[Name: Li Rui]

【Age: 10】

[Talents: Martial Bones, Super Comprehension, Intelligent Eyes, Great Dreamer, and Overcoming Demons]

[Kung Fu: Changchun Gong, Dragon Traveling in the Nine Heavens]

[Achievement: 10/100]

"Conquer the demon and win?"

Just when Li Rui was about to explore the role of this new talent, several lines of small words appeared in front of him.

[Conquer the monsters and use the blood of the dragon clan to suppress the monsters in the world. When facing monsters, the power of your moves will be increased by 50%. 】

[Reward enhancement detected. 】

[Reinforcing. 】

[Improve the effect of defeating monsters. When you face monsters, your power will be increased by 100%! 】

Li Rui looked at the words "100%" on the panel and took a breath.

A fight to the death.

An extra ten percent would be enough to determine life or death.

Ten percent

Almost equivalent to being invincible at the same level.

Sword critical strike, monster nemesis?

This thought came to Li Rui's mind.

As we all know, the physical body of monsters is extremely powerful. In fact, when facing enemies of the same level, human warriors are usually at a disadvantage.

Humans can suppress monsters by relying on the power of numbers, and it is even more difficult to kill monsters.

But when it came to him, the situation was completely different.

From now on, when monsters of the same level encounter Li Rui, they will almost always be killed instantly.

This talent can be said to have endless uses.

"It is rumored that there is a group of people in the world who call themselves monster hunters. They are born to chase monsters and make a living by selling monsters."

It can be said that monsters are full of treasures.

Meat can be made into nourishing spiritual flesh, and blood can be used as medicine or swallowed directly, not to mention that skin can be used to make armor, and sinews can be used as bowstrings.

Anyway.

The monster beasts in bulk are simply a small golden mountain.

Therefore, the Yu State has a group of people who hunt monster beasts and sell their flesh and blood.

But not many people engage in this profession.

On the one hand, the requirements for strength are extremely high, on the other hand, the risks are too great, and the mortality rate is frighteningly high.

But if Li Rui becomes a demon hunter, he will definitely become a leader in this profession.

But he has another purpose.

If you just use this talent to fight alone, it will be overkill, and you need to think holistically.

Among the responsibilities of the Anning Guard, in addition to monitoring the rivers and lakes, there is another one, which is to suppress the monsters.

Previously, Li Rui didn't work at night, and mainly took care of people.

Therefore, I have rarely participated in monster affairs, but now with this talent, I can earn military merit. Not only can I exchange military merit for benefits, but I can also accumulate merit and seek promotion.

Being surrounded by troops is no safer than fighting alone.

The corners of Li Rui's mouth raised slightly.

"This talent will be of great use in the future."

"Brother Li, it's time for us to set off."

Ning Zhongtian knocked on the door of Li Rui's house.

Li Rui opened the door.

He carries a sword around his waist and rarely wears official uniform.

Wearing a green robe, the butt is a tiger.

The same goes for Ning Zhongtian, who is dressed the same as Li Rui.

good.

The reason why they are dressed so grandly is because today is the day for consultation between Anning Guard and the Municipal Trade Department, and it is an important official matter.

People from the Commercial Department have been in Qinghe for a while, but this was the first time they met Cao Wei and Jiang Linxian in a formal setting.

Of course you have to take it seriously.

In addition to joining the generals and the army, the five guards of the Anning Guards must go, and it is impossible for Li Rui, the commander of the Simao School, to escape.

"Walk."

Li Rui chuckled.

He and Ning Zhongtian immediately mounted their horses and rushed towards the General's Mansion.

When the two came to the general's mansion.

Seeing Jiang Linxian, Cao Wei and several other guards just jumped on their horses.

Cao Wei saw Li Rui and Ning Zhongtian appear and said, "Let's go then."

The words fell.

The group of people rode out of the Anning Guardhouse.

After a while.

An Ningwei and his party arrived in front of a large blue-gray brick building on the east side of Qinghe River.

Li Rui looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar building in front of him.

This was originally Qinghe’s black market.

It has now been converted into the residence of the Municipal Trade Department.

The Municipal Trade Department is responsible for managing trade between the two countries, and of course it must demarcate an official trading place. Therefore, the promotion of the Municipal Trade Department was negotiated with the magistrate Zhuang Renhe and turned this place into an official office.

Although the Tiandi Alliance didn't get much money, it got a lot of benefits.

The Department of Market and Trade has granted the Tiandi Alliance seven or eight privileges, which will play a great role in the future mutual trade between the two countries.

This is much longer-term than simple gold and silver, and the Department of Market and Trade actually did not give the Tiandi Alliance a chance to refuse.

It concerns the masters of the two countries. They have given enough sincerity. If the Heaven and Earth Alliance does not agree, even if Ning Zhongtian is behind it, they will still forcefully conquer them.

Li Rui followed Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei into the Trade Department, which had just built the front yard.

Although his position is Simao Captain, he has always maintained his status very seriously.

first.

The real manager of the trade between the two countries is the City Trade Department.

Then.

He is just a fixed person who represents Anning Guard to communicate with the City Trade Department. Everything he does must be based on the premise of the Annan Army, or in other words, he must get the consent of Jiang Linxian or Cao Wei.

