There was another silence, the originally majestic shopkeeper softened, the whole person became very decadent, his eyes were blank, although he had a hunch, but the master Fang Qiang was extremely cautious, and his strength was much stronger, and the person became confident.

There are unforeseen circumstances, and this day has finally come.

Really face: Loyal to the master or alive, become a difficult choice for him.

Facing Zou Li, he can't feel the strength of the other party, but he must not be weak if he can make his master move. And by no means a soft-hearted person, in the end the desire of birth prevails.

The big shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "My name is Fang Cheng, and I was forced to sell myself more than 20 years ago because of my family's poverty. It was Fang Qiang who bought me in the human market, took care of Fang Qiang's eldest son and his own life, and taught me to practice martial arts. More than ten years ago, Fang Qiang purchased the shop and handed it over to me to operate. In addition to selling some black goods, it also distributes some goods from other merchants. Our market is the front store and the back wharf, and the black goods obtained are all from the waterway, which is very convenient. ”

"According to you, the counter shopkeeper and the guy in this store don't know what Fang Qiang does? Also, how can this shopkeeper have a qi practitioner, who is Fang Qiang?" Zou Li looked at Fang Cheng suspiciously.

"There are a lot of spiritual objects in Haizhou, and ordinary martial cultivators can't judge it, so they need to have a qi practitioner. If the cultivation is too high, it is impossible to afford it, so it is common to invite a monk below the third floor of Qi training to come to the store as a shopkeeper. This monk has nothing to do with Fang Qiang, I invited him. They don't know the details of the store!" Fang Cheng said in a low voice

Zou Li pondered for a while: "Is it convenient to transfer this shop?"

Fang Cheng looked up at Zou Li in surprise: "The transfer of the store is convenient, as long as you pay a little money to the county government!"

"Let's go, take me to see the shop!" Zou Li's tone was irresistible.

The shop is very deep, and behind it is a small garden, behind which is a three-storey house with a pier behind it.

Back in the conference hall, Zou Li opened the door and entered the mountain: "I want this shop, the name of the store is Tiangonglou." Give you two choices: one is to serve my family, still be your big treasurer, and I will help you advance to the congenital stage within three years. The second is to choose to leave. Tell me when you've decided, I'll come back tomorrow. With that, he turned and walked out.

Fang Cheng finally decided to serve the Zou Li family and changed his name to Zou Cheng.

Zou Li smiled slightly: "You won't regret today's decision!"

He also pointed out that Zou Yong was the second shopkeeper, and the two negotiated in case of trouble.

Zou Li felt that it was inconvenient for the store to live, so he bought another house at a high price. This house is backed by the Haihe River, not far from the store, the place is larger, and it used to be a merchant's courtyard.

In a few days, they got a shop and a set of courtyards, which made Zou Ying and Yu'er so shocked that they didn't know where to put them.

In fact, after destroying Fang Qiang, he learned that he still had a shop, so he thought about it.

From Fang Qiang's mouth, I learned that there was no shortage of low-level pills in Wu Guo's Qi training, as long as there was money, they could buy it. The Zou family is now short of mid- and low-grade pills, and this is an opportunity that cannot be missed. The Zou family is not short of people now, what is lacking is strength. As long as you can quickly cultivate more than a dozen middle and low-level qi practitioners, you will also be a strong party in the Chu State.

What's more, Fang Qiang also has another place that also makes Zou Li's eyes red.

At this time, Zou Li stood on a messy stone in the back garden of Zou Beppu that had just been hung with "Zou Family Farewell Village", looking at the rushing and tumbling Haihe River under his feet and meeting the Changhe River not far in front, forming an obvious line, squeezing and colliding with each other and flowing to the sea.

"How far is it from here to King Wu?"

"Hui Gongzi! It may take about twenty days to travel up the Haihe River by boat, and about five days if you ride a horse!" Zou Cheng replied cautiously.

"What about going to Fang Qiang's hometown?" Zou Li was silent for a while and suddenly asked.

