Ch 70: An Opportunity Supported By The Royal Family
“No, Senior Brother.”
Shi Ming didn’t even have time to speak before Zhou Qianlin pulled him out the door. Then, taking advantage of the absence of onlookers, he grabbed Shi Ming and scaled the wall.
“This way.”
There were people waiting outside.
Shi Ming saw that the person waiting was one of the Fourth Prince’s guards?
No wonder Senior Disciple Brother could easily enter the Separate Residence; it was an inside job.
After pulling Shi Ming through a dog hole, outside the dog hole, two strong men with burly physiques were waiting.
“Is this your Junior Brother?” the two burly strong men mumbled.
The aura of the two men was subdued, and their strength was not weak; at least they both had Ninth Rank cultivation levels.
“Yes, he is my Junior Brother, Shi Ming.”
Shi Ming said with a smile.
“Mm, then let’s go. The Boss is waiting,” the two said quickly.
“Okay, let’s go.” Zhou Qianlin, excited, said to Shi Ming: “Junior Brother, come, Senior Brother will take you to find an opportunity!”
Shi Ming was dumbfounded; these two strong men didn’t look like good people.
And at that moment, a voice came: “Looking for what opportunity? You brought your Junior Brother but didn’t bring me? Zhou Qianlin, do you still consider me an elder?”
“Who!”
The four of them turned around and found a Daoist Priest standing there, smiling at them.
“Martial Uncle!”
Shi Ming exclaimed in surprise.
He had just been worried that after being taken away by Senior Disciple Brother, Martial Uncle would not be able to find him and would worry.
“Mar…Martial Uncle.” Zhou Qianlin could only grit his teeth and call out.
“This person is your Martial Uncle?” The two strong men looked at Zhou Qianlin in surprise. One of them asked: “Your Martial Uncle is here, why didn’t you call him along? With such a good opportunity, you should bring more people.”
“You don’t know, my Martial Uncle is good-for-nothing, and he’s proficient in gambling, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and he owes a lot of debts outside,” Zhou Qianlin whispered to the two.
The two heard this, sized up Li Hanzhou, and found it to be true; Li Hanzhou didn’t even have cultivation.
He was truly a good-for-nothing.
But his clothes were quite new, not looking so poor.
“Since he’s Zhou Qianlin’s Martial Uncle, let’s bring him along.” One of the strong men said: “With such a good opportunity, we should naturally bring our own people first.”
“Then please, come with us to see our Boss; we guarantee you won’t be disappointed.”
The two strong men came to Li Hanzhou’s side and grinned at Li Hanzhou.
“Then let’s go.”
Li Hanzhou glanced at the two.
“Sigh!”
Zhou Qianlin sighed and could only agree.
Li Hanzhou and the three followed the two strong men through the small alleys in Wan Shui City, finally arriving outside a rather desolate courtyard.
The courtyard was not small, but it was slightly dilapidated.
There were some noisy sounds coming from inside.
“Is this the place for the opportunity?” Li Hanzhou asked in astonishment.
“You’ll know when you go in.”
One of them knocked on the door outside. The knocking pattern was three short and two long knocks. Then, a pair of small eyes appeared inside the door, carefully looking outside.
“Come in.”
A small, thin man inside opened the door and let Li Hanzhou and the others in.
As soon as Li Hanzhou entered the courtyard, he felt that there were dozens of people in the courtyard. Although the courtyard was not small, it was a bit crowded with dozens of people living here.
There were also patrolling people in the courtyard, each with cultivation.
There were also two Eighth Rank Experts hiding in the house drinking.
“Boss, we’re back.”
The two shouted.
A fatty inside was sitting there drinking tea. Hearing this, he stood up with a smile and said, “You’re back. How is it? Did you bring the people?”
“We brought them, two people.” The two pointed at Shi Ming and Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou looked at the man in front of him, chubby, with a fake smile on his face, a typical smiling tiger.
Li Hanzhou had wandered the Earth for so many years; what kind of people hadn’t he seen?
He could tell just by looking at his face that he wasn’t a good person.
“I am Zhang Xiaohu.” The fatty politely clasped his fists and said.
Good heavens.
He doesn’t even bother to pretend anymore, huh?
Li Hanzhou wanted to see what this person was up to.
So he also politely said: “I am Li Hanzhou, this is my Martial Nephew Shi Ming. We heard that there is an opportunity here, so we followed my Senior Disciple Brother here. May I ask, Brother Tiger, is there really an opportunity here?”
“Of course!” Zhang Xiaohu quickly said: “Your Senior Disciple Brother is here, could he possibly be deceiving you?”
Zhou Qianlin, hearing this, proudly puffed out his chest and said proudly: “Martial Uncle, you’re not young anymore. If you seize this opportunity today, maybe you can still turn your life around. Otherwise, well, it’s hard to say.”
Li Hanzhou remained calm and asked: “I wonder what kind of opportunity Brother Tiger is talking about?”
“Bring it, let this brother see it.”
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu reached out his hand, and someone beside him immediately handed over a red, ball-like object.
Li Hanzhou looked at the object in front of him and didn’t recognize it.
This thing wasn’t big, ball-shaped, and looked like a walnut.
“This is called Crimson Flame Fruit.” Zhang Xiaohu said to Li Hanzhou: “It contains a very powerful source of flame, a very rare fruit, and it’s also a treasure unique to our Great Zhou. If you eat one, your understanding of the way of flame will be strengthened, and you may even enter the Immortal Realm and become a supreme strong person!”
Good heavens, what a great sales pitch.
Li Hanzhou looked at the thing, and his Divine Soul immediately pierced into it, but he found that there was no trace of flame aura.
It was just an ordinary walnut?
Only the color was a bit special.
“The Great Zhou Imperial Family now wants to sell this fruit, so they found me and asked me to gather common people Righteous People to secretly sell this thing.” Zhang Xiaohu explained to Li Hanzhou.
“Heh.” Li Hanzhou heard this and couldn’t help but laugh: “The Imperial Family wants to sell such a treasure, and they need to do it secretly? Why give it to you? Can’t the Imperial Family sell it themselves? And why secretly?”
“Tch, little brother, you don’t know.”
“The Great Zhou Imperial Family’s move is to support the common people, to give us commoners the opportunity to make money. This thing naturally needs to be sold secretly. Otherwise, if the Noble Families and Clans in the Imperial City knew about it, would this thing still fall into our hands?”
Li Hanzhou heard this and roughly knew what they wanted to do.
“Do I need to pay a sum of money first, and then get the right to sell this? If I can get others to do this, will I get a share of the profits?” Li Hanzhou said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qianlin in surprise.
He thought it was Zhou Qianlin who told Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou cursed Zhou Qianlin inwardly, thinking, I wonder why he hasn’t returned to the Sect; it turns out he was tricked into a pyramid scheme!
