The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 289

At the same time that Zhu Ziming was winning over Elder Fei, Yang Lu and Li Qingning also returned to Haiya City together.

Before Yang Lu joined, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, as an external force that entered Haiya City to grab the cake, could be said to be in trouble at home and abroad, with enemies on all sides. hostility.

However, the current situation of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can be described as like a fish in water.

In the headquarters of Haiya City, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has become the closest ally of the Haiya faction. Whether it is the Han family who controls the city lord's mansion, or the Su family who controls the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and Haiya Bank, they all give the green light to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.Whenever the Qingning Chamber of Commerce encounters any problems, as long as they report to the Haiya City Lord's Mansion, the priority of acceptance is no less than that of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce.As the monopoly client of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce even granted the Qingning Chamber of Commerce the super VIP treatment of clearing money and goods.

In Tianshu City next door, both Chen Ming, the head of the Mountain Eagle School, and Fang Jiancai, the deacon of the Gongde Hall, are friendly to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and Chen Ming even awarded Yang Lu the badge of the Shanying School's Guest Secretary.

For the major chambers of commerce that do business in Tianshu City, the most troublesome thing in Tianshu City is nothing more than the strict city management regulations formulated by the Shanying faction. , can be easily exempted from the constraints of most urban management regulations and enjoy super-national treatment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference, Su Yuanfeng introduced Elder Murong of Luoxia Sect, the overlord of Luoxia City, and Elder Du of Guyun Sect, the overlord of Luanshi City, for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Trade, the two important sources of revenue for the chamber of commerce, has the protection of the local cultivation forces, and it is much easier to conduct business than in the past.

Considering that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has completely withdrawn from Haiya City, and the Wuliangjian Paidu Branch also intends to replace the special trade representative Lu Anping, and is planning to send other deacons of the outer sect in the foundation period to continue the cooperation with the Haiya Department in ocean trade and tariffs, In addition, Xu Yannan, a monetary policy observer at the Lingshi Reserve Bank, is also Yang Lu's official master.Overnight, the major forces in the entire southeastern region of Zhongzhou seemed to have become political allies of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, even though their relationship with each other was still in dire straits...

After the external difficulties were resolved, Yang Lu also promoted drastic reforms within the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, established a relatively complete internal management system, and relied on the two factions of Ji Sihan and He Mingyuan to check and balance each other, which greatly improved the operating efficiency of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. The state of barely balanced profit and loss has raised the ROA (return on total assets) of the chamber of commerce to more than 4%, which has far exceeded the average level of normal cultivation chambers of commerce, and is even expected to increase the annual profit of the Qingning chamber of commerce to the million level.

When things were on the right track, Yang Lu had fewer things to do.

In his spare time, he originally wanted to play chess and chat with Li Qingning, but he didn't expect Li Qingning's enthusiasm for cultivation became even stronger after the night talk in Sunset Cloud City, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

The eldest lady is willing to work hard, which must be a great thing.

Not only would Yang Lu not suppress her enthusiasm for struggle, but when he was free, he would move a chair by himself and watch Li Qingning perform all kinds of gimmicky killing moves from the Seven Schools of Kyushu.

Of course, whether the killing moves of the seven factions are powerful or not, Yang Lu, who was born in a wild way, must not be able to see any way. .

Not to mention that Li Qingning's figure had to keep turning and moving when practicing ultimate magic moves. This kind of large-scale body movement can even highlight her bulging body curve, so that Yang Lu will not get bored no matter how he looks at it.

As for why Yang Lu himself doesn't practice...

This is mainly because he only has the third level of Qi Refining, and it is useless to practice ordinary immortal skills. As for meditation and chanting, it can be arranged in a dream, so he can only squat beside him obediently, admiring his beauties Missy has practiced martial arts.

While Zhu Ziming was having a secret meeting with Elder Fei Fan of the Shanying School, Yang Lu also practiced exercises with Li Qingning in the backyard as usual.

As a result, the eldest lady just took up her stance and was about to practice a wind-defying ultimate move called [Yunwaitianguang], when a flying sword flashing with earth-attribute aura suddenly appeared in the distant sky, roaring towards the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Direction rushed.

Li Qingning was about to cast a spell to intercept it, when Yang Lu stopped him and said, "Miss, wait a minute, this is my express delivery!"

express delivery?
While speaking, the yellow-brown flying sword was already approaching the backyard of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and its speed also decreased significantly.

Seeing this scene, Li Qingning couldn't help but wondered: "Feijian passing the letter? Who is this sending you things from thousands of miles away?"

Yang Lu raised his hand, and the flying sword landed firmly on his hand.

Carefully took out a package from Feijian, Yang Lu unpacked it and explained: "This is Fei Fan's natal Feijian, the law enforcement elder of the Mountain Eagle Sect! I made a deal with Elder Fei yesterday through a message spell, and this is A gift from Elder Fei."

Mountain Eagle Sect Elder Fei Fan?
Li Qingning thought for a moment with his sharp chin, and still he was a little puzzled: "Isn't this person Chen Ming's deputy? At the Sword Discussion Conference two days ago, Chen Ming also said that Elder Fei is a waste. He has already dismissed all his administrative duties. I remember you followed Chen Ming and scolded him...Why are you doing business with him again now?"

Yang Lu stared at Li Qingning's beautiful eyes and said seriously: "During the beast disaster in Tianshu City, Elder Fei and I left spell marks on each other for communication. On the night of the finals of the Sword Discussion Conference, didn't you ask me what I was going to do?" Protecting you outside the territory? This package sent by Elder Fei is the means I use to protect you!"

Li Qingning was a little embarrassed by Yang Lu's look, and blushed slightly, "You also know that I am impatient, so don't play tricks on me here. What is in Elder Fei's package?"

Yang Lu carefully opened the package, revealing the contents of the package——

This is an exquisite and small crystal bottle, with a faint flash of light on the surface, it looks quite extraordinary, and inside the crystal bottle, there is a caterpillar that looks like a silkworm baby, with crystal clear flesh and blood, it seems to be a demon insect.

Yang Lu gently placed the crystal bottle in front of Li Qingning, and explained to Li Qingning, who was like a curious baby: "This insect is called Sharing Wealth and Suffering Gu, and it is a rare Gu insect cultivated by the Wanhua Valley in Nanman Prefecture. They appear in groups. When a cultivator enters the realm of introducing qi into the body, if this insect invades the body, it will parasitize in the dantian of the cultivator, and the sea of ​​​​qi cannot be taken out at all. It usually does not cause any harm to the cultivator, but if When another worm that is paired with this worm gets hurt, the worm will go berserk in the body of the cultivator, causing the internal energy of the cultivator it parasitizes to become disordered, and the symptoms it exhibits are as terrifying as madness... "

This sharing of joys and sorrows Gu worm is very similar to the means used by some evil monks to control the dead soldiers under their command, because this control method is very cruel, and the merits of heaven will definitely be deducted when used.

Li Qingning was just about to say why Elder Fei Fan had such a wicked thing in his hands, but recalling what Yang Lu said that night, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, pointing to the crystal bottle in front of her, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Could it be that...another sharing weal and woe Gu worm that is paired with this worm has already been implanted into that guy named Ye Chen?"
