"Is this Baiying City?" Zhong Wen asked in surprise, looking at the people coming and going and the bustling market below on the back of the bald eagle, "There is a raging war outside, but this place has not been affected much?"
"Baiying City is the third largest city in Xiqi Province and a transportation hub, so it is naturally prosperous." Shangguan Junyi sat in front of him, her delicate body gently leaning on his chest, and explained patiently, "And this place is far away from The front line is extremely far, and even if the Fulong Empire wins this battle, it will still take a lot of time to reach here."
Smelling the fragrance wafting from Shangguan Junyi's body and feeling the soft touch in front of him, Zhong Wen felt refreshed and relaxed. The fatigue from running around for days was relieved a lot.
"Sister Junyi, where is the branch of 'Shengyu Trading Company'?" Zhong Wen put his mouth close to Shangguan Junyi's tender earlobe and asked softly.
Shangguan Junyi felt numb and numb when his warm breath blew into her ears, and her whole body felt weak. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "Come with me."
The two of them found an open space in the city to land. Zhong Wen gave the bald eagle a few instructions and then followed Shangguan Junyi, turning left and right in the streets and alleys.
Not long after, a majestic and resplendent five-story high-rise building appeared in front of them.
At the main entrance below the building, there is a red plaque with four large golden characters written on it.
Although he didn't recognize every word, Zhong Wen could guess that what was written on the plaque should be "Shengyu Trading Company".
"Miss Junyi?" Stepping into the front door, an old man in red with a peaceful face came into their sight.
The old man was saying goodbye to two guests when his eyes suddenly glanced to this side. When he saw Shangguan Junyi, he was startled for a moment, then his face lit up and he quickly dismissed the two guests and walked towards Zhong Wen'er. The person is coming.
"Shopkeeper Zhao." Shangguan Junyi greeted the old man in red with a smile.
"Why is Miss Junyi here free?" Shopkeeper Zhao naturally knew Shangguan Tong's sister. While he greeted Shangguan Junyi politely, he glanced at Zhong Wen next to him, secretly guessing about the relationship between the two. relationship between.
"Nowadays, the war on the front line is tense, and a large amount of spiritual crystals are needed." Shangguan Junyi said softly, "The two of us came here precisely to raise a batch of spiritual crystals to bring back to the front line."
It turned out that when the two armies were fighting, the Daqian side used "tanks" to kill many powerful enemies and reaped the benefits. However, although this "divine weapon" was very good, it had a fatal flaw.
Burn money!
Every time a gun is fired, twenty-four spiritual crystals are consumed. The army does not carry too many spiritual crystals in battle. Except for the lighting needs, all the spiritual crystals in the army have been burned by the tanks. This kind of power is endless. The strategic weapon was unable to be used, which made General Xue very frustrated.
Zhong Wen searched the ring and found that in order to make room for other treasures, he only left a bunch of spiritual crystal cores but no ordinary spiritual crystals. He was immediately put in a very embarrassing situation.
He came here this time just to help the old general solve the supply problem of spiritual crystals.
As for why it was Shangguan Junyi who came with him instead of Shangguan Mingyue.
Just because as the leader of the spiritual master, Shangguan Junyi's "transportation ability" is obviously much stronger than Shangguan Mingyue, and he can transport some of the spiritual crystals back to the battlefield first.
Shopkeeper Zhao very enthusiastically welcomed the two of them into the VIP room inside the business house, and served them tea and snacks with great attentiveness.
"I wonder how many spiritual crystals Miss Junyi needs to allocate?" He suddenly asked while chatting.
"I'd like to ask Shopkeeper Zhao to transport 30,000 spirit crystals to Liangping Pass. All I need is the spirit crystals, no money." Shangguan Junyi said without hesitation, "Besides, I came here myself this time because I want to take some away first."
"Miss Junyi, thirty thousand spiritual crystals is not a small amount." Shopkeeper Zhao was surprised when he heard this, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I wonder if you have brought a token of the master of the Shangguan family?"
"No." Shangguan Junyi shook his head honestly.
After all, Shangguan Tong was the helmsman of the entire trading company and was busy with work. Although he had personally delivered some supplies to the front line, he did not stay there. Neither brother nor sister found a chance to meet each other in the military camp.
"What about the eldest lady's token?" Shopkeeper Zhao then asked.
"I came out in a hurry, and I didn't ask Yue'er for any tokens." Shangguan Junyi shook his head again.
"This is difficult to handle. According to the rules, the transfer of such a large amount of spiritual crystal requires the approval of the family head or the eldest lady." Shopkeeper Zhao looked embarrassed, "Although Miss Junyi is the direct sister of the head of the Shangguan family, she is not As you are involved in running a business, it would be a bit against the rules if I transfer the spiritual crystals directly to you."
"It's related to the frontline war and the safety of the empire. I wonder if shopkeeper Zhao can be accommodating?" Shangguan Junyi then remembered that due to her health, Shangguan Tong had never asked her to participate in the operation of the business bank, so although the shopkeepers of all major branches recognized her, However, she was just an acquaintance and had no official dealings with her.
"This..." Shopkeeper Zhao was in a dilemma after she begged her.
Thirty thousand spiritual crystals are enough for a small Baiyingcheng branch. Shopkeeper Zhao would never dare to use them at will without the approval of Shangguan Tong and his daughter.
However, he did not want to offend Shangguan Junyi, so he frowned and fell into extreme confusion.
There was silence in the room, and there was a bit of embarrassment in the air.
"Shopkeeper Zhao..."
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhong Wen suddenly broke the silence, “Is this okay?”
The eyes of Shangguan Junyi and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at him at the same time, and they saw an emerald green jade pendant in Zhong Wen's hand.
