In the room, the sound of counting banknotes...well...counting explosive charms is quite pleasant.
The young master of the Zhao family is a serious man, and he is very serious about counting.
Looking at the old man in sackcloth, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Is that a blast talisman?
Yes, those are explosive charms, a thick stack that can cover the entire wall.
Damn it, where did he get so many explosive talismans?
The old man in sackcloth was feeling chilled all over. He was not afraid of exploding talismans. One or two of them wouldn't really matter, but if there were too many, they would not only shake him, but also blow him up to the sky.
After all, he can't use real energy.
It's a bet! This is what he said himself, only a ghost can bear it if he doesn't move his true energy.
It’s great to have a master.
This same sentence was repeated thousands of times in the mind of the old man in Mai. Such a number of explosive talismans were probably rewarded by that old guy.
Miscalculation, serious miscalculation.
Who knows if Zhao Yun still has such a background, can he explode the talisman for free?
"This is a piece of paper."
"Let's do it again. If I win, you can't lie."
"My master, I don't have a very good temper."
Zhao Yun has finished counting, and since they are still harmless, he has started to put on the explosive charms, focusing on the key points, such as pants, crotch, forehead, chest, back, as long as there is some space, he will put it on, trying to put it all in one go.
People explode into the sky.
"Here, get your sword skills ready."
The old man in sackcloth didn't say much and handed the prepared Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique to Zhao Yun.
When it was done, the guy turned around and left.
If you don't leave, you're going to die. If you don't leave, you'll be bombed. This little thing is a beast.
"No! Let me try."
Zhao Yun took a quick step forward and grabbed the old man. To be honest, he really wanted to try the power of the new explosive talisman to see if it could really shake the Xuanyang Realm, and he felt confident.
"Get lost."
The old man in sackcloth puffed his beard and glared, then slipped through the wall without a trace. It was so late at night, I was really free. You are talking nonsense like this, and you even threatened me with explosive charms. Damn it, you couldn't do it, but you actually hooked up with someone.
Swordsmanship.
The night was still so peaceful.
The old man left, while Zhao Yun was carrying the ancient scroll and laughing, so let's talk! Without that diamond, there will be less porcelain work. I have the explosive talisman.
Soon, the sound of swords was heard in the room.
It's Zhao Yun who is dancing with the sword. He is very talented and can learn everything quickly. He has learned the true meaning of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique. The sword is thunderous. It is really not an ordinary domineering one. Coupled with the Fengshen Steps and Body Techniques, he can really perform a perfect sword.
The power to kill.
Naturally, this requires practice.
Xiu'er once said that magical powers and secrets are ultimately external forces. To strike iron, you need to be strong and possess sufficient knowledge. Even an ordinary palm can destroy the world.
Thinking of Luna, he glanced at his consciousness.
It had been several days, and she showed no sign of waking up, only becoming more and more dreamy.
"What a domineering explosive charm."
In the attic, the old man in sackcloth held a piece of explosive talisman and was studying it in front of the lamp.
He took this secretly before leaving.
It's not that he has never seen an explosive talisman before. It's slightly different from Zhao Yun's. Comparing the two, that kid's explosive talisman seems to be more authentic. Looking at the thunder patterns and fire breath on the talisman, you can tell that this talisman is blessed with thunder and lightning.
The power of fire can be imagined.
"Only the royal family knows how to draw the explosive talisman."
The old man murmured with deep eyes. He was once a member of the Tianzong and knew the ancient secrets. The method of this talisman was tabooed by the Great Xia Dragon Dynasty a hundred years ago. Only the direct descendants of the royal family can obtain the true inheritance, and it is impossible to flow into it.
folk.
In fact, there is more than just this method of drawing explosive symbols.
There are other secret techniques and techniques, such as ground escape, invisibility, etc., which have also been listed as taboos. The secret books circulating in the world today are all leftovers from the royal family. Their purpose is very obvious, to consolidate their own rule.
status.
"He is from the royal family?"
The old man in sackcloth frowned slightly, and he was referring to Master Zhao Yun.
This guess seems reasonable.
Even if you are not a member of the royal family, you must be inseparable from the royal family. There are so many experts in Tianzong, and the royal family is also unfathomable. There are countless crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
"If you are a royal family, will you be short of elixirs?"
The old man in sackcloth put his hands in his hands and muttered again.
There are many loopholes in this matter.
However, one thing is worthy of affirmation, that is, that old man is absolutely terrifying.
The next day, Zhao Yun left the military store early.
The medicine shop is where he often goes. Martial arts consumes resources, so he will go there every now and then. Pills and spiritual liquid are all necessary for practice.
Fortunately, he has money in his hand, which is enough to support him.
Returning to the military store, I saw an old man in sackcloth from a distance, his face a little dark.
Don't blame me.
Zhao Yun calmed down. It was you who insisted on coming to me to bet in the middle of the night.
No, I have to find a place to come back.
