"You shouldn't come. ”

Su Liqing stared at the person in front of him for a moment, and there was a little anger hidden under his calm expression, confirming that under the other party's disguise, it was Liang Pusheng, who had been in contact with him, the second shopkeeper of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce, who could lock himself in front of his own dress as a big dart master, and he must be the only one who could lock him at the first time.

"The six county lords have already gone to Shuanglong City, and I can't contact them for a while, so I can only go to Quan Shuisheng for help. Liang Pusheng leaned over, although there was a soundproof note, he still habitually whispered, "Master Su, I have helped you a lot before and after, you see, the matter of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce, do you think about it again." ”

"You did help me before, but I also gave you a return, didn't I?

"The old fairy has rules. The corners of Liang Pusheng's mouth twitched slightly, as if he remembered a not very pleasant past, "This can't be regarded as a help, and besides, I only need ten, no, eight kinds of monopoly rights, if it's not convenient, I can find a small chamber of commerce signboard to cover up one or two, so as not to trouble you." ”

"It's difficult, now I'm just an alliance leader, unlike in the past, it's hard to convince the two of them. ”

"Master Su, you are deliberately shirking it, speaking of which, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is not the way of a businessman. ”

"I'm not a businessman, I'm just like you, I'm a cultivator. Su Liqing responded indifferently, picked up the tea, took a small sip, but pondered the appropriate excuse in his heart, "The most I can promise you is that the city outside the Jincheng Sect Tianyou City will exempt you from thirty percent of the commercial tax, but you still have to pay it in advance, and I will find a way to return it in other names at the end of the year, otherwise, I can't do the work on face, and I can't explain it to several other chambers of commerce." ”

"How about expanding to the scope of the Jincheng Alliance?" It's just that if the Jincheng faction is concerned, Liang Pusheng thinks that he doesn't have much benefit, and besides, except for Tianyou City, the business scale of other cities is limited, and if it is returned at the end of the year, it is still unknown whether it can be successfully obtained.

"No, I said. ”

"Master Su, this ...... You're going a little too far. Liang Pusheng stood up, despite the fickleness of a businessman, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart, at the elders' meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, he had been impeached by several people for standing on the wrong team, he thought to himself that he was right, not to mention, there must be a suitable team to occupy, even if he did not participate in the forced palace of Su Liqing, and did not secretly report to Su Liqing, the current situation may not be much better than now.

"Out of this door, there are such conditions, and there is no more. ”

Su Liqing was unhurried, and when he saw that Liang Pusheng was about to go out, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "The situation is not as good as before, and now everyone is very sad, let's be considerate of each other, Liang Daoyou." ”

I understand you as a ghost, you are a villain who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, Liang Pusheng scolded angrily in his heart, but the identity of a businessman, adhering to the concept of making money with harmony, made him still hold back the anger in his heart, "Okay, let's discuss this again, Master Su, go back and make an appointment." ”

Go back and make an appointment?

Su Liqing carefully touched the deep meaning in this sentence, Liang Pusheng is indeed a credit to himself, if he hadn't reported the news halfway, things would probably get out of control, and he would even have worries about his life. He also wanted to give a little return, but now that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce has entered strongly, he is now more concerned about the profitability of his own Chamber of Commerce, rather than the interests of an outsider.

On the other hand, Su Liqing also thought at the same time, this Liang Pusheng bypassed his youngest daughter Su Ji'er and came directly to him, either because the matter was urgent and dealt with the authority, or because he was worried and thought about it carefully, the former should not be, otherwise he would have come to find himself early, after all, the matter of direct transmission through Quan Shuisheng was not once or twice, thinking about it this way, it was the latter.

What does he have to weigh in his heart, and the first step to come here is to see what price he can offer? Thinking about it from another angle, Su Liqing quickly figured out the key to it, businessmen are heavy on profits, that is the matter of interests, someone promised some benefits to Liang Pusheng, but he wanted to get more from himself, so he came to test it today.

I think so. This is the real intention of his visit.

The question is, who gave him the promise?

Su Li cleared the door of this cultivation dojo, returned to the vicinity of the Zhangmen's inner mansion with ease, collected the disguise, and when he sat back on the newly customized Zhangmen's chair, he had already thought of the breakthrough in the matter.

Where has Liang Pusheng been recently, and who has he met? There are only a few people who can set conditions for him, there are only Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zician in the sect, and outside the sect, there are Chixia Sect, Biyun Sect and Qianshan Sect, and the Funing Chamber of Commerce As far as he knows, there are some industries in these places, especially Chixia Gate, which is difficult

Could it be that Zeng Baoxian is secretly playing ghosts?

No, it's impossible, Chixiamen, who has just experienced a tragic war, should still be secretly licking their wounds now, how can they have the heart to do such a thing, not to mention, they also have the same problem of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, and the predicament they are facing is basically the same, why bother to come and secretly provoke themselves?

