Hidden Blade

Chapter 338 Big Shot

It was naturally a good deal to travel between the two countries to scalp prices, but after all, the journey was long. Whether it was time or the cost of employing manpower, it was quite high. Since a small trader was able to achieve such a large scale in just half a year, Old Gan naturally had his own small secret.

It was about a month after Xia Zhou reopened his business, Boss Gan, who had suffered a few setbacks on the road and caused bad luck to his grain, was completely exhausted. He spent almost all of his family's savings on the business and even mortgaged his ancestral property. After spending his last bit of silver in the tavern, Boss Gan, who had lost all his money overnight, thought of finding a well and settled it.

However, just as he was sitting in the well and was about to make up his mind to jump, a man suddenly found him.

The man gave him a large cart of goods hidden under various fruits and melons, allowing him to transport them to Great Xia. He promised that once he passed through the White Horse Temple on the border of Great Xia, someone would naturally help him. Based on the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Boss Gan brought the steamed buns he had borrowed tens of dollars to buy. He traveled day and night alone and brought the carriage to Great Xia. As the man said, someone took the goods and gave him a very generous reward just now. Not only did he make up for the previous losses, he also had a surplus.

Boss Gan, who was aware of the huge profits, was out of control. Although he didn't know what the goods were, for the sake of the huge profits, he had risked his life time and time again. In less than half a year, he was already so wealthy.

And this Zhen Yue was the contact person that the man had assigned to Boss Gan. Every time he needed to ship the goods, Zhen Yue was responsible for contacting him.

The other day, after learning about the situation on the antler plains, Boss Gan hurriedly searched for the escort team in the Sword Dragon Pass. However, due to the relatively safe state of the antler plains, Pan Heng didn't have many escort teams in the Sword Dragon Pass. Now that such a situation had occurred, those escort teams would naturally start from the ground. Boss Gan, who was reluctant to spend money, was secretly annoyed, but he didn't want Zhen Yue, the female escort head, to take the initiative to bring someone to escort Boss Gan's caravan to Great Xia. This made Boss Gan overjoyed and naturally agreed hurriedly.

The other party's only condition was to bring an adult along and ask Boss Gan not to reveal this to the public.

Obviously, that lord was the one who threw out this heavy bag of dog-headed gold from the carriage at this moment.

..

Boss Gan looked at the bag of gold in front of him. His throat twitched and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He could clearly see that the weight of this bag of dog-headed gold was more than enough for him to run back and forth between Xia Zhou and Zhou. If he had this money, not to mention taking a concubine, even ten bedrooms would be more than enough.

However, the rumors about the antler plains were too bloody and brutal. Boss Gan looked at the golden pouch in front of him, and the two thoughts in his mind about overnight riches and the vital importance of his life began to fight with each other, and he was extremely happy.

At that moment, Xu Han exchanged glances with Zhen Yue beside him and frowned.

Xu Han did not know the origin of the person in the carriage, but Zhen Yue knew more or less.

But even so, his actions seemed a little too unimaginable to them.

After all, there were no longer one or two homicides in the antler plains. Everyone could see that there was a group of bloodthirsty bandits entrenched in the antler plains.

Without knowing the opponent's strength and not having absolute confidence in their own strength, taking a detour was undoubtedly the best and most appropriate choice.

Seeing Boss Gan's expression of emotion, Zhen Yue hurriedly took a step forward and wanted to say something before Boss Gan agreed.

Bang!

However, just as he spoke, another muffled sound rang out. Another thing was thrown out of the carriage and landed firmly at Boss Gan's feet. Another bag of heavy dog-headed gold was also there.

This bag of dog-headed gold was undoubtedly a sharp sword that could destroy Boss Gan's incomparably fragile defensive line.

"Good! Good! Cross the antler plains. Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely escort you safely to Great Xia."

Boss Gan said anxiously, but he quickly picked up the two bags of dog-headed gold with a movement that did not match his slightly bloated figure, as if he was afraid that the big shot sitting in the carriage would go back on his word.

Zhen Yue's expression became rather ugly at that time. She knew that since Boss Gan had agreed to that lord, there was probably no room for change. After pondering for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and said loudly to the people in the carriage, "Since that's the case, I forgive my lack of skill, so I can't escort everyone on this trip."

As he said this, Boss Gan's expression also changed. He dared to accept this because he knew what Zhen Yue and the others were capable of. If he were to lead this caravan across the antler plains, he would not dare to do so. He immediately said anxiously, "Miss Zhen, don't be anxious. I am willing to give someone two bags of dog-headed gold. Just tell me how much you want. Everything is negotiable."

Hu Ma and the others on the side were also quite moved, and they tried to persuade him repeatedly, "Yeah, boss has so much money, we've arrived at Great Xia."

"If you want to die, you can do it yourself. I won't stop you. However, don't blame the boss for not reminding you when we meet again in the Yellow Springs." However, Zhen Yue replied indifferently, and the four of them immediately stopped talking.

After saying those words, Zhen Yue didn't even look at Boss Gan and turned around to lead Hu Ma and the others away.

Just as Boss Gan was at a loss, the curtain on the carriage window was suddenly lifted, revealing a face hidden in the shadows. Although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, his eyes reflected the flames in the distance, and it was so gloomy that people's hearts went cold.

"Do you think you can escape the pursuit of the Dark Asura Palace after escaping to Great Xia? You have done something you shouldn't have done. Dark Asura Palace has always had blood to pay for it. Take me away and this matter will be written off. Otherwise, Great Xia, Great Zhou, and even the Chen Kingdom will never have a peaceful day." At that moment, his deep voice sounded again.

Not to mention Zhen Yue and the others, even Xu Han's body trembled.

Xu Han was surprised that Zhen Yue and the others were implicated in the Dark Asura Palace, and even more surprised was that the man had made a condition. Knowing that the Dark Asura Palace was huge, Xu Han knew one thing. There were only two types of people in this world who could make such a promise.

Experts were existences as strong as the current of the sea that could contend against immortals, while the latter was like ghost Subhuti, a Ten Halls Yama level figure.

"Who exactly are you?" Zhen Yue gritted her teeth, looked into the eyes of the carriage, and said in a deep voice.

"Someone who can help you." That person replied indifferently.

After saying that, he no longer looked at Zhen Yue, because he knew that he had given her a chip that she could not refuse no matter what. Then he looked at Xu Han and asked, "What about you?"

"What would you like?"
