Inside the temple

"Lord City Lord, these are the three Biling Pills and some Ten Demon Scatter that can quickly improve the root bones, just take it as some of Xiao Ding's intentions, and I hope the City Lord will accept it with a smile."

"Oh? The head of the Xiao family has a heart."

This city lord is a middle-aged man who is about the same age as Xiao Ding, named Gao Tianfang, but judging from the tone of his answer, he doesn't seem to have much interest, not salty or light, it is very appetizing, but Xiao Ding does not dare to slack off, and continues with a smile: "Over the years, Qingzhou City has been prosperous under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, and the people are healthy. It is precisely because of this that my Xiao family has been able to develop until now."

"The Xiao family master laughed, since I took over the position of the city lord's mansion, I should do my best to live up to the emperor's grace, Xiao family master, you and I are both smart people, don't beat around the bush if there is anything, it's better to say it directly!"

"Hehehe! Xiao Ding is stupid, but it makes the city lord laugh", as for this, Xiao Ding immediately said: "Actually, this time Xiao Ding dared to invite the city lord to drive, in fact, there is something to ask for, the city lord is afraid that he already knows that this kind of treasure medicine is too precious, the Xiao family does not dare to swallow it alone, for this reason, the Xiao family is willing to give thirty percent to the city lord's mansion, I only hope that the city lord can give me the Xiao family protection."

At this time, Gao Tianfang slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and did not look at Xiao Ding, but slowly said: "Fifty percent."

"Fifty percent?"

As soon as this remark was made, the people of the Xiao family were dissatisfied, and Xiao Ding was also taken aback by this high heaven, this is simply insatiable and the lion opens his mouth!

As the head of the Xiao family, he naturally knows better than everyone that these treasure medicines are not as good as the cabbage on the street, and the profits are quite terrible.

At this time, some of the deacons in the hall were also a little unable to sit still, but after all, this Gao Tianfang was the city lord of Qingzhou City, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Lord of the city, isn't this fifty percent too much?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Xiao family master, I believe you know this kind of treasure medicine better than anyone else, without my city lord's mansion as a backer, it will only bring trouble to your Xiao family, fifty percent, this is already my lowest bottom line, if the Xiao family master is still unhappy, then let Gao never come and leave."

Seeing that Gao Tian was about to leave if he couldn't talk, Xiao Ding's brows were about to wrinkle, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Hehehe! The city lord laughed, how can I, Xiao Ding, be that stingy person, five percent of the five achievements, and I will rely on the city lord's mansion a lot in the future."

In this way, a few days have passed, since the Xiao family and the City Lord's Mansion reached an agreement, the Xiao family's business has become more and more prosperous, and some people have come out to make trouble during this period, but the City Lord's Mansion immediately came forward to arrest these people directly into the prison by thunderous means, and since then, no one dares to come to trouble the Xiao family.

Of course, with the City Lord's Mansion as a backer, there are naturally many benefits, in the past, the Xiao family would occasionally encounter horse bandits when transporting goods to other cities, but since there was an army as an escort, such things were very rare.

In this way, Xiaojia Shifang is not only open in Qingzhou City, but even some other states and counties have the shadow of Xiao's shops, and the business can be said to be getting bigger and bigger.

"Xiao family, hum!".

The first place in the lobby of the Su family, Su Ao has been restless all day because of the Xiao family's affairs these days, perhaps the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, he directly pushes down the tea set on the side with a flick of his hand, and suddenly makes a "ping-pong" sound, and the water inside splashes to the ground.

"How is my Su family's market doing these days?" Su Ao asked.

"Back to the head of the family, our Su family's business has been deteriorating for more than a month, and now it is... I can't make ends meet, I guess it won't take long, my Su family ......", this person didn't dare to finish his words, but everyone could understand the meaning.

"Smack!" Su Ao slapped the table again, and said angrily: "What a Xiao family, it's just too much of a deception, what about the Liu family?" ”

The people in the hall shook their heads and sighed with a face: "Because the Liu family purchased a large number of medicinal materials last time, many of the Liu family's shops on the market are now closed."

Hearing this, Su Ao was struck by lightning, and if it continued like this, then the Liu family would be the end of his Su family.

At this time, someone from outside the door suddenly came in to report and said, "The head of the family, the head of the Liu family has arrived outside the door and said that there is something important to discuss with you."

......

