In the meeting hall of the Lichen Sect, the shielding and soundproof magic array was all turned on, and the sect leader Li Tonghai was drinking tea with a gloomy expression, and the faces of the two elders Sun Lizhuo and Zhou Boqiang were also very unsightly.

Kong Lizhuo broke the dullness in the hall and said: "Now there are people everywhere in the county, saying that the county guard is going to suppress us, and he will have a showdown with us at the moon viewing conference on August 15, senior brother, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Li Tonghai put down the teacup and had a gloomy face, "Bo Qiang, let's talk about it, what is the idea of the county guard mansion this time?"

Zhou Boqiang was the youngest of the three, and he was the most intelligent among the three, he thought about it for a while, "Senior brother, it seems that the county guard should have attracted strong reinforcements this time." These rumors are supposed to be the wind released by the county guard's office, forcing us to attend the moon viewing meeting. It seems that the reinforcements brought by the county guard this time are not simple, which makes Duanmu Rong so confident. ”

With a cold snort, Li Tonghai said: "Forcing us to go to the moon viewing conference, what can we do if we don't go to him?"

Zhou Boqiang shook his head, "Senior brother, if we don't go, Duanmu Rong will directly achieve the goal of suppressing us, making the public think that we are weak, and then the various families will find trouble for their disciples everywhere at the instigation of Duanmu Rong, and the income of our Separation Sect will be weakened a lot because of this." ”

For a long time, there have been three Liding in the Lichen Sect to deter, and the disciples of the Lichen Sect can run rampant in Jianchang County. If this deterrent is gone, many families from all over the county will come to trouble the disciples of the Lichen Sect, and the Lichen Sect will really not be able to cope with that kind of situation.

It is impossible for the three Liding to go around for their disciples, and it is impossible for them to destroy one or two small families to establish their authority when the county guard is strong.

Zhou Boqiang continued: "If you don't go, you won't have a chance at all, and if you go, you can still see the opportunity to act and see how the strong reinforcements from the county guard are doing." Even if we are really suppressed on the scene, we can talk about the conditions and minimize the losses. ”

Li Tonghai looked irritable, "In this case, let's go and see together then, if Duanmu Rong is bluffing, the old man wants him to look good, is it so easy to ask for reinforcements that can stabilize us?"

Kong Lizhuo interjected: "Senior brother is right, back then, we only saw that Jianchang County was remote, and the cultivators here were weak, so we took root here. The county guard can only invite people from outside the county, if you want to stabilize us, you need at least two late stage of Liding, I doubt that Duanmu Rong can really invite it?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Second Senior Brother, Duanmu Rong has also worked in Jianchang County for a few years, he is very calm in dealing with people, he is not a reckless person, he is still sure to come this time." We are outsiders, lack of heritage, strength is on the surface, there is no support and hole cards, this is our weakness. ”

Li Tonghai slapped the table angrily, "It's really embarrassing, if it's in the Qingyang Continent, if we just pull a team of senior brothers here, we can scare the guts of this group of turtles! What kind of bullshit plan set up above has caused us to be humiliated here." ”

Senior brother said cautiously. Kong Lizhuo hurriedly stopped.

"What are you afraid of, the old man won't have a few days to live anyway. The above sent us to the Yunxiang Continent and said that they wanted us to be the vanguard of the expedition, but more than 170 years have passed, and there is not even a shadow of this matter. This poor and remote place has completely delayed our cultivation!"

The emotional Li Tonghai scolded endlessly, Kong Lizhuo and Zhou Boqiang thought of themselves, and they were also related, and the two did not stop Li Tonghai anymore and let him vent his dissatisfaction.

......

August 15, the city of Guning.

The atmosphere in the city was strange early in the morning, and acquaintances on the street would meet and talk in a sneaky whisper, and everyone had inexplicable excitement on their faces.

After a period of circulation, the statement that the county guard government wants to suppress the Lichen Sect is known to everyone, and today is the rumored August 15th, and everyone is concerned with anticipation and excitement.

The ordinary people who have been deeply affected by the Lichen Sect naturally hope that the county guard mansion can suppress the arrogance of the Lichen Sect as rumored. Over the years, civilians and merchants have been oppressed, especially recently, the Lichen Sect has been frantically accumulating wealth, which has made everyone miserable.

Near noon, the largest Quanfu restaurant in the city gradually began to liven up.

Quanfu Restaurant is located in the most prosperous area of the city, the whole restaurant has three floors, the first and second floors are casual seats, and the third floor is private rooms.

Xia Yuan and Yuehe sat at the window facing the street on the second floor of Quanfu Restaurant, ordered some special dishes of the restaurant, and served the strongest wine here, and the two chatted while drinking.

This morning, the two of them left the Grange and took a moment to come to Guning City.

There have been more or less changes in Guning City in the past few years, Yuehe has been away from Guning City for many years, Xia Yuan plans to walk around the city with Yuehe during the day, and accompany Yuehe to visit the city that is a little strange to her.

Xia Yuan was going to walk around the city with Yuehe until dark, and then go to the moon viewing conference in the evening, to be honest, the three Liding of the Dust Sect were not taken seriously by Xia Yuan at all.

Most of the houses around the restaurant are bungalows, and you can see far from the window, occasionally looking out the window, pointing out some changes in Guning City, and the two chatted casually.