The old man in sackcloth took a deep breath. He was using his sword skills in vain. He was frustrated by this, but the martial arts cultivator in the Xuanyang realm was defeated in the hands of the Ning Yuan realm.
"Have a big fight."
Zhao Yun closed his eyes, ate the jelly beans, and locked himself in the room again.
The so-called big fight is nothing more than refining weapons.
However, this time it is different from the past. All the tempered weapons have a hint of thunder and lightning added to increase their power. This is the real weapon refining technique. It is necessary to refine the thunder and lightning into the weapon without losing it.
It's technical work.
It is undeniable that the energy expended is doubled.
Not long after, the first weapon was cast, which was a large halberd, with thunder and lightning added, inscribed with thunder patterns, and its hardness and flexibility were refined to the highest level.
As the quality increases, so does the price.
The next day, the Liu family's military store was opened. There were customers, but there were very few.
Looking at Zhao's house, the shop door is closed.
On the second day, the price of the Liu family's weapons was reduced from fifty taels to forty taels. No one bought the fifty taels, and no one bought the forty taels. They waited for the price to continue to drop.
This was Liu Canghai's helpless move.
It had been delayed for too long. He needed to make up for the shortfall and recover the money as soon as possible.
In addition, there is pressure from various families.
This huge bet on monopoly was an alliance he made, and everyone invested a lot of money. The monopoly was good, and money would be made sooner or later, and the family would be able to explain it when asked.
Unfortunately, the battle was lost.
In other words, we are disappointed with Liu Canghai. We gambled with you at a loss, but in the end our work was in vain. We must get back the money we invested. The clan is very dissatisfied.
Every family has its cupboard.
The pressure from all the families was piled on Liu Canghai. This situation forced him to a dead end. He had no help from his own family, and other families were also clamoring for money.
That's why this price reduction came about.
Even though he knew he was losing money, he still had to bite the bullet and wanted to recover the money in a short time to make up for the shortfall. No matter how much money other families invested, he would get back a lot of it. As for how much he lost, he had to keep it himself.
.
On the third day, the price will increase again.
Good weapons, bought for fifty taels, have been reduced to thirty taels.
This is the day Zhao Yun has been waiting for.
The money! It's already been prepared. It's time for him to fight back.
The so-called counterattack is also a monopoly.
What was sold for fifty taels was bought back for thirty taels, and the Liu family's military store was emptied out in one go. After the work was done, it was tempered and cast, and the price rose again.
"As many as you want."
Reckless put on a black robe and ran over with the banknotes in his arms. He had lived for thirty years and was so wealthy for the first time. He threw the banknotes around in a domineering manner.
"It's so rich."
Many people on the street looked sideways and saw that there were more than a dozen carriages parked outside the Liu family's military store. They were loading weapons at the moment, and every carriage was fully loaded.
"These two families are really interesting."
Street people murmured that a few days ago, the Liu family was buying like crazy and the Zhao family was selling like crazy; now the roles are reversed, the Zhao family is buying like crazy and the Liu family is selling like crazy.
"Business war, this is a business war."
A discerning person will know at a glance that the two families are secretly fighting each other!
Snapped!
The sound of the whip was sounded, and more than a dozen carriages loaded with weapons all started to move. In one breath, the Liu Family Arms Store was shorted, and not a single thing was left.
"It must be from the Zhao family's army."
Wang De snorted coldly, looking at his expression, he thought he knew what was happening.
"You still need to tell me?"
Liu Canghai cursed, he could think of monopoly, but Zhao Yun would not think of it? Sell fifty taels a piece, buy another thirty taels, from that point on, you will not lose money.
"Is this...so cheap for the Zhao family?"
"The bank, my family, other shops, and major families are all forcing me to ask for money. What can I do?" Liu Canghai covered his heart and spat out blood.
It's time to get angry and attack your heart.
At this moment, he scolded Zhao Yun a thousand times, and also scolded Liu Cangkong a thousand times. The strategy was right, but it was his clan's incompetence and his teammates' inability to sit still.
At the critical moment, everything is so messed up.
If you can't find anyone for your own weapon refiner, you can just poach the other party's weapon refiner!
If you can't dig it out, send people to destroy it!
This whole thing, he was fighting so passionately that he even put his entire family on the line, but the family was in trouble, and even his allies were adding insult to injury.
The most irritating person is Liu Cangkong.
As the head of the family, just a word from you can help me get through this difficult time. At the very least, give me financial support, and I won't be in this situation today.
However, Liu Cangkong refused to save him.
While they were talking, many figures had pushed the door open and came in, and there was a bustling crowd. Most of them were housekeepers from various stores, and there were also people from other families. They heard that the Liu Family Arms Shop had done a big deal, so they came in a hurry. They formed a team to find Liu Canghai.
Want money.
Give, give all.
Liu Canghai simply returned the money in full, no matter how much money he invested.
"The result is openness."
