Chapter 127: The Prince of Zhenbei Comes to See Me

"Hey! What way can I tell you? In short, they get silver much faster than us." Shopkeeper Chen sneered disdainfully and continued to bury his head in eating breakfast. He was really hungry.

Shopkeeper Zhang rolled his eyes and leaned over, "Old Chen, just tell us, let us grow our knowledge too."

"No, no, can this matter be talked about blindly?" Shopkeeper Chen shook his head like a rattle.

Shopkeeper He said from the side, "Isn't it just robbery? What way can bandits have to earn silver!!"

Shopkeeper Chen mocked, "Use your brain when you speak! If they relied on robbery, could you still stand here now?"

Everyone realized later that it was really the logic.

"Then it's not relying on robbery, what do you say it relies on?" Shopkeeper He was mocked and felt that his face couldn't hold up.

Shopkeeper Chen frowned, "Didn't I say it? This matter can't be said."

Shopkeeper He finally seized the opportunity and immediately fought back, "I'm afraid you don't know either, just pretending to be mysterious here."

"Slap!"

Shopkeeper Chen patted the table, "I certainly know, I know a lot of things!"

"Then you say it!" Shopkeeper He was not to be outdone.

In fact, everyone present was very curious at this moment, just not easy to speak, so they hurriedly spoke up taking this opportunity.

"Old Chen, just tell us! How could we talk nonsense outside."

"That's right! We just want to grow our knowledge, no other meaning."

"Don't be angry! Old He didn't mean that."

Shopkeeper Chen pretended to be provoked and said to everyone: "Since you want to know, then I will tell you about it."

Everyone pricked up their ears immediately, curiously waiting for Shopkeeper Chen to speak.

Shopkeeper Chen cleared his throat, lowered his voice and said, "Actually... Yangguangzhai has a Chamber of Commerce, specifically to help them make money."

The restaurant owner was puzzled: "Old Chen, I don't have any other meaning! Since there is a Chamber of Commerce to make money, why do they still become bandits?"

Don't say, this remark hit everyone's heart. Just like when they had money to earn, who would become a bandit!

"Tsk! It's different. They became bandits first, and then had the Chamber of Commerce, not having the Chamber of Commerce and then becoming bandits." Shopkeeper Chen immediately explained.

"Oh oh! Then this Chamber of Commerce... what does it do?"

Shopkeeper Chen smiled, "As long as it can earn silver, they do it. Thanks to me being familiar with Big Boss Jiang, otherwise they wouldn't take me!"

"Listening to this, Old Chen, you joined Yangguangzhai?" Shopkeeper Zhang widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

"Eh eh eh! How do you speak? I didn't become a bandit, I just joined the Chamber of Commerce to make money together." Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly waved his hand to deny.

"Then Old Chen, you don't want your shop anymore?"

"I want it! Just need to change a way." Seeing everyone asking, Shopkeeper Chen knew that they were also interested in this matter.

"What way?"

Shopkeeper Chen pondered and said: "It's... anyway, you won't understand if I say it. Just know that I can earn more than double the silver in the past."

The boastfulness in this remark was not hidden at all, making everyone itch in their hearts.

Especially after hearing that the other party could earn double the silver, it made people unable to sit still.

Shopkeeper Chen knew that this remark would definitely make everyone feel uncomfortable in their hearts. After all, this was human psychology. You can live well, but you can't live better than him.

For a time, the restaurant was silent. No one spoke, not knowing what they were pondering.

Shopkeeper Chen took the opportunity to sweep away the food like a whirlwind, and after eating his fill, he patted his stomach and prepared to leave.

After standing up, he suddenly thought of something and said to the restaurant owner: "How much silver for this meal?"

"Why talk about this? We are all friends, I'll treat you!" The restaurant owner smiled.

"Okay! Then I won't be polite." Shopkeeper Chen was not polite, stood up and prepared to walk out.

Almost walking out of the door, there was still no movement behind him, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but skip a beat in his heart.

Is it because I pretended too much? Why hasn't anyone spoken to keep me?

But now, Shopkeeper Chen could only bite the bullet and walk out. He had to finish this play no matter what.

"Old Chen, stay!"

Finally, when Shopkeeper Chen was about to go downstairs, the restaurant owner spoke.

Shopkeeper Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"That... is this Chamber of Commerce you mentioned, can we join?" The restaurant owner asked a bit embarrassedly, but it wasn't shameful to earn silver.

Shopkeeper Chen pretended to be embarrassed, "Ah? I'm not the one who makes the decisions, but I can help you ask!"

The restaurant owner's eyes lit up, then stepped forward two steps and smiled, "Old Chen, I'll trouble you with this matter!"

"It's no trouble, anyway, it's just helping to ask. I might not be able to speak either." Shopkeeper Chen didn't make the words too full. After all, things that were too easily obtained would make this group of people suspicious instead.

With the restaurant owner taking the lead, the rest of the people also rushed forward, fearing that they would be left behind.

"Then Old Chen, help me ask too!"

"Old Chen, you can't treat one better than the other! We have been friends for so many years!"

"Old Chen, count me in!"

Shopkeeper Chen immediately responded: "Then I will help you ask, but I can't guarantee you can get in!"

Shopkeeper Chen sighed in his heart. The matter was finally resolved. The next things had nothing to do with him. It depended on how Jiang Jinshi could keep these people.

On the other side, Wei Xikang finally arrived at the border city. To save time, he almost didn't sleep. Except for letting the horses rest, he was on the road the rest of the time.

The journey from Guangwu Jun to Anbei Jun was not short. He could have let himself rest well before rushing, but what he saw along the way made him unable to rest.

Coming all the way, he was like a retrograde in the crowd, watching the suffering common people dragging their families to flee south, his heart felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by needles.

It also showed some problems from the side, that is, the border war was really not ideal, and the previous Xiongnu breaking the city left a huge psychological shadow on the common people.

Now what everyone didn't trust was not the Prince of Zhenbei, but the Da Qian Dynasty!

Even though the Prince of Zhenbei was famous, he was helpless in the face of such a predicament. Opening the city to let the common people leave was the last thing he could do.

Wei Xikang was stopped by soldiers before entering the city. The common people in the city had already fled. Those who wanted to enter the city at this moment were probably spies.

Looking at the soldiers surrounding him, the damaged armor, the blood-stained faces, Wei Xikang took a deep breath before saying.

"I have something to find the Prince of Zhenbei, I hope you can report it."

A leader walked out of the soldiers and said unkindly: "Who are you? What's the matter with our Great General?"

Wei Xikang was not angry at being questioned, but felt gratified by the discipline and rigor of the Zhenbei Army.

"Just tell the Prince of Zhenbei that an old friend is visiting, and he will definitely come to see me." ===== CHAPTER 128 =====
