The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 284
After sending Su Yuanfeng away, Yang Lu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief: "This Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference, on the surface, looks like a group of Qi refining monks fighting each other without thinking, but the confrontation of interests behind it can be described as intricate. In the case of any force, to settle all troubles is like dancing on a tightrope!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help rubbing his temples.

Although the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was the biggest winner of the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference, Yang Lu had dealt with at least seven or eight sects of cultivation with different positions from the beginning to the end, including the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, the Mountain Eagle Sect, the Pan Corporation, and the Light Sword Sect. , Arctic Cold Palace, Li Feiyu, Ren Tianyuan...
It is definitely not an easy task to be caught between the endless routines of many comprehension forces.

Ever since Yang Lu straightened out the internal governance system of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and promoted two senior managers, Ji Sihan and He Mingyuan, it has been a long time since he has worked so hard.

However, before he finished speaking, he felt a scent of fragrance coming from his side. It turned out that at some point, Li Qingning sat directly on the chair next to him.

I saw Miss Li staring at him with big eyes that fluttered, and said softly: "Although you are not a contestant in this Zhongzhou Discussion of Swords Competition, you have worked harder than those of us who participated in the competition in person. Since you have After joining the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, I obviously feel that the originally difficult business affairs of the Chamber of Commerce have gradually become smooth... Anyway, thank you very much!"

Li Qingning is obviously not the kind of person who is good at expressing gratitude.

Speaking of the last thank you, Li Qingning's face turned slightly red.And suddenly hearing Li Qingning's words of thanks, Yang Lu was also stunned on the spot.

Is this what my eldest lady can say?

After a moment of daze, he blurted out: "Miss, have you been robbed? Where did you hide the real Li Qingning?"

Hearing this, Li Qingning's blood pressure rose immediately.

But in the end she just snorted softly and put on an expression of "you have done so many things, I won't care about you". Until then, Yang Lu's brain was already a little slow and Yang Lu realized that Li Qingning was really Thank myself.

After finally realizing Li Qingning's concern, Yang Lu quickly smiled and waved his hands and said, "This is what I should do! Today's Zhongzhou cultivation world seems to be calm, but there are already hidden worries behind it. Collect more chips before the crisis strikes, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in the future!"

However, Li Qingning didn't know whether he listened to Yang Lu's rhetoric or not.

Instead of continuing to discuss the future of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce with Yang Lu, she nodded slightly and said another matter in a serious tone: "Actually, you don't have to do so much for me...with your ability No matter which faction you go to, I am afraid that you will be very popular. Not only is my great-grandfather very optimistic about you, I see that Chen Ming, the head of the Shanying faction just now, also wants to recruit you to work for the Shanying faction. I guess Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe and the others should have offered you an olive branch too!"

Seeing Li Qingning casually pierce the window paper, Yang Lu was shocked and said: "Miss, did you see it?"

Although the matter Li Qingning mentioned is not a secret, and it is not surprising that it was guessed by outsiders, but the person who said that just now is Li Qingning!

The surprise in Yang Lu's heart at this time was no less than that of Tian Beixi who was called out by Li Qingning on the spot yesterday in the ring.

"I just don't like to use my brain, but I'm not a fool!" Li Qingning let out a chuckle, showing a very charming smile, "Although I don't see many things as clearly as you, but this kind of situation in front of me I can still understand the matter by using my brain a little bit. When I went to Tianshu City to do business, I never saw Chen Ming's face, but Fei Fan came forward and sent me away. Even willing to take the initiative to visit me, if I still don't see anything tricky, then it would be strange! To be honest...you don't think that I'm an idiot like Tian Beixi, right? "

Yang Lu already knew that his young lady was not stupid.

It's just that Li Qingning is usually a shopkeeper who doesn't bother to use his hands and thinks, and is obviously a bit high-handed, so sometimes Yang Lu would subconsciously feel that she is not very smart. At this time, Li Qingning suddenly pointed it out, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

So he immediately changed the subject and said: "So...you were acting with Chen Ming just now?"

