Chapter 183
I heard from Bai Lu Zong Heng's people that they were robbing materials, some materials for repairing ships in Beizhou. This material did not belong to Bai Lu Zong Heng, the Yin family was not at the level of robbery, it was from outside, and the owner had not yet decided who to sell it to.
It's not a matter of money. He doesn't dare to offend either party, so he is in a dilemma. It seems that Pei Xiang does not get along well with Yin Jiuxiao. Because of this matter, he didn't even finish a few words and immediately started fighting. He was just caught by the people from Su Ye Xianshan.
Bai Lu Zongheng's men were not strong in martial arts, so naturally they could not defeat Yin Yaozhi and Yin Jiuxiao together. It was also at this time that Chu Wei met Yin Jiuxiao for the first time and saw clearly what kind of person he was.
No matter how jealous he was, Chu Wei had to admit that Yin Jiuxiao was truly powerful and domineering. Not to mention fighting him head-on, in the face of such a huge spiritual energy, he didn't even dare to get close to him. That was simply not a momentum he could contend with.
Yin Jiuxiao should have seen him as well. From a distance, Chu Wei seemed to see the contempt in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at himself while floating in the air. He turned his head away after just one glance. Then, during the fight, he separated a stream of spiritual power and sent it towards his face.
The sword energy was so fierce that Chu Wei almost couldn't dodge it. It was his uncle, Elder Chu, who quickly stepped forward to block the attack for him. When he came to his senses, he was covered in cold sweat.
This person is indeed very arrogant and has almost no scruples.
But what if he can fight? Chu Wei was holding back his anger and thought, after causing such a big incident in Dongzhou, Pei Xiang still doesn't like him?
In comparison, Bai Lu Zongheng's attitude towards their group seemed very friendly. Chu Wei brought several types of products from the mine to show Pei Xiang. These were real good things, and these were just the tip of the iceberg in the mine. No wonder Chu Cang felt pain.
After some flattery, he saw that Pei Xiang was indeed satisfied.
However, this person has always been cunning. It is not realistic to ask him to stand on the side of Suye Fairy Mountain all at once. There are still many details to be finalized and it cannot be decided at the moment, but having this trend is already good.
So during this period of time, Chu Wei and Pei Xiang had a very pleasant conversation, but Yin Jiuxiao never came to visit. Or rather, he had sent a few letters, but was rejected by Pei Xiang and there was no follow-up. Yin Jiuxiao simply stopped sending letters and focused on his own things. It seemed that he had been collecting materials for ship repair in Beizhou.
The two sides talked in depth, and Pei Xiang discussed the matter with Chu Wei.
"You people of Suye Xianshan must help me, and this is also to help yourselves," Pei Xiang said, "Just think about it, once their ships are repaired, our medicine shop will have no chance of survival. And as more and more ships come, the barrier of Beizhou will become less and less effective. Most of the people there are desperate criminals and very fierce. Yin Jiuxiao is a living example. Last time, he robbed all the materials alive. If this continues, then the Yin family will really be the world in the future."
Chu Wei's heart sank, and he quickly responded, "Just tell us how you want us to help you."
"We must seize their materials now. Beizhou's current weakness is that many precious materials are missing. Last time, I was negligent and let the Yin family know in advance. But ship repair materials are only a part of it. Beizhou's purchases from outside are also very large, from all aspects," Pei Xiang said, "Since we want to form an alliance, we should make a breakthrough from the weakest point. We can't let the Yin family expand like this, don't you think?"
Chu Wei and Elder Chu beside him looked at each other.
What Pei Xiang said made sense. Since they couldn't confront the Yin family head-on, they had to make things difficult for them in other ways.
Even though they have not yet formed a true alliance with Bailu Zongheng, their interests are the same. It is only natural to start with these small things at this time, and Chu Wei is even more eager to try.
These two men acted very quickly, and they were even impatient to make the Yin family suffer a setback. Once the order was given, even Lin Qinghen in the Yin family quickly felt the fluctuations.
The gap in materials in the North State is indeed huge, because there are too many things that need to be repaired. In addition, the connection between cities is getting closer and closer, so roads need to be built. Ordinary materials are easy to find, but some materials with limited stock and limited production channels can only be purchased from outside.
Everything was going smoothly before, after all, Lin Qinghen and the Yin family were rich now, but suddenly many avenues were cut off.
In just these few days, Lin Qinghen calculated that about one-third of the merchants had been affected. They were unwilling to deliver the goods and were hesitant when asked. Some people said that it was difficult for them as well, mainly because Yin Jiuxiao had pissed off Pei Xiang, and they were just small merchants and could not make the decision.
Lin Qinghen:? No way?
From his perspective, he always thought that Yin Jiuxiao should be doing well outside. He had sent him a batch of materials before, which was considered to be a solution to the urgent need. Now the fleet has been repaired. Because of the boundary wall, the communication tools are useless, and he can only let the passing ships send him letters every few days. Looking at the content of the letter, there is nothing wrong.
Yin Jiuxiao is not a reckless person and would not make Pei Xiang so angry in such a short period of time. He still knows his own people well.
Lin Qinghen thought about it and decided not to make a big deal out of this matter, meaning that he would take as much as he could. If he couldn't give, there was no need to embarrass others and he could just wait.
Especially after he knew that Yin Jiuxiao had taken a few people away on purpose, Lin Qinghen roughly guessed something.
