Rise of Nongmen

The news was reported by Shopkeeper Xiao himself. Usually the other party would greet people with a smile, but at this time they were a bit gloomy.

Ye Chen knew it without asking, but he was afraid that the person who came was not kind.

The fact is also the same. Shopkeeper Xiao is a reasonable person. Even if he is very angry at the moment, he does not take subjective emotions when explaining the problem, and explains the ins and outs of the matter in a few words.

There is only one contradiction. Royal family guests want to exchange Yuanyu from Zhenbao Pavilion at a low price. How low is the price?It was lower than the friendship price, that is to say, this asking price made the Qing'an Hou Mansion very uncomfortable.

The royal family is obviously using their power to overwhelm others, but the Qing'an Hou Mansion has to follow suit. As for the specific price, this requires negotiation between the two parties.

It's not that Ye Chen didn't understand the truth, but he was still very upset after hearing it.For a moment, he thought that it would be better to tear up his face, but he just thought about it, not to mention anything else, just the fact that most of Xiao Jinyan's family is in Xijing is enough for him to overthrow this strategy.

It's not appropriate for Ye Chen to come forward to discuss this matter, and shopkeeper Xiao is not qualified, so we can only discuss it carefully after Xiao Jinyan arrives.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, how many people from the royal family have come, are they aimed at Yuanyu, or do they have other plans?" After pondering for a while, Ye Chen asked.

"It looks like it's coming for Yuanyu, but the specific reason will not be known until after careful investigation."

Ye Chen quickly made a decision: "Okay, I know about this, you just drag them along, and we can talk about the business after Jinyan returns to the city."

Shopkeeper Xiao immediately took the order and left.

Later, Ye Chen also got up and left, he planned to find out the details of the other party.

The person who came this time was a descendant of the clan, not the current emperor's lineage, that person was a monk, his soul power was not strong, but his cultivation was not weak, and he had reached the late stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

Ye Chen had never seen this person in the medicine garden of the trial site, either he didn't meet at the right time to catch up with the first appearance of the Chuan Gong Pagoda, or he was eliminated before.

But no matter what the situation is, it shows that the royal family's ability to overwhelm many aristocratic families to ascend to the throne is indeed powerful, and it is not pure luck.

Ye Chen knows that he is not the only one who has adventures in the world, not to mention the royal family, other aristocratic families may also have them, and what's more, there are unknown soldiers who take advantage of the situation to rise.

In a sense, Ye Chen also belongs to the latter.

Of course, it doesn't rule out the royal family's bluffing, but this possibility is not high. Even if they don't take out a clan at random, there will be people with this level of cultivation, at least the number of monks will not be small.

Knowing this, Ye Chen never thought of showing weakness. This is not in line with the current environment. Only by showing strength can he deter others, and reduce the so-called cooperation like the royal family. In fact, it is no different from buying and selling by force.

Ye Chen didn't show up, and directly released his soul power a few streets away from Zhenbao Pavilion. It was the same as when he faced shopkeeper Xiao before. He clearly told the other party that someone was watching them. As long as his soul power wasn't too weak, he could immediately aware.

The guests from the royal family lived up to expectations. That clan dared to risk their lives. As expected, there were two brushes. Immediately, several people resisted subconsciously, trying to push out the tentacles of soul power that Ye Chen had reached to his side, but none of them really succeeded.The push was pushed out, but the other party condensed their soul power into a needle shape, easily breaking through their own defense line built by soul power. It was really just a light prick, and the body-protecting soul power dissipated like a bubble. Half will be difficult to condense.

Ye Chen stopped as soon as he saw it, and didn't chase after him. When the guests, mainly from the clan, tried their best to calm down and couldn't hold back their face, he slowly withdrew his soul power, as if he was not afraid of the other party's pursuit.

The clan was so calm that they didn't take advantage of this to fight back, but gave up resolutely, and said directly to the accompanying people: "Master Xiao, you are heretic, there are experts in the house, why don't you come out and let me Wang has seen it for a while?"

Shopkeeper Xiao was sweating coldly in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Instead, he went up the ladder: "Kang Junwang, there are not many masters in the mansion, but there are a few. I don't know who you are talking about?"

"..." The astonishment flashed across King Kang's eyes, and he quickly realized, and then he looked as usual, and said slowly, "Then please come here."

