Chapter 161

Zhang Zhao couldn't believe his ears, what he had experienced in this day and night had been called ups and downs, but Hong Zhenyao's words still surprised him the most.

For his current situation, Hong Zhenyao's suggestion is tantamount to a light in the night. With the help of the God of Wealth Building, not only Shui Ling'er's matter can be easily solved, but Wen Dengrong's threat is even less worth mentioning.

Hong Zhenyao put his hands behind his back and waited for him to come forward to salute, and after a long time, he didn't see any movement from Zhang Zhao, and when he was about to ask, Zhang Zhao finally stepped forward and gave him a deep salute.

"Thanks to the love of his predecessors, Zhang Zhao is really flattered. Hong Zhenyao laughed happily in his heart, and when he wanted to bow down to him calmly, he heard Zhang Zhao continue: "How can this matter be very important, Zhang Zhao can't make a decision, and he has to think about it for a while." I ask for your pardon from the seniors. ”

"What else are you considering? Don't you think Hong is not worthy of you?" Hong Zhenyao was really angry and happy when he heard Zhang Zhao's answer: "With Hong's identity and status, are you still afraid that I will plot against you something?"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly shook his head and explained: "The younger generation only has this bit of wealth, and he has no power in the door, how can he be so ignorant." It's just ......" What kind of character is Hong Zhenyao, seeing the hesitation in his eyes, he already understood: "Oh, you are worried that Hong has taken a fancy to the foundation of Xuanshui Palace." ”

"Alas, I don't blame you, anyone else would think so. Hong Zhenyao sighed helplessly: "You kid looks loyal and honest, but he is actually quite scheming, and he didn't say that he wanted to leave a way back for himself." ”

Zhang Zhao's mind was seen through by him, his face was hot, but fortunately, there were dark spots blocking it, Hong Zhenyao saw that he was silent and smiled bitterly: "Okay, you think about it slowly, Hong's promise has been waiting for you, I also want to see what kind of surprise you can bring me in addition to this road." ”

Hong Zhenyao stepped into the air and disappeared, Zhang Zhao stood on the top of the building for a long time, until a white patch appeared on the eastern horizon, and then walked down the steps back to the room.

Although he hadn't slept all night, Zhang Zhao was unprecedentedly awake at this time. reunited with Jiang Ruhai, said goodbye to Shui Ling'er, Wen Dengrong's contempt and threat, and Hong Zhenyao's sudden closeness made him feel that the world was impermanent, and at the same time, he was full of longing for the future.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and the servants of Hongfuju entered with clean water towels. Zhang Zhao finished washing his face and stopped a person: "I want to ask, can you help me find Jiang Ruhai Jiang Gongzi who came yesterday." The servant respectfully agreed: "Son, wait, let's go and spread the word below." ”

Zhang Zhao sat down and ate breakfast, and before the servants could finish cleaning up, Jiang Ruhai had already hurriedly walked in: "Big brother, what are you looking for me?" After everyone else in the house left, Zhang Zhao stared at him and replied: "Brother Ruhai, what can I do to make me like you." ”

"Like us?" Jiang Ruhai listened to Zhang Zhao's explanation before he understood: "Big brother, this is really too difficult, take my brother and me as an example, most of the family business is passed down from ancestors, and my father also took over my grandfather's position before entering the God of Wealth Building." ”

"When I didn't take over these things before, my brother thought that earning him thousands of immortal crystals a year would be enough to dominate the five mysteries. But this year, I realized that the idea at that time was too superficial. To tell you the truth, the income of Hongfu City alone has exceeded the brother's estimate by more than ten times. ”

"Our Jiang family mainly does all kinds of rare treasure business, whether it is the strange stone jade in the Xuantu Domain, the Xuanhuo Domain, the pearl coral in the Xuanshui Water, as long as the shops set up everywhere are in slightly better condition, they will all accept them, and when they are screened and sent here, the value of any bead has increased by a thousand times. ”

"Let's talk about Zheng Yunxian of the ancient city of Yulu, their Zheng family only occupies dozens of good wells, although the high-grade rice millet is brewed, and a pound of wine is only a hundred taels of silver, but it has been stored in the wine cellar for decades and accumulated for hundreds of years, which can make a million profits. ”

