It was already around three o'clock when the three of them returned to the Duke's Mansion. When they walked through the courtyard, Yue Jinghua saw Chixi sleeping in the small courtyard with a lamp still on. Under the shadow of the lamp, Chixi was sitting at the table, frowning deeply, sighing from time to time. Take a breath.
"Captain," Chi Xi immediately stood up respectfully upon seeing Yue Jinghua.
After some questioning, Chi Xi no longer concealed it, and confessed her thoughts.
Although Yue Jinghua is old enough to be Chi Xi's daughter, and Chi Xi is a four-star mercenary, she always has an inexplicable respect for Yue Jinghua.
This girl who is only over ten years old has a pair of wise and calm eyes. Her words and actions give Chi Xi a long-lost sense of security. It seems that no matter what kind of problem, in front of her, she can always solve it. Easy to solve.
It was her son who stayed in her husband's house that made Chi Xi distressed.
In the July mercenary squad, almost everyone has their own story.
Chixi's husband's family is in the Owawa Imperial Capital, which is also known.
"It's only natural for a mother to miss her son. If you miss him, go and see him. Does your husband's family dare to stop you?" Lie Rou used to talk about her eldest son when she was in Shang Kingdom Yue Minzhi and Chixi haven't seen their son for more than ten years, so it's only reasonable for them to want to meet now.
"When I left Zhu'er, he was only four years old, and he was only this big." Chi Xi's eyes flickered, with loving gestures, "I remember, the night before I left, I promised him that I would take him with me." .”
More than ten years ago, Chixi couldn't bear the anguish of being a concubine. He accidentally learned that his ex-husband's wife was planning to deal with him secretly, so he decided to leave her husband's house.
I wanted to escape at night and take my son away secretly, but I was betrayed by the maid who was close to me, and was caught by the official sent who heard the news.
His husband's family is powerful, and Chi Xi, a mysterious person under him, is even more powerless to fight back.
"I was severely injured and kicked out of the Qing Mansion overnight. I didn't even see the child for the last time. The child didn't know it. He thought I abandoned him and hated me as a mother already. So what? Would you like to see me," Chi Xi dejectedly shook his head.
"Qing Mansion?" Hearing what Chi Xi said, Yue Jinghua only felt that her husband's surname was somewhat familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, Qing was not a common surname, and it was rare in the entire Owa Emperor City, and the other party was rich. Powerful...
"That's right, my ex-husband is Qingfeng from Yanyue Chamber of Commerce. Ever since I was kicked out of the Qing Mansion, Qingfeng's main wife has been unfulfilled and has never had anything to show for her. She took my child under her name as a She was brought up by the heir of the Qing family, who is Qing Zizhu of the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce," Chi Xi secretly wanted to contact her son a few years ago, but was blocked by her husband's family.
Qing Zizhu, as the first heir of the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce, regardless of his own profound arts, there are too many master guards around him.
With Chixi's current cultivation base, it is not easy to see Qing Zizhu, let alone take a look at it from a distance.
"Auntie, even if I leave this matter to me, I will definitely let you meet Qing Zizhu." Yue Jinghua comforted Chi Xi.
The night passed away quietly, and in the next few days, Yue Jinghua still took Xiao Shan to participate in the beast fights in the underground Colosseum uninterruptedly.
With the guidance of the golden silkworm, Xiao Shan skillfully avoided other war beasts. For six consecutive days, he maintained an undefeated record of five battles and five wins every night, and the prize money he won also increased accordingly.
This will inevitably attract the prying eyes of some interested people, and people have started to inquire about Xiao Shan's worth one after another, and even several times, some people want to buy Xiao Shan in Yue Jinghua's hands through the underground Colosseum.
But Yue Jinghua rejected them one by one.
On the sixth day, the female receptionist who received Yue Jinghua on the first day approached Yue Jinghua again.
"I have already said that this little beast is my first profound beast. It means a lot to me, and I will never resell it to others," Yue Jinghua seemed to have guessed the female receptionist's words. thoughts.
"Guests, please don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to persuade you to resell the mysterious beast in your hand, but someone wants to get acquainted with the guests through the underground colosseum," the female receptionist saw Yue Jinghua casually took out such a The mysterious beast in front of him had already secretly speculated that the young man in front of him might be from a wealthy family.
As for the underground Colosseum, they also secretly investigated Yue Jinghua's origin and background, but every time they sent people to follow Yue Jinghua, they would be thrown off extremely cleverly.
No matter how hard she tried, Yue Jinghua's words would not reveal a single flaw.
"Oh? You have to know that I'm not willing to meet everyone," Yue Jinghua shook her head with a smile.
"You must see this person, because he is the young master of Yanyue Chamber of Commerce, Master Qing." The female receptionist whispered, and the smile on the corner of Yue Jinghua's mouth deepened.
The Yanyue Chamber of Commerce has been a little troubled these days, and the reason is that there is a problem with their supply of mysterious beasts.
The reason why Yanyue Chamber of Commerce and Yunhu Chamber of Commerce became the two major chambers of Longzhan Chamber of Commerce is that he is the largest supplier of mysterious beasts in the Dragon War Empire.
The ancestors of the Qing family were breeders, and they had been running the business for several generations, allowing the Qing family to have a unique method of obtaining mysterious beast cubs and raising and hatching mysterious beasts within and outside the Dragon War Empire.
In addition, several imperial concubines came out of the Qing family's descendants, which made the Qing family become an imperial merchant, and even some of the dragon eggs for the annual dragon pulling test were provided by the Qing family.
The two parties have been cooperating happily all these years, but just this month, the situation has changed because of the unknown mysterious beast that just appeared in the Colosseum.
Due to Xiao Shan's big victory, the Colosseum lost a lot of betting money. The Colosseum blamed the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce that provided the mysterious beasts, thinking that the mysterious beasts they provided were too inferior, and asked They provided more high-quality mysterious beasts as soon as possible to prevent Xiao Shan from winning one after another.
After listening to the report from the head of the mysterious beast shop, Qing Zizhu frowned.
Providing high-quality mysterious beasts is not something that can be solved overnight, but if a suitable solution is not found in a short period of time according to the requirements of the Colosseum, I am afraid that the goodwill of Yanyue Chamber of Commerce will be greatly reduced.
Although Qing Zizhu is one of the "evil" generations of the empire, he doesn't possess the profound profound arts like the others. He is an authentic businessman, and he is always surrounded by a group of profound practitioners.
"Have you found the owner of the mysterious beast with unknown origin?" In the situation where the source of goods could not be found for the time being, Qing Zizhu thought of another solution, that is to find the owner of the mysterious beast and buy the mysterious beast in his hand at a high price. Or let him join Yanyue Chamber of Commerce directly.
