There was still no movement in places further away, but news came from places closer to An City that businesses were starting to have problems. Not only was there interference from the Emperor Xiling, but there was also the shadow of the Da Chu State or the Prince Ding Mansion. Master Murong thought of the white-clothed figure with a calm smile in the hall of the Murong family, and his face became more and more unsightly.
This was just the beginning. When the Murong family found out that their businesses in Great Chu, Nanzhao, and the Northwest all had problems at the same time, and their shops were either closed down or forced to close. Some of them were even directly confiscated. Only then did the Murong family's head truly understand how powerful that elegant and otherworldly man was.
"Bastard! Is that Xu boy crazy?! "In the study of the Murong family, Murong Xiong was furious as he read the news reported by his nephew. Murong Mingyan stood behind her grandfather, and her face was covered in tears. She never thought that Xu Qingchen would attack the Murong family in order to not marry her. Murong Xiong said angrily, "Pass down the order! I want the Prince Ding Mansion to not be able to buy a single iron mine in the Northwest! "
Master Murong smiled bitterly and said, "I just received news that there are iron mines in the Northwest, and … the Prince Ding Mansion is not only doing business with the surrounding countries, but also with the countries of the West. The Martial Arts Society Convention hasn't even started, and the Northwest has already attacked our shops. I'm afraid … Xu boy didn't come with good intentions this time. "Murong Xiong was so angry that he gasped for breath." How much did the Murong family lose? "
Master Murong said, "All our businesses outside the West Hill are gone."
The Murong family's foundation was in the West Hill. Although they had businesses in other places, they weren't enough to really affect the other party's economy, so they didn't have to worry about attacking. He was afraid that when the Murong family's businesses collapsed, the merchants in their own country would celebrate. "The West Hill also suffered heavy losses. Not only did the Jhennam Of Gojoseon and the officials suppress us, but many merchants among the people also began to attack us. "
The Murong family monopolized more than half of the businesses in the West Hill, so they naturally had countless enemies. Murong Xiong sneered and said, "Since they want to fight with us, there's no harm in letting them see how deep the Murong family's wealth is!" How could the Murong family's wealth be limited to the shops outside? Even the gold and silver accumulated over hundreds of years was enough to crush those who went against them.
The Murong family's master said hesitantly, "Uncle, I'm afraid that this isn't appropriate. Wouldn't that give Jhennam Of Gojoseon a legitimate reason to interfere? " If the conflict between the merchants was too serious and affected the common people, Jhennam Of Gojoseon could directly order his army to wipe out the Murong family and no one would say anything. Murong Xiong could not help but frown. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was not proficient in politics or business.
While the two of them were frowning and thinking hard, a servant came in from outside and reported, "Reporting to Master, there is a young master Ren Qining outside asking for an audience." Master Murong frowned and said, "Ren Qining? Who is that? " Murong Xiong had some impression of him and said, "The one who won first place in the martial arts competition. Unfortunately, he is too young. If he was ten years older, he might be able to surpass Ling Tiehan and Lei Zhenting. " The Murong family's master had no interest in Ren Qining's martial arts. Even if Murong Xiong's cultivation was profound, he was helpless in the face of the Murong family's current deadlock. "What does he want?"
The servant reported, "Young master Ren said that he can resolve the current deadlock for Master."
The Murong family's master was startled and turned to look at Murong Xiong. Murong Xiong's old eyes slightly narrowed and said, "Let him in."
Not far from the Murong family's residence, two people were sitting leisurely on a lush tree branch and looking at the Murong family's gate.
"Li, what do you think Ren Qining wants to do by coming to the Murong family at this time?" Mo Xiuyao asked curiously.
Ye Li shook her head. She wasn't an immortal, how could she know so clearly? Mo Xiuyao sighed and said, "We clearly said that we would come out to play, but why do I feel more tired than usual?"
Ye Li leaned on his chest and said with a smile, "Isn't that the one who doesn't know martial arts? Although he has the Shadow Guard to protect him, you also know how powerful that Murong Xiong is. If he suddenly turns hostile, what's the use of Big Brother's intelligence? "
If Xu Qingchen and Murong Xiong came face to face and made up their minds to kill him. Even if Xu Qingchen was the smartest person in the world, it would still be a waste. In the face of absolute strength, any scheme would be useless.
Mo Xiuyao sighed and lowered his head to look at Ye Li, "Li is right. Now that Ren Qining is also involved, we really can't leave." Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Ling Tiehan teamed up to deal with Murong Xiong, but they only had a fifty percent chance of winning. If Ren Qining was added in, it would be hard to say what would happen. Mo Xiuyao didn't care about the others or the Murong family, but at least they had to ensure Xu Qingchen's safety. "I'll go in and take a look."
Ye Li pulled Mo Xiuyao back and said, "Murong Xiong's martial arts are much higher than yours. It's better if you don't take the risk." Mo Xiuyao smiled and looked at her. He reached out and gently brushed her hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Even if I'm discovered, I can't beat them. Can't I run?" Ye Li frowned and stared at him, "Be careful."
