Chapter 82: The Seven Elders
Fu Ran's nod agreed, and the fine scales acquiesced, and the two followed the young man to the Luoshan Palace.
Looking at the man in front of him, Fu Ran was slightly disappointed, it is said that the King of the Falling Mountain once fought for the empire in the south and the north, and made great contributions, in his imagination, he should be seven feet tall, with a powerful body, and his eyes were wide open, but it was not like this at all, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a traitor.
But Fu Ran knew that among the many county kings in Gar, the most loyal was the king of the mountain in front of him, as a relative of the emperor, he had different rights from other county kings.
When Fu Ran looked at the King of the Falling Mountain, the latter's gaze also fell on him, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow.
"It was the two of you who assassinated the commander Luo Tong?"
The King of the Falling Mountain opened his mouth indifferently, but he was extremely sharp, straight to the point, without any tentative words, which made Fu Ran's eyes stare at him, worthy of being the king of a county.
"I wonder if there is any evidence for the King of the Falling Mountain?" asked Thin Scales softly, her voice neither humble nor arrogant.
His gaze fell on the fine scales, and the King of the Falling Mountain nodded lightly, and said, "Seeing that I don't have any emotional changes, it seems that you should have some identity." ”
After speaking, the eyes of the King of the Falling Mountain fell on Fu Ran again, for the fine scales, not to mention whether there is a background or not, the strength of the Zong Xuan Realm alone is the background, on the other hand, Fu Ran is more relaxed than the fine scales, and there is no sense of tension, obviously not because of the strength of the Yuan Xuan Realm.
"Boy, you have the smell of a soldier, and you don't seem to be afraid at all, aren't you afraid that I will take your life on a whim?" said the King of the Falling Mountain with great interest.
Fu Ran chuckled and shook his head, looking careless, he didn't think much of the words of the Falling Mountain King, only when he was mentioned that he had a military taste, his eyes unconsciously changed, but it was fleeting.
"You won't do that, or you can't do it. ”
The King of the Falling Mountain raised his eyebrows, Fu Ran's words were like a joke, but his attitude was extremely hard and a little arrogant, as if there were other things contained in it, which he couldn't see through.
"Why do you say that?" The King of the Falling Mountain was also interested by Fu Ran.
"Why don't you try?"
When Fu Ran's voice fell, he instantly felt a change in the aura in the hall, and the source of this change was the young man and the others, but the King of the Falling Mountain was present, so they were naturally not qualified to speak, but the eyes staring at Fu Ran were all hostile.
The King of the Falling Mountain was silent, staring at Fu Ran like this, and Fu Ran didn't care about the hostility of the young people around him, and looked leisurely and complacent.
The atmosphere is so deadlocked, what makes the young man and others puzzled is that there seems to be something wrong with the king of the mountain today, if it was before, it would have given the other party so much time, take it directly, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go.
After a few moments, the stalemate was finally broken by a hearty laugh.
"It turns out that Xiaoyou is here at the King of the Falling Mountain, let me find the old man. ”
When the voice fell, except for Fu Ran, everyone's eyes looked out, and they just saw an old man walking with steps, and when they recognized this old man, everyone's faces changed.
The old man came to the hall, hugged his fist at the king of the mountain, and said, "The old man came uninvited, and I hope that the king of the mountain will not be blamed." ”
Hearing this, the King of the Falling Mountain stopped and said, "Where are the seven elders, you can come as a guest, this king is too late to be happy, how can there be blame." ”
The young man and the others were all holding their fists at the old man, and they couldn't understand the latter's identity, not only did they have the strength of the half-step soul realm, but they were also the seven elders of the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce, and even the king of the falling mountain had to be polite, not to mention them.
The old man nodded, and then his eyes fell on Fu Ran, his eyes were shining, and he looked at the King of the Falling Mountain, and said: "I heard about the matter of the Luo Tong commander as soon as I returned to the Falling Mountain City, so I hurriedly came, this little friend is guaranteed by me, I don't know the prince's side."
This old man is naturally the shopkeeper who has traded with Fu Ran, and he is also the seventh elder of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the president of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce in Luoshan City, and he has a pivotal position in the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce.
