The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

　　 The sun is rising.

　　 Warm and Hee.

　　 It’s just that Master Zhao suddenly felt that the morning breeze also seemed a bit cold.

　　 "I heard it occasionally." Master Zhao paused and said, "It is rumored that he has a secret decree to come for the matter of today's son, and this matter is very important."

　　 "What's the matter?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"This is a secret." Master Zhao shook his head slightly and said: "The old man only heard the mentor of the year when he went to Beijing last year. He mentioned a few words, but he didn't know much. Besides, the secret matter of the court, you just Merchants still don’t know what to do, and even if the old man really knows, he dare not tell you. This is a leak. If you really want to talk about it, it might be a disaster for the family."

"Master Zhao..." Zhuang Ming sighed, "If you are unwilling to tell you frankly, if Zhuang is down, this prince Chen will inevitably implicate you, and the disaster is not small. You have also said that , We are already grasshoppers on a rope. We are mutually beneficial and get what we want. Do you always think that if you stand on the sidelines and watch the collapse of our Zhuang business, you will not be damaged?"

　　 "You..." The old man's expression changed, and he vaguely heard a bit of threat.

"Zhuang's actions in the Sixteenth Mansion of Huai'an over the years, as long as you ask for everything, you are not a boast, you are not unfamiliar with this." Zhuang Ming slowly said: "He is powerful, it is certainly difficult. It's a match, but if I can know the main appointment of Lord Chen here, I might be able to use this to smooth out the calamity, so that you and us can live in peace as usual and share the benefits equally."

"All the time, you have never missed anything." Mrs. Zhao hesitated and said: "But this matter is secret after all. The old man only knows a thing or two. I have to find another way. From my teacher, maybe A little insight..."

　　 "What does Master Zhao need, come and invite this Zuoxiang to speak?" Zhuang Ming said: "As long as I need it, I will find it in the Zhuang family firm."

　　 "What is needed, I'll talk later." Master Zhao raised his head and said: "The time is almost here, and the old man should go back. As for this matter... Within three days, the old man will definitely try his best to find out."

　　 "Okay." Zhuang Ming ordered: "Lu He, you get one for Master Zhao."

　　 "Yes." Lu He responded in a low voice.

　　——

　　 noon.

　　 At Zhuang Ming's order, Shuang Ling took a branch of Polygonum multiflorum from the storeroom, which was thick in color and almost human.

It cost a hundred taels when he first harvested this branch of Polygonum multiflorum, but with Zhuang Ming’s Zhen Qi induction, he could detect the medicinal power contained in it, which was really rich. In his heart, it was a thousand taels of silver, which was also very good value for money. .

　　The young dragon gradually swallowed, and then gradually refined.

　　 In the past two days, the young dragon has been able to speak, can directly swallow and refine, and its growth rate has increased many times than before.

　　 "Six years of development, and time and time, it barely grows."

　　 "Since the young dragon spoke, I have been able to clearly sense the progress of the daily growth and the consumption of all kinds of strange things."

　　 "When it comes to body shape, it is almost at a growth rate that is visible to the naked eye, and it is constantly improving."

　　 "As long as I can continue to feed this dragon with precious spiritual objects every day, I can stabilize my initial cultivation level within this month and try to reach the middle level."

"With the treasures of heaven, material and earth that I have accumulated in the past six years, such a daily continuous feeding can support until the end of next year, and there will be no empty space. And in the autumn of this year, I can grow to this level of consummation, comparable to the triple martial arts. The level of the Dao Yin peak."

　　 "I just want to dissolve the flood, it seems like a step away, but this step, like a world of difference, is still far away."

　　 "Even if the family background of my Chuang's firm can sustain the consumption of heaven, materials and treasures for many years, I am afraid that it will take 20 to 30 years before there is hope."

　　 "If the Chuang's firm collapses, without the help of these treasures that contain spiritual energy, just relying on daily slurping and breathing, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, I am afraid that there will be no hope of turning floods in this life.

　　 Zhuang Ming gently caressed the young dragon, whispering in his heart: "No wealth is not enough to raise the Tao..."

　　 It is precisely because of this, no matter what kind of resistance he faces, his Zhuang firm must smash the obstacles, continue to develop and grow, expand its power, recruit people, gather money, and search for more treasures.

　　If the Zhuang family's firm collapsed, it would be difficult to cultivate this ancient true dragon in one lifetime only by his own strength.

