Chapter 211: Senior Brother Goes Missing
Then, when the people of the Imperial City were basically accustomed to the heat being linked to Baitang as a daily routine, and they could already be calm about any shocking news, the notice put out by the auction house once again swept the entire Imperial City like a tornado, down to the common people, and up to the monarch were shocked.
What is the most shocking thing about the Imperial City coming in? War? No.
Although this war is a very historic game in the eyes of the upper bosses, it is a bit of a thunder and rain for the people who do not know the truth and have not been affected and persecuted.
Recently, of course, the most popular is the popularity of medicinal ornaments and medicinal cloths.
Before this, in fact, these two things did not appear, and some masters in the palace may actually have one or two on them.
However, because of their rarity, because of their preciousness, and because they are difficult to make, these things are basically classified as treasures equivalent to tribute, and ordinary people, even high-ranking families, rarely have the opportunity to get them. The auction house suddenly auctioned it, and it was rumored that it could be made and sold in batches, so you can imagine how much shock it caused.
In particular, this thing itself is really very practical, not like those treasures that are valued by being rare and expensive, whether this thing will be turned into an ordinary item by one person at that time, but its effect will not reduce its value.
In general, it is this thing that meets consumer demand, and anything, only consumer demand, has market potential.
Don't look at the sky-high price of the previous auction, as long as you have brains and long eyes, you can see the terrible potential under this business line.
The news announced by the auction house is similar to the project bidding cooperation that will be commonly seen in the future business.
As a developer, Bai Tang will authorize these things to the winning bidder for business and production, and there is no need to even hang her name, but the developer will use it as a form of technology shareholding, accounting for two percent of the profit of this thing, which is actually the patent fee.
In other words, in the future, as long as these five families make anything through the formula, they must give her 20% of the total amount sold.
On the surface, everyone thinks that Bai Tang's practice is simply giving money to others, no matter how much two percent of the profit is, can it be compared with ten percent of the profit? If she had done it herself, wouldn't the benefits be hers.
As for whether Bai Tang has the ability to develop several business lines, not many people will doubt the possibility, after all, the background behind the other party is unusual, even if it is to cooperate with the royal family, she can get much more benefits than now.
But there are also some people with active brains who quickly understand Bai Tang's intentions.
The so-called the higher she stands, the worse she falls, she has too many things at hand now, although it is not enough to say that she is high in merit, rich and rivals the country, and the monarch is willing to be her backing, but what about the future.
The more she has, the more jealous and coveted she will be.
As for why he didn't cooperate with the royal family, a few people who saw it well also understood.
If Bai Tang doesn't want to completely merge with the royal family and bind him for life, then it's best not to cooperate with the royal family for everything, so that he will only be reduced to working for the royal family in the end.
As for cooperating with other merchant forces, although on the surface it seems that there are not many benefits, but from a few business lines, you can know how terrible the future income is, and Bai Tang doesn't have to do anything to sit on the benefits, not to mention that as long as Bai Tang does not unilaterally terminate the contract, then this contract will go on for generations, which means that the few companies that accept the business line will be unconsciously bound to her.
Therefore, many people who want to understand the truth begin to think calmly after being excited and excited.
Bai Tang is currently bound to the Nine Emperor Princes, if they are bound to Bai Tang, then even if their intentions are not to stand, they will be classified as the Nine Emperor Princes.
Throughout the ages, every time a dynasty succeeds to the throne, it has to go through a storm of wind and rain, and it can almost be said that it is an imperial road made of white bones.
Standing right, maybe your own family can also leap into the dragon gate and enjoy wealth forever, of course, it may also be the end of the rabbit and the dog.
But if you stand wrong, it will be a catastrophe and there will be no future.
Therefore, many people would rather be neutral, and may not be reused by the new emperor in the future, rather than take a position, the risk is too great.
Therefore, many families did not go to the bidding lot under the thought of it, but the merchants went enthusiastically.
Businessmen who seek profit and seek wealth and danger can also see through the doorway, but for them, it is an opportunity.
Business is at the bottom of the rankings, unless you can make it rich, otherwise that's it.
Standing is an opportunity for them, knowing how many businessmen are willing to hold all their wealth and get the opportunity to stand in line.
They work hard all their lives, and sometimes they can't fight for a magistrate with a lot of money, and they will be scattered with their wealth and tremble all their lives.
