Shentu had just returned to Anping City and was living on the streets. He was sick and hungry and almost died.
But by coincidence, the place where he fell happened to be Liu Menglong's shop, and he was saved by Liu Menglong.
Liu Menglong wanted to let him join Tongzhou Commercial Bank, but Shen Tugang was not a businessman and could only serve as a guard. Unexpectedly, there was no shortage of escorts in the business during that time, so Liu Menglong introduced him to a bodyguard agency.
This escort agency not only escorts escorts, but also provides escorts for major businesses.
Shentu Gang was upright and not afraid of death. He soon became the backbone of the escort agency, and his cultivation level also increased rapidly, all the way to the late stage of Lingtai.
After Yangtian Pavilion was established, Liu Menglong hired ten guards from that escort agency, with Shen Tugang as the captain.
Liu Menglong was kind to him, so Shen Tugang really worked hard for Yangtian Pavilion.
"Brother Shentu was actually a disciple of the Huofeng Sect and fought with the Mu Sheng Sect!" Zhou Yang was very surprised after hearing Shentu Gang's story.
Huofengmen, Mu Shengzong, Houtu Sect, Shuigui Tuan and Jinlingdao are the Anpinghe Five Elements Sect, which are the peripheral forces of Anping City after Wanjianmen. These five forces are usually not united and often attack each other to compete for resources.
And Wanjianmen is proudly in the middle, sometimes helping gold to make fire, sometimes helping water to attack soil. As long as there is an advantage, Wanjianmen will not be stingy in taking action.
So as time went by, the Five Elements Sect didn't have a good impression of Wanjianmen. In addition to the internal conflicts among the five sects, they actually reached a surprising consensus on the issue of Wanjianmen, which is to join forces to fight.
The relationship between the Five Elements Sect and Wanjianmen has cooled down sharply, and war is about to break out.
After Shen Tu finished speaking, Zhou Yang finally understood the reason why Qiang Xian started the war.
Continuing with Shen Tugang's topic, Zhou Yang also told the two of them about Wanjianmen sending troops to destroy Mu Shengzong.
"After all, this is the sect that belongs to two generations of our father and son. It makes me heartbroken to see the Wanjian Sect being eaten like this!" Shen Tugang sighed.
The remaining four forces of the Five Elements Sect combined are not as good as Wanjian Island. It is only a matter of time before the Huofeng Sect is eaten.
"Yes." Zhou Yang and Mo Chenglong shook their heads helplessly. No matter how ruthless Huofeng Sect is, it is also the enlightenment sect of Shen Tu Gang and his son. Just like Zi Yuan Sect is in Zhou Yang, what they hate is not the sect but some people in the sect.
"By the way, Manager Liu asked me something privately before he left." Shentu just hesitated for a moment and then added.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Ask me if I want to join Tongzhou Commercial Bank."
"Oh, why would Brother Menglong bring this up now?" Mo Chenglong asked doubtfully.
"Have you mentioned it before?" Zhou Yang asked.
"No."
"It's a little strange. Could it be..." An idea flashed in Zhou Suo's mind, and his heart was shaken.
"Why, do you know the reason?" Seeing Zhou Yang's expression was different, Zao Tugang asked hurriedly.
"It's just a guess. Maybe I guessed wrong."
"Whether it's right or wrong, you tell the truth."
"I heard someone say before that relevant personnel of Tongzhou Commercial Bank seemed to have visited Wanjianmen during the war." Zhou Yang said.
"Are you saying that Tongzhou Commercial Bank also participated in the war launched by Wanjianmen?" Shen Tugang's face was a little heavy.
"I said, it's just a guess." Zhou Yang shook his head. It was indeed speculation before, but combined with all these things, and now Liu Menglong's move to invite the former disciples of the Huofeng Sect to join the industry, he has already confirmed the matter, but it is difficult to say it out loud.
"Manager Liu's invitation to join me at this time is also related to this war?" Shen Tugang's frown deepened.
