Chapter 161: Business (Added 16)

In fact, not much time had passed since Little Wei Yuan first arrived in the Western Region, but after experiencing so many things, it felt as if a long time had passed.

Little Wei Yuan tilted his head slightly, squinted at the shopkeeper, and said: "I found a few good jobs and made quite a bit!"

Saying that, Little Wei Yuan took out a piece of immortal silver and exposed a small section. This piece of immortal silver looked like it was ten taels, and the shopkeeper's smile came up all of a sudden, and he was even more convinced in his heart: this guy is still a poor ghost after all.

Although sword cultivators are poor, their faces are thin. So the shopkeeper naturally wouldn't let Little Wei Yuan see what he was thinking, and flattered: "Then the matter between us..."

"Naturally, it continues! But I came back this time, actually under the order of a certain adult, wanting to do a business with you!"

"Please speak, Immortal!"

"That adult wants all the intelligence of the Xu family in the vicinity, especially the intelligence of the merchant caravans coming and going."

The shopkeeper was greatly shocked and hurriedly said: "The rules of our line are that we must never touch the affairs of noble families! This is absolutely not allowed, it will cost heads!"

Little Wei Yuan sneered: "If you don't take this order, it will cost your head even more!"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Immortal, don't joke, I don't have the guts to interfere in the affairs of noble families! We people can only bully ordinary people, if we really meet someone with a big background, whether it is a noble family, an Immortal sect, horse bandits, or the government, which one can't pinch us to death casually?"

"Is there a government here?"

The shopkeeper pointed up: "Isn't the Xu family the government? The clear government is gone, but the Xu family is still there."

Little Wei Yuan sneered, and took out something and shook it in front of the shopkeeper, saying: "You still know there is a Xu family in your heart! Look at what this is?"

The shopkeeper had sharp eyes, and had already seen the object in front of him at a glance, and was suddenly greatly shocked, hurriedly invited Little Wei Yuan to the backyard, found a small courtyard that no one lived in, closed the courtyard door carefully, and then said: "Is the Immortal working for the Xu family now?"

Little Wei Yuan stared: "Otherwise? Is that token fake?"

The shopkeeper asked cautiously: "Then I don't know why the adult is collecting this intelligence?"

Little Wei Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said coldly: "Knowing so much, what do you want to do?"

The shopkeeper flattered: "I also have some connections and old friends, and there are some brothers in the wild who are waiting to eat and drink. Everyone does everything on weekdays. But in these chaotic times, I heard that several big battles have been fought at the border, and the Shaman tribe is constantly catching people in secret here, and the brothers are almost unable to live. Since the Immortal is under the order of the Xu family and is investigating the Xu family's intelligence, I don't know if you are short of followers?"

Little Wei Yuan's heart moved, and he said coldly: "How many people do you have? This seat doesn't want burdens!"

The shopkeeper patted his chest and said: "A dozen or so, all are Dao Foundations of many years, and the work under their hands is very good!"

Little Wei Yuan pondered for a long time, and then reluctantly said: "Call the ten most capable ones over, our first business is to rob the Xu family's merchant caravan."

The shopkeeper continued to ask: "There are many Xu family merchant caravans, I don't know which one to rob?"

Little Wei Yuan slapped the table: "Of course it's the fattest one!"

The shopkeeper was startled: "Could it be..."

"It's the one sending tribute to the pass!" Little Wei Yuan didn't hide it at all.

The shopkeeper was not calm, both fearful and expectant, and asked: "May I ask one more question, since that adult is also a person of the Xu family, then why do this?"

"Some people are old and useless, but they always rely on their positions and don't leave. Understand?"

The shopkeeper understood. He had some guesses about the identity of that adult. At this moment, his view of Little Wei Yuan improved slightly, feeling that this guy was rough but fine, and perhaps he could accomplish things. Little Wei Yuan stayed in the inn for half a day, and the shopkeeper quietly entered the small courtyard and handed over a piece of paper, which stated the Xu family's merchant caravan's coming and going plan for the next few days. Seeing this intelligence, Little Wei Yuan knew that it seemed that there were many eyes of the shopkeeper in those big houses of the Xu family.

