Peerless Young Master

The next morning

"Li Xuan, I'm going to Hanlan Village. Please come with me," Xiao Xuan said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was stunned: "Going to Hanlan Village? What are you going to do with Gao Quan?"

"He wants silver. Last time we gave him 500 kilograms of grain at one time. When Uncle Damo went to get it last time, we only gave him half of the price. It's been a month, and it's time to get back the remaining half of the silver."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. He thought that when Brother Da Mo went to Hanlan Village last time, he got back all the silver for 500 kilograms of grain, but he didn't expect that he only got half of it.

In that case, doesn't it mean that he can go out and visit the two villages that he didn't visit last time, and then ask Xiao Xuan indirectly about the rest of the way down the mountain?

When you feel sleepy, a pillow will be delivered to your door.

Li Xuan's eyes lit up: "Okay, but can we go from Daxing Village to Hanlan Village?"

Under the other party's puzzled eyes, he explained: "This time we went to ask Gao Quan for money. What if he makes an excuse to delay and asks us to go down the mountain to buy food again?

Last time, an accident happened and we didn’t have time to visit the remaining two villages. This time we have the opportunity, so we decided to take a look.”

"Okay." Xiao Xuan thought about it and felt that it was okay.

Immediately, Li Xuan said with some embarrassment: "We had an accident when we went out last time. If you have any powerful equipment this time, you can bring it with you. If something happens again, Boss Xiao will definitely not forgive me."

Li Xuan was still frightened by what happened last time.

The murderous intent in Xiao Yidao's eyes was real. If he hadn't tried his best to bring Xiao Xuan back, he would have killed him long ago.

If anything unexpected happens again this time, I will really die.

Thinking of what happened last time, Xiao Xuan's eyes flashed, shyness and anger emerged at the same time: "Don't worry, I was careless last time. This time I will definitely observe carefully and will not give the enemy any chance to take advantage."

Seeing that Li Xuan was unmoved, Xiao Xuan became a little excited: "You don't believe me? I tell you, my strength has made a breakthrough. I am not afraid even of the peak of the human realm. Otherwise, do you think my father will let me go out?"

It turned out that Boss Xiao knew about it... Thinking of this, Li Xuan felt relieved and congratulated without any worries: "Congratulations, Brother Xuan, you will be invincible in the Black Dragon Mountain in the future."

"I will protect you." Xiao Xuan raised her chin slightly, looking proud.

"What else is there to say? Let's go!" Li Xuan couldn't wait any longer.

The two left the village and walked towards the distance.

Following the same route, the two arrived at the territory of Daxingzhai, which had been occupied by a group of bandits. After witnessing the power of Xiao Xuan's fist, these bandits learned their lesson and dared not speak.

Li Xuan did not talk to the bandit leader, and no one knew how long these bandits could stay here;

Moreover, he went out this time just to get acquainted with the road and memorize the route in his mind.

Soon, the two of them visited the two villages below. They did not go up to disturb them, but hid their bodies and walked past in a hurry.

Looking from a distance, the situation in the two villages was not very good. Roaring sounds could be heard faintly, and it was obvious that they were engaged in a fight.

"Brother Xuan, if Hanlan Village is replaced, how will we get down the mountain?"

Li Xuan had already memorized the route and reviewed it in his mind. He only needed to know the road below to get a complete route down the mountain.

"From there, you have to go down the mountain and pass a mountain. It's a long way to go. There are several forks in the road. If you take the wrong one, it will take you an extra day."

Xiao Xuan pointed to a mountain about a hundred meters high, and then asked with a little curiosity: "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just curious. Logically speaking, these people live in the mountains and should be familiar with the way down the mountain. Why don't they go down the mountain to get food themselves, but have to pick on us?" Li Xuan found an excuse to fool people.

"It's easy to go down the mountain, but it's hard to get into the city." Xiao Xuan's eyes darkened. "This Black Dragon Mountain is a famous bandit den. The county towns at the foot of the mountain that are close to Black Dragon Mountain have very strict gate guards.

It is not easy to sneak into the city. Even if you are lucky enough to get in, how much food can you buy?

If you are caught, you will definitely die.

If it were you, would you risk being beheaded and go down the mountain?"

"That's right. It's better to stay in the mountains and act tyrannically than to be killed." Li Xuan thought about it and it made sense.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Hanlan Village and explained their purpose.

Gao Quan had already prepared the silver. He looked at the two men and said enthusiastically, "Brother Wushuang, Brother Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Xuan had no good impression of Gao Quan and didn't even bother to look at him.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, politely replied, "Master Gao, long time no see, you are still as elegant as ever."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Gao Quan pointed to a wooden box on the ground and said, "Last time, the time was a bit short, and the grain wasn't sold, so you two had to come again.

The silver is all in the box, a total of seven hundred taels, plus the previous one, it is exactly one thousand two hundred taels, count it in two digits."

One thousand two hundred taels!

Hearing this amount, even Li Xuan's eyes twitched. Wow, so much silver.

Just 500 kilograms of grain can be exchanged for so much silver. This is more profitable than Lin’s Restaurant.

Lin's Restaurant's annual profit is around this, sometimes not even more than one thousand taels of silver.

Xiao Xuan screamed, her mouth slightly open, her eyes wide open, and she looked like she had seen a ghost.

Five hundred kilograms of grain cost less than ten taels of silver, but she didn't expect that Gao Quan could make more than a hundred times the profit. She had never seen so much silver, let alone imagined it.

