The boss of the three wolves in Saibei came closer to Ye Yuxi and bowed respectfully: "Captain, if we take the wormhole, we can directly reach the core area of the northwest region. Do you want to find a place to rest now?"
Ye Yuxi glanced at the people behind her. Ye Wen and Shan Zicheng didn't look too tired on their faces.
"No need to rest, let's go directly to the wormhole."
Everyone rushed to the wormhole without stopping.
After handing over a large amount of gold coins at the entrance and setting foot on the mithril crafting ship, a few people were less anxious.
Because it's useless to rush, the ship's traveling speed in the wormhole is fixed.
Ye Yuxi spent millions of gold coins to rent several rooms. Heifeng Tianzong and others were practicing in their rooms. Ye Yuxi called the three Saibei wolves into the room to question them.
"What are the names of you three?" Ye Yuxi motioned for a few people to sit down.
The voice of the boss of the three wolves in Saibei was full of humility: "My name is Zhu Zihu, this is my second brother Zhu Zibao, and my third brother Zhu Zixiong."
Ye Yuxi nodded lightly, "I heard Mr. Bai say that the three of you were originally in the northwest region. How much do you know about the power relations in the northwest region?"
"Captain, the three of us have been engaged in the murder business before. We generally know a little about the grievances between these big forces, but relatively less about the small forces." Zhu Zihu replied.
"How much do you know about the grievances between the Zheng family and the Zhao family in the medicinal materials business?" Ye Yuxi asked.
"Zheng family?" Zhu Zihu frowned slightly: "A few years ago, the affairs of the Zheng family and the Zhao family were quite hotly debated. Almost everyone knew about it, but most of them were rumors. We don't know how many of them are true. It’s hard to say.”
"It's okay, just tell me what you know." Ye Yuxi indicated with her eyes.
Zhu Zihu thought for a while and said: "The Zheng family and the Zhao family mainly deal in medicinal materials business, as well as some elixirs and auction houses. The two families have always been in a competitive relationship. In the past few years, the Zheng family has been growing bigger and bigger in the northwest. The medicinal materials business market has always been guided by the Zheng family, but the Zhao family has suddenly risen in the past ten years."
"The last ten years?" Ye Yuxi's pupils shrank and she spoke subconsciously.
"Yes! The Zhao family was only a second-rate force in the northwest region before. In the past ten years, it has suddenly risen for unknown reasons. Three years ago, the Zhao family's financial resources and strength vaguely surpassed the Zheng family."
Zhu Zihu's words made Ye Yuxi's heart tighten. Ten years ago, ten years ago was the time when Yaowang Valley was in trouble. It seemed that the rise of the Zhao family was probably related to the support of Guiluomen.
"From what I've seen in the group's investigation on the forces in the northwest region, the Zheng family can only be regarded as a low-level force now. Three years ago, they were still a top-notch force. How could they decline so quickly?" Ye Yuxi expressed her doubts.
Even if a powerful force like the Zheng family could not match its rivals in business, it would not have declined so quickly. In three years, it had fallen from first-class to bottom-class, to the point where it could not even be considered a third-class force
This speed is too incredible.
"The leader is not from the northwest region. It is normal to be surprised by these arrivals. The current Zheng family is indeed not popular in the northwest region. It is not because of their rapid decline, but because the current Zheng family is not the same as the previous Zheng family." Zhu Zi Tiger revealed the key.
"Huh?" Ye Yuxi motioned for him to continue.
"The Zheng family's industry is mainly in the hands of the immediate family. Three years ago, the Zheng family, under pressure from the Zhao family, began to consolidate its position as the leader in the medicinal materials industry. To consolidate its position, the most critical thing is the quality and price of medicinal materials."
