Chapter I

Sending someone to escort away the old man Deng who was in tears, trembling, and distressed, Zhou Yue was smiling, sister, five thousand gold extortion is in hand, at least five gold-armored warriors can be recruited!

"Congratulations, congratulations. 【Crossing the Crossing】【Start】"

At this time, Xiao Guanyin, who was standing on the side, smiled and congratulated Zhou Yue.

"What's the joy? Commander Xiao, wouldn't it be because you saw that I successfully extorted 5,000 gold, so you want to add the icing on the cake and contribute another 5,000 gold to me? Zhou Yue was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but joke.

Xiao Guanyin was stunned for a moment, but smiled again: "It can make the lord happy, what is five thousand gold, even if he makes his subordinates bankrupt, he is willing to do so!" However, the congratulations that the subordinates said were not the lord's 10,000 gold at once, but the ranger, the lord not only resolved the kidnapping crisis today, but also took advantage of the situation to deter such an arrogant master, isn't it a great joy? ”

"Ugh! Is this it? Not necessarily, Commander Xiao, I see that Gongsun Erniang is leaving in a hurry, I can only count on her not to be annoyed and ashamed, it is already a blessing in misfortune, where is it so exaggerated as you say, a great happy event, it seems that she will cry and shout to marry me, but then again, you really plan to give me 5,000 gold, if you want me to say, this is a great joy, worthy of celebration in the city! Zhou Yue touched his chin and said, he is not optimistic about the strategy of Gongsun Erniang now, -10 points of favorability, I am afraid that I will not even have a chance to step forward and say a word of flattery.

Hearing Zhou Yue's words, Xiao Guanyin just pursed his lips and smiled, and then stopped mentioning the matter, "Back to the lord, my subordinates are ashamed, knowing that the lord is now short of money and food, but he doesn't know how to solve his worries, which is really a sin, so I offer five thousand gold, and I am willing to relieve my worries for the lord." ”

"Why do you have to say it so politely, it's all a family, if your 5,000 gold is really tight, you don't have to be reluctant, you have a big family to support, I can't bear to let you eat bran vegetables every day-" Zhou Yue was happy in his heart, and said casually, but halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized that it was inappropriate, and his heart was beating for a while, for fear that Xiao Guanyin would also lose his favorability, so he hurriedly explained: "Ahem, that's what I meant, don't get me wrong!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding, my subordinates understand." Xiao Guanyin's face was also slightly red, but he didn't say anything more.

However, what made Zhou Yue excited was that the information reminded that his favorability towards Xiao Guanyin had risen by three points again, and it was currently 37 points, which was not easy, of course, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and he didn't have time to think so much.

At that moment, Zhou Yue immediately took people back to Heicheng, but on the way, he still asked again: "Commander Xiao, you say, how can we take that Gongsun Erniang for our own use?" ”

"It depends on what the lord thinks, if you want to accept him as a general, let him lead the soldiers and horses for you, and crisscross the battlefield, it is absolutely impossible, those rangers, nature likes freedom, do not want to be restrained, the north and south of the river, within the four seas, are the places where they go, unless the relationship with you is very good, they will never stay in one place for too long, but, this time, that Gongsun Erniang should have a good chance to stop in our black city, as long as the lord you completely convince her, she may be willing to open a martial arts hall here, Training ranger swordsmen for you, of course, the best case is that you can take her into the room, so that it is much easier to use, but, in my opinion, the lord must not have this kind of thought, they are all arrogant, and other idlers can't fall into their eyes, if the lord is trapped by love, it is not conducive to the great cause! The above is just the heartfelt words of the subordinates, if there is any abruptness, please also ask the Lord to punish him. ”

Xiao Guanyin said it very naturally, but Zhou Yue made a big red face, where is this? Is he so much like a **** person? However, this kind of thing is difficult to explain, so he immediately continued to change the subject.

"Ahem! What is a martial arts hall? And what is a swordsman? Occupation? ”

Xiao Guanyin lowered his head and smiled silently, and then replied: "Returning to the lord, yes, the swordsman is a special profession, not the kind of ordinary profession that kills the enemy in the battle array, so there needs to be a martial arts hall to change jobs, a swordsman, if the qualification is very good, they usually choose to become a ranger, if the qualification is low, they will choose to become a dart master, set up a dart game, and in the black city, there is a dart game, which is very important, they can protect the business travel, maintain the smooth flow of trade routes, and increase the prosperity of the black city." ”

"I see, then, Commander Xiao, you are a woman, this matter will be handled by you, if that Gongsun Erniang does not leave, you must find a way to keep her, well, gold is not a problem, conditions are not a problem, you can go to negotiate, even if I am asked to apologize to her." Zhou Yue nodded and said, he is now the same as Liu Yue, he can't listen to the problems related to the prosperity of the black city, now that Panjin Black City has become a three-star black city, the benefits are already so, if it is upgraded to a four-star black city, then maybe he will be able to withstand the Tang Dynasty that is about to move.

