Chapter 369: A Multi-Billion Dollar Business, and You Didn’t Even Ask the Owner’s Name?
other side.
After Duan Qian left the teahouse, he returned to his residence.
After carefully checking to make sure no one had come in, he took out a scroll and activated it, then stepped into the fixed portal in front of him.
The next moment, the person appeared in a dim corridor.
On the four walls, in addition to the magic circle used to shield detection, there are also many moonlight fluorite inlaid on it, emitting a soft light.
There are six branches at the end of the corridor, and you don't know where they lead.
But Duan Qian did not enter any of them, but came to an inconspicuous place and quietly activated the runes on the wall.
Immediately afterwards, a seventh branch appeared.
"Every time I come back, it takes a long time!"
"Well, our ancestors were also cautious enough. They created so many blind killing formations. They have not been activated once for more than two hundred years..."
He muttered softly and stepped into the tunnel, the only way to survive.
In the next half hour, the above operations were repeated again. After going through multiple levels, I finally got out of the darkness.
What comes into view is a huge valley filled with birdsong and flowers!
There are endless cliffs on all sides, and even the sky is covered by mountains. Only some holes allow light to flow in.
The entire valley is more like a hollow land in the mountains.
There are many houses here, and people come and go, enjoying themselves.
On the road in the middle, a group of mining warriors happened to return. The huge jade basket was full of "Meteor Black Extreme Crystal Sand".
"Hey, Qianqian is back! Didn't he just go out not long ago?" Someone greeted him.
"Hello Aunt Liu! I have something to do when I come back!"
Duan Qian replied cheerfully, then sped up and ran towards the center of the valley.
In order to clear the inventory, Grandpa and the others were worried.
As soon as I went out this time, I immediately made a big deal, which absolutely shocked everyone!
With this thought in his mind, Duan Qian became more and more looking forward to it.
A smile appeared unconsciously on his thin face.
"Squeak——"
He pushed open the door of Grandpa's courtyard and immediately found that there were many middle and high-ranking members of the clan inside.
Before he could speak, his father scolded him: "You are neither a man nor a woman, you are so imprudent, how unbecoming it is! You are forced to stand on the sidelines!!"
Although he wanted to report the good news immediately, he still stood aside honestly.
In my ears, I heard many powerful family members discussing:
"..."
"It's impossible not to relocate! It's too dangerous!"
"Yes, since the 'ominous disaster' occurred in Yinping Ridge, the beast tides in the Mogu Mountains have become much more frequent! In just one month, there have been three outbreaks near us."
"The beast tide is okay. We can use natural barriers to defend it. The key is the 'big guy'."
Hearing those three words, everyone's eyes showed fear.
Duan Qian, who was not far away, knew that the so-called 'big guy' was the rumored 'ominous disaster'.
Or rather...
The real 'big guy' is what's under the ground. He saw it with his own eyes at the source of Liusha River.
The ones that appear in the Mogu Mountains are already hundreds or thousands of times smaller.
But still terrifyingly strong.
"Are we really going to move? Our clan has thrived here for nearly three hundred years and has nothing to do with the world..."
A clan elder looked worried and said thoughtfully: "Nowadays, there are wars everywhere outside, and there is no peace wherever you go."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone continued: "Go back to Daxia. Our ancestors are all veterans of the frontier army. We all felt regret before we died and kowtowed several times in the direction of Tianshu City."
"Get back to me!"
"The eight great aristocratic families extorted excessive taxes and centralized and monopolized power. They didn't give the low-level warriors a way to survive. They will be used as human beings when they return!"
The one who started to curse was a one-eyed old man with a very excited expression.
After scanning the crowd, his tone softened a little, "Going back to Daxia is a dead end! If you ask me, it's better to stay here! After all, beast tides have happened from time to time in the past two hundred years, so haven't they all come here? ?”
The clan elder who spoke earlier shook his head and retorted: "This time is different, there is turmoil underground. And everyone knows that there is a Tyrant Society in Daxia, which is different from before..."
"..."
Listening to everyone's quarrel, Duan Qian just felt bored.
