Chapter 337: I'll Wait for You
Among the nearly ten people sent by Ye Qingyan to the Zhen family, some of them were found by him recently, and some of them were selected by him from among the people who were dormant in the Zhenchong Empire. These people represent his expectations for the future, and they are also the bargaining chips for him to really fight with Xiao Gan.
After dealing with the affairs of the Zhen family, Ye Qingyan took care of the shops in the county town a little. Now these shops are on the right track, although the monthly income is not much, but because of the measures he has adopted, even if he completely lets go, he can at least barely maintain a few months of superficial prosperity.
For this, Ye Qingyan was already content. He knew very well what his purpose was in Blackfish County, so he didn't care about such a large income in Blackfish County.
Next, he should go and meet Wei Hongxun. Although Wei Hongxun has been sending him some information during this period of time, judging from the fact that he has been sending information less and less recently, Wei Hongxun should be in trouble.
Unlike entering the City Lord's Mansion once, this time Ye Qingyan obviously felt some depression and silence when he entered Wei Hongxun's Mansion. Ye Qingyan didn't stay, but followed the subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion a few steps to the living room where Wei Hongxun was resting, and at this moment, he saw Wei Hongxun sitting in it with a somewhat gloomy face. Looking at himself, Wei Hongxun reluctantly came out of his seat.
"Patriarch Ye, I didn't expect you to be famous in the Blackfish County City, and you turned out to be the strength of Xiao Cheng of this God Realm, and you also killed a half-step emperor, I really can't believe it, recently the people of our Wei family have been talking about you. Why are you thinking of coming to see me?" Wei Hongxun crackled like fried beans and said a lot of words. In short, these words are all things that Wei Hongxun has recently subverted his impression of Ye Qingyan.
At the end, Wei Hongxun looked at Ye Qingyan and said, "Patriarch Ye, I am very happy that you came to see me today!"
Hearing Wei Hongxun's words, Ye Qingyan suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart. He could feel that the Xiao family and the Wei family had been secretly fighting in an all-out war recently, and now Wei Hongxun, the small city lord, was also becoming more and more dangerous, so that everyone in the city lord's mansion could escape.
Ye Qingyan didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only take out some aged spirits from his pocket. After fetching two large bowls of wine and preparing some good appetizers, the two of them finally began to talk.
It stands to reason that Ye Qingyan is actually not a person who can drink. But I don't know why he has been socializing a lot lately, and he often drinks some by himself, so slowly, the amount of alcohol will naturally go up. Sometimes Ye Qingyan himself thinks, is this the reason why I have the good inheritance of my father?
But every time he thought of his mother and the father he had never met, his heart became extremely heavy. As a result, he came to see Wei Hongxun, but was comforted by Wei Hongxun.
You must know that when it comes to offending the Xiao family. Ye Qingyan killed a half-step emperor of the Xiao family, and made the Xiao family lose hundreds of spirit jade. That's what really offended the Xiao family. In comparison, what Wei Hongxun did was not a problem at all. It's just that although Ye Qingyan's things are big, he has a backer to support him.
But when he thinks about himself, Wei Hongxun doesn't seem to have anything to be proud of. In this way, Wei Hongxun naturally has nothing to show off in front of Ye Qingyan, and can only chat with Ye Qingyan cup by cup about the south and the north, the sea and the sky.
It's just that these small talk is not Ye Qingyan's real purpose here after all, he still has to open up the situation. However, in order to make Wei Hongxun feel psychologically relieved, Ye Qingyan decided to use his current situation as an introduction to open the way.
"Brother Hongxun!" Ye Qingyan had already removed the city lord and began to change it into a more intimate title.
Of course, although there are some politenesses in this, it is more of a thank you to Wei Hongxun.
You must know that although he and Wei Hongxun are not familiar at first sight, he has achieved a lot of achievements during this period of time and has a lot to do with Wei Hongxun, so Ye Qingyan is actually very grateful to Wei Hongxun for his trust.
He came to Wei Hongxun this time to talk to him, and he was also afraid that Wei Hongxun would die as a substitute ghost in the battle between the Xiao family and the Wei family, so he came to see Wei Hongxun's friend for the last time.
"This time, I actually came mainly to see if you have any junior brother to help you recently, you also know that the business of Heizi Town and Black Star City has been able to prosper by relying on Brother Hongxun's care during this time, and the little brother is also very grateful in his heart!" Ye Qingyan said the truth, so it was also affectionate, and there was no falsehood.
It's just that it doesn't sound like that to Wei Hongxun. In his opinion, even if these transactions made money, they would only be more than 10 million red gold a year, and Ye Qingyan earned hundreds of spirit jade at the banquet at that time. The gap between the two is simply the difference between the creek and the sea, and the distance between him and Ye Qingyan was suddenly thrown away 108,000 miles.