Little Wei Yuan collected the intelligence, put ten taels of immortal silver on the table, and then said: "Let your brothers stand by, I will go back to report now. Oh, by the way, are there any new storybooks, give me a few, a friend of mine wants to see them."

The shopkeeper immediately picked up all the storybooks in the book box and whispered: "These few are all new works, and two of them are quite novel!"

Little Wei Yuan calmly put the storybooks into his arms.

After Little Wei Yuan left, the shopkeeper walked out of the small courtyard slowly. A waiter flashed out from the shadow next to him and said: "Shopkeeper, won't this be a scam?"

The shopkeeper pinched his thin beard, squinted his eyes and said: "No matter if it's a scam or not, we are going to do this vote anyway, just let them lead the charge and test the Xu family's quality first."

Inside the domain, Xu Jingfeng walked out of the bathtub and operated his Dao power to evaporate the water on his body. Since these days, he was able to move his Dao power for the first time, and also washed himself clean for the first time.

He breathed a sigh of relief comfortably, reached out and drew in the air, and a round mirror made of Dao power appeared in front of him. The person in the mirror, although haggard, vaguely restored a bit of the demeanor of the jade-faced immortal sword of the past.

Xu Jingfeng picked up a brand-new robe and put it on, but the friction of the clothes made his crotch and body sting, making him frown.

At this time, the door opened, and Little Wei Yuan walked in.

Xu Jingfeng, who had originally recovered his appearance as a dashing young master, instantly sprang to the corner of the room and curled up.

!.

Little Wei Yuan smiled, put a letter on the table, and said: "Originally I wanted one thousand, but your father only wanted to pay five hundred taels, and finally it was seven hundred."

Xu Jingfeng stood up slowly and said: "Father is afraid that if he gives too much, there will be twists and turns."

Little Wei Yuan said: "You are not too stupid. Oh, there is one more thing, I originally thought there would be an attack on the way back, but there wasn't. It seems you have no other choice."

"Did someone not want me to go back?" Xu Jingfeng asked tentatively.

"If that's really the case, it's a good thing for you. It's about time, let's go."

A moment later, Xu Jingfeng and a team of cultivators flew out of the domain and came to a barren hill five hundred miles away. A team of people had been waiting here for a long time, and the two sides handed over money and people, without any waves.

Until Xu Jingfeng walked into the Xu family mansion in Quliu Town, he was still as if in a dream, not daring to believe that he had really come back.

After returning home, Xu Zhiyuan immediately called Xu Jingfeng to ask about his experience during this period in detail, but Xu Jingfeng couldn't say anything, he had been locked in the prison from the first day until now.

Xu Zhiyuan then examined the wounds on his body, and his expression changed when he saw that the wounds were concentrated on the lower body. Fortunately, seeing that the foundation was not damaged and he could still pass on the family line, his complexion improved, and he ordered Xu Jingfeng to find Master Mu Shang later to see if the other party had left any dark hands on him.

After explaining, he let him go to rest.

Xu Jingfeng returned to his courtyard, where everything looked the same, and two beloved maids were whispering in the room.

Finally back...

Returning to his old place, Xu Jingfeng resumed his old habits, rushed into the room excitedly, hugged the two women, and reached in, feeling plump, and laughed: "This young master hasn't been here for these days, why did it get bigger instead?"

The two maids screamed, and when they turned to see it was Xu Jingfeng, their bodies were actually a bit stiff, and their expressions were not very natural.

Xu Jingfeng immediately noticed the abnormality, and his movements slowed down. The two women hurriedly changed into charming smiles to please him, but Xu Jingfeng looked at the two women, his eyes swept through the room one by one, and the more he looked, the more gloomy his face became.