Fu Ran also heard something from the words of the Falling Mountain King, and glanced at the old man curiously, he had already guessed that this old man was a member of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and he should have a high status, but he didn't expect that the other party would be the seventh elder of the top ten elders of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce.
However, after thinking about it, I am also relieved, the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce has ten elders and a hundred deacons, and these people are usually distributed in various cities of the Gar Empire to manage the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and only when something major happens, these people will gather in the imperial capital.
The appearance of the Seven Elders was a surprise to the King of the Falling Mountain, and the statement of guaranteeing Fu Ran at this moment made it even more difficult for him to understand the reason, the Seven Elders are the president of the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce in the Falling Mountain City, and the King of the Falling Mountain still knows a little about him, this person has a quirky personality and is difficult to get along with people, but judging from the attitude towards Fu Ran when he enters the door, he obviously has the meaning of being a friend of the same generation.
"Old man, it looks like you've found something. ”
Fu Ran was not surprised by the appearance of the Seven Elders, but he was unexpected, the other party's speed was too fast, he was only brought to the palace on his front foot, and the latter arrived in a moment, and he must have found out something, worthy of the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce.
"I'm halfway there, but that's enough. The Seventh Elder smiled.
"Are you planning to befriend me?" Fu Ran asked knowingly.
"Little friend, you are signaling to the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and we will naturally comply. ”
At the same time as he spoke, the Seven Elders looked at the Falling Mountain King out of the corner of their eyes, and then looked at Fu Ran in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart, so calculating, when the Falling Mountain King did not express his attitude, Fu Ran deliberately said this, in order to make the Falling Mountain King jealous, and even finally gave up the investigation of him.
"It seems that this kid has a master behind him. The Seventh Elder said secretly.
The truth that the Seven Elders can understand, why doesn't the King of the Falling Mountain understand, he doesn't say anything It is precisely because the appearance of the Seven Elders makes Fu Ran's identity even more confusing, and he also heard something from the words of the Seven Elders, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and said with a smile: "Since the Seven Elders protect people, this king naturally wants to give the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce this face, you can take these two people away!"
Although the young man and the others were dissatisfied with the Falling Mountain King's move, they didn't dare to show the slightest, but it was the seven elders of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce who came, and they instantly expanded the matter to another level.
Hearing this, the Seven Elders sneered in their hearts, it was obvious that he was asking for someone, but the King of the Falling Mountain proposed the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, planning to ask for a favor from the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Seventh Elder thought so, he also nodded and said, "Then I have recorded this matter in the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce." ”
Fist to the King of the Falling Mountain, and then the Seven Elders left with Fu Ran and the two of them.
At the same time as Fu Ran and the three left, a young girl came from the back hall, looked at the backs of Fu Ran and the three of them, her eyes fell on Fu Ran, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.
"Pearl, what's the matter?" asked the king of the falling mountain to the girl.
"It's nothing, the kid's back is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it. The girl tried to remember, but to no avail.
Before the king of the mountain could speak, the young man saw the backs of Fu Ran and the three of them disappear, and immediately said, "Lord Wang, is this matter settled? These two are very likely to be the murderers of Luo Tong." ”
The King of the Falling Mountain glanced at the young man, and said expressionlessly: "That woman has some lack of Xuan power, she should have experienced a big war, but that kid has no problem, she is full of Xuan power, and her arm is not injured, it's just our guess how to take people?
The young man wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally turned into a sigh, indeed, this matter involves the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce, even if the other two are murderers, the king of the mountain has to consider the consequences.
"That's it, you should also understand that Luo Tong is a person, if you don't look at the fact that he has been with me for more than ten years, even if others don't make a move, I will punish them, as for the two people just now, you don't have to provoke them again. The King of the Falling Mountain said in a deep voice.
After leaving the palace, the eyes of the fine scales never left Fu Ran, and he understood why Fu Ran was fearless, he had long known that the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce would come forward, but it was hard to believe that all this was in his calculations, this was not the heart of an eleven or twelve-year-old at all.
Of course, all this was not Fu Ran's calculation, he did deliberately attract the attention of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce at first, but his purpose was not for the appearance of the Seven Elders today, it was just a coincidence.
