Long Zu sighed softly and looked at him with extremely complicated eyes: "It's creepy."
"Each other."
Zuo Chongming raised his glass and smiled, his expression somewhat meaningful.
Longzu felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words, but the old man was also a thousand-layer cake himself.
Zuo Chongming lent him the Wentian Jade Scroll, but the old man couldn't move. He obviously knew how serious the price of divination was.
But the old guy didn't mention a word. Instead, he changed the subject by talking about remuneration, trying to frame Zuo Chongming with benefits.
Neither of them is a fuel-efficient person. Under the seemingly harmonious atmosphere, there are countless knives hidden in the quarrel.
"hehe."
Longzu smiled casually and said with a normal expression: "That's it for now, let's open the skylight and speak frankly."
Zuo Chongming nodded and said, "I'm all ears."
Long Ancestor muttered: "If those two sword peaks are really in Beihai Tianyuan, I will definitely find them and carry them back to you, and vice versa..."
Zuo Chongming raised his hand to interrupt and said loudly: "As soon as Jianfeng arrives, I will start the deduction and inform you of the results."
"A gentleman's words."
"Hurry up and whip your horse."
"...I had a great time chatting with Mr. Marquis today. I'll take my leave first. I'll see you someday."
"I won't send it."
Zuo Chongming watched Long Zu leave, slightly squinting his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
To be honest, Qingwen... no, Long Zu's arrival really surprised him.
However, now that the words have come to this, the original plan needs to be adjusted.
"Beihai Tianyuan is not a good place."
Zuo Chongming thought thoughtfully: "Even with the strength of Dragon Ancestor, if you want to handle this matter quietly, you must plan carefully."
"That is to say, Ancestor Long will definitely focus on this matter during this period and will not have time to be distracted by the internal fighting among dragon clans all over the world."
At this moment, a slight moan interrupted his thoughts, and Qingwen's voice sounded: "What happened to me just now?"
Zuo Chongming took a sip of tea and said calmly: "You have been sealed and your body has been possessed. By the way, which senior of your dragon clan was it just now?"
Qingwen's expression changed slightly, and he smiled softly: "Well, this... I'm not sure about that either."
Judging from Zuo Chongming's words, Longzu must have not disclosed his identity, and Qingwen would naturally not reveal his identity.
"Yeah?"
Zuo Zhongming smiled but said with unclear meaning: "You, the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea, are really unfathomable."
Qingwen's smile remained as charming as ever: "Haha, Mr. Hou is so complimentary."

Xiyun Mansion, in a small courtyard somewhere.
A middle-aged man hurriedly closed the door and hurried into the house.
The people in the house saw him and quickly asked: "How is the situation?"
"not so good."
The man drank two cups of tea and cursed: "Son of a bitch, we were a step too late to start, and we were overtaken by others."
The other party was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded: "What? Who?"
"The Lotus Sect."
The man smiled bitterly: "They already started poaching people when we were at the exhibition, and those who can be poached have already been classified as Liansheng Sect."
The other party's scalp was numb and he was shocked: "What? How could this happen?"
The man sighed: "I thought it was strange before that Xiyun Mansion and Congyun Mansion are neighbors, and they have old enemies and old grudges..."
"It stands to reason that if Xiyun Mansion has brought out so many powerful weapons, isn't the Liansheng Sect in Congyun Mansion afraid? Aren't they worried?"
"So, no matter what the reason, Ji Changyun should have sent people to participate in the exhibition, but they have never made any move."
"Now it seems that Ji Changyun's target has never been at the exhibition, but at the craftsmen who make weapons."
The other party frowned and said distressedly: "Then, what should we do now?"
"There's no rush at the moment."
The man thought for a moment and said, "I think we have to divide our forces into two groups and attack on both sides."
"On the one hand, if I continue to contact Xiyun Mansion's arsenal, I don't believe that everyone is so determined."
"On the other hand, send someone to Cong Yun Mansion to have a look and find out the situation. If we can't deal with Zuo Chongming, we can't deal with the Liansheng Sect?"
Having said this, the man smiled instead: "And as far as I know, it's not just us who want to poach people, there are also many forces."
The other party suddenly realized: "I understand, let's reveal this news and let those people try the Liansheng Sect first."
The man smiled slightly: "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind."
…
To be fair, their plan is a good one.
But the problem is that they ignored one person, that is, they were both members of the Wives Guild and had already joined the Liansheng Sect.
As the saying goes, people all have selfish motives.
Although the focus of the Wives Guild is on Xiyun Mansion, even the eldest sister's first fragrant tea is there, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have other plans.
As the saying goes, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
So she had already sent Umbrella to secretly join the Liansheng Sect, and used her own abilities to help, so that Umbrella could improve her status.
First Xiangming's idea is very simple. Since the interests of Xiyun Mansion must be shared, then she will... monopolize the interests of Congyun Mansion.
