Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure

Two men were ambushed behind a low wall.He tiptoed slightly, and lightly swept behind the two of them.Seeing that both of them were dressed in gray robes, with unsheathed weapons in their hands, they fixed their eyes on He Qicheng and his party.

No one in Dongfang Bubai can tell at a glance that these two killers are paid for their lives.Even though he didn't know where He Qicheng offended someone, and even asked someone to hire a killer to take his life, how could Dongfang Bubai allow the person he wanted to kill to die in the hands of others?With a sneer in his heart, Dongfang Bubai restrained his breath, Da Lala stood behind these two people, just waiting for them to make a move.

Poor these two killers, if you say martial arts, you can barely be regarded as a second-rate master, but it's a pity that they ran into the world's number one martial arts Dongfang Bubai.Although Dongfang Bubai's martial arts has not yet recovered, it is easy to deal with the two of them.Seeing He Qicheng approaching gradually, the two killers were still quietly making eye contact, but they didn't know that the praying mantis, the cicada, and the oriole were behind him, and there was already a living Hades standing behind him!

After a while, He Qicheng finally came to the low wall.The two killers did not make a sound, jumped out of the low wall, and stabbed with their swords left and right.But before he rushed to He Qicheng, there was a sudden pain in his back, and he fell to the ground without a sound, which shocked the two guys behind He Qicheng.

The two men screamed, seeing the two people rushing out from behind the wall lying motionless on the ground, although they were afraid in their hearts, they still went up to investigate first.

"Master, Eldest Young Master, it's not good! These two people seem to have died!" A clerk exclaimed in surprise.

He Qicheng couldn't help frowning.His reaction was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he was already alert when he saw the two men rushing out from behind the low wall with sharp knives just now.Although he doesn't know martial arts, he still has one or two sharp weapons for self-defense on his body. He just wanted to use them, but the two gray-robed men fell to the ground and died first, which is really bizarre.

Behind the low wall, Dongfang Bubai pierced the hearts of two killers with two dead branches, and was secretly proud of himself.Originally, with his martial arts, it would be easy to kill the two of them on the spot without a sound before the killer strikes, but it is far less satisfying than giving He Qicheng a fright before doing it like this.Seeing that the two men were scared out of their wits and stood at a loss in front of the two corpses, he couldn't help smiling, but he almost staggered and fell out from behind the wall when he was frightened by He Qicheng's next words.

"Brother Dongfang, is it you?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Dongfang Bubai's mind, he almost thought that He Qicheng's martial arts was actually far superior to his own, so not only could he hide it from his own eyes, but he could also discover his whereabouts at this time.But He Qicheng paused for a moment, and then said to himself: "It's strange, who else is he? I don't know many people from Jianghu who have such martial arts..."

Knowing that He Qicheng was just guessing, Dongfang Bubai quickly stopped and held his breath.At this time, he heard He Qicheng praise his martial arts, and the resentment of being said to be inferior to bandits a few days ago was swept away, and he suddenly felt that He Qicheng was not too disrespectful.

At this moment, He Qicheng clapped his hands suddenly, and raised his voice: "Ah! That's right! Brother Hu must be here! Brother Hu! Brother Hu! Thank you again today! I know it's not convenient for you to see people during the day, Another day, let's talk together in bed at night, how about drinking him so that you don't get drunk?"

Dongfang Bubai was held in mid-air by his words, extremely uncomfortable.Obviously he was the one who killed the two killers, but in a blink of an eye it was the credit of "Brother Hu", how can he not be angry?It's just that He Qicheng called his name earlier, and he didn't show up in time, so now he guessed that "Brother Hu" was on his head. If he went out now, it would look like he was trying to repay his kindness, and he couldn't allow others to miss his kindness.Thinking of this point, Dongfang Bubai, who is the number one martial artist in the world, is also hesitant, raising one foot halfway, neither advancing nor closing.

He Qicheng on the other end waited for a while, and said again: "Brother Hu, is that you? If you really helped me, how about a cough?"

Dongfang Bubai hurriedly pursed his lips tightly, for fear of accidentally coughing.

