Chapter 4251

Hearing Liu Dashao's teasing remarks, Lei Jun immediately pretended to be shocked and widened his eyes.

"What? You want to change the food and drinks right now?"

Brother Liu, really? The consequences of forgetting to bring a gift are really this serious?

Seeing the feigned shock on Lei Jun's face, Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath with his lips slightly parted, and then nodded heavily to Lei Jun in a serious manner.

"Yes, that's right, the situation is that serious."

Brother Lei, whether you'll be feasting on fine wine and delicacies or eating coarse grains and pickled vegetables in the palace three days from now depends entirely on your memory.

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking in a serious tone, Lei Jun first raised his hand and gently patted his forehead twice, then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Young Master Liu.

"Brother Liu, there's no other way, it has to be good, it has to be good."

After all, as Brother Liu just said, if my memory is not good, then I will have to eat a feast of coarse grain buns and pickled vegetable shreds.

Faced with such a serious outcome, it would be a real shame if my memory wasn't good!

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi immediately smiled and nodded slightly.

"Hehehe, it's enough that you understand the seriousness of the problem."

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's cheerful reply, Lei Jun immediately nodded without hesitation.

"Brother Liu, you must know, you absolutely must know!"

Liu Mingzhi stuck out his tongue and gently licked his slightly dry lips twice. With his smile unchanged, he turned around and looked at the little cutie following behind him.

"Moon".

At this moment, the little cutie was quietly following in the footsteps of Young Master Liu and Lei Jun, her slender, jade-like neck turning gently as she quietly observed the numerous shops of all sizes on both sides of the street.

Hearing her father's gentle call, she immediately turned her gaze away from a shop and looked at Young Master Liu walking in front of her with a smile.

"Oh, Yue'er is here, Father, what's wrong?"

Liu Mingzhi deliberately slowed his pace, smiled faintly at his adorable daughter who was looking at him with beaming eyes, and said softly, "My dear daughter, we've walked almost half a street since we entered the city. Have you decided what to choose as a gift for our first meeting?"

When the little cutie heard her father ask her this question in a gentle voice, she hesitated slightly and shook her head twice at Young Master Liu.

"Father, Yue'er hasn't decided yet!"
Yue'er had just looked around at the shops on both sides of the street. The shops were either selling daily necessities such as grains, seasonings, and cloth, or they were restaurants, teahouses, inns, and so on.

In short, as things stand, there isn't a single shop that's suitable for buying the gift Uncle Lei gave me as a token of our meeting.

The key problem is that I, Yue'er, don't know what to choose as a gift for our first meeting.

After all, I don't lack anything on a daily basis.

"Father, how about this, why don't you help me choose something?"

Liu Mingzhi turned his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment before looking at his little darling with a smile and saying gently, "My dear daughter, to be honest, I don't know what kind of thing I should choose for you in this matter."

As a daughter, the only things I can think of for you as a father are cosmetics, jewelry, and the like.

The cosmetics from the Abbasid Caliphate are probably not as good as those from our Great Dragon Kingdom. Even if they were, I doubt my dear daughter would be used to them.

So, let's skip things like rouge and face powder!

In that case, the only things you can choose from are jewelry and similar items.

My dear daughter, I suggest that we find a decent jewelry store now, and you can choose a nice piece of jewelry as a gift for our first meeting.

My dear daughter, what do you think?

Upon hearing her father's advice, the little cutie pondered for a moment with her bright eyes, then smiled and nodded gently to Young Master Liu a few times.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll listen to my father. I'll choose a piece of jewelry as a gift from Uncle Lei to me."

Father, well, as far as I know, Uncle Krich's family runs a jewelry shop, and my sister Ike is currently managing the business.

Moreover, the shop is located not far from where we are now. We only need to walk half a block, then turn left and walk about half a kilometer to get there.

Therefore, in my opinion, there's no need for us to continue wandering aimlessly along the long street looking for jewelry stores. Let's just head straight to Uncle Krich's jewelry shop.

This brings three benefits in total.

First of all, we don't have to wander around anymore, which saves both time and distance.

Secondly, when my sister Yike sees us buying jewelry, she will definitely bring out the best quality pieces for me to choose from.

The better the quality of jewelry, the more expensive it is. In this way, I, Yue'er, hardly have to put in any effort to choose, and I can easily enjoy Uncle Lei's wealth.

Finally, since it was Yue'er who bought the jewelry, Yi Ke's sister will definitely give a discount when she takes the money.

When Yi Ke's sister received the money, she offered a discount, which naturally saved Uncle Lei some money.

This way, it can directly show that I, Yue'er, am kind-hearted and lenient towards Uncle Lei.

Father, this is a win-win-win situation. What do you think?

As soon as the little cutie finished speaking in her sweet, soft voice, Young Master Liu immediately burst into a hearty laugh with a broad smile.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"A triple win, a triple win, what a triple win!"

My dear daughter, since you have considered things so thoroughly, then of course I have no objections.

"Just like you said, let's head straight to Creepy's shop."

Hearing her father's affirmative answer, the little girl nodded with a grin and said sweetly, "Yes, Daddy, let's go then."

