The forces in the city of Yizhou are staggered, and the biggest force is the city lord's mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Below the City Lord's Mansion, there are two other forces.

Jiuyi Chamber of Commerce and Simu Gang.

In addition to the city lord's mansion, which is located in the center of Yizhou City, the other two forces gather in one place, one east and one west.

Fortunately, there are not many conflicts of interest between the three forces, and sometimes there is even business cooperation. In this way, the three parties that occupy Yizhou City all the year round do not have too many conflicts, and there are only some small fights occasionally.

There are not many conflicts between the big forces, but the other small forces occasionally have some big things, but they do not harm the three forces.

And the city lord Xin family has a strong existence, that is the great grandfather of the Xin family, who practiced outside in his early years, and his strength is extraordinary, as early as many years ago, it is said that he was a Yuanying monk, who has worked hard to make a good reputation and has extraordinary wealth.

Later, he retracted his wandering mind, entered the dynasty and became a royal family worship, and obtained the city seal of Yizhou City with a large amount of wealth, and guarded this side.

Over the years, the Xin family has been guarding for a long time, and it has cultivated a lot of power in Yizhou City, and there are many strong people under him, and they have accumulated a lot of family wealth.

Zhou Chenxi carried the basket on his back and glanced at the Xin family's mansion.

Then he walked into the alley, which he was very familiar with all the way, and soon came to the back door of the mansion, and then took out a small whistle from the basket, put it to his mouth, and blew it a few times.

A burst of bearded birds chirped and echoed through the air.

A moment later, the back door of the Xin family's mansion opened, and a small head stuck out, it was a cute little girl, who looked no more than fourteen years old.

The cute little girl stretched out her head, and when she saw Zhou Chenxi, her big eyes bent slightly, and she laughed: "Brother Chenxi is here." ”

"Well, is Young Master Xin here?"

Seeing the little girl sticking out her head, Zhou Chenxi smiled slightly and asked.

"Yes, yes, the eldest young master is waiting for you. ”

The little girl pushed open the back door, gave up a place, and muttered: "It is said that the 'Iron Overlord' you sold to him last time was bitten to death by the 'beast master' of the second young master of the Gao family, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep for a few days, and he lost a full three thousand taels of silver." ”

"He liked the 'Iron Overlord' young master, but he didn't expect to lose and be bitten to death. ”

"It's so troublesome that the young master can't even pay attention to the practice now, but he was beaten by the master yesterday. ”

"I was clamoring just now, I want to go to you to buy better crickets, and I want to fight with the second young master, fight it out, and win back the three thousand taels of silver I lost. ”

Hearing the little girl say this, Zhou Chenxi snorted, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

But there is some helplessness in his heart, the son of your family is really incomparable with a person like him.

However, if there is no accident in the family, he may also become a person like Young Master Xin, who has a deep family background, but he does not learn and has no skills.

Young Master Xin's situation is much better than him, he was born with a good spiritual endowment, chatting before, this Young Master Xin actually has a seven-grade spiritual endowment, and he is a genius with a spiritual endowment.

But such a person lives all day long with 'treasures' and lives in fun, which makes Zhou Chenxi both envious and despised, but he can't say anything to such a gold owner.

Looking up at the Xin family's mansion, the Xin family is guarded by the ancestors, located in Yizhou City, and the family has abundant wealth. And Young Master Xin has a lot of money, a cricket with a strong body, he is willing to buy it for one hundred taels of silver.

Following the little girl, Zhou Chenxi walked into the Xin family's mansion.

met the rushing young master Xin, Xin Youcheng.

Although Xin Youcheng does not learn and has no skills, he has been supervised by his strict father all the year round, although he is not attentive to cultivation, but fortunately, the spiritual endowment is excellent, and there are also high-grade exercises left by his grandfather, and he has the cultivation of the middle stage of condensation at the age of twenty-one, which is very different from him, a poor boy.

"You're finally here. Xin Youcheng came to him, looked at Zhou Chenxi, his eyes were full of smiles, patted Zhou Chenxi's shoulder and said, "Hurry up, show me what good goods you kid got this time?"

"Yes. Zhou Chenxi nodded, took out a bamboo slip from the basket on his waist, and handed it to Xin Youcheng.

"Good guy, this is even bigger than the one before me!" Xin Youcheng said happily after looking at it for a while.

"But if you compare it with the 'beast boy' of the Gao family, it is a little smaller. Then Xin Youcheng's voice changed, and he said: "It's big, but I can't beat it, and it's useless for me to take it." ”

Hearing Xin Youcheng say this, Zhou Chenxi laughed in his heart, being strong and big does not mean that he is necessarily strong, crickets are like this, and people are even more so.

However, he could see at a glance that Xin Youcheng was not satisfied with this cricket at all.

At the same time, it wasn't just crickets that displeased him. is even more dissatisfied, and the 'beast boy' in his mouth.

Although Xin Youcheng has not learned countless things, he has a lot of friends in Yizhou City, so he can naturally find out.

The 'beast boy' in the hands of Gao Jiu, the second son of the Gao family, was also sold by Zhou Chenxi.

"Being strong doesn't mean you're really strong in a fight. Zhou Chenxi opened his mouth, took out another bamboo tube from the basket, and handed it to Xin Youcheng.

