Shui Zhimei's eyes were shining with excitement, but she didn't want to show that she was honored, she raised her eyebrows, and feigned anger: "The ancestors of the Shui clan didn't treat you as an outsider, and you can't claim to be an outsider, hmph, be kind to the Shui clan in the future!"

Huo Xu walked straight to the path by the pond and muttered: "How dare you, if you don't treat the Shui clan well, you have a way to abuse me!" ”

The hazy love entrenched in his mind, the vast hatred, and the long-cherished wishes of the past life and the ambitions of this life that had faded were all surging out of his mind because of the traction of the mysterious black eyes in the Fang Cai Pavilion.

Where am I going? All at once he fell into the myth of having no answer.

As if hearing the most absurd words in the world, Shui Zhimei's eyes were deeply frozen under the streamer, she pursed her red lips, did not make a sound, but muttered in her heart:

"Fool, ten years later, try to see who in the world can abuse you!"

Feng Qiu hurriedly chased after Huo Xu, and said excitedly: "Xiao Xu, the Evil Cold Valley is an extremely cold place, and it is convenient for you to practice ice exercises there!" ”

"Stop." Shui Zhimei, who was left behind, hurriedly splashed cold water: "Take it easy, don't forget, there will be a fight waiting for him in ten days, and he can't push it off, hey, he'll really make trouble for himself!"

If you show your magic skills during the battle, God knows what kind of crazy moves the powerhouses of the five sects will make! ”

Shui Zhimei's mother-in-law-like chatter behind him exploded endlessly, Huo Xu didn't feel bored, on the contrary, he suddenly felt empowered.

Traveling the galaxy and looking down on all beings, these are all visions, and the current Huo Xu is just a small teenager, without the capital of trial and error, after the enthusiasm subsides, he has to return to the countryside and return to the semi-secluded life to avoid those unknown risks that may come unexpectedly.

"Ten days later? Alas, Counselor Rose missed the appointment! He muttered silently as if he had woken up from a dream.

······

As Huo Xu and Shui Zhizhi expected, the news of the fierce battle between the powerhouses of the Five Sects and the two elders of the Xuanji Pavilion reached the palace, causing great concern to the empress.

A seven-star lord of the Zongren Mansion was stationed in the East Post House adjacent to the Shui Manor, and the new Gong Zheng Qi Liang and more than ten of his subordinates came with him.

Except for Qi Liang, who went and stayed in impermanence, everyone else patrolled around the Shui manor day and night, neither disturbing the owner of the manor, nor deliberately avoiding the two Shui sisters, and occasionally nodding their heads when they met them, but did not speak.

It is not difficult for Shui Zhizhi to see their intentions, and understand that there is the secret protection of the Zongren Mansion and the Gongzheng Bureau, and they dare not covet the secret treasure of Tianshui Pavilion again with a hundred strong men of the five sects.

She was completely relieved and focused on achieving her ambition of becoming rich.

On top of the ruins of the cracked hill, thousands of strong men and women gathered in a sea of hulala, relying on a stone foundation, laying low-cost leaching sand boards, erecting dense fireproof pipe columns and countless boron boards.

Just an hour later, a large workshop was erected.

On the same day, Shui Zhizhi rushed to the top of the wood art talent market in Lofe City, and signed the most prestigious master craftsman in the capital with an attractive salary.

The next day, 19 female carpenters who guarded the poverty and did not forget the elegance of the family, and nearly 30 outstanding male carpenters who were accustomed to living a hungry and full life, took the two flying boats of the Shui Clan and collectively entered the Shui Manor.

Each of them was given a house in the manor, and they could bring their families.

On the third day, Shui Zhizhi took some samples and went to the ordinary sect and the palace office in Luofei City to negotiate business.

The patriarch of the Shui clan is not like the iron tiger ridiculed, there is a tendency to "isolate himself from the sect in the world", on the contrary, she has a gentle temperament and is very popular, and after a busy day, half of the sects and the Royal Martial Arts Mansion and the Zongren Mansion have placed orders and paid deposits, and the scale of the orders is quite considerable.

Yuanjing building materials are expensive and too cold, and are not suitable for the manufacture of all office and household appliances, so there is still a broad demand market for exquisite wood products.

With the passage of time, people gradually found that the water monopolized the high-quality timber resources with one hand, and the most talented human resources with the other, and its wood products were compared with the big road goods on the market.

Whether or not you can buy Shui's wood products is not only a matter of pure aesthetics, but also a matter of decency.

