The demon world I designed

"No boat?"

Shen Yiyun frowned and looked at Shen Yiyan who had come to report: "Are there no cargo ships?"

With the current situation in Liuzhou, it is indeed difficult for Shen Yiyan to find a gorgeous private cruise ship, but with so many merchants returning recently, finding a cargo ship to take them on a ride shouldn't be a problem, right?

"It's a coincidence..." Shen Yiyan also had a wry smile on his face: "The goods receiving situation has been very good these days. Because of the tax exemption, many merchants have just finished unloading the goods and then quickly collected a batch of local goods and went to the north. After all, No one knows when Liuzhou’s tax-free policy will be lifted, and everyone is rushing to make a second wave of profits.”

Shen Yiyun immediately understood that this was true. The merchant tax in Shanxi was extremely heavy. It used the superimposed tax invented by the King of Qin. It imposed low taxes on low-income transactions and heavy taxes on high-profit transactions, especially the hugely profitable business of transporting goods from the north to the south. , taxes can account for up to 30% of profits!

This is not a small amount. Now that Liuzhou is tax-free and the largest dock, merchants who have tasted the benefits will rush to do it a second time as long as they are not stupid.

"Are there no new merchants entering the port?" Shen Yiyun asked doubtfully.

The reputation of Liuzhou's goalkeeper has been spreading for more than ten days. Although the time is short and the spread is limited, there should be news at least two docks next door, right? Coupled with the Nanming government's public announcement that Liuzhou is tax-free, there should be a steady stream of new merchants coming in.

"That's it..." Shen Yiyan also wondered: "The day before yesterday, the number of new cargo ships was still rising, but since yesterday, it seems that no new ships have entered the port. I went to take a look at my own cargo ship today. "The number of goods received in the past two days has dropped a lot, especially today, there is basically no goods available on the market."

Shen Yiyun's pupils shrank when he heard this, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. He asked in a low voice: "There is not even a new ship?"

"No..." Shen Yiyan shook his head: "I have inquired several times. Starting from afternoon, there is not a single new ship at the port."

"Let's go to the port and have a look!"

"Second brother, what's going on?" Lao Jiu Chen Yizhuo asked, rubbing his eyes.

He didn't know if it was because he ate too much during the day, but he always felt very tired and a little sleepy. To be honest, he didn't want to travel all night at all. I really don't know what the second brother was worried about?

Murong Yunji frowned and glanced at Shen Yiyun but didn't say much, remaining unusually silent.

In this way, several people followed Shen Yiyan all the way to the port.

When we arrived at the port, we saw an unexpected person.

"Master Chen is here too?"

It has just arrived in April, and the wind at the pier is still very cold at night. There are no new ships entering the port, and basically no one is willing to stay here. The huge pier is originally empty, which also leads to the dignified prefect standing here blowing the wind. , it feels really abrupt.

Chen Qing did not look back, but kept staring blankly into the distance.

Shen Yiyun followed the other person's gaze in confusion. I don't know when a layer of fog began to spread on the sea. It was very wide and covered almost all the sea level that could be seen with the naked eye.

It's not unusual for fog to appear on this sea. What is this guy looking at?

"Mr. Shen, do you want to leave overnight?"

Just when Shen Yiyun was confused, Chen Qing's faint voice came, making Shen Yiyun immediately alert.

Looking at Chen Qing, who was still looking at the sea in a daze, he frowned, then smiled and said: "What? Your Excellency, you don't want me to leave?"

"I don't want to..." Chen Qing nodded honestly.

When Shen Yiyun heard this, he became very vigilant. He took a step back slightly, his eyes formed a dharma wheel, and he carefully observed his surroundings.

If the young man in white is lurking around during the day, he must be careful. When a warlock faces that kind of warrior, the next person who doesn't pay attention at close range may be killed.

"What if I have to leave?"

"Then I can't stop you..." Chen Qing sighed and shook his head.

Shen Yiyun: "……."

There is a feeling of holding your breath and then being distracted...

"But it doesn't matter." Chen Qing sighed and turned back: "You can't leave anyway..."

"Why do you say that, sir?" Shen Yiyun frowned, feeling that the guy in front of him was not talking in a funny way, but he did not seem to have any intention of doing anything.

"You will know soon." Chen Qing said no more. After seeing this layer of fog that never dissipated, he knew that there was no luck...

That thing...is really here!

After making a farewell gesture, Chen Qing walked directly into the city, leaving only the three Shen family members in a daze.

"Second brother, what is this guy doing? He's just pretending to be a ghost."

"I hope I'm just pretending." Shen Yiyun looked at the sea with some uneasiness, and then looked at Shen Yiyan: "Have you called the helmsman of the merchant ship?"

"The message has been sent and will be here soon!" Shen Yiyan quickly replied.

But there is doubt in my heart. Now that Liuzhou is tax-free, it is a good opportunity to receive a large amount of goods. Other merchants are eager to bring more big ships over, but this guy is lucky. A few people are going back to Nanyang and want to sail away this big cargo ship. They are anxious to go back. Incense?

I complained in my heart, but I didn't dare to delay. I contacted the helmsman who had already found accommodation in the city early.

"Second brother, is it really necessary?" Shen Laojiu asked curiously.

Even if he didn't understand business, he knew that such a large cargo ship would have to collect enough cargo. It was indeed a luxury to just pull the three of them.

