lucky to meet

If he comes, he won't come, trouble.

Xia Yi only said that he was being polite, and said with a smile, "Don't dare."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shangguan Yun smiled wryly, "Master Xia, I'm really not good at it. I like to fight. There's no way the Lord will let me come. I have to." After speaking, he looked at Xia Yi with helplessness.

"Okay, since Lord Shangguan said so, then I won't shirk it."

Shangguan Yun stood up, "The banquet is prepared in the side hall, Mr. Xia please."

The dishes on the banquet were basically meat. Shangguan Yun told him that these meats came from the monsters in the Illusory Forest, and the fruits and vegetables were also special products of the demons.

During the toast, Xia Yi toasted a glass of wine and told them that he was not in good health and could not drink too much.

The three of them didn't make things difficult for him.

Xia Yi has no resistance to food, so she tastes a little of every dish, and if she finds something that suits her appetite, she will take two extra bites.

Talking about the two races during the meeting, Shangguan said, "I have been to the human race a few times, but they were all for business. If I have a chance in the future, I must take a good look."

Xia Yi said to him, "When you come to the human race, you must go to Xia's house as a guest."

He was interested in the Illusory Forest mentioned just now, and Yan Gu told him that it was one of the places where the demons practiced.

After Xia Yi listened to Xindao, it was indeed similar to what he guessed, or rather similar to what was written in the novel.

Xia Yi was very envious, so he said, "The demons are born to be extremely powerful, that's great, not like the human race."

Shangguan Yun shook his head, drank a glass of wine, and said reminiscingly, "You said that it was time in the Demon Realm. The demons in the Demon Realm were born with infinite power, and everyone can cultivate. It's like now." Shangguan Yun's eyes full of longing.

The city lord's name is Chen Yixiang, and he is a little fat.He sighed at the side and clinked glasses of wine with Yan Gu.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xia Yi changed the subject, "What's so interesting about the demon race?"

Shangguan Yun is a martial idiot, loves to fight, not interested in playing.

Yan Gu patted Chen Yixiang, "You have to ask him, he is familiar."

Chen Yixiang is the lord of the city, he eats, drinks and plays in other ways, "It's easy to say, Mr. Xia, I will take you there sometime."

"It's a word."

The four of them chatted very happily, Shangguan Yun was a straightforward person, he didn't like people who put on airs, after this meal, Xia Yi became more and more pleasing to his eyes.

Yan Gu praised Xia Yi very much.

Chen Yichang is a fine person, and he is very accurate at seeing people. He also received businessmen who came to do business before, but those businessmen were basically trembling in front of them for the first time.But Xia Yi is different, he is very calm.

Xia Yi also made a rough idea of ​​them, Shangguan Yun, although he is in a high position, he is bold, Yan Gu is a soldier, he is rough and fine, and Chen Yichang is a person with exquisite skills.

The banquet was over, and Xia Yi was too stuffed.

The other three drank a little too much and went back to their rooms.

Xia Yi originally wanted to go back to her room to rest, but her stomach felt uncomfortable, so she went out for a walk.

He recalled the roar of the beast, and wondered if the legendary beast looked very fierce?

The backyard is very large, with towering ancient trees and strange rocks. Xia Yi walked around a rocky mountain in front of him, and suddenly saw a lake with sparkling water.

There is a small world in the middle of the lake. Xia Yi walked along the stone bridge to the middle of the lake. In the lake, strange fish appeared and disappeared, and some even swam with him all the way.

The pavilions, towers and pavilions in this small world constitute a scene of their own, Xia Yi thought, the city lord will really enjoy it.

Following the path by the lake, about to walk around, a small black shadow appeared in front of him, running towards this side.It is a small animal that looks like a puppy. It has three tails. The tail is a bit like a plantain fan, and it is held up high.

This little guy circled around Xia Yi, smelled it again, and slowly lowered his tail, like the tail of a plantain fan, and closed it like a fan.

Xia Yi looked at it strangely, he had no resistance to this kind of furry thing.Xia Yi squatted down, wanting to touch it, but before he stretched out his hand, the little guy gave him a hard look, and walked back slowly.

Xia Yi touched his nose, as if he was despised.Shaking his head funny, he followed the little guy, wanting to see where he went.

At the corner in front, the little guy disappeared in a flash.

Xia Yi walked a few steps quickly, and found no sign of it on the small road ahead, did it run into the pavilion?

Go in and look for it?

Inappropriate, or forget it.

There is a pavilion in front of it, and there seems to be a person, whose back looks familiar from a distance.

The closer you are, the faster your heart beats.It was Zhou Mingyu, even though I had only met him three times, each time was very short.

Xia Yi stood where she was and closed her eyes, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.

With Zhou Mingyu's back turned to him, Xia Yi said pleasantly, "Benefactor, so you are from the demon clan, no wonder you can't be found!"

Zhou Mingyu turned around, not surprised that he appeared here, "Looking for me?"