Failure and success are all open to them, and if they succeed, that is, they will go straight to the top, and if they fail, they may have similar endings to the future, so why not fight hard.
Therefore, at the auction, almost half of the people were merchants, although many families also sent people, but they basically came to wait and see, except for some who had already made a clear position in their hearts.
The auction of the five business lines is not a dead auction, and Bai Tang, who has the patent right, has the right to withdraw the business line and then auction it again in the event of the complete failure of the other party's operation.
Therefore, many businessmen who came to participate in it have also been measured and considered by their own parties, and if the comprehensive strength is insufficient, they still do not participate, so as not to be torn off by people with intentions and end up with nothing.
At the auction house, the auctioneer also directly announced that the medicine cloth had been decided by the county lord of Yutang and sold to the Qian family.
This made many people grit their teeth at the back door of the Qian family, but they were helpless, because the county lord of Yutang would directly announce this matter publicly, which was to tactfully tell everyone that the Qian family was covered by her.
This can be regarded as an escort for the future operation of the Qian family.
After all, this business line is recyclable, so will there be people who can't shoot it will deliberately harm the people who take it, and when Baitang is recycled and auctioned, they will also have a chance.
This point was not from Bai Tang, but Xin Yi came up with it, in order to stimulate and motivate the people who were photographed, it also vaguely forced them to move closer to Bai Tang's side, seek a fart beard, and get on the ship faster.
As for Bai Tang, who once again became the hot topic of the imperial city, he didn't care about it after completely handing over this matter to Xin Yi, and after dealing with the matter of the medicine shop, he took a few days off with the Queen Mother, and then took Lou Qingqing and Wei Yuan back to Zongyang Medical Valley quickly.
Because she received a letter from the Great Elder, saying that Senior Brother Yan Xingzhi was missing, and his Emerald Beetle Life Gu had also died.
Every Medicine Valley disciple's beetle beetle is not only for the convenience of communication and prevention of Gu worms, but also like a life card.
After each beetle is made, a life Gu similar to an insect egg will be extracted from its body, and if the beetle dies, then the egg will quickly dry up and lose its vitality.
The Great Elder said that Yan Xingzhi's Beetle Destiny Gu didn't know when it died, because the disciples who were guarding the Destiny Gu Pavilion didn't check it and hadn't paid attention to it, so they couldn't determine the time of death.
Now they just don't know if Yan Xingzhi is just the death of the beetle or if something happened to him.
After all, the beetle is also connected to the owner by blood, once the owner dies, the beetle will also die, but if it is only the beetle that dies unilaterally, the owner will not have any effect.
At this time, the old man of Tiansheng seemed to have retreated directly after realizing the new recipe sent by Bai Tang a few days ago, and he didn't know how his retreat was, and no one dared to disturb him, so the great elder found Bai Tang, the young valley master and Yan Xingzhi's direct junior sister.
Zongyang Medical Valley is located in a mountain range in the central region of the southern part of the Wei Kingdom, and it is only a few days' journey from the imperial city.
When they arrived at the Medical Valley, it had been three days, and they directly entered the core of the Medical Valley through a special passage and met the Great Elder.
The Great Elder briefly explained the matter again, and then took out the small jade box containing the Destiny Gu and handed it to Bai Tang.
Bai Tang opened it, looked at the life Gu that had been shriveled like roasted soybean grains, his hand trembled slightly, then pursed his lips, and quickly scanned it with the system.
According to the terrifying judgment of the system, the death time of the Fate Gu was at least fifteen days or more, which means that the senior brother may have had an accident half a month ago.
Because if it was just a simple beetle death, with the cautious nature of the senior brother, if it was inconvenient for him, he would also find a way to send a letter to explain the situation.
"Great Elder, I wonder if you know Senior Brother's recent location and itinerary?"
The Great Elder had worry on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he had obviously checked all the matters, and said, "Xingzhi's trip is not a simple force, but seems to have been invited by a friend, but he didn't elaborate, and the last place he could find out was Qingfeng Cliff, it seems that a friend invited him to watch the triennial inner door Dabi in Qingfeng Cliff, and the old man also sent a letter to Qingfeng Cliff, but it will take about two days to receive a reply." ”
"Could it be that the person who invited him is someone from Qingfeng Cliff?"