　　——

　　 late at night.

　　 Chuang's firm, the situation gradually stabilized.

　　 Song Tianyuan’s disaster, completely calmed down.

　　 It's just that the silence at this time feels like a storm.

　　 This prince Chen, although he didn't move, the oppression he brought was like a sharp sword hanging on the head of the Chuang's firm, and he did not know when he would fall down.

　　 "My son, it's almost time for you to go to bed." Shuang Ling brought the soup, looked at the frowning and contemplative Zhuang Ming, and looked at the pale and thin cheeks of the son. Can't help but feel distressed.

　　 "Maybe something."

　　 Zhuang Ming waved his hand. In front of him, there were dozens of pages full of words. It was his clear division of the current situation.

　　 On the skylight, it is Zhuang Ming's heart that separates his mind into two functions. With the body of a young dragon, facing the bright moon, he breathes and breathes, thereby increasing his cultivation.

　　 Shuang Ling looked at the paper on the table, and saw Zhuang Ming who had been fading over the past two days, and couldn't help but whispered: "Is the son still worried about the hostility of the king of the different name?"

　　 Zhuang Ming chuckled, put down his pen, took a sip of the soup, and said, "That's fine."

　　 Shuangling heard the words, and immediately said: "I think this prince Chen is not a smart person. With the wisdom and planning of the son, why bother so much?"

　　 Zhuang Ming smiled dumbly when he heard the words, "Why don't you see that he is not smart enough?"

Shuang Ling said: "At the beginning, the prince sent someone secretly to help the government to fight against private salt sales, which caused the Chen Wangye to suffer, but he did not find the head of the Zhuang business. Later, Song Tianyuan found out. , Told him, it can be seen that this prince Chen and his staff and advisers are mostly inferior to Song Tianyuan's wisdom. In these days, even Song Tianyuan’s calculations can’t help but get the son. On the contrary, he took his own life in. This wise plan is still inferior to Song Tianyuan's different surname. Why does he bother the son so much?"

Zhuang Ming put down the bowl, with a slight admiration in his eyes, and said: "You girl, you can already see many things. She is really clever and wise, but she can see it in a shallow way. You must understand that this king with a different surname may not be as good as Song. Tian Yuan is smart, but he is more threatening than Song Tianyuan."

　　 Shuang Ling was startled, and said: "A bigger threat?"

Zhuang Ming sighed lightly: "He is in a high position, and he has power that Song Tianyuan does not have. He is in charge of the 16th Palace in Huai'an and can mobilize the power of the government at will, and his arbitrary order is set off in the 16th Palace in Huai'an. The storm that arises is more threatening to us than Song Tianyuan’s ten tricks carefully planned."

　　 "Even if I plan again and think well, but he only needs to issue a decree with a single thought, and the government's pressure is enough to make me work hard."

　　 "This is one force drop for ten meetings."

　　——

　　 early morning.

　　 Fengcheng.

　　 The warehouse of Zhuang's firm is located.

　　 Liu Quan led twelve people to come here.

　　 The people in the warehouse are already busy in the middle of the night, loading the goods into the truck and preparing to deliver them to Liu Quan's escort.

　　 "Wu Guanshi, long time no see."

"Liu Quan." The middle-aged steward laughed and stroked his beard: "Recently, Master Lu has done a lot of things under the orders of the master. You and Master Lu have made a lot of contributions. I heard that Master Lu taught again. Thanks to your set of kung fu, this time I also got a lot of silver rewards, but it is very rich. Yesterday at noon, your old lady was very happy and said that you are promising. It is no longer the street that relied on blood and bravery in previous years. The lane is rascal, and he is still discussing with my aunt about buying a piece of land."

　　 The Lu Ye in his mouth is Lu He.

　　 According to the classification of Zhuang's firm, Liu Quan can be regarded as one of Lu He's men.

Guanshi Wu and Liu Quan are also in the same hometown. This kid has a bit of brute force since he was a child. When he was a boy, he learned a few tricks, but the family was poor and there was no craftsmanship to support the family. In the past few years, the poor became so poor. Sneak at the dog, blocked the road and robbed.

　　 "It's all due to the kindness of the son, and I gave it an errand, otherwise I may be robbed on the road now, and I may be caught by the government and cut my head someday."

　　 Liu Quan laughed, and said, "Don't gossip, this car is almost packed?"

