Chapter 8 The First Meeting

When Zhao Dabao returned to the 'Stone Mansion', it was already the stars and the moon. 'A grocery store' had already closed, and the four people led by Wang Dayong were gathering in the lobby at this time. When Zhao Dabao came back, they were arguing fiercely about something.

Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen each held their own opinions, and they already felt a little red-faced. Wang Dayong and You Yinniang watched quietly without making any sound.

Seeing Zhao Dabao coming back, Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen all stopped in an instant. Neither of them looked at each other, and each twisted their heads to the side, as if they were a little dissatisfied with each other.

"Yo! What's going on? When I was away, our 'Stone Mansion' seemed to be very lively! Master, Senior You, I don't know what happened, why did Senior Xu and Seventeen quarrel so much? Let's talk about it, let me also understand why the two of you are like this! ”

Walking into the lobby, Zhao Dabao sat down in the first place, picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, took a sip gently, smiled and looked at Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen on both sides of the bureau in front of him, and said softly with a hint of ridicule.

Hearing Zhao Dabao speak, Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen turned their heads to Zhao Dabao at the same time. was about to speak, but found that the other party and him made a sound at the same time, so he stopped at the same time and twisted his head back again.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Dabao couldn't help laughing. It's not surprising that Ma Seventeen would have such a table. Young and vigorous, it is normal to have such a table. But Xu Shangru, a senior monk, a once famous 'Great Alchemist', would also have such a small family appearance, it has to be unbelievable. has always been a serious person suddenly sells cuteness and tricks, and the effect can only be 'hehe'!

Wang Dayong, who was sitting next to Zhao Dabao, suddenly said at this time: Since this is the case, then let me, the old man, explain it! Save the two of you little guys from arguing again, hehe!

Since it is Wang Dayong who explains the situation, neither Xu Shangru nor Ma Seventeen will have any of them. The two turned their heads almost at the same time, looked at Wang Dayong, and waited for him to explain to Zhao Dabao in detail.

After Wang Dayong's narration, Zhao Dabao finally figured out what was going on. In fact, it's not a big deal, just because of a disagreement on a matter, there will naturally be a quarrel. Under the intentional indulgence of Wang Dayong and You Yinniang, it has become what it is now.

Wang Dayong, an old urchin, would have such a move, which did not surprise Zhao Dabao at all. But it originally gave him a sense of coldness, and he felt that You Yinniang, who was a little withdrawn in temperament, not very willing to communicate with others, and hid a lot of thoughts, would also be like this, which was a little unexpected by Zhao Dabao.

When he looked at You Yinniang with some consternation, this woman, who was obviously hundreds of years old, but still looked like a young woman, squeezed her eyes at him like a girl, and showed a mischievous smile. This guy who specializes in cheating her husband, Zhao Dabao really doesn't know what to say.

But You Yinniang will be like this, which is actually a good phenomenon. This is You Yinniang's original character, only under the suppression of hatred will she become the way Zhao Dabao was when he saw it. Now she's revealing her true nature, which means she really seems to have begun to let go. Whatever the reason, but it's always good.

Zhao Dabao secretly wrote down this matter. When are you going to wait for Gong'er to ask Wang Dayong or Xu Shangru to see who and what made You Yinniang have such a change.

You Yinniang's importance to Zhao Dabao should be self-evident, if You Yinniang can let go of her burden and become her true self, Zhao Dabao will even be happier than Xu Shangru's husband. However, now is not the time to study this matter, Zhao Dabao just took a moment in his heart, and then returned his attention to Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen.

Here's how it happened! Yesterday, didn't Zhao Dabao decide to spy on the 'Shang King Shaohuang' for a while? During the day today, the clerks of the 'Inspection Division' stationed in 'Chenyang Town,' who was in charge of monitoring the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang,' and the people recruited by Wang Dayong, who was in charge of monitoring the clerks of the 'Inspection Division' stationed in 'Chenyang Town,' sent back news one after another.