"The wealthy merchants in Tianwai City gathered behind them, and their food, housing, and transportation were amazingly expensive. But this world is so weird, the more expensive and luxurious, the more people flock to it, even a dilapidated room on the edge of the city costs hundreds of immortal crystals. ”

Jiang Ruhai sighed at Zhang Zhao and said: "The scenery of our people is accumulated by our ancestors, although you have some skills, eldest brother, it is impossible to earn tens of thousands of immortal crystals a year, not to mention that it is like this every year." ”

"In the entire Wuxuan, there are only a dozen companies that have benefited like us. Even if our brothers join forces, it will take at least a few decades to create such a foundation. Listening to Jiang Ruhai's words, Zhang Zhao sighed softly: "Brother is right, is there really only one way to recognize Hong's predecessor as his father-in-law?"

"What father-in-law?" Jiang Ruhai waited for Zhang Zhao to finish speaking, dumbfounded: "Big brother, this is a great opportunity, with the momentum of Uncle Hong, you will first set down your family affairs, where did you come from so much consideration?"

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Ruhai thought of another layer of relevance: "Oh, it turns out that you are afraid that Uncle Hong intends to get involved in Xuanshui Palace, although I think Uncle Hong is a good person, but this matter is really uncertain......"

Zhang Zhao waved his hand: "There is really no way to talk about this until then, brother, you can listen to my business first." Then he talked in detail about the fact that he had bought a ship to go to sea, and that with the help of the cuckoo, he had subdued the skeleton remnants, and that the business at sea had begun to take shape.

Jiang Ruhai pondered for a moment: "This is really a strange way to make money, the risk at sea is too great, and we people never interfere." If the profits must be good, the brothers can send someone to the town to meet them, so as to save them from being too slow to sell the goods they bring back. ”

"One more thing, Brother Ruhai, you also saw the Wind and Fire Qilin and those Daomen talisman cars, I think the things of the mechanism are much stronger than the carriage, why is such a thing only for the family to travel, but not for transporting goods?"

Jiang Ruhai was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise: "Big brother, did you come up with this idea yourself?" Zhang Zhao nodded: "Yes, I think that with the speed of the Trap Beast, even if you run back and forth for tens of thousands of miles, it will only take more than a month, and there are many things to pull, won't you save a lot of time and effort?"

"Brother really didn't calculate this kind of thing, and I guess those Daomen families didn't think of it either. Let's try it first, I see that the eldest brother has a good relationship with the people of the Mo family, so I will order some trap beasts to try, if this road is really feasible, it must be a source of money...... Roll"

Just as he was saying this, the door was pushed open. "Who are you letting go?" As a crisp voice sounded, Hua Mengyue appeared at the door with a surprised face: "Why are you two men so close?

"No, really not, I only came in the morning. Jiang Ruhai's face was a little nervous when he saw Hua Mengyue: "I don't know what happened to Miss Mengyue coming to me?" Hua Mengyue looked at the two with suspicious eyes: "Really?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhao and Jiang Ruhai were busy nodding, she snorted: "Don't be amorous there, who will look for you, a lustful fat man, this girl is here to find Zhang Zhangzhao, you go out first." ”

Jiang Ruhai hurriedly shook his head: "It's not good for lonely men and widows to be in the same room, I'm still here to accompany them." Zhang Zhao also refused: "Miss Mengyue, please tell me clearly if there is anything, Ruhai is not an outsider." ”

Hua Mengyue looked at the strange expressions of the two and sighed: "What do you two think this girl is here for?" and then smiled at Zhang Zhang Zhaoyan: "Although you are a good kid, since Sister Ling'er has taken a fancy to you, of course this girl can't snatch love with a knife." ”

"How can there be ......" Zhang Zhao felt a little embarrassed but didn't know how to explain, Hua Mengyue took a few steps closer and smiled: "Don't shirk, this girl is not blind, I have long felt that she is a little different from you, and I understood the appearance of seeing her yesterday." ”

"As soon as you open your mouth, it will be five immortal yuan, Zhang Zhangzhao, if you really lose, you can't afford to sell your Lingxiao. She squinted at Jiang Ruhai: "Even this rich brother who has an unclear relationship with you is not as decisive as Sister Ling'er." ”

Jiang Ruhai suddenly shouted: "Our brothers are not entangled, I want to bear it all, but before I ran downstairs, I was taken by a few of you, otherwise it would be your turn." ”

Hua Mengyue pursed her lips: "Okay, okay, this girl doesn't have time to quarrel with you now." She turned around and walked a few graceful steps, Zhang Zhao saw her snow-white towering chest getting closer and closer to her, and hurriedly retreated: "Miss Mengyue, what do you want to do?"

