As soon as Gui Yan said these words, the people below lowered their necks and said "dare not" in unison.
After a while, Fan Linrong, the man at the front, said softly: "I dare to teach you, Demon Lord, that our contact with Duan Xiang is just for simplicity. This person has said that he has cooperated with Demon Lord a lot. We have a deep friendship, and this matter is pleasing to the devil, so it doesn’t take much effort. We are hesitant to believe it, but due to the current tight situation, we also hope to invest less. I hope the devil will forgive me for my narrow vision."
Gui Yan let out an ooh, but did not look too angry, nor did he say any words of forgiveness. He only said: "Duan Xiang has always behaved like this, and it is not surprising. But you guys are also messing with him. If we work together and act according to those regulations, hehe, it’s no wonder that we were beaten to pieces by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce..."
Actually, it's more than that?
Although merchants in southern China do not necessarily have to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, men can steal and prostitute women secretly, but they must cover up at all costs. If the news of what happened today were spread, the reputation of these restaurants, shops, and halls would all fall to the bottom, and they would never be able to get back up.
Not to mention anything else, just Jianxuan's side is enough to wipe them out a hundred and eighty times!
He was not polite, but he hit the nail on the head, and all the merchants in the audience looked at him with sarcasm.
Yu Ci allowed Guiyan to tease these characters, while she was thinking about it. During these years in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Nahua had strategized and made the Maritime Chamber of Commerce unify the South China Sea, capture most of the East China Sea, and almost occupy more than 70% of the southern coast. He is a well-deserved overlord in the trading of magic weapons, sea minerals, and medicinal resources.
Businesses such as Longxinzhai, Ancient Medicine Shop, and Duanxiangtang are all based in the East China Sea and Nanhai, but they do not have the foundations of Suixin Pavilion and Sanxitang. Naturally, they were the first batch of targets to be suppressed and annexed. It would be reasonable to say that they were afraid that the Maritime Chamber of Commerce would join forces to resist and cause obstacles. However, in the past two years, Mrs. Hua has gradually faded away, but they want to join forces to destroy Mrs. Hua's reputation. This... is really unbelievable. !
After receiving his instructions, Guiyan said: "Mrs. Hua... I heard that she is a strange woman with a very beautiful color. The Taoist Master is quite interested, but the Maritime Chamber of Commerce has become a trend. Don’t say I don’t want to provoke you, but if I do, what good will it do to you?”
After a moment, his voice became colder: "Let me explain it to you in detail, without any concealment."
Fan Lingrong was about to speak in the front, but he heard a sudden sound from the table. The antique bronze wine baron collided with the table and shook a few times. Most of the wine inside spilled out, causing this scene. Guiyan let out a laugh:
"Where's the wine?"
This is obviously looking for trouble, and there is also a beautiful maid holding a pot next to him. But if he really does this, there is a chance that he will end up as someone who doesn't know how to appreciate others.
These business proprietors were all alert people with raised eyebrows and wide eyes. They glanced at each other secretly from below. Finally, their eyes met on the back of the person in the front, and soon they all lowered their eyes again.
In the front, Fan Linrong's face was downcast, and no one could see clearly what her expression was. But then, without saying a word, she stood up slowly, moved lightly, and walked to the Guiyan table. The bewildered maid beside her was also confused, so she handed over the wine bottle in her hand.
Fan Lingrongsu held the pot in his hand, knelt down beside Guiyan's banquet, and poured the wine into the cup.
Guiyan only looked at her and said nothing. The female boss of Long Xin Zhai is not the kind of stunning beauty that makes people's eyes dazzle. However, her face is exquisite, and there are hardly any flaws in her body and every move. This kind of beauty makes people feel beautiful but don't know where the beauty lies. If she is placed with many beauties, she may be lost in everyone. Only by careful observation and taste can you see the beauty.
Now, Guiyan discovered that this woman's body was as pure as jade, with rays of light visible. The so-called "ice muscles and jade bones" were nothing more than this. But what's more interesting is that at this time, she is not as humble as she was at the beginning. Her eyes are clear and she doesn't squint. She just focuses on the drinking utensils and treats ghosts as if they are nothing.
What a fun person!
The more she behaves like this, the more she can arouse Gui Yan's interest. In the past, he might have captured her immediately, regardless of the dozens of pairs of eyes or swords under her eyes. Let's get over it first. But now, he was restricted after all, so he just patted the female cultivator's smooth hand, took the wine glass, drank it down, and then laughed:
"This is so interesting... huh? Why are you all mute?"
After being scolded by him, all the business owners secretly let out a sigh of relief. Ever since Guiyan arrived on the ship, although the demonic power was overwhelming and arrogant, it was still a little different from the legendary appearance. Until now, It's easy to handle now that he's got the right number.
As for Fan Linrong who is holding the pot and pouring wine, what about Long Xinzhai, and what about the person behind him, it is none of their business at this moment?
Fan Lingrong's expression remained unchanged and he continued to pour wine for Gui Yan.
Someone kowtowed and spoke again, but it was Hu Sihai from Duan Xiangtang. His voice was thick, but now it was pale and trembling. In terms of calmness, he was far inferior to Fan Linrong, but the combination of the two made him more sincere. :
"The Demon Lord Mingjian, although the Maritime Chamber of Commerce is tyrannical at sea, we small merchants join forces and operate miserably, and can barely sustain it. But recently, they have intensified their efforts and want to set up seagulls in the East China Sea. The ruins have completely destroyed our foundation. Mrs. Hua is the presiding officer. If we continue to go down this line, our dozens of businesses and the livelihood of millions of people will be filled up in the sea. We can’t think about it before we can go out. This is the next best thing to do, the Demon Lord Wanwang..."
Before he could finish speaking politely, Guiyan reached out and pressed Fan Lingrong's hand, making her stay temporarily. This time it seemed that it was a little longer. Although the woman was still calm, her cheeks were slightly flushed with blood.
Guiyan didn't care about this, and just asked curiously: "Seagull Market?"
He was asking about Haiouxu. Deep in his mind, Yu Ci was also thinking about another thing: "The ghost is tired of humiliating Fan Lingrong, but the others are relieved. It's okay not to join forces like this." If there is chaos, then there will be chaos. If there is chaos, things will not be kept secret, and if things are not kept secret, there will be harm. This has been true since ancient times...Hey, these people also want to deal with Mrs. Hua and fight against the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. Isn't it ridiculous?"
However, the matter needs to be considered further: he knows that this is unlikely to happen, how could these people who have been in the business world for many years not know? If you risk your family's life and do a stupid thing that has no chance of success, if you are not stupid, then there must be some other reason.
The memory obtained from Duan Xiang also proves this - there is a black hand behind these businesses.
And it is a force that can have a great conflict of interest with the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and has certain strength. Duan Xiang thought of several possibilities, all of which were famous big merchants in the South: Suixin Pavilion, Sanxitang, Datongxing... and so on.
Yu Ci couldn't make a judgment for the moment. He only listened to the merchants. Except for Fan Linrong who didn't say a word, Hu Sihai took the lead and others supplemented the details of the Haiou Market.
