Chapter 431: Mortal Dynasty, Jiang Kingdom
Liefeng City is the territory of the Feng family.
The Feng family's status in Liefeng City is equivalent to that of the Xiao family in Dongzi City. Both are omnipotent and have the final say.
Even the city defense formation within Liefeng City is managed by the Feng family.
No matter what kind of powerful cultivator enters the city, the Feng family will be able to detect it immediately.
In Liefeng City, no one dares to harm the Feng family.
Rong Shu only wanted to find out Feng Qingming's background, but he didn't want to take action openly in Liefeng City and challenge the authority of the Feng family.
"Just two hours ago, Feng Qingming left Liefeng City and went to the capital of a mortal dynasty outside to do business. The royal family of that mortal dynasty are all mortals who cannot practice cultivation. The highest level of cultivation enshrined in the palace is the Golden Core Stage. As long as you are careful, you can completely hide your traces." Xiao Zian said.
"The news has been confirmed repeatedly."
"Junior Sister, when do you want to leave?"
Rong Shu said without hesitation: "This opportunity cannot be missed. I will leave now."
"What's the name of that mortal dynasty? Where is it located? Is there any information about it?"
"Well, I've prepared it for you a long time ago. The mortal dynasty is called Jiang Kingdom. The first jade slip contains detailed information about Jiang Kingdom. You can just take it with you and read it slowly on the way." Xiao Zian handed over the two jade slips.
"The second jade slip contains instructions on how to contact the Xiao family's secret agents. Destroy it after reading it. As members of the six great families, they are not in a position to directly target Feng Qingming, but they can help you gather information, monitor Feng Qingming, and carry out cleanup work."
Xiao Zian has arranged everything.
Rong Shu first returned to Weixing Peak, changed into men's clothes, and then disguised himself. He painted the skin of his hands, feet, face and neck yellow, drew his eyebrows thicker, and finally took a disguise pill. His appearance immediately became ordinary.
She put the Heart-Protecting Bell, Four Symbols Knife, and Fire Feather Bow, which could easily reveal her identity, into the Hanchuan Qiankun Pearl.
The storage bag left around his waist was of a very ordinary style, the kind that no one would pick up if thrown on the street.
Inside were a small amount of spirit stones, silver and money from the secular world, and several flying swords without any markings or features.
"Fourth Senior Brother, I'll be leaving first."
Rong Shu handed the storage bag containing the items from the rare treasure area to Xiao Zian: "These are some spiritual herbs I just exchanged at the academy. Some of them have intact roots. Please help me transplant them into the medicine field."
Xiao Zian took the storage bag and said, "Okay, leave it to me, Senior Brother."
"Junior sister, please go early and come back early."
"..."
The Zhongzhou continent is vast and boundless.
In addition to the three major dynasties well known to the cultivators, there are hundreds of mortal dynasties in the secular world. Within the territories of these dynasties, there live a large number of mortal people who have no spiritual roots.
In the Mortal Dynasty, there are three general rules:
First, monks cannot easily harm mortal people. Without the decree of the three great dynasties, monks cannot arbitrarily interfere in the political power of mortal dynasties.
Secondly, members of the royal family of the mortal dynasty who have spiritual roots are not allowed to live in their home country after they reach the age of twenty. They must go to a sect of immortal cultivation to practice diligently and are not allowed to interfere with the succession of royal power in the mortal dynasty.
Third, the supreme ruler of the dynasty must be someone without spiritual roots and is not allowed to practice Taoism.
This time, Rong Shu was going to the Jiang Kingdom, which was in the northwest of the Shenfeng Territory.
The land area of Jiang State is only medium to small, and it is a small country. Because there are seven or eight countries around it, Jiang State has a superior geographical location, and the caravans and travelers coming and going have contributed to the commercial prosperity of Jiang State.
Many merchants who smell business opportunities will come from afar and open shops in Jiang State.
Feng Qingming is one of them.
The Songzhu Pavilion under her management currently has 27 branches.
The 28th branch was opened in Jiang State a month ago.
Today is the fixed day that Feng Qingming goes out to check the accounts every month.
"How was the revenue last month?" Feng Qingming sat in the private room, listening to the manager's report.
"Miss Fifth, I opened the shop for a promotion last month. The costs were quite high, so I haven't made back my investment yet. But if I wait another two months, I'll definitely be able to make a profit."
Feng Qingming: "Didn't you follow the menu I gave you? How come you're still losing money?"
"Miss Fifth, you may not know that although Jiang Country has a developed business, it has little arable land and food is scarce. Therefore, the people of Jiang Country generally prefer real rice, grain, meat and vegetables..."
For example, the cakes, milk tea, fried chicken that Songzhu Pavilion offers all year round...they all have fresh flavors and are delicious.
However, the people of Jiang are still accustomed to eating ordinary rice and noodles.
"What about the merchants from other places? They don't all have the same tastes as the people of Jiang Country. They don't enjoy it, do they?"
The steward was a little distressed: "It's not that I don't like merchants from other places...it's just that merchants need to be on the road, and food like cakes will be smudged into a mess if the carriage is bumpy a few times."
Moreover, instead of buying finished products to taste, more merchants come to inquire about the recipe and see if they can purchase it.
The production method of cake milk tea is not difficult and it is easy to replicate.
Although Songzhu Pavilion is under the name of the Feng family, no one dares to compete for its interests openly, but in private... it may not be the case.
Feng Qingming spent the entire afternoon counting the bill in the private room, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
In the past, all branches were opened successfully, but problems arose immediately after the first branch was opened in the Mortal Dynasty.
"Give me two more cups of milk tea."
"Yes."
The steward immediately ordered the servant to go down.
The servant hurried to the kitchen, brought out two bowls of milk tea and went upstairs.
At a corner, a black-clad swordsman in his early thirties rushed towards them and almost knocked over two bowls of milk tea.
"Sorry, sorry..." The black-clad swordsman quickly reached out to help hold the tray.
Without the servant noticing, the two pills fell into the bowl, dissolved in water, and disappeared without a trace.
This was just a small accident, and the waiter didn't take it seriously. He continued to carry the milk tea into the private room.
And outside.
The "Black Swordsman" curled his lips silently.
She secretly calculated the time.
Five, four, three, two...
There was a noise coming from the private room above.
"Hiss... I have to go to the bathroom first. As for the account book... Ugh! We'll talk about it tomorrow... Ugh!"
Upstairs, there was chaos and disorder.
Downstairs, the "black-clad swordsman" smiled silently: Ha, it seems that the effects of the Five Grains Reincarnation Pill and the Fragrant Mouth Pill are quite good.