He Qicheng waited for a while, but he didn't hear anyone's voice, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Yes! How did I forget? Brother Hu, you have a bad voice during the day and can't make a sound. Hahaha! I knew it was you Who else but you doesn't cough when you hear this?"

Dongfang Bubai was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood.He secretly swore in his heart that if he ever met someone from the rivers and lakes who hides his head and shows his tail and makes no sound during the day in the future, he must smash the other person's body into thousands of pieces to avenge today's revenge.

He Qicheng seemed to be in a good mood because he met "Brother Hu", so he immediately ordered the two men to go back quickly and prepare good wine and food for him to drink with "Brother Hu" at night.The three masters and servants walked a few steps, and He Qicheng was still reporting the names of the dishes. Finally, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but tiptoed and jumped in front of the three of them.He intentionally used the "Growing Lotus Step by Step" body technique. When he soared into the air, he seemed to be floating like petals, and when he landed, he seemed to be floating like a feather. In addition, his appearance was handsome, and he looked like a fairy descending to the earth.

The two guys couldn't help but stare dumbfounded, their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, they just didn't kneel and kowtow.Dongfang Bubai also looked surprised when he saw He Qicheng, thinking that he could use such a shocking light work to cover up the embarrassment just now, but He Qicheng was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Hu, brother Hu, why are you so easy to look like this?" look?"

For a moment, the needle drop can be discerned.

After a while, He Qicheng saw that Dongfang Bubai's face was white and red, which was really pretty. Knowing that he was almost angry, he couldn't help but chuckled, stretched out his hand to hold Dongfang Bubai's palm, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dongfang Bubai , I thought you didn't want to come out to see me!"

He was shocked when he saw Dongfang Bubai just now, and his thoughts turned, he naturally guessed that Dongfang Bubai was secretly following behind him, so he could make a timely move.He was very grateful in his heart, but he couldn't help but tease him. Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was probably really annoyed at this time, he immediately accepted it.

Dongfang Bubai was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly realized that He Qicheng had expected him to help, so he used some words to invent a "Brother Hu" to motivate himself to show up.He snorted coldly and wanted to attack.It's just that He Qicheng looked a little happy when he saw him, and he was caught by the other party's palm, so he forcibly endured it.Coldly said: "I don't know where you provoked the killer, but it stained my hands!"

He Qicheng smiled and said: "It's inconvenient to talk here. The two corpses on the ground will be discovered sooner or later. Let's go back to the shop first and then talk slowly." He turned around and said: "Zhao Da, Qian Er, you two go back first, Ask someone to prepare the food and drink. I want to have a good drink with Brother Dongfang tonight!"

Part9

Dongfang Bubai was caught by He Qicheng's palm all the way, and it didn't matter if he pulled it back, or if he didn't. It wasn't until he entered the pharmacy and He Qicheng started to greet everyone that he finally pulled his palm back.When the temperature between his fingers gradually dissipated, he looked down at his palm, and immediately began to regret why he didn't shake off He Qicheng's hand just now, and he might as well throw him somersault.

At this time, it was almost dusk, but the medicine shop was still extremely busy.More than a dozen people were grabbing medicines, copying prescriptions, and several people were coming in from the warehouse with medicinal materials. It was very lively.As soon as He Qicheng stepped through the door, he was grabbed by the shopkeeper and asked about the preparation of the medicinal materials. It took him a whole stick of incense to make the arrangements properly.As soon as He Qicheng was free here, another guy came to report that the stove for decocting medicine was not enough, and asked if he should borrow some from the neighbors first.Dongfang Bubai was left on the sidelines to watch coldly, and felt that the chief shopkeeper of a small commercial firm in Heqicheng, who was busy like an emperor's father, managed everything every day, which was really ridiculous.He showed a sarcastic look while watching. The passers-by saw him, and felt that this person had a bad complexion. He didn't look like a friend who was invited, but he was here to mess things up. Don't dare to be rude.

