Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

Even though the portrait only captured one tenth of her charm and beauty, it could still be sold at a high price of a huge amount of Yuanshi.

Therefore, after that incident, Jun Jiufeng had to consider traveling in a low profile to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

"Welcome distinguished guests."

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou came out to greet them personally, his eyes sweeping over the armor of the accompanying city guards, which represented the rank of lieutenant general.

"How does Wanbao Tower compare to Jinyuan Pavilion?"

Jun Jiufeng casually glanced at the decoration inside the building, and sure enough, it was full of the style of the Great Chu State. He felt unhappy for a moment, and even had the intention of making some comparisons.

"This……"

The shopkeeper's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Why did the distinguished guest ask such a difficult question as soon as he entered the door?

How to answer this?

Bragging about yourself will only make people look down on you, but if you say there is something wrong with your own plaque, doesn't that make you look even more mentally ill?

"Jinyuan Pavilion is better at serving high-level Gu Masters. Wanbao Tower is part of the Chamber of Commerce under Huoyun Valley. Its main service targets are low-level Gu Masters and ordinary people. Naturally, it cannot compare to the famous Jinyuan Pavilion."

Just when the shopkeeper didn't know how to respond, a man at the counter stood up, walked over with bright eyes, and helped the shopkeeper out of the predicament.

"Yes, that's right. Our Wanbaolou takes the people-friendly approach."

The shopkeeper cast a grateful look at the person who spoke.

No matter whether what the other person says is right or wrong, and no matter whether the other person has other purposes, as long as it is fair enough and not malicious, it is the best answer.

"who are you?"

Jun Jiufeng looked at the man curiously. He was wearing a rather heavy Confucian robe and lightning wolf-skin boots. He had a simple face and dark complexion, and looked like he had just returned from afar.

"My name is Liu Chengwu, I'm just a traveling merchant."

"Oh, judging from your appearance, it seems that you have just returned to the Imperial City not long ago. Where do you mainly sell goods?"

Jun Jiufeng was more interested, but he did not hold back when speaking.

He ignored the non-offensive and polite term "traveling merchant" and almost pointed at the other person's nose and called him a middleman.

"I mainly purchase goods from the north."

Liu Chengwu's eyes swept over several city guards' lieutenants and found that they were all unfamiliar faces. It seemed that the two women he met by chance today must be from families of officials.

If I could get to know some adults through these two girls, perhaps the business could be expanded even faster.

"Why don't you sit down and talk?"

The shopkeeper led them inside the building with a smile, had them sit down in the hall, and then had people serve them tea and snacks before he left with a sigh of relief.

The big shots who were accompanying the city guards were not so easy to entertain.

The Chamber of Commerce under Huoyun Valley has just entered the imperial capital and has not yet figured out which direction the imperial city gate opens. At this time, it is best not to contact unfamiliar big shots. The right thing to do is to play it safe in everything.

Only some ignorant peasants would not miss any opportunity to get close to big shots.

Itinerant merchants like Liu Chengwu are not afraid that their stench will offend important people. They are so self-righteous.

"You came back from the northern border and encountered a tide of ferocious beasts along the way!"

Liu Chengwu responded without hesitation: "I wonder which road the girl is referring to, and which kind of beast?"

Jun Jiufeng was stunned. "You mean, you encountered more than one wave of beasts along the way?"

Liu Chengwu took out a jade bottle from his backpack, placed it on the table and pushed it forward.

"I think the girl is more interested in this bottle of Queen Bee Gu Honey. After all, everyone can tell stories about ferocious beasts for three days and three nights."

Seeing this, Jun Jiufeng was slightly startled, lowered his eyes to look at the jade bottle, and for a moment felt both amusing and annoyed.

She was the empress, but one day she was also being sold goods by ordinary people!

"We bought it, please continue."

Su Jin on the side looked much more mature. She put down a cloth bag and a wisp of pure vital energy dissipated from it.

Liu Chengwu's eyes lit up. He was indeed from a wealthy family. Such pure Yuanshi was not something that anyone could afford except high-level Gu Masters.

"The trade route to the north has been destroyed by the beast tide four or five times. Our caravan was lucky to have a fifth-level senior accompanying us, so we were able to escape the disaster. Nine out of ten villages in the north are empty, bones are exposed in the wild, and no roosters crow for a thousand miles."

Hearing this, Jun Jiufeng couldn't help but breathe faster even though he understood that businessmen were profit-driven and would exaggerate the difficulties of this journey.

"I want all of your goods. Please also sell us all the goods in your store."

Jun Jiufeng stood up, said a few words, and left on his own.

Su Jin looked at Liu Chengwu with some surprise and immediately followed him.

Liu Chengwu, on the other hand, looked completely confused, unable to understand why all the goods were sold out in an instant!

"Could it be that the poem that the young master casually read out aroused the girl's pity?"

Liu Chengwu immediately realized that this time, his promotion was just based on the two lines of poetry that the young master had read.

I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It sold out all the goods worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in an instant.

A young man wearing the armor of a city guard general walked forward and pressed his palm on Liu Chengwu's shoulder.

"What you said is true. Is it true that bones are exposed in the wild and no roosters crow for thousands of miles?"

Liu Chengwu shuddered, wondering if he said no now, he would be beheaded by a sword.

"Indeed, my young master is a member of the army. Many of my goods are defective products sold by the army. They need food and supplies. If you don't believe me, you can go back with me to confirm whether I am lying."

Liu Chengwu adjusted himself quickly and enthusiastically led people to the warehouse in the city.

This transaction was countless times faster than in previous times. The people who received the goods were very efficient and each of them had a toad Gu in their hands. A large amount of goods were moved out in an instant.

Before leaving, the city guard general found Liu Chengwu, took him aside, and handed him a tax exemption document.

"Next time you bring goods into the city, stop by the city guards first. I guarantee you'll make more money."

Liu Chengwu actually didn't want to be obedient, after all, many of the goods could not be seen in public.

Take the skins of ferocious animals, poisonous insects, obsolete weapons and other things traded by the army, for example. Everyone knows where they came from, but they must never be made public.

However, this tax exemption document is also useful. At least after you produce this piece of paper, many officials who are accustomed to making things difficult for people will show leniency.

"Thank you, General."

Liu Chengwu bowed slightly and took out thirty Yuan stones sensibly. The deputy general paused, then took it with a pinched nose.

Inside the imperial palace, Jun Jiufeng stared at the queen bee honey on the table and listened to the report from the deputy general.

"Divide the damaged first- and second-level beast skins and bones and have them delivered to the various ministers' residences. I want to see how they can whitewash the situation tomorrow."

Jun Jiufeng said this with murderous eyes, and only opened the stopper of the jade bottle after the people left.

In an instant, her somewhat disordered mood calmed down at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, my heart suddenly shook, as if a desire from the bottom of my heart was aroused by the aroma in the bottle.
