In the corner of the tavern were two dark brown wine tables, surrounded by a dozen seles.
Most of these seles are burly, armed with bows and swords. They are surrounded by huge leather bags. When Zuo Yi comes over, they are drinking in large bowls and eating meat. They have a lively conversation.
Although Zuo Yi doesn't understand the language spoken by these tough men, it can be seen from various signs that the other party should be a professional businessman.
Peddlers have different names in different positions, such as tourists, tourists, foot traders, etc., but no matter which position, peddlers are not weak and have a certain force.
Because their scale is very small, or in groups or alone, they travel hundreds and thousands of miles, go deep into remote areas and border areas, and earn a hard money to lick blood with a knife head at the risk of robbery by thieves and invasion by wild animals.
Weak chickens can never do this job. Many people often confuse businessmen with adventurers. In fact, the identities of the two can be exchanged. When Zuo Yi was in sadya world, he also worked as a merchant who bought too low and sold too high.
Although the strength of the merchants can not be too strong, they have rich experience and well-informed information.
"Hello."
Zuo Yi's greeting made all seles businessmen stop laughing and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him.
Doubt, curiosity, vigilance, dignified
A middle-aged man with a frosty face stood up and asked, "what can I do for you?"
His Chinese is not very standard, but he is quite proficient.
Proficient in language, which belongs to the standard skills of businessmen.
The words of the middle-aged seles dealer are polite and cautious.
Although Longcheng fortress is nominally the jurisdiction of seles Kingdom, seles people living here know that this city belongs to Daxia people.
No seles dare to easily provoke a Daxia person, because all Daxia people are professionals and have extraordinary power, and the one who controls the Longcheng fortress is still a strong person at the town and state level!
There are only three strong townships in the whole seles kingdom.
Of course, the merchant leader doesn't think he needs to grovel to Zuo Yi, because he is also a professional.
But no matter whether the other party is proud and Clank or servile, it doesn't matter to Zuo Yi. He smiled and asked, "I want to ask, who of you has been to winter city?"
"Winter city?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and hesitated before answering, "I went there once ten years ago."
"Very good."
Zuo Yi nodded and said, "I want to hire you to take me to winter city. How much does it cost?"
"Do you want to go to winter city?"
The middle-aged man was surprised: "it will take at least three months to go to the winter city from here, and we have to go all the way smoothly."
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. I'm afraid my partners and I can't help you, because we're leaving Longcheng fortress tomorrow. You..."
His voice suddenly stuck in his throat.
Because at this time, Zuo Yi handed a gold brick to him: "this is your reward."
Although the middle-aged man didn't see how Zuo Yi "changed" into a BRIC, it didn't prevent his will from being defeated by this charming metal in an instant.
As an excellent businessman, he can judge at a glance that the gold bricks in Zuo Yi's hand can be exchanged for at least 3000 seles general gold coins in the Bank of Longcheng fortress!
Three thousand gold!
The middle-aged man is in the wind and rain. He runs around risking his life. He may not be able to save so much money for ten years. How can he not be excited?
With this money, he doesn't need to do business anymore. He directly retires back to his hometown, buys a farm, asks a woman to have several children, and lives comfortably in the future.
In fact, the companions behind the middle-aged man were also silly.
Someone muttered to himself, "can't it be false?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked carefully, "Sir, how many people do you need?"
Three thousand gold coins were enough to hire a large mercenary Corps. He was not dazzled by the heavy money and thought of the risk.
No matter how much money you have, you have to take it with your life!
"You're enough alone."
Zuo Yi saw through each other's thoughts at a glance and said, "you just need to lead the way, you don't need to protect me."
He took the gold brick in his hand, kneaded it like dough, squeezed out a golden ball in two or three times, and then handed it to the other party.
The middle-aged man couldn't help taking a breath.
He can also squeeze the BRICs into a golden ball, but he can't do it to the extent of Zuo Yi.
The golden ball handed over by Zuo Yi is round and smooth. Under normal circumstances, it can be achieved only by repeated polishing.
Zuo Yi rubbed it out directly.
Zuo Yi's image immediately became tall and mysterious in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, the middle-aged man took the golden ball and said, "I've taken the task!"
If there is no gold, even if Zuo Yi talks too much, he will only have doubts and dare not promise easily. Now Zuo Yi pays the remuneration first, what else does he dare not?
You're welcome. He's not worth 3000 gold coins.
"Very good."
Zuo Yi is not surprised. There must be brave men under the so-called reward. Too many people can fall with 10kg gold.
"Get ready. Let's start early tomorrow morning."
Zuo Yi was going to go to Longcheng fortress, so he asked fan Hailiu for a map, and then flew to Lindong city.
As a result, fan Hailiu went to seles, which failed his plan, so he simply found a guide.
Now he plans to fly to winter city with this guide. Although there is a burden, it must slow down a lot, but it won't take much time.
"OK."
The middle-aged man quickly said, "I live upstairs. I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning."
The upper four floors of tonglong tavern are all hotel rooms, and most of the passengers are businessmen like them.
"Yes, my Lord."
He added: "my name is Bonn."
He just thought it was weird. Zuo Yi didn't even ask his name and gave him so much money directly.
I'm not afraid of him running away with money.
Of course, it's impossible to run. Zuo Yi has the magnanimity of a superior. He offended this person who is likely to be a senior figure in Daxia. His end is unimaginable!
"Bonn."
Zuo Yi nodded: "I'll see you tomorrow morning."
He doesn't plan to stay here, because there are better hotels nearby.
The next morning, when Zuo Yi came to tonglong tavern again, Bonn was waiting at the door with his luggage.
"My lord..."
He bowed to Zuo Yi and asked, "shall we start now?"
Woo! Woo! Woo ~
Zuo Yi hasn't answered yet. Suddenly, a low, solemn and thick horn sounded in the fortress!