He Qicheng explained a few more words, when the door curtain of this room moved, a group of green shadows came in, but it was the green jadeite that had arrived.Seeing Dongfang Bubai, Lu Fei couldn't help being a little startled, thinking, the young master said he wanted to drink with someone, could it be with him?I just don't know why this person would go and come back.She told He Qicheng that the banquet was ready and asked him to eat quickly, while observing He Qicheng's reaction.Seeing that He Qicheng really made a gesture of invitation to Dongfang Bubai, he sneaked to Dongfang Bubai to say hello.Lu Fei thought to herself, since this person came back, it was naturally because he wanted to help the young master because he knew how to repay his kindness.Thinking of this, he immediately had a good impression of Dongfang Bubai.How did she know that Dongfang Bubai had indeed helped the boss, but she hated He Qicheng in her heart.

Dongfang Bubai followed He Qicheng into the room without saying a word.I saw eight side dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals. Although they were not delicacies from mountains and seas, they looked quite refreshing and delicious.It is not easy to gather such a table after the catastrophe.

He Qicheng cupped his hands to Dongfang Bubai and said, "Brother Dongfang invites you!" He himself sat down at the main seat first.Dongfang Bubai was not hungry. After taking his seat, he glanced coldly at the person opposite him, until he could see that the handsome face was three points hideous, and then he asked: "Where did you provoke the killer?" ?”

He Qicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Dongfang might as well guess."

Dongfang Bubai said: "How do I know what dirty things you did? Could it be that you stole someone's wife?" When he thought about He Qicheng's appearance, if he was caught and raped in bed during a private meeting with an ugly woman, what would happen to him? The situation was really ridiculous to the extreme, and I immediately felt very happy.

"Brother Dongfang was joking." Knowing that Dongfang Bubai was still angry at the aggressive method just now, He Qicheng was not annoyed when he heard what he said, but instead showed a bit of a smile on his face.

It didn't matter that he smiled, but he saw Dongfang Bubai in his heart.Fortunately, his martial arts are superb, and he recovered after only losing his mind for a moment.He couldn't help cursing in his heart, why does this person smile so beautifully, it just seems like melting ice and snow, and like a spring breeze blowing on his face, he can't see the cunning and meanness in his daily life.In fact, He Qicheng is really not a mean person, it's just that Dongfang Bubai has deep resentment towards him, that's why he thinks like this.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was hesitant to speak, He Qicheng thought that he couldn't figure out the origin of the killer, so he said, "I'm afraid these two are hired by my colleagues!"

Dongfang Bubai murmured: "Going together?"

"That's right. Every experienced businessman knows that after a flood, there will be an epidemic. At this time, the price of medicine is soaring, which is a good time to make a lot of money. I transported medicinal materials all the way to Henan Province. Do you know me? How many pharmacies have been cut off?" He Qicheng waved his four fingers, "Four. There are four well-known pharmacies nearby. Why do you think the plague in Yongning County will be worse this time?" Serious in the past? For no other reason, after the river receded, these four drug dealers joined hands and closed their doors, resulting in a shortage of medicines and an uncontrollable disease. This is the reason for the outbreak of the plague. They have made up their minds , We must collect heavy profits when the epidemic develops beyond control!"

"It's really vicious!" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help opening his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corners of his lips.Anyone who is familiar with him knows that this is his little move before killing someone.He has seen a lot of family killings in the Jianghu, and it is not that he has tried the cruel method himself, but he has never heard of such a combination of several firms to cut off tens of thousands of people's lives at once.Although he is the leader of the demon sect in the people of Jianghu, he is also a bloody man who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and his chest suddenly filled with anger.

He Qicheng nodded in agreement and said: "Businessmen have always valued profits. If they succeed in this matter, the price of medicine on the market will be raised ten times at least, and the profit from it will not be less than tens of thousands of taels. How much money does it cost to hire a killer? If you They will definitely want to get rid of me and hurry up."

Dongfang Bubai said in his heart, although I am not them, I also want to cut you into pieces, but I have a pleasant expression on my face, and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

He Qicheng smiled slightly: "Didn't I have Brother Dongfang to escort me?"

