Jin Batian, who has been operating the Crazy Knife Gate in Aoki Town for decades, can be regarded as an old qualified person in this town, and he can give face wherever he goes, and he can be regarded as open, even if it is the three major families in Aoki Town.

One of the henchmen of the third prince of the Duan family is his disciple, and with this relationship, after Jin Batian entered the Duan family, he just let people inform, and the third son of the Duan family came to greet him in person.

After a while, a young man in a brocade robe, who was about in his early twenties, with a handsome face, a piece of jade pinned to his waist, and a long sword on his back, walked out quickly, arched his hand at Jin Batian, and said with a smile: "The master of the Golden Pavilion is here, the younger generation has missed the welcome, please forgive me." ”

Jin Batian hurriedly said: "Third son, don't say that, you can still come to greet me, a bad old man, it should be an honor for the old man." ”

This young man is Duan Ruikun, the third son of the Duan family. Jin Batian's attitude towards Duan Ruikun was very polite, don't look at the fact that the old head of the Duan family is no longer there, but no one in this Aoki Town really dares to underestimate the Duan family. In the past, when the head of the Duan family did not die, he was also in the realm of the Demon King, ranking one of the top ten masters in Aoki Town, and the order of the three major families in Aoki Town should be the Xiao family, the Duan family, and the Qin family.

But who would have thought that the old head of the Duan family was just over fifty years old, and he went mad because of his cultivation, and finally died. At that time, the Duan family had no head of the family, and everyone thought that the Duan family would decline like this, but who would have thought that the three sons of the Duan family stood up together, and each supported the family's business, both in strength and means, and was called the three heroes of the Duan family by the outside world.

At present, among the three brothers, except for Duan Ruikun who is still in the Demon Realm, the eldest and second eldest of the Duan family are both in the Great Demon Master Realm, if the three of them can step into the Demon King Realm in the future, then in Aoki Town, the Duan family will be able to compete with the Xiao family in the future.

When they arrived in the living room, Yahuan hurriedly served tea, and Duan Ruikun asked politely: "Is there something about the Jin Pavilion Master coming to me this time?" If there is something, you can just order it directly. Or let the disciples pass the word, and the juniors will arrive!"

Jin Batian smiled: "Does the third prince know the third Qin Shuai of the Qin family?"

Duan Ruikun's eyes showed a gloomy look and said, "Of course I know, speaking of which, I still have a little holiday with the third son of the Qin family!"

Some time ago, Qin Shuai killed his Duan family's descendants in Qingshi Town, which damaged the face of his Duan family, and the most important thing is that Duan Ruitian was also promoted by him, and he also gave him a surname, which is equivalent to slapping him in the face.

Duan Ruikun had the intention of revenge, but his eldest brother and his second brother warned him after knowing about this incident and told him not to act rashly. At present, their Li family does not have the Demon King realm after all, so they must be extremely low-key in doing things, and if they can not cause trouble, they will try not to cause trouble. Now it's time to recharge. The strength of developing your own family with peace of mind is the king, don't fight for a long time. Although Duan Ruikun was a little young and vigorous, he was not ignorant, so he endured this matter, but afterwards he also taught Duan Ruitian a hard lesson and threw it aside. He was not angry that he caused trouble in this Ruitian, but that he didn't know the strength and character of the other party after he caused trouble, which was just a waste.

Hearing that Duan Ruikun actually had some minor holidays with that Qin Shuai, Jin Batian was surprised, but he didn't ask too much, but he was overjoyed in his heart. On the surface, he told Duan Ruikun about the dispute between Qin Shuai and his grandson, and then he said directly: "Third prince, now that batch of ore is in my hands, if you want it, take the silver now." You don't have to be afraid of offending the Qin family, this matter is only aimed at that Qin Shuai, the Qin family has my own daughter to go around the activities, and I guarantee that it will not involve your Duan family, now it depends on whether you dare to eat those ores, third son. ”

Duan Ruikun's eyes showed a gleam, he had also heard about the infighting of the Qin family's generation, but their Duan family was brothers and harmonious, and they performed their own duties. So he saw it as a joke. I didn't expect that the inside of the Qin family had already become like this, this was simply a pit to death for the other party, even at the expense of outsiders. As a bargain picker, Duan Ruikun has been greedy for the Qin family's refined ores for a long time. The Qin family was too conservative in forging weapons, and the weapons they refined were too inferior, wasting such good materials in vain, and replacing them with the Duan family, the success rate was almost 100%, and the weapons refined were particularly good.

So Duan Ruikun didn't say a word, and said directly: "Pavilion Master, I want that batch of ore, 57,000 catties, and I will pay 70,000 taels of silver, which is 13,000 taels more than the market price." Among them, the extra 10,000 taels is a premium, and the other 3,000 taels should be regarded as inviting the owner of the Golden Pavilion to drink. ”

Jin Batian laughed and said: "Haha! Okay! Third son, you are refreshing enough! Just send someone to my martial arts hall to get the ore!"

Looking at Duan Ruikun, Jin Batian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the people of this family are coming, and they are better than his daughter. It was really the water spilled by the married daughter, and the girl didn't even think about whether the Qin family was at a loss, and she didn't ask him if he was short of silver as a father.

Since ancient times, it has been a poor scholar and rich martial arts, and Jin Batian's Crazy Sword Gate is so famous in Aoki Town, every apprentice is accepted, and the tuition fee alone is at least three taels per person per month, and even more than ten taels at most. And his mad knife sect has more than 100 students, and on average, he has at least close to a thousand taels of income per month.

