The bill looks like a dozen pages in total.

Due to the lack of time, Xu Yuan had time to transcribe this document in the future.

The font on each page of the document is different, but they all correspond to the important industries of the Vientiane sect in an important prefecture and county in the West Zezhou.

These things were temporarily gathered by the Black Scale Guards from all over the country at noon today.

The situation of each prefecture and county was divided into several categories according to Xu Yuan's requirements, and the sub-categories were divided into many sub-categories.

At first glance, it is not complicated.

From the agricultural farms and mineral veins facing the common people, to the wine shops in the city, to the large-scale chambers of commerce or money houses, there is even a column on the general catalog that includes the unique formation pattern technology of the Vientiane Sect.

In silence,

The Vientiane Sect Master and the Great Elder skimmed through the list roughly.

Glancing at each other, both of them saw a trace of anger and helplessness in each other's eyes.

This list includes 70% of the properties of the Vientiane Sect in Xizezhou, and more than 90% of the properties on the list are in a profitable state.

Taking a deep breath, the Vientiane Sect Master said in a deep and rapid voice:

"Childe, the properties on this list are far more than 90 million."

Xu Yuan interrupted him halfway through hearing this, sharpened his nails, and said casually:

"Don't worry, I know that the value of your property is much more than the total amount you have to compensate, isn't it too time-sensitive? It has only been more than half a month since the incident in Shengshan County, and the industries on this list are only something we are interested in. You promise to come down first, and there will be special personnel to slowly negotiate the details of the discount with you. ”

“.” The Vientiane Sect Master was silent.

The meaning of the other party's words is very clear,

Don't make up the numbers with junk assets that lose money, we've all looked into it.

When their high-level leaders in Vientiane were passing the buck to each other like headless flies, the Xiangguo Mansion had already begun to make these small preparations.

Silently,

The Vientiane Sect Master and the Great Elder stood up almost at the same time, and the Great Elder arched his hand:

"Childe, this matter is very important, and we need to return to the sect."

Although you are the sect master and the great elder, they have no right to decide this kind of amount.

Because many of the properties on this list belong to other families in the sect.

"Absolutely."

Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, signaled casually, and then commanded Xu Xinyao behind him under the gaze of the two:

"Xiaohe, come, clean up the scum of this crystal body."

The meaning is clear, you can discuss it casually, but I have to warn you that in two quarters of an hour, the Black Scales will be attacking the city.

Hearing this, the Great Elder frowned very keenly:

"Childe, can you give me some time?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly:

"Great Elder, there is no joke in the army, although I am willing to do this kind of thing, but I will not be subject to foreign military orders."

didn't speak again, they all saluted, and the two old men took Zhou Xiaohe's body out of the Xuanyin attic, and turned into two afterimages and galloped towards the depths of the mountain gate.

Seeing the figures of the two disappear from view, Xu Yuan sighed and plunged himself into the soft couch behind him, and commanded Xu Xinyao on the side:

"Go and inform the people in front, let's take a detour directly to Dongcheng."

"What?"

Xu Xinyao spoke for the first time at this time, and asked with some hesitation: "We. Don't wait for them here? ”

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly:

"We don't need to stay here, if they agree, they will naturally go to the East City to find us, if they don't. We stay here and wait for death. ”

After that, Xu Yuan waved his hand at Xu Xinyao:

"Go ahead."

“.”

Xu Xinyao was silent for a while, owed, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the wing.

Looking at Xu Xinyao's slender back, Xu Yuan suddenly said loudly:

"Xin Yao, do you see the ugliness of the sect now?"

Xu Xinyao's body stiffened slightly.

Xu Yuan laughed: "Okay, you don't need to answer, just have the answer in your heart." ”

After the words fell, Xu Xinyao walked out of the attic in silence.

The door of the wing room closed, and Xu Yuan felt that the soft couch beside him had sunk a little, and the scent of flowers came again.

Lou Ji's two looming jade legs are intertwined, with Erlang's legs crossed, the jade feet are half-leaking, and the high-heeled lotus boots are swaying:

"Changtian, do you think they will agree?"

Xu Yuan sniffed the fragrance of flowers and replied with a chuckle:

"Of course it will be given, ninety million will not shake their foundation, even if someone wants to break the net, no one else in their sect will agree."

Lou Ji smiled when she heard this, and lowered her eyes to play with her slender and sharp nails:

"You've thought it through, but Changtian you were giving an order to Yuan Hao just now~"

Xu Yuan glanced at the old aunt with sideways eyes, and smiled slightly:

"Sister, are you worried that Yuan Hao won't obey orders?"

