Chapter 21 Delivery

"No problem." Teng Qingshan responded.

Teng Yunlong reminded: "You should prepare more wild animal furs, so that you can wrap the Bihan Knife and go to the city to sell animal skins. This should not attract the attention of robbers and bandits." Teng Yunlong attached great importance to this business, after all, it involved too much money.

Perhaps it is just a drop in the bucket for the big salt merchants, but it is almost the power of the entire village for Tengjiazhuang.

"Grandpa, don't worry, who dares to make Bihan's sword's idea? I'll kill the other one." Teng Qingshan said.

"Okay!" Teng Yunlong smiled and patted Teng Qingshan on the shoulder, then he stood up, "Okay, I'm going to work with your father, so you go back first. Wait for a while, you ask your mother to give your father lunch."

"Um."

Teng Qingshan glanced at his father who was concentrating on building weapons not far away, turned around and walked out of the weapons shop.

*******

The next morning, it was still dark, and most people in Tengjiazhuang had not yet got up. The members of the Hunter Team, the patriarch of Tengjiazhuang, the gun wizard master and other important members gathered outside the weapon shop.

"Ten Bihan swords are formed into one bundle, divided into eighteen bundles, and the last bundle of twelve Bihan swords!" Teng Yongfan directed, "Qingshan, you all wrapped each bundle of Bihan swords with wild beast fur, and then put them in a cloth bag. You must not see the appearance of weapons!"

The Hunter team members were carefully wrapped.

A large number of furs obtained by hunting wild animals in the past were taken out at this moment. In a moment, all 182 bird-collar swords were installed.

"Yongfan, Qingshan." Teng Yunlong came over and looked at the two of them, "You must be careful along the way! But you must not make any mistakes!"

"Yes, grandpa." Teng Qingshan smiled.

Teng Yongfan also said, "Master, just wait for the money we brought back."

"Qingshan, let's go!" Teng Yongfan said. Teng Qingshan immediately gave the order. The members of the Hunter Team held sharp spears, and some were carrying bows and arrows, and the group of people left. Teng Yunlong, Teng Yongxiang and other tribes all watched this scene from afar, and could only hope that the road would be smooth.

...

After walking for half an hour, the genius was completely dawn.

On the wide road, the hunters in Tengjiazhuang were alert and strode forward.

"Dad, look." Teng Qingshan pointed ahead, and there was a vague body next to the road in the distance. "Be careful, everyone." Teng Yongfan shouted softly, and at the same time, the group continued to move forward carefully and approached. Everyone saw clearly that there were twelve corpses in total, all of which were men.

The dried blood had already turned black, and the twelve people had been looted.

"They were robbers. It was something that happened in the middle of the night last night." Teng Yongfan glanced at him, "Okay, stop watching, let's continue to go."

Teng Qingshan walked along and asked, "Dad, no one took their bodies?"

"Of course there are people who collect the corpses! So many people die every day in the world, but no one collects the corpses. The fire has burned, and there has been a long time ago." Teng Yongfan just looked at the corpses, but there was no change in his mood. He smiled faintly, "Which farm belongs to this place? The people from that farm will collect the corpses when they come out to farm and find them."

Teng Qingshan frowned and said, "Bandits are so rampant. We won't encounter robbers on the way, right?"

"Qingshan." A middle-aged man next to him smiled, "This robber kills people, also depends on the target. If the target has few people and is rich, of course they will rob it! If there are many people, but with a large sum of gold and silver, they will probably join forces with their troops to fight. But when we poor hunters like us, there is not much money. Moreover, if we want to kill us hunters, they will die more. It is not worth it, they will not do it!"

Teng Qingshan nodded secretly.

The robbers will also consider whether it is worth it. The poor hunter has little gold and silver, but it is extremely difficult to deal with, and the robbers rarely mess with them.

"Go away quickly and enter the city early." Teng Yongfan said.

As we move forward, gradually, we can see people working in the cultivated land on both sides of the road.

Tengjiazhuang is not close to Yicheng, nor is it too far. If you lean on two legs, it usually takes nearly two hours to get there.

Outside the gate of Yicheng, a team of hunters in animal skins appeared. It was Teng Qingshan and his group of people. They set off before dawn. Now, it was already bright between the world, and Teng Qingshan and his group of people finally arrived in Yicheng. Fortunately, they did not encounter any robbers along the way.

"Finally arrived!" A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face. This was his first time entering the city.

Because the world is too chaotic, the children in the villa have no chance to enter the city.

"Two copper coins per person." The guard at the city gate said lazily. The cost of entering the city depends on people. Hunters like this are barbaric and poor, and they are too lazy to bother them and will only charge the minimum amount of cost of entering the city.

After paying 62 copper coins, Teng Qingshan and his group finally entered the city.

"Haha, the city is still lively." Teng Qinghu's eyes next to him were shiny, "Qingshan, look, how many people are on the street. There are vendors on the side of the street, and there is no end at first sight! Tsk tsk, in our village, when did you see so many vendors and so many fun things?"

Teng Qingshan also felt the prosperity here, the hawkers' hawking sounds, and the sounds of inns and restaurants pulling guests, which were bustling.