However, I, because I became the aunt of the Xiao family, so Xiao Ding specially ordered his subordinates to vacate a secluded room for me, as for those dirty work, it was naturally not my turn to do it, and when there was more time, my cultivation naturally did not dare to fall, although I still failed to break through to the Jiedan, but I could clearly feel that my cultivation had improved again.

During this period, Xiao Yemei occasionally came to me, and her complexion was obviously much better than before, at least she was no longer preoccupied all day.

"Shen Lang, I want to go out hunting today, I wonder if you can accompany me?" Xiao Yemei asked.

"Naturally".

After a few days, the scenery outside the city was still the same, Xiao Yemei and I came to the previous riverside again, at a glance, sparkling, in the sunset reflection is particularly beautiful.

"Because of the Xiao family, I haven't come out to play for a long time, thank you, thank you for being willing to come with me."

"Speaking of which, I'm just a subordinate of the Xiao family, Miss commanded, Shen Lang should follow."

"Shen Lang, what do you think of your young lady and me?"

I don't know why Xiao Yemei suddenly asked such a question, but I thought about it for a while and replied: "Miss's family background has been more solid than other people's children since she was a child, and there is such a father who loves you and loves you, I have seen many people become arrogant and cruel because of this, but Miss, you have always maintained yourself, and you have not been easily lost by the things in front of you, which is very commendable."

"Is that all you see?" At this moment, Xiao Yemei seemed to be a little lost.

"Actually, I prefer that my background is not so complicated, I remember that it was my eighth birthday, my father's enemies suddenly found me and my mother, until this moment, I still clearly remember how my mother fell in front of me, she used all her strength to block the thief's knife for me, and later, I was saved, but my mother ...... To this day I still don't want to forgive my father, who killed my mother at that time."

"Sometimes, I wish I was born in an ordinary family, at least there will not be so many disturbances, my mother is probably still alive now, and I don't have to worry about this son and that son coming to the door all day long."

On this day, for some reason, Xiao Yemei told me a lot, and by the time we returned to Xiao's house, it was already dark.

I was still busy practicing for the next few days, but I still hadn't made a breakthrough.

The vitality of a small place like Qingzhou City is too thin, and it is not possible to break through to the Yudan period in one or two days, but on this day, I was in the middle of cultivation at the time, but suddenly the invitation sent by Su Shaobai, the young master of the Su family, said that he wanted to invite me to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a banquet.

Originally, I didn't have much interest in this kind of banquet between rich boys, but when I think about it, I really want to know what kind of tricks they will play next. So I agreed.

"Are you really going? If you go, they will definitely change their ways to make things difficult for you, and besides, I said this casually at the time, and when my father is angry, I will explain to him immediately, I believe he will not blame you again", Xiao Yemei said with some concern.

"I appreciate Miss's kindness, but even if I refuse them today, they will still find me in the future, and I can't hide from them, and besides, I'm really a little curious about what they will do to me next?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yemei frowned slightly and said, "Since you insist on going, then I will accompany you, I will not let them bully you like this."

Unitary time

Xiao Yemei, the young lady of the Xiao family, and I drove the carriage to the door of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Drunken Immortal Building is a famous Fengyue place in Qingzhou City, I heard that the girls in it are all like flowers and jade, beautiful and moving, but there is a rule in this Drunken Immortal Building, that is, selling art does not sell oneself, but even so, it is still a place for some rich sons to stay for a long time.

However, the most worthy of everyone in this drunken immortal building is a woman named Yan Yufei, I heard that this woman is naturally beautiful, talented and talented, and the pipa in one hand is simply a natural sound in the world, however, I heard that this Yan Yufei has to cover half of her face with a silk scarf every time she comes forward, and no one has seen her true appearance so far.

As soon as he entered, the old bustard of the drunken immortal building greeted him: "This son, come for the first time!" Come on, let me introduce you to some girls", she was just saying, and suddenly she set her eyes on Xiao Yemei's body.

"Yo~ this is ......"

Before leaving, I asked Xiao Yemei to dress up as a man, and deliberately dressed up, this ordinary person can't see anything famous, but I forgot that this old bustard has been in the place for a long time, and her eyesight is naturally different from ordinary people, and she has obviously recognized it this time.

However, with a faint glow in her eyes, my reassuring spell was cast on her.

This mantra is mostly used to control people's hearts, and it is not very harmful, and it will be lifted by itself later, but the things of the day and place will become blank, and nothing will be remembered.

"This is the invitation of the Su family, and I am invited to come to the banquet."

"Yo~ It turned out to be a distinguished guest! Little Liuzi, take the guests upstairs, Tianzi No. 1".
