Generally speaking, the headquarters of martial arts families are not in the capital. This seems to be a common practice. Maybe they also feel that the capital is too close to the royal family. They feel very unfree when they are there, so

These guys all put their homes in a place not too close to the capital. This place is not too far from Xinjiangning City, which is only more than three thousand miles. Li Cong returned home once before going there.

, the things on his body are a bit unsightly. Such a family will either not speak, or if they do speak, they will be a big deal. Moreover, Li Cong also felt that he might not be able to deal with them, so he asked Gu Xin to go with him.

Yes, the stewards in this family are all minding their own business right now, and Gu Xin is on vacation. It would be a shame for such a person if he doesn't catch a young man.

Gu Xin just got married to his cousin. This boy is considered lucky. His wife died. His aunt felt sorry for this guy's two children. She was afraid that if she found another stepmother, it would be bad for the children, so she

He decided to marry his little daughter to this boy as a house filler. This boy is already forty after all, but this little girl is only eighteen years old. This boy is really very lucky. Normally, what should he do when he is newlywed?

He said that he couldn't drag others out to work at this time, but he had no choice. Basically, the other people were not at home. If he went to find them temporarily, he wouldn't trust them, so he could only go to Gu in person.

Xin's family apologized to Gu Xin's elders. Although Gu Xin's life was pretty good in the past, it was incomparable compared to now. Everyone in the family also knew that this kid was with

The reason why it was so good was because of the Cao family, so the whole family was really flattered by Li Cong's arrival. When they heard that Li Cong was going to do something very important with Gu Xin, they all wanted to rush him out.

, there is something going on in my family, there is nothing. Our whole family relies on the Cao family to live. If we don’t run errands for the Cao family well, we will really not be able to live in the future. This is definitely true.

of.

"Haha. This is really not the right thing to do. After I finish the work, you can go back and have a good rest for a few days. You two go out for a walk with your brothers and sisters. The chamber of commerce will give you an airship. You can go there if you want.

You can go anywhere." Li Cong saw Gu Xin looking at the scenery outside in a daze. He thought this guy was homesick. He said with a smile. Thinking about it, he was really a bad guest. The young couple was not warm enough.

Come here, I have brought her here right now. Although the bride was very happy just now, it is hard to say what she is thinking. The eighteen-year-old girl is at the time when she is tired.

well....

"What did the young master say? Gu Xin knew from the day he worked for the young master that the young master's affairs were the most important thing. In the past, I would have immediately helped the young master, but this time I felt that things were not very good.

The main thing is that the Ouyang family is a martial arts family. We have never had any dealings with such a family. Although the Tuoba family was like this in the past, the Tuoba family was more like a secular family.

Most of the aristocratic families will look at problems in terms of interests, but these martial arts families are different. Their face is very serious. They hate to have anything to do with business families like ours. It seems like they are with

They will be embarrassed if we interact with him. I'm afraid that I will do the wrong thing for him when I follow him this time, which will be bad." Gu Xin said with some worry. This is indeed the case. Looking at Li Cong's appearance,

Knowing that the things he was going to do this time were definitely not small, he was not as optimistic as Li Cong. These martial arts families were definitely not small, and they were not all easy to get along with.

"I have also thought about this problem. It is indeed not easy to deal with. However, the ancient book I need is currently only available in their home. Even if other people have it in their home, I don't know. If this happens to me,

If I could wait, I wouldn't provoke such a guy, but now it's time to push forward. If I don't get this thing, I will regret it in the future. Let's put it this way, he just wants my Cao Family Trading Company.

I might give this guy one-third of the industry in the Northern Empire." Li Cong's words shocked Gu Xin. One-third of the industry in the Northern Empire? What a huge industry this is.

You must know that the Cao Family Commercial Bank now is completely different from the past. If this one-third of the industry was converted into silver, it would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more. Like this

The amount can be given? What on earth did the young master fancy in someone else’s house? At first, he thought Li Cong was attracted by the daughter of the Ouyang family, who was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, the same as Li Cong’s princess.

My wife belongs to two of the most famous beauties in the empire, but now this guy didn’t say anything about that at all. He was talking about a book. What kind of book could be so valuable? By the way, could it be a book used for alchemy?

That thing is indeed worth the price.

"Young Master, I would like to ask if it is a book on alchemy. If it is a book on alchemy, I don't think we can get it. The Ouyang family does have a fourth-grade alchemist. What he has in his hands is amazing.

It's really hard to get it out. Although the young master offered a high price when he was refining alchemy in the Western Empire a while ago, the young master attracted all these old customers to them. On the one hand, they admired the young master's alchemy skills very much.

, but there are also complaints in my heart. Many people beg them to make alchemy, but either they don't have the ability to make it, or they don't have the conditions. To be honest, if it hadn't been for what the young master did, they wouldn't be able to do it now.

