Chapter 393

Whoosh…………

The noise of the airflow driven by the golden palm wind sounded from overhead. Yang Ning and Li Hu instantly faced a formidable enemy. While raising their hands to block, their bodies quickly dodged to both sides.

The two had different strengths, so their reactions were also different.

Li Hu's basic strength was only fourteen manes, so he didn't dare to be arrogant and had to raise both hands to block with all his strength;

While Yang Ning's strength reached twenty-one manes, he only used his left hand to block. Seeing Yuan Cheng actually attacking with both hands, attempting to subdue the two of them in one blow, a cold look appeared in his eyes. His right hand actually took out a small silver dagger from behind, suddenly drew a cold light, and fiercely stabbed at Yuan Cheng's chest.

Swish…………

Seeing Yang Ning take out the dagger, no look of surprise appeared in Yuan Cheng's eyes.

Although the Myriad Treasures Tower explicitly stipulated that no weapons were allowed, when these people came in, they at most left their conspicuous main weapons downstairs. It was inevitable that they would bring in daggers that were easy to hide.

So there was no surprise in the eyes of the onlookers around. When Yuan Cheng attacked just now, they had already retreated. Seeing Yang Ning take out the dagger to counterattack at this moment, a look of shock rose on their faces instantly.

Bang... bang...

Yuan Cheng's palms finally landed on the heads of Yang and Li, blasting out two loud noises.

Crack... crack…………

Then came two incredibly crisp sounds of bone fracture.

Li Hu, who was weaker, had his palms broken directly, and his body was inserted straight into the floor of the third level like a nail, leaving only half of his body outside;

Yang Ning, who was stronger, because he only used his left arm to block, also only broke his left arm. And because his speed was slightly faster, he avoided half a body position, so his body fell obliquely to the left.

However, his body did not fall completely.

Because Yuan Cheng's left hand was grabbing his small silver dagger, hanging his entire body in mid-air, looking at him with a slightly playful and mocking look.

"Deputy Si Zheng Yuan's strength is this strong?"

"The dagger in the hand of that person from Beishuo is made of silver, right? It actually can't cut Lord Yuan's skin-membrane?"

"Speed, the key is speed. That person's strength should be above 20 manes. After Deputy Si Zheng Yuan slapped the other person away, he could still grab his dagger in a flash. This proves that the strength of the two is completely not on the same level!"

"Great Xia's Si Zheng level figures basically have strength above 30 manes. I thought it was a rumor before, but it turns out it's all true."

………………

Bang!

Yuan Cheng naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to establish his prestige. He clenched Yang Ning's dagger and kicked him away directly.

Pfft...

Yang Ning's body slammed fiercely into the wall, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he struggled for a long time but couldn't get out of the wall. Then he looked up and happened to meet Yuan Cheng's proud yet playful and mocking eyes. He clenched his fists tightly instantly, his heart full of resentment and unwillingness.

It's only been nine years, only a short nine years!

He remembered very clearly that nine years ago, he and Li Hu looked at that group of people from Great Xia with this kind of look. In just nine years, the roles of the two sides had been swapped.

The key was that this Yuan Cheng was just a subordinate that Xia Hong took to the Luo Ge camp nine years ago.

The intense sense of shame produced by this role reversal made Yang Ning's heart almost crazy at this moment. But realizing that his strength had created a huge chasm with the three Yuan Cheng in front of him, his full madness could only turn into powerlessness, and he could only glare at the three Yuan Cheng.

"Don't look at me like that. Nine years have passed, and I have become stronger. I thought you would have made some progress, but I didn't expect you to be such trash. It seems that this so-called Beishuo background you are proud of is nothing more than this!"

Yuan Cheng lifted Li Hu, who had already fainted, and walked slowly to Yang Ning's front. Seeing him staring at himself, he was not angry, but shook his head and showed a smile, feeling bored in his heart.

