At this moment, Yue Jing's heart was indescribably shocked. The amount of money that Xiang Yun had given him in a year was actually more than two times more than the amount that he had earned in the Green Wind County City!
When Housekeeper Zhang saw this, he could not help but smile: "Mr. Yue, there is no need to be surprised. More than half of the brothel gambling houses in Qin Feng City belong to my son. Their income is naturally much higher than ordinary mansions!"
"Oh." Yue Jing looked at Xiang Yun with some shock. He had thought that Xiang Yun was just a second generation family member supported by his family. He had not expected the latter to be the big boss behind the Qin Feng City's brothel's gambling house.
However, even if it was a city's income, it couldn't possibly be this much. To be able to earn so much more than a county city, this was simply inconceivable.
Hearing this, the excitement on Yue Jing's face became even more intense. He had originally thought that from now on, he could only consider the food and clothing of this Crown Prince's Palace.
He had not expected that Xiang Yun would actually manage Qin Feng City's business. This had already far exceeded his expectations.
At the same time, he was also very curious how the small Qin Feng City could earn more than one county just by running a brothel and a gambling den. At this moment, he had a feeling that he had made the right bet in this trip to Qin Feng City!
After that, Yue Jing kowtowed to show his grat.i.tude, allowing Housekeeper Zhang to arrange food, shelter, and work for him. Meanwhile, Xiang Yun, under Lin Wan'er's care, returned to his room to rest during the night.
Of course, he wasn't really resting. After Lin Wan'er covered him with the blanket, Xiangyun began to circulate his Turtle Aura Art.
Five days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. It was now the 27th of the third month, and Xiang Yun was still cultivating. He had already seen Yue Jing twice. The first time Yue Jing looked at Xiang Yun, his eyes were filled with admiration.
The latter had seen the business systems of the West City gambling den and the North City brothel, which Xiang Yun operated. It was only then that she discovered that regardless of the scale or manner of operation, Qin Feng's brothel and gambling den were unprecedented.
Although the price of the latter surpa.s.sed that of their peers, but the benefits and business was one of the best.
Yue Jing couldn't help but admire Xiang Yun's business ac.u.men. Of course, with Yue Jing's experience as a senior earth official, he had also discovered many loopholes. If these loopholes were to be filled, not only would the excess expenses be reduced, but even the benefits would be greater.
The second time, he brought his own improvement plan to find Xiang Yun. The latter casually flipped through two pages and said one word to Yue Jing!
"But!"
"Your Highness, why don't you take a closer look?"
"You are an expert in this field. I trust you, go ahead and do it!" Xiang Yun replied.
Hearing this, Yue Jing felt his body tremble as an excited heat surged from his heart, giving him a sudden feeling of excitement like when he had first become an official of the Green Wind County.
A warrior would die for his own savior. Since the crown prince was using people without a doubt, he naturally had to do something to deserve this trust. He had to live up to the huge business of Qin Feng City!
Occasionally, when he took a step forward, he would vaguely realize in his mind that there was a feeling that he could take another step forward, and the effect would perhaps be even more shocking!
This feeling caused Xiang Yun to feel rather pleasantly surprised. He seemed to faintly sense that there were signs of a breakthrough.
If his Hundred Transformations Divine Body could reach the next realm, 'Gecko Travelling Wall', his escaping ability would increase exponentially!
Thus Xiang Yun had spent more time in cultivating the Hundred Transformations of the G.o.dly Path these past few days. However, even though this feeling persisted, Xiang Yun was unable to take that step no matter what.
Xiang Yun knew that his path of cultivation would not be an easy one, and he would not be able to achieve what he wanted. Thus, he had only persisted in his cultivation for three days before returning to his original habits.
Just like that, he could feel the cloud energy in his spirit root grow stronger every day. Xiang Yun felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. He did not feel that he had to work hard to enjoy such a tight life.
He had always believed in the principle that the person who was running was faster than anyone else to reach the end, even if he wasn't fast enough.
Just as he was feeling curious, he suddenly heard something coming from outside the door …
"Ouch!"
The maidservant cried out in alarm, nearly falling to the ground. Luckily, Xiang Yun had reached out and pulled her back.
