Yuhuang Xin: I thought you would think this was a good thing. After all, in the arrangement of these three domains, neither the Quxi domain where the Yuan family is located nor the Xuanfeng domain where the Forging Sword Hall is located was selected.
Qin Fan just chuckled at this.
In his opinion, both the Quxi Region and the Xuanfeng Region are equivalent to winning the jackpot.
The former allows them to reasonably strengthen their understanding and penetration of the Quxi Yuan clan, while the latter allows them to make a more complete layout for the dispute on the Qianlong List.
But I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, or someone has discovered something fishy.
The arrangements for these three domains all turned out to be the worst option in Qin Fan's opinion.
First of all, Xuansha Domain is where the slave trade is most rampant, which also means that this place is not only hidden in a gang that harbors evil intentions.
More importantly, the large number of missing people is a stain that is difficult to erase for those in power.
If you want to solve the problem, you must dig deep into the matter and give the public a satisfactory answer. If it is not handled well, the Daxuan Dynasty can directly remove him from office.
Next is the Xuanfei Territory, which is the territory where [Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] is busy.
Originally this was a good choice, but after Qinglong Pavilion was whitewashed by the Daxuan Dynasty, trouble would follow.
Of course, this is also in line with the thoughts of the people in the court. They wait for the two forces to fight each other, and then they will clean up the mess at the minimum cost.
However, if you look at it this way, Qinglong Pavilion did not completely show its surrender to the Daxuan Dynasty, otherwise it would not be used as cannon fodder to consume the strength of the ghost market.
The last Xuanxing region, among the eleven regions of Nanxuan, is the only region where the local city lord's power is weaker than the six gates.
In other words, this place has been targeted by Sima Kongming, and during this period it has been managed by him into an impregnable base camp.
It was obvious that this was the opponent Daxuan Dynasty chose for Gui Shi. It also showed that although Nanxuan Prefecture seemed to be out of their control, in fact, every move was under their noses.
Qin Fan would not discuss this issue in depth with Yu Huangxin because of the other party's identity, ambition, and wariness of him.
Qin Fan: Where are the remaining five city lords?
Jade Phoenix Heart: Four were given to Mu Che, and the remaining one was given to the Za family.
Qin Fan: There are many people in the Za family, some of them are backed by the Star Alliance, and some of them have a very close relationship with the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Jade Phoenix Heart: It’s the former. This is an agreement reached with Qinglong Pavilion, and the same goes for Mu Che.
Qin Fan did the math and found that among the eleven city lord positions in Nanxuan, Mu Che now holds six, he holds four, and the remaining one belongs to Qinglong Pavilion.
At the same time, he was also facing off against some local forces hiding behind the scenes. As expected, the group of people in the court were very good at balancing.
Qin Fan: I understand.
Jade Phoenix Heart: You are calmer than I expected.
Qin Fan: If the opening time of the Hidden Dragon List is set to be two months or even three months later, I will directly put down the sound transmission token now and make corresponding arrangements.
Yuhuang Xin: It can’t be delayed that long. In fact, within these twenty days, some people in the court clearly opposed it and thought it was too late.
Qin Fan: It seems that everyone has the same thoughts.
Yuhuang Xin: What will you do on that day?
Qin Fan: You are too optimistic about the ghost market. I am just following the trend.
Jade Phoenix Heart: After Yu Cangmiao left the Buddha Land, he went straight to the north.
The topic of Yuhuang Xin was changed suddenly, but Qin Fan understood what she meant.
Qin Fan: You will also be very busy next. In addition to preparing for the position of the next six-door chief arrester, and Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, I promise that the people you kill will never let them live another day.
In addition, in a fair transaction, I agree to kill you, but it does not mean that I will give you the entire Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Jade Phoenix Heart: No one can occupy the entire Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion now, not me, not you, not even Queen Xuan.
Qin Fan: But if you and I work together,
You should be able to eat the biggest portion in one fell swoop, and compared to me, Xuan Cai is your top priority target.
Jade Phoenix Heart: Okay.
The two of them had anticipated this day since they had discussed the matter of Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Neither he nor she can become the real master of Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, but they can destroy it together and build a new power on its ruins.
What's more, neither Qin Fan nor Yuhuang Xin's next primary goal is Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, so after thinking about it for a while, the two chose the option that saves the most time and effort and has the greatest rewards.
Yuhuang Xin: Do you have anything else to do?
Qin Fan: Last question, except for the four of the eight major families who have made it clear that they will not participate in the Qianlongbang battle, what about the Huanjia Fang family in the northeastern capital?
