Chapter 197: The Wind Rises
When Wang Wei appeared in the Wang family's refining team, many people were more surprised than happy.
"Young Master Wei, how are you?"
Wang Weican's starry eyes looked at everyone with a smile, "Yes, I haven't gone out all these years, I am recuperating, and my injuries have been healed more than a month ago, just in time for the trial." ”
"Congratulations, congratulations......" A man's voice interjected, and I couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or melancholy, but it was definitely not joy from the heart.
It was Wang Zhe, the third young man of the Wang family, who was looking at Wang Wei with an uncertain expression at this time.
"Third brother." Wang Wei called with a smile, stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for three years, you have grown so tall." ”
"Yes, three years ago, the second brother was sent back, his life was in danger, and he was dying, but everyone was worried for a while. At this time, I am also in good spirits, and my injuries are healed, so I can rest assured. Wang Zheyi replied.
Wang Wei just patted each other's arms like a good buddy, and didn't say anything, and the others watched the interaction between the two of them, and couldn't interject, so they could only use their eyes to probe, hoping to get a glimpse of it.
Jixiang and the three uncles of the Wang family in the foundation building period will come to everyone. Ji Xiang announced with a smile: "These three uncles are all strength in the foundation building period, and they are the leaders of this experience, everyone must be cautious when going out and listen to their teachings." ”
"Yes." The people of the Wang family responded differently.
Wang Wei followed the team and quickly left Sifang City and headed for the Wangqiu Forest Belt. The Wangqiu Forest Belt is located in the north of Sifang City, more than 20,000 miles away, and the topography of the Sealing Belt Mountain is almost the same, it is a flat hill forest, but the number of demon beasts is more, the level is higher, and the danger is relatively greater, but the materials are more abundant than the Sealing Belt Mountain.
In particular, the unique lightning beast in the hinterland of the Wangqiu Forest can obtain a thunder demon core after killing, which is a rare refining material.
Qi Xiao has been so angry these days, and he will hear a secret report from his subordinates that Wang Wei's injuries are in good condition, and his cultivation is as usual, and he is so angry that his face is blue, red, white and green constantly changing.
"Go. Call Tong Jinghe to me! ”
"Yes." Jingwei quickly stepped back.
Tong Jinghe has been in Sifang City for many years, and there are eyeliners in various places in the city, so he naturally received the news of Wang Wei's recovery from his injury, and before he could figure out what was wrong. I heard Qi Xiao's summons over there.
"Alas!" He sighed heavily and went to the City Lord's Mansion.
Qi Xiao's face was gloomy, looking at Tong Jinghe coming quickly, and he defended himself in panic: "Wang Wei's matter must be deceitful. ”
"Hmph, you personally asked people to do this. Is it fraudulent or true, don't you know? Qi Xiao snorted coldly.
Tong Jinghe's face faded, "At the beginning, the people I sent sent came back with a message that Wang Wei was seriously injured in the abdomen and accidentally fell off the cliff, and they searched for the bottom of the cliff for a month but did not find the body, and thought that he was eaten by a demon beast." Later, Wang Wei was sent back, saying to the outside world that the dantian was destroyed and the cultivation was completely wasted, which also coincided with the news that came back from that group of people. So I didn't look into it any further. ”
He raised his eyes and saw that Qi Xiao's face was still terrifying, and he had a plan in his heart, and he said: "Moreover, Wang Kun and Wang Wei have been hiding Wang Wei for the past three years, and publicizing that Wang Wei's cultivation is all the same, it seems that he has long suspected this matter, so he will be so guarded and play us all in the palm of his hand." ”
Of course, Qi Xiao knew that he was being tricked by Wang Kuncheng, but it was a secret that he secretly asked people to mutilate Wang Wei, which would be even outrageous. But I couldn't vent, I was so suffocated that I was about to vomit blood.
In addition, there has been no progress in the theft of the Dragon Palace, and the matter of repairing the city protection array cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise the Tianji Gate will be blamed. Even Xiang Yifeng couldn't keep him.
"How can it be!"
"Bang Dang ......"
Tong Jing and Rao were in a steady mind, and at this moment, they couldn't help but tremble when they saw the rock-hard iron birch table shattered into powder under Qi Xiao's palm.
Qi Xiao vented, his anger was suppressed a lot, and he raised his eyes to stare at Tong Jinghe, "You should know what happened recently." At present, there is a big gap in the need to repair the Great Array, how many spirit stones can you take out now? ”
Tong Jinghe complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half of it on his face. Qi Xiao is like a cannon now, he doesn't dare to ignite it rashly and harm himself.
"The Tong family is full of strength, and they can take out up to 200,000 spirit stones." He cautiously observed Qi Xiao's reaction.
