Chapter 437: Finding Wealth in Danger
After Chang Wei returned home, Gu Chan and the three of them also left with a box of gold each.
On the way back to Wan Yuanfang, Bai Hu didn’t explain, [Master, I don’t understand. Isn’t he afraid that you will take the gold and run away? 】
"The Chang family is one of the first-class families in the Jiangnan area. They must have good hands and eyes. Anyone who wants to hang out in this area will dare to cheat Master Chang's money. He is called self-confidence." Gu Chan explained.
【I see, it seems that Mr. Chang is indeed very courageous. ] said the white fox.
"I know people well, but I don't know their hearts. I want to see what kind of person he really is." Gu Chan said coldly.
The white fox asked, [Master, why are you so interested in him! Logically speaking, just ignore him! It’s okay if you don’t need to collect this box of gold. You can save yourself the trouble! 】
"You know what the heck, I came to Jiangnan to make money. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have more contact with big and wealthy people? Moreover, the Chang family still has a monopoly on the salt transportation industry. This industry can be If you make money, just let me scratch some oil, and a lot of money will come into my pocket." Gu Chan said what he was thinking.
After Bai Hu figured out what she was thinking, he stopped talking and became quiet.
Gu Chan looked at the box of gold in her arms and fell into deep thought.
At the moment, the matter of Yaoduoduo store is unresolved. They are just using the beggars to build their reputation. It will take some time for Di Lin and Yuan Jie to take care of the store.
As for the iron shop, the blacksmiths couldn't finish building the cannon in a while.
So in this case, there is no need for her to worry. If she can make money, she will make money. If she can't make money, she can keep in touch with the big investors. This will be beneficial to her in making money in the future.
Thinking like this, Gu Chan was determined to accompany Chang Wei for a walk in Nifeng Valley this time.
An hour later.
Gu Chan returned to Wanyuanfang in a hurry.
After putting the box of gold on the table, she called someone to call Di Lin and Yuan Jie.
The two came to the room and their eyes widened when they saw the box of gold on the table.
Dilin said in surprise, "Shopkeeper, where did you get so much gold?"
"I have to go out for a few days. Then you can look at this box of gold and spend it. Then you should also take good care of my Shangfang sword and the official uniform, hat and seal of the imperial envoy." Gu Chan ordered.
The two nodded in agreement.
Gu Chan said again, "By the way, have you heard of Nifeng Valley?"
"You want to go to Nifeng Valley?" Yuan Jie said in disbelief.
Gu Chan did not hide anything, and told him in detail that Mr. Chang Wei was seriously ill and urgently needed Kirin blood for medicine.
After the two of them understood it, their doubts were cleared, and they finally knew where Gu Chan got the thousand taels of gold.
But it was after knowing this that they became worried.
Di Lin persuaded, "Shopkeeper, I advise you to return these one thousand taels of gold and don't risk your life by following Mr. Chang to Nifeng Valley."
"Yes! When we went to Jiangnan City to inquire about news, we had heard about Nifeng Valley. It is located to the west of Jiangnan City. It is a long and dark canyon inhabited by many ferocious mysterious beasts. Normally people in Jiangnan area would not dare to go there. It’s easy to step into it,” Yuan Jie added.
Gu Chan's face became solemn.
Obviously, the Headwind Valley is much more dangerous than the border forest. And once she left Jiangnan City and rushed to Niwind Valley, if she met a killer or the like, he would definitely cut her into pieces, and no one would know who did it.
So whether to go or not, you have to weigh it carefully.
Seeing Gu Chan's silence, Di Lin and Yuan Jie also calmed down and gave her time to think.
After a while, Gu Chan said with a stiff face, "Wealth is found in danger. Now is a good opportunity to get in touch with the Chang family. If I want to get some profit from the salt fortune in the future, I can't It’s easy to miss this opportunity, otherwise there won’t be this store after passing this village.”
“Shopkeeper, since this is the case, I won’t persuade you any more, but I suggest you bring more useful ones. If you have something on you, you may be able to save your life at a critical moment," Di Lin reminded.
"The only things I can bring with me now are spiritual herbs, some medicinal blades that were previously developed in Zhongyuan City to stop bleeding and save lives, and my white fox mysterious beast." Gu Chan spread his hands and said.
The key point is that she has been here for so long, but she really hasn’t gotten any powerful weapons or anything like that. Except for good spiritual grass and good mysterious beasts, there are not many things she can get her hands on. There are so many!
Yuan Jie sighed and said, "It seems that we will have to search for some powerful weapons in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome to have no treasure at the critical moment."
"Let's talk about it later! The future is long. Well!" Gu Chan said with a smile.
The two nodded noncommittally.
Gu Chan got up and walked to the bed, took out Shang Fang's sword and a package hidden in the bed, put it on the table and said, "This is Shang Fang's sword and the package containing the imperial envoy's three-piece set. I will give it to you now. Take it back and hide it. You must protect it before I come back, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we can't throw these things away unless we are dead."< br>
"Yes, whoever dares to rob us will step over our bodies."
Di Lin and Yuan Jie said firmly.
Gu Chan believed them and said nothing more.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Di Lin and Yuan Jie left with Shang Fang's sword, the package containing the imperial envoy's three-piece set, and the box of gold.
After they left, Gu Chan lay down on the bed and took a nap. She didn't sleep until dusk in the afternoon, then she packed some luggage, shouldered the baggage, went out with Bai Hu, and rushed towards the Chang Mansion.
When the sun was about to set, Gu Chan finally rode the white fox to the outside of Chang Mansion.
When the guard guarding the door saw her coming, he immediately greeted her with a smile and said, "Little brother, please come in quickly. My young master is already waiting in the front lobby."
"Yes!" Gu Chan said quietly In response, he led the white fox into the Chang Mansion.
Soon she arrived in the front lobby.
In the lobby at this time, apart from Chang Wei sitting at the front seat, the strong man and the woman in red from the morning were also sitting on the chairs on the left waiting.
Chang Wei couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Chan coming and said, "Little brother, I thought you weren't coming!"
"How dare I run away with your Master Chang's money? Ah! I don't have the courage." Gu Chan sneered.
"Sit down!" Chang Wei made a gesture of invitation and said.
Gu Chan immediately walked to the chair next to the woman in red and sat down.
The white fox sat next to her, really well-behaved like a dog, which made the woman in red extremely envious.
Gu Chan rolled his eyes at her and deliberately reached out to hold the white fox's big head in his arms and caress it. She turned her head away in anger.
