Chapter 1714 With the help of the Chamber of Commerce
The Yuncai Chamber of Commerce is a medium-sized chamber of commerce in the Xuanwu Empire.
To say that it is not big, it can be found in almost all the major cities in the empire. If it is to be said that it is big, you cannot see the shadow of the Fortune Merchant Guild on almost any main street of any city.
After all, the so-called chamber of commerce trades a wide variety of goods, and the type of transaction is by no means just clearly marked prices, payment, and pickup. In addition to occasionally holding some auctions, it also accepts some orders for refining medicine and weapon refining.
It is completed by the alchemists and weapon refiners in the Chamber of Commerce.
In this way, the Chamber of Commerce will not be just a small facade in any city. Since the space required is not small, it will naturally require a large amount of money to purchase a branch of the trading company in a city.
For ordinary trading companies, it is not easy to set up a storefront on a main street. It would be better to locate it in a slightly remote location where many small trading companies gather.
This kind of trading company is usually not very eye-catching, and it will not be noticed by too many people. The Yuncai Trading Company is such a situation. It is not eye-catching, but it is scattered like mercury across the entire Xuanwu territory, and even in the main cities of the surrounding empires.
It is such a small trading company, but no one knows that there is a super power behind it. Back then, the Yao family split into three branches: Yao Tuozi and Yao Xun. The power behind this fortune trading company was the Yao sect.
After the Yao family split, Yao Tuozi defected to the empire and gradually became stronger with Xuan Hong's strong support. However, Yaoxun's lineage almost escaped into the elixir mountain range, and only the sect Yao Sect composed of collateral families of the Yao family,
Form your own force within the empire.
Every force that wants to develop cannot do without economic and material support. Just like Zuojia Village back then, when it was outside the Tianping Mountains, it was always limited to the size of a village.
However, after entering Yancheng, Zuojiacun finally began to develop into a powerful force, and the younger generations of the family were able to quickly improve their cultivation and enter a growing track.
The Medicine Sect has grown rapidly in these years, otherwise Yaoxun would not have secretly contacted the Medicine Sect and reached an agreement with the Medicine Sect before the incident in the Imperial Capital.
With the support of Yao Sect's alchemy skills, coupled with Yao Sect's own level of military force, we can understand why Yuncai Trading Co., Ltd. was able to establish branches in major cities.
However, the complete merger of the Yao family happened more than a month ago. After that, the merged Yao family was busy with external conquests and competing for resources with other families, and had no time to pay attention to the trading company.
Therefore, Yuncai Trading Company is still developing according to its original trajectory. In the past few months, it has become even more low-key than before. As a result, no one has noticed this trading company.
At this time, the person in charge of the Yuncai Trading Co., Ltd. in Kuacheng was discussing important matters with his subordinates behind closed doors. The person in charge of the trading company was about thirty years old, with his hair tied up meticulously, and he looked like a smart and capable man.
people.
"Shop Manager Meng, although the information cannot be confirmed, two of us have already found out that the person who entered Kuocheng a few days ago is probably the young lady and the girl from the Yao family. Should we send someone to investigate again?"
A young man who looked like a waiter spoke softly, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
The middle-aged man known as "Shopkeeper Meng" nodded and said: "If only one person said it, it would not be credible, but now that we have received news from two sources, we really need to pay attention.
Although the eldest lady and the girls from the Yao family should not appear in Kuocheng at this time, we do not rule out any unexpected changes. It is a pity that we cannot contact the sect...and the family now, otherwise we would not be so passive."
Shopkeeper Meng was originally from the Medicine Sect and had been working for the Medicine Sect for a long time. Now that the Medicine Sect has returned to the family, he still uses the original title somewhat smoothly.
Being surrounded by close confidants, I didn’t think there was anything special about it. Another young man also nodded and agreed: “Now most chambers of commerce and small forces have reached an agreement with the city lord Guo Tong.
If you let go, it will probably arouse the suspicion of Guo Tong and other forces."
Nodding, Shopkeeper Meng said helplessly: "If we get together with Guo Tong and the others, we are very likely to become enemies with several other super families in the future. I can accept the attack on the Guihua family, but I have to deal with King Su.
If the two families take action, it will be difficult for the family in the future."
"The shopkeeper has indeed thought carefully, but if we don't take refuge with Guo Tong at this time, I'm afraid our survival will be a problem." A woman's voice suddenly sounded, and the three people at the table reacted immediately.
Captain Meng's spiritual energy burst out, and he pulled out a long sword with a flip of his hand. At the same time, the other two young people also stood up vigilantly. At the same time that the three people's spiritual energy was released, the cultivation level of Shopkeeper Meng's nurturing period was also released without reservation.
come out.
"who!"
"come out."
The two young men shouted angrily, but did not actually take action. Instead, they tightly protected Shopkeeper Meng from both sides in the center.
At this time, Shopkeeper Meng held the long sword tightly and said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency, there is no need to hide. Our Yuncai Trading Co., Ltd. has just decided to agree to the request of City Lord Guo Tong. From now on, we are all in the same boat."
