Gu Er, the head of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce, was shocked by Qiu Qingran's powerful force and had not yet reacted from the shock; Qiu Qingran's words were like thunder, ringing in his ears, and then he reacted
Came over.
"Dear strong man, hello, I am the person in charge of the caravan of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. My name is Gu Er. Regarding remuneration, I will definitely break my promise. The reputation of a businessman is the most important. What remuneration do you want? As long as we can do it.
Do your best." Gu Er said respectfully.
At first, Gu Er just hoped that Qiu Qingran could hold off the bandit leader, so that they could break out and escape. A few people went back to report and let his master know that the force that robbed their goods this time was the Feilong Thief from Feilong Mountain.
But the final result made Gu Er frightened. The Feilong bandits were all wiped out under Qiu Qingran's hands. No one was left alive, and everyone turned into a pile of powder.
Gu Er didn't think much about the thief leader Wang Yu, thinking that he had turned into powder.
Qiu Qingran was immediately depressed about what kind of reward he wanted. There were a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Yuanding world, and he didn't need them at all, unless they were the top rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures; the martial arts and martial arts, the Nine Heavens Devouring Heaven Technique, were already in the vast continent.
The first one, and he couldn't practice other techniques after the Nine Heavens Swallowing Heaven Technique.
After much deliberation, Qiu Qingran finally said, "I haven't thought about the specific reward. I'll wait until I think of it. Anyway, it's still half a day's journey to the Wind City. What do you think?"
"Okay, let's do it." Gu Er agreed directly without any nonsense. He didn't dare to be sloppy with such a powerful master, let alone mess with his thoughts, because he knew that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies were just paper tigers and could not be tolerated.
One blow...
The news that the flying dragon thieves failed to rob the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce was blown by the wind, and all the bandit forces received the news. The bandits who originally wanted to get a share of the pie suddenly became famous.
The bandits who had already dispatched their men quickly issued urgent orders to them to withdraw quickly; even the strongest flying dragon thieves failed, and they were looking for death if they jumped out.
Everything was uneventful along the way until the Windy City appeared in front of us.
The City of Winds occupies a very large area, surrounded by a moat, and has a more than 20-meter city wall that has endured the wind and frost of the years.
The soldiers guarding the City of Winds saw that it was the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce caravan and let them go directly. After the caravan entered the city for a long time, the soldier captain quickly left the city gate. It seemed that he had urgent information to report to his superiors.
Compared with Tianlong City, Phoenix City is more than ten times larger. If Tianlong City and Phoenix City are small villages, then Windy City is a town. The streets are very lively, with all kinds of people.
There are ordinary people who know martial arts, and there are warriors who know martial arts...
Qiu Qingran walked on the street, looking everywhere, hoping to find the unique mark of Tianjian Sect, but in the end he found none; so he sent a message to Chu Nan and said, "Senior Brother Chu, I will go with them to Fengxing Chamber of Commerce.
, you, Wind City, look for the number left by the sect leader and the others. After finding it, you determine the location. Make sure you are safe and wait for me at the gate of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce."
Chuanyin uses souls to communicate, and Chu Nan naturally knows how to do it if he has the monthly strength of the Human Soul Realm. Chuanyin replied, "Junior brother, please pay attention to your safety. If Fengxing Merchant Guild has bad intentions, leave immediately."
Chu Nan quietly left the caravan without saying hello. Qiu Qingran followed the caravan for a long time and saw the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in the center of Wind City. Before they arrived at the base camp, many people gathered at the entrance of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce and were waiting.
.
The people who greeted him were divided into two camps. The people on the left were happy to see Gu Er back, while the people on the left seemed unhappy after seeing them. Seeing this battle, Qiu Qingran smiled bitterly in his heart, and suddenly understood that he was
He unintentionally broke someone else's conspiracy and got involved in a dispute between right and wrong.
When Gu Er's master saw that the caravan had returned safely, he came all the way to greet them.
"Gu Er, you have fulfilled your expectations and completed the mission. You have made a great contribution." Gu Er's master, Gu Yi, patted his shoulder happily and said. At the same time, his eyes scanned the team. When he saw Qiu Qingran,
He showed a look that was indeed the case, but quietly motioned for Gu Er to block Qiu Qingran, as if he was afraid that Qiu Qingran would be seen by others.
"These are what subordinates should do. I don't dare to take credit." Gu Er said respectfully, his eyes full of heat.
After the caravan returned safely, Gu Yi took all the people who participated in the escort to his other courtyard, leaving his eldest brother Gu Qian with an unhappy and angry look on his face. Qiu Qingran saw Gu Qian's angry look from the corner of his eye before leaving, and felt a pang in his heart.
wry smile.
The captain at the city gate who was anxious to leave to report appeared in the city lord's palace. He was kneeling on the ground and reported respectfully, "Reporting to the city lord, Gu Yi's caravan of Fengxing Chamber of Commerce has returned safely."
After the city lord Feng Qianchi heard this, he was stunned and became furious the next moment, "What does Wu Weishuang do for food? He actually allowed Gu Yi's caravan to come back safely? Did he grow up eating shit?"
