Jincheng faction, Lelin City, Kong Er Old Street.

When the first rays of morning light were just projected onto the clean and dust-free counter, Qiu Zhenzhen, who entered the store from the back hall, realized that there was something different here. The piece of jade stone that had been pressed against the counter was moved forward three inches.

Without him, as the shopkeeper here, the lightness of the business made her pay extra attention to every furnishing here, and this was the means of contact agreed with the mysterious visitor of the Zhong family, simple and secret.

Call!

It really needs a very delicate girl's heart, Qiu Zhenzhen secretly thought, sometimes, she even thinks to the polished bronze mirror, will she be so harsh on her life, will she be infected with a little harmless, but neurotic hobby?

Of course, this is due to the fact that she has not been able to open up the situation.

As an undercover agent who is not professionally trained, the circles she can reach are all based on chance encounters and bold attempts to explore, rather than using any systematic methods, limited to the lack of investment in spirit stones, and cannot be compensated for by the use of crowd tactics. Although because of luck, I haven't suffered any losses, but I haven't gained much.

Retracting her thoughts, she paced to the counter as casually as ever, holding her hands on her slightly plump, but not concave chest that was wrapped in brocade cloth layers, and the afterglow fell on the town stone, and by the light of the morning light, she saw that there seemed to be some traces of water stains on the smooth counter.

"Your guess is right"

She saw the line that could be easily erased with just her hands, and moved the stone away, revealing another line of small print underneath it.

"Please deliver on your promise as soon as possible"

Is it a promise? That is, to handle the business of passing goods of the Imperial Wind Sect, their Zhong family needs to participate, Qiu Zhenzhen has already reported this matter to the connector of the Ming Spiegel Division, but she needs to wait for the reply of the head Jiang Feng, as time goes by, if she does not get a reply as soon as possible, then her situation will also become dangerous.

Qiu Zhenzhen naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen, at least she could forge Jiang Feng's instructions before the danger really came, such as this matter needed to be discussed in detail, and then take the opportunity to return to the Asa Mountain Sect with the envoy, of course, when it was not necessary, she thought to herself that there was no need to do this.

I have to pass on Wanqing's information first, and get the 20,000 tributes in hand. She instantly distinguished the priorities, so she called her partner Zhou Daxiang, instructed him a few words, and went out alone, detouring to the joint location again.

When passing by the "Xiangtanju", she deliberately pretended to arrange her forehead hair, and stayed at the door of this store for a while, and caught a glimpse of the business in this store as normal, except for one guy who seemed to be a little lame, the rest were cleaning the shelves as usual, preparing to open, so she was relieved, but when she passed the corner, she saw two new job postings.

Is there a store on this street that is not doing well, and is it going to change the owner and business direction?

Qiu Zhenzhen thought of this possibility for the first time, but she suddenly had a special idea, could she learn about some secrets in this city in disguise by pretending to recruit workers? It stands to reason that these idlers looking for jobs in the city should be able to learn some special things from time to time, right? Maybe this can be regarded as a crowd tactic that does not cost money?

However, this requires some questioning skills, as well as some preliminary selection conditions, to avoid too many people and too much attention from other stores.

Wei State, in the belly of Buluo Mountain.

Chen Kun, who had not healed his scars, flew into the large array of the mountainside in a few steps, his fingers moved slightly, and several spirit stones were embedded in the spirit array, and with a burst of light, the half-transparent cover was all opened, and he flew straight into the mountainside.

"Boy, you're hurt. ”

The upper body of Wan Lao Demon, who was facing away from him, had strong and powerful muscles, tense roots, as if the spiritual energy of substance was constantly impregnating and impacting around his body, like waves surging under a steep mountain wall.

