I Dont Own This Story
Open your eyes, Find fault
For the appearance of the elders of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group', the city lord did not seem to be surprised, so Elder Jiang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The Lord of the City seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's not surprising that they came to look for the City Lord. Anyway, the City Lord is an official here. There are some things that they need to verify!"
"City Lord, are they here for the Cheng family?" Elder Jiang asked.
"Hehe, at this moment, the whole city is full of wind and rain because of Cheng's family. They come here not for Cheng's house, but for someone else. It's interesting, and it's getting more and more interesting!"
Seeing the city lord in front of him almost clapping his hands, Elder Jiang couldn't help thinking, "The last time the number of 'Soul Killing Mercenaries' was assessed, Elder Wu from the trade union invited them to go, but they all declined at that time. It reappeared now, could it be that they asked us to inquire about it disappearing?"
"Hmph, if they don't go to Cheng's mansion, they don't think it's worth their presence. Don't you know that the people of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group' consider themselves to be extraordinary, so they don't easily go with the mercenary group below."
The city lord said lightly.
Elder Jiang nodded in agreement, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It is said that they are afraid that the mercenary groups below will bully other mercenaries under the guise of being a subordinate group of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group'!"
"Hmph, it's all just excuses. It's rare for their affiliated mercenary group to bully people?"
"My lord, even so, they are like this, who called them the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group' of the first mercenary group!"
"Okay, they're here, and the city lord is going to chat with them!"
As he spoke, the Lord City Master threw the book in his hand aside, stood up, glanced casually at the lapel of his body, and walked out with big strides. Elder Jiang behind him followed closely!
"My lord is here—"
Following Elder Jiang's shout, the three sitting in the living room got up to greet him.
"Hahaha, why do the two elders have time to come to the City Lord's Mansion today?"
The city lord entered with a laugh, and casually bowed his hands to the two elders, as if he had been old friends for many years.
The two elders of the "Ao Cang Mercenary Group" had their nostrils turned upside down outside, and no one would pay attention to them, but in the city lord's mansion, they smiled all over their faces and said very politely: "The old man disturbed the city lord's work, I hope the Lord City Lord will not be offended!"
"Congratulations, Lord City Master, your cultivation has taken another step forward, congratulations, congratulations—"
"Hahaha, two elders, please be polite, please sit down!"
The city lord, who was full of smiles, sat down at the main seat, and the beautiful maids hurriedly brought hot tea and cakes, and left soon.
"Please—" Lord City Master raised his teacup and smiled at them.
"My lord, please be polite!"
"Please-"
Everyone picked up their teacups, took a sip, and then put the teacups down. The city lord glanced at them and said, "The two elders came to the door. I don't know what's the matter?"
"Haha, the city lord is quick to talk, I don't hide my words, I won't say much else, this time we really have something to ask the city lord!" The old man in a light blue robe said with a smile.
"Oh, please tell me, Elder Zhang, you're welcome!" The city lord's eyes flickered for a moment, and he replied calmly.
Elder Zhang cupped his hands, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "My lord, there are rumors about the 'Soul Slayer Mercenary Corps' all over the city, what does your lord think?"
"What do you think? This city lord has no opinion. It is a good thing for us to have one more mercenary group!"
good thing?
Hearing these two words, the two elders of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group' were slightly taken aback, they never thought that the city lord would be indifferent.
Could it be that the 'Soul Killing Mercenary Group' really allied with the city lord?
This thought flashed through their minds, and they both looked at each other, and quickly put away their staring eyes.
"What the Lord City Master said is that the more mercenaries there are, the better it will be for us. After all, it can be said that mercenaries rule the world now!" Another elder of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group' sighed softly.
"The world of mercenaries? Elder Lin, although there are quite a few mercenaries in our Canghai Continent, they are not considered to be the world of mercenaries!"
Elder Jiang raised his eyebrows, his expression was half a smile, with a hint of sarcasm.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with saying this, but as members of the mercenary regiment and the elders of the first mercenary regiment, they said this in front of the city lord, which meant it was a bit of a headline, how could the city lord The people in the government sound comfortable!
Elder Zhang recalled it immediately. He glanced at the placid face of the city lord, and immediately smiled brightly, and said, "Elder Jiang, what Elder Lin means is that we have a lot of mercenaries, which has driven the mercenaries in all cities to join us." The business is running, this is a fact!"
"Okay, there's no need to discuss this matter here. The two elders came here for the 'Soul Slayer Mercenary Corps'?"
The city lord raised his brows slightly, squinting at the two people in front of him, with arrogance in his tone, as if he didn't take the identities of the two people into his heart.