"That should be it. You were originally a disciple of the Huofeng Sect, and you have fought against several sects, so you naturally know a lot about the inside of the Five Elements Sect. If Tongzhou Commercial Bank really wants to participate in this battle, it will have a very good idea to recruit you now. Good internal response." Mo Chenglong said.
Zhou Yang nodded after hearing this.
Shen Tugang was silent. Naturally, he was unwilling to act as an internal agent for Tongzhou Trading Company and Wanjian Sect to attack his own Enlightenment Sect. But Liu Menglong had a grudge against him, so it would be really difficult if he tried his best to invite him.
After the banquet was over, Shen Tu just returned to his room gloomily.
Mo Chenglong and Zhou Yang made an appointment to go together tomorrow to see the opening of Tongzhou Commercial Bank's stores and auction houses.
Late at night, in Zhou Yang's quiet room, furnaces of elixirs were put into elixir bottles. It was not until dawn that he stopped refining elixirs.
Now, he is very proficient in refining Huang Ling Dan, and his success rate has steadily increased, which is completely different from when he first learned to refine the elixir. However, he did not immediately try to refine Fire Spirit Pill with Fuego Grass because Huang Spirit Pill was in urgent need now. Four people, no, it should be five people were in urgent need of Huang Spirit Pill, but Zhong Pengfei was not included among these five people.
But there should be a sixth person who needs Huang Lingdan soon. And what he needs is the Fire Spirit Pill.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yang and Mo Chenglong came to the street located in the center of the store area. At this time, the street was already crowded and noisy.
Zhou Yang discovered that the plaques of two shops facing each other on this street were very similar. One was Tongzhou Commercial House and the other was Tongzhou Auction House. The two two-foot-long plaques were both covered with big red silk flowers.
In addition to the six storefronts on the street, the auction house also has an auction hall covering an area of more than ten acres. The hall has two floors. It occupies a large area and has a strong momentum. It is second to none in Tu Yan's store area.
The drums and harps were playing in front of the shop, and people were coming and going inside and outside the shop, making it a lively scene.
At three o'clock in the morning, six people walked out of the store, and there were two at the front. Zhou Yang knew one of them, who turned out to be Wang Wuji, the leader of the Ziyuan Sect. I don't know the other one, he should be a senior executive of Tongzhou Commercial Bank.
Among the next four people, one is his uncle Zhong Pengfei, the other is Wang Chenggong, the elder of Ziyuan Sect, and the other two should also be from Tongzhou Trading Company.
The six people stood in two rows, with Wang Wuji and the senior executive of Tongzhou Commercial Bank in front. After a while, one of the four people behind came out and pressed down with his hands, and the drumming stopped immediately.
He faced everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Ming Dajing, the foreign affairs deacon of Tongzhou Commercial Bank. Today is the day when our Tongzhou Commercial Bank establishes a branch in Tuyan City. It is also the day when Tongzhou Auction House Tuyan Branch opens. I would like to thank you all for coming. It's polite here.
Today, I have the honor to invite Wang Wuji, the head of the Ziyuan Sect in Tuyan City, Shi Zhonghao, the manager of Anping Tongzhou Commercial Bank, Wang Qinggong and Zhong Pengfei, two elders of the Ziyuan Sect, and Yu Xingye, the deacon of the Anping Auction House. Well, on behalf of the Tu Yan Branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sect Leader Wang, Manager Shi, the three elders, deacons and everyone for coming!
Next, Sect Leader Wang and Manager Shi unveiled the Tu Yan Branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank and the Tu Yan Branch of Tongzhou Auction House respectively! Have fun! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the drums and drums started to blare, and the crowd was full of voices. Wang Wuji and Shi Zhonghao walked to both sides and pulled off the red silk on the plaque. The people outside cheered again, and the drumming became even more energetic.
When Wang Wuji and Shi Zhonghao walked back, Ming Dajing pressed down his hands again, the drums stopped, and everyone stopped making noise. Ming Dajing said: "Everyone, I would like to ask Sect Master Wang Wuji to say a few words to us. I would like to ask Sect Master Wang!"
