Chapter 948: Businessman's Face
Bianhai County is close to the coast, with water and land access, and commerce is prosperous.
The Xu family of Immortal Dao is one of the strongest forces near this sea area. It has been withered for hundreds of years and has three immortal masters in the family.
At this time, Xu Gongmao was refining pills in the elixir room of the inner courtyard. The raging spirit fire shone on him, revealing a burning breath.
It has to be said that as the current head of the Xu family, Xu Gongmao does have some skills. Not only is he a master in the realm of life, but his alchemy skills are also among the middle grades. Therefore, in recent years, the Xu family has experienced changes, and not only has not declined, but has a feeling of prosperity.
After several times of swallowing and spitting out the spirit fire, Xu Gongmao slowly stopped his work and slowly absorbed the alchemy energy with low fire.
At this time, the signal in the Dan Room fluctuated and someone outside asked for a visit.
...
In the inner courtyard, a young man in blue came hurriedly. This person was Xu Jinhang, the young master of the Xu family.
"Children pay homage to my father."
When Xu Jinhang saw his father come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and did not dare to cross the line at all.
Xu Gongmao waved his hand and asked lightly: "How about it, has there been no news from Feiyu Pirate? "
"There is still no news... Isn't my father neglected it, right?"
Xu Jinhang couldn't help but worry. He was not at all relieved of the group of pirates, let alone trust him.
Xu Gongmao glanced at the other party and said slowly: "How many times have I said, be calm when encountering things, and the mountains collapse in front of you without changing your face! Flying fish thieves are just a group of mobs. It's okay to scare vendors. If we don't have the support of our Xu family, there will be no place for them to stay here. If they have ten courage, they will not dare to fool the Xu family."
"What my father said is that the child is not calm enough and is still a little impatient."
Xu Jinhang hurriedly admitted his mistakes, feeling nervous.
Speaking of which, Xu Jinhang was born in a sidelines and became successful overnight, and he was inevitably a little inflamed, so he was determined to win the quota of the ancient secret realm, so he was naturally a little anxious.
Xu Gongmao said disapprovingly: "Wait a little longer, maybe good news will be sent back in two days... By the way, what's the situation with Xu Bocheng?"
When Xu Jinhang heard his father ask, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father, that old guy's life is still hanging, and he will never die in a while."
Xu Gongmao nodded slightly and said, "Xu Bocheng still has to live. At least he cannot die before the Holy Land comes, otherwise the Holy Land messenger will be held accountable and we will not be able to explain."
When the demon invaded, Xu Bocheng was seriously injured, but he made great contributions. Therefore, he was famous in the ancient holy land of Heaven. If Xu Bocheng died of a bad life, if the holy land suddenly asked about this, the Xu family would definitely not be able to escape.
In fact, after Xu Bocheng was injured, the evil poison eroded. The holy land gave spiritual medicine at that time, but it was unable to completely remove the evil poison, and could only alleviate the spread of the poison. However, Xu Gongmao did some tricks in secret, which made Xu Bocheng's injuries worse and worse, and he kept dragging it like this.
Xu Gongmao made such a trick just to one day the holy land could be grateful for his efforts due to Xu Bocheng's hard work, and then give the Xu family some time.
This is not even the surplus value after Xu Bocheng's death!
"Not good! Nothing good!"
Amid the shouts, a teenager with greasy head and flour broke into the inner courtyard. He was Xu An, the young manager mentioned by the Xu brothers and sisters.
To be honest, Xu An's family was all Xu Gongmao's confidant slaves for three generations. Therefore, after Xu Gongmao became powerful, he naturally appointed people as nepotism and promoted his confidant.
Xu An did not disappoint Xu Gongmao. Although he was slick and had good luck in both sides, he managed the inside and outside of the Xu Mansion in an orderly manner... There were very few panic situations like today.
"Noisy, what a moral thing!"
Before Xu Gongmao could speak, Xu Jinhang had already scolded him.
Xu An didn't care about being scolded at this time and quickly reported: "The head of the family, young master, Xu Le and Xu Yao's two little things have returned and just arrived at the river bank..."
"What did you say!?"
Xu Jinhang's expression changed drastically, he was anxious and angry, and almost kicked Xu An.
Xu Gongmao was stunned and came back to his senses, his brows furrowed: "Does the flying fish thief really dare to fool the Xu family!"
Xu Jinhang said anxiously: "Father, what should we do now? Did the flying fish thief fail? Or did Xu Le and Xu Yao and the others really get what opportunity?"
"Why are you panic? Come back when you come back. Could it be that we are still afraid of them?"
Xu Gongmao yelled a few words in a low voice, and then said, "Since it's not as dark as possible, then you can only come to the light... You should notify Shang Yueheng immediately and let him deal with this matter."
"Boss Shang? What can that old fox do?"
"If you want to go, you will understand if you go."
Xu Gongmao urged him impatiently, and his mood was also a little uneasy.
...
The western district of Bianhai County is also called the "slump area".
The environment here is very dirty and messy, usually inhabited by poor people, and there are all kinds of religions who seek life.
It is hard to imagine that such a prosperous trade in Bianhai County would have such an area, and the head of the Xu family, who was once the Xiandao, actually lived here.
"Brother Zhuo, my house is ahead, it's dirty and messy, don't mind."
The Xu brothers and sisters led the way, and Zhuo Yunxian followed slowly.
There was a pungent and unpleasant smell around him, and many people looked at Zhuo Yunxian with strange eyes. After all, Zhuo Yunxian had a transcendent temperament and was obviously not an ordinary person.
You should know that in this slum area, there are few noble people who are willing to condescend to come here.
Not long after the three of them left, they arrived at a used thatched cottage. They were covered with weeds and isolated with black veil. It seemed that no one had taken care of them for a long time.
Zhuo Yunxian frowned slightly: "The Xu family arranged you here?"
Xu Yao's eyes turned red and she nodded silently.
Xu Le explained in a muffled voice: "My father was infected with evil poison. The doctors said that evil poison might be contagious, so the Xu family isolated us in this area and did not allow his father to leave."
While talking, Xu Le pushed the door open and saw a short and fat figure appearing in front of him.
"Xiaole, are you back?"
The short and fat man walked over with a smile, unconsciously ignoring Zhuo Yunxian.
Xu Le couldn't help but be stunned: "Boss Shang, why are you here?"
Shang Yueheng did not answer, but instead said enthusiastically: "Xiaole, how did you get from going to sea this time? Have you found the rootless fruit?"
"No."
Xu Le subconsciously shook his head and was about to explain, but Shang Yueheng's face changed suddenly.
"Xu Le, you owe me the immortal stone, should you calculate it?"
"What...what!?"
Before Xu Le could react, Shang Yueheng was polite: "Your father has been alive over the years and has used a lot of medicines in our Changshengtang. Although I sympathize with your experience, I am the boss of Changshengtang after all, and the accounts that should be settled must be settled clearly."