It won't be so leisurely. In the past, there would be tens of thousands of people waiting at their door on any day, but now? There are less than half." Gu Xin thought for a while and said, this alchemist among them

The hatred among the people is even greater. There are only a few alchemists in the world. If you guys do my job, I will have no way to live. Although the alchemists have a lot of work, I feel uncomfortable without it.

comfortable.

"What? Do they still have books on alchemy at home?" Li Cong said with some surprise. Damn it, I really didn't realize that the Ouyang family really has something. This time I will gain a lot.

"Haha, young master, you may not know much about these martial arts families. The Ouyang family has existed for nearly 60,000 years. There are countless masters in the family. There is even an alchemist in his own family. You can

It is said that among the many martial arts families in the world, not one of them has an alchemist, but others do. Such a thing is unique in the world. There is nothing to doubt that they have books on alchemy. Their family

Some of their collections of books are comparable to those of the royal family." Gu Xin also spoke with some admiration, and he could only honestly look up to such a big family.

"The thing I want is not a book on refining medicine, it is far worse than that. But it is more precious to me than that..." Li Cong spent ten minutes telling about this plant.

The book of life tells this guy. He is an ordinary person. Although he is now a seventh-level warrior due to drugs, he is still not very clear about these things. It feels like he is listening to a book from heaven.

"If the young master says that, I think it's better for us not to come forward in this matter. If he knows the true identity of the young master, this matter will be difficult to handle. Just like what the young master said, as long as someone knows you need

If they don't increase the price of this book, I will really be sorry for you. They will definitely do that, and then we will suffer a big loss." Gu Xin said anxiously, what the young master needs is really strange.

"Yeah, this thing is a damn rare commodity. Does our investigation department have any useful information about this Ouyang family?" Li Cong thought of his own intelligence agency. They should have some ideas.

Gu Xin thought that when he came up, the investigation department had almost sorted out the information on the Ouyang family. The Ouyang family ranked third among the dozen or so martial arts families in existence. It can be said to be a very powerful family, even if the imperial court

Some big families in the world also look at them differently, and basically everything they want to do can be accomplished. The entire Ouyang family has one tenth-level warrior, more than fifteen ninth-level warriors, and eight-level warriors and below.

But there are too many. They are all members of the Ouyang family, not counting the people outside who are attached to their names. The twenty apprentices under the current master Ouyang are amazing.

All twenty of them are ninth-level warriors. Because they have never revealed their strength in front of outsiders, it is not clear whether they are recognized by the source of power.

The Ouyang Family recruits more than 300,000 talented young people every year. After a series of training by them, they will always have some abilities after they come out. Of course, most of them will be no more than fourth-level warriors, but there are also many

Few people have become sixth-level warriors or above. Such people can be focused on training for the Ouyang Family. These guys will also have the opportunity to marry with the Ouyang Family, so that they can feel at ease. To put it bluntly, the Ouyang Family

The development model is somewhat similar to that of the Thunder Gate, that is, everything they do is above board and does not go against the government. It is hard to say what the Thunder Gate does.

Even in the surrounding provinces, there are people from the Ouyang family or strongholds gathered together, which they call martial arts schools, but Li Cong thought that was their stronghold, and some rich people's children also wanted to enter the Ouyang family.

After practicing for a while, people like them have no so-called potential, so they can only pay a lot of money to get in, and when they come out later, they can make a name for themselves. They may not be very useful, so they just treat it as

I wanted to send my children out for some exercise. At the beginning, not many people were willing to do this. But now, there are still many people who want to send their children in. The number of people is quite large.

The overall strength of the Ouyang Family is considered very good in the entire world, but for Li Cong, this kind of ability is far behind him. He is a ninth-level warrior who is not as good as them, but his other strengths are better.

Much stronger than them, his high-level force can be supplemented by Warcraft, but you can't. After knowing this news, Li Cong is even more sure of what he wants to get from this family, and that is the secret book.

No matter what price he has to pay, he must get it. As for the problem that Gu Xin said about finding someone to come forward, Li Cong has also thought about it. But now that he is doing such tricks on other people's territory, if he hadn't been

If people see it, you will definitely do well, but if others see it, the matter will not be so good, it may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, and things that can be done will not be done.

Yes, these are all possible. Li Cong was a little hesitant when he thought of this, but if he came directly to the door, who knows what they were thinking. If the lion really opened his mouth...

Li Cong himself didn't think about what to do on the way. Because the distance was not very far, he arrived at the place quickly. Gu Xin also made some reports to Li Cong and told Li Cong that they also had many people in this county.

It is powerful, but compared with the Ouyang family, it is a bit less impressive. Among several surrounding provinces, the Ouyang family belongs to a local emperor. He can only be regarded as a wealthy family. To say that his business is not as good as

The connection with the Ouyang family is that they have just bought several villas of their own, and the young children in their family often come to the Grand Hyatt Hotel to spend money. Other than that, there is no other connection, or it can be said that there is no connection.

