Peerless Young Master

"Captain Gao, I heard that you detained Brother Damo, is that true?"

Inside Hanlan Village, Li Xuan looked at Gao Quan and said lightly.

Gao Quan smiled as if nothing had happened: "Brother Wushuang, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Then this misunderstanding is quite interesting." Li Xuan's mouth curled up.

Gao Quan coughed and moistened his throat, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Village Chief Xiao. Your arrival is just in time, saving me the trouble of sending someone on a mountain journey.

You know, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the roads are difficult to travel. My men have never left the village, so if we miss something important, it will be bad."

"Oh, then I'd like to listen to it," Li Xuan became interested.

"Little Brother Wushuang, the winter in Black Dragon Mountain is terrible. The mountain is closed due to heavy snow for three full months.

For such a long time, many villages have not stockpiled enough food. As you know, the price of food in Heiya is simply extortion.

I heard that there are more than a dozen villages within a hundred miles around who are worried about where to get food.

When I thought about it, this was my chance to make a fortune.

You are going down the mountain to sell hot pot, and you can also buy some food, wine, and meat. These things are very valuable.

Those villages would be willing to pay three to five times the price," Gao Quan said.

The heavy snow blocked the mountain and made it impossible to get out. People in nearly twenty surrounding villages had no food to eat. This was a headache for the heads of the villages.

At this time, if Hanlan Village sold food, even if the price was several times higher, they would definitely pay a high price to buy it.

After all, compared to life, money is nothing.

Li Xuan's eyes darkened. He had heard about this matter from Xiao Xuan. The latter's attitude was very simple, that is, he disagreed.

We can't carry much food when we go down the mountain in one go. If we agree to cooperate, we will have to bring more people down the mountain.

The more people there are, the more risks there are.

Besides, not everyone can walk that most deadly mountain road.

No, the person died before he even got down the mountain.

But now we are in someone else's territory, so we must not say anything too harsh. If we fall out, it will be difficult to leave.

"Boss Xiao has also heard about this matter, but the mountain road is difficult to walk on, so only a few people can go at a time, and the food is barely enough;

There’s no way we’d have enough food to sell to other villages, let alone meat and drinks.” Li Xuan declined.

Gao Quan had already thought of this answer and laughed, “I understand what little brother Wushuang said, but I have no other choice;

Just think about it, what will so many villages do if they have no food to eat?

If a fight really breaks out, it will definitely affect Hanlan Village. If the village gate is really closed, wouldn’t it be a hassle for you to go down the mountain?"

This is threatening me by asking me to borrow your road... How could Li Xuan not understand the meaning of Gao Quan's words: "Master Gao is talking about the cold weather and the difficult mountain roads.

We were originally hesitant about whether to take the mountain road, but after hearing what the headmaster said, it seems we should not take the mountain road for now and wait until the beginning of the year."

Gao Quan's eyes darkened, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. How could he not understand what the other party meant? At worst, he could just quit. Anyway, there would be enough food to last until the New Year.

If that were the case, then his plan would be completely ruined.

"That's true. It's just a pity that such a good opportunity to make a fortune slipped away right before our eyes. It's such a pity."

"Money doesn't matter. What's important is life. Being alive is the most important thing, don't you think?" Li Xuan smiled.

"Brother Wushuang is right."

Gao Quan said with a forced smile: "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I happened to catch a wild boar a few days ago. It's rare to see one in this mountain. I must have a good drink today. I haven't had time to thank you for helping me destroy the Wild Wolf Village."

"The boss is too polite. Forget about the banquet. This time, Boss Xiao is worried about Brother Damo, so he asked us to come here to ask you.

If there is no problem, please return Brother Da Mo to us and let us go back and give an explanation." Li Xuan wanted to take the person away.

Gao Quan's smile disappeared immediately, and he said helplessly, "Well, to be honest, the village has been short of food, bedding, and clothes recently.

I have thoroughly investigated the matter and discovered that someone may have sneaked in and stolen it, so I have sent people to look for them.

The men under his command did not recognize Da Mo, so they arrested him and happened to find food and bedding.

You know, although I am the leader of the village, I also have to give an explanation to my brothers, otherwise how can I convince them?

But don't worry, I will let him go once I have investigated thoroughly."

Damn it, you’re trying to trick me like that, you little thief! If it’s so easy to steal food, I might as well just kill you and rob the village.

It's obvious that they want to use the desert as a bargaining chip to force me to agree to smuggling.

"We bought those grains at the foot of the mountain. They have nothing to do with you. Are you trying to threaten us by saying this, Chief Gao?" Xiao Xuan was a little displeased and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

If I hadn't been concerned, I would have taken action long ago.

Even wild wolves are no match for her, so what is a mere Gao Quan?

"Brother Xiao, you have misunderstood. How could I, Gao Quan, be such a person? Don't worry, I will come to your house in person to apologize after I find out the truth," Gao Quan explained.

"Just tell me whether you will release him or not!" Xiao Xuan was furious and stood up.

Whoosh.

Everyone in Hanlan Village immediately became alert and quickly surrounded Gao Quan, as if they would take action immediately as long as Gao Quan gave the order.

Gao Quan's expression was also uncertain, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. The atmosphere around them became tense and ready to explode.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xuan and Brother Damao have a very good relationship. I was just too worried and acted rashly. I hope Master Gao doesn't mind," Li Xuan laughed.

Gao Quan smiled again: "It's okay, I understand." Then he waved his hand and his men left.

"Then I wonder when the leader of the Gao village will be able to investigate it clearly."

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise it and it won't take up too much time," Gao Quan laughed.

Li Xuan's eyes grew deep, and his index finger kept tapping the chair handle. How could he not see that Gao Quan was determined to let the village smuggle in contraband in order to make a fortune.

As time passed, Gao Quan's expression grew more serious, his eyes narrowing from time to time, as if he was ready to have a falling out.

After a long time, Li Xuan sighed and retracted his finger: "Captain Gao, we are all smart people, so don't beat around the bush; give me the person, and I will agree to your request, but only during the three months when the mountain is closed due to heavy snow."

"Li Xuan, how could you agree to him?" Xiao Xuan was shocked and her face changed suddenly.

"Haha, don't worry, little brother Wushuang, I will hand the person over to you right away. Moreover, I will give you three times the profit for each business and will never let you suffer any loss." Gao Quan was very happy. Three months was enough for him to make a lot of money.

The anger in Xiao Xuan's eyes burst out like substance, his hands were clenched into fists, veins bulged, and he looked so aggressive that it seemed as if he was going to attack someone in the next second.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "If you want to make a living in this world, you have to rely on loyalty. If you break your promise, you will not have a good ending."

Gao Quan's face froze and he smiled sullenly.

After sending a few people away, his face suddenly became gloomy and his eyes flashed with anger.

At this time, a subordinate came over and said with a slightly worried tone: "Boss, if you do this, aren't you afraid that they will become desperate and attack us?"

"What are you afraid of? It's winter now. If they dare to come, I will kill them and force them to tell me the way down the mountain and the hot pot recipe.

If it weren't for the recent unrest in the mountains, with those villages robbing food and killing each other, how dare they speak to me like this?" Gao Quan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
