Chapter 57: The Ten Nations Business Alliance
A horse is nothing, but He Zhengyuan's approach is blatantly provoking Ye Xing, and Ye Xing can't sit idly by.
"Big, uncle, the small one has no beads, please treat the small one as a fart! The small ones are old and the young......"
Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Ye Xing's body, the shopkeeper softened and knelt down directly to beg for mercy.
After he saw Ye Xing's strength yesterday, when he faced the latter today, he was terrified all the time, and his legs were weak. Now that Ye Xing's horse has been killed under his care, the new and old grudges are added together, and he feels that he will not escape death today.
"Killing people like you is just dirty my hands."
Ye Xing glanced at him in disgust, this kind of villain was the most annoying, and he didn't bother to kill it. He threw a piece of silver in the arms of the shopkeeper, and immediately rode directly onto another horse in the stable, leaving a word and leaving.
"Bury my horse properly, and the rest of the money will be used to buy this horse."
The shopkeeper looked stunned, and watched Ye Xing's figure disappear into his sight in a daze.
After leaving the inn, Ye Xing galloped all the way in the predetermined direction, and in less than half a day, he came to Guanhai City.
It was noon, and the sun was blazing.
Under the dazzling sunlight, a huge and magnificent main city, Guanhai City, shone out.
This was the first time Ye Xing had come to Guanhai City, and he looked at everything he saw in front of him in disbelief, until he saw the three big characters of "Guanhai City" on the huge plaque, and he was sure that he had not come to the wrong place.
This is a city, it's about the size of a mountain range! He had heard that Guanhai City covers a huge area, and there is at least a distance of thousands of miles from the east of the city to the west of the city, and the population of it is as high as millions.
Compared to Qingyuan Town, which has a total population of less than 30,000, this is simply equivalent to a small empire!
"Wow!"
At this time, the small sapling in Ye Xing's dantian shook slightly, and for some reason, a heavy sense of depression arose in the former's heart for no reason.
In his opinion, there seemed to be an ominous and terrifying aura enveloping the whole city in this sea-viewing city, and it was about to move.
There were a lot of people in and out of the city, Ye Xing didn't dare to slack off, and with the dense flow of people, he paid the entrance fee and entered the city. In fact, as soon as he entered the city on his front foot, several strange people in white followed him and entered Guanhai City.
If you look closely, under the many white cloaks, there is a crimson flame mark on the foreheads of those people!
Red Flame Holy Sect!
……
On the busy streets, there are a large number of martial artists, among which the breath of the Yuan Qi Realm is even countless, and even the half-step martial artist Ye Xing has seen several! If this is in the sparsely populated Qingyuan Town, it is a phenomenon that can never be seen!
Here, it can be described in one sentence.
Warriors walk all over the streets, and there are as many yuan as dogs!
"This is Guanhai City! I really don't leave home, I don't know how vast the outside world is! ”
Ye Xing sighed with emotion, he was still in awe when he met Li Junfeng and Jin Ruyu and other young Yuan Trick Realm martial artists in the Langya Mountain Range before, but when he arrived in Guanhai City, he found that in fact, breaking through the Yuan Trick Realm before the age of twenty was not a big deal.
At least in the bustling streets, he saw no less than five young Yuan Aperture Realm martial artists.
"The House of Everything!"
Ye Xing inquired all the way and came to a large attic with gorgeous decoration and carved railings, and three very eye-catching big characters were written on the gilded plaque hanging high.
He is new to the city, and he is not familiar with everything in Guanhai City, according to the guidance of his grandfather Ye Guhong, everything is all-encompassing in the house, as long as you can afford it, they will provide you with all the information you can find. It can be as small as the backyard of a big man in Guanhai City, and as big as the important news of the main cities of the entire Huangling Empire.
Inside the house of everything, it can be said that there is everything.
"This son, may I ask your surname, do you need anything?"
As soon as he walked into the Master's Pavilion, an elegant woman who was polite and dressed in an antique floral dress greeted him and smiled. Although Ye Xing's dress is not luxurious, his martial artist temperament is fully revealed.
Everyone here is like a human spirit, and they all know that as long as they are martial artists, they will definitely not be short of money. And the remuneration they can get is calculated according to their performance, and how much wealth they can get depends on their ability to grab customers!
"In the lower leaf punishment, as for coming to your Wanshi House, what else can you do besides asking about things?"
Ye Xing chuckled.
"Slave family, what question does Ye Gongzi want to ask? The slave family will go to Zhang Luo for you. ”
The elegant woman's soft voice made Ye Xing feel very comfortable, and even had the illusion of being at home. I have to say that the service attitude of this Wanshiwu is really good, no wonder it is so famous.
"The first question, I'm looking for a senior named Liu Rui, his age is about sixty, and his martial arts cultivation should not be low, I want to know where he lives."
Ye Xingdao.
"Liu Rui?"
Su Xin, it was this elegant woman who was slightly surprised, as if she thought of something, but did not show it. Those who do their job must not only have eyes, but also know how to control their emotions. Her skillful Qi cultivation kung fu also managed not to attract Ye Xing's attention.
"The second question is, who is the most knowledgeable and famous pharmacist in Guanhai City? The third question is what is the distribution of forces in Guanhai City, I want to know the specific situation. The fourth question, I also want to find a family surnamed Xu, the owner of this family is Xu Zeling. ”
After Ye Xing finished saying the four questions in one breath, he took a slight sip of the fragrant tea handed by Su Xin. As for the little monkey, after learning the lesson in the inn before, he no longer put the little monkey on his shoulder, but made a small cloth bag for the little monkey to stay in.
