Chapter 13: Cooperation
In the single room on the third floor of the Moon Tower, Gu Chen and Wen Siye sat as guests, and the table was full of newly made dishes.
"Come, four little brothers, let's have a drink first, and then do it first. Wen Xinliu raised his glass and said to Gu Chen and the four of them.
"Wen Siye is polite, speaking of which, you are a senior, and I should respect you. Gu Chen raised his glass and said.
"Then let's not be polite to each other, I am very close to Gu Chen's little brother, no matter what our cultivation is, no matter how old we are, how about our peers? If you don't dislike it, call Brother Wen." Wen Xinliu smiled gently.
Gu Chen felt a little strange, in terms of identity, Wen Xinliu was the brother of the head of the Wen family in Black Rock City, and he was also a master of the ground level, why would he be so polite to the young master of the Gu family in Qingyuan City, but looking at what he did and was not pretentious, he really couldn't guess.
"Then it's a big deal, Brother Wen, I don't know what you want me to come this time?" Gu Chen asked.
"I can't talk about orders, I think Brother Gu Chen has an extraordinary status in the Gu family, and my brother also knows something about my Wen family, right?" Wen Xinliu waved his hand and said.
"Something I heard. Gu Chen nodded.
Wen Xinliu continued: "Then I'll make a long story short, my Wen family and the Shi family have always been in competition. The two families have been at a standstill for many years, but in recent years, because the Shi family has been friendly with the elders of the Qingtian Sect here, the Shi family instigated them to secretly suppress my Wen family, and now the Shi family has completely gained the advantage. If the Wen family doesn't take measures to resist, I'm afraid it won't take a few years to be removed from Blackstone City.
Therefore, our Wen family has already intended to cooperate with your Qingyuan City Gu family. I happened to meet four of them today, so I stopped by to make friends. ”
"Oh, although the Qingtian Sect is the leader of Yunzhou, it is just a rudder elder, and it can cover the sky with one hand? Moreover, why did the Wen family choose our Gu family, the Gu family is just a small family. Gu Chen asked in surprise.
"Brother Gu Chen doesn't know that the Qingtian Sect has a rudder in every second-level and first-class city in Yunzhou. The Elders of the Helm have a great deal of power in the local area, and have the right to deal with the distribution of all resources within the Helm Clan's management. Originally, the right to mine the spirit ore should have been contested by the top families to which the city belonged, but the rudder elder only needed a little manipulation to decide on the ownership. ”
"As for why the Wen family chose the Gu family... Brother Gu Chen, don't be presumptuous, in my opinion, the strength of the Gu family is very strong. The Huang family, who is also from the Qingyuan City family, has always been so pressed by you that they can't raise their heads, and if the senior of your Gu family can successfully break through the heavenly rank, then even the Shi family will not dare to offend you easily. Wen Xinliu explained.
"Even so, you have to go and talk to our family master, I'm just a junior of the Gu family, and I can't speak. Gu Chen said again.
Wen Xinliu said: "Brother Gu Chen is modest, but our Wen family has already sent someone to the Gu family, and you and I really don't have to worry about this matter." The reason why I specially invited the four of you here is because Brother Gu Chen just talked about Qingxi Town, I don't know if Brother Gu Chen knows about Liu Meng?"
Gu Chen, Gu Wen and the others glanced at each other. Xindao: How could I not know that we killed him and took the opportunity to loot his private collection...
"Well, let's be honest, Liu Meng is dead..."Gu Chen said with a strange face.
"Dead? Who killed it?" Although this Liu Meng only has the cultivation of the first mirror of the earth level, but his strange elixir is really not easy to deal with, could it be that which senior elder of the Gu family made a move?" Wen Xinliu guessed with a surprised expression.
This... Gu Chen was hesitant and didn't know how to explain it. And the mysterious force behind Liu Meng is not trivial, it is better to leave this matter to the Wen family to deal with, and then the Gu family can stay out of the matter...
"Brother Gu Chen, what else do you know? What else did you find out about Liu Meng?" Wen Xinliu saw that Gu Chen seemed to want to stop talking, and immediately asked.
"Well, as far as I know, there seems to be a mysterious force behind Liu Meng. The mysterious force gave him a strange elixir, and after eating it, his strength increased dramatically. However, after taking it many times, it will damage the foundation of cultivation, and it will gradually erode the consciousness, and finally the delirious cultivation will be completely lost and become a wasted person. According to him, there was also a second-in-command in the bandits' den, who was called the military advisor, and he was the one in charge of liaising with the mysterious force. What a deacon-sama is their upline. Gu Chen thought about it carefully and told Wen Xinliu about it.
"Is Brother Gu serious?" Wen Xinliu asked excitedly.
"It should be true, but this is what Liu Meng said himself after he went crazy, as for how much is true and how much is false, I don't know, that's all I know. Gu Chen said uncertainly.
"This matter seems to be true, I was also a little eyebrow in the original investigation, and Brother Gu Chen helped me a lot this time. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Wen's house to find me, as long as you can do it, you can help you deal with it. Wen Xinliu said happily, and no longer asked about the cause of Liu Meng's death.
Wen Xinliu knew that this matter was extremely important, and it was enough to attract the attention of the Qingtian Sect. The mysterious forces behind Liu Meng definitely have an unknown conspiracy, if he can grasp enough information, or catch one or two important people, and then inform the Qingtian Sect. That force is strong enough to attract the attention of the top level of the Qingtian Sect, and when the time comes, the Wen family will inevitably rise, and the unfavorable situation will also be solved.
Gu Chen nodded and smiled, he didn't plan to interfere in the matter behind Liu Meng's back, and it was okay to hand it over to the Wen family. What's more, it doesn't cost Wen Siye a favor to let Fourth Master Wen owe.
"That Wen said goodbye, this matter should be handled sooner rather than later, I have to deal with this matter. The four of you continue to enjoy, and I will explain that all the consumption of the restaurant is counted in Wen's account. Wen Xinliu got up and said.
"Brother Wen, please take care of yourself, then thank you for your hospitality. Gu Chen said, and at the same time, the four of them got up and gave their hands.
Wen Xinliu left, and only Gu Chen was left in the single room.
"Hey, I didn't expect this Fourth Master Wen to get along so easily, I thought that these big city families would look down on us. However, the Wen family's situation is unfavorable now, will it be troublesome for our Gu family to join forces with them?" Gu Wen said loudly.
"Regardless of anything else, but judging by his style of conversation, this man is indeed a good person, with the demeanor of a big family. As for the matter of the two families joining forces, the heads of the families and the elders have made decisions, and now we only need to focus on the experience. Gu Chen said appreciatively.
"However, Brother Chen, is it really okay to tell the Wen family directly about that news, aren't you going to tell the family?" Gu Wen asked Gu Chen.
"It's okay, I've thought about it carefully, it's best for our Gu family not to be directly involved in this matter. It is best for the Wen family to do it for us, we will not have a risk, and if there is really a benefit, the Wen family will also take care of the favor of the Gu family. Later, I will write a letter to report the matter to the family, and let the post station send it back for us. Gu Chen said seriously.
Gu Chen called Xiao Er to get a pen and paper, and wrote a letter about some important things that had happened recently, and Gu 13 went to the post station to send the letter.
After that, Gu Chen said: "Let's go, let's go to the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce in Black Rock City, and then Thirteen and we will meet there." ”
"Great, I'm going to buy a spiritual artifact. Gu Wen shouted excitedly.
After inquiring about the location of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce from Xiao Er, Gu Chen and his entourage went out of the restaurant, Gu Chen, Gu Wen, and Gu Wen went to the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, and Gu 13 went to send the letter first.
