"Weapons and elixirs? Why don't you go to the merchant house to discuss it but come to my mansion instead?"
Xu Tianliu asked with a frown.
Although Xu Tianliu is the president and manager of the company, there are almost always dedicated people responsible for negotiating various business deals.
So he was full of doubts about why the young man came to him instead of going to the company to find the manager.
"Of course, this is because I hope that as few people as possible know about this!"
The young man smiled and explained.
"Could you please tell me your identity?"
Xu Tianliu looked at the young man steadily.
Although Xu's Trading Company cooperates with many forces, the trading company basically has a general understanding of these forces.
When dealing with forces whose details are unknown, the Xu family is usually very cautious.
They are also afraid that their efforts will be in vain.
"I pay the money, you deliver the goods? Why do you need to know so much?"
The young man didn't answer, but smiled.
"I don't do business with people I don't know the details of!"
Xu Tianliu said.
After saying this, he stood up and pretended to see the guest off.
"If you are unwilling to reveal your identity, then I, Xu Menglang, will not be able to do this business."
"It's okay to tell you, but if you know my identity, you have to do this business, otherwise..."
The young man looked at Xu Tianliu with a smile on his face.
This handsome man looks like a smiling tiger.
"Then please go ahead, sir! My Xu's Company may not have the honor to do this business!"
Since the other party doesn't reveal his identity, Xu Tianliu won't do this business with such a flattering face. Xu's company has not fallen to this point!
“What a pity!”
The young man stood up with a look of regret.
Under Xu Tianliu's gaze, he slowly walked towards the door.
"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot about this!"
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xu Tianliu.
"My elders said that if Xu's Company doesn't do this business, then your company's goods will never pass through the wasteland again!"
"Assholes, you're threatening me!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Xu Tianliu's face immediately turned gloomy, and his aura rose involuntarily.
"No, no, no, this is not a threat. This is just part of the business. As long as Xu's Company accepts this deal, I can guarantee that you will have smooth sailing in the Mobei Wasteland, and I guarantee that no one will dare to touch your goods!"
The young man didn't care about Xu Tianliu's anger at all, but explained softly.
"Haha... I want to see what you can do to touch our goods!
No matter who you are, even if you are from one of the four major sects, as long as you touch our goods, I guarantee that you will be skinned alive!"
Xu Tianliu laughed out of anger.
"Tsk... Let's wait and see!"
…
"If we were to say what major event has happened in the Mobei martial arts world in the past few days, it would definitely be the return of the Blood Blade Sect, which had been wiped out for many years.
In just one day, the resources of no less than ten cities including the Shahai Sect, Kuidi Sect, and Vajra Temple were robbed by the Blood Knife Sect.
Moreover, the Blood Knife Sect also vowed to take back everything that was lost a hundred years ago.
Nowadays, the Blood Knife Sect has become the talk of the town!
It is just like the saying "One hundred years of dormancy hides fame, one day of rise the world knows it!"
… ”
An old storyteller sat on the stage, and his passionate voice reached everyone's ears.
Hearing the storyteller's words, Yan Xiong couldn't help but frown.
In recent days, the storytellers in Sand City inexplicably started talking about what happened in the Blood Knife Sect in the past few days.
The incident happened suddenly, so Yan Xiong naturally suspected that someone was behind it, so he asked Asan to send someone to investigate. The result was not surprising, someone was indeed deliberately spreading the news.
These storytellers all received money from a masked man, so they told this joke so loudly.
"Boss, do you want to order these storytellers to stop talking nonsense?"
Ah San was right next to Yan Xiong. Being good at observing people's expressions, he saw Yan Xiong frowning and made a suggestion.
"No, it's none of our business, let them talk.
Just tell the guards to be more careful and report immediately if they see anyone suspicious entering the city."
Yan Xiong waved his hand and rejected Asan's proposal.
Just like the storyteller said, the Blood Knife Sect has been very arrogant recently. In just a few days, they have plunged the entire Mobei city into chaos. It can be said that they are very powerful.
Judging from the jokes told by these storytellers, they are basically praising the Blood Knife Sect for being so powerful. It is obvious that this is the Blood Knife Sect's masterpiece.
Yan Xiong didn't want to provoke them.
Therefore, it is better to let these storytellers tell the stories as they wish.
"Boss Yan, the mutton you ordered is here!"
