Chapter 146 The Story of the Trader

A bonfire with bright yellow and faint blue colors rises and jumps in the dark night.

"I heard of this story too." Chen Shanzhi looked at the bonfire and said slowly, "It happened in Tianliang City in our Tianliang. I heard that it happened just a few years ago."

Tianliang City is the only city in Tianliang, where the official Tianliangli Yamen and Yiluansi are all there.

"If you want to talk about where the most vendors in Tianliang are, it must be Tianliang City. Most of these vendors rely on going outside to collect valuable goods and then return to Tianliang City to sell for profit."

"Sometimes they will go to other villages in Tianliang to receive goods, but because we are too remote and have no valuable things, we rarely see them."

"You younger generations may not be very clear." Chen Shanzhi looked at Zhou Fan and the others with young, sallow faces and smiled. His eyes were reflected by the fire, and it was difficult to see the emotions in his eyes.

"Even if the vendors go abroad to receive goods, the risk is not small, not to mention that they cannot stay on the ruler road all the time. There are always times when they leave the ruler road. How do you say they ensure their safety?"

"Some vendors are warriors themselves. They can ensure their safety in the wild, but it is impossible for all vendors to be warriors." Chen Shanzhi almost asked and answered.

"If those non-warriors sellers want to go to the wild to collect goods, they have to hire warriors to protect themselves, but the number of warriors is too small and the price is expensive. Even if those sellers often raise money together to hire warriors, the cost is also very high for them."

"After going, if there is any problem with the goods collected, it will be lost. Even if there is no problem after one trip, the cost of the smoothly successful warriors will be reduced to their profits."

"But vendors cannot do without the help of warriors, otherwise it would be no different from going out of the wilderness and dying. Basically, no non-warrior vendor dares to receive goods without bringing warriors."

"The reason why it is said to be basic is that there will always be a few vendors who dare to take risks for the sake of profits. One of them is Tian Xiangming, who is probably the most courageous."

"Hey, how brave is this person? Even if the vendors who dare to take risks are bold enough to join in groups, they will buy a few talismans such as small flame talismans that can harm monsters before departure, and they can deal with monsters when they encounter them."

"But this man is on the road alone. He has never brought talismans for combat, such as the nighttime talismans, and a friend asked him why he didn't buy talismans that hurt monsters?"

"Tian Xiangming shook his head and said it was too expensive, and he couldn't bear to let it go. He also said that if he encountered a strange man, he wouldn't be able to beat it, and it would be useless to have those talismans."

"People in the city think that Tian Xiangming is seeking death when he does this, but surprisingly, everyone thinks that when he doesn't live long, he goes out to collect goods again and again, and comes back again and again!"

"No one knows how this person did it?" Chen Shanzhi looked amazed, "Some vendors speculated that Tian Xiangming had found a safe route to receive goods, and that route was so safe that it would not encounter monsters."

"Tian Xiangming did not invite warriors to receive goods, which saved a lot of money, so he received generous rewards, which inevitably attracted others' attention. Some people tried to follow Tian Xiangming and tried to find out the secret that he could ensure his safety if he did not invite warriors."