Dongfang Bubai was choked by his words, and was immediately speechless.

He Qicheng said leisurely again: "I think my ex-father-in-law also knew about this matter. Without the help of local officials, how would they dare to do such a beheading business? No wonder the old man sent me out with a smile on his face. I can't bear it, but he is missing my father's old kindness." After speaking, he stood up and poured a glass of wine for Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but hate when he heard the words: "As the county magistrate here, but now he locks up the yamen, and colludes with profiteers to make huge profits, he really deserves to die!"

He Qicheng paused the movements of his hands, thinking to himself, Dongfang Bubai is worthy of being a hero(?) in the Jianghu, and he was so angry when he heard what his former father-in-law did.He couldn't help being moved, he pushed the wine glass in front of Dongfang Bubai, laughed and said, "Brother Dongfang really has been escorting me all this time. Otherwise, how could you know everything about my former father-in-law?" I really want to thank you! Come, come, drink up this glass!" He also filled a glass of wine for himself, and raised it to clink with Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai was so angry that his face turned pale, and suddenly realized that he was tricked out of another sentence.He remembered that he had followed He Qicheng all the way, and if the other party knew about this festival, he didn't know how he would be ridiculed, and he couldn't help but blush a little.Seeing that He Qicheng's white porcelain wine glass had been raised in front of him, he had no choice but to touch the wine glass with He Qicheng.

He Qicheng was in a happy mood, and after clinking glasses, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.He didn't have any expectations for his former father-in-law, so naturally he couldn't be chilled.It's just that he originally thought that he and Dongfang Bubai were in debt, and after recovering from his injury, Dongfang Bubai naturally parted ways with him.Unexpectedly, the other party would appear in Yongning County, and even saved his life under the swords of two killers.

This kind of thing can't be a coincidence.Dongfang Bubai must be with him all the way, so he can rescue him in time.He had already seen that Dongfang Bubai was not only desolate in appearance, but also had an awkward temper. It was really touching to be able to do this in order to repay his kindness.Thinking that he had teased the other party many times today, he didn't dare to mention the matter of escorting him all the way.

To say that He Qicheng originally only heard about the deeds of these children of the rivers and lakes in the novels and storytellers. Now that he met Dongfang Bubai, he found that what was written in the storybook was correct. Repaying his kindness but still unwilling to expose Xingzang, he immediately had a higher opinion of Dongfang Bubai.How did he know that what Dongfang Bubai wanted to repay was not his "favor", but the resentment of several times of verbal collisions.

Seeing that He Qicheng looked at him with a smile but didn't speak, Dongfang Bubai immediately felt embarrassed, and said coldly, "Then what are you going to do from now on? I'm going south this time on business, passing through Henan Mansion, and you happened to be attacked. You won't be so lucky next time."

Seeing that his cheeks were slightly red, He Qicheng sighed and said, "Then I have no choice but to stay in the room and not go out easily."

Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly: "Those two killers can only be regarded as second-rate killers in Jianghu. If the other party is willing to spend some more money and invite a first-rate killer to kill you, even if you hide in the guards every day, you will still die. !"

He Qicheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "May I ask how much silver taels a first-rate killer charges at a time?"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but sneered: "How would I know such a thing?"

The top killers in the world are either lone assassins or come from secret killer organizations.Although the Sun Moon God Sect is known as the Demon Sect, its structure is very loose. It has its own set of methods for managing subordinates and gangs under its name, but there is really no killer organization among them.As the leader of a sect, Dongfang Bubai has his own subordinates to kill whoever he wants, and if he doesn't want to do it himself, naturally he doesn't need to hire a killer to do it for him, so he really doesn't know much about the market of the killer world.

He Qicheng rubbed his chin, and said in a low voice, "If it's more than 5000 taels, they definitely won't invite you. If it's less than 5000 taels...By the way, Brother Dongfang, do you have any first-class guards you can recommend?"

When Dongfang Bubai heard this, he really wanted to tear this man's mouth to pieces.He took a few breaths, adjusted his breath, and said bitterly: "No!"

