Chapter 51: Wandering in the Torrent
After entering the Fire Tiger Hunting Group, many hunters greeted Zhang Xiaoxie respectfully, some new hunters also whispered discussions on the side, and some female huntresses even cast hot glances. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Xiaoxie was in no mood to pay attention to these gazes now, and directly found Mo Han, and asked Mo Han a question that made the former startled: "If you start a war with Lundian, what are the chances of winning?"
"Hardly!"
Mo Han's answer to Zhang Xiaoxie was even more shocking.
"A store that sells things, how powerful is it?"
Zhang Xiaoxie said in disbelief.
Mo Han was silent for a moment and said: "Then it depends on what is sold, if the wheel shop does it, the city lord's mansion will also do it, and the Black Rock Hunting Group will also do it, because these people and the wheel shop have huge interests, as for the Qing family, I don't know........."
"I'm really undermining the wheel shop......."
Zhang Xiaoxie smiled bitterly and walked towards the door.
"Commander, where are you going? Just come and leave......." Mo Han wondered.
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion to visit Keiyoshi!"
......
Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the two guards walked into the City Lord's Mansion with Zhang Xiaoxie with a respectful face, as for the reward given by Zhang Xiaoxie, they didn't dare to accept it again, after all, Zhang Xiaoxie's current identity is no longer comparable to before.
Above the main hall, Qingji was still lazily leaning on the chair, and after seeing Zhang Xiaoxie come in, he asked someone to move a chair.
"Sit down.."
"Lord Castle, this is a ..... of dim sum."
Zhang Xiaoxie handed over a bag of wheel stars to a guard, Qingji looked at the wheel inside and woke up, cheered up, and said with interest: "I really can't imagine that a little laundry master has become a guest of my city lord's mansion in just one year, and the future is terrifying......."
"The city lord is serious...... Zhang Xiaoxie smiled slightly.
"Head Zhang, what's the matter with this visit?" said Qingji with a smile.
"I'd like to ask about the wheel shop.......
Zhang Xiaoxie pondered for a moment and said.
"Wheel shop?"
Qingji pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "After all, there is still a conflict with them?"
"I can't escape the eyes of the city lord......"
Zhang Xiaoxie was slightly stunned.
"Hehe, if I don't control the movements of the big forces in this Qingcheng, how can I be the lord of this city......"
Qingji waved his hand and said: "I knew that there would be this day when you started selling wheel clothes, after all, wheel shops are a force that puts interests first, it's good if you don't mess with it, if you do, it's a big trouble." ”
"Oh, city lord, you also find it troublesome?"
Zhang Xiaoxie was surprised.
"Well, it's a hassle......
Qingji nodded and said: "Although Lundian has seventy-two branches in the Western Zhou Dynasty, its headquarters is not in the Western Zhou Kingdom, but in the Qingchuan Empire, which is one of the five major empires in the southwest region, so it can be said that the brand of the Western Zhou royal family behind me can't put too much pressure on them." ”
"In this way, wouldn't the wheel shop be able to walk sideways in the Western Zhou Kingdom?"
"No, if this is the case, it will not develop so big, they are just for money, and generally will not participate in any fight, unless their interests are touched. ”
Qingji shook his head, showed a strange smile, and said, "And you, however, are one of the few people who dare to blatantly touch their interests. ”
"So what can I do now to solve this matter?"
"At most, I can ignore it, this time is different from last time, because even the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty has a relationship with the owner of the wheel shop, and I, a city lord, can only follow the direction of the royal family......"
Qingji saw Zhang Xiaoxie's face turn ugly, and said, "But I can give you a suggestion." ”
"Suggestion ..... again"
Zhang Xiaoxie was slightly stunned, but still squeezed out a smile and said, "City Lord, please speak." ”
"It's supposed to be Black Rock who is messing you with this time, right?"
"You know that, too?"
Zhang Xiaoxie was stunned again.
"Hehe, Heiyan works for the wheel shop, and also acts as a guard for the wheel shop, and the owner of the wheel shop doesn't like to come forward, so naturally he will only ask Heiyan to come forward......"
