"Big news! The people of Qing have ordered a large batch of weapons from us, and the advance payment alone is 100,000 taels!!"

“…”

Seeing her talking so excitedly, Su Changzhao felt that Bai Longnu had been greatly influenced by Jiang Bo in the past year, and her eyes lit up when she saw money now.

But who wouldn’t be happy to have money delivered to your door?

Even Xiao Qinsu, a master of medicine, couldn't help but say happily: "This is a considerable income!"

Bai Longnv nodded at her: "Yes, then we can build a bigger private school for the children in the city."

She had proposed building a private school half a year ago, but Su Changzhao did not agree because the budget was insufficient at the time.

So this time, the big order from the Qing people really made her excited.

but--

"The Qing people didn't ask anything, didn't even look at the samples, and just paid the deposit without hesitation? Didn't they have any other requirements?"

Su Changzhao asked Bai Longnu.

"Yes." Bai Long calmed down immediately when talking about business: "The only request of the Qing people is that we produce the number of weapons they want within two months, not a single one less."

Su Changzhao pondered: Two months is not a difficult task for a ghost town now. But why do I always feel that there is something wrong here?

"How many weapons orders do we have on hand now?" Su Changzhao asked her again.

"The last batch has been completed. If we don't receive other orders in the next two months, this batch of weapons from Qing people should be delivered on time."

Su Changzhao touched his chin: That is to say, while they are rushing to make this batch of weapons, they cannot take on other business.

"Let's put this order off for now and send someone to check the latest developments in Qing Country."

Bai Longnv was puzzled and asked, "Why? Don't we usually accept it? This is a large order with a prepayment of 100,000 yuan! What if the Qing people get angry and run away?"

"Don't worry. It's precisely because this is our first cooperation that the Qing people are too generous. We have to be on guard. And I bet that even if we delay, the Qing people won't run away."

"..." Seeing Su Changzhao speak so confidently, Bai Longnu didn't know what to say.

"Relax for now. Go check out Qing's movements first, and we'll discuss it when you come back."

"Okay!" After receiving the order, Bai Longnu left in a hurry.

Since the establishment of the ghost town, their main source of income has been exporting weapons to various countries.

After all, in the next few years, the hero Yu Jiuchen will often fight in various countries, and this is the best opportunity for them to make money in a short period of time.

Of course, ghost towns also have their own principles for doing business:

They only make weapons and will not side with any side.

Every transaction is done without delay, credit or debt.

While they guarantee quality, they also require the buyer to be reputable.

We will have long-term dealings with those who have good cooperation. If the credibility is not good, you will be directly blacklisted and there will be no turning back!

certainly.

In addition to the weapons business, the ghost town also does a mercenary business, similar to the work of a security agency, and there are people doing this in the city.

What remains is some miscellaneous or specialty business. There are many powerful people in the city, such as the inheritor of Yunyan's Eighteen Embroidery Skills. Her embroidery products are very popular in the market.

There is also the Mingdeng Fruit, which is only found on Mingshui Mountain. Its flesh is sweet and mellow, and it is also very popular. It is sought after by many dignitaries from various countries and has become a must-have fruit at high-ranking officials' banquets.

Over time, everyone in the city had a job, their lives became better, and the ghost town became more prosperous.

·

Bai Longnu has always been efficient in her work.

He left in the morning and came back to report in the afternoon.

"Your Excellency's guess is correct. After the Yulong Kingdom annexed two small countries, the Qing Kingdom was afraid that the other party would become bigger, so they planned to take advantage of the other party's rest and recuperation to kill them by surprise. This batch of weapons is what they are going to use to attack Yulong."

When Bai Longnu was reporting, she was always paying attention to the reaction of the woman in black in front of her.

In the past, Su Changzhao always wore a black python robe, but now he changed into women's clothes. The majesty of a superior was not diminished at all, but his eyebrows and eyes became more charming.

Legend has it that the Snow Country's royal family has noble blood and their descendants are all beautiful in appearance, which is absolutely true.

However, what she had just reported deliberately concealed the news that Yu Jiuchen had been assassinated.

This happened yesterday. It is said that soldiers from the Qing Kingdom ambushed Yu Jiuchen near Mingshui Mountain.