Recently, many relevant meetings have been held, and no one can convince anyone.
Just when he was bored, the great-grandfather sitting in the first place waved his hand, and everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Be prepared..."
"First, get rid of the hoarded "Meteor Black Extreme Crystal Sand" as soon as possible."
"Second, send out a few teams to check out various areas outside, collect intelligence first, and then make a final decision."
The old man's prestige is still very high.
He made the final decision and finally ended the long-running dispute!
Hearing this, Duan Qian couldn't wait any longer.
That's it now!
It’s time to tell the good news!
He took a deep breath, strode out, and tried to pretend to be calm: "Ahem, um, I have something I want to tell you..."
The inexplicable behavior stunned many clan elders who were preparing to leave.
All the puzzled eyes fell on Duan Qian.
Duan Guyan, the leader, frowned and scolded: "Didn't you go outside to practice? Why are you back!? If you fart, hurry up!"
As if he didn't scold me enough, he stared again and said: "Ancestor, I have eighteen great sons, seventy-nine great grandchildren, and my great-great-grandchildren are almost three hundred. You are the only girl who acts like a mother all day long." You’re a man! Are you full?”
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly felt strange.
Many clan elders had expressions of laughter on their faces.
In their clan, men are prosperous and women are extremely rare. Duan Qianqian is definitely loved by thousands of people.
Whatever you want is available!
There is no other way, just this one girl, hundreds of brothers are vying to dote on her.
"Grandpa!"
"You...have gone too far!"
Duan Qianqian was a little embarrassed. After glaring at the old man, he thought to himself: Wait! Make you look good now!
After clearing her throat, she raised her head and said calmly: "Grandpa, I have already finished the inventory cleaning you just mentioned."
After the words fell, the scene was quiet for a while, and then everyone said their own words.
Apparently no one believed it.
"Really!"
Duan Qianqian was anxious and said quickly: "Didn't I go out to practice today? I happened to meet a person who bought "Falling Ink Extreme Crystal Sand", so I discussed business with him."
Quiet.
Deadly quiet.
The smiles on the faces of many Duan family elders seemed to have frozen, and something was gradually wrong in their eyes.
Duan Guyan asked in a deep voice: "Where did the other party come from, and how much did he want to buy from you?"
Duan Qianqian said proudly: "A man from Yanhuang's hometown bought 170,000 tons at a time! He is really rich, and he provides help in times of need!!"
Bang!
Somewhere in the seat, her father stumbled and almost fell.
Looking at those clear eyes that revealed stupidity, Duan Guyan took a deep breath and said, "You told people that we have 170,000 tons?"
Duan Qianqian's eyes flashed with confusion: "Yes, isn't it clearing out the inventory? It's so convenient to sell out all at once!"
"If you were the Youdu military, what would you do after learning this news?"
"Of course it will be confiscated. If you don't accept it, you will be destroyed..."
Duan Qianqian was stunned, and his whole figure was frozen like a statue.
At Duan Guyan's request, with a trembling voice, she recounted the conversation with Lu Chen.
A few minutes later——
The hanging hearts of many clan elders finally died.
There is only one thought in my mind: hundreds of years of foundation are going to be destroyed in one fell swoop!
Duan Qianqian explained all the details without even using any clichés.
It's like publicly saying: I am a drug lord.
What's more important is that Duan Qianqian didn't even ask Lu Chen's name for a big business worth tens of billions...
The elders of many tribes are pondering more and more.
My heart becomes colder.
Someone said in a deep voice: "I'll go solve the problem. I hope it's not too late."
The old man shook his head, "Youdu's military is outside. Killing people will not solve the problem, it will only speed it up."
After a moment of silence, he added: "It's hard to tell whether the other party is good or evil. After all, Qianqian came back very easily and was not tricked. Let me go out in person..."
"Initiate an emergency plan within the clan and implement it immediately if there is any sign!"
…
After a while.
Duan Guyan and Duan Qianqian went to the secret passage together.
"Grandpa, I..."
"Don't worry about it. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that... we are just a family and we cannot afford to lose, so we must be careful."
