After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper named Long Qixue, Yan Yunxing went on the road again, this shopkeeper is not simple, he has to come back in person to invite him when he has time in the future, after all, the Five Poisons Sect is the time to employ people, this Long Qixue is very smart, you can try to let him participate in the management of the economy in the sect. Thinking of this, Yan Yunxing made up his mind, but the most important thing now is to go to Dali City to visit this Jia Chamber of Commerce.

Nothing along the way, bypassing the Five Poison Cave and going straight down to the southeast, three days later arrived in Dali City, along the way Yan Yunxing heard a lot of things about the Jia Chamber of Commerce's suppression of the Five Poison Sect, and did not dare to stay in the city to enjoy the scenery, after entering Dali City, he wanted to ask the street pedestrians about the specific location of the Jia Chamber of Commerce, but next to a high-end restaurant, he saw an old acquaintance walking out with a group of officers and soldiers, Yan Yunxing hurriedly stepped forward to talk to him, but was blocked by a group of officials in the back row, Yan Yunxing had no choice but to shout: "Yang Yue City Lord, how are you doing lately?" ”

The middle-aged man who was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers in the center was Yang Yue, the city lord of Dali City, who turned around when he heard someone shouting his name behind him, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, it turned out to be him! Didn't he fall off the mountain behind the Poison King Peak and die? I haven't seen you for more than three years, but I didn't expect to be alive!

Then Yang Yue suppressed all kinds of doubts in his heart, took Yan Yunxing's hand and hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion, under Yan Yunxing's sigh of grandeur and majesty of the City Lord's Mansion, the servants in the hall served two cups of brewed tea, Yang Yue sat on the main seat, and motioned Yan Yunxing to quench his thirst with tea, Yan Yunxing raised his head without politeness and drank all the tea in the cup, and the servant next to him immediately refilled another cup, Yan Yunxing finally stopped his thirst after drinking five cups in a row, and then stretched out his sleeve and wiped his mouth indiscriminately.

Yang Yue looked at Yan Yunxing's hungry appearance, and hurriedly said, "Oops... It's also my negligence, looking at the appearance of the Yunxing brothers, they should have just come back, and they must have not eaten yet, right? Someone's coming! To Brother Yunxing..."Yan Yunxing waved his hand to stop Yang Yue's kindness, and then said: "City Lord Yang don't need to bother, I have already eaten when I came, but I was a little thirsty along the way, so I don't need to eat, I think we must have a lot of questions to ask each other, right?" As he spoke, he glanced at the many servants in the hall, Yang Yue understood what Yan Yunxing meant, and with a wave of his hand, the servants withdrew from the hall, leaving only Yang Yue and a starry young general beside Yang Yue.

Yang Yue raised his hand and pointed at the general behind him, and said: "This is the deputy commander of the Dali City Praetorian Guard, 'Meng Dejun', you can call him Meng De, he is your trialist, and he is also my henchman." ”

Yan Yunxing nodded and looked at the unsmiling and conscientious deputy commander, but he didn't expect that not only the players on the rivers and lakes had changed greatly, but even the players in the Baidao officialdom were also mixed up. This Dali City has two armies, the Janissary and the Protector, respectively, led by the main and deputy city lords as the captains, this Meng Dejun is really not easy to mix with the deputy commander at a young age, but since Yang Yue said that he is a confidant, it doesn't hurt for him to listen to it, after all, it is not an important secret.

Right now, there were just the three of them in the hall, Yan Yunxing let out a long breath, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Tang Nianyu is dead..."

Yang Yue sighed as soon as he heard this, and his tense heart relaxed a lot at the moment. Ten years of brothers turned against each other, this matter is not very comfortable on anyone, besides, Tang Nianyu is still the pioneer sent by Western Xia to prepare to capture the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, due to his own negligence, Tang Nianyu used himself to escape from the Poison King Peak, and the final harm of the Flower Sect Master and Yan Tang Master fell to the valley after the life and death are unknown, all of which are directly related to themselves. Hearing that Tang Nianyu was dead, while sighing with emotion, the guilt in his heart was also a little less, after all, Yan Yunxing still came out alive.

After that, Yan Yunxing roughly told the story of the three of them at the bottom of the valley, of course, he didn't tell the story of himself and Hua Beauty, Bingtong and Huoxin, and after finishing speaking, the two were silent for a while, each thinking about their own things.

"So, the Flower Sect Master didn't die, but was chosen by Heavenly Court to ascend to Immortal?" Yang Yue lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly a sentence came out.

Yan Yunxing nodded and comforted Yang Yue and said: "City Lord Yang doesn't have to blame himself, you didn't deliberately let Tang Nianyu go as a hostage back then, besides, Tang Nianyu is dead, and I and the Flower Sect Leader are safe and sound, this is already the best result." ”

"Yes, yes!" The big stone that Yang Yue has been hanging in his heart for three years has finally fallen to the ground, and all the past has passed with Tang Nianyu's death, right? Yang Yue thought secretly in his heart.

