Li Ling chased after the man, and it took about a quarter of an hour to intercept the other party in a dense forest.

At this time, the man had already taken off his cloak and revealed his true face, a thin young man in his twenties.

He was rummaging through Lu Meng's corpse, and when he saw Li Ling chasing after him, he was quite surprised, and said, "I didn't expect that Your Excellency also coveted the treasure of this demon clan, Your Excellency was so patient that he didn't make a move." ”

"Each other, each other. Li Ling stared at the other party's every move, not wanting to give the other party a chance to use the divine sword talisman, and said lightly: "Since I dare to catch up, then I have absolute certainty to deal with you, if you know each other, leave now, I am not a person who loves to kill, I can let you go." ”

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" The coldness on the young man's face became even stronger, and he clenched the Excalibur talisman in his hand tightly.

Li Ling: "Since I said that I let you go, I naturally have my reasons, I am wearing a mask now, you don't know my true face, this is the reason why I let you go." ”

When chasing this person just now, Li Ling had already put on the mask that Su Rui gave him, but he didn't want to show his true face.

The young man was quite hesitant, and he was really a little unwilling to give up because of the meat in his mouth, but he was just a casual cultivator who had not yet reached the realm of foundation building, and he couldn't see Li Ling's strength clearly, so he really didn't dare to make a move.

"You can take a gamble. Li Ling's tone was indifferent, "Let's see if I can kill you before you send out the Excalibur Talisman, but I advise you not to make this uncertain bet." ”

The young man hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll give up, I hope you don't break your promise." ”

He stood up and slowly retreated more than ten meters, turned around and ran away.

Li Ling didn't chase after him, waited for the young man to disappear, came to Na Lu Meng's body, searched for it, and found a mustard seed bag. If there was nothing else outside, he didn't have time to check, for fear that someone would come, so he put the mustard seed bag in his arms and left quickly.

He didn't go back the same way, for fear of encountering the Xuanming Pavilion and the Liuxian Sect, as well as the demon cultivators, but went around in a big circle and returned to the capital of the Qin State, and the sky was already bright at this time.

Back at the General's Mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly welcomed him into the door, saying that there were a few monks invited by Zhou Bin to help in the mansion, and asked Li Ling to meet him.

In the living room, Bai Qi and Meng Yi and Zhou Bin and Meng Yuan were all there, as if there were two middle-aged men and two young people, a man and a woman.

Several of them were dressed in the robes that monks often wear, and they looked like they were from the same sect.

Seeing Li Linglai, Zhou Bin was busy introducing him.

These people were all monks in Zhou Bin's previous sect, Hongdong Sect.

The two middle-aged men and Zhou Bin were originally brothers, and they joined Hongdongmen at the same time, but later Zhou Bin suffered serious internal injuries and had no cultivation value, so he had no choice but to leave the sect, and the two of them had not seen each other for more than 20 years.

The thinner middle-aged man's name is Zhu Hong, and the fatter one is called Yan Li, both of whom have the strength of the middle stage of foundation building, and with such strength, he is an outer deacon in Hongdongmen.

This Hongdongmen is also considered a medium-level or above sect in the Qin Kingdom, and it is not comparable to a small sect like the Liuxian Sect.

And those two young men and women are the inner disciples of Hongdongmen, they are both talented and have good talents, and they have followed Zhu Hong and Yan Li to practice.

"Did you find out that the general's daughter was planted with a yin fetus?" Zhu Hong stared at Li Ling and asked, "May I ask which sect Your Excellency is?" ”

Li Ling: "Zai Xia is just a martial artist, I studied martial arts with my master for a few days when I was a child, and the reason why I found out that Miss Meng was planted with a yin fetus is just because someone in my hometown has been used with such evil arts, and the symptoms are exactly the same as Miss Meng's." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Hearing that Li Ling was just a martial artist and had no sect, Zhu Hong and Yan Li both showed a little contempt, but they didn't say anything more, Zhu Hong said to Meng Yi: "General, please rest assured, since we have intervened in this matter, we will definitely help to the end, and give Miss Meng the exception of this hidden danger." ”

He said and glanced at Yan Li next to him, Yan Li understood, and said with a smile: "We also talked to Senior Brother Zhou before, this favor is not for nothing. ”

The world is bustling, all for profit, Yan Li said this, and several people were not surprised, but they didn't know what price this Hongdongmen would want.

Meng Yi said: "Of course I won't let the immortal master help in vain, as for the reward, the immortal master will mention it." ”

"The general is refreshing. Yan Li said with a smile: "Generally, to solve such a thing, we will charge 200,000 hardship fees, but for the sake of Senior Brother Zhou's face, we will only charge 180,000!"