Xia Yi walked into the pavilion and found that the little guy was there, squatting at Zhou Mingyu's feet, sticking out his bright red tongue.

"Yes, my father and mother said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, let alone the kindness of saving a life." As he spoke, he squatted down, reached out and touched the little guy, and it was really soft.

The little guy was not happy in his heart, but he seemed to be quite familiar with his master, so let him touch it, just a little.

Xia Yi still wanted to tease it, but saw it standing up and running back and forth outside the pavilion.

Zhou Mingyu glanced at Xia Yi's white wrist that was exposed because he stretched out his hand, "I've said it before, I don't need it, and don't call me a benefactor."

Xia Yi withdrew his hand regrettably, stood up, a cunning flashed in his slightly lowered eyes, touched his chin with his right hand and said, "You can't be called a benefactor!" After pondering, "Then call you Brother Yu."

Xia Yi deliberately didn't look at his expression, and continued, "Brother Yu, did you raise that little guy just now?"

Zhou Mingyu frowned slightly when he heard Brother Yu's name.

Xia Yi showed him three fingers, and continued, "Brother Yu, that little guy has three tails!"

Zhou Mingyu, "Change the title."

"Brother Yu, in my hometown, it is full of respect to ask people to bring a brother behind them. You have kindness to me, and you don't want me to repay it. Let me show some meaning in the address, so that I can go back and talk to my father." Mother also has an explanation." Xia Yi said sincerely.

Zhou Mingyu looked at you making it up, and you continued making it up!

Seeing his disbelieving expression, Xia Yi lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I know you don't like the way humans repay their kindness, but I just want to repay as much as I can." The more I said, the more wronged I was.

Zhou Mingyu thought in his heart, this person is really good, if he is called another name, it can be related to repaying kindness.This might bring tears to my eyes.

In a study room in the Border Town Surveillance Institute, the two stood one by one, and the standing young man reported the murder in Wangjiacun to the old man, "Elder, after several days of investigation, it is indeed the work of the demons."

The old man's eyes flashed brightly, "I see, let's go down first."

youth, yes

It was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the lake. Xia Yi sat on the stone chair, resting his chin with his hands, staring in rapt attention.

Zhou Mingyu has something to do and left.But knowing that people are in the Demon Race, there is still a chance.

……

On the second day, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Yi and Shangguan Yun were discussing business affairs, mainly rice noodles, wine, porcelain, tea, cloth, and salt.

It is said that it is doing business with the demons, and these things will eventually flow to the family of the demons, and have little to do with ordinary demons.

Salt is under the control of the imperial court. Because the Xia family traded with the demons, the imperial court temporarily allowed the Xia family to sell it. Not only the Xia family, but all five families were delegated power.

But it can only be sold to the demons, and when the five companies end their business with the demons, the right to sell will be withdrawn, and it is illegal to sell.Of the [-]% of the profit, the Xia family gets [-]%.

Shangguan Yun was in a daze, and Xia Yi told him that as long as the two of them finalized the main items for sale, then it would be nothing to do with them.They only need to write their names and fingerprints on the pledge at the end.

As for the price negotiation, just leave it to the professionals.Shangguan Yun had never heard of this word, Xia Yi explained to him, for example, the old shopkeepers he brought, they were originally in charge of these businesses in Xia's house, except for the salt business.

At that time, they will negotiate with your subordinates about the next things, such as how much they need per month, and the price.

They only need to report the result of the negotiation to us, and after the negotiation between the two parties, they can sign the pledge.

It was only then that Shangguan Yun remembered that apart from soldiers, none of his subordinates were capable of doing this.

"Young Master Xia, to be honest, none of my subordinates are good at this matter, so how about it, and we will formally negotiate in five days." Shangguan Yun said while holding his forehead.

"Okay, I'm fine here."

Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Xia Yi left first.

He doesn't need to worry about the shopkeepers on his side, they all do better than him.

After leaving the study room, seeing that it was still early, I walked towards the lake in the backyard.

Shangguan Yun was walking back and forth in the study, his brows almost wrinkled.

Just when he was frowning, he saw the book on the desk, walked over to pick it up, and after a while, "Come here."

The maid opened the door and came in, "My lord."

"Go and invite your city lord." Shangguan Yun put down the book in his hand, without turning his head.

"Yes, my lord."

There was a little expectation in Xia Yi's heart, hoping that Zhou Mingyu would be there today.

When he stood in the pavilion, his eyes darkened, and a trace of disappointment spread.

He stayed there for a while, then went back to his room and lay down on the bed.

He didn't even know if he was married or if he liked anyone.

A person like him should be liked by many people.

No, next time we meet, find a chance to ask.

Bah, bah... "Master, master?" Sister Mei knocked on the door outside.

Xia Yi rubbed her eyes, she didn't know when she fell asleep.After tidying up the messy clothes and hair, he opened the door and let Sister Mei in.
