The actual management rights were given to Wan Tianpeng and Duan Long.
The three families are mutually beneficial and develop steadily. Zhou Yuan's purpose of doing this is partly for the family's interests.
If there is a conflict during this period, the Zhou family can withdraw its investment at any time, and no one will benefit by then.
Soon, the three parties with a clear division of labor began to purchase goods, buy and sell separately, and even set up an auction house. The final income was managed by the Zhou family.
In this way, Xingyun Company has completely established itself in Tianluo City.
Ivan never had any intention of coming, so Zhou Yuan naturally wouldn't force it.
When General Mengtuo sent by Yun Chen arrived, it was already two months later.
Mengtuo was very low-key and did not fly in the sky. He always pretended to be an ordinary person along the way. He even almost missed Zhou Yuan when he went to greet him outside the city in person.
The last time Meng Tuo stayed at the City Lord's Mansion, it was so high-profile that the people of Tianluo City are still talking about the general's deeds of protecting the Zhou family.
But this time, Meng Tuo obviously didn't want to show off or disturb Luo Fengtian anymore.
When entering Tianluo City, Mengtuo even deliberately concealed his aura and wore a cloak.
It wasn't until he entered the Zhou family's residence that Zhou Yuan saw his appearance clearly.
In the Zhou family's meeting hall, Mengtuo took off his cloak, revealing a middle-aged man with a sinewy face, gray hair, and a fierce look in his eyes.
He is worthy of being a strong man in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Just by standing there, he has an impressive aura.
Zhou Yuan once heard from Yun Chen that Meng Tuo was a fierce general in the army.
"Greetings to General Mengtuo." Zhou Yuan and Zhou Canghai immediately bowed to the middle-aged man with clasped fists.
As for General Mengtuo, Zhou Canghai had met him once before and naturally recognized him, so he specially sent away other ancestors in the family and only spread the news that the Zhou family only recruited a guest minister.
Meng Tuo smiled faintly, with a touch of kindness on his fierce face, "You did a good job by not letting others disturb me. I will follow the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince to protect your Zhou family again. From now on, you will continue to be as usual, no need to
If you pay too much attention to me, if something happens, I will know it immediately."
Before coming, Yun Chen mentioned Zhou Yuan's situation to him.
Therefore, Meng Tuo also knew the purpose of his coming.
As long as King Anyang and Yun Zheng don't come in person, he has the right to kill no matter who comes to cause trouble for the Zhou family.
As for Prince Anyang and Yun Cheng, one was a royal family member and the other was a current prince. They, as generals, did not dare to kill them at will.
Zhou Yuan clasped his fists respectfully and said: "I thank the general here first. My father has already cleared a garden deep in the mansion. The general will live there in the following days. No one will go there without my father's permission."
Excuse me, General."
"That's very good." Monto smiled.
Without hesitation immediately, Zhou Yuan led Meng Tuo into the garden, and Meng Tuo went to rest alone.
Zhou Yuan felt that this Meng Tuo was definitely a person with a bold personality and strong strength. He guessed that the reason why Emperor Yun placed him next to Yun Chen was because he was worried that other princes would maliciously persecute Yun Chen.
Although Emperor Yun was not optimistic about Yun Chen as the crown prince, he hoped that other princes could take the crown prince's position from Yun Chen with their true abilities.
It's just that Yunchen sent Meng Tuo here to protect the Zhou family, but Zhou Yuan was worried about Yunchen's safety.
Of course, Yun Chen's strength has exploded, and he is now at the ninth level of foundation building, and no one knows about his changes yet, so he can play a game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
The following days were still peaceful, and there was no movement from Xingyue Tower and King Anyang.
No one knew that Meng Tuo lived in the Zhou family's mansion. It was just rumored that the Zhou family had recruited a strong man to be their guest.
When nothing happened, Zhou Yuan did not dare to disturb Meng Tuo. He just walked around the entire Tianluo City every once in a while, asking whether the Xingyue Tower and King Anyang had sent anyone to Tianluo City.
Occasionally, he would visit Xingyun Store and spend some time teaching Wan Xiaohai how to practice.
The days passed day by day.
It was not until this day that Ivan secretly sent someone to send news that the left envoy from the main building was about to arrive in Tianluo City and he was ordered to receive him.
Zhou Yuan also specifically told Ivan not to expose himself, otherwise he would definitely be dead.
Sure enough, the next day, the Zhou family spies sent by Zhou Yuan came to report that some strangers had entered the city.
Zhou Yuan guessed that these strangers were probably Xing Tianqi and others.
On that day, Xing Tianqi did not go directly to the Zhou family to find Zhou Yuan. Instead, he went to Ivan's place first, took a short rest for a day, and then went to the Zhou family in person the next day.
Xing Tianqi was still polite as always. He knocked on the door, and Zhou Yuan opened the door.
At the same time, in the back garden of the Zhou family residence, Meng Tuo, who was meditating with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes, and the aura gradually rose from his body.
However, Mengtuo did not take action immediately, but silently observed the old man who came to the door.
"Xingyue Tower's left envoy Xing Tianqi?" Meng Tuo narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that even he would come here in person. It seems that this little boy Zhou Yuan has offended Xingyue Tower to death, but if you want
If you make things difficult for Zhou Yuan, I, the general, will not agree."
The entrance to the Zhou family's mansion.
Xing Tianqi looked as amiable as ever, like a kind old grandfather.
But behind this smile, there is hidden murderous intent.
Ever since Zhou Yuan rejected him at the port of the imperial capital, he had already had thoughts of killing.
