I heard from Bai Lu Zong Heng's people that they were robbing materials, not materials for repairing ships in Beizhou. This material does not belong to Bai Lu Zong Heng, and the Yin family is not at the level of robbery. It came from outside, and they have not yet decided who to sell it to.
It was not a matter of money. He did not dare to offend either party, so he was in a dilemma. Pei Xiang saw that his son did not get along well with Yin Jiuxiao. Because of this matter, he did not even finish a few words and immediately started fighting. He was just caught by the people from Su Ye Xianshan.
Bai Lu Zongheng's men were not strong in martial arts, so naturally they could not defeat Yin Yaozhi and Yin Jiuxiao together. It was also at this time that Chu Wei met Yin Jiuxiao for the first time and saw clearly what kind of person he was.
Even though he was jealous, Chu Wei had to admit that Yin Jiuxiao was truly powerful. With his domineering manner, he didn't even dare to get close to him, let alone fight him head-on. In front of the huge spiritual energy, he simply couldn't contend with that aura.
Yin Jiuxiao should have seen him as well. From afar, Chu Wei seemed to see the contempt in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at himself in the air. He only glanced at him for a moment and then turned away. Then, during the fight, he separated a stream of spiritual power and sent it towards his face.
The sword energy was so fierce that Chu Wei almost failed to dodge it. It was his uncle, Elder Chu, who quickly stepped forward to block the attack for him. When he came to his senses, he was covered in cold sweat.
This person is indeed very arrogant and has almost no scruples.
But what if he can fight? Chu Wei was holding back his anger and thought, after causing such a big incident in Dongzhou, Pei Xiang still doesn't like him
In comparison, Bai Lu Zongheng's attitude towards these passers-by seemed very friendly. Chu Wei brought several types of products from the mine to show Pei Xiang. These were really good things, and these were just the tip of the iceberg in the mine. No wonder Chu Cang felt pain.
After some flattery, he saw that Pei Xiang was indeed satisfied.
However, this person has always been cunning. It is not realistic to ask him to stand on the side of Suyexian Mountain all the time. There are still many details to be finalized. It is impossible to determine in the short term, but having this trend is already good.
However, Chu Wei and Pei Xiang had a very pleasant chat during this period, but Yin Jiuxiao had never visited him. Or rather, he had sent several letters but was rejected by Pei Xiang and there was no more messages. Yin Jiuxiao simply stopped sending letters and focused on his own things. It seemed that he had been collecting materials for ship repair in Beizhou.
The two sides talked in depth, and Pei Xiang discussed the matter with Chu Wei.
"You have to help me when you come to Yexian Mountain, and this is also to help yourself," Pei Xiang said, "Just think about it, when those ships of his are repaired, our medicine shop will have no way to survive. Moreover, with more and more ships, the barrier of Beizhou is becoming less and less effective. Most of the people there are desperate criminals and very fierce. Yin Jiuxiao is a living example. Last time, the materials were snatched away alive by him. If it continues like this, then it will really be the Yin family's paradise in the future."
Chu Wei felt depressed and quickly responded, "Just tell me how you want me to help you."
"Now we must get some materials. Beizhou's current weakness is that many precious materials are missing. Last time, I was negligent and leaked the news in advance to let the Yin family know. But the materials for repairing the ship are only a small part. Beizhou's purchases from outside are also very large, from all aspects," Pei Xiang said, "Since we want to form an alliance, we should make a breakthrough from the weakest point. We can't let the Yin family expand like this, don't you think?"
Chu Wei and Elder Chu beside him looked at each other.
Pei Xiang's words made sense. Since they couldn't confront the Yin family head-on, they had to make things difficult for them in other ways.
Even though Bailu Zongheng has not yet become a real alliance, the benefits are mutual. It is reasonable to start with such small things at this time, and Chu Wei is even more eager to try.
The two men in the Shan clan acted very quickly, and they were so impatient to make the Yin family suffer a setback that they ordered Dan Da to go. Even Lin Qinghen in the Yin family quickly felt the disturbance.
The gap in materials in Beizhou is indeed huge, because there are too many things that need to be repaired. In addition, the connection between cities is getting closer and closer, so roads need to be built. Ordinary materials are easy to find, but materials with limited stock and limited production channels can only be purchased from outside.
Everything was going smoothly before, after all, Lin Qinghen and the Yin family were both rich, but suddenly many avenues were cut off.
In just the past few days, Lin Qinghen calculated that about one-third of the customers had been affected. The merchants there were unwilling to deliver the goods, and they hesitated when asked. Some people even said that it was difficult for them to do business. If Yin Jiuxiao angered Pei Xiang, they were just a small merchant and there was nothing they could do.
Lin Qinghen:? Not really
From his perspective, he always thought that Yin Jiuxiao should be doing well outside. He had sent him a batch of materials before, which was considered to be a solution to the urgent need. Now the fleet has been repaired. Because of the boundary wall, the communication tools are not available, and he can only let the passing ships send him letters every few days. Looking at the content of the letter, there is nothing wrong.
Yin Jiuxiao is not a reckless person. He would not let Pei Xiang become so angry in such a short period of time. He still knows his own people well.
Lin Qinghen thought about it and decided not to make a big deal out of this matter, meaning that he would take as much as he could. If he couldn't give, there was no need to embarrass others and he could just wait.
Especially after he knew that Yin Jiuxiao had taken a few people away on purpose, Lin Qinghen roughly guessed it.
