The imperial capital, Yan City, was flourishing and prosperous.
Fragrant chariots and horses, jade chariots crisscrossing, golden whip arrowheads, dragon jaws, phoenix soil tassels. There were even golden threads winding around the trees, celestial birds singing about the flowers, jade trees and silver platforms, and window lattice acacia. It was a flourishing scene of rich and powerful nobles competing in luxury and pursuing pleasure.
As Xiao Chen strolled through the imperial capital Yan City in the early morning, he fully appreciated the prosperity of the imperial capital Yan City.
"Many thanks to you for Wu Meng's matter."
After leaving the main building, Su Ye checked on Wu Meng's injuries again. Then, she got the Misty Rain Twin Fiends to contact a famous doctor in the imperial capital to treat Wu Meng.
"It's just a small matter. Even if there isn't a famous doctor, Master Ku Yun's disciple is capable. Your friend's injuries also healed very quickly. However … if I'm not mistaken, he must have been following me in secret. That's why he ended up like this. "
Su Ye casually glanced at the scene on the street as she spoke in a carefree manner.
"I'll ask him when he wakes up."
Of course, Xiao Chen would not take the initiative to admit this. He said with a serious face.
Act!
Su Ye thought disdainfully. Just as she was about to speak, a figure hurried over to them.
The person who came was not very old and looked very young. He wore a simple green robe with a green luan embroidered on his collar.
"This is a messenger from the Azure Phoenix Pavilion."
Su Ye, who knew the various major powers of the imperial capital like the back of her hand, explained.
"Miss, you have good eyes. This must be Young Master Xiao. Here is a letter for you. Please keep it well."
After handing the letter to Xiao Chen, the messenger left quietly, his figure quickly drowning in the tide of people.
Opening the envelope, Xiao Chen read the contents.
There were not many words in the letter, just a simple sentence. I heard that Benefactor Xiao has come to Yan City, and I am very happy. Let's meet at the Misty Rain Pavilion in three days.
The Hidden Spirit Temple's little monk, Yuan Zhen.
Xiao Chen put away the letter and thought to himself, How fast! This fellow has just arrived in Yan City, and he already received the news.
He must have come for the key to the Divine Palace.
"It looks like I'll have to trouble you to prepare a private room for me in the Misty Rain Pavilion three days later."
"It's simple. I'll send someone to arrange it after I return."
This small interlude did not interrupt Xiao Chen's mood. The capital's beautiful scenery was worth visiting.
However, when he invited Su Ye out, he did not really want her to accompany him shopping. Instead, he wanted to test her attitude.
However, there was no rush. He believed that Su Su Ye was more anxious than he was.
As expected, after a while, Su Ye took the initiative to ask, "What do you plan to do next? After chasing away the seven merchant associations, the Heavenly Alliance's profits in the Yanwu Dynasty decreased by at least eighty percent. Not only do you have to face pressure from the Heavenly Alliance, but you also have to face the threat of the Noble Clans in the capital. "
Xiao Chen said calmly, "We will take the initiative to attack. First, we will cut off the Heavenly Alliance's resources from these seven great merchant associations. I, and, and, I say., I say, I, I, I Yun, one of Sect, one with.
A bright light flashed in Su Ye's eyes. In the end, she had underestimated this Xiao Chen. It looked like he came prepared.
.................
He was very clear about what he had done and did not regret it at all.
Without Lord Mu Zifeng's approval, it will be difficult for me. " Without Lord Mu Zifeng's approval, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me. "
The Misty Rain Pavilion managed the resources provided by the Heavenly Alliance's headquarters. Then, they distributed them to the ten merchant associations.
Based on the current situation, the Misty Rain Pavilion's authority was in Su Ye's hands.
If she was not willing, it would be impossible for her to cut off the ten merchant associations' resources.
"It's fine. I'll bear all the responsibility. If you find it difficult, you can leave it to me."
Xiao Chen's meaning was clear. If Su Ye is not willing, then let's go. I'll do it myself.
Su Ye's expression changed. Clearly, she made up her mind. After a while, she said, "Alright, I agree. However, I always keep ten percent of the Heavenly Alliance's resources for myself. This rule cannot be changed in the future. "
Xiao Chen thought to himself, I can tell that this pretty Su Ye is so black-hearted.
She keeps ten percent of the resources for herself. Who knows how much profit she has made over the years?
Now that I think about it, she cannot take it all by herself. I do not know if the Sword God Noble Clans are behind her.
However, it is good that things are clear. Now that I know the other party's bottom line, many things will be easier to negotiate.
"Alright, it is settled, then. Which one do you think is better: the Nine Cauldron Pavilion, the Linlang Pavilion, or the Ancient Cloud Merchant Association? "
There was no need to fall out with Su Ye for now. Ten percent of the resources was still within Xiao Chen's acceptable range.
