In the secret room on the top floor of Tongbao Trading Company in Lufucheng, the chief steward Jia Wanli stood respectfully in front of a bronze mirror that was taller than the person he was. The image reflected inside was a man wearing a brocade robe with a big belly, who was very similar to Jia Zhengjing.
young people.
Only the eldest son of the Jia family - Jia Zhenglun - can be treated with such respect by Grand Master Jia Wanli, who is called the Great Master.
"He family!"
Jia Zhenglun pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Seventh uncle has done a good job. The He family is second only to the aristocratic family in power, and it is also the local leader of Qinzhou. Our Jia family pursues kindness to others, and there is nothing wrong with being friendly and making money!"
"But looking at the young prince today, his displeasure is palpable. I'm afraid he has been greatly offended!"
Jia Wanli thought of Wu Ming's indifference when he took the Requiem Pill away, not even bothering to cover it up, and felt that something was wrong.
"It doesn't matter. After all, we are still young and don't know how to restrain our sharp edges. Although I have done a few good things with my sixth brother, the past few years have been too smooth, making them a little forgetful and taking it for granted!"
Jia Jinglun didn't pay much attention.
Jia Wanli's lips moved, and seeing the way he held his pearls of wisdom in his hands, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"Seventh uncle, you have to pay closer attention to the matters in Taisu Immortal Palace!"
Jia Zhenglun looked solemn and said.
"Young Master, our Jia family has never participated in sectarian strife. There may be something wrong with this matter!"
Jia Wanli frowned slightly.
"Haha, seventh uncle is worrying too much!"
Jia Zhengjing smiled and shook his head, Yun Danfeng said lightly, "Taisu Immortal Palace is in danger. The only semi-saint strongman is about to end his life and will return to ruins. These years of using female disciples to recruit strong support is just to drink poison to quench his thirst.
, who knows, if you drive a tiger to devour a wolf, you will be eaten by a tiger and a wolf instead?"
"Young Master has indeed thought carefully. However, those sects in Qinzhou are determined to knock Taisu Immortal Palace down from the mortal world. The major wealthy families are also eyeing it, and even the imperial court is ready to take a piece of the pie. At this time, we
If I intervene, I'm afraid I'm going to add insult to injury and be easily criticized!"
Jia Wanli said worriedly.
"My Jia family started out as merchants, so naturally we are in business. If you want to be promoted in a sect, the seventh uncle knows the hardships better than I do.
We don’t need to add insult to injury, as long as each family has needs, we will sell whatever they need, and whoever wins in the end, we can all benefit from both sides.”
Jia Zhenglun smiled.
"The young man is far-sighted and far-sighted, but he is not as good as an old man!"
Jia Wanli's eyes lit up, he smiled and complimented.
"Haha, seventh uncle, please don't praise me so much. Qinzhou's affairs still need your expert eyes!"
Although Jia Zhenglun spoke modestly, he could not hide the color in his smile. He cupped his hands and said, "When this matter is over, I will ask my seventh uncle to come to Zhongtang to help me!"
"Don't worry, young master!"
Jia Wanli said seriously.
After saying that, the light and shadow on the mirror flashed and returned to normal.
"Hey, today's juniors don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and everyone is worried. Hey, Zhongtang? It's better for me, the old man, to stay in a corner! I'm old!"
Jia Wanli's slightly rickety back straightened instantly, as if the smiling old man before was an illusion, standing like a mountain in the secret room, and his attitude towards Jia Zhenglun before and after was also completely different.
While muttering to himself, Jia Wanli suddenly waved his sleeves and robe, and the light and shadow of the bronze mirror changed again, flashing for about half a cup of tea, and finally they turned into a middle-aged man with a pleasant smile, who looked like a member of a wealthy family.
"Why have you summoned Uncle Qi?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Don't dare!"
Jia Wanli bowed his hands and told Jia Jinglun what he had said before.
"That little guy is a troublemaker. He caused a big mess in Hezhou before. Most of the exercises and secret techniques sold to you came from the Green Forest Road in Hezhou. He knew that these were hot potatoes, and I'm afraid they would have been there for a long time.
Save your time and find channels to sell!
Xiaoliuzi’s Guangyuanzhai is just the best channel to write off your debt!”
The middle-aged man laughed and cursed.
"The patriarch's candle shines thousands of miles away, and he has a clear vision as if he were watching a fire!"
Jia Wanli complimented, and suddenly said solemnly, "There is one more thing that the clan leader needs to be careful about!"
The smile on the middle-aged man's face faded.
This man was respected as the patriarch by Jia Wanli, and he was none other than the contemporary patriarch of the Jia family - Jia Hong!
"I saw something in this man's hand, which looks very much like the tea set the old patriarch used when he had a drink with Mr. Fan!"
Jia Wanli described the tea cup in Wu Ming's hand in detail.
"I'm afraid I can't be wrong!"
Jia Hong's pupils shrank repeatedly, and he said with a rather solemn expression, "This boy is the opportunity for that saint to be made a saint. That boy is also half a disciple of Mr. Fan, both a teacher and a friend. Previously, a mountain giant spirit appeared in the Taihang Mountains. That saint
Zun and Mr. Fan have been friends for many years, but this boy was chased by the mountain giant spirit and finally disappeared inexplicably. It is probably related to these two people."
If Wu Ming were here, his jaw would definitely drop. Jia Hong guessed it in just a few words!
"If that's the case..."
Jia Wanli tried.
"If you don't do anything, the Holy Lord will be able to understand the people's hearts. Especially Mr. Fan, he is the first-class wise man in the human race. Nothing can be hidden from his old man's eyes. Just let it take its course!"