"180,000?" Meng Yi was embarrassed, although he was a general for half his life, but he has always been honest, unlike other officials who accept bribes or scrape people's wealth, the day before yesterday took out 20,000 silver and asked Li Ling to buy magic weapons, it is already the old capital, and it is difficult to take out another 10,000 at this time, let alone 180,000.

Meng Yuan frowned, as if she wanted to say something.

Bai Qi saw that Meng Yi was in trouble, and immediately said: "Two immortal masters, I'll pay for this money! But I don't have so much silver on me now, and I will definitely have enough to send it when I go back." ”

Bai Qi came to the capital this time, and the development of paper and liquor business was very smooth, and he received a lot of deposits, although he couldn't take out so much, but he still had sixty or seventy thousand, and the rest was a big deal to send back later.

Meng Yi is not a pedantic person, so he nodded immediately.

"You are Bai Qi of the Bai family?" Yan Li asked as he looked at Bai Qi.

"I heard that the Bai family's paper and brewing business has been booming recently, so it's no wonder that they can come up with so much money at one time. ”

Zhu Hong nodded, rolled his eyes, exchanged glances with Yan Li, and said, "Actually, in addition to coming down the mountain to help General Meng this time, there is another matter, which is about cooperating with your Bai family. ”

Bai Qi, Meng Yi and the others were overjoyed, but Zhu Hong's next words made several people's faces change.

Zhu Hongdao: "Senior Brother Yan and I were ordered by the master to inform the Bai family this time, and in the future, we will extract thirty percent of the profits from your Bai family's brewing business, and I, Hongdongmen, am responsible for guarding the safety of your Bai family. ”

Yan Li also smiled and said: "Yes, the Bai family's business can be as smooth as today, not thanks to General Meng who has taken care of you in all aspects, but when your business is bigger, those Xiuzhen sects that covet the Bai family will not be solved by the General's Mansion, and this matter will be handed over to us Hongdongmen in the future." ”

Zhu Hong smiled again: "In the future, everyone will cooperate in many things, they are all their own people, and they are not polite, as for Miss Meng, my brother should help for free." ”

"What, the Bai family won't be reluctant to make this thirty percent profit, right?" Seeing that Bai Qi didn't answer, Yan Li smiled and said.

Meng Yi sank his face, Zhou Bin also felt embarrassed, he stopped talking, and Bai Qi frowned, very hesitant.

It's not that he didn't agree, but that this Zhu Hong really had a lion open his mouth, and thirty percent of the profit was also due to what he wanted.

Baijia Liquor removes the cost of raw materials, labor, freight and other costs, a total of 50% of the profit, if you remove all aspects of the dots, it is not for nothing, all for him to work in Hongdongmen.

Last time, there was Hongxuanmen, Fengqimen, and this time there was Hongdongmen, it seems that once this business is bigger, people will want to come and get a piece of the pie.

In fact, this situation is too common in the world, and the cultivation realm has long agreed that it is not allowed to intervene in the wars between countries in the secular world, but it cannot interfere in secular business.

Those big merchants, or big merchants, have more or less the shadow of some sects behind the money bank.

In particular, some monopoly industries are firmly controlled by those big sects.

After all, in this world, divine power is absolutely above imperial power. The monk's sense of superiority in front of mortals is overwhelming, otherwise a deacon of the outer gate of Hongdongmen would be so rude in front of the great generals of a country.

At this time, Meng Yuan suddenly said: "I'm sorry, we can't afford to invite you, please go back, we will think of another way." ”

"What?" Zhu Hong's smile was a little colder, "I, Hongdongmen, am also a famous sect, how can you be allowed to come and go as soon as you are called, and the general's mansion doesn't take the two of us seriously!"

Zhou Bin hurriedly said at this time: "It's not that the General's Mansion looks down on the two junior brothers, it's just that the General's Mansion is a little tight, and it really can't come up with so much silver." ”

Yan Li: "We said that we don't want the general's remuneration, just let the Bai family take out some profits to give us Hongdongmen, this is a mutually beneficial thing, not too much." ”

"Isn't this difficult for a strong man?" Zhou Bin sighed: "Let's go, I will naturally make amends to the two of you in the future, this matter has nothing to do with the Bai family, you don't have to be so forced." ”

"Zhou Bin. Yan Li said suddenly: "Please pay attention to your words, you invited us here, and you want to send us away with a word? ”。

"Then how are you going to be sent and told to get out?"

Li Ling stared at the teacup in his hand and said without raising his head.
