The morning dew was so cool that it felt like it was going deep into the bones, and there was still a residual body temperature on the big stone, probably because of the fire, and the side that touched the big stone did not feel cold.

With a sigh, Xuanyuan Ziyi was woken up by Wu Qiutian's movements, and when she opened her eyes and saw Wu Qiutian's bright smiling face, she suddenly felt a comfortable mood.

After lingering for a while, Xuanyuan purple clothes washed with condensation, and after finishing, she hugged Wu Qiutian's neck and said, "Husband, go back! ”

Wu Qiu Tian said: "Don't worry, they won't be in a hurry, I have already arranged things, so I don't need to take care of many things." ”

Going down the mountain, there are already people waiting, and listening to Yu Canghai say, it has not been a day and a half since this person came.

Who is it, Yu Canghai and the others refused to say, Wu Qiutian had to let Xuanyuan Ziyi wait first, and he personally went to the living room to see who it was.

The person who came, he had seen it, and he had a relationship with him in Nanchu, and this person also thought about recruiting himself. This person is none other than the Southern Chu Emperor Milong.

"It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor was coming, and Wu Qiutian was disappointed, so please forgive Your Majesty. "Witch hatred is a polite word from heaven.

Mi Long was drinking water, and when he heard Wu Qiutian speak, he almost squirted out a mouthful of water: "No, the sun is coming out in the west? yb}{du}.} Wait to become so polite. ”

Wu Qiutian said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't laugh, you and I are not familiar with it to that point." What can be said, as long as Wu Qiutian and Potian can do it, His Majesty can afford it, and there is nothing that Potian dare not do. ”

"Okay, rejoice! I really have something to trouble you, since you and I put on the face of a businessman, talking business, I won't hide it. The cold iron of the Extreme North is the main source of forging weapons for my Great Chu, and because of the matter of Confucianism, the Divine Emperor Valley has tightly controlled several major passages in the Far North. This kind of thing is not good for the Great Chu to do, so you need to take people to the extreme north to purchase cold iron and transport it to the Chu State safely. Mi Long said bluntly.

Between the words, there are quite a few complaints about Wu Qiutian's Zhirutang pulling him into the water.

Wu Qiutian pondered for a while and said, "What price can you afford?" ”

"It depends on what price you need. It has always been the seller who asks for the price, and the buyer sits on the ground to pay the money. "Mi Long doesn't look like an emperor at all, but like a merchant who has to pay a lot of money.

Wu Qiu Tiandao: "Spirit stones, all I need is spirit stones, how much cold iron you want to purchase, I want as many spirit stones." ”

Mi Long squinted his eyes and said, "Then you are really a lion's mouth, there are no less than 100 spirit stone veins in the Chu Kingdom, but the output is not very much, I want 10 million catties of cold iron, don't I want to give you 10 million catties of spirit stones?"

"Ten million cold iron? It seems that Your Majesty wants to make reserves! A pound of cold iron and a high-grade spirit stone, the price is fair, as long as Your Majesty is willing to give it, within three months, Wu will definitely transport back ten million catties of cold iron to Your Majesty. "The price is still a bit bullying.

Cold iron is not a rare thing, but for monks, for ordinary people, cold iron can be said to be a great divine iron.

Among the nine countries, only Chu has this forging technology, and the other eight countries have no way to take cold iron. Because to refine cold iron, it is necessary to have a core fire, and Nanchu is located in the southernmost part, the weather is hot, and the earth's crust is relatively thin, so you can get the core fire. Not every place is as capable of communicating with the flames of the center of the earth as the Rising Sun Peak.

It is useless to the rest of the country, but it is a necessity for the Chu State, so the Wuqiu genius lion opened his mouth. If you want money, it is impossible for a royal family to do without it.

Mi Long snorted coldly: "Ten million catties of cold iron, you want ten million high-grade spirit stones, it's just a joke." I asked Suyi to help, but it was only something that hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones could do. The reason why I came to you for this foundationless Breaker is just to see an acquaintance, and your temper is quite appetizing to me, you simply don't know what to do. ”

Wu Qiutian spread his hands: "Then please ask Your Majesty to find Han Ming to do it! Although Potian is small, he is not a character who needs to be pitied by others." Open the door to do business, pay attention to a love and I willing, business is not benevolent and righteous, this is the truth. Please poop and do not send it. ”

Mi Long stood up and really wanted to leave, Wu Qiutian suddenly said: "By the way, Your Majesty, Han Ming should not have left yet, he is in the Heaven-Breaking Guest Room, if Your Majesty really has a heart, you can let the maid take you there." When the price is right, please send someone to inform you in the next voice, so that you can learn how to do business. ”

The thousand-year tribulation is coming, it is strange that Han Ming is willing to take this kind of business, if it was before, God Emperor Gu would definitely not dare to touch him, but now, it is the time when he needs to rely on the royal family of the Nine Kingdoms. If he makes excessive demands or offends some big people at such a time, it is too late for the royal family of the Nine Kingdoms to protect themselves, how can they continue to protect him.

Others don't know the inside story, but Mi Long knows it clearly, so this is also where Wu Qiutian's confidence lies, so Mi Long has no way.

