#111 - Chapter 111 Change of Attention

Wang Hu naturally knew that the person who came was Sui Ran, but he still played dumb, pretending not to know his identity.

He knew that Cheng Feng also didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But Sui Ran, who came aggressively, couldn't be fooled so easily.

The brothers behind Sui Ran all held positions in the city defense army, following his cousin.

Those who came were basically experts in the Force Refinement realm, and there were also two captains and vice-captains in the mid-stage of the Skin Refining realm.

Sui Ran came to the door prepared to smash the place directly, kill people, and capture them to find out the location of the fine salt.

There were many such small counties in Da Zhou, so what did it matter if a few people died under their jurisdiction?

When he first saw this thing, it did startle Sui Ran. Such good contraband appearing in this small place made Sui Ran immediately think that he wouldn't be schemed against by his cousin's opponents, right!

Some things everyone knows on the surface, but they can't be said because there's no evidence.

With both the person and the goods caught, it would be difficult to argue even with a mouth full of words.

But considering the profit involved, Sui Ran really couldn't rest easy.

Here, the wholesale price was only twenty taels per catty. If he brought it to the state capital and had his cousin give it to those large families where extravagance was prevalent,

the benefits he would get in return wouldn't be something that mere silver taels could buy.

The first batch of fine salt was taken by his cousin to give as favors. The young masters and ladies of those wealthy families showed little interest because they had seen so many good things that they weren't impressed.

They had even tasted the top-grade blood crystal salt.

It was just that the price was too expensive, and they only had a small family quota each month.

However, blood crystal salt was made by mixing and modulating the blood of exotic beasts. The taste was acceptable, and it was more focused on martial arts cultivation.

The fine salt sold by Cheng Feng was crystal clear and white as snow. His cousin praised it as snow salt, saying it had an extremely pure taste and excellent appearance.

This made the young masters and ladies of the same level understand that this fine salt tasted purer, better, and was more durable. Compared to other salts, it was even more beautiful, and the most important thing was that it was beautiful, in line with the temperament of noble young masters and ladies.

The cheap price was secondary.

As a result, the second batch of fine salt was highly sought after by a large number of wealthy children.

Unfortunately, there were too few quantities to supply so many young ladies and masters. Sui Ran's cousin became even more concerned about this matter.

Sui Long currently had little power in the army. He was just a Xiaoqi Deputy General in the army, relying entirely on military merits without connections or influence. He commanded five small teams, with twenty people in each team, a full complement of one hundred people. This was what people called a Hundred-Man Xiaoqi General.

It was difficult to be an official in the imperial court, and even more difficult to be a general in the army.

Favor, relationships, connections,

Above, you had to make the leader recognize your ability, and below, you had to seek benefits for your subordinates.

You had to manage the daily meals, drinks, favors, and relationships. Otherwise, how could Sui Ran's small business have taken off?

In the past, it was all small-scale underground business, but now the young masters and ladies were quite interested.

If he didn't act now, when would he act?

If this business took off and the supply of silver wasn't a problem, he could buy more precious materials to break through. Sui Long had been in the Blood Refinement Completion realm for three years, and at twenty-seven years old, he still had hope of refining his bones.

In the army, strength was the primary indicator. The concept of the weak going down and the strong going up was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This could also be considered a way to rise through the ranks by indirect means!

Time waits for no one. If the young masters and ladies mentioned it today, they might forget about it in a couple of days.

Without the support of influential figures, how could one progress?

Forced by circumstances, Sui Ran brought his team of brothers and rushed to Qingxi County during their rotational rest, riding fast horses.

He wanted to see if he could take down this newly established small gang and find out the source of the fine salt.

If there was someone behind it? He could hand it over to the young masters and ladies. If he couldn't take it down, there would always be someone else who could take it down, and he could also get a share of the credit.

If he could take it down, then of course it would be his good fortune, and he deserved to get rich!

Comparing the two, Sui Long found Pang De, who had the best relationship with him in private. He already had the strength of the early stage of Blood Refinement and was the best candidate to lead the team this time.

This was also the reason why Sui Ran was so confident, but as soon as he arrived at the door, Pang De felt a palpitation. This inexplicable feeling made Pang De more careful.

He had encountered crises on the battlefield before, which was why he had such a subconscious reaction.

After observing that he couldn't see through Cheng Feng's strength, he whispered a reminder to Sui Ran: "There is an expert on the other side. I'm afraid I'm not his opponent. Be careful."

Sui Ran naturally followed his advice.

Pang De's strength was the biggest guarantee for this trip. The strongest person had said so, so he had to be more careful.

Sui Ran was someone who had seen big scenes. Those martial arts experts wouldn't care about the ordinary people around them once they started fighting.

Seeing that Sui Ran was preparing to play dumb, Cheng Feng naturally wouldn't let him go so easily.

Now that he had come, he couldn't leave so easily.

Cheng Feng whispered a few words to Wang Hu, who obeyed and shouted: "Thank you for the support of the Sui Family Head, bringing your brothers to support our venue. It just so happens that our Hongmen hasn't seen disciples from other gangs before. Please trouble the Sui Family Head to let my brothers open their eyes."

Sui Ran glanced at the ordinary people holding knives on the opposite side. Their momentum was not bad, but their strength was indeed lacking.

He looked at Wang Hu. Was he thinking of using his hand to beat his subordinates at this time? Or was he trying to give him some face?

But now that he wasn't preparing to start a fight directly, he had no choice but to use a gentle approach.

Sui Ran, who was in the underworld, naturally knew about this kind of thing of giving each other face.

Everyone lifts the flower sedan chair. If you want to handle things easily, you must give enough face.

He casually called out two brothers to let them open the eyes of these gang members.

This time, Hongmen also dispatched the top three elites in daily training, intending to engage in a head-on confrontation with the opponent. However, how could ordinary people have the power to fight back when facing martial artists in the Force Refinement realm? Without a doubt, they were easily knocked to the ground.

Seeing that the masters that their sect was proud of in training were so vulnerable, many Hongmen disciples couldn't help but feel resentment and fear, and at the same time, they suddenly realized. In just three months, the poor children who were once impoverished and hungry have now become so complacent, even revealing their arrogance.

Cheng Feng keenly realized that there was not a single ordinary person on the opposite side, each of them was a powerful martial artist with the strength of Force Refinement or above. He knew that he must seize this rare opportunity to give these people under his command a good lesson. After all, Hongmen not only gave them money, but also taught them unique skills and provided them with plenty of food, how could he tolerate them sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor, acting like old masters? Each one of them was arrogant and conceited all day long, what was the point!

At this moment, Cheng Feng could finally say the words he had always wanted to say with confidence: "Do you think you are here to enjoy yourselves like this?"

Perhaps, it is also time to look for a suitable opportunity to let them personally experience the bloody and cruel real world. Because if they lose their due courage and courage, they may not have a good end in the future.

These are all people who have been found with good bones, and their future strength must be well-developed now.

This martial arts competition will also make them understand that Cheng Feng is a good boss, but he will not always be a good boss. Giving money and skills is not for the sake of failure.

This also reminded Cheng Feng that he had to hurry up and find some experts from the Gongfeng Hall to come in.

A group of ordinary people can't rely on anything big.