Yu Jiuchen has been confirmed dead.

Although Su Changzhao didn't say it over the years, Bai Longnu and others could see that Su Changzhao was still thinking about the heartless Dragon Emperor.

As soon as the other party was mentioned, Su Changzhao's expression immediately changed.

It's not that she was angry or sad. It's just like when a group of people are drinking and chatting happily, as long as they mention anything related to Yu Jiuchen, even if it's just a trivial matter, Su Changzhao will immediately fall silent. No matter how everyone tries to change the subject, she seems to be unable to fit in anymore.

Now that the person is dead, I should try to avoid mentioning it again so as not to make the person sad.

"Since the war between Qing and Yulong is imminent, it is better not to accept the order from Qing for now."

Su Changzhao said.

Bai Longnu understood what she meant. Most of the people in the ghost town were from the Dragon Controlling Kingdom. Even though they had left their homeland, they still favored their motherland in their hearts.

How could they help manufacture weapons when they knew that the enemy was going to attack Yulong?

Even if he couldn't help much in the war, he could still refuse Qingguo's order.

"I knew the city lord would say that," Bai Longnv sighed, "I have already given orders to them to reject the order from the Qing people."

Su Changzhao saw her walk to the table and pour herself a cup of tea. He smiled and followed her: "Don't worry, I'm keeping the children's private school in mind. Once the next payment is settled, I'll put the private school on the agenda."

Hearing this, Bai Longnu grinned, put down her teacup and rushed towards the other person: "Su Yao, you are the best~~"

"..." Looking at the White Dragon Girl who was so good at acting like a spoiled child, Su Changzhao felt helpless.

Ever since she became friends with Bai Longnv, she discovered that the cold-blooded female bodyguard Bai Dada in the original novel is actually a cute girl with a carefree personality, okay?

If it weren't for the pressure of her status as the city lord, she would definitely have become a close friend with her in the boudoir.

"Oh, right!" Bai Longnu suddenly thought of something and let go of Su Changzhao: "Has Jiang Xianfeng not been to Ghost Town for several days?"

"You are talking about Jiang Bo~"

As soon as the name "Jiang Bo" was mentioned, Bai Longnu became furious. She had known him for so many years, but he only allowed Su Changzhao to call him by his name.

It's totally like forgetting friends for the sake of beauty!!

"Yes," Bai Longnv nodded, "I don't know what he's been busy with recently. I'm still hoping he'll bring me something. My uncles and aunts at home are in urgent need of it and have urged me several times."

"Didn't he go to Xia Country? The last letter he wrote said that he would come to Ghost Town in three days at most. You can ask him for it then."

"!!" Hearing this, Bai Longnu was stunned: "He also wrote to you?"

"Don't you have it?" Su Changzhao was stunned.

Bai Longnv slumped her shoulders: "No."

"..." Su Changzhao knew he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly poured himself a cup of tea and said something else: "When we built the city, the Jiang family helped a lot, all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, Jiang Bo wouldn't have helped us so much."

Bai Longnv waved her hand and said, "Let's be honest. My favor only helped the Smiling Fox once, when he provided the boats to leave the Fan River. The ghost town was built later, but it was not my credit. Jiang Xianfeng was so enthusiastic and generous because of you."

"...Hmm." Su Changzhao blinked and took a sip of tea: "You have a point."

Bai Longnu thought there was hope, but Su Changzhao continued, "Hearing what you said, it seems that I do owe Jiang Bo a big favor."

"That's not right~"

"That's good," Su Changzhao put down his teacup, "I'll talk to Jiang Bo alone later."

"What are you talking about?"

"Just ask him...if he is willing to become my sworn brother."

"Puff!!" Bai Longnu almost choked on her saliva.

Seeing this, Su Changzhao pretended to be unhappy: "What's the matter? Did I wrong him? After all, I was once the King of a different surname who controls dragons, and now I am the lord of this ghost town. In the future, the ghost town will surely be famous among the countries. It's not a loss for him to become my sworn brother."

Bai Longnu could tell that she was considering the issue from the perspective of Jiang Xianfeng, a businessman.

Just as Su Changzhao said, with the current development of Ghost Town, it is indeed worthwhile to become sworn brothers with her. It can be said to be a sure win, and it is something that many people dream of.

but.

