228: One word difference, one word alienation
People who often shop for things must know a routine.
Pick up the goods and add the head.
You obviously want to buy A, but you let the stall owner think that you want to buy B.
After writing the ink for a while, I found an excuse to buy B and asked the stall owner to give A as a gift.
Zuo Chongming also used this trick. What he said at the beginning was all foreshadowing to win everyone's trust.
Then, in an understatement, the real purpose is stated.
"Besides that, there's good news."
Zuo Chongming didn't give them a chance to delve into it and think about it carefully, and then said: "The construction plant of Lingyun Feizhou will be built soon."
"Although the quality is not as good as those made by the imperial court, it is definitely more than enough for traveling between state capitals."
"The key is that the price is much cheaper than that of the imperial court, and we also accept customization of details. If you are interested, you can go there later."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but straighten their bodies, with strong interest on their faces.
If the sect had this thing, no matter what it did, it would be much more convenient. The speed of this thing is far beyond what a warrior can match.
It's a pity that the cost of building the flying boat is too high, or... the court is too dark.
If a force like the sect wanted to buy it, it would require at least a six-digit guarantee, in units of yuan stones, which is simply outrageous.
Even so, many world-famous forces still flock to it. After all, it is indeed worth the money and it also symbolizes reputation.
In the past, forces like those in Xiyun Mansion would not even dare to think about Ling Yun Feizhou.
But now, Zuo Chongming's words suddenly made their minds become more active...
"Master Hou."
Someone couldn't help but ask: "As far as I know, the key reason why Lingyun Feizhou is so expensive to build is that it requires a large amount of blue sky purple thunder wood to make the keel, as well as the blood marrow of special demons... How did the Marquis find a substitute?"
"you guess."
Zuo Chongming picked up the tea and took a sip, without any intention of answering.
In fact, the production method of this ‘copycat flying boat’ was developed by players in previous lives.
Although he didn't know the detailed method, he still knew some of the main alternative materials.
Don't forget, Qi Shenghe and his family have relied on Feizhou for many years in business, and they have a professional maintenance team under them.
As long as Zuo Chongming gives the idea, adds the experience of the maintenance personnel, and goes through countless experiments, it is not difficult to reversely deduce the method.
"well……."
Everyone was disappointed when they saw this, and secretly cursed this guy for being cunning.
"that……"
Zuo Chongming saw that the heat was almost done, so he said leisurely: "We have finished talking about our own affairs, now it's time to talk about outsiders' matters."
Matters for outsiders?
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly understood and turned their attention to foreign sects such as Litian Sword Sect and Hatred Tian Sect.
Perhaps they didn't even notice that when Zuo Chongming said the words "family members and outsiders", they instinctively became hostile.
From the standpoint of the local sect, this Xiyun Mansion is 'their' territory.
As for outsiders like the Huanyue Sect, Hattian Sect, and Litian Sword Sect, they fled like bereaved dogs. They were trying to steal the cake.
"I heard that..."
Zuo Chongming played with the tea lid and said in a neutral tone: "Some sects have already begun to build mountain gates, and they are moving very quickly."
When he said this, he no longer called himself an official, but called himself a prince...
This detail naturally attracted the attention of many people, and their minds suddenly became more active.
Xiyun Mansion is the fief of the champion prince, and the champion prince is of course Zuo Chongming. This meaning is too obvious.
——You came to my house for no reason and why didn't you say hello to me? Isn't this against the rules?
Even those who are part of a gang know that when you first arrive, you must first pay homage to the mountain.
If you build a house without saying hello, don't you think too little of the owner?
"Forehead……"
The person who hated Tianzong twitched his mouth and his face turned pale.
As far as we know so far, they are the only ones who have selected a place and started building the mountain gate. Who is Zuo Chongming referring to? Do you still need to say clearly?
Qi Siyu, the leader of the Litian Sword Sect, glanced at Zuo Chongming vaguely, with thoughts on his eyebrows.
He unconsciously remembered the reply that Nan Feiyu sent back later.
At that time, he felt that Zuo Chongming said this to give the Litian Sword Sect a warning and make outsiders behave more honestly.
But now that I think about it carefully and combined with what Zuo Chongming said before, Qi Siyu has a new view.
perhaps…….
Qi Siyu's thoughts whirled and he inadvertently glanced at the leader of the Huanyue Sect opposite.
The four eyes touched slightly, then separated in an instant.
Before Qi Siyu had time to think about the outcome, he suddenly saw the leader of the Huanyue Sect standing up.
This person's actions undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"I've met the Marquis."
An Yunmiao walked out of the seat, her beautiful eyes were filled with water, and her red lips parted slightly: "If Huanyue Sect wants to stay, what needs to be done?"
Zuo Chongming smiled and said, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask you a question."
An Yunmiao frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Excuse me, Lord Marquis."
Zuo Chongming asked meaningfully: "Are you planning to take root here, or are you going to stay and take refuge temporarily?"
"Eh?"
An Yunmiao didn't expect this to be the problem, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and the others couldn't help but frown.
This question really stopped them.
An Yunmiao and others couldn't help but be stunned, with slight changes on their faces.
Qi Siyu reacted quickly and stood up: "Excuse me, Lord Marquis, what is the difference between the two?"
"Of course it's different."
Zuo Chongming raised his head with a half-smile and glanced at the local sect. The meaning was self-evident.
Qi Siyu and the others also understood the meaning of this glance, and their expressions became particularly ugly.
They finally understood that the reason why Zuo Chongming mentioned foreigners and locals just now was to provoke the hostility of the local sect.
It would be okay if they were to take refuge temporarily. Anyway, they would not stay here long and the local sect would not bother to target them.
But if they decide to stay, the situation will be completely different.
Because the cake of Xiyun Mansion is so big, if one more force gets involved, the others will get less of their share, and no one wants outsiders to get involved.
Therefore, they will face exclusion, suppression or even expulsion from local forces...
Too cruel!!
Qi Siyu gritted his teeth secretly.
Zuo Chongming was so cruel, his seemingly careless words directly put them on the fire.
Judging from the current situation in Congyun Mansion, who knows when the imperial court will recover.
Therefore, the reason for temporary evacuation will not last long at all.
But if you choose to stay, you will face the siege of local forces.
The only way to survive is to seek refuge with Zuo Chongming.
As long as there is this person's protection, the local sect will have to grit its teeth and hold it in no matter how unwilling it is.
"So cruel."
An Yunmiao figured out the key point and couldn't help but feel the roots of his teeth getting sore. When he looked at Zuo Chongming's handsome face, he actually had a creepy feeling.
I see…….
Qi Siyu had a clear understanding in his eyes and looked at this person with a complicated expression.
He finally understood that this was all planned by Zuo Chongming.
As early as when he asked someone to send a message to Nan Feiyu to inquire about Zuo Chongming's story, the other party had planned everything, so he gave that kind of reply.
Qi Siyu took a deep breath and glanced around vaguely.
When he encountered the aggressive and hostile eyes of those local forces, he felt mixed emotions.
This man is so terrible.
Kill without blood, kill without sword...