But Jin Batian is also from a cultivation background after all, although his cultivation talent is too low, and he knows that he has no hope of stepping into the Demon Emperor, but how can he buy some medicinal materials that nourish qi and blood and prolong life, pills and the like. He didn't want to die so early. This is a big expense, and Jin Batian is short of money at any time.

Therefore, for these 70,000 taels of silver, Jin Batian was only ready to give 55,000 taels to the Qin family, anyway, the Qin family only recorded 52,000 catties of ore, which was 3,000 taels more than the market price, which was enough to explain to the Qin family.

When Duan Ruikun returned to the inner house, Duan Ruizhong, the eldest of the Duan family, and Duan Ruichuang, the second eldest of the Duan family, were all inside, and when they saw Duan Ruikun coming back, Duan Ruizhong asked: "Third brother, what is Jin Batian looking for you for? That's an old fox, the master who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, and we will definitely not take advantage of him when we interact with him." Don't take a loss. ”

Duan Ruikun laughed twice and said, "Big brother, you are wrong, this time that old man Jin really sent us benefits." ”

As he spoke, Duan Ruikun told his eldest brother and second brother what had happened. After listening, Duan Ruizhong and Duan Ruichuang both frowned, and finally the boss said in a deep voice: "Third brother, you have done this matter a little recklessly, we still shouldn't have any friction and conflict with the Qin family now." When my father died unexpectedly, my Duan family was able to persevere, not only because our three brothers fought for their own anger, but also because the Xiao family and the Qin family did not do anything to us.

Xiao Dongsheng, the head of the Xiao family, had just taken over the position of head of the family, and he beheaded several elders in a row to stabilize his position in the Xiao family, and he didn't have the time to care about the affairs of the outside world at all. And Qin Zongguang's old thing has been in retreat all day long, and he doesn't know what the hell he is doing, so he even turns a blind eye to my Duan family. It is precisely because of this that my Duan family has been able to persist until now, in case this matter really provokes Qin Zongguang, it will not be easy to handle. ”

Duan Ruikun shook his head indifferently and said, "Don't worry, big brother, Old Man Jin said that this time it was purely a matter that he made up for his grandson to win the position of the head of the family, and there are naturally people on the Qin family's side, and they can't provoke Qin Zongguang." ”

Duan Ruizhong thought for a while and said: "Having said that, but I am still a little worried, tomorrow you will go in person, and after getting that batch of ore, take the caravan to Liushi Town, and instruct the steward there to make this batch of ore into a blade directly there." ”

The Duan family is good at crafting blades, and they have shops not only in Aoki Town, but also in Liushi Town, which is close to the Malan Empire. After all, if you carry a large number of precious blades to and from Dangyang Mountain, their losses will be too great if they are robbed by bandits, so the blades sold to the Malan Empire are usually made from Liushi Town, which is convenient and fast.

In the early morning of the second day, Duan Ruikun led people to the Crazy Knife Gate to get the batch of ore. At this time, Li Youcheng, the steward of the Qin family's caravan, was crying and mourning, and even came to Qin Shuai.

Qin Shuai was cultivating at this time, and was suddenly interrupted by Li Youcheng, Qin Shuai said with an unkind face: "What happened? Now I will hand over the caravan to you to manage, and as soon as there is a problem, come to me, what use do I want from you? Is it time for the caravan manager to be replaced?"

Li Youcheng said with a sad face: "Third son, we really can't solve this matter." You also know the business boy we talked to the big merchant of the Malan Empire last time, but as a result, the family side sold the ore produced this month to someone else. It's a trivial matter if this business doesn't cost money, but behind the other party is also a big family within the empire, once we break the contract, this reputation will stink, and if the caravan wants to trade in Liushi Town, it will be very difficult. ”

Qin Shuai's face suddenly sank when he heard this, those few people in the Qin family are endless, who is it this time? Thinking of this, Qin Shuai's eyes faintly revealed a hint of murderous intent. If these guys don't make trouble for themselves, let Qin Shuai smoothly get the position of the heir of the head of the family, and step into the realm of the Demon Emperor after getting the resources of the Qin family, and raise it to a higher level, then he should leave Aoki Town, and whoever likes to sit in the position of the head of the family can sit. But as a result, now these people are jumping out one after another to do things, doing more and more excessively, and now they have reached the point where they want to trap him at the expense of the interests of the Qin family, this is simply looking for death!

"Who did it?" Feeling the murderous intent in Qin Shuai's eyes, Li Youcheng was frightened, and hurriedly whispered: "It's the third lady, the third lady sold that batch of ore to her father, Jin Batian, the owner of the Crazy Knife Gate." However, the villain heard that Jin Batian sold this batch of ore to the Duan family, and the third son of the Duan family took someone to get the goods early this morning. ”

"Duan family?" Qin Shuai's eyes showed a look of incomprehension. He had heard of the grievances between the Duan family and the people of the Qin family, and the Xiao family in Aoki Town had a transcendent status, but the Duan family and the Qin family were definitely hostile forces, but the third lady was now selling ore to the Duan family, so he was not afraid of angering Qin Zongguang? Anyway, no matter what, this matter could not be left like this.

Qin Shuai directly picked up the Nine Shadows Knife beside him, called Liu Yidao and the others, and more than a dozen people went to the Crazy Knife Gate together.