"Have you seen this?" Hua Mengyue's ruddy cherry lips opened slightly, and she spit out a transparent thing that shimmered reddish: "Why do I think you seem to have something similar on you?"

After speaking, her face turned red and turned to the side and stared at Jiang Ruhai on her chest: "Fatty, if you dare to look at it so rudely, this girl will use a flying Gu to take your life." ”

"What, leave Hongyun Pavilion?" Hong Zhenlan looked at Shi Kun, who came to say goodbye, with a puzzled face: "Although I lost some immortal yuan in yesterday's incident, Hong didn't take it to heart, why does Brother Shi have to do this?"

Shi Kun replied calmly: "The Chengdong family has taken care of Shi Kun for more than ten years, and finally had some explanations yesterday. This time I left not to worry about the owner's blame, but to have other ideas. ”

"Last night, Shi Kun talked with Zhang Zhangzhao for a few words, thinking that he was ashamed to win with illusion. What's more, in order to repay the shame of the day, Shi Kun has missed more than ten years of time, and he should also go to Wuxuan to walk around. ”

Hong Zhenlan saw that he had already made up his mind to go, so he had to agree: "Brother Shi has made a great contribution to Hongyun Pavilion, I will ask Xu Fang to bring you some immortal crystals." Shi Kun smiled slightly: "The owner, please rest assured, even if Shi Kun leaves Boxi, he can live freely with this ability." ”

Bowing slightly to Hong Zhenyao, who had just come in, Shi Kun walked out of the hall door and walked away. Hong Zhenlan sighed: "Why did he leave suddenly." Big brother, you just came back, where have you been all night?"

Hong Zhenyao also sighed: "Second brother, I really feel a little sorry to be a brother now, if there is a man and a woman under his knees, why bother to look at other people's sons." ”

After listening to him, Hong Zhenlan smiled dumbly: "He still has to think about it, but big brother, your idea is really good, if he marries Shui Ling'er as your righteous son, Xuanshui Palace can really be used by us." ”

Hong Zhenyao shook his head and walked away: "Even you think like this, no wonder he doesn't agree!" Hong Zhenlan was left alone in the hall with a stunned face: "Don't you think so? Hey...... big brother...... Big brother, what the hell did you say, how did you all become like this?"

"What are you talking about, except for removing the things on your face, you never pay attention to it?" Hua Mengyue was so angry that her cheeks flushed: "Raising Gu is like treating your own child, you have to coax her every day and play with her, so that you can grow up quickly." You ......"

Seeing that she looked like she hated iron but not steel, Jiang Ruhai couldn't help but snicker beside her: "It's the same as the real thing, as if you gave birth to a child...... Before the voice fell, the red light in front of Hua Mengyue flew up silently, and Huo Ran turned into a translucent bee insect with a long pointed mouth in the air, flapped its wings and went straight to the door in front of him.

"Big brother, save me......" Jiang Ruhai was so frightened when he saw this, he hid in the middle of the house and touched the chair and the table was crooked. Hua Mengyue didn't mean to hurt people at all, so she let the flying Gu chase after her unhurriedly, smiling and admiring his embarrassed appearance when he fled for his life.

"So powerful?" Of course, Zhang Zhao saw that Hua Mengyue was joking, he looked at the red Gu worm with extremely dexterous movements and asked in surprise: "You mean, this one on my body can fly out now?"

Hua Mengyue turned to look at him and shook her head and smiled: "It's easier for you to think, you have to take your time like teaching a child to walk, I listen to you, you Gu can't do anything but eat now......"

"Big brother, don't be too busy asking about those things, come and help me. Jiang Ruhai couldn't help but be anxious when he saw that Zhang Zhao had already asked Hua Mengyue about raising Gu. Zhang Zhao listened carefully to what Hua Mengyue said, and replied casually: "That's just to scare you, how could Miss Mengyue really hurt you." ”

Jiang Ruhai stood boldly, and sure enough, the red Gu worm also stopped, he approached and looked at it carefully and praised: "You little thing is really beautiful." Seeing him reach out to grab it, the red Gu worm hurriedly retreated and dodged.

