One Thought Feixian

Chapter 185 Bewildering
For three days in a row, Jiang Yi has been practicing martial arts, and he has already practiced "Hundred Step Killing Fist", "Break the Entanglement Killer", and "Nine Changes of Fish and Dragon" to a certain level, no worse than Bao Xin.

After a few days of painstaking practice, not only has his martial arts improved greatly, but his strength has also been improved. Two meridians have been opened up again, reaching the point of 63 meridians.

At the same time, he refined the "Forbidden King Talisman" again, and his mental power became even stronger.

"It's been three days, yet no one has brought the corpse of the Huangzu in exchange for jade liquid?" Zhou Qingsha frowned and said in the hall.

More and more refugees flooded into Nanyang City. Through a series of measures such as opening warehouses to release food, sending people to various towns and counties to publicize, etc., she won a lot of popular support. Not only did her cultivation greatly increase, but she also gradually condensed A kind of aura is raised, the whole person is not angry but majestic, just like mountains, seas, and rosy clouds, naturally there is a kind of oppressive force.

Power, power, power is power.

Although Zhou Qingsha was said to be the proud daughter of the sky before, she was conferred the title of princess with a different surname and imperial envoy, but she did not hold any power, so she was approachable and open-minded.

But now she is in charge of the military and government of Nanyang City, with [-] elite soldiers and tens of thousands of guards, and has won the hearts of the people, so she has formed an aura and is domineering.

This is also the reason why the ninety-five-year-old emperor sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and the civil and military ministers had to tremble. A scolding, like a roar of thunder, can scare people to death.

Power is also a kind of power, the higher the status, the greater the power, the stronger this power.

"The Desolate race is not so easy to kill. A barbarian warrior in the Condensation Rune Realm can fight against several martial arts masters, and a wizard can also fight against several Psychic masters. What's more, the Desolate race also has the God Transformation Realm, where the Great Wizard sits in charge. Going to kill the Desolate people would be breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, it's not that easy."

When Jiang Yi was in the northwest, he had fought against two barbarian warriors at the peak of the Condensation Pattern Realm, and he knew the tyranny of the Huangzu: "The army has blocked the intersection of the four counties, is there any change in the Huangzu?"

"According to the news from the scouts, the four counties are now shrouded in a strange force. Once people approach the past, they will become violent and extremely brutal."

Zhou Qingsha said.

"This is the evil power of the blood sacrifice. The sacrifice of the desolate people was infused with the divine power of the earth. It attempted to turn the four counties into wasteland and connect them with the wilderness, so that Nanyang City would completely lose this part of its territory, and then erode it around. , Let more towns and counties fall to weaken the power of the central dynasty."

"Everyone knows the ambition of the Desolate Clan. If we want to wipe it out completely, we must first destroy the altars of the four counties and cut off the source of their power. However, with our current power, we can't do it yet. We can only plan in the long run."

"No hurry, no hurry, the list has just been posted, let those masters deal with the Desolate Race first, it is enough to make the Desolate Race go into chaos."

The two were discussing the situation in the four counties.

At this moment, Han Yanqing, the lord of Nanyang City, came.

"Princess, the elder of the Eighth Commercial Bank is here to visit!" Han Yanqing felt Zhou Qingsha's power and oppression, and immediately became more respectful.

"Eighth Commercial Bank?" Jiang Yi frowned, thinking about the name.

"The Eighth Commercial Firm is an industry established by the Eighth Prince Huangfu Shang!"

Zhou Qingsha explained.

Huangfu Shang was the eighth eldest, so he named the firm the "Eighth Commercial Firm" to let everyone know that it belonged to him and no one could touch it.

Huangfu Shang's mother, Concubine Da, is called "Shang Da". She is a member of the Shang family in Shangzhou. Empire, richest in the world.

Every descendant of the Shang family is very business-minded. They are born businessmen who can turn money into money. If you give them one tael of silver, it can become 1000 taels of silver or 1 taels of silver.

The eighth prince, Huangfu Shang, seems to have inherited the business acumen of the Shang family. In just a few years, the "Eighth Commercial Firm" has become the largest commercial firm in the Central Dynasty. It has branches in every state, province, and city. Even Nanyang There are remote places like the city, which shows that they are extraordinary.

"Does the Huangfu merchant want to rely on business to win the heir?" Jiang Yi looked surprised, as if he hadn't thought that such a dignified prince, how noble, would actually run to do business.

"He really has that idea in mind!"

Zhou Qingsha nodded: "Although the central dynasty's national treasury is full, once the world is in chaos, it will consume a lot of money if it goes to war against the barren people and cults. War is a waste of money. No matter how rich and powerful a country is, it will not be able to withstand the war. consumption, so it is not impossible for Huangfu merchants to seize the throne through business."

"You're right. In the past, when we left the country, we spent many years fighting against the barren people and cults. I don't know how much money was spent. I don't know how many times my father worried about the lack of money. Without money, everything is difficult to sustain. Throughout the ages, no I know how many imperial courts perish because of lack of money, leaving endless sorrows through the ages."

