Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 55: Seeking Opportunities for Trading
But seeing from a distance, the general's eyes widened immediately, and he slapped the soldier with his backhand, causing his mouth to bleed, and he also rushed forward and kicked him a few times:
"Oh my god! Are your bandits wearing flying eagle uniforms? These are specially provided by the royal family. There is no way to disguise them!"

Seeing their general act like this, the other soldiers knew they had hit a wall today, and they all put down their bows and arrows.

As the speedboat approached, the general immediately half-knelt at the bow and said:

"Wei Ting, deputy general of the Dingbo Army of Dong'an County, greets you, sir."

Gong Tianwu squinted his eyes and didn't speak for a long time, letting the atmosphere on the field become extremely awkward. After more than ten seconds, he said lightly:
"Long-fang Commander Xie Wu greets General Wei. This is my fang card."

After hearing this, Wei Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this adult had not been completely enraged. It was good enough that he showed an attitude of being willing to talk. Others did not know, but Wei Ting was very clear about how arrogant and domineering the people of Changyadu were in the local area.

At this time, others had already checked the ivory plate, and after confirming that it was correct, Wei Ting said carefully:
"Thank you, Commander. What are you doing here?"

At the same time, Wei Ting winked at the others, asking them to quickly drag Xu Kai away, who was like a dead dog, and not let him get in the way here.

Gong Tianwu originally intended to use official power to handle private matters, so he said simply:

"I am under a secret order from Yidu to go to Changhe County. Does General Wei have any latest intelligence?"

After hearing this, Wei Ting heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it had nothing to do with him, it was fine. He hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, of course. The river wind here is too strong, it's not a good place to talk, and the channel ahead is also cut off. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. How about we go to another place to talk?"

The sky was very gloomy at this time, and a heavy rainstorm seemed to be brewing. Gong Tianwu nodded in agreement as a matter of course.

So soon, he sat in a luxurious restaurant and began to taste the local specialties. Accompanied by a beautiful woman with a sweet smile, he asked Wei Ting about some relevant situations.

At this time, you can see that heavy rain has fallen all over the sky, and the sky and the earth are all vast and blurred.

However, when the news became more and more smooth, Gong Tianwu became even more upset because all he received was bad news.

The root cause lies with the prefect of Changhe County. He is old and confused, and he appoints his private individuals, which makes the place chaotic. Frankly speaking, even if there is no such thing as a demon disaster, the militia and the army under him are on the verge of mutiny. What kind of combat effectiveness can you expect from these people?

After Wei Ting promised to help Gong Tianwu go to Jingdong County as soon as possible, the banquet ended. According to Wei Ting's prediction, Gong Tianwu would have to wait here for at least three days.

After all, this rain will last for two days, and it will take another day for the water level to calm down. During this period, it can be said that no passenger ship dares to leave. Three days can be said to be the most optimistic scenario.

Gong Tianwu thought about it and asked about the possibility of traveling by land relying on the powerful strength of an innate master, but found that it was even more unrealistic.

This place is three hundred miles away from the Xidu Town, and there is a dangerous mountain road of more than a hundred miles that can only be walked by herbalists. In such a storm, there are huge dangers such as floods, landslides, lightning, etc. If you are attacked by monsters, you will be in danger of death.

In this case, waiting patiently seems to be the only option.

Of course, at this time, Gong Tianwu’s residence had been arranged properly. One could even guess with one’s toes that there were two charming and beautiful girls waiting inside.

Of course, Gong Tianwu's attitude towards this was to accept all offers. This was entirely out of consideration for the feelings of local officials. If they did not accept their kindness, they would inevitably have wild thoughts and feel that they were still angry. In order to prevent them from making similar misjudgments, Gong Tianwu reluctantly accepted it.

"Huh?" However, after arriving at the corridor, Gong Tianwu saw a dark shadow at the door from afar.

After walking a few more steps, he saw a person kneeling on the ground, his whole body was wet. When he heard Gong Tianwu's footsteps, he shouted:
"Luo Chong, the eleventh lieutenant of the Dingbo Army of Dong'an County, greets you, sir. I have come to apologize to you."

Gong Tianwu reacted as soon as he heard the voice. Wasn't this the captain who tried to blackmail him during the day but was severely beaten? Of course, his arrogance was gone at this time.

With a flash of thought, Gong Tianwu walked over and helped him up, then said calmly:
"It's not that serious. Let's go in and talk."

