When Xie Siyun proposed to purchase a batch of bows, shields, and heavy swords from Shanhai City and the other two territories, Ouyang Shuo realized that there was a need to form a military coordination mechanism within the Alliance.
With Xie Siyun's participation, Bright Moon Illuminates the River, Black Mamba, and Song Wen had also joined the ranks. It wasn't hard to imagine that Sword Qi Thunderclap, who wasn't in the pavilion, would also have such a demand.
As the leader of the Alliance, Ouyang Shuo had to be impartial.
The general principle was that equipment exchanges took precedence over gold purchases, and small orders took precedence over large orders. If they encountered the same large orders, they would have to split them into small orders and deliver them monthly.
Ouyang Shuo revealed his thoughts in detail.
"I agree!"
Feng Qiuhuang was the first to express her opinion. Fallen Phoenix City's heavy swords and Iron Floating Armor were extremely popular in both the guild and the territory. They were the second largest military industry in the Alliance.
It could be foreseen that with these two weapons, Fallen Phoenix City's financial situation would gradually improve, and they would be able to get rid of their current predicament.
"I agree as well!"
Bai Hua also expressed his opinion. Lingxi City's siege weapons and shields were needed by both the guild and the territory, but the demand was limited. There was basically no problem of coordination.
Taking siege weapons as an example, apart from large-scale battles, they were basically useless.
On the contrary, Lingxi City was a large importer of military equipment. Establishing a coordination mechanism was more beneficial than detrimental to Lingxi City.
Of course, the future was constantly changing. No one knew what kind of weapons and equipment manuals they would obtain in the future. It was precisely because of this that they needed to establish a coordination mechanism as soon as possible.
Seeing that both of them had expressed their support, Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we still need to nominate a liaison person to be in charge of the specific communication matters. Do you have a suitable candidate? "
Feng Qiuhuang shook her head, "I can't. I only have Green Phoenix as my assistant."
Seeing Ouyang Shuo and Feng Qiuhuang turn their gazes towards him, Bai Hua could only bitterly smile. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then let Violet be the liaison. She's mainly in charge of external relations in the territory."
"Alright, Violet is not bad!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement.
"Who's calling this lady?"
Right at that moment, Violet walked over with a glass of wine in her hand. Her figure swayed as she walked over flirtatiously.
Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, was calm. He was already immune to beauties like Song Jia and Mu Lanyue. As a noble young master, Song Wen was used to seeing beautiful women.
Black Mamba Snake was a mercenary. Wine and beauties were just his concoctions after carrying out missions. The middle-aged uncle, Bright Moon Illuminates the River, placed all his attention on Red Eagle.
She noticed that none of the four men present were surprised by her arrival. Violet rolled her eyes in a very unladylike manner. She almost suffered internal injuries from holding back her anger.
Bai Hua glanced at Violet in amusement. It was rare to see her suffer such a setback.
"Sit here. I was just looking for you!"
Bai Hua told Violet about the establishment of the military-industrial coordination mechanism.
Violet rolled her eyes and glanced at Ouyang Shuo after listening to him. Then, she said in a charming voice, "You're the one who came up with this idea, aren't you, Highlord Wuyi? You can't not show your sincerity by dragging me out to be a coolie! "
Ouyang Shuo wasn't fooled and said indifferently, "It was Bai Hua who recommended you. If you want benefits, go look for her!"
"You!" Violet was almost angered to death. She didn't even care about maintaining her composure. She said loudly, "I don't care. I won't do it if there's no reward!"
She was actually acting shamelessly!
Even a deity couldn't stop a beauty from acting shamelessly. Ouyang Shuo could only ask Bai Hua for help.
However, Bai Hua turned a blind eye to her. She picked up her teacup and took a sip. Her actions were elegant.
That despicable Wuyi had used her as a shield just now. Now, she wanted to help? No way!
As for the others, Feng Qiuhuang couldn't wait to watch the show.
Song Wen and the other men sat upright, afraid that they would get into trouble.
Ouyang Shuo knew that he couldn't escape this calamity.
Since he wanted to reward her, he couldn't take out an ordinary gift.
After thinking for a while, Ouyang Shuo took out a small wooden box from his storage pouch and handed it to Violet.
"What is this? Don't send me away with some trash. "
Violet decided to throw caution to the wind. Her words became more and more shrewd. However, Bai Hua knew that this was the real Violet. As for the "Purple Demoness" in the eyes of her fans, it was just wishful thinking.
"Won't you know once you open it?"
Violet opened the wooden box, and a gentle white light emitted from it. Looking closely, she saw that there was an exquisite piece of yellow silk in the wooden box. There was a string of 24 pearls on the silk. Each pearl was the size of a thumb. They were round and smooth. What was even rarer was that each pearl was the same size.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Feng Qiuhuang exclaimed in admiration. A trace of infatuation flashed in her eyes.