According to their careful verification, the 'Shang King Shaohuang' visited several big forces and mayors in the town one after another on this day, and met with many NPC bosses and shopkeepers who owned shops and storefronts in the downtown streets. I hope to get their permission to do business in 'Chenyang Town' and buy some storefronts as a foundation.

Although it was not very clear what kind of business the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' was going to do, because Zhao Dabao had scruples in advance, they sent the news back to the 'Shifu' and informed Wang Dayong, the temporary person in charge, that he knew.

Wang Dayong was also idle and had nothing to do, and when Zhao Dabao hadn't come back yet, he was quite bored, so he forced the matter out and asked for the opinions of Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen. The two who reported completely opposite opinions on this matter only clarified their own views at first, hoping to restrain each other. But as he spoke, he became angry, and as a result, the scene just now happened.

Ma XVII's meaning is to want to observe and observe again. It's not clear what the other side is going to do, so it seems a bit too arrogant to act like that. Born as a 'wandering merchant', he has always hated those big merchants who act arrogantly and have a domineering style. Now that it was him, he naturally wouldn't want to make trouble for no reason.

His philosophy is to make money in harmony, and if there is no conflict, there should be no conflict. Be able to cooperate better, mutual benefit and achieve a win-win situation; Even if you can't cooperate, don't become enemies. With multiple friends and multiple paths, maybe there will be a day when it will be useful.

And Xu Shangru's philosophy is the complete opposite of him. Perhaps because of his past experience, Xu Shangru, who usually seems to be gentle and elegant, is unusually cold and resolute in his attitude towards the enemy. Even if he is only a potential enemy, he will eradicate the danger before it erupts, and strangle it in the cradle.

Since the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' had the will to become their rival, they must not really wait for that day to happen. Instead of making amends, it is better to take precautions, prepare in advance, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and completely extinguish the dangerous fire, so as not to have any variables in the future.

There is no right or wrong opinion between the two. It's just that different people, under the influence of different world views, values, and outlook on life, will inevitably have different views on the same thing. It's no wonder that the two will quarrel more and more intensely, and how can they convince each other with different views?

Wang Dayong and You Yinniang also saw through the essence of the incident, so they ignored the escalating disputes. Otherwise, no matter how playful these two people are, they will not let this kind of thing happen that will shake the stability and unity of a team and destroy the foundation of the team.

Now this problem has fallen on Zhao Dabao's head. Whoever he agrees with will inevitably leave a rift in the heart of another. Maybe it won't have any impact in the short term, but once it is re-detonated at some point in the future, it will not be a matter that can be solved lightly.

How to find a solution that can solve the problem satisfactorily without hurting the harmony between the two has become the most important thing for Zhao Dabao at present, and it is also the most headache for him. What to do? Zhao Dabao's brain began to work quickly. One by one, rhetoric and methods appeared in his mind, and he rejected them and reimagined them.

After a long time, when Xu Shangru and Ma Seventeen couldn't help but speak again, Zhao Dabao finally made a decision. He planned to take Ma Seventeen to meet the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' tomorrow, and decide what kind of attitude he should take towards the other party according to the expression of the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang'.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Dabao is more on Xu Shangru's side. In addition to the fact that he didn't want his plan to be affected in any way, it was also because Xu Shangru helped him more than Ma Seventeen.

said that it was to decide how to treat him according to the expression of the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang', but in fact, the machine had already expressed that Zhao Dabao wanted to target the other party.

The reality is that no opportunity can be wasted. If you are not resolute enough, you will inevitably be eliminated. Zhao Dabao didn't want the good situation to end up ruined by his momentary good thoughts.

Which of the people present is not a human spirit? Even the youngest Ma Seventeen has many years of experience in rolling in society. The meaning of Zhao Dabao's words, it is impossible for them not to hear it.

