Chapter 1225 Re-entering Guangling City
The yellow light swept through everyone under the city gate, and finally dispersed, seemingly not noticing anything strange.
Seeing this, the silver-armored general on the city wall nodded slightly and said in an emotionless voice:
"You can enter the city after being verified!"
Subsequently As soon as he finished speaking, the huge city gate began to slowly open to both sides.
Boom!
The city gate only opened a gap and then stopped. The general on the wall shouted: "You must enter the city quickly and don't delay here!"
"Yes!" !”
Lin Dong responded and hurriedly pulled the reins. The one-horned golden-eyed beast under the seat immediately understood, kicked off his legs, and jumped into the city gate in an instant.
After the entire team entered the city gate, the silver-armored general on the wall waved his hand, and the city gate slowly closed again. The whole process only took a few breaths.
After Lin Dong and General Chubby entered the city gate, they dismissed the accompanying sergeants and asked them to go back and resume their lives.
As for the two of them, they walked towards the city lord's mansion.
The originally noisy street is no longer as bustling as before. Although there are still shops selling various magic weapons and elixirs, there are far fewer monks coming to trade.
And soldiers of the Xuanyuan Army also appeared on the streets, patrolling almost everywhere.
“I have only been out for half a month. I didn’t expect that Guangling City has reached this point. It seems that the news we got before is still lagging behind. Now that the situation is like this, we should quickly hand in the task and go back to our cave to retreat. Go." Lin Dong looked at the monks patrolling the street and said with some regret.
"Brother Lin is right. We have been questioned three times along the way. Guo is very annoyed! There is an alley in front of us. It would be better for us to go through there and save ourselves more trouble on the way." The short and fat general He pointed to a corner ahead and said.
Lin Dong glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a shortcut there. I don't want to take the main road anymore. Go through there and turn around to reach the territory of the City Lord's Mansion."
The two reached an agreement and soon walked into the alley.
This alley is located in a remote area. It was originally the property of an alchemist. Later, the alchemist left Xuanyuan Territory, and the place gradually became deserted.
Halfway through the two of them, there was no one around. Lin Dong sighed again and said softly: "The fire at the city gate affected Chiyu. It was obviously a fight between the Xuanyuan royal family, but the ones who were affected were It’s us ordinary monks.”
Lin Dong complained, but the short and fat monk next to him rarely responded. He couldn't help but feel doubtful and turned his head.
But he saw the short and fat monk smiling at him:
"I'm sorry!"
"What?"
Lin Dong He was slightly startled, but before he could react, he saw the other party tap lightly, and a ray of green light penetrated into his eyebrows. The next moment he felt dizzy and stood still on the spot.
The short and fat man restrained Lin Dong and raised his hand to perform a magic trick. The green glow around his body turned, revealing his true appearance, it was Liang Yan!
He released his spiritual consciousness and observed the surroundings vigilantly. After making sure that there were no monks around the alley, he reached out and patted the Taixu gourd on his waist.
A white light emerged from the mouth of the gourd, sending out three people, none other than Xuanyuan Lingwei, Tan Youli and Zishan.
Tan Youli was carrying a person on his back. He was short and fat, and his appearance was exactly the same as the general Liang Yan had pretended to be before.
It turned out that these four people had been guarding outside Guangling City for most of the day. After finally waiting for a team to return to the city, Liang Yan used a trick to secretly replace himself with the short and fat general Guo Tong.
He had the Heavenly Secret Pearl with him and was not afraid of the detection talisman at the city gate. He also used the Taixu Gourd to collect several other people. With the help of two mysterious magic weapons, he led everyone to sneak into Guangling City without anyone noticing. .
"You really have great supernatural powers. The 'Sky Eye Talisman' just now was refined by the mighty god himself, but he couldn't even see through your true identity!"
Ye Shan's face was filled with tears. With a look of disbelief, he glanced at the gourd on Liang Yan's waist, and then continued: " And you, the gourd, can actually hide from the detection of the 'Sky Eye Talisman'. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to bring an entire army into the city?"
"Okay, don't talk too much! "
Xuanyuan Lingwei spoke at this time, with a rare hint of majesty.
