Yongzhou.

Qingjiang City.

It snowed heavily for several days, and the city was covered with snow.

Several carriages drove slowly on the main road of Xicheng, the wheels crushing the pure white snow, leaving clear rut marks.

Heading west, along the main road, the carriage gradually drove into a gathering place of mansions.

"Phew."

The groom yelled and grabbed the reins of his hand, forcing the horses to stop.

"Master Wu, the Zhao Mansion has arrived."

Soon.

The curtain of the carriage door was lifted, and out came a middle-aged man in brocade clothes with a strong body, he waved his hand and instructed:

"Lift everything off the car and send it to the house as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, several uniformly dressed young men opened the carriages of the carriages behind them and carried down the gilded wooden boxes full of goods and cloth.

The middle-aged man known as the head of Wu flicked his sleeves and was about to walk towards the mansion with the word 'Zhao Fu' on it, but he ran into a convoy coming from the other side of the street.

Seeing this, Master Wu sighed lightly, then stood still and shouted loudly to the carriage that was coming:

"Master Sun, I'm here earlier than usual this time!"

"Hehe, where is it, it's still not as diligent as Master Wu." The curtain was lifted, and a Confucian priest wearing a square scarf stepped down from the carriage.

The Confucian scholar was not very old, tall and thin, perhaps less than thirty, with a black goatee under his chin, revealing elegance in his gestures.

After getting out of the car, he first glanced at the large number of goods unloaded behind the head of Wu, and then gave a salute and asked with a smile:

"I haven't seen it for a long time, it seems that Master Wu has found a lot of high-quality objects in the past six months?"

Master Sun laughed, these are just mundane things, just a little addition, and they can't enter the eyes of the Zhao family's great immortals. What Wu really wants to offer is in this small box."

As he spoke, Master Wu untied the cloth bag in his hand, revealing an antique sandalwood box.

He stroked it with his hand, and his red face was full of pride.

"Just for these little things, those people under the head of this family are so tired that they have almost turned over the entire Yongzhou market towns of all sizes, so hard can it be regarded as being able to give the Zhao family an errand."

When the young Confucian heard this, his face showed envy, he stared at the wooden box in the hand of the head of Wu, and couldn't help but smack his tongue and said:

"Master Wu is really lucky, there are some useless rice buckets under his hands, looking for them, and I haven't even found a few decent pieces of jade. When I saw Zhao Daxian later, I was afraid that I would be blamed. ”

Hearing that the other party had not received well, Master Wu was overjoyed, but on the surface, he pretended to be sympathetic and comforted:

"Brother Sun, don't be presumptuous. Didn't the Zhao family immortal entrust, jade only pays attention to quality, not quantity, although you find less, but it may not be able to satisfy the Zhao family immortal. ”

"That's right, but."

At this point, the young Confucian paused, "I'm always afraid that in case, can Master Wu borrow a few pieces of jade from the contemptible people first, and when he deals with today's affairs, he will definitely return it twice in the future."

"Borrow? What a line! ”

When Master Wu heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and quickly shook his head.

"Brother Sun, it's not that the head of this family is stingy, it's really that these jades are extremely rare. Thousands of disciples up and down the sect, for this matter, for half a year, painstaking efforts, finally got these dozen pieces of jade, how can I borrow it from your faction. If it spreads, how do you ask the head of this sect to explain to his disciples? ”

"This"

When the young Confucian scholar heard this, he had nothing to say for an instant, but he was not very willing to miss it like this.

He was deeply worried about this matter, in case he waited for him to go in, if the Zhao family immortal was not very satisfied with his work efficiency, he would have to remove himself from the position of the head of the house.

"Master Wu, let's discuss? The contemptible people are willing to exchange the thousand acres of fertile land of my Cloud Piercing Sect located west of Qingjiang City with your gate, can you? ”

"Brother Sun, you're going to make a bloody investment!" Master Wu was startled, as if he couldn't believe it.

As the new head of the Thousand Swords Sect, since he took over the sect, he has already had a clear understanding of the various industries inside and outside the sect, and naturally knows what a huge wealth thousands of acres of fertile land is for the sect.

Is this Sun in charge really out of the way? The industry of the cloud-piercing school will be sent?

Wu Zhangmen said in his heart.

"I hope that Brother Wu will understand more, this door is counting on more jade to fill the façade, if the Zhao family is unhappy, none of us can be better"

The young Confucian scholar was heartbroken, and he personally gave the inheritance accumulated by his family for several generations to others, which was difficult for anyone to accept.

"That's fine. You and I have supported each other in Yongzhou for several years, and this head can't see death without help, right? Without you, if the Zhao family immortal comes up with an ignorant sect again, it will inevitably have to compete with this sect again. ”

Master Wu sighed heavily, opened the wooden box casually, took out a few pieces of cyan jade from it, and handed them to the young Confucian scholar.

"Thank you Master Wu for the rescue, and then someone will send those title deeds to your mansion."

