Shuangqi Town, which is rumored to have been founded for hundreds of years, is similar to the time when the Great Jin Dynasty was founded.

The two major forces that created this town were the Tie and Zhao families.

Today's Shuangqi Town, there is also a third-party force - Zhenxi Wangfu.

not only made Shuangqi Town more prosperous, but also came from behind, pressing two families and one head.

On the bright side, although they are not in the same situation, they are also competing with each other.

The three of them are in charge of everything in town.

If you want to make a living here, no matter who you are, you can't get out of the sphere of influence of the three families.

It is said that there were also forces that wanted to get a piece of the pie, but without exception, it was like a stone thrown into the sea, at most it set off a small wave, and finally disappeared.

The most obvious thing is that the sand thieves who are elusive in the desert have attacked Shuangqi Town many times for hundreds of years, but they have all returned in vain.

Even, under the suppression and intentional targeting of the three families, the vitality has been seriously damaged many times, and it has not been able to become a climate so far.

But the sand thieves are like mustard diseases, and they are repeatedly banned, and they will recur soon after each time.

It is even rumored that the sand pirates are likely to cooperate with one of the three, and may even be supported by them.

As for what purpose, it is not known!

The Tie family is in charge of more than seventy percent of the weapons trading in Shuangqi Town, as well as some groceries.

The Zhao family is in charge of more than seventy percent of the medicine stone trading and part of the grocery business.

And the Zhenxi Wangfu swallowed the rest of the business alive, and almost all the buying and selling were mixed in.

The reason why it is like this is not only because the Tie family and the Zhao family have deep roots here, but most of the people in the town are outlaws.

Or rather, the descendants of the outlaws.

These people are in conflict with the court in their bones.

If it weren't for the power of the Zhenxi Palace, it is rumored that there is a congenital grandmaster in charge, and the business of the palace would have been smashed a long time ago.

And the imperial army could not cross the desert, and the supply line was extremely long, occupying this barren land.

Coupled with the rejection of these people, even the Zhenxi Palace, which is backed by the imperial court, cannot become the true master of Shuangqi Town.

Overall, the seemingly distinct tripartite forces are actually quite complex.

Some people can't survive and want to get out of this place where ordinary people can't survive, so they may secretly take refuge in Zhenxi Wangfu.

Hopefully, one day, I will be able to get a new identity.

After all, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back to a big tree.

And the people who have long been rooted here are extremely repulsive to the Zhenxi Palace, and they are always on guard, even if they are desperate, they will be strictly examined and tested.

No one can guarantee that there will be no secret agents from Zhenxi Wangfu inside.

They are reluctant to inherit the foundation established by their ancestors, reluctant to bear the wealth accumulated here, and although they can live again in another place, it will take years to reintegrate.

After all, not every place can accept them.

It's not just the xenophobic instinct in human nature, it's more because of the allocation of resources.

No one would want outsiders to come and snatch the resources that have been allocated from them, just as the two families have already formed an alliance to resist the Zhenxi Palace.

......

Come to the largest inn and restaurant in the town - Donglai Guest Residence.

Lu Chuan sat alone by the window, tasting the unique blood wine in the desert, as well as the meat of different beasts, and sighed in his heart.

This meal alone costs a hundred taels of gold, which is simply not something ordinary people can afford.

Even when he traveled west for several months, he destroyed more than a dozen bands of robbers, and killed many corrupt officials and wealthy and powerful people who were unkind to the rich.

This level of consumption is still a bit high!

Of course, it is also because the things that Lu Chuan ordered are the best ingredients and drinks in the restaurant.

He doesn't care about money, and he doesn't care whether it's expensive or not.

If there are conditions, of course he doesn't mind and enjoys life.

After the careful preparation of a chef with superb skills, whether it is a meat dish or this precious blood wine, he can feel the subtle help of a person like him, who is almost on one foot, and has stepped into the top of the first product with both internal and external cultivation.

It's just a hint, but it's amazing enough!

It's just that now he still hasn't completely gotten rid of his demons.

But in general, the idea has been clarified, and it will no longer be like before, and the mind will be trapped by the demons.

As long as he fully understands the previous changes, it is the moment when he sublimates himself, almost reborn, and breaks out of the cocoon into a butterfly.

Pedal!

At this moment, a slightly hurried footsteps came, and they walked straight towards Lu Chuan.

"Guest officer, there is a guest who said he wanted to see you, I wonder if you will see you or not?"

The young man dressed as Xiao Er was a little cramped, his speech was quite fast, and his eyes were full of worry and nervousness that could not be concealed, and even his hands were clenched into fists.

Because he knows that the guests who can come to the fifth floor to dine must be a combination of rich and noble.

Even in Shuangqi Town, the descendants of the three families are not qualified to come here.

Not to mention, Lu Chuan also ordered the exotic beast ingredients and blood wine cooked by the chef of Donglaiju himself.

This is also the rule set by the Zhenxi Palace, even the children of the Zhu family must abide by it, just to distinguish ordinary people from distinguished guests.

And it was not easy for him to get this job.

It stands to reason that he would not do this, lest he lose his job or even be punished.

But the benefits given by the other party are really impossible to refuse.

Therefore, I can only bite the bullet.

