After the feast, Wen Taishi returned to the living room and sat there drinking tea.

"What do you think of what Duan Wuxian said?"

Wen Taishi took a sip of the tea bowl, and then he asked softly.

He's not talking to himself, he's talking to someone else.

At this moment, an old man came out of the room, his hair was gray, his face was wrinkled, and he was very old.

"What Duan Wuxian said is true and false, but he said that the income of Flame City is not false. He has a grudge against the Zhao family, and he wants to use your hand to eradicate the Zhao family. ”

"Well, that's what he meant, and he can hide it from me?"

"Recently, I've made people pay attention to the movement over there, Flame City is indeed rich, and it will rise in the future, so we have to grasp it now. The old man said unhurriedly.

"I think so too, since Duan Wuxian is in a hurry to jump out and charge, then let him go. ”

Master Wen smiled.

"Qi Dahai may not be able to fully understand what you mean, some words should be said more clearly. ”

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to him. The people of the Taishi Mansion can only represent the Blue Wolf Empire, and I have already thought about the people who will act as thugs. ”

"Oh, who do you want to be the thug?"

"I'm going to let Yihexuan be this thug. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. ”

"The interests of Flame City are huge, and even if we pay a price, we must take it down. Duan Wuxian is not enough to make a big deal, we must give him some help, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

When the old man heard what the master said, he nodded.

The two ended their conversation, but it was not difficult to see from their conversation that they had already seen through the trick without a trace.

Because he didn't sleep all night, Duan Wuxian got up late in the morning.

"My lord, someone from outside has come to visit you. "The subordinates came over and told Duan Wuxian.

"Oh, I'm very secretive when I come to the emperor, who will come to visit me?"

Duan Wuxian was surprised, what was it to find himself?

"My lord, he said that he was the treasurer of the Summer Palace. ”

"Why is he? Then invite him in. ”

Yihexuan was not well-known in the entire Blue Wolf Empire, and only a small number of people knew about their existence.

However, it is precisely this part of the people who know about the Summer Palace that makes them even more terrifying.

Among these great families and martial arts masters, the Yihexuan is very well-known.

It has been around for hundreds of years, and it is mainly engaged in some private transactions, all of which are secret transactions.

Basically no one outside knows who the Xuan Lord is, they are well-organized, mysterious to the outside, and do not deal with ordinary martial artists.

Usually they don't seem to have a sense of existence, but there are a lot of big things that they do.

For example, who you want to kidnap, if you want to send some valuables to a distant place but you don't want others to know, or if you want to get rid of someone secretly.

As long as you can afford the price and they feel sure, they will definitely take it. As long as they take it, they will basically complete the task.

Usually they don't have much business, and the reasons they do are secret, and many people don't even know that they do it.

The men led a man about fifty years old into the room, and he saw Duan Wuxian with a smile on his face.

"I've seen the city lord Duan, when I was in the pottery, it's really presumptuous to come over and disturb today, and I ask the city lord to forgive me. ”

"Master Tao Xuan is polite, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

"Duan City Lord, first of all, I declare that I am not a Xuan Lord, and I am not worthy of being a Xuan Lord. I'm just a shopkeeper, and I'm usually in charge of some specific things. Someone told me you need some help, to do something, I'll come over to see if the Duan City Lord needs help. ”

Duan Wuxian was overjoyed when he heard this, this person's cultivation was unfathomable, and he couldn't see through him at all.

He is one of the people who know about the existence of the Summer Palace, he knows how terrible the Summer Palace is, and now it is definitely a good thing that the Summer Palace has come over to help him.

"Shopkeeper Tao, can I take the liberty of asking the person who told you, who is he?"

"I'm sorry, City Lord Duan. This involves trade secrets, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose them to you, so I ask City Lord Duan to forgive me. Tao Shi still had a smile on his face.

"Oh. I don't know how Shopkeeper Tao wants to help me?"

"I can provide you with three God Refining Realm masters and let them protect you closely. ”

"What about the pay?"

"Two hundred thousand gold coins a month for three people. ”

"Shopkeeper Tao, this price is a bit too high, I can't afford to invite you. Duan Wuxian was telling the truth, he really couldn't afford it.

"We can owe the debt first, after the Duan City Lord is done, are you still afraid that there will be no money to pay us?"

How can you owe a debt, and there is such a good thing? Duan Wuxian was secretly happy in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Tao, do you know what I'm going to do?"

"I don't care what you do, even if you let us kill the king of Zhennan, as long as we take it, we will definitely do it. ”

"Okay, shopkeeper Tao, refreshing. That's the deal, I'll leave in three days, and you can let them go to Fire City with me. ”

"That's not necessary, the day your Duan City Lord returns to Flame City, our people will arrive later. ”

"Well, that's it. ”

After Tao Shi left, Duan Wuxian fell into deep thought.

Who told him that he needed help? It was definitely not his son Duan Yi, it was impossible for him to find these people in Yihexuan.

Because the Yihexuan is too mysterious, it is a question whether the son can know that they exist.

Could it be Qi Dahai? It shouldn't be him, if he had done this, he would have revealed the news to himself yesterday.

If it weren't for him, could it be Master Wen?, but then Duan Wuxian shook his head again, there were many masters under Master Wen, he didn't need to find someone else's help.