However, Tang Nianyu's death does not mean that the ambition of Western Xia to invade the Southern Song Dynasty is dead, Yan Yunxing thought of this, and only heard him open his mouth and ask: "Although Tang Nianyu is dead, have you carefully investigated the other moles related to Li Batian, the mayor of Shuixiu Town, and Ling Feng, the mayor of Xixia Yipintang, last time?" ”

Yang Yue scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, and sneered: "After I reported that matter to the imperial court, I didn't care about it anymore, how can I be strict with the hall master... Oh no, Sect Master Yan, do you think that Western Xia will come to invade my southwest without a plan? ”

Yan Yunxing raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Yue, looking at the other party's slightly embarrassed expression, and sighed in his heart, after all, he is not a person who does practical things! Forget it, no matter how much, the problem of the Five Poisons Sect has not been solved yet, and the matter of Western Xia will give Kaifeng Emperor Lao'er a headache.

Yan Yunxing didn't answer any more questions about Western Xia, but began to carefully inquire about the matter of the Jia Chamber of Commerce.

"City Lord Yang, let's not talk about the issue of Western Xia anymore, now I want to ask you the most important question."

"Please."

"I'm sure you've heard a lot about the Jia Chamber of Commerce's suppression of my teaching, can you tell me more about what's going on?" Yan Yunxing put forward the question he was most concerned about.

Yang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this question, and after pondering for a moment, he replied with some hesitation: "The Jia Chamber of Commerce is an economic giant that has dominated the southwest region in the past two years, and I don't know exactly why the Five Poisons Sect was suppressed, but I can help you carefully understand the internal personnel of the Jia Chamber of Commerce, they have invited me to their gatherings several times, and I still have some understanding of some specific personnel." ”

Yan Yunxing groaned, a little bit didn't believe Yang Yue's words, after all, as a city lord, he would definitely know a lot about this kind of inside information, but he was unwilling to tell himself why the Jia Chamber of Commerce suppressed the Five Poisons Sect, presumably there must be his own reasons. However, it is not bad to be able to understand the internal composition of the Jia Chamber of Commerce, Yan Yunxing stretched out his hand and motioned for Yang Yue to continue.

"Jia Simou, the president of the Jia Chamber of Commerce, was originally the mayor of Jiajia Town, the southernmost wilderness of my dynasty, and later played his own piece of the world in the Southern Wilderness with his outstanding business acumen, and then abandoned the official business and stationed all his family assets in Dali City and created the Jia Chamber of Commerce, a businessman wants to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and it is not enough to buy money and wealth, and then he raised a large number of thugs to help him deal with the harassment of various gangs in the southwest region, it is strange to say, he raised this batch of thugs are all masters with unique skills, The southwest heroes didn't have the slightest way to take him, and then Jia Simou retreated into the background, and all the business was handed over to his eldest son Jia Beibin to take care of, and then Jia Beibin invited a man called ' The trialist of the Great Sage of Finance, this trialist has excellent business acumen, and he doesn't know where he got so much money, not only helped the Jia Chamber of Commerce successfully monopolize the southwest economy, but also invested all his property in the Jia Chamber of Commerce, making the Jia Chamber of Commerce finally become a business giant who controls the lifeline of the southwest economy, and all the southwest gangs are respectful to the Jia Chamber of Commerce, although they have not participated in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, but they have really become an indispensable giant in the southwest rivers and lakes. As for why the Five Poisons Sect was suppressed, I just... I really don't know. ”

After talking about the origin and growth of the Jia Chamber of Commerce, Yang Yue was also a little dry, picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his lips, but his eyes secretly glanced at Yan Yunxing, only to see that the latter did not show any anger or dissatisfaction, but just bowed his head and frowned in contemplation.

What Yan Yunxing was thinking about was that according to Yang Yue, the Jia family was originally a small household in the mountains and wilderness of the wilderness, and it was not only Jia Simou who had a mind behind the rise to become a business giant, those thugs with unique skills, as well as the rich man in reality, the "financial sage", took a fancy to the Jia Chamber of Commerce for investment, which is also a puzzling point, it seems that many things have indeed happened in the past three years since he was away, but what does this have to do with suppressing the Five Poisons Sect?

Yan Yunxing lowered his head and muttered for a moment, he really had a headache, so he got up and clenched his fists and prepared to leave, if he wanted to understand clearly, he could only sneak into the Jia Chamber of Commerce to find out the situation. After asking about the specific location of Jiafu, Yan Yunxing said a word of annoyance and turned around and left quickly.

At this time, only Yang Yue and "Meng Dejun" were left in the hall of the mansion, only to see Yang Yue squinting his eyes and whispering to Meng De: "Quickly order all the people and projects in my mansion to cooperate with the Jia Chamber of Commerce to slowly withdraw, remember not to let the Jia Chamber of Commerce notice." ”

Meng De turned around and left with a promise, and just after walking a few steps, he turned around and asked with some doubts: "My lord, is it necessary to be so cautious?" I think that Yan Yunxing is nothing more than that! ”

Yang Yue's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he only heard him shout in a low voice: "How many times have I told you, don't underestimate anyone, when you were not in this world three years ago, Yan Yunxing had already shown his extraordinary talent for war, and I believe you have not heard of the battle of the Five Poison Mountain, at that time, only one sect blocked thousands of troops and horses, and caused a sensation in the entire Southern Song Dynasty." Now that he has returned as the sect leader, he will inevitably use thunderous methods against the Jia Chamber of Commerce, this kind of person, when he can be a friend, he must not be an enemy! ”

"Yes! Mengde understood! Meng De bowed his hand respectfully, and then continued: "Then the Lord of Liucheng can be..."

"Don't reveal a little rumor about Yan Yunxing's return, hum! The newcomer is ignorant, so he can borrow Yan Yunxing's hand to clean him up, so that he can know who has the final say in this Dali City! ”
