#104 - Chapter 104 Trial Sale

Cheng Feng highly valued the long-range attacks of archers.

The power of arrow formations in previous lives' film and television dramas was deeply etched in Cheng Feng's mind. The kind of overwhelming, rain-like arrows, even against thousands of troops, would be enough to cause devastating blows.

Even though the possibility is currently very low, it is difficult to resist the galloping thoughts in Cheng Feng's mind.

The opening speech of the Hongmen was very successful, and the disciples' eyes had the same kind of light.

That is the belief and thought that Cheng Feng wants to see.

Cheng Feng felt a burden lifted from his heart.

Currently, the industries are two completely different paths: the liquor industry, with meager profits but huge sales; and refined salt, with small quantities but large profits. These two different business methods make it difficult to see the connection between them, which is also more conducive to Cheng Feng hiding his true intentions.

Cheng Feng still has a good understanding of his business. When he took out the refined salt, Wang Hu already had a general idea in his mind. Although Cheng Feng doesn't know much about those complex tricks, it doesn't matter, after all, the boss pays wages to let his subordinates help him do things!

After some communication, Cheng Feng decided to let Wang Hu first contact the merchants and try a wave of private transactions to explore the way.

For the first time, Cheng Feng also went with him, wanting to take this opportunity to broaden his horizons.

So, he carefully dressed himself up. Cheng Feng dressed up as a servant, smeared some black ash on his face, and the originally handsome him instantly became rustic.

In addition, Wang Hu also brought Sun Gui and Zhou Hai, serving as the force behind this operation.

A group of four people quietly waited in a remote corner outside Qingxi County.

In the middle of the night, the owls in the desolate forest cooed, the night wind was very strong, and the leaves rustled.

The night moon also hid behind the dark clouds.

Faced with this dark perspective, Wang Hu took the initiative to say to Cheng Feng: "At this hour, they should be coming soon."

Cheng Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. More than just understanding, the realm of early blood refinement greatly increased Cheng Feng's five senses.

In the evening breeze, there was not only the sound of leaves beating, but also the sound of two people moving around Cheng Feng and the others.

It seems to be observing something in secret.

Cheng Feng knew what was going on in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't startle the snake.

The other party observed for a while, and finally saw some clues: Wang Hu's group was not large in number, and they did not look like they were sent by the government.

At this moment, it was pitch black all around, and only bursts of bird calls kept ringing. Wang Hu put his left hand on his lips and made a series of calls, as if communicating and echoing with someone or something in that dark forest.

After some special "communication", the sound of horses' hooves finally came from a distant place. In this endless darkness, six tall and mighty horses loomed and slowly moved forward, like giant beasts in the night, revealing an aura of devouring people.

The six horses kept circling around Cheng Feng and the others, and a trace of impatience gradually rose in Cheng Feng's heart. Just as he was about to take action,

He noticed that these men's chests were open, and their muscles were strong and sturdy. Every one of their movements contained some kind of martial art, although Cheng Feng didn't quite understand the mystery, he could still feel a faint dangerous aura coming towards him.

Cheng Feng came out this time just to increase his knowledge, so naturally he handed over everything to Wang Hu to handle.

When the horses stopped circling, Wang Hu clasped his fists and stepped forward and said: "May I ask if Sui Ran is here in person?"

The leader didn't speak, but the second-in-command next to him disdainfully said: "There's no need to be so polite. Anyone who knows our set is basically here to sell good stuff. Hurry up and take it out for us to see. If we can use it, we'll sell it for you. I get 30% and you get 70%. If we can't use it, you can quote your own price. There's only one chance. It's better to go back and sleep with a woman than to talk nonsense."

Wang Hu was not angry, but instead introduced himself very politely: "I am the deputy leader of the Hongmen. Recently, our sect has obtained a batch of superior goods, and we have come here to ask Chief Sui to personally inspect them to see if they meet your black market requirements and standards."

Sui Ran, who had been silent on the side, turned his gaze to the smallest man among the group. This man exuded a dangerous aura that made Sui Ran feel uneasy.

Seeing that the man did not speak, Sui Ran did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He waved his hand to signal the second-in-command behind him not to continue to speak, raised the lit torch, and quickly urged his horse forward a few steps, saying to Wang Hu in a condescending manner: "Take out the things you brought and show them to me!"

At this moment, Wang Hu was fully prepared. After all, the situation of this batch of goods was relatively special and inconvenient to publicize. If the two sides could not reach an agreement, I am afraid that the problem could only be solved by force.

Wang Hu took out a delicate small cloth bag from his chest and threw it to Sui Ran,

The second-in-command next to him shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, boss!"

Sui Ran casually caught it: "There's no need to be so careful. Everyone is careful for the sake of money. No one will disagree with money. Isn't this bag a sample?!"

He looked at Wang Hu with suspicion, but his tone was undeniably certain.

Wang Hu said: "That's right, Chief Sui is amazing."

Sui Ran smiled casually. He had heard a lot of flattery.

He pinched the feel of the bag in his hand. The particles were like fine sand. Sui Ran's eyes suddenly changed. He reached out and dipped a little out of the bag. The pure salty taste brewed in his mouth. There was no earthy smell, nor the astringent heaviness.

Sui Ran looked at Wang Hu, who was smiling in front of him: "I have never heard of the name Hongmen before!"

Wang Hu had already prepared a draft in his mind: "A newly established small gang, naturally can't get into Chief Sui's eyes. Is Chief Sui going to do this business or not?"

Seeing that Chief Sui already knew what was in the bag,

Wang Hu naturally didn't need to be coy. Cheng Feng and the two had already talked about it before he came. The less people who know about this matter, the better.

Although the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is already in a state of decay, it is still a behemoth that Cheng Feng cannot climb over.

Making a fortune without attracting the attention of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the goal set by Cheng Feng.

Even within the Hongmen, only Wang Hu knows that the Hongmen will sell refined salt later.

As the saying goes: "Store grain widely, build high walls, and postpone becoming king."

Cheng Feng has no great ambitions in his heart, and only wants to pursue self-preservation, but he feels that the flames of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty are raging everywhere, and blood and fire are right in front of him. In order to protect himself, Cheng Feng must prepare in advance.

Therefore, Cheng Feng followed along for the first time, acting as a servant, so as to serve as a facade for the Hongmen, and also to raise the face of the Hongmen.

In addition, to prevent unforeseen events, killing people and silencing them is also inevitable.

On a tree not far away, Babai was also lurking with a bow and arrow.

This is really lurking, motionless, without breathing, without heartbeat, without eating, and can also endure loneliness.

Waiting for Cheng Feng's order, an arrow would pierce the head of the person in front of him.