"Okay, let's go." Liu Mingzhi answered the little cutie's words loudly, then turned around with a faint smile and turned his gaze to Lei Jun.

"Brother Lei, the shop that my daughter Luoyue just mentioned needs to be turned at the next intersection. Where will your caravan stop and rest later?"
In order not to delay the rest and accommodation of your hundreds of men, you can go over now and make arrangements for them.

Once Yue'er has chosen the gift she wants, then you can go and meet them.

Lei Jun first turned his head to look at the little cutie following behind him and Young Master Liu, then, with a curious expression and slightly surprised look in his eyes, he gently cupped his hands towards Young Master Liu.

"Brother Liu, is the Krich you and my niece Luoyue were just talking about the wealthy merchant Krich who comes from the Kingdom of Rome and now lives on Elephant Street in the west of the city, with two sons and a daughter?"

When Liu Mingzhi saw that Lei Jun had accurately described Krich's background, current residence, and family situation, he immediately raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

“Brother Lei, if there is no other person named Krich in the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate who fits the description you just gave, then the Krich that my daughter and I were talking about must be the Krich you mentioned.”

"What? Brother Lei, you know this guy Krich too?"

After hearing Young Master Liu's loud question, Lei Jun seemed to suddenly remember something, took a deep breath, and then chuckled happily.

"Hahaha, we know each other, of course we know each other."

Brother Liu, let me put it this way for you!

Most caravans from our Great Dragon Dynasty that have visited the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate know him.

Back then, my brothers and I had barely entered the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, and before we even found a place to eat and rest, we were immediately entangled by this guy, Krich.

Good heavens, Brother Liu, you have no idea what happened back then.

They'll arrange accommodations for you, provide you with all sorts of fine wines and delicacies, and even arrange for you to meet young and beautiful women..."

When Lei Jun mentioned the young and beautiful woman, his words suddenly paused, and then he coughed a few times in a low voice, looking sullen.

"Hmm, cough cough, cough cough cough."

Well, well, anyway, they were incredibly enthusiastic.

When he enthusiastically asks you to do business with him, you feel too embarrassed to refuse.

Later, six or seven out of ten of the goods I did in the royal city were traded with him.

At first, I thought that Krich was interested in the goods our caravan was carrying, which was why he kept bothering me and treated us so warmly.

It wasn't until I had dealt with him a few times that I suddenly realized that this guy, Krich, would light up whenever he saw a caravan from our Great Dragon Dynasty.

He looked as if a starving wolf, who hadn't eaten for days, had suddenly spotted fresh meat.

Then, he started sticking to you like a leech.

Brother Liu, it would be difficult for me not to know such a person!

Hearing Lei Jun's words filled with emotion, Liu Shao couldn't help but recall the scene of his first meeting with Krich, and then he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

It has to be said that Lei Jun's assessment of Krich was extremely accurate.

Seeing Liu Dashao's suppressed chuckle, Lei Jun gently pursed his slightly dry lips and continued to speak loudly with a smile on his face: "Recently, on my way back to my hometown, I have heard from other caravans more than once that this guy Krich has been extremely fortunate to have befriended a very important person of noble status."

Then, with the help of that important figure, he directly established a joint chamber of commerce.

At first, I didn't quite believe those rumors, subconsciously thinking they were just hearsay and rumors.

After all, establishing a joint chamber of commerce is no easy task.

This not only requires a massive amount of manpower and resources, but also a certain level of prestige and status to prevent such a lucrative opportunity from being coveted by those with ill intentions.

Because I have personally done business with that guy Krich, I know a little about him.

Based on my understanding of Krich, neither the manpower and resources he controls nor his status are sufficient to support him in establishing a joint chamber of commerce.

As for suddenly and extremely fortunate enough to befriend a person of high status, that's even more impossible.

Looking across the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, what other figure could be more distinguished than the Duke of Protectorate and the Duke of Yong'an, the two Grand Marshals of the Western Expedition?

When Lei Junlang finished speaking, he cheerfully raised both hands and bowed to Young Master Liu.

"Of course, the situation I just described was in the past, not now."

This moment, that moment.

If we're talking about the most distinguished person these days, it has to be Brother Liu.

It is precisely because of this consideration that I subconsciously felt that those rumors were nothing more than hearsay and hearsay.

However, as I heard the same rumors from more and more people, I couldn't help but start to waver.

After all, there are plenty of smart people in the world, and it's impossible for everyone to make a rumor sound so plausible!

So, I gradually began to believe the rumors about it.

As Lei Jun spoke, he suddenly straightened his expression.

"Brother Liu, may I ask a question?"

If I'm not mistaken, the very person of such high status that Crouch has been so fortunate as to associate with must be you, Brother Liu, right?

Hearing Lei Jun's serious question, Liu Mingzhi turned and glanced at him with amusement.

"Oh? Why is it 'elder brother'? And not someone else?"

Lei Jun looked at Liu Dashao's interested gaze, smiled faintly, opened his mouth, and silently took a deep breath.

"It's very simple, because Brother Liu, you happen to be in the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate right now."