The old shopkeeper in brocade clothes brought the mutton up personally.
"Old Liu, your business is getting more and more prosperous! Not only has the store expanded, you hired servants, and you can even hire storytellers!"
Asan took the mutton and said with a smile.
"Thanks to the boss's care, my business is so prosperous. I am very grateful. In the future, if the boss and Master Ah San want to eat the mutton I cook, please send someone to let me know. I will cook it myself and send it to you."
The old shopkeeper was none other than Old Man Liu, whose daughter had been robbed by Huang Song.
Ever since the last ceremony, Yan Xiong felt that he must have a few maids around him for convenience.
So he let Liu Cuilian become his maid.
Yan Xiong proposed that his daughter be a maid, and Old Man Liu was naturally very willing.
Yan Xiong not only saved his daughter's life, but he was also young, handsome, and extremely skilled in martial arts. He also led a gang. He was definitely a tall, rich, and handsome man.
Moreover, Yan Xiong is not a person who exploits the people like Huang Song.
On the contrary, after he took charge of Sand City, not only did he not allow his subordinates to collect monthly wages at random, he also made rules that prohibited killing, robbery and stealing in the city, which were for the benefit of the people.
It is also because there is no such thing as a government in this world, otherwise Yan Xiong would definitely be called a "good official who serves the country and the people."
So, when Yan Xiong proposed that his daughter Liu Cuilian be his maid, he immediately agreed.
He even hoped that Yan Xiong would fall in love with his daughter. In that case, maybe she would have the chance to become the gang leader's wife in the future.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
Yanxiong had no interest in his daughter at all.
The main reason why he let her be his maid was simply because of her clean background.
Because his daughter was Yan Xiong's maid, and Yan Xiong would occasionally come to his restaurant for a meal, his restaurant became more prosperous.
In just over a month, Old Man Liu expanded his shop and recently hired a waiter and a chef.
It looks like his career is thriving.
"Since you know the kindness the gang leader has shown you, then you should remember this and pay attention to the discussions of those people in the store at any time. If you have any important information, come to me directly!"
Ah San had an expression that said, since you know the favor, you should repay it.
However, he did not ask Old Man Liu to do anything dangerous. He just asked him to keep an eye on the news of some people in the underworld.
"Of course, of course. If I find anything, I will inform you immediately!"
Old man Liu nodded quickly.
"Okay, go do your thing. Have someone bring up a jar of wine."
Yan Xiong waved his hand, signaling him to go and get busy.
After he left, Yan Xiong and Asan started to eat.
Because he came out for a stroll today purely on a whim, he did not disguise himself today. He was still dressed in his usual cloak and gorgeous clothes as he did in the gang.
As the leader of the Tianxiahui, perhaps no one in other cities would know Yan Xiong, but in Shacheng, his face basically needs no introduction and many people know him.
So, when he sat here, the guests around him left in a hurry, for fear of accidentally offending him.
However, not everyone left.
Most of the wandering warriors carrying swords continued to eat and drink.
What is the purpose of venturing into the world
It's all for money, power, and eating and drinking. Freedom is the ultimate ideal of these wanderers.
Most of the independent wanderers who don't join gangs are idealists of this kind, so in their eyes, Yan Xiong is just a more powerful person.
Although this person can kill them instantly.
However, although they pursue that kind of realm, it does not mean that they are brainless.
They still knew that they could not offend Yan Xiong, so basically no one looked at Yan Xiong.
Even if he looked at her, he would just glance at her and then look away.
Not only that, they also spoke much more quietly.
"Sir, this is the wine you ordered!"
A servant came over with wine, placed it on Yan Xiong's table, and spoke.
"Yeah!" Yan Xiong nodded.
He took the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for himself and Ah San.
After taking a sip, the spicy taste lingers in your mouth.
The reason why Yan Xiong often comes to Old Man Liu's place to eat and drink is not only because the mutton in his place is really delicious.
This wine was also one of the reasons why he came.
I don't know where this old man Liu got the recipe from, but the wine he brews is much better than the wine from other places in Shacheng.
"How is the matter going with asking you to find Old Man Liu and buy his wine recipe?"
After drinking a bowl, Yan Xiong asked.
Martial artists in the martial arts world love to drink, so alcohol is also a good opportunity to make money.
Yan Xiong knew that Old Man Liu's wine was good, and for the sake of Tianxiahui's finances, he naturally wanted to get the recipe for the wine.
