Sir Yao, upon hearing this, hurriedly waved his hand. Lord Cheng, please do not act in such a way. At present, Young Master Sun is still in Yundu City. He has set his eyes on the beautiful women there. We must not act abruptly against Master Zhang, otherwise Young Master Sun's plan to take a concubine will fail. He will come back and cause trouble with you. What should you do, Lord Cheng?
Hearing Master Yao's words, Ye Tian asked himself why he was hesitating. This matter was indeed not as simple as it seemed. Who could have known that his grandson had set his sights on the women of Yundu City? If he didn't lower his head, it was impossible. Who could have known that his grandson wasn't capable? There was no choice but to lower his head. Well, for the sake of his grandson, he would no longer speak ill of you in front of Huang Zeng Tian, the supreme elder. If you don't understand this, don't blame me for being harsh! Send a messenger immediately to assist Young Master Sun in completing the wedding ceremony in Yundu City. Also prepare a generous gift to give to Lord Cheng, hoping that he would help Qiu Yang get married considering their colleagues' faces!
Hearing this, Master Yao hurriedly nodded, "I'll go arrange it right away!"
Master Ye nodded, "This is the best solution. I think it would be suitable for Commander Duan to go."
After thinking it over, Master Yao finally nodded in agreement!
Master Ye saw that Master Yao looked reluctant, "Do you have any conflict with Commander Duan?"
Master Yao quickly waved his hand, "I have no conflict with Commander Duan. I just feel that sending Commander Duan to Yundu City is not quite suitable. Since our Xingluo City's strength lies mainly with the city lord and Commander Duan, dispatching Commander Duan would expose our strength. Now is a good opportunity for us to conceal our strength. Once everyone in our city surpasses those in Yundu City, we can then display our true strength. Would we fear that the thousand general of Yundu City's strength exceeds that of our Commander Duan? That is absolutely impossible. Therefore, I think we should still be more low-profile and send an assistant commander instead. There is no need for such a grand display!"
Master Ye nodded upon hearing this. "Master Yao makes a good point. I think this approach is suitable. Let them not understand our true strength and then we will make our move at the critical moment. Let the people of Yundu City be happy first, and then they will know what kind of gap exists!"
After thinking for a moment, "Lord Cheng, I will go and arrange it!"
Master Ye nodded upon hearing this, "I will entrust this matter entirely to you. If you handle it well, there will be a reward! Go ahead and handle it!"
Master Yao walked out of Master Ye's office and went straight to the military camp.
When he saw Master Yao coming to the military camp, Duan Fenglin quickly bowed and greeted him. "What wind brings Master Yao here to my camp? If there is anything important to say, please speak directly!"
Master Yao quickly shook his head, "Commander Duan, you are not aware of the situation. The grandson of the City Lord has encountered some trouble in Yundu City. The City Lord originally wanted to send you there, but I stopped him. Firstly, you are our most skilled expert in Xingluo City, second only to the City Lord. You can only serve as our secret weapon. If we don't help Young Master when he is in trouble, the City Lord will definitely fight against Yundu City. When that happens, Commander Duan will surely break Yundu City without any doubts!"
Duan Fenglin felt like the main character. Since Master Yao has said this, then I will arrange for Assistant Commander Chang to go instead!
Master Yao nodded upon hearing this, "Then please go according to the commander's orders. The matter has been completed, and I will go back to report and prepare for the next task!"
Duan Fenglin stood up and expressed his respect as he saw Master Yao off. "I feel that hiding our strength may not be quite suitable. After all, we are the reliable officers under the supreme elder and also the strongest force among the ten cities under Huang Zeng Tian's jurisdiction, namely Xingluo City!"
Master Yao nodded, "I'll go back to report this immediately. You can send Assistant Commander Chang with the gifts to Yundu City!"
Duan Fenglin immediately called for Assistant Commander Chang and relayed the task to him. "Now, you can lead the people to Yundu City!"
Assistant Commander Chang immediately bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Sir. I will fulfill my mission and bring Young Master Sun and the young lady back together!"
Duan Fenglin immediately ordered the troops and designated commanders to accompany Assistant Commander Chang in their journey to Yundu City!
Qiu Yang Liang was drinking in the wine house, his mood wasn't too good either. The servant suddenly knocked on the door. He shouted, "Come in!"
The servant hurriedly reported, "Young Master, we have just received a message from Xingluo City. Assistant Commander Chang has arrived with gifts to visit Master Zhang, requesting his assistance in completing Young Master's wedding."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yang immediately perked up. I knew my grandfather wouldn't ignore it. Master Zhang, this time I'll see if you're going to do the right thing or not. Is it just because you didn't prepare a gift for me? If that's the case, you can tell me, and I'll have someone send it over. Why make me guess? Is that fun? If you accept the gift but still don't do anything useful, I will have my grandfather complain about you in front of Huang Zeng Tian, the supreme elder. Don't think you're too important. In front of Huang Zeng Tian, you're far behind my grandfather. If it weren't for my interest in Xiao Yawen, I wouldn't have asked for your help. When people are under someone else's roof, they have to bow their heads. To get Xiao Yawen, I've endured it and let you have your moment of glory this time. Once I get the beauties in hand, I'll have my grandfather speak ill of you to Huang Zeng Tian and show you who can be wronged and who can't be wronged!