"This, I'm sorry, it's difficult for me to do it." Shopkeeper Xiao looked embarrassed.

"Why? Isn't this king's invitation enough?" Speaking of this, King Kang's smile was on his face, and he looked quite majestic.

Shopkeeper Xiao was not in awe, but he did not take it seriously, and said sincerely: "King Kang, I am sorry that I am incompetent, and the masters are arrogant, and they may not even listen to the words of their eldest sons. You have nothing to do with them. Afraid that they..." refused to buy it.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Prince Cheng's expression softened slightly.

"Then sit down for a while and come when you go down." Now that the words have come to this point, shopkeeper Xiao didn't evade any more excuses, and immediately resigned, leaving behind the elders of the Xiao clan who were specially called to accompany him.

In terms of identity, these people are obviously higher than shopkeeper Xiao, but everyone present knows that shopkeeper Xiao is the only one who can really speak up about Yuanyu. If it weren't for this, how could King Kang I am so honorable and kind to him, I'm afraid I don't even have the desire to talk to him.

Soul power has a wide range of uses, it can be used not only as eyes, but also to transmit information, not to mention attack and defense.

Ye Chen understands a truth, that is to use his own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. He has good talents in gold and wood, but compared with soul power, he is much inferior. He mainly focuses on soul power cultivation, and the rest is auxiliary.Over the past few months, among other things, his control over his own abilities has been increasing day by day. One of the functions of who is called soul power is to be good at controlling. If he does not maximize his advantages, his life in the last years will be in vain.

Because of this, when Ye Chen used his soul power, he did not treat everyone within the range of the soul power equally, but separated them into several levels. King Kang and his party came here with power, so there is no need to be polite to them. However, as for shopkeeper Xiao, he directly sent a message to the other party through his soul power, so shopkeeper Xiao would slander him in his heart.

Playing a full set, shopkeeper Xiao didn't go straight to Ye Chen stupidly, but took the Qing'an Hou Mansion.What he didn't know was that as soon as he stepped out of the back door of Zhenbao Pavilion, someone left under the signal of King Kang Jun, but they didn't follow behind and scattered directly into various parts of the city.

Ye Chen also doesn't know about this, but it doesn't matter. There are so many patrolling officers and soldiers in the city. It's not that they are looking good. In the past, it was difficult to cause trouble with small things. Now that the royal family of the county king level is coming, the protection level has increased. In name, it is to protect the safety of royal visitors, but in fact it is one. On both sides, in turn, it also made King Kang and his party all under the gaze of everyone.

When Shopkeeper Xiao walked into the Lanyuan, Ye Chen was taking a sip from the tea bowl. He looked so leisurely, and Shopkeeper Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Really the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

Bah bah, this is not right, he is a normal person, how can he use that to describe himself, he made a few bahs in his heart, shopkeeper Xiao looked serious, and immediately reported the development of the situation.

Ye Chen squinted his eyes and listened carefully. Unexpectedly, just as shopkeeper Xiao opened his head, there was movement outside. With the shaking of the door curtain, Xiao Jinyan's figure appeared in front of his eyes, and a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.

Shopkeeper Xiao was very tactful. After greeting him, he immediately reported concisely why King Kang had come and what he had just asked for, as well as how he responded. Then he stood quietly and waited for Xiao Jinyan's orders.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Jinyan said to Shopkeeper Xiao: "Just follow your own ideas, just say that the 'expert' disagrees, and I will go later."

"Yes, young master." Shopkeeper Xiao immediately took the order and left, leaving space for the two of them.

As soon as the people left, the room became quiet for a moment. Xiao Jinyan glanced at Ye Chen, who was smiling but couldn't hide the tiredness between his brows and eyes. In this way?"

"Accidentally placed by Lingbao, don't worry, the matter has been resolved." Ye Chen followed up immediately, his eyes following Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan was already used to Ye Chen's behavior. Seeing the other party staring at him as he changed his clothes, not only did his expression remain unchanged, but he could also open his mouth to talk: "Are you very short of Yuanyu?"

Ye Chen didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being seen through, and said with a smile on his face: "Yo, you are indeed the one I fancy, and he hit the nail on the head so quickly."

