From the gate of heaven

Chapter 149 [The strongest is no worries]

After walking out of the underground vault, no one was watching her anymore, and the arrogant Ji Qingyan could no longer maintain her expression.

Her straight back slumped, and her cold and proud face was full of embarrassment. She had to lean against the wall because her legs were weak, and she didn't care whether her moon-white palace dress would be stained by dust.

Anyway, it was already stained before.

Recalling what she had done not long ago, Ji Qingyan felt her ears burning.

She had never thought before that she could actually do something so bold and even contemptuous of herself.

But at that moment, being alone with Lin Ze in the narrow underground, smelling his breath, her suppressed emotions suddenly burst out, taking over her reason, and she just wanted to get the man next to her.

Now that she has calmed down, Ji Qingyan does not regret her decision.

"Since cultivation is about cultivating the mind, only when the thoughts are clear, if you keep suppressing your emotions, sooner or later your mind will be distorted and you will become obsessed."

Realizing that she had begun to grow rapidly, Ji Qingyan's mood completely calmed down.
-
The next day, Lin Ze met Ji Qingyan again, still in the underground bank.

But compared to yesterday when the two of them were alone, now there are people coming and going.

There were Zhiyuan Gold Bank clerks under Lin Ze who were counting the copper coins with coin counters, and there were also people under Ji Qingyan who sealed the counted copper coins and sent them out of the underground bank through Fengping County, which had been under curfew, to the dock. Big ship at the dock.

The coin counter is a kind of card slot. Fill the card slot with copper coins, which is exactly one hundred pennies, so the whole counting process goes very quickly.

At this time, Ji Qingyan smiled and greeted: "Ziyi, the quality of your copper coins is very good. I think the emperor will definitely agree to what you discussed with me last time."

What is mentioned here is that Lin Ze used copper coins to purchase gold and silver from the Zhou royal family in large quantities.

If Lin Ze always provides such high-quality copper coins, it will indeed be beneficial to the Zhou royal family, and it can save a lot of coinage every year.

This kind of relationship is no different from before. The two of them are the best business partners, and there is no personal relationship at all.

Lin Ze looked at Ji Qingyan, who was dressed in a white palace dress and looked as cool and dignified as a moon palace fairy. He couldn't compare her with the passionate and proactive woman last night, as if what happened yesterday was a dream.

Then he said: "Your Highness, I will leave it to my subordinates to take care of things here. I have a new snack at my house. How about we try it together?"

Ji Qingyan nodded in agreement naturally.

So, in the large guest bedroom, the two of them ate snacks, and naturally entered into a state of understanding and knowing each other.

In the next few days, the transportation of copper coins continued.

Ji Qingyan still has the attitude of a partner. The things she usually discusses are about the railway company and the cement factory. But as long as Lin Ze invites her to be alone, she will not refuse, but she never talks about the two. Human relationship issues.

They will neither interfere in each other's life and career because they have a closer relationship, nor will they make any excessive demands.

She is a princess and is destined not to be a concubine.

If he wanted to get married to Lin Ze, who was already married, he had to return to being single first.

Asking Lin Ze to divorce his wife and marry her, turning the original wives and concubines into concubines with no status, she was not sure that Lin Ze would agree.

But she didn't want to maintain the lukewarm partnership with Lin Ze, which would be like this now.

Lin Ze gradually understood Ji Qingyan's thoughts, so getting along with her became more natural. He would only talk to her about business matters in front of people during the day, and would only appreciate her in private when no one was around. A touching gesture to outsiders.

Such relationships are not common in the Zhou Dynasty, but there are many in the main world.

If you could use one word to accurately describe the relationship between the two.

That is, fellow Taoist!
-
On April 4, Lin Ze bid farewell to Ji Qingyan at the dock.

Compared with before, Ji Qingyan has an even colder temperament at this moment. This is a further manifestation of her spiritual conception and Guanghan Sword Intent cultivation.

In recent days, she has slain all the inner demons that she couldn't ask for.

"Come to Fufeng County more often when you have time, and you'd better pay more attention to your career."

Before leaving, Ji Qingyan said calmly.

I automatically translated this sentence into: "If you have nothing to do, come to Fufeng County to see me."

Lin Ze smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I will."

After a pause, he added: "If your highness has time, you can come to Fengping County. This place has been developing very fast in recent times. Many talents and wealth have flowed here. Some new business opportunities and industries may be discovered. Then we will It will benefit a lot.”