Jade Phoenix Heart: They will send people there, and one of the tribesmen will have a great breakthrough in strength because he has awakened his destiny body.
Qin Fan: Only one clan member?
Jade Phoenix Heart: Do you think more members of the Huanjia Fang clan have fateful bodies?
Qin Fan: There are two more people I can confirm. You should know something about Yuan Xian, the leader of the Yuan clan.
Jade Phoenix Heart: Well, I heard that he is in retreat recently, and he is also integrating the power brought by the original owner of the destiny body.
Qin Fan: In the story of Yuanxian, no, I should say Yuan Shisanxian, his strength belongs to the first echelon, and the Huanjia Fang clan has two monsters stronger than him.
Jade Phoenix Heart: You are too superstitious about the influence of fate.
Qin Fan: When you read the story in its entirety and know the entire process, you will be able to conclude how much Heaven prefers the destiny body. In my opinion, it is even more favorable than those from outside the world.
Jade Phoenix Heart:......
Qin Fan: You seem unwilling to mention this matter.
Jade Phoenix Heart: The first stop of the Huanjia Fang clan should be the Wangyou Ghost Market. In addition, an eldest son of the Duan clan in Linlang ran away from home some time ago, and his destination was also the Ghost Market.
Qin Fan: Linlang Duan family? The Duan family of Xixuanzhou Prefecture? Aren't they not participating?
Yuhuang Xin: Only the eldest young master ran over to watch the fun, so his family wanted to say hello to you through me. After all, I am the host of the ghost market.
Qin Fan: Huanjia Fang clan... Linlang Duan clan... there should be more.
Yuhuang Xin: Are you referring to the Yuelinghua Clan and the Zi Nong Xie Clan? These two families didn’t let me say hello to you first.
However, their two clans are located in Southeast Prefecture and Southwest Prefecture respectively. They may know the situation of Nanxuan Prefecture and Ghost City better than I do.
Qin Fan: I understand.
When the Yuelinghua clan was mentioned, Qin Fan's expression felt unnatural for a moment. After putting down the token, he looked at A'er who was still reading the Daxuan Weekly.
"Do you want to go back?"
Ah Er shook his head: "I am Mr. Er from Ye Mansion and Ah Er from Ghost Market. Now I only have this identity."
"But you have to go back sooner or later."
Ah Er sighed and said, "At least not now."
Seeing this, Qin Fan stopped trying to dissuade him. He just reminded Ah Er to pay attention to the guests coming to the ghost market, and to report in time those who were suspected of being members of the Eight Great Generations family.
On his side, he briefly browsed through the Daxuan Weekly. The information behind it basically didn't have much reference value. For example, an article written by a great Confucian writer, he glanced at it and threw it aside.
Then he picked up the token again and made more detailed arrangements for the battle for the Qianlong List twenty days later. After all, he didn't have much time.
...
The secret realm of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Xia Jinyu was lost in the rocking chair. After hearing the increasingly clear footsteps, he reluctantly opened his eyes.
A touch of light blue fell into his eyes.
The slim-fitting palace dress outlines a perfect figure, and the fine cherry blossom petals embroidered on the skirt corners add a bit of elegance to her temperament.
Clean and clear eyebrows and a straightforward smile make the visitor look very special.
Charming, gentle and generous in temperament without losing youthful vitality, youthfulness and maturity complement each other.
But all this beauty was exposed by Xia Jinyu's words.
"Aunt Liu, why are you back again?"
At this time, Liu Lisha's smile became dangerous, and her whole body even began to faintly emit an ominous black aura.
"Ahem, okay, let's get down to business. Don't tell me that you are trying to avoid any rumors. As for the messy rumors about your daughter, your real father is about to become the father of the nation."
After Xia Jinyu stood up, he unfolded his folding fan and began to fan himself.
Liu Lisha took a deep breath, and as her chest rose and fell, she suppressed the rising anger.
"I'm here to exchange information with you. Now that we are a family, there are some things that we no longer need to avoid."
When talking about the three words "family", the shyness in his eyes flashed away.
"Oh, by the way, it's time for an exchange." Xia Jinyu's expression became more serious.
"First of all, the big shopkeeper should not be from any force."
Regarding this, Liu Lisha nodded and said:
"This is also the reason why the Daxuan Dynasty has never been able to completely annex the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
Xia Jinyu then said:
"Then among the remaining two, three, four, five, six and seven, you and I occupy four and seven. The remaining fifth, through previous testing and some recent arrangements, allowed me to confirm that behind him stood the Prince of Wuwei. .”