"Hi, in the city, don't do it if you don't need it." Teng Yongfan reminded, "Even if you meet some bastards, you should do it. Remember, don't kill anyone! It's okay to kill someone outside the city, but once you kill someone in the city, as long as you run slower and be caught, you will have to jail. This life is over."

Everyone understands that the power of the government is in charge of the city. As for outside the city, no matter how rampant the bandits are, the noble city lord is too lazy to take care of it. There are not enough people to take care of it.

"This time, don't run around. After we sell the goods, we will take a short walk and go back. Do you understand?" Teng Yongfan said.

"I know." Everyone in the tribe nodded.

Usually, when you come to Yicheng once, you will have fun, but after all, it is rare to enter the city. For example, go to the casino and have a few games to play. However, this time the delivery is too large, so no one dares to take it lightly.

*******

There are very few people coming and going in a quiet and wide street, and Teng Qingshan and his group are walking on this street.

Teng Qinghu next to him smiled and said, "Qingshan, don't look at the few people here, but at night, this is the most lively place in Yicheng. Look, you know what the three-story building is? Haha, you must not guess that the woman in that place has such tender faces, one by one, and you can drip water if you pinch it!"

"Haha..." The tribesmen next to them burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Qinghu, have you ever pinched those girls?" Teng Yongfan said with a smile.

Teng Qinghu shook his nose: "This place is good, but it's too expensive. It costs one or two taels of silver to go in for a cup of tea! It is said that finding a woman is even more expensive and it's so dark."

Teng Yongfan laughed and said, "Qinghu, don't you think about it. The three brothels around are the three highest places in Yicheng. And they built next to the major chambers of commerce halls. What are they doing? Their guests are those rich merchants. They are not those of us."

"Qinghu, if you want to taste a woman's taste, go to the tofu shop on Qianjie, and it will be a lot of money to get it once." The tribesmen made fun of it.

"Go and go!" Teng Qinghu cursed with a smile, "I haven't married yet."

"Okay, stop talking, we'll go to the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce Hall in front of us." Teng Yongfan said.

Teng Qingshan's previous life was in modern society. He had seen too many big cities. Those big cities took one or two hours to drive across the city. That was comparable to this Yicheng? Of course, the previous life saw steel and concrete buildings, and the various buildings here were full of ancient style. After seeing it, it had a unique taste.

"In this area, all chambers of commerce are in it, among which Yangzhou chambers of commerce occupy the largest area." Teng Yongfan pointed to the front and said, "That is the Yangzhou chambers of commerce."

Teng Qingshan glanced over and couldn't help but take a breath.

The gate under the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce was more than ten feet wide, which could allow twenty or thirty people to go in parallel. The two tall blue stone lions with golden light at the door increased their power. Teng Yongfan sighed: "Qingshan, those two stone lions are all made of lapis lazuli. Such a large one, each stone lion will definitely weigh ten thousand pounds. These two stone lions alone are worth thousands of taels of silver!"

The salt merchant in Yangzhou is not a false saying.

"Get away." One of the four guards at the entrance of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce Hall shouted at Teng Qingshan and other groups of people.

"We are delivering goods, Mr. Li from Jiangning County, ordered the goods here!" Teng Yongfan said.

"Master Li of Jiangning County?" One of them frowned and said, "You are waiting here, I'll inform you."

Teng Qingshan and a group of people were waiting quietly at the door. After just a moment, two men in black ran over and glanced outside. After seeing Teng Yongfan, one of them said aloud: "From Tengjiazhuang, come in." As he said that, he turned around and left in front, Teng Qingshan and his group followed.

Outside the Chamber of Commerce Hall, it is just the tip of the luxury iceberg of the Chamber of Commerce Hall. Only when you enter the interior will you realize the life of a giant merchant.

"Good." Teng Qinghu's eyes widened.

Teng Qingshan also took a breath. The roads were paved with huge bluestones. How much manpower would it take to have so many neat bluestones? Many of the plants and flowers next to them were not local to Yicheng, and they were definitely transplanted from the ground, as well as various water systems such as the large ponds next to them, and even artificially built springs flowing.

"There is no more luxurious villa in later generations than this." Teng Qingshan thought to himself, "And this is just a chamber of commerce."

Yangzhou salt merchants are the best in the world, and only the giant merchants in Yuzhou can compare with them.

The buildings in the Chamber of Commerce Hall are large mansions.

"Be careful, you will be damaged, but you can't afford to pay for the things here." said a man in black who led the way, "There are also some of the mansions around who live in, and some of them live in, but they are all big figures like our master. If you have collided with any of them, you will not leave alive. Be careful."

"Yes, we understand." Teng Yongfan said with a smile.

But the tribesmen were obviously a little more restrained. Yangzhou salt merchants were a super rich group that could be involved in the eight major sects in Jiuzhou. Even if they killed some people, even the city lord of Yicheng would not care.

"That's it." One of the men in black said, "This kind of small business will be done just by telling the butler. Don't go to the main entrance and disturb the master. You will be miserable. Come with me and go in through the back door." As he said that, he walked along the alley between the two large mansions and came to the backyard door of the mansion.

There are many servants and guards living here.
