After what happened outside the city gate, Zhao Shun was also very curious about the current situation in Zhongjian City. What Wu Yujin said was exactly what she wanted, so Zhao Shun did not refuse. He immediately agreed and rushed with her to the Wu family in Zhongjian City. The city's mansion.
The Wu family's Shanxing Hall is located on a long street in the city, but the other town where the clan members live and practice is located on a secluded hilltop.
Because of Wu Zhan's death, Wu Yujin was quite depressed. His expression did not relax much all the way outside Beifu. Zhao Shun was distracted and paid attention to the surrounding situation. When he and everyone stepped into the outer hall of Beifu, he saw seventeen The eight-year-old man walked out in broad strides. His eyes moved slightly, and he first glanced at the monks who had entered the mansion. He thought that Zhao Shun was also a casual cultivator hired by Wu Yujin, so he turned his eyes back to the latter and said unceremoniously:
"Why are you so late? Do you know that the price of elixirs in the City of Swords changes every day? Just because you are late these days, you will lose as much as 30%!"
This man has triangular eyes with hanging tips, and his tone is quite aggressive. Seeing that his cultivation level is also in the True Infant realm, we know that this man's status in the Wu family clan should be higher than that of Wu Yujin.
Now Zhao Shun is here, about to be questioned by this person in front of his benefactor, but Wu Yujin is also a little embarrassed. She pulled out a wry smile and apologized to the man in a low voice: "I had bad luck this time. On the way -"
"It's too late. It's useless to use any excuse!" Seeing Wu Yujin trying to defend himself, the man shouted down and said, "Don't continue talking. If you have the skills to blame everyone here, why not?" If you don't hurry up and hand over all the medicinal materials, the last batch of goods was delivered to the shop three days ago. Now is the time of shortage. I happen to have something important to go to the shop. Please give me the medicinal materials. I can make up for it right away!"
"How can this be done?" Wu Yujin's face turned sharply and he asked anxiously, "According to the rules of the clan, these medicinal materials should be registered and stored in the warehouse. If you take them directly...Brother Yuanping, you and I have known each other for many years, naturally. I know that these medicinal materials are valuable, so my little sister, I invested 80% to 90% of my net worth in order to purchase these things. No matter what, I must at least get my principal back!"
Wu Yujin was pleading here, but he couldn't make Wu Yuanping change his mind. The latter raised his eyebrows, and there was already a hint of threat in his eyes.
"So what, the battalion elder is now practicing in seclusion. I am fully responsible for all matters related to Shanxing Hall. If I say it won't be put into the treasury, it won't be put into the treasury. How can you say anything? I haven't taken into account your overdue fault yet. If you let me report this matter after the battalion elders are released, do you think the elders will punish you for dereliction of duty and seize those cargo boats from you!"
The full name of the battalion elder mentioned by Wu Yuanping is Wu Ying. Although he is also from a side branch, he still has some qualifications in practice. Since breaking through the realm of externalization, the clan has handed over the affairs in Zhongjian City to Wu Ying. Later, his descendants also settled in Zhongjian City, and Wu Yuanping was the son of Wu Ying.
The other party has the protection of the elders and has been rooted in the Sword City for many years. He can be said to be the answer to a hundred calls in Beifu. If Wu Yujin dares to fight against him, he will definitely not get anything good from him.
She was able to get acquainted with Wu Yuanping, and it is said that it has something to do with Wu Zhan's long-sleeved dance. If Wu Zhan were here today, there might be some room for improvement. Unfortunately, Wu Zhan is dead, and Wu Yuanping doesn't look down on himself, a little monk... ...Wu Yujin gritted his teeth and tasted a little rust in his mouth. After a moment, his expression turned gloomy. He flicked his sleeves and released several palm-sized flying boats.
"You know what you are doing." Wu Yuanping chuckled, and immediately opened his big hand and took down all the flying boats. After counting them again, he put them into his sleeves with satisfaction and said, "Where is Wu Zhan? Although he is mediocre, , at least he has a bit of a tongue, I want to take him to work in the shop, it is his luck."
Wu Yujin's face darkened even more when he heard this, and he said in a low tone: "Wu Zhan... had an accident when he was crossing the city gate, and was killed by people from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance."
"Dead?" Wu Yuanping frowned, and was quite surprised by this. "That's a pity. It would be unlucky for him to be infected by that evil thing."
Then his face became slightly solemn, and he warned in a low voice: "You guys, please don't worry too much about this matter. Since it was the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance who did it, they will be killed. There is not much peace in the city now." , I’m afraid something is going to happen, if you let me know at this juncture that you have done something bad, it will involve the clan!”
After saying this, he left without even looking at the people present.
"Yu Jin, let him take the goods and leave now, what should we do?" Seeing such a shocking change, several real infants who had always known Wu Yu Jin also looked a little bleak. As the guards of the clan, although they were not reliable He earned remuneration from the profits of the business, but after hearing that elixirs were in short supply in Zhongjian City, they all invested a lot of money in Wu Yujin. Now, after finally transporting the medicinal materials to the city, they were intercepted by Wu Yuanping Middle Road. Anyone with a clear mind knows that these medicinal materials will never come back.
This incident was bad news to others, but to Wu Yujin, it was a bolt from the blue.
In order to purchase these medicinal materials, she not only invested most of her wealth in them, but also borrowed a large amount of spiritual jade from her clan. Now that she has lost all her money and cannot make back her principal, she also has to pay back the spiritual jade she borrowed from her clan. Not even up to that. When the deadline is approaching, if she can't plug this shortfall, she will probably not be able to save the cargo boats in her hands.
"Most of my medicinal materials are precious, and the elixirs I prepared are not common. Wu Yuanping took these medicinal materials, and he will probably only be able to get rid of some of them in a short time. I still know a few people in Shanxing Hall. Let me ask Ask them to see what they can do, and try not to draw water from a bamboo basket but lose everything!"
Wu Yujin sighed in a low voice, and then noticed that Zhao Shun stood nearby and watched for a long time.
"Benefactor..." She couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment, her face flushed for a moment, and she murmured, "Under the current situation, I'm afraid I can't introduce the senior swordsmen in the clan to my benefactor. Can I ask my benefactor to stay for a few more days?" I'll finish the matter at hand and entertain my benefactor well."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal." Zhao Chun smiled and shook his head, then said, "I heard from fellow Daoist Wu that he is going to Shanxing Hall after this. I wonder if you can let me go with him?"
The Wu Family Villa was built near a mountain. The location was quiet and quiet, so it was not in a noisy part of the city. She didn't know the other members of the Wu family, so she couldn't find out more information if she stayed in the mansion. It would be better to follow Wu Yujin to Shanxing Hall to see what the situation was like in the city, and why Wu Yuanping thought it was not very stable. . (End of chapter)
