Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shock

"Brother, you've lost again, hurry up, I'm going to ride a horse......" Mei'er laughed cheerfully from the room.

"This ...... Can you change to a different one!" Jiang Xingchen's voice was a little helpless.

The day before yesterday, he made a game of backgammon and taught Mei'er how to play. Soon, the little girl fell in love with the game. In the beginning, he used black to take the lead, and almost every move was sure to win, but it didn't take long for the little girl to notice the strange thing and snatch the black piece into her hand.

In backgammon, the advantage of the first move is too great, and if you find the right way, you will win. The little girl started very quickly, and then she didn't let Jiang Xingchen open.

Seeing that there was no hope, Jiang Xingchen said the restrictions on black chess, three three forbidden hands, long consecutive forbidden hands, four four forbidden hands, there is only one way to win four or three.

Of course, the little girl would not agree at first, but when she saw Jiang Xingchen asking to change back to the black chess, her eyes rolled, and she agreed to the restriction on the black chess, but the conditions were increased, and if my brother lost, he would give me a horse to ride.

started again, and the two sides still won and lost each other at the beginning, but as Mei'er became more and more familiar with chess, Jiang Xingchen became tragic. Even if there are many forbidden hands, black chess also has a huge advantage, and there are originally three hands to exchange, and five hands and two dozen restrictions, but Jiang Xingchen, a half-asser, has only heard of it and doesn't understand it at all.

In the next two days, Mei'er pulled Jiang Xingchen and her five sons when she was fine, and then naturally Jiang Xingchen was always a horse.

Repeating the same action for two days in a row made him numb. Lying on the bed helplessly, letting Mei'er sit on his back, Jiang Xingchen wailed in his heart: "Cheap hands...... I'm okay to make this game for her, don't you find your own guilt!"

Mei'er giggled, and when she was having a good time, a voice came from outside the door: "Young Master Jiang, Young Master Zhao Danqing is here!"

"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly took advantage of the situation to get up, moved his waist, and finally got out of the sea of suffering!

"Is my brother going out again?" Mei'er retracted her laughter and bit her lip, feeling very reluctant. For so many years, she has been playing alone, and her brother is with her for the first time, so she is very attached to this feeling, and she has been pestering Jiang Xingchen for two days.

"The matter of the Zhao family's pharmaceutical, just one day today, my brother will come back in the evening!" Jiang Xingchen smiled softly and rubbed the little girl's hair.

"Well, brother, go, don't worry about me!" Mei'er is very sensible, she is in charge early, she naturally knows the priority of things, even if she is reluctant, it will not affect her brother to do business.

"I've already prepared the meal, just greet Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong when you're hungry!" Qian Feng, Zhou Xiong, are the two gangsters arranged by Sun Sanqiang, who have been staying here for the past two days.

"Brother, I'll take care of myself!" Mei'er said, after three days of taking the medicine, she was much better at this time.

"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, walked to the closet, took out a bag of things from it, and walked back to give it to Mei'er.

"What is this?" asked Mei'er, looking at the bag of shredded animal skins in her hand, confused.

"This is called a puzzle! Split a whole picture into three hundred small pieces, and see if you can put it back together today!" Jiang Xingchen said, and handed Mei'er a piece of white silk: "This is the original picture!"

"New game?" Mei'er's eyes gradually lit up, and she reached out to take the white silk and opened it to watch.

"Uh!" The moment she saw the white silk, Mei'er was stunned: "What is this?" On the white silk, a strange person is drawn, wearing a face covering, two horns on the top of the head, two long round eyes are inverted, the upper body is wearing a vest, and the lower body is actually a small triangular trousers.

"Hehe, this is called dynamic superman!" Jiang Xingchen laughed, he didn't expect that his dexterous hands actually had an effect on painting, and when he made this puzzle, it was simply easy and easy.

"Okay! Don't get too involved in playing, remember to eat and drink!" Jiang Xingchen smiled, patted Mei'er's head, took the three professional stitches, turned around and walked out of the door......

In the center of Hongyuan City, outside a large mansion next to the municipal official residence, hundreds of soldiers in light armor guarded the door, and a murderous aura made everyone who passed by stay away.

In the hall of the mansion, dozens of people were divided into four pieces and sat on both sides, obviously different groups, among which in the crowd of Zhao Family Pharmaceutical, Jiang Xingchen sat behind Zhao Zixiang and secretly looked at the other three groups.

"The two on the opposite side are Huanghetang and Yaoxianju! On our side, it is Hengtong Commercial Bank, not the local merchants of Hongyuan City, this time they directly cooperate with Lingcao Hall, and they are our biggest competitors......" Zhao Danqing was on the side, whispering to Jiang Xingchen about the current situation.

At this time, on the side of Hengtong Commercial Bank, two people stood up, one was a young man wearing white silk, and the other was a half-hundred old man with three strands of long hair, and the two walked directly in front of Zhao Zixiang.

"Zhao Family Master!" The young man smiled, did not bow his head, but his eyelids were Xiangxia, with a condescending look, and said: "I heard that your Zhao family pharmaceutical industry is in financial difficulties, I wonder if we have any opportunities to cooperate?"

"Mu Shaodong!" Zhao Zixiang stood up, his expression was calm, and he said lightly: "I don't know how you want to cooperate?"

"600,000 citrine coins, Zhaojia Pharmaceutical was merged into my Hengtong Commercial Bank...... Don't be too busy refusing yet!" the young man waved his hand and continued: "Think about it, if you fail this competition, you probably won't be able to pay off those debts!"