"I, Yang Ning, admit defeat today. Stop talking nonsense, do it!"

The moment he realized that their identities were exposed, Yang Ning determined that today was a dead end. Having lost the strength, he naturally couldn't lose the face of Beishuo anymore.

His posture of viewing death as returning home really caused many people to exclaim.

"Yang Ning, the fourth-generation descendant of the Yang family in Beishuo, right?"

"The fourth-generation descendant of the Yang family, there is no one named Yang Ning among the Six Steeds of the Yang family, right?"

"The Six Steeds are Yang Bao, Yang Gong, Yang Xuan, Yang An, Yang Shou, and Yang Ding. There is indeed no Yang Ning."

"The fame is not great, it should be just a collateral branch."

"A collateral branch is also a member of the Yang family! Why did he come to Hong Sect?"

………………

Hearing the voices of the people around, Yuan Cheng's brows sank slightly. He didn't come out today to give face to Yang Ning and the two. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and pulled Yang Ning out of the wall, then carried them like chicks, Li Hu in his left hand and Yang Ning in his right, and threw the two directly down from the window.

It was just that after the two fell from the window, they didn't make any sound.

Yuan Cheng leaned close to the window and looked down, a smile appeared on his face instantly, and he jumped down from the window directly.

Qiu Peng and Lin Kai followed closely behind, the troublemakers in the tower also followed out of the tower, and the others all gathered at the window, wanting to continue watching the excitement.

"May I ask Deputy Si Zheng Yuan, what great crime did my two grandsons commit that is worth you doing it yourself and hurting them like this?"

Everyone first heard a question from below, and then after getting close to the window, they saw that thirteen people in white had rushed to the front of the tower. The reason why Yang Ning and Li Hu didn't make a sound when they were thrown down by Yuan Cheng just now was because the leading old man among the team in white caught them.

That old man in white should have checked the injuries of Yang Ning and Li Hu. At this moment, his expression was incredibly ugly, and he was glaring angrily at the three Yuan Cheng who had just walked out of the tower. The question just now clearly came from him.

There were quite a few people entering and leaving around the Myriad Treasures Tower to begin with. Two injured people suddenly fell from the window, instantly attracting the attention of many people, who stopped and looked over here one after another.

"Those thirteen, are they from Beishuo Town?"

"Nonsense, that is the head of the Beishuo Chamber of Commerce, Yang Fan, the eldest son of Yang Fa."

"The twelve behind him are all high-level members of the Beishuo Chamber of Commerce. Didn't you see the two youngest at the end? Those are Yang Shou and Yang Ding among the Six Steeds!"

"How did they come over?"

"The Beishuo Chamber of Commerce arrived in Hong Sect City a long time ago. They should have stayed here because they haven't negotiated the price with Great Xia yet. It is estimated that someone just saw what happened in the tower and went to notify Yang Fan."

"Not just Yang Fan, look over there. People from the other seven town chambers of commerce seem to have arrived as well. It is estimated that they are all here to watch the excitement."

"Saw them, Cao Tianhong, Long Wenyan, Murong Shang, Jiang Yuanqing."

"Qin Yuan Fu, Shangguan Ying, and Duan Zhao have also come."

Hong Sect City is not big to begin with, and the Myriad Treasures Tower is highly anticipated, so as long as there is a little disturbance, the news will spread immediately.

Today is the first day of the ninth month. Strictly speaking, the trade between the Eight Town Chambers of Commerce and Great Xia has just begun. Although some important material transactions have been completed, that is only a part after all, and many other transactions need to be negotiated slowly, so the heads of the Eight Town Chambers of Commerce basically stayed in Hong Sect City.

Beishuo is the party involved, so it is understandable that they came quickly.

People from the other seven towns are clearly here to watch the excitement.

"What? These two people who hide their heads and show their tails are actually Elder Yang's grandsons?"

