The three towns of Qingping, Anping, and Fuping are important branches of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce in Tianlongmen. Especially Qingping Town, because it is adjacent to the Wolong Mountains, the daily transaction volume is astonishing, and it is difficult for many big cities to match it.
Zhu Tao is the young deacon of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce in Qingping Town, but because of his uncle's status as the chief shopkeeper, everyone else in the chamber of commerce gives him a thumbs up.
At this time, he was standing respectfully in front of a rich middle-aged man, with a low eyebrow and a submissive look that showed no trace of his domineering appearance in the Song Dynasty.
"You still have 350,000 spirit stones left before you can be promoted to a mid-level deacon. Try to complete it before the end of the year, and your family will help you."
"Thank you Uncle Jin for your cultivation."
"You'd better thank your family."
"Without Uncle Jin's recommendation, how could the family invest in me, a collateral descendant?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Hongjin's face. The reason why he was willing to support Zhu Tao was because he knew who he should be loyal to.
"Uncle Jin, I heard that the family has been under pressure recently. Both the Zhang family and the Wang family want to interfere with our business in Tianlongmen."
"You are well-informed, but these two families are just wishful thinking. Tianlongmen is supported by our Zhu family. It is not easy for other families to replace us."
If Chu Ming had been at the scene, he would have understood why the Xihai Chamber of Commerce was so arrogant. Such an important branch did not even have Emperor Wu.
It turns out that the local Tianlongmen are their bodyguards, so they don't worry about safety at all.
"Don't be too ambitious. Those are things that the senior management needs to worry about. We should just focus on doing our jobs."
"Yes, Uncle Jin."
Zhu Hongjin did not forget to mention him in the end, and Zhu Tao also looked like he was open-minded and willing to be taught.
The eastern part of Qingping Town provides the first access to the Wolong Mountains, which is also a gathering place for many warriors with no background.
Together they went on an adventure to the Wolong Mountains, obtained elixirs and monsters, and then sold them to the West Sea Chamber of Commerce in exchange for skills and spiritual stones.
Their days are spent in this repetitive process.
In order to facilitate these adventurous warriors, the West Sea Chamber of Commerce has also been established in this area.
"Lord Governor, when will we take action?"
"There's no rush. Fuping Town is the farthest away. We need City Lord Ye to take the first step before we take action."
Tonight is a unified operation. Cao Zhengchun and Ding Chunqiu lead one hundred black-faced thieves in charge of Qingping Town; Yang Xiao and Fan Yao lead one hundred black-faced thieves in charge of Anping Town; Ye Gucheng and Yan Shisan lead one hundred black-faced thieves in charge of Fuping. town.
It is now past midnight, and there are almost no pedestrians in the town. Even the most noisy adventurous warriors have either slept in the "Golden Sale Cave" or have been drunk in a certain tavern. of unconsciousness.
At this moment, dark shadows appeared in the shadows of the roofs and in the hidden places of the street corners. The direction they were heading towards was the Xihai Chamber of Commerce.
There are guards from the west at the entrance of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, all of whom are master warriors.
Although they were standing there in high spirits, because Taiping had been there for a long time, there was no sign of vigilance in their eyes. Cao Zhengchun made a gesture to the back, and the eight black figures divided into two groups and sneaked towards the main entrance of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce.
After confirming that his companions were in place, one of the Westerners used a crossbow to shoot down the guard, while the other Westerner was already hiding nearby and flew out first to help the guard who was about to fall to the ground.
No sound was made the whole time.
Soon Nishiname's black-faced thief appeared at the front door wearing guard clothes, and the others filed in and started killing.
After this period of retraining, the black-faced thieves have mastered more killing techniques, many of which they have never heard of.
The treatment of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce is very good. As long as the deacons have their own courtyards, the sizes of the courtyards are different because of different levels.
The black-faced thieves worked in groups of three and infiltrated under cover alternately. Each person held a dark dagger in their hands, either cutting their throats or piercing their hearts. Soon the smell of blood began to spread.
There were six martial kings responsible for guarding the Qingping Town branch, and the Westerners guarded the treasure house. The two were resting in their courtyard when they suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
They rushed out of the room. Before they could see the enemy clearly, a golden fist smashed their chests. A Martial King's blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he said with difficulty, "Martial King!"
Then he collapsed to the ground.
Cao Zhengchun, who was in mid-air, smiled contemptuously and continued to observe the situation on the field. As long as a warrior above the Grand Master's Dzogchen realm appeared, he would be the first to kill him with one punch.
So far, no one has needed a second punch from him.
Ding Chunqiu was the first to lead the people to the treasure house. The treasure house of the Qingping Town branch was hidden deep underground and was guarded by warriors from the later period of King Wu of the West.
Ding Chunqiu did not choose to fight head-on with the opponent, but took out a small stove and lit the poisonous elixir in it. A burst of colorful smoke instantly enveloped the defenders.
