Chapter 2204: The Structure of Xuanzhou

"The Liu family mainly operates grain business, restaurants and inns. Basically, all the restaurants of a certain scale in Xuanzhou are owned by the Liu family. Then there is the Yin family, which mainly operates the cloth business. They not only monopolize the cloth shops in Xuanzhou, but also expand their business to the three states of Xi, Nan and Jin."

"Cloth business?"

Bai Chen smiled and narrowed his eyes. Back then, their Bai family also operated the cloth business.

"What about us?"

Bai Chen suddenly became curious.

Hearing this, Ji Shengyu said with a smile: "We are all thanks to Senior Moxian. They used to run the fishery in Wuliangjian. After we came here, he established several caravans, which went to Honghe area to transport fish here, and established fish restaurants in several prosperous places in Xuanzhou. They are similar to restaurants in nature, but the food is mainly fish. Because there has never been a fish restaurant in the Central Region, our industry can be regarded as a new industry, and the people are still very supportive! It's just..."

Speaking of this, Ji Shengyu looked at Bai Chen with complicated eyes: "Because our fish restaurant and restaurant business conflict, the Liu family pays close attention to us."

"Have they come to cause trouble?" Bai Chen raised his eyebrows.

"That's not the case. But the fishermen in Honghe area have suddenly raised the price of fish significantly recently. I sent people to secretly inquire about it. It was the Liu family who benefited from them that asked them to do so."

Hearing this, Bai Chen nodded lightly.

The Liu family is still a famous family. They did not choose to kill their caravan halfway, but just took certain measures in the market competition, which is fair.

"Let's not talk about the competition between the business families first, let's talk about the Jianghu forces."

Bai Chen has already had a preliminary understanding of the business families in Xuanzhou, headed by the Liu family and the Yin family. It is enough to pay attention to these two families.

"Okay!"

Ji Shengyu's face suddenly became heavy: "As for the Jianghu forces, there are three major forces in this Xuanzhou Jianghu that need to be paid attention to, Shenfeng Pavilion, Luocaotang, and Wanjianmen. Among them, Shenfeng Pavilion is the strongest. It is said that they have more than one Zhoushen Realm strongman..."

Zhoushen Realm!

Bai Chen smiled and narrowed his eyes.

In their current situation, they cannot reveal their identities too early. Masters like Ji Xukun must hide as long as possible.

So in the face of these opponents, they still have to rely on his and Meng Yao's strength for the time being.

The Zhoushen Realm strongman is indeed not to be underestimated.

"Luocaotang, are they beggars who specialize in robbing houses?" Bai Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ji Shengyu was startled: "Luocaotang is a beggar, it's true, they are all beggars, but they have a good reputation in Xuanzhou, and there has never been a case of robbery..."

"Really."

Bai Chen had encountered robbers who claimed to be from Luocaotang before, but they were all killed by my sister.

If they say that Luocaotang has a good reputation, then there are only two explanations.

One is that their so-called good reputation is actually just a hypocritical illusion.

The second is that the group of thieves that Bai Chen met on the road were just pretending to be the reputation of Luocaotang.

"Wanjianmen, how is this force?"

Bai Chen asked again.

Ji Shengyu heard this and shook his head slowly: "Wanjianmen is a secluded sect located in the suburbs of Xuanzhou. They are very low-key on weekdays. I have never had a deep impression of them. However, since they can be called the three giants of Xuanzhou together with Shenfeng Pavilion and Luocaotang, I believe that Wanjianmen must have some ability!"

"Yeah."

Bai Chen nodded lightly.

The pattern of Xuanzhou is not too complicated.

Shenfeng Pavilion, Luocaotang, Wanjianmen, Liu Family, Yin Family...

"Shengyu, you have to understand one thing. As a commercial family, if you want to survive in this world where the strong are respected, you must rely on powerful forces in the underworld. So when we enter Xuanzhou in the name of the Shang clan, we must have a good relationship with one of the three forces, so that we can be watertight, understand?"

"What the sect leader means is that we pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, first find a backer as a false appearance, and confuse the world?"

"Yes."

Bai Chen smiled, and at this moment, he suddenly sensed a very slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

Then, Xiaoliu's voice resounded in his sea of ​​consciousness: "It's your little sister."

"I know."

Bai Chen looked calm and took a deep breath.

Little sister came to eavesdrop?

Ji Shengyu was still savoring Bai Chen's words. After a moment, he said solemnly, "If you say so, then we can't choose Luocaotang and Wanjianmen. Because Luocaotang is the backer of the Yin family, and Wanjianmen is the backer of the Liu family."

"Heh, so we can only choose Shenfeng Pavilion?"

"Uh... This may be difficult! Shenfeng Pavilion is extremely powerful. The Liu family and the Yin family have been trying to curry favor with them for so many years, but even if they send more gold, silver and jewelry, they will not look down on them. After all, After all, the foundation of the Divine Wind Pavilion has been around for more than 20,000 years. How can a small Shang clan reach it...”

“Just because they can’t do it doesn’t mean we can’t do it either. Don’t forget that our Chenyao Sword Sect now has a ninth-grade alchemy master~”

“Yes! How could I forget about this? Haha, in the Central Region, apart from the Alchemy Emperor of the Temple, the most powerful alchemist is just the president of the Alchemist Guild. It is said that he is only an eighth-grade alchemist, and there is still a big gap from the level of Senior Lu. ”

“There is still an Alchemist Guild in this Central Region now?”

"Yes, the Alchemist Guild is located in Xizhou, and its strength should not be underestimated."

"Xizhou..."

Bai Chen smiled when he heard it. Xizhou is very far away from Xuanzhou.

"Master, there is something I must tell you." Ji Shengyu suddenly leaned close to Bai Chen's ear mysteriously and whispered softly: "It is said that there is a person named Fang Tianxiu who wants to establish an academy in Xuanzhou, and then teach specifically, and finally select outstanding talents and send them directly to Xinglan Temple. The position of manager is entered!"

"This Fang Tianxiu can make decisions in the temple?"

"Fang Tianxiu doesn't seem to have any ability, but his aunt is said to be the famous silver-robed elder of Xinglan Temple..."

"So there is this meaning..."

Bai Chen smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Master, didn't you say that saving Fatty Guo is the primary mission of our Chenyao Sword Sect? Why don't you take this opportunity to let me sneak into this academy, and then one day, sneak into the temple, and it will be convenient to find an opportunity to save Fatty Guo."

"Fatty must be saved, but not you, but me."

"This... you are the master of a sect, how can you go to the danger yourself? Besides, you are the master of our Chenyao Sword Sect, and you can't go to any academy to be a student. I don't want the incident of Qichen Academy to happen again."

"Don't worry, I don't want to be a student this time~"

Bai Chen smiled strangely, and Ji Shengyu was stunned.