Hearing this, Ji Qingyan nodded with satisfaction. With this reason, it would not be awkward for her to come to Fengping County next time.

So, he turned around and boarded the boat to leave.

Lin Ze watched the ship go away. Just as he turned back to his study, he saw several familiar figures appearing beside him.

It was Yue Sheng, the celestial master of Changsheng Palace, and his three peerless masters Ning Heng, Lu Lu, and Jiang Wen.

"I've seen the Great Elder, please sit down."

Lin Ze smiled and held his hands in greeting, inviting Yue Sheng to sit down.

As for the other three, they nodded as a greeting.

Lin Ze was not surprised by their arrival. If he guessed correctly, these people also came to withdraw money. After all, Lin Ze had previously promised to give them 100 billion money, which is 1000 million taels of silver, as a way to obtain the longevity palace for himself. The price of law.

Calculating the time, these guys should be almost ready, and then come and get the money.

But it is a pity that Lin Ze does not have 100 billion money in hand.

Now, about 20 days have passed since Lin Ze agreed to lend money to Ji Qingyan. With the copper coin factory in the main world at full capacity, only 24 billion copper coins have been minted so far.

The remaining part could be given to the Eternal Life Palace in silver, but Lin Ze didn't want to give it.

After all, the turtle grandson of the Eternal Life Palace was playing tricks on him, trying to control him even after giving him a way to extend his life.

He didn't fall out on the spot, all because of the treasures of heaven and earth and the secret technique of breath-taking given by Changsheng Palace.

"I ask Ziyi for your forgiveness for coming here rashly."

Yue Sheng, however, did not get down to business directly, but apologized first.

After all, according to normal etiquette, they need to inform before coming in. Now they are uninvited guests who just barged in.

But their identities need to be kept secret, at least they can't have too much contact with Lin Ze openly, that's all.

"It doesn't matter. Next time we meet, we can use the name of Sanyang Sword Sect and write a letter to arrange to meet in a secret place."

"After all, you can be considered my partners from now on. It's normal for us to interact with each other. You don't have to stick to your secret identity," Lin Ze said.

At this time, Yue Sheng said: "Ziyi, why haven't you used the immortality seed yet? This immortality seed will expire in half a month."

Lin Ze's tone was calm: "I'm still young and don't need to extend my life for the time being."

Hearing this, Yue Sheng frowned slightly, and was about to persuade him by saying that after using the seeds of immortality, the essence would become stronger and help his cultivation.

But looking at Lin Ze's dull expression, he couldn't say anything.

Thinking back to what Lin Ze said just now, you are my partners, not that we are an organization, and it suddenly became clear to me that Lin Ze had discovered the problem of immortality seeds, so he was unwilling to use this thing, causing himself to be abused by others. Take control.

Therefore, Yue Sheng stopped trying to persuade him, and he would fall out if he tried again.

What good would it do them to fall out?
Offending a celestial-level combat power and pushing them completely towards the Zhou royal family, Lin Ze would not be able to get the benefits promised to them, and the heavenly materials, earthly treasures and secret techniques previously invested would also be in vain.

After all, Lin Ze himself is a real master, and there is nothing they can do against him.

Besides, Lin Ze is unwilling to use it now. Will he still be unwilling to use it when his life span is about to expire in one or two hundred years?
The rest of your life is still long, don’t rush to fight for the gains and losses of this moment.

For the time being, let's just pretend that they spent more than a million worth of natural materials, earthly treasures and secret techniques to make friends with Lin Ze, got tens of billions of money from him, and became a partner.

Thinking of this, Yue Sheng stopped dwelling on this topic and said with a smile: "Ziyi, I came here this time to exchange the money you promised to the organization. In addition, I also need to discuss some details of opening a restaurant with you. .”

Seeing Yue Sheng's interest, Lin Ze said: "You have also seen that I have just provided a large amount of money to the Zhou royal family. The reserves are currently insufficient and only 25 billion is left. If you are willing to wait, you can wait for another three months. I mobilize the money.”

"If you can't wait, then withdraw the 25 billion money first."

The strategy of transporting money under curfew can be hidden from most people, but it cannot be hidden from these high and low existences.

But Ji Qingyan is surrounded by many expert guards. She is on the transport ship at the moment, and her power is very concentrated. Unlike the previous days when she had to protect many areas while transporting money, she is not afraid of being snatched by a few experts.