Li Rui has always thought of himself as a lieutenant in Anning Guard, and Simao is just a miscellaneous title.

Therefore, he has no intention of being in the limelight.

Soon.

The group walked into the lobby of the City Trade Department.

There were already five or six people sitting in the hall.

The person in the center, of course, is the new City Trade Department Supervisor, Yan Zhongxing, a middle-aged man with elegant manners.

"The new Supervisor, Yan Zhongxing, is from Jiangnan. He was once the magistrate of Kunyu County, Jiangzhou. Later, he went to Beijing to work as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. Now he is sent out to serve as the Supervisor of Qinghe City Trade Department."

"This Lord Yan is proficient in business, not famous for martial arts."

The information of Lord Yan appeared in Li Rui's mind.

Most civil officials are like this.

Even if the realm is not high enough, as long as the knowledge is enough, you can still become a high-ranking official.

Of course, if the martial arts is too low, it is inevitable that you will suffer more when you meet a powerful person.

In the final analysis.

The martial arts masters in this world can destroy mountains and split seas, and no matter how strong the intelligence is, it seems pale and powerless in front of absolute strength.

So this Lord Yan’s martial arts is not high, but he is also a sixth-rank master.

Cao Wei clasped his fists and said:

"Lord Yan, we meet again."

When he was still a member of the Ministry of War in the capital, Yan Zhongxing was already a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue.

In fact, his official position is higher than his.

Yan Zhongxing’s departure from the capital this time seems to be a loss. Although the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue and the official of the Municipal Trade Department are at the same level, both are fifth-rank, they are half a level higher than the officials in the capital, not to mention the powerful doctor of the six ministries.

But according to Cao Wei’s friend in the Ministry of Revenue.

This time Yan Zhongxing took the initiative to request to be sent out.

So Cao Wei felt that Lord Yan was trying to retreat in order to advance, and take advantage of the great event of the two countries' trade to seek a higher position.

"Lord Cao."

Yan Zhongxing laughed heartily.

He did not have the airs of Cao Wei's boss before, and said with a fist:

"Today I just want to ask everyone to get together, there is no other meaning."

Get together?

Cao Wei certainly did not believe it.

Yan Zhongxing said he was an official, but in fact he should be called a businessman.

Saying some nice words at the beginning, relaxing vigilance, and then talking about business, this is a common tactic.

If it was really just a gathering, why would it be necessary to make such a big fuss.

Unlike Yan Zhongxing, Cao Wei has always been an official.

As an official, he disliked this the most.

Yan Zhongxing looked at Jiang Linxian: "Lord Jiang, I have heard of you for a long time."

Jiang Linxian also clasped his fist: "I have often heard of Lord Yan's reputation."

The three of them flattered each other for a long time.

The people in the lobby were all used to it.

It was just a common opening move for high officials when they met. Those who were skilled had already closed their eyes and pretended to sleep.

Li Rui stood in the middle and scanned the hall.

Soon.

His eyes collided with a young man.

"Qi Ze."

Qi Ze was sitting on a big chair, staring at Li Rui with an abnormal expression. It was hard to say whether he hated, feared, or was unwilling. I'm afraid even Qi Ze himself couldn't tell.

Since he failed to compete for the position of Simao Xiaowei, he has been staying in Qinghe.

Until the Duke of Weiguo licked his old face and went to the emperor again, and asked for a position of the Supervisor of the City Trade Department, which was the sixth rank.

It was equivalent to the rank of Simao Xiaowei.

But this arrangement was somewhat meaningful.

The emperor secretly ordered Jiang Linxian to stop Qi Ze from becoming Simao Xiaowei, but he gave him the position of Supervisor very readily.

It shows that in the emperor's mind, the position of Simao Xiaowei was more critical, and Qi Ze, a "remnant" of the previous dynasty, could not be asked to take the position.

Li Rui quickly retracted his gaze.

He didn't take Qi Ze's job in the Municipal Trade Bureau to heart at all.

Although both of them were officials in charge of trade between the two countries, they were in different departments and could not control each other.

Naturally, there was no need to pay too much attention.

Finally.

The three chief officers completed the necessary greetings.

They took their seats first.

Then Li Rui and others found their seats and sat down.

The purpose of the two parties meeting this time was nothing more than to understand each other's ideas first, so as to carry out the trade between the two countries in the future.

They were all for better management of the market, and the goals were the same, so naturally everything would come naturally.

Soon, the two sides reached a consensus.

An Ningwei was still responsible for the stability of the area under its jurisdiction and would not interfere in trade.

However, since it involved the two countries, there might be spies, riots, etc., and An Ningwei also needed to send people to monitor and suppress them by force if necessary.

The Municipal Trade Bureau was of course in full control of trade.

Yan Zhongxing did not have much objection to An Ningwei arranging people to monitor.

This was all customary.

Moreover, the Municipal Trade Department is composed of civil officials, not a violent organization. If they want to control the unruly Wu people, they must rely on the Anning Guard.

Half an hour later.

The two sides have almost reached an agreement.

At this time.

Jiang Linxian pointed at Li Rui and said:

"He is the Anning Guard's Trade Captain, Li Rui. Li Rui will be responsible for the communication between the two parties in the future."

"His attitude represents the attitude of the Anning Guard."
