All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 153 Trading
Ride fast all the way.

After three days, Ji Ran and Li Yan arrived at Baihekou.

Baihekou is the common name for Dagukou here. During wartime, Dagukou mostly refers to coastal artillery positions.

When the two arrived, they found that the county town was almost empty, with only the Yihe Society and Jing Dynasty's garrison left.

The attitude of the great powers to invade the capital was obvious. The army suffered a devastating blow in Langshan. More than 2,000 soldiers were wiped out, and even Yingliji's general was killed in the battle!
The bloody smell of this war is so strong that it is almost overflowing!
Except for those who were captured and forced to perform labor service, all the people ran away.

However, the Jingjun Army has an ambiguous attitude towards fighting against the great powers, and has not yet mobilized any organized troops!

"Hey! Brother, come here!"

At this moment, suddenly a Jing soldier wearing the uniform of the New Army and carrying a matchlock gun waved at Ji Ran with a smile.

Ji Ran pulled the reins and walked towards the Jingbing.

"Hey!"

"Brother, what a handsome horse! A good man coming to fight? A Boxer?"

Ji Ran looked at the smiling Jing Bing and asked, "Yes, but we don't know each other, right?"

"Hey, I don't know him! But as long as we fight the Japanese, aren't we all family?"

"Makes sense!"

After hearing this, Li Yan nodded. No matter who they are, as long as they fight the devils, they are brothers! In the Battle of Langshan, if Dong Fuxiang's troops hadn't continuously bombarded the Red Devils' artillery array, the Boxers wouldn't have been able to get close to them!
"Haha! That's right!"

"I see you two are new here, and your clothes are not in good condition!"

The soldier smiled and bowed, patted the musket on his shoulder, and said, "Swords, spears, and halberds are useless in war nowadays!"

"Get this thing!"

"Quick gun!"

"We have single-shot and repeating rifles here, Hanyang-made ones and brand new foreign rifles!"

"Would you two like to take a look?"

Looking at Jing Bing's mercenary face, Ji Ran's calm expression finally fluctuated.

Storm is coming, and national war is imminent.

What are the soldiers on the front line doing? They are selling guns!
absurd!

Are you thinking that the two Boxers you have riding on horses are rich people?

Ji Ran's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said calmly, "Is it a lot?"

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, the Jing Bing excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "Look at what you're saying! Although we are the Green Camp Army, our equipment is the same as Lord Nie's Wuwei Army!"

"That's enough!"

"Even if you want four or five, I have a way!"

"How much is a gun?"

"You can choose a foreign rifle for 10 taels of silver, or a Hanyang-made single-shot rifle for 2 taels of silver!"

Ji Ran was stunned and sneered in his heart.

This is really like a son selling his father's land without any regret!
Even the most common German-style rifles in the new army cost at least thirty or forty taels of silver each! When they were distributed to the troops, these veteran soldiers directly resold them at 20% to 30% off!
What a good deal.

"I want some more, including the matching equipment and bullets. Do you have any?"

"really?"

When Jingjun heard this, his eyes widened. He immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Of course not!"

"If you really have the money, I'll give you a discount of one ounce for the whole set!"

Haha, there are group purchase discounts, you really treat it as a business deal.

"Words are not enough, can you go and take a look?"

"nature!"

Ji Ran nodded, glanced at Li Yan and said, "Take my horse and find where the Yihe Society is gathering at its headquarters."

"Then come and wait for me outside the barracks."

"it is good."

Li Yan nodded immediately, looked at Jing Jun again, and said, "Master Tai Sui, are you really planning to buy it?"

"Yes."

Ji Ran dismounted and said, "At least, equip you and the Broadsword Society."

The Jing army is corrupt, so it’s better to let these guys take care of themselves.

Judging from the quality of the 0 members of the Big Knife Society, each of them has a guardian deity. Even if there are more than level ones, equipped with new equipment, they can be used as a thousand elite soldiers without any problem.

"it is good!"

Li Yan did not waste any time. He knew that Tai Sui had come back in a hurry just to find the main temple and ask for a guardian deity!
Even if Taishi Tianlu was obtained, it only belonged to Baishui County, so one could only summon gods from the county chronicles of those decades, and the choice was too limited.

Only when the four major headquarters in the east, west, south and north lead the people from their respective halls to activate the Taishi Tianlu, can the history books of the entire China be connected, allowing those who invite gods to seek the most suitable or more powerful gods in the entire history of China!
Li Yan led the horse away, and Ji Ran followed the Jingjun army towards the military camp.

There was no one in front of the Green Camp.

