A depressing atmosphere filled the sky above Shangzhou City.
A carriage slowly drove into Shangzhou City.
And that carriage will be like a drop of water falling into the rough sea, without causing any waves.
Shangzhou City has all kinds of people coming and going every day.
An ordinary carriage did not attract much attention.
But the young man on the carriage was full of thoughts, as if a huge wave was stirring in his chest.
The gentle figure in green clothes appeared in his mind, with a pair of wise eyes like black grapes embedded in that beautiful face.
The gentle figure like the sister next door became more and more clear in Ding Xiaoyi's mind.
That was the oath I made when I was young,
But today, when I returned to Shangzhou again, I felt like I was in a hometown.
Ding Xiaoyi drove a carriage to an inn,
He brought Princess Dayong and the maid into the inn, and asked for a room by himself.
"Sister Shang, I'm back, are you okay?"
Ding Xiaoyi stood in front of the inn window, murmuring involuntarily.
And his eyes looked straight ahead through the window.
Shangzhou City is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance.
Towering buildings can be seen everywhere in the streets of Shangzhou City.
Everyone knows that there are four major families in Shangzhou City.
They are Jiang, Ji, Fu and Shang respectively, and the Bai family has become the fifth largest family.
Not only because the Bai family boarded the big ship of Sihai Trading Company, but also because the Bai family produced an amazing genius.
And that genius was Bai Shaoheng, the eldest son of the Bai family.
Bai Shaoheng joined the Royal Capital Sword Pavilion and became a disciple of the First Sword Sect of Dayong.
Moreover, Bai Shaoheng had already broken through to the super-grade destiny realm just after passing the age of weak crown, and his cultivation talent was clearly a monster.
The Bai family's shares in Sihai Commercial Bank are also increasing, and they seem to be occupying the entire Sihai Commercial Bank.
Ding Xiaoyi naturally knows this,
He also knew that the business owner, Shang Tianqi, seemed to be terminally ill, and he didn't know how long he would live.
However, businesses are becoming increasingly weak.
Even the merchant's only male, Shang Hongxing, seemed to have been framed and wanted to marry into his wife's family.
All this seems to be very unfavorable to merchants, who will also be squeezed out of the ranking of the four major families.
The one who replaced them was the Bai family, because the Bai family already had the strength to compete with the merchants.
Coupled with the marriage between the merchant and the Bai family,
The merchants will be completely swallowed up by the Bai family, and everything seems to be unstoppable.
The eldest daughter of a businessman is a business genius of a generation, and the Sihai Trading Company has grown day by day under her management.
But all of this was used as a wedding dress for the Bai family, because Shang Rongrong, the eldest daughter of the merchant family, was about to marry into the Bai family.
Ding Xiaoyi looked out the window and was in a daze.
Everything has changed.
When he was practicing in Shangzhou, the business was booming.
Under the management of Shang Rongrong, Sihai Trading Company is also running like a fish in water.
Just a few short years later, the merchants had fallen into the ranks of the four major families in Shangzhou and were about to be squeezed out.
But it seems that Sihai Trading Company is about to become the possession of the Bai family.
Shang Rongrong, a business prodigy of the generation, will eventually marry Bai Shaotang.
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes shot out a cold light.
Since there is no one to help the merchant, let him shoulder this burden.
In his heart, Shang Rongrong was not just an impulse when he first fell in love, but a beautiful memory in his heart.
Although he knew that Shang Rongrong at that time thought his words were just a joke.
But Ding Xiaoyi knew that this agreement had always been in the deepest part of his heart.
I don’t know if she still remembers that agreement.
A soft color appeared on Ding Xiaoyi's frosty face, as if the ice was melting and the snow was full of spring.
Qingqing Zijin, there is a girl like Rong,
under the sunset,
The girl's smile that was like a clear spring left an indelible mark on the young man's heart.
And it was that smile that was like a clear spring that made the young man's heart inexplicably feel a little fluttering.
"Sister Shang, when I grow up, why don't you marry me?"
There were small dimples on the young man's cheeks, and his smile was extremely clear and bright.