As soon as he spoke here, the entire hall fell silent, and the people in the Yellow Crane Hall and Yaoxianju on the opposite side all showed expressions of watching a good show.

"Hehe, this time Zhaojia Pharmaceutical is over! It was completely praised by Hengtong Commercial Bank, and the accumulation of decades was once gone!"

"They have occupied the supply of the Seventh Legion for twenty years, and it is time to give up this position!"

"Zhao Zixiang is known as the first physician saint, I don't know if Hou Ye will pay as much attention to him as he did in the past after this time......

The voices were quiet, but the hall was unusually quiet, and the words were still clear and harsh.

Zhao Danqing's face was gloomy, and his breathing became heavy.

Jiang Xingchen watched all this silently, and a few fingers of his right hand flicked slightly, so flexible that they seemed to be shaking like water ripples.

Zhao Zixiang was still indifferent, and said: "There's no need to think about it, Mu Shaodong, please go back!"

The half-hundred old man next to the young man suddenly interjected at this time: "Zhao Zixiang, do you still think that you can get the supply of the Seventh Legion, the effect of hemostatic medicine, the price, what are you doing?"

Zhao Zixiang glanced at the half-hundred old man and said, "Doctor Cui, let me tell you, just rely on the good reputation of the Zhao family pharmaceutical industry to cooperate with the Seventh Army for twenty years!"

"Reputation!" Doctor Cui was about to say more, but Mu Shaodong raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Since the head of the Zhao family is unwilling, we can't force it, let's go back!"

The two walked back, but Jiang Xingchen looked at the half-hundred-year-old man, and secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that this is Doctor Cui of the Spirit Grass Hall......

"Click......click" A sound of footsteps came into their ears, and everyone turned their heads to see several figures entering the hall.

The person at the front was about forty years old, dressed in animal skin tight-fitting clothes, tall and large, a few points more powerful than Zhao Danqing, and as soon as he came in, he had a powerful momentum, which made everyone in the hall breathe sluggish.

Behind them were three young men, one elegant, one with a fierce face, and one with a smiling face.

After these five people, there were seven or eight people, one of whom was the quartermaster who had been to Zhao's Pharmaceutical the day before yesterday.

When a group of people walked by, the quartermaster glanced at Mu Shaodong and nodded slightly.

The first one walked to the main seat in the middle and sat down, and asked, "Quartermaster, what is the result?"

The quartermaster hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Tell the corps commander, the four hemostatic drugs have been seen, the effect of Huanghetang and Yaoxianju is average, the Zhao family medicine is slightly better, and the best effect is Hengtong Commercial Bank!"

"Oh!" the legion leader frowned and asked, "Isn't the effect of the Zhao family medicine the best?"

"Yes! The subordinates have strictly tested it, and it is indeed Hengtong Pharmaceutical that has the best hemostatic effect!" replied the quartermaster.

"Hmm!" The corps commander nodded, although he had cooperated well with the Zhao family pharmaceutical in the past, it was related to the lives of soldiers, but there was no room for a little personal emotion.

"What about the price, which one is suitable?" the Legion Commander asked again.

At this time, another person stepped forward and said, "The lowest price is Huanghetang, followed by Yaoxianju, and the price given by Hengtong Commercial Bank is the same as that given by Zhaojia Pharmaceutical." ”

When the corps commander heard this, his eyes swept over Hengtong Commercial Bank and Zhaojia Pharmaceutical. Of course, he understands that Hengtong Commercial Bank must be maliciously competitive. But in such a situation, he can't take care of the Zhao family's firm, and if he doesn't use it well and cheaply, he will be criticized, and it will be difficult for him to explain to the Qiankun Emperor if he takes off a hat that deliberately weakens the empire's combat effectiveness.

Subsequently, the corps commander found someone to personally verify that it was indeed better than the hemostatic drugs of Hengtong Commercial Bank than Zhaojia Pharmaceutical.

Seeing that it had been confirmed, the Legion Commander decided that Hengtong Trading Bank was responsible for the supply of hemostatic drugs for the Seventh Legion.

But just as he was about to speak, Zhao Zixiang suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Legion Commander, the price of our hemostatic medicine can be reduced by another three percent!"

"What?" Zhao Zixiang said this, and everyone in the room was shocked.

"Zhao Zixiang has been driven crazy, and then it will be reduced by three percent, this is not a one-shot deal, and it will be continuously supplied later, and you can't afford to lose if you sell the Zhao family!"

After the shock, Mu Shaodong and Doctor Cui glanced at each other and smiled disdainfully.

The legion commander frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhao Zixiang, do you know what this sentence means?"

Zhao Zixiang smiled and said, "Of course I know! Our medicine is not only reduced by 30%, but also guaranteed to be more than three times better than the original!"

"More than three times!" Hengtong Commercial Bank, Huang Hetang, and Yao Xianju scoffed: "Zhao Zixiang is talking nonsense! More than three times, you are dreaming!"

The faces of those officers changed suddenly, and when Zhao Zixiang said this, was he taking the Seventh Army as a fool and deceiving him. The quartermaster had even opened his mouth to shout a loud scold.

Zhao Family Pharmaceutical, except for Jiang Xingchen and Zhao Danqing, everyone was so frightened that their faces turned white. Deceiving the Imperial Legion is a catastrophe if you don't get it right.

The muscles on the legion commander's face twitched twice, and he actually laughed angrily: "Zhao Zixiang, you are impulsive! Forget it, I don't care!" he said and waved his hand.

However, Zhao Zixiang did not retreat, but stood up, took out a short knife with his backhand, and slashed at his arm.
