With a "bang", the middle-aged man drew his katana and slashed at the young man. Although he was trembling all over, the young man stiffened up, not daring to dodge in the slightest.

With a "bang", a big tree in the distance was cut by the knife qi, and it was instantly broken into two, and it fell to the ground at once, making a loud noise. The middle-aged man vented his anger and said viciously: "It's all a bunch of useless guys, even such a small thing can't be done, what use do you want?"

The young man was in a cold sweat and said tremblingly, "My lord, isn't it...... Sending some more people over? There are still quite a few masters in the cultivators of the Huaxia Kingdom. ”

"Baga!" the man in his prime raised his hand and slapped the young man in the face. Suddenly, this person's face was blue and red, and he was swollen high. The young man didn't dare to dodge, so he quickly stood upright, bowed ninety degrees, and said loudly: "Hi Yi!"

After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man said: "Temporarily stop acting, the people of Huaxia Kingdom are not strong-willed, and there are many internal contradictions. Send some shrewd and capable people to sneak in and look for opportunities in the dark. Since there can be a Ye Xiaochao appearing, there must be more, let them be careful and not show any horses' feet. ”

Almost at the same time, in Zhicheng in Huaxia Kingdom, the branch of the Huaxia Xiuzhen Alliance was stationed in Zhicheng. The person in charge of guarding the natal spirit tablet, when he was conducting a routine inspection, found that one of the spirit cards was broken. This shows that the owner of the spirit card has been killed. He did not dare to slack off, and after the hasty inspection was completed, he reported the matter to the person in charge of the station.

Recently, it happened that Zhang Siyuan was in charge here. This person hurriedly walked into the small courtyard where Zhang Siyuan lived and reported the sudden situation. At this time, Zhang Siyuan was having breakfast with his son, and after listening, he casually asked, "What is the name of the person who died?" Is it a disciple of the sect or a loose cultivator?"

"It's a loose cultivator, and his name is Ye Xiaochao. The man quickly replied.

"Ye Xiaochao, is it? Is this bastard finally dead? Do you dare to be so bold and take care of Young Master Ben's affairs?" Zhang Siyuan's son Zhang Lingyun, as soon as he heard the news, his first feeling was that he felt a sigh of relief, and he didn't go through his brain to speak, and he said it casually.

Seeing the person who came to report the news, a faint anger appeared on his face, Zhang Siyuan glared at his son slightly, and said lightly: "I know, you go down first." ”

"But...... Would you like to send someone over and check on it to see what was causing it?" the man asked, a little unwillingly.

Zhang Siyuan's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Do you still want you to teach me how to do things? I really don't know how thick the sky is! I have my own opinions on this matter, so I don't need you to worry about it, go down!"

Regarding Ye Xiaochao's death, to be honest, Zhang Siyuan didn't care at all. It's just a loose cultivation in the Qi refining period, and he didn't even break through in the foundation building period, and if he dies, he will die, what's all the fuss? What's more, this person has offended his precious son, and if he didn't kill him personally, he is worthy of him.

If you report a failure in a mission, at most give it to his family, pay a pension, and it's over. Of course, this money must have come from the alliance, and he Zhang Siyuan didn't have that spare money.

Despite his reluctance, the man who had come to report the news immediately left the place. Zhang Siyuan has always been arrogant and domineering in the Zhicheng branch, saying that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die. If you accidentally offend this person, in the Zhicheng branch, don't think about having a good life.

Although this person is also a disciple of a sect, the sect he belongs to is only a medium-sized force. The strongest head of the sect is only a mid-level monk in the Spirit Gathering Period, and the Wuji Sect where Zhang Siyuan is located is not at the same level at all.

Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't provoke such an enemy for his sect. So after leaving Zhang Siyuan, this person kept silent about this matter. Anyway, he has already reported it to his superiors, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with him.

In this way, the news of Ye Xiaochao's death did not cause any waves, and quietly, no one paid attention to this matter at all. Not to mention sending people to the place of his death to conduct a thorough investigation.

At this time, Tang Chengxuan, who was in Qinghe City, naturally did not know these inside stories. After eating breakfast and resting for a while, he walked out of the small courtyard with a few of his subordinates and came to his office. As for those subordinates, they also rushed to their respective jobs to add bricks and tiles to Boss Tang's career.