Jiang Yi agrees very much, there is a saying that money can make ghosts grind, but without money, it is difficult to move forward, and money is hard for a hero, how many talented people are down and out?

Even the current situation, if Jiang Yi hadn't spent 100 million taels of gold, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to support so many refugees, and it wouldn't be what it is now.

In short, it is easy to do anything with money. This is the unchanging truth that applies everywhere.

"This Ge Lao is a member of the Shang family of Shangzhou. He is highly respected. He actually came out to assist the eighth prince and came to Lizhou to manage the business."

Zhou Qingsha said again.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of people who have come to visit. All major forces, princes and generals, and the spokespersons of important officials of the court have come to spy on her and try to win her over.

Don't even think about it, the elder's purpose is the same.

"Bring people in!"

Although he already knew about it, Zhou Qingsha decided to meet him anyway. After all, the other party is also a member of the Eighth Prince, and when it comes to the Shang family, he still has to give face, and if he can not be offended, he will not be offended.

After a while, Ge Lao and Gao Qiong walked in.

"I have seen the princess!" The old man saluted slightly, and he knew he came from a noble family at a glance, and he did not lose his courtesy.

Although he is a member of the Shang family, he has no official position, that is, the people, Zhou Qingsha is the princess, and even the imperial envoy. According to the etiquette, when the people meet the officials, they naturally have to salute.

"Old man Ge is highly respected, how can I ask you to bow to me as a junior? Isn't this Zhesha Qingsha? Please sit down quickly." Zhou Qingsha raised her hand: "Come here, serve tea!"

Then a maid came in with tea, and the heat was lingering, exuding a magical fragrance.

Ge Lao was originally a tea lover, so he immediately noticed the strangeness of the tea, he raised his teacup and took a sip, in an instant, a stream of clear spring flowed straight to his lungs, his blood boiled all over his body, his heart was beating violently, like the surface of a calm lake , set off layers of ripples.

Ge Lao's eyes flashed brightly, he paused for a moment, then drank the tea in the cup, his face was flushed immediately, his expression was refreshed, and his whole body seemed to have become younger.

"This girl really has jade liquid!" Elder Ge and Gao Qiong looked at each other, tacit understanding.

There is indeed jade liquid in this tea, although it is only a trace, it can also benefit people who have not swallowed jade liquid.

This was specially arranged by Jiang Yi.

"Ge Lao, how about this tea?" Zhou Qingsha asked.

"Excellent!" Ge Lao nodded: "I have tasted countless teas, but this is the first time I have had such a good tea. I hope I will have the opportunity to drink it again in the future."

"Old fox, there is something in your words? Then let me see what you are thinking!"

Zhou Qingsha thought to herself, and changed the subject: "If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall, Mr. Ge, I don't know what is the purpose of coming to the City Lord's Mansion this time?"

She is asking the question knowingly, she is as wise as a fool.

"I'm here on behalf of No. [-] Commercial Firm this time, naturally to negotiate a deal with the princess." Elder Ge looked indifferent.

"Trade?"

"That's right!" Elder Ge nodded: "The princess opened a warehouse to release grain, appease the refugees, and make sure that there are no hungry people in the market. More and more, increasing day by day, every day is a huge consumption, dare to ask the princess, how many days can Nanyang City's supplies last?"

"One month!" Zhou Qingsha stretched out her finger: "I never thought Elder Ge would be so concerned about this matter. Could it be that he wants to help the court relieve the refugees? Then I will thank Elder Ge for his kindness on behalf of those refugees!"

"It is our duty to help the refugees!"

Ge Lao was calm and calm, without changing his face: "But I am a businessman, and I will not do business at a loss. Our eighth trading firm is the largest trading firm in the central dynasty. It is spread all over the country. We are as rich as an enemy. No matter how many refugees there are , but we helped the princess to solve the urgent need, so shouldn't the princess also show something and help us?"

Zhou Qingsha raised her eyebrows: "The eighth merchant has a great career. Although I am an imperial envoy, I only control the small Nanyang City. How can I help you?"

"You don't have to belittle yourself, the Princess! Our Eighth Commercial Bank is here to support the Eighth Prince in winning the throne. If the Princess can help us, great things will come true, and the Eighth Commercial Bank will also help the Princess endlessly."

Ge Lao finally stated the purpose of this trip.

The two beat around the bush, pretending to be false, and the words were full of undercurrents and meanings, which made people take great pains.

Ge Lao wasted a long time talking, and finally explained his purpose.

"Witches, barbarians, and demons harm the people and endanger their lives. Whoever has the world in mind and eliminates harm for the people, I will naturally support whoever."

Zhou Qingsha didn't refuse or agree, but said this sentence.

Suppressing witches, barbarians, and dominating the world is also the ambition of the Holy Majesty. Whoever of the nine princes can work hard and spare no effort towards this ambition will naturally win the favor of the Holy Majesty and sit on the throne of the prince.
