The Fourth Financial Crisis

As Zhongzhou's social security system reform pilot approaches, Haiya City is already facing a storm.

Yang Lu originally planned to wait quietly for the peak showdown between the local forces in Zhongzhou and the head clan. Unfortunately, the trees were still but the wind was still blowing. Before Liu Hanxing arrived in Haiya City in person, other unexpected guests came to visit.

Looking at the greeting card that Li Qingning handed over excitedly, Yang Lu was confused and said: "Mu Sen and Mu Hu... aren't these the pseudonyms of the two inner disciples of the Yufeng Sect, Lin Musen and Lin Muhu? These two This guy is not honest and stays with the Yufeng faction in Borneo, why do you have to come all the way to Zhongzhou and meet me by name?"

At this time, Lin Musen and Lin Muhu had been identified as the murderers of Zhang Qian.

It's just that this matter involves a major scandal in Borneo, so the matter is still kept secret. It has not been officially published in the Borneo edition of "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly", nor has it spread to Zhongzhou, a hundred thousand miles away. Therefore, how can Yang Lu I can’t figure out why these two people appeared in Haiya City.

And they didn't care if they wanted to see him, but they actually contacted the underground party, only gave him a time and place, and specifically requested that only he could go there alone.

Our Qingning Chamber of Commerce is not a scourge. What are you afraid of?

On the contrary, Li Qingning said with a nonchalant expression: "From what I saw in their invitation, it seems that they want to join our Qingning Chamber of Commerce. If this person is Mu Sen from the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, he is a rare talent!"

Yang Lu smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I know the level of Mu Sen's formation. But as the saying goes, being courteous for nothing and being a traitor or a thief, they are not good inner disciples of Yufeng Sect. They have to come all the way to Zhongzhou to join me. What's going on here? There must be a ghost!"

Li Qingning said with a puzzled face: "Didn't you invite Lin Muhu to join our chamber of commerce on the outlying island?"

"Will they come if I invite them?" Seeing the look of Li Qingning picking up the treasure, Yang Lu felt very speechless, "Seriously speaking, Chen Ming also invited me to join the Mountain Eagle Sect. Should I just directly join him now?" Go to Tianshu City?"

Hearing that Yang Lu was going to Tianshu City, Li Qingning's body tensed up instantly: "You're not really going to Tianshu City to defect to Chen Ming, are you?"

Seeing Li Qingning's fear of running away, Yang Lu waved his hands with a smile and said, "Damn! I was just saying a few words of courtesy. How can there be love for no reason in this world?"

Li Qingning's face relaxed, and he asked with some confusion: "Then what do they mean?"

Yang Lu looked at the greeting card in his hand again and said: "They asked me to go out to meet alone. Either they wanted to harm me, or they had committed something serious and wanted to ask for something from us..."

"Do you think that's likely?"

After Yang Lu thought for a moment, he said categorically: "I think the latter is more likely. If someone wants to take the opportunity to murder me, there is no need to find two wind-controlling monks to fish. After all, others don't know that we have already After seeing through the secret of the intelligent flying sword, in the eyes of outsiders, these two people are just acquaintances of Yufeng Sect who have a relationship with me. Inviting me to meet in this capacity, even if it is an open and honest visit, I will not be in a bad mood. I know how to receive them, not to mention they are so sneaky, how can they use such an insincere method to lure my people out?"

"That's right!"

"In addition, I have another piece of evidence to prove their motives..."

Li Qingning hated it the most, so she quickly asked: "What evidence?"

Yang Lu pointed to the last sentence of the greeting card and said: "Although they emphasized that I can only go alone, they also added at the end that if two people want to come, that's fine, but the second person can only be the eldest lady, you... …”

Seeing this, Li Qingning also showed a hint of embarrassment. Obviously, the relationship between Yang Lu and Li Qingning is known to the world, and even the monks from Borneo have heard about it!

She stammered: "This...what does this mean?"

Seeing Miss Li's shy look, Yang Lu realized that the other party might be thinking wrongly, and couldn't help crying or laughing: "Miss, what are you thinking about? I mean, you are the biggest protector of our Qingning Chamber of Commerce now. At this juncture of the pilot reform of the social security system in Zhongzhou, if something happens to you, not only will the Haiya Sect lose an important ally, but all the cultivators will immediately suspect that it is Lin Jianxing's black hand, or at least he acquiesces to others. That’s why no one in Zhongzhou wants to see anything happen to you!”

As one of the elders of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, Li Qingyang offended many monks during the currency reform.

However, most cultivating families went bankrupt due to financial problems and soon fell into decline. A few extremists wanted to take revenge and were ruthlessly suppressed by the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Lingshi Reserve Bank for hundreds of years. Now there are still those who are strong enough to take revenge. Among the monks, only Lu Youde and Song Qingshan, the big guys in the cultivation world who are overseas, are left.

Needless to say, Wanhua Valley is definitely a time-honored sect of the world of spiritual cultivation in Kyushu.

Although the Shenhuo Sect is currently under the leadership of Tian Daxiao, a monk from the secular sect, the sect was dominated by the secular sect for many years before Tian Daxiao came to power. Even Tian Daxiao's economic reforms were strongly opposed by the conservative forces of the sect.

Therefore, these two sects had no motivation at all to deal with Lingshi Reserve Bank and Li Qingyang's enemies in the past few hundred years. This also led to most of Li Qingyang's enemies gathering in Huoyun Prefecture and Nanman Prefecture.

However, since Lu Yang, the president and founder of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, was assassinated in the Wuliang Sword Sect, the Wuliang Sword Sect has greatly strengthened its monitoring of the magic barrier protecting Zhongzhou. Overseas Nascent Soul monks cannot physically enter Zhongzhou through several ports. , otherwise it would be impossible to launch an ultra-long-distance strike across the boundless sea of ​​void. This is why Li Qingyang’s enemies and Lin Jianxing would involuntarily think of carrying out murderous attacks in this lawless place on the battlefield outside the territory.

Now that Li Qingning has safely escaped from the battlefield outside the territory, Lin Jianxing is the only one in the entire Zhongzhou who has the ability to hide from the Haiya Department and the Golden Blade Sect and kill Li Qingning in the Haiya Department's home base.

However, with Lin Jianxing's character, he would never take the blame for murdering Li Qingning!

Li Qingning came back to his senses and said with an awkward smile: "Well, you mean that even if Lin Jianxing wants to get rid of you, he will definitely find a way to get rid of me and won't let me go to the ambush location with you?"

Yang Lu nodded, showing a teachable expression and said: "Today's Haiya City is only calm on the surface, but in fact it is the focus of everyone's attention. The management of the Haiya Department is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside. If you are a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, that's it. , it is extremely difficult for monks in the foundation-building stage to enter Haiya City and escape from the surveillance of the Haiya system. I even heard Han Fu say that every monk who enters Haiya City and is above the foundation-building stage has now Being targeted by them..."

Li Qingning immediately didn't believe it: "Han Fulai's tone must be too loud! You know that Tinghe Yu Pavilion has assassins in the late stage of the Golden Core. Could it be that they can even keep track of the late-stage Golden Core assassins?"

Yang Lu said with a serious expression: "I didn't believe it at first, and asked a few circumstantial questions. However, Han Fulai hinted to me that not to mention the Jindan monks, even the Nascent Soul stage bosses would never think of causing trouble on City Lord Jiang's territory. !”
