The sun is shining brightly.
Outside the east gate of Shacheng.
The hot wind brought a stuffy heat that made people feel very uncomfortable.
As the city gate slowly opened.
Yan Xiong led his men and escorted Xuantian and the other two to meet the Chu family on the opposite side.
Looking around, I saw that the Chu family had indeed brought a large amount of supplies and some boxes that looked like they were filled with silver.
However, whether it is a fraud or not can only be known after investigation.
"The people are here, we can trade now!"
Coming closer, Yan Xiong looked at a handsome young man in the crowd.
This man's dress was very different from everyone else.
Everyone else was dressed in formal attire, but he was dressed like a scholar.
Yan Xiong also knew about the Chu family's affairs.
So, he knew it at the first moment.
This person should be the legendary second son of the Chu family, Chu Xiaoyu, who is "born with intelligence and wisdom".
Looking at his flashing eyes, he really does seem to be an extremely intelligent person.
Yan Xiong was looking at Chu Xiaoyu, and Chu Xiaoyu was naturally also looking at Yan Xiong.
Unlike Yan Xiong who didn't care much about him, he felt overwhelmed when he saw Yan Xiong.
As a person who has practiced the Tianji Pavilion's unique skill, Tianji Ce.
Although he only learned human strategy.
But he still had some knowledge about physiognomy.
In the eyes of others' support.
Yan Xiong has a full forehead, and there seems to be an invisible black abyss between his brows, and in the black abyss, colorful lights flash from time to time.
Chu Xiaoyu had heard about this peculiar facial features from his cheap master.
This is called a hidden dragon in the abyss.
The dragon lurks in the abyss, waiting for the day when it will soar out.
Judging from the colorful light that flashed from time to time in the black abyss, it proved that the dragon had awakened.
Looking throughout Mobei, Chu Xiaoyu had never seen anyone with this kind of facial features.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful about having a conflict with the Tianxia Society.
But things have already happened, and the Chu family will never give up the silver mine outside Sand City.
So, he had to bite the bullet and move on.
"Boss Yan! I've heard of your name for a long time!"
Chu Xiaoyu rode forward and saluted Yan Xiong with his fists clasped.
“Can I inspect the goods now?”
Yan Xiong glanced at him and asked.
"please!"
Chu Xiaoyu gestured.
Yan Xiong nodded and asked Niu Kui behind him to inspect the goods.
Niu Kui led his men forward to confirm the weapons and silver.
Inspecting the goods takes time. During this period, Chu Xiaoyu introduced someone to Yan Xiong.
This is an old man with a wine gourd hanging around his waist, from which he takes a sip from time to time.
This man has been hiding in the horse team, not caring about anything and drinking by himself.
It was not until Chu Xiaoyu introduced him to Yan Xiong that he came forward, blowing his beard.
"My name is Wu Qingfeng. You can call me Old Man Wu or Master Wu!"
He bowed to Yan Xiong with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
This man is very arrogant.
This was Yan Xiong’s first impression of him.
Yan Xiong always treats people like this in their own way. He looked at Niu Kui and others and bowed to him.
A feeling of looking down on you suddenly came over me.
"You kid, don't you know what respect is?"
Yan Xiong's action made Wu Qingfeng narrow his eyes. He put down the wine gourd and stared at Yan Xiong with dissatisfaction.
"Why did you bring him here? Do you want to rob someone?"
Yan Xiong did not answer him, but instead turned his gaze to Chu Xiaoyu.
Although this old man did not exude any aura, judging from his proud look, his strength should be quite strong.
Chu Xiaoyu brought a very powerful person with him, which forced Yan Xiong to think of the worst.
"Boss Yan has misunderstood. Master Wu is the forger of our Fancheng Forging Alliance. He has always been fair and just. I invited him here today just to be a witness for us!"
Chu Xiaoyu shook the paper fan and said apologetically.
After saying that, he whispered a few words to Wu Qingfeng.
I don't know what he said.
Wu Qingfeng nodded but didn't say anything else.
Yan Xiong smiled disdainfully.
He had heard of Wu Qingfeng from the Forging Alliance.
This is a nosy fool.
Rumor has it that Wu Qingfeng had three hobbies in his life. The first was wine, the second was forging, and the third was money.
This man likes to drink before forging weapons, and the wine he likes must be good wine.
Good wine is naturally expensive and requires a lot of money.
Therefore, in order to make money, he relied on his eighth-rank strength to seek justice for others everywhere.
Every time he upholds justice, he will receive a considerable sum of money.
Yan Xiong was very disdainful of Chu Xiaoyu's invitation of this person to be a witness.
He had no intention of taking action.
If he really wanted to take action, he would not be outmatched even if there were ten fake eighth-rank warriors like these who stayed by the fire every day.
"Boss, I've counted, and the number is correct."
At this time, Niu Kui came over.
Yan Xiong nodded and looked at Chu Xiaoyu.
"Mr. Chu, I am very happy to do this kind of business. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation again."
Yan Xiong's words made Chu Xiaoyu's face darken.
This is not a business at all.
This is clearly kidnapping and then paying a ransom.
From what Yan Xiong said, he hopes to come more often.
The amount just for one time was enough to make Chu Xiaoyu feel distressed. If it happened a few more times, even a wealthy family like the Chu family might not be able to afford it.
No wonder he looked unhappy.
"Boss Yan, you have already counted the money and goods, you can release the people now!"
He said with a dark face.
Yan Xiong smiled, stretched out his hand to signal behind him, and immediately someone brought Xuantian and the other two over.
"Young Master!"
Xuantian and the other two looked unhappy.
Chu Xiaoyu took a look at the two of them, and after seeing that they didn't have any missing limbs, he nodded and signaled his men to leave the area of money and goods.
Yan Xiong sent someone to take over the things.
"Mr. Chu, do you want to come to my Tianxia Club and have a seat?"
Looking at the goods and the carriages full of silver being escorted into the city, Yan Xiong looked at Chu Xiaoyu with a smile on his face.
"No need, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore!"
Chu Xiaoyu shook his head.
As he said this, he looked at Yan Xiong.
"Boss Yan, I have a piece of advice for you. This mineral vein outside of Sand City is not something you can handle. Take care of yourself!"
After saying this, he called everyone and rode his horse towards Fancheng.
"Niu Kui, send a few people to follow them. If they go back to Fancheng directly, that's fine. If not, report to me immediately."
Looking at the Chu family members walking away, Yan Xiong gave instructions.
He really didn't want to take action against the people from the Chu family.
However, this depends on whether the other party knows what's interesting.
If Chu Xiaoyu was a smart man, he should immediately lead his men out of the Sand City.
If he doesn't live up to his reputation, Yan Xiong doesn't mind keeping them in Sand City forever.
After returning to Sand City, Yan Xiong counted the amount of silver again, and only after confirming that it was correct did he have the silver deposited into the warehouse.
The Tianxiahui's treasury now has nearly 500,000 taels of silver.
This amount of money is enough for Tianxiahui to expand.
"Come here, send out a recruitment order. Anyone who joins our Tianxia Association can receive 500 taels of silver per month for ninth-rank warriors, and 50 taels of silver per month for ordinary warriors."