"Don't worry, let's put it aside for a few days. There's no need to rush for a moment," Lin Qinghen said, "This matter won't last long."
He can just wait here.
Not long after he said this, something happened in Dongzhou.
It's not a bad thing, it's a very good thing.
That was the familiar glow of light in the sky, which was the sign of the beginning of the ruins. A lot of people saw it and it could not be concealed. Many people outside heard the news and started to move.
Chu Wei didn't expect to encounter something like this on his trip!
He could see clearly that the entrance to the ruins was just outside the city, and the location was quite tricky. It was not easy to get through. There were egrets all over the place, and although it couldn't stop anyone from coming in, as long as Pei Xiang didn't set up obstacles, most people would not be able to get through.
This time, I had the upper hand in the ruins, so most of the resources could be eaten by him. This was a pleasant surprise, and Suye Xianshan was finally lucky enough to return!
With the right time, right place and right people, Yin Jiuxiao will eventually lose to himself here!
Everything was still going smoothly. He discussed with Pei Xiang and did whatever the other party said. Even if there were occasional disagreements, he could adjust quickly. Chu Wei even felt that Pei Xiang was not as cunning as people said. However, he really didn't see any flaws. So far, Su Ye Xianshan has benefited from it. Even his uncle Chu Cang didn't say anything wrong.
On the day the ruins were opened, Chu Wei led a team with his uncle and went in first. Pei Xiang was willing to cooperate with him, but at this time he did not follow him in.
"My spirit essence is not of the combat type, so it will be useless if you go there," he said, "Young Master Chu, go ahead and explore without worry. I will take care of the outside world."
Chu Wei thought so too. Since both parties had reached this agreement, there would be no mistakes. Besides, there were so many people in Su Ye Xian Mountain, not just the two of them. There were many more outside. Even Chu Cang was eager to come over and take a look.
But when he disappeared in the glow, he felt that there was something strange in the look in Pei Xiang's eyes.
Pei Xiang always smiled like this, but his smile didn't reach his eyes, and it always looked a little fake. When the people from Suye Xianshan disappeared in front of him, Pei Xiang's fake smile also disappeared.
He took a few steps back, then quickly left the place, shook off the people, turned left and right, turned around and went to find someone in a small courtyard outside the city.
Yin Jiuxiao.
"What's the matter?" Yin Jiuxiao seemed to know that he was coming, and sat in the center of the yard and looked at him, "Is everything I said right?"
Indeed, the location and time of the relic's appearance were accurate to the minute, and Pei Xiang's preparations were very thorough. He initially wondered how anyone could have predicted this, but the facts were before him.
Pei Xiang took a breath and said nothing for a moment. He sat down opposite him and remained silent for a while before speaking.
"The Chu family has gone in," Pei Xiang said, "I should start cleaning up the mess."
Of course, the matter of the ruins was not the reason why Pei Xiang and the Yin family were acting out this drama together.
All these things were naturally fake. There was no need for Pei Xiang and Yin Jiuxiao to make such a fuss. They were all smart people and would never act on impulse. They were just putting on a show for Su Ye Xian Shan.
This was the second thing Yin Jiuxiao said that day.
Now that he was in Dongzhou, he would solve all the problems together and ask Pei Xiang to see if it was that easy to have the best of both worlds.
Chu Cang's ambitions are huge. In addition to wanting to win over the aristocratic families, he also has no intention of letting go of the other two mountains.
However, most of the people in power in Fuxin Miaofa are alchemists and weapon refiners, who are too professional. Even if he is given ten years, he will not be able to make real infiltration. But Bailu Zongheng does not have this obstacle.
According to the memories of his previous life, Yin Jiuxiao knew that Suye Xianshan had already planted people in Bailu Zongheng for a long time, and some of them had already climbed to confidential positions.
In his previous life, when the status of Su Ye Xianshan had risen to a certain level, he began to mobilize this power, causing Pei Xiang to bleed heavily at that time and almost be sidelined. Naturally, Bai Lu Zongheng was also greatly affected.
It’s not too late to realize all this at this point in time.
For a person like Pei Xiang, he would never allow such a thing to exist. But Yin Jiuxiao said so, and he couldn't believe it at the first sight. So he accepted the proposal after thinking about it. On the contrary, he had no loss. It was just a try. If nothing came out, it would be a good thing.
But the result of the test really scared him.
Because of the matter of blocking the Yin family's materials, a large number of business resources and connections need to be mobilized. Su Ye Xianshan is anxious and can't wait to see the results, so the actions have become bigger.
Pei Xiang discovered at this time that many people in the business circle received the news too quickly. They obviously relaxed their vigilance and did not hide their cooperation with Su Ye Xian Shan. They even took the opportunity to speak well of Su Ye Xian Shan in front of him intentionally or unintentionally. However, for Pei Xiang who was keeping a close eye on them, this was very terrifying.
In particular, he made close observations of the several important people mentioned by Yin Jiuxiao. There were many people he trusted very much among them. Some of them had been in Bailu Zongheng for almost twenty years. The clue of Chu Cang was really long. Pei Xiang even deliberately held the opposite opinion to the traceability of Yexianshan on some details to see which side he was biased towards.
After some probing, the facts became more and more obvious. Pei Xiang had a lot of evidence and was ready to clean up the mess.
Now there is one last thing.
Yin Jiuxiao said that he could come up with something more powerful than that vein of minerals.