Regardless of whether the little monkey is the spirit monkey He Zhengyuan said in his mouth, one thing is certain, the origin of the little monkey is not simple, and it is likely to be coveted by outsiders. In order to avoid this unnecessary trouble, Ye Xing had no choice but to ignore the little monkey's protest and forcibly press it into a cloth bag.
"Ye Gongzi, the question you want to ask shouldn't be a difficult problem for our Wanshiwu. Please wait a moment and I will be able to answer them all for you. ”
Su Xin smiled lightly, and after getting Ye Xing's nod, she left with elegant steps.
In less than half an hour, under Ye Xing's surprised gaze, Su Xin came back. Her face was relaxed, and she seemed to have solved all the problems for Ye Xing.
"Ye Gongzi has been waiting for a long time, in fact, I can answer most of your questions for you myself, but I still need to go through the procedure here in Wanshiwu. Let's confirm first, your four questions are worth a total of three hundred and seventy taels of silver, let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”
Su Xin blinked her big beautiful eyes slyly and said.
"No problem."
Ye Xing took out two silver tickets very decisively, after killing many Yuan Aperture Realm powerhouses, the wealth he had accumulated had already reached an astonishing point. More than a hundred taels can really only be said to be a drop in the bucket for him.
"Ye Gongzi is really arrogant."
Su Xin praised, with a happy smile on her face, she continued: "Ye Gongzi's first question, there happens to be a deputy general named Liu Rui among the generals who defend Guanhai City, according to your description, he fits everything, presumably the person Gongzi is looking for is this Liu Rui." ”
"The second question, there should be three famous pharmacists that Ye Gongzi wants to know, the first is Mr. Murong Shi, who has excellent medical ethics and is known as the 'Living Bodhisattva', and the second is Mr. Li Wen, who is known as the 'Ghost Hand Divine Doctor' and is also the disciple of Mr. Murong Shi, as for the third one, she is not only a pharmacist, but also a terrifying poisoner. This person is ruthless and withdrawn, if Ye Gongzi asks for something, the slave family suggests that you should not look for her. ”
Su Xin looked cautious and whispered, as if he was afraid of something.
"Could it be...... Mother-in-law of the silver hairpin? ”
Ye Xing thought for a moment, and the lightning flashed in his mind, and he was a little unsure.
"Ye Gongzi, have you also heard of Granny Yinchai?"
Su Xin was a little surprised.
"Let's not."
Ye Xing said lightly and didn't explain much. I didn't expect that the poisonous woman Yinchai's mother-in-law actually had some fame in this Guanhai City, but it was all some feared notoriety.
"The third question, in our Guanhai City, the number one in power and strength is naturally the city lord Li Wu, there are countless powerful warriors under his command, and Lord Liu Rui you are looking for is also one of them. Secondly, it is Yang Jie, the main general of the city, Yang Jie, as the first general of the city, and at the same time serves as the deputy city lord. ”
"Further down, there is the family power led by the Jin and Li families. The Li family has settled in Guanhai City for hundreds of years, and it has a profound heritage, and it is a snake-like existence. As for the Jin family, they only moved to Guanhai City a few years ago, but the head of the Jin family, Jin Wansan, has our Wanbang Business Alliance as the backstage behind him, and the Li family doesn't dare to do anything to him. In fact, our Wanshiwu is also a branch of the Wanbang Business Alliance, and when we meet Jin Wansan, we all have to call him the master of the Jin Alliance. ”
Su Xin talked eloquently, describing the distribution of forces in this Guanhai City one by one in simple and clear sentences, Ye Xing listened quietly, and he could be regarded as having some understanding of this Guanhai City. What surprised the latter was that the Jin family, where Jin Ruyu was located, actually had the background of the Wanbang Business Alliance.
As everyone knows, the Nanqi Continent divides the world equally with three major forces, namely the Blood Demon Gate, the Huangling Empire, and the Wanbang Business Alliance. Among them, the Blood Demon Gate and the Huangling Empire occupied the western and eastern halves of the continent respectively, while the Huangling Empire's power was relatively strong, and the territory area of the eastern half was about half of the entire continent. And the Blood Demon Gate, known as the Demon Sect, has always been suppressed by the Huangling Empire for hundreds of years.
As for the Wanbang Business Alliance, this is a somewhat special force organization. As the name suggests, this is a business organization, and its alliances are all over the entire Nanqi Continent, whether it is the Blood Demon Sect or the Huangling Empire, there is no way to deal with this business alliance, it can be said that it is pervasive.
It is worth mentioning that the Wanbang Business Alliance has always played the role of a businessman from beginning to end, never intervening in any power struggle, nor taking sides. Because for the Wanbang Business Alliance, it doesn't matter who can unify the continent in the end, they are just trying their best to get the benefits they can get.
The power of the Wanbang Merchant Alliance is intricate, not only the realm of the Blood Demon Gate, but also the realm of the Huangling Empire, and almost every city has the shadow of the Wanbang Merchant Alliance. Moreover, the Wanyao Pavilion, Wanbao Building, Wanshiwu and other commercial organizations under the Wanbang Business Alliance have all reached the peak in their respective fields, even if it is a monopoly, it is not an exaggeration!
Although it is a simple commercial organization, the Wanbang Business Alliance has unimaginable influence and strength, and no one has ever dared to challenge its majesty.
