The Fourth Financial Crisis

Tian Beixi comes from a prominent family in the world of cultivation, and her family background is no less than that of Li Qingning.

Even in the eyes of an ancient family like the Tian family in Huoyunzhou, which has been passed down for thousands of years, Li Qingyang, who was born in a down-and-out sect, can only be regarded as a nouveau riche in cultivation. If he hadn't been influenced by the ascended immortal Lu Yang, he would never have had his current status. status.

Even on an expedition to an outlying island, Tian Beixi, who was born as the eldest daughter of a noble family, still would not treat herself badly in terms of daily food and clothing.

The camping tent she lives in can even be described as extremely luxurious. The decoration is very gorgeous and spacious. The exquisite food and unknown mysterious spices give off the tempting fragrance. The floor is covered with soft carpets, which will even make the guests feel like they don’t know where to put their feet. , cream-colored satin gauze curtains hung on the side walls, and the table in the center looked like it had just been moved from a quaint study. Everything was spotless and very clean.

If it were not for the messy military camp and dirty volcanic mud ground outside the marching tent, others would not be able to connect this luxurious marching tent with the front line of the difficult conditions of the outlying island war.

Tian Beixi was currently standing in front of a giant topographic map of outlying islands hanging on a shelf.

Since there are very few cultivators visiting outlying islands, local mortal residents cannot use the escaping light to conduct map mapping in mid-air like cultivators. In addition, the dense sea fog formed by the thousands of miles of smoke waves makes it difficult to use the starry sky and mathematical methods for positioning. It is difficult to work. Most of the maps of outlying island areas are as obscure and abstract as ancient Chinese maps.

But the map in front of Tian Beixi is different. Not only does it include the entire outlying island archipelago, it even has a scale as an annotation. It can be called an out-of-print masterpiece of an outlying island map. Even the Haiya Fleet cannot produce a map with the same level of surveying and mapping.

Just by looking at this map of outlying islands, we can see the gap between the two sides in war preparations.

The Haiya Fleet seems to be extremely powerful, but there are many internal contradictions. The Haiya Chamber of Commerce that came to fight is not fighting for itself at all, but is fighting a proxy war for the Wuliang Sword Sect. Naturally, all preparations are very rough, and the details are It's better to save what you can. Anyway, as long as the fleet is powerful and majestic on the surface, it will satisfy Wuliang Sword Sect and Lin Dong, and make people feel strong and awesome.

In contrast, although Tian Beixi only attended the meeting alone, he was fighting for his own reputation. Naturally, all preparations had to be done to the utmost detail, and he must do everything possible to defeat the Wuliang Sword Sect and the outlying island coalition forces.

Staring at this detailed map, Tian Beixi frowned slightly and moved his white fingers back and forth between the Outlying Island Strait and Yanbo Island, with a thoughtful look on his pretty face:

Calculating the time, the Haiya Fleet may have almost arrived at the outlying island strait, but the information transmission from the outlying islands has always been blocked, which made Tian Beixi, a cultivator accustomed to communication spells, very uncomfortable.

Not being able to completely control the movements of the Haiya Fleet always made her feel a little uneasy.

Tian Beixi was thinking about his next action plan, but was suddenly interrupted by a report from his subordinates.

"Fairy Tian, ​​we caught a fugitive who just ran from Haiya City!"

Tian Beixi is also a rare beauty, but the soldiers from Guhong Island who came to report did not even have the courage to look up at her.

Through the iron-fisted rule she showed in the past few months, Tian Beixi has established absolute authority in the hearts of the outlying island natives. Especially when she activated her spell to tear thousands of soldiers from the outlying island coalition into pieces, all mortals looked at her like It's looking at the devil.

Tian Beixi looked away from the map and said with some surprise: "A fugitive from Haiya City? Someone who just escaped to the island recently?"

"That's right, this person is a senior manager of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City. He just arrived in the outlying island area not long ago. I remember you said that you want to collect as much information about Haiya City as possible, so this sneaky guy I've escorted you here!"

"Haiya City Qingning Chamber of Commerce?" When Tian Beixi heard the name, he couldn't help being slightly startled, "Isn't that the Chamber of Commerce opened by Li Qingning? I remember the last time I saw Li Qingning, it was several years ago... "

Tian Daxiao and Li Qingyang have a close relationship, and Tian Beixi certainly recognizes Li Qingning.

It's just that Huoyunzhou and Zhongzhou are one hundred thousand miles apart, so Tian Beixi has only seen Li Qingning twice in total.

Although Li Qingning usually looks a bit naive and does not seem to have inherited her great-grandfather's scheming, Tian Beixi is still very impressed by the eldest lady of the Li family. The reason is very simple - Li Qingning's appearance is too good. !

Although Tian Beixi is a very rational person, she is also a woman. No woman does not care about her appearance, and no woman does not secretly compare herself with other women. Even though Li Qingning was only 18 years old at the time, and she herself was only 17 years old at the time, Li Qingning's incredible appearance had already been revealed, causing a ton of blows to the proud Tian Beixi.

Tian Beixi originally thought she was pretty enough, but after meeting Li Qingning, she still felt that her figure and appearance were slightly overshadowed by him. At least the eyes of the male cultivators around her were obviously more focused on Li Qingning.

No matter how much she tried to comfort herself, Li Qingning didn't look very smart, not as beautiful and smart as herself. However, from a rational point of view, she had to admit in the end——

Li Qingning is indeed more beautiful than herself!

Before meeting Li Qingning, Tian Beixi usually didn't dress up much. However, after meeting Li Qingning, even her master Tian Daxiao found that her precious apprentice seemed to like dressing up more than before!

Seeing that Fairy Tian seemed to be in a daze, the soldiers who came to report still did not dare to step forward to interrupt him. When his feet were almost numb, Tian Beixi came back to his senses from his wandering thoughts.

"Where did we just talk about...uh, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City, right?"

The soldier immediately replied: "Yes, this man's name is Ji Sihan, and he has been sneaking around our military camp. After we caught him, he shouted that he wanted to see you, and said that he was here to help you! "

Most of the mortals who escaped from Haiya City would settle on Yanbo Island.

As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is a traitor or a thief. This guy traveled hundreds of miles from Yanbo Island to help him on the front line of the outlying island. Tian Beixi always felt that something was wrong.

Despite this, any intelligence coming from Haiya City is worth noting. Tian Beixi finally waved and said: "Bring him here, be careful not to stain the carpet!"

The Guhong Island soldiers immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a wretched face was lifted up with his hands behind his back.

Ji Sihan, the mastermind behind the Luan Shicheng Mine corruption case, looks to be less than forty years old, slightly younger than He Mingyuan, but unlike He Mingyuan, who has an upright face with Chinese characters, this manager Ji's His appearance looks a bit like a deer-headed rat, and he doesn't look like a good person.

Seeing the soldiers from Guhong Island escorting him to an elegant beauty, Ji Sihan didn't understand his situation and immediately cried out: "Fairy Tian, ​​I really surrendered to Huoyunzhou sincerely, and I am definitely not Haiya." What a beautiful city!"