He Qicheng looked hesitant: "Then... I don't know what chance Brother Dongfang has to win against a first-rate killer?"

Dongfang Bubai almost blurted out the sentence "I am the best in martial arts in the world", but after thinking about it, he felt that there were not many people with the same surname Dongfang in the world, and it would be very bad if He Qicheng saw something because of this sentence.After recovering his martial arts, he still wants to find Ren Woxing's bad luck and regain the position of leader of the Sun Moon God Sect. Naturally, he can't expose Xingzang so quickly.He had no choice but to say coldly, "Of course you will know when the killer comes."

In fact, He Qicheng had already seen Dongfang Bubai's extraordinary strength. The two second-rate killers died silently in front of him. If the first-rate killers came, I'm afraid they could only last for a while at most.It's just that for some reason, he really wanted to continue watching Dongfang Bubai's frenzied appearance. Hearing what Dongfang Bubai said, he immediately put on an anxious expression on his face, and said eagerly: "When someone really comes, you will be able to see it." It's too late! If Brother Dongfang doesn't tell me the truth first, how can I feel sorry if you get hurt because of me?"

Dongfang Bubai was furious at He Qicheng, and now he finally came to his senses and found that the other party really had a bad personality inside, and he just wanted to make fun of himself.Now that he has figured it out, how can He Qicheng succeed, he immediately smiled: "If I am injured, I have to ask Brother He Xian to heal my injury again."

He Qicheng's hairs stood on end from his laughter, and he nodded quickly: "Naturally, naturally. It's a pity that it is easy to prevent killers, but it is difficult to completely end this plague!"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help wondering: "Even you can't cure the disease here?"

He Qicheng shook his head and said: "This disease is easy to cure, and the medicinal materials are hard to come by! To tell you the truth, Brother Dongfang, the medicinal materials I brought this time were only enough for five days. They were lost by the Bandits. After the day is over, I'm afraid it will be an empty city plan."

Dongfang Bubai frowned: "I'm going to kill those four profiteers and take away their property."

But He Qicheng lightly pressed the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang, don't worry. I'm still waiting for them to kneel down and beg me! Come, come, don't just drink, but also taste the handicraft of green jadeite! This dish of emerald tofu Soup is her specialty!"

For the moment, I stopped talking about business, and started to drink with Dongfang Bubai.

Part10

He Qicheng has a good capacity for alcohol, drinking is like drinking water.Dongfang Bubai wins with profound internal strength, and a little exercise can force the smell of alcohol out of the body.The two of them drank one cup after another until the Yinshi Geng Drum beat, both of them felt very happy.Dongfang Bubai's pride rose in his heart, he pulled He Qicheng out of the house, and with a single step, he had already brought him up to the roof.

It was the darkest time before dawn, and it was really quiet without a single light.The two fumbled for a few drinks in the night, which was quite interesting.He Qicheng clamored to change wine jars to drink, but Dongfang Bubai had no choice but to go down and fetch another eight jars of fine wine, and lined up on the eaves.

After drinking for a while, He Qicheng's face finally became a little drunk.He turned his head sideways, staring at Dongfang Bubai with sparkling eyes.Dongfang Bubai was annoyed by his look, turned his head and drank a few more sips of wine, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by the people around him.He was startled, and almost wished for luck to blow He Qicheng into the air, but when he thought that it would be too boring to take revenge at this time, he had no choice but to hold back.

He Qicheng leaned close to Dongfang Bubai's ear, breathed out the smell of alcohol first, and then said with a smile: "Do you know why I have not been drunk? Let me tell you! All the veins on my body are sealed off from external evil, not to mention just a few jars of wine , Even if you drink a pot of poison, you will still... still be alive and kicking."

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, he didn't expect the phenomenon of natural depression to have such an effect.I just don't know if this is unique to He Qicheng, or if all people who are born with depression are born like this.Thinking of He Qicheng's wit, his bones and bones, but his pulse condition is different from ordinary people's and he can't practice martial arts, he can't help but feel a bit regretful.