When Qi Xiao heard this, his face was very ugly. He naturally knew that Tong Jinghe didn't tell the truth, in the entire Sifang City, when it came to strength and power, the Tong family might not be as good as the Wang family. But in terms of net worth, the Tong family is a well-deserved leader in Sifang City.
Since he became the city lord, under his instruction and connivance, the Tong family has annexed countless other family shop assets, although half of them eventually fell into the hands of the city lord's mansion.
But he couldn't bear the huge expenses of the City Lord's Mansion, and no matter how many spirit stones he spent, he spent them like flowing water.
But the Tong family is different, and the number of Tong families is only more than 1,000. Moreover, the Tong family itself already has a lot of shops and commercial buildings to support the expenses of the entire family, and the rest of these resources are almost all collected into the treasury, and over time, the Tong family has become a wealthy family in the entire Sifang City.
This can be seen from the fact that the guards of the Tong family can receive cultivation pills every month, while many of the family's disciples can only replace cultivation resources with spiritual tea.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao couldn't help but stare at Tong Jinghe mockingly, "Don't forget who the Tong family relies on to stand above the other families, I have trouble and you think you can get better?" Do you believe it or not, when I fall, the first person to suffer will be your Tong family? ”
Tong Jinghe's face was a little pale, and he was also a little embarrassed, "I, I'll go back and discuss it with the clan elders?" ”
"Five hundred thousand spirit stones." Qi Xiao no longer looked at him, and looked ahead, "Whether your Tong family can take it out, you know, I know." Don't worry, after this hurdle, I will find an opportunity to compensate the Tong family in the future. ”
"Yes, I'll get together the spirit stones as soon as possible." Tong Jinghe didn't dare to say anything more.
"You go, I'll bring you in three days. Also, Wang Wei's matter, let me find out. Qi Xiao lightly ordered the eviction.
"Okay."
Tong Jinghe wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and quickly turned around and left.
Not long after he left, his subordinates came again to tell him that Jiang Yu was coming, and Qi Xiao's brows couldn't help but furrow again. Before going to Ye's house to trouble Ye Zi before, he promised to give 100,000 spirit stones as a thank you after the matter was completed.
Before the Dragon Palace was stolen, it would have been easy for him to take out 100,000 spirit stones. But now, he regrets that he was too impulsive at the beginning, but it is difficult to recover, Jiang Yu, he can't afford to offend.
"Please come in and serve tea!"
"Yes." The subordinate quickly left, and the servant quickly replaced the freshly piping hot tea.
Jiang Yu had an inconspicuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and strode into the hall. Qi Xiao hurriedly got up and pretended to greet him, "Jiang Array Master is here, please sit down." ”
Jiang Yu was not polite, he sat casually next to Qi Xiao, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and sighed with satisfaction: "Is this new tea?" The mouth is fragrant, clear but not astringent. ”
Qi Xiao himself also sat down, half welcoming and half self-deprecating smile, "Yes, the Wang family's Ling Tea Garden is a child, since this tea was born three years ago, it has now dominated the entire Sifang City Spirit Tea Trading Position, and even most of the Ling Tea in the surrounding cities are from the Wang family, they can be regarded as making a lot of money, and it is not good for people not to be jealous." ”
Jiang Yu smiled disappreliantly: "No matter how powerful the Wang family is, can you still surpass you, the city lord of Qi?" ”
Qi Xiao smiled, but there was some bitterness in his heart.
In Jiang Yu's opinion, he is the city lord of Sifang City, and he should be the most powerful, which family dares to compete with him? But the Wang family is different from other families, the previous city lords did not regret the Wang family, and now he has only been in office for a few decades, his foundation is shallow, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, it is not unreasonable.
But this kind of thing, he didn't plan to dissect Jiang Yu. First, his grievances with the Wang family are not enough for outsiders, and secondly, he can't suppress the Wang family, and he has no ability, so he can just spread out the embarrassment for others to say?
"Jiang Array Master is here in a hurry, but what's the matter?" Thinking about it, he quickly diverted the topic.
Jiang Yu didn't beat around the bush, "The Baiyun Immortal Mansion is about to open, and the Elder Hall may take the opportunity to come over to inspect at that time, and the matter of repairing the big array can't be delayed any longer, in addition, the ...... promised by the Qi City Lord before"
Jiang Yu's words were not finished, but how could Qi Xiao not understand, and said with a stiff smile: "A gentleman's words, a quick horse." However, the City Lord's Mansion has encountered a little difficulty recently, but before Jiang Zhenshi leaves, I will definitely honor it. The spirit stones for the repair of the Great Array are almost ready, and the materials are already being purchased, at most three days. ”
Jiang Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I know that the City Lord of Qi is a person who values righteousness and promises, so I won't bother, and I will leave first." ”
"Let's go." After Qi Xiao sent Jiang Yu away, his face suddenly sank, and the coldness emanating from his body caused the temperature of the entire hall to plummet by a few points. (To be continued.) )