Ji Ran followed a soldier and walked into the military camp carefree!
There was no one patrolling in the camp, only a few Jingjun soldiers came out to relieve themselves.

"Come, come, please!"

Jingjun, who was wearing a new military uniform, smiled and lifted a curtain and said, "Here are the guns we recently received!" Wow!
The heavy curtain of a tent was pulled back, revealing a pile of guns piled upright like a fire, forming cones on the ground. Surrounding them were boxes of ammunition covered with oil paper.

I took a look at the scattered packaging and saw that it was an 1888 Mauser rifle, which is considered a relatively new German equipment.

"10 taels?"

"Hey, 10 taels!"

"I want more, 5 taels."

"Hey, ancestors!"

Jing Jun was stunned and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Who can sell you at this price?"

"I'll take as much as you have."

Jing Jun choked and asked tentatively, "10, can you eat that?"

Ji Ran raised his eyebrows!
What the hell!

Are you really selling it?
5 taels?!

Even though Ji Ran was prepared for the corruption of the Jing Army, he still felt a surge of anger! A country's army, corrupt and decadent to this extent, is not only a tragedy for the country, but also a pain for the people!

Ji Ran's tone turned cold, and he said, "I can eat a thousand of them."

"really?"

"This has no silver, will you give it to me?"

Jingjun smiled and said, "No problem. Without the money, I will definitely not give anything." But at this moment, he suddenly lowered his head, and the joy in his voice faded a lot.

"Okay, follow me to see the garrison!"

The Jingjun lowered his head, his eyes shadowed by the brim of his hat. Without further ado, he led Ji Ran to a larger tent. Next to the tent, four Jingjun soldiers, each armed with a knife and a rifle, stood there.

Jingjun, who was leading the way, said hello, but before he entered, he heard a strange, muffled groan coming from the tent.

"Uh, the garrison commander is currently handling official business. Please wait a moment."

When the Jingbing heard the noise, he knocked on the tent frame and said, "Sir, someone is here to buy arms."

The voice inside paused, then cursed: "You bastard, can't you handle him yourself?!"

The soldier was quite quick, perhaps because he was worried about being scolded again, so he said directly: "This gentleman wants a thousand foreign guns."

There was a pause in the voice inside.

Immediately, there was a rustling sound.

"Come in!"

Hearing the noise, the Jingjun immediately lowered his head and said with a smile, "Come, please!"

wow-

When I opened the curtain, an indescribable sweet fragrance mixed with the smell of cigarettes made me choke.

In this large tent, a sand table from Dagukou was pushed aside, and a soft couch was placed on the ground. A beautiful woman in a new military uniform, her hair still unhidden and her face flushed, knelt beside it.

A drunken man wearing a fifth-rank military officer's robe with a bear-patched patch sat down on the chair in front barefoot, not caring at all.

On the other side, amidst the smoke, a fourth-rank official with disheveled robes and a tiger-patched pattern on his robe was hugging a woman with her underwear exposed, smoking a longevity cream in a trance.

The whole person was skinny and bony, like the White Bone Demon in clothes.

The garrison officer blushed, burped, and said, "You want to buy a thousand guns?"

"Yes!"

boom!
The guard slammed the table and yelled, "Damn it! Who's a good person enough to buy a thousand guns?"

"Come here, take him down and confiscate his property!"

Brush and pull!

Four Jingjun soldiers immediately rushed in with knives!

"Hey ahahaha! The house was raided! The silver and the longevity paste were confiscated!"

"Roar!"

A skinny tiger with surging dragon and tiger energy emerged from the body of Fu Shou Lao. He was a fourth-rank commander in charge of logistics.

Ji Ran looked at Jing Jun who was leading the way. The latter spread his hands, and his originally cheerful expression turned into one of sarcasm and a little regret.

"Hey, sir!"

"This bastard just came into Baihekou and I saw he was something fishy! Look at his shirt and hair, he's definitely a traitor!"

"I pretended to sell him a gun, and I tricked him into coming over. I'll hand him over to you, my Lord!"

"If he can buy a thousand guns, he must have a lot of money in his pocket!"

Ji Ran laughed. His own money has become salary?

This Jingbing is a good businessman.

I had misunderstood before and thought that this soldier was selling guns on behalf of his boss.

Now it seems that Jingbing himself wanted to sell it secretly to make some extra money!

As a result, when he saw that he wanted a thousand at once, he could not afford it anymore, so he treated himself as a commodity and gave himself to his boss!
It’s a sure win.

Just as Jingjun was about to take action, Ji Ran suddenly threw out a token!
boom!
The token was three inches into the table and it started to vibrate!
A bright "Dong" character is facing the guard!