Not to mention the reactions of others, Yuan Cheng heard Yang Fan's question and immediately pretended to be surprised, then smiled and said, "Elder Yang still needs to confirm carefully. When these two rats entered the city, they both claimed to be from Jin Yang Village, Yinhe Valley, Jin Shan Town, one named Liu Ning and the other named Li Hu. How could they be Elder Yang's grandsons?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan's face stagnated. Seeing Yang Ning lowering his head and dodging his eyes, how could he not understand that his own family was at fault first.

But looking at the miserable state of the two, he still couldn't swallow this breath, especially noticing many people from the seven towns surrounding him, he turned his head and glared at Yuan Cheng, his tone low, "Even if they used a fake identity to enter, Lord Yuan doesn't need to use such a heavy hand, right? Yang Ning is my grand-grandson, and there is no doubt about his status as a member of the Yang family. Li Hu is also a member of my Beishuo. Lord, you hurt the two like this for no reason. Today, no matter what, you must give me an explanation!"

After listening to Yang Fan's words, Yuan Cheng's smile remained, but his eyes were obviously lowered. He pointed to Yang Ning and Li Hu on the ground and continued, "If these two idiots just mixed in under a fake name, then this Deputy Si Zheng would at most expel them from the city like before. But they dared to frame my Great Xia for being related to strange monsters in front of so many people in the Myriad Treasures Tower. This Deputy Si Zheng beating them today is already showing extra mercy for the sake of them being young and ignorant..."

Young and ignorant. Hearing these four words, the expressions of the people around became incredibly strange instantly. Li Hu and Yang Ning lying on the ground were clearly about the same age as Yuan Cheng, and might even be older than Yuan Cheng. Yuan Cheng's four words were clearly meant to humiliate the two.

Yuan Cheng's tone was flat throughout. After speaking, he paused, his expression suddenly became gloomy, he looked directly at Yang Fan, changed the subject, and said, "These are not to be discussed for now. President Yang, let alone just your two grandsons, even you yourself, and these people from your Beishuo Chamber of Commerce, if you dare to mix in with a fake identity and are caught by me, I will kill you if I say so. Do you really think that the rules I set at the city gate of Great Xia are just for decoration?"

"No matter what, I must give you an explanation. Then President Yang, why don't you tell Yuan now, what kind of explanation do you want today?"

After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, the whole scene was silent instantly. Everyone's eyes gathered on the fifteen people of Beishuo, including Yang Fan.

Great Xia is clearly using Beishuo to establish prestige.

People from the seven town chambers of commerce, including all the guests in the Myriad Treasures Tower today, as long as they were a little smart, almost all realized this point.

Others could see it, and Yang Fan, who was nearly a hundred years old, how could he not see it? He instantly sensed Yuan Cheng's sinister intentions, knowing that if he retreated at this moment, it would only cause Beishuo to lose its prestige and become a joke of the Eight Towns. He immediately sneered in a low voice:

"Great Xia has only been involved in the Mo'ao area for just over four months, and relying on the cheapness of Ba Shang being destroyed, you dare to be so arrogant."

We Beishuo gave you face, so we traveled thousands of miles to come here to trade and communicate with you. Unexpectedly, this is how you Great Xia treat guests."

"Yuan Cheng, you don't need to be arrogant either. Want to intimidate me? Isn't this Hong Sect City the territory of Great Xia? If you have the guts, kill all fifteen of us from Beishuo now. See if I blink."

Ginger is still old and spicy!

Yang Fan's words directly set Yuan Cheng up, making his expression stiffen instantly.

Does Yuan Cheng dare to kill in Hong Sect City?

He really doesn't dare much. At the very least, he couldn't in this situation.

Hong Sect City can not only continuously bring huge economic benefits to Great Xia, but it is also a concentrated display window for Great Xia to the outside world. Ensuring the safety of everyone is the primary principle. Without sufficient reasons, one must not kill casually. If it becomes known to everyone, that is even more impossible.

