Chapter 227: Hidden in the City
Lingzhou is at the southernmost tip of the Immortal Forbidden Continent, there are several powerful countries here, and the mortal world is very prosperous here, but there are not many cultivation sects in this state.
First, this place is far away from the major sects in Zhongzhou, secondly, there are few spiritual veins here, and thirdly, because the spiritual energy here is thin, although there are many mortals, there are very few people with spiritual roots.
Chu Lingguo is the most powerful country in Lingzhou, with a vast territory and many people, because the empire is strong, few countries in the surrounding countries dare to be enemies with it, and for many years, it has been prosperous.
Lingjun is the capital of Chu Lingguo, covering an extremely wide area, a radius of dozens of kilometers is all within the scope of the capital, the capital is divided into inside and outside, three layers, which inhabited the royal family and important ministers of Chu Lingguo, with heavy guards, heavily guarded.
The area of the middle floor is slightly larger, and the mansions of some kings and grandsons are built on the middle floor, and the middle floor is all rich and noble, and the pavilions are exquisite and magnificent.
Outside the middle level is the outer city with the largest number of people, and the merchants and traders come and go all year round, and there are many people here, which is intricate, and it is the most chaotic place in Lingjun.
And in the east of the middle floor, a large mansion was recently bought by a mysterious high-roller, you must know that this mansion is very famous in the entire Ling County, and it is the residence of the founding general of Chu Lingguo.
After the mysterious high-roller bought the mansion, he spent money to hire a large number of employees and helpers, and the money was spent like flowing water, but the owner of the mansion was not seen at all.
After a month of busy work, the whole mansion has not yet moved in, and countless silver has been spent, and I heard the helper of the big mansion say that this month's expenses are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount, even if the nobles who live in the middle of the class, not everyone can take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at will.
Soon, the entire Lingjun began to talk about it, speculating about who the owner of the mansion was, but it was not until the end of January. A luxurious carriage pulled by eight pure white dragons slowly came to the mansion.
The two of them walked down from the carriage, they were not very old, the man was gorgeously dressed and his face was spirited, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower but looked a little cold.
The spies, who were squatting in various places, saw the two men getting out of the carriage and hurried back to report it.
"Senior sister, this is where we will live in the future" The young man said with a slight smile to the woman next to him, these two people were Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er from the Yin Corpse Mountain Range.
After leaving the Yin Corpse Mountain Range, Wang Ke decided to find a quiet place to cultivate, in order to avoid being discovered by the people of the Blood Moon Sect and the Aoki Sect, Wang Ke deliberately took Qin Ke'er to this Lingzhou realm.
At this time, he was transmitting a voice to Qin Ke'er, Qin Ke'er looked up at the mansion in front of him, and said with a slight frown: "This may be very important to ordinary people, but how can you cultivate without aura, the mortal world is not suitable for us cultivators."
"Hehe, this may be the opinion of most monks, but I have read the practice codex of a senior, and he said that the mundane world is another place of cultivation, and sometimes it is better to train a person than a pure place," Wang Ke said with a smile.
"Is there such a saying, it's the first time I've heard of it" Qin Ke'er glanced back at Wang Ke and said with a slight surprise.
"Let's go, senior sister, let's go in first, since we have come to this mortal world, we should have the appearance of the mortal world, otherwise this place will come in vain."
Saying that, Wang Ke took the lead and walked inside, and soon disappeared, in the corridors on both sides of the mansion, those helpers had already lined up and stood up, bowing their heads respectfully, these helpers all saw the head of the house for the first time, and they were a little curious, seeing that the head of the house was so young, they became even more curious.
"Don't stand here, go and get busy, butler, come in with us first" Wang Ke waved his long sleeves, naturally revealing a trace of nobility, and then turned his head to an old man standing not far away with his head bowed.
"It's the head of the family" The old man looked close to Huajia, his eyes shrewd, and he followed Wang Ke and the others inside, and those subordinate helpers quickly dispersed, but they began to talk to each other.
Just after Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er appeared in the mansion, the entire Lingjun was shaken, and at this time, in a luxurious mansion on the middle floor of you, a mighty middle-aged man was sitting on top of the main hall, listening to the people below.
This person heard the words with a face and a breath of superiority on his body, and after listening to the report of the person below, his face showed a contemplative expression, and he spoke after a long time.
"According to what you say, the people who live in the General's Mansion are very young, but there are only a handful of people like us Chu Lingguo, do you know them."
"Lord Hui, these two people are a little blind, their subordinates have never seen these two people in Lingjun for so many years, I guess they are from other places," the person below said respectfully.
"Well, okay, I know, you go down" The middle-aged man above waved his hand, and the man below hurriedly retreated respectfully.
"Madam, what do you think of these two people who live in the General's Mansion" The middle-aged man turned his head to look aside, and beside him, a graceful and luxurious woman had an extraordinary bearing.
At this time, he turned his head and said slowly: "Since you can buy the General's Mansion, a thousand gold, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person, I think it's better for us to visit."
"It just so happens that I also want to go and meet the master of this family for a while, if I can become our friend, then it will be easy to do things, in case I am pulled by another guy, I am afraid it will not be good for our firm" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"In this case, let's hurry over, so as not to be preempted by Tongbao Bank and Yuxing Commercial Bank, our HSBC Commercial Bank and the two of them temporarily maintain a balance, and we can't break it" The lady raised her right hand lightly and stood up gracefully.