Guan Shi said hehe, "It's almost done, but we got up in the middle of the night and worked, unlike your servant, who slept on the kang with the wife for a whole night, I am afraid that my feet will be empty. If I can't carry the goods, I See how you explain."

When 　　 said this, the dozen or so people next to him couldn't help laughing out loud.

　　 Liu Quan rolled his eyes, and said, "Stop teasing me and do business first."

Manager Wu took out the list and said, "You have to check this beforehand. There are four cars in total. They will be delivered to Jiangcheng today. These two cars belong to the Dongfang store, and the two cars are Xifang and Nanfang. Same, look carefully."

　　 Liu Quan glanced, nodded and said, "Okay, it should be delivered before the sun goes down."

　　 Guan Shi Wu was about to continue talking, but he heard a thud.

　　 The door was knocked open!

　　 Liu Quan and others were on alert, and they pulled out their swords.

　　 Especially Liu Quan, with the knife in his hand, lowered his body slightly, and made a horse-stride, forming a posture with a knife at all times.

　　 After he entered the Zhuang's firm, Lu He saw that he had good qualifications. Over the past year or so, he has taught him three sets of kung fu, a set of footwork, a set of swordsmanship, and the handwork he has just learned after this time.

　　 "What are you doing?"

　　 Just outside the gate, a group of people swaggered in.

　　 This group of people are all dressed in official yamen's clothes, and they wear official-style steel knives.

　　 was the first person, his eyes were cold, he looked at Liu Quan and the others who had the knife out of the sheath, and shouted: "Do you want to rebel?"

　　 Manager Wu's heart jumped and he quickly looked at Liu Quan.

　　 Liu Quan stretched out his hand and gestured to his companion to retract the knife into its sheath before looking at the person coming.

　　 Guan Shi Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Shen Sir, why are you here? If you don't say hello in advance, you still have such a big battle?"

　　 This so-called Lord Shen, named Shen Chong, is a general under Lord Zhao of Fengcheng, responsible for the defense and theft of Fengcheng.

　　 Over the years, Chuang's firm has given a lot of benefits. Master Zhao ate meat, Master Shen also drank some soup more or less.

　　 Therefore, the managers of the Zhuang firm in Fengcheng have always been acquainted with Master Shen Chong who has the power to mobilize Fengcheng officers and soldiers.

　　 But this time, Shen Chong looked cold and said: "I have come here with my order, where my duties are, I will offend this time."

　　 Guan Shi Wu was stunned, and said hurriedly: "Shen Master, you are..."

　　 Shen Chong said: "Huai'an Sixteenth Government strictly investigates prohibited items and tax details. My order ~www.wuxiahere.com~ is to strictly investigate all prohibited items in Fengcheng."

Guanshi Wu quietly stuffed some money, and said with a smile: "Master Shen joked, we have been dating for so many years, and you are not ignorant of the Zhuang firm. We always abide by the laws of the Dongsheng dynasty. How can it be possible to hide prohibited things? "

　　 Shen Chong did not take the silver this time, but said in a deep voice, "Is there any prohibition? If you say it, we will count it."

After 　　 finished speaking, he saw him stretch out his hand and waved and shouted: "Search!"

　　 Seeing these officials, they rushed forward.

　　 And the current officials have to take apart the goods just loaded.

　　 "Wait...this truck of goods can be loaded overnight, but the shops in Jiangcheng are all in a hurry."

　　 Guan Shi hurriedly said: "It's in the warehouse, you can check it out. Just watch these trucks, so don't unload them."

Shen Chong looked complicated and said, "Don’t use it in a hurry. All the stores and warehouses of your Zhuang's firm in the sixteenth mansion of Huai’an, hundreds of cities, will be sealed up today. From now on, all goods cannot be imported or exported. After the investigation is clear, the prince has ordered it to be solved."

Having said this, he suddenly approached, his expression as usual, but his speech pressure was low, and he sighed in a low voice, "Now the biggest official in Fengcheng is not Mr. Zhao. It is Prince Chen, Shen Moujie, a low-ranking official. There is no way to disobey the prince’s order, only offend..."

　　——

　　 The next day, morning.

　　 Luhe’s emergency report broke the tranquility of the morning.

　　 is also like the arrival of wind and rain, breaking the depressed tranquility during these two days.

　　 "Finally... I shot it."

　　 Zhuang Ming slowly exhaled, and said: "Fortunately, his move, I also anticipated last night, and it has not exceeded my thinking."
