Chapter 21: The Man Behind the Scenes
Jing Chen said goodbye with a smile and walked out of the room, and the people outside immediately surrounded him, looking at him with blank eyes, wanting to ask, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Good brother, did you promise the duke?" Kaina asked.
Jing Chen nodded.
Call.
With a long sigh, Kayina said solemnly: "Thank you." ”
"Good sister, you won't just give such a little verbal thanks, right?" Jing Chen smiled evilly and raised his arms, looking like he wanted to hug.
"Badass, don't you look at what this place is?"
Kayina's face was embarrassed, and there were her relatives and elders next to her, how could she give him a sweet taste in person.
"Oh, I see, I went to look for you that night when no one was around."
"Get out."
"Alright, then we'll take our leave."
Jing Chen seized the opportunity, pulled his father, and left in a hurry, completely ignoring the inquiring eyes of Sale's son and granddaughter.
"Jiayina, tell me where Jingchen came from and what skills he has." Seeing that Jing Chen had run away, Sale's granddaughter pulled Kayina over, insisting on asking clearly.
"I still have a job, I'll go first, and I'll talk about it later when I'm free."
Now that the Duke of Sailer is fine, Gayina doesn't have to worry, she doesn't want to face her arrogant cousin, so she naturally slips away as soon as possible, so as not to be entangled and upset.
"You ......"
Sailor's granddaughter was so angry that this Kayina dared to despise herself so much.
"Daddy?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, it's safest." Saler's son laughed at himself and turned away.
"Old Liu?"
"Miss, I still have to deal with the people who are about to go crazy here."
Liu Lao ran faster, and before he finished speaking, the person was already gone.
"Damn, you've all done this to me, then I'll do it myself."
With a resentful stamp, Thaler's granddaughter turned and went into her grandfather's room, intending to ask directly.
The father and son of the Jing family returned home safely.
Jing Chen told the story again.
"I see, I know why Duke Thaler was injured?" Jing Dafu slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.
"Ah, wasn't the Duke injured by the Ice Demon?" Jing Chen was a little puzzled, there were obviously other meanings in Dad's words.
"Stupid, Cele is a duke, and he personally came to deal with the ice demon and dig up the ice essence mine of huge value, how could he not be fully prepared, then the ice demon will definitely not be able to hurt him."
Jing Chen frowned slightly, then there was only one explanation, "There was an accident." ”
Jing Dafu nodded, "Yes, but it is the territory of the Ice Demon, and there will be no other creatures, but the accident happened, which means that someone deliberately made trouble." ”
"Who?"
"Whoever can make a profit, of course, is who?"
Jing Chen thought for a moment, Duke Sale's deal with the Ice Demon was to dig up the Ice Yuan Essence Stone, which was a good thing for everyone in the Polar Star Empire, and the people in his own country would definitely not stop it.
Then the results speak for themselves.
It's still the power of the Qinghan Empire.
The goal is naturally to draw money from the bottom of the kettle and bring the Polestar Empire to its knees.
"It's still them, I didn't expect them to have martial spirit-level powerhouses in Icefield City." Jing Chen gritted his teeth and said.
After so many years, the other party is still biting them and wants to kill them all, which can be described as extremely vicious.
Jing Dafu's expression was much more serious, "This is a natural thing, after all, our father and son are here, they will definitely send someone to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots." ”
"But with the emperor's protection, the means they can use are very limited, and they can only oppress us little by little, but you have become a sword cultivator, which makes them have a great sense of crisis, so they are very aggressive."
"So what do we do? Daddy, do you have a way? The Polestar Empire is weak, and I'm afraid it won't last long. Jing Chen worried.
Jing Dafu smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, I was able to lay out in the Polestar Empire back then, so I naturally thought that the Qinghan Empire might make trouble, and I have been prepared for a long time, and I will let them withdraw soon." ”
"But it's going to be difficult to get someone from that force to leave the Polestar Empire."
"It's only like this, or I'm too weak, otherwise I will kill them directly, and they will naturally get out."
"Haha, don't be impatient, you're still young, and your cultivation speed is already very fast now." Jing Dafu smiled and comforted, he didn't want his son to make a mistake in a hurry.
"Understood."
Next, the father and son talked for a long time, finalized the follow-up matters, and it was already noon, Jing Chen had lunch, and still entered the secret room to cultivate.
He hadn't completely absorbed the vitality of refining evil spirits, and in the process of helping Duke Sailor get rid of the ice demonic qi, he also intercepted a part of the vitality, and he needed to refine it well.
As night fell, it was already dark in Icefield City.
Heavy snow fell again, obscuring the entire city.
In the headquarters of the Gut family, Guterrie was discussing matters against the Jing family with several family elders.
Now their family's financial resources and personnel have been sharply reduced, and they can only stick to the industry.
However, in the face of the Jing family's determined attack, their industry has become more and more unstable, almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
"Family master, it's time, go directly to the Jing family to challenge, right?"
The Great Elder impatiently urged, if the family continued like this, it would be doomed.
"yes, if we don't act, we'll run out of money."
was cheated by Jing Dafu for millions of gold coins, and bought an exercise that could not be cultivated or sold, and the entire family's funds were tight.
At this time, there was an accident, many people were frostbitten, and many people were killed.
The cost of treatment, the cost of burial, and the cost of recruiting new personnel and warriors all added up, and the entire family, which was like a mountain, was overwhelmed.
Everyone was full of resentment and wanted to take revenge on the Jing family.
They are certainly not the opponents of Jing Dafu in business, but they are martial arts families, and some are strong, so they can directly challenge and decide the ownership of business interests.
This is the privilege of the strong.
It is also the basic rule of this world, the strong are respected, and the weak can only passively submit, otherwise, it is a dead end.
The rules are so simple and clear.
Guterley gritted his teeth for a while, and now the family is in a very poor situation, but the mysterious person who has been supporting him is gone, and he can no longer get money.
Seeing that the crowd was excited, he couldn't suppress it, so he had no choice but to speak: "Okay, we will attack the Jing family, but we can't challenge us, we must let them initiate." ”
According to the rules, whoever starts the challenge first must report the name of the challenger first.
The Gut family has to deal with the Jing family, and even more so against Jing Chen, so they must make sure that Jing Chen is on the list before they can make a move, so that they can directly ruin the future of the Jing family, and they can also get a huge reward from the mysterious person.
"Understand, we will definitely let Jing Chen's name appear on the list."
Several elders glanced at each other and smiled with satisfaction, they naturally knew what the head of the family was thinking, to ruin Jing Chen and ruin the hope of the Jing family's rise.
"Okay, that's it."
Guterrie finally took a stand.
"A group of old guys at the level of martial artists actually conspired to calculate a kid who became a martial artist, you are really shameless." An old voice suddenly sounded.
"Who?"
"Who is the rat generation, who dares to come to our Gute house to spread wild?"
"Look for death."
"Let's take it together."
Several elders rushed out of the room in a menacing manner, besieging the figure outside the door.
Call.
The strong wind howled, and a black stick shadow swept out, like black lightning, cutting through the wind and snow, instantly sweeping a distance of several zhang, hitting the bodies of several elders.
Puff puff......
Several elders spurted out a mouthful of blood, and their bodies fell to the ground, and their faces were full of horror: "Martial Spirit Strongman." ”
