Chapter Ninety-Three: Offered
It's just that everything doesn't seem to follow his thoughts, and he's like a spinning top right now, being whipped forward.
Xiao Qi stood in front of this Gao Song Gate and felt the wealth of the Luo family.
With this style alone, it was enough to overwhelm other ruby merchants.
Speaking of Luo Xifeng, a red jade merchant, most of his identity is still a foreign branch of the Luo family.
Although Luo Xifeng was the last reluctant to mention this, people still associated it with the Immortal League Luo family, that powerful and suffocating family. This is also the reason why they are all red jade merchants, but other merchants want to be led by Luo Xifeng.
In the jade-level businessman who dares to confront Luo Xifeng head-on, I'm afraid that Xiao Qi is just alone.
But all this seems to be irrelevant now, because this time at the banquet, all the contradictions will be resolved, or Xiao Qi will be killed by himself, or what kind of conditions will he pay. Xiao Qi had already been mentally prepared, in order to prevent all the Zhou guards from being slaughtered by the Xuanyin Sect, Xiao Qi could be regarded as fighting.
It was precisely this kind of thinking that made Xiao Qi completely relieved after stepping into the red paint threshold again. Because since everything has been predestined a long time ago, why should he cower forward, will he not be laughed at?
Xiao Qi's free and easy character is tempered by the cruel environment of the Little Heaven Realm, he is like a grass that survives tenaciously from the cracks of the cliff, even if it falls and it will be shattered, even if a gust of wind and rain will uproot it, he still stubbornly welcomes them.
Xiao Qi strutted forward, and there were several guards and Yi San following by his side.
This time, he brought Yi San here, the purpose was to borrow his calculations and prepare to bargain with Luo Xifeng.
When Yi San walked to the second gate, he exclaimed calmly: "It's really magnificent, worthy of being a red jade merchant, just this top-level Lingtan wood, but it's worth 10,000 gold."
Xiao Qi glanced back at him and found that his triangular eyes were full of money.
But when Xiao Qi heard about Wanjin, he couldn't help but glance at the doorpost a few more times.
The carved beams and painted columns are indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately it is still a doorpost, and no amount of money can change this.
Xiao Qi seemed to have found a suitable excuse for himself, so he withdrew his gaze and walked through this gate of wealth and wealth with great calm.
Then they walked through the first courtyard, which was also called the waiting room by the Luo family.
At this time, the spacious, like a square courtyard was crowded with people, all of them brightly dressed, with a sense of wealth and compelling on their faces. Especially when Xiao Qi caught a glimpse of the jade belt around their waists, he knew that they were all jade-level merchants.
Originally, Xiao Qi didn't feel a sense of pride in his jade-level merchants, but when he saw so many jade-level merchants gathered together, he couldn't wait to immediately pull off the jade belt around his waist and throw it away.
When Xiao Qi gradually applied to these jade-level merchants, he felt that this was not bad, at least Luo Xifeng did not dare to attack himself in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.
At first, Xiao Qi thought that Luo Xifeng's invitation to him was a private banquet, or rather, there was no banquet at all, as long as he walked in, he would be tied up and sent to the dungeon. At this moment, so many jade-level businessmen gathered together, it was obviously a real banquet, which really made Xiao Qi feel a lot at ease.
It's just that as time went by, Xiao Qi still didn't see the banquet decorations, but those jade-level merchants couldn't resist it by themselves, so they took out some snacks on their own, sat on their knees, and began to taste them.
This situation made Xiao Qi feel extremely weird.
That person who has such a hospitality for guests, even if he is Luo Xifeng, should not be so abrupt.
Just when Xiao Qi looked confused, he said in a high-pitched voice, "Please invite the head of the Luo family."
Then countless voices chimed in, "Please, please."
After the voice repeatedly, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and about fifty years of age walked out. He doesn't have a bit of a businessman's aura on him, and the Dao is more gangster, which is somewhat similar to the smiling Yan Luo in Xiao Qi's memory. It's just that the smiling face Yama is smiling, and he is really serious, and his eyes exude a chill from time to time, and it seems that there is never a time to melt.
Xiao Qi was stunned, Luo Xifeng had already walked into the hall and sat down on a tall chair. He looked around, and finally stared at a top jade-level merchant and said, "Presumably this is the president of the Qingyu Chamber of Commerce", Luo Xifeng's attitude was soft, but his unsmiling face was out of place to make people feel cold.