"There is a possibility, but if he has an accident at Qingfeng Cliff, Qingfeng Cliff will definitely send someone to send news over."
"Maybe the news is still on the way, or maybe the person who sent the news had an accident on the way, so it's better to send someone over there to ask." Lou Qingqing was eager, and couldn't help but speak, although she was a loyal fan sister of Bai Tang, she could be regarded as a fan of the senior brother.
In other words, more than eighty percent of the female disciples in the Medical Valley are Yan Xingzhi's fan sisters, and there are not a few fan brothers, which is why everyone rebounded so badly when Bai Tang was announced to be the master of the Young Valley.
If it weren't for the protection of the Heavenly Sage Old Man and Yan Xingzhi's operation in it, if Bai Tang relied on his strength alone, it would have taken a longer time for the position of the Young Valley Lord to sit firmly.
It can be seen that Yan Xingzhi's status in the valley, if the news of his accident comes out, I am afraid that he will be shocked by the medical valley.
The Great Elder knew about this situation, so now the news was suppressed by him, and at the same time, he secretly arranged to restrain the actions and schedules of the disciples in the valley.
"I'll go to Qingfeng Cliff, I can't always say it clearly in the letter." Bai Tang thought about it, then put away the jade box and said to the Great Elder.
"This, fine, but bring a few people." The Great Elder thought for a moment and nodded.
He also knew Bai Tang's strength, but there was a mountain and a mountain high, and her current identity and reputation were not ordinary, in order to prevent accidents, the Great Elder still had to arrange some people to accompany her to protect her.
However, he was rejected by Bai Tang.
"It's easy to startle a snake when there are too many people, I will go with ease, as long as the news won't leak here, it should be fine."
"This ......" the Great Elder twisted his eyebrows, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Don't worry, Grand Elder."
"Okay, then the young valley master must remember to be careful, after all, you are the young valley master."
"I will." Bai Tang nodded.
"I'm going too." Lou Qingqing hurriedly raised his hand.
"What are you going to do, are you going to make a mess? You've been in the limelight lately, so it's time to settle down and stay in the valley. The Great Elder directly rejected the request.
Lou Qingqing suddenly turned blue with anger, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Bai Tang also patted her on the shoulder and asked her to help take care of Wei Yuan in the valley.
If Yan Xingzhi really had an accident at Qingfeng Cliff, or encountered any danger, he couldn't resist it with his ability, then Lou Qingqing would also be in danger.
Lou Qingqing has always listened to Bai Tang's words the most, more than his grandfather, although he was a little unwilling to hear the words, he still agreed aggrievedly.
As a result, Lou Qingqing agreed, but Wei Yuan didn't agree, and he must follow Bai Tang.
Wei Yuan grinds people, sometimes Bai Tang can't parry, plus this girl has a history of stealing, it's hard to guarantee that she won't find a way to sneak away after she leaves, but instead falls into danger, and finally takes her with her.
And with her, he also brought Lou Qingqing, plus an elder arranged by the Great Elder, disguised as a bunch of sisters from a certain family to travel with servants.
Qingfeng Cliff is a thousand kilometers away on the north side of a group, and it can be said that it has left the territory of Wei, but it does not belong to the territory of any country.
On the Qingfeng cliff is located an ancient sect, which is the Qingfeng school.
This sect is not outstanding in today's martial arts rankings, but it is better than a profound foundation, which can be traced back to more than 2,000 years, and it is said that the early Qingfeng faction was the cultivation of immortals, and later for many reasons the inheritance of cultivating immortals was broken.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and the Qingfeng faction has indeed existed for more than 2,000 years, and even once as a sect that gave birth to national teachers, the national teachers of many countries are from the Qingfeng faction, which can be described as hand-eyed and extremely expensive.
But later, after the continuous change of imperial power, the Qingfeng faction was involved in the war again and again, and finally continued to weaken its rights, especially after the establishment of the Wei dynasty, the first monarch was afraid of the Qingfeng faction, so he began to suppress intentionally or unintentionally, and finally directly forced the Qingfeng faction out of the imperial court, so that it completely became a Jianghu sect, and was not allowed to meddle in anything in the imperial court.
Because the Qingfeng faction had a close relationship with the imperial court, it was also a little out of place in Jianghu, so it simply went into hiding, and it was only in recent decades that it began to reopen the mountain and accept apprentices and become famous in the rivers and lakes.