As a result, Shui's wood products business spread out at an astonishing speed, and reached a boom at an astonishing speed.

The water family's wealth is rolling in, and trouble is unexpected.

On this day, Huo Xu got up early, went out of the villa building, and suddenly saw two light clusters, one purple and one white, slowly swept by, and behind the light group, more than a dozen ups and downs of figures were reflected in the air.

Muhua? Huo Xu fixed himself in the square, and recognized that the two people flying in the air were Mu Hua, the deputy leader of the Five Clans Alliance, and his wife Lou Yuan, and behind them were more than ten high-ranking Yuan scholars of the Mu Clan.

"Shui Zhizhi, you blatantly violated the secret agreement of the Five Clans, sold the pills without authorization, and eroded the interests of the Mu Clan, you must give Mu a certain explanation today, otherwise, the Mu Clan will never give up!"

Before he landed, Mu Hua couldn't wait to let out heavy words.

The two Shui sisters flew down the villa building and landed beside Huo Xu.

"I sell my Sanling Pill, and he can also sell his Wuhuang Pill, why make a big fuss and come to the door to ask the teacher for sin? Hmph, he's reasonable! Shui Zhimei muttered in a low voice with an angry face.

"Hello Deputy Alliance Master Mu and Mrs. Mu." Shui Zhizhi greeted the two who landed from a distance, and then looked at Huo Xu a little helplessly.

Huo Xu tugged at the mask and whispered calmly:

On the surface, he was trying to clarify the market boundaries between wood and water, but in fact, he wanted to play some tricks to force the water family to comply and share the profits with the Mu family.

However, in terms of strength, the Shui clan is not what it used to be, although it is difficult to look at the back of the five major sects, it is not inferior to the Mu and Tie clans, and the Shui clan should no longer be coerced by anyone in the alliance! ”

Shui Zhizhi said: "Mu Hua's scheming is deeper than Tielong, I have never been good at dealing with such people, the last time I had a conflict with Tielong, if it wasn't for your reminder and mediation, I don't know how to end up without losing dignity and not suffering losses."

Today, I have to compete with Mu Hua, and when the time comes, I might as well take charge, and you will negotiate with Mu Hua on behalf of the Shui family, and I will say that you are one of my nephews. ”

Huo Xu nodded, leaned closer to Shui Zhimei and whispered: "Tell the safe person to bring the box of Black Source Crystals and Scarlet Source Crystals presented by the Tie Clan to wait outside, and in addition, let Mr. Feng Qiu also wait outside the door, and when I summon him, he will go in and make a bright appearance."

Tell Mr. Fengqiu, be serious, take out some majesty after entering the venue, and don't care about giggling and laughing. ”

Shui Zhizhi raised his hand and invited: "Deputy Alliance Master Mu, everything is easy to discuss, please inside." ”

······

The second floor of the villa building.

In the richly decorated living room, Mu Huaju sat as a guest, and eleven black-robed people stood behind him, all of whom were high-ranking scholars.

Mu Hua was dressed in a brand-new purple robe, and the two four-pointed stars on his chest were bright and dazzling. Next to him, sat a plump middle-aged beautiful woman, Lou Yuan, who was dressed in the white robe of the Yuan Master, and the chest of the robe was decorated with five three-pointed stars.

A two-star Yuan Lie, a five-star Yuan Master, and eleven high-level Yuan Shi of the Mu clan all went to the Shui Manor, and the elite was exhausted, which was quite demonstrative.

On the Shui family's side, on the main seat, only Shui Zhizhi was present with the two sisters of the Shui family.

Beside Shui Zhizhi, there was a man wearing a black robe without a logo, covering his face, and sprinkling his breath.

Mu Hua, like the two brothers Iron Tiger and Iron Lion, drove the power of the Yuan Shen to penetrate the surface of Huoxu's body, and stopped at a moment's notice.

Bone age under 16 years old?

Mu Hua smiled, then leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, and said: "Shui Patriarch, I know that your two sisters have been promoted to a one-star Yuanlie, and the two have joined forces, I'm afraid that Mu Mou can't help you."

But even if you become a two-star lord, what can you do? According to the agreement reached by the Five Clans that year, the business of medicinal materials in the capital should be exclusively operated by the Mu Clan, and the Shui Clan sold the medicinal pills without authorization, breaking the rules and setting a very bad precedent! ”

The tone of his voice rose higher and higher, and Mu Hua seemed to regard himself as a judge.

