The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 441 Tongbao Commercial Bank, Nangong Family (still need monthly tickets, brothers)

Outside the carriage, there were many guards. Xiong Sanrang held his breath and stood respectfully on one side, waiting for the master's instructions. His black bear-like body seemed a little small at this moment.

Chen Pingan didn't say anything, but knocked on the beam on the frame. The sound was not loud, but it was transmitted to Xiong Sanrang's ears very clearly.

Hearing this voice, Xiong Sanrang's expression froze and he immediately bowed in response.

If the adults don't say anything, it means they agree with your suggestion. This is the hidden rule of the Zhenfu Division. Xiong Sanrang has been working in the Zhenfu Division for many years, so he must understand this principle.

He waved his hand and gave the order.

"Come here, inform the caravan ahead in advance, don't let them crash into the carriage!"

"Yes!" Xiong San asked several people around him to salute him, then quickly left the team and headed towards the fork in the road ahead.

Xiong Sanrang climbed onto the horse, his eyes sharp as lightning as he watched the backs of the people running away.

As the escort commander, he naturally had a fine horse to ride. Just now, he dismounted to ask for instructions from the Lord, so he spoke respectfully to show his respect for the Lord. Now that the instructions were completed, he naturally mounted the horse again.

The team drove slowly along the official road. The few people who had just left the team had reached the fork in the road and were about to meet the caravan.

Xiong Sanrang observed the distance for a while, and after confirming that the caravan would not affect their group, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

Although the caravan on the fork in the road ahead is quite large, as long as the people he sends out can contact the caravan, it basically means that the matter has been handled.

There were more than 20 people in their group. Since they were qualified to accompany them, it meant that any one of them was an elite among the elite. If they were placed outside, they would be able to stand on their own. As long as they could come into contact with the caravan, they would be able to handle all matters with the fastest speed and most accurate means to ensure the completion of the mission.

Xiong Sanrang was riding on his horse with a sharp look in his eyes. An extremely sharp aura was looming around him, and a deep fear emerged in his eyes.

Not far from him, a black-shirted swordsman with an ancient sword case on his back was also riding on a steed. The swordsman had a stern look and sharp features. He did not hold the reins with his hands, but the horse under him seemed extremely obedient and walked with the team.

The northern swordsman, Guandong Xiang!
Ranked on the Dragon and Tiger List, 319th!
Xiong Sanrang only glanced at him from the corner of his eye and did not dare to look at him any more. His fighting ability was strong and he could be considered a master, but he was still not good enough in front of the Northern Sword Master Guan Dongxiang. The gap between the two was like that between a strong man and a baby.

"You were quite arrogant before! Why are you humbled now and going to Beicang with adults? What is this? You are stealing my job!" Xiong Sanrang cursed in his heart, feeling quite indignant.

He had no choice but to do so. If it weren't for the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang, with his strength and qualifications, he would be the number one general under Lord Chen, and it would not be an exaggeration to even call him his most beloved general.

But when the Northern Swordsman Guan Dongxiang came, everything changed. Although Guan Dongxiang was not affiliated with the Zhenfusi system, his strength was too strong. Not to mention being a threat, he completely replaced his number one favorite general.

Originally, he was the number one leader under Lord Chen, but when the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang came, he had to take second place. It would be strange if he had any good feelings towards Guan Dongxiang.

Xiong Sanrang's heart was filled with malice, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. The masters at the top had very sharp perceptions, and if he let out even the slightest bit of evil thoughts, they would probably detect it.

Being targeted by a master on the Dragon and Tiger List, is he thinking his life is too long? Even though the master is around, Guan Dongxiang dare not act recklessly, but he is afraid that his future life will be difficult.

So along the way, whenever his eyes met with the other party's, he would force himself to smile and release his full kindness.

The carriage moved forward slowly. While Xiong Sanrang was thinking, the people who had left the team ahead had already handled the negotiations with the caravan. The huge caravan stopped at the side of the fork in the road to avoid the carriage.

Xiong Sanrang was riding on a tall horse. When passing by the caravan, he glanced at them casually.

The caravan was quite large, with carriages following one another, some carrying passengers and some carrying goods. Scattered around were the caravan guards, each of them strong and vigorous, looking quite impressive.

The caravan flag was flying high, with the word "Tongbao" embroidered on the light yellow background.

"Tongbao Commercial Bank!?" Xiong Sanrang showed a hint of surprise. "Is this a caravan from Qinglingzhou?"

Tongbao Commercial Bank, with connections all over the world, brings treasures to all directions!
The territory of the Daqian Dynasty was extremely vast. Although Tongbao Trading Company was unable to truly reach the entire world, it had traces of the company from the North Sea in the north to the Canglan River in the south, from the Gray Mist Valley in the west to the Yunlu Mountain in the east.

