Myriad Realms Summoning System

In the lobby on the first floor of Qianlong Inn, Xiao Wudao and Xiao Wufeng sat opposite each other, but there was an invisible smell of gunpowder between them.

"Second brother is quite quick. You came to Qianlong Inn just after the emperor issued the decree. It seems that second brother is the one who can best share the emperor's worries," Xiao Wufeng said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

The third prince, Xiao Wufeng, has the best reputation among the three princes. He is gentle, kind and courteous, and is well supported by the literati in the court.

"Hahaha, your royal brother is not slower than me! Everyone says that your third brother is indifferent to fame and fortune and has no desires. In my opinion, that's not entirely true. Your third brother is also a person who is willing to share our father's worries," Xiao Wudao was not so polite and started to mock.

Xiao Wudao is the most talented cultivator in the Xiao royal family, second only to Xiao Wuya. He had already reached the level of a six-star warrior at the age of eighteen.

Moreover, he is a generous person and is very supported by military generals. His influence is even greater than that of Xiao Wufeng.

Xiao Wufeng was very indifferent to Xiao Wudao's blunt sarcasm. He had long learned to hide his emotions, so it was impossible for Xiao Wudao to irritate him.

At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu and Yan Qing came to the hall.

"Sorry to have kept you two waiting."

When the two saw Yuwen Chengdu and Yan Qing coming, they quickly stood up and bowed to them, being very humble.

…

At this time, in a room on the second floor of Qianlong Inn, Xiao Chen and Jia Xu were standing by the window, watching the scene below.

"Wenhe, is it appropriate to let Yanqing and Yuwencheng serve two people respectively?" Xiao Chen stared at the four people who were talking below.

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said, "Since ancient times, the key to the struggle for the throne lies in military power. Military power is imperial power. This is an eternal theorem. As princes, they must know this."

"Therefore, as long as General Yuwen and Master Yanqing surrender to them, they will definitely do their best to gain military power for them. If they each take over a battalion of troops, their hope will be even greater."

"What if Xiao Tianci speaks up to stop us?" Xiao Chen asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, "Xiao Tianci can't control it. Being an emperor has too many restrictions after all!"

I have to say that if you have a strategist by your side, especially a top strategist, many things become very simple. You don't even have to think about them yourself, and they will be handled flawlessly.

However, Xiao Chen did not quite agree with Jia Xu's last sentence. Does being an emperor really have to have so many restrictions?

If this were the Chinese world, it would indeed be true, but this is the Tianluo Continent, a world where martial arts is respected, and some iron laws can be broken.

Xiao Chen did not bring up his idea in person, but asked: "Wenhe, do you think the other party will agree to the price we offer?"

When Yuwen Chengdu and Yan Qing went to find each other, Xiao Chen and Jia Xu agreed with them on the price of their loyalty: 500,000 spirit crystals per person.

Even though it’s only 500,000, it’s already equivalent to the total assets of a small family in Los Angeles.

One can imagine how valuable spirit crystals are.

Jia Xu teased, "Don't worry, sir. This price is not high at all for the royal family. They will feel that they have made a great profit by recruiting two super masters at a cost of only one million spirit crystals."

"Moreover, the more money they spend, the more at ease they feel. This is called spending money to buy peace of mind. People's minds are always so strange."

Jia Xu's words reminded Xiao Chen of the mentality of some consumers on Earth in his previous life.

Indeed, everyone subconsciously believes that cheap goods are not good, and they will feel at ease when buying expensive things.

It seems that Jia Xu is really as the world says, he likes to use strategies that go straight to people's hearts.

He is indeed a person who understands people's hearts.

Xiao Chen did not speak, and turned his gaze back to the negotiations that were nearing their end. If nothing unexpected happened, Yuwen Chengdu would eventually belong to Xiao Wudao, and Yan Qing would belong to Xiao Wufeng.

He suddenly had an idea and took out a red brocade bag from his storage ring and took out the third note from it.

There were only eight words written on it: Win over the hearts of the troops and great things will be accomplished.

Lin Qingming's strategy was exactly the same as Jia Xu's.

…

Lingyun Trading Company is the largest trading company in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Although it is only a branch of Lingyun Trading Company on the mainland, its financial strength is no less than that of the four major families. It is no exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country.

Lingyun Building of Lingyun Commercial Bank was also built into one of the most luxurious places in Los Angeles.

The entire Lingyun Building has three floors, each of which is dozens of meters high. The three floors add up to a hundred meters, which is no less than the skyscrapers of later generations.

In an exquisite room on the third floor of the business, a stunning beauty was playing the piano in front of the window.

Beautiful notes flowed slowly from the strings, sometimes high and passionate, like the sea water lapping against the coast at high tide, sometimes gentle and low, like the gentle breeze blowing through the green bamboo forest...

clang!

Suddenly the woman stopped what she was doing and the music of the piano stopped abruptly.

She didn't look back, but looked down at the beautiful scenery of the entire Los Angeles City and said lightly: "You are here!"

After a voice like the sound of orchids in a valley fell, a man gently opened the door and walked in.

The man was dressed in black, with a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a long sword in his arms.

The man was very handsome, especially the cold expression on his face, which added to his charm. But when he saw the woman's back, all the coldness on his face melted away, leaving only tenderness.

"Are you going on a mission again?" The woman did not look back at him, but asked calmly, as if she was asking a stranger.

"Yes," the man simply answered, looking at the woman's back. She was already used to such conversations.

"Is the task difficult to complete?" The woman asked a rare question, which caused a ripple in the man's heart.

She rarely asked about his mission!

The man replied: "It's difficult. I'm not completely sure."

"You can refuse. You don't need the money," the woman continued looking at the scenery outside the window.

The man shook his head and said, "But I can't refuse this price. I know you need money, so I want to save up enough money..."

"Okay, Duan Yijian, I said it's impossible for the two of us to be together," the woman interrupted the other.

This man turned out to be the famous super killer who could take away souls with one sword.

The woman who made him infatuated was Shangguan Qingmeng, the commercial queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was regarded as a daughter of heaven by countless people.

Duan Yijian was not angry at Shangguan Qingmeng's ruthless rejection. Instead, he smiled and said, "If I can survive, I will come to see you again."

After saying that, he opened the door and left the room.

Being a killer is a profession in which one may lose his life at any time. Even the most outstanding master may lose his life in the next moment.

So before every mission, Duan Yijian would come to see Shangguan Qingmeng, perhaps to say goodbye.

After Duan Yijian left, Shangguan Qingmeng stared at the magnificent Luocheng in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
