Chapter 1288: Judgment
The arrival of the Western Union mission was also a sensational event for the entire southern border.
Although many ordinary people may not have heard of this organization at all, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the princes and uncles who have a little knowledge.
Even if their understanding of the Western Union is almost blank, they only know that this is an emerging force across the west and north, but who wouldn't follow the trend, seeing that those big chambers of commerce are beginning to prepare in full swing, the princes can't help but be very interested.
The Great Chamber of Commerce travels between the north and the south, and knows more things than ordinary people, but it is also the first time that they have formal contact with the Western Union, and before that, their cooperation objects are mainly Huayun Valley and the six major families, especially the Hai family.
And most of their understanding of Western Union comes from these old big forces in the north, but the latter's evaluation of Western Union shows an absurd polarization trend.
Because with the rise of the Western Union, even if Gong Ningshui and Nirabe and others manage it carefully, they will inevitably have conflicts with some big sects and big families. For example, although Huayun Valley is extremely confident in its own heritage, and does not disdain to imitate the business methods of Western Union, but after Western Union gradually grows, many Huayun Valley elders are very jealous, some advocate cooperation with Western Union, and some advocate annexation and elimination.
In this regard, the strategy discussed by the senior management of Western Union is to unite Huayungu in the short term and suppress the Haijia. After all, Fuyaoxing had completely collapsed that time, and the Hai family had a clear attitude, that is, to collapse the Western Union and dominate the Western Passage. But Huayun Valley is a sect and not a family after all, and due to its different nature, there is no fierce conflict of interest with Western Union for the time being, and there is still room for mitigation.
So after several negotiations, Huayungu maintained an attitude of watching from the wall, and turned a cold eye to the various open and secret battles between the Western Union and the Hai family.
Although the Hai family was also a "close partner" of Huayun Valley, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. Hanging the Hai family in a situation where they can't go up or down, whether Hua Yungu wants to help the Western Union bring them down, or extends a helping hand to the Hai family at a critical moment, the benefits he gets are much greater than the original situation.
Of course, Western Union also knows that Huayun Valley is unreliable, and they will turn their faces anytime and anywhere, but they are now just barely squeezing into the category of first-class big forces in terms of economic strength, but in terms of force, they are not allowed to confront two old forces at the same time, and the crazy suppression of the Hai family alone has already put Western Union in a difficult situation, so it has become very important to find a way to survive from the south.
Of course, these insider stories, Nirabe will definitely not let the Southern Chamber of Commerce know, otherwise these guys will put on a high posture one by one and wait for the price to sell, then the cooperation will not be able to maintain an equal status from the beginning.
Before he came to the south, he first learned about the views of those chambers of commerce on Western Union, and found that some of them thought that Western Union was a very potential object of cooperation, but some people thought that Western Union had an unstable foundation and was in danger of overturning at any time, so it was not suitable for in-depth cooperation, and it would offend the Hai family.
The latter view is very normal, and Nirabe is more pleased that half of the chambers of commerce are still willing to contact the Western Union, after all, the Hai family is a big force in the north, and it can't be so wide. If Western Union can prove that it will bring far more benefits to these chambers of commerce in the future than the Hai family, then they will change their attitude in an instant.
In the case of great attention, the Western Union mission first settled in the southern phoenix star, and His Majesty the Southern King received them ceremoniously, I don't know what things were discussed, anyway, five days later, the mission took its leave and left, and sent a message to almost every prince in the south.
The twelve old gods were staying in their nests, waiting for the Western Union mission to come and visit, but those low-ranking liehous and Fang Bo couldn't sit still, and they took the initiative to send the reply to Nirabe's hands one by one, and the words were very polite, hoping to be familiar with each other in advance.
But soon, everyone's minds changed.
Because after the Western Union Mission left Nanhuangxing, the first stop it went to was actually Rui Fu Xing.
It is said that after Hai Minggong learned the news, he didn't do much, he just kicked and smashed his precious coral jade screen, overturned his 10,000-year-old ebony table, and then ordered the Western Union Mission to be blacklisted, and they were not allowed to step into the sea and sky star for half a step.
Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't believe that before the Western Union came here, they hadn't investigated the situation of the princes, for the hierarchical southern realm, the issue of reputation and order was more important than life, not to mention that the Western Union jumped directly to Rui Fu Xing, even if they crossed the Haiming Gong to find Shang Yungong, it would be a serious violation of the rules.
I'm afraid Western Union is not crazy...... This is everyone's first reaction.
