Section 154

Seeing that Qiu Jiu's face was melancholy, Ye Zhenfeng persuaded him, "If you trust me, I will take care of the matter of 100,000 mountains. If there is really a clue about the former castle owner, I will definitely bring it out to you."

After Qiu Jiu pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Well, I'll ask you for everything."

Ye Zhenfeng nodded, stood up and said, "It's time for me to go, too. Oh, by the way, let's go to Gumei Villa when you have time. Recently, there has been some changes in the Dugu family. The Sword God may..."

"What's wrong with Sword God?" When it comes to Duguyan's close relatives, Qiu Jiu couldn't help but be heartfelt and asked.

Ye Zhenfeng said, "The situation of Sword God may not be very good."

"How can it be that Dugu's swordsmanship is the best in the world? Who else can hurt him?" Qiu Jiu can't help but be anxious.

But I heard Ye Zhenfeng say, "I don't know this. The Dugu family was tightly blocked about the damage of the sword god. If the dark son of the Ye family had not been ranked at the top of the Dugu family, the Ye family would not have received the news. In fact, it's not only the Dugu family. In the recent period, the seven major families and the seven sects are not peaceful. The leaders of many families are either closed or retired. In short, they suddenly faded out of the world.

"What about Dugu Ming, the head of the Dugu family?"

Ye Zhenfeng said, "Oh, he's fine. Since the Sword God did not appear in front of the world, Duguming suddenly became active. First, they allied with the snow family in Yizhou, and the two families worked together to fight against the day-seeking, and then reached a cooperative relationship with the Qian family of the seven families. With the isolated city and state as the center, they vigorously expanded outward, and there was a faint trend of annexing other families and unifying the right path of Shenzhou.

"Oh? So what did Ye Hongde do about this? The current castle owner of the Ye family is an ambitious person. Looking at Du Guming expanding so much, if he doesn't take advantage of the time, he will really see the hell.

"The Ye family is already in a period of changing dynasties and everyone is in danger. The senior management of the Ye family is still busy with themselves, and they don't have the energy to act outside - they dare not. Although Duguming has the ambition to annex the world, how can other major factions make him succeed so easily? There will always be someone who can't help jumping out and doing it against Duguming.

" Besides, there is still a Qingcheng faction between Yejiabao and Duguming. As long as the Qingcheng faction is immortal, there is no need to worry about the safety of Yejiabao. Compared with Duguming, Ye Hongde of Yejiabao is much more terrible. The senior management of the Ye family tried their best to accumulate their strength in one place, so that Ye Hongde did not dare to move lightly. At this time, strength is the capital to save his life. Who dares to divide his troops to fight Duguming, so the senior management of the Ye family completely ignored Duguming's behavior and did not respond.

Qiu Jiu smiled faintly: "Perhaps, the Ye family intends to let Du Guming and other forces fight half-dead before taking action to achieve the greatest gain with the smallest benefit."

Ye Zhenfeng nodded and said, "Indeed, it is also one of the basic coping strategies of the Ye family. All right, I'm leaving. Be careful."

Qiu Jiu nodded, and Ye Zhenfeng turned around and left Yajian.

Shangguan Yanyan asked, "Son, where are we going next?"

Listening to the dialogue between Qiu Jiu and the others, she had vaguely revealed that she would no longer go to 100,000 mountains, so she opened her mouth to ask Qiu Jiu first.

Qiu Jiu said, "Let's take Anping City and go to Dugu City first."

Everyone took the order, and at this time, Xiao Er came to ask if he wanted to be served.

Qiu Jiu nodded and listened to the little two's greeting. All kinds of dishes were sent up like running water, and soon the table in the elegant room was piled up.

The lowest cultivation of everyone in the house has reached the ice-tracking period, and they don't care much about food and so on. However, seeing that the dishes on this table are exquisite in style, both color and fragrance are obviously the work of this restaurant. Qiu Jiu took the chopsticks to taste first, but he was a little disappointed. Although these dishes taste good, it is a pity that the smell of fireworks in the world is too heavy, which makes the taste inevitably discounted.

Finally, Qiu Jiu gently put down his chopsticks and said lightly, "Try it,

Yaner was originally a knife spirit. When she became an adult, she didn't like the food in the world. Although Qiu Jiu opened her mouth, she just took her chopsticks and pulled it a few times without putting them in her mouth. The five guardians are so high that they no longer need to eat. Shangguan Yanyan just took a few bites and then put down the chopsticks. Only Fang Tianxing let go of his belly and eat a lot, and couldn't help nodding and praising.

And when Fang Tianxing was fighting hard, Qiu Jiu asked the little two, "A child came in and told us some stories, but I don't know who that child is?"

Hearing the question, Xiao Er couldn't help opening his eyes and scolding angrily: "That kid..." For a moment, when he remembered that he was still in front of the distinguished guests, he immediately said respectfully and said, "That little ghost is a fatherless wanderer. Although there is a sister who was recruited as a disciple by Baihuamen two years ago, everything she did was done. People's affairs. The two sisters and brothers lived a hard life. I saw that the kid was pitiful and usually asked him to tell hearsay stories in the teahouse and exchange some money to spend the sun. But I didn't expect this kid to come in and disturb the prince. I'm really sorry.

