Chapter 103: Start with a stall
For everyone's surprise, Liu Sanniang just smiled slightly, and said to the tea-pouring Xiao Er at the counter: "Find the best fabric, make a Taoist robe for Chen Feng's steward, and embroider golden clover." ”
"Understood, I'll arrange it," Xiao Er put down the teapot in his hand and ran towards the back hall with close steps.
After explaining the matter of making Taoist robes, Liu Sanniang pointed to the second floor of the inn.
"Come with me, two. ”
Chen Chuan and Chen Feng glanced at each other, with questions in their hearts, and followed Liu Sanniang to a room on the second floor, which was a women's boudoir, with a woman's fragrance floating in it, which was very similar to the smell on Liu Sanniang's body.
Sitting on the chair in the room, Liu Sanniang said lightly: "You must be very curious, why do I want Chen Feng to become the manager of Juxingzhuang." ”
"Please also ask Sanniang to make it clear. Chen Chuan nodded.
"Because we're the same kind of people. The charm in Liu Sanniang's eyes suddenly disappeared, and the whole person became melancholy.
Seeing Liu Sanniang's sudden change in mood, Chen Chuan stood up with a frown, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by people of the same kind?"
Liu Sanniang sighed, looked at the dark night outside the window and said, "I also have relatives who went to the Sea Beast Battlefield and have not returned. ”
"What does this have to do with Chen Feng being the manager of Juxingzhuang?" Chen Chuan continued to ask.
"You want to find Xiao Langhua to inquire about the Sea Beast Battlefield, don't you just want to find your relatives? I want to find it too, so I want to help you, and helping you is helping myself. Liu Sanniang said as she spoke, her eyes blurred, and a tear slid down her cheek.
Looking at Liu Sanniang's tears, Chen Chuan sighed helplessly: "In this way, we are indeed the same kind of people. ”
Chen Feng handed his handkerchief to Liu Sanniang and asked, "Then you must know a lot about the Sea Beast Battlefield." ”
Liu Sanniang wiped her tears, shook her head and said: "I have never inquired about the Sea Beast Battlefield over the years, I don't dare to inquire, I am afraid of hearing the answer I don't want to hear, and you are the first person I have met to inquire about the Sea Beast Battlefield." ”
Chen Chuan took a deep breath, looked at Liu Sanniang and said, "Why am I not, sometimes I am also afraid to hear about the Sea Beast Battlefield, but I know that there are some things that must be faced, and avoiding it cannot solve the problem." ”
"Yes, I also want to face it, but what do I face it, I tried my best, and I have only cultivated to the seventh level of qi refining, even if I know my brother's whereabouts, what can I do?" Liu Sanniang slowly closed her eyes, the charming and powerful woman who had just been downstairs was so weak and helpless at the moment.
Chen Chuan's heart trembled, he found that compared with Liu Sanniang, he seemed to be too much happier, at least he had a family, and there was a family behind him to protect him. This woman endured everything alone, strong to survive in the midst of danger and chaos.
"Meeting is fate, today you help us to establish a foothold in Beishang City, and I will help you find your loved ones one day. Chen Chuan clasped his fists and said sincerely.
Liu Sanniang still closed her eyes, and after a long time, she spit out: "Will you go there?"
"What do you say?" Chen Chuan looked at the east in the dark night, his eyes were hot.
...... Sleepless nights
Early in the morning of the second day, the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
There weren't many guests, and Chen Chuan and Squint sat on a bench at the door.
Chen Chuan was wearing a white robe embroidered with a silver clover, which is the symbol of Juxingzhuang.
"Brother Qingchuan, you are now a silver clover in Juxingzhuang, and I hope to take more care of my little brother in the future. Squinting at the silver clover on Chen Chuan's robe, there was a deep envy in his eyes.
"It's easy to say, tell me about the situation in Beishang City, how did I find that most of the monks who come and go are monks with families. Chen Chuan pointed to the sidewalk on the street.