The royal families of various countries are not people like Wu Qiutian who have already laid the mark of Yuelu Academy.

To put it nicely, as soon as the thousand-year-old catastrophe arrived, Yuelu Academy was the first to stand behind Wu Qiutian, and it was ugly to say that all forces would regard Wu Qiutian as a person from Yuelu Academy.

There are thunder tribulation masters in the Nine Kingdoms, but there are no peerless masters like the Six-Yuan Thunder Tribulation and Seven-Yuan Thunder Tribulation, and the masters of several Thunder Tribulations are not enough in the eyes of those hidden world sects.

The thousand-year-old catastrophe, the Chu State and the Han State, which have stood for thousands of years, all know that the other seven kingdoms have only heard of it, but they don't really know everything.

Stopping at the door, Mi Long's heart tightened, and he turned his head and said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to send the required gold and spirit stones, and after three months, Wuling, the capital of Southern Chu, will be waiting for you." ”

After speaking, he strode outside, and Wu Qiutian said loudly: "Give a deposit of 30% first, and give the rest after Wu comes back." ”

After Milong left, Chao Ren and the others walked into the living room, and Zhao Hai was a little confused: "Boss, why do you only accept a deposit?"

Wu Qiutian said with a smile: "Business is like this, what is reassuring is called business, and what is not reassuring can only be called robbery." ”

Zhao Hai sighed thoughtfully, stopped talking, and then Chao Ling began to report the cost of the spirit stone during this time, Wu Qiutian waved his hand, signaling that she didn't need to report, and said that there was no suspicion of using people.

It's naturally good to be trusted, but without waiting for Chao Ling to be happy, Wu Qiutian's next words made her face fall suddenly: "I said Chao Ling, you are also a big girl, and the eldest should also find a Taoist companion, I think Zhao Hai, this kid is quite clever, why don't you take him as a messenger?"

Chao Ling's face changed greatly, her pale face reflected her pink lips, and she bit her lip tightly, and she could already see a little blood.

Seeing her appearance, Zhao Hai hurriedly said: "Boss, what nonsense are you talking about, Chao Ling is so beautiful, how can I be worthy of others." ”

"Zhao Hai, if you are a gentleman, you have to act like a gentleman, don't act like you don't care about everything. After this village, there is no such shop. Today I just want to make it clear to you that there are some things that cannot be forced, but remember to cherish the people around you. Wu Qiutian was quite serious.

Chao Ling's thoughts, how could he not know, but the two of them are very different, it is impossible at all, even if Xuanyuan Ziyi does not appear, maybe Wu Qiutian will not have any sparks with her. The long pain is better than the short pain, so he had to stand up and be this evil man.

Chao Ling raised her head, her eyes were already full of tears: "The leader of the alliance really hopes that Chao Ling will marry Zhao Hai?"

Wu Qiutian gritted his back molars and said a little cruelly: "Sincerely, as long as you agree, I sincerely hope that you can be happy if you marry anyone." ”

"Okay, I'll marry, but I want the alliance leader to borrow something. Chao Ling ignored the blood oozing from her lips.

"What do you want. Wu Qiutian tried to keep his tone soft, he knew that his words were too cruel for this woman, but he had to be cruel.

If she can be with Xuanyuan Ziyi one day, her family will never allow her to have a girl by her side who is in her heart. And he will never allow some hope to exist, let alone let Chao Ling waste his years like this.

Chao Ling said: "I want the alliance leader to preside over the wedding in person, no need for half a guest, no need for any gift money, only need the alliance leader and the alliance leader's wife to be worshiped by me." From now on, Chao Ling is no longer Chao Ling, Chao Ling will be Mrs. Zhao, and she will also be the most loyal subordinate of the alliance leader in the future, and she will have no two hearts. ”

Wu Qiutian was still a little hesitant, non-parents and people with high moral standing were not allowed to preside over the affairs of the second daughter, and non-parents were not allowed to bow down to the newcomer. Besides, Chao Ren is still there, and his doing so is tantamount to overstepping his bounds.

Chao Ren kept glancing at him, and he looked anxious, eager to run over and hold his head and make him nod in agreement.

Finally, Wu Qiutian nodded: "Okay, I promise you! From now on, Chao Ling is my Wu Qiutian's righteous sister, if anyone dares to commit it, she will be killed!"

Loss, sadness, melancholy, all kinds of emotions kept intertwining in my heart, and in the end, Chao Ling accepted her fate. The hard work of her brother, Zhao Hai's ardent pursuit, the bitter heart of others, and Wu Qiutian's deliberate ruthlessness, she saw it all in her eyes.

She also knew in her heart that it was unlikely that she and Wu Qiutian would be possible. In the past, she had always thought that she could saddle up the horse by Wu Qiutian's side, at least to be able to be by her beloved's side and do something for him, which was also a rare happiness. Now, a group of big men have deprived her of her last happiness, and she has nothing to do.

The wedding of the two was held in a simple room, and the request was made by Chao Ling, except for a few core members of Potian, no one was notified. The ceremony was completed, and Chao Ling became a married woman.

Life is like this, full of helplessness, not all sentient beings can be together, of course, there are exceptions.