The president of the Qingyu Chamber of Commerce hurriedly nodded and said: "Little Lao'er is exact, Xiao Lao'er sees the head of the Luo family, and I hope that the head of the Luo family can raise his noble hand and give the Qingyu Chamber of Commerce a way out." As soon as these words came out, the entire hall became angry and became nervous, and many jade-level merchants rushed towards Luoxi Peak.
At this moment, Xiao Qi saw clearly, this is a banquet, is it clearly a negotiation?
He hurriedly took advantage of the looseness in the crowd and hid to the side, and he didn't want to get involved.
After all, my own things are already bad enough, so why bother with any more troubles.
I saw that in the center of the hall, Luo Xifeng's eyes swept away, and he said coldly: "President Qingyu, is this a bit excessive, our Haihe Business Alliance and Qingyu Chamber of Commerce do not violate the river water, why do you want me to let you have a way out?"
Luo Xifeng is worthy of being a red jade merchant, and when he faces the crowd of turmoil, he can still maintain that kind of bearing, so that the restless crowd calms down.
"Master Luo, your Haihe Merchant Alliance has monopolized the Earth Flame Vein, and our Qingyu Merchant Alliance has been mainly engaged in harvesting Earth Flame Spirit Essence for generations, isn't this the lifeblood of our Green Jade Merchant Alliance?" The old jade-level merchant also argued at this time.
"Mining the Earth Flame Vein requires the approval of the Immortal Alliance, and we also follow the system and receive the Imperial Order from the Immortal Alliance, but we don't cut off the Earth Flame Vein privately" Luo Xifeng stared at President Qingyu with his eyebrows.
"This old man knows, so he came to discuss with the Luo family master, and I hope that the Luo family master can think about the livelihood of the thousands of people in the Qingyu Business Alliance, whether it can be flexible" Qingyu President saw Luo Xifeng's eyes full of murderous intent, and his face became even more ugly, but he couldn't help but say it.
"How do you want to be flexible, do you want me to give up the Diyan Vein, that is impossible, you only know that your livelihood will be blocked in the future, but you know that my Luoxi Peak is lost, the annual rent of this Diyan Vein is hundreds of thousands of gold, which does not include all the relationship points, you want me to give up the Yanmai, that is undoubtedly forcing my Luo family to close!!" At this time, Luoxifeng had already taken the case, and there was a solemn murderous aura, which made the entire courtyard cold.
Many people didn't see the Ice Blade, but no one doubted that from a certain corner of this courtyard, there were countless spiritual weapons and hidden weapons facing each of them.
Elder Qingyun's face was also purple to the color of pig liver, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "We are not forcing the Luo family master to withdraw completely, we just hope that the Luo family master will leave us a few earth flame veins to plant the essence of the earth flame, and we can pay three times the usual rent to make up for the loss of the family master."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Xifeng's originally cold face suddenly became like a spring breeze, and at this time, Xiao Qi realized that this guy could laugh, and he smiled so brightly.
"President Qingyu said this, the Haihe Business Alliance and the Qingyun Association have always been friendly and mutually helpful, since the president has encountered difficulties, how can I, as a friend, sit idly by and cut off the financial route of the Qingyun Society, so let's do it, I have decided not to dig out the Earth Flame Vein, and it is good to sublease it to you together."
As soon as Luo Xifeng's words came out, Yi San suddenly got up, and his beard trembled with excitement: "This is the way of business, it is clear that he wants to sublease at a good price, but let others take the initiative to propose, and it makes people speechless."
Sure enough, at this time, even the half-kneeling old Qingyu president on the ground seemed to have a sense of repentance, and he was just about to regret it, but his shoulder was held down by Luo Xifeng with one palm and said: "If the president doesn't accept Luo's friendship, then Luo can only mine the leyline core to refine weapons."
As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Qingyu Chief, and he said with a dejected sigh: "Okay, everything is according to what the Luo family master said."
After that, countless green jade merchants sighed, they knew very well that part of the profits after that were taken away by the man in front of them.
"Everyone, please enter the inner hall, Luo has prepared a good banquet for you," said Luo Xifeng and left, and many guards came out behind him to block the entrance.
This is the entry of the table, which is clearly forced to sign an unequal treaty.
This hand is really ruthless, Xiao Qi really saw Luo Xifeng's methods, and his heart became even more worried about his own experience and fate.
At this moment, a servant in Tsing Yi came over and beckoned to them: "Presumably this is the little seventh brother, please come with me, the head of the family will give the inner court a family banquet hospitality."
"Family banquet in the inner court?" Xiao Qi's mouth was about to open. Just now, those jade-level merchants were just given a banquet, and they were forced to pay several times the benefits.
