Zuo Chongming is so cunning, how could he fall into her trap?
He just smiled reservedly at this and explained matter-of-factly: "Even if you are my people, you have to be close and distant."
"You just surrendered to me. I don't even have the most basic trust in you. How can I tell you everything? What do you think?"
Nan Liuli couldn't help but narrowed her eyes: "How close do you think we are? How close do we need to be before you can say that?"
The words were too vague, and she couldn't help but think in other places.
"you guess?"
Zuo Chongming smiled meaningfully.
Nan Liuli sneered, expressing her disdain, and raised her head with a cold snort: "If you don't tell me, don't tell me. How are you going to arrange it for me?"
The scene of the death just now was so embarrassing that the impulse in her heart was suppressed.
If this hateful guy was teasing her on purpose, then she would really have no shame in living in this world.
Zuo Chongming thought for a while and said, "You will take over the position of president of the Business Alliance."
Nan Liuli's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief: "President of the Merchant Alliance? Are you crazy?"
She knew that Zuo Chongming would not let her do ordinary things, but she did not expect that the other party would give her a big cake so easily.
The Commercial Alliance and the Mercenary Union were both founded by Zuo Chongming.
The influence of Xiyun Mansion is so huge, these two are definitely indispensable.
Now, Zuo Chongming actually gave her the position of president of the merchant alliance. This, this...
While Nan Liuli smacked his lips at this man's courage, he couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in his heart.
"correct."
She came back to her senses, frowned and said, "The honorary president of the Merchant Alliance is Qi Shenghe now. Will he be willing to delegate power to me?"
"The honorary president and the president are two different things."
Zuo Chongming waved his hand and said: "The merchant alliance was first established, and we needed a seasoned old fox to control the situation, so we let him take charge of the overall situation."
"Now that we have a suitable president, it's time for him to return to his duties. To put it bluntly, it's a position where he has a name and receives some dividends."
"As for whether to delegate power or not, you don't need to worry. He is a smart man and will only cooperate fully for the future of his son and daughter."
Nan Liuli raised her eyebrows slightly, a little suspicious: "So sure?"
Zuo Chongming smiled and said nonchalantly: "What you don't understand is that the officials of Xiyun Mansion are not as irreplaceable as you think."
"They are like a screw or a gear. They can be replaced at any time. If they don't obey, they will be melted and recast."
The development model of Xiyun Mansion is based on Zuo Chongming's plan.
In other words, Zuo Chongming doesn't need any capable ministers or generals. What he needs is just obedient tools who can handle their jobs.
Of course, this model is only suitable for Xiyun Mansion because the area of Xiyun Mansion is limited.
If it is expanded to a county or a state, this model will definitely not work. After all, the bigger the stall is, the more difficult it is to manage.
"but."
Zuo Chongming said: "Even if Qi Shenghe doesn't cause you any trouble, you won't be able to have everything go smoothly. The people below will definitely not accept you."
"But given your identity and means as the chief building owner of Bafeng Tower, I have enough confidence in you that it is possible to deal with them."
Nan Liuli narrowed her eyes and curved her lips: "You trust me so much?"
"It's not trust."
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "If you don't have enough ability, I will replace you. Anyway, the opportunity is given to you. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you."
"..."
The corner of Nan Liuli's mouth twitched, and the throbbing that had just arisen in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Well, she is still being sentimental, Zuo Chongming is still the same Zuo Chongming.
Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed.
However, this sense of gap gradually calmed her mind and her rationality gained the upper hand.
Next, the two started a harmonious exchange on the clues to the mantra.
Probably Nan Liuli said it and Zuo Chongming listened.
Finally, perhaps out of curiosity, Nan Liuli couldn't help but ask: "You got the mantra, why don't you use it?"
"Why use it?"
Zuo Chongming was surprised and asked: "To me, the value of ancient mantras is not its effect, but its own research value."
Nan Liuli frowned, puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Zuo Chongming lowered his head and thought, organized his words, and murmured softly: "I suddenly had an idea recently."
"Could the so-called ancient nine-character mantra be related to the way of cultivation? If they can be analyzed, can martial arts be optimized?"
"Tempering the body, coagulating blood, returning to the origin, sea of origin, stars, law... the road to martial arts is only so long? Can we go further?"
"you you……"
Nan Liuli's eyes suddenly shrank, and the look in his eyes was full of shock.
She never thought that this guy's ambition was so big...
Zuo Chongming actually wants to push martial arts to a further level?
It is no exaggeration to say that his idea alone surpasses 99% of people in the world.
Because normal people have never even thought about it or dare to think about it.
——

Dudu~.
There was a rapid knock on the door.
Zuo Chongming raised his eyelids and said, "Come in."
Jiang Fenglong pushed the door open and said anxiously: "Master Hou, something bad has happened. The people from Shenjian Villa are here again."
"What? You mean again?"
"I know this."
Nan Liuli said in a deep voice: "Not long after you retreated, Shenjian Villa came to your door. They came because of Feng Qianxue's matter."
