Chapter Twenty-Four: Merchant City
Shangshang Mountain, the fourth inner city, Heart Medicine Street.
On the fourth floor of the tallest shop, Fang Zheng finished his recuperation and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside.
It has been a week since I left Liaojiazhai.
The caravan had left Liaojiazhai and came to Shangshang Mountain.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of what happened when he came to Shangshang Mountain.
At that time, Fang Zheng was practicing, and he saw a young Gu Master who had just joined the caravan running over with an anxious face.
Speaking to Geng Fangzheng, Shang Xinci, Yao Le, and Fluttershy and Xiaozhu were taken away by a black-robed and blood-haired man.
At that time, the young Gu master was very anxious, and he didn't know the identity of the black-robed red-haired man Shang family patriarch at all, so he ran back directly to report to Fang Zheng.
He finally got the status of a backbone in the Heart Medicine Caravan, and as a result, this kind of thing happened when he was protecting Shang Xinci.
He was very anxious about the dereliction of duty.
That is, he is worried about his own situation, but also worried about the safety of Yaole and Shang Xinci.
If this happened to another caravan, he would definitely run away without saying a word.
However, Shang Xinci and Yaole treated him well, and he was also extremely respectful to Shang Xinci and Yaole, so even though he knew that he might be severely punished for dereliction of duty, he still chose to come back and report the news.
Fang Zheng, who got the news, naturally knew that Shang Yanfei and Shang Xinci recognized each other.
However, Fang Zheng didn't say it, and Fang Zheng also showed some anxiety.
However, compared to this Gu master who was like an ant on a hot pot, Fang Zheng seemed much calmer.
Seeing his anxious appearance, Fang Zheng also hurriedly calmed his mind, and at the same time kept asking him about Shang Yanfei's information, such as appearance and clothing.
After getting the exact description, Fang Zheng hurriedly asked his men to assemble, arranging for some people to search on one side and some people to guard the goods on the other.
After that, I called Uncle Zhang to contact the merchant together.
As long as he can't show his flaws, Fangzheng tries his best to do enough.
Not long after Fang Zheng contacted the merchants, he saw three fourth-turn Gu masters with a large group of people detaining the caravan, and Fang Zheng and Uncle Zhang were taken away alone.
On the way away, Fang Zheng knew that the most difficult review level had come.
Contrary to Fang Zheng's expectations, Shang Yanfei did not examine Fang Zheng's anything, but only spoke to Fang Zheng alone with an amiable attitude.
Soon after, Fang Zheng met Shang Xinci's four daughters.
Seeing Fang Zheng, Shang Xinci's four daughters also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, along the way, Fangzheng is their backbone.
Not long after meeting Shang Xinci, Fang Zheng Yaole and the two were arranged to live in an exquisite manor near Shang Xinci's residence.
In the past few days, Shang Yanfei came over to talk to Shang Xinci from time to time, and arranged for a few maids to come over to dress Shang Xinci.
Among these girls is one named Tian Lan, Fang Zheng knows that she is Shang Yanfei's eyeliner, and pays special attention to her.
Fang Zheng lived in this manor for several days, but when he was about to go out for a walk, he was stopped by the Gu Master, so he could only confine himself to the vicinity of this small manor.
In desperation, Fang Zheng had no choice but to take advantage of Shang Yanfei to come to see Shang Xinci and propose the matter of the Chamber of Commerce to him.
He smiled indifferently and didn't answer Fang Zheng.
I don't know if I listened to it or I just didn't think it mattered.
Soon after, a backbone of the Chamber of Commerce was brought in to report the situation of the caravan to Fang Zheng and the others.
Because Yaole and Shang Xinci had a high prestige in the caravan, a few people disappeared for two or three days, and there were no problems in the shop.
This made Fang Zheng really relieved.
Different from the previous indifference to the Chamber of Commerce, after Liao Jiazhai found out that he was insufficient, the importance of this heart medicine merchant in Fangzheng's heart has increased a lot.
The value of the Heart Medicine Chamber alone is several million yuan.