But even so, hearing Ye Qingyan's words, Wei Hongxun couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother, don't comfort me, I actually know it very well in my heart, but how can I help you, in addition, I have carefully pondered the token in your hand, it should not be our Wei family's thing, maybe you got it from the Zhen family, as for the reason is too complicated, I won't say it, after all, the truth is only known to you!"
Wei Hongxun sighed again and said: "I can only tell you about the dispute between our Wei family and the Xiao family with this bit of value now, brother, you have the right to listen to a joke, if what I say is not good, you can just let me fart!"
Wei Hongxun didn't lie, what he said was really not very pleasant.
It turned out that during this time, in order to deal with the Wei family, Xiao Qian actually cut off many business contacts between the Wei family and the outside world, and even destroyed several half-step emperors of the Wei family. In this way, the strength of the Wei family has obviously been weakened a lot.
However, just when Xiao Qian was about to strike a more severe blow to the Wei family, the Zhen Chong royal family actually made a move, which made the Wei family gain some anger. It's just that the Zhenchong Imperial Family is still a little worse than Xiao Gan, even if the Wei family and the Zhenchong Imperial Family together want to lose both with Xiao Gan, it will be difficult to shake Xiao Qian's foundation in the Zhenchong Empire.
The reason why Xiao Qian didn't turn his face with them was because the Xiao family was a foreign family after all, and if there was no control from the royal family, the entire Zhenchong Empire would easily lose its balance and the country would have civil strife. This is not what Xiao Qian wants to see, and it is also the reason why he wants to support the royal family.
On the other hand, the Chai family is still undecided, and they don't know which ...... to stand on
Then there is the threat of Xiao Jian.
For Xiao Qian, the contradictions in the Zhenchong Empire are almost thunder and rain, which has little impact on him, but Xiao Jian is a strong opponent for him. If he doesn't care about Xiao Jian, he is likely to lose his life because of this. This is why Xiao Qian is unwilling to offend the Zhen family again by killing Ye Qingyan.
"Brother Hongxun, junior brother has some ideas, I don't know if you can accept it?" Just when Wei Hongxun was still in trouble, Ye Qingyan suddenly said, making Wei Hongxun seem to see a glimmer of hope in his heart. It's just that whether this glimmer of hope is in vain, or his life-saving straw, Wei Hongxun doesn't dare to hope too much.
Thinking about my current situation, there really is no better way.
Don't look at him as the city lord of the entire Black Star City, but in front of Xiao Qian, this city lord is just a slightly larger ant at most. So thinking of this, Wei Hongxun also took a deep breath and said: "Brother, don't play brother, just say something!"
Ye Qingyan nodded and said something that Wei Hongxun would never forget for the rest of his life, "Brother Hongxun, you betrayed the Wei family!"
"What!" Wei Hongxun almost fell out with Ye Qingyan because of this sentence. If it weren't for his strength, even if he died in Ye Qingyan's hands, it would only be a matter of killing a cat and dog, he would have pounced on it and sent it to death.
But in the end, he chose to give up. Because he could feel that Ye Qingyan really thought about him when he said this. He could only sigh and say: "Brother, how can you say it so easily, if you can, I'm afraid I won't fall to this!"
"Huh?" Ye Qingyan is such a shrewd and decisive person, as soon as he heard that he had really dug up people, he also had some more specific thoughts in his heart.
However, now it is still up to Wei Hongxun to say the reason himself, so Ye Qingyan did not continue to speak, but waited for Wei Hongxun to say what he said.
Sure enough, Wei Hongxun felt as if something was holding in his throat, and he didn't say it, and he didn't say it, but he finally said it.
It turned out that Wei Hongxun was originally quite valued in the family, and he should be sent to some bigger places to be the city lord. It's a pity that his father offended the patriarch, and as a result, he also suffered, and in the end he was sent to this Black Star City, destined to never turn over in his life.
"I see, Brother Hongxun, your uncle is also afraid that your father will betray the family and will be locked up until now, but you really betrayed the Wei family this time, there is no need to worry, and I promise to send you to the Zhen family, the Wei family not only does not hate you, but also uses this to win you over, and even releases your father from the dungeon, don't you want to see this happen?" Seeing the increasingly relaxed expression on Wei Hongxun's face, Ye Qingyan finally played the trump card of this trip, and suddenly made Wei Hongxun stand on the spot.
"This, I, this ......" Wei Hongxun's throat kept squirming, but he couldn't say what Ye Qingyan wanted to hear.
But Ye Qingyan is still so patient, as if to say, "You think slowly, I will wait for you"......!