"Not too much, I can even out a hundred yuan." Xiao Jinyan ignored the other party and directly expressed his attitude.

"For me?" Ye Chen looked surprised.This is nothing else, but Yuanyu, which is the most in-demand item right now. Didn’t you see that the price of jade has risen since the opening of Zhenbao Pavilion?That's all, the key is that Yuanyu is calculated based on the initial price, and does not give an extra piece as the price of jade soars.As a result, a piece of yuan jade could be exchanged for a piece of jade worth 500 taels to 2000 taels, but now more than 2000 taels may not be able to win.

"You can think so if you want." Xiao Yanjin was very frank, and didn't deliberately hide her thoughts.

Ye Chen looked disappointed, but since Xiao Jinyan said so, how could he please the other party's kindness, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, isn't it?As for when to return it, he didn't even think about it, he didn't care even if he didn't see Xiao Jinyan, why did he make the distinction so clearly?Obviously, this is not the public property of the Qing'an Hou Mansion, nor is it owned by the Zhenbei Army. He doesn't feel embarrassed at all about his daughter-in-law's stuff.

Having seen enough, Ye Chen finally remembered the business: "Just now I gave the royal family's guests a big blow. The Qing'an Hou Mansion should not suffer much in this big business. You know how to do it better than me, so I won't get involved. I just want to remind you that it is better to be tough than show cowardice and be seen through. This time I am here mainly to discuss with you about expanding the business of Zhenbao Pavilion..."

Xiao Jinyan didn't interrupt, just listened quietly, and waited for Ye Chen to finish speaking before saying: "This idea is very good, but there is no valuation standard right now, Zhenbao Pavilion buys spiritual things at a low price, and everyone will know the value later, which will easily cause public outrage. "

"Don't worry about these things. The Treasure Pavilion is open for business. Everything is marked at a price. If you think it's too cheap, you don't want to sell it. Since you choose to sell it, that's what you want. If you regret it in the future, you can only blame yourself for your bad eyesight. Can you blame us?" Obviously, Ye Chen's thinking direction is different from Xiao Jinyan's, he is not like Xiao Jinyan, he needs to be comprehensive in all aspects, and get the highest return at the lowest price.

But what Ye Chen said made sense, Xiao Jinyan was not an indecisive person, and before he had a better solution, he decided to follow Ye Chen's suggestion.

Xiao Jinyan originally thought that Ye Chen would stay, but unexpectedly, once the matter was settled, the other party left with his more than a hundred yuan jade and his private treasury key. No, this was really beyond Xiao Jinyan's expectation. For a moment, he felt uncomfortable, and then his face darkened. How could he get used to it?

But it was hard for Xiao Jinyan to tell what was wrong.

Out of sight is pure, Xiao Jinyan gave up thinking about this big problem in life. After Ye Chen left the mansion, he also left. There are no fewer than ten soldiers.

That night, Ye Chen settled down in a small county town. He did not forget the purpose of his trip. The small protective array——Xingluo Array got his wish, but in fact, it was a kind of restriction.

What is a restriction? It is an item that keeps people or other living beings out, and what's more, even the breath is isolated from the outside. It is not limited to formations, but formations are the most widely used.

The falling star formation is also a phantom formation. Whenever a living thing steps into it, it will see the illusion of catastrophe such as falling stars, and subconsciously stay away.

The refining threshold of this formation is relatively high, but the technique is not difficult, and the refining materials are relatively easy to find. The overall difficulty is not as good as that of Juyuan formation and Jinyuan formation.

After getting Xingluo, Ye Chen must use it as soon as possible, otherwise he won't let go of the great opportunity to connect with Xiao Jinyan.

At dawn the next day, Ye Chen set out on his way home and arrived at Beihuang Farm before dusk. After a short rest, he entered the mountain and set up an array to protect the source of the spirit veins.

After the protective array is activated, there is no need to deploy a lot of manpower to guard, and it is enough to send small teams of soldiers to patrol every day, which greatly improves the security of the manor

It's a pity that even if the materials for refining the Starfall Array are not hard to come by, compared to the refining materials for the Juyuan Array and the Gold Element Array, Ye Chen doesn't have ready-made array materials at hand, so he has to cultivate them by himself.

