Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas
Chapter 1065 - 891: A Share of the Profits_2
San recounted the actions of those trapped within the barrier to two blind men beside him.
Upon learning that Li Hongjiu was still stationary, and that those attacking had just checked nearby, Wu Jinliang immediately transformed into Yu Yifu, retrieved the golden Command Arrow, and had Huang Yingying put on a cloak before breaking through the formation once again.
Once inside, he quickly instructed Huang Yingying to stay while he went alone to where Li Hongjiu was.
This time, the person meditating cross-legged with Li Hongjiu was not Luo Yuanfeng, but another person. Seeing 'Yu Yifu' emerging from beneath the sand, neither of them paid much attention.
It wasn't until 'Yu Yifu' lifted his hand and beckoned Li Hongjiu to come over.
An oddly familiar scene jolted Li Hongjiu, making him realize it might be Giant Wu, that bastard, who had come, and he immediately got up to follow.
Once they reached Huang Yingying, who was waiting nearby, 'Yu Yifu' grinned cheekily and said, "Brother Jiu, my apologies."
It really was this rascal, Li Hongjiu immediately cursed, "What the hell, you trapped me in here for half a year..."
Wu Jinliang didn't argue further; there was no time for that now. If those on patrol returned, they could be exposed at any moment. Satisfied, he glanced at Li Hongjiu's cloak and casually replied, "I'll get you out in a few days." Then he turned to Huang Yingying and said, "Give him the items."
Huang Yingying immediately lifted her cloak, revealing that she was laden with Qiankun Bags, eager to hand them over.
Indeed, all of the Sandalwood Gold dug up in the past half year was stored with Huang Yingying.
Initially, Wu Jinliang was keen to keep every piece of Sandalwood Gold on himself, not allowing anyone else to help. The greatest pleasure was counting money when free. But with more being found, watching it daily became no different from staring at the sand on the ground.
Moreover, the number of bags holding the Sandalwood Gold increased. Eventually, he grew impatient with the increasing number of bags hung on his body.
Unfortunately, Shi Chun's Qiankun Bracelet couldn't be brought inside. Otherwise, it would easily have stored all these valuables.
No one expected that they couldn't open the Two Realms Channel inside Yanfu Continent.
Before entering, not only the Qiankun Bracelet but also the Netherworld currency from the Six Realms Exchange and other items that couldn't be detected during checks were left outside.
The initial plan was to dig enough money and then use the Two Realms Channel to bring in the Qiankun Bracelet. Who knew that the channel couldn't be opened once inside, so they had to use a bunch of Qiankun Bags.
His first thought was to hang all the burdens on San, but San scoffed at these vulgar items. He wouldn't let anyone ride on him, much less become a horse for such vulgar things; he firmly refused.
So Wu Jinliang had to hang all the money bags on Huang Yingying, because she was always by his side and had the power to protect the money.
Huang Yingying certainly knew the benefits of money; the feeling of being short on money in Dazhi City was unforgettable to this day. Initially, having endless money made her very happy. Frequently pouring piles of money out in front of her to admire it, washing her face with money, lying on it for naps, and bathing in money heaps were things she indulged in.
But eventually, after a long time, she also felt it was meaningless. With dozens of bags hanging on her, how could there be no sense of burden?
Seeing so many Qiankun Bags stacked up, Li Hongjiu couldn't help but wonder, "What does this mean?"
Wu Jinliang said, "It's money, what else could it mean? Hide it on your person, and in a few days I'll open the grand formation to let you out. Then find a chance to go to the exit and hand it to Shi Chun. Now, you need to understand the situation at the exit..."
He quickly conveyed the circumstances he had scouted.
Li Hongjiu listened, stunned, as he observed the pile of Qiankun Bags Huang Yingying had removed. Despite each bag being only palm-sized, the accumulated thickness was considerable, and imagining seventy-some bags hanging on him puzzled him: "This much, how could I possibly fit them all on me..."
Wu Jinliang tugged at the cloak he wore to indicate, bringing his voice to a halt, he understood the other's meaning; the cloak would conceal it all.
It dawned on him that the cloak sent half a year earlier was intended for this purpose, allowing the Nanshan group to become accustomed to seeing him cloaked, aiding in smuggling out items.
Realizing this, he couldn't help but curse, "Wu Hehe, you scoundrel, you've been planning for this all along. For two scoundrels, I'm part of Nanshan, and not only do you have me back-channel for you, but also smuggle goods. Are you crazy?"
But curses were in vain as Wu Jinliang had already begun undressing him, removing the cloak, loosening his clothes, and muttering, "Hurry up, or it'll be too late."
Under Wu Jinliang's direction, Huang Yingying quickly attached several Qiankun Bags to Li Hongjiu.
Though he cursed, Li Hongjiu couldn't refuse, especially after inspecting the contents of the Qiankun Bags with magic, realizing the full scale of Sandalwood Gold within. Discovering each Qiankun Bag was full left him more shocked than ever.
He had never dreamt of having so much money hanging on himself.
Ultimately, all the shock manifested in words slipping from his throat and eyes, "How much money is in here?"
Wu Jinliang chuckled evasively, "Brother Jiu, don't worry, you won't work or risk your life on nothing. Don't you know Chun Tian? There's surely your share here. If you can get it out, you'll be wealthy for life."
Share? The share of this much money, how much could it be? Li Hongjiu felt faint, but then he tried to regain rationality, saying, "You're crazy. You want to sneak out so much money without going through inspection?"
It was obvious; if they could pass inspection, they wouldn't need to smuggle. Clearly, they intended to pocket it privately.
Wu Jinliang chuckled, "It depends on Chun Tian's ability. You just need to get the items to Chun Tian; the rest, Chun Tian will handle."
San, nearby, glanced at Li Hongjiu with disdain in its eyes; it knew the master was hiding skills, and easily accomplishing things wasn't beyond the master's reach.
Li Hongjiu swallowed hard, a bit nervous, "Wu Hehe, Giant Wu, you're really crazy if you put all this on me, every egg in one basket. If Yu Yifu discovers it, do you fear losing everything, water basket empty, creating a wedding dress for others?"
Wu Jinliang calmly said, "Nothing to be afraid of. If they can't discover it, then they can leave. If discovered and they dare to keep my money, I decide when they escape. My money won't be lost. Brother Jiu, boldly work carefully; if anything happens, I'll cover it."
"Crazy, crazy, really crazy, damn it, how much money is this…" Li Hongjiu started rambling like a woman, counting money until dizzy, the strong unreality made him pinch his own side, and he couldn't help thinking how much he could get.