"Hehe, it's okay, lucky not to die. Chen Kun didn't care about Old Demon Wan's attitude, "Time is limited, I have other things to help you with, I'm just here to tell you that I have successfully persuaded the city lords of the seven surrounding cities, but when the time is right, you need to go out and cooperate with me." ”

"There are five days left until the next psionic tide. Wan Lao Mo didn't look back, "Maybe this time I can succeed and advance to your so-called Void Heaven level." ”

"Good luck. Chen Kun pursed his lips, "When you leave the customs, if you can add a few Dan theories in time, it will be of great benefit to you to stabilize the Void Heaven level realm, so you'd better be prepared to fight with others." This site has been assigned to Tianyin Temple, and I will help you gather information about the monk as soon as possible. ”

"Very good!"

Wan Lao Mo said in a deep voice, and casually threw out six crystal fragments wrapped in the black mist and emitting cold air, floating in front of Chen Kun, "I took the time to refine the heart demon seeds, you can find some loose cultivation test seeds, but if I want, I can remotely possess them at any time and control their life and death." The human race is loyal on the surface, but in fact, most of them are people who see the wind and rudder, and when I go out, if no one is around, it will most likely make these city lords shake in their hearts and have two hearts. ”

"Old devil, you've thought it through. Chen Kun smiled, he was also worried about this matter, but there was no way to solve it, the fragment fell into his palm, and the ice qi was soaked, no

It made him feel a chill in his heart.

"Don't worry, it won't be used on you and your wife. These heart demon seeds, for the time being, can only be used on the middle stage of foundation building or the middle stage of the Xuan level, and the control distance is very limited, when I get out of the level to achieve the void heaven level, I can refine a more powerful heart demon seed, and when the time comes, I will teach you the method of control, so that they can work for us. ”

"Haha, Old Devil, you are really talented, you can figure out such a subtle technique, you should really be locked up in Lizong for another five hundred years, and concentrate on studying such methods. Chen Kun copied the seed of the demon in his hand, complained, and the figure quickly dissipated in the belly of the mountain.

............

Asayama sect, Luo Chuan.

Jiang Feng deliberately did not return directly, but chose the carriage that traveled to and from the trade route halfway, and changed the shape and appearance, using Jiang Xiaobai's face, and entered the courtyard of the Spiegel Division as a visitor.

He suspected that in Luochuan, there are still many eyes and ears of the foreign sect, and they have been paying attention to their whereabouts, and the information about Luochuan's shop given by Tu Shan, the head of Luoyingmen, and the focus of Wang Xiandao and Mingjing's investigation and suppression are all in Chixiamen, and the Jincheng faction, which was originally confirmed as "harmless and friendly", has almost been ignored, which has to be said to be a miscalculation, there are no eternal friends, and this must always be clearly understood.

It was only after entering the reception room of the Spiegel Division that Jiang Feng regained his original appearance, and summoned Zheng Yiyu, the deacon of the Spiegel Division, and ordered him to go to Wang Yi, the deacon of the Shutter Division, to check the retained reports in the inner mansion of the head of the house.

"Master, Senior Qiu sent a secret report the day before yesterday, saying that there is an important matter that you need to decide personally. Zheng Yiyu did not leave directly under the order, but reported Qiu Zhenzhen's report first.

"Something important?" Qiu Zhenzhen is a spy sent by herself to the Jincheng faction, how can she have something important, could it be that something big happened to the Jincheng faction, Jiang Feng opened the report suspiciously, and it was clear after a while.

This is the rhythm of being a part-time foreign affairs elder......

In other words, the Zhong family's words, do they really have the sincerity to make friends with the Qianshan Sect, or do they have other purposes, as a small city lord sandwiched between Leng Tingtao and Su Liqing, plus the background of Yanqiling, it is indeed a bit left and right, but it feels like walking on thin ice, to say that they want to have another way, this idea is not completely unreasonable.

To open up the trade routes in the north, according to the official documents of the previous exchanges between the Jincheng faction and the Assayama sect, it is indeed to order the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Shan, that is, the new city lord of Ningta City, to communicate and solve, but only the official face needs to come and go to achieve this purpose. And what benefits can be gained from reaching a closer cooperative relationship for the Asama Sect? Especially with Lelin City Lord Leng Tingtao, who has become a nominal ally ally on the issue of the "Beimu Special Zone".

Like Ruijinmen, become an ally in intelligence?

