Chapter 316 Cooperation (2)
Now that he needed help from others, Song Dekui, who knew Song Liyun's thoughts well, immediately changed his attitude.
He poured a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup from the stove himself and handed it to Lin Qingyuan with a flattering smile on his face:
"Master Lin, the situation in the Mida Valley is very important to us. You know we are military households. The Wuda tribe has a special relationship with the Zhenbei Army. You understand what's going on here."
Lin Qingyuan was somewhat flattered by Song Dekui's attitude and quickly took the ginger soup.
Of course he knew that Song Liyun was a military household, but he had forgotten it just now. It was only after Song Dekui reminded him of this that he suddenly realized it.
After re-sorting out the key points, Lin Qingyuan suddenly felt excited: If the Wuda tribe wins, he will also be able to benefit from it since he has business dealings with the Song family.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he told everyone what he had encountered and seen in the Mida Valley.
He arrived in the valley in the fall and searched for fine jade and agate among several tribes.
But before he could leave the two families, he encountered war and was trapped for several months. He finally found a chance to escape back to the Wu Dynasty.
“We fought several battles, with casualties on both sides. However, the Wuda tribe has the support of the Northern Guard Army, and they have the best armor, swords, and arrows. They are the winners in every battle, and it is only a matter of time before they occupy the entire Mida Valley.
The Dongyue tribe is no pushover. Even a ripped-out tiger is still a tiger. Furthermore, they still have their vassal tribes supporting them. Ultimately, the royal court will undoubtedly intervene to mediate.”
"I advise you two, war is no joke. Don't think you can go to the battlefield just because you can wield a sword a few times and deal with one or two bandits."
"Among a vast army, the death of one man is like the death of an ant."
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyuan smacked his lips. He saw with his own eyes hundreds of war horses rushing into the tribe.
In just a few breaths, the tribe of hundreds of people was torn into a mess by the fast horses.
Those who dared to resist would be beheaded immediately. The most terrifying were those with broken hands and feet. They would not die on the spot, but would lie on the cold ground wailing and bleeding to death.
Although Song Liyun had not experienced wars in the cold weapon era, she had seen modern wars, mostly large-scale armed conflicts at the beginning of the end of the world after the collapse of social order.
In war, swords have no eyes and life and death are determined by fate.
Song Liyun clenched her fists. In a war, an individual's power is insignificant. If you just run onto the battlefield, you will just add to the casualties.
Lin Qingyuan escaped, but he still felt a little scared when he thought about it now.
He looked at Song Liyun, who had a serious expression on her face, and chuckled, "Since we will be partners in the future, I'll give you another piece of news.
A group of vassal tribes of the Dongyue tribe that had been dispersed were gathering together and were planning to launch a surprise attack on the Wuda headquarters.
I happened to encounter this on the day I was leaving, and was being chased for quite a while."
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyuan rubbed his face. It was not a pleasant feeling to run in the heavy snow.
Uda headquarters!
Song Liyun stood up suddenly, her face changed drastically, and even her voice became sharp: "When did this happen? Does the Wuda Army know about it?"
Lin Qingyuan was surprised that this usually calm woman would panic, and said anxiously, "Just before the snow fell. The young master of the Wuda Army was still encircling the Dongyue tribe, so he probably didn't know."
Song Liyun pursed her lips. It had been snowing for two days. If the distance was short, the Wuda headquarters would be in danger by now.
Plans are not as fast as changes, and she felt that her original plan to gather the tribe needed to be put on hold.
If the Wuda headquarters was destroyed, Zhao Tingduo would be left alone and unable to seek help. He would have nothing left, so what power would he need?
Song Liyun walked around the room twice, feeling anxious and uneasy. She knew that her personal strength was useless in the chaotic situation and she could not help much.
But now that he knew that Wuda headquarters was in trouble, if he didn't take action, his future life would definitely be over.
She stopped and said to Song Dekui who was staring at her blankly, "Uncle Kui, my eldest brother is getting married next month. You go back to help officiate. I... can't attend."
Song Dekui was shocked: "What are you doing! We agreed not to go to dangerous places. Even if there is no such marriage, you can still marry into a good family in a glorious way."
He had never met Zhao Tingduo, and now he had only heard of her. If she was gone, she was gone, and he had no feelings for her anyway.
Song Liyun's expression was firm: "Whether it's a marriage matter or a friendship, I need to inform them, otherwise... I won't be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life!"
Lin Qingyuan stood there holding the ginger soup in his hand, looking at Song Liyun and then at Song Dekui. He suddenly seemed to think of something and looked surprised.
Then he sighed with some regret: "Miss Song, you are engaged? Then I won't give you any chance at all!"
Song Dekui turned around and glared at him: "Put away your cunning thoughts. Don't even mention that Xiaoyun is engaged. Even if she isn't, it has nothing to do with you, a playboy. I, your uncle, will be the first to disagree."
Lin Qingyuan was speechless for a while, as if he had been tricked by the person he had carefully arranged before.
He laughed dryly and said, "Boss Song, why are you so serious? You know I was just playing around before..."
"You can't get out of acting if you act too much. Who knows which of your words are true and which are false!" Song Dekui rolled his eyes.
Lin Qingyuan was so annoyed that he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Song, you have to give me a chance to show my ability! You see, I have both good looks and money..."
"I don't care. My Xiaoyun is also rich and beautiful. You are not even as good as her toes!"
"Hey! Uncle Song..."
Song Liyun didn't want to listen to them anymore, so she asked Lin Qingyuan directly, "Mr. Lin, do you know where the Wuda headquarters is? This matter is very important to me. If you are willing to help, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Lin Qingyuan was interrupted and didn't bother to argue with Song Dekui. He coughed and said, "Okay, tell me what you want as a thank you first! I can't make this trip in vain."
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. It is obvious that the Song family's uncle doesn't like me.
No matter how much I like Song Liyun, there is no future for me, so I might as well get some benefits.
Song Liyun said seriously: "Mr. Lin, if you are willing to take me to the Wuda headquarters.
Not only will you be the exclusive agent for the cardboard box factory, but in the future, the Suijin Cardboard Box Workshop will open a dedicated line for you to produce special packaging boxes.
In addition, Wanjia's leather goods and luggage shop in Pingyangfu can also cooperate with you to produce luxury goods."
Lin Qingyuan quickly calculated in his mind.
He knew about the paper bags and boxes made by Suijin Paper Mill. He only needed to use these things to package the items, and the price would immediately double.
As for the luxury luggage, he hasn't seen how profitable it is yet, but he has seen how Song Liyun turned Tianxianglou into a cash cow.
Now that the luxury goods business is being mentioned seriously again, it must be a good deal.
More importantly, by cooperating with Song Liyun and having the support of the garrison and the county government, he could transfer the growing funds in his hands without worrying about being discovered and confiscated by Lin Qinghua.
And this time we are going to the Uda headquarters, not the battlefield.
After weighing the pros and cons again and again, Lin Qingyuan gritted his teeth and decided to take the gamble!
Seeing Lin Qingyuan agreed, Song Liyun breathed a sigh of relief.
This man pretended to be a playboy who was not doing his job properly. Not only did he deceive the Lin family, but even Jiang Feng only knew the fake appearance. In fact, he was a shrewd and calculating person.
A person who dares to risk his life to venture into the grassland will naturally not miss any opportunity to make a fortune.