Everyone was laughing, the money was back, and it would be easier for the family to explain.
"I won't send it."
Liu Canghai said calmly, feeling the urge to vomit old blood again, so he found a bunch of pig teammates. They were so damn happy. They asked for money, and each one was more active than the other.
"Fire is very harmful to the body."
The shopkeepers smiled, came in groups, and left together.
After everyone left, someone else came.
He is the steward of the Liu Family Bank, gently waving his folding fan, full of character.
Obviously, he also came to ask for money.
During these days, Liu Canghai borrowed a lot of money from the bank?
"So impatient?"
Liu Canghai couldn't breathe well and coughed up blood again. His family members rushed to ask for money, but he admitted it, even to his own bank. How could I have escaped? If they hadn't been so tight, how could I have escaped?
Weapons are sold at reduced prices.
"Third Master, one code will return to one code."
The manager of the bank is smiling but not smiling. He only cares about collecting money and does not care about anything else.
"Take it away, don't give it away."
Liu Canghai snorted coldly and handed over a stack of banknotes, which represented his entire wealth. He had to make up for the lost money. He had worked hard for decades and worked hard until liberation.
"See you."
After taking the banknote, the bank manager stood up and left without saying anything polite.
"Guan Zhang, Bingpu Guan Zhang."
Liu Canghai waved his hand and sat down helplessly. How could it be called a military store if there were no more weapons in the store? Sikong couldn't find anyone, and there was no supply of goods. How could he open a store?
Then, the family order came.
It was an order from distribution, and the place of distribution was an extremely remote town.
"Third Master, have a good rest."
Wang De said calmly, turned around and walked away, his back straight, his words "Third Master" were not even the slightest bit respectful, and his tone of voice was not hard to hear the connotation of contempt.
The world is in trouble.
Liu Canghai has no ability to make a comeback and has been sanctioned by his family, which is equivalent to being relegated to the cold palace. People like this, even if they are members of the family, have no future.
He left, and many of his colleagues left too.
When a tree falls and the hozens scatter, the family cannot survive, so they look for another family to make a living.
"good very good."
In the room, Liu Canghai's smile was unknown, whether it was sadness or desolation.
Lost.
In this monopoly business war, he was completely defeated.
Want to return to the family?
I'm afraid it's impossible. After losing so much money, it would be nice not to settle the account with you. Are you still thinking of going back? In this life, don't even think about getting involved in the power of the clan.
He should have understood and understood his identity.
The expatriate children are just puppets of the family from beginning to end.
If it's useful, use it; if it's not, throw it away.
For so many years, he had been deceiving himself and others, dreaming of returning to his clan one day. Only now did he realize that reality is much crueler than fantasy.
The back garden of the Zhao family's military shop is already filled with weapons.
After walking around a lot, everyone who left here came back.
Then, there was the sound of firecrackers.
It's the Zhao family's military store that's opened again. It's very interesting to see the people on the street. It closes every other day and closes every other day.
After looking at the price, many people scolded me.
No wonder they are like this, it's just because the price of weapons has increased: one hundred taels.
Waiting to see the weapons, no one said anything.
What a weapon! It's an absolutely good weapon. Compared with the previous one, it actually has a hint of thunder and lightning, and the thunder patterns on it are quite eye-catching. This alone is worth a hundred taels.
"Yes, I spent all my money to buy it, and it produced good weapons."
"Trade the old for the new, the price is fair." Everyone in the ancient city knows the rules of the Zhao Family Arms Shop. As long as the weapons are ready-made and can be replaced, you can take as many as you have.
"Profiteer."
The old man in sackcloth clasped his hands and glanced at Zhao Yun.
"If you don't have money, where will you get the resources for cultivation?"
Zhao Yun was so exhausted that he built his troops overnight and has not rested since.
He recognizes himself as a profiteer.
Compassion does not govern soldiers, justice does not engage in business, who is not a traitor in business? If there is no business, then there is no traitor! Besides, his arsenal did not use inferior weapons to deceive customers.
The old man in Mai did not deny this.
A weapon with a touch of thunder and lightning is worthy of a price of a hundred taels.
Zhao Yun drank wine and didn't know what he was thinking.
The Liu Family Arms Shop was defeated, and the other party no longer had any weapon refiners. This meant that the supply of goods was fundamentally cut off. If they wanted to establish a monopoly again, they would need double the financial resources of the previous one, because the price had increased to one hundred taels, and there was no one of their own.
Support, without financial assistance from other families, the Liu family military shop alone cannot make a big splash.
Unless they can find a new weapon refiner.
These are no longer important. What is important is that the reputation of the Zhao Family Arms Shop has been established and established. Liu Canghai has accomplished what Liu Canghai tried so hard to do and truly monopolized the weapons business. This business will become bigger and bigger for him.
Not only in Wanggu City, but also in other ancient cities, it will be expanded one after another.
Silver is a good thing.
Half of the future martial arts training resources will depend on it.
