Chapter 317: Lucky Meeting
He never worries about his safety. The Northern Union is a country with peace and security, the people live a prosperous life, and the security of the capital is even more to the point of not closing the door at night. Even so, the Janissaries of the Royal City, who were in charge of law and order in Weiyang City, did not relax in the slightest, and under the strict supervision of their commander Admiral Feng Zhan, they supervised the streets and alleys of Weiyang City day and night. The people said that under Feng Zhan's management, Weiyang City seemed to have a lot fewer rats.
Besides, Wang Xilun's personal bodyguard Nokan is a master at the late stage of the bone underworld, and everyone in this city knows how powerful he is, and no one dares to provoke him. Therefore, Wang Xilun couldn't think of anyone who would threaten him in this world.
Even the recent war did not affect him. Almost any commercial transaction in Black Cloud City needs to go to Qinglan City in the eastern part of the Northern Alliance to trade, and it is only there. Qinglan City is the main gold coin circulation market, and it is the only place where you can buy many of the necessities that Black Cloud City needs.
These necessities of life are either not produced by Black Cloud City itself, or they are produced in very small quantities, the most important of which are grain, cloth, and various meat and non-staple foods. If you want to trade, you have to pay taxes.
Qinglan City was far inland in the Northern Alliance, and Black Cloud City's hand couldn't reach here at all. So even though the country fought a lost war, he was not at all worried about what would happen to his interests. After all, even if Black Cloud City was lucky enough to win, it would be impossible for it to continue to fight with the Northern Alliance, and everyone could see their population, soldiers, and national wealth there.
That night, accompanied by Nokan, he left again and came to the Shang Wang's Mansion to the small building in Huayuan Lane. As usual, he used the key to open the iron gate of the small courtyard, but he didn't see the maid Chun'er come out to meet him. Maybe he was sent out to buy something, right? I've been like this before. Thinking like this, he led Nokan himself into the door of the small building.
"I want to surprise Yan Zi. Scared her a little. Thinking of Yan Zi's surprised appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a hint of a smile.
Wang Xilun went directly to Yan Zi's bedroom on the second floor. Pushing open the door, I saw her sitting on the bed in the light, looking at him with a frightened expression, not at all surprised, as if she had known that he was coming.
Then he saw Chun'er fall to the ground, as if she had fainted. And in the room stood a few other people, tall and low—a few strangers who exuded murderous air.
Wang Xilun didn't even react to what was going on in front of him, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask who these people were and what they wanted to do here. But Nokan had already begun to act, and he released the Dao Soul on his body with a bang. It was the last thing he could do in his life.
Next, his other little girl raised her hand. Wang Xilun could see very clearly that what the kid was holding in his hand was a delicate small crossbow that he had never seen before.
With a soft crossbow sound, the powerful crossbow arrow instantly pierced Nokan's skull and the brick wall behind him. He didn't even get out of a snort, and his head jerked back and he lay down on the wooden floor.
"Lord Wang, fortunately!" looked at him calmly with his eyes, and said, "Down there is Luo Ming, the Taiwei of Black Cloud City. ”
Wang Xilun didn't believe his eyes a little. Everywhere he goes, people only have respect and fear. With Nokan here, Wang Xilun is Longtan Tiger's Den, and he dares to take a trip. But the kid's subordinate in front of him killed Nokan as soon as he raised his hand. It's incredible. Wang Xilun's eyes stared at the fallen Nokan, as if he didn't believe that he would die.
Even with Luo Ming's current strength, when he used the "Death Breath", even a master at the peak level of the late stage of the Bone Immortal Dynasty might not dare to say big things to block his crossbow arrows empty-handed, let alone Xiao Yu.
Because this weapon is so perverted.
Someone walked over and patted Wang Xilun's shoulder gently, which woke him up. "Sit down. The man said. Another person stuffed a chair under his buttocks, and Wang Xilun sat down with trembling legs.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Wang Xilun found hard to believe that the ugly voice came from his own mouth.
"We know very well that you, the bodyguard, are secretly killing too many people. And he is a dead soldier, as long as there is a breath of air, he will fight to the end. So we had to kill him. Luo Ming looked at the corpse on the ground, and seemed to feel some regret and guilt. "The maid just fainted, and in a moment she would wake up on her own. ”
Luo Ming turned his head to look at Wang Xilun and began to get down to business: "Lord Wang, I know that you have managed the market for many years, and I don't want to make irresponsible remarks about this matter. If there is no one to manage the market, there may be some chaos. Since everyone acknowledges some rules, we can't say anything. But our Black Cloud City is poor and white, and your tax rate for us is too high, and this must be adjusted. We hope that Mr. Wang will consider our request. ”
Wang Xilun was almost stupid at first, looking at the room of people in a daze, and after listening to Luo Ming's words, his heart finally fell back into his stomach: "Fucking everyone says that this little devil is a demon, whoever meets him will be moldy for eight lifetimes." It doesn't look good today. This kid now has absolute control, and he should say anything cruel, so why is it still in the tone of discussion? And he doesn't ask me to cancel the tax rate, as long as I make adjustments?"
After all, he is a financial old crocodile who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his brain turned quickly at this time: "After all, he is a child, and he has no experience." In such a threatened situation, people will actually agree to any conditions. If it were me, I wouldn't believe any of the opponent's nonsense in this situation, even if I swore by his wife, it would be false. Who will recognize you when you go out? It seems that this little guy is still tender, and when the old man comes out of this door, you won't think you can catch me again in the future, hum. ”
He thought so in his heart, but said respectfully: "Yes, yes, the old man has also thought about this problem. Guiheiyun City is really too thin, so the transaction taxes and fees may be overwhelmed. The old man mentioned this matter many times at the management meeting, but there was a lot of resistance. Since the Taiwei solemnly raised this matter today, the old man will definitely do his best to help your country handle this matter well. ”
"That being the case, then we are waiting for your good news. Luo Mingke politely waved his hand outward, made a gesture of sending off guests, and suddenly said: "Given that your old man is usually busy, I don't have time to stay here longer."