Dongfang Bubai was thinking wildly in his mind, and He Qicheng was mixed in his ears again, he said for a while, "I see, you are already drunk", and then said, "I haven't had such a good drink for a long time, and I will have a drink with you tomorrow. Drink again."Seeing that he was already drunk, Dongfang Bubai knew that although the smell of alcohol could not enter his meridians, he would still become confused if he drank too much.At the moment, he ignored He Qicheng's nonsense, raised his hand to make him faint, and poured himself a drink facing the distance alone.

After a while, the east gradually turned white, and a round of red sun jumped out of the ground.Although the streets around are still muddy, people seeking medical treatment have already arrived one after another, and the smoke from the kitchen rises in the distance, and the chickens are screaming and the dogs are barking, which gives people a sense of recovery.Dongfang Bubai could not help narrowing his eyes slightly while drinking wine and looking at the red sun.Thinking that my nickname was originally "Sunrise in the East, I am the only one who is invincible", but compared with this situation and this scene, she is more than arrogant and less open-minded, so I might as well change it in the future.

He saw that He Qicheng was already sound asleep leaning against him, his jade-like face looked extraordinarily peaceful and serene under the rising sun.After drinking the last jar of wine, he stacked eight wine jars in a corner of the yard with skill, supported He Qicheng and jumped off the roof, stuffed the person on the bed, sat down cross-legged at the end of the bed, and started to meditate and practice. All was well .

After waking up, He Qicheng did not go out anymore, but the shopkeeper in the front yard came to report the shortage of medicinal materials three times a day and asked him what to do.He Qicheng only asked the shopkeeper to take the medicine as usual, so don't worry, but he asked Dongfang Bubai to inquire about strange things in the world.

Dongfang Bubai talked with him for a while, and found that this person really didn't know anything about the world, he couldn't help but secretly surprised.He Qicheng explained that most of his business was grain, cloth, salt, tea, and the four treasures of the study, and he would never provoke the heroes of the world. When encountering large quantities of goods, he didn't even need to hire escorts. enough.For example, it was the first time in several years that the goods were robbed by bandits in Wulu Mountain this time.

When Dongfang Bubai heard that He Qicheng actually sold the Four Treasures of the Study, he couldn't help but take the opportunity to ridicule He Qicheng's handwriting, laughing that he was born in a family of Confucian merchants, and his handwriting was like a dog running around, extremely ugly.He Qicheng was not annoyed when he heard the words, saying that he had little time to practice, and when he was free for a while, he must spend more time copying some copybooks.

Dongfang Bubai thought, He Qicheng hasn't practiced for 20 years, let alone a few days?Immediately, he felt much better, so he casually instilled in He Qicheng the idea that the Sun Moon God Sect is the largest sect in the world.Because he was worried that He Qicheng would guess his identity and origin, he had no choice but to pick out several sects such as Shaolin and Wudang to explain.As for the Five Sacred Sword Sect, which has been hostile to the Sun Moon God Sect for a long time, they only talked about a few major events that happened there, and made fun of the martial arts of the Five Sacred Sacred Sword Sect, then briefly mentioned them.

He Qicheng listened with gusto, and after Dongfang Bubai had finished speaking, he asked about the income, expenditure, and industry of the various sects in detail the next day, and then he sighed. Pai Zhen is worthy of being a leader in the Jianghu. It doesn't matter that they have their own spheres of influence. They also have land and countless shops under their sect. It can be said that they have a fixed income every month. No wonder they can stand tall in the martial arts.

He Qicheng paused, and then concluded that, apart from these first-class famous sects, the rest of the sects either rely on mountains to eat mountains or rely on water to eat water, and each monopolizes a certain income within a certain range.For example, the Dongting Gang is a group of fishermen on Dongting Lake.Another example is the Salt Gang, which is also composed of merchants and peddlers who brought smuggled salt from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the inland.As for the Taishan School, Hengshan School and other sects with Taoist and Buddhist origins, they can live frugally on sesame oil money.The strangest thing is the gang of beggars, who rely on tens of thousands of disciples to beg for their living!It's just that the victory lies in the fact that there are many people and powerful people, gathering sand to form a tower, and financial resources should not be underestimated.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help laughing after hearing his analysis.Strength has always been the most important thing in Jianghu, and the superiority of sects is naturally determined by martial arts. There is no one like him who analyzes the strength of sects based on income.