The jade pendant is exquisite in shape and crystal clear. It is absolutely extraordinary at first glance. It has a picture of a spring river and a bright moon carved on the front, and two large characters on the back.
"Isn't this Yue'er's personal jade pendant?" Shangguan Junyi's expression changed and she exclaimed, "Little brother, where did you get it?"
"She gave it to me." Zhong Wen replied truthfully, "I said I would take this and put it to use in all major branches of Shengyu Commercial Bank."
"Brother, can you lend me the jade pendant for a look?" Shopkeeper Zhao said politely.
Zhong Wen nodded and handed over the jade pendant readily.
Shopkeeper Zhao took the jade pendant, turned it over and over under his eyes, and looked at it inside and out for a long time. Then he raised his head and returned the jade pendant to Zhong Wen and said: "Yes, it is indeed the eldest lady's token. You two sit down for a moment. I am here." Just go buy the spiritual crystal."
"I didn't expect that the thing she gave me so casually would actually come in use." Zhong Wen smiled and turned his head, only to see Shangguan Junyi staring blankly at the jade pendant in his hand, seemingly distracted and not reacting at all to his words.
"Sister Jun Yi?" Zhong Wen gently pulled her jade arm, "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay." Shangguan Junyi shook his head, gently broke away from his hand, and turned his head.
Yue'er actually gave him a personal jade pendant!
From an angle that Zhong Wen couldn't see, Shangguan Junyi tried her best to suppress the surprise, panic, confusion and traces of sadness in her eyes.
…
In this way, the armies of Xue Pingxi and Gong Jiuxiao fought at Liangping Pass for several days. The battle became increasingly fierce, but they still could not determine the winner.
On this day, at the narrow entrance of the pass, Ximen Wangyue saw the white figure again.
"Little guy, what's your name?"
He was quite impressed by the magical boy who could resist his own sword skills with his body.
"Others like to call me 'Zhong Shenxian'." The boy in white looked directly into Ximen Wangyue's eyes without any hesitation, and said with a smile, "Old guy, what should you call me?"
"I am Ximen Wangyue, known as the 'Sword God'." Although Ximen Wangyue looks only in his forties, he is actually an old man over a hundred years old.
"Sword God?" A look of disdain appeared on Zhong Wen's face, "Does your itchy swordsmanship deserve to be called the 'Sword God'?"
"Ignorant junior." Ximen Wangyue's heart was still, and he was not irritated at all. He just smiled lightly and said, "Just because you have practiced some martial arts, do you think you are invincible?"
"Even with this level of horizontal training, you can't break it." Zhong Wen continued to stimulate him.
"Then let's try it." After all, Ximen Wangyue has a noble status. How can he allow a junior to provoke him again and again? He raised his hand and struck a sword. The powerful spiritual power condensed a huge snow-white sword in the air. The surface of the sword exuded... The mysterious and dazzling silver light pattern slashed straight towards Zhong Wen.
"Dang!"
Zhong Wen still refused to dodge, and faced Ximen Wangyue's spiritual skill with his chest. The long sword collided with his body, and there was an earth-shaking loud noise.
An unparalleled force came from the surface of the giant sword, causing Zhong Wen to look in pain, and he stumbled back several steps before stopping.
"Huh?"
Ximen Wangyue keenly sensed that Zhong Wen's defense was actually stronger than when they first met two days ago.
He didn't know that Zhong Wen had been writing and drawing on himself in the past few days, and had superimposed many spiritual patterns on it, pushing the power of the "Spirit Pattern Body Refining Technique" to a new level.
"Wan Jian!"
Zhong Wen carefully felt the location on his body where he was hit by the spirit sword. Although he still felt pain, it was far less heart-wrenching than the last time they fought. He immediately became determined, and with one finger of the long sword in his hand, he shot out streaks of golden and purple arrows. The spiritual sword light went straight to Ximen Wangyue's vital points.
"To have such strength at such an age, this little guy's talent is really rare in the world." Ximen Wangyue was an extremely proud man, but he did not hesitate to praise Zhong Wen. "Given time, your achievements will definitely be better than mine." superior."
As he spoke, he made a slight mistake with his feet and easily dodged the incoming spiritual sword light. Then he took a step forward and appeared above Zhong Wen's head. He slashed out another sword from a high position. The white giant sword transformed from spiritual power was astonishingly powerful and faint. Revealing the power of creating heaven and earth.
"Dang!"
Zhong Wen still refused to dodge and was thrown away by the giant sword. The pain on his face became even stronger, and his body floated in the air, but he did not forget to shoot a rain of spiritual swords to fight back at Ximen Wangyue.
Although this young man is very talented, his brain is not very good.
After fighting for several rounds, Ximen Wangyue couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that Zhong Wen was still determined to "test the sword with his own body."
After thinking about it, most geniuses in the world have their own paranoid side, so he stopped worrying about it, turned sideways to avoid the flying spiritual sword light, and slashed out a white giant sword again.
"puff!"
This sword condensed the lifelong skill of the "Sword God". Zhong Wen finally couldn't resist it and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body flew out diagonally like a kite with a broken string, and hit the bottom of a steep cliff hard.
"Such a talent, what a pity!"
Ximen Wangyue felt a little regretful, but he was not soft-hearted. He suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Wen, holding up the white sword in his hand, intending to give Zhong Wen a fatal blow.
Just as he crossed the corner of the cliff, several tall and mighty chariots suddenly came into view.
There was a huge metal pipe placed above each chariot, with the mouth of the pipe facing the direction where he was standing.
Around the pipe, there are hundreds of arrow slots densely arranged, and each slot reveals an arrow as white as jade.
Soul-breaking arrow!
Ximen Wangyue's heart was shocked, his pupils dilated, and he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