In the final analysis, in the face of such a peerless behemoth, no amount of preparation is enough.

"Yes, if your subordinates obey your orders, you will live up to your lord's trust! However, if the lord really apologizes sincerely, it is better to give some expensive gifts, so as to show sincerity. Xiao Guanyin did not refuse.

"Yes, you are fully responsible, and I will ask Old Man Deng to send you the 5,000 gold ransom when I go back, and you can choose." Zhou Yue doesn't care about the authenticity, as long as he can keep Gongsun Erniang, it will be worth it for another 10,000 gold.

"No, the gifts purchased by subordinates don't represent the sincerity of the lord, it's better for the lord to buy it yourself." Xiao Guanyin shook his head with a smile.

"Oh, that's it, okay, then I'll go to the neutral business!" Zhou Yue nodded, he remembered that as long as he was equipped with the title of world prestige and went to a neutral firm, he had a certain chance of buying special items, and he had not had time to go because he was very busy in the past, and this time it happened to be by the way.

All the way back to Heicheng, Zhou Yue did not stop, accompanied by Xiao Guanyin, and rushed to the neutral firm located in the southeast square.

This southeast square was only opened more than ten days ago, and it was still barren before, but in this short period of time, it has become very prosperous, the streets are neat, pedestrians are shuttled, and there are magnificent buildings on both sides of the street, these are the businesses that have settled in the recent period, including what ****, medical halls, restaurants, inns, shops and the like, and among them, the most conspicuous is the neutral firm.

This made Zhou Yue very surprised, unexpectedly, this neutral firm is so wealthy, the front and back are enough to occupy a small half of the street, there are three three-story pavilions in a row, and behind this pavilion, there is a long line of deep mansion compounds, the overall area is more than 200 acres.

"Sister, what a style! Why is this neutral firm so rich, it seems that they are the key targets who should be robbed! ”

Standing outside the magnificent neutral firm at this moment, Zhou Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Lord, be cautious, the neutral firm has deep roots and big leaves, in the north and south of the river, the grassland outside the Saiwai, and even the legend in the far west and north, there are branches, the origin of the master behind it is mysterious, unfathomable, even the Great Qin Empire, the Han Empire, and the Tang Empire are polite to them, you must not have any ideas, and the main reason why they have built such a grand style here is that the black city where we are located is the only three-star black city within a radius of two thousand miles, so this is an honor, according to the city lord of Liuyue, every day, just because of this neutral firm, it can bring about 100 points of prosperity to the black city, and it can't be neglected. Xiao Guanyin hurriedly explained to Zhou Yue in a low voice at this moment.

And Zhou Yue was dumbfounded when he heard it, Niang Xipi, no wonder this neutral firm was so bullish at the beginning, he already felt that something was wrong, maybe the owner of this neutral firm was the black hand behind the entire black city, otherwise, why is it so arrogant, there are branches all over the world?

As soon as he thought of this, although Zhou Yue was not angry in his heart, he immediately put away his slack thoughts and did not dare to be careless.

"Let's go in and have a look." Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yue walked in with a mentality of facing the ultimate boss, looking at death as if he were at home.

However, when he walked to the entrance of the low-key but luxurious trading house, two messages appeared in Zhou Yue's mind.

"Number 1803453232233, increase your friendship with the Neutral Comptoir by 1."

"Numbered 1803453232233, according to the title of 'Famous Quartet' you equipped, you will enjoy a 20% discount when you buy any material in a neutral firm, and there is a certain chance that you can buy special items."

……

Okay, yes, Zhou Yue was very satisfied, and at this time, in the spacious hall of this trading house, there were two guys who stepped forward very enthusiastically to give a salute, which made him very useful, because if he remembered correctly, when he entered that neutral trading house in Jinzhou, not only the shopkeeper, but even the young man ignored him, this is a world of difference!

Inside this huge trading house, there are not many people, sparse and sparse, and most of them are men of the commercial bank, which is difficult for Zhou Yue to think of the scale of this commercial bank, after all, this is also the head office of a neutral commercial bank within a radius of 2,000 miles, how can it be so shabby?

However, this thought Zhou Yue only passed by in a flash, because he also knew that he could not compare the shopping mall before the disaster with this place.

"It turned out to be the lord of the city, he was old and polite, and the lord of the city was able to come to this firm in person in the midst of all the opportunities, it really made me wait for the honor, Ah Da, serve tea."

At this time, a gray-bearded old man walked out from the innermost, and said from a distance, his voice was flat, and his bearing was extraordinary, which had nothing to do with that kind of flattering businessman.

But this already made Zhou Yue very satisfied, he didn't dare to ask too much, because he quietly put an insight on the old man, but all he saw was question marks, and he couldn't even know his name, and what's worse was that the old man's eyes flashed at that moment, and he seemed to notice Zhou Yue's small movements, which made him almost scared into a cold sweat! ~

This neutral trading house is really deep, and it is definitely the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