After Qingji finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxie suddenly realized.
"Your Fire Tiger Hunting Group is growing too fast, threatening Heiyan's status, when Heiyan spreads, he will definitely have selfish intentions, you might as well talk to Lin Manlou in person. ”
"Lin Manlou?"
Qingji nodded and said, "Well, the owner of the wheel shop, the interests of the wheel shop are above the interests of the wheel shop, so for them, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies." ”
"But, I've heard that this shopkeeper is hard to find, how can I find it?"
"You're going to have to figure it out for yourself. ”
"Well, thank you for your advice.....
Zhang Xiaoxie bowed and slowly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
......
In the wheel shop, Red Sleeves looked at Zhang Xiaoxie with an embarrassed face.
"Zhang Gongzi, our shopkeeper is really not here, it's not that the red sleeves don't help you......"
"This ........"
Zhang Xiaoxie frowned, and his gaze fell on a window on the third floor.
Qingxue had long known that there was a man who had been watching there, but since others didn't want to see him, he couldn't venture in.
"Okay, Sister Redsleeves, then I won't embarrass you....."
Zhang Xiaoxie shook his head, and when he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt something stuffed in his hand by the red sleeve, and when he went out, he found that it was a note.
There were three big characters written on the note: "Qing Ling'er!"
"What does this mean, tell me to find Qing Ling'er?"
Zhang Xiaoxie pondered for a moment and came to the Qing family's mansion again, but the Qing family's guards told him that Qing Ling'er had gone out, and in desperation, he could only write an address for the guards to hand over to Qing Ling'er, and then leave.
......
In a bookstore in the center of Qingcheng, after Zhang Xiaoxie ordered a cup of tea, he randomly found a copy of "Alien Beast Record" and flipped through it.
This library is a place where Zhang Xiaoxie came more often when he was a child, although there is no such thing as practicing qi and martial arts, but there are many biographies of strong people, geographical magazines, etc., when you are bored, you can take a look to pass the time.
The owner of the bookstore immediately recognized Zhang Xiaoxi, and his attitude became respectful, and some people around him who were reading quietly also naturally gave up a good position by the window.
The current teenager is not the child who secretly came to read the book at the beginning, but one of the few big people in Qingcheng.
"Strange Beasts" is a book he liked to read when he was a child, but there are thousands of strange beasts in the world, and the strange beasts cannot be recorded all, so the strange beasts in each place are also different.
At this time, although his eyes fell on the book, his mind was erratic, like a mess.
I thought that I could live a stable life after finally coming to this point, but an extremely powerful Baikujia family emerged, and before this matter was resolved, a mysterious and powerful wheel shop appeared.
He finally knew that the higher he climbed, the less simple it was to touch things that seemed to be.
He finally knew that it was impossible to be stable now, only to keep climbing.
But he didn't know how high he had to climb to be truly stable.
Maybe the life of a strong person will not be stable, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, a light voice came.
"Did you ask me to come to this place to read?"
"Miss Ling'er......"
Zhang Xiaoye closed the book in a panic, hurriedly got up and motioned for Qing Ling'er to sit down, and then called a cup of tea for Qing Ling'er.
After Qing Ling'er sat down, she took a sip of tea lightly, stared at Zhang Xiaoxi, who was full of nervousness, for a long time, and couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoxie wondered.
"Why are you so nervous every time you see me, the Qing family is so terrible?" Qing Ling'er said with a smile.
"Ahem..... no, I....it's the first time I've sat at a table with you....."
Zhang Xiaoxie picked up the tea in a panic and took a sip.
"Oh......"
Qing Ling'er looked at the teacup in Zhang Xiaoxie's hand meaningfully and said with a smile: "The water system wheel master rarely drinks water, why do you come to read and order a cup of tea?"
"I ......."
Zhang Xiaoxie was speechless, so he could only focus on the "Strange Beast Record" in his hand.
Qing Ling'er looked at the flustered Zhang Xiaoxie and smiled again, and said, "A person who recently liked the Lunqi Tavern suddenly asked me to come to the library, it turned out to be to pretend to be elegant......."