Su Liqing didn't think about this matter clearly, so he had to wait for his subordinates to investigate Liang Pusheng's matter before making a decision, but he immediately remembered Su Jin's matter, so he took out a detailed map of the vicinity of the Jincheng faction, and just wanted to check it, but was interrupted by Liang Pusheng's secret visit.

Looking closely at this detailed map, the Jincheng faction, the Lelin Gate, and the Huanglongmen have been faintly separated by dotted lines, although there is a clear difference with the junction division of the various sects, but it is obvious that the surrounding sects have accepted their own changes of "changing sects into alliances", and it is not a bad thing to have a weaker neighbor, and it is common sense in the hearts of people with a little concept.

It's just that you don't know my plans.

Su Liqing pondered the preliminary communication with the envoy of the "Nine Old Men" Liu Tingjian, as well as the harvest from visiting Qing Yuzong, Wan Yuting had agreed to join the organization that was still named "Jincheng League", and agreed to open up all trade routes, correspondingly, Su Liqing needed to persuade Biyun Sect, as well as Lelinmen and Huanglongmen, and he, as the first deputy alliance leader, would come forward to coordinate the interests of all parties.

The deputy alliance leader is just a false position, at least Wan Yuting thinks so, but Su Liqing doesn't think so, the reason why he hurriedly wants to pull the Qingyu Sect into the alliance is because he saw the weakness of this sect early on, and after this trip, he found that there was more than one place.

First of all, the Qingyu Sect did not have enough monks, at least not in line with the territory it occupied. Tianyin Temple, Tianluomen, Jinguang Pavilion three divided into Wei State, most of the monks chose one side as a place to stay, Wan Yu Pavilion can be wooed, but a bunch of rabble, originally thought that these people are scattered, not to worry, this trip is to find the original "heart demon seed" rumors, it is indeed the truth, Su Liqing is more convinced of his own judgment, with a temporary deterrence, may be able to gather enough strength in a short period of time, but over time, there will definitely be civil strife, and once the civil strife occurs, he can use the "Jincheng League" In the name of pulling the people of the Qing Yu Sect into their hands, and stealing this coastal territory;

On the other hand, although the territory of the Qingyu Sect is not small, it lacks sufficient material output, and once the alliance is formed, the resources from the Biyun Sect and the hometown of the Jincheng Sect will gradually fill the entire Qingyu Sect, and eventually divide the interests here, making it more dependent on the hinterland;

Finally, it is also the point that Su Liqing values the most, that is, although Wan Yuting's cultivation realm has reached the pseudo-heaven level, there is not a single monk in the middle of the prefecture level or the middle stage of Jindan, and there is a huge gap period, which provides him with a very good position personally, if you don't consider the "second master" with a transcendent status Chen Kun's words, then this is even more suspenseful, Wan Yu Pavilion has reached the pseudo-heaven level, naturally he will not focus all his energy on the development of the sect, and he does not have the corresponding experience accumulation, looking at the various sects in the North Continent, most of the monks who have reached the pseudo-heaven level or Yuanying will self-proclaim themselves as the head of the Taishang and concentrate on the avenue, presumably after everything is on the right track, this Wan Yu Pavilion will also follow suit.

In other words, although there is one more person on the head, as long as this person is dedicated to the Great Dao, it will have no adverse effect on himself, but will have an extra layer of protection. He only needs to make every effort to find a way to put the real power on this "deputy alliance leader", and come up with a suitable reason not to give up this position during the rotation, then it will be the same as the master of this Golden City Alliance: a larger territory, with pseudo-heaven-level monks, including the southern part of the hometown of the Seven Alliances, several cities in the original Great Wei Kingdom, and a new sect with a third-order spiritual land or above, and a port on the South China Sea, as for whether it is called "Alliance" or "Zongmen", in Su Liqing's opinion, this is just a matter of saying.

Qing Yuzong has not yet chosen to worship, he has proposed to Wan Yuting to accept the "Nine Old Men" in the heaven-level early stage monk Liu Tingjian as an offering, this, of course, although Wan Yuting is still hesitating, but has already proposed that if the cost of worship is paid by the "Jincheng League", he will most likely consider it carefully.

This is not difficult, you just need to find a way to set some expenses for the operation of the alliance, and you can go around from it, and even, in the name of renting the spiritual land of the Qingyu Sect, let several families share it.

The next thing is to convince these people, for Zuo Zician and Leng Tingtao, he only needs to clarify the benefits and disadvantages, and for Zheng Jiasheng, the head of Biyun Sect, he needs to lure them to take advantage, at first glance, the latter seems to be more difficult, but Su Liqing knows that it is not, he only needs to return the land occupied by Qingyu Sect to Biyun Sect in name, presumably he will be happy in his heart, if you add the temptation of the third-order spiritual land, he will most likely give in, but Zuo Zician and Leng Tingtao are more difficult, and they can do things to force the palace, which shows that these two people's trust in themselves is low enough, and if they want them to agree, they can only find a way to force them into a desperate situation。

It's time to act, those dark lines that have been prepared for a long time. He called Quan Shui Sheng and instructed him to take out all the means hidden under the water, presumably in a few days, they who were in a mess in the sect,

will take the initiative to come to themselves.

