It was said that Zuo Yi would lead the way, but Zuo Yi's flying speed was really slow, so Li Qingfeng simply took him with one hand and let him guide the way while he flew.
The direction was straight north and slightly east. After flying for more than half an hour, Li Qingfeng could see smoke rising from the west - that was probably where Wangjia Village was.
Thinking about it carefully, the last time he came to Wangjiacun was almost ten years ago. In just ten years, the Li family has developed from nothing to what it is now. This can't help but make Li Qingfeng secretly satisfied, at least in terms of the results. Look, what I did was pretty good.
Only after feeling a little complacent, he calmed down again. The current situation was chaotic, which was both a danger and an opportunity for the Li family. If they could grasp it, they would be able to gain a firm foothold and move forward and retreat freely; otherwise, if they could not grasp it, the Li family would be in trouble. It's not impossible for it to just disappear.
Not long after passing Wangjiacun, Li Qingfeng felt the presence of a foundation-building monk in front of him. Sure enough, after flying for a while, Zuo Yi, who was being carried by him, said loudly: "Senior, my uncle is right here. It’s ahead!”
At this distance, the other party clearly sensed Li Qingfeng's arrival. A person flew up from the forest and flew toward Li Qingfeng with his hands raised, a gloomy smile on his face. If it wasn't Zuo Ni, who could it be?
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, long time no see!"
Li Qingfeng put Zuo Yi down, cupped his hands and said, "Long time no see, fellow Taoist Zuo, is this person a relative of yours?"
"He's my nephew," Zuo Ni nodded and told Zuo Yi, "Go back. Do you know what to say?"
"Understood." Zuo Yi nodded, saluted the two of them and said goodbye, then headed northeast.
Seeing him leaving, Zuo Ni looked at Li Qingfeng, smiled sinisterly, and said, "Come here, Fellow Daoist Li, and I, let's sit down and talk."
Li Qingfeng followed him and fell forward. There was a small pavilion there with a table and two seats. Tea was already placed on the table and was still steaming.
The two of them sat down, Li Qingfeng scanned his consciousness slightly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the tea, he picked it up and drank it slowly. However, he didn't ask Zuo Ni what was going on, and Zuo Ni didn't mention it. He took the tea and drank it, and only said this. Small talk about that.
Zuo Ni didn't mention it, and Li Qingfeng didn't even ask. He casually chatted with him, and the time for a cup of tea passed like this. Finally, Zuo Ni couldn't help it anymore, and raised his hand and praised: "Li Dao has a friendly heart and is so patient. I admire Zuo Ni." .”
Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng smiled in his heart. When it came to cultivating Qi, he believed that he was absolutely good at it, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and replied: "No, fellow Taoist Zuo is so complimentary."
"Haha," Zuo Ni laughed half-heartedly, stopped mentioning the matter, and finally got to the point: "I do have something I want to talk to fellow Taoist about this time. I just saw that fellow Taoist has a good character. It seems that This matter is settled.”
"Haha," Li Qingfeng also laughed: "Friend Zuo, why don't you tell me what it is about first."
"Okay," Zuo Ni didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point: "Do you know about the mutual security agreement between Jinding Sect, Shi Family and Wudao Sect that was agreed upon last year?"
"Is it about jointly sending monks to protect Da'anfang City?"
"Exactly," Zuo Ni nodded and asked: "But there is another clause in the agreement, which is 'unified acquisition and joint pricing of sales'. Does this fellow Taoist understand it?"
"I've heard of it too," Li Qingfeng said vaguely. In fact, he didn't know much about it, but since Zuo Ni mentioned it, it must have something to do with what he was going to say. In order to gain more initiative, Li Qingfeng decided to smooth things over first. Come down: "Is it a unified purchase internally and jointly negotiated sales externally?"
"Fellow Taoist is really well-informed." Zuo Ni raised his head and glanced at Li Qingfeng in surprise. He thought that as a new family, the Li family must have very few external sources of information, but he did not expect that Li Qingfeng even knew about this matter. I couldn't help but secretly guess in my heart, and mentioned the importance of the Li family.
"Since fellow Taoists have understood it, I won't talk nonsense and will make a long story short." Before Li Qingfeng could be humble, Zuo Ni continued to speak: "Among these three families, Wudao Sect is the most strict with its subordinates. All must be purchased and sold uniformly."
"Among its vassals, there is a foundation-building family called the Lishan Zhou Family. It mainly relies on the sale of ore for the family's income. This time it was affected by the co-insurance agreement. Due to Wudaomen's acquisition of his family's ore The price was too low, so he wanted to sell some privately, and I happened to have some demand, so I took advantage of this line."
Hearing the name "Lishan Zhou Family", Li Qingfeng couldn't help but feel stunned. He had some conflicts with the Zhou family when he was reborn, but later, the other party found a middle-aged man and invited him to have a meal. Opening up the conversation would end the conflict. After that, the two families had no contact with each other anymore, but they never expected that they would hear the name of the Zhou family again in this matter.
"I see," Li Qingfeng nodded slightly. The reason for privately selling goods made sense, but he still had one question that he didn't understand, so he asked: "But I don't know why Fellow Daoist Zuo told me about this matter? Fellow Daoist Zuo If you want to buy it, can’t you go directly to the Zhou family?”
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry," Zuo Ni chuckled and said, "This matter is my own business and has nothing to do with the sect, so it is inconvenient for me to come forward. As for my relatives, there are too few people and too many people." It's conspicuous and easy to be discovered by the superiors. This time I invited fellow Taoist here because I hope you can be a middleman and help me hand over the goods. As for the reward, I can share 10% of the net profit from fellow Taoist for each trip, how about it?"
10%? Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Let's not mention the reward for now, how should I hand it over?"
"The other party will put the goods in a mortal village in the northwest of Fang City. Fellow Daoist Li can just go there to pick it up." Zuo Ni stretched out his finger and made vague gestures on the table, and then said: "You don't have to go there in person." , it doesn’t matter if you send the clansmen there, after you get the goods, you just need to send them here, and we will take care of the rest.”
According to what he said, Li Qingfeng estimated the distance in his mind and frowned: "Friend Zuo, you don't know the current situation. Loose cultivators in the south of the town are running around. The distance here is not short. Even if I send people there, it is safe." How should the problem be solved?”
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li is such a good parent." Zuo Ni smiled sinisterly, but without saying much, he took out a pair of cloth shoe-shaped magical objects from his storage bag and placed them on the table, saying, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, I'll be there soon." Be prepared, these 'Forest Shoes' are most suitable for our mountainous and tree-filled environment in Ningzhou, and they also come with a concealment circle. When traveling in the forest, their speed is three minutes faster than an ordinary flying boat."
He stretched out his hand and made a few gestures on the table, and said: "The road we chose is remote, and there are no resources for cultivating immortals. Few monks pass by. As long as your family members wear this and walk in the forest, coupled with the concealment formation, it will be fine." It’s an ordinary foundation building, and you can’t find it from a distance.”