Lou Ji nodded and said with a smile:

"That guy will probably be impatient with your order, the current Vientiane City is like a stripped man for Yuan Hao, for a pervert who is in a hurry~"

Xu Yuan shook his head:

"Although Yuan Hao's guy is a little crazy, he still has a number in the war, even if he has an order, he has to wait for the follow-up reinforcements to enter the city, and no matter how much he urges, he will have to go up in two quarters of an hour."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan grinned:

"And I'm not already ready to go to the East Side?"

Lou Jifeng's eyes narrowed:

"So, what you just said was to scare those two old men?"

Xu Yuan was silent for a while and sighed:

"Not exactly, but if war can be avoided, it is better to avoid it."

"Is it because you can't bear it?" Lou Ji asked with interest.

“.”

Xu Yuan didn't speak immediately, he gently rubbed his knuckles, and after a while, he shook his head:

"There's no need to say these things, but there's a reason for that."

Hearing this, Lou Ji raised her hand and touched his head softly, and whispered softly:

"Changtian is really kind."

Xu Yuan snorted, staring at his hand with lowered eyes, and his voice couldn't hear the emotion:

"No, the main reason why I'm reluctant to do it is because the benefits will be low, and the reason why our plan is implemented so quickly is largely because of the mental calculation and unintentionality, and the mortal resistance of the Vientiane Sect will destroy everything, and our casualties will become larger.

"Even if they win, Vientiane City will completely turn into battlefield ruins, and the treasury inside their mountain gate will most likely be burned down by them under the fish death net.

"And,

"Even if there is a legitimate reason, destroying the Vientiane Sect will affect the attitude of the Tianxia Sect towards us, and otherwise, it will make them relax their vigilance."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looked sideways, but found that Lou Ji was staring at him without blinking:

"What, I said it wrong?"

Lou Ji's beautiful eyes bent two crescents, :

"Changtian, you really became handsome."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:

"Can you see me with a mask?"

"Sister, of course, refers to your behavior."

Lou Ji said faintly, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, why do you have to kill the sect master's daughter?" ”

"To make that sect master feel pain." Xu Yuan didn't want to reply directly.

Lou Ji nodded approvingly:

"It's a reason, sister, and I don't like his kind of title."

Xu Yuan's eyes were a little strange when he heard this.

Lou Ji pinched him hard in disgust:

"What's the matter, although my sister is a bit of a femme fatale, she can be regarded as a conscience~"

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart.

Lou Ji snorted lightly, her slender fingers rolled up a strand of sideburns, and curled it on her fingertips, revealing a trace of remembrance in her eyes:

"My sister used to be a pariahs in these sects, isn't it strange that she feels unhappy?"

Xu Yuan heard this: "It's not strange. ”

The next moment,

Lou Ji suddenly came to Xu Yuan, stared at him and said with a smile: "But for Changtian, this reason is not enough. ”

After being silent for a while, Xu Yuan still said truthfully:

"I know that Zhou Xiaohe."

“.”

Lou Ji understood Xu Yuan's intentions in an instant, after all, he was doing intelligence.

Extinguish the mouth.

But looking at Xu Yuan's expression, she was very understanding and didn't speak.

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and whispered:

"She and another person have seen me and Ran Qingmo in Shengshan County, although they didn't recognize our real identities, but she may recognize us at any time with her identities."

"Well done." Lou Ji praised.

Xu Yuan exhaled, looked in the direction of Shengshan County, and was noncommittal:

"At the beginning, in order to save the people, the two of them traveled thousands of miles to Shengshan County to help the border army kill demons, but now, her choice is also correct."

Hearing this, Lou Ji raised his hand and pulled Xu Yuan's head over and leaned against his shoulder, stroked his hair, and whispered:

"Changtian, don't think about it so much, your eldest brother and your father have done a good job, they should be killed if they have different positions, and if they don't kill them, they will kill you in turn."

As he spoke, Lou Ji paused and said in detail:

"Come, tell my sister the name of the other person."

"Dead."

Xu Yuan said lightly: "That person is a fool, he can't accept what his sect is doing, and insists on going to Shengshan County to kill demons to atone for his crimes. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan sighed:

"Xin Yao's belief is most likely because of these people."

Lou Ji raised her eyebrows when she heard this, didn't speak, didn't ask, just gently stroked Xu Yuan's head in her arms, but in her heart she had silently written down this person.

The Day of the Righteous Death is very good and admirable.

But for Changtian's safety, she had to make sure that this person had died under the tide of demon beasts.

Vientiane Sect, the Great Hall of Deliberations.

After the list was briefly circulated, the high-level officials of Vientiane directly exploded.

Although their necks had begun to bleed, this did not affect their unwillingness to give up their interests.

