Wu Chong meditated in the villa. For others, a month was just a moment of effort, but for Wu Chong, his own strength had improved a lot.
In a month, Wu Chong didn't use much experience points, but his strongest sword control skills
Two more foundation-building materials posted in the villa were recovered, and now only the last Ningshen Incense is left. Ma Runan sent someone over to report two days ago, saying that there was news about the Ningshen Incense. He also
Someone has been sent there.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Chong will be able to enter the next level after another month.
Build the foundation!
After the Immortal Cultivator builds the foundation, it will be completely different from the Qi Training Realm. He will be able to control more and more spells, and the most important thing is that he will be able to fly with a sword.
"Master, in seven days the life-threatening sword - Yan Shijiu's challenge will come."
Sword Slave Seventeen walked in and, in accordance with Wu Chong's request, began to report to him the recent events in the village and the things that he might need to deal with personally in the future.
A deadly sword?
Wu Chong has completely forgotten this person.
The challenge of the deadly sword was a counterattack method they came up with when he dealt with Shopkeeper Bao and the others last month. The purpose was to embarrass him, the new owner of the village. A sword that could be favored by those three old foxes
', naturally he has some real ability.
"Then let's go. It will make a good show. As a senior in the martial arts world, I can help support the juniors."
Wu Chong didn't care.
People who have to listen to the arrangements of Shopkeeper Bao and others will have their limits even if they are strong.
"There is one more thing that you need to decide for yourself."
Seventeen talked about the second thing.
"The sword-making materials in the village are missing a lot, especially the fine iron. The swords to be handed over to the state capital next month may be missing."
While Mingjian Villa was recognized by the Daqi imperial court, it naturally also had its own obligations.
Sword-making is the most important task of Mingjian Villa. Every quarter they need to submit a large number of swords to the state capital. Most of these swords are used by officials at the general level. Wu Chong used to be the capital of Heiyi Building.
During the reign, the swords used were supplied by Mingjian Villa.
"How much is missing."
"Eighteen hundred pieces."
"so much?"
Wu Chong knew that Shopkeeper Bao and the others were reselling fine iron, and the news about the 'Shadow of Human Skin' had been sent back to him. But he didn't ask about the specific amount. Now when the delivery date came, he discovered that these things that had been stolen by greed had actually become
Big trouble.
If Shopkeeper Bao and others were still there, they would naturally have other channels to import some second-level swords to replenish their inventory.
After the swords were handed over to the state capital, most of them were put in the warehouse to eat dust. Only one or two hundred swords really needed to be crafted with care, and the rest had to go into the warehouse. These swords do not necessarily have to be made of fine iron.
.This is the gap where Shopkeeper Bao and others are greedy for ink.
"Where's the fine iron?"
Thirty carts of fine iron, plus the previous batch, there are sixty carts in total. With such a large quantity, it should be easy to find even if it is lost.
"In a place called Crock Village, sword slaves have already passed by the villa, but there has been no response so far."
"Crock Village?"
There are cottages everywhere in this world. Even a big sect like Mingjian Villa can only be responsible for the main city of Wanjian City and some surrounding areas. No one is willing to take care of those places further away in the valleys.
This is where most refugees and bandits gather.
"It's a gathering place for a group of gangsters. I don't know why I went crazy this time, but I dared to touch the car of our Mingjian Villa."
"Let Jiang Xiucai handle it."
There are currently only two people under Wu Chong, one is Ma Runan, and the other is a level 110 human skin, who currently appears to the outside world as Jiang Xiucai who was killed by him.
"Director Jiang may not be able to go. When the big shopkeeper was still there, he made a deal with the wolf clan outside, exchanging thirty carts of fine iron for three hundred thousand taels of silver. Now the other party's people have come over, and Director Jiang has already gone
Let’s deal with this matter.”
The greed of shopkeeper Bao and others is not personal.
But a line.
Upstream, they resell the materials from Mingjian Villa in exchange for money, take part of it themselves, and then hand over part to some people in the state capital. Downstream are the so-called wolf tribe, who are also big buyers of fine iron, shopkeeper Bao and others
Don't ask what the other person is doing or what their plans are.
They only make money.
The wolves did not ask where their materials came from, they only bought things. This tacit understanding between the two parties had lasted for decades. The arrival of Wu Chong directly broke the chain. Now that the goods are out of stock, people downstream
I found it, but there is no feedback from the upstream side yet. It is probably just a matter of time.
Fortunately, Wu Chong didn't care. He only became the owner of this village because it could bring him convenience, and he didn't really want to sacrifice his life for them.
"Then let the city guards go."
The city guards had been trying to get in touch with him before, so this time they just gave him a chance to show off.
A big sect has too many things to deal with every day, and Crock Village is just an inconspicuous incident among countless incidents. It makes no sense that Wu Chong, the owner of the village, would just run there without doing anything, otherwise he would have so many subordinates.
What to do.
"yes."
Shi Qi left and went to find the so-called guard.
Just then, there was a noise in the front hall.
"Where is your village owner? Is this how you receive distinguished guests? He must give our wolf clan an explanation for this matter!"
A foreign man wearing wolf-skin cotton-padded clothes and carrying a scimitar at his waist rushed into the Mingjian Villa.
Zamaha felt very angry. He had already received money for the last transaction with Mingjian Villa for a long time, but Mingjian Villa has never given an explanation. Some time ago, the scholar named Jiang came to the door, but not only did he not give any
He even found some new excuse to persuade his elder brother.
For Zamaha, this is simply a shame for the wolf clan!
They were born as wolves, and the thing they are not afraid of most is challenges. When did they learn to look forward and backward like those dirty Daqi hypocrites.
It was precisely because of this that Zamaha felt that his opportunity had come. He encouraged those in the clan who were as dissatisfied with his elder brother to change their names, bypass Jiang Xiucai, who was negotiating with his elder brother, and personally lead people to Mingjian.
The villa is here.
As long as he can get this batch of fine iron back.
He can make meritorious deeds!
There is a chance to snatch his eldest brother's position.
"You can't go in."
The guards of Mingjian Villa followed with anxious faces, trying to pull this man back.
"Get out! Even the shopkeepers don't dare to talk to me like that."
Zamaha kicked away the guard who followed him, and savagely kicked open the door to the inner courtyard.
Breaking into the inner courtyard, he happened to see Wu Chong sitting in meditation in the courtyard.
Because of his clothing, Wu Chong was wearing a black robe, which hid his burly body. At first glance, it did not seem so oppressive.
"Are you the bullshit new owner?"
Zamaha looked Wu Chong up and down, stepped forward and slapped the table.