The Martial Kings naturally knew that this smoke was definitely not a good thing, so they hurriedly held their breath and used their true energy to seal all the pores in their bodies.
The Westerners joined forces to use their true energy to disperse the smoke. After a while, all the smoke was dispersed. "He Fang Xiaoxiao actually dares to provoke our Xihai Chamber of Commerce and uses such despicable means without fear of making people laugh."
The leader, King Wu, wanted to use words to provoke the enemy from the dark, but it had no effect.
The other party seems to be determined to hide in the dark.
Just when he was about to sound a warning, he found that he could no longer gather his true energy.
Looking around at the other three partners, their expressions were equally ugly, and they were obviously following each other's tricks.
Just when they were trying to use their true energy to force out the poison, a burst of triumphant laughter came from the top of the stairs.
"You don't need to waste your efforts. My seven-day crisp will make anyone affected by it weak all over for seven days. Without my unique antidote, it is impossible to resolve it."
"Who are you? Have you thought about the consequences of offending our Xihai Chamber of Commerce?"
"You don't need to know who I am, but I can tell you that this is the consequence of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce offending my master."
The leader Wu Wang wanted to say something, but Ding Chunqiu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore. With a wave of his hand, the black-faced thieves behind him jumped out one after another, and soon Ximing Wu Wang fell in a pool of blood.
Facing the treasure house door made of thick cold iron, Ding Chunqiu calmly poured a green liquid into the keyhole. Soon a thick smoke rose, accompanied by an unpleasant smell.
In less than a cup of tea, a large hole appeared in the door, showing how powerful the liquid was.
A man in black wearing silver gloves opened the door lock through the big hole.
"You only have a quarter of an hour to quickly pack away everything in the treasure house."
After receiving the order, the black-faced thieves jumped into the treasure house one after another. The shelves were filled with various treasures, and the back half was filled with large boxes filled with spiritual stones.
The black-faced thieves hurriedly put the treasures into the storage rings. Although "wealth and silk are attractive to people," they did not dare to have any evil thoughts.
The power of the Life and Death Talisman has long been deeply imprinted in their minds.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they had plundered the treasure house and returned to the courtyard, where Cao Zhengchun and other members were waiting for them.
Ding Chunqiu nodded to Cao Zhengchun, and the latter made a retreat gesture.
They quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Zhu Tao died tragically in his bedroom. He was stabbed through the chest by a black-faced thief, and the storage ring he wore became a trophy.
If he knew that the catastrophe of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce was all caused by his greed, he would definitely regret what he did in the Song Dynasty, but it would be too late.
Cao Zhengchun led the black-faced thieves through the Wolong Mountains and returned to the Northeast Region.
The two teams led by Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Ye Gucheng and Yan Shisan also returned smoothly.
This operation has yielded a lot of rewards. There are tens of billions of spiritual stones alone, as well as countless other treasures and techniques.
Among them, what pleased Chu Ming the most was an elixir called "Xingyue Grass", which could greatly alleviate the pain caused by practicing the "Wild Desolate Jue".
It can increase the speed of everyone practicing the skills.
It's a pity that we can't know the specific place where the elixir grows, but it can definitely come from the Wolong Mountains.
Now Xu Zhu and Six Swordsmen are in the mountains. The little monk, the "chosen son", might be able to find traces of Xingyue Grass.
Chu Ming sent the shape and characteristics of Xingyue Grass to Xu Zhu, asking him to look for hidden veins and pay attention to this elixir. Soon the news that the three branches of the West Sea Chamber of Commerce had been looted spread throughout the continent.
In Xihai City, the headquarters of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, all the senior officials of the Zhang family, Wang family, and Zhu family gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"According to the information that came back, the other party obviously prepared carefully and did not leave any valuable clues."
Zhang Renzhong, the patriarch of the Zhang family and the current president of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, first introduced the situation calmly.
"Isn't Tianlongmen supported by Clan Chief Zhu, and the branches there are all in charge of you. I don't think it would bother the two masters, so let's leave this matter to the Zhu family."
The head of the Wang family put forward his own suggestions in a neither yin nor yang manner.
"Why is the Chamber of Commerce no longer a whole? Chief Royal, are you going to split?"
Patriarch Zhu immediately launched a counterattack. They could seize the benefits, but the responsibilities still needed to be shared by everyone.
"Zhu Shiyang, you don't need to sow discord. The Zhu family's business in Wolong Mountains was monopolized by your family at the beginning, and we were resolutely not allowed to share a piece of the pie. Now that something has happened, you think that we are a whole, and you have taken over it no matter what. ”
Naturally, the head of the Wang family would not show weakness. He began to ridicule the Zhu family and wanted to take advantage of them.
Unexpectedly, the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, which seemed united in the eyes of outsiders, was already in conflict internally.