Tongbao Commercial Bank has a great reputation, and its status in Qingling Province is like that of Ruyibao Pavilion in Canglong Province. However, the difference is that compared with Canglong Province, Qingling Province, as a southern state, has more prosperous trade within its borders.

Tongbao Trading Company is the largest merchant in Qingling Prefecture, and its scale and foundation are even higher than Ruyi Bao Pavilion.

Xiong Sanrang had not expected to run into the Tongbao Merchants' caravan here. However, this surprise only made him look at them a few more times, but it did not really attract his attention. His expression returned to normal, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Although Tongbao Commercial Bank has a great reputation, the caravan in front of him is just a drop in the ocean in the huge Tongbao commercial system and cannot truly represent Tongbao Commercial Bank. This caravan may be enough to scare ordinary people, but it is actually just like that for him.

The candidate for the commander-in-chief was in a high position and had great power. In a county, he was an absolute giant in the pacification department. Meeting the caravan of Tongbao Commercial Bank here might be a little bit surprising, but it was unlikely to be shocking or surprising.

Kick, kick, kick~
The carriage slowly passed the caravan, with bright flags fluttering in the wind.

"Tongbao?"

The northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang looked indifferent and glanced in the direction of the caravan.

His focus was different from Xiong Sanrang's. He was looking at the Nangong family, the financial backer behind Tongbao Trading Company.

The Nangong family has a long heritage, which is even longer than that of the Canglong Gu family. It is the number one family in Qingling Prefecture and also the largest financial backer behind the Tongbao Trading Company.

When Guan Dongxiang was young, he had come into contact with people from the Nangong family. Although they were not close friends, they were more or less acquaintances. The experience of contacting each other was quite pleasant.

"Nangong family." Guan Dongxiang's eyes were deep, and scenes emerged in his mind. These were his past and his memories.

"The world's most powerful people come from my generation, and once they enter the world, time will rush them!"

The caravan flag was hung high, and the word Tongbao fluttered in the wind. Looking at the majestic carriage slowly passing by, the expressions of the caravan members were different. Some were curious and wanted to find out what was going on, some looked solemn and awed, and some looked indignant and uncomfortable.

"The few people who just came here are so arrogant. They are asking for the carriage of the nobles and the rest of you to stay away! This road belongs to everyone. Why should we stay away?!"

"Yes, our Tongbao Commercial Bank has a great reputation. Why should we give way to them? What are the people in charge thinking? "

"Hush, keep your voice down!" "Yeah, I'll keep my voice down, but that's the way it is. Why? There are hundreds of us in this group, and they are only 20 or 30 people. Why should we give way? If we really have to cross the road, then we can do whatever we want. Whoever is faster can go! Why are you sending people here like this?"

"You two young fools, how dare you question the decision of the leaders for the first time? Do you think you two are the smartest in the world? The leaders have been around and seen all kinds of situations. Do they need you to teach them how to make decisions?!"

"Yeah, young people, talk less, watch more, listen more, don't vent your emotions without understanding anything! If you didn't follow the team, you wouldn't know how you died!"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Do you recognize that car frame just now!?"

"I recognize it. It looks like the frame of the Pacification Bureau."

"Then what!?"

"Ah, and then?"

"Idiot! What does it mean to be equipped with the special frame of the Pacification Bureau? At least they are all candidates for the commander-in-chief! They are still polite when they come here, and they are more or less negotiating in advance. If you meet someone with a bad temper, you will just block the road.

Also, look at these people on the accompanying carriages, which one of them is ordinary! ? With such a lineup, I'm afraid they are more than just the candidates for the commander-in-chief! It can also be written above, this is definitely a big shot! Our Tongbao Company is big, but doing business emphasizes making money in harmony, how can we just cause trouble as soon as we get to a place?
You two, how did you learn this before you left home? You don’t even know this common sense!? Go back and learn it well! Don’t let your life be lost one day and cause trouble for others too! "

A solemn and dignified middle-aged guard in the caravan scolded the two young men beside him. He did not stop until he saw the shame on their faces.

He looked up and saw that the tall, wide carriage, which was carved with intricate and majestic patterns, had already gone far away under the protection of a group of people. Looking around, he found that some of the experienced guards in the caravan were looking up and far away, and their expressions were mostly full of awe for power.

Only people like them who are experienced and qualified can clearly know what power really represents!
In the center of the caravan was parked an ordinary standard carriage.

"Aunt Liu, those people just now were not polite at all. Why should we swallow our anger and let them go first!?"

The gorgeous decoration inside the carriage was completely different from the outside. A pretty girl in a bright yellow dress was sitting on the cushion of the carriage and said angrily.

Sitting in front of the girl was a woman who looked to be over 40. The woman had fair skin and was well maintained, but time had left a faint trace at the corners of her eyes.

"Yan'er, Aunt Liu understands your feelings. But the road ahead is long, it's better to have less trouble than more. A business is for business, and harmony makes money." The woman consoled softly, her tone gentle: "Besides, those few people just now have powerful internal energy, they are definitely not ordinary Zhenfusi officials. The people accompanying them are so powerful, the one sitting in the carriage is definitely not ordinary! Why should we add unnecessary trouble just for a moment of anger!"