After all, the money is in his interest, and he shouldn't do it.

I usually just want to find them, but I may not be able to find them. It was strange that he knew he needed a helper now.

These are the only three people who know about it.

Eliminate your son, exclude yourself, and you will be left with Master Wen and Qi Dahai. If it weren't for the two of them, then Yihexuan would be too terrifying, right?

Duan Wuxian went to the Taishi Mansion again, and he told Qi Dahai about this matter.

Qi Dahai was silent for a while before saying, "Brother Duan, I definitely didn't tell anyone about this, don't think about other things." You don't have to question the credibility of the Yihexuan, since this is the case, then cooperate with them. ”

At this time, Qi Dahai already knew who was looking for Yihexuan, but he didn't dare to say it.

Since he is looking for the Yihexuan, he must have his reasons. I can't ask or say it, I can only pretend not to know.

Duan Wuxian understood what was going on now, but he could only pretend not to know, and he decided to go back and make preparations first.

Duan Wuxian left the imperial capital and rushed to Flame City overnight.

A few days later, there was a big scandal in the imperial capital Taishi's Mansion, and there were two thieves in the Taishi's Mansion, and they actually stole Wentaishi's elixir.

After being discovered by Master Wen, he was beaten violently, if it wasn't for Master Wen remembering the old feelings, he would have killed the two of them.

In the end, Wen Taishi was merciful and expelled them from the Taishi's mansion, and the matter was over.

One of these two people is Qi Dahai, and the other is named Huang Xingchen.

The news came from the mouth of a guard in the Taishi Mansion, and the news was absolutely reliable.

And there were people who saw their injuries with their own eyes, and they admitted it themselves.

They have also stayed in the emperor for decades, and some people still know about them. Everyone was stunned when they heard the news, they dared to sneak in the Taishi's elixir?

Everyone thought it was incredible, but they didn't know what was wrong.

After Qi Dahai and Huang Xingchen were driven out of the imperial capital, they had nowhere else to go, so they went to Flame City. Defection Duan without a trace.

Two days after Duan Wuxian arrived home, three strangers came to the City Lord's Mansion.

Duan Wuxian knew that it was the people from the Summer Palace who had arrived, and he was in a very happy mood.

He entertained them warmly, and arranged a separate courtyard for them, and also arranged three maids to be responsible for their diet and daily life.

After another three or four days, Qi Dahai took Huang Xingchen and also came to the City Lord's Mansion.

The arrival of the two of them made Duan Wuxian more confident, after all, Qi Dahai was his own person.

Qi Dahai and Huang Xingchen were also arranged in a separate courtyard. Duan Wuxian met all their requirements, and was even more polite to them.

Duan Chun's IQ was seriously insufficient, and he told Yan Xue about the arrival of Qi Dahai and Huang Xingchen.

Yan Xue knew that the city master had made a move against the Zhao family, and the two God Refining Realm powerhouses were enough to deal with the Zhao family, but this had to be in the case of the Zhao family without foreign aid.

Yan Xue gave Duan Chun an idea to ask the city lord to raise the tax first. In this way, you will definitely be able to find an excuse to do it, and it is a grandiose excuse.

Duan Wuxian also felt that this excuse was very good, so he adopted Yan Xue's suggestion.

Today, the City Lord's Mansion issued an order that the tax on medicinal herbs in the territory under the jurisdiction of Flame City would be increased by one or five percent, and violators would be severely punished for disturbing the peace.

The Zhao family's medicinal herb business has a total profit of a little more than two percent. Another one-fifty increase in taxes would be almost unprofitable.

If you pay an extra one into five, the Zhao family will have to pay more than 100,000 gold coins every month.

Zhao Zhenduo chatted with his eldest brother at night: "Big brother, Duan Wuxian is crazy, if the tax is increased by one to five, Flame City will collect hundreds of thousands of gold coins a month, what does he want to do?"

"What else can he want to do, it's nothing more than making money. Flame City is not the largest city in the Blue Wolf Country, but it is really a joke that the tax is the highest now. ”

Zhao Zhenxing sneered.

"Is it possible that they are coming at us?" Zhao Zhenduo had a bad feeling now.

"It's not certain, it's possible. ”

While they were talking, Xu Baichuan hurried over.

"Brother Xu, is there something urgent?" Seeing Xu Baichuan's anxious appearance, Zhao Zhenduo was even more worried.

"This Duan Wuxian is crazy, he is actually ready to send 10,000 troops to Qinghuang Town. All those who go up the mountain to collect medicine must pay one gold coin every month, doesn't this force the price of medicinal materials to rise?"

Sure enough, Xu Baichuan brought bad news, and Zhao Zhenduo's face became even more solemn.

"One or two hundred thousand medicine pickers, what does he want to do?"

"More than half of this medicinal herb was sold to us, why don't they understand what they want to do?"

As soon as Xu Baichuan said this, Zhao Zhenduo completely understood that everything should be aimed at the Zhao family.

They didn't know that these bad ideas were all given by the young Yan Xue.

If they found out, they didn't know how they would feel.

An order made countless people in Flame City panic. Many people hated this Duan Wuxian very much, but they were powerless to resist.