Of course, the most important thing is the manpower, these loyal manpower, Founder does not want to be gone.
Fangzheng is not as good as the old devil, and the means are superb.
If these people are gone, I don't know how long it will take to cultivate, and it will be very distressing to lose Fang Zheng like this.
Now Fang Zheng has also discovered the benefits of the caravan, there is a caravan, what you want, directly let your subordinates be responsible, I don't know how much effort has been saved, with these subordinates, Fang Zheng doesn't know how easy it is to practice.
Fortunately, his subordinates brought good news.
Through the report of his subordinates, Fang Zheng learned that the caravan had been interrogated in detail by the merchants several times, and asked about what Fang Zheng and Shang Xinci liked to eat, and the other party asked seven or eight times about Shang Xinci's feelings for medicine and music.
Fortunately, under the influence of Fangzheng, the relationship between Shang Xinci and Yaole is now quite good, and Fangzheng and Shang Xinci have no relationship between men and women at all.
Although the two of them have a good impression of each other, Shang Xinci has no cultivation qualifications, and he does not dare to confess his inferiority complex in his heart, while Fang Zheng has always adhered to the trick of cowardice in the face of the merchant's fire pit that will die if he jumps in.
It is worth mentioning that in the report of his subordinates, the members of these chambers of commerce did not say anything about the information of the three Fangzheng to the merchants.
Most of them were people from other caravans who were traveling with them.
It wasn't until Shang Xinci said that Shang Xinci was now Shang Yanfei's daughter that these subordinates of Shang Xinci said some good things about Fang Zheng and Yaole.
This alone made Fang Zheng smile bitterly, and he was even more glad that Shang Xinci and the others were strictly in charge of things even if they promoted mortals.
It seems that this group of people has been cultivated by Shang Xinci to be loyal.
After the caravan was sent away by a benefit fee given by Shang Yanfei, Fang Zheng was also a little freer.
Fang Zheng guessed that it might be Shang Xinci's matter that had been investigated.
Soon after, Fang Zheng was arranged by Shang Yanfei to take a family elder named Yi Huo to familiarize himself with the merchant city.
When he arrived at the Wind and Rain Building, Fang Zheng pretended to be hateful and took out a few feathers.
This is the feathers of the iron-beaked flying crane.
After spending hundreds of thousands of yuan to ask Fengyulou for news about it, Fangzheng had no other actions, and had been accompanying Yihuo to get acquainted with the merchant city.
In order to play the identity of the vengeful young master, Fang Zheng also fought hard, and directly spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy useless news.
These hundreds of thousands of yuan are distressed, but if you want to act enough, this money must still be spent.
Yi Huo also had some doubts about Fang Zheng's purchase of news, but Fang Zheng didn't explain it to him.
This is the clue that Fang Zheng left for Shang Yanfei.
There are some things that you have to find out yourself before you can believe them, and Fang Zheng can tell him there.
directly pretended not to sigh about it, and he played around.
In this process, Yi Huo's attitude towards Fang Zheng is also good, and Fang Zheng also calls Yi Huo his eldest brother.
Of course, Yi Huo also tried to learn from Fang Zheng, and with Yi Huo, a big master at the peak of the four turns, as a sparring partner, Fang Zheng was naturally very happy and directly used all his means.
The Wood Dao Gu Worm that cultivated, the inherited White Bone True Inheritance, the original killing move Ben Lei, and even the Swallow Wing Gu and his own mount Biao were all used, but after all, they still didn't fight Yi Huo.
However, even if he hadn't fought Yi Huo, Fang Zheng was already very satisfied, because in the battle with Fang Zheng, Yi Huo was also forced out by Fang Zheng a lot of Gu.
Moreover, Founder's strongest hole card is not Ben Lei, Founder's strongest killing move is the killing move in the Mudao inheritance, and none of these killing moves have been used by Fangzheng.
Soon after the battle with Yi Huo, Fang Zheng and Yao Le were invited to a merchant's family dinner.
The arrival of Fang Zheng and Yao Le did cause some waves, but with the original information as the foundation, Fang Zheng was not very afraid.