"Ahem..... I didn't ....."
Zhang Xiaoxie only felt that his face was hot.
"No?"
Qing Ling'er laughed strangely, and said: "This kind of tea is brewed with the swill of the swill wheel master, and the tea is the safflower of Qingchuan, for ordinary people, the taste is really good, but to put it simply, it is to add safflower to the swill, there is no process, and people who really understand tea will not drink it......"
"Moreover, when you come to the library to read the record of strange beasts, you are like a child, the wheel beasts recorded on it are rare, and some wheel beasts are even more ethereal, you are now the head of a hunting group reading this book, but it is not suitable for identity. ”
"Don't expose me ..... this time......"
Zhang Xiaoxie couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Qing Ling'er smiled and said: "If you don't expose you, you will always be stupid, if someone told you earlier that selling wheel clothes will touch the wheel shop, maybe you won't ask me to come here today." ”
"Ahem....you know everything?" Zhang Xiaoxie said with a slight stunned moment.
Qing Ling'er shook her head and said, "Any big force will know the form of observation, and you will only look at what is happening in front of you, and don't pay attention to what is about to happen or what is likely to happen......"
"This ...... Hey....Looks like there's a lot to learn......."
Zhang Xiaoxie sighed, sorted out his mood, and said, "Then can you tell me about the wheel shop?" or Lin Manlou?"
"Lin Manlou, I do have a lot of cooperation with our Qing family, and I have met ....... a few times."
Qing Ling'er thought for a moment and said: "Let's describe this person to you like this, he is a friend in his mouth, and he is a friend in his heart, and when he shakes hands with someone, he hides a knife in his sleeve, but the knife will not hurt people at will, it will only cut off the hand that reached into his money bag, and you are now the hand that reached into his money bag." ”
"Is he a profit-oriented person? So what should I do with him?"
"Don't think so, it's impossible with your current abilities. ”
Qing Ling'er picked up the teacup, hesitated for a moment, put it down again, and said: "The head office of Lundian is located in the Qingchuan Empire, and the power is so great, even the people of the royal family will treat each other with the courtesy of a superior country, although your hunting group is big in Qingcheng, but don't forget, Qingcheng is only one of the seventy-two cities in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the power of Lundian is all over the seventy-two cities!"
"So, I have to compromise?"
Zhang Xiaoxie's eyes were a little depressed.
"Not necessarily. ”
Qing Ling'er's words made Zhang Xiaoxie's eyes light up, and he hurriedly said: "What ******** shop will support the Black Rock Hunting Group to open the wheel qi tavern and cooperate with them, the first is because the Black Rock Hunting Group has such strength and qualifications, and the second is because it is profitable, if you can also have such qualifications and strength, this matter can be resolved peacefully." ”
"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no permanent interests....."
Zhang Xiaoye suddenly thought of what Qingji said, and couldn't help but say it.
"Smart ......"
Qing Ling'er smiled slightly, and said, "As long as you can take the place of the Black Rock Hunting Group, this matter will be easy to do, and you can also get unexpected benefits, after all, the financial resources of the wheel shop can be said to be rich and rival the country." ”
"However, I can't even see Lin Manlou's face now, relying on Heiyan to talk, this is definitely impossible. ”
Zhang Xiaoxie said with a bitter face.
"That's the main purpose of your visit to me today. ”
Qing Lin'er smiled, and suddenly said: "The Qing family does have a lot of cooperation with the wheel shop, and it is not difficult to meet the owner of the Qingcheng branch, and your current status is enough to make the Qing family face it, I can help you meet Lin Manlou." ”
"Hmm, is it because I can get the attention of the Qing family now that you helped me?" Zhang Xiaoxie said with a strange face.
"Huh, what's the problem?"
"Ahem..... no, thank you......"
"Then let's go, I'll take you to see Lin Manlou now. ”
Qing Ling'er picked up the teacup again, hesitated for a moment, put it down again, and then walked towards the door.
Zhang Xiaoxie frowned, took a sip and hurriedly followed.