If I went to the inner court for a family banquet this time, wouldn't I be cramped and skinned.
Xiao Qi glanced at Yi San bitterly, but he couldn't refuse, the matter had come to this, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they could only go down.
As the little guy turned around a few corridors and returned to the hall, finally in a room that looked extremely elegant and simple, he saw the red jade merchant who had just made a lot of power and played a group of jade-level merchants, Luo Xifeng. By this time, he had already changed out of the robe and replaced it with a casual short-sleeved shirt. He sat alone on a wooden bench and poured himself a cup of tea.
At this time, he still looks like a powerful businessman, not a big red jade businessman, but more like an old man who ignores the world and wanders outside the world.
This Luoxi Peak, which has many faces, made Xiao Qi feel for the first time what is called unfathomable in people's hearts.
Seeing Xiao Qi walk into the house, Luo Xifeng put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Xiao Qi lightly, then casually pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Xiao Qi was stunned, and he couldn't help but walk to his side and sit down.
I don't know why, but his words seem to have a kind of magic that makes people obey unconditionally.
After Xiao Qi sat down, Luo Xifeng raised his head again, his eyes were almost at the same level as him, and said: "I have courage, courage, and responsibility, but it's a pity that I have lost a little luck."
This was the first thing Luo Xifeng said after seeing Xiao Qi. This may seem like a peaceful and unremarkable word of approval, but it has a lot of information hidden in it.
This has been confessed to Xiao Qi again, he has investigated himself. And he is clear about his past.
Xiao Qi faced this seemingly peaceful, but extremely deep gaze, and was unable to deal with it for a while.
He was silent for a long time before taking a long breath, and said to Luo Xifeng: "Since the head of the family is extremely clear about my identity, then I won't talk nonsense anymore, now I can talk to the head of the family frankly, what can I do to eliminate the grudge between me and the head of the family."
Hearing Xiao Qi's straightforward words, Luo Xifeng was not annoyed, maybe he was angry again, but he had already cultivated to the level of joy and colorlessness.
Luo Xifeng took a slight sip of tea, then picked Xiao Qi and said, "What do you think of Zhen'er?"
Not only did he not respond to Xiao Qi's matter of resolving grievances, but asked Luo Zhen'er.
Xiao Qi was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then concluded: "She.... It's beautiful.... But also .....".
The rest of the words, Xiao Qi really can't say anything, no matter how smoky Luo Zhen'er is, he can't belittle it in front of his father.
Luo Xifeng sighed, put down the teacup and said, "It seems that you still have a deep grudge against Zhen'er."
Saying that, Luo Xifeng's eyes glanced inward, intentionally or unintentionally.
Then Luo Xifeng said: "Actually, you don't know Zhen'er very well, her mother died early, I brought it up, in order to make up for her lack of mother's care, I do spoil her, but Zhen'er is a kind girl, she usually takes care of injured small animals, and will go to help some poor people."
Ah, is this still Xiao Qi's impression, that brutal and tough, unbeatable Miss of the Luo family?
But when you think about it, Xiao Qi is relieved, there are fathers who don't praise their daughters.
Maybe in Luo Xifeng's eyes, his daughter is an angel, but in Xiao Qi's memory, she is a tigress, and she is still extremely ferocious.
It seemed that Luo Xifeng also saw that it was difficult to resolve the resentment in the kid's heart with just a few words, so he changed the topic and said: "Say, when are you going to lead the trade route, by the way, it has another name, Yan Luo Ling."
In a word, Xiao Qi's hairs stood up all over his body, if he had found out his details before, Xiao Qi would still be able to understand, and it should not be difficult to find out his identity as a small heaven realm with a business alliance. But the other party even knew that Yan Luo Ling was a little terrifying.
Seeing Xiao Qi's face change, Luo Xifeng took another sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, boy, I won't take the love of others."
On the one hand, this sentence reassures Xiao Qi, and on the other hand, it also releases another signal, that is, he seems to value things more than Yan Luoling.
"What exactly do you want?" Xiao Qi also stared at Luo Xifeng in surprise and asked.
"You?" Luo Xifeng's eyes swirled, staring at him with a strange look.
"What?" Xiao Qi flickered, staggered his steps, and then stared straight at Luo Xifeng and said, "Okay, since you want revenge, I will give this order, but you must let my brothers go and escort them to the Little Heaven Realm."
When Luo Xifeng heard this, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Xiao Qi suspiciously: "Why do you think I will kill you.... I'm talking about you as a person, alive, dead and I'm not interested."
