"You just let him go?" Mu Yi sneered, it seemed that no matter where they were, whether they were the so-called city guards or the officials, they were all wine bags and rice bags, "I paid five hundred immortals for your city lord's mansion to rent this shop, can't you fulfill some of your obligations!"

"Oh, you rented this shop from our City Lord's Mansion?" the young general glanced at Mu Yi unexpectedly, and only then did he notice that he was a great monk in the Yuan Infant Stage.

"It turns out that the predecessor is a monk in the infancy of the Yuan, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. "The young man only has the cultivation of the early stage of the spiritual void, and after seeing Mu Yi's cultivation is profound, he took a deep look, "Senior, rest assured, since it is a shop rented from the City Lord's Mansion, of course our city defense army has to protect it." Zhang San and Wang Liu, you will stay in front of this store in the future, and if you encounter troublemakers, you will be arrested directly. ”

Mu Yi was stunned by him, he didn't expect the other party to be so simple, and then waved his hand to refuse, put two people standing guard at the door, then there is still business at the door.

"That's not necessary, we are open to do business, not Yamen. ”

The young general looked up and laughed when he heard this. Mu Yi paid attention to his appearance and saw that he was quite heroic. A slightly blackened face with sharp edges and thick lines, obviously formed by years of grinding, and the nose is always unconsciously sniffing something, as if always looking for prey. Looking at his eyes again, there was a sense of energy, and there was a tenacity in his confidence, and two eyebrows were inserted obliquely from his temples, like two long swords out of the sheath.

Although a person's appearance cannot determine his own good or evil, it can reveal his character and experience. Mu Yi doesn't know how to meet each other, but from the details of the other party's face, it can be seen that this young officer is not the kind of officer who is accustomed to bullying the good and fearing the evil, and wants to rub oil wherever he goes.

"Since the seniors don't want them to guard, then forget it. The young officer smiled, the lines of his face softened, "But don't worry, we'll protect this shop from the people of the Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce." ”

"That's pretty much it. Mu Yi snorted, the other party's tone and appearance made him believe it a little, "By the way, is the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce very powerful, and who is that dead fat man." ”

"That fat pig is the leader of the branch of the Qinglong Trading House in our Giant Wood City, as for the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce" The young man suddenly raised his face and stared at Mu Yi's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from it, "It is indeed a behemoth, even our City Lord's Mansion has been crushed by them." ”

Mu Yi's brows tightened when he heard this, and then he stretched out again: "It's just a chamber of commerce, you guys are also a big city." We have an old saying, called 'a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake of the ground', your city lord's mansion can't even control a foreign chamber of commerce?"

"The matter here is complicated, so it is inconvenient to tell the seniors one by one. The young officer was not annoyed by Mu Yi's words, but just shook his head slightly, "Our city defense army will ensure the safety of the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce, but we can't control other things." If the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce can still operate as usual after a month, the people from our City Lord's Mansion will naturally come back to meet their seniors and leave first. By the way, I am Hu Shan, the commander of the city defense army, and my predecessors can come to the city defense army station to find me if there is anything. ”

Hu Shan's words were neither humble nor arrogant, neither frightened by Mu Yi's cultivation, nor arrogant because he was the commander of the city defense army, Mu Yi was very satisfied.

As soon as he sent away this team of city defense troops, Yue Ting's figure appeared in the distance, and when he saw Mu Yi and the others standing at the gate, he waved at them from afar: "It's done, go back, you don't have to greet me at the door." ”

"Brother Yue, it's really time for you to come back. Lin Zi held his forehead and sighed, "We just sent off the plague god, and you arrived in a hurry." ”

"What plague god, someone is making trouble?" Yue Ting arrived at the door as he spoke, and followed the two of them into the store.

"But no, just now there was a dead fat man who came to collect protection money, and then a group of city defense troops came to suit good people, but it didn't work at all. Lin Zi was quick to talk about things in general terms.

"How did you do it?" Yue Ting leaned against the counter on the side and stretched his waist, "If you open a store, it's normal to encounter this kind of ruffian, just give some benefits." But don't think about relying on any city defense army, those are the goods that eat people and don't spit out bones. ”

"I thought so too, but this ruffian is not like a scoundrel who only wants to benefit. Lin Zi said helplessly, "Not only did he ask for money, but he also asked us to give them the Danfang Formation." ”

Yue Ting jumped up when he heard this: "You gave it?"

"How is it possible, we are not stupid. Mu Yi shook his head and said, "And this person is not a ruffian, but the manager of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Qinglong Chamber of Commerce?" Yue Ting repeated unexpectedly, and then smiled, "No wonder they want our Danfang, it turned out to be them." ”

"The eldest brother knows the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, and their background is very deep. Mu Yi pressed his temples gently, this matter really gave him a headache, "The commander of the city defense army said that the city lord's mansion gave the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce three points. ”

"Peers are enemies. Yue Ting squeezed his eyes and glanced at Mu Yi, "Let's talk about this later." By the way, second brother, I just went to inquire, your shop is expensive. ”

"Is the rent expensive?" Mu Yi was stunned, and then the anger in his heart surged, he trusted the woman named Mei'er, but he didn't expect to be deceived by her, "How much more expensive! I'll go to her to settle accounts!

