This is Dinghai District, Pingjing City, Dongguo. Two of Dongguo's most famous institutions of higher learning, Chunhua University and Pingjing University, are both nearby. This area can be said to have the best security in the world.
On his way to have this meal, Qingchen killed someone along the way, and there were more than one? Hua Zhenxing thought that his perception might be wrong, or something else might have happened.
Qingchen nodded and said: "Yes, I killed four people. They came for you. Your recent whereabouts are too regular and easy to grasp. They plan to wait for you to finish dinner in the evening and kill them on the way back.
you.
They did not bring guns, but they brought other weapons. In addition to some hardware tools, the most important thing was poisonous needles. Before coming, my master Yu Cangwu said hello and asked me to pay attention to whether anyone will be harmful to you.
If you find something, do it if you can. I also want to remind you. I came here the day before yesterday, and I actually found something. I found out that they were planning to take action tonight, and they are nearby.
They were not important characters, but they were all guilty, so they were dealt with easily."
Hua Zhenxing's expression at this moment is very exciting. Recently, he has always been surrounded by people, mainly when eating. Some of them may have a higher level of cultivation than him. Hua Zhenxing is used to it.
But he didn't expect that there were several killers secretly preparing to kill him, using hardware tools as backup weapons and carrying poisonous injections with them.
Hua Zhenxing has not been followed recently, at least he himself has not noticed it.
Slightly more professional killers will actually not track the assassination target directly like in movies and TV series. They will basically lock the target's whereabouts through other methods.
Hua Zhenxing's recent whereabouts have been too regular. He goes from the side entrance of the school to the Spring Festival Restaurant every day. When he goes back after dinner, it should be the most appropriate time to take action.
Today, the group came with poisonous needles and planned to take action, but unexpectedly they encountered Qingchen..."
Hua Zhenxing asked sheepishly: "Are those four ordinary people?"
Qingchen: "Three of them are ordinary people, but they have good physiques and can be considered skilled. The other one is a trainee magician."
Hua Zhenxing: “What are their origins?”
Qingchen: "I don't know very well, but a man named Qiao Shagao died not long ago. It has something to do with you, and it was them who did it."
Hearing this, Hua Zhenxing already understood that those people were the murderers who killed Qiao Zhaogao. They were hired or assigned by Colonel Maccoby through unknown channels. After they killed Qiao Zhaogao, they really targeted him again.
Three of the four are just ordinary practitioners. Although one of them is a trainee magician, he is only at the third level of cultivation. It is shameful that he, the chief instructor of Yangyuan Valley, has not noticed it yet.
He was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, but his mentality was still too relaxed and he didn't take it seriously at all.
There were too many people "watching" him during these days. In order to show his grace or etiquette, Hua Zhenxing did not use his spiritual consciousness to search for anything. Anyway, they were all Kunlun monks who were curious about him.
But he didn't expect that there was such a thing mixed in. He didn't notice it, but someone must have discovered it, such as Qingchen. In this case, wasn't he a joke that everyone had been watching for half a month?
What's even more pitiable is the four killers. The reason why no one cares about them is just because they haven't taken action yet. It's not illegal to follow Hua Zhenxing secretly. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be breaking the law?
Hua Zhenxing asked again: "People from the East are foreigners?"
Qingchen: "They all carry their ID cards. At least the ID cards show that they are from Dongguo."
Hua Zhenxing: "Since they haven't taken action yet, we can't take the initiative to kill them. Since you have found out the cases they have committed, why don't you knock them all unconscious and throw them in front of the public security bureau?"
But Qingchen shook his head and said: "I found a few of them on the way here to eat, and asked them what they wanted to do with the weapons. They only had a wrench and a screwdriver, but what did they want to do with a poisonous needle?
As a result, they took action first, using lethal methods, so I did not spare their lives. As for what you said about them knocking them unconscious and throwing them at the door of the police station, I can tell you that this case cannot be solved and will only be given to you.
bring trouble.