Indeed, the city lord has the pride of the city lord. Since he took office, he has never flattered anyone. On the contrary, countless people want to squeeze into the city lord's mansion, because most people know that the city lord has an extraordinary background. The elders of Ao Cang Mercenary Group are not neglecting either.
The city lord is not polite to anyone, straight to the point, let alone chattering with others.
"Yes, I want to know what the Lord City Master thinks of the 'Soul Slayer Mercenary Group'." The embarrassment on Elder Zhang's face flashed away, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
The city lord glanced at him indifferently, and responded casually: "This city lord will personally attend the grand opening ceremony of Cheng Mansion's shop!"
In a word, with a straightforward explanation, the expressions of the two elders froze for a moment, and then they returned to normal!
A quarter of an hour later, the two elders walked out of the City Lord's Mansion!
"Elder Lin, it seems that the city lord and the Cheng family are really in an alliance. How should we respond to the 'Dark Mercenary Corps'?" Elder Zhang frowned slightly, with a somewhat displeased expression on his face.
Elder Lin's pace faltered, and he said: "They are them, we are us, Elder Zhang, the meaning of the city lord is very clear, there is no need for us to offend the city lord for the 'Dark Mercenary Corps'!"
"this-"
"Don't forget, if the 'Soul Slayer Mercenary Corps' really doesn't have any strength, is it worth the city lord standing on their side? In my opinion, before we figure out the strength of the 'Soul Slaughter Mercenary Corps', we should watch the show and compare it is good!"
"—" Elder Zhang's face darkened slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Elder Lin glanced at him lightly, sneered secretly, and said: "People from the 'Dark Mercenary Group' are not worthy of using us as gunmen, they are not worthy!"
After leaving these words, Elder Lin's figure disappeared. Fortunately, they were all invisible and no one around could find them. Otherwise, if this word got out, Desolate City would definitely spark a new topic.
Zhongyuan Building is open!
This topic has been spread for a long time. Due to the enthusiasm of the public, Cheng Xiaoxiao saved the advertising fee and did not need her people to come forward to promote it. It is already a well-known scene.
Today, before the original 'Chunhe Building' was renamed as 'Central Plains Building', thousands of people were watching, all waiting to see a good show.
The most important thing is that everyone wants to see, the head of the 'Soul Slayer Mercenary Corps' is said to be as beautiful as a fairy, but very few people have actually seen her.
Now that the Central Plains Building starts, she will definitely appear, not to mention the confrontation between the "Soul Slayer Mercenary Group" and the "Dark Mercenary Group". People gathered in the street of 'Zhongyuan Building'.
Cheng Xiaoxiao had already anticipated this problem, and hundreds of mercenaries were dispatched to guard in front of the 'Central Plains Building'.
Seeing the appearance of these mercenaries, all the people who came to watch the fun were in an uproar. They really saw hundreds of Valkyrie appear!
What is more shocking than this, and soon, the news was spread.
After hearing this, the city lord laughed like an old fox, got up and said to the elders beside him: "It's almost time, let's hurry over and have a look!"
"Yes, City Lord!" The faces of the elders were filled with smiles, and they followed the City Lord out.
After the two elders of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group' heard the news, their smiling faces suddenly froze, and they opened their mouths, but the two seemed to be strangled by someone, unable to speak for a long time In a word.
After a long time, Elder Zhang smiled wryly and shook his head, and said to the people beside him: "Elder Lin, you are right, fortunately we didn't do anything stupid, otherwise—"
Before finishing the sentence, both of them understood the meaning, Elder Lin nodded and said: "Prepare the congratulatory gift, let's go there!"
"Yes, we should go!"
Not only them, but the deacons and elders of many forces were very happy after hearing the news. Fortunately, they did not do anything excessive, otherwise, something big would happen!
No one can withstand the attacks of hundreds of warrior gods, and if they offend these people, they may bring trouble to their head.
When people from all major forces headed to the 'Central Plains Building' with congratulatory gifts, the 'Dark Mercenary Group' who had been brash and ready to find a place for themselves were stunned when they heard the news.
This news was like a thunderbolt, which directly knocked them into a daze, and they couldn't find the south, east, north, and west.
It took a long time for Chief Lu to find his voice, looked at his brother who was also stunned beside him, and asked, "Wei Hua, what do you think we—"
"Go, definitely go!"
Wei Hua let out a deep breath, as if he knew what he was going to say, and said: "Not only are we going, but we also have to bring our things and send them to their 'Central Plain Building'!"
"They saw the 'things' we sent, I'm afraid—" At this moment, Commander Lu had an expression called "regret". Corps' people, otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in a confrontation.
In fact, they don't have any animosity with the 'Soul Killing Mercenary Group', except for the battle of face, it's just a little conflict of interest, but everyone in the city knows, just wait and see what they do, if they remain indifferent, I am afraid that the entire 'Dark Mercenary Group' will not be able to stay in the mercenary world.