Feng Qianchi calmed down and felt sensitively that this matter might not be that simple, so he gave the captain a task, "Now go to Feilong Mountain and ask Wu Weishuang what is going on? I want the detailed process of the matter.
If it doesn’t work out, there’s no need for you to continue living.”
The captain was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, and he promised tremblingly, "Yes, I will finish it to the death."
In Gu Yi's villa in Wind City, after Gu Yi arranged the pension, he came to the hall and asked all the servants to retreat.
"Dear guest, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. First of all, thank you for saving me. Please ask for the reward you want. Even if I lose everything, I, Gu Yi, will never let you down and will definitely pay it."
Yi said decisively.
Qiu Qingran also guessed the importance of the caravan to Gu Yi from another person. If something happened to the caravan this time, it is estimated that Gu Yi would not be able to stand here in front of him, and he would probably lose power and be eliminated.
exile.
Qiu Qingran had never seen or heard of the competition within the Chamber of Commerce. When he knew that he was in trouble, Qiu Qingran only thought about how to get out of this troublesome situation and was involved in it. There was nothing to think about in return.
"Forget it about the reward. I don't want to be involved in your competition. I have always avoided trouble." Qiu Qingran said with a bitter smile.
Qiu Qingran felt very uncomfortable at the thought of being involved in this dispute and affecting Xiyan and the others. He felt very sorry for them, so Qiu Qingran did not want to be involved in Gu Yi and his fight anyway.
"I am one of the two heirs of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. I believe you can tell with your observation skills. The leader on the right side of the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce just now is another heir. My eldest brother is Gu Qian. He only has interests in his eyes.
Friendship; even though I tried my best to shield you just now, he still saw it. In his eyes, we are already cooperating, so he will deal with you at all costs."
Gu Yi paused mid-sentence, then continued, "Your Majesty, I am not threatening you, but he will really do it; his partner is the Lord of the City of Wind, who has half a foot in the Star Realm.
A master, and the leader of thieves in Feilong Mountain is his brother-in-law; as far as the current situation is concerned, we will both benefit from cooperation, but there will be no benefits from division, but endless trouble. You can consider it."
Qiu Qingran was already analyzing the current situation when Gu Yi started talking. Indeed, as Gu Yi said, both sides would benefit from cooperation, but there would be endless trouble if they divided.
Not to mention that he massacred so many Feilong bandits, but just because he ruined Gu Qian's important event, Gu Qian would not let him go and would definitely try his best to get rid of him.
Finally, Qiu Qingran showed a bitter smile and sighed, "My name is Qiu Qingran. I can cooperate with you and help you win the position of president of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. But after success, no matter what I need, you must help me. If you
If I can't do that, forget it. At worst, I'll just walk away. The vast continent is so big that they won't be able to find me."
Since there is no way to avoid it, the only way is to face it. Qiu Qingran is not afraid, but he just thinks it is troublesome. When there is no way to avoid it, he will get rid of the trouble. This is his approach.
"Okay, deal, I believe in my own vision, you are not a heartless person." Gu Yi said with a smile on his face.
Gu Er told Gu Yi everything about Qiu Qingran a long time ago, including the things that Chu Nan accidentally revealed. Based on these things, Gu Yi concluded that Qiu Qingran was a person who valued love and justice, so he decided to
He invested a lot of money in a huge gamble, and the bet was the entire Fengxing Chamber of Commerce.
After confirming the cooperative relationship, Gu Yi told Qiu Qingran everything, including how tense the current situation was and how crazy Gu Qian was.
After listening, Qiu Qingran realized that the caravan was transporting the imperial alchemy hall's spiritual herbs, as well as a small amount of the empire's war supplies. It was a very important transport for Gu Yi, because this transport was related to whether he could
Directly establish a relationship with the empire.
After knowing everything, Qiu Qingran immediately showed an expression that was even more bitter than bitter gourd.
"I'm completely on your pirate ship. Since Brother Gu has such vast connections, I have to ask you to help me investigate two things." Qiu Qingran said with a solemn face, and his heart ached when he thought about his father Qiu Xiaoyun.
, and Dongfeng Village was massacred for no reason.
Qiu Qingran will never forget the scene of Zhang Yi dying in his arms; and the only clue left behind in all this is a bead with the word "地" written on it.
"Brother Qiu, please tell me, let alone two, I can help you with even ten." Gu Yi answered quickly, fearing that his answer would offend Qiu Qingran.
"The first thing is that there was a massacre of a village at the edge of the Beast Forest three years ago. Among the hundreds of people in Dongfeng Village, no one survived. I hope Brother Gu can help find the murderer of this incident." Qiu Qing.
Ran said with hatred on his face.
"What about the second thing?" Gu Yi directly agreed to ask about the second thing.
"The second thing is to help me find someone. His name is Qiu Xiaoyun. He has a Chinese character face, sword eyebrows, and a cross wound on his right hand." Qiu Qingran continued.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Yi opened his mouth with a solemn face and said, "Brother Qiu, I can't guarantee that I can do it, but I will try my best to do it, how about it?"
If Gu Yi had guaranteed that Qiu Qingran would not believe him at all, but now he believed it without a doubt, because he could feel Gu Yi's sincerity and that he really wanted to help him.