As for the main messenger behind this group of people, those four people may not know it clearly. But my master said that you should know it very well and know how to deal with it, so that's good."
Yu Cangwu and Qingchen were really a special pair of masters and apprentices. They considered everything for Hua Zhenxing and did all the dirty work for him.
Qingchen is absolutely right. If he knocked those people unconscious and threw them at the door of the public security bureau, would he have to write a note to remind the police? Besides, there was also a trainee magician among the murderers, so it was more suitable for a monk to take action.
Even if the police could find out that they were the murderers of Qiao Zhaogao, and found out that they also planned to kill Hua Zhenxing, they would not be able to solve the case because they could not go to Nilang Country to capture Colonel Maccoby.
But the police will come to Hua Zhenxing to inquire about the case. Although they won't do anything to Hua Zhenxing, it will be quite troublesome. Hua Zhenxing knows who the murderer behind the scenes is and is preparing to eliminate them. Don't let those four guys live.
Hua Zhenxing: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Qingchen, for letting you see the joke!"
Qingchen: "What's so funny about this? You just didn't pay attention. I was just along for the ride."
The fellow Taoist Qingchen in front of me seems to be unsophisticated. If someone else found out about this kind of thing and just warned him in private, how could he care about those four killers with Hua Zhenxing's cultivation level?
But when Qingchen sat down, everything was lost in his words. Hua Zhenxing "meeted" the world's masters here every day, but he didn't even notice that there were several things hiding in the dark trying to assassinate him.
He was careless, he was really careless. Not only was he a little embarrassed, Wang Fengshou and Niu Yiping, who were sitting at the other table, also looked unhappy, and Ye Yining had already left the table in a hurry. Obviously, they didn't notice either.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist! Are you hungry?" Seeing that the food was on the table, Hua Zhenxing quickly changed the subject.
Qingchen said "oh" and started eating, and then didn't say much.
There are very few monks who are unsophisticated, unless they are practicing asceticism or seclusion, or they are not willing to spend their energy on this aspect. It is not that they are not really good at it, they just don't care about it.
But Hua Zhenxing also saw that this Qingchen girl was really not good at people, or at least not good at words, and had an astonishing appetite. This was just like her master.
After dinner, Hua Zhenxing left his contact information as usual, and invited the disciples of Zuohuai Villa to visit Jili Country for guidance. He also imparted the techniques of Yangyuan Technique with his spiritual thoughts.
Qingchen said thank you, and suddenly said: "Xiaobai asked me to give you a message, and I asked you to give it to Yogao Er."
Xiao Bai? Hua Zhenxing was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was probably Bai Shaoliu, the owner of Zuhuai Mountain Villa. He quickly asked: "Does Lord Bai also know Mr. Yue?"
Qingchen: "Let's get to know each other, otherwise you won't let me take the message."
Hua Zhenxing: "Excuse me, what is the identity of Mr. Yue, whom Master Bai knows, and what is his relationship with Zuohuai Villa?"
Qingchen: "I don't know about that! I haven't met Mr. Yue, I just have a few words. If you want to ask, just ask Mr. Yue."
Qingchen said something, and it turned out to be just a simple sentence, without even a spiritual explanation.
After dinner that night, Hua Zhenxing did not go back to school. Instead, he took Wang Fengshou's car to the embassy of several miles away.
Both Wang Fengshou and Lang Xiaomin have something to report, and Hua Zhenxing also needs to connect with Van Dak and others from the Kingdom of Gilly to learn about the latest situation in Yangyuan Valley and the Kingdom of Gilly, and arrange and guide the work.
This was not very convenient in the school dormitory, so he had to come to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan. There was also an office specially prepared for him in the embassy.
Although we are thousands of miles away, today's technology is very convenient and we can conduct remote video conferencing and communicate remotely.