Mo Xiuyao nodded and let go of Ye Li. He silently bypassed the large number of guards in front of the door and went into the Murong family.
At this time in the study, Ren Qining was looking at the three people in front of him with a smile. He was leisurely fanning himself with the fan in his hand.
"In the end, who are you and why have you come?" Murong family's head coldly looked at the gentle and scholarly looking man in front of him. He was very clear that this person was different from Young Master Qing Chen. This person's martial arts were ranked first in Jianghu.
Ren Qining smiled and said, "My surname is Ren, Ren Qining. Greetings to Murong family's head and Senior Murong. "Murong Xiong coldly snorted. Ren Qining suddenly felt his heart tremble. His blood rushed to his head and he almost fell to the ground. While his heart was amazed by Murong Xiong's profound internal energy, Ren Qining's face was calm. He smiled and praised, "Senior Murong is really a senior expert. This junior admires you."
Murong Xiong sneered. How could he not hear that Ren Qining was reminding him not to use his martial arts to bully the younger generation? "Young Master Ren, you didn't come to the Murong family to praise this old man?"
Ren Qining smiled and glanced at Murong Mingyan. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I came to ask for Miss Murong's hand in marriage."
"Ask for her hand in marriage?!" The three people in the study were stunned. Murong Xiong was the first to react. He sneered, "Why do you think this old man will marry Mingyan to you?" Ren Qining casually tapped his palm with the fan and slowly said, "Now … besides me, is there anyone else who is willing to marry Miss Murong?"
"Impudent!" Murong Xiong angrily shouted.
Ren Qining was not afraid at all. He smiled and said, "Senior Murong, please don't be angry. Although my words are unpleasant to hear, Senior Murong can't deny that this is the truth. The Murong family is big and powerful. Naturally, there are not many people who are qualified to marry Miss Murong. Senior Murong must have understood Young Master Qingchen's attitude these days. Pavilion Master Ling is probably standing on Young Master Qingchen's side. Or … does Master Murong plan to marry Miss Murong to the Da Chu State? "
With Murong Mingyan's status, she would at most be an imperial concubine after entering the palace. Not to mention the imperial concubine and the empress. The Da Chu State did not lack money. The importance of the Murong family in Emperor Chu's eyes was questionable. At that time, he was afraid that he would suffer a double loss. The Murong family would lose their only daughter and their entire family business.
"Do you think you are qualified to marry Mingyan?" Murong Xiong stared at him and said coldly.
Ren Qining smiled and said, "Although I am not as rich as the Murong family, I still have some ability and family background." Murong Xiong snorted disdainfully. No matter in Jianghu, he had never heard of the name Ren Qining. There was no powerful family with the surname Ren. An unknown brat dared to be so arrogant. Ren Qining did not get angry when he saw Murong Xiong's contemptuous expression. He said with a smile, "Senior Murong, how about you give me some pointers?"
Murong Xiong did not have time to ridicule Ren Qining for overestimating himself. He saw Ren Qining's sleeve move and a strong wind attack the Murong family's head. The Murong family's head did not practice martial arts. He was shocked by this sudden change and did not have time to dodge. Murong Mingyan, who was standing to the side, clenched her teeth and a dagger appeared in her hand. She stabbed it towards Ren Qining. Ren Qining smiled slightly. His fingers moved quickly and easily took the dagger from Murong Mingyan's hand.
Although this move was exquisite, if young experts like Ling Tiehan and Mo Xiuyao were present, they might not not be able to see through it. However, Murong Xiong was different. He was already the world's number one expert fifty years ago. The things he had seen were naturally much more than Mo Xiuyao and Ling Tiehan. Murong Xiong's face changed. He stared at Ren Qining and said, "Fleeting Finger! Who are you to the Lin family? "
Ren Qining slightly bowed and said with a smile, "Junior's surname is Lin and given name is Yuan. My grandfather's surname is Lin and given name is Fuqin. Senior must have heard of it. "
"You are Lin Yuan?! This is impossible … Lin Yuan is not … "The Murong family's business was spread all over the world. Naturally, their sources of information were also spread all over the world. Murong Xiong had already noticed Lin Yuan. It could even be said that he had noticed him earlier than Mo Xiuyao. However, the reason why he noticed Lin Yuan was different from Mo Xiuyao and the others.
Mo Xiuyao and the rest of the world noticed Lin Yuan's identity as an orphan of the previous dynasty. Murong Xiong noticed him because he had a grandfather called Lin Fuqin. Lin Fuqin was a person who was rarely known in Jianghu. However, Murong Xiong remembered that he was a top expert like himself. It was just that Lin Fuqin had never really made a name for himself in Jianghu. Sometimes, Murong Xiong even doubted that if Lin Fuqin had fought for the title of top expert, he would not have been able to obtain the title of the world's number one expert.
Ren Qining's eyebrows flashed with a trace of disdain, "Tan Jizhi? Just a plaything that can't be shown in public. What is he? "