However, Ma Seventeen was not dissatisfied. Zhao Dabao will be willing to take him with him, which has already given him enough face. He is not unaware of Zhao Dabao's ambitions, he is the first follower to follow Zhao Dabao, and he attaches more importance to Zhao Dabao's interests than anyone else. Zhao Dabao had already taken his sake into account and made concessions, and he had nothing more to say.

A commotion subsided, and everyone went back to their rooms. The broken sleep that should be slept, the cultivation that should be cultivated, and the night passed quietly like this.

Early the next morning, with the help of the information provided by the informant, Zhao Dabao took 'Xiao Erhei' and Ma Qiqi to the largest restaurant in the entire 'Chen Yang Town', 'Yangjia Restaurant'. I did it in the private room on the top floor, enjoying the food while waiting for the arrival of the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' and the person he was going to meet in the next room.

'Yang Family Restaurant', just look at the name, you know that it is the property of the 'Yang Family Martial Arts', one of the two largest NPC forces in 'Chen Yang Town'. It is located in the most prosperous downtown street of 'Chenyang Town', and it is just a road away from Zhao Dabao's 'a grocery store'.

The whole restaurant is more than 20 meters high and is divided into six floors. Each time you go up, it's like stepping into another world. The higher you go, the more luxurious the decoration becomes. The services that can be enjoyed and the coins that need to be paid must also be upgraded to a higher level.

On the highest sixth floor, there are only four rooms for human use. As far as the eye can see, you can see all kinds of treasures, gold and jade, dotted everywhere. Even some restaurants in Fucheng do not necessarily have such a scale. The people who can occasionally dine here are all big people who can influence the overall situation of 'Chen Yang Town'.

Zhao Dabao has this qualification, not because he showed the identity of the person in charge of the 'Inspection Department' and 'Chen Yangzhen', but because he relied on his identity as the big boss of 'a grocery store'. From the products launched by 'a grocery store', it can be seen that it has at least a formal 'master', 'alchemist', and 'treasure master'.

In the entire 'Chen Yang Town', before Xu Shangru's arrival, there were only three official 'alchemists'. They belong to the three major forces of the emperor's ** team, 'Chen Jia's Dart Bureau', and 'Yang Jiawuguan'. There is no official 'alchemist'. Even if it wasn't true that there were subordinates of this level, just being able to have such a channel was enough to make every NPC in 'Chen Yangzhen' look down on Zhao Dabao, the big boss of 'a grocery store'. Maybe when, and when I ask him. It is not a problem to give him the qualification to enter the top floor of the 'Yang Family Restaurant'.

As for why the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' has such qualifications, Zhao Dabao is not very clear. After all, she is not an all-knowing and all-powerful being, and it has only been a day since she started to investigate the 'Shang King and Young Emperor', and there are some unclear things, which seem much more reasonable. Maybe it's because he has some kind of powerful sect background or some special channel, or maybe it's through the face of the person he is feasting on, who knows?

It is natural that the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' can set up a banquet so early in the morning and invite each other will naturally not be a simple person. In fact, the status of this person in 'Chen Yang Town' is not under the mayor of the town or the principals of the two major forces of 'Chen Family Dart Bureau' and 'Yang Family Martial Arts Hall'. If his father had been in person, even those three would have had to back down three points.

The main background of the world in the Huaxia region of "Fantasy" is the land of Shenzhou under the traditional mythical power system of many sects under the rule of a declining empire.

Since it is the ruling class in the form of an empire, it cannot avoid the existence of the aristocracy. Whether it is a powerful aristocrat who has worked hard by himself, or an old aristocrat who has been shaded by his ancestors. Near their fiefdoms, they had the powerful ruling power of the Yuan Dynasty Empire and the Lower Sects.

Although 'Chen Yang Town' is not the territory of any noble, within the scope of 'Chen Yang Town', there is still an old aristocratic force that once produced a marquis. Although the title of this old aristocratic force has been reduced to a viscount because of its age, it has been rooted in 'Chen Yang Town' for thousands of years, and it is far from being comparable to the sects and clan forces such as 'Chen Family Dart Bureau' and 'Yang Family Martial Arts'.

