Chapter 199: British Nobles (Part 2)
Fernan took out a piece of silk and put the cross in a permaculture, then handed it to Xu Changqing reluctantly and said, "I hope Mr. Xu can keep it well and do not let it cause any damage."
"I will keep important goods properly, please rest assured by Mr. Earl." Xu Changqing took the cross and turned his hand to put it in his sleeve. This ancient magic became a sensational magic in Fernan's eyes, with a slight disdain in his eyes.
When Xu Changqing sent Fernan out of the study, Fernan suddenly made a request: "If anyone else found this stone before me, can Mr. Xu notify me in advance?"
Fernan already knew that the Western Holy See, the Cultivate and the European dark forces were all involved in this game of finding stones. He had no confidence in finding the stone before these major forces, so he could only find another way.
Xu Changqing looked at Fernan with a deep meaning, naturally knew his thoughts, and smiled and said, "It's OK, but I wonder what price Mr. Fernan is willing to buy such news?"
"A greedy oriental man? He just said that money was useless to him, but now he started talking about money again." Fernan cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent. He handed the Citibank note given to him by Chen Dejun and the contact method to Xu Changqing, saying, "I think this price should be appropriate, right?"
"Enough! Of course it's enough." Xu Changqing put two things in his pocket and reached out to Firnan and said, "I hope that in the near future, we will hear good news from each other."
"I hope so." Fernan tightly held Xu Changqing's hand, but his tone of speaking did not show any confidence.
After the whole banquet, all the guests returned with satisfaction. Xu Changqing handed over the promissory note of Fernan to Chen Dejun and asked him to invest all the money in the volunteer relief guild he had established before. After all, pure wishes were the only supplement to increase the strength of the Hunyuan Golden Body. After properly handling the matters of the Chen family, Xu Changqing moved to Chen Zhenshan's wharf like his two apprentices. During the day, he led two little guys to set up stalls to increase market experience. At night, he returned to the wharf and focused on teaching Chen Zhenshan some of the unique skills of the heretics.
While teaching Chen Zhenshan's unique skills, the eight generals under Chen Zhenshan also received guidance from Xu Changqing, and Chen Zhenshan gradually divided the power and territory in his hands to prepare for his departure. Chen Zhenshan's idea of collecting the mountain was known, and although he had persuaded him, he finally obeyed his wishes. In the eyes of these people, the Xinglong number was too small for Chen Zhenshan, the strong dragon, and he should have a broader future.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and the news that Chen Zhenshan was about to leave Xinglong quickly spread throughout the world. For a time, all forces were surging, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to take a bite of fat from Xinglong. However, just as these people were still dreaming of dividing Xinglong, the eight generals under Chen Zhenshan led their own direct troops to pick the three gangs that had been against them overnight. The strength they showed made everyone frightened, as if they were announcing to everyone that even without the Great Dragon King, Xinglong was still the largest water force on Shanghai.
While fighting for the powerful territory in the Shanghai world, the Wenmen's masters in the Longwang Temple area also fought against each other for their own interests. Originally, there were four forces in the Longwang Temple area to control the life master industry, including the blind faction, the Chinese Master Association and the Shanghai Waitang, which knows the destiny. The four forces each had their own guests and had peace. But just a few days ago, Lu Yizheng, the president of the Chinese Master Association, suddenly announced his resignation and hurriedly left Shanghai. For a time, there were constant disputes within the Chinese Master Association, and no one was convinced of anyone here, and the position of the association president was also vacant.
Just as the Chinese Association of Fate Masters was in constant internal struggle, several other forces snatched the Chinese Association of Fate Masters without hesitation, and soon the strength of the Chinese Association of Fate Masters plummeted. Later, some veteran figures also left one after another, and Lu Yizheng's disciples even took away some of the guests who originally belonged to the association, which was like adding insult to injury, making the Chinese Association of Fate Masters a small guild that was not as good as the class.
After hearing the news of Lu Yizheng's departure, Xu Changqing knew that the bait he had left had already made the fish take the bait, and in the end, there was only one dead end for Lu Yizheng. As for his hard work to establish the Chinese Association of Fate Masters, the day after he left Shanghai, he had already revealed the signs of decline. The ending was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
No. 47 Baliqiao Road is an old two-story building with red brick and cement outside and wooden frame structure inside. Since most of the wooden boards have aging, they always make a creaking noise when they step on it, and it feels like they are about to collapse at any time. This building was originally the residence of a foreign merchant, but later, because the foreign merchant lost all his money in Shanghai, he was sold to the gangster leader Qidiao, who made a living on Baliqiao Road. Little did he know that this Qidiao was under Chen Qimei, a member of the Tongmenghui, and this place naturally became an important stronghold of the Tongmenghui in Shanghai.
At night, a rickshaw parked in front of the door of No. 47 under dim lights and got out of the car. One of them was dressed in noble clothes and the other was a scholar in a long blue jacket, which looked extremely simple, which made the two of them look very incompatible.
After paying the fare, the rich man did not knock on the door immediately, but looked around, looking extremely alert, as if he was afraid that someone would follow him. The man standing beside him seemed to be very disdainful of the man's behavior, and smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no danger. Until then, the rich man felt relieved and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After three rounds of regular knocking techniques, the door slowly opened. A young man came out of the inside. When he saw the rich man, he immediately showed joy. He quickly opened the door and let the two outside the house go in. Then he stretched his head out vigilantly and looked out before closing the door.