However, he disdained to rob, so he asked Ah San to ask Old Man Liu if he wanted to sell the wine recipe.
"Reporting to the gang leader, it has been purchased. The gang's winery is brewing it according to this method, and the finished product should be available soon."
Ah San was eating, and upon hearing this he immediately put down his chopsticks and replied.
"Brew more. Once brewing is complete, no foreign wine will be sold in Sand City. I want Sand City to only sell our wine!"
What kind of business is the most profitable
That is naturally a monopoly.
As the controller of a city, how can you make money if you don’t monopolize it!
Yan Xiong's plan was to monopolize not only wine, but also salt and even grain.
This will not only increase the gang's income, but also allow him to control Sand City to a greater extent.
"I know, but this may take some time!"
Yan Xiong had told Asan about these things, so he was not surprised.
"It does take time, but we have to do it as soon as possible. I have a feeling that Mobei will soon be in chaos. That will be our chance! So, we must lay a solid foundation now."
Yan Xiong said in a deep voice.
Now the Blood Knife Sect has basically surfaced.
And judging from the way they robbed the three major sects of their resources, they might already be ready to restore their sect.
They want to restore the monarchy, but the three major sects will naturally not agree, and a battle sweeping across Mobei will definitely happen.
And this is naturally the time for Tianxia to take advantage of the situation.
Originally, after Yan Xiong heard the news about the Blood Knife Sect's presence, he planned to contact them as soon as possible.
But after thinking about it, he decided to hold off for the time being.
The current Tianxiahui was too weak, and they had just unified Sand City, so their foundation was too poor! They simply could not withstand the consumption of a war.
Moreover, when a war breaks out, food and even weapons and elixirs are necessary.
There aren't many reserves in Sand City right now.
Fortunately, he has already contacted Xu's Trading Company and plans to buy more of these things from them.
As long as the stuff arrives, and I train the gang members for a while, it should be enough to take over another city.
…
Nearing evening, Yan Xiong returned to the headquarters and practiced martial arts in the courtyard for a while.
Although he can improve his martial arts as long as he reaches a certain level of role-playing.
But he still practices familiarity from time to time.
This long period of familiarization practice can allow him to attack more freely when fighting with others.
After practicing several sets of martial arts three times each, Yan Xiong took a bowl of tea from Cui Lian who was standing beside him and drank it without blushing or breathing hard.
After drinking his tea, he immersed his mind in the panel.
Role Playing System
Host: Yan Xiong
The only character played: Xiong Ba
Role Playing Progress: 24%
Realm: Eighth Grade
Heart Method: Three-point Return to Origin (Eighth Level)
Martial arts: Heavenly Frost Fist (eighth rank), Paiyun Palm (eighth rank), Wind God Leg (eighth rank), Three-Point Divine Finger (eighth rank)
During this period, he has been in a high position and his performance progress has increased by 1%.
The other 3% was obtained after he founded the Feiyunyun Hall.
As for the other two halls in Xiongba Tianxiahui, Kamikaze Hall and Tianshuang Hall, although they were established, they did not increase his role-playing progress.
Yan Xiong thought that it was because the masters of these two halls were not subordinate to Nie Feng and Qin Shuang.
4% role-playing progress increase, although no visible changes are seen on the panel.
But Yan Xiong knew that he was much stronger than when he was at 20%.
If he could fight against a late eighth-grade being with his martial arts ability 20% of the time, now he can fight against a peak eighth-grade being without being defeated.
However, Yan Xiong was a little confused.
He only has 24% of the role-playing progress, but he can fight against a peak eighth-grade being.
Combined with the 15% chance, he can defeat the peak ninth level.
He guessed that when his role-playing progress reached 25%, he might be able to defeat the peak of the eighth level.
In this case, does it mean that when his role-playing progress reaches 27%, he can be comparable to an early seventh-grade being, and at 29%, he can be comparable to a middle seventh-grade being
Does this mean that he can ignore the rule that one cannot surpass one’s rank
However, all of this is just speculation. Yan Xiong has not experimented with it, so we have to wait until we try it to know the truth.
"Boss, Chief Butler Ah San wants to see you!"
Yan Xiong was lost in thought when Cui Lian suddenly interrupted him.
"Let him in!"
Yan Xiong shook off his thoughts, sat down at the stone table, and waited for Asan to come in.