And that person, in his eyes, was already unattainable, but he was not qualified to come to the fifth floor for dinner.

The magnitude of the gap is obvious.

"What's your name?"

Lu Chuan didn't raise his head.

"My name is Pei Sheng!"

Xiao Er's temples were dripping with cold sweat, and his waist bent down involuntarily.

The invisible pressure is too great.

He, a martial artist who had just entered the product, was almost unbearable, and this was because Lu Chuan did not release his breath, it was just a natural coercion.

"Huh!"

Lu Chuan suddenly smiled, grabbed the counter a few feet away, and with a soft snap, the wine cup fell into the palm of his hand, poured it full at will, and pushed his index finger and middle finger together and pushed it to the edge of the table.

"Drink it!"

The amber liquor, which seems to have a faint layer of blood-colored light, is one of the origins of the name of blood wine.

And its main material is the blood of foreign beasts and even rare beasts.

It's just that even in the Dusk Desert, where murderous creatures are everywhere, rare beasts are extremely rare, and this is brewed by the blood of top-level foreign beasts.

"Hiss......"

Pei Sheng shuddered, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his trembling left hand.

He knew that if he didn't drink it, he would die, and if he drank it, he would probably die.

"Your Excellency!"

The sturdy fifth-floor shopkeeper, I don't know when he came to the front, his fierce and rugged face was full of humility, and he bent down deeply and said, "He's still a child, I don't know for a while, you ......"

Soon, he couldn't talk anymore.

Although the terrifying coercion came and went faster, it made his mind like a flat boat in the stormy seas.

This is a terrifying existence that can crush him at will.

Goo!

Pei Sheng gritted his teeth, raised his neck and drank it, and before he could put down the wine cup, he fell to the ground and screamed.

"Ah......h

In an instant, his face was red and his neck was thick, his muscles were bruised, his face was distorted, and he was obviously in unimaginable pain.

And that's exactly what happened.

The blood of the top beasts, combined with a variety of precious medicinal materials, is brewed into a blood wine, and its medicinal power is as strong as an elixir.

Although it's just a glass of wine, it's enough to support the explosion, a little nine-rank martial artist.

The screams continued for half an hour, resounding throughout the fifth floor.

As for the visitors, there are only the sturdy shopkeeper who has been bending over, and Lu Chuan, who is tasting the dishes, his face is indifferent, and he doesn't even blink his eyelids.

Burst!

A wisp of invisible wind hit Pei Sheng's chest, and he immediately suppressed all the medicinal power.

Even so, the purple complexion still has no green tendons, which is enough to show that he has not eased up.

"Multi-...... Thank you for your forgiveness......"

Pei Sheng gritted his teeth, as if he was unyielding, but also resentful, and even humiliated.

But he knows that in the face of an existence like Lu Chuan, no matter what he thinks, he must bury it deep in his heart.

Otherwise, no one can save him.

The owner of Donglaiju will not anger such an existence for the sake of a small housekeeper, especially if this little guy has broken the rules first.

"Remember, never hope in the kindness of others!"

Lu Chuan said lightly.

Pei Sheng pursed his lips, he didn't know what to say, but his figure suddenly flashed, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Boom!"

The sturdy shopkeeper kicked on Pei Sheng's knee, and said with a smile on his face, "Don't blame me, my lord, this kid is a stubborn donkey, but he doesn't have a bad temperament, can you mention him a word or two, it is an inexhaustible blessing for his life!"

Hearing this, Pei Sheng didn't understand anything, and immediately said respectfully: "Thank you for your magnanimity, the kid must remember it!"

Lu Chuan waved his hand.

"What are you doing stupidly, why don't you get out of here?"

The sturdy shopkeeper grabbed the back of Pei Sheng's neck, nodded at Lu Chuan, and walked towards the stairs with him, muttering in a low voice, "You stinky boy, you are really going to be killed by you, thanks to this adult's magnanimity, otherwise you want to get out alive today!"

Remember, during the time this lord lives with us, you will be careful.

Something went wrong, watch your skin!"

"Huh!"

Lu Chuan shook his head, not caring about the shopkeeper's care.

A second-rank martial artist, if he really wants to tell something, how can he say it like this, instead of using sound transmission to enter the secret?

To put it bluntly, it means that it is for him to listen, and it is also a little clever.

As long as Lu Chuan lives in Donglai for a day, Pei Sheng will belong to him, whether there is a leak of benefits between his fingers or a direct killing, it will follow Lu Chuan's wishes.

This sturdy shopkeeper is also a good person, and he sees the deep meaning of that glass of wine.

A fair shake!

Pei Sheng accepts the benefits of others and speaks for others, this is a transaction.

But Lu Chuan was eating, and he ran over to disturb him for no reason, not to mention the rules of the restaurant, but also disturbed the interest of the guests, which was very inappropriate.

That glass of wine is a punishment, a reward, and an attitude.

After this incident, Donglaiju will not punish Pei Sheng again, let alone have such inconsequential things to disturb Lu Chuan.

Otherwise, where is the majesty of the strong?

Being approachable is Lu Chuan's way of life, but it doesn't mean that everyone can trample on it at will.

punished Pei Sheng, and also gave benefits.

It's because this young man's heart is very good!