Yue Sheng smiled and said: "Then let's withdraw the 25 billion first. It just so happens that the organization will need a lot of start-up funds to open restaurants and medicine shops."

Lin Ze nodded, picked up a scroll on the desk, handed it to Ning Heng beside him, and said: "This is the operating idea and recipes for opening a hotel. I will send someone to give you the secret seasoning later. When the time comes, You just implement it according to this plan.”

"The first hotel will be opened in Fengping County. When you complete the preparations and I pass the inspection, it can be officially opened. At the same time, the successful experience will be copied to all parts of the country."

This plan was made for him by Shi Hongxue, president of the Delicious Lin Catering Group in Lin Zerang's world, in the name of summarizing the group's successful experience.

The next step is to let these people in World 2 reproduce the restaurant based on the advanced catering experience in World 1.

On the other hand, World No. 2 does not respect human rights that much, and may be able to do a better job in terms of service attitude.
-
The discussion ends here.

After making some preparations, Lin Ze's subordinates and people who nominally belonged to the Pingding Escort Bureau began to hand over the money and delivered the 25 billion promised by Lin Ze.

After a few days, everything was done.

Yue Sheng and his party left Fengping County and began to return.

Above the river, the large cargo ship belonging to the Changsheng Palace was moving forward. Yue Sheng and others sat in a more comfortable passenger ship and followed closely behind the cargo ship to protect the money.

Yue Sheng realized the wonderful state of harmony between man and nature, and the water waves under the boat automatically flowed, pushing the boat forward.

In the quiet cabin, Jiang Wen spoke through voice transmission: "Chief, this Lin Ze has no immortality seeds. He is not one of our own, so we cannot easily control him. Now that we have obtained the benefits, why don't we deal with him?"

They seemed to be respectful to Lin Ze before, but in fact they hid this key and fatal information and did not tell Lin Ze.

On the side, Lu Lu nodded and joined the chat channel:
"Yes, yes, his wives and concubines are all in Fengping County. We can just send a peerless master who is about to die. I remember that my grandfather is about to die. I will kidnap his family when the time comes. There will be no worries." He won’t give in.”

If Lin Ze is subdued, then she won't have to pay back the 20 taels of IOU, and can still ask him for money.

"You two want to die, don't take me with you."

Ning Heng also joined the chat, but only scolded him when he opened his mouth.

Seeing dissatisfaction on their faces, Ning Heng said coldly:

"Lin Ze has only been out of the mountain for a few months, and the property, wives and concubines were only purchased in these few months. Do you think these things are very important to Lin Ze? You offended him but you can't take him down. Who do you think he will look for if he takes revenge? ?”

"The most important thing is that he is still young and has a long life."

"When the time comes, if we're lucky, we can hide incognito for the rest of our lives. If we're not lucky, he will kill us on the spot."

On the side, Yue Sheng ignored several people from beginning to end.

He has already seen these things clearly.

Going forward hundreds of thousands of years, why wouldn't someone, given the choice, offend a peerless master or even a master of heaven and man to death, or kill his relatives and friends?

It’s because everyone has concerns.

If you lift the table, others will not lift the table?

The strongest thing is to have no worries.

If you remove other people's worries, the other person will directly enter an invincible state without any fetters.

Except for using stronger force than the other party to kill him, there is no way to restrain the other party. Before that, he can retaliate arbitrarily for whatever you care about, making you feel the same pain as him.

The current situation is that they have absolutely no way to deal with Lin Ze himself.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Yue Sheng suddenly felt a stinging sensation between his eyebrows.

A strong sense of crisis emerged.

Subconsciously, he unfolded his body skills and directly crashed through the cabin, standing on the river hundreds of meters away.

boom!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded.

As the heat wave blew, Yue Sheng turned around and saw that the passenger ship he had just been on had been completely reduced to powder. Only some broken limbs and ship fragments were left floating on the river, under the fierce flames. Burning.

Lin Ze, on the other hand, was standing on the bank of the river at some point.

Behind him, a heavy cannon floated, its black muzzle pointed at the passenger ship.

Sensing the aura, at this time the three peerless master subordinates he brought were dead, one was on the verge of death, and the other was seriously injured.

If they weren't the only ones on this passenger ship, they would probably all have died together at this time.