I heard that there is a magic weapon called Xuan Guangjian, which is an imitation of some ancient artifact. It is a pair of mirrors that can allow people thousands of miles apart to communicate with each other as if they are right in front of them.
That is already an incredible magical power, but now with the help of network communication, almost everyone can do it. Of course, this is not the ability of the individual user, but the information industry system of the entire society provides support.
Fan Da Ke was a little "not doing his job properly" some time ago and often stayed in the R&D Department of Yangyuan Valley and refused to come out. Especially after Huazhenxing obtained a batch of ancient demon king remains and Xuan Mizhu and put them in the warehouse, Da Kezi studied these things every day and became obsessed with them.
.
This time, Huazhenxing took advantage of the opportunity of the delegation led by Wuweiwei to go on a visit and lured Vandak out to receive him. Wuwei was Vandak's cousin. According to their hometown dialect, Vandak should call him uncle.
Everyone followed Van Duck's call, so when Wuwei grew up to several miles away, almost all the receptionists called him Uncle Wuwei.
The places that Uncle Wuwei wants to visit are not only Yangyuan Valley and Bikong Island, but also the construction achievements and planning features of the agricultural reclamation area. By the way, he will also visit Mowang City, the capital of the Kingdom of Kilili.
Taking this opportunity, Hua Zhenxing instructed Charles to nominate Van Dyke as Minister of Industry through the People's Committee of the Kingdom of Kiribati. However, Van Dyke himself was a little reluctant, so tonight everyone has to do his ideological work.
Da Kezi has a typical technical geek temperament and likes to stay in bed playing games and doing research. However, Hua Zhenxing advised him that he should go out to experience more of the world and do more meaningful work.
The remains of the Demon King are of great research value, but Vandak's cultivation has just broken through the four realms, and it is not yet ready to study these things. Even for better research in the future, more efforts must be made in cultivation, and all past lives have been cultivation.
Especially the recent opportunity has been rare, and my five-flavor uncle has gone there, so I should take advantage of the opportunity to accompany me and ask for more advice.
After all was said and done, Van Dyke finally agreed to serve as Minister of Industry of the Country of Miles, but stated that he would only serve for one term for the time being, and that he would train deputies who could take over during his tenure.
Hua Zhenxing also told him that as long as he trained a deputy who could take over, even if he only served a half-term job, Huanxiang Industrial's R&D department would be reorganized into Huanxiang Tebang's comprehensive R&D center, and Van Dyke would be in charge in the future.
It's great to like doing research, but only in actual work can you know what problems need to be solved.
For example, how does Bi Fang cook barbecue? Although it is mysterious and difficult to explain, the first thing that must be solved in the work is the issue of fuel security for the people of the country.
After the video conference was held and some other matters were discussed with Wang Fengshou and Lang Xiaomin, Hua Zhenxing just rested for an hour and then returned to school. He was really busy, and he still had two dinner parties today.
Qingchen killed four people, and the bodies were discovered in a secluded place by patrolling policemen in the middle of the night. This incident did not make the news. Hua Zhenxing also heard what Ye Yining said, so this case probably cannot be solved.
Every day's meals were as usual, and the Spring Banquet hall was always full. Even Xiao Yao could tell that these guests might be here because of Hua Zhen's skills, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
One time when ordering food, she quietly asked Hua Zhenxing: "When you come, this place is very full. When you don't come, not even half of the tables are filled. Are they secretly protecting your bodyguards?"
Hua Zhenxing could only shake his head and said: "No, no, I actually don't know them very well."
Hua Zhenxing's deeds are extremely interesting in the Kunlun spiritual world. Even if you can't arrange a dinner at Niu Yiping's place, it doesn't prevent everyone from coming to experience it and have the opportunity to meet fellow Taoists from various sects.
It's very interesting just to listen to Hua Zhenxing's conversations with experts from various sects every day. There are three types of words spoken at the dinner table. One type can be heard by waiters like Xiao Yao, the second type can only be heard clearly by monks, and the third type is
Private thoughts.