Some time ago, the senior leaders of the Liansheng Sect ordered Umbrella to come to Xiyun Mansion to pry a corner.
First Xiangming thought it was a good opportunity, so he secretly helped Umbrella complete this task. Well, it was still overfulfilled.
After all, players are different from NPCs. As long as players are willing to work hard, their skill levels will inevitably improve...
Therefore, First Xiangming selected some NPCs who were not determined and a group of life players trained within the guild.
at this time.
First Xiangming opened the group chat and suddenly saw Umbrella's private chat: "Sister, something happened."
"What?"
She frowned and asked curiously: "You have overfulfilled the task and should be used more seriously. You should be more stable in the future."
Umbrella smiled bitterly and sent a message: "Our guess about Ji Changyun... was wrong."
First Xiangming looked even more confused: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"
Umbrella sighed: "We all thought that Ji Changyun's move to gain leverage was to strengthen the Liansheng Sect, but we were wrong."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Tell me carefully."
"The Lotus Sect, the Lotus Sect... plans to hold an auction in the near future."
"What?"
Umbrella sighed helplessly: "You guessed it right, those auction items are not objects, but people. They are people poached from Xiyun Mansion."
"The strange thing is that he is planning to sell off the talents for manufacturing medium and large equipment, but instead retains relatively low-end talents in firearms."
"Clam?"
First Xiangming's head buzzed, and he went blank for a moment.
Her original plan was to use the Liansheng Sect's poaching move to recruit more guild players.
Once they have won the trust of the Liansheng Sect, they will look for opportunities to slowly encroach on it, and eventually the dove that occupies the magpie's nest will occupy the Liansheng Sect.
As we all know, the Liansheng Sect controls Congyun Mansion and has business with the barbarians. If they control the Liansheng Sect...
But No. 1 Xiangming never expected that such a change would suddenly occur when the plan was about to come to an end.
This, this is crazy...
Thanks to that piece of shit Ji Changyun, he has no intention of developing the Liansheng Sect at all, but wants to take advantage of this opportunity to sell the talent he poached at a high price.
This operation was so arrogant that even First Fragrant Ming didn't expect it, and his whole body was sucked into it.
It took quite a while.
The first Xiangming put down the document and sighed: "As expected of a guy who can compete with Zuo Chongming, this Ji Changyun is really powerful."
Umbrella didn't understand what he meant: "This can't be called amazing, right? The main reason is that we didn't expect it."
"No, our vision is too narrow."
First Xiangming thought about it and said: "Actually, if we have a higher vision and look further, we should be able to discover it in advance."
Umbrella rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "This operation is too sexy. It's a waste to find out in advance."
"Think about it carefully."
First Fragrant Tea said: "Although Ji Changyun is very strong, his overall power is incomparable to Zuo Chongming's. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw."
"Therefore, all the heroes in the world dare not provoke Zuo Chongming, but they have no regard for the Liansheng Sect and Congyun Mansion."
"In other words, even if the Liansheng Sect steals talents, they will not be able to retain them at all. If they cannot keep the talents, they will become the target of public criticism."
"In this case, Ji Changyun's wisest choice is... to throw out talents as bait, attracting competition among the heroes, and make a profit."
Umbrella took a breath: "Hiss... this, this is too..."
Qiqi suddenly interrupted: "Sister, Umbrella just said that Ji Changyun didn't sell everyone, but not the one who made the guns."
First Xiangming smiled casually and explained calmly: "Actually, you and I know very well that it is not difficult to imitate firearms."
"I guess Ji Changyun probably wants to piracy and sell it to small forces everywhere. After all, they can't afford high-end equipment."
Umbrella couldn't help but complain: "...Good guy, Zuo Chongming buys the genuine version, while Ji Changyun plays pirated versions, this is ridiculous..."
First Fragrant Tea echoed: "As long as Ji Changyun's heart is dark enough, the manufacturing cost is lowered, and the price is lower than the original, then he won't have to worry about not being able to sell it."
The world is too big. Even if Xiyun Mansion reaches full production capacity, it is impossible to occupy all the markets...
The demand for weapons such as firearms can never be filled, so Ji Changyun's pirated goods will never have to worry about selling.
Umbrella asked: "Well, eldest sister, what should I do now?"
First Xiangming thought for a while and answered confidently: "Isn't Ji Changyun going to hold an auction? He has to send invitations, right?"
"If you take the initiative to take over this job, I will send people here to help. Make sure this auction is successful and lively."
Umbrella didn't ask why, and responded directly: "Okay, I understand."
First Xiangming continued to ask: "Didn't you say some time ago that there seems to be a group of dragons who have penetrated into southern Xinjiang through the Liansheng Sect?"
Umbrella didn't understand what he meant: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
First Fragrant Ming: "If nothing goes as expected, a big plot should happen next, so I asked you to make a contribution as soon as possible."
Umbrella: "So that's it, but why don't I feel it?"
No. 1 Xiangming: "The plot is hidden, so we have to work harder and not miss this opportunity."