After the family banquet, Shang Xinci's identity was recognized by the merchants.
After that, Fang Zheng moved to Heart Medicine Street.
"The situation is the same as the old devil's previous life!"
Thinking of what happened in the past few days, Fang Zheng sighed softly.
Regarding the recognition of relatives, Shang Xinci was a little emotional about Shang Yanfei at first, after all, she had resentment in her heart, but in the end she still recognized her relatives.
Not long after they met, Shang Yanfei was assigned to a street in the fourth inner city of Shang Xinci to temporarily house the Heart Medicine Chamber of Commerce.
That is, the street where Fang Zheng is now.
After the merchants regained their freedom, Founder came here.
At first, Shang Yanfei was also going to arrange a residence for Fang Zheng in the third inner city, but Fang Zheng refused.
Third, the price of goods in the inner city is too high, Fang Zheng doesn't want to waste it so much, and besides, Fang Zheng has four transformations of cultivation, and he is not afraid of others making trouble.
Therefore, Fang Zheng did not live in the third inner city.
Third, the inner city is too easy to contact with merchants, and for merchants, it is possible to try not to contact them without contact.
Fortunately, Shang Yanfei didn't pay much attention to Fang Zheng and the others, he cared about Fang Zheng and the others just because Shang Xinci cared.
It is worth mentioning that Fang Zheng and Yao Le got a blue maple token, which is much worse than the Bauhinia Gold Medal, but it is enough.
For this token, it was not asked for by Fangzheng, but directly given by Shang Yanfei.
Fang Zheng guessed that in addition to the fact that the two of them were friendly with Shang Xinci, it might also have something to do with the fact that he was a fourth-turn Gu master.
For the Heart Medicine Chamber of Commerce, Shang Yanfei also injected capital to increase Shang Xinci's shares to sixty percent.
However, now Shang Xinci is following Shang Yanfei to accept the Gu Master's teachings, and the management of the caravan has temporarily become Zhang Zhu and Yao Le.
For this caravan, Shang Xinci was obviously emotionally invested and had no idea of giving up.
For Shang Yanfei's operation, Founder can only support it.
Zhang Zhu took care of the caravan, and Fang Zheng thought it was a little difficult at first, but then he was relieved.
has followed Shang Xinci for so long, Zhang Zhu's ability is only stronger than Yaole, not weaker, and with Shang Xinci coming over from time to time to help, the caravan has been very stable.
With Shang Yanfei's capital injection, Founder's situation is much better, and there is no need to worry about the Chamber of Commerce being suppressed, as long as he is focused on making money.
After the caravan moved to Xinyao Street, the Xinyao caravan opened several shops, and even gambling stone shops.
"It's a good situation!"
Looking at the traffic outside the window, Fang Zheng smiled lightly.
"Although I don't have a Bauhinia token, what I got is only a little bit of the Blue Maple Order, and this token is enough for merchants."
"And!" A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth: "Compared with the old devil, I have a loyal chamber of commerce, although this chamber of commerce does not belong to me, but I can also use the chamber of commerce." ”
"Now that the coconut monkey has been transported by Xiao Zhang and a few people to the Hundred Refining Hall that specializes in Gu practice, I don't know how many three-turn Gu worms I can train, I hope there will be one!"
In addition to refining Gu, Fang Zheng also instructed them to purchase one or two sets of Gu recipes related to monkey-shaped changes.
"Most of the Gu recipes that change the Dao are not expensive, even if they reach the fourth turn, it is estimated that it will only be hundreds of thousands of stones, and they should be able to collect the Dao in the Merchant City."
Regarding the changes in the coconut monkey, Fang Zheng decided to use it for the time being and see how it went.
"During this time, I began to get in touch with caravans, and I found that my understanding was indeed a lot shallow. Fortunately, the mistake has not been cast yet, come on! ”
During this time, Fang Zheng planned to buy a four-turn Qi Qi Gu to cover up his cultivation, but Fang Zheng planned to pretend to be a pig to participate in the martial arts arena.