The young Confucian counted them, and after carefully receiving the jade stones in his arms, the stones hanging in his heart fell safely.

"Okay, let's not delay the time, let's go in early, don't let the Zhao family immortal wait for a long time."

"That's very good."

Then, the two of them led a group of burden-bearing disciples to knock on the door, and then, under the guidance of the guards at the door, they walked through several corridors and entered a richly decorated guest hall.

After entering, the two shopkeepers saw that there was no one in the hall, so they first arranged for the disciples to drop the large boxes full of goods, and then stood there quietly on both sides.

No one could have imagined that the two sects that dominated the entire Yongzhou martial arts, the two new heads of the Thousand Sword Sect and the Cloud Piercing Sect, could stir up the wind and rain with a wave of their hands in the rivers and lakes, and the powerful people with high status could actually stand like minions in a mansion in Qingjiang City, and they did not dare to say a word, which was incredible.

The door of the guest hall was open, and the cold wind howled in, and although the two heads of the house stood in the room and were frozen, they never dared to leave for half a minute.

After a long time.

With a series of gentle footsteps, more than a dozen well-dressed men and women swarmed in from outside the guest hall.

Led by two middle-aged people, both with solemn expressions and a sense of majesty.

After that, a dozen or so young family members, more men and fewer women, but all dressed luxuriously and with arrogant faces.

They didn't look at the two heads of Wu and Sun who were standing in the room, they swept straight by, and after entering the hall, they sat down on many seats.

"Master Wu, Master Sun, why are you standing, sit down."

The one who spoke was the eldest of all, named Zhao Degao, who was the head of the Zhao family's mansion.

He glanced casually at the two of them, and his words were full of salty and unpleasant meanings.

The head of the Thousand Swords Sect didn't dare to look at this person directly, lowered his head, and said in fear:

"Zhao Daxian, it's good for the two of us to stand"

"Oh, since you like to stand, then stand." Zhao Degao fell behind the main seat, smiled lightly, waved his big hand, and no longer paid attention to the two.

At the same time, another middle-aged man who was sitting next to him, who looked very similar, looked at Wu and Sun coldly, and said loudly:

"Big brother, I think it's better to let them present those spirit stones first, so as not to stay here and be an eyesore."

"It's okay, it's not too late to wait and see the matter of the spirit stone."

Zhao Degao waved his hand, signaling the brothers around him to be calm for a while, and then asked, "Wangzhong, you and Xu'er have just returned from Zuocang Mountain, so let's tell Brother Wei first, what the Cloud Mist Sect monk is going to do." ”

"Back to Big Brother! In recent months, since the reopening of the mining cave, Zuocangshanfang City has been run by those Cloud Mist Sects, and there has been an endless stream of scattered cultivation. ”

Zhao Wangzi nodded and told sentence by sentence.

"In my opinion, it should have already surpassed the previous Dongshanfang City, it may not be long before the Six Elements Mountain Range, most of the monks on the Huaiguo side will be attracted to it, and then the name of the first Xiuzhenfang City in Huaiguo will probably fall on the head of Zuocangshanfang City!"

"How fast is it going?"

Zhao Degao was surprised when he heard this, and then sighed, "In this way, our Zhao family should also have laid out Zuocang Mountain as early as possible." In the past, when I was in Dongshan, my Zhao family had not yet grown, and it was difficult to take the lead. The new opening of Zuocangshanfang City this time is an opportunity for us to return to the world of cultivating immortals, if we grasp it well, the prosperity of our Zhao family in the future is just around the corner! ”

"Big brother, Xu Er and I went to Zuocang Mountain this time, and we met a few good pieces of land in the market, and there are spirit stones obtained from the sale of the tiger demon before, it should not be difficult to plate them. It's just that in this way, in the short term, there may be a shortage of cultivation elixirs for the children of the family."

Zhao Wangzhong said worriedly.

Zhao Degao saw his worried expression, and smiled openly, "Bear with it, when our Zhao family has its own business in the market, we will be able to earn it back soon, and we don't have to worry about the momentary gains and losses in front of us, what we need to consider is the future of the family!" ”

"That's all there is to it."

"By the way, speaking of the Tiger Demon, haven't you found those little scattered cultivators at that time?"

"Dongshanfang City has long been empty, I have sent people to observe for many days, but I have not seen any monks, I am afraid that those people have fled to other places."

"Alas, it's a pity, I heard Xu'er say earlier that there was a demon tiger cub that was seized by those few people, if you can find these people and snatch the demon tiger cub back and cultivate it, it will be a great help to my Zhao family in the future!"

Zhao Degao's voice was so high that he sighed again and again.

At this time, a young man with a full face stood up, walked to the center of the hall, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Uncle, at that time, there were two of the most hateful casual cultivators, one was named Xu Ming, and the other was a white-haired female cultivator. These two people are embarrassed and are the masterminds, if it weren't for the leaders of the two of them, the other few small cultivators would definitely not dare to go against my Zhao family. ”