Li Cong also took a look at some of the Ouyang family's business. In fact, his own shipping can completely let his family members serve as nursing homes. In addition to recruiting apprentices, the biggest source of income for a martial arts family like theirs is

Mercenaries are exported. You are under the banner of the Ouyang family. No matter what you do outside, you must give half of your income to the Ouyang family. Otherwise, you will be killed by the alliance. This is also

There is a rule that most people in the world know. Li Cong thought about it and nodded. He couldn't just come to the door too abruptly. It would be better to have a reason.

Several top officials in the county knew about Li Cong's arrival and came to greet him, but what they welcomed was Gu Xin himself. Li Cong did not want to become like a giant panda, and the people of the Ouyang family were not fools.

Yes, how come no one came to ask about this thing in the past, and it has been kept in their home for a long time. Why do people come to ask about it when Li comes here? It is too easy to be suspicious.

Although Gu Xin is a big manager of the Cao Family Trading Company and has a very high status within the trading company, it is of no use to these martial arts families. They will only look at your own strength and what is spread among them.

Whoever has the strongest fist is the boss. If you don't have that qualification, it doesn't matter how powerful the family behind you is. It has nothing to do with you. We will kill you when you are alone.

Li Cong came down outside the city. In addition to not wanting to expose himself, the other thing was that the little guy felt hungry. Li Cong found a place with no people, took out the money and gave it to the little guy to eat hard.

Compared with that day, this little guy has not grown up much. Li Cong guessed that it may be because money no longer has any appeal to this little guy. What he needs is something else, but now he

He didn't know anything about this other thing, so he could only hurry up and get the secret book from Ouyang's house, so this matter was at the last moment. Li Cong didn't have the time to wait for this and that.

After settling this little guy, Li Cong immediately became a gangster. He planned to go to Ouyang's house first to have a look. He didn't mind doing that if he could get away with it. Strictly speaking, such things couldn't be done anyway.

It's a treasure. If you have plant life, it's a treasure. But if you don't have it, it's almost like trash. I'll just make it up to you slowly in the future.

The abilities of the Ouyang family here are similar to those of the Cao family in Xinjiang Ning City. As long as you ask someone casually, you will know it. They will not suspect anything, because all these guys on the street look very strong.

All of them are preparing to be apprentices in Ouyang's family. Some seventh-level warriors keep coming, not for anything else, but because Mr. Ouyang is not simple. He can turn his apprentices into ninth-level warriors. Such ability is comparable to his own.

Are ninth-level warriors much more powerful? Many people have never made a breakthrough in their lives, but they have basically never failed. Li Cong also wants to know about this very much, but there is no news spread in the world now.

When he came out, Li Cong knew that this must be the foundation of the Ouyang family. It is not that simple to know. It is up to others whether they are willing or not.

Not long after Li Cong left on the street, he saw an Ouyang martial arts gym. There are no less than ten such places in the whole city. The Ouyang family is not in business, but they have a lot of land. This was all from earlier years.

It was bought by the Ouyang family at that time. The land price at that time could not be said to be free, but it was almost the same. The Ouyang family basically rented out the land. As the population increased, the city expanded more and more.

It's getting more and more powerful. Now one-third of the commercial land in the entire county belongs to the Ouyang family, so they can just sell whatever they want in these stores, and they can still collect a lot of rent every month. This

These are the foundations on which the Ouyang family can stand. It can be said that the power of the Ouyang family in these provinces took a long time to form. Many people mention the Ouyang family with awe, which comes from the heart.

, it can be seen.

The place Li Cong is going to is naturally not a martial arts gym like this. This is just a very low-level martial arts gym for the Ouyang family. You can't get any useful information from here. The Ouyang family won't treat their own martial arts gym.

Some core secrets are kept here. If you look for information in this place, you will probably find that there will be no news next year, so Li Cong plans to go directly to the Ouyang family's mansion to have a look. This place has been built for tens of thousands of years.

There must be some things that I don't know about. Luxurious? Not very good. Covered area? It's not very big, but you can feel a kind of coercion from the outside. It's not because of the master sitting in charge.

The kind of momentum that has been formed over tens of thousands of years is the most difficult thing to form. When Li Cong saw this, he thought of his own home. Those things he wanted to have in his home were really not something he could just dream of.

The gate is the largest gate size stipulated by the court. From this, we can see that the relationship between the Ouyang family and the court is still good. Some of the sizes used by the prince can also be used by the Ouyang family. The Ouyang family is not far away from the emperor because of the sky.

The reason was that the imperial court couldn't get along with it in these aspects. Li Cong had read some of the history here and knew that a martial arts family in the Southern Empire did not follow the imperial court's requirements. They were also very powerful. Naturally, the imperial court would not have such reasons at the beginning.

Go against a behemoth, because it is really not worth it, but it will be different later. After the court has its own ability, you will have to be used as a target immediately, and a hundred thousand troops will kill you directly