However, Li Qingning's answer was once again beyond Yang Lu's expectations. She shook her head very firmly: "I am not acting with Chenming. What I just showed is completely my true thoughts. If you really don't want to help I manage the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and you can accept Chen Ming's invitation to go to the Mountain Eagle School. Since you are still working on the affairs of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, this is already a good example. How could I be worried about you? "

"Miss... Uh, in fact, job-hopping is not as easy as you think. Whether it is the Wuliang Sword Sect or other local forces, loyalty is always the first quality to be considered. It doesn't mean that I can leave if I want to. You have to know, if I had accepted Chen Ming's request carelessly just now, the other party would have suspected—"

Before Yang Lu finished speaking, Li Qingning interrupted directly: "But this won't bother you at all, will it?"

"This, miss..."

Even though Yang Lu was usually very eloquent, he couldn't help being a little tongue-tied at this moment.

In the end, it was Li Qingning who sighed quietly and said, "Actually, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has troubled you. If you didn't have these troubles on me, you wouldn't have worked so hard."

As the so-called natural dumb-bellied.

Not only Chen Ming, an old hermaphrodite, was squeezed out by Li Qingning, but even Yang Lu was warmed by Li Qingning's sudden gentle tone.

However, Li Qingning seems to have opened up the chatter box, and continued to ramble: "The Qingning Chamber of Commerce can get to where it is today, largely because of your efforts. My great-grandfather didn't even see me this time, probably because of him. His lifespan is really running out, maybe before the extraterritorial battlefield is opened, his lifespan will be completely exhausted. If there is something wrong with me in the extraterritorial battlefield, then the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can only hand it over to you... ..."

Yang Lu was quite moved at first, but after hearing it, he felt something was wrong, and he quickly stopped him and said, "Miss, what kind of flag are you messing with here? What do you mean by going wrong in an extraterritorial battlefield? A practice like yours With the existence of invincibility in the Qi period, what else can go wrong?"

Li Qingning's expression was obviously a bit tangled, but she finally made up her mind, and said slowly: "The outer battlefield is originally a place where cultivators avenge their grievances and revenge. I may have forgotten to tell you some things. I don’t know why my great-grandfather only has me, a junior who has the aptitude for cultivation..."

Feeling that the other party seemed to have something to say, Yang Lu couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?"

Li Qingning sighed softly, and explained patiently: "The third Lingshi financial crisis was extremely dangerous. Although the currency reform promoted by President Lu back then had accumulated immeasurable merits, countless practitioners still died because of the reform. According to my great-grandfather's It is said that most of these bankrupts are self-inflicted, not because of their own greed, or because they are not sure about their position, overestimate their ability, and try to get rich overnight through speculation, so they end up with nothing to lose. Otherwise, even if ordinary people suffer some losses, they will not go bankrupt. However, the nature of human beings is that no one will take the initiative to admit their problems. This account has been charged to President Lu and Grandpa..."

"President Lu is a majestic Ascension Immortal, do they still dare to publicly slander the Immortal?"

Li Qingning nodded, then shook his head and said, "What you said makes sense. They really dare not publicly slander Immortal Feisheng. My great-grandpa also said that because the people in power in the Kyushu cultivation world are all third-time spirit The vested interests during the financial crisis, so these avengers can't make any waves. However, this hatred has not disappeared. In the extraterritorial battlefield where the participants' cultivation base does not exceed the refining period, and there is no supervision and restraint, This hatred has ushered in a window to vent, President Lu has no direct descendants, but the other founders of Lingshi Reserve Bank are different..."

"Could it be that the other juniors of President Li died in the foreign battlefield?"

Li Qingning hummed lightly, and said helplessly: "Before me, our family had several seniors with spiritual root aptitude, but they all died on the battlefield outside the territory without exception. It is definitely not a coincidence. Although I The spiritual root qualifications are higher than those of the predecessors, and the strength is also stronger, but who can say the danger of the battlefield outside the territory?"

When Li Qingning said this, Yang Lu suddenly understood a lot of things.For example, why did Li Qingyang specially invite Tong Xingu, the Supreme Elder of the Zijin Pavilion, to create for Li Qingning a flashy Qi-refining-stage divine weapon Xunfeng? They will specially invite Cheng Hua, an elder of the Gui family, to teach Li Qingning the most defensive exercise in the Kyushu cultivation world, "The Secret Volume of Pure Heart".