Today, Tang Chengxuan's company has developed to a certain scale, and it is difficult to expand further in Qinghe City. After all, Qinghe is only a third-tier city, and both the population and the industrial scale are very limited. If we want to break through this bottleneck and continue to develop rapidly, we must go out and go to a broader world.

At breakfast just now, Zhang Hongli and others talked about this issue. According to their ideas, they want to develop in the provincial city of Zhicheng, which is the economic and cultural center of the entire Tanglin Province, with a large population and a lot of room for development in all walks of life.

For this idea, Tang Chengxuan must support it, it is only a matter of time before he goes out, and now the conditions are ripe, and it is time to show his talents. In fact, as early as a month or two ago, Zhang Hongli and others had already begun to be active in Zhicheng, looking for suitable opportunities.

It's just that one is busy, and the other is to try luck. It was only recently that they had their sights on a place and were ready to buy it as a foothold for Blue Dragon International Business Company in Zhicheng. After that, relying on this foothold, it gradually developed in Zhicheng.

For these business operations, Boss Tang will not interfere, and his subordinates are all very capable. At least in terms of business, it is much better than a layman like himself.

The layman directs the insider, which often causes many unforeseen problems, which only complicate the problem and does not play any role. Tang Chengxuan wouldn't do such a stupid thing, he worked hard and couldn't get any results.

These things are all handed over to Zhang Hongli and others to be responsible, as long as the results are reported, Boss Tang gave them the greatest autonomy. As for himself, he still had to devote his main energy to cultivation. Only when the strength is strong, can one not be afraid of any challenges and battles, that is the foundation of a cultivator.

For the next few days, Tang Chengxuan stayed in Qinghe City and was in semi-retreat. It's only in the morning that I go to the office to sit down and learn about the situation. In the afternoon and evening, they usually enter the world of stars and concentrate on cultivation.

In the past few days, Chu Feixiong and the others have come out of the Star World one after another, and returned to their respective sects to carry out the plan they had discussed at the beginning. Through various relationships, Tang Chengxuan's subordinates were gradually introduced to his own sect.

What made Tang Chengxuan feel more puzzled was that Ye Xiaochao's death did not cause any waves at all. Even Chu Feixiong and the others didn't get any news. They couldn't go over and inquire directly, so how could they explain it to others if there were no three hundred taels of silver here? Tang Chengxuan had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and no longer pay attention to it.

Everything seems to be going well, Zhang Hongli and others successfully bought a commercial building in Zhicheng and officially entered the provincial capital. In the future, they will gradually shift the focus of development there. On the side of Qinghe City, of course, it will be retained, but it will not continue to expand.

At noon on this day, Tang Chengxuan finished his morning's work and was about to leave his office, when he just turned off the computer when the phone on the desk rang. He picked up the phone casually and asked, "Hello, I'm Tang Chengxuan, what's the matter?"

This call was made by the security guard at the entrance of the martial arts hall. said that there was a person outside, claiming to be the chairman of Zhicheng Fujia Group, named Zhang Zeqiang. There is something very important and I want to meet with the boss in person.

Zhang Zeqiang, this name has never been heard of, as for what Zhicheng Fujia Group, Tang Chengxuan doesn't know what it does, but it is vaguely familiar. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Chengxuan thought that since he had already come to the door, he would simply meet him, so he asked the security guard to let him in.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked in panting. This person is relatively fat, has a big beer belly, and obviously rarely exercises, just a few flights of stairs, which makes him tired like this. Tang Chengxuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he didn't bother to use his divine sense to scan, such a body was not even as good as an ordinary person, and he would definitely not be a cultivator.

After receiving the call, Tang Chengxuan came out of it and sat on the sofa outside to wait. Seeing this person walk in the door, he stood up and greeted him, no matter what, the guest came to visit, the minimum etiquette, still wanted.

The man gasped for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tang Chengxuan, looked at him carefully for a moment, and then said: "Excuse me, you are Mr. Tang Chengxuan, right? I am the chairman of Zhicheng Fujia Group, named Zhang Zeqiang. I have the liberty to come to the door today, and I really need to talk to you face to face. ”

Seeing that this person didn't seem to be joking, Tang Chengxuan said: "I am Tang Chengxuan, Mr. Zhang, since there is something, please sit down and talk." ”

The two shook hands and sat down on the sofa, Zhang Zeqiang said: "Actually, I made a special trip here today, mainly for two things. The first thing I want to do is to thank Mr. Tang for saving my father's life. As for the second thing......" (To be continued.) )