Master Zhang, Guard Liu, Huang Dao Ling, Qian Xiao Yong and others arrived at Xianke Lai. They sat together.
Master Zhang looked at everyone and said, "Today, I invite you all to have a meal together. There are two important announcements to make. Firstly, regarding Young Master Qiu's interest in Xiao Yawen, you all know that Xiao Yawen has been engaged to Mo Wenjie before. Moreover, Mo Wenjie and General Qian are brothers-in-law. Therefore, I will certainly not speak up for Young Master Qiu on this matter. Even if Huang Zeng Tian, the supreme elder, intervenes, I will not compromise and let my subordinates feel cold-hearted! The second announcement is about the future of Yundu City. For many years now, the strength of our city has been at the bottom. In the past, we were powerless to change things. However, things are different now. General Qian's brother-in-law Mo Wenjie is a senior alchemist. If he finds high-grade ingredients, he can help us refine high-grade pills for us. Therefore, I have decided to offer a high bounty for finding rare ingredients needed to create high-grade pills. If any of you have any suggestions or opinions about this matter, please feel free to speak up!"
Huang Dao Ling nodded and gave a look to Qian Xiao Yong upon hearing this. "This matter should be discussed by General Qian, as he is Mo Wenjie's sworn brother. His words carry the most weight. Although we are all familiar with Mo Wenjie, it's not appropriate for us to comment without being well-acquainted with him!"
Liu Servant nodded in agreement, "What Huang Official said is true. As General Qian's sworn brother, it is the most appropriate for him to handle this matter. With him involved, the chances of success will be high. I have no objections!"
Master Zhang looked at General Qian, "What do you think, General Qian?"
General Qian looked at them all and saw that they were all experienced foxes. "Since you all have said so, I will not ask for more benefits on behalf of my sworn brother," he said. "Master Cheng knows that my sworn brother is a master alchemist, but it's very difficult to find high-grade ingredients for him to refine high-grade pills. If we can obtain the ingredients, I can definitely help him do so. However, without the ingredients, how can he refine the pills? This is just empty talk!"
Master Zhang looked at everyone, "I share the same thoughts. However, where are we supposed to obtain the precious ingredients? Who among you has any leads? Regardless of who it is, as long as they can acquire the valuable ingredients, money is not an issue. We will pay whatever it takes. The important thing is that the ingredients are authentic."
Huang Dao Ling shook his head upon hearing this. "City Lord, I think this matter should be left to Mo Wenjie to handle. After all, he is the alchemist; only he knows whether the ingredients are qualified. We have no way of knowing if the ingredients are genuine, and even if we buy them, they may not be effective. Therefore, I personally believe that we can give the money to Mo Wenjie so that he can purchase them. This way is absolutely foolproof!"
Liu Servant immediately responded, "What Huang Official said is very true. City Lord, let Mo Wenjie handle this matter. Money is not a problem, as we need the pill to enhance our strength. As for the money, we will definitely not withhold it. Please let Mo Wenjie handle this matter, and we will have no objections!"
Master Zhang nodded at everyone, "I share the same thoughts. Since you all have no objections, then I will have General Qian go and discuss with Mo Wenjie to see how much money is needed to refine high-grade pills. We will directly provide the funds!"
Hearing this, General Qian looked at everyone and shook his head. "City Lord and all my colleagues, obtaining the high-grade pills to enhance strength is indeed not easy, as the ingredients are extremely precious and not ordinary. Therefore, the price will definitely not be low. Well, I can't let my sworn brother Mo Wenjie ask for an exorbitant price just because of our relationship. Let's invite the president of the Alchemy Association over to ask him about the prices of high-grade pill ingredients!"
Master Zhang nodded upon hearing this, "Then let's send someone to invite President Du Qiaokang over. He can tell us the basic price, and we will give that amount to Mo Wenjie to help us find the ingredients for high-grade pills!"
Huang Dao Ling nodded, "City Lord, you are wise. We certainly won't be stingy about this. After all, it's about enhancing our own strength. As long as there's a price, I will definitely pay it!"
Liu Servant smiled upon hearing this, "Huang Official wants to enhance our strength. Who doesn't want to? If all of our strengths improve, the Supreme Elder Huang Zeng Tian will definitely give us more benefits. Why does Xingluo City look more powerful than us? It's because they have more resources! The stronger one's strength is, the more influence one has in front of the Supreme Elder. This is a common sense. I also hope that my strength will improve immediately!"
Master Zhang looked at General Qian and said, "General Qian, you have also heard what everyone wants. This is what we all desire. I hope that when President Du arrives, he can estimate the price of the precious ingredients, and I will ask you to intervene and request Mo Wenjie to help us find and purchase the ingredients for high-grade pills. Let's quickly enhance our overall strength in Yundu City!"
Hearing Master Zhang's words, General Qian said, "City Lord, how can I dare not listen to your command? As long as we offer a reasonable price, I guarantee that my brother Mo Wenjie will help everyone refine the pills!"
The messenger from the City Lord's Mansion reported: "The President, Du Qiaokang, has arrived!"