"Don't worry, let it go for a few days. There's no need to rush right now," Lin Qinghen said, "This won't last long."
He can just wait here.
Not long after he said this, something happened in Dongzhou.
It's not a bad thing, it's a very good thing.
That was the familiar glow of light in the sky, which was the sign of the beginning of the ruins. A lot of people saw it and it could not be concealed. Many people outside started to move after hearing the news.
Chu Wei didn't expect to encounter such a thing during his trip!
He could see clearly that the entrance to the ruins was just outside the city and the location was a bit tricky. It was not easy to get through. That side was full of egrets. Although it could not stop everyone, as long as Pei Xiang set up some obstacles, a large number of people would not be able to get through.
This time, we had the upper hand in the ruins, and most of the resources could be eaten by them. This was a pleasant surprise, and Suye Xianshan was finally lucky!
With the right time, right place and right people, Yin Jiuxiao will eventually lose to himself here!
Everything was still going smoothly. He discussed with Pei Xiang and did whatever the other party said. Occasionally, they could adjust quickly to different opinions. Chu Wei even felt that Pei Xiang was not as cunning as people said, but he really didn't see any flaws. Su Ye Xianshan was still benefiting from it until now, and even his uncle and Chu Cang didn't say anything wrong.
On the day the ruins were opened, Chu Wei and his uncle formed a team and went in first. Pei Xiang always cooperated with him, but this time he did not go down with him.
"My spirit essence is not of the combat type, so it will be useless if I go down," he said, "Young Master Chu, go ahead and fight with confidence. Leave the outside to me."
Chu Wei thought so too. Since both parties had come to this point in the talks, nothing would go wrong. Besides, there were so many people in Su Ye Xian Mountain, not just the two of them. There were many more outside. Even Chu Cang was eager to come over himself.
But when he disappeared in the glow, he always felt that the look in Pei Xiang's eyes was a little strange.
Pei Xiang always smiled like this, but his smile didn't reach his eyes, and it always looked a little fake. When the people from Suye Xianshan disappeared in front of him, Pei Xiang's fake smile disappeared.
He took a few steps back, then quickly left the place, shook off the people, turned left and right, turned around and went to a small courtyard outside the city to find someone.
Yin Jiuxiao.
"How is it?" Yin Jiuxiao seemed to know that he would come, and sat in the center of the yard and looked at him, "Is everything I said right?"
Indeed, from the location to the time of the relic's appearance, it was exactly right, so Pei Xiang's preparations were very thorough. At first, he thought, how could anyone have predicted this? But the facts were before him.
Pei Xiang took a breath and said nothing for a moment. He sat down opposite him and was silent for a while before speaking.
"The Chu family has gone in," Pei Xiang said, "I should start cleaning up the mess."
Of course, the matter of the ruins was not the reason why Pei Xiang and the Yin family were acting out this drama together.
Of course, all these things were fake. There was no need for Pei Xiang and Yin Jiuxiao to make such a fuss. They were all smart people and would never act on impulse. They were just putting on a show for Su Ye Xian Shan.
This was the second thing Yin Jiuxiao told him that day. Since he had come to Dongzhou, he would solve all these problems at once and ask Pei Xiang to see if it was that easy to have the best of both worlds.
Chu Cang's ambition is very big. In addition to wanting to win over the aristocratic families, he also has no intention of letting go of the other two mountains.
However, most of the people in power in Fuxin Miaofa are alchemists and weapon refiners, who are too professional. Even if he is given ten years, he will not be able to truly infiltrate. But Bailu Zongheng does not have this obstacle.
According to the memories of his previous life, Yin Jiuxiao knew that Suye Xianshan had already planted people in Bailu Zongheng for a long time, and some of them had already climbed to confidential positions.
In his previous life, when the status of Su Ye Xianshan was raised to a certain level, he began to mobilize this power, causing Pei Xiang to bleed heavily at that time and almost be sidelined. Bai Lu Zongheng was naturally also greatly affected.
It’s not too late to discover all this at this point in time.
For a person of Pei Xiang's character, he would never allow such a thing to exist. But after Yin Jiuxiao said this, he couldn't believe it at the first time, so he thought about it and accepted the proposal. Anyway, he had nothing to lose, just a try, if nothing came out, it would be a good thing.
But the result of the test really scared him.
Because of the matter of blocking the Yin family's materials, a large amount of Chamber of Commerce resources and connections need to be mobilized. Su Ye Xianshan is anxious and can't wait to see the results, so the action suddenly becomes larger.
Pei Xiang discovered at this time that many people in the Chamber of Commerce received the news too quickly. Those people obviously relaxed their vigilance and did not hide their dealings and cooperation with Su Ye Xian Shan. They even took the opportunity to intentionally or unintentionally speak well of Su Ye Xian Shan in front of him. But for Pei Xiang, who was keeping an eye on them, this was very terrifying.
In particular, he made close observations of the several important people mentioned by Yin Jiuxiao. There were many among them who he trusted very much. Some of them had been in Bailu Zongheng for almost twenty years. Chu Cang's clues were really long. Pei Xiang also deliberately held opposite opinions from Suyuan Yexianshan on some details to see which side they were biased towards.
After all the attempts, the truth became more and more obvious. Pei Xiang had a series of evidence and was ready to clean up the mess.
Now there is one last thing.
Yin Jiuxiao said that he could come up with something more powerful than that vein of minerals.
