Chapter 200: The Auction
It's been three days since he came to Nangong's house, Chu Ming has nothing to do except wander around every day, and he has never entered the foreign land where the Nangong family is located, and even today he saw the head of the Nangong family, Wan'er's uncle, for the first time.
"Chu Ming-there happened to be some trouble in the clan recently, so I didn't come to see you for the first time because I delayed it, don't worry about it!"
Nangong is proud of his name, but he doesn't mean to despise Chu Ming, his nephew and son-in-law, and he is really too busy to take a break.
"Uncle's words are serious, as the head of the family, it is natural for you to be a little busy!"
Chu Ming was polite and authentic.
Nangong Ao nodded again and again, and praised: "Yes, you are very good, no wonder you can lay such a big foundation for the Mercenary Guild at such a young age!" β
Nangong Ao praised it again, and then said with a straight face: "Speaking of your mercenary guild, do you have any plans to take advantage of the situation to set up a branch when you come to Apocalypse City this time?" β
"The younger generation does have this meaning, but it is just the doorway in this city...... I haven't figured it out for a while. β
Nangong Aoyan smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "This is not simple, in addition to our Nangong family and Tianqi Pavilion, there are also three major families that are a little interesting!" Of course, in terms of strength, the so-called three major families are not in the stream at all, but they are the head snakes, and they control the business on the surface all the year round, and if you want to enter the Apocalypse City, it is also indispensable to win over. β
Chu Ming also took this into account, and he had not taken action for a long time in the past few days, one was to consume the patience of the three major families as much as possible, so that they could take the initiative to mention this matter, after all, the huge interests behind the mercenary guild could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and he didn't believe that the three families were not moved by this.
Second, I also want to see the attitude of the Nangong family, I am afraid that there will be any grievances between them and the three major families or the Apocalypse Pavilion, and I can't wait to contact them, which will make the family feel a lot of heart.
"The future of your mercenary guild is good, and my Nangong family also wants to get some light, is this no problem?"
"The Nangong family is willing to support, and the younger generation naturally can't ask for it! Uncle, you think this is good, the mercenary guild's dividends in Apocalypse City, the Nangong family and the guild each account for forty percent, and the remaining twenty percent is allocated to the other four. β
Forty percent! That's a lot of money! Nangong Ao really didn't expect his nephew and son-in-law to be so generous.
The reason why Chu Ming dared to be the master was mainly because of the strength and prestige of the Nangong family, if they were willing to support, they could block a lot of pressure from the hidden family, and I believe that the middle and high-level members of the society would not object.
"Okay! I'll help you communicate with the Apocalypse Pavilion and the three major families! β
"Then thank you uncle!"
"Family, you're welcome!" Nangong Ao patted Chu Ming's shoulder very happily, and then said: "By the way, half a month later, it will be the big competition among our Nangong family, and then you can also go and take a look, and point out the future generations!" β
Epigenetic? Isn't he also an afterlife?
Obviously, Nangong Ao had unconsciously raised Chu Ming to a level far higher than his peers.
"Huh, cousin-in-law, where are you? Daddy is too! Nangong Junsheng suddenly broke in, and after seeing his father, he quickly restrained some respectful salutes.
"You stinky boy, the big competition in the clan is almost here, why aren't you nervous at all, and you're still wandering around outside all day!" Nangong Ao glared at his son very dissatisfied.
Nangong Junsheng pursed his lips and said, "What's the use of being nervous?" With so much time left, how much more can you improve? According to me, the more you have to relax at this time, you see what my sister has been forced to be! Day by day, I know that I am about to become a silly girl when I cultivate my head! β
"You bastard! If you have half of your heart in cultivation, you don't need Lao Tzu to worry about it for you! Look at your cousin-in-law, not much older than you, he is already in the realm of incarnation! What about you! β
"Compared to my cousin-in-law? Looking at the whole of Zhongzhou, are you looking for someone who can compare to your cousin-in-law? Even the question of heaven was lost in the hands of my cousin-in-law! β
Nangong Ao was suddenly choked, this sentence is really true.
"Okay, you're in a hurry, what do you want to do?"
"I was interrupted by you like this, Daddy, and I almost forgot about business! Cousin-in-law, the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce in Cangxue City is going to hold an auction, ask my junior sister to ask us to go together, just right, let's bring our lover with us, she has never gone out of this Zhuangzi so much, it's pitiful to think about it! β
"Nonsense! It's going to be a big competition soon, what kind of snow city to go to! Nangong was furious.
"Isn't there still half a month! A trip to Cangxue City will only take four or five days to go back and forthββ"
"You-"
"Let them go!" The old lady Nangong Lie suddenly walked into the hall, waved his big hand and said: "Junsheng is also reasonable, a boring hard work will do more harm than good, and the girl in love is jumping too tightly, it's time to loosen up." β
"Yes, my father has a pointβ"
Nangong Ao put himself on a high shelf in front of his son, and when he saw his father, he immediately became a good baby.
"Chu Ming, take care of Junsheng and Qing'er for us!"
"Don't worry, sir!"
Chu Ming is still looking forward to this auction, especially the organizer is the Ziyun Chamber of Commerce, which is the property of the Ximen family and the biggest competitor of the Mercenary Guild in Zhongzhou.