"You put out the fire first, but it's not entirely the girl's fault, it's that you're in the wrong place. Yue Ting stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, "I went to other houses to inquire, they rented the shops here for two hundred immortal marrow a year, and it was this Qinglong Chamber of Commerce that was rented to them. ”

Lin Zi scratched his face in surprise, and said blankly: "Could it be that the shops here are all monopolized by the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce?"

"It's scarier than a monopoly. Yue Ting raised his eyebrows, "This Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is not simple, it is not just a Chamber of Commerce in Giant Wood City, but the largest force. He has the right to dispose of all the shops in the city. ”

Mu Yi showed an incredulous expression: "How is it possible, since it is the territory of Jumu City, shouldn't the City Lord's Mansion be responsible for all the affairs." This Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is said to be very large, and Jumu City is just a branch of it, why would it climb to the head of the City Lord's Mansion over the world. ”

"That's right. Yue Ting nodded, "In our eyes, this kind of thing is simply a fantasy. However, on this kind of cultivation planet, it is a normal thing. ”

"That's why. Lin Zi's small eyes widened, and he really couldn't understand this kind of thing.

Yue Ting sighed and said, "Because the city lords here often change, but the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is like a king of ten thousand years, lying firmly here. ”

"Oh?" Mu Yi raised his eyebrows, as if he understood a little. According to this, the people of the City Lord's Mansion are outsiders.

Yue Ting continued: "The world here is where the strong are respected, as long as the strength is strong, you can occupy a city and enjoy the cultivation resources in it. The current city lord of Jumu City, Sun Hao, only occupied this city after defeating the previous city lord ten years ago. ”

"What kind of cultivation is this Sun Hao?" Mu Yi asked, since the strong people here are respected, he couldn't help but think about it.

"The beginning of the void. Yue Ting said.

The Void Period was still far away for him, Mu Yi put aside this unrealistic idea and put his thoughts on this matter again: "In other words, every City Lord will establish a new City Lord Mansion, so it can't compete with the Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce that has been entrenched here." ”

"Yes, and the Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce is not only in business, their cultivation is also very high. Therefore, even if the City Lord's Mansion was dissatisfied with the Blue Dragon Society, he did not dare to oppose them openly. The shops in the city are supposed to be owned by the City Lord's Mansion, but they are actually controlled by the Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Sun Hao also acquiesced to this situation, whether it was renting a shop from the City Lord's Mansion or the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce. ”

Mu Yi frowned and said, "This is really messy." Renting a shop from the City Lord's Mansion costs five hundred immortal marrows, and the Dao Qinglong Chamber of Commerce only needs two hundred immortal marrows, so a fool can go back to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Yue Ting smiled: "Second brother, you are scolding yourself." ”

"Isn't it that I don't know the situation, I just came to Jumu City, I don't even understand words, and my eyes are black. Mu Yi spread his hands helplessly.

"The City Lord's Mansion is looking for outsiders like us. Yue Ting shook his fan and said, "Jumu City is a commercial city, and the oil and water in the shops are the most sufficient, more than taxes. Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion has always wanted to meddle in the shops in the city, but the locals know that the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is powerful, how could they go to the City Lord's Mansion to rent shops. Therefore, they took advantage of their convenience in controlling the city defense army, and when they encountered the living, they went to the pit. ”

"Isn't this still a pit? Mu Yi was indignant in his heart, "It's okay to be more expensive, it's not the same as what Qinglong Chamber of Commerce protection money to give." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Yue Ting sighed, "The Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce just collects some money, and also asks the store to hand over the various secret recipes in their hands, which is the most unbearable." ”

"Then what are we going to do, it took so much money to open, we can't close our doors. Lin Zi squeezed a bitter gourd face, very distressed.

Mu Yi was also very depressed, he spent most of the immortal marrow on his body to rent this shop, and it was too much of a loss to leave like this. And listening to the fat man named Zhu Fei, the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is very powerful, and the surrounding cities are all monopolized by them.

"What kind of door to close, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and the city defense army also said that they will ensure that the people of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce will not come to the door to make trouble. Mu Yi snorted coldly, very unconvinced, "Big brother, how is the business you discussed, have the raw materials been solved?" ”

"I went to more than a dozen stores, and finally found the cheapest one, and according to the cost they gave, our profit was at least 30%. Yue Ting shook his head and said.

Finally hearing the good news, Mu Yi smiled and said, "This is not appropriate." Let's do our own business, what does the Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce do? ”