"Later, they felt that you were in seclusion solely because they didn't want to see them, so they prepared to force their way into the Three Peaks of Jiange."
"At that time, a mysterious swordsman master appeared and forced the people of Shenjian Villa back. They promised that they would come back."
During that time, newspapers were also discussing who the mysterious Dharma Realm swordsman was.
It's a pity that there are different opinions, but in the end there is no certainty.
But Nan Liuli had just understood that that master must be Chen Xingzu.
"So that's it."
Zuo Chongming was thoughtful, frowning and asked: "Didn't you arrange a meeting between Feng Qianxue and the people from Shenjian Villa at that time?"
Jiang Fenglong smiled bitterly: "It has been arranged, but Feng Qianxue seems to be in retreat as well."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Trouble."
Zuo Chongming sighed and stood up helplessly: "Miss Liuli, you can start making preparations now. I will give instructions to the merchant alliance."
Prepare?
Jiang Fenglong's expression froze. He recalled what he saw when he delivered the sour plum juice just now, and the guess in his heart became more and more certain.
This Nan Liuli must have made... some kind of deal with Mr. Hou. It was probably... well, that kind of... ahem.
"Send someone to go to the Three Peaks of Jiange."
The moment Zuo Chongming stepped out of the threshold, the smile on his face had disappeared: "Tell Feng Qianxue that if you can't make it in half an hour, just collect the body from the Excalibur Villa."
Hearing this, Jiang Fenglong nodded quickly and left here quickly.
"Do you want me to take action?"
"I can tell that among the people coming to Shenjian Villa this time, there is a Dharma Realm warrior who is difficult to deal with."
"Now is not the time to take action."
Zuo Chongming raised his chin and motioned for Chen Xingzu to lead the way: "Do you really think that Shenjian Villa is just here to find Feng Qianxue?"
Chen Xingzu led the way and asked with a frown, "Isn't it?"
Zuo Chongming shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "In addition, they probably have another idea, and that is testing."
"I see."
Chen Xingzu nodded: "Master Hou, you have been in seclusion for a long time without showing up. Some people can't help but feel restless, so Shenjian Villa wants to take advantage of this..."
At this point, he wondered: "But we don't have any deep hatred against Shenjian Villa, right? How did they do it so brilliantly?"
Zuo Chongming sneered and said: "To put it bluntly, Shenjian Villa is also a power in the world, and it is the group at the top."
"Do you still remember that I used the strategy of killing with a borrowed knife to force the monarchs from all over the world to use the knife to those Jianghu forces?"
"Although Shenjian Villa can withstand it, their friends may not, so they want to avenge their friends and comrades."
"They want to know through testing whether I am in seclusion or if something happened to me."
"Once it is confirmed that something happened, then when the news spreads, all the forces in the world will tacitly change the direction of the attack."
"It's a pity that the last test was fruitless and exposed you instead. Masters of Dharma Realm are not common and no one dares to look down upon you."
"So, before my situation is confirmed, those people only dare to be petty and don't dare to actually use knives or guns against Xiyun Mansion.
Chen Xingzu suddenly realized: "No wonder after leaving Shenjian Villa last time, the area around Xiyun Mansion was not peaceful, and certain forces were not so happy to pay their bills."
"Make a list."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "If their delay exceeds the established time limit of the contract, then let them pay for it with their lives."
"In addition, I ordered Ning Huang to organize a fleet to prepare to take off and rush to Shenjian Villa day and night..."
Qi Hao, who was standing at the door, saw him and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Master Marquis, they are already waiting in the main hall."
"Let's go and meet them."
Zuo Chongming showed an implicit and warm smile and walked slowly to the door with his hands behind his back.
The moment he appeared, several people talking in the room turned their heads at the same time and looked at him up and down.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a white robe stood up and said, "I have heard about the title of Champion for a long time, and it is indeed extraordinary to see him today."
Zuo Chongming glanced at them with a smile but not a smile, and said calmly: "If I don't come forward, you will probably have to tear down your humble abode."
"Where, where."
The middle-aged man's face stiffened, and he smiled dryly and said: "The champion is serious. We were also concerned about the safety of the young master of the villa. We waited for a long time without getting the results, so we made the regretful move."
"regret?"
"The two words you used so lightly caused Xiyun Mansion to be in chaos for a while, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to calm it down."
"If you hadn't imprisoned the young master of my villa, we wouldn't have done this."
"Oh, imprisonment?"
Zuo Chongming smiled: "Your young master came to challenge me, and I made a bet with him. If he is willing to admit defeat, why should he be imprisoned?"
An old man in civilian clothes sneered: "My grandson is a genius, how could he be defeated by you and other yellow-haired brats? You must have used dirty tricks..."
"Look, what is that?"
Zuo Chongming was not angry at all, and motioned for them to look up at the sky: "What a coincidence, the direction of these planes seems to be the direction of Shenjian Villa."
