Cai Sui frowned slightly when he heard Bai Yan's gentle refusal.

Liang Jin and Wu Cheng also looked at the young Bai Yan. They had received news very early that someone was planning to come to Zhao to sell grain.

After inquiring from many parties and spending a lot of time, they finally got a somewhat accurate message in Yingchuan County.

That was the grain seller, the newly opened Xu's shop in Handan City.

This shop had been closed for the past few days and was only opened in the past two days. However, yesterday the nobles spread rumors that Xu's shop did not sell grain at all.

This made them very strange, so they were a little reluctant today and just came over to ask.

"We heard before that Zixiao came to sell grain?"

After Liang Jin got Wu Cheng's look, he asked.

When Bai Yan heard Liang Jin's words, he laughed again and shook his head repeatedly.

"Zixiao doesn't know where you got the news, but this is ridiculous. It is precisely because of the famine in Zhao that Qin just sent troops to attack Zhao. If Zixiao comes to Zhao to sell grain, wouldn't he be an enemy of Qin!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he sighed as if he was mocking himself: "Zixiao is just a commoner. He has no official position or power, and he has no connections. He dare not be an enemy of Qin!"

As Bai Yan's words fell.

Liang Jin and Cai Sui frowned. Just as they were sighing in frustration, Wu Cheng suddenly looked happy.

"It doesn't matter, then I won't disturb Mr. Xu today. I wonder if Mr. Xu has free time these two days? Wu Cheng is hosting a banquet in the Red Pavilion and is waiting for Mr. Xu to go and have a drink!"

Wu Cheng asked Bai Yan with his hands raised, his eyes a little excited.

This appearance made Liang Jin and Cai Sui full of doubts. Nowadays, there are many restaurants in Handan City, but the Red Pavilion is one of the few places with a good reputation.

Drinking and hosting a banquet can cost a lot!

If Wu Cheng wanted to have a private relationship, he would be too generous. Now that restaurant is not full of women, there is no need to go to the Red Pavilion.

"With such kindness, Zixiao should go to the appointment!"

Bai Yan looked at Wu Cheng, cupped his hands and smiled.

Seeing Wu Cheng getting up, Liang Jin and Cai Sui could only get up and say goodbye to Bai Yan.

Outside Xu's shop.

Bai Yan sent Liang Jin and the others out of the gate, said goodbye again, and watched the three people leaving.

"Finally the fish are here!"

Bai Yan said with a smile.

The news of selling grain was that he asked Lu Qi to deliberately reveal it to some "careful" nobles in Yingchuan.

His saying that he would not sell grain was also a little trick. Ordinary nobles would come to inquire and upon hearing his words, they would believe it and leave helplessly.

However, some nobles with important figures behind them came to inquire. Their positions were different, and a deeper meaning could be heard.

This is a simple filter.

Only after passing this screening can we have deeper contact later.

Otherwise, in Zhao State, which is extremely short of food, if we sell food directly, no matter how much food and grass is sold, it will not be enough.

It's like the big fish haven't even arrived yet, but the small fish have already eaten up all the food and grass.

the other side.

"I see!"

"Hiss~!"

On the carriage, Liang Jin and Cai Sui heard what Wu Cheng said, and then they understood and sighed.

"And I am certain that Xu Zixiao is from Qi!"

At this time, Wu Cheng continued to smile and said: "Although Xu Zixiao put away the bamboo slips just now, I was still standing together. I could recognize the neat characters "Qi" on it at a glance. The ink that was used just now is definitely not fake."

"Everyone! Okay, let's go back quickly and tell the others, so we can all contribute to buying food together!"

Liang Jin, Cai Sui nodded and said.

If Xu Zixiao is from Qi, they will naturally feel relieved, and since Qi people are rich, maybe Xu Zixiao can provide a lot of food.

Think of this.
