At the end of the game, everyone was happy, there was no unpleasantness, mainly because both sides of the competition were a little unhappy, one is that the two of them did their best to reshuffle the top ten in this battle to make the top ten of the immortal list reshuffle, and in the future, when they arrived in the world of cultivating immortals, the two sides had a certain status in their respective sects.

But before the competition started, Zhao Ziya and Fang Jue stole the limelight, which was really unbearable. At this point, both of them were not in a good mood, so the competition was hasty.

Zhao Shuo also didn't have the mood to watch the competition, so he left the scene hastily halfway and went to deal with important matters.

At this time, the members of the recruitment committee of the Thousand Daomen, Qiao Immortal Master in Zhao Shuo's mouth, led the two Thousand Daomen monks behind him to walk over slowly and saluted.

Zhao Ziya glanced at Immortal Master Qiao with a calm face, and also returned a salute.

Qiao Xianshi said: "Welcome to the county lord to enter the Qiandao Gate, the small path is called Qiao Enlin, who is currently walking in the secular world and is responsible for the affairs of the Qiandao Gate. ”

Qiao Enlin's self-introduction was humble and polite, and Zhao Ziya replied: "Qiao Immortal Master has worked hard. ”

"Hmm. Princess. This is an entry order. The first introductory examination and introductory ceremony of the year will be held on the 5th of next month. The county presiding officer has this token, and someone will arrange it when he reports to Qiandaomen. Jon Lin said.

Zhao Ziya bent down and saluted, and the result token, this token is made of green jade, which is cold, warm and smooth, and the weight is a little heavy.

Qiao Enlin saluted the other party again: "The realm of Daoyou is extraordinary, Xiaodao is fortunate to know, I don't know what school the teacher inherits?"

Fang Jue refused to salute in such a crepe in his heart, but he still had to return the salute on his face, and replied: "The small path is a loose cultivation, and the name is not enough to worry about." ”

Seeing that Fang had no intention of avoiding the teacher, Qiao Enlin didn't ask any more questions, and saluted again: "Then I won't disturb a few." Leave. ”

With that, the three of them turned their heads and left the gladiatorial arena.

Huang Yingjie stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister for joining the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and the glory of the ancestors is just around the corner." ”

Fang Jue also smiled evilly: "That's right, that's right, the glory of the ancestors, just around the corner." ”

Zhao Ziya bit her lip and blushed: "It's all your fault, today I made a foreign appearance in front of my father and so many people." ”

After speaking, he left directly, leaving Huang Yingjie and Fang Jue looking at each other. I don't know what kind of wind this usually heroic Zhao Dajun Lord smoked.

There was another banquet in the evening, Fang Jue could only sigh, this prince and nobleman seemed to have a banquet every day, and the first time was less than half a month, the theme was to welcome the princess of Haicang Kingdom and celebrate Zhao Xiande being accepted as a disciple by Situ.

Zhao Xiande will be admitted to Xuantian Sect without accident.

Fang Jue was arranged on Zhao Shuo's side and became Zhao Shuo's guest.

The party who was invited to the banquet naturally came from afar, the head of the golden family who was well-known in Zhao State, Wen Shanpeng. It was an hour before the banquet began, and it was late.

The appearance of this person surprised Fang Jue, Wen Junbo is tall, strong, and extraordinary, and is famous for his golden battle axe. And his father was a Zuru. This couldn't help but make Fang desperately speculate about Wen Junbo's biological father.

Wen Shanpeng has a big beard, a triangular hat, and a golden cane in his hand. Walking and swaying, it is impossible to tell that he is a big businessman and a big mine owner on the rich side.