Shen Yiyun looked at the mist on the sea, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said, "It's good to be able to walk..."

Murong Yunji also became unusually serious. She looked at the sea and had an indescribable feeling. She felt like there was something there, but she couldn't feel it when she looked closely...

——

"Wow..."

Early in the morning, Zhou Haitao, who had rarely had a good sleep, stretched out of the yard with great satisfaction.

During the few days after taking office, Chen was used like a bullock. All the chores were placed on him, and he couldn't sleep for two hours a day. He was even more tired than when he was studying.

Especially recently, with the population returning, more and more things have happened, but since yesterday afternoon, for some reason, no new ships have entered the port. The lack of trade registration work allowed him to finish the work before midnight yesterday, if it weren't for The bloody scene in the military camp was so horrifying that it made him feel a little uneasy before going to bed, fearing that he would have to sleep better.

Satisfied, he was going to hang out with Ma Erniang first, then have breakfast, and then go to North Street to see how many people were coming back. But when he walked into the yard, he saw a pale face with two dark circles under his eyes. Chen Qing.

"grown ups?"

This scene made Fatty feel a little weird, because he was usually busy all night until dawn, and when he returned to the house with dark circles under his eyes, he saw someone who was refreshed and ready to go out.

Why is it the other way around today?

"Huh?" Chen Qing looked up, obviously in a trance.

"You just came back?" Zhou Haitao asked cautiously.

"Well..." Chen Qing nodded.

"My lord...where have you gone?"

Could it be that he went to that beautiful concubine’s yard?

Has this hateful guy finally begun to indulge in extravagance?

"Chengtou..."

"What are you doing at the top of the city, sir?"

"Let's see if the fog comes into town."

"ah?"

"It's nothing..." Chen Qing shook his head and said quickly as if he suddenly remembered something, "Have Gu Bei and the others come back?"

"Well, considering the agreed time, I should be back today. What's wrong, sir?"

"Okay..." Chen Qing nodded: "When they come back today, I'll tell them not to go to the countryside and let them come to my place. I have other instructions."

"Okay, boss..." Zhou Haitao responded quickly, and then asked: "What do you need from me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing glanced at the other party silently, hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "Haitao, where does your father do business?"

"Baishui County..."

"Okay..." Chen Qing said quickly: "Today is a day off. You go back to Baishui County and pick up your father and your other brothers and sisters. Remember, come back before dark!"

"Ah?" Zhou Haitao was stunned: "Boss, don't scare me, but what happened?"

The fat man thought of the bloody situation in the military camp yesterday, and suddenly his heart suddenly trembled.

"Just go if I ask you to do it. Why is there so much nonsense? Do you still want to do it?"

"Oh, okay, okay!" No more nonsense, the fat man ran towards the door.

Chen Qing looked at Zhou Haitao's back, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

This worry is not directed at Haitao. After all, Baishui County is not far from here. Unless there is an accident before dark, Fatty should be able to make it back.

He is more worried about his mother. Before, he wanted them to return to Liuzhou as soon as possible. But now, under the current situation, he wants them to stay far away, preferably outside Jiangnan!

"It's really...funny!"

Chen Qing was so depressed that he wanted to smash the wall. He didn't understand why accidents always happened. Even if the ghost version was unlocked in advance, why was that thing in the sea released?

Which person who kills a thousand cuts has nothing to do when he is full?

"Young man...it seems you know what this fog represents."

A deep voice sounded from Chen Qing's chest. It was the Mirror Demon who had not spoken for a long time.

"You know that too, don't you?" Chen Qing said dully.

"Nonsense, there is nothing in this world that I don't know!"

"Yeah?"

"But you are an exception..." The Mirror Demon said dully: "You are just like that freak King Qin, you are an anomaly!"

"Let's not talk about the anomalies for now." Chen Qing said seriously: "That thing is locked in the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley. Why was it released? Do you know the reason?"

"You actually know about Jiutian Mirror Valley?" The mirror demon said curiously: "Tsk, tsk, in that case, how come you can't guess who released it?"

Chen Qing frowned. According to the design of his partner, after the Xuanzong Fox Demon Rebellion in the previous dynasty, when the ancient times returned, powerful things would slowly come, but there was a sequence. After all, the monsters he designed were too powerful. If they were all swarmed, Come on, even the krypton gold boss will die without leaving any trace!

If we go by version order, after the fox demon comes the resurrection of the earth spirit, then the yin and yang illusion, the dragon girl holding the lamp, and the descending of the god statue from the sky. These three phenomena will represent the unfolding of three major ancient forces, namely the land of reincarnation, the ancient Dragon Palace, Demonic Realm from Beyond the World!

The three forces have different directions and will guide players to unlock different terrifying ancient times. Of course, they will also be confronted with different forces during the unlocking process.

The guy in the mist is the second boss in the Ancient Dragon Palace route. This thing actually appeared before the spiritual energy was revived, and the dragon girl has not yet appeared. This is very inconsistent with the original partner setting.

The setting is messed up... This is Chen Qing's biggest worry, because his biggest reliance is his understanding of the setting, just like the understanding of history by someone who has traveled through ancient times.

Once history is messed up...the ability of prediction that time travelers can most rely on will be gone...

Hehe, the outcome will be determined this Friday. Audience gentlemen, please continue to support the Rubik's Cube, thank you! !