"Although Beishang City is now controlled by the three major scattered cultivation forces, it does not prevent each family from doing business in Fang City, as long as they pay a certain amount of spirit stones, they can do business very safely. ”
"Then the Zhang family and the Fu family, who originally controlled Beishang City, still have shops?"
"In the war of the seven major families, the Duan-Zhu alliance prevailed, and the latter five families had to retreat to the south, and there was no shadow of the Zhang family and the Fu family here for a long time. Squinting in one sentence, he said the current pattern of Xiliangzhou.
Chen Chuan frowned slightly, when he and Chen Feng came to Beishangcheng, they obviously saw that there were still people on the main peak of the Zhang family.
"When I passed by the Zhang family, I saw the Zhang family, they didn't retreat, right?"
"Those clansmen who stayed in the Zhang family were all diehards, reluctant to leave, and struggled to cling to the spiritual veins of the Zhang family. ”
After talking with Squinting Eyes, Chen Chuan had a thorough understanding of the situation in Beishangcheng and the pattern of Xiliangzhou.
At present, the war of the seven major families has a slight upper hand in the Duanzhu Alliance in the north, and the Zhang family, which is in the middle of Xiliangzhou, temporarily retreats south in order to preserve its strength.
Under such a situation, the central part of Xiliangzhou has become an unmanaged area, and the scattered cultivation organization took the opportunity to intervene, forming a new pattern of Xiliangzhou.
The north is controlled by the Duan family and the Zhu family, the south is controlled by the latter five families, and the central part is managed by the three major scattered cultivation organizations.
The sun rose in the east, Chen Chuan patted his squinting eyes on the shoulder and said, "I have some spirit cores, I don't know where to sell them?"
"Go to the market, put it on the stall and sell it. Squinting at the storage bag on Chen Chuan's waist, his small eyes showed a fine light.
"Then let's take a look. Chen Chuan stood up and walked towards Xiuzhenfang City.
Squinting his eyes and smiling, he followed Chen Chuan's pace closely, for fear that Chen Chuan would leave him behind.
Along the way, Chen Chuan continued to ask Squint about the situation in Beishang City until they saw Beishang Restaurant.
Located in the center of Beishang City, Bei Shang Cheng Restaurant stands on the busiest street in Bei Shang City, although this street is not as lively as it has been in the past few years, but the flow of people is quite enough.
"Beishang Restaurant is occupied by the Xiliang tribe, and Xiao Langhua, who came to find Sanniang last night, lives in Beishang Restaurant. Squinting his eyes and pointing to Bei Shangcheng, the reason why he said Xiao Langhua was because in the exchange with Chen Chuan, he found that Chen Chuan was very interested in Xiao Langhua.
Chen Chuan looked at the Beishang Restaurant, then looked at the street that was gradually becoming lively, touched the storage bag and said, "Choose a good location first, and then put the stall up." ”
"How's that going there? That's the biggest elixir trading shop in Beishang City. Squinting his eyes pointed to a huge circular building diagonally opposite the Beishang Restaurant.
Chen Chuan was very familiar with this round beast egg building, it was originally a elixir shop belonging to the Duan family, when he first came to Beishang City, he and Chen Feng walked around here for a long time.
Later, the Zhang family and the Fu family united, and after the Duan family was forced to leave Beishang City, this beast egg building became the Zhang family's elixir shop, Chen Chuan also saw Mingyue's brother Zhang Mingfu inside, and through Zhang Mingfu's inform, he learned that the Zhang family was going to kill the Chen family.
Walking towards the beast egg building, Chen Chuan asked, "Who does the beast egg building belong to now?"
"It belongs to Juxingzhuang, and with your identity as a silver clover, you can actually sell spirit cores directly in the beast egg building, where there are a lot of empty shelves. Squint replied.
"You don't have to go inside, I don't have many spirit cores, just set up a stall on the street. Chen Chuan took out a three-foot-long and wide linen cloth from the storage bag, and took out more than a dozen first-grade spirit cores.