Xia Yuan swept his eyes to the street and found an acquaintance, it was Boss Xu of the jewelry store, and he was passing by this street.

Xia Yuan pointed to the short and fat Boss Xu on the street, "Look, girl, that person is Boss Xu of the jewelry store." ”

"Is it the Boss Xu who helped Ling'er?" Yuehe looked at and asked.

"Yes, it's that Boss Xu, and he's still good. Later, let's go to his jewelry store, you should also buy a few sets of jewelry to dress up, and take care of Boss Xu's business by the way,"

Yuehe has a quiet temperament and is not much interested in jewelry, but Boss Xu is very good to Lan Ling, and it is also appropriate to buy a few sets of jewelry to take care of his business.

So Yuehe didn't object, nodded and agreed.

Slowly drank up a jar of wine, the two of them checked out and left Quanfu Restaurant, and walked around the city for a while before going to the jewelry store.

"Boss Xu, how is business going lately?" Xia Yuan greeted Boss Xu.

There were no customers in the jewelry store at this time, Boss Xu was wiping the necklace with a string, and when he saw the guests coming to the door, he hurriedly stopped and got up to receive him.

Hearing Xia Yuan greet him as soon as he came in, Boss Xu was stunned at first, after all, he had only met Xia Yuan once, but as a qualified businessman, he quickly remembered.

"It turned out to be far less, rare customers, my business is still the same, not good. Boss Xu beckoned Xia Yuan and Yuehe to sit down, "By the way, Yuanshao, how is Ling'er doing with you?"

"Xiaolan is good with me, she has grown well in the past few months, she is tall and her face is round, Boss Xu, don't worry. ”

"Then I'm relieved, Yuanshao came here today to buy something?"

Xia Yuan introduced Yuehe to Boss Xu: "This is my friend, Moon Fairy, I want to buy a few sets of jewelry from you." ”

When Boss Xu heard that it was a big business, his spirits perked, "Moon Fairy, which material and style do you like?"

In front of outsiders, Yuehe couldn't complain that Xia Yuan raised her identity too high, so she had to acquiesce, "Boss Xu, show me all your best sets of jewelry, as long as the style and workmanship are good, I don't care about the price." ”

Now Yuehe's eyes have opened, and with her good skills in drawing talismans, she can enter thousands of spirit stones every month, and she really doesn't care about the price of ordinary jewelry.

Boss Xu was secretly happy when he heard this, and hurriedly took out the best sets of jewelry in the store, and Yuehe pretended to be selective, and finally bought three sets of jewelry.

Yuehe buys high-end goods, and it is usually difficult to sell one set in the store a year, but this time he sold three sets at a time, and Boss Xu, who made a big business, was extremely happy.

"Boss Xu, I heard that tonight's moon viewing conference has an inside story, do you know?" Xia Yuan sat next to him for a while, and when he saw that the transaction was completed, he opened his mouth to chat with Boss Xu.

"Yuan Shao also heard the rumors?" Boss Xu lowered his voice, "I heard that the county guard mansion invited a master this time to attack the Lichen Sect at the moon viewing conference." ”

"In this way, if the Lichen Sect is really suppressed by the county guard, the common people can also live a good life. ”

"It's far less simple for you to think about it, even if the county guard mansion suppresses the Lichen Sect this time and makes its disciples no longer run rampant, but the Lichen Sect has been operating in Jianchang County for many years, it will use other means to fight back, and everyone's life may not be better at that time. ”

Xia Yuan was chatting casually, but after listening to Boss Xu's words, he became interested, "Boss Xu, tell me, how can the Lichen Sect fight back and make everyone's life difficult?"

"What is the biggest industry of the Dust Sect, do you know far less?"

Xia Yuan didn't care about this, and shook his head when he heard it.

"Far less, the biggest industry in the Dust Sect is shipping. After decades of operation, the shipping of this section of the Xiliu River in Jianchang County is now in the hands of the Lichen Sect. ”

"At that time, the Lichen Sect has suffered a loss, and it will probably take revenge in this regard. Lichen Sect is stuck in shipping, it must be that prices are skyrocketing, and business is zero! Because of this, I feel that the county guard government has suppressed Lichen Sect, and everyone's life may not be easy. ”

The Xiliu River is the main artery of Jianchang County, and the main towns in the county are built on the Xiliu River, and the shipping of the Xiliu River undertakes the main logistics in the county.

As Boss Xu said, once the Lichen Sect is stuck in the shipping and deliberately makes the logistics unsmooth, it can completely cause a crisis in people's livelihood and business in the entire Jianchang County.

Then chatted casually with Boss Xu, Xia Yuan and Yuehe got up and left the jewelry store.

Walking on the street, Xia Yuan was thinking about it while strolling around because of what Boss Xu said.

After killing the Liding of the Dust Sect, there was only one way left to destroy the Dust Sect, and Xia Yuan didn't think about Boss Xu's worries at all. However, Boss Xu talked about the industry of the Lichen Sect, which gave Xia Yuan a wake-up call.

For a long time, Xia Yuan only paid attention to the force of the Lichen Sect, ignoring other aspects. Now it seems that the Lichen Sect is still a fat sheep, and once it collapses, there will be a lot of redistribution of benefits.

Xia Yuan didn't care about these worldly interests, but mastering the distribution of these interests would undoubtedly help him dominate various relationships.

With all kinds of thoughts turning in his heart, Xia Yuan thought about it carefully.