"Aunt Liu, I know the reason, but I'm really angry!" The girl frowned, her tone filled with some reluctance and anger.

"Yan'er." The beautiful middle-aged woman called Aunt Liu chuckled, with a bit of doting and helplessness in her tone: "You grew up in the Nangong family, and you have been spoiled since childhood, and you don't know the sufferings of the world. It's right for you to go out for a walk this time. Like what you felt just now made you angry, but how many people can not understand this feeling when they go out."

Aunt Liu paused and continued, her tone becoming gentler and more patient: "Like your ninth brother, when he was still a martial artist, he also experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, the ups and downs of life. He struggled all the way, experienced countless setbacks and hardships, and only then did he achieve what he has today.

And your fourth sister, she has been practicing in the Seven Stars Temple since she was young, hiding her identity. I am afraid that only she knows the pain and hardship she has gone through. But now, you are ranked first in the Qingling Rookie List, suppressing your peers, shining brightly, and attracting the attention of the world! How many fellow practitioners admire her, and how many older practitioners are ashamed of her. "

Nangong Liu's voice fell, but Nangong Yan did not respond immediately. She pursed her lips, her brows slightly relaxed, and a trace of thought flashed in her clear eyes.

Although she still felt a little aggrieved emotionally and found it hard to accept for a while, she accepted Aunt Liu's statement rationally and understood the deep meaning behind her words.

During these days when she was away from home, she experienced a lot of things and gained some small insights. She gradually realized that the outside world was not as simple as she had imagined before. There was no smooth journey and no eternal comfort. Setbacks and twists and turns were the norm in life.

She hid her identity during this trip, and although she was still under the protection of Aunt Liu, she saw more real things after all. These things were impossible for her to see in the family before.

The real world can never be summarized by a few words in a book.

"Okay, Yan'er." Aunt Liu's voice was gentle and firm: "Didn't we agree on this before we came out? You will follow the caravan to gain experience and will never interfere with the operation of the caravan. Now that the decision to avoid it was made by the caravan's leaders, you have no reason to question it. Aunt Liu knows you are very angry, but this is what you want to understand, Yan'er! If you really understand it, then this is what Yan'er has gained from this trip."

A hint of relief flashed across Nangong Yan's clear eyes. She nodded and accepted Aunt Liu's consolation.

"Okay, Aunt Liu. I understand." Nangong Yan looked up outside the carriage. Through the window, she could see the row of carriages moving away along the official road. She took a deep look at the carriage that was guarded by the crowd, as if she wanted to remember it thoroughly.

She came out to gain experience this time to gain knowledge and experience the ways of the world, not to give orders. Since this experience was her own decision, no matter what the consequences were or how she felt, she had to immerse herself in it and experience it well.

"Let's just let it go this time! If we meet again next time, I will definitely not be polite!" The girl snorted lightly, with a coquettish look on her face.

Nangong Liu looked at Nangong Yan, with a trace of relief and satisfaction in her eyes. She could probably guess what Nangong Yan was thinking, but unlike other people in the family, this child was born with a rich and noble destiny. Being able to achieve this, she was already very satisfied.

"This child has really grown up."

Nangong Liu sighed and looked outside the carriage. Looking at the carriage of the Zhenfu Division going away, a hint of thought emerged in his eyes.

"One is close to the top, and the other is at the very top. Who could be sitting in this carriage?"

"Yu Heng's initial stage is complete?" Inside the carriage, Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed with surprise. When he passed by the caravan, he sensed the aura of a master.

Although the opponent's aura was hidden, it was like a bright light in front of him and could not be hidden. The opponent's aura was not bad, and his realm was only one step away from the middle stage of Yuheng. If we simply calculate, the opponent's combat power should be at the top level of the early stage of Yuheng. Even if he is not as good as Gu Qingchan, the Ice Soul Silver Needle, I am afraid he will never be inferior to Qu Zhaocheng of the North Star Fist.

In addition to this Yuheng Grandmaster, there was also a person who had reached the perfection of the middle realm of Xuanguang in the carriage. Who knew what kind of person he was to be able to ride in the same carriage with the Grandmaster! ?

"I didn't expect that I would meet a master on the way to take up my post. It's quite interesting."

Chen Pingan chuckled and stopped paying attention to the matter.

With his current strength, let alone the early stage of Yu Heng, even the ordinary middle stage of Yu Heng would not make him pay more attention. Now, the ones who can make him pay more attention are at least those old masters with powerful means and magical weapons.

His thoughts turned and returned to Gu Qingchan's interesting stories.

PS: I have been eating out a lot recently during the Chinese New Year, so the updates may be unstable in the next few days. But don't worry, brothers, I will definitely pay you back whatever I owe you.
