The Fourth Financial Crisis

With doubts in mind, Yang Lu immediately asked: "May I ask Master Chen, what is the legend of this star city?"

Chen Ming replied simply: "Not many people know about this, but it is not a secret. It is said that in the center of the wilderness, there is an abandoned city called Xingdu. There are powerful people outside this city. Even the monks at the Nascent Soul stage cannot break through the spell barrier protection. Despite this, there are still cultivators who have picked up the debris from the Star Capital in other places in the wilderness."

"Are these wreckage fragments of the ancient heaven?"

Chen Ming gave an affirmative answer: "Although the shapes of these wreckage are different, the standard styles are surprisingly consistent. They are different from the creation styles of the Kyushu Cultivation World, the Demon World, and the Wilderness Realm. On the contrary, they are very similar to the Mountain Eagle Sword. Similar. In response to this discovery, Wuliang Sword Sect specially borrowed my sect's Mountain Eagle Sword for comparison. At that time, I was an orphan adopted by Wu Ming, the former head of the Mountain Eagle Sect, and had just entered the Qi refining period. According to Wuliang Sword Sect, The Sword Sect’s historical experts have concluded that this abandoned city in the Wilderness Territory, Star Capital, is probably the largest relic of the ancient Heavenly Court left outside, but it was just bombarded to the distant Wilderness Territory by the aftermath of the war between immortals and demons.”

Having said this, Chen Ming raised his hand to call back the Mountain Eagle Sword, and then changed the topic: "Okay, that's it for the digression. You have already admired the Baoshan Eagle Sword I sent, should we also talk about it? Is it serious?"

Yang Lu also put away his thoughts and said solemnly: "Headmaster Chen, I just say it's okay!"

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes and said: "We, the Mountain Eagle Faction, did not receive any news about the rebellion in Tianshu City. How did you learn about it in advance? Who was planning this operation behind the scenes?"

Yang Lu had long known that he had this question and had prepared his words in advance. However, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked: "Didn't Miss Qingning explain this matter herself?"

Fang Jiancai, who had been silent just now, took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Miss Qingning said that this matter involves the secrets of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and Consultant Yang is solely responsible for it. Let us come to you directly to inquire about the situation. As a An important partner of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, we should not pry into the secrets of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, but this matter is very important to me, to Head Chen, and even to me, Elder Cheng Shuying, so we need a clear answer!"

Li Qingning's words were all personally guided by Yang Lu, and he only said this when he knew what he was going to do. But on the surface, he still pretended to be hesitant.

Seeing that Yang Lu seemed to be having trouble making up his mind, Chen Ming also made a condition: "Deacon Fang and I have been friends for many years. Miss Qingning is a friend of Deacon Fang, and naturally she is also a friend of Chen Ming. Our Mountain Eagle Faction has no intention of offending Qing Ning. The Chamber of Commerce is just a matter of great importance. We must know the truth no matter what. If the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is willing to tell the truth, I can guarantee it by virtue of my identity as the head of the Mountain Eagle Sect. Even if the Qingning Chamber of Commerce cannot gain a foothold in Haiya City, Tianshu City The door is always open to you!"

After hearing the conditions offered by the head of Chen Ming, Yang Lu knew that the main goal of this trip to Tianshu City had been secured.

Although the strength of the Mountain Eagle Faction is not as good as that of the Haiya Faction, it is still the overlord of one party and can be regarded as the best among the third-rate forces in Zhongzhou. For the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, if it can get the support of such a regional overlord, it will not only be more powerful, but at least it will be more powerful. A way out.

It's just that everyone is very realistic. Just like Su Yuanfeng will never easily form an alliance with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce because of the favor of saving his life, and the Mountain Eagle Faction will not fully support Li Qingning just because the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has done them a big favor.

Regardless of the fact that Li Qingning and Fang Jiancai seemed to have a good relationship, it was all for the sake of President Li Qingyang.

