Luoyi, the eastern capital, was the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties. Nowadays, this ancient city is quite prosperous. It is not inferior to Shuntian and Yingtian. Similarly, the forces that can take root in this ancient city are all from different walks of life.
Very prestigious in all walks of life.
Huo Yunqi chose to make a comeback in Dongdu, and naturally he had his own considerations. Although Zhujian Villa is gone, the connections accumulated by the Huo family back then are still there.
Huo Tianya fell into madness at the beginning and offended all the forces in the world in Wangjian Tower, but in the end there was still something left.
As the previous head of the family, despite the consequences, everything Huo Tianya did was a huge failure. He squandered the family wealth just for his own selfish desires. His final crazy act also led to the demise of the Huo family.
However, it is not right to say that Huo Tianya has never done anything right in his life, because although this person has evil intentions, the image he once established of being generous with money and making friends all over the world actually exists.
The special nature of the Wanling Sword requires Huo Tianya to constantly win over strong people, but not all martial arts masters are willing to succumb to others, so he often encounters the embarrassing situation of spending money but not recruiting people back.
However, although these people declined Zhujian Villa's solicitation, they mostly felt the goodwill shown by Huo Tianya, which can be regarded as a bad intention for a good thing.
These failed attempts to win over have now become Huo Yunqi's last trump card, because although this group of people rejected his uncle's kindness, they had received more or less favors from his uncle.
Even if he is not a great benefactor, he still has a little love and affection. It is with the help of this group of people that Huo Yunqi can gain a firm foothold in Dongdu.
Of course, in addition to the remaining traces of the Huo family, the changes in the Eastern Capital itself also became an important reason for Huo Yunqi to take over.
The Eastern Capital has been peaceful for many years. Although the territories of the various forces are intertwined, due to the mutual understanding of each other, there has never been too intense a fight.
Under such circumstances, the cakes in Dongdu have been basically divided. Even if Huo Yunqi comes in, he will only be able to survive with some leftovers. Reviving the Huo family is just a pipe dream.
Huo Yunqi is not an incompetent person. He is young and passionate. Although the demise of Zhujian Villa has dealt a heavy blow to him, it has not completely knocked him down. He has the ambition to revive the family in his heart.
He chose Dongdu this time not because he planned to retire here, but precisely because major changes had occurred here.
A major force in the Eastern Capital, the Rising Sun Escort Bureau, has disappeared. A large vacuum has appeared out of thin air in the distribution of forces in this ancient city. This is Huo Yunqi's opportunity.
On the surface, the Rising Sun Escort Bureau is an ordinary small force, but in private, he has used some method to get on the path of Yuwen, a top family in the world, and has become the leader of all forces in the Eastern Capital.
Regarding the demise of the Rising Sun Escort Agency, Huo Yunqi did not find any information, but from the few words of people in the city, he could roughly infer that the Escort Agency had provoked some forces that should not be provoked, so it was uprooted.
But these have nothing to do with Huo Yunqi. The disappearance of the Rising Sun Escort Agency gave him the opportunity and willingness to enter the scene. Dongdu, which had been dormant for a long time, has already changed drastically due to this incident, and all forces are gearing up to fight overtly and covertly.
Huo Yunqi relied on the last trace of connections between the Huo family and the Zhujian Villa to successfully squeeze into this brawl. This was his first battle, and it was also a decisive battle concerning his final fate.
If they win, the Huo family will have a firm foothold in the Eastern Capital and officially embark on the road to revival. After a few generations, it may not be impossible to regain the glory of their ancestors. If they lose, the Huo family will no longer have the power to make a comeback and will disappear in the world.
"Everyone, this is the critical moment for our Huo family to fight hard. Yun Qi knows that his talents are shallow, so I ask you to give me a helping hand."
After Huo Yunqi said this, he bowed deeply and bowed deeply. Everyone below him returned the bow one after another. They all looked excited and swore loudly that they would not let down the trust of the family master.
Everyone here is the last remaining strength of his Huo family. After experiencing the destruction of Zhujian Villa and the denunciation of most of the world, those who are still willing to follow his Huo family are all the old people in the family.
Facing this group of people, whether they were relatives of his family, stewards, or groomsmen, Huo Yunqi treated them all with courtesy and never slacked off.
As the former young master of the village, Huo Yunqi is undoubtedly talented as the current head of the Huo family. At the same time, he is also a very smart person. He especially knows how to get the full support of others without spending a penny on rules and respect.
.
When he is the head of a family, and these people in front of him are just servants or even slaves of his family, the respectful attitude shown by Huo Yunqi is enough to make these people feel a sense of mission that arises spontaneously in their hearts.
It gives rise to a sense of honor that one can devote oneself to the family and die for the head of the family.
After explaining his family members, Huo Yunqi immediately set off to visit an important guest.
"My nephew has met Uncle Wu."
Huo Yunqi arrived at a private room in the Baihua Building in the city. A middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and a long beard saw him coming. He smiled and ordered someone to bring him a cup of tea: "My nephew is here, sit down quickly."
This man's name was Wu Beitian, and people who knew him well called him Shopkeeper Wu. Wu Beitian was an authentic businessman who often traveled to foreign countries in the Western Regions to conduct trade, and brought exotic gadgets from outside to the Central Plains to sell.
In his early years, Shopkeeper Wu traveled all over the country. Although he was in good health, he did not know much about martial arts. The journey to the Western Region was long and full of crises. He was often disturbed by bandits and horse bandits, so he had to recruit some martial arts masters to ensure his safety.
.
The friendship with Shopkeeper Wu was established by a knight who had been favored by Sword Making Villa, but the Huo family and Shopkeeper Wu actually had some friendship themselves.
Zhujian Villa is located in the northwest, just on the road that Shopkeeper Wu must pass, so he has also visited the Huo family, but because he was not well-known at that time, he never caught Huo Tianya's eyes.
"I wonder what important matter my uncle has for inviting my nephew to come here?" Huo Yunqi's attitude, but there was some unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
The reputation of merchants in the Shilin court was not good, and they were also disliked by people in the world. Businessmen were greedy for wealth and unjust, which was far from the chivalry of the world. Most chivalrous people looked down upon them.
However, at this time, Huo Yunqi was no longer qualified to choose anything. The Fuxing family was overwhelming him, and this conflicting thought was deeply hidden in his heart.
Shopkeeper Wu liked the way Huo Yunqi looked respectful in front of him very much. He knew the identity of the other party. Because of this, seeing the once unattainable young master of the Huo family groveling in front of him made him feel strange.
sense of pleasure.
However, he called Huo Yunqi today not just to satisfy his boring little thoughts, but because he had something serious to discuss with him.
"My dear nephew, the current situation in the Eastern Capital is turbulent. If your Huo family wants to get involved, you can't do it without someone's help." Shopkeeper Wu assumed the posture of a senior, and his tone was filled with pride.
"Yes, Yunqi understands, and I would like to ask my uncle for advice." Huo Yunqi lowered his head and clasped his fists, as if he was listening to the instructions.
Shopkeeper Wu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I invited you here today to introduce you to a friend. He once did some weapons business in the world, and then retired for a while. Now he has come back again, and he is in need of help.