Although he was saying this, Shopkeeper Meng moved his lips slightly, as if he was whispering to the two young people beside him. However, the two young people did not react at all, as if they did not hear what Shopkeeper Meng said.
Shopkeeper Meng looked anxious.
"Haha, they all say that the Yao family is a very loyal and loyal person, and when I saw him today, the rumors turned out to be true."
The chuckle sounded again, and then the window seemed to be blown open gently by the wind, and a pretty figure walked through the window and landed lightly in the house.
The first time he saw the woman, Shopkeeper Meng's pupils shrank sharply, and then he reacted, hastily discarding the sword in his hand, and reached forward with both hands to grab it hard.
At the same time as he took action, the two young men beside him also moved and rushed towards the woman who had just entered. However, as soon as they took half a step, shopkeeper Meng grabbed their shoulders fiercely.
I can no longer move even half a step.
"Brother Meng, you go first, let's stop this person."
"Brother, we can't die together. She knows our details and can't stay in the city any longer."
Although the two young men were caught by Shopkeeper Meng, they struggled to break free and said anxiously.
Seeing the two young men looking like this, Shopkeeper Meng also had a touch of emotion on his face, and said with a wry smile: "She is not someone sent by Guo Tong, so you don't need to fight hard. If she wants to keep me, even if
It’s because you two used violent energy to disintegrate her, but it’s of no use, she is a super strong person in the nurturing period.”
The two young men who were struggling to break free couldn't help but be stunned. Then they looked at the woman up and down with dull eyes for a while, and then turned to look at Shopkeeper Meng. Seeing Shopkeeper Meng nodding with certainty, the two of them dispersed with dejected expressions.
The aura lingering outside the body.
The woman has a voluptuous figure, but has long chestnut hair and light blue eyes. Anyone can tell at a glance that she comes from the prairie.
"Don't be too nervous. Someone you trust asked me to come find you." The woman spoke softly and threw something out with a slight shake of her palm.
Without using any force, the thrown object drew an elegant arc in the air, allowing the three of them to see it clearly, and then slowly landed in front of Shopkeeper Meng.
Shopkeeper Meng, who had already seen what it was, stretched out his hand with some trembling to catch the thrown object in his hand. It was a piece of dark brown wood, with countless herbal patterns carved all over the body. The surface seemed to have been rubbed for a long time and changed.
Got to be very smooth.
Without needing to identify it too carefully, Shopkeeper Meng said excitedly and tremblingly: "Yes, it is the eldest lady's token. You, how can you have something belonging to the eldest lady? She, she is doing well now."
The woman who just arrived is Ikari, and the token she throws out is naturally Duan Yueyao's. This is the highest token in the medicine sect, and there are only a few pieces in the entire medicine sect, so shopkeeper Meng can recognize it at a glance.
Nodding, Ikari said with a smile: "Although she is not free now, her current situation is pretty good. At least she is safer than most people in the city."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Meng didn't understand what was going on, Ikari didn't show off and briefly introduced Duan Yueyao's situation, and then briefly explained her purpose of coming and Duan Yueyao's explanation.
When he heard that Duan Yueyao had fallen into the hands of the Lin family warriors, Shopkeeper Meng was extremely excited. However, after understanding the specific situation, Shopkeeper Meng felt a little relieved.
Later, regarding the matters arranged by Duan Yueyao, Shopkeeper Meng nodded without hesitation and said: "No problem, give me the formation jade."
Seeing Shopkeeper Meng's appearance like this, Ikari couldn't help but be startled, and then she realized that the other party trusted Duan Yueyao too much, which was why he agreed so happily.
Reaching out to take the formation jade from Ikari's hand, Shopkeeper Meng said with a smile: "I was worried about how to join Guo Tong's camp before, but now I have the best meeting gift. I believe that with this Guo Tong will definitely
Trust me very much."
After being slightly stunned, Ikari couldn't help but said: "The contents of this formation jade must be handed over to the hands of the ghost painting family, and it is best to fall into the hands of the painter."
Nodding, Shopkeeper Meng said: "It shouldn't be a problem. Although Guo Tong has made it clear that he has drawn a clear line with the four Suwang ghost paintings, this is just a way for Guo Tong to win over other small forces.
As far as I know, Guo Tong has secret contacts with the heads of the four companies, especially the intelligence, which has been sold to him a lot during this period, so this old boy should have gained a lot."
Hearing this, Yikari admired Duan Yueyao even more. She didn't say this to herself at the time, but she should have expected what Guo Tong did.
"Then are you sure that the information inside the jade array can be handed over to the artist?" Ikari couldn't help but ask in the end.
With a confident smile, Shopkeeper Meng nodded and said: "Before handing this array of jade to Guo Tong, I will secretly send someone to reveal this matter to the painter, so naturally it will be 100% sure!"
Ikari, who was still a little worried at first, was completely relieved now. Shopkeeper Meng in front of her was indeed as calm and capable as Duan Yueyao said.