But the girl in green clothes was slightly startled.
Then the girl held up her clear and bright smile and said, "Ding Xiaoyi, please grow up quickly."
Subsequently,
The girl turned and left.
"Remember, when I grow up, you must marry me."
The smile on the young man's face became even stronger. He waved his hand and said loudly to the back of the green-robed figure.
But the back figure of the man in green clothes was like a brand that was forever engraved in Ding Xiaoyi's heart.
That was the softest place in his heart, and only the figure in green clothes could accommodate that place.
Everything has changed,
I wonder how Shang Rongrong is doing. Is she tired?
She supported the entire Sihai Trading Company by herself.
And although she is a girl, she is not weaker than any man in this world.
Ding Xiaoyi's thoughts flew to a few years ago,
At that time, my cultivation level was still very weak, so weak that I could bully even a low-level martial artist at will.
When he came to Shangzhou for training, he experienced all kinds of fights.
And he thought his heart had been overwhelmed by the endless fighting.
He thought his heart was as solid as ice.
But that touch of green shadow stirred up the last softness in his heart like spring water.
At that time, I didn't know that I actually had no heart. At that time, I only knew endless killing.
But that touch of blue seemed to be the last softness in his heart.
So what if he didn't have a heart? He only knew that the green shadow gave him the last warmth when he was on the verge of collapse.
Ding Xiaoyi took a long breath.
He still remembered the vow he made, but he didn't know if the girl in green still remembered it. Shang Rongrong was five or six years older than Ding Xiaoyi.
At that time, Shang Rongrong had already supported Sihai Trading Company.
At that time, the Bai family was just a declining family attached to Sihai Trading Company.
Shangzhou, here I come,
Sister Shang, I’m here.
After Ding Xiaoyi calmed down his nervous mood,
He called out to himself and to Shang Rongrong like a low voice.
After a hasty dinner,
Ding Xiaoyi arranged a simple sword array in Princess Dayong's room, and he told the master and servant to rest early.
Then he rushed out of the inn and took advantage of the vast darkness to shoot towards the merchant.
merchant,
Although it was brightly lit, it was a little less lively.
Businessmen are also shrouded in sadness.
Shang Tianqi, the merchant's hometown son, suffered from a chronic illness and was already terminally ill.
Because he did not get the relics from the Buddha Temple, the old business owner could only wait for death quietly.
However, the business population is not prosperous.
If Shang Rongrong hadn't supported the Four Seas Trading Company alone, the merchants would have been driven out of the ranks of the four major families.
Ding Xiaoyi's figure landed steadily in the merchant's courtyard.
Although the courtyard layout is still familiar, the atmosphere in this courtyard is extremely strange.
The atmosphere of laughter and laughter at the beginning has long since disappeared, but now the atmosphere is filled with sadness.
He looked around,
There are also some well-educated guards in the merchant's courtyard who are faithfully adhering to their posts.
But for a master like Ding Xiaoyi, such a sentry post is just a fake.
"Oh, the weather is starting to get cold. Why does it get cold so early this year?"
dark place,
The two guards couldn't help rubbing their hands, breathing heavily, and then complained.
"Alas, the world is unpredictable. I thought our business was at its peak, but now we are being hunted down by other families."
Another guard also said melancholy, and the two guards were chatting while patrolling.
Ding Xiaoyi turned into a wisp of breeze and passed over the heads of the two men.
He is very fast,
The two guards didn't react, they only felt a gust of cold wind blowing over their heads.
Passing by the head of a patrolling guard,
He turned into a wisp of breeze and shuttled through the merchant's courtyard, and he headed towards the depths of the courtyard.
The merchant's hometown owner, Shang Tianqi, is deep in the merchant's courtyard.
It was a simple house,
Ding Xiaoyi's figure turned into a black shadow and flew over the towering tree next to the house.
He blocked all his breath and pressed his whole body against the branch.
His eyes fell on the simple house,
The old business owner still leads a simple life as always.
A figure came round,
When Ding Xiaoyi saw that figure, his eyes froze slightly.
He saw the familiar figure from behind, and his heart began to panic.
