Chapter 59: Eight Major Families "Brother Lingfeng, this is your first time in Kyoto, so you probably don't know many places well. Since we are our own people, let me tell you about some situations in Kyoto." Several people sat down. , not paying attention to the other people. Xu Ning looked at Ling Feng and said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Xu. I have always wanted to find someone to ask about things in Kyoto. But now it saves me the time to ask others." Ling Feng nodded and said to Xu Ning.
"The main families in Kyoto are Xuanyuan, Long, Xu, Han, Lu, Huangfu, Shen, and Xue. As mentioned before, Xuanyuan is a royal family, and the Long family has been generals for generations and has been fighting against the demon clan." He glanced at it. Xu Ning said to Ling Feng about Xuanyuan Wan'er and Long Fei.
"Our Xu family, Han, Shen, and Huangfu families are mainly engaged in business, but each family's business products are different. Brother Lingfeng, you must also know that our Xu family is mainly engaged in auction houses. The Shen family is mainly engaged in talismans. The master of seal script is the same as our Xu family, and the 'Tianfu Pavilion' they run is unrivaled in the entire Seven Star Continent."
"The Huangfu family mainly focuses on medicinal materials and elixirs, and the business of 'Wanyaozhai' is even more popular than our 'Yun's Auction House'. Those low-level elixirs can be bought in 'Wanyaozhai' Yes, you have to spend at least 20% more money to buy it in the auction house, and 'Wanyao Zhai' has a very strong network of contacts. After all, so many high-level alchemists are not just decorations."
"As for Sister Shuang'er, the Han family mainly focuses on weapons and forging materials. We all got our weapons from Sister Shuang'er. They are much better than what our family gave us.' Qianbing Pavilion 'Like other families' properties, they are spread throughout the Seven Star Continent."
"What about the Lu family and the Xue family? How did they gain a foothold in Kyoto?" After hearing that Xu Ning had already introduced several major industries on the mainland, Ling Feng was really curious about how the Lu family and the Xue family could gain a foothold in Kyoto. The title of the eight major families. So he asked Xu Ning before he could say anything.
"The Lu family belongs to the royal family just like the Long family, but they are civil servants. The prime minister has been the prime minister for generations. Do you think the status in Kyoto can be low? It's just that we all hate the Prime Minister's Mansion. They often have trouble with the Long family. If the Long family hadn't dealt with the demon clan, I'm afraid the demon clan would have come to Kyoto. The person just now is Lu Fang, the youngest son of the prime minister."
"This Lu Fang has not liked literature since he was a child, but prefers martial arts. He is the youngest son. The prime minister allowed him to abandon literature and join martial arts, but he was extremely arrogant. You just offended him, and he will probably find you after entering the martial arts academy. You are in trouble because there are not a few people who belong to his Lu family in the martial arts academy."
"How do you say this? Isn't the Lu family a civil servant?" Although Ling Feng was shocked when he learned Lu Fang's identity, Ling Feng did not understand why there were people from the Lu family in the martial arts academy.
"Do you think the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are just a bunch of weak scholars? In fact, there are many practitioners in the Lu family, but everyone who wants to succeed the family head looks like a scholar. But it is said that the Prime Minister is actually a practitioner and his strength is not high. Low, otherwise how could you dare to go against the General's Mansion." Xu Ning rolled his eyes at Ling Feng and explained.
Naturally, Ling Feng, who had never been in contact with anything involving officialdom, knew nothing about it. Ling Feng nodded awkwardly and asked, "What about the Xue family?"
"The Xue family does not have any property and does not belong to the royal family, but there is a saying among mercenaries that 'you can offend any of them but not the Xue family'. The reason is that the Xue family controls the Assassin's Alliance." Be careful.
After looking around, Xu Ning whispered. It could be seen that even he was afraid of the Xue family.
"Assassin's Alliance? What is that?" Suddenly hearing something new, Ling Feng couldn't help but ask, regardless of Xu Ning's fear of the Xue family.
"Actually, in addition to the eight major families in Kyoto, there are several powerful forces, even above the eight major families. But because they do not belong to the same family, these forces cannot be counted among the eight major families. Otherwise, our 'Yun's Auction House' would definitely
I no longer belong to the eight major families." Without answering Ling Feng's question directly, Xu Ning said something to Ling Feng that surprised Ling Feng.
"What force can be stronger than the 'Yun's Auction House'?" Knowing the strength of the auction house, Ling Feng really couldn't think of any force that could compare to the auction house.
"Although the Alchemist Guild, the Weapon Refiner Guild, the Talisman Master Guild and the Mercenary Guild do not belong to any one family, their strength is definitely stronger than that of the Assassin Alliance. Do you think they can compare with us?
A family that mainly engages in business." He sighed. Although he didn't want to admit it, the appeal of those guilds was unmatched by any of the families.
In fact, strictly speaking, Ling Feng belongs to the mercenary guild. After all, he is a member of the 'Breaking Sky Mercenary Group'. After nodding, Ling Feng understood why the Xue family can be regarded as one of the eight major families. He also understood that sentence.
That makes sense.
It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden one. That's what I mean. If you offend other families, you may still escape death, but if you offend the Xue family, there will be endless assassinations waiting for you. Even if you can escape once
Twice, you can't hide forever. The final solution is death.
"Brother Ling Feng, there are still ten days left until the enrollment period. What are you going to do?" After talking about some situations in Kyoto, Xu Ning looked at Ling Feng who was thinking and asked.
"I originally planned to go to Kyoto tomorrow to learn about the situation, but now it seems that there is no need. I plan to buy a weapon to prepare for the enrollment in ten days." With a slight smile, Ling Feng nodded to Xu Ning and said.
.
"In that case, it's not too early today. Tomorrow we will go to Kyoto with Brother Lingfeng. Although the academy is not in Kyoto, if you want to buy something in the future, you will have to come here. It's always good to be familiar with it.
"As for the weapon you want, are you afraid that you won't be able to get it with Sister Shuang'er here?" Looking at the sky, he realized that it was already very late. Xu Ning smiled at Ling Feng and took the initiative to take Ling Feng to Kyoto tomorrow.
Turn around.
"Thank you so much, Brother Xu." Ling Feng hugged his fists and said with a smile.
Back in his room, Ling Feng suddenly thought of Xu Ning's last sentence, 'Although the martial arts academy is not in Kyoto.' He felt very puzzled.
Didn't you ask why Mengwuyuan is located in Kyoto? Why is it suddenly not in Kyoto? Ling Feng didn't think about it and didn't care about it. Anyway, he could still meet him tomorrow, so he could just ask then.
Controlling his mental power, he entered the Seven Star Roulette and looked at Xiao Ying inside. Ling Feng fell on the bed and rested.
