Since Beichen Ye came out of seclusion, Mu Qianyu's food has become richer again, and with the continuous afforestation of trees by the eight major forces, the environment of their city has also slightly improved.
When the environment is not so dry, it is more suitable to live. Mu Qianyu's daily life is quite comfortable, especially since he doesn't have to do anything and thinks about the huge amount of spiritual stones that the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has made.
You must know that the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is not the imperial chamber of commerce in the absolute sense, but Mu Qianyu's private chamber of commerce, and all the spiritual stones she earns must be put into her pocket.
Although most of the money was used to fill the deficit of some major national projects, it was her money after all, and it was still very satisfying to use it casually.
She felt that it wouldn't be long before this chaotic place would be corroded by the power of money, making it difficult to conquer without control.
Mu Qianyu would occasionally go out for a walk after practicing. On this day when he was shopping, he saw several stretchers being carried in from the city gate. The people on the stretchers were covered in blood and were seriously injured.
"What's going on?" Mu Qianyu asked an old man next to him.
"It looks like it should be someone from the Xu family. Someone must have beaten him." The old man sighed and said, "Does anyone around here dare to beat someone from the Xu family?"
"I heard that they came back from the Shanhe League. I'm afraid it wasn't the Shanhe League who did it." One of them whispered.
When the others heard that the Shanhe Alliance all changed their expressions, they all said that it would not be surprising if that was the case. The Shanhe Alliance has always been strong and domineering, and beating a few people is nothing new.
"The attack was too harsh. It almost killed the person." A woman whispered.
"Isn't that right? I heard that someone at Leihuo Temple was beaten by disciples of the Mountain and River Alliance recently."
"Shanhe Alliance has made a lot of money recently. It's really different. I didn't hear that they would do anything for no reason before."
People shook their heads while discussing, and they all felt that things were unpredictable, so it was better to stay calm and not cause trouble.
"Let's go." Mu Qianyu said to Liu Xiner behind him.
Liu Xiner nodded quietly. When she joined the crowd, she realized that Mu Qianyu had gone the wrong way. She quickly said, "Master, aren't we going to Buzhuang? You are taking the way back home."
"Didn't you hear people say it's not peaceful outside now? It's better to go back home and feel safe." Mu Qianyu said seriously.
"Ah?" Liu Xiner thought she heard wrongly.
When did her master become so fond of peace? Did she remember that Beichen Daojun always called her master a demon king?
Why did he suddenly change his gender?
"Especially good-looking girls like us should not go out often. What if we are targeted by bad guys?" Mu Qianyu said in a preaching tone: "Little girls should not run too wild."
Liu Xiner was even more confused when she heard this. How could she come from the Great Shang Dynasty to a place of chaos?
The more Mu Qianyu talked, the more he felt that he made sense. Then he looked at Liu Xiner and asked, "Am I right?"
"Uh, Master, is there anyone following us?" Liu Xiner even said this through sound transmission. She felt that her master was extremely abnormal right now.
Mu Qianyu blinked in confusion: "Is there any?"
"No?"
"Probably not..." Mu Qianyu said this, and then said angrily: "You girl is really good at sarcasm. Okay, I admit that there is something wrong with going back."
"Oh." Liu Xiner nodded. Such a master is much more normal.
Mu Qianyu also couldn't laugh or cry. She was so unreliable and no one listened to her reasoning. It was such a failure.
When he returned to his mansion, Beichen sat under the tree at night, with a chessboard in front of him, and he was playing chess against himself again.
After seeing Mu Qianyu, Beichenye looked up at the sun and then at Mu Qianyu with a puzzled look on his face: "Madam, it's noon right now."
"Of course I know." Mu Qianyu walked over to sit opposite him without realizing anything.
Beichenye raised his head again to confirm, and then looked at Mu Qianyu's face carefully, "What happened to Madam when she came back at this hour?"
Mu Qianyu finally knew what he meant by what he just said, and she suddenly said in a dumbfounded voice: "Then when do you think I should be in a good mood when I come back?"
"The moon is in the sky. If you don't come back, I will go looking for you." Beichen Ye answered without thinking.
Every time this happened, when the situation was bad, I would drink some wine, sometimes more than a little.
When Liu Xiner heard this, she couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle. It turned out that she was not the only one who was surprised.
Mu Qianyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, okay, I did encounter something, I say it's not okay."
"Oh." Beichen Ye nodded as expected, looking at her patiently and waiting for her to say.
"I saw people from the Xu family being beaten. It sounds like it was done by the Shanhe Alliance." Mu Qianyu looked at him and said, "How about it, it's interesting."
Liu Xiner was confused when she heard this. What does this have to do with anything?
Bei Chenye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it didn't happen to Mu Qianyu, and dropped the white piece he had been holding in his hand on the chessboard.
"Swaggering through the market?" he asked.
Mu Qianyu nodded: "My husband's guess is very accurate. If it wasn't so ostentatious, I might not find it interesting."
"This City Lord Xu does have something." Beichenye said quietly, and went to get the black stones from the chessboard.
"I heard that some people were beaten in Leihuo Temple. Isn't it more interesting?"
Beichenye responded without thinking, "It looks like there will be something good to watch next."
"I think so too. This guy just can't resist temptation." Mu Qianyu shook his head, looking pitiful, but actually there was a smile in his eyes.
Liu Xiner listened to the riddles played by the two, and felt that all the questions were in her mind. In the chaotic land, let alone fights, even beating to death and eating meat were common. What could be the difference between these two times?
?
The following situation was indispensable for the shadow of the secret guards. The people of the eight major forces were more or less bullied by the people of the Mountain and River Alliance. A month later, they had a trump card, which was that the wine of the Chamber of Commerce was cheaper.
Originally, the impact of the Chamber of Commerce on taverns was very great, but now it is even greater. People in the chaotic land are already poor, and they will naturally not patronize taverns when they find that prices are reduced somewhere.
As a result, the profits of the taverns of the eight major forces have dropped by another 20%. So far, they are only 20% of what they were when the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce was there. Although these 20% are more profitable than other businesses, how can people who have eaten meat be willing to drink soup?
.
So Xu Zhentian posted a message in the name of Mu Qianyu for the other seven major forces to discuss countermeasures. Mu Qianyu knew about this, and she also wanted to see what the other seven major forces were like now.
The meeting place was the Jinluan Palace. It was the first time for the seven major power lords to come to the Jinluan Palace. They not only found it strange but also funny.
