Chapter 199: The British Aristocrats (II)

Fernan took out a piece of silk silk and wrapped the cross carefully, then reluctantly handed it to Xu Changqing and said, "I hope Mr. Xu can keep it well and not let it be damaged." ”

"I will take good care of important goods, please rest assured that Mr. Earl. Xu Changqing took the cross and turned it over and put it in his sleeve, and this ancient ** became a grandiose magic in Fernan's eyes, and there was a slight disdain in his eyes.

When Xu Changqing sent Fernan out of the study, Fernan suddenly made a request: "If someone else finds this stone before me, can Mr. Xu notify me in advance?"

Fernan already knew that the Western Holy See, the Hermitage and the dark forces in Europe were now involved in this game of finding the stone, and he had no confidence in finding the stone before these major forces, so he had to find another way.

Xu Changqing looked at Fernan with deep meaning, naturally knew his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yes, but I don't know what price Mr. Fernan is willing to buy such news?"

"Greedy Oriental, who just said that money was useless to him, and now he is talking about money again. Fernan cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent, handed the Citibank cashier's check that Chen Dejun gave him before along with the contact information to Xu Changqing, and said, "I think this price should be appropriate, right?"

"That's enough! Of course it's enough. Xu Changqing put the two things in his pocket casually, stretched out his hand towards Fernan, and said, "I hope that in the near future, we can hear good news from each other." ”

"I hope so. Fernan shook Xu Changqing's hand tightly, but his tone of voice did not show any confidence.

After the whole banquet, all the guests were satisfied, Xu Changqing handed over Fernan's promissory note to Chen Dejun, and asked him to invest all the money in the charity guild established before, after all, pure wish power is the only tonic to increase the strength of the mixed yuan golden body. After properly handling the affairs of the Chen family, Xu Changqing moved to Chen Zhenshan's dock like his two apprentices to live temporarily, led the two little guys to the Longwang Temple to set up a stall to increase market experience during the day, and returned to the dock at night to concentrate on teaching Chen Zhenshan some foreign Taoism.

While teaching Chen Zhenshan his mastery, the eight generals under Chen Zhenshan also received Xu Changqing's guidance, and Chen Zhenshan gradually divided the power and territory in his hands to prepare for his departure. Chen Zhenshan's idea of preparing to take over the mountain, some of the cadres under his command all knew about it, although they had all persuaded him, but in the end they still obeyed his wishes. In the eyes of these people, the Xinglong is too small for Chen Zhenshan, a strong dragon, and he should have a broader future.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news that Chen Zhenshan is about to leave the Xinglong soon spread throughout the rivers and lakes of Shanghai. For a while, the forces of all parties were surging, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to take a bite of fat from the Xinglong. However, just when these people were still dreaming of dividing the Xinglong, the eight generals under Chen Zhenshan led their respective descendants and picked the three gangs that had opposed them overnight. The strength they displayed made everyone frightened, as if they were announcing to everyone that even without the Great Dragon King, the Xinglong was still the biggest water force in Shanghai.

While the rivers and lakes in the secular world of Shanghai are fighting for the powerful territory, the Wenmen masters in the area of the Dragon King Temple are also fighting each other for their own interests. Originally, there were four forces in the life master industry in the area of the Dragon King Temple, the blind faction, the Bright Eye faction, the Chinese Life Master Association, and the Shanghai Outer Hall, which knew the destiny of heaven. But just a few days ago, Lu Yizheng, the president of the Chinese Life Teachers Association, suddenly announced his resignation, and then left Shanghai in a hurry. For a time, there were constant disputes within the Chinese Life Teachers Association, and no one was convinced, and the position of the president of the association has been vacant.

Just when the Chinese Destiny Division Association was fighting endlessly, several other forces unceremoniously snatched the customers of the Chinese Destiny Division, and soon the strength of the Chinese Destiny Division Association plummeted. Later, some veteran figures also left one after another, and Lu Yizheng's disciples even took away some of the guests who originally belonged to the association, which made it even worse, making the Chinese Life Master Association a small guild that did not enter the stream.

After Xu Changqing heard the news of Lu Yizheng's departure, he knew that the bait he threw had made the fish take the bait, and in the end, there was only one dead end left for Lu Yizheng. As for his hard work in founding the Chinese Life Teachers Association, the day after he left Shanghai, he had already shown signs of decay, and the ending was clear to anyone with a discerning eye.

No. 47 Baliqiao Road is a two-storey old building, with red brick cement on the outside and a wooden frame structure on the inside. This building was originally the residence of a foreign merchant, but later because the foreign merchant lost all his money in Shanghai, he was sold at a low price to the gangster who was begging for a living on Baliqiao Road. As everyone knows, this lacquer carving is under Chen Qimei, a member of the Alliance, and this place has naturally become an important stronghold of the Alliance in Shanghai.

At night, a rickshaw stopped in front of No. 47 in dim light, and two people got out of the car, one of them dressed like a rich man, and the other was a scholar in a green shirt and long coat, which looked extremely simple, which made the two look very incompatible.

After paying the fare, the rich man did not immediately knock on the door, but looked around, looking extremely wary, as if he was afraid that someone would follow him. The man standing beside him seemed to be very disdainful of the man's behavior, smiled and shook his head, signaling that there was no danger, and only then did the rich man relent, and came forward and knocked on the door.

After three rounds of regular knocking, the door slowly opened, and a young man came out of it, and when he saw the rich man, he immediately showed joy, and hurriedly opened the door to let the two people outside the house in, and then vigilantly stretched out his head to look out, and then closed the door.

"Brother Jinzhi, you're finally here! Mr. Qiyuan has been waiting inside for a long time. At this time, a Western-style literati in a suit and leather shoes with golden eyes stepped forward from inside the house and held the rich man's hand, and then saw the tall and thin scholar behind him, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Presumably this is Xu Changqing, Mr. Xu! Shiying, I have seen you here." ”
