Reborn as a tree

Chapter 258 Soul Crystal Conference
While He Jiu was thinking about how to place Qin Kecha and the others, the spies outside Shenmu City were also busy.

Montgomery's behavior was quite public, and the business was not deliberately kept secret.

Therefore, many spies from Zhongzhou had already arrived outside Shenmu City in advance.

These forces are actually not particularly interested in this battle. After all, it is a sure thing for a sea-level powerhouse to personally destroy a remote town.

They just wanted to use this battle to figure out whether Montgomery's strength had grown again.

Among them, the Qin family paid the most attention, and even sent a forest-level warrior to investigate.

The reason for this is because the sea-level warrior who fought against Montgomery for a day and a night without a draw was Qin Moya, the grand elder of the Qin family.

However, even this spy from the Qin family didn't think that the magister would show much strength if he came to destroy a remote town in person.

But this battle outside Shenmu City shocked everyone's jaws.

A sea level top powerhouse, even in Zhongzhou, is the confidence of a top family.

Now such a strong man has fallen outside the small city of Shenmu.

This scene almost overturned everyone's cognition.

Before these spies came here, they never thought that they would find such explosive news.

One of the spies couldn't bear this kind of stimulation, and when the battle was still going on, he was too nervous and crushed the crystal in his hand.

The rest of the spies were no better off.

When the battle was over and the Mage Association was almost wiped out, many people still hadn't recovered.

It wasn't until Qin Kecha and others swore allegiance to He Jiu that the spies outside the city, who were observing from a distance, reported the results of the battle to their masters one by one.

……

Zhongzhou, inside the hall of the Xiao family.

Xiao Duye was on the main seat, playing with a middle-grade soul crystal in his hand with great interest.

He didn't seem to notice that a group of clan elders below had already quarreled.

An old man with a gray beard trembled all over his body and said: "The transaction with the soul crystal in Shenmu City is related to the future of countless men in my Xiao family, and even related to the breakthrough of the Patriarch.

How could such an important strategic material be handed over to a side branch that came out of nowhere!

That Xiao Lingtong has been away from Zhongzhou for many years, who knows if he has become a spy of other families.

We must take this trading route into our own hands! "

At the side, a middle-aged man who seemed unable to wake up suddenly sneered and said: "You are always making a good plan.

I remember that your son seems to be in charge of my Xiao family's caravan.

Why do you have to be so euphemistic, just say how good it is to put this piece of fat in your son's hands, we understand it. "

"Ha ha!"

"So that's how it is. I said that you are so old, why do you still come to this muddy water?"

"that is……"

What this man said immediately made several people around him burst into laughter.

The old man who spoke before was trembling with anger.

He pointed at the tired man and said: "Xiao Dubo, you are becoming more and more unscrupulous because of the patriarch's preference!
How dare you openly laugh at the elders in the lobby of my Xiao family.

Do you still remember that I am your cousin! "

Xiao Dubo still had a sleepy look and said, "Of course I remember.

But your appetite is too big, I can't help but put this piece of fat meat into my own bowl as soon as it comes up. "

The old man suppressed his anger and said: "That Xiao Lingtong is just a side branch.

How can he take the initiative in the transaction if he wants strength but no strength, and status but no status!
He actually offered a price of one hundred gold coins for a low-grade soul crystal.

This channel is in his hands, it is a waste! "

Xiao Dubo still didn't take it seriously and said, "What's wrong with this price?
On the black market, even two to three hundred gold coins may not be able to buy a soul crystal. "

The old man snorted and said, "What do you know!
Dongyan Prefecture is a remote place, and there are no masters at all.

Now that this piece of fat has been delivered to our lips, how can it be possible for a small town in a remote place to continue to be in charge.

Even if we can't put this piece of fat in our bowl immediately, we can't let that little Shenmu City ask for a price.

A small remote town wanted to sell things into Zhongzhou, how could it be so easy.

Progress tax, protection fee, transportation fee, he has to pay everything!
Hey!

When you can exchange [-] or even [-] gold coins for a soul crystal, let's see if you will make a fuss here! "

The old man's words made the rest of the people stop laughing.

They all became deep in thought, and seemed to be a little moved.

However, Xiao Dubo said with a half-smile: "You are still so good at instigating people's hearts.

It's a pity that your action is one step slower.

Two days ago, Montgomery from the Association of Magicians left for Dongyan Prefecture.

Well, his goal is this Shenmu City! "

"what!"

"Obviously my Xiao family discovered it first, why did the Magicians Association take the lead!"

"That's right, the Association of Magicians is deceiving people too much."

Xiao Dubo's words filled the elders of the Xiao family with righteous indignation.

However, the old man who had just made a generous speech just languished, and he murmured: "It's over, since the Magicians Association has swallowed this piece of fat, my Xiao family probably has no room to intervene..."

When they were making a fuss, Xiao Yanyao suddenly ran into the meeting room quickly and whispered in Xiao Duye's ear.

After a while, Xiao Duye suddenly widened his eyes.

He stared closely at Xiao Yanyao's eyes, and asked word by word: "Is what you said true?"

After subconsciously swallowing, Xiao Yanyao said with disbelief still on his face, "When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it, but this is the news from Uncle Wu himself."

Xiao Duye said slowly: "So, the news is true..."

After he was stunned for a while, he suddenly stood up and said, "It's all over, Xiao Lingtong will still be in charge of the deal with Shenmu City in the future!"

After hearing Xiao Duye's words, the group of patriarchs thought that Xiao Duye didn't intend to fall out with the Magician Association on this matter, so they left the hall in twos and threes.

Only Xiao Dubo looked at Xiao Duye with some surprise, but naturally he couldn't think of what happened outside Shenmu City.

After everyone left, Xiao Lingtong was brought into the hall by Xiao Yanyao.

Xiao Lingtong looked nervous at the moment, he had already guessed what these elders of the Xiao family were discussing.

He had been secretly praying just now, hoping that his previous overtures to Xiao Yanyao would be effective.

When he was brought in front of Xiao Duye, Xiao Lingtong had a faint feeling that what he had done before might have played a role based on his years of hard work.

However, before hearing the verdict with his own ears, Xiao Lingtong still had no idea, and all kinds of wild thoughts kept flashing in his mind.

After Xiao Duye looked at Xiao Lingtong for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that you have some friendship with the wood god of Shenmu City?"
