Thirty miles west of Qingyang City.
The former "Qinghu Villa" now radiates around the entire villa, and many buildings have been expanded. It is the Yang family's base camp.
Without any explanation, Zhong Yan led Yan Sandao through the gate and followed the maid's familiar path straight in. Another servant went to invite Yang Yanqing.
Passing by a courtyard, a group of girls were playing shuttlecock and stopped to greet them.
One of the girls in a pink skirt rushed over and shouted "Dad" and "Second Mother" with a smile.
But it was Zhong Xining, the daughter of Xia He.
Zhong Yan smiled and touched his head: "Are you the only one?"
The girl smiled playfully and said, "Brothers Qi Ping and Qi An went hunting in the garden with brother Yang."
This girl, like her mother, has a lively and active personality. She often goes out with her brothers to play with other children from aristocratic families.
However, Zhong Yan has always been open-minded towards his children. In addition to reaching the seventh level of physical training, he will not appear weak and weak. He does not force him to pursue advanced martial arts realm. Instead, he releases the children's nature and allows them to develop their own hobbies.
For example, the eldest son Zhong Qixing did not like martial arts. After reaching the acquired first level at the age of ten, he maintained daily exercise and spent the rest of his time immersed in poetry.
Another example is Dongcao's son Zhong Qisheng, who has been exposed to the idea since he was a child. Now he is very interested in doing business at a young age.
"Well, let's play."
Zhong Yan nodded towards a group of children and went all the way to the front hall.
On the way, I saw busy figures walking around from time to time, including monks and warriors.
There is no doubt about Yang Yanqing's ability. He established his clan after the Wang Fang family, but now he is many times stronger than the other party.
"Friend Zhong Dao!"
On the corridor, accompanied by servants, a thin young man walked towards him. His face was covered with colorful tattoos, making him look a bit ferocious.
This person's name is '虺议明安'. He comes from a snake island near Qi State. He is a talisman master with a high level of talisman making.
At present, the Yang family's talisman shop is run in cooperation with him, but he has not joined the Yang family as a guest.
In Qingyangfang City, low-end talismans are the most popular in Zhongfu and Yang Family stores. The talismans are of high quality and reasonably priced.
For large forces like the Fire Cloud Sect, high-level talisman masters don't bother to make low-level talismans, as they can't make money as fast as high-level talismans.
"Fellow Daoist Daoist Daoist."
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, and he held his hands with a smile. They had met once before going to Fairy City, nothing special.
At this moment, being looked at by the other party gave rise to an uncomfortable feeling, as if being stared at by a snake or scorpion, and he actually couldn't see through the other party's level of cultivation.
After a simple greeting, the two parties passed each other.
Zhong Yan was suspicious in his heart, and speculated that he was still weak at first, so he couldn't sense it, but now his spiritual consciousness is strong enough, so he has a sense of crisis, which shows that the opponent's strength is extraordinary.
To the outside world, Ming'ang was a newly promoted monk at the first level of foundation building.
"Little Qingyang, hidden dragon and crouching tiger..."
Zhong Yan sighed and arrived at the side hall.
"Mr. Zhong, sit down for a moment. My master will be here in a moment."
The maid served tea and waited at the door with her servants.
Waited for a while.
Yang Yanqing walked in at a leisurely pace, followed by Zhou Qian.
"Brother Zhong is still free. I'm so busy that my heels can't even touch the ground."
"It's good to be busy."
After briefly chatting about the current business situation, Zhong Yan signaled to Yan Sandao, who immediately made an excuse to leave with Zhou Qian.
Yang Yanqing knew that business was about to be discussed, so he waved his hand and put up an isolation shield.
Zhong Yan said bluntly: "Brother Dao, I want to control Qingyang City."
Although he had received the message reminder from the Baiye Zhou family and had expected it, Yang Yanqing still looked a little ugly when he heard that he controlled Qingyang, and the implication was not to drive him away.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Yang Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "I wonder when I will mention this matter."
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Brother Taoist, don't be anxious. I got to know Brother Taoist when I first arrived in Qingyang. We have known each other for many years. If we don't have hard reasons, I don't want to hurt our friendship."
Yang Yanqing's eyes flickered and he heard the hidden meaning: "Could it be..."
Zhong Yan nodded and sighed: "I can't help it. Otherwise, with the current strength of Zhong Mansion, how could I dare to be so arrogant."
Yang Yanqing pursed his lips with a thoughtful expression on his face. He didn't ask further questions and waited for the next step.
Zhong Yan continued: "Wangxi is adjacent to Qingyang and covers a larger area than Qingyang. Brother Dao will move there and the prospects will be better."
Yang Yanqing was slandered in his heart.
As a big city, Wangdi has a longer history than Qingyang and a wider area with more people. However, including the cities of Heishui, Baiyan, and Shunyi, they are all remote cities in the Yan Kingdom, so Shunyi is relatively prosperous.
Qingyang City has developed rapidly in recent years, and in terms of tax revenue, it has already caught up with Shunyi.
Speaking of monks, there are now nearly ten thousand monks in the city. The newly built Qingyangfang City has also changed its original plan and expanded to one hundred shops, occupying two main streets in the southern district.
How can it be compared?
What's more, the family fortune and connections he has built up over the years in Qingyang will all go down the drain.
Zhong Yan said something shocking: "If the Liu family is gone, and the Taoist brother relies on the Zhou family, and the family is the only one, why worry about development?"
Yang Yanqing's eyelids twitched as he recalled the recent rumors in the city that the Zhong Mansion seemed to have conflicts with the Liu family and was not welcome to see them.
Zhong Yan said: "That's right, I'll trade Wangxi with you. If you and I join forces, the Liu family won't be a problem!"
For him, in addition to having deep feelings for Qingyang, there are also secrets overseas.
Regardless of whether what Su Yue said about the 'Dragon Veins of Broken Star Island' is true or false, there must be something extraordinary hidden there.
At that time, Qingyang will be a barrier and a connecting bridge between the Wei River and the land, which must be controlled.
Yang Yanqing's eyes flashed, and he took a breath and said, "Behind the Liu family is the Five Elements Sect. How can we eradicate it as soon as we say it will be eradicated!"
Zhong Yan said: "I bet that the Five Elements Sect will not care. They also have to consider the forces behind me. Since I have nothing to fear, I must have someone to rely on. And now that the Wei Kingdom is fighting, the main combat forces of all the forces have gone to the Wei Kingdom. The timing is perfect!"
Bet... Yang Yanqing's mouth twitched, but his words made sense. He was silent for a moment and said, "I don't seem to have a choice."
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Brother Taoist has such a wrong mentality. This matter is a good thing for you and me. As for the other forces stationed in Wangdi, Brother Taoist can ask the Zhou family to take care of them."
Yang Yanqing nodded and started asking for details.
The two chatted deeply for more than an hour before Zhong Yancai led Yan Sandao away.
Three days later.
In Qingyangfang City, next to the Liu family's "Shizhen Building", a "department store" that originally belonged to the Yang family was transferred to the Zhong Mansion, and renovation work began in a hurry.
at the same time.
The news spread that the Liu family's 'toll station' in Qingyuan Village was attacked and looted by a group of bandit monks, who stole more than one million prayer beads and killed and injured six monks.
Zhongfu, Cangbao Street.
There is a side hall in the first layer of the courtyard.
Zhong Yan received a summons from Peng Wanli and learned the time and route of the Liu family's tribute to the Five Elements Sect. He made some arrangements and then robbed it.
Yuan Ziyi walked over quickly and said: "Husband, Feifei has died!"
