Chapter 159: Background

Over the next few days.

Because the second caravan under Lu Lin was ambushed a few days ago, those entourages were wounded and died, so that they could no longer travel outside the merchant in a short period of time.

Therefore, the head of the family, Lu Dingtian, simply arranged for Lu Lin to temporarily serve as Ye Tianyun's entourage to solve some problems encountered in life for Ye Tianyun, who had just arrived in the Central Plains.

Ye Qianyun had just woken up that day, and not long after he walked out of the room, Lu Lin came over with a smile and said, "Ye Shaoxia, are you going to go out?"

Ye Tianyun snorted and said, "Anyway, it's okay to be idle, I'm just going to go to the 'Fish Dragon City' you mentioned before to have a look, and by the way, see if I can meet any good things." ”

Lu Lin said with a smile: "Ye Shaoxia came to Ning'an City for the first time, and he is not very familiar with the city, and the head of the family has already specially instructed me to serve you in the past few days."

Why don't you let me go with you to this fish and dragon city, or give you guidance along the way, so that you can familiarize yourself with the things in this city?"

Ye Tianyun did not refuse this, he said: "This dare is good. ”

Lu Lin immediately waved his hand and said, "Ye Shaoxia, please." ”

Yulong City is about five miles away from Lufu, and it took a carriage to get there, and Ye Tianyun and the others took about a cup of tea to get there.

Get off the carriage, you can see a few zhang high archway standing not far in front of it, the top of the archway, the three big characters of "fish and dragon city" are particularly conspicuous.

Before entering the Fish Dragon City, Ye Tianyun already felt that the liveliness of people coming and going here was much higher than that of other places in the city.

Moreover, most of the people who come in and out of Yulong City are people who are armed with knives and swords.

Judging from the aura revealed by these people alone, Ye Tianyun had already judged that most of them undoubtedly had the strength of martial artists.

Moreover, by chance, Ye Tianyun would also encounter some martial artists whose strength he could not judge, which also showed that the cultivation of these martial artists had reached the innate realm, or even a higher realm.

According to Lu Lin's introduction, it turns out that there are several shop industries belonging to the Lu family in this 'Yulong City'.

These shops are mainly engaged in the sale of finished pills and the wholesale of some medicinal materials for refining pills, because these medicinal items belong to the most important type of cultivation resources, so the business of the Lu family's shops is basically very hot every day.

However, Ye Tianyun couldn't help but have a trace of doubts about this, and he asked Lu Lin: "Since this Fish and Dragon City is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are so many martial artists, I think there should be no less conflicts of interest here, right?"

Although your Lu family is one of the three major families in Ning'an City, if your industry wants to gain a firm foothold in this Fish Dragon City, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?

Could it be that just by virtue of the name of the 'Lu family' placed here, will the other people really be obedient and never trouble you?"

Lu Lin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Of course this is impossible.

Although our Lu family has a lot of noodles in this city, the name of this thing can't be eaten as a meal.

The reason why our Lu family dares to get involved in business in Yulong City is naturally because we have considerable strength as capital. ”

Ye Tianyun raised his eyebrows, even more puzzled.

As far as he knew, in addition to being good at business, the Lu family did not have too much outstanding place in martial arts.

Even if there are a lot of martial artists in the Lu Mansion, there are no masters who are too strong among those martial artists, if these people are used as the guards of the Lu Mansion, it may be okay, but if they are allowed to be in this 'Fish and Dragon City', it is obviously not enough.

Although this fish and dragon market is mixed, at the same time, it also contains huge interests and business opportunities. If you don't have a strong enough wrist to get in here, it's obviously hard to bite this piece of bread into your stomach.

Lu Lin knew that Ye Qianyun was deeply treated by his own family master, and he could be regarded as their own person in the Lu Mansion, so he didn't hide anything from Ye Tianyun, he said: "It's not a secret, in fact, the reason why our Lu Mansion can eat well in this city is because there have always been some strong forces behind them. ”

"Forces, what forces?" Ye Tianyun asked.

Lu Lin said: "To be precise, it's not just our Lu family.

In addition to us, the other two major families in Ning'an City, the 'Bai Family' and the 'Qian Family', also have some powerful forces behind them to act as their backing.

For example, behind the Bai family, supporting them is one of the seven major sword sects in the Central Plains, the 'Lanyun Gate' located in Xiaoxiang City.

What the Bai family did was mainly selling weapons and the like. Almost every year, they would supply Lanyunmen with a lot of weapons and props for free, as well as some rare precious materials for forging weapons.

Moreover, they will also hand over 30% of the profits of the Bai family's industry to Lanyunmen as an example of money every year, so as to obtain Lanyunmen's support behind them.

The 'Qian family', which specializes in jewelry trading, relies on the 'Tianchi faction', one of the seven major sword schools in the Central Plains, located in Yubei City.

Although there is no market for the jewelry trading done by their Qian family in terms of martial arts, they eat very well in the circles of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and almost all of them are some profiteering and high-profit businesses.

In order for their foundation to take root in the Central Plains, the Qian family opened an extremely lucrative condition to find a strong martial arts force to cover them.

It is said that the Qian family's contribution to this is even bigger than that of the Bai family, and in order to get the support of powerful forces, they do not hesitate to offer half of the profits of the Qian family's industry every year.

Therefore, they gradually gained the support of the Tianchi faction later. ”

After Lu Lin introduced the backgrounds of the first two families one by one, he finally introduced his family, and he said: "As for the forces that secretly support us behind our Lu family, they also belong to one of the seven great sword sects, that is, the 'Kunlun faction' located in Qingyun City.

The reason why the Kunlun faction will support us is because the head of the Kunlun faction has a very deep friendship with our family master. As for why the head of the family made friends with the head of the Kunlun faction, then I don't know.

But even so, our Lu family did not rely on each other just by relying on the friendship between the two.

Every year, we will also send them a lot of pill resources to maintain the ...... of the cooperative relationship between us and the Kunlun faction."