Although Yanqiling is already a passing cloud, the Zhong family still has some hidden power to use, in the central and northern parts of the Jincheng faction, it is indeed easier to get first-hand information than themselves, in the case that Su Liqing can not communicate with each other, and Leng Tingtao can not communicate with each other, it is indeed beneficial to have one more hand of protection and one more point of control.

The question is, is it worth it?

The transaction between the Imperial Wind Sect and the Asa Sect is basically transferred through the Chamber of Commerce designated by the Imperial Wind Sect, and most of the goods will be bought by the shops of the Asa Sect or the Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Shallow Mountain Sect, and sold to other neighboring sects, and the Asa Sect will also collect taxes from this bulk delivery and return most of them to the Royal Wind Sect at the end of the year.

Jiang Feng's original plan was to facilitate this matter through Dayi County and Donghu County, and if the conditions of the Zhong family were to be met, Tuqiao Town would need to be added.

It's not impossible.

It's just a matter of whether anyone is willing to be the intermediary underwriter. Dayi County naturally needless to say, under Shen Junmao's management, small chambers of commerce, including the Lizong Yu family, gathered, as long as there is a suitable price difference, they will try their best to swallow it, and Donghu County, after the Changning Chamber of Commerce expands its business, will also swallow most of the share, although it was blocked in Lelin City, but I heard that their business in Tianyou City was not affected. In Tuqiao Town, which is still a few remote areas, there is no chamber of commerce of the right size to settle in, and it is still a blank field, and there is just a long-term plan.

Business......

Jiang Feng remembered that in the Chu Mansion of Zhenwu City, Liu Xiqing, the head of the Liu family who had been quite harmonious, and Cheng Pingqian, the second shopkeeper of the Cheng family's commercial house, and the three of them, maybe they would be a little interested, although Tuqiao Town is still a withered area, but the land and labor are cheap, if you add the cooperation of the Zhong family, it may be profitable.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Qiu Zhenzhen was not deceived, if the Leng family or Su Liqing were the people behind this, then I am afraid the result would be different...... It's always good to be cautious.

However, send someone to talk to Wu Quanzhong in detail.

Jiang Feng gave instructions, and instead asked Zheng Yiyu to find Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, and talked about the matter carefully with him, and wrote a handwritten letter to him, together with Zheng Luda, the elder of general affairs, to visit Liu Xiqing and others, and invited them to go to Tuqiao Town to invest and do business, preferably in the form of a chamber of commerce, so that the other party can be given the convenience of land prices, no matter whether the information submitted by Qiu Zhenzhen is true or false, it will not hinder the opening of the trade route to the east of Tuqiao Town, for Liu Xiqing and others, even if they do not achieve the expected benefits in the future, most of them will not lose money。

Although it may be better to go by yourself, and it will be more sincere, but now there is still a matter of going to Zhenwu City to seek the support of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, and then going to visit Liu Xiqing and others, I am afraid that the time is not enough, and the Lei Youqi of the "Wuyi" team has already made an appointment, and in three days, whether the two sides find a helper or not, they will have a secret meeting in Trumen Town in the north, and now is not the time to make a difference. Moreover, in terms of communication on details, perhaps the combination of Zheng Luda and Wu Quanzhong is more suitable than himself.

Zheng Yiyu then summoned Wang Yi, Wang Yi went to the inner mansion of the head of the house according to the instructions, but only brought two reports, in addition, Jiang Hai happened to return from other places, Wang Yi also took matters into his own hands and summoned him. The report belongs to two people, one is Wei Jie, the town guard of Beimu County, and the other is Zheng Luda, the general elder.

This is Wei Jie's first report since taking over as the town guard, and it has a lot of content and is very detailed. There are three things mentioned in the report, one of which is that she has expanded the scope of the investigation on the basis of the price difference of materials investigated by Qiu Zhenzhen before, and put the operation and resale of five kinds of mundane items on the right track.