Wei Hua, who is a think tank, sees this problem most clearly. He sighed helplessly and said: "Right or wrong is not important anymore. Since we have chosen this path, we can only go on. We should not underestimate others." , especially if you don't know the situation, don't easily offend others!"
Captain Lu understood what he meant, it was precisely because he offended the head of the 'Soul Slayer Mercenary Corps' in front of everyone for a moment of anger.
"Let's go, don't think too much, take one step, one step counts!" Hua Wei's expression was firm, there were some things that he had to do, and he couldn't choose.
The two didn't say much, and waved for someone to carry the 'gift' up, and followed them out of the gate.
The 'Central Plain Building' opened, and Cheng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to show up, not only her, but everyone in the family showed up!
Xiaoyuteng has returned to her thirteen or fourteen-year-old appearance. She looks beautiful and cute, which is definitely a shining point that attracts people's attention.
"The elders of the Palace of Heavenly Secrets have arrived to congratulate—"
"The elders of the mercenary union are here to congratulate—"
"The elders of the Liuyun Sect have arrived to congratulate—"
"The elders of the Demon Sect have arrived to congratulate—"
"The elders of San Xiumeng have arrived to congratulate—"
As more and more forces sent elders to congratulate them, the onlookers were asked to stretch their necks, widen their eyes, and look at the people who appeared.
Representatives of almost all the powers appeared, and Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled until the corners of her mouth twitched, but she had to welcome the guests in again and again.
"The elders of the 'Ao Cang Mercenary Group' have come to congratulate—"
When the voice sounded, the excited crowd yelled again, Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled again, and the two elders of the well-known "Ao Cang Mercenary Group" came in to welcome them in.
Their appearance was indeed a surprise to Cheng Xiaoxiao. After all, where their names are, it is not surprising that they do not receive invitations.
When people came, they naturally greeted them. Just as they were welcomed in, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that the number of people who came should be almost there, and the last person who appeared in the grand finale did not know whether to come or not.
This person, of course, is the city lord. Cheng Xiaoxiao also can't guarantee that the city lord, who is always busy with everything, will appear, but he still needs to give some time to wait.
Fang Shuyun and Tianji Patriarch accompanied the smiling elders. Elder Ying watched the inside and outside of the 'Central Plains Building'. Xiaoyuteng's whereabouts were uncertain, appearing and disappearing from time to time. What a game.
Cheng Xiaoxiao is not worried about her, and doesn't care about her, she can play as she pleases!
"The city lord has arrived—"
Since he was an official, the voice of the treasurer Jin standing outside was trembling with excitement, and the audience outside had already knelt on the ground, no one dared to disrespect the city lord!
Not only Cheng Xiaoxiao came out after hearing the sound, but also the elders who came first couldn't sit still, they all got up and walked out to welcome the city lord to arrive together!
"The city lord is here, the shop is full of splendor, thank you, the city lord!" Cheng Xiaoxiao greeted the city lord immediately, bowing slightly to the city lord in front of him and cupping his hands.
"Hahaha-"
The Lord City Master laughed before saying anything, and glanced at the elders who came out with sharp eyes, nodded and said: "The 'Central Plains Building' has a happy opening, and the City Master is here to join in the fun. You are welcome, please rise—"
Speaking of the last sentence, the city lord has turned to the common people kneeling on the ground, his voice is amiable.
"Thank you, Lord City Master—"
After everyone thanked them, they got up and stood up. The city lord was very satisfied, and said to Cheng Xiaoxiao: "My city lord came to ask for a glass of wine. Captain Cheng won't mind!"
"Don't dare, dare not, my lord is very polite, my lord is an honored guest that we can't even invite, it's an honor, an honor!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke polite and respectful words, seeing the Lord City Master in front of him was really saving face, and said: "This is an auspicious time, my little girl dares to ask the City Master to open the plaque for us, and hope the City Master will make it happen!"
"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say!"
The Lord City Lord kept laughing, Xiao Yuteng came out from nowhere, and said to the City Lord, "City Lord, our 'Central Plain Building' will become the number one in the future, so you will be proud!"
"a ha ha ha-"
When the Lord City Lord saw Xiaoyuteng flashing out, he was surprised for a moment, and then laughed out loud, looking at Xiaoyuteng with deep eyes, but he was shocked in his heart.
Facing this little girl, the city lord could smell danger, which was really hard for him to believe.
However, he believed in his perception, because his perception had never had any accidents. It can be seen that this seemingly petite, sweet and lovely girl in front of him was by no means an ordinary girl.
