Chapter Twenty-Three: Attack (Ask for Recommended Collection)
"You are my little apple..... "After washing himself well, he was in a happy mood, and couldn't help humming a little song, Chen Yu left the martial arts hall and came to the family.
As soon as he walked into the family compound, Chen Yu, who had excellent eyesight, saw a group of people sitting in the hall at this moment, who should be discussing something, but the expressions on their faces were not very good.
After Chen Yu walked in, he said hello to everyone. Then he walked to Chen Xiao, who was nesting in the corner, and asked curiously: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with my brother, why do they look unhappy." ”
"Hey" Chen Xiaoren sighed and said, "Brother Yu, now the family is facing a huge crisis. ”
"What?" Chen Yu was stunned, why did he suddenly encounter a crisis.
Before Chen Xiao could answer, Chen Xiong's voice came.
"It's really unreasonable, it's too much to deceive people. I saw a white-bearded old man in the hall blowing his beard angrily and glaring at the table and scolding, Chen Yu remembered from his memory that this white-bearded old man was called Chen Youren, an uncle of Chen Yu, and the third elder of the Chen family, who had been in charge of the Chen family's workshop operation.
At this time, the second elder Chen Youde, who was in charge of the management of the Chen family's market, also said violently: "Yes, eldest brother, the third brother is right, this group of dog offals is riding on our Chen family's head and slapping the face." We can't just leave it at that. ”
"Second, third, don't be impatient, both of you are old, don't be so impulsive. Let the juniors see the jokes. An old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting next to Chen Xiong said faintly, he is the great elder of the Chen family, Chen Youliang, and the main person in charge of the Chen family's business activities.
Although the three of the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder are not good at martial arts cultivation, they are better than they have rich life experience, so under their management, although the Chen family is not open enough, it is more than successful. It seems that he is really in big trouble this time, otherwise these three high-ranking and powerful old men of the Chen family would not be so impatient.
"But...," the Second Elder and the Third Elder still wanted to speak, but the Great Elder had already taken the lead.
"This time, the Qiao family and the Lu family are menacing, and they have the support of the Wu family in the national capital, so the plan is not small, they are planning to destroy our Chen family. Second, you are in charge of the market, you can tell me what the situation is now, and let the male children be clear. ”
Don't look at the Giant Sword City, it is not big, but the strength in the Giant Sword City is intricate, and there are three top families in the Giant Sword City, namely Chen Yu and their Chen family, who mainly control the Eastern District, and the other is the Qiao Songren Qiao family, the controller of the Southern District, and the Lu family, who besieged the Chen family with the Qiao family this time, and is in charge of the Northern District.
And the West District is the market place of Giant Sword City, where the three sects and the nine streams are located. Before, the three major families of the Chen family, the Qiao family, and the Lu family, did not interfere with the river water, and they were doing different businesses.
The Chen family mainly monopolized the utensils business in the western market, and the utensils circulating in the giant sword city market were basically produced by the Chen family's workshop. And the Qiao family's main monopoly is medicinal herbs and pills. Then the Lu family is engaged in the leather and meat business of Giant Sword City and the major casinos.
It can be said that the things that Wu Xiu likes the most and needs the most are in the hands of the three major families. The previous three families were also harmonious and wealthy, and they were safe and sound.
But this situation has now been broken, just because the Wu family, the capital of the Lihuo Dynasty, intervened.
Under the instruction and bridging of the Wu family, the Qiao family and the Lu family cooperated and began to enter the arms market. However, this is not the main thing. The most important thing is that the Wu family specially sent a refiner from the national capital.
Now the workshops of the Qiao family and the Lu family are playing the brand of refiners, frantically squeezing and seizing the Chen family's market.
The Qiao family and the Lu family's workshop made an announcement that a martial soldier would be publicly auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion auction in three days, and a martial soldier would be sold in the Qiao family and the Lu family's Fang Market every month thereafter, and the conditions were very simple, first, as long as you have money, and second, you have not bought anything in Chenjiafang City within this month, you are eligible to participate in the competition. It means that if you go to Chenjiafang City, you can't come to Lujia Qiaojiafang City again.