This was a paragraph of words Xia Hong personally gave to Xia Chuan and them when he left Hong Sect some time ago. Yuan Cheng was also present at that time.

With the leader's instructions, Yuan Cheng naturally couldn't kill, but his anger was still ignited by Yang Fan, and he couldn't help but drink low in a deep voice:

"Old thing, do you really think I dare not kill you!"

"Then..."

"President Yang just said that Beishuo gave our Great Xia face, so you traveled thousands of miles to come here to trade and communicate with us?"

Seeing that Yuan Cheng's anger was really ignited, Qiu Peng was worried that he would really make a move on impulse, so he finally couldn't help but speak.

He first asked a rhetorical question, and then without waiting for Yang Fan to answer, he smiled and continued, "Qiu was puzzled in his heart before. Why did the trade of the other six towns go very smoothly, but it didn't work when it came to Beishuo and Jin Shan towns? I thought it was because the financial resources of the two towns were limited, and I was thinking about whether to lower some prices. Now I know that President Yang has always thought this way in his heart."

As soon as Qiu Peng spoke, Yang Fan actually regretted it a bit.

But the arrow has been shot and cannot be turned back. It was too late for him to say anything now.

"Since it is said by President Yang's status, it must be able to represent Beishuo Town. Since Beishuo thinks that it is our Great Xia begging you to trade, then I think Great Xia's things can't enter Beishuo's eyes. From today on, there is no need for trade between the two towns. The Beishuo Chamber of Commerce, together with everyone in the town, doesn't need to come to Hong Sect City in the future!"

Wow…………

No one expected that Qiu Peng would announce the severance of trade relations between Great Xia and Beishuo in front of so many people, and not only the Beishuo Chamber of Commerce, but as long as they were people from Beishuo Town, they didn't need to come to Hong Sect City in the future!

The surroundings were in an uproar instantly, and the expressions of the people from the seven town chambers of commerce were also stunned.

Yang Fan's body shook, thinking of the medicinal pills and materials he had seen in the Myriad Treasures Tower these past few days, he clenched his fists under his sleeves instantly, his heart trembling endlessly.

First, he didn't expect Qiu Peng's reaction to be so absolute;

Second, he didn't expect Qiu Peng's power to be so great.

As far as he knew, Qiu Peng was just the Deputy Si Zheng of the Camp Needs Department among the eight departments of Great Xia. Although he was in charge of materials, money, and food, he could also make a unilateral decision on such a big matter as trade with the Eight Towns. This indeed greatly exceeded his expectations.

And Qiu Peng here hadn't even finished yet. He looked far away at the people from the seven town chambers of commerce, found Shangguan Ying, and asked with a smile, "Jin Shan and Beishuo's thoughts seem to be about the same. President Shangguan, why don't you..."

"Deputy Si Zheng Qiu, Shangguan Ying guarantees that my Jin Shan Town has never had such thoughts as Beishuo. I really want those materials of Great Xia. The price can be negotiated slowly. After dawn, I guarantee to give Lord Qiu a satisfactory answer, how about it?"

With the previous warning, Shangguan Ying immediately became obedient, immediately cut ties with Beishuo, and gave an answer by patting his chest directly.

"Then Qiu will wait for President Shangguan to come to the door!"

Seeing Shangguan Yang so sensible, Qiu Peng nodded with a full smile on his face. Seeing the presidents of the other six towns bowing and greeting him politely one after another, he also nodded and responded one by one, a look of pride rising in his eyes.

This is the unequal trade relationship brought about by productivity!

Only the Eight Towns beg Great Xia; Great Xia will not beg the Eight Towns.

Does Great Xia need the things of the Eight Towns?

Of course it needs them. Basic materials unique to the Eight Towns, such as medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, ores, cold beast materials, etc., no matter what, as long as it is a new species that cannot be found in its own territory, Great Xia needs them all.