Wang Wuji is of medium height, wearing a purple robe and a purple crown on his head. He has profound cultivation and extraordinary appearance.
He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, today I am honored to attend the opening ceremony of the establishment of the Tongzhou Commercial Bank branch and the opening ceremony of the Tongzhou Auction House. On behalf of the Ziyuan Sect and on behalf of Tu Yancheng, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations! At the same time, I would like to express my sincere congratulations to General Manager Shi and the two deacons for their arrival. Sincere welcome!
The catastrophe in Tuyan City has just come to an end, and everything is waiting to be done. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators are working hard to survive and stay strong. Fortunately, when I, Tu Yan, was in dire straits, Tongzhou Commercial Bank lent a helping hand to help us rebuild Tu Yan and restore our home, so that one hundred thousand cultivators could once again live in peace and prosperity, and live in peace. It can be said that Tu Yan was saved from water and fire, and the cultivators were saved from danger. .
I, the Tuyan people, will definitely remember this in my heart and always be grateful. On the occasion of the establishment and opening of the commercial bank, on behalf of Tu Yan’s hundreds of thousands of fellow cultivators, I once again express my gratitude to Tongzhou Commercial Bank for its righteous deeds, and jointly wish Tongzhou Commercial Bank prosperous business, prosperous people and wealth, and that our friendship with Tu Yan will last forever! "
What Wang Wuji said raised Tongzhou Commercial Bank to a very high position, making Shi Zhonghao, the foreign affairs manager on the side, secretly nod.
Zhou Yang, however, felt unhappy. He signed an unequal contract and was still flattering others. It seemed that Ziyuan Sect had really become a vassal of Tongzhou Trading Company.
After Wang Wuji finished speaking, Ming Dajing said again: "I would like to ask General Manager Shi to give you instructions!"
Zhou Yang was even more upset when he heard this. Wang Wuji just said a few words, while Shi Zhonghao gave instructions. Isn't this a slap in the face in public?
Even everyone in the Ziyuan Sect frowned at this time.
Shi Zhonghao was a head taller than Wang Wuji. It seemed that the two of them had come to an agreement. They were both dressed in purple robes and wore purple crowns.
At this time, he also said loudly: "What Sect Master Wang just said made our Tongzhou Trading Company very happy and encouraged. Our Tongzhou Trading Company has done some things for Tu Yan City, but we can't talk about saving Tu Yan from fire and water, or even It's far from enough. However, the crisis of the interpreter is not real, and some things have been done.
Nowadays, Tongzhou Commercial Bank and Ziyuan Sect are based on the principle of friendly coexistence and mutual help to jointly rebuild Tuyan and prosper Tuyan, so that hundreds of thousands of Tuyan cultivators can live and work in peace and contentment and have no worries in cultivation. This is also our original intention of establishing Tuyan branch.
In the future, I hope that the Tu Yan branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank and Zi Yuan Sect, as well as all the practitioners in Tu Yan City, will work together, work hard, work together, and create greater glory! Just as Sect Leader Wang said, our Tongzhou Trading Company and Comrade Tu Yan will definitely prosper in terms of people and wealth, and the friendship between the two sects will last forever! Immortal for thousands of years! "
As soon as Shi Zhonghao finished speaking, Ming Dajing echoed loudly: "Immortal for many years! Immortal for thousands of years!"
The crowd also shouted "Immortal for many years! Immortal for thousands of years!"
Zhou Yang curled his lips. Although Shi Zhonghao's words were high-sounding, they were all self-promotion. He was singing along with Wang Wuji and complimenting each other.
From what the two people said, it is easy to tell that Ziyuan Sect is obviously in a subordinate position, and its weight in the hearts of the top management of Tongzhou Commercial Bank is not very important.
However, the two people's attendance at the opening ceremony also marked the official entry of Tongzhou Commercial Bank into Tuyan City, and also marked the beginning of the official cooperation between Tongzhou Commercial Bank and Ziyuan Sect. To be precise, it was the beginning of Tu Yancheng's loss of autonomy.
