperor based on their information channels, so these princes who are almost 70 or 80 years old only need to
If there is no old fool, then they should know that it is time to make arrangements in advance; therefore, the third prince arranged for this subordinate to go to the tea city as an undercover agent, and the purpose was to see if the sixth prince would arrange a surprise attack through the tea city.
Boyang City! Of course, if there is a chance, I think this undercover agent will also find a way to cause trouble in the tea city, because the taxes in the tea city are also very important to the Sixth Prince, and tea is also a strategic material."
"If this is the case, then the reason why something happened in the blacksmith shop today is probably the fault of the businessman, because he wanted these hoes to be sent to the tea city alone. The purpose of doing this was to confuse the tea city.
After all, the sixth prince is not stupid. He should be very aware of the importance of the tea city. Therefore, the sixth prince may have placed some spies in the tea city to guard against the undercover sent by the third prince. Therefore, as long as nothing unexpected happens, then these
When the hoes are delivered to the tea city, someone will come to inspect them openly and covertly to determine whether there is anything wrong with the goods in the carriages."
"Play hard to get? As long as there are no problems with the previous goods, the spy will naturally become slack on the next goods, so the businessman can take the opportunity to bring something into the tea city! But what does this have to do with us?
Logically speaking, we must know nothing about this matter, so we know that we are transporting hoes, so the businessman has no reason to arrange any tasks for us, right?" Zuo Xin said with a frown.
"Yes, if we were not players from God's perspective, then we would not be able to guess so many details, so the businessman should treat us as ordinary people! So I suddenly thought of a question, that is, flying
How far is the Tiger City from the Tea City?" Liu Xing asked with a smile.
"It will take half a month at the fastest, right? Because although the straight-line distance between Feihu City and Tea City is not far, there is a big river across the road, and then there is a rugged mountain road, so it will take about half a month.
From one month to twenty days...I understand! Leader, you mean that by the time we arrive at the tea city, it will be almost at the beginning of next month. By then, the news that the new Dragon Emperor is no longer alive will be
The news will spread throughout the New Dragon Empire, and it's time for all the princes to take action! In this way, you players who escort the hoe will have to stay in the tea city and work for that businessman, whether you like it or not.
"
Liu Xing touched his chin and said to Zuo Xin: "Zuo Xin, you have to stay in Feihu City anyway, so you go rent a fast horse and go back to Tianshui Town now, and let Meng Fugui and the others make an idea, that is
Do you want to send some people over to take over this mission? Although the risk of this mission is relatively high, the rewards will not be small, and we can also contact local players, maybe we can instigate them to rebel!"
Zuo Xin nodded and left the inn again.
Fortunately, many shops in this martial arts module are open 24 hours a day, so Zuo Xin does not need to wait until the next day to set out.
After Zuo Xin left, his two brothers went back to their rooms to rest. After Liu Xing blew out the candles, he felt a little guilty when he looked at the wooden box containing the Yehou statue. He always felt that there was an NPC.
Already eyeing it.
So after thinking for a while, Liu Xing hugged the wooden box in his arms. Although it was indeed a bit disturbing, at least psychologically he felt a lot more at ease.
A dreamless night.
Liu Xing opened his eyes with some confusion, because when he was sleeping, he thought he would dream again this time, but nothing happened. This made Liu Xing feel a little disappointed, because Liu Xing was still looking forward to it.
What would you dream about... And Liu Xing has vaguely felt something. For example, he may not have joined the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby for the first time a few years ago.
Therefore, Ao Guanhai deliberately approached himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing has become more vigilant towards Ao Guanhai, because Liu Xing doesn't want to be sold to him and he has to count the money.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the wooden box Liu Xing was holding, but after Guan En’s reminder, Liu Xing did not dare to bring the wooden box back to the carriage openly, so he waited until the remaining left
After the two brothers got up, they found a cloth bag, packed it up, and quietly placed it on the carriage.
Then Liu Xing and others set off again and continued to Liangcheng.
But what Liu Xing didn't expect was that Guan En was waiting for him halfway.
The reason why Guan En came to Liu Xing is also very simple, that is, he has passed the Miao Shoukongmen exam, and as Liu Xing analyzed last night, the innkeeper is a member of the Miaoshou Kongmen, who is responsible for collecting various intelligence.
After all, if the business of the inn is good, the guests traveling from north to south can provide a lot of information.
"Leader, Miaoshou Kongkongmen asked me to take a trip to Far West City."
Guan En said seriously: "Miaoshou Kongkongmen has a very important branch in Far West City. After all, Far West City is the most prosperous city in this area, so Miaoshou Kongkongmen will definitely not miss it, so I will go to Far West City next."
There are many missions in West City. If the mission is successfully completed, you can go to the headquarters of Miaoshou Kongkongmen! This is good news for me, because I can go to Sweetwater Town to join the alliance, but I also hope that you, the leader of the alliance, can write to me.
A letter of recommendation will allow me to get help from the alliance after arriving in Far West City."
I see.
Liu Xing nodded and said: "There is no need for a letter of recommendation, because you only need to state my name - Liu Peng. When the time comes, you only need to explain the situation to the deputy leader, and he will naturally introduce you to Yuan Yuan."
Players in West City; however, you may also have to accept tasks given to you by our alliance in Far West City. Of course, as long as you complete the tasks, you can also get the benefits given to you by the alliance."
"That's good."
Guan En said happily: "Then I will take the first step now, because Miao Shou asked me to go to Far West City empty-handed. It is also a limited-time mission. I want to test whether I can rush to a certain place in a short time; by the way,
This is actually also a feature of Miaoshou Kongkongmen, that is, it will choose to have many members act together at certain times, but in many cases these members act alone in their respective cities, so in order to avoid missing the best opportunity to act,
These members need to be able to prepare and assemble in a short period of time. After all, a rapid march is easy to say, but in practice only a well-trained army can do it."
Liu Xing deeply agreed with Guan En's words, because a long time ago, Liu Xing also thought that rapid marching was quite simple, as long as everyone started running. However, after further understanding, he found that it was actually very difficult.
, after all, most armies in ancient times could only walk thirty miles in a day, and if they went any faster, some would be out of touch.
During the fourth crossing of Chishui that year, the fastest one-day march reached a terrifying 120 kilometers! You must know that this was done step by step! The most important thing is that we won!
"By the way, Leader, I have something to give you now."
As Guan En spoke, he took out a finely crafted wooden whistle from his pocket.