Hua Mengyue was talking to Zhang Zhao, sensing his movements, and scolded: "Fatty, what are you doing?" Jiang Ruhai followed the Gu worm and shouted: "I've never seen this thing before, you chased me for a long time, come over and let me take a good look." ”

Staring at the red Gu worm that was flying slower and slower, Jiang Ruhai suddenly jumped up: "I can't catch you this time." At this time, Hua Mengyue had just turned around, and the red Gu worm flew into her mouth and disappeared. Jiang Ruhai followed closely, and the hands that had not been withdrawn were pressed on Hua Mengyue's chest......

There was silence in the room, and Zhang Zhao turned his head and rushed out of the door quickly: "I'll go to Senior Mo to discuss the matter of the trap beast." Jiang Ruhai's wailing voice came from behind him: "Big brother, you wait...... Ah...... Miss Mengyue, I'm not the old ...... Oops......"

Mo Feng listened carefully to what Zhang Zhao said, and the ferocity on his face also lightened a little: "Black-faced boy, since our Mo family created the trap beast, Wuxuan has always regarded this thing as a rare thing, and has never thought of using it for such heavy work as transporting goods. ”

"You can give this idea a try, if it is used to transport goods and pull carts, the trap beast can be a lot less fancy, and the materials can be crude. There is no need to engrave the armor rune fire rune, simply engrave some speed rune magic power runes, which are indeed much cheaper than those good horses. ”

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Senior Mo, can you make some for me, how many immortal crystals do you need?" Mo Feng's eyes rolled and his essence flashed: "My old man can take nothing, if your deal is completed, how about letting my Mo family take 20% of the income?"

"Senior, what are you ......" Mo Feng saw Zhang Zhao a little dazed and smiled: "Boy, this business will not be too small, you have to buy at least a few thousand machine beasts, my old man only needs two percent?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "There are not too many juniors, and I don't know how profitable this business is now, why do the seniors trust us so much?" Mo Feng smiled when he heard this: "I think you can make it, it's as simple as that." ”

After speaking, he sighed lightly: "Although the Mo family is prosperous, those little ones have been busy drawing talisman arrays since they were born, and few of them have the mind to do business, so I have to run around with my old man for everything." Now the business of the beast is not as good as before, of course I want to try a different way of making money. ”

"In addition to the trap beasts, the Mo family can also send some people to help you transport goods. None of the people you know are simple, and my old man thinks that this deal will definitely not be lost. ”

Zhang Zhao came out of the ink wind room, and saw Jiang Ruhai hurriedly walking over with half of his face in his hand: "Brother Ruhai, are you okay?" Jiang Ruhai complained: "Big brother, you are running fast, how is the matter of the trap beast?"

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Jiang Ruhai was overjoyed: "It's really good, this thing is already half of the success." In the excitement, he even put down his hand, revealing a dark blue eye: "But we need too many people, and it's still a little troublesome." ”

In the next few days, Zhang Zhao didn't even come out of Hongfuju, and discussed business matters with Jiang Ruhai every day. In his spare time, he tried to play with the spirit Gu in his body according to Hua Mengyue's teachings, and communicated with it with various emotions.

The Hongfu Festival will not end until a while, and the Long family brothers and Lingxiao and a group of disciples are getting tired of playing around all day. Seeing that Zhang Zhao was only concerned about hiding in the house with Jiang Ruhai to discuss, he also guessed what they were planning.

On this morning, several old Bofang owners came together: "Zhang Shaoxia, thanks to your help this time, we have gained a lot." Zhang Zhao saw that they were all overjoyed, and couldn't help asking, "Have you encountered anything good?"

"Yesterday, the lord of the Hong Pavilion sent someone to invite him, and after several of us discussed with him, we all felt that it was okay to give up half of the business. Cui Lao Dong bowed deeply to Zhang Zhao: "If it weren't for the young man's righteous action, how would we get so many immortal crystals." ”

After knowing that they sold half of the business at a high price, Zhang Zhao unconsciously remembered what Hong Zhenyao said that day, and he understood that his toss was just to let a few Bofang sell more immortal crystals, which actually had no impact on the result.