Women naturally had no resistance to jewelry.
If this string of pearls were to be placed in the real world, it would be a priceless treasure.
"Is, is this really for me?" Violet stuttered. She only wanted to tease Ouyang Shuo. She didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise.
"Of course it's for you. Are you satisfied?"
The pearls were harvested from Shila Lake. This was the best string of pearls harvested from the Shila Lake's artificial pearl farm in the past few months. When Cui Shousi returned to Shanhai City, he presented it to Ouyang Shuo.
Originally, Ouyang Shuo wanted to give it to Song Jia.
But then he thought about it. As the military liaison, Violet's service was considered free. As the leader of the alliance, he needed to reward her, so he decided to give the pearls to Violet.
In any case, as long as the pearl farm was still around, he wouldn't have to worry about not having top-grade pearls for Song Jia.
"This, this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Violet was a little embarrassed. She returned the wooden box to Ouyang Shuo reluctantly.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said with a smile, "Take it! You have to do your job well after receiving the reward. "
He deliberately said this to ease Violet's awkwardness.
Violet was also a forthright girl. She didn't refuse and accepted the gift happily.
Violet was full of energy after receiving the gift. She immediately left the pavilion and went to look for Thunder Sword and Dragon Seeking Acupoint to discuss the requirements for weapons and equipment.
After Violet left, Feng Qiuhuang came to Ouyang Shuo's side and whispered, "Wuyi, do you have more of these pearls? Sell me one of them! "
Even Bai Hua glanced at Ouyang Shuo, although he didn't ask any questions.
Ouyang Shuo felt a headache. He didn't expect that a string of pearls would cause such trouble.
"I won't hide it from you guys. That string of pearls was the result of three months of artificial pearl farming. If you guys aren't afraid of waiting, it shouldn't be a problem within a year. "
"That's so long!" Feng Qiuhuang was a little disappointed.
"Those are top-grade pearls. Do you think they're cabbages?"
"Alright, I'll wait. You have to save them for me!"
"…"
Ouyang Shuo didn't expect Feng Qiuhuang to be so stubborn about pearls.
…
After a small interlude, the pavilion became lively again.
While chatting, Black Mamba suddenly said, "Do you guys remember the mysterious player who bought the Hidden Class Change Scroll for Qi Cultivator at a fixed price in the system auction?"
"How could I not remember!"
"I have a good impression of him!"
"Brother Black, do you have any inside information?"
"That's right. According to the information I've gathered, this mysterious player's name is Star Zhe Chen. He's the successor of a hidden family. Two days ago, Star Zhe Chen secretly appeared in the capital as a Qi Cultivator and established a guild called [Star Alliance]. "Black Mamba said.
"Hidden family? Is there really such a family?" Bright Moon Illuminates the River didn't believe it.
"There is."
Feng Qiuhuang confirmed.
"What's the background of these families? Why are they hiding?"
Feng Qiuhuang was born in a large family. She knew quite a lot about the upper echelons. Even a young master like Song Wen might not be qualified to know such information.
She smiled and said, "Actually, the outside world has always had a misunderstanding about hidden families. Hidden families don't necessarily mean that they're powerful families."
Everyone was silent.
Indeed, hidden families were said to be miraculous by the outside world because of their mysteriousness.
"Some of the existing hidden families are descendants of ancient sages or famous generals. Some are descendants of the previous dynasty. There are also families that moved overseas to avoid war and later moved back to their homeland. Of course, there are some famous families from ancient times that have left their legacies. "
Feng Qiuhuang slowly unveiled the mysterious veil of hidden families.
"The secret aristocratic families have two common characteristics. Firstly, his family had a long history of learning. Some of them even retain the style of ancient families. Secondly, they keep a low profile. If they want to maintain the family's legacy for hundreds of years, they can't get too involved in the current dynasty. Otherwise, they might get into trouble and lead to the extinction of the family. "
"Among them, some of them have a deep foundation because they have existed for a long time. They have a solid family business and a wide network. Coupled with the mutual marriage between the two clans, the relationship network was even more tangled and complicated. However, there are also some hidden families that have lost their talents due to war or other changes. They can only struggle to survive and fade into the crowd. Some of the hidden clans only had a single heir left in the end, and they only had one heir for three generations. The only thing that can prove the glory of their ancestors is a family tree and half a family letter. "
Everyone understood.
"That's even stranger." Bright Moon Illuminates the River was still confused. "Since Zhe Chen is a descendant of a hidden family, according to Feng Wu's introduction, he shouldn't be like this. Wasn't he so mysterious at the auction? Why did he change his attitude all of a sudden? "
"I don't know."
The Black Mamba had unintentionally obtained this piece of information when he was investigating Bloodshed. (To be continued.)