Leaving aside other things for the time being, let’s talk about Li Qingning’s horse-cutting sword Xunfeng. As a transitional magic weapon used in the Qi refining stage, its price is no less than that of the top Golden Core stage magic weapon, and its quality is even higher than President Lu’s Qi refining stage saber. Heart of Coral, this can no longer be explained simply by doting.

Now it seems that President Li is just stacking up buffs for Li Qingning to enter the foreign battlefield!
It's no wonder that Li Qingning has been so anxious during this period of time. If he doesn't ask Butler Zhou to practice spells for [-] hours a day, he feels empty in his heart. Lu was dumbfounded.

Even if the extraterritorial battlefield is really dangerous, Miss Li's earnestness is too outrageous. I didn't expect that it was the extraterritorial battlefield that put too much pressure on Li Qingning, and she was almost stunned.

Moreover, Ms. Li, who has never liked to use her brain recently, even suddenly began to care about the people and things around her. Even the flaws in Tian Beixi's tone, and Chen Ming's little tricks to sow discord, were all seen by her. up.

If it were the old Miss Li who had a big nerve, she wouldn't have such a delicate mind.

Yang Lu once heard from relatives and friends who are doctors that some terminal cancer patients will suddenly show extraordinary enthusiasm for life or undergo personality changes after they learn that they are terminally ill. Looking at Li Qingning's performance now, this This statement is probably not fabricated out of thin air. For Miss Li, the crisis-ridden foreign battlefield is equivalent to a terminal illness...

Yang Lu was in a daze, but suddenly felt a soft touch on his shoulder.

It turned out that Li Qingning put his chin on his shoulder at some point, and muttered to himself: "If I really give you the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at that time, you can treat it well, after all, there are mine here too." Effort!"

Hearing that under the pressure of the foreign battlefield, it is rare for the eldest lady to show such an endearing look, how could Yang Lu not express his opinion at this time?
He immediately waved his hand fiercely and said: "If it really doesn't work, I will go with you to enter the battlefield outside the territory!"

However, even if it is a bold statement, it depends on who said it.

The heroic speech of Yang Lu, a third-level Qi-refining monk, almost amused the depressed Li Qingning.She couldn't help complaining coquettishly: "Junior Brother Yang, do you know what you're talking about? When the foreign battlefield opens, you can only cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining at most. Are you planning to die?"

How could Yang Lu make Li Qingning look down on him? He raised his eyebrows and said, "But how did I hear that when President Lu participated in the outer battlefield trials, he also only had a mere fourth level of Qi Refining?"

"That's true, but—"

"Then it's over!" Yang Lu quickly flashed the information he had on the extraterritorial battlefield in his mind, and analyzed without the slightest pause: "Since President Lu dares to bravely venture into the extraterritorial battlefield with the fourth level of Qi Refining, it means that the extraterritorial battlefield is a test Lian is similar to the Zhongzhou Discussion of Swords Conference, it doesn't depend on big fists to win!"

Although Li Qingning has now blindly worshiped Yang Lu's abilities, Yang Lu's heroic speech compared to President Lu still made her feel a little outrageous.

She ruthlessly complained on the spot: "If a monk at the fourth level of Qi refining is put on the battlefield outside the territory, it will be equivalent to the merit of walking. If I have to distract you to protect you, it will be harming me instead!"

Yang Lu subconsciously touched Li Qingning's head, and comforted him, "Don't worry! Just like the Zhongzhou Discussion of Swords Conference, no matter what you do, off-site work is more important than on-site work, even if I don't personally go to the outside battlefield , and will use my own method to find a way for you."

Li Qingning was completely unaware of Yang Lu's intimacy, but asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, Ye Chen is a very useful hot-blooded tool guy, and I think he is quite suitable to be a bodyguard!"

"Ye Chen? Why did he protect me specifically? Your Shanying faction's Keqing token is useless in foreign battlefields!"

"There are always more solutions than difficulties!"

Being comforted by Wen Yan, Li Qingning felt an inexplicable sense of security for some reason: "Okay, then I'll see how you plan to protect me..."
