Chapter 242: A common understanding between smart people

“Suspicious?” Shang Xin Ci's gaze flickered under her thick eyelashes.

Zhang Zhu nodded and said solemnly: “Actually, I have doubts about them since we entered Fei Hou Mountain. Miss, you gave them a hundred and fifty ancient stones, but they were not moved at all with such a large amount. . It really makes people look. “

He paused for a moment and continued: “I have been secretly investigating them lately, and found a more suspicious point. First of all, they had little or no communication with the servants around them, as if they wanted to be invisible. Secondly, they rejected the recruitment offers from many clans, even though the requirements were very good. “

“Nona, do you still remember her appearance when she came to ask for help from us that night? Hei Tu, that man has such a powerful strength, how could he be harmed by others to such an extent? And finally, from my observation, his colleague was wearing male clothes, but actually female! “

The camp was filled with silence.

After quite some time, Shang Xin Ci smiled: “Strong strength doesn't mean he can definitely win against others, right? Two fists could not rival four palms, Hei Tu injured it was normal. Actually, I know about all these suspicions.the point you're talking about. “

Zhang Zhu was not at all surprised, he understood Shang Xin Ci and knew his intelligence.

“Rindu… . “

Shang Xin Ci blinked, her face showing a gentle and charming smile: “Uncle Zhang Zhu, you have been feeling stifled for days, right? Seeing that I didn't take action to deal with this, you came to remind me today. “

Zhang Zhu smiled: “I can't hide anything from you. But why do you still keep it on your side?”

“Because I don't feel bad intentions from them.” Shang Xin Ci's eyes shone with a wise light, “We became suspicious of them on Fei Hou mountain, and if they didn't stand up at that moment, we wouldn't have done it. I can feel suspicion. But, why are they still taking risks, isn't that helping me? “

“It..”.

“If they hide a dangerous scheme, they will definitely stay hidden and watch the show from the side, right? Or perhaps receive that hundred and fifty ancient stones. But it didn't. The moment Hei Tu said he returned my kindness, his expression was sincere and I knew that he was telling the truth. He really wants to return this favor, ” Shang Xin Ci said.

Zhang Zhu fixated for a long time: “But they are not simple, they definitely have a secret.”

The smile on Shang Xin Ci's face was like a flower: “Everybody has a secret, I have one too, does having a secret make someone a bad person? The world is bright, as someone who knows how to repay kindness, there must be a limit to how bad he can be right? “

“Maybe so but I can't help but wonder what their motives are. Maybe they're planning something .. Wait, I know, they must be accomplices to some bandits. They joined the caravan and planned to rob it by cooperating with the demon street figures! “

“It doesn't make sense.” Shang Xin Ci shook her head, “If they were accomplices, they should have had more reasons to stay hidden, why would they expose themselves on Fei Hou mountain. So many people tried to recruit them, they could have joined another group and it would not have been easier to hide themselves. Why did they decide to stay with us? I feel they must have gone through some suffering. We help them and they reward us. Now, they want to hide their identity, I think we should help them. “.

Zhang Zhu sighed while shaking his head: “Nona, why do you always think of others? One must know to be wary of others.”.

“Uncle Zhang Zhu.” Shang Xin Ci said, “If we are really robbed, please do not fight to protect his belongings. If his things were lost, then they would be lost, it was no big deal. I want to bring a sign to someone in the Shang clan city. However, he also said if that person does not accept us, we should continue to live through these items. “

“My mom died quickly, she didn't manage to convey who I was supposed to be looking for. But I think wealth is only worldly treasure. Mother has left me, you and Xiao Die are my only remaining relatives. I don't want to see you guys meet with any accidents. “

“Nona, never say that.” Zhang Zhu's eyes are red with emotion.

“Come, look, honest and original Shenjia Sutra!”

“All kinds of quality liquor, I welcome everyone to taste it.”

“Golden Qi Gu, sold for only fifty ancient stones!”

  . . .

The temporary market became the center of the conversation and hawkers sold their merchandise as people moved around.

Every time the caravan passed by, it would be a party moment for the clan.

In the temporary market, not only were the caravans selling his wares, some of the Jin clans were also selling his wares.

The items they sold were mostly statues or gold utensils; there were pots, cups, spoons and basins. Their profound sculpting skills are shown in their original animal and human sculptures. And with gems or pearls in red, green, yellow and blue as a complement, the statues look more beautiful.

Mount Huang Jin was a place blessed by heaven with gold found everywhere in it.

The people who lived here, even the poor slaves wore some accessories such as gold rings and gold necklaces.

The hairpins, earrings and bracelets worn by many girls glow with a golden luster, looking very beautiful. They chatted to each other in groups with a fresh and innocent beautiful voice.

As for Master Gu of the Jin clan, their uniforms were similar to that of the Qing Mao mountain; short sleeves, trousers, belts, foot wrappers and green bamboo shoes.

It's just that some use gold rope as a wrapper for their feet. Belts, cuffs or cloth pants, all gold-framed. This was the characteristic of Huang Jin mountain.

The clans in the Southern Border basically had the same clothes. The evil Gu Masters, however, wore all sorts of strange dresses.

Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing moved among the crowd. They had bought cow and goat milk from three to four Jin clans.

