Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Six: Where's the Wine [Airey]
The strong man in front of him had a red face and an unstable body. After speaking, Ai Lei could smell the alcohol even from a slash;
There is no doubt that this is a drunk - but where can there be so much wine in Hunter?
After visiting half of the market, Ailei couldn't find a place to sell alcohol, and there was not even a restaurant in the city. Even no matter how addicted people are to drink like this, they can't drink like this in this town, right?
"Relax your hand and ask if there is any problem to solve it." Aire did not weaken his aura, but instead took a step forward: "I am ordering you."
"Oh, you guy has a tough temper;" the drunk man became interested in Ai Lei and pushed the thin man aside: "I liked his pavilion and asked him to do business in another place. This guy doesn't give him face, what's wrong with me hitting him?"
"There is no one in the Ryin collar..."
"I'll go!" Seeing that Ailei was about to talk loudly again, the drunkard cursed and rushed towards Ailei directly;
Ailey sighed lightly, flashed the drunkard's rushing sideways, and then punched the latter's chin and knocked him to the ground. The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag;
"Actually, I prefer to use my fists to solve problems..." Ailey spread his hands, "I haven't been moving for several days."
Fran breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at it - she just told Aly to "don't hurt", which meant to let Aly take action lightly; now it seems that the drunk man should have nothing to do.
Anyway, Ailei is also a mercenary of the "Iron Leopard" level. A strong man who only relies on his body shape is not an opponent of Ailei even if he is not drunk.
"You, dare you hit me!" The drunk man got up and pointed at Aley angrily: "Let me tell you, there is mine in the guard... Ah, Brother Gang, why are you here? Hehe, just right, look at this guy... Uh, you guys are?"
The drunkard then found that several soldiers were standing beside him with dark faces.
"I'll ask you a question." Alay walked forward with a kind smile, "Where did you buy your wine?"
"Are you selling... a wine seller?" The drunk man saw that the situation was wrong, and he had already sobered up most of the wine. The tenth husband he knew was standing by his side now, and he had no intention of helping him;
"Where? What are the characteristics? How did you buy so much wine?" Elay continued;
"I, I don't know, but his wine is very cheap..." The drunk man was completely timid, "Yes, sorry..."
"Come two people to wake him up, and then hit him ten boards according to the orders he received by Rein." Ayre waved his hand, "You have to talk to the count when you go back. Go."
Before the drunkard could beg for mercy, the two soldiers dragged him down; the people watching the show ended and left one after another.
"Huh, you... you look something wrong." Alay looked at the thin man who had just gotten up, "Fran, help him?"
"Yeah." Fran unfolded a magic circle casually, and the bruises on the thin man's face disappeared a lot.
"So...thank you!" Seeing that the pain on your face was relieved, the thin man bowed to the two of them repeatedly and saluted: "The two adults are really grateful for their actions!"
"You look like a travel merchant?" Ailey looked up and down the thin man, "they look very similar."
"That's right!" the thin businessman nodded, "I came to do business from the North. I thought of selling some scarce supplies here. Who would have encountered this unreasonable bully..."
"Since you are a travel merchant, you must know something about the situation in the North, right?" Ailey's eyes shone. "Tell me what's going on in Bianfeng City? Don't tell me that you haven't passed through Bianfeng Village!"
"Of course, of course you have to go there to buy some specialties!" The thin merchant smiled on his face, "Tell you what's happening there? Just treat it as a little reward to you, hehe!"
"Are there any signs of dispatching soldiers there?" Aire asked in a low voice;
"Well... Most of the soldiers in Binfeng City are in the barracks in the city. This is not something you can find out if you are going to do the specific mobilization;" the thin merchant said embarrassedly, "But, however, I heard from Binfeng Village some time ago that the lords there began to collect food on a large scale! This should be a sign of sending troops, right?"
"Maybe that's the case." Ailey nodded, but his expression on his face was not very satisfied - this news is not very useful, because the time of recruiting food and sending troops is not closely related to the time of sending troops; anyway, soldiers have to eat, as long as they cannot starve to death, it will be fine one month or even half a year in advance.
"Well, although I don't know much about this, I know something else, maybe you will be interested!" The thin businessman was very keen to observe, and he felt that he had to say something more useful: "About... the travel merchant who sells wine, I know a little about the situation!"
Alay regained his interest.
"That's it... do you know Port of Orion?" said the thin merchant and pointed to the west, "It's that... next to the ruins of Orion Bridge!"
Although there was no sign of rebuilding of the Orion Bridge in a short period of time, and the other wharfs were under extremely strict inspections, the enthusiasm of the merchants showed no sign of being eliminated. After confirming that the war had come to an end, the merchants immediately recruited several small boats and built a simple wharf near the Orion Bridge;
Compared with other piers, the scale here is much smaller - large ships are not accessible, so they can only let some people who want to take shortcuts; the nobles on both sides also quickly dispatched soldiers to strictly prevent detailed works on the opposite side;
"It's there, during this period, traveling merchants often come to sell wine." Speaking of this, the merchant's face was a little puzzled: "I can't understand why those people come to sell wine from afar?"
Selling wine? Even Ailey, who is not familiar with the business tips, knows that this is not a good deal.
Although the town of Orion is quite short of alcohol and other things now, the people here don’t have much money to buy - with that money, most people would rather buy some necessities of life - the sales will never be good;
Moreover, wine must be transported in a jar. How much strength can a traveler have and how much wine can he bring?
Even if they set out from the village closest to Ryintang in the north, it would take more than a day to reach Orion City; not to mention, the journey was not smooth - especially when crossing the Qiufeng River by boat, the jar would be broken and would leave the merchants with all their money;
What kind of motivation do they do this?
It seems that there is a big problem hidden here.
"So, do you know where those wine-selling merchants are?" Ailey continued, "this information is worthy of attention."
"I'm very sorry, I only remember some rough situations;" the businessman said with a little embarrassed smile, "If I remember correctly, it should be..."