After Wen Shanpeng sat down, he exchanged a few words with Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Shuo began to introduce: "Master Wen, we should meet for the first time in twenty years." Haha, come, let me introduce you, this is the princess of the sea cangguo. This time, the cooperation of the abyssal veins of the South China Sea is indispensable for the support of the Haicang royal family. ”

Huang Yingjie didn't salute, after all, according to mainland diplomatic etiquette, there is no need for a princess of a country to salute a businessman. She smiled slightly and said, "The name of Shopkeeper Wen is like thunder, and the Golden Family has been selling gold in Haicang Country this year. Earn foreign exchange for Zhao's exports. However, thanks to the shopkeeper Wen for selling gold and stabilizing my country's currency market. ”

Shopkeeper Wen saluted and said, "The princess smiled." In the past two years, my business contacts with Haicang Kingdom have become increasingly close, but I have not had the opportunity to meet the princess of Haicang Kingdom, it turns out that she is so beautiful as a fairy, and the princess must be responsible for the appearance of your country!"

"Hahaha. Huang Yingjie laughed awkwardly, "Shopkeeper Wen is humorous. ”

Zhao Shuo also smiled: "The golden family is in charge of the shopkeeper, and the people are prosperous, and they are meritorious to the country." Haha, I'm going to introduce another strange person. Fang Jue, the guest of my little girl, the great master of the Qi refining period, the great immortal master. ”

Fang Jue was tasting the wine by himself, and he didn't have the leisure to see these people pretend to be you and me, but when he heard Zhao Shuo's introduction, he almost didn't squirt out the wine.

With an embarrassed laugh, Fang Jue got up and clenched his fists: "Shopkeeper Wen is disrespectful." Tonight, Xiaodao will eat and drink to help the fun, so I won't bother a few people to discuss business, and you don't have to pay attention to me. When I don't exist, it's okay. ”

Zhao Shuo said: "The immortal master is indifferent, fame and fortune are all outside the dust, so that this king really admires, then the immortal master please take care of himself." ”

Fang Jue instantly felt that Zhao Shuo's ability to pat on the back was definitely above himself!

"So very good, so very good. ”

Zhao Shuo said: "The shopkeeper Wen came from afar, he was in the dust, he sang and danced today, enjoyed good wine and food, and let's talk about business tomorrow." ”

Wen Shanpeng smiled. Wen Junbo spoke: "Lord Wang, the little one has the courage to ask the Lord for something." ”

Before saying this, Wen Junbo and Wen Shanpeng glanced at each other, as if they had asked their father for permission.

Zhao Shuo said: "Oh, why did the virtuous nephew say this?"

Wen Junbo got up and walked to the front, kowtowed, and said: "Lord, since the last time I fought with the county lord, I have been thinking about the county lord in my heart, and now I and the county lord have been selected by the immortal family, and the junior has the courage to ask the prince, hoping to marry the big county lord as a double partner and marry Qin and Zhao forever (Note: Qin and Zhao are allies). ”

Zhao Shuo's eyes narrowed: "The Golden Family is really bold. ”

Wen Shanpeng and Wen Junbo's faces changed greatly, Wen Shanpeng hurriedly came to the center of the hall in a panic, knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord, the dog is reckless, please forgive the prince!"

Zhao Shuo laughed: "Shopkeeper Wen, don't panic, the little doll now is very wolfish and courageous, even my little daughter can look at it." However, my youngest daughter is indeed a phoenix among people, with a logo and a good figure. However, I don't have much opinion on the marriage of my children, and I pay attention to the freedom of marriage. ”

When Wen Shanpeng and Wen Junbo, father and son, heard this, their faces turned to joy, and they forgot to glance at each other, but they were puzzled, it stands to reason that Zhao Shuo, who is known for his strength and toughness in Zhao State, has no reason to cheapen the Wen family for no reason.

Zhao Shuo said again: "I love my little daughter very much." First, you have to see if my daughter agrees, and second, there are rules for this marriage......"

As he spoke, he actually had a wicked smile on his face. Fang Jue understood something in an instant, and scolded angrily in his heart: What a complete slave owner's face!