Seeing that Huo Xu didn't react, Shui Zhizhi subconsciously asked, "The deputy leader of the Wood Alliance is here, just for the matter of the medicine pill?" ”

"Regarding the matter of the medicine pill, of course the Shui clan wants to give the Mu clan an explanation. But ······" Shui Zhizhi did not argue with reason, but treated each other politely and spoke with a friendly atmosphere, which caught Mu Hua off guard, he carefully considered the wording again and again, and said, "There are some things······ Before doing it, it is best to discuss with Mu first, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not grow. ”

"Why bother the deputy alliance leader to deign to come to the Water Clan Manor and discuss with me in person?" Shui Zhizhi asked again.

"This ······" Mu Hua seemed a little difficult to speak.

Lou Ying hurriedly smiled: "Everyone is an alliance, and one party has found a new way to make money, how can one party ignore the friendship of the alliance and swallow it alone?" Don't forget, the surname of Mu is Mu, and it is naturally related to the wood products business! ”

Shui Zhizhi was stunned.

Huo Xu almost laughed: This reason is too, the surname Mu should be engaged in the wood products business? Hey, you're here to be funny!

Seeing that Shui Zhizhi was dumbfounded, Mu Hua finally hardened his head and said: "As far as Mu knows, the Shui clan and the Tie clan in the alliance have already had a festival, and outside the alliance they have had bad relations with some sects, so they are in such a difficult situation both internally and externally, life is not easy, right?"

Everyone is an alliance, and the Mu clan can still help the Shui clan, presumably the water patriarch has heard that Mu has been quite close to Master Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion recently, and Lord Zongzheng will take care of him, and Mu will still have some weight in talking to the five clan alliances and even the various sects in the capital in the future. And ······"

Mu Hua pointed to the group of Yuan Shi and said: "Don't look at the Mu clan now only two strong people, these eleven Yuan Shi, three of them will be promoted to Yuan Shi within the year, and the pattern will be different next year, so the Mu clan has a lot of stamina."

The water patriarch should understand that among the five clans, whoever has connections in the court, and who has the strength and stamina will have the heaviest right to speak. ”

Mu Hua's tone was gentle, but his words were routines.

Shui Zhizhi remembered the "authorization" procedure agreed earlier, so he pointed at Huo Xu and said with a smile: "It's rare that the deputy alliance leader can speak so thoroughly, but the business matters are not in my hands."

Oh, this is my nephew, in charge of the wood products business, the deputy leader might as well ask him directly to see what he means. ”

Mu Hua raised his eyebrows: Talking about big things with a hairy boy?

After a while, Mu Hua smiled and said, "The water patriarch is not joking, right? ”

Huo Xu suddenly realized that Mu Hua was greedy in his bones, but he was not easy to wipe off his face, and he was stronger than Tielong.

He squeezed his throat hard, and held back a rough voice: "Su Wenmu is very self-contained, when I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation, turning three corners and turning four corners, and it can be said that the dirty work of stealing people's money is reasonable and reasonable to collect protection fees, which is really eye-opening!" ”

Mu Hua was not angry, but raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly, and watched with great interest how the kid in the seat pretended to be forced like a sprinkling of breath and a mask.

Lou Yu's eyes suddenly cold, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! Although you are the nephew of the water clan chief, you are an outsider after all, what qualifications do you have to run to the Five Clans Alliance to spread wild, and speak disrespectfully to the deputy alliance leader! ”

Ignoring Lou Yu, Huo Xu stared at Mu Hua, who didn't put himself in his eyes at all, and said slowly: "According to the agreement of the five clans in the past, the medicinal material business in the capital is exclusively operated by the Mu clan, but, as the name suggests, medicinal materials refer to materials that can be used as medicine but have not been made into medicine, and the three spirit pills are medicines, not medicinal materials.

Therefore, Shui's engagement in the medicine pill business is not considered a breach of the agreement. ”

Mu Hua's eyes lit up: This kid pretended to be a little too much, but he spoke in a clear manner.

Lou Yu stabbed Huo Xu fiercely, waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Although the wording of the agreement is not rigorous, the Shui clan can't use this as an excuse to exploit loopholes!" ”

"Exploiting loopholes?" Huo Xu said with a smile: "Three years ago, the Mu clan publicly sold a batch of family heirloom ancient jade, and the silver coins obtained were hundreds of millions, according to your logic, the agreement of the five clans only allowed the Shui clan to operate the jade business exclusively, how could the Mu clan violate the agreement and openly sell jade?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Hua couldn't help but be shocked: What a sharp stubble!