Rui Yagong was also taken aback by this, although being able to rank in front of Hai Minggong made him inevitably feel dark, but he was more confused and vigilant.
But no matter what he thought about it, he still prepared the highest standard of hospitality, second only to greeting the other eleven Grand Dukes.
At the same time, Rui Yagong did not forget to send a large number of people to be optimistic about Shang Yuyu to prevent Tianshang Gong from taking advantage of the chaos to rob people. Before he replaced Fu Jirui back, he would definitely not leave any gaps, otherwise the situation would be passive.
After all these preparations were made, the Western Union mission also arrived at Ruifu Star one morning.
On the first day, as is customary, there is no serious business, and the people of the Grand Duke's Mansion are very enthusiastic to take Nirabe and others around the city of Daxiangcheng, the capital of Ruifu Star, and then enjoy a sumptuous luncheon, and after a few singing and dancing programs, the day is almost over.
Nirabe and other high-level officials of the Western Union were specially arranged in an elegant courtyard, if they did not ask to live together, otherwise a small courtyard for one person would be the minimum treatment.
If Western Union had visited in order, Rhea Gong would definitely not have made it so solemn, but Western Union showed unparalleled attention, and Rhea Gong had to repay the favor out of courtesy.
The other ordinary messengers lived in a dozen or so courtyards next to them, and no one noticed that the two figures left the room silently, disappearing into the deep night.
"Senior brother, you have also read the map of the Grand Duke's Mansion, shall we go to Xuanzhu and them first now?" Although Fang Zijin was shrouded by Yu Ling's hidden words, he still kept looking around, alerting the surrounding movements.
"It's not appropriate to meet with them first, wait until I confirm Fu Ping's identity. ”
Yu Ling didn't look like Fang Zijin was a thief, anyway, his soul power covered the surroundings at all times, and he could easily avoid all the eyeline.
There are not many patrol guards in the house, at least not to the point of five steps, one sentry, and ten steps and one post. After all, this is the Grand Duke's Mansion of Rhea, who dares to make trouble here when he is full, and the formation of the Grand Duke's Mansion is mainly to defend the outside, which is of little use to Yuling, who has already penetrated the inside.
"I don't think there are any other suspicious characters in the Grand Duke's Mansion. Fang Zijin said.
"Everything is just my speculation, and there are some things that don't make sense, so I have to confirm it with my own eyes to feel at ease. Yuling maintained her usual cautious attitude.
"Yes, we have already investigated, Fu Ping's residence is more partial, let's go around the pavilion further, turn left and walk five hundred meters, pass a garden, pass through it, turn right again, and then ......" Fang Zijin said very slowly.
"It's okay, I've memorized the route. ”
"Can't I repeat it again! I just want to emphasize that my road dementia has been cured, and I will never be a person with Senior Brother Nian again!" Fang Zijin said proudly.
“...... Is there anything to be proud of? Did you draw the route?"
“...... No. Fang Zijin was stunned for a second, and then he shook his spirits and said, "But I memorized it!"
"Oh. ”
"What's your attitude?"
Senior Brother Fang received 10,000 points of damage, Senior Brother Fang decided to find another way to prove himself, Senior Brother Fang spread out the map and prepared to find another shortcut...... A few minutes later, Senior Brother Fang found that he had arrived at his destination.
"Okay, how long have you been looking at that map, and you can still see that a flower is coming? Yu Ling directly snatched the map from his hand.
"Alas, why don't you give me a little more chance......" Fang Zijin looked at the map reluctantly.
"Psychopaths once felt that they had a great advantage. Yu Ling ruthlessly rejected him, then gathered all his breath and climbed over the wall to Fu Ping's courtyard.
There are also some middle- and lower-class guests living here, and Fu Ping is also named in the guest mansion, which is a rare genius among them, so Ruiya Gong gave him the surname Fu.
Whether this is the case or not is another story.
Yu Ling's soul power wandered around, and according to the information provided by Mei Rindong, he finally found the room where Fu Ping was. Although it was late at night, the young people in the room were still sitting on their knees, polishing every wisp of spiritual power, and acting harder than most of their peers.
This person's appearance conformed to Mei Rindong's description, but it did not match Lin Shu's description.
However, if he was really Jing Ping, he would have changed his appearance a long time ago, so his appearance is not important, what matters is his breath.
Yu Ling's gaze moved to a piece of jade pendant in the spirit ring, which was given to him by Lin Shu, it is said that Jing Ping wore it when he was a child, and he only needed to carefully compare the spiritual power breath inside to judge Fu Ping's true identity.