"There's a little guy here, though not strong enough, but when I was looking for it before, I saw that it was only against two of its kind, but it could defeat its opponent with one against two. ”

"If Young Master Xin can trust me, I will sell it to Young Master Xin, together with the one in your hand, one hundred and thirty taels, how about it?"

When Xin Youcheng heard this, he was also interested, can the little guy defeat the opponent with one enemy and two?

This is interesting, Xin Youcheng took the bamboo tube handed by Zhou Chenxi and opened it to take a look.

It's really a little guy, much smaller than the one Zhou Chenxi gave him before, and even smaller than ordinary crickets.

Xin Youcheng was a little unconvinced, and looked up at Zhou Chenxi.

frowned, but all these years...... He bought crickets from Zhou Chenxi six years ago, and Zhou Chenxi really didn't deceive him.

"Okay, this young master will believe you once, Mi'er, and take Chenxi to get one hundred and thirty taels of silver. ”

The money of the noble son is easy to earn, but finding crickets and raising crickets is also a big craft.

The crickets that are found, the crickets that are raised, it needs to be aggressive, and it is not just found and taken out and sold. Not only that, but it needs more strength, to be able to defeat the opponent and win, otherwise who will buy the crickets in your hands?

This skill of finding crickets, Zhou Chenxi still learned from Rong Licheng in his early years, and in the deep study of the past, this skill was taught to Rong Licheng by his father.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chenxi was a little funny, it seems that his father Zhou Qin must have been a gentleman when he was a child. Shaking his head, he followed behind the little girl Mi'er who had picked him up before and took the silver.

When Zhou Chenxi left, he took out five taels from the bag and handed it to the little girl: "Buy some food for your little guy." ”

Mi'er grew up in the Xin Mansion since she was a child, and Zhou Chenxi came here a few years ago, and she was introduced when she was a child, otherwise it would be difficult for him to meet Master Xin.

Her past is also difficult, her father is a gambler and a drunkard, and he was beaten to death five years ago and died tragically on the street. And her mother also had a difficult birth seven years ago and died after giving birth to her younger brother. Now she is alone with her seven-year-old brother.

He met Xin Youcheng. At that time, there was also a small episode, Zhou Chenxi took the crickets he raised, and won the 'little general' in the hands of Master Xin, so he took this line.

"Thank you, Brother Tatsuki. The little girl took the silver taels handed by Zhou Chenxi, and her big eyes were full of happiness, because she worked in Xinfuzhong, and she only had ten taels of silver a month, and these five taels of silver were equal to half a month's salary, which was enough for their sister and brother for a month.

Zhou Chenxi nodded, then said goodbye to the little girl and left the back door of the Xin Mansion.

"Stinky boy, have you noticed any changes since you entered the city?" said the old man who had not spoken at this time.

Zhou Chenxi was stunned for a moment, looked around, change?

"No, it's the same as usual. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "It's okay, you continue to do your thing, sell the medicinal materials in your hand, buy the materials you need for the medicinal bath, and go back." ”

"Oh. ”

Zhou Chenxi was really puzzled, and asked the old man how strange he was recently, and he didn't have a clue when he spoke, which made him confused, and his heart was full of question marks.

But he is not stupid, he always mentions the matter of the Wenyuan Great Lake recently, could it be that it has something to do with the matter of the old demon emperor?

"Ask the old man, did you see something, does it have anything to do with the old demon emperor in the Wenyuan Great Lake?"

Zhou Chenxi had doubts in his heart, and he opened his mouth like this, wanting to know if it had something to do with the old demon emperor in the Wenyuan Great Lake.

"The kid is not stupid, it does have a relationship, and it is a big relationship. ”

Zhou Chenxi finally understood, and the old man was also happy, stroking his beard and saying.

"Huh?"

"I can't let you know what it is, but what I can tell you is that it's not the Old Demon Emperor. ”

"The age of the demon race is not comparable to that of the human race, and it is already a demon emperor, and immortality is a very simple matter. ”

"Life is long, even if you are trapped in the Demon Emperor Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, it is impossible to die of old age, and its age is definitely not more than 100,000 years. ”

What the old man said was already very clear, if he couldn't think it through, Zhou Chenxi would be too stupid.

"You're saying that it's only been a few tens of thousands of years since it was on the verge of being seriously wounded in a battle with the enemy?"

"Haha, not bad, yes. ”

"Okay, don't ask, it's definitely good to catch when the time comes. ”

"Listen to the old man, it's absolutely right. The old man said categorically, with a confident tone.

Zhou Chenxi nodded, not asking.

Don't ask, he's still playing the drums in his heart.

The Demon Emperor's strength was extraordinary, and it was equivalent to the realm of transforming spirits among monks.

If it can be severely injured and become what it is now, then its opponent must be extremely strong, and it must also be a supreme.

At that time, even if something happens, he will go fishing with his back.

However, the old man had taught him to cultivate for two years, and he understood the old man's personality a little better. I haven't hurt myself until now, so I guess it'll be fine.

Moreover, the old man is now connected to his own life, and if he dies, the old man who lives in his divine consciousness space will also become a thing of the past and dissipate. Thinking of this, he also relaxed his mind and stopped thinking about those troublesome things.