Seeing the two of them looking so surprised as if they had never seen the world before, Gao Quan felt contempt for them, but at the same time he also had an idea.

It just so happened that he didn't have much food on hand. If he could use this opportunity to persuade the other party to go down the mountain to get food again, wouldn't he make a lot of money again?

By then, not only the eighteen nearby villages, but even the dozens of villages within a hundred miles will have to buy food from him.

Thinking of this, his heart was burning with anger.

"You two, this amount of silver is indeed not much. It's mainly because there is too little grain and it's sold too quickly. If I still had grain, I could get not only one thousand taels, but even five thousand or ten thousand taels."

Gao Quan said this while looking the other person over.

The result disappointed him. Apart from being shocked at the beginning, the two of them were now very calm, as if they didn't hear him.

"Master Gao is generous, so naturally we trust you. There's no need to count this silver. We will cooperate again if there's a chance in the future." As he said that, Li Xuan walked to the box, bent down and wanted to leave with the box.

"Um"

Li Xuan tried hard, but the box didn't move at all.

I tried again, but still nothing moved.

Even though he used all his strength and his face turned red, the box still didn't understand.

Seven hundred taels of silver is still too heavy.

Xiao Xuan curled her lips, walked over, picked it up easily with both hands, put it on her shoulders, held the box with one hand, and walked like flowing water.

Li Xuan shook his hand, his eyes sparkling. This scene really gave him the feeling of Lin Daiyu turning the weeping willow tree upside down.

Then he clasped his fists towards Gao Quan and left.

The two returned the same way. As they walked along the road, Li Xuan looked excited: "I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm very rich this time; with so much silver, if I go down the mountain, I'll be a master."

Xiao Xuan was also very happy. With so much money, she would buy all the books in the San Sheng series and read them to her heart's content the next time she returned to the county town.

Then, she thought of something: "What do you think my father needs so much silver for?"

"how could I know"

"Aren't you a scholar? Scholars are smart. Guess what?"

Li Xuan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Could it be that Boss Xiao wants to marry you off and prepare a dowry for you?"

Xiao Xuan's cheeks turned red: "No, my father will never marry me off, don't talk nonsense."

"That means your father came down the mountain and saw another girl and wanted to remarry her."

"You..." Xiao Xuan said angrily: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."

Li Xuan muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you ask me to guess?"

"Um"

Xiao Xuan looked over immediately, and Li Xuan curled his lips: "Oh, no more talking, let's go back and report."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute"

Just then, a sound came from behind.

The two looked back and saw that they were people from Hanlan Village.

"Brother Wushuang, the boss wants to see you for something, so he asks you to go back for a while," said the subordinate.

"What do I want to see you for?" Xiao Xuan asked curiously.

"I don't know... Wait here for me, I'll go and see what he's up to." Li Xuan's eyes flickered as he followed the person.

After a while, he saw Gao Quan and asked, "Master Gao, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"All of you go down," Gao Quan waved his hand.

He waited until there was no one around before he spoke: “Little brother Wushuang, the last time I saw you, I felt that you were neither a fish in a pond nor a bird in a cage;

He destroyed the Wild Wolf Camp in a casual manner, which earned my great admiration."

Li Xuan blinked, not quite understanding what the other party was trying to do. He was asked to come here just to tell him the truth: "Master Gao, just say what you want to say. There's no need to be polite between you and me."

Gao Quan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I'll be frank. I'm very optimistic about Brother Wushuang. With your talent, it's really unfair for you to stay in Baiyun Village."

"You want me to join you," Li Xuan guessed.

Gao Quan smiled and said, "You can say that, but it's not for me, it's for you."

"Oh, for my sake, I'd like to hear more details." Li Xuan became interested.

"This Black Dragon Mountain is not a good place. If given a choice, who would want to stay here? Down the mountain, there is prosperity and freedom, with wine, meat, and women. That's where people live."

As he spoke, Gao Quan's eyes were blazing, as if he were imagining that he was right at the foot of the mountain, with the hustle and bustle of life before his eyes.

"As long as Brother Wushuang is willing, I can give you some money so that you can live and work in peace at the foot of the mountain and marry as many women as you want."

"You want me to help you get food." Li Xuan understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"I told you that little brother Wushuang is very clever. He figured out my idea so quickly." Gao Quan's smile grew even brighter as he promised him a benefit.

“As long as you help me get some food, I can give you a large sum of silver, much more than what Baiyun Village can give you;

You can see that 500 kilograms of grain can earn you so much silver. As long as you and I cooperate, within a few years, you will be the richest person in the mountain.

This is much better than staying in Black Dragon Mountain or the desolate Baiyun Village. You are not willing to stay here for the rest of your life, leading a life worse than death."

"let me consider it"

Li Xuan's eyes flashed. Neither Baiyun Village nor Black Dragon Mountain was a place to stay permanently. Leaving was inevitable.

If he could find his footing at the foot of the mountain in an instant, it would save him several years of hard work.

As someone who has been through it, Li Xuan knows very well that going from zero to one is more difficult than going from one to ten thousand.

It has to be said that Gao Quan's conditions made him very tempted.

Of course, in addition to the heartbeat, what is more important is to have an alternative.

If I really fall out with Boss Xiao, at least there is Hanlan Village where I can take refuge in this mountain where people are eaten alive.

"Of course, I believe that little brother Wushuang will make a wise choice." Gao Quan raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.
