As the saying goes, spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially for the cold and frozen north in the summer, especially for the farmers who sow large tracts of land, as if they are waiting for this spring rain as a clarion call to charge, and then rise up together, thrive, and get a good harvest.

But for the northernmost Tianmen Pass of the boundless land of Great Xia, the continuous drizzle can be described as an undesirable thing, all year round, in addition to the wind and snow, the Tianmen Pass is still wind and snow, and even under the three-year polar night in the snow field, even the sun is a rare thing.

However, the people who came to Tianmen Pass to trade have already adapted to the harsh climate that is very different from the Central Plains, especially the southern city of Tianmen Pass, where a large number of people gather and are extremely busy, and a lamp burns in the dark, illuminating the entire icy and snowy land around it.

Tianmen Pass South City Central Street, although not long ago, the Bei'an Wang's son-in-law Tianmen Hou Jiangqing led the elite of the northern army from the north city to clean some of the big chambers of commerce in the south of the city, but the busy scene here is still unabated, a hunter and caravan who hunt and sell snow beast skins for a living will be hard to get the booty, loaded in a carriage, and then sold all the brains to the large chamber of commerce on the central street to obtain a lot of profits.

However, it is worth mentioning that since some time ago, the Nanke Chamber of Commerce, which has always been based on the purchase of snow beast oil at a low price, suddenly began to buy snow beast fur in a big way, and the price is not low, so that there are more Tianmen Pass merchants in and out of the Nanke Chamber of Commerce than before, and it is more lively.

In the noisy hall on the first floor of the South Guest Chamber of Commerce, in the study on the top floor, the husband entered the snowfield to go to business, and the middle-aged young woman who supported the huge Chamber of Commerce alone, according to the usual habit, held a cup of hot tea in her hand, stood quietly by the window, looking at the city below that was illuminated by the lights in the dark, and then she spoke softly, and a faint voice came out:

"Steward Wang, how is the situation of fur purchases these days, can it reach the amount of the household department?"

The middle-aged young woman's voice was as calm as ever, and then the steward standing in the corner of the study raised his hand and arched forward, and responded:

"Mrs. Hui, although the time given by the household department of the imperial court is a little tight, but because the bid is much higher than that of the general chamber of commerce, so by yesterday, the amount given above was basically completed, and earlier, the northern army and an official of the household department came to count and check, they were very satisfied, and they also said a lot of words of encouragement. ”

In the corner of the study, the response of the white-haired and old-fashioned steward was filled with a hint of pride, and it was true that he could be praised by the officials of the household department, which showed that this time the Nanke Chamber of Commerce had done a very good job in collecting furs.

Then Mrs. Fang by the window nodded, and continued to speak:

"It's so good, Marquis Jiang's words are trustworthy, and the grievances are clear, helping us to take the line of the household department, it can be said that I have entered the emperor's eye, so this is a great opportunity for my Nanke Chamber of Commerce. ”

The middle-aged young woman raised the steaming tea in her hand, took a sip lightly, and after contemplating for a while, she continued to speak:

"I was fortunate enough to be on the big ship of the court officials, and if the head of the family returned with pearls, I would be surprised. ”

"Madame's business skills are seen by the people below, no matter how the situation changes, she can always make the best judgment, if the lord returns from the north, he will definitely hang the words of praise on his lips for days. ”

The older steward looked at the back of Mrs. Fang in front of him, showed a heartfelt smile, and said with a smile, he almost watched the development of this Nanke Chamber of Commerce to its current scale, and also regarded this big chamber of commerce in Tianmen Pass as his home.

The old steward's words fell, and then he heard Mrs. Fang's not light and heavy voice ring in his ears again:

"Count the days, the head of the family and the Chamber of Commerce should be about to arrive in Liuli City, and it will be slow when I go, but since I returned from Liuli City, it must be much faster, but for some reason, since a few days ago, my heart has not been able to settle down, this feeling is too tormenting.

"When the line of the household department is completely stabilized, and the head of the family comes back, I will talk to him well, and don't go to the dangerous snowfield to do business again. ”

After Mrs. Fang, who was standing by the window, finished speaking, the study on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce then fell into silence, as one of the rapidly rising forces in the southern city of Tianmen Pass, the intelligence ability of the Nanke Chamber of Commerce is not weak, so he is also aware of the recent series of actions in Tianmen Pass and Shenjing City, and there is a faint conjecture in his heart.

A great war is about to sweep the far north!

The two armies are facing each other, and the crisis of the situation of the Nanke Chamber of Commerce in the middle of the gap is self-evident, so thinking of this, the solemn color on Mrs. Fang's face became stronger, and the hand holding the teacup was also quietly forced, and then continued to speak:

"Pay attention to the movements of the Northern Army in Beicheng, God bless Your Majesty not to send troops north so quickly, at least let the head of the family leave the entire vortex land of Liuli City. ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

In the corner of the study, the older shopkeeper nodded in agreement, his face was also not good-looking, and then he seemed to think of something, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said softly:

"Speaking of the movement of Beicheng, earlier in Beicheng Jiang, the Marquis of Beicheng personally re-entered Nancheng with his personal guards, and greeted a young man from the Central Plains at the gate of Nancheng, and called him Yuan Sicheng, but the strange thing is that this young man did not bring a large number of followers, and it can almost be said that he came alone. ”

The voice of the older steward fell, and Mrs. Fang, who was by the window, turned around, squinted her eyes and fell into thought, and muttered:

"Yuan Sicheng, young man?"

After thinking about it for a long time, a young name appeared directly in her mind, and then the middle-aged young woman raised her head suddenly, looked at the older shopkeeper and blurted out directly:

"Cheng Yuanbai, the director of the Great Xia Teleportation Division, shoulders the heavy responsibility of placing the teleportation stone statue tower, and his arrival at Tianmen Pass means that Shenjing City will send a large number of people here, in other words, the White Emperor Palace is going to do something to the snow field, faster than everyone imagined.

"These cold-proof animal skins purchased at Tianmen Pass were not sent to Shenjing City, but directly sent to Beicheng City for battle!"

"Ahh

Just as the face of the female shopkeeper of the Nanke Chamber of Commerce changed suddenly, on the iron-blooded Beicheng Avenue of Tianmen Pass, a young sneeze came from a carriage supported by heavy soldiers, and then another calm and cold inquiry sounded in the carriage:

"Yuan Sicheng comes from the south where the four seasons are warm, and the climate at the gate is still too cold this day, but he has to dress warmly. ”

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, it must be my lady in Shenjing City who is missing me. ”

Inside the carriage, the pale-faced Yuan Bai shrank back, gritted his teeth that were frozen and gurgling, and showed an extremely ugly smile, but secretly said bitterly in his heart:

"This place must be hell?
