Chapter 683: The Situation

After being frightened by sea beasts all the way, I finally came to the dock of Qingyuan Island, and now the dock is no longer the broken thing built of wood at the beginning, but a dense volcanic rock of all colors, which is not only strong, but also has a good anti-corruption effect, so that it will not be so easily eroded by the sea water like ordinary rocks.

The scale of the wharf is very large, and when they arrived, there were several of the largest cargo ships loaded, and the specially treated boxes were loaded onto the cargo ship by strong workers, as for what was inside, it was clear to everyone, it was nothing more than a precious material in the sea, but they didn't know what it was.

After getting off the boat, Andulan enthusiastically led the way, and walked to the central council hall, which was called the haunted house by Ouyang Feng, walking on the path that was also paved with dense volcanic rock, looking at the various treasures piled up on both sides of the road, several patriarchs and entourages from the merchant families of Ula City were all dumbfounded, the piles of pearls, seaweed of various colors, huge corals a few people high, and ores that exuded a slight chill, each of which was so precious, but it was randomly stacked here, and these people were distressed。

Seeing this, Andulan smiled faintly and explained a few words casually, saying that there are too many materials on the island, there are not so many warehouses to store them, and this place is only a transit, and it will not be stored for a long time before it will be stacked here.

After speaking, he also pointed to the black things in a huge wooden basin on the side of the road and introduced them to a few ladies who accompanied him, saying that these sea mud looked a little unsightly, but long-term use has a very good moisturizing effect on the skin and can slow down the aging of the skin. Stay young. And. Andulan was also very generous in asking the ladies to take some back with them to try the effect when they left, which made several noblewomen and maidens grateful.

Before they came, they had heard of this kind of sea mud, and the people who had used it said that the effect was very good, and they also thought about buying some for their own use, but this kind of thing was a little difficult to transport, and the transportation capacity of Qingyuan Island was not so developed, so the sea mud transported out. It is only a small part, and it is all given to some big merchants as gifts, so the sea mud on the market is very rare, so few that it is almost invisible, and it is privately bought by some noble ladies and families with various relationships, so that the little bit of sea mud that appears in the market has been copied by some shrewd businessmen to a sky-high price unimaginable for the poor.

In the main hall, after some greetings, without waiting for a few people to explain their intentions, Andulan took the initiative to speak. According to the size and affordability of the families to which these people lived, they were given a certain share. became a partner of the Qingyuan Guild, and when he sent away these old acquaintances, he also ordered people to take a lot of the sea mud he said before to give to their families, so that those women thanked them one by one, sighing that Andulan is now soaring, and he is no longer the little person who cared about even a copper coin before.

Like several business families in Ula City, there are many chambers of commerce that have a good relationship with the Qingyuan Guild, some of them helped when the Qingyuan Guild was just established, and there are also some who have been introduced by Yaheng and others to supply Qingyuan Guild food or other goods at a low price。

For these friends who have helped the Qingyuan Guild, Andulan is not stingy, he can help as much as he can, he will not give less, but he will not give more, after all, there are some things, not the more the better, you can't eat a fat person in one bite, it takes time to slowly digest and stabilize.

In addition to Qingyuan City and Qingyuan Island, there is also the steady development of the Qingyuan Guild, Ula City, Zhongping City and Demon Cloud City have maintained their original peace, and they have not been annexed by the Centaur Alliance as Ouyang Feng feared, and with the help of Anno and Luo Ya, the strength of the three cities has become stronger than before, and Yaheng's rule has become more and more stable, plus the Qingyuan Guild has spent a lot of money to repair and rebuild, the three cities have become more and more perfect, and the living standards of the civilians have gradually improved.

In the past two years, while the Qingyuan Guild has developed rapidly, some forces led by the Farke family who have a killing heart for Ouyang Feng have not been idle, at the beginning, a large number of people were sent to search for Ouyang Feng's whereabouts all over the world, but after more than a year of searching, there was no clue, so these people began to fight the idea of Yaheng and others, wanting to capture Yaheng, Angelo and Gail alive, in order to coerce Ouyang Feng to appear.