This is definitely not something that Dongshan Jun Jiang Xianfeng would like to see.

Bai Longnu and Jiang Xianfeng have known each other since childhood.

She had suffered many losses at the hands of Jiang Xianfeng since she was a child. When she heard Su Changzhao's plan, she wanted to give him a warning, but then she thought again, she really wanted to see what Jiang Xianfeng's expression would be if he found out that Su Changzhao wanted to thank him and become sworn brothers with him.

It must be very exciting, right? Hahahaha…

As she thought about it, Bai Longnu became extremely happy.

Three days later.

Jiang Bo led a caravan into the city in a mighty manner.

"Look, it's the Jiang family caravan!"

"Master Jiang is back!"

"Master Jiang, welcome home!"

Jiang Bo sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and accepted the welcome from everyone on the street.

He looks gentle and amiable. If I were to describe him in one word, it would be a breeze, or more accurately, a spring breeze.

Anyone who has met him will have the same feeling.

In addition, he has been creating this style when he is away.

In fact, only a few people know that he has a cold nature. Apart from money, there are very few people and things in the world that can interest him.

but.

Since meeting Su Changzhao a year ago, he has one more thing that interests him.

"Master, look how much the residents of this ghost town love you. They are even more enthusiastic than when we return to the Jiang family!"

The old butler Wang Bo said with a smile.

The gentle and handsome man next to him had a noncommittal smile at the corners of his lips and eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the carriages and the convoy went to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, Su Changzhao's house was packed with people.

She found that since some time ago, whenever Jiang Bo came.

Bai Longnu, Xiao Qinsu, Li Xing, Qingya, Chang Le, and Xue Chen, they would all come to her room without any prior arrangement.

They call it meeting guests, but in fact they are waiting for the other party's gifts.

Yes, whenever Jiang Bo went out for business, he would always bring gifts for everyone when he came back.

Jiang Bo: "Xiaobai, this is the red cedar you asked for last time."

White Dragon Girl: "Thank you."

Jiang Bo: "Miss Xiao, when I went to Xia Country this time, I found a palace medical record. I wonder if it will be helpful to you."

Xiao Qinsu: "Master Jiang is too polite. This book is so precious. I don't know what to say."

Next,

What was given to Li Xing was an exquisitely crafted scabbard, the size of which was exactly right.

What was given to Chang Le was a Buddhist scripture written by a master, which was said to be a unique copy.

What was given to Qingya was a set of protective gear, which was not only lightweight but also of rare material and craftsmanship.

What was given to Xue Chen... was a box.

Jiang Bo just handed it over and hadn't said anything yet, Xue Chen snatched it away with a smile and gave him a look.

"Master Jiang is in charge, I'm at ease."

Seeing this, Jiang Bo just smiled and said nothing.

“…”

Su Changzhao looked at Jiang Bo, who was handing out gifts in front of him with a smile, just like Santa Claus.

It wasn't until the other party had sent messages to everyone and was walking towards her holding a box that she came back to her senses.

Before the other party could speak, she quickly declined, "No, you always bring me gifts every time you come, and those gifts are too expensive. I really can't afford them."

Jiang Bo was stunned for a moment, then looked disappointed and touched the box in his arms.

Seeing him like this, Su Changzhao couldn't help but think of someone in his memory.

In the past, that man also loved to act in front of her.

As long as you act pitiful, she will agree to anything.

Maybe it was a matter of habit. Seeing Jiang Bo so lost, she immediately smiled and snatched the box from his hand.

"Forget it, let's go to the warehouse later and pick something out. We can exchange it."

Jiang Bo knew that if he didn't agree, Su Changzhao would definitely not accept any gift he gave him later.

"Yeah, okay." Smile.

Looking at his handsome and smiling face, the image of someone appeared in Su Changzhao's mind again.

The two faces almost overlap.

She quickly looked away, only to find that she and Jiang Bo were the only ones left in the room.

“…”

Howling inwardly: These little bastards, running so fast?!

She was just about to tell Jiang Bo about her plan for the past few days, which was to become sworn brothers with him, when she knew that another distinguished guest had come to the mansion!

“Hahaha…Xiao Susu, the king is here!”