"How about it, little friend Zhou Yuan, do you still remember me?" Xing Tianqi said with a smile.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the two people behind Xing Tianqi, then looked at Xing Tianqi and said: "Of course I remember, Zuo Envoy of Xingyue Tower. I am very puzzled that you are so low-key when you come to Tianluo City."
The two people behind Xing Tianqi were a strong man in a bamboo hat and a woman covered with a veil. Their auras were not weak. They were none other than Dharma King Youtai and Youhua.
Including Xing Tianqi, these three people are all at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. However, when they came to Tianluo City, they did not attract much attention. They were as low-key as when Meng Tuo first came.
Xing Tianqi did not answer this question, but kept staring at Zhou Yuan.
"This time, I still give you two choices. Either you die in front of us to save us from taking action, and then we will take your head back to the imperial capital, or we take action and spend some effort to kill you.
, during this period, it is very likely that your family will be affected."
When Xing Tianqi spoke, the smile on his face never disappeared.
He looked gentle, but the words he spoke revealed unquestionable majesty.
Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Sure enough, the left envoy of Xingyue Tower really wanted his own life this time and would not give him any hope of rebirth.
Either choice will lead to death.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Yuan then said calmly: "Master Zuo, I will leave my family tomorrow and go to Northern Xinjiang. If you want me to die, you can come after me then. I want my life and death to be decided by God.
.”
Hearing this, Xing Tianqi's eyes flashed slightly and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yuan.
"In order to prevent the people of Tianluo City from suffering, you actually made such a decision. Then I would like to see if you can escape from my hands."
Xing Tianqi was still smiling.
Foundation-building level warriors can destroy houses one after another in a battle in the city.
Not to mention those who are strong in the spirit transformation realm, the entire Tianluo City may be reduced to ruins if they just raise their hands.
However, Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "On the one hand, in order to prevent the people from suffering, on the other hand, my Zhou family has recently recruited a guest. It is not easy for you to kill me, so I proposed that you go
If you chase me on the road to northern Xinjiang, you might have a chance to bring back my head."
"What a joke. How can a small and remote family recruit such powerful guests?" Hearing this, the beautiful veiled woman laughed softly.
The burly man wearing a bamboo hat next to him was a little angry and immediately scolded: "Boy, you are looking for death."
Zhou Yuan's words were very provocative, and even Xing Tianqi's smile froze.
Youhua is right. Even if a small local family spends money to recruit a powerful guest minister, in their eyes, it is just an ant. There is no need to worry at all.
"In that case, I will first kill the guest you are talking about, and then I will deal with you."
No matter how patient Xing Tianqi was, he was a little angry at this moment, because he had given enough to Zhou Yuan from beginning to end, but Zhou Yuan had always been ignorant of current affairs and even made provocations.
The next moment, Xing Tianqi's consciousness spread directly, covering the entire Zhou family mansion in the blink of an eye.
Almost instantly, his consciousness and Meng Tuo's consciousness collided with each other.
At the same time, there was a silent roar in the minds of both of them, like two overwhelming waves in the sea colliding in an instant.
Sometimes, between strong men, just one thought can determine the outcome.
At this moment, his consciousness collided with that of Meng Tuo, and their minds were spinning rapidly, roughly guessing the opponent's strength.
Wow!
Xing Tianqi thought and quickly withdrew his consciousness.
"A warrior in the spirit transformation realm?" Xing Tianqi had a stiff smile on his face, showing a look of surprise.
Youhua and Youtai behind him were also shocked. None of the three of them expected that the guest minister recruited by the Zhou family turned out to be a warrior in the spirit transformation realm.
Of course, Xing Tianqi didn't know that the other party was General Mengtuo.
But in any case, Xing Tianqi hesitated at this moment. He didn't know how strong the opponent was. If they really fought, even though there were three of them, they might not be able to defeat him. After all, Xing Tianqi was only at the fifth level of the spiritual realm.
And he guessed that this guest of the Zhou family might have a cultivation level of more than fifth level.
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Xing Tianqi chose to compromise.
He looked at Zhou Yuan and said immediately: "In that case, when will you leave for Northern Xinjiang tomorrow?"
"Leave early in the morning." Zhou Yuandao.
"Okay, then I'll look for you on the way to Northern Xinjiang. I won't stop you from leaving the family, and I won't stop you from leaving Tianluo City. But as soon as you leave Tianluo City, I will hunt you down.
You, I hope you mean what you say and don't pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
Xing Tianqi spoke immediately. He was afraid that before Zhou Yuan left, he would take the guest with him and pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger to kill them.
"Don't worry, this guest of mine only protects the Zhou family members."
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly.
Xing Tianqi nodded, then turned and left, followed closely by Youhua and Youtai.
In Xing Tianqi's view, as long as Zhou Yuan leaves, the Zhou family's guest minister will not be able to protect Zhou Yuan if he wants to protect the Zhou family. He thinks that Zhou Yuan will probably sacrifice his life for the family this time.
But he didn't know that not long after he left, the smile on Zhou Yuan's face dimmed.
Immediately, Zhou Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart was immediately put down.
Previously at Ivan's place, he had already learned that Xing Tianqi's true cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
As for General Mengtuo, he is only at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
There is a world of difference between the two. If the two sides really started fighting just now, Meng Tuo would definitely not be Xing Tianqi's opponent. This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yuan took the initiative to open the door and proposed to leave the family tomorrow and rush to Northern Xinjiang.
Only if he leads Xing Tianqi away can General Mengtuo not be in danger.
The Zhou family needs Mengtuo's protection, mainly from King Anyang...
Xingyue Tower will not implicate Zhou Yuan's relatives, but King Anyang is not sure, and Jing Xian is the best example.
No matter who King Anyang sends to cause trouble, General Mengtuo will have a way to solve it.