This news came out first, and the entire Giant Sword City and the surrounding towns were boiling, you must know that here in the Giant Sword City, martial arts rarely appear, every time they appear, they will only appear once in many years, and every time they are auctioned at a sky-high price, and there is no market.
In addition to the military soldiers, the prices of the things sold in the Qiao family and the Lu family's Fang Market were also lower than those of the Chen family.
In order to be able to build a good relationship with the Qiao family and the Lu family in the future, in order to be qualified to participate in the purchase of military soldiers. Many family forces in Giant Sword City and the surrounding towns have severed their business ties with the Chen family. Ordinary consumers don't dare to come to Chenjiafang City to buy things, first, everyone thinks about whether they can buy martial arts. The second is that other things, the Qiao family and the Lu family do sell cheaper than the Chen family.
"It's really a desperate solution. After understanding, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh that the Qiao family and the Lu family played hard enough.
"Qiao Songren, a little rabbit cub, is actually in cahoots with the Lu family's pile of miscellaneous pieces. In vain, Jian'er saved his life. It's really a white-eyed wolf, and he's not afraid of retribution. The third elder scolded viciously.
When Qiao Songren was young, he was a friend of Chen Tianjian, the father of Chen Xiong and Chen Yu, and Chen Tianjian also saved Qiao Songren's life under the mouth of the fierce beast, but unfortunately the world is hot and cold now.
"Yes, the third child is right, the Qiao family is really not human. If you want to say that the Lu family came to mess with us, it is reasonable, after all, our two families have a grudge, but the Qiao family is really going to be struck by lightning if this happens," the second elder also said.
The Lu family and the Chen family are also enemies, many years ago, a second ancestor of the Lu family forced Liang to become a prostitute, and was slashed by Chen Yu's second uncle Chen Tiandao who passed by, and then the Chen and Lu families became enemies.
"Okay, second and third, don't talk about these useless things, you have all lived a handful of years, and you still don't understand that in the face of interests, all benevolence, righteousness and morality are empty? How to break this situation. Rubbing his temples, the Great Elder stopped chattering the Second Elder and the Third Elder before speaking. The Great Elder also had a headache at the moment, not knowing how to break the situation, he turned his head to look at Chen Xiong and asked, "Xiong'er, as the acting patriarch of the Chen family, do you have any good plans?"
After saying this, Chen Xiong also had a certain understanding of the situation faced by the Chen family at this moment, but he also had a real headache, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but feel a little irritable, but he could only say helplessly: "Great Elder, if you say let me fight, I can still give it a try, but I don't know anything about business operations, hey, forgive me for being incompetent, I really can't think of any way." ”
Looking at the dejected crowd, the Great Elder couldn't help but shake his head, the hands of the Qiao family and the Lu family were indeed too poisonous, so poisonous that they really couldn't think of a way.
Just when everyone was downcast, a burst of laughter came out of their ears.
When they were upset and irritable, they suddenly heard someone laughing, and the Great Elders couldn't help but feel a little angry. Turning his head to look at the place where the laughter was coming from, his sharp gaze couldn't help but turn to love.
It turned out that Chen Yu laughed, speaking from the heart, the older generation of the Chen family was very cared for by Chen Yu's generation, even if Chen Yu didn't have any martial arts talent before, everyone still didn't treat it specially. may be due to the Chen family's genetic shortcomings, or it may be in pity for Chen Yu and them for losing their father since they were young.
Although the Great Elder did not reproach Chen Yu, Chen Xiong still asked sternly: "Xiao Yu, the family is facing a crisis at this moment, what are you laughing at here?"
Chen Yu smiled slightly, and said, "Big brother, eldest elder, second elder, third elder, don't be too nervous." ”
Looking at the optimistic Chen Yu, the Great Elder smiled bitterly and said, "Yu'er, maybe you don't know the current situation of the family, hey......"
"Great Elder, let me ask you like this, what is the biggest threat to the Qiao family and the Lu family now?" Chen Yu said.
"Then I have to say, of course, it is the refiner sent by the Wu family to sit in the town. ”
Chen Yu smiled slightly, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, a disdainful sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, and he said faintly: "It's just a red refiner, and the Qiao family and the Lu family are treasures." ”
"But our Chen family doesn't even have a refiner."
"No, Grand Elder, we do"
"Huh?"
"Who is it?"
"Me!"