Jia Hong waved his hand to stop, and finally added, "Just relax a little more on your side of Xiao Liuzi's resources!"
"yes!"
Jia Wanli bowed and responded.
…
At the same time, in the private room downstairs of the commercial bank, Wu Ming fed the requiem pill to the old man, who slept peacefully as usual. If he hadn't seen him covered in injuries before and had been tortured to search for his soul, there would be nothing unusual from the outside.
Peng Zailu was filled with emotion. In his opinion, it was not worth it and could even be said to be stupid for Wu Ming to give up the Requiem Pill worth 300,000 spirit stones and offend a behemoth family like the He family.
But that’s what happened!
As smart as he is, I really can't figure out why.
"Your Majesty, this is the price list of the many treasures you sell. If there are no problems, we can hand over it now!"
Peng Zailu presented a jade slip and said.
Wu Ming put the jade slip between his eyebrows, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and saw that it was densely packed, listing the prices of all the treasures, and finally summed up more than seven million spiritual stones!
Even an ordinary great master cannot come up with such wealth!
The jade box and dragon spirit liquid that Wu Ming finally took out accounted for more than one-third.
"This... the price is indeed a bit low, but the prince should know that these things also need various channels and are distributed to various departments for sale. Factors such as the period need to be considered..."
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Peng Zailu rubbed his fat hands and explained.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming smiled and waved his hand, shook his head slightly and said, "I know the rules, so I have to trouble Manager Peng more this time to collect everything I need as soon as possible!"
"It's all together, it's all together, Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Peng Zailu was already prepared and handed over a bag.
With such a large amount of treasures as security, Peng Zailu was very concerned. As early as the first day, he notified other branches to pay attention to what Wu Ming needed. Today, he was promoted to the money order, and his privileges went one step further, and he gathered all the treasures.
All ready!
Wu Ming's eyes lit up, and he reached into the bag with his spiritual consciousness. He looked at the various treasures inside and nodded with satisfaction.
It has to be said that Tongbao Trading Company's work efficiency is extremely high. If he had to collect it slowly by himself, it would be impossible within a few years, and most of it would depend on luck.
Of course, this is also because there are enough spiritual stones. As the saying goes, money can make the world go round!
"There is one more thing that I would like to ask Manager Peng to pay attention to!"
Wu Mingliu said thoughtfully.
"If you have any orders, Your Majesty, just tell me!"
"I am in a hurry on this trip and I need a weapon that I can use. The grade is limited to the top grade Xuan Weapon, which is mainly sharp, tough, and heavy!"
Wu Ming took out a heavy knife that was close to his body and gave a brief introduction.
The heavy sword was no more than a middle-grade Xuan-level sword. Although it was easy to use, as the enemies became stronger and stronger, it was obviously not enough.
Although the Lengyue Sword is good, its grade is too high. So far, it only has the power of one sword, so it can only be slaughtered by others. According to Wu Ming's estimation, if you want to use this sword at will, you may need a great master!
I didn't want to change it at first, but after provoking the He family and having to go to Taisu Immortal Palace, I had to make comprehensive preparations!
"Good knife!"
Peng Zailu held the knife in his hand and looked at it carefully. His eyes flashed suddenly, "To be honest with you, the prince, there is a suitable sword in the store, but the price..."
"Spiritual stones are not a problem!"
Wu Ming patted the bag with a smile.
"Haha, your lord is happy, I will get it now!"
Peng Zailu left the private room without saying a word, and returned after a while. He held a long black wooden box and opened it with a snap. A sharp edge rushed out, causing a roaring wind and waves in the room.
The old man who was still unconscious seemed to be unable to bear it and trembled all over.
"Good knife!"
Wu Ming casually waved a burst of zhenqi to protect the old man, and then he grabbed the sword. He didn't pick it up for the first time. He took it out with a little force. When he waved it casually, the air started to buzz.
"The name of this sword is Broken Gold. It is two feet and six inches long and weighs more than a thousand jun. It has the ability to shatter armor and is the toughest and sharpest!"
Peng Zailu introduced.
Wu Ming gently stroked the green-black blade, his fingertips slightly cool. Although the blade had fine golden star dots that flickered on and off, there was no rough feeling at all, and it was as smooth as water!
"This is the knife. Let Manager Peng settle the matter!"
Wu Ming was very satisfied and didn't ask about the price.
"This is the final settlement of the spiritual stone. Please keep it, Your Majesty!"
Peng Guanshi's eyes were narrowed to slits, and he presented a bag, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time.
Also, it is rare to meet such a generous customer!
"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave!"
Wu Ming glanced at it and saw that there were four million spiritual stones inside, which he put into his arms.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying more. You have greatly offended the He family. If you leave now, I'm afraid..."
Peng Zailu didn't finish what he said, but the meaning is self-evident.
"No problem!"
Wu Ming ignored the request to stay and left the trading company directly, heading to the Teleportation Hall in Lufucheng.
As expected, there were a lot of people following him secretly, but they were not disappointed when they saw Wu Ming leaving in Fujing Tianmen.
After several teleportations, Wu Ming has arrived at Qiyun City, which is the largest city outside the Qiyun Mountains. From here to Qiyun Mountains, there is no Fujing Tianmen.
Different from the past, Wu Ming did not take the merchant ship, but directly sacrificed the black jade cloud boat and left in the light.
The super speed caused the He family's stalkers, who had been waiting here for a long time, to be instantly confused in the wind! (To be continued)