After entering the room, Captain Luo knelt down again with a look of fear on his face:

"I know that I was too abrupt in my actions. Now I think back and feel ashamed. Your Excellency is magnanimous and has clean hands. Therefore, I specially sent you some worthless local specialties. Please accept them."

After he finished speaking, Captain Luo handed over a gift list. Gong Tianwu took a casual look and found that it was nothing more than gold and silver. He had no interest in these things at the moment, but he was a little unwilling to let this person go.

Anyway, according to Wei Ting, I should stay here for three to five days. So Gong Tianwu pondered for a while and said:
"I don't like these things. If Captain Luo is interested, I have something here that I would like you to exchange for some pills or something like that."

Captain Luo was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Gong Tianwu had directly asked for the elixir by name, and cursed in his heart that this man was really ruthless, but how could he dare to say no in this situation? He nodded and bowed hurriedly:

"I have some knowledge in this area, I will take care of it right away."

But he was stunned again immediately, because Gong Tianwu then really took out three treasures, namely the Lingxi Cup, the Han Yu Lion, and almost one or two catties of fragments of the sacred wood!

Of course, Gong Tianwu would not be so stupid as to give the goods to him to sell. What if this guy ran away?
He simply packed a small bag of sacred wood fragments for him as a sample, wrote down the details of the Lingxi Cup and the Hanyu Lion, and then said that interested buyers could come to his place to view the goods at any time.

To Gong Tianwu's surprise, from the morning of the second day, there was an endless stream of people braving the rain to come and look at the goods. Later he learned that Captain Luo was also very good at using someone else's talents to gain a bigger reputation. He visited officials with wide social connections and said that the special envoy from the capital was stranded here due to wind and rain, and that he was interested in selling some top-notch items, and asked them to buy as soon as possible.

So half of the people who came really wanted to buy things, and the other half wanted to make friends with this "Special Envoy from the Capital". In this process, Captain Luo also cleverly played the role of "the confidant of the Special Envoy from the Capital". This guy is really talented in being an official to such an extent.

Early the next morning, the real buyer showed up. He came for the Lingxi Cup. After all, this thing was related to health preservation, and it was not a consumable like elixir. It was the kind that could be used for a long time. It could be said to be a goose that laid golden eggs.

By the third day, there were only four families left who could sit in front of Gong Tianwu. The rest either did not have enough financial resources or strength, and could not keep the treasures even if they bought them.

After some consideration, Gong Tianwu politely chose the method of selling through blind bidding. He asked the four families to write down the things they could exchange and then put them in an envelope for them to choose from. This way, there would be less of a busy schedule of bidding on the spot.

The first thing Gong Tianwu opened was the envelope with the word "Zhao" written on it. He looked at the note inside and just glanced at it before putting it aside, obviously not interested in it.

The Zhao family member next to him frowned, coughed and said:

"Well, Mr. Special Envoy, my family's offer is very suitable. Would you like to consider it again?"

Gong Tianwu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then suddenly said calmly:

"Are you deaf? I told you I don't want silver or anything like that, what do you mean by writing 800 silver? Is your silver worth more? You're still letting me think about it, I'm giving you face, right? Get out! Get out right now!"

Mr. Zhao's face immediately turned red after being rebuked, and he immediately shouted:

"You are such a gutless bastard, you are lucky that someone likes your things, you know who my grandfather is!!!"

Gong Tianwu's journey was blocked and he was already angry. He was too lazy to talk to this blind idiot. He stood up and pushed him in the chest with his palm, and also injected a trace of mixed poison into it.

Such a small amount of toxin is equivalent to a seed. There may not be any symptoms at the beginning, but it will slowly take effect after two or three months. It is enough to make this stupid thing collapse physically, stay in bed for several years and finally die of coughing.

After Mr. Zhao was hit by a palm, he rolled on the ground. He probably knew that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he turned around and walked away dejectedly, holding his chest, but the hatred in his eyes could not be hidden.

(PS: Mr. Zhao is not deliberately dumbed down. With huge profits, he has all kinds of stupid ideas. Reality is stranger than fiction.)
The other three buyers not only did not show any signs of leaving, but instead showed an expression of gloating. At this time, Gong Tianwu's divine reading skill happened to work randomly, and he listened to the thoughts of the people next to him:

"Fatty Zhao has been shaking ever since he sent his sister to the magistrate as a concubine. Haha, he hit a wall today, didn't he?"

"You deserve it! You are as fat as a pig and as stupid as a pig."

"It's so satisfying. It's worth coming here just to see this wonderful show."

“Haha, you actually want to buy such a treasure with silver treasures, but this envoy will definitely choose my things in the end.”
