"There seems to be a fire burning in your heart."

Li Er looked at him with bright eyes.

"Do you have hatred?"

"It's not about hatred, it's just that the anger in my heart was brought out by others." Ren Qiong whispered, "In addition to seeing the world, I also want to travel tonight... But this night, a lot of things happened.

I couldn't help but be sucked into the whirlpool."

He smiled, but his eyes were cold.

"Do you know...the Zhang family?" he asked.

"What Zhang family? Which Zhang family?" Li Er was puzzled.

"The Zhang family is able to dominate the Guisi mansion. Not only can they cover the sky with one hand, but they can find a hundred ways to make it difficult for ordinary people to survive in the state capital. The Zhang family can be friends with the county captains."

Home."

Ren Qiong recalled it and said slowly.

"There seem to be quite a few Zhang families like this." Li Er mused, "Those who make alchemy, make tools, carry out transportation, draw talismans, maintain the state's evil-dispelling array, and even have an official in the Taoist army system of the Immortal Kingdom.

Part-time people...wait, wait, a lot."

"Old ones, emerging ones, those whose families have fallen into decline, those who have moved in..." Li Er showed a helpless expression, "Zhang, this is a big surname!"

"Unless you define the scope for me in more detail, I won't be able to give you an accurate answer."

"What about... the Zhang family, which has a rather arrogant and domineering family tradition?" Ren Qiong pondered, "Someone in the family is addicted to gambling and horse racing."

"There is a member named Zhang San."

"Zhang San?" Li Er's eyes were subtle, "Is this why you called yourself 'Zhang San' before?"

"You did something bad and you just framed it as a false accusation?"

"It's funny, it's funny." Ren Qiong said haha, trying to fool him.

At this moment, Xu Fu interrupted, "If you say so, I can provide you with some help."

He said quietly, the old man was well-informed, "That is a family that mainly focuses on Talismans. It has a lot of connections in the state capital. It is the designated supplier of some necessary Talismans."

"His family members are deeply intertwined. They seem to have connections not just in one state capital, but across a wide range of areas."

"Oh? The old man actually knows?" Ren Qiong became interested.

"Of course." Xu Fu said proudly, "My profession is half black and half white, with three religions and nine schools, all of which have some ears and eyes."

"I know more about the matters of those wealthy families than you young people."

"Especially when you mention horse racing."

"As we all know, the spirit of dragons and horses... Since ancient times, most real Pegasus are inseparable from real dragons."

Xu Fu stroked his beard and said, "Of course, some hybrid sea monsters with true dragon blood, and some of the flesh and blood produced by them, with a little adjustment, can be the best secret medicine to stimulate the potential of the spirit horse."

"I have heard about this." Li Er added from the side, "According to some of my lecturers at the Taoist Academy, there are transactions between the Taoist Court and the True Dragon every year to purchase dragon blood and train Taoist soldiers and horses."

"Huh? Dragon blood? Can a true dragon bear this?" Ren Qiong was curious.

"What can't be tolerated?" Li Er smiled and said, "It's just bloodletting, it's not life-threatening... If a person loses no more than 10% of his blood, there will be no serious problems, let alone a real dragon?"

"As long as the price is enough, the real dragon will put down its pride."

"Besides, giving money to trade is to give the dragon clan dignity... If they don't want to be dignified, there's no way the Immortal Society will help them look decent."

Li Er said meaningfully, "Not to mention, on certain grand strategies, the Dragon Clan, the Taoist Court, and the Immortal Kingdom have common aspirations."

"So that's it." Ren Qiong sighed, and the aura of the real dragon in his heart was shattered - although he didn't have much admiration in the first place, "Life is not easy, the real dragon sells its blood."

"So, the dragon's blood is a clue?"

"Of course!" Li Er nodded, "Let me tell you this - real dragon blood is a big taboo."

"It's not a big problem if you secretly fiddle with some forbidden weapons or some talismans that are not allowed to be circulated."

"It's bad luck if you get caught, but it doesn't matter if you don't."

"But the real dragon's blood, as well as the top spirit horse seeds, as well as the top war horses that have been cultivated and assembled, are never allowed to flow out of the Taoist court. The Immortal Association will actively pursue them."

"Interesting." Ren Qiong commented, his eyes rolling around.

Such a taboo made him very interested in it.

horse.

Dragon horse.

well.

No wonder he felt something was wrong.

Hetu Luoshu, Hetu Luoshu... The dragon and horse present the river picture!

Without a dragon and horse by his side, how could he show off his destiny as a high-ranking official in the future and be on par with the ancient Holy Emperor?!

I have to find a chance to get one.

"True dragon blood is difficult to obtain, but there is a market for miscellaneous blood." Xu Fu continued, "Of course, we need to keep a low profile. If we are also hit, people like us must engage in related gray industries."

"Some sea spirits have been related to the True Dragon Clan for who knows how many generations. They sold their blood to us, and we then resold it to some horse racing customers to help them raise spirit horses."

"Hey! Did you know?" He chuckled in a low voice, "Many horse racing casinos have insider information."

"Everyone knows how much of the refined 'pseudo-dragon's blood' the spirit horse has taken. The odds are secretly manipulated to harvest ignorant gambling dogs."

Ren Qiong was speechless.

Although dog gambling does not deserve sympathy, it is indeed miserable to be manipulated in such a shady manner.

"You mentioned the Zhang family, its power, arrogance, and horse racing... If nothing else, there is only one Zhang family."

Xu Fu paused after saying this, "Wait a moment."

After that, he walked to a corner, opened a hidden compartment, took out a jade box and opened it, which was full of files and drawings.

Xu Fu carefully took out a pile from it and sent it to Ren Qiong, "Come, take a closer look. This is the information I have collected over the years about the Zhang family."

Ren Qiong took it with a weird look on his face. After holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't hold it in. "Old man, do you still do this kind of business?"

"No, no..." Xu Fu looked melancholy, "How could I dare to do such a business?"

"I collected these just to avoid inadvertently infringing on the interests of these huge forces...or, if I find out that they are going to infiltrate on a large scale one day, I can plan in advance and rush to surrender first.

? Or should I change careers early?”

"I can't wait until things come to an end, and someone puts a knife to my neck, and then I'm busy working on it, right?"

Xu Fu lived a long life, ran a small gang, and endured countless ups and downs to get to where he is today.

As a little man, his wisdom was brought into full play.