Yes, sure enough, in terms of managing money, women are geniuses, but I underestimated Wei Jie, I originally thought that Qiu Zhen, who was not right-minded, was really a good player, but I didn't expect that Wei Jie was also quite talented in this regard, and even surpassed Qiu Zhenzhen a lot. Jiang Feng sighed secretly in his heart, skipped the detailed and neat detailed rules and reports that he couldn't understand, and continued to look back.

Second, in addition to the two ordinary children of the Wei family, she has taken advantage of the convenience of the exchange of people here, and recruited an additional eight ordinary assistants to assist in handling the business here, each of them has some skills, she will take extra time to train them, in this regard, she has some experience, if it is confirmed that the method is useful, she hopes to apply for some spirit stone funds, used to train more available people, and also looks forward to sending them to various counties for trial in the future, reducing the burden of guarding the affairs of each county and town, or assigned to each town, replacing the work of mortal guards, so as to push the affairs of the sect to a new height。

Is this due to the inertia of the lady's life?

is still a personal style, which is completely different from Zhou Xing, a "counselor" who likes to suggest system reform, Li Youde, a "virtuous official" who likes to spend money and persuade people to be kind, and Shen Junmao, an "idle official" who is good at expanding his business territory from making friends, Wei Jie seems to have found her own unique way of governing a county - talent output.

Third, Wei Jie detected that there was a significant trend of decreasing the number of casual cultivators who had recently come and gone, judging from her past experience, this was a precursor to the imminent start of the Great War, and she suggested that the intelligence department should strengthen the intelligence work, and at the same time limit the words and deeds of the monks in the sect, reduce the experience of going out, and avoid getting involved in a possible war.

It is a cautious character, and it is also very meticulous, the price of monks has risen, and the scattered cultivators have been recruited by various forces, all of which indicate that war may occur, I believe that each sect around has its own judgment, but in terms of the specific timing, all parties have their own opinions.

At present, according to the news from all sides, the war may break out in the autumn of next year, but maybe there will be small frictions before this, and this point, the Asayama Sect must prepare early, for this reason, Jiang Feng plans to use the excuse of the Dao Exchange Meeting and the second meeting to restrict the monks of the sect from going out too much after the Winter Ascending Immortal Conference, and use reasonable reasons to reduce the spread of panic as much as possible.

Regarding Fuyuan Town, after reaching a cooperation agreement with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, everything here, after Zheng Luda urgently recruited a group of miners according to Jiang Feng's requirements, there was no more action, the situation here, everything went naturally, only a few times, when the ordinary steward reported to Luo Chuan, the situation there would be synchronized.

However, in the name of investigating the mineral exploration situation, Zheng Luda personally visited the construction site of the Lingcang Chamber of Commerce, and this report came from this.

The report mentioned that the scale of the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce's employment has been significantly reduced compared with before, but the work of exploring the pulse has not stopped, and at least two mineral deposits of some value have been found, but they have not been mined.

This is natural, they didn't come for the mineral deposit in the first place, but this secret, Jiang Feng couldn't share it with the elders and the people in the sect.

Jiang Feng knew in his heart that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce had reduced the manpower input, so perhaps he had followed his own advice and used demon puppets instead to reduce the continuous losses caused by the death of people. From this point of analysis, their exploration of the secrets of the True Spirit Sage may have entered a new stage.

I don't know what they will get out of it? Jiang Feng, who escaped from the cave of the True Spirit Sage, couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, but compared to the danger there, Jiang Feng felt that it was better to wait until he reached a higher realm, and besides, the more confidential thing than the True Spirit Sage was probably the mysterious existence called "Great Wilderness Town".

instructed a few people not to reveal the news of their short stay in Luochuan to anyone, and explained their whereabouts to Jiang Hai alone, so that he could stay in Luochuan temporarily, once something big happened, he could go to Chumen Town to find himself, and at the critical moment, the most trustworthy person was still Jiang Hai.

Disguised again, he borrowed the carriage and horse of the Spiegel Division to go out of the Luochuan territory, and traveled westward for dozens of miles, until there was no one outside, Jiang Feng took the headwind and flew straight to the direction of Zhenwu City.
