Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Two: The Side Branch of the Yuncheng Merchants, No, It's Just This Kind of Plot
Vermillion Bird Region, Cloud City.
The four regions of the sky star are extremely vast, with thousands of Daozhou.
And Suzakuyu Yuncheng is located in a place called Huangfeng Daozhou. In Huangfeng Daozhou, it can be regarded as a big city.
There are three forces in Yuncheng with the strongest strength, namely the side branch of the Shang tribe, the side branch of the Bai tribe, and the ancient water sect.
These three forces firmly control Yuncheng's economic lifeline and various cultivation resources, and there are also saints behind them.
But recently, the life of the side branch of the business family has not been easy.
Yuncheng merchants, in the lobby.
Shang Long was in a meeting with several elders, and his expression was very solemn.
"Today, Deacon Bai came over to report, saying that our shop was once again brought to trouble by people from the Clan, and a lot of things were smashed."
"In addition, the spiritual stone vein to the north was also occupied."
"No matter what, we're done."
"The person who worshipped the family the day before yesterday came to propose marriage again."
"Damn, these guys are shameless, they have done so many insidious things, and they dare to propose marriage."
"Alas, the direct descendants of the business family suffered disasters, and the people who worshipped the family took the opportunity to fall into the trap, which was already expected."
Several elders talked a lot, and Shang Long's head hurt a little.
As the news of the heavy losses of the merchants spread, the side branches of the merchants in various places were affected to varying degrees.
To be honest, he doesn't have much sense of belonging to the direct line of the Shang family, and it can even be said to be disgusted.
These direct descendants stayed in their own territory all day to cultivate and enjoy themselves, leaving all the dirty and tiring work to the side branches, and relying on their powerful strength, they were ruthlessly oppressed.
The direct line and the side branch, although they are both members of the Shang family, but their status is very different.
In the past, Shang Long even thought viciously, what happened to these direct descendants, he would be delighted.
But that was just thinking about it. He knew very well that although the direct line was not very good to them, as a side branch of the business family, if something happened to the direct line, they would not be better off.
Sure enough, in the past few days, it has come true. The direct descendants of the Shang family were so harassed by the Chu madmen that their vitality was greatly damaged. The forces that were originally afraid of the Shang family gradually showed their claws and wanted to bite the business family and get a piece of the pie.
"Hey, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be no place for my business family in Yuncheng." After discussing the matter with a few elders, Shang Long sat on the chair tiredly and said yes.
Behind him, a gentle woman walked up, rubbing his temples gently, "What's the matter, is it difficult to do?"
"Baijia is pressing step by step, and the ancient water sect is eyeing the tiger on the side. Both of them want to divide my business family and eat it!"
Shanglong sighed.
"Husband, let's leave Yuncheng."
"Look at it again, I can go, but there are thousands of side children in Yuncheng, what should they do?"
Shang Long was still unable to leave so many of his kin.
"It's all the fault of the madman Chu."
At this time, the gentle woman complained a bit: "If it wasn't for the Chu Kuangren who turned the Shang clan upside down, Baijia, the Ancient Water Sect wouldn't dare to deal with us so recklessly."
"Shang Han took the ancient sword from your family. Chu Kuangren killed him and made a scene of the Shang family. Last night, you even praised him for venting your anger."
Shang Long smiled faintly.
"I didn't know that the impact of this matter was so great at the time. Let's see how tired you are, husband." The woman said distressedly.
"I'm fine."
Shang Long patted the back of the woman's hand and comforted.
"Patriarch, it's not good, the people from the family are here again. This time, the eldest young master of the family brought people here in person."
At this moment, a servant came in and said hurriedly.
Then, outside the door, a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe walked into the lobby, followed by a few guards.
One of them was an old man, standing beside the young man. Although he didn't make a sound, Shang Long's face changed slightly when he saw the other party.
"Patriarch Bai, what do you mean?"
Shang Long frowned slightly.
"Patriarch Shang, I won't say more nonsense. Today I came here specially to bring Qingxue and me back to the church to marry."
The youth is also the patriarch Bai Shao said.
The eldest lady of the business family is well-known in Yuncheng and is known as the number one beauty in Yuncheng. He has coveted her for a long time.
However, there has never been a chance, and this time, the business family suffered an unprecedented hit, and it was his chance.
"Qingxue, she won't marry you, please come back."
Shang Long said lightly.
"Shang Patriarch, Qingxue can go with me today, or I have to go if I don't go with me. I'll take her today."
"You kind of have a try."
A female voice came from outside the door.
I saw a woman wearing a long white dress, with exquisite features and beautiful skin, walking into the lobby with a look of indifference.
And she is Shang Qingxue, the eldest lady of the Yuncheng business family.
Seeing her, the young patriarch of the Bai family showed a fiery look in his eyes, and then said, "Qingxue, you shouldn't be unaware of the current situation of the merchants. Now you are the only one who can save the merchants."
"As long as you go back with me and get married with me, from then on, the merchants will marry and form an alliance with my family, and this difficulty will naturally be overcome."
The young patriarch of the Bai family said confidently.
Obviously, he is very concerned about Shang Qing
Snow is inevitable.
Hearing his words, there was a flash of struggle in Shang Qingxue's eyes. She had been watching the family's difficulties these days.
But for her to marry the young patriarch of the Bai clan, this was definitely not what she wanted.
She knew that the other party was just coveting her body.
"Impossible! Even if I, Shanglong, fight with you, I will never sell a girl for glory."
Shang Long was furious, slapped the table and stood up, glaring angrily at the young patriarch of the Bai clan, "Bai Feng, get me out of the Shang clan immediately!"
The young patriarch of the Bai family still looked like the old god was there. The old man next to him took a step forward and said lightly, "Today, the young patriarch wants to take Shang Qingxue away, and no one can stop him."
"Bai Family Great Elder, this is the territory of my business family, do you still want to do it?" Shang Long snorted coldly.
Although the momentum is great, there is a look of fear in his eyes.
The first elder of the Bai family is the most powerful person in the Bai family, even stronger than him. There are few people who can match him in Yuncheng.
But after all, this is a business family, and there are many masters. Although the elders of the Bai family are strong, they cannot be outnumbered.
"Shanglong, it seems that you still don't understand the situation."
The first elder of the Bai family sneered.
Several elders of the merchants suddenly walked in.
"Patriarch, you agree to this marriage."
An elder took a deep breath and said.
"Yes, patriarch, you promise."
"Only in this way can the merchants get through this difficult time."
Looking at the elders in front of him, Shang Long couldn't believe it.
"What do you mean!"
"Patriarch, the situation is stronger than people, and it's not advisable to fight hard. It's time for Miss Shang to contribute to the Shang family."
An elder said lightly.
"Haha, Shang Patriarch, look, several elders can understand better than you. You should still accept your fate and give me Qingxue as a betrothal. I can call you father-in-law in the future."
The young patriarch of the Bai family laughed.
"Forced marriage? No, I encountered such a vulgar plot as soon as I came here." At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
