Chapter seventy-one

Chapter 71 Leaving the near for the far

Guyang City.

Inside a huge castle.

"Master, we've found out.

That batch of ore comes from an inconspicuous mine vein in the Cang family."

In the meeting hall, a stunning woman in a smart outfit clasped her fists and said.

The stunning woman was none other than the eldest lady of the Han family, Han Shuxue, whom Cang Xiaotian met by chance on the road.

"Cang family?"

At the main seat, a burly middle-aged man looked thoughtful.

At this time, a man in black robes on the seat next to him stood up: "The head of the family, just the Cang family, is not qualified to enjoy such high-purity mineral veins.

If our Han family doesn’t take it, sooner or later it will fall into the hands of other families.”

After hearing what the man in black robe said, many people present nodded in agreement.

The Cang family is a second-rate family, but there are many in Guyang City who are stronger than him.

If the news that the Cang family is sitting on a high-purity mineral vein leaks out, there is no guarantee that it will not attract covetous attention.

"I think this matter must not be done too radically.

My Han family is powerful and has grown in popularity in recent years.

After all, the city lord of Guyang City has a eccentric temperament, and no one knows whether he will suddenly come out and intervene."

Sitting on the seat, an old man with white hair and beard spoke slowly.

The old man's last sentence was said very tactfully, and everyone understood it.

With the eccentric temper of the city lord, if he really showed up to take care of worldly affairs, it would be more than just intervention.

To put it bluntly, it would actually directly suppress the Han family.

Who told the Han family to be so outstanding?

This kind of thing has not happened before in the history of Guyang City.

Everyone thought the old man's words were reasonable, but Han Wei, who was in charge, was shocked when he heard it.

Suppress the Han family?

Doesn't that mean you want to attack him, Han Wei?

Why is the Han family the only one in Guyang City?

It's entirely because of him, the head of the family.

Han Wei, the head of the Han family, is the only strong innate martial artist in Guyang City, a being who stands at the top.

As long as the city lord doesn't show up, Han Wei will be invincible.

Although he knew that the city lord would rarely show up, Han Wei would not risk his own life.

Ever since he broke through and became an innate martial artist, he has always kept a low profile.

"Ahem!"

Han Wei cleared his throat and stood up, "What you two said makes sense.

My Han family is the first family in Guyang City, yes, but we never bully others."

"However, we, the Han family, should not sit back and watch such a high-purity mineral vein fall into the wrong hands!"

When Han Wei said this, he sat back down and stopped talking.

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

I thought the head of the family was about to make a decision, but he didn't think he was half finished and stopped talking.

At this time, Han Shuxue stepped forward and said, "Master, the entire refining workshop in Guyang City is run by my Han family.

Although the Cang family has high-purity ore, if you want to refine it, you have to come to my Han family! Then, wouldn’t it be better if we increase our share of the ore so that we don’t have to mine it ourselves and can take advantage of it?”

Han Shuxue's words made everyone present brighten their eyes.

The men in black robes, including the old man, couldn't help but secretly praise him.

The eldest lady is indeed the eldest lady!

Even Han Wei couldn't help but show approval.

"Of course, if the Cang family has the intention to sacrifice the near and seek the distant, then that's a different matter."

Han Shuxue added another sentence.

"Seek the far away instead of the near?"

No one here is a fool, it's clear at this point.

"In that case... Xue'er, Lei Guang, I will leave this matter to you two.

Keep an eye on the Cang family and report directly to the elder if there is any situation."

Han Wei finally gave the order.

Han Shuxue, the man in black robe, and the old man all accepted the order.

After the others dispersed, only Han Shuxue was left in the conference hall. Han Wei's eyes immediately softened: "You girl, your mind is becoming more flexible and witty.

Dad is old..."

"It's because dad taught me well!"

Han Shuxue smiled lightly.

Seeing his daughter's strong female temperament, Han Wei couldn't help but worry in his heart: Who dares to marry her like this?

I'm afraid I won't be able to get married!

"Dad has recently come to a realization and plans to retreat for a period of time.

For family matters, just discuss it with a few elders."

"……yes!"

Watching Han Shuxue leave, Han Wei shook his head and smiled, this girl.



Night falls.

Quite far away from Guyang City, a small group of people was walking quietly.

A figure among them is Cang Xiaotian.

At this moment, Cang Xiaotian looked depressed.

He didn't understand. Since it was a very important ore trade, why should he, a dandy young man, be allowed to do it?

It's inconvenient for my father, so why not ask Uncle Feng to handle it?

Feng Xiao has followed Cang Jiuhai for many years. He is also a strong martial artist and loyal to the Cang family.

On weekdays, Cang Jiuhai spends a lot of time in seclusion practicing, and Feng Xiao is basically responsible for all the affairs of the Cang family.

And Cang Xiaotian, who has been accustomed to idleness since childhood, how can he do serious things?

Every time Cang Jiuhai comes out of seclusion, he always scolds his useless son.

Cang Xiaotian is very afraid of his father. He always behaves well when he is scolded, but after being scolded, he still remains true to his nature.

Cang Jiuhai was helpless.

I don’t know what Cang Jiuhai was thinking this time, actually letting Cang Xiaotian participate in such an important matter.

"Master, I don't want you to let down your talent."

Feng Xiao looked at Cang Xiaotian's dejected look and couldn't help but say.

"Talent?"

Cang Xiaotian almost spit out these two words from his nose.

What talent does he have?

Cultivation or business?

Is it to go mining?

He can't endure hardships in cultivation, and he doesn't have the talent. He spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. Cang Xiaotian is now twenty-eight years old, and he is just a martial arts student.

He doesn't know how to do business and has no interest in it.

As for mining, it is even more impossible.

Seeing Cang Xiaotian's careless look all the time, Feng Xiao also sighed secretly in his heart.

"Master, you are smarter than others..."

"Um?"

Feng Xiao was halfway through speaking when he seemed to notice something.

Cang Xiaotian also noticed movement behind the rocks on the roadside, and the two of them looked towards the roadside in unison.

"Be careful!"

Feng Xiao reminded everyone.

He glanced at Cang Xiaotian subconsciously.

Cang Xiaotian, whose physical training level is only a mere martial arts student, could he detect such a subtle movement at the same time as a martial artist like him?

"Hahaha..." With a burst of laughter, a group of people walked out from behind the rocks on the roadside, all of them masked.

When Feng Xiao saw it, his heart sank.

Still found!

He glanced around and saw that there were no fewer than twenty people on the other side.

Are you from the Han family?

The leader glanced at Cang Xiaotian and others: "You are quite alert! You are not sleeping in the middle of the night. Where are you planning to go?"

As he spoke, the man also looked emphatically at the packages on the backs of three of them, which looked quite heavy.

Cang Xiaotian looked at Feng Xiao subconsciously.

As a young master through and through, how often has Cang Xiaotian seen such a battle?

Is this the legendary road robbery?

Cang Xiaotian's palms began to sweat.

"kill!"

Feng Xiao roared and rushed forward first.