From Zhao Dabao's knowledge, the contemporary viscount of this old aristocratic power is a high-level knight with a level of 600 or more. At the helm of an army of 50,000 men, he is responsible for suppressing some of the alien races in the frontiers of the empire.

The level of the old viscount who stayed in the fiefdom was no longer below level 600, and he was a powerful sword immortal who had once worshiped the top sects, and he was a storage that could not be ignored by anyone.

In the future, this old aristocratic force was one of the leaders of the 'Jiuyuan Mansion's rebellious army, and once occupied the land of the three counties. Although it ended dismally, there has not been a single change yet, and it is still a formidable and powerful force.

The banquet of the 'Shang King Shaohuang' was the first heir of this aristocratic force, the core disciple of the top force of the 'Stone Axe City' 'Lieyangmen', and the high-level knight above level 300, Mu Shaoxiong.

This 'little lord' is not an easy character. In Zhao Dabao's memory, the Mu family was not completely wiped out in the end, just because of his existence. This 'little lord' is a powerful future with both wisdom and strength, but I don't know how the 'Young Emperor of Shang' has a relationship with this one.

From what Zhao Dabao knows, the 'Shang King Family' of the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' has no connection with the 'Mu Family'! Is it because his presence has changed many things in his memory? Or did the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' negotiate with this 'little lord' originally exist, but it ended in failure?

Time will tell him a qiē! Now Zhao Dabao is not in a hurry to understand every detail of this. With the support of the 'Inspection Division', he will not worry about what impact this 'little lord' will have on him. provoked him, the person in charge of the 'Chen Yang Town' and 'Inspection Division', and it is unknown who is the one who suffers!

Only players who are full of infinite possibilities and infinite variables are the ones who will really worry Zhao Dabao. Especially the guy like 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' who has strength, brains, and a lot of capital as a backing.

There was nothing wrong with Zhao Dabao's memory. Although it is separated by a wall, with his perception of more than 800, he can still clearly perceive every word and deed next door.

The negotiation between the 'Shang King and the Young Emperor' and the 'little lord' ended in failure. As far as the 'Little Lord' is concerned, the current 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' is not qualified to bargain with him at all. To be able to meet him, it is still for the sake of the fact that both of them are core disciples of the 'Burning Sun Sect'.

With the departure of the 'little lord', Zhao Dabao could feel the disappointment and frustration of the 'Shang King and Young Emperor'. After meditating for a long time and letting out a long sigh, the 'Young Emperor of Shang' finally stood up, dragging his slow steps, and prepared to leave.

This is the time! Zhao Dabao motioned to Ma Seventeen to invite the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' into the house.

Zhao Dabao, who overheard the conversation between the 'Young Emperor of Shang' and the 'Little Lord' Mu Shaoxiong, and learned of the plan of the 'Young Emperor of Shang', also planned to change his original plan.

This is a very good opportunity, and if he can grasp it, the gain he will get is no less than the benefit he can get from completing his long-term plan for 'Chen Yangzhen'.

After getting Zhao Dabao's signal, Ma Seventeen took two quick steps and stopped the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' who was about to go downstairs.

"'Shang Wang Gongzi' stay! My family wants to meet you! ”

Hearing this, the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' stopped, turned around and glanced at Ma Seventeen, his face full of doubts.

"What is this gentleman's mouth? I don't know what he wants to see? ”

"'Shang Wang Gongzi' might as well move to see each other, and after meeting, can all your doubts be solved soon?"

After a little thought, the 'Young Emperor of Shang' decided to meet this mysterious 'lord' with Ma Seventeen. Anyway, his original plan has been ruined, and he doesn't know what to do now. It doesn't hurt to meet that 'adult', maybe there will be some turnaround!
