Chapter 602 Craftsmen Association
While Luo Yunwei was busy setting up the formation, Ning Fengzhi had arrived at the small town outside Lieyang City, and the spies were reporting to him on the situation related to the Craftsmen Association.

"The president of the Craftsmen Association, Jonathan, and the vice-president Xu Rong, their previous positions were neutral. However, after the Shadow Demon clan visited the Craftsmen Association the day after Xinxingluo was established, his position changed to support. Xin Xing Luo, the Shadow Demon Clan has extremely strong concealment capabilities and we cannot track it. However, based on the comparison we made with the situation in the city, we initially suspect that the Shadow Demon Clan kidnapped the wives and family members of important speakers in the Craftsmen Association and brought them to Xiaguang. City, this has led to the current situation of the Craftsmen Association being our enemy.”

"Is there anything else worth noting?"

"The daughter of Ge Qing, the master carpenter, is the wife of the third elder of the gilded pangolin clan in Xiaguang City, so he is a very staunch supporter of Xinxing Luo. Recently, he has been lobbying merchants in Lieyang City and small and medium-sized soul master families. , we must fight to the end for Xinxing Luo.”

Ning Fengzhi nodded. Some of the information that followed was not very important. The situation in Lieyang City was much more troublesome than he thought. Unlike the blacksmith association in Gengxin City, the blacksmiths and their party were involved in the armaments of the two countries, as well as the There are many key areas so the blacksmith can be independent.

The president of the blacksmith association is often a master among blacksmiths, and his words can affect everything.

But the craftsmen's association is different, including all kinds of manufacturing industries. The main reason is that most industries involve few key points, and it is almost impossible to become independent.

As a comprehensive association, the right to speak of the president and vice-president of the association has always been restricted by the leading craftsmen of various manufacturing industries. As the best-developed company among them, the carpenters have almost as much say as the president and vice-president. quite.

Therefore, Ge Qing's behavior of supporting Xinxing Luo has already made the peace talks very unsmooth.

Coupled with the fact that the Shadow Demon clan kidnapped the family members of the top officials of the Craftsmen Association, the possibility of peace talks was even more eliminated.

But Lieyang City is the capital of art. A strong attack will inevitably cause great damage. Carpenters, jade carvers, stonemasons, glass crafts, ceramic crafts and other industries will suffer great losses. Moreover, once a strong attack is chosen, it is equivalent to It offended craftsmen across the continent.

The most important thing is what is the meaning of the storm? The craftsmen were originally neutral, but they were tied to Xinxingluo's chariot.

It is very simple to solve this problem now. Go and rescue people secretly, deal with Ge Qing, and regain Lieyang City first, or simply attack Xiaguang City directly to fundamentally solve Xinxingluo's problem?

Ning Fengzhi tapped his slender fingers on the table and began to think.

At this time, on the top floor of the Craftsmen's Association building, Jonathan was also deep in thought. He was a senior craftsman among glass craftsmen. Because of his strong comprehensive ability, he was elected as the president in the last competition for the president of the Craftsmen's Association.

He has always been proud of this, but until this incident happened, no one told him that his wife and daughter might be kidnapped because of his identity! This is a farce.

Jonathan has a gentle personality and does not like disputes. Moreover, he is a pure craftsman who never asks about political affairs and does not care about the general trend of the world.

In his opinion, he is just a glass-burner. Regardless of whether it is a war or something, all he can do is continue to make various things.

Whether there is Xing Luo or not, whether this land belongs to the Nine Treasure Glazed Empire or New Xing Luo, will his life change? In other words, even if he chooses a side, will what he can do change?

And it’s not like Jonathan doesn’t know the situation outside. Now the so-called New Star Luo only has Lieyang City and Xiaguang City left. What can the two cities do? This group of people who don’t want to be ruled by the Nine Treasure Glazed Empire should also look at it. Let’s be clear, the unification of the world is unstoppable. Don’t these people have any sense?

What makes Jonathan even more dissatisfied is Ge Qing, who acts very arrogantly today.

Among those who competed with him for the chairmanship was Ge Qing's second son, Ge Jin. Although Ge Jin was very capable but had a bad character, he ultimately lost the election. Jonathan suspected that Ge Qing was behind the kidnapping of family members by the Shadow Demon clan. Sure enough, Xu Rong, whom he sent to investigate the matter, brought back accurate information.

"President, I have already investigated. When the Shadow Demon clan came, they first went to the Carpenters Association to visit Ge Qing. It was Ge Qing who gave them the list and address." Vice President Xu Rong hurried in from outside.

Xu Rong was a jade craftsman. He was only an intermediate jade craftsman, but because of his strong execution ability, being very organized and patient, he was discovered by Jonathan and became the vice president.

Compared to Jonathan, who just thinks the world is ridiculous, Xu Rong, who has a straightforward personality, is full of anger when his family is taken away: "Our family was kidnapped, it was the idea of ​​that old bastard Ge Qing! I must kill him."

The enmity between Ge Qing and Jonathan Xu Rong and others certainly did not start when a son lost his position as president, but as a master carpenter, he always felt that carpenters should be the core of the craftsmen's association and should be one step above others, rather than fighting with others. Other handicrafts are on par.

But the reality is very disappointing. Although carpenters are the largest number of people in the craftsmen's association, they are not the highest paid. Most of their income comes from furniture orders with small profits but quick turnover.

Wooden handicrafts and works of art are not popular in Douluo Continent because of the low price of the materials themselves. In terms of reputation, the reputation of carpenters is far lower than that of other types of craftsmen.

Ge Qing's jealousy is extremely strong, and he despises the good things of others.

Some strange things that happened within the Craftsmen Association in the past were also related to him.

For example, three years ago, the glass slurry in the glass workshop abnormally condensed, causing several furnaces to be scrapped. Seven years ago, the warehouse of the Jinyu Workshop was stolen. More than ten years ago, there was a fire in the Brocade Workshop. He was vaguely behind it. It's just that Ge Qing has many scapegoats, and Jonathan and the others have never had actual evidence to directly deal with Ge Qing, a carpenter.

Jonathan took a deep breath, feeling that it was expected. Even though he had a gentle temper, he could not bear his anger at this time. He slapped the table and stood up: "Let's go! Bring someone with you! We must make these carpenters pay the price today!"

An internal fight suddenly broke out. Before Ning Fengzhi could make a decision, Lieyang City was already in chaos.

The news of the internal fighting in Lieyang City reached Ning Fengzhi's ears only in the afternoon.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi had already made his decision. He had just sent a messenger to inform Luo Yunwei, the Enshrinement Hall, and some nearby elders to prepare for a decisive battle with Xinxing Luo.

It is most efficient to solve the problem directly from the root cause.

Regarding the internal fighting in Lieyang City, Ning Fengzhi thought for a while and decided to intervene. It is very difficult to train a craftsman, especially the weaving of handicrafts, which cannot escape the accumulation of experience.

If the commotion in Lieyang City goes too far and too many craftsmen are killed or injured, it will also be a big loss for the Nine Treasure Glazed Empire.

"Uncle Gu, please go to Lieyang City and tell the city lord that we will attack Lieyang City within seven days."

Gu Rong raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Didn't you just send a disciple to inform Yun Wei and the others to go directly to Xiaguang City?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and shook his head helplessly: "For some reason, there is serious internal fighting within the Craftsmen Association in Lieyang City. If you want to stop the internal fighting, you can only stop it if there is a very strong external threat. You can bring it there." There was turmoil.”
