"Thank you, Master Chen." Qiu Chou grinned, and then waved his paw impatiently: "These three poor guys, take them away immediately, they are such an eyesore!"
Many strong men immediately stepped forward and beat the three of them severely.
Even the delicate Sisters Li and Xin were brutally beaten and carried out of the Treasure Demon Tower.
Wang Hai fell the hardest, and his butt almost cracked. He covered his butt with resentment: "Xia Qingchen, we are not done yet!"
In the Wang family of Jingxi, no member of the family has ever been humiliated, but the family has ignored it.
Xia Qingchen must pay the price!
Let's talk about Bao Yao Tower.
Not long after, the owner of Bao Yao received joint recommendations from three people.
Xia Qingchen handed her the recommendation letter with the words "Zhao Yunshi" printed on it and said, "Take it."
Zhao Yunshi looked ashamed and said: "I'm sorry, I overestimated myself, so I messed up the matter."
She was supposed to be the one looking for recommendations for Xia Qingchen, but in the end it was Xia Qingchen who did it instead.
"It has nothing to do with you." Xia Qingchen said, "However, you do have to be more thoughtful when making friends."
Then Sister Li and Sister Xin are really not good teachers and helpful friends.
Zhao Yunshi's pretty face was dark: "Liangzhou City is a place that depends on the background. Our Zhao family is only a third-class family. Who is willing to make a true friendship with me?"
Xia Qingchen frowned slightly, the atmosphere in Liangzhou City was indeed too flashy.
Most of them are keen on money and comparison, but they are not as hardworking and persistent in martial arts as the people in Tianyueling.
In a cold environment, this is not a good thing.
"Whether your family is strong or not is determined by the hard work of your ancestors for generations. You cannot blame others for being worse than others." Xia Qingchen did not sympathize with Zhao Yunshi because of this.
Zhao Yunshi sighed bitterly: "What if I told you that our Zhao family was once a first-class family?"
oh?
Why did it plummet and become a third-class family?
"Have you heard that the Northwest Army suffered heavy losses?" Zhao Yunshi said.
Xia Qingchen nodded: "I know."
It was precisely because the Northwest Army suffered huge losses and many positions were vacant that he joined the Northwest Army.
"A few years ago, a border mine that my Zhao family was in charge of was suddenly violently attacked by Linjing Dusk. The top brass of the Zhao family and the Northwest Army who were guarding the mine suffered extremely heavy casualties."
"Especially our Zhao family, including several old family heads at that time, were all buried in the mines. All the top leaders were lost, and only one family head of Xiaoyue realm was left in charge."
"Without the strong man, the foundation of the Zhao family has been shaken. In just a few years, the family has fallen from a first-class family to a third-class family!"
"The instigator of this is the Yu family! According to the gossip we have, it was the Yu family who planted an internal agent in the mine and opened the mine gate at the critical moment, attracting the dusk army to march straight in."
It’s the Yu family again!
This is not surprising to Xia Qingchen. The Yu family seems to be particularly good at buying people and using them to their advantage.
No wonder the Zhao family and the Yu family are not on good terms. It turns out there is still such grudges.
"But there is no evidence, so we can only endure this bad breath." Zhao Yunshi clenched his fists: "Can you still say now that our ancestors didn't work hard enough?"
"We tried our best, but we just couldn't resist the villain's plot!"
Xia Qingchen was silent for a moment and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood."
He pondered in his mind.
After ten months, it will be the time when he ascends to the Yu clan and wipes out the entire clan.
Tingxuelou is his secret power, and it is best to have a power on the surface, which can facilitate many things.
The Zhao family and the Yu family have a life-and-death feud, but Zhao Feimo and Zhao Yunshi are pretty good people and are the best candidates for support.
"Contact the head of your Zhao family. Someone will come to visit later and give you a chance to cooperate." Xia Qingchen said.
Zhao Yunshi was stunned: "Who is it?"
"We'll know later." Xia Qingchen said calmly, and left, returning to the military camp first.
Zhao Yunshi looked suspicious: "Mysterious! Who can ask our Zhao family to cooperate?"
Today's Zhao family, the mine that was its foundation in the past, has been occupied by dusk, and has long lost all sources of income.
Where else is there anyone looking for cooperation with them?
"The head of the family has been in a lot of trouble recently. If it's not necessary, it's better not to bother him." Zhao Yunshi thought for a while but did not inform.
When Xia Qingchen returned to the camp.
A mature figure wearing a bamboo hat stopped in front of her.
She immediately dedicated herself and bowed down: "I am a beautiful lady, please see the original poster!"
Xia Qingchen said: "It's finally here, half a month later than expected."
The person who came was Su Xin, the deputy landlord of Tingxue Tower whom he appointed.
Hearing this, Su Xin was frightened and said: "I came here half a month ago, but the host is in retreat in Wu Pagoda, and I can't get close to him, so I can only wait around the camp."
Xia Qingchen suddenly realized that the Northwest Army was heavily guarded and outsiders could not break in.
He himself was in seclusion in Wu Pagoda, how could Su Xin see him?
"Come in with me." Xia Qingchen led her to the camp: "How are the preparations for Tingxue Building going?"
Suxin took off her bamboo hat, revealing a beautiful face, and knelt down on one knee.
No one would have imagined that Su Xin, the deputy owner of Tingxue Tower, who controls the lifeblood of the secret medicine world, determines the honor and disgrace of countless wealthy families, and has countless powerful men under his command, would actually kneel in front of a young man!
She lowered her head and said respectfully: "Reporting to the building owner, all 108 regions have already established Tingxue Building branches."
"The first purpose of the separate buildings is to recruit troops and local strong men, and the second purpose is to sell various secret medicines and accumulate wealth."
"Now, we are considering building a Tingxue Tower headquarters in Liangzhou City," Suxin said.
Xia Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, barely having a prototype of what an organization should be.
"Where has the headquarters decided to locate?" Xia Qingchen asked.
Su Xin said: "In Liangzhou City, big forces are entrenched. The best land has already been occupied, and it will not be sold easily. We are still negotiating, but the process is slow."
Xia Qingchen thought: "How about the Yu Family Guild Hall?"
Su Xin said in surprise: "What the poster mentioned is the place known as the No. 1 Guild Hall in Liangjing?"
"Um."
Su Xin said: "The guild hall is surrounded by water on three sides and faces Prince Liang's Mansion to the north. It has the potential to compete with Prince Liang's Mansion. It is an imperial place."
"The Yu family regards it as a treasure land for family prosperity and cannot sell it to outsiders."
Xia Qingchen nodded slightly: "Okay, then choose the guild hall as the headquarters of Tingxue Tower."
ah?
Suxin opened her mouth, and she already said that it was absolutely impossible for the Yu family to sell this place.
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "Just get ready, I'll take over the guild hall."
He seemed to be talking about a very common thing, as if the Yu family would definitely give it to him.
"Yes, the poster." Su Xin recalled how Xia Qingchen overturned the Tianyue Ridge Temple with one person's power, and her shaken heart became strong again.
There is nothing in the world that the host cannot do!
If so, it means he doesn't want to do it.
"In addition, which families in Liangzhou City do you choose to cooperate with?" Xia Qingchen asked.
He needs to check the selection of cooperative families and eliminate some, such as the Jingxi Wang family!
