Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The next day.

King City.

Wang's Business.

After reading the information in his hand, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh that Jinshalou was quite capable.

It seems that if we want to get information, we have to look to these local tyrants and bullies.

During the night at Jinsha Tower, Zhao Xu was not in the mood to enjoy the warmth and softness of the woman.

After a sleepless night, as soon as it was dawn, he called everyone back to the city.

With Zhao Xu's current strength, it's no big deal for him to stay up all night for several days, but it's not possible for others.

Seeing everyone looking tired, Zhao Xu immediately told them to go down and rest.

After he finished his meditation and qigong training, he began to look at the information he brought back from Jinsha Tower.

Jinsha Tower indeed contains much more information.

The locations of the Zhuyi Guards and Liudaotang in Jingcheng, which Zhao Xu had not found before, were also listed.

The Zhuyi Guards never leave their main business. Apart from Jinsha Tower, Chunfeng Tower, the largest consumption place in Jingcheng, is their base.

Liudaotang is much more low-key, just an ordinary residence.

As the two most powerful intelligence agencies in An and Wu, they naturally received great attention from local forces like Jinshalou.

Jinshalou has a lot of intelligence, but most of it is local intelligence about the Nine Countries, and very little about other local forces.

But these are enough.

After all, this place is located in Anguo, one of the Nine Kingdoms. It is impossible for foreign forces to send a large number of people in. At most, they can send a few masters.

The main focus should be on the nine countries' forces.

The information from Jinsha Tower also confirmed Zhao Xu's idea.

Apart from the Zhuyi Guards and Liudaotang, there was no sign of large-scale movement of people in Jingcheng.

However, during this period, the Jinsha Gang discovered many martial arts masters working on Jingcheng Street.

There has been frequent personnel turnover in Zhuyiwei and Liudaotang recently.

Zhao Xu felt that high-level officials should be present from both sides.

There will be big moves surrounding the election of the leader of the Jinsha Gang.

"I just don't know who the two sides are coming from. Is there anyone I know?"

Zhao Xu was somewhat looking forward to the visitor. It would be great if it was the person in his memory.

In order to find out the situation, Zhao Xu decided to go to the base of the forces controlled by Jinsha Tower in the near future to find out the truth.

But before that, Zhao Xu wanted to meet the leader of the Jinsha Gang first.

He wanted to use this to force the three hall masters to reveal their cards and see the support behind them.

Time flies and it's noon.

After lunch, Zhao Xu was thinking about when to go to the Jinsha Gang headquarters.

A servant suddenly came to report: "Master Xu, Su Mingyu from the Nandu Chamber of Commerce is here to visit."

When Zhao Xu heard that Su Mingyu was coming to visit, he was stunned at first, but then he smiled and thought to himself:

"It would be better to meet Su Mingyu first."

The Su family and the Wang family both belong to foreign chambers of commerce, and the two sides have a good foundation for cooperation in Ningguo.

If we can cooperate with the Su family and advance and retreat together on the affairs of the Jinsha Gang, then we will have more bargaining chips.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xu ordered: "Please invite Master Su in."

The servant was about to turn around to do it when he suddenly heard a sound.

"Wait, has Butler Wang woken up?"

"Ah, Steward Wang woke up before lunch, and after lunch, he is dealing with some trivial matters of the business."

Zhao Xu saw that Wang Zhong had woken up and immediately said:

"Go and inform Steward Wang first and ask him to come see me immediately, and then go and invite Master Su in."

"Yes."

Zhao Xu waited in the main hall for a while when Wang Zhong hurried in.

"Master Xu, you are looking for me."

When Zhao Xu saw Wang Zhong, he did not exchange pleasantries, but immediately said, "Su Mingyu from the Nandu Chamber of Commerce is visiting. You have been to Ningguo, so come with me to receive him."

"Yes."

Wang Zhong immediately agreed to Zhao Xu's request.

The two of them quickly exchanged some information about the Nandu Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, two people were brought in by servants.

The leader was a young man about the same age as Zhao Xu, with a scholarly air, which made Zhao Xu feel instantly fond of him.

The young man was followed by a middle-aged man.

When Zhao Xu saw this person, his body instinctively tensed up and he muttered something in his heart.

"He's a master!"

Zhao Xu looked at the middle-aged man, and the other party seemed to sense it and looked over as well, and their eyes met.

When Wang Zhong saw the two men, he immediately took Zhao Xu to greet them, and the two sides immediately exchanged greetings.

Of course, it was mainly Wang Zhong who interspersed and introduced both parties.

Of the two people who came, the young man was Su Mingyu from the Su family, and the middle-aged man was Qian Rong, the chief steward of the Su family.

Wang Zhong and Qian Rong knew each other, and they introduced each other, so Zhao Xu and Su Mingyu quickly became familiar with each other.

After some discussion, the four returned to the main hall and sat down.

But after a moment, Zhao Xu spoke first:

"I see that Brother Su is about my age, and there is no sign of martial arts training on his body!"

When Su Mingyu heard Zhao Xu mention martial arts, he did not hide it and replied:

"Brother Zhao has a good eye. I have been weak and sickly since childhood and have been unable to practice martial arts. I have always regretted this. I can only change direction and read more books."

"Hahaha, reading is good. I also love reading. Brother Su is obviously a well-educated person. We can communicate more in the future."

Su Mingyu was delighted to hear that Zhao Xu was also a book lover.

After some casual chatting, Zhao Xu inadvertently got to the point.

"I have guessed the purpose of Brother Su's visit this time. I hope that the Su family can cooperate with the Wang family on the issue of the Jinsha Gang and advance and retreat together."

"Of course, when everything is settled, the Su family will get the same benefits."

Zhao Xu suddenly changed the topic and talked about business, which was beyond Su Mingyu's expectation.

After all, he was young and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only ask for help from the butler Qian Rong.

Looking at Su Mingyu's appearance, Zhao Xu knew that he must be well protected on a daily basis.

This time, it is the first time to do something on behalf of the family.

Zhao Xu has a good impression of such clean people.

I didn't want to make too many calculations, so I just went straight to the point and said:

"Brother Su, this is probably his first time to do something. The person who really makes the decision should be Butler Qian!"

Su Mingyu and Qian Rong did not expect Zhao Xu to be so straightforward.

However, seeing that Zhao Xu was frank, he felt relieved.

Seeing this, Qian Rong immediately took over the conversation.

"Young Master has a keen eye. This is indeed the first time for my young master to come out. He wants to practice and see the world."

Without waiting for anyone else to respond, Qian Rong suddenly changed the subject.

"As soon as I entered the room, I noticed an expert observing me. I think it was the young master!"

Seeing that Qian Rong had seen through him, Zhao Xu did not hide it.

"Yes, it's me."

"Butler Qian was able to find me, which shows that his cultivation is quite high!"

Seeing Zhao Xu admit it, Qian Rong smiled.

"Mr. Zhao, you and I are both martial artists. It's not common to see masters in the southern countries. Would you like to help me?"

When Zhao Xu heard Qian Rong say this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Right on my mind."

The conversation between the two left Su Mingyu and Wang Zhong confused.

Now they are actually going to take action. We were talking fine just now, why are we going to take action?

The development of things is often not controlled by human will.

The four of them soon arrived at the training ground where the company's guards usually trained.

At the same time, the news of the martial arts competition attracted the merchant company's guards and many servants.

As the two of them competed, everyone was excited but also a little worried.

Zhao Xu and Qian Rong quickly calmed everyone down.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's just a sparring match."
