  Han Li departed from his hometown and traveled facing southeast, heading straight for Lanzhou.

  During the journey, he had both partnered with others and traveled through the downtown area together, as well as walking alone in the wilds of the mountains because he wanted to take a shortcut. Halfway up, there is no great danger, the only accident, or in some wild camping, encountered a few hungry red-eyed wolves, the result also became Han Li’s belly dinner.

  Along the way, he had traveled through two other states in a row before arriving in Lanzhou with a lot of hard work.

  As soon as he entered the boundaries of Lanzhou, Han Li was greatly surprised by the well-connected waterways. It must be known that the Yuezhou where he was originally from was mostly barren and hilly, not to mention the canals and lakes, there weren’t even many decent small rivers, and the draught was mostly based on wells and creeks.

  As a result, Han Li was greatly interested in the various types of boats that traveled through the waterways, and in the end, under the influence of curiosity, he still chartered this small boat and got his first taste of going downstream.

  As a result, ten days later, Han Li arrived at Jiayuan City mentioned in Dr. Mo’s letter with smooth sailing, and stepped onto this inconspicuous pier.

  The first thing that Han Li saw about this pier was that it was too lousy.

  The entire dock is made of simple wooden planks, not only is the place narrow and simple, but also the east a west corner of the heap is everywhere rotten baskets, broken bags, obviously dirty and unimaginable. And in the dock built the only two bamboo hut, each stood dozens of strong man, these men either bare upper body, or only wear a short coat, all reveal a tough flavor.

  Right now, all of these men were staring at him and Qu Soul without blinking, and some of them even had eager eyes in their eyes.

  Han Li froze for a moment but then smiled faintly.

  Before leaving the canoe to go to the pier, the boatman who operated the boat had enthusiastically reminded him that there was an unwritten rule at the pier in this part of Jiayuan City, that no matter how many items the disembarking merchants were carrying, they would have to spend money to hire one of the hard laborers at the pier to help carry their things. If not, they will be treated poorly by these hard laborers, and may even be beaten up.

  When Han Li first arrived here, he didn’t have the idea of breaking other people’s rules of the trade, so he honestly greeted, “I want to hire a footman, is there anyone who’s coming!”

  Sun Ergou had withdrawn his gaze by this time. Through some scrutiny just now, he had already decided in his heart that this young man who had just gotten off the boat was most likely the young master of a certain landlord’s family, while that giant man was definitely a bodyguard with a bit of stupid strength. This kind of combination appeared in Jiayuan City every year, they came here to open their eyes, spend a little bit of money, and then go back to show off a little bit, so there was nothing to care about.

  However, such people also love to be the most fat-faced, and are good ingrates! As long as a few compliments are given to them, these country bumpkins will usually give a lot of extra money in addition to the promised transportation money. So it’s a very lucrative business for the individuals hired on.

  However, this time, it was not their turn to do business. Because according to him and the black bear agreed in advance, the two sides take turns to take the door of the business, who is not allowed to compete, the size of the business good or bad, but also rely on the luck of the two sides of the decision, and they just took a yesterday, so this time to the opposite side of the black bear’s people to pick up.

  Thinking of this, Sun Ergou looked at the opposite side, only to see Black Bear to the surrounding men, whispered a few words, and then a man gleefully ran out of the crowd, rushing toward the young man.

  ”No, you can’t move it alone, it’s best to call another person.” Han Li looked at the very sturdy han in front of him, and then took a look at the oversized package on Qu Soul’s body, and gently shook his head.

  ”This young master, for something this small, I can carry it up with one hand, there’s no need to find another person.” The hanyou didn’t want another person to share his bounty, and besides, he didn’t think that even if that parcel was bigger, he wouldn’t be able to carry it himself, unless it was full of stones.

  After saying that, the hanyou walked up to Qu Soul and was about to snatch the parcel without a second thought.

  Han Li sighed, this parcel can have thousands of taels of silver, as well as other miscellaneous things, the weight can be really not light, is not ordinary people can withstand.

  But he saw that this person was so enthusiastic, he had no choice but to secretly ask Qu Soul to hand over the parcel to this person and not to compete with him.

  Sure enough, this strong man once received the big bag, immediately face changed greatly, he struggled to carry on the body did not walk up a few steps, has been red in the face panting, he had to shamefully put the package down, go back to call another person.

  Han Li saw that the two people could finally lift this parcel, and only then did he nod his head in satisfaction, quickly leaving the pier and walking along the road towards the city.

  Han Li didn’t know that he had let two pairs of greedy eyes stare at him due to his inexperience in the jianghu world, and was about to get into some trouble that he shouldn’t have gotten into.

  Sun Erdog looked at the young man’s fading back and finally withdrew his salivating eyes, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at the opposite Black Bear. He knew very well that the great wealth hidden in the parcel definitely couldn’t be hidden from the other party’s eyes either.

  As expected, the black bear also had a surprised look on his face, and at this moment, after hesitating for a while, he still made a wink at Sun Ergou. Sun Ergou immediately understood and walked with him to a nearby garbage pile. In such a large sum of money before, even if there is a hate to kill his father and take away his wife, Sun Erdog will also cooperate with each other, after all, it is “people die for money, birds die for food”.

  ”Fifty-fifty!” Sun Er Dog whispered straight to the point.

  ”Thirty-seven percent, this is supposed to be our side of the business” Black Bear nonchalantly rejected in one bite.

  ”Forty-six, it can’t be any less, you should know that the reason you just said just now doesn’t hold water at all.” Sun Er Dog grimaced and said with a pinch of salt.

  ”This ……” Black Bear hesitated, obviously still can’t give up this one more point of interest to give up.

  ”Hmph! If you think about it for a while longer, I’m afraid that the people of other gangs will have their eyes on this fat sheep.” After humming, Sun Ergou coldly said.

  ”Alright! It’s settled, let’s high-five.” The black bear was obviously touched by these words and finally agreed.

  ”Pah,” “Pah,” “Pah,” after Sun Er Dog and Black Bear each spat on their hands, they gave each other three high fives, temporarily forming a covenant.

  ”Alright, let’s quickly catch up with each other, don’t let this kid run into a crowded place.” Sun Er Dog hurriedly urged to.

  ”Hehehe! Don’t worry about it, I let those two henchmen, take them away from the Black Water Alley, rush there now, just in time to block them.” Black Bear suddenly revealed a treacherous smile that did not match his appearance.

  ”That’s great, good plan, old brother!” Sun Ergou revealed a look of surprise on the surface, but in his heart, he was in awe, and secretly strengthened his guard against Black Bear by a few points.