However, these forces didn't expect that Qingyuan City was not only Yaheng and their three masters, in addition to Anno and Luo Ya, who had been hiding in the shadows, and more than a dozen of them, Li Mu and Huolong Zhenren, who got the news, also sent many masters to secretly protect, so that more than a dozen Jindan masters jointly sent by several forces were almost wiped out before they entered Qingyuan City, only two of them fled back, and they were not lightly injured。

The strength of several forces was damaged, so they naturally refused to take a break, and were about to send a stronger lineup again, but they were severely stopped by Li Mu, after all, although these people are the descendants of these forces, they are also subordinate to the Orion Alliance, Li Mu has the right to restrain them, and if the loss is too great, it will also affect the strength of the entire alliance, if the advantages obtained by the alliance are wasted because of their wanton behavior, then even if the background of these forces is strong, they can't bear such a mistake.

As a result, these forces had to restrain their arrogance, gave up their ill-intentioned intentions towards Yaheng and others, and only sent people to lurk in Qingyuan City, secretly monitoring the movements of Yaheng and several people, hoping to find out Ouyang Feng's whereabouts. Li Mu knew that these forces would not give up, so he simply did not stop doing anything, united with the Shushan commanders from the first line of the earth in the Eastern Theater, and transferred most of the manpower of these forces to the forefront of the confrontation with the Centaur Alliance, consuming their energy and time, and also consuming their strength.

Let's talk about the situation on the mainland, although the two alliances have not officially started a war, but there is constant friction, some time ago, because Ouyang Feng and the Orion Alliance overshadowed the Centaur Alliance, so that the Centaur Alliance was caught off guard, the manpower dispatch was not timely, and the Orion Alliance occupied a lot of land, and Ouyang Feng once again destroyed the Centaur Alliance's maritime offensive plan, so that the Centaur Alliance had to put its focus back on the mainland again, gather the surrounding manpower together, and constantly harass the area under the jurisdiction of the Orion Alliance, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to regain the lost territory in one fell swoop。

And the Orion Alliance is not a vegetarian, although tired of dealing with local harassment, but they did not sit still, but also sent people to harass each other, in this way, the two sides fought a tie again, no one can help the other, the Orion Alliance's newly obtained regional rule is also more and more stable, and constantly dispatch troops to garrison the border, both sides are preparing for the upcoming war to officially break out, a showdown.

And the Holy City, as an ally of the Orion Alliance, also secretly put pressure on the Centaur Alliance, they did not have a head-on conflict with the Centaur Alliance, but the continuous deployment of troops was aimed at some deployments of the Centaur Alliance, which made the three-way commander of the Centaur Alliance a headache and hated it, but there was nothing to do with the Holy City, after all, people did not announce their participation in the war, and others could not control how they were willing to toss.

During this time, the major families of the Holy City maintained close contact with the battlefields on the east and west sides of the Orion Alliance, and Kunlun represented by Li Mu and Shushan on the East Road battlefield also seized this opportunity to secretly carry out various cooperation with the Holy City, including the exchange of information on the Centaur Alliance, the exchange of various materials, the supply of weapons and equipment, and some other aspects of cooperation.

The two sides can cooperate without reservation, they are very clear, the key to this is Ouyang Feng, if there is no relationship with Ouyang Feng, the Holy City will not help these hateful outsiders, even if there is a deal, it will not involve military aspects, and Ouyang Feng's appearance, and his good relationship with the Holy City, plus Ouyang Feng itself belongs to the Orion Alliance, the two sides will have so much cooperation, everyone is preparing for the next war, they are all busy, and Ouyang Feng, the key person, is leisurely drinking tea in the cave with a few like-minded guys。

In the disorderly mountains, in the cave, Nina, the little girl who had been cultivating for a month, stretched her waist, walked to Ouyang Feng and the others, pulled a chair and sat down lazily, leaned down on the stone table with her hands, and said to Ouyang Feng with a sad face: "It's been so long, let's stay here all the time, I'm about to suffocate to death, four masters, or let's go out for a walk, even if we don't go to Hengshan City, we can go hunting outside." ”

Adonis teased, "How can you suffocate, the toilet is over there, go ahead, no one will rob you." ”

The little girl glared at Adonis, and looked at Ouyang Feng expectantly. Qingfeng said with a smile: "Little girl, your progress doesn't seem to be great, have you been lazy for so long, haven't you cultivated at all, and have you been hiding in it to sleep?"

Nina said aggrievedly: "I'm not lazy, I've worked hard, but I don't know why, the speed of cultivation is getting slower and slower, and there has been no progress at all in the past few days." (To be continued......)