"Boss!"
Ah San came closer with a piece of paper.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Xiong asked.
"Our spy sent a message saying that there are many strangers around Sand City recently, and they seem to be looking for something!"
Asan handed the note to Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong took a look at it, put it down and began to ponder.
"According to the intelligence, these people would dig up the empty space in the wasteland! This means that the thing is buried underground!
Are there any rumors of treasure near Sand City?"
From this information, Yan Xiong's first thought was that these people must have obtained some treasure map, and their target was under the wasteland, so they started digging.
"There has never been any news or rumors of treasure in Sand City!"
Ah San shook his head and said.
"Haha, let them dig, don't alarm them, but send more people to keep an eye on it. No matter what they are looking for, in our Sand City, it belongs to us, and no outsiders are allowed to take it away!"
Yan Xiong pinched the note and said with a smile.
"yes… "
Asan took the order and left.
at the same time.
In the Chu Mansion in Fancheng, Chu Xiaoyu, who was leaning against two maids and eating fruit, suddenly sat up straight.
"Found it?"
"Sir, we found it. It's ten miles outside the east gate of Sand City. We dug it out!"
The man with an ordinary face took out a small stone with silver streaks from his sleeve.
Chu Xiaoyu asked the maid to take the stone.
"It is indeed the characteristic of the rocks at the corners of the silver mine! Send more people over there to surround that place and quickly detect the size of this vein!"
Chu Xiaoyu took a look, gripped the stone tightly, and gave instructions.
After a pause, he continued:
"You lead the people there in person. If anyone tries to spy on you, kill them immediately!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Upon hearing this, the man with an ordinary face immediately responded, bowed, and walked out.
"Haha! God is really helping our Chu family. As long as this mineral vein is handed over to my brother-in-law, my eldest sister's status will surely rise greatly. With her in the Shahai Sect, my Chu family will definitely have a bright future!"
After the man left, Chu Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha! Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir!"
"Sir, I am in a good mood today. Would you like me to serve you..."
The two maids laughed sweetly.
"Haha... I'm happy today, so I'll fulfill your wish..."
…
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Suddenly, a figure opened the door and walked out of Chu Xiaoyu's room.
She walked carefully along the way, as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone.
After passing through several courtyards, she came to a room.
Da da da!
"Who?" As soon as the knock on the door was heard, an old voice responded from inside the room.
"Mr. Xu, I'm Xiaohong!"
The figure outside the door spoke.
It's a woman.
This woman was one of Chu Xiaoyu's two maids.
Gurgle!
The door was opened.
Under the moonlight, an old figure appeared in Xiaohong's eyes.
"Xu... Old Xu, I have information!"
Xiaohong said timidly.
"Come in and talk!"
The old figure called Mr. Xu looked around and spoke only after noticing that there was no one else around.
"Xu... Old Master, the young master met with someone today, and they said... they said they found a mineral vein ten miles outside the east gate of Sand City!"
Xiaohong looked nervous and spoke hesitantly.
"What?" Mr. Xu suddenly grabbed Xiaohong's hand, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's true, it's true, Mr. Xu, I've given you the information, can you please let my brother go!"
Xiaohong's arm was hurt by Mr. Xu's grab, but she didn't dare to resist. Instead, she said this.
"Okay, okay, if this is true, I will have your brother released, and I can even let you and your brother run away!"
Elder Xu's eyes were full of joy. Then, he looked at Xiao Hong, and his joy suddenly turned into coldness. "But if you lie, then you will never see your brother again!"
"No, I'm not lying, it's true!"
Xiaohong said hurriedly.
PS:
A character appears in this chapter.
Book exchange friend—an ordinary man.
This character has appeared before, and originally he was intended to be a minor character, and no name was planned for him.
But the plot has developed to this point and a role is needed, so he was brought up from the supporting role that disappeared in one chapter.
After looking at the name of the book friend Huantie, the first feature of the name that comes to my mind is face-changing, a skill that has nothing to do with it. Therefore, the characteristic of this character is that he is a master of disguise.
That's why I call him an ordinary man.
Of course, he has a name, but he hasn't thought of it yet. If fellow book friends see it, they can also suggest one here.
In addition, sginbgj Tang Chen's role may change. He was originally designed to be an assassin in Qishalou, but now there are changes. Qishalou will not appear in this part of the plot, so your character may have to be postponed.