The Vientiane Sect Master and the Great Elder were silent, looking at the chaos below, scolding and discussing.

"Ninety million taels? They are trying to destroy the foundation of my Vientiane Sect! ”

"Sect Master, even if he wins a complete war with my Vientiane Sect, he won't be able to grab any benefits from the Xiangguo Mansion! Let's fight! Xiangguofu doesn't dare! ”

"I think we can consider negotiating, but we have to pay in installments, and some of the properties on this list can be handed over, and those industries that are needed for the lives of those untouchables can be given to them, but important industries such as demon beasts, formation patterns, and medicinal materials must not be given to them, if they are given, it will shake our foundation."

"What do you mean?! Those agricultural and sideline equipment industries are our Gu family, why don't you say hand over the monster industry?! ”

"Demon beasts? You are embarrassed to mention that this is the foundation of the sect, if there are no several large-scale demon beast cultivation farms, the demon vein chamber of commerce will directly have no supply, and the income of the sect will be greatly affected! Not to mention that we need a military reorganization, and you can see those flying monsters attacking today."

"It's only two quarters of an hour, and you still want to argue?!"

Vientiane Sect Master Li shouted, his gloomy gaze swept over the people below, and then fell on the body of the fifth elder Xia Wenlin, and his tone softened:

"Old Five, what do you think about this matter?"

Xia Wenlin had been listening silently just now, and when he heard this, he got up and bowed to the elders, and said in a quick tone:

"We have to try to keep the industry, these assets are chickens that can lay eggs."

"I just calculated a little in my heart, the sect has accumulated so many years of accumulation and can take out about 10 million taels of cash, and it may actually be more, and it should barely be able to take out about 20 million taels, and it is still about 70 million taels away from 90 million."

The Vientiane Sect has existed for thousands of years and has developed so far, and it has gained a lot of benefits, but it also has a lot of expenses.

After all, cultivation is the most resource-consuming, and the welfare of the children of the sect is excellent.

Speaking of which, Xia Wenlin bowed:

"My Xia family is willing to donate one million taels to help the sect tide over the difficulties."

The words fell, and there was silence.

Donate money?

Donate fart.

When the Vientiane Sect Master and the Great Elder saw the silent crowd, their faces suddenly became gloomy.

The following are all at the helm of the family, except for those handed over to the sect, these people usually have no less benefits.

But now that it's time to come, they already feel that many people below are starting to make a small calculation.

Ban Yu,

The Great Elder spoke:

"If the sect does not exist, those industries are the fat in front of the mouths of other sect families, the Nie family, donate three million taels."

The Sect Master also spoke:

"Everyone, please think about it carefully, my Zhou family will also donate three million taels."

Hearing the words of the two leaders, although they were very reluctant, the elders below also donated some silver to a greater or lesser extent.

Xia Wenlin listened carefully and exhaled a long breath:

"Now that we have made up 40 million taels, we need to set aside some of them for backup, and the cash cannot be broken, and once it is broken, many industries will not be able to operate."

"How much to keep?" The Vientiane Sect Master asked in a deep voice.

Xia Wenlin didn't speak, and looked at He Jigu opposite:

"I'm not in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, I have to ask Elder He about this."

Although he is fighting for power and profit, He Jigu still has two brushes in business, and he summed it up slightly in his heart, and replied quickly:

"Considering that a part of the industry has to be mortgaged, the impact of these gaps must be at least 10 million."

Hearing this, Xia Wenlin then asked:

"Elder He, sixty million taels is roughly equivalent to how much inheritance my sect has?"

He Jigu pondered for a moment and replied:

"According to the market price, about thirty percent, the loss of thirty percent of the industry, although our sect's vitality is greatly damaged, but it will not shake the foundation, Xiangguo Mansion is sure that we will not die because of this matter."

When Xia Wenlin heard this, he let out a long sigh:

"Now it is useless to say that this matter is useless, the purpose of the Xiangguo government to enter the industry is definitely to enter Xizezhou, and industries such as money and chambers of commerce will inevitably intervene, and we have to prepare in advance."

He Jigu raised his eyebrows:

"Asset transfer?"

Xia Wenlin shook his head and pointed to the directory on the table:

"Xiangguofu can find out these things, it must have been prepared a long time ago, and the small trick of transferring assets is naturally impossible to achieve, but we can make some fuss about those clerks at the bottom.

"Also, we have to dispose of the building materials of the ghost array as soon as possible, and we have to get the person who was captured alive back, otherwise we can only be controlled by others forever."

Speaking of which,

Xia Wenlin arched his hand towards the Vientiane Sect Master:

"Sect Master, we have come to this now, we need to be ready for the impact, and I will give you a detailed plan in the future."

It was a few minutes late