Zou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and replied cautiously: "Fang Qiang's hometown is separated from Chongming County by a river, and there are two roads from here. The first is the coastal boat, about 120 miles away. The other road is to go retrograde along the Changhe River for about ten miles, turn right into the Jiading River, go forty miles into the sea and then go ten miles along the coast to enter the artificial river of Jiading County to Jiading County, the journey is about more than 80 miles. However, the bed of the Jiading River is narrow and has many curves, so it can only pass small building boats!"

"Where did you take care of your son for him before?" Zou Li said nonchalantly.

Zou Cheng glanced at Zou Li and was more careful: "Not far from the exit of the Jiading River, there is a valley, about thirty miles away from the county seat of Jiading County. There are only a few thatched huts there, and usually Fang Qiang and his eldest son practice on the mountain, saying that the mountain is quiet and rarely comes down. Lived there for a few years and came here. It was too close to the mouth of the sea, and every time the kraken did evil and gave birth to evil waves, the sea poured in, and the valley formed a swamp. ”

"Oh, you can take me tomorrow to see it, I'm interested in that place. ”

Zou Cheng hesitated for a moment: "If you use a small boat to go to the Jiading River, you will arrive in half a day." It's just, it's just a barren grass, a wetland, there's nothing to see. ”

"Let's go and have a look first! you go and prepare!" Zou Li's voice was flat.

The next morning, Zou Li and Zou Cheng took a boat and entered the Jiading River.

There are many cliffs along the way, and some places are not more than five zhang wide, and they are steep and bend.

Zou Li secretly paid attention to Fang Qiang's cave mansion, there were several places that were a little similar, and it seemed that he had to find it slowly.

The boat came to the valley that Zou Cheng said, and the Jiading River was already very wide here. The valley is not large, about three miles long, and varies in width and narrowness. There was a mountain in the middle of the river, and there was a gap in the middle, and the valley was covered with grass, and half of it was water.

Zou Cheng pointed and said, "Ten miles from here is the sea, and the river water is salty, so we lived there at that time." Then he pointed to a mountain.

He said: "Over this ridge, walk dozens of miles to Jiading County." ”

Zou Li looked at Zou Cheng: "If you buy this place and build a village, how much do you say it will cost?"

He pointed to the mountains and valleys.

When Zou Cheng heard this, his eyes widened, and after a while: "Childe, if you want to buy land, there are many outside Chongming City, what is the use of a place where birds don't lay eggs?"

Zou Li smiled slightly: "Didn't you say that Fang Qiang said that the mountains here are high and quiet and easy to cultivate? I think so too." In the future, buy some people to come, build another village, and build a larger wharf. When these people have cultivated to a high level, they will go to sea to kill the demon beasts and collect the demon pills. In a few decades, maybe you will be able to go to the open sea. The dock there is still a little smaller!"

Zou Cheng's face was full of surprise: "Childe really plans to do this? This is a lot of money!"

Zou Li nodded slightly: "You don't need a one-time investment, you can accumulate it slowly." First build a village and a wharf, pick a young man and woman with few qualifications at that time, buy about 50 people, and slowly cultivate. This is the matter that is settled, you can do it in the next few days! Leave me alone, I will stay here for a while. ”

After Zou Cheng left, Zou Li searched all the way along the cliff according to Fang Qiang's description, and it took three hours to finally find the cliff that Fang Qiang said. There is a boulder not far from the cliff, and this boulder is the gateway for Fang Qiang to enter and exit. Now there is a formation to cover it, and ordinary people can't see any difference at all.

The reason why Fang Qiang did not build a manor here was mainly because he had offended many local families, and he was worried that once the incident was violent, he would inevitably be hunted down. It is intended to be used as a cave to hide. It is only two miles away from the valley, and there is a small depression of nearly 100 acres on the side of the cliff. The best thing is that there is a flying spring hanging down on the side of the small mountain depression, which divides the small mountain depression in two and flows down the valley to the outside of the mountain.

Put away the formation and seal the boulder with a spell. A cave was built on the side of the small hill, and six stone chambers and one stone hall were added. From one of the stone chambers, a tunnel was dug to lead to the cave below. In order to save people's eyes and ears, Zou Li still built a few thatched huts in front of the cave.