After all, she is the daughter of Xuanyuan Potian. She is much more stable than Zishan. She knows that there are some things that cannot be said. Liang Yan is willing to reveal his secret and take them into the city. He has already given Tian a great face. At this time, he is still spying on others. The details are a bit shady.
Yishu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, stuck out his tongue, shrank back, and said no more.
"It doesn't matter."
Liang Yan shook his head. He didn't really care about this now. In comparison, how to bring down the second prince and help Xuanyuan Lingwei ascend to the throne was the most important thing.
Only if Xuanyuan Lingwei wins can he travel unimpeded in Xuanyuan Territory, otherwise Li Xiaosong will have no choice but to wait for death.
"I was talking to Lin Dong along the way just now. Judging from the news I got from him, your second brother should have entered the city. I don't know where he is in Guangling City now." Liang Yan said thoughtfully.
“This is simple.” Xuanyuan Lingwei replied: “After these few days of hard work, I have initially tamed the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. When the time comes, I will use my secret method to forcibly control it. If the second brother really If he is the mastermind behind this, then this demonic cow will definitely find him!"< br>
"Okay!"
Liang Yan nodded and said solemnly: "We have entered the city now, but we are alone. We need to find some helpers to be more confident. ."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Sun Qianli and Fang Jun from the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, I believe they will not fall to the second prince so quickly. There is also Qianlong from the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. I have some friendship with him, and he might help us." Liang Yan pondered. said.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lingwei thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I know Sun Qianli's character well. He will not act rashly until he sees the situation clearly. He should remain neutral now. As for Wen Fragrance Chamber of Commerce."
"The Fragrance Chamber of Commerce may not necessarily take action. I know this. After all, this matter involves the Xuanyuan royal family. The Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce may not be willing to get involved in the fight."
Liang Yan sighed softly: "But we have no other choice now, at least give Liang a try. I still have some friendship with the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. Even if they refuse to help me, at least they won't betray us." "That's it." Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded.
"In addition to these two major chambers of commerce, there is also Xuanyuan Qi who we can contact."
Liang Yan's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he continued: "From now on, we will divide our forces into two groups. You can go to the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce to find him. Sun Qianli and Fang Jun, I went to the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce to find Qianlong. After an hour, no matter whether we succeed or not, we will gather at the teahouse next to the Jialan Chamber of Commerce and go find Xuanyuan Qi together."
"Okay, everything will go according to Brother Liang's plan!" Wei's face was solemn and she bowed deeply to Liang Yan.
"After this incident, no matter success or failure, Ling Wei will remember Brother Liang's kindness!"
"Let's talk about this after the incident is completed." Liang Yan waved his hand and pointed at Xiao Lin Dong and Guo Tong in the alley whispered: "Take care of these two people."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Liang!"
Tan Youli said, walking towards Lin Dong and placing Guo Tong next to him.
The two stood in a row, both facing Tan Youli. At this moment, they saw Tan Youli perform a magic spell. They both woke up at the same time and opened their eyes.
But the moment they opened their eyes, they met Tan Youli's eyes.
The eyes were shining with a faint blue light, and a soul-stirring power was flowing in the pupils. The two people who had just woken up seemed to be in a daze, staring motionlessly at those eyes. .
I don't know how long it took.
When Lin Dong and Guo Tong woke up, there was no one in the alley.
"Huh? Lao Guo, was there anyone near us just now?" Lin Dong touched the back of his head and felt a dull pain.
"No, are you hallucinating?" Guo Tong also touched the back of his head. "Damn it, is there something mixed in your wine? It feels a little weird."
"That's a fine wine. You kid doesn't know how to appreciate wine. You just ruined me." Something!" Lin Dong rolled his eyes, snorted, and turned away.
When Guo Tong saw this, he cursed secretly and followed quickly. The two of them walked out of the alley together, seemingly having completely forgotten what had just happened.
After half a cup of tea, he smelled Outside the compound of the Incense Chamber of Commerce, a dark-skinned middle-aged man stopped.
The man looked around and made sure that there were no Xuanyuan Army monks patrolling nearby, then walked to the door of the courtyard and handed over a token.
After looking at it, the monk guarding the gate showed a look of surprise on his face. He glanced left and right and lowered his voice and said:
"Senior, please follow me."