After saying this, Xia Jinyu gestured to Liu Lisha that after all, it was an exchange of information and he couldn't be allowed to tell everything by himself.
"Behind Lao Liu stands the Northern Man." Liu Lisha said softly.
Xia Jinyu raised his eyebrows, which surprised him a little, but he thought that the red blood bead used to attract the giant ape king during the previous beast tide war was purchased by him from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce at the internal price.
During this period of time when he was under house arrest in this secret realm, he was bored and looked through the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce's internal product catalog.
The red blood beads he used before have been replenished, and the inventory has been raised to ten.
It must be known that the only people who can refine this anti-human thing are the Northern Barbarians, and the ability to replenish the supply of goods in time shows that one of the other shopkeepers either has close cooperation with the Northern Barbarians, or is a member of the Northern Barbarians.
However, Xia Jinyu still needs further confirmation.
"reason?"
"Wang Zhiming."
Xia Jinyu suddenly realized that the two golden corpses of the Yiyi Buddha of the Underworld Corpse Sect were all transactions completed by Liu Lisha's hands.
That Buddha was assassinated by Zen Sect and transferred several times to Liu Lisha, but before disappearing, that Buddha went to the Northern Barbarian Alliance alone.
So the only ones who can get it are the Northern Barbarians.
"Did Lao Liu complete the deal with you?"
"Yes, of course I don't rule out that he may have gone through several hands, but according to my investigation later, he often moves in the north and south."
"North...south...then it's certain."
Regarding the fact that the three southern states were infiltrated into a sieve by the Northern Barbarians, Xia Jinyu also learned about it from Qin Fan for the first time, and then he suddenly remembered something.
"Is Lao Wu's slave-trading force also related to Lao Liu?"
Liu Lisha nodded:
"Most of the people sold by Lao Wu passed through Lao Liu's hands and were then sold to the cold places in the north to become slaves, so the two should be in a cooperative relationship."
"That's it." Xia Jinyu touched his chin, "Then when the annual judging comes, you will most likely directly surpass the fifth and sixth bosses and become the new fifth shopkeeper."
"I am more confident than Lao Liu. As for Lao Wu... the slave-trading power is not all he has, and he rarely shows up in the south." Liu Lisha shook her head slightly.
After Xia Jinyu thought for a while, he began to tell the background of his next basically confirmed shopkeeper.
"The second child is from the Daxuan Dynasty. To be more precise, he should be under orders from the successive Xuan Emperors."
Then he took out the previous issue
Daxuan Weekly and this issue of Daxuan Weekly, there are several small advertisements placed on the following pages. These are the properties of the second shopkeeper.
After Liu Lisha carefully inspected it, she said:
"What an excellent idea, but judging from the posture of the second child, it seems that he is not going to hide it anymore."
"Because there is no need to hide it. Behind him stands Emperor Xuan, who is also the famous second shopkeeper. He has already surpassed us when it comes to money-making channels, and now with such terrifying propaganda efforts.
It was obvious that his goal from the beginning to the end was to be the boss, so he didn't bother to continue to hide his background. "
Xia Jinyu curled his lips and then signaled to Liu Lisha.
This time Liu Lisha looked hesitant and then said:
"As for the situation of the three shopkeepers, I am not sure yet, but I can rule out Buddha Land and Tao Realm. They seem to have their own channels and do not need to rely on the power of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce at all.
And there are not many forces in this world that can hold up the position of shopkeeper.
Among them, the most questionable ones are the eight aristocratic families! "
Xia Jinyu frowned slightly. Although his placement under house arrest this time was decided by a vote from all the shopkeepers, the one who danced the most happily was the third one.
In addition to the fact that he has threatened his position, there must also be signs from the forces behind him.
The background of the shopkeeper he replaced was not well hidden in the first place. It had long been discovered that he was from the Constellation Alliance. After the news of Suzaku Palace joining the ghost market came to light, there were some more credible guesses about his origins.
It was not that other forces interfered, but the Suzaku Palace personally handed over this position to Qin Fan, thereby supporting him to become the fourth shopkeeper of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
That's why Xia Jinyu couldn't wait to clear everyone's background.
"It's impossible to confirm which family or families of the eight major families it is now. The most troublesome thing is that the entire eight major families are standing directly behind him."
At this moment, Xia Jinyu made a worst guess.