"Remember, let the people in those government-run chambers of commerce move, and threaten to put forward some harsh conditions with the loss of interests, now that the three trade routes are connected, it is impossible for them not to come to me, the alliance leader, to solve it together. If they don't respond to my movements, I don't mind helping them poke out those things inside and out. ”

Su Liqing smiled, the layout of many years is not something that can be easily resolved by "changing the sect into an alliance", and he believes that the two people who are in charge of the house for the first time will be caught off guard. As for Jiang Feng, who was worried about the hometown of Heishuimen, he had already found a clue on this map.

Jiang Feng is a clever guy.

It's a pity, I have already persuaded Wan Yuting one step first, there is a better business route, presumably he will not choose to cooperate with you, he immediately thought of Liang Pusheng's visit, and quickly linked these two things, of course, this needs to be further confirmed, he can't be without intelligence support, just by imagination, he believes that Liang Pusheng and Jiang Feng have a certain relationship, even if he is unwilling to agree to Liang Pusheng any conditions, but he also does not want to rashly push it to his opposite.

However, since Jiang Feng wants to cause trouble, then I will make a little mess for you first, as for concentrating on dealing with you, you are not qualified to do so at the moment, Su Liqing quickly clarified the severity of the matter, and it was Leng Tingtao and Zuo Ziciao, not outside the Jincheng League.

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

Huanglongmen, Shuanglong City.

The head of the sect, Zuo Zi Cicada, listened to the reports of several subordinates, and it is believed that a strange "mandrill ghost" was found outside the city, and this kind of ghost and evil spirit story that should have been circulated among the mundane people reached his ears, because of this "mandrill ghost", he killed a monk who was passing by with the intention of "subduing demons and defending the road", and this monk was the family of his ninth wife.

This matter cannot be left alone, because the Ninth Lady is Xinna.

It doesn't look like a "mandrill ghost", this kind of thing has not been found for many years, Zuo Zician looked at the scribbled and crude portrait, and said in his heart that this can't be true, not to mention, the "mandrill ghost" will not steal the monk's corpse.

"Anything else you've discovered?"

"The master, the mandrill ghost dug up the body, but did not take it away, just lingered for a while, and then left, Xu Gongzi saw that the road was uneven, so he fought with it, but unfortunately lost his life. ”

"Is it because of the intention of seeing wealth? Does the mandrill ghost have some magic weapons on it?"

"This ......"

"Where's the body?"

"It's been re-grounded. ”

"Take me to see it. As soon as Zuo Zicicada's voice fell, he was already wrapped in the person who reported and appeared outside the inner mansion of the head of the house, and then he was not in a hurry, but took off the sword, threw the spirit-level little guy on it, and motioned for him to point out the way, and after a while, he arrived at a barren mound outside the city.

The soil was indeed just buried, and Zuo Zician signaled his subordinates to dig up the floating soil that was still wet, and only then did he find that he knew the owner of the corpse in front of him.

"Find a few people, carefully hold the corpse, and send it to the Asagama Sect. Be sure to see Jiang Feng himself and explain the truth of the matter clearly. ”

"This ......" This guy obviously has no experience in doing this kind of thing.

"Forget it, you go to Liu Dongyun. ”

"Yes!" the spirit-level guy was relieved.

"Remember, repeat my words in their entirety, without mixing personal thoughts. Zuo Zician secretly said a waste, and gave an additional explanation, Liu Dongyun is the person who came over from Liu Kui's family, serving as a foreign deacon at this time, and he has also had a similar errand in the Jincheng faction before, so he must be able to do this well, as for how to say it, he thinks that it is enough to tell the truth, and the right banner of the scattered cultivation thunder is not killed by himself, Jiang Feng is not on his own head, and now he will return the corpse, it is reasonable, and it can be regarded as a slight easing of the relationship, he has learned the news that Jiang Feng was promoted to the prefecture level, although he has just entered the prefecture level, and he cannot be compared, but the so-called"Long-distance friendship and close attack", now the situation is different from the past, the Assayama Sect may be able to use foreign aid as an ally, but it should make a layout as soon as possible.

There are two key points in the whole thing: first, why this corpse appeared here, he remembered that this thing should be in Su Liqing's hands, but if he asked, Su Liqing would naturally not recognize it, and he immediately remembered that a few days ago, there was an official document from the court council treasury that was stolen from the alliance, although this body was not explicitly mentioned, but there was still a sentence "The rest is being counted" , presumably contains this thing, but, whether someone stole it or Su Liqing set up a fog, but there is no way to know, if it is the former, then who stole this thing, if it is the latter, why did Su Liqing do this, could it be that it is to attract this "mandrill ghost"?

He thought so, but suddenly felt a strange aura nearby, his spiritual power moved slightly, his figure suddenly flew up, and after a while, he was three or four miles away, but he saw a tall man in a gray robe, poking his head out of a small river, looking at its appearance, isn't it the rumored "mandrill ghost"?