Nangong Junsheng, who got permission, was so excited that he pulled Chu Ming out of the door, and at the same time sent someone to inform his sister who was still practicing penance in the clan land.
"Dad, the Ximen family behind the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce and Chu Ming, this kid are mortal enemies, Cangxue City is their territory, wouldn't it be too risky?"
"Isn't it okay to let Sanyuan stare at it secretly? Not to mention...... Chu Ming is not as weak as you think, if he is really afraid of the Ximen family, he will not come to Zhongzhou, be patient, just watch! β
Now Nangong Ao understands it, the old man is taking this trip as a test, if Chu Ming enters the territory of the Ximen family and faces the sworn enemy and can still get out of the way, there is no doubt that it is worth the Nangong family to bet more on him!
After waiting at the door with Nangong Junsheng for a long time, a shadow finally came late.
The girl is petite, wearing a pale green dress, her facial features are extremely exquisite, perhaps because she rarely sees outsiders, her little face flushed slightly after seeing Chu Ming, and she didn't know how to say hello, she looked a little shy and introverted.
"Our eldest lady is finally reluctant to close!"
"Brotherβyou're making fun of me againβ" The little girl's cheeks were dizzy, her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler out of the valley, and she was so soft and weak that she couldn't help but want to take care of it.
"By the way, this is my cousin-in-law, the husband of Cousin Wan'er!"
He is Wan'er's cousin's husband? Nangong Qing stared at Chu Ming a few times with some curiosity, and after meeting the man's gaze, the rosiness on his little face became even better, and he hurriedly lowered his head and called softly: "Cousin-in-law is so ......."
This girl is too shy!
"They are all the same age, and my sister doesn't have to be so restrained!"
"Yes, my cousin-in-law is capable, you will know later! Let's go, hurry up, Senior Sister Meng is waiting outside! β
Nangong Junsheng originally planned to take the flying demonic beast in the clan, but Chu Ming directly summoned Xiaoxue, which immediately made several people's eyes light up.
"It's worthy of being a mutated spirit product in the flying demonic beast, this speed is really unspeakable!"
Sitting on the soft back of the bird and looking at the various scenery flashing below, Nangong Junsheng sighed.
Wen Tianshuang also nodded and agreed: "Not only is it fast, but it is also very stable, which is much more comfortable than riding an ordinary flying demonic beast!" β
The two of them were amazed, but Nangong Qing tilted her little head and looked a little confused, she had never been out of the house when she was so big, and she had never ridden a flying demonic beast, so she felt more novel.
"Sister Qing'er, why haven't you been talking? Aren't you stuffy? β
Seeing that the little girl beside her had been silent, she asked Tianshuang to take the initiative to talk.
"I-I don't know what to say......" Nangong Qing lowered her head and whispered.
What a poor little girl!
Chu Ming sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, say whatever you want!" We are all your relatives and friends, don't be informal. β
It's really not a good thing to blindly practice penance, but your strength has gone up but your nature has been buried.
Feeling the kindness of several people, Nangong Qing plucked up the courage and said, "Cousin-in-law, how did you cultivate to the Transformation Realm?" Can you teach me? β
Poof-
This girl really doesn't think about cultivation all the time.
Chu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Cultivation is about chance, you just pushed yourself too hard!" You might as well listen to us in the next few days, don't think about cultivation, and when you go back, I'm sure you'll have a lot of insights and gains! β
Can you gain without cultivating? Nangong Qing was a little skeptical, but in the past few days, she heard the clansmen constantly talking about this magical cousin-in-law, which made her look forward to it again.
......
The Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Zhongzhou, and it has never had an opponent for many years, and the only potential threat is the mercenary guild that has just emerged in East Lake and has multiple exclusive pills.
The branches of the Ziyun Chamber of Commerce are all over Zhongzhou, and each branch will hold an auction every once in a while, so that the treasures hoarded in the warehouse can be sold at the opportunity, and the second is to take the opportunity to earn a lot of commissions.
The branch of the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce in Cangxue City is quite large in the entire Zhongzhou, so the news attracted many forces to participate.
The person in charge of the Cangxue City branch was named Liao Yuan, and at this time, the old man who was quite prestigious in Cangxue City bowed slightly, standing respectfully in front of a young man in brocade.
The young man took a sip of tea, put down the cup and asked without raising his head, "How is the auction prepared?" β
"Back to the eldest young master, everything is ready, many forces have arrived in advance!"
The young man is the eldest son of the head of the Ximen family, Ximen Huan, that is, the eldest brother of Ximen Zong.
Ximen Huan nodded lightly and said, "I must pay attention to the things I explain to you, if you can take the opportunity of this auction to find the elixir that the ancestor needs, you will definitely be able to greatly add points in my father's heart, and pull that bastard thing down from the position of the young family master!" β
When it comes to his own brother, Ximen Huan's expression is not full of warmth, but full of resentment and hatred. That guy has embarrassed the family one after another, just because he caught up with a hidden family and obtained an elixir that is beneficial to the ancestor's injury, he sat in the position of the young family master, and this breath must be fought back!