Qiu Jiu smiled faintly: "No, I'm sorry to bother you. I felt bored, but it's also interesting to have that child come in and tell a story. Now it's still interesting to recall, so I'm going to ask casually.

"As long as you don't disturb the prince." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Does that young man still want to listen to other small song reviews?"

Qiu shook his head slightly. At this time, a table of dishes was swept away by Fang Tianxing. After he took a break, Shangguan Yanyan settled the bill and gave Xiao Er some rewards. He made Xiao Er's eyes full of stars, and he couldn't wait to serve Qiu Jiu and his party as the God of Wealth.

When he first entered Tianshui City, Qiu Jiuben still wanted to rest in the city for one night, but after hearing that the kid in Tianshui City's Baihuamen was monitoring foreign masters, he showed his consciousness slightly and knew that what the kid said was true. Although there are only two people who monitor their own party, and their strength is only in the peace period and cannot pose a threat to themselves, the feeling of being peeped still makes Qiu Jiu very unhappy.

After leaving the teahouse, the group left Tianshui City and flew to Anping City.

Anping City is one of the three major cities in Yongzhou. It is still nominally under the Hundred Flowers, but Qiu Jiu knows that the actual owner of Anping City is Qian - the Qian family of the seven major families.

The Qian family was not originally a Xiuzhen family. Although Qian Mancang, the ancestor of the Qian family, had a resounding name, when he was born, his family was extremely miserable. Qian Mancang's father is a miner in a coal mine. He risks his life to go to the pit every day, and what he gets is barely enough to support a family of three.

When Qian Mancang was 12 years old, shortly after his father went to the pit, the pit suddenly collapsed and buried his father deep. The news came back to the Qian family, and Qian Mancang's biological mother immediately fainted. The next day, Qian Mancang found the mine manager and asked to replace his father, hoping to open the mine and find his father's body one day.

After the mine disaster, people's hearts fluctuated and the mine was short of manpower, so the money was recruited into the miners' team. They were active in the mine every day and worked hard in the mine for ten years. Although he did not find his father's body, he dug up an ancient secret road. Where the secret road was connected, there were five secret rooms full of gold and treasures. Stone and ancient treasures.

Qian Mancang quietly buried the entrance of the secret road, returned to the secret road late that day, took out countless gold and jade objects and sold them, and bought the whole mine with the proceeds. The Qian family made a profit from this. Since then, the business has become bigger and bigger, gradually involving major fields of Shenzhou.

Don't look at the Qian family ranking among the top seven worlds, but no one dares to doubt the strength of the Qian family.

Even the Dugu family, the first family in the world, has borrowed money from the Qian family, to what extent can the richness of the Qian family?

Anping City is located on the main road of the three prefectures, with millions of people coming and going. The Qian family took a fancy to the business opportunities here. After negotiating with Baihuamen, the Qian family fully represented the large and small businesses in Anping City. Baihuamen has always had money dealings with the Qian family. Naturally, they dare not offend these uncles. They became the Qian family as the real owner of Anping City.

Because the Qian family has always adhered to the duty of merchants, they ignore everything except business, let alone intervene. Therefore, although the Qian family holds all the economic arteries of Anping City, they get along well with the nominal owner of Anping City. The two families have always been polite and there is no dispute.

After flying for a few days, everyone finally arrived in Anping City.

As Qiu Jiu expected, the guards of Anping City were not as strict as Tianshui City. Moreover, because the Qian family presides over the large and small businesses in Anping City, the guards generally respect the caravans entering the city for trade and will not search or make trouble. As long as you pay the entrance fee of Anping City, the front convenience is a commercial city that opens its doors to welcome you.

After Qiu Jiu and his party paid the entrance fee, they finally stepped into Anping City.

Because they lived in the wilderness for a long time, they were used to the empty scenery of thousands of miles of yellow sand and suddenly entered a prosperous city with Shenzhou characteristics. The group of people did not seem to adapt, including even Qiu Jiu. On the contrary, Yan'er, looking at the surrounding scenery, was full of curiosity. Although there were also lively long street owners in Tianshui City before, Tianshui City seems a little backward compared with the purely commercial Anping City.

Walking in the stream of people for less than ten minutes, Qiu Jiu suddenly felt extremely depressed. It's not that his cultivation is backward, but that the popularity really makes him unbearable. Qiu Jiu is not because of the bitter smile in his heart. He has been away from the crowd for too long, and he will feel uncomfortable when he arrives in a lively place.

So everyone found an inn nearby to settle down first, and Qiu Jiu saw that Yan'er was not exhausted, so he ordered Shangguan Yanyan to take Yan'er out for a stroll. His party opened four upper rooms and went into the room first to meditate and rest.