The same thing happened in the other two mansions in Lingjun, the area of these two mansions was not at all inferior to the mansion purchased by Wang Ke, the decoration was exquisite, and the crowd in the mansion was driven, and it was prosperous.
"Hehe, if it's two juniors, it's easy to deal with, immediately send someone to investigate their background, and if you can buy the General's Mansion at once, I think there must be some background" The one who spoke was an old man sitting on a sandalwood chair, this old man was rich, his face was noble, and his eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he was the head of Tongbao Bank.
"Head of the house, should we go there in person?" asked a middle-aged man sitting not far away with an inquiring tone.
"Go, of course I want to see where these two come from," the old man said, and stood up.
After discussing with the other people in the mansion, they also decided to go to the General's Mansion together, and the entire Lingjun became lively because of the appearance of Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er.
The tavern and the teahouse all started talking, speculating about the origin of the people who lived in the General's Mansion, but no one could tell the origin of the two clearly, which made the General's Mansion a veil of mystery.
In the lobby, Qin Ke'er sat quietly on the side, with a cup of fragrant hot tea next to her, but she didn't take this hot tea to heart.
Next to him, Wang Kezheng was discussing something with the housekeeper, such as what items to purchase, how to arrange the general's mansion, and some other expenses, Wang Ke discussed with the housekeeper one by one.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed, after all, Wang Ke was born in the young lord of the county, and he still knew these things very well, and there was no problem in communicating with the housekeeper at this time.
While discussing the end of the time, a young man hurriedly ran in from outside, and this little guy ran into the lobby, first saluted respectfully before saying: "Tell the head of the family, someone is visiting outside, it is Lord Zhao and his wife from HSBC Commercial Bank."
"Butler, what is their origin," Wang Ke asked, turning his head to look at the butler.
"Hui Yu family, this HSBC Commercial Bank, Tongbao Bank and Yuxing Commercial Bank are the three major forces in Lingjun, and they control most of the financial power of Lingjun, so they can't be offended," the housekeeper hurriedly said.
"Well, let's invite them in, and go and prepare tea" Wang Ke said lightly, at this time he had completely regarded himself as a worldly person.
"Yes" The little guy ran out respectfully, and soon welcomed the two of them, the mighty middle-aged man was the head of the HSBC firm, and the middle-aged lady was his wife.
"This must be the head of the HSBC firm, when he first came to Lingjun, he should have visited them one by one, but he let the head of the family come in person, I am really ashamed, please sit down," Wang Ke stood up and said with a smile.
Qin Ke'er next to him glanced at the two of them lightly, and really nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man swept his gaze at Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er, but when he saw that the two of them were so young, he was slightly shocked, but immediately said with a smile: "I heard that a pair of young handsome men lived in the General's Mansion, and when I saw it in person, it was really talented, and it was very beautiful, by the way, I don't know Your Excellency's surname, and this one is."
The head of the Zhao family and his wife walked to the side and sat down, and the people waiting next to them hurriedly served fragrant tea.
"Don't have your surname Wang, a single name can be a word, next to this cousin is under the next cousin, surnamed Qin Keer, cousin doesn't like to deal with people by nature, please don't be surprised."
"Where, Miss Qin's country is beautiful and fragrant, she has the appearance of a captivating city, she is really a first-class beauty in the world, I am afraid that there is no one in the entire Lingjun who can compare to Miss Qin's beauty" It was the middle-aged lady who was sitting next to the head of the Zhao family who spoke, and at this time she looked at Qin Ke'er and praised.
There is no girl who doesn't like others to say that she is beautiful, and although Qin Keer is a cultivator, she cannot be exempted.
She is originally beautiful, and at the same time, she has been cultivating all the year round, and she naturally has an aura on her body, which forms a temperament, which is definitely not possessed by mortal women.
Qin Ke'er smiled at the woman and nodded, then turned her head back, the head of the Zhao family took a sip of tea, and immediately praised: "Good tea, this must be Tiangong Yunwu Tea, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to taste it again in my lifetime."
"The head of the Zhao family has a lot of research on the tea ceremony, this is indeed Tiangong Yunwu tea, my cousin and I are not from Chu Lingguo, we are from Izumo country, we don't bring much Tiangong Yunwu tea, but if the Zhao family master likes it, I can cut my love" Wang Ke said with a smile.
"Hehe, how embarrassing is this, Brother Wang is actually a person from Izumo Country, no wonder he has such wealth, I heard that Izumo Country is rich in resources and treasures everywhere, I have heard of it a long time ago, but I haven't had the opportunity to go there once" The head of the Zhao family said with a happy face, and he liked this Tiangong Yunwu Tea very much.
Since Wang Ke brought Qin Ke'er to this world, he naturally made some preparations, and this Heavenly Palace Cloud Mist Tea was naturally brought over in Izumo Kingdom.
Suddenly, the little guy outside ran in again, and said respectfully: "The head of the family, the two major business masters of Tongbao and Yuxing outside have come to pay a visit."
"Oh, I didn't expect that I had just come in and ushered in these distinguished guests, come and invite them in" Wang Ke glanced at the head of the Zhao family, smiled and said, with a look of surprise on his face.
