Chapter 227: Four Messengers
Just when Su Qin and Tang Qingyue rushed to Tian'e Pass one after another, four envoys from the Southwest Branch of the Dongjiang Chamber of Commerce Alliance were sitting on the top floor of the tallest building in Tian'e Pass, sitting around and talking to each other.
These four people, each of whom is a powerhouse in the Yuan Fetal Realm, suddenly came to the pass a few days ago, and was so frightened that General Luo, who was guarding the city, thought that something was about to happen to the Cangyan Country, and while he was frightened and mobilized his troops to try to stop it, he was about to deliver a message to the imperial capital and inform him to be on guard along the way.
However, when one of the envoys took out a token that was enough to prove his identity, and explained his intention, saying that he was only staying temporarily, General Luo also hesitated to stop moving, but he was still a little trembling in his heart, and still left a few back hands, lest the other party just temporarily paralyze himself and suddenly attack.
It's no wonder that General Luo would have such a reaction, after all, even if it is any of the three major clans of the Cangyan Country, there has never been a situation where there are four Yuan Fetal Realm powerhouses at the same time for many years, and the same is true of the Chen family of the royal family.
With such a force, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can destroy a city in an instant.
Fortunately, for several days in a row, the four messengers remained very quiet, except for the request to come to the highest building, the rest did not do anything, did not even leave a step, as if waiting for something.
During this period, General Luo had the audacity to ask once who they were waiting for and when, but the answer he got was a simple sentence "It's none of your business, don't ask more".
So he didn't dare to ask any more, for fear of annoying the four of them and bringing unbearable trouble to himself and this border pass.
As for the name of the Dongjiang Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he had heard of it somewhat, but after all, he didn't know anything, and he didn't know how huge this organization was and how rich the financial resources it contained, so he didn't realize what kind of good opportunity he had missed, if he could serve these four envoys well, he could resign from his position as a border guard in the future and go to the alliance to achieve greater development, and then just the resources possessed by the Southwest Branch Alliance would be enough to make him cultivate to a higher level in a few years.
"Brother Wan, count the days, those two young people who are going to come to participate in the assessment should also arrive. I don't remember much when I set off, what were they called?"
Among the four messengers, a man with significantly longer arms than normal suddenly asked one to his left.
"It seems to be called Su Xin and Tang Qingye, I actually don't remember it very clearly, after all, this task of the main faction of the Fish Alliance is too outrageous, the Chamber of Commerce in a remote and small country, even if it has also joined our Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but in order to select their president and heir, they actually have to send the four of us to come at the same time, does the Lord of the Fish Alliance think that we usually have nothing to do?"
That Brother Wan didn't remember the names of Su Qin and Tang Qingyue correctly at all, obviously lacking interest in this matter, and had a perfunctory mentality.
The leader of the fish alliance he said in his mouth was not the general leader of the Eastern Xinjiang Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but only the leader of the Southwest Branch Alliance, and he only managed the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in the southwest region, but as long as it was all the chambers of commerce under his jurisdiction, they were all under his control.
"Alas, yes, to choose a president heir for this Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, it is enough to have Brother Dai from the last time, I have to question the results of the competition, get a nondescript assessment, and I don't know who blew the wind for the leader of the Fish Alliance. ”
One of the four messengers is a woman, although she is not young, but the are half-old, and the charm still exists, listening to the two companions complaining, she also raised a hand, and the orchid fingers were slightly cocked, pointing and saying, it seems that she is also very unimpressed with this matter.
"You are mistaken, those two are called Su Qin and Tang Qingyue. ”
At this time, the remaining one finally spoke, but did not evaluate the assessment, but corrected the memory errors of their companions.
"Hey, Brother Ji, it doesn't matter what Su Qin or Su Xin he is, Tang Qingyue is still Tang Qingye, anyway, they are two hairy boys who have not dried up, although their cultivation is not bad, one is in the Earth Evil Realm, and the other is in the Tiangang Realm, but I think it was hard piled up by the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce with wealth, and it is the limit to cultivate to this point, and when they want to unite with each other, The day he broke the pill and became a fetus, he knew that no matter how many resources he had, he would not be able to use it, and condensing the yuan fetus was a real hurdle on the path of cultivation, and without talent and twelve points of hard work, he would not be able to cross it at all. ”
The messenger surnamed Wan was corrected in person, and his face was somewhat unbearable, so he pretended to disdain the topic of Su Qin and Tang Qingyue's cultivation, and made a self-righteous comment.
However, he was not the only one with such thoughts, the man who asked him questions before, and the female envoy on the other side, also believed that Su Qin and Tang Qingyue's cultivation was not all obtained by their own cultivation, and it was even very likely that most of them were accumulated with resources, and the actual combat might not be good, otherwise there would not be a matter of being defeated by the late stage of the Tiangang Realm by the late stage of the Earth Hell Realm.
As for how much real ability the winning Earth Demon Realm has in the later stage, they don't bother to speculate, anyway, in the understanding of these people, cultivation is the last word, and the means of fighting are only auxiliary, two opponents of the same realm, maybe they can distinguish the superior from the inferior with means, but the battle of martial artists in different realms should not have suspense.