When he was politely saying goodbye to several old owners, the brothers of the Long family walked over side by side: "Brother Zhang Zhao, the two of us will go back to Xuanmu City first, and then ask my father to send someone to your Lingxiao to propose marriage." ”

Zhang Zhao was surprised and delighted when he heard this: "Which senior sister is proposing to you?" Long Xiyang laughed: "I can't say it now, if we are rejected by others like you, then our brother will have no face." ”

After they and several old clubs rode away on the wind and fire qilin, Gu Yan and others also mentioned to Zhang Zhao about returning to Lingxiao. Zhang Zhao was about to find Jiang Ruhai to discuss, but saw him running from the city in a hurry.

"Big brother, why did we forget about the Desolate Clan?" Jiang Ruhai shouted as he ran: "Aren't you on good terms with that Forget the Sky? If you can let them have more people, wouldn't you even save the money for escorts." ”

Knowing that Zhang Zhao was visiting, Wangtian, who had obviously drunk a few glasses, greeted him in person: "Brother Blackface, are you here to find me to drink?" Zhang Zhao was quite surprised after explaining the reason: "Our people have little food over there, this thing sounds really good, it's just ......"

He pondered for a moment and laughed heroically: "Since our brothers can afford us, how can we not know how to lift, then it is so decided." But there's another thing, I look good at the big guys you won, can you give me one too?"

After sending Zhang Zhao and the others away, he returned to the room alone and sat down. He whispered to the old man with a cane who slowly appeared in front of him, "Forget the sky and don't understand, why do you trust him so much?"

The old man's voice fluttered: "Those who can use the Divine Stone will definitely bring good luck to our clan." He looked up slightly to the west: "If it weren't for the appearance of the Divine Stone in the wasteland decades ago, how could there be ten great sorcerers in our clan. ”

Wutian was taken aback: "Even you ......", the old man with a cane smiled and nodded at him: "Yes, it is the blessing of the Divine Stone that makes us a real great witch." Forget the sky let out a sigh: "In this case, no matter what happens in the future, I will promise him." ”

The matter on both sides of the Mo family's desolate clan has been agreed, and it will take two months to wait for the next two months, when all the thousands of machine beasts are made, and the desolate clan's manpower is deployed, this unprecedented cargo transportation business can be operated.

With Jiang Ruhai sending people to arrange trivial matters in various places, Zhang Zhao can certainly be more leisurely. He was about to go back with Gu Yan and the others when a servant from Hongfuju came in to report that Zhou Junxing of Xuanjin City was waiting outside to see him.

"Brother Zhang Zhao, I really wanted to make a bet with you last time in Hongyun Pavilion, but you also know the current situation in our Xuanjin City, even if you open your mouth, you will be humiliated. Zhou Junxing let out a long sigh: "It's really ashamed to thank you for your help but not to repay it." ”

The two politely said a few words, and Zhou Junxing turned to the topic: "Brother Zhang Zhao, I'm going back today." If you Lingxiao is fine, please come with me to Xuanjin City for a walk, and by the way, take a look at the scenery of Xuanjin Domain. ”

"There is no other meaning, now Xuanjin City is still the Zhou family in charge, if my brother needs any weapons and armor, I can still do my part. If it's another year or two, I'm just afraid of ......" He looked at Zhang Zhao and stood up with some hesitation: "It's okay not to go, I just want to say goodbye to you, and we'll have a date later." ”

Zhang Zhao raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, accept your kind invitation, of course Zhang Zhao wants to go." He walked out with Zhou Junxing: "I'll go and talk to Senior Brother Gu, let them go back to Lingxiao first." ”

Seeing Gu Yan and the others leave, Zhang Zhao and Jiang Ruhai agreed on a reunion date, and drove the Wind and Fire Qilin, which was a little sluggish in hind legs, to carry Zhou Junxing and two Xuanjin City elders, and ran along the west road.

On the city wall on one side, Wen Dengrong looked at the wind and fire qilin who was a little staggering and snorted coldly: "Are you right? It's that black-faced boy, you four will go and follow him for me, as soon as you leave the range of Hongfu City, you will immediately take his life." ”

An elderly silver-robed guard behind him hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Childe, when he was leaving, Mr. Second specially instructed that this time we are here to inquire about the news, and we must not make any extraneous branches." Wen Dengrong looked back coldly: "Then don't let my father know!"
