Tuoba Tian'er's reaction was very normal.
Being in the political system, she was very sensitive to the development of an enemy country.
Not long ago.
When she was in the North Wei, she had heard of a strange thing.
It was said that in the northwest direction of Qin Country, in a short year or so, a large city had suddenly appeared.
Blue Ji City.
It was a somewhat awkward name.
But there was no one who didn't know about it.
It was all because of its mysteriousness!
In the northwest region, there were no signs of human habitation, and it was desolate for tens of thousands of miles.
A city suddenly appeared and became a trading hub. Some of the merchants in the North Wei knew about this.
Especially some black market merchants.
Originally, they needed to enter from the northeast side of Qin Country, take a roundabout route to the capital of the hinterland, and then carry out the transaction.
Regarding this, both countries would turn a blind eye. As long as they did not sell salt and iron, some trade was still possible.
But recently, those black market merchants actually started to take a detour to that city called Lan Ji City.
The reason why he asked was because the price there was higher than other places.
Moreover, it was a famous place outside the law. There wouldn't be any risks when trading there, and there was no need to take the risk of being deducted by Qin Country officials.
According to the black market merchants, Blue Ji City was a city like the Sky Mansion.
All the joys that one could imagine were there.
The best food, the biggest casino, and the unbelievably big brothels.
They could even buy products from almost all the surrounding countries.
Some of them were hard to buy even in Sun Moon Country.
This also made the place famous for its metal-cutting cave.
No matter how rich they were, they would find a place where they could spend all their money.
This was very difficult!
After all, some people had a lot of wealth. If they stayed in a small place, they wouldn't be able to spend all of it even if they wanted to.
It was as if they were in a remote mountainous region that spanned hundreds of miles. There was only one small shop, and even if they bought everything, they would still be able to buy it. It doesn't cost much, and you're sitting in a mountain of gold... Of course, you would not lose no matter how much you squander. Even if you wanted to gamble... As long as you place a drop in the bucket of your family property, the entire table will be filled with people... No one had the money to open that bell!
But this kind of thing absolutely could not happen in Blue Ji City.
The biggest gambling den was the Gold Hidden Pavilion!
It was fair and reasonable.
Anyone could become rich overnight, and they could also owe money overnight.
Now, in every country, those confident gamblers already had the idea of trying their luck.
The rise of such a place was enviable, jealous, and even hateful!
Those gamblers held true gold and silver. Going back and forth, sooner or later, they would throw it into that small city.
Furthermore, that small city seemed to never disappear.
There were more and more goods coming and going, and there were also more and more merchants. They treated that place as the biggest trading holy land, especially those countries in the northwest of Qin Country. They had even thought of ways to build a passageway that could directly lead to this city!
It was not really to build a bridge to pave the road, but to build some relay stations on both sides of the road.
And this was already very important.
As for the road, even if they didn't need to pave it, it would still be a road with many carriages and horses.
It was precisely because of such a thing that the city that appeared in an instant and quickly became famous in the world had become the most important city in Qin Country, and even in the surrounding countries in the northwest direction!
It was a pearl that no one could ignore.
Tuoba Tian'er heard it and also thought about it. But after thinking about it, she did not understand why such a place would suddenly appear.
Now that she heard what Xiao Yun said, she finally understood.
With a wave of his hand, he built the city in an instant...
Such a magnificent feat could be recorded in the annals of history.
When Xiao Yun spoke, it was as if he didn't have the slightest bit of excitement or pride. It was as if he had done a very simple thing.
Of course, in his mouth, it was a "good deed."
This was enough to make people angry.
It was also enough to make people despair.
Leng Yueling said at the right time, "Even if the Blue Ji City can now completely break away from the support of the blue fairy's mining, the harvesting work has never stopped. This is a ceremony and also a kind of understanding for the people of the Blue Ji City. It is more like a ceremony, and they use this method to express their stance. They knew that everything in Blue Ji City came from that blue demoness. They don't respect the blue fairy, they respect Yun."
" Aiya... "
Xiao Yun said with a blush, "Don't say it out loud. It's embarrassing."