The importance of the Qiankun Pearl is fully reflected at this moment, but it is a pity that the refining method of the Star Falling Array is only available now. Although the growth time of the required array materials is relatively short, the harvest period may be later than the formation of the talent test array materials. day.

Running around for several days, Ye Chen's current physique would not feel tired at first, but who would have thought that something went wrong in the middle, the Qiankun Pearl was robbed of a lot of vitality by the source spirit vein, and it almost collapsed, although it finally stabilized, it still affected Ye Chen , the damage to the mind and soul is not serious, but it is easy to get tired and tired. Otherwise, with the willpower he has cultivated in the last days, how can it be so easy for people to notice his haggard complexion?

After resting for a few days, he was heartbroken again. After taking the Soul Condensing Grass, the only leaf bud grew recently, and Ye Chen's tired face was swept away. Although he was not as energetic as before, he was no different from ordinary people, and he couldn't see any abnormalities. After a while, the collateral effect caused by the Qiankun Pearl will completely fade away.

Recently, Liuyan has lived a very comfortable life, and Ye Chen can feed it vigorously, as long as it can absorb and digest, he can give as much rice leaves as he wants.

The effect is also remarkable, Liu Yan eats oily and smooth, his coat color is extremely bright, and his endurance and speed increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's not tiring at all for more than 300 miles.

"Eat more, and strive to catch up with Blazing as soon as possible." During the break, Ye Chen took out the rice leaves of Biling Valley to feed Liuyan as usual, thinking of his brother, he couldn't help but say something.

Liuyan neighed, seeming to agree, but also expressing dissatisfaction as if he understood it, and finally ended by burying his head in binge eating.

Ye Chen smiled, the rest was over, and he continued to move forward.

This time the journey was smooth, neither Lingbao was delivered to the door nor anyone with a special physique was bumped into by him, and he arrived at the destination without any surprises on the afternoon of the third day.

Yanxi Prefecture is obviously more prosperous than Northwest Prefecture. As soon as you enter the city, you will be greeted with lively atmosphere.

Liuyan was too eye-catching, before leaving, Ye Chen painted it with a layer of dye, of course it was a pure natural and harmless kind.

After this treatment, Liuyan's coat color became a little bit darker, and she no longer looked so eye-catching, but she didn't fall to the same level as a poor horse. She was still in the ranks of good horses, but she couldn't walk on the street, so she won't be noticed frequently.

If so, Liu Yan also had a displeased face, and Ye Chen took a while to comfort him before he was willing to obey.But it's no wonder that anyone who is suddenly made ugly can still laugh heartily.

The Yun family is well-known, and it may not be known in Jinmin County. Of course, most people must have heard of it, but it is only limited to word of mouth. In Yanxi Prefecture City, it is well known in the city. Get a lot of news from Yunjia.

It is true that Yun Erlang is the second son, but he is the son of his first wife, and he is not liked by his stepmother, Mrs. Wen.The other party's heart is not poisonous, but he is partial to his own children, always wanting to win more for them, and often puts eye drops on the two unsightly step-children born before him, but has no intention of putting them to death.

This kind of situation is the most annoying, the hatred is not complete, the love is not able to love, like flies, buzzing around the body all day long, fortunately, it is the Da Yue Dynasty who respects filial piety, in the last days, someone dares to try like this .

Yun Xiao also has an older brother who is said to be in poor health and will get sick from time to time. He also lost his mother since he was a child and has a weird temper. , I don’t go out very much now, and I haven’t married a wife so far.

Mrs. Wen once told him about a family relationship. It seemed that the woman was not very smart, but she was not a fool. If he didn't agree, the matter would be settled.

No, now that Yunxiao is old, the other party didn't say anything about his younger brother going over him, let alone obstructing him. It seems that the relationship between the two brothers is not bad.

That's all Ye Chen can inquire about, and it's gone if you go deeper.Rumors may not be credible, he plans to visit Yun's house in person, of course, to touch it quietly.Judging from the information he collected, Yun Erlang's intention to marry Ye Xue was probably out of his own will, not the order of his parents or the words of a matchmaker.

Ye Chen wouldn't conclude that Yun Xiao's actions are not desirable based on this, as long as the other party has some brains, he wouldn't use his brains on it. Thinking about it, once the Ye family agrees to the marriage, Yun Xiao should have a way to get his father's consent.