Even if Li Qingyang is still alive, Fang Jiancai dares to instigate the Far East Chamber of Commerce to assassinate the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. If Li Qingyang passes away, the boat of their friendship may be overturned. Yang Lu never expected Fang Jian to be a person who values ​​love and righteousness. generation.

He knew very well in his heart that Chen Ming and Fang Jian were so polite to him now, not because they were grateful to him, but because they wanted something from him.

They urgently need to know who planned the actions in Tianshu City!

The beast tide in Tianshu City is definitely a blatant provocation to the Shanying Sect and Gongde Hall. If Cheng Shuying chooses to be mute and eat Coptis chinensis and just let the matter go, then the hearts of the entire Gongde Hall may be shattered.

For Cheng Shuying, losing jurisdiction over the cultivation social security system would at best mean cutting off a piece of his flesh, but if the local forces attached to Gongdetang were alienated, it would be a serious incident that would affect the foundation of the faction. This is why Chen Ming and Fang Jiancai didn't even have time to take charge of the aftermath, so they came to personally summon Yang Lu, a consultant from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Ming stated that the Mountain Eagles would support the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, which was completely different from Fang Jiancai's statement that he would support Li Qingning.

Fang Jiancai was just a subordinate of Cheng Shuying, not even a direct disciple of Cheng Shuying. He could not represent the Gongde Hall at all, but could only represent himself. Chen Ming was the leader of the Shanying Sect and could completely make the decision for the Shanying Sect.

Moreover, Chen Ming has already said it very explicitly, clearly mentioning that "even if the Qingning Chamber of Commerce cannot gain a foothold in Haiya City", the Mountain Eagle Faction will support the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. This is almost "if President Li Qingyang dies, we will also I won’t fall out.” He said it directly.

Yang Lu was quite satisfied that his information could be sold at such a good price.

He pretended to be difficult again, and then relented: "This matter is of great importance. As long as it is leaked, it will definitely cause a fatal blow to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. I have not even fully informed Miss Qingning of some core information." …”

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Li Qingning, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, to be unaware of such a major matter.

However, Fang Jiancai was very familiar with Li Qingning and knew that she was a person who couldn't hide things in her heart. If this matter was really arranged by President Li Qingyang, it would not be strange to hide it from Li Qingning.

Recalling that Secretary Wang Ziwei had also come forward to warn him, Fang Jiancai nodded and said: "Headmaster Chen and I will never let outsiders know what happened today."

Despite making a verbal promise, Fang Jiancai had no intention of swearing to Heaven.

After all, he still has to report to Cheng Shuying. With his status in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he is not qualified to ask Cheng Shuying, a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage, to swear an oath. Even if he wants Chen Ming to swear an oath, he is not qualified!

Chen Ming also knew that this kind of behavior was not very kind, and immediately added: "Consultant Yang, as long as you are willing to reveal the source of the information, I can outsource the Tianshu City outer city reconstruction project to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce as much as possible to show the hawks' loyalty. Qingning Chamber of Commerce’s support.”

Yang Lu knew that he was not qualified to continue to raise conditions, so he did not push further and directly sold the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce: "The beast tide in Tianshu City was caused by the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce's collusion with Wanhua Valley!"

"Liu Hanxing?!" After hearing the news, Chen Ming immediately jumped into the crime, "I knew that behind this matter was either Lu Anping or Liu Hanxing. These two people have long disliked our Mountain Eagle Sect! Consultant Yang, Do you have any evidence?"

Yang Lu shook his head and said: "I have no evidence, but the fact that I can discover this conspiracy is the biggest evidence. The undercover agent installed by our Qingning Chamber of Commerce in the Liujia Chamber of Commerce is codenamed Mr. He, and he is the closest person to Liu Hanxing. , it was through Mr. He’s intelligence channels that we intercepted Liu Hanxing’s specific deployment before the operation was launched.”

That's right, Yang Lu sold his vest directly!