Fang Yuan had tried his best to feed all of Gu's spear bones. But even so, two-thirds of Gu's spear bones had already died from starvation.

“Are you not afraid that such a reckless purchase will reveal our identity?” Bai Ning Bing expressed her doubts.

Bai Ning Bing gave a cold snort, she knew what her flaws were: her gender.

Even the old lady in the hamlet could see it. Women and men had physiological differences, these could be disguised, but it required a special Gu worm that Bai Ning Bing did not have.

Thus, even if he wore loose clothing, covered his face with a straw hat, smeared his body with ashes and tied his chest, his gender would undoubtedly be revealed as time went on.

Fang Yuan continued: “So, rather than covering up the truth, it would be better to reveal some things on our own initiative and let others calm their minds, he said, thought they had seen through us and had the situation in their control.”

Exposing yourself is not always bad. One could only accept trust when they revealed their identity.

Fang Yuan was unable to reveal his own cards, doing so would be too unnatural and out of tune with their previous behavior.

Only when the other party discovered and investigated did Fang Yuan take the opportunity to easily reveal some things.

Bai Ning Bing understood: “So, you deliberately waited for them to find her before answering?”

“You finally got smart.”

“Hmph!”

However, three days passed and the response as well as the investigation that Fang Yuan expected had still not arrived.

Bai Ning Bing finally got a chance to dig in Fang Yuan: “So, you also have times when you are wrong.”

Fang Yuan snorted as he pondered inwardly: “I can see from Zhang Zhu's expression and attitude that he already suspects us. He did not discuss it deeply and held back, most likely because there could be danger at any time on the road. . But now that the caravan had arrived at the Jin clan, the situation was very safe and he should have started investigating it. Except.. “

Shang Xin Ci's figure appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.

“Truly smart and also brave. He was most likely the one who stopped Zhang Zhu. This is a little problematic, it seems too smart can also be a problem.” Fang Yuan sighed.

Shang Xin Ci's tenderness and kindness had exerted a deep influence on her, making her slightly underestimate this girl's intelligence.

Shang Xin Ci wanted to reach an understanding between a smart person and Fang Yuan, she was obviously trying to play dumb. However, Fang Yuan had different motives and this layer of understanding instead turned into a barrier.

“Because it is so, I will take the initiative.” Fang Yuan sighed and went to look for Shang Xin Ci.

“You want to establish a partnership with me?” Inside the tent, Shang Xin Ci and Zhang Zhu put on shocked expressions as Fang Yuan revealed his intentions.

They did not go looking for the two, but they both came knocking on their doors!

This was a little beyond the expectations of the young girl.

Zhang Zhu's mind shook: “You finally showed your original color? Partnership... hmph!”

“Miss Zhang, I am a bit embarrassed to say it, but we need ancient stones and I consider myself quite knowledgeable about the merchant. I want to borrow a number of goods, and we will divide the profit we obtained into two, how about it?” Fang Yuan slightly bowed his body, not looking like a slave or arrogant.

“You don't have an ancient stone and are as poor as a mouse, but you want to borrow a chicken that lays eggs? You are too confident!” Zhang Zhu's gaze carried a cold light, “Why do you think you will definitely make a profit? And on what basis do you think our Zhang clan will lend you those items?”

“Naturally there will be profit and loss in business. I also cannot guarantee a profit. As for your second question, I think Miss Zhang is a good person and should lend me an item, right? You want to ask about me. The reason being, I can only answer you that this is this feeling. If this feeling is wrong, then please consider this never happened. ”Fang Yuan replied with a smile.

He was lacking one ear and his entire body was covered in burns, making him look terrifying when he smiled.

However, Shang Xin Ci looked at him and looked inside him, a kind of confidence, firmness and radiance of careful planning. This radiance exuded a distinct charisma, penetrating through an ugly appearance.

“Interesting, it seems like he also feels our suspicions, so he wants to reach a tacit understanding with me?” Shang Xin Ci's gaze kept flashing.

After a while, he laughed.

This ‘blak-blak’ communication style makes him feel an indescribable sense of security as well as freshness.

“If you don't go there, there won't even be a quarter of the stuff left, they would have already been snatched away by the monkeys on Fei Hou Mountain. Since you have this idea, I will hand these things over to you. ” She said .

If the maid Xiao Die was here, she would probably start making a big fuss.

Fang Yuan showed a dazed expression for a while, before he bowed to show his gratitude.

“Nona, this..” When Fang Yuan left the tent, Zhang Zhu could not stand it anymore.

Shang Xin Ci blinked mischievously like a child: “Isn't this interesting? Did you hear what he said just now, he hasn't even started a business, but already talked about sharing the profits in half. The tone is like if the advantage is certain.. “.

“Hmph, he's just a fool, how much talent can he have?” Zhang Zhu disdainfully sneered, “If we talk about business talent, who can compare to the missed ones? I still remember how you managed the property all this time and developed it. If not for the envy of the little people in the Zhang Clan. “.

“Alright, what's the point of talking about the past? Since Uncle Zhang Zhu believes in my talent, then you should trust me. Even if Hei Tu wastes these items, I can still rebuild the business from scratch, right ? ” Said Shang Xin Ci.

“Of course!” Zhang Zhu said without hesitation.
