Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 174 They are all acquaintances
"General Xu Bai!" When the head of the Kang family saw the visitor, he was slightly stunned and saluted with a serious expression.

It turned out that the tall and strong city lieutenant in front of him was actually General Xu, who had led Kang Dabao and his group of Pingrong militia in the battle of Wuxiangmen.

"I dare not, I dare not. I am Xu Yingshi, the acting captain of Chongmingfang City. I am here to meet the captain." Xu Yingshi said he dared not, but his disdain was revealed on his face without any concealment.

Master Kang didn't care. He had been looked down upon many times in his life, and this was nothing.

It would be great if Xu Yingshi was truly a straight-talking man.

People who show their emotions clearly on their faces are much easier to deal with than those who are sweet-mouthed but treacherous.

Xu Yingshi followed the young man surnamed Deng just for the sake of formality. After greeting him, he just nodded to the young man surnamed Deng, ignored Kang Dabao, and left.

"Captain Xu is such a straightforward person. Don't worry about it, Captain." The young man surnamed Deng tried to smooth things over in a very familiar manner.

"I know that General Xu Bai is my old superior. I benefited a lot from serving under him." Kang Dabao laughed without any sign of shame or anger.

After all, Xu Yingshi is not the same kind of person as Luo Heng.

The latter is just a small son-in-law of an old foundation-building family, and his methods are mediocre. Since he dares to cause trouble for Master Kang, he will be beaten.

The former is not the case.

As early as the battle to attack Wuxiangmen that year, Xu Yingshi's cultivation must have reached the late stage of Qi training. The fire-based Taoism he displayed when facing the disciples of Wuxiangmen was extremely exquisite, and he could be said to have lost sight of the whole thing.

Just relying on his fire-based Taoist magic, Xu Yingshi could be considered an outstanding figure even among the hundred-man team of the provincial court.

It was also because of this that he was picked out by the two Simas and occupied the position of "One Hundred Generals" which was relatively scarce at that time.

Thinking in this way, even if Xu Yingshi's ability is not as strong as Tie Xishui's, it can be compared to a cultivator who is about to build a foundation.

He should at least be a Qi-cultivating cultivator of the same level as Ge Yangfeng from the Fengzhou Ge family.

Although the fighting skills of the head of Kangda have improved in recent years, it seems that Xu Yingshi will not stand still.

Judging from the resources of the children of the wealthy families, if the latter practiced more smoothly, they might already be preparing to build their foundation.

In this case, not to mention whether Kang Dabao can fight or dare to fight, even whether he can win the fight is very questionable.

Not to mention, he is a descendant of the Xu family in Dai County. Even if he is a branch of a branch of a branch of the Nascent Soul family, he is not someone that Kang Dabao, the head of a small Qi training sect, can underestimate and must not be offended easily.

However, for a family with a bright future to suddenly start out as a worker, his starting position was just a fake city lieutenant with no rank or status, which was a bit too low.

Did Xu Yingshi offend a big shot in the provincial court and was exiled; or did the provincial court specially appoint him as a warning to Master Kang? The latter requires careful consideration.

The head of Kangda thought of this and looked at the young man named Deng in front of him. Although the latter came to work as a minor official, his cheerful and cheerful temperament could not be concealed at all, and he must be from a noble family.

In this case, Kang Dabao is more inclined to the latter of the two conjectures, thinking that this is just another layer of constraints imposed by the state court.

As for why Zhou Ting was so concerned about a small figure like him, the head of Kangda Sect could not guess. He only thought that perhaps he wanted to package his horse bones to be more glamorous.

Xu Yingshi's arrival did not bring any changes to the construction work of Chongmingfang City. Many things were still done by Kang Dabao and the two city accountants.

To be precise, it should be the elderly accountant whose name Kang Dabao could not even remember who was doing it. During this period, the head of Kang Da was more responsible for arranging the locations of various shops, planning the layout of various streets, and determining the size of the store areas, which was the work of distributing the fat meat.

All the other chores that did not bring any profit but were laborious and stressful naturally fell on the shoulders of the elderly city accountant alone.

On this day, Sect Leader Kang had just come out of Chongming Sect with He Degong after having a drink. The latter had never left since he arrived with his caravan and had been stationed in Chongming Sect for some time.

The He family did not urge him either, because He Degong did a great job this time and helped the He family to grab a good position in Chongmingfang Market.

In fact, considering the three conditions of Pingrong County, namely, its remote location, complex spiritual veins, and small number of cultivators, after the Chongming Market is built, even with the support of the provincial government, it will be difficult to see whether this business can be successful in just 10 to 20 years.

Therefore, it is not necessarily possible for the He family of Hong County to gain much profit by taking over a good location, so it is not worth getting too excited.

But this is the first market town upgraded by the state court after all. How many of the foundation-building forces that opened shops here are here to make money? Aren't they all here to show up in front of the bigwigs in the state court?

Because of this incident, He Degong even received praise from the person behind the He family.

This was a treatment he had never received in his decades of practicing Buddhism.

After all, before this, the foundation-building cultivator basically only dealt with He Dezong and might not have heard of the name He Degong.

This made He Degong somewhat excited. Even the head of Kangda had not paid much attention to some trivial matters in Chongmingfang City, but He Degong was busy following the elderly accountant and doing a lot of things.

Thanks to He Degong's relationship, the old accountant's resentment towards the head of Kangda has dissipated a lot.

The flying boat of Sect Leader Kang carried the two of them all the way to the bustling Chongming Market. This place was now like a large construction site, with warriors carrying large beams of spiritual wood and beasts of burden pulling all kinds of spiritual materials everywhere.

Many forces that were about to settle in Chongming Market also sent people to inspect the place. Among them was a beautiful woman with a quiet temperament and steep figure that Sect Leader Kang happened to recognize, so he rode his black blood horse over to say hello.

"It turned out to be Deacon Huo in person. I haven't seen you for many years. You are still as elegant as ever."

"Master Kang, Captain Kang are all well." Huo Ying showed some surprise on her face when she suddenly saw Master Kang.

"If I had known this, I would have sold the Seven Stars Heart-Severing Sword to his family at a lower price." Huo Ying bit her lips lightly. Two beautiful red clouds rose on her cheeks, giving off the scent of a mature woman.

"Oh, unexpectedly, Deacon Huo also came from Xuanwei City. From now on, we are neighbors. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me." When Sect Leader Kang heard the manager of the Fantasy Sword Alliance mention the background of Huo Ying, he could roughly guess why this person was transferred here.

This woman is the distant niece of Huo Bing, the governor of Yunjiao Prefecture. In her early years, she married a true disciple of the Huanjian League and became his second wife.

At that time, Huo Bing had a good relationship with a powerful elder of the Niu family in Xuanwei. In order to gain some convenience, the Fantasy Sword Alliance transferred Huo Ying to Wanjianzhai as a deacon.

This woman has a good complexion and does good business, and the Fantasy Sword Alliance is very satisfied with her.

But in recent years, the Niu family was destroyed, Huo Bing was about to die, and Huo Ying's husband, a true disciple of the Fantasy Sword Alliance, died in seclusion in the forbidden area when he was building his foundation.
After experiencing these misfortunes, the rich place like Xuanwei City was no longer suitable for her to stay, so she had to go to Chongming Market to open up wasteland.

"I never thought that the little customer who was once poor in my eyes has now become a luxurious figure that many foundation-building forces want to make friends with." The young woman, who had just become a widow, suddenly had some strange thoughts in her mind. She looked at the fat man's back for a long time as he left.
