At the end of late July, the Zhou family's monk's injuries were basically healed. Li Qingfeng did not leave him alone. After telling him his guess about Yuan Xiaodie's daughter, he asked Li Yuming to see him off.
Li Yuming led him as he had come, and sent him all the way to a place almost leaving Yuepan Mountain before returning, without being seen by anyone.
Although there were some accidents in the delivery of goods this time, nothing was lost. The Zhou family monk had always carried it with him - of course it was left at the Li family now. Li Qingfeng roughly estimated that based on the amount of goods in this trip, It should be able to bring nearly two hundred spirit stones to the Li family.
Of course, the things are still at Li's house, and they still need to wait for Li Yuming to deliver them before they can be exchanged for spiritual stones. Li Qingfeng told him to leave a message to the other party when he went there, telling him about the thieves in the Zhou family, and about Yuan Xiaodie He didn't plan to tell his daughter's guess, but the thief's matter might affect the smuggling, so it would be better to inform Zuo Ni.
This time, from the mouths of the Zhou family monks, Li Qingfeng not only got information about the purple skirt girl and other thieves, but also learned some things about the Zhou family and Wudaomen.
According to the monks of the Zhou family, just like the Jinding Sect, the Wudao Sect also has something similar to the "Jinding Mountain Collegial Conference", but it is more harsh on subordinates and requires that all products of each family must be controlled by the Wudao Sect. Acquired and sold by Wudaomen Uni-President.
It wouldn't matter if it was just like this. After all, compared with the safety of one's own family, some financial losses are not a big deal, but the key is that the five-door monks keep the purchase price very low. Like their Zhou family's ore, The purchase price is only about 35% of the previous price, which is really too low. Even if the Zhou family doubles its output, its income will still be less than before. No matter who it is, it can't sustain such a difference.
Naturally, there are many forces that are unwilling to join the collegial discussion proposed by Wudao Sect, and some even directly oppose Wudao Sect. However, Wudao Sect is even better than Jinding Sect in this regard, and they are not even willing to cover up their appearance. He directly introduced several Zhennan forces and wiped out all the most popular forces under his sect.
With such a lesson learned from the past, the Zhou family dared not say anything more, so they had no choice but to expand production and pay bribes to the monks from the five sects responsible for control. They also secretly contacted buyers and took some risks to engage in smuggling.
It can be seen that the monks of the Zhou family are very resentful towards the Five Sects this time. Li Qingfeng simply provoked a few words, and he vomited a lot about the Five Sects. Faced with this situation in his mouth, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but frown. Brows, after all, by doing this, the Wudao Sect will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from it, and at the same time, it will inevitably have the intention of excluding dissidents. Although the Li family has nothing to do with the Wudao Sect, there is no guarantee that the Jinding Sect will imitate the Wudao Sect's practices. If If that's the case, at the very least, my family's income will definitely be affected a lot.
But in the face of this situation, there was nothing Li Qingfeng could do. He could only ask the Li family to keep a low profile and take it one step at a time.
Just as he was thinking about this, Li Qingdong suddenly received news that Zuo Yi was here.
"Zuo Yi?" Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Go and bring him in and see what's wrong with him."
Li Qingdong responded and turned around to greet him.
When Li Qingfeng arrived at the living room, Zuo Yi and Li Qingdong were already there. As soon as he saw him coming, Zuo Yi stood up and saluted, and said straight to the point: "I have met Senior Li. This time my uncle has something to discuss with you. I sent you to invite me, he is already waiting for me at the previous place."
"Fellow Daoist Zuo?" Li Qingfeng frowned and was slightly shocked. After all, Zuo Ni would not come to him for no reason. Something must have happened. Could it be that something went wrong with the smuggling?
"Okay, I'll go there." He nodded slightly and decided to go and ask for details. Then, he told Li Qingdong: "Don't let Yu Ming go. I will take the things with me."
After saying that, without any delay, he took the goods and flew north with Zuo Yi.
Less than an hour after flying, they arrived at the place. Li Qingfeng saw Zuo Ni flying up from the forest in front to greet him, and his heart suddenly relaxed - Zuo Ni had a smile on his face. If something went wrong with the smuggling, he wouldn't Maybe it's this expression.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo," Li Qingfeng cupped his hands and asked directly without saying much, "Why are you calling me out to meet me this time?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't be anxious. I do have important matters this time." Faced with Li Qingfeng's question, Zuo Ni also raised his hand, then looked at Zuo Yi and ordered, "Go back first."
"Yes." Zuo Yi responded, said goodbye to the two of them, and headed northeast.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please come here." Seeing Zuo Yi leave, Zuo Ni looked at Li Qingfeng, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said: "To be honest with you, fellow Taoist, I invite you to come this time, and I want to say the same thing. Smuggling."
Hearing what he said, Li Qingfeng nodded, followed him, walked into the pavilion and sat down, and asked: "I don't know what the specific problem is? But where is the problem?"
"Problem? That's not true." Zuo Ni raised his eyes and looked at Li Qingfeng, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I blame me for not explaining it clearly. Don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
Seeing him like this, Li Qingfeng frowned slightly, and without saying much, he took some tea and drank it, waiting for Zuo Ni to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you and I have cooperated almost ten times, right?" Zuo Ni took a sip of tea and asked.
"This should be the ninth time." Li Qingfeng gave an exact number, took out a storage bag from his arms, and said to Zuo Ni: "This is the cargo for this trip, Fellow Daoist Zuo, take a look. "
"Haha, yes, it's the ninth time." Zuo Ni grinned, took the storage bag and confirmed it, nodded and put it away, took out nearly two hundred spiritual stones and piled them into a small pile, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li is really Believe me, these are one hundred and ninety-four spiritual stones, please keep them, fellow Taoist."
This amount was about the same as Li Qingfeng had estimated. He hummed in his mouth and put away the spirit stones with a wave of his hand. Seeing him like this, Zuo Ni suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, have you ever heard of the 'Red Mountain Pattern Stone'?" ?"
"'Chiyue Pattern Stone'?" Hearing Zuo Ni suddenly mention this, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the other party, and said: "This is a fire-attributed ore, right? I heard it is a good material for casting magical weapons. I have not seen."
"Haha, that's right. Fellow Daoist Li is so young, he is really well-informed." Zuo Ni praised, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Li Qingfeng as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, we have cooperated. Nine times, I think you are reliable. In that case, I won't hide it anymore. The Zhou family in Lishan does make a living by selling ore, but there is another key thing in their family, which is the 'Red Mountain Stone'. "
