"A distinguished guest has arrived. Please come in quickly."
Yi Hongyi glanced at the jade token. Although he had some doubts, he changed his mind when he saw that all the sects were staring at him, and immediately treated them warmly.
"I didn't expect this owner to be so easy to talk to."
Jiang Zhong was wearing a veil, and seeing that no one could see his appearance clearly, he looked around unscrupulously.
Jiang Li replied softly, "After all, there are only three of us. He figured we wouldn't cause much trouble, so he might as well sell it out. If it's true, it could create a bond with Medicine King Valley. Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. At least it will make other sects think that the No. 1 Manor in the World is so impressive that even Medicine King Valley can come here to take over."
"Doctor He, this place is relatively quiet and not far from the main courtyard. The sect conference will officially begin at noon tomorrow. You should rest well tonight. Our disciples will bring you dinner later."
The disciple who led the way was ordered to take the people to the resting place, then bowed and left.
"Linshan Pavilion." Jiang Li looked up at the plaque above the door. "This location is quite good."
That night.
Jiang Li, dressed in black, wandered around the First Village like a nimble rabbit.
As for Mo Qi and Jiang Zhong, they looked at each other with worry on their faces.
"No, Mo Qi, you stay here and I'll go find my sister."
As soon as Jiang Li left, Jiang Zhong couldn't sit still anymore.
Mo Qi said worriedly, "The princess said that people from other sects might come over later. If two of the three are missing, it might arouse suspicion."
“How could it be…”
"Knock-knock—"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"I am Ji Guanyu, the head of the Qingyun Sect, and I am here to visit the miracle doctor."
Jiang Zhong rolled his eyes and had no choice but to pick up the things Jiang Li had left behind before leaving. He opened the door and said, "My young lady is exhausted from traveling all day, so she's lying down to rest. This is the Yang Yuan Pill, which is very good for those who practice martial arts. Master Ji, please accept it. If you have any other matters, we can discuss them at the sect meeting tomorrow."
After receiving the porcelain bottle, the visitor's face was startled. He bowed and thanked Jiang Zhong as if he had found a treasure. "It is Ji who bothered me. I will not disturb the genius doctor's rest. I will thank you in person tomorrow."
After finally sending the people away, Jiang Zhong could see from a high place that there were still people coming towards Linshan Pavilion. He sighed and just hoped that his sister would come back soon and that nothing unexpected would happen to her.
The other side.
Changshui City, Fenghe Restaurant.
"Boss Chen is so young and so handsome, yet he has already earned tens of millions of dollars. I really admire him!"
After three rounds of drinks, Gu Qingchen looked at Xiang Cailiang, the Lord of Changshui City, and smiled faintly, "Lord Xiang, your compliment is simply due to the protection of my ancestors. Of course, how the business will go in the future depends on your wishes."
Since he came to test him, Gu Qingchen claimed to be a wealthy businessman in the north. If Xiang Cailiang was really like those corrupt officials, then he wouldn't mind making another major change in Changshui City.
Looking at the stack of large banknotes placed on the table by the man in front of him, Xiang Cailiang frowned slightly, "I wonder what kind of business Boss Chen is going to do?"
"Naturally, they used beauties as bait to create a den of debauchery in Changshui."
"Boss Chen, you mean a brothel?"
Gu Qingchen chuckled and shook his head. "If you only deal in the flesh trade, how can you call it a den of incest? I'm going to set up a casino there, gather intelligence, and sell news... City Lord Xiang, I don't need to explain the value of this place, you can definitely imagine it. We'll split the profits 50-50. Trust me, within three months, I'll make you a killing!"
"Bang!"
As soon as Gu Qingchen finished speaking, Xiang Cailiang slapped the table.
"You are so brave!"
Xiang Cailiang's mustache trembled with anger. "You look like a decent person, but I really thought you came here for the development of Changshui City! I'm telling you, don't even think about doing something this destructive to people's minds here! Just pretend that we have never met today. Farewell!"
"By the way, let me remind you to leave Changshui City as soon as possible and don't let me see you again, otherwise I will definitely arrest you!"
Before leaving, Xiang Cailiang turned around to warn again, but saw the man smiling.
A pair of deep black eyes looked at him, and the scrutiny in them made Xiang Cailiang a little puzzled.
"Once you step out of this room, you'll completely lose the chance to cooperate with Chen. You're earning a fortune every day, so isn't that tempting, Lord Xiang?"
"I'm so moved"
Xiang Cailiang couldn't stand this man anymore, so he let out a sigh and prepared to open the door and leave.
“Pah pah pah——”
The sound of a man clapping his hands was heard behind him. Xiang Cailiang turned around with a gloomy face, but saw the gold-inlaid jade plate in the man's hand, with the words "Jingling" engraved on it.
Looking at the man again and calculating his age, there was no way Xiang Cailiang couldn't guess who the person in front of him was.
With a "thump", Xiang Cailiang knelt down very smoothly.
Before Gu Qingchen could speak, Xiang Cailiang burst into tears and said, "It's my old eyes that are blurry. I didn't recognize the prince. I deserve to die..."
In fact, Xiang Cailiang was sent to Changshui City twenty years ago. He had not made any significant achievements during his stay and naturally had no chance to go to Beijing. In other words, he had never seen Prince Jingling, so how could he recognize him!
Thinking of how harshly he had cursed just now, Xiang Cailiang's face suddenly turned red.
"Alright, get up. This prince doesn't blame you. On the contrary, you're very good. When we return to the capital, this prince will report this to the emperor and ask for some reward on your behalf."
He stood up tremblingly, wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeve. Xiang Cailiang finally realized what was happening. If he had said something wrong just now, he would probably be dead by now.
"Lord Xiang, please drink some hot tea to calm your nerves. I have something important to tell you..."