Tuoba Tian'er looked at Xiao Yun and glared at him.
Xiao Yun was embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Actually, other than the first step, there are a few other things that need to be done. The first is policy support. The black market is illegal in other places. Therefore, the local officials will draw a 100% profit. In the end, it will only be 50% profit. And the black market was legal there, without this line of strict donations, even if it was sold at 60%, it would still be more profitable than other places. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the country, it's sacrificing other places... They focused on developing that place. Also, the interference of a large sum of money could be considered as a guarantee of trust. It made people feel that that place was safe. It made people feel that no matter how much money was thrown in, it would not go down the drain. To be able to do this... Not much."
Xiao Yun spread his hands and concluded, "That's why I can do it. It's not that I'm much stronger than others. It's just that the resources in my hands are a little stronger. Just like how you know this method, you can't do it in the Northern Wei. Isn't that so?"
Tuoba Tian'er could not refute.
That's right, the black market was legal. Not only did it break the laws, but it also offended those officials. The complicated network of officials had offended one branch, which was equivalent to offending half of the Imperial Court.
Not to mention sacrificing other regions.
She could not do such a thing.
She couldn't do anything about the promises she made later on.
There was only one Gold Hidden Pavilion in the world, wasn't there?
In the end, Tuoba Tian'er could only sigh helplessly and said with some resentment, "Can't you just calm down a little? Isn't it good to live your life as a rich man? Must cause trouble... "
Xiao Yun burst into laughter.
He then spread out his hands and said, "No."
In front of these two women, Xiao Yun would not lie.
This made Tuoba Tian'er extremely angry. She was so angry that she wanted to make a bet with Xiao Yun.
Previously, Xiao Yun said that if she wanted to be safe now, the best way was to establish a bond with this Five Poisons Village.
But there seemed to be no specific way.
So Tuoba Tian'er made a bet, saying that if Xiao Yun could complete this task, she would never do the right thing to Xiao Yun again.
Xiao Yun happily accepted the bet.
After all, Tuoba Tian'er was a person who kept her word. This kind of verbal promise might not work for others, but for her, it was like the law of jade and gold.
After agreeing to the bet, Xiao Yun suddenly said, "The one who changed the seasoning, exchange with him."
"Ah?"
Don't say.
Tuoba Tian'er had even forgotten about this matter.
After all, if she suddenly knew about the secrets of the Blue Ji City, such as the seasoning and jade bones, then what could she call it?
And now, she also understood the value of the two types of seasoning and was really too embarrassed to talk about the exchange.
"You agreed? Why would you agree?"
Tuoba Tian'er still did not understand.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "First of all, you have tacitly agreed to this matter. It is not good for me to deny your face. Second of all, after all, this is the seasoning. It's expensive, but it's not as expensive as you think. On the contrary, I am very interested in that jade bone."
Therefore, Tuoba Tian'er took the seasoning and walked out in a daze.
She exchanged it for that jade bone.
Looking at the jade bone, Xiao Yun rubbed his chin and muttered, "What kind of wild beast is it? What happened to it? Did it mutate, or did it cultivate? How could there be such a bone?"
He held it in his hand and stroked it for a while.
It felt very good.
It was warm and smooth, and there was not even a bit of greasy.
It was very much like a fossil.
But it was obviously very fresh.
It was indeed a magical thing.
"Put it away. I think it's a good treasure. It's worth it."
Although he said so, none of the other people who wanted to exchange good things for seasoning succeeded.
The next day, Xiao Yun walked out of the house and asked two women to follow him. He walked around the village.
Tuoba Tian'er kept mocking him.
"What? Did you forget our bet? Or did you give up because you knew you couldn't win? "
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly.
"I have to take a look first. It can be considered... an inspection."
"Hmph, unreasonable!"
Xiao Yun shrugged his shoulders.
He did not try to defend himself.
He walked around.
He even went out of the village for a stroll.
He walked along the mountain road for a while, squatted on the ground, looked at the grass, leaned on the riverside, dug mud, and ran to the boulder to wave his hand...
It was obviously a spring outing.