What everyone mainly listened to was the second type of conversation. For example, the exchange between Qingchen and Hua Zhenxing that day was very interesting. Qingchen, the legendary top master of Zuohuai Villa, was rarely seen by Kunlun colleagues on weekdays.
Hua Zhenxing comes to the Chunguang Banquet for ten meals a week, counting only lunch and dinner. In fact, there are four meals he doesn't come to.
By that time, the private rooms upstairs at the Spring Festival Banquet were almost fully booked, and monks from various sects who "happened to pass by" also took the opportunity to eat, drink and communicate together.
Hua Zhenxing had been at the Spring Feast for more than a month and had ordered most of the various dishes. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, he sent out reservation invitations to the newly made monks from various sects.
After he has finished the seventy-seven dishes of the Spring Festival Banquet, Huanxiang Industrial's "Jilidong Chinese Cuisine" will be opened the next day. No other guests will be received on the first day of opening, but all Kunlun monks will be invited to taste it.
The business area of Jilidong Chinese Cuisine is not small, with a total of three floors. Half of the first and second floors are scattered tables, and the rest are private rooms, which can accommodate more than 300 people for dining at the same time.
There are more than 300 Kunlun monks who are interested, so all the dirty work has been entrusted to Director Niu. First, contact and register to see who will come to support. By then, Jilidong's national cuisine will be well served and a thank you gift will be given.
Hua Zhenxing made a big deal this time. He prepared three hundred boxes of Chunrong Pills.
Nowadays, the production capacity of Chunrong Dan is not a problem for the time being. There is a Nine-turn Purple Gold Furnace Array based on the Nine-turn Purple Gold Pill. As long as a sixth-level Yuan Master can use it to refine the Chunrong Pill, the daily output is 27
box.
If it were replaced by a seventh-level Yuan Yuan Shu master like Sima Shui, the daily output could reach 81 boxes.
But it is uneconomical to let Sima Zhu use the Nine-turn Purple Gold Furnace Formation. There are a group of sixth-level Yuan Yang masters in Yangyuan Valley, but there are only two seventh-level Yuan Yangshu masters, namely him and Hua Zhenxing.
Sima Zhui can also use the Blue Sky Washing Formation to refine the Spring Rong Pill, and the production capacity can also reach 81 boxes per day.
Before Hua Zhenxing left Jili Country, he worked overtime to refine Chunrong Dan and had already saved a lot.
At present, it seems that the general agent agreement he signed with Yogor is a bit conservative. Even after one revision, the agreed annual shipment volume is only 1,100 boxes.
No matter how far-sighted Hua Zhenxing is, he never expected the current situation. Currently, what limits the production capacity of Chunrong Dan is no longer the Nine-turn Purple Gold Furnace Formation, nor the cultivation of the instructors in Yangyuan Valley, but what the Chunrong Dan Center can provide.
Raw materials.
According to the latest statistics from Lian Na, the current supply of self-produced raw materials that the Chunrong Dan Center can guarantee can meet about 10,000 boxes per year, and it will continue to increase next year.
However, the current supply limit of raw materials can theoretically only guarantee an annual output of about 20,000 boxes.
If you want to continue to expand the scale of production capacity, you must not only continue to train personnel and build new blue sky washing arrays, but also create a new material resource supply base. This is a systematic project, and it is difficult to achieve an order of magnitude breakthrough in the short term.
Huazhen Xingren was in Dongguo and also contacted Yugao Er, hoping to meet and discuss and revise the Chunrong Dan exclusive agency agreement. Of course he would not go back on his word and cancel Yue Gaoer's general agent qualification, but he would increase shipments.
.
The most important reason was that Huazhenxing was short of money, and he already felt that money was very tight.
One thousand one hundred boxes of Chun Yong Dan can bring him an income of 22 billion Dongguo currency every year. He thought it was a lot, but now it seems that it is far from enough.