"The Linlang Pavilion and the Ancient Cloud Merchant Association are at the bottom of the ten merchant associations. They do not have deep ties to the Noble Clans, and their presence is negligible. That's why they dare to sign a new contract. If you want to support them, the Nine Cauldron Pavilion is the only choice. However, Fatso is not easy to deal with. He looks like he is acting crazy, but in reality, he is very ambitious and capable. "
Su Ye had a very high evaluation of Wei Dexin. She said seriously, "If you are not worried about him biting back at you, there should not be a problem."
"It looks like this is the only choice."
The Nine Cauldron Pavilion had a rather deep relationship with Xiao Chen.
Su Ye looked at Xiao Chen and suddenly smiled. "I discovered that I really cannot see through you. The Bountiful Treasure Pavilion is supported by the First Prince. The Golden Essence Merchant Association is supported by the Thirteenth Prince. These two princes are very strong and have the ability to seize the throne. To think that you are not flustered at all. Can you tell me why you are so confident? Are you really not afraid of death? "
When Su Ye saw that Xiao Chen was still thinking about how to support the Nine Cauldron Pavilion, she could no longer hold back.
Su Ye could no longer hold back. Including Monarch Yu, Xiao Chen had already offended three princes.
Su Ye simply could not understand how Xiao Chen dared to offend the Royal Clan in Yan City.
"I can tell you. However, you have to tell me, what is your relationship with the Sword God's Noble Clan?"
Xiao Chen asked softly with a smile, raising his eyebrows.
"Forget it."
At the mention of the Sword God's Noble Clan, Su Ye's expression immediately changed, even turning somewhat cold.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It looked like the other party's relationship with the Sword God's Noble Clan was not as simple as he thought.
The Sword God's Noble Clan was a noble, orthodox clan. To think that they allowed a woman to manage a brothel in public.
Actually, this was very strange, even more serious than when Fiendish Saber Xi Mu practiced the Saber Technique.
Su Ye's expression was the same as the previous night. When Xiao Chen mentioned the Sword God's Noble Clan, the other party's expression immediately changed.
It looked like this was the other party's taboo. There had to be something strange about this.
"That is … the Smiling Daughter Pavilion!"
Xiao Chen looked around and discovered an ancient pavilion that was even more majestic and grand than the Misty Rain Pavilion. So, he quickly changed the topic.
"Right, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion is the best brothel in the imperial capital Yan City. It has the best musicians and the most beautiful singers. Furthermore, it has a powerful sword dance that has been passed down for a long time and is known as the best in the world. When the Fairy Basket appears, even a Sovereign Emperor will make a move. The profits there are horrifying. "
At the mention of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, Su Ye revealed a complicated and somewhat respectful expression, successfully forgetting her earlier unhappiness.
Xiao Chen recalled the Pleasure Quarter Alliance that Mo Chen mentioned. Aside from the Misty Rain Pavilion, all the pleasure quarters in the imperial capital Yan City belonged to the Pleasure Quarter Alliance.
From a certain point of view, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion represented the Pleasure Quarter Alliance.
"How does the Misty Rain Pavilion compare to it?"
Su Ye frowned slightly and sighed softly, "The ten headliners of the imperial capital are all in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. The Misty Rain Pavilion has only one. The greatest difference is accumulations. The other party can continuously nurture headliners, but the Misty Rain Pavilion cannot. "
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of someone. He asked, "Have you heard of the headliner Ling Long?"
"Naturally. She has been one of the ten headliners for a long time already. Her supreme pipa skills are unparalleled in the world, unrivaled. She can be called an immortal musician. However, she already … "
"Bang!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to continue, someone suddenly got tossed out of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion and landed heavily on the street.
This immediately caused a commotion. There were always people who did not follow the rules in the pleasure quarters. Most of them were people who could not resist making a move on the courtesans.
Such a situation happened practically every day. Then, many people went to watch the commotion.
"Another lecher," Su Ye said disdainfully.
Xiao Chen looked around. A large group of people appeared in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. It seemed like they did not want to let go of the person who got tossed out.
"Hahaha! Foolish brat, you got tossed out again, right? Big Brother already told you not to go in. When the time comes, just snatch him away. However, you refused to listen. Hahaha!"
However, a beggar caught the person who got tossed out.
The beggar smiled, giving a good impression. Xiao Chen found the person who got caught somewhat familiar.
He wanted to follow and take a few more glances.
However, that beggar laughed loudly as he grabbed that person. Soon, he disappeared into the crowd.
This angered the Smiling Daughter Pavilion guards into cursing. They looked around for the person but could not find him.
When Xiao Chen saw the situation, he could only give up.
"Let's go. Let's go back."
When Xiao Chen and Su Ye turned to leave, a window opened on the top floor of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.
The flower-like girl looked in the direction of the beggar's departure. Her eyes were filled with worry, and the worry between her eyebrows did not dissipate. She was disappointed and frustrated.