Therefore, the man and the woman immediately echoed the argument of the messenger of the surname, and as soon as they approached, they continued to discuss how ridiculous and boring this incident was, and how meaningless it was.
Listening to the conversation of the three companions, the remaining one had no intention of participating at all, and his expression remained unchanged, but he secretly said in his heart:
"Hmph, you three guys really rely on the accumulation of resources, except for the step of breaking through the Yuan Fetus, you don't have any real skills, so you can make such a brainless judgment. Having special means to fight beyond the ranks, although this situation is not common, but it is not impossible, especially for people who know the secrets of the thirty-six peerless secrets of the Quenching Fist, it is simply too normal to defeat an opponent who is one level higher than himself. It's just that if the three of you weren't so sloppy, I wouldn't be able to pull you along, otherwise it would be easy to expose my true intentions. ”
It turned out that this messenger surnamed Ji was Tang Qingyue's father, and this time in order to observe Su Qin's martial arts, he personally came to the border of Cangyan Country.
And Tang Qingyue is actually not surnamed Tang, his real name should be Ji Qingyue.
Although the status of the Ji envoy in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is not low, he does not have this foundation that belongs to him, and he is restricted from doing many things on weekdays, otherwise it is impossible to quietly send his son to the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce to try to seize the foundation of the Xia family's father and daughter.
However, compared to obtaining the secret of quenching the body, the chamber of commerce in a small country is nothing, of course, he can take the opportunity back by the way, and he will not be stingy to use his power.
"Xia Chun, when we were young, I found that treasure with you, I took all the cheats in it, and you took all the other wealth, as a result, I entered the Chamber of Commerce Alliance with my martial arts strength and became the envoy of the alliance, but you used your wealth to make your own Chamber of Commerce bigger, and later you also chased after Xiuwei, and it seems that they all surpassed me. Looking back now, I actually lost it. But it doesn't matter, I'll eventually take back everything that is rightfully mine!"
The thoughts of this Ji envoy turned again and again, and he began to recall the past, and what was even more unexpected was that he and Xia Chun were old acquaintances, and they also had some common and special experiences, which even his son Ji Qingyue did not know.
"Brother Ji, why don't you speak? I know that you are very diligent in cultivation on weekdays, and your strength is higher than that of several of us, but don't be so boring, let's talk about nothing together, why sit next to you and be silent. ”
After talking for a while, the messenger gradually forgot about the unhappiness when he was corrected by the envoy Ji, and began to persuade the latter to join the conversation between the three of them.
Their current topic has long since turned elsewhere, and they have begun to talk about some things in the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no lack of criticism of others' qualities in their words, and they are still chatting freely with each other, and it seems that they usually do this kind of thing.
"Forget it, I still won't wait here with you, anyway, it's just to bring in two juniors, one or two people here are enough, I might as well go back first and see how they are arranged, since this assessment has been decided, we should always complete it, select a qualified one from the two people as soon as possible, and go back early to give an explanation to the master of the fish alliance." ”
The envoy was really impatient to listen to the three of them, and he was about to get up and leave Tian'e Pass.
But at this moment, a jade jue hanging from his waist suddenly shook slightly, which immediately made him stop.
"It's coming!"
He knew that this was a signal from his son Ji Qingyue, informing him that he had arrived at Guannai.
Immediately afterwards, the other three also saw a cloud of red smoke rising from outside the gate, which was the contact information that had been set, indicating that an examiner had arrived.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The four of them urged Zhenyuan at the same time, turned into a streamer, and flew out of the tallest building in the blink of an eye, heading to the front of the pass.
"Hey, you guys are ......."
General Luo, who was patrolling on the other side of the city, was already strange because of the red smoke that suddenly rose, and just wanted to check it out in person, he saw these four strong men running out, and suddenly the tension that had been suppressed in his heart was lifted again, and after his body stiffened for a moment, he also immediately took action and rushed to the inner city gate as fast as possible.
"The four envoys, the boy Tang Qingyue, this time I was summoned by the branch alliance to come to the assessment, and regained the qualification of the heir to the president of the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, and finally came here today, I don't know when the assessment will be conducted?"
In front of Tian'e Pass, Ji Qingyue saw his father and the other three messengers, but he deliberately pretended not to know his father, and after seeing the four of them one by one, he immediately asked about the most "concerned" things.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the young man to be very anxious, I want to teach you, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you might as well wait to see if the person named Su Qin comes, and then talk about the assessment." If your temperament is always so hot, then it's no wonder that you will lose to others in the competition. ”
The Ten Thousand Envoys had previously been dismissive of the assessment form, but at this time they pretended to preach.
However, after Tang Qingyue glanced at his father, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Lord Messenger, I don't think we need to wait too long, because that Su Qin will arrive soon." ”
As soon as the words fell, as if in response to his words, about twenty miles away, a red smoke that was the same as Fang Cai suddenly rose and pierced straight into the sky, announcing Su Qin's arrival!