Liang Yan nodded, remained silent, and followed the monk guarding the door all the way in, and soon came to a study room.
In the study, there is a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman. He is wearing gold and silver. He is very wealthy. He is the third elder of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, Qianlong.
"Palace Master Liang! What happened? Not long after you left the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, the entire Guangling City began to want you. Gan didn't know what happened. In the past few days, almost everyone Are you saying thank you behind closed doors?" Qianlong asked worriedly as soon as they met.
"It's a long story. Liang was inadvertently involved in the power struggle of the Xuanyuan royal family. Now he is Xuanyuan Lingwei's staff. And her second brother, Xuanyuan Haoyu , is now chasing us with all its strength."< br>
Liang Yan directly stated his position and situation in one sentence. As an elder of the Chamber of Commerce, Qianlong had dealt with countless people in his life, and he was also a good person. He understood it almost immediately. Liang Yan’s purpose.
"Palace Master Liang came to our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce for help?"
"That's right!"
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Liang doesn't like beating around the bush. This matter is extremely urgent now. Although Xuanyuan Haoyu apparently had the upper hand, he never imagined that Liang would not only not escape despite his serious injuries, but would instead return to Guangling City and now take advantage of the opportunity of using all their masters to search for us outside the city. As long as capture The second prince can accomplish great things!"
"The strategy is a good one." Qianlong nodded and said with squinted eyes: "But what does this have to do with our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce? All business organizations must focus on profit. You can't harm the interests of the Chamber of Commerce because of my elder's affair, right?"
"Of course."
< br>
Liang Yan nodded and said: "We are personal friends and business affairs are business affairs. When Liang came this time, he also brought a message from the Sixth Princess. As long as the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is willing to help her, the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce will expand the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce after the matter is completed. At the scale of Xuanyuan Territory, all the cities in Xuanyuan Territory will be A branch of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce can be established, and the trade between Xuanyuan City and the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce will increase by 30%!"
After hearing this, Qianlong narrowed his eyes. Eyes, pacing back and forth in the room, looking a little hesitant.
Liang Yan didn't say much. He knew that Qianlong had been in the business for a long time and was good at weighing pros and cons. Even if he spoke out, he might not be able to influence the other party's decision.
Time passed little by little, and after about half a cup of tea, Qianlong suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Liang Yan and said slowly: "Palace Master Liang, I'm sorry! I’m sorry for this!”
Although he was prepared, Liang Yan was still a little disappointed. He frowned and said, "Elder Gan, if 30% is not enough to satisfy you, Liang can make the decision and add an additional half percent! Or if Elder Gan has any other requirements, you can also Put it forward together, we can all By negotiation."
"Palace Master Liang, you are wrong. Increasing the transaction volume by 30% is already a huge fortune. How can Gan be a greedy person?"
Qianlong sighed softly when he said this, Then he said: "This matter is not a question of profit or loss. Our chamber of commerce has the principles of the chamber of commerce. The president has given repeated orders before coming here not to let us get involved in the right and wrong of Xuanyuan City. Now that the president is not here, even if you give No matter how great the benefits are, I am willing to I don’t dare to disobey the order.”
When Liang Yan heard this, he knew that the path of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce would not work. He did not expect that Weiwenxiang had given the order a long time ago. With his sage’s reputation, Wei, even if he lent Qianlong ten courages, he would not dare to disobey him.
"It seems that Liang has extravagant hopes." Liang Yan sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Don't be discouraged, Palace Master Liang. Although we can't help you blatantly, we can use some tricks secretly." Unexpectedly, Qianlong suddenly spoke again when he was most disappointed.
"Oh?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, "What is Elder Gan's clever plan?"
"Now the whole city is under martial law, and the major chambers of commerce who came to 'participate in the Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' They are all a little panicked. We, the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, can come forward and call on everyone to protest, either to advance the meeting or to let go of the city gates. If there is chaos, the Xuanyuan Army will definitely send people to suppress it, and then they can distract part of their attention, so that Palace Master Liang can do things conveniently."
Liang Yan frowned as he listened to Qian Long's words slowly. Gradually he relaxed, nodded and said:
“This is a good plan, Elder Gan is serious about it!”