At this time, the elders also saw Xiao Yuteng for the first time, and they were more surprised when they saw the little girl in front of them than when they saw Cheng Xiaoxiao.
If Cheng Xiaoxiao shocked them, then the little Yuteng in front of them would shock and frighten them. There was only one thought in their minds, the Cheng family would not offend them, the "Soul Slayer Mercenary Group" would not offend them, and the big and small girls in front of them would be even more annoying. no.
"Okay, my city lord will open a plaque for you, and I believe that this city lord will be proud of the 'Central Plains Building', hahaha—"
Following the heroic laughter of the city lord, he pulled up the red silk next to him, took one side with the ancestor of Tianji, and the two of them pulled off the silk cloth covering the plaque at the same time, revealing three arrogant characters.
"Wandering and pitching, calm and romantic, strong like iron painting, charming like a silver hook, good calligraphy, good, beautifully written!" Seeing the three characters of "Central Plains Building" flamboyantly, the city lord clapped his hands and applauded!
"Okay, good word—"
"Extraordinary momentum, this word is beautiful!"
"Good photo, good writing!"
Everyone praised it one after another, and everyone present applauded. No one bothered to care about whether it was true or false!
When Cheng Xiaoxiao saw the crowd, Yurong showed a calm smile, and said: "Everyone, thank you, little girl, the 'Laiyue Inn' and 'Jinfulai Restaurant' in front of us have been reserved by us, everyone, please treat me, Go ahead for lunch, thank you!"
"God, no!"
"Is it true that you are inviting us all to dinner?"
"Really invite us to dinner?"
"My God, did I hear wrong, is this true?"
The crowd started to bombard again. After all, they watched other people's business opening and were invited to dinner. This was the first time that such a thing happened in Huangyan.
Not only did the audience not believe it, but even the elders who came to congratulate each of them showed incredible expressions when they heard Cheng Xiaoxiao's words.
The people in Cheng's mansion are too generous!
"Everyone please be quiet—"
At this time, the old man Ying came forward and circulated his immortal energy, and his voice echoed in the entire void, spreading to everyone's ears, "What our eldest lady said is true, everyone, please rest assured, we have indeed covered it." The next two restaurants, everyone can go to eat now, lunch is all included in our "Central Yuan Building", I hope you can come to our "Central Yuan Building" in the future to join us, take care of our business, thank you!"
clap clap clap -
The city lord next to him was the first to clap his hands, and then the elders behind him also clapped their hands, and then all the common people and the audience followed suit. Suddenly, the applause resounded through the sky, and all the mercenaries no longer had the slightest bit of applause in their eyes. The meaning of exclusion.
Seeing this scene, the city lord couldn't help but sigh for the good tricks of the Cheng family. At this opportune time, he won everyone's favor.
These are all people who have lived in Desolate City for many years. Their existence is to drive the entire Desolate City to rotate. It will make the common people of Desolate City crowd out, but on the contrary, it will really take care of it.
Those who saw this problem were not only the city lord, but the other elders were all at the level of the old fox. Why didn't they know that this was a way for the people of the Cheng family to buy people's hearts.
But what can they do to expose their thoughts? Obviously it is impossible, even to put it bluntly, these ordinary people and ordinary mercenaries would not believe it.
"Thank you everyone, everyone please, wait a moment for the old man and the treasurer Jin to salute you personally!" Old man Ying's voice sounded again.
"The housekeeper should be polite, congratulations! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to the grand opening of 'Central Plains Building'!"
"Congratulations, I wish the 'Central Plains Building' a prosperous business!"
"I wish the 'Central Plains Building' a prosperous future!"
Everyone was happy, and all kinds of blessings were shouted from their mouths. The people who were supposed to watch the fun, now all became congratulators.
The opening of a shop received congratulations from all over the city. I am afraid that no one else has this kind of originality except the "Central Plains Building".
Regarding today's affairs, it has been circulated for many years, and at the same time, many editions have been circulated. This kind of lively topic is still the capital that everyone likes to talk about.
"Wait a minute—"
A strong and arrogant voice interrupted everyone's congratulations, everyone closed their mouths and looked towards the place where the voice came from.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was no exception. The people standing in front of the shop also saw the people coming. After seeing those people clearly, all the elders showed strange expressions.
Then they glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao, only to see her calm face, as if nothing happened, which surprised them very much.
Anyone can see that these people appear to find fault, especially when they appear when they are opening, it is tantamount to cutting off their business, this is a big feud.
Seeing dozens of people walking over from the crowd, Cheng Xiaoxiao's expression was as calm as before, but Xiao Yuteng's expression was not calm, on the contrary, her lovely face was full of killing intent!
A group of people looking for death!
"Our "Dark Mercenary Group" congratulates the "Central Plains Building", and the gift is here—"