He Qicheng said sternly, martial arts competition can naturally tell the difference, but it is not as accurate as analyzing financial resources.Just because the financial resources of a faction are often affected by the martial arts level of the disciples in the faction.For example, if one school sends out a person with high martial arts skills, there must be an endless stream of disciples who come to learn the art, and the apprenticeship ceremony alone is a big income.Even to ensure that one party is safe to collect contributions from nearby business travelers, and to be invited to make a move to earn rewards from fellow Jianghu, etc., are all ways to make money.So high martial arts naturally means high income.However, compared with martial arts, financial resources can better reflect the overall strength of the sect since its establishment.How much property you have, how much property you have, as long as it is not taken away, even if you are a disciple who can't make a name for a while, you can revive the sect after a few years and wait for another martial arts wizard to emerge.If you don't even have these basics, it will be difficult to support a faction with the strength of a top expert alone.He Qicheng also said that the vendettas between those sects seem to be due to the distinction between good and evil and personal grievances, but in fact, a large part of them are also to suppress the opponent's power and expand their own territory.

Dongfang Bubai was speechless for a while after hearing this, and then murmured after a while, if this is the case, the heads of each faction don't need to practice martial arts diligently, it is better to hold the account book every day to calculate and buy land and open a store, maybe a few years of hard work, the fortune With great power, it really compares the Sun Moon God Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang.

He Qicheng nodded in agreement, saying that as the head of the sect, he should naturally use his brains on the profit and loss of the sect, as it would be unwise for Mr. Mo Da not to prevent Liu Zhengfeng from being killed. "Thinking that the Liu family has been wiped out, the property is falling apart, and Mr. Mo Da doesn't want to take over, I'm afraid that the Hengshan School will become even more high-ranking and sparsely populated in the future!" He Qicheng thought for a while, and then said: "The Wuyue Sword School is really serious. It's interesting, they are united but they don't want to make progress. It would be a great achievement if they can squeeze the power of the Sun Moon God Sect out of the five mountains. But they chose to be defensive, and the only few times they took the initiative were internal friction. Really mindless."

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help smiling after hearing this: "I think Zuo Lengchan of Songshan Mountain has great ambitions. In the past two years, he has been acting constantly in private. I'm afraid he wants to annex the other four sects and become the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Mile!"

But He Qicheng shook his head: "No, no. Five Sacred Sword Sects are far apart, and they all operate in different industries. If they form an alliance, they can only do their own thing and use their aura to intimidate others. They cannot be completely mixed together, making them look like Buddhas. It’s not true. It’s like your family owns a silk and satin shop, and my family owns a restaurant and teahouse. If they are combined together, is it reasonable to sell silk and satin in the restaurant? If you and I are united, only mutual capital can make us more prosperous. Go up a floor."

Dongfang Bubai heard that his words were very different from what he had heard in the past. He wanted to refute for a while but couldn't think of any words, so he just waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, only you have foresight. Okay, I will put All the sects and sects in the Jianghu have told you so many times that they are dry, so it is your turn to tell how you are going to make those four profiteers kneel down and beg for mercy?"

He Qicheng made a premise after drinking that day, saying that he has a way to subdue those colleagues who pay for murder, and then he never mentioned it again. Rao Dongfang Bubai, seeing that he has not moved in the past few days, he can't help being a little curious.Dongfang Bubai had already murdered those four drug dealers, if he didn't want to see He Qicheng's methods, how could he allow those four profiteers to live until now?

After a few days of inquiring, he found out clearly that the He family in Huizhou is one of the most powerful merchants in the world, with various shops scattered all over the country, and their net worth is at least a million.As the chief shopkeeper of the He family, He Qicheng really turned his hand into clouds and rain in the business world.It's just that he used his personal identity for disaster relief this time, and he couldn't use the family's huge sum of money, but he didn't know how he would suppress his colleagues.

He Qicheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "This method won't work if you talk about it. Brother Dongfang, I need to read the account book for a while, and then tell me about Wudang Master Zhang's deeds? Come, drink a cup of tea first to moisten your throat. "He poured a full cup of tea and handed it to Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai was secretly annoyed, this man regarded himself as a storyteller.He saw a large pile of ledgers piled up in front of He Qicheng, at least a thousand pages, and immediately felt relieved, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "What's there to tell about Zhang Sanfeng's deeds, why don't I tell you about it?" The connection between the divine religion and the Emperor Taizu."

While reading the account book, He Qicheng commented on it with his handy words, chatting with Dongfang Bubai at the same time, and had a good time.Dongfang Bubai's voice is clear and soft, and although his speech is concise, it is also pleasant to hear.He Qicheng only felt that Dongfang Bubai knew all kinds of secrets like the back of his hand, and he must have chatted with people in restaurants and teahouses as often as himself.How did he know that the leader of Dongfang doesn't even need to say a word on weekdays, he can decide the life and death of others with just a look. These secrets and anecdotes are collected by his subordinates. Say it casually.If Dongfang Bubai knew that in He Qicheng's heart he was labeled as a "pure inquisitor" in addition to being a "valiant man", he would probably vomit blood with anger.

The two lived leisurely, and on the morning of the fourth day, the pharmacy in front finally ran out of medicinal materials.The shopkeeper was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the people outside all sighed when they saw it.However, He Qicheng was confident, and asked the shopkeeper to put up a sign to close for a long time, saying that new medicines would naturally arrive tomorrow morning.When the common people heard the news, many of them didn't leave. They spread grass and clothes in front of the medicine shop and lay down, waiting for the opening tomorrow to seize the opportunity.Dongfang Bubai noticed that there were many suspicious people looking around, but He Qicheng told him to stand still and wait for the good news.

After noon, I saw dust rising from the north side of the street, but it was the arrival of the medicinal herbs team.Dozens of porters were pushing wheelbarrows, all of which were loaded with large black lacquered boxes, walking towards the medicinal herb shop of the He family.The people who had good deeds were counted, and there were a total of 36 wooden boxes.The steward who led the team walked up to He Qicheng, respectfully called out the young master, and took out the list of medicinal materials for He Qicheng to have a look at.He Qicheng glanced at it, nodded, and said loudly: "Thank you, Baoding Mansion steward!" He turned around and ordered the shopkeeper to take the steward and the porter to move all the medicinal materials to the warehouse.

Not long after, dust also rose from the south side of the street, and dozens of porters, led by a green-robed steward, walked straight to He's pharmacy.Those porters were all burly, pushing wheelbarrows, and they were sweating profusely in winter.He Qicheng counted and took another 36 large boxes, said "Thank you for the steward of Fengyang Mansion", and ordered the shopkeeper to take everyone to the backyard to rest.The people outside were all beaming and joyful when they saw the many medicinal materials.

On this day, until dusk, He Qicheng actually received five batches of medicinal materials in a row, a total of 180 large boxes.In order to arrange for the porters to rest, not only the inn in the county was full, but even the houses of the neighbors were rented out by him.The warehouse of the medicine store was full, and there were many wooden boxes piled up in the backyard. The staff were busy covering it with oiled paper for fear that the medicinal materials would get wet in case of rain.

Dongfang Bubai waited until Xushi, seeing that He Qicheng was still looking at the account book and had no intention of eating, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.At this time, the shopkeeper brought an invitation card to He Qicheng's room.When He Qicheng saw the content of the invitation, he couldn't help laughing out loud. He held Dongfang Bubai's hand and said, "Come, come, come, today I invite you to eat Yellow River carp!"

Part11

When He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai came out together, a servant had already been guarding outside the medicine shop, leading them to a restaurant.There is a large golden plaque at the entrance of the restaurant, with four big characters "Ten Miles of Fragrance" written on it, and red silk more than ten feet long are pulled up on the left and right.