Wen Junbo hugged his fists and said: "Lord, at the junction of the southern part of Zhao State and Haicang Kingdom, there is a Zhencang Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles from east to west, and there is a gold vein that stretches for hundreds of miles in the mountain range, which is currently under development. I have asked my father that this vein of gold will be used as a dowry for my pursuit of the county lord of Zhao Ziya. Don't dislike it!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. There have been many discussions, in order to get in touch with Prince Gong's Mansion, this golden family can be regarded as a bloody investment. Even you Fang Jue can't stand it anymore, and he slanders in his heart: Money can make grinding ghosts!

Zhao Ziya didn't say anything, but her face was extremely gloomy, Fang Jue looked at Zhao Ziya with faint worry on the side, no wonder, Prince Gong's Mansion has always been Zhao Shuo alone, even if Zhao Ziya has the temper of the eldest lady, she can't help but not speak out on this occasion.

Princes and nobles, marriage is never a personal choice, but is related to politics, Zhao Shuo is responsible for the rise and fall of a big family, and is bound to consider more interests than feelings.

Zhao Shuo seems to have realized that the Wen family's trip was not simply to cooperate, but to take this opportunity to directly establish a relationship with him Gongwangfu and seek political asylum.

Fang Jue didn't quite understand. He quietly stood beside Huang Yingjie and asked quietly, "There is something unclear, please ask for advice." ”

Huang Yingjie turned her head to look at Fang Jue and said, "Please speak." ”

"How much is a gold vein hundreds of miles long worth? ”

Fang Jue knew that Huang Yingjie was a princess of a country, and she must have a deep understanding of some political issues.

Huang Yingjie smiled and whispered: "On the contrary, this deal is definitely the most cost-effective. It's just that I don't think about it well, and he is also in contradiction at this time. ”

"How?"

"The Golden Family has only been called by the outside world in recent decades because of its gold business. If you don't understand a country's economy, you don't understand its contents. The current monetary system prevailing on the mainland is the gold standard system, but in the Qin State or the Haicang State, the gold veins and purple gold veins have always been controlled by the state as the source of national reserve currency. Even if these veins are in private territory, once they are explored, they must be reported to the state, confiscated, and the state will compensate them in other forms, which is equivalent to a disguised acquisition. The state also does this to stabilize prices and the monetary system. ”

"It's a bit complicated. "Fang Jue's head is hot, he is well-read, all of them are things in the immortal cultivation world, the politics and economy of the human world, he is still a layman.

"The economy of Zhao is a bit different, and Zhao advocates the sanctity of people's personal property. Therefore, the gold family sits on countless mines, and the state has no way to take him according to the country's constitution. The Zhao dynasty was divided fifty years ago, and in order to seize control of the country, the Zhao dynasty compromised with the consortium and gained power, and the chaebol supported the Zhao dynasty to become the ruler. Now the chaebol is declining, and it is no longer the same as a few decades ago. Naturally, the royal family had to do everything they could to get their hands on more resources. ”

Huang Yingjie pondered for a while and continued, "As the largest supplier of gold and silver deposits in the mainland, the gold family naturally has its eyes on it, it seems that the Wen family's trip is not really to discuss business, marriage is the primary purpose of this trip. ”

"Makes sense. Fang Jue exclaimed.

"Why, aren't you worried about her?" Huang Yingjie asked tentatively, she was very intelligent, and naturally understood that Fang Jue and Zhao Ziya had an unusual relationship.

Fang Jue pursed his lips, he couldn't deny it in his heart, after all, this had nothing to do with him, and Zhao Ziya's marriage and marriage, even if it was a private lifelong agreement between Zhao Ziya and someone or a political arrangement, he didn't have any right to make irresponsible remarks, or even be able to do something.

As for worry, there must be that, after all, he regards Zhao Ziya as a friend. Moreover, Zhao Ziya has always regarded Wen Junbo as an opponent, and furthermore, Wen Junbo and Zhao Ziya have no emotional foundation, except for the battle on the immortal promotion list, there is almost no intersection.

Fang Jue's mood was quite complicated at this time.
