Peerless Young Master

After hesitating for a while, Gao Quan gave up the idea of ​​using force to force these people down the mountain, mainly because he was unsure of Xiao Yidao's strength.

It would be fine if he could beat the opponent, but if he couldn't, he would die here.

After thinking for a while, Gao Quan went straight to the point: "Master Xiao, actually, the reason I came here this time, besides giving you this silver, I also want to discuss something else with you."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yidao asked in a flat tone, looking uninterested.

"The winter in Black Dragon Mountain lasts for three full months. During these three months, many villages cannot survive safely because they do not have enough food. In order to survive, they kill each other. This is why people are dying every day in the outer areas now.

I think you must know this. I came to you because I want you to tell Xiao Zhaizi that there are nearly twenty villages near Hanlan Village, and I know the leaders of all these villages.

If we sell food to them, they will be willing to pay for it even if it is more expensive than gold.

This is a great opportunity to make a fortune.”

"With so many villages and so many people, it's not an easy task to gather enough food." Xiao Yidao frowned. Even if he lived frugally, it would still take several hundred kilograms.

Seeing the other party take the bait, Gao Quan's eyes lit up and he continued, "We do need a lot of food. Fortunately, we still have a month and a half. If we go down the mountain a few more times, we will have enough to buy this much food."

Seeing that Xiao Yidao was still hesitating, Gao Quan tempted him with benefits: "Master Xiao, this is a great opportunity to make a fortune. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have it again.

It would be such a pity to miss out on so much money.

I heard that Black Cliff has a batch of fresh goods, and they are very expensive. If we can make a deal, we can go and try them."

Xiao Yidao didn't think too much about Gao Quan's words. He wanted to refuse. After all, there was no need to go down the mountain now. He looked at Li Xuan:

"Wushuang, what do you think of the proposal made by the leader Gao?"

Li Xuan's pupils trembled in surprise. He didn't understand what the other party meant by bringing up this topic. Ever since Xiao Xuan was injured, there was an obvious gap between the two of them.

After a brief pause, he looked at Gao Quan and said after a moment of contemplation, "It is undeniable that this is indeed a good opportunity to make a fortune, but what you don't know, Mr. Gao, is that there are only a few people down the mountain, and some are injured.

So, the will is there but the strength is not enough."

Although Li Xuan didn't know what Xiao Yidao meant, he started from the facts. Xiao Xuan was injured and would definitely not be able to come down the mountain for a while. If Da Mo relied on himself alone, he would be exhausted to death but would not be able to get much food.

Be impartial and don't find fault with me.

"When will you be able to recover from your injury?" Gao Quan asked anxiously.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone"

"Ah, it's been so long. By the time the injury heals, the opportunity will be gone." Gao Quan frowned. What should he do?

A faint light flashed in his eyes. He was not sure if this was the other party's excuse for refusing to go down the mountain, which made him a little anxious.

He came here in person, showing his sincerity, but he didn't expect that the people of Baiyun Village still didn't give him face. This made his eyes flicker and he reconsidered whether to take action.

“As Village Chief Gao said, many villages are short of food now. If we can sell food to them, we can really make a lot of money.

But it is really troublesome to go down the mountain again and again. I plan to do something big and buy all the food back directly.

With so much food, the manpower I have is definitely not enough. I need to borrow some manpower from the leader Gao. I wonder if the leader Gao is willing to lend some manpower." Suddenly, Xiao Yidao spoke.

"Easy to say, easy to say"

Gao Quan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Xiao Yidao to agree. He was immediately overjoyed: "Master Xiao, whatever your salary is, just tell me."

"Okay, then we'll have ten of us. It will be sunny in ten days, and then we'll go down the mountain to get food. When we get to your camp, these people will come down the mountain with us."

"Okay then, I'll go back and pick a few people with good skills. The road is not safe, and more people will help us look after them." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Gao Quan's tone became cheerful.

After the good talks, Gao Quan left.

Xiao Xuan couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, why did you agree to him and bring his people down the mountain with us? If we leak the route down the mountain and the place to enter the city, wouldn't it be inviting a wolf into the house?"

In her opinion, she shouldn't have agreed to Gao Quan's request.

What's the use of having so much silver in Black Dragon Mountain? It's better to stay in the village.

It’s not so easy to go down the mountain.

Even she was accidentally shot by an arrow.

Li Xuan was also curious. Logically speaking, Xiao Yidao should not agree. After all, there was no shortage of food in the mountains now, so there was no need to take risks.

Moreover, he didn't think that the other party was really short of money. Although the village was very poor, he just had this intuition.

I always feel that the other person is weird.

"Dad just felt the murderous intent from Gao Quan. He was thinking about whether to attack us. If Dad is not mistaken, giving us silver is fake, and the real purpose is to test our strength."

"If he dares, he dares to attack us. My daughter can kill him with one move," Xiao Xuan said disdainfully.

"It's better to have less trouble than more, and Dad has a premonition that a large sum of money may be needed soon." Xiao Yidao's eyes suddenly became deep, as if he could see through the future.

Although Li Xuan and Xiao Xuan were very curious, neither of them spoke.

…………

Ten days passed quickly, and Xiao Xuan had recovered from her injuries, which no longer affected her performance.

This time, Xiao Yidao led the team personally. After the three of them packed up their bags, they left the village, leaving Li Xuan to look after the house.

Baiyun Village is a barren village, so bandits rarely attack it. Otherwise, Xiao Yidao would not have taken his two best fighters away from the village several times.

When the three of them arrived at the border of Hanlan Village, they saw Gao Quan waiting there long ago, with more than 20 people following him.

After a brief greeting, he picked out ten people to follow Xiao Yidao.

In this way, the group walked down the mountain.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. We hid in the woods. In front of us was the official road, and further ahead was the county town.

Xiao Yidao said, "Damo, take Ah Xuan in from the usual place, and I'll approach you from the outside. Don't just buy rice from one rice shop just to get it quickly, go to a few different places.

This time, we need at least 500 kilograms of rice. Such a large amount of food will easily attract attention. We must be careful and wait until dark to transport the food out of the cave entrance."

"Dad, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's not the first time, so there will be no problem," Xiao Xuan said confidently.

"Dad is afraid of you. Listen to your Uncle Damai when you encounter problems." Xiao Yidao shook his head.

"Boss Xiao, let's go first."

"Well, be careful on the road"

After a while, the two men came out of the woods and walked on the official road.

When they had almost walked away, Xiao Yidao led his men out of the woods and followed behind.

Half an hour later, Xiao Xuan and Da Mo came to a desolate place. In front of them was a long wall with weeds growing all around it.

At the bottom, after digging through the weeds, I saw a small hole.

The two of them went in one after the other, and inside was the county town.

What Xiao Xuan didn't expect was that when she lowered her head and crawled in, a face suddenly appeared inside, and both of them were startled.

After a brief shock, the man inside the wall panicked and quickly retreated.

"We can't let him run away. If someone discovers this cave, we won't be able to get in again." Damo's face suddenly turned gloomy. He didn't expect something unexpected to happen this time.