Xiang Yun looked at this servant girl's terrified expression and could not help but feel angry yet amused at the same time. He hurriedly helped her up and asked.
"Little girl, who wants your life? Why are you in such a rush? Did something happen?"
The maidservant had not expected Xiang Yun to be so amiable. She could not help but think to herself, "What they say is right. Your Highness seems to have changed a lot. His bad temper is no longer there, and he seems to have become even better."
The maidservant had only missed a little, but she immediately recalled the reason why she had come. She then became anxious once more as she hurriedly spoke to Xiang Yun.
"Your Highness, hurry up and go to the east gate. There's a quarrel, a quarrel!"
The servant girl quickly added, "Lady Wan-Er and a group of young masters and masters have started arguing!"
"Oh!"
The maidservant was frightened by Xiang Yun's serious expression, but she still told him the truth!
It turned out that today, Lin Wan'er had brought four to five maids with her as she prepared to go to the east city's silk shop to make some clothes for Xiang Yun.
Unexpectedly, on the road to the east of the city, a group of young masters entered the city through the east gate. They rode their big horses and galloped all the way, b.u.mping into many small vendors' stalls on both sides of the road.
Lin Wan'er immediately stopped the group of people. She wanted the young man to help the two old men up, but the young man refused, so they started to argue!
When this maidservant saw the other party's overwhelming numbers and his arrogant att.i.tude, she became more cautious and dashed all the way back to find Xiang Yun.
"Follow me, we'll talk on the rest of the way!"
The maidservants still had some more to say. Xiang Yun had already grabbed her with one hand as he charged out of the courtyard. As he left the manor, Xiang Yun asked Liu Hong to bring over ten guards with him to keep up!
In the past, the crown prince had always been like this! They didn't dare to ask about it now. A dozen guards followed Liu Hong and chased after the crown prince in a formidable array. In terms of fighting, none of the people from the estate had ever been afraid of anyone before!
The maidservant hesitated for a moment and said, "These people do not seem to be people from our Qin Feng City. From the clothes they are wearing, they should be young masters from a different county city."
"En!"
Xiang Yun immediately understood when he heard this. There were only five or six days left until the compet.i.tion at the Qin Feng City. It had always been the children of influential families from other counties that had arrived in advance.
These people were as brazen and unbridled as local emperors in their own city. They were used to being arrogant, but in this Qin Feng city, they would definitely act without restraint.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun became even more worried for Lin Wan'er. Immediately, he began circulating the Hundred Transformations Steps under his feet as his speed rapidly increased until the young maid could no longer keep her eyes open. She could only tightly grab onto Xiang Yun's arm!
At this moment, the main street of the east gate of the Qinfeng City was already filled with onlookers. The entire main street of the city gate was surrounded by an impenetrable crowd. From afar, one could hear the sound of people moaning in pain and fiercely quarreling!
In the middle of the crowd, a group of young men, dressed in fresh clothing and looking proud, sat on horses' backs. They looked at the woman in front of them with a face full of playfulness.
"Girl, you want us to apologize to these two old things?"
"Hmph, it was you who knocked them down. I naturally have to apologize to you. Furthermore, I have to bring the two elders to the infirmary to treat their injuries!" Lin Wan'er glared angrily at the young man as she spoke righteously.
Upon hearing Lin Wan'er's words, the people on horseback burst out in laughter, as if they had heard some hilarious joke.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a young man who was wearing a golden robe and riding a handsome white horse with a jet-black body!
His gaze lingered on Lin Wan'er's exquisite face for a long time, then fiercely swept over her curvy body. Finally, he looked at Lin Wan'er with a playful smile.
"Young lady, do you know how much the Yue Kai-shek that I am riding is worth?"
The young man didn't mind at all. He pointed a finger at Lin Wan'er to indicate her to guess the price. However, Lin Wan'er didn't cooperate. She just stood in front of everyone with a furious look in her eyes!
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd exclaimed in surprise. Who would have thought that a horse was actually worth a hundred thousand taels of silver? This was a number that many people would never be able to earn in their entire lives!
Hearing the exclamations from the crowd, the young man enjoyed it. He proudly said to Lin Wan'er, "Miss, do you know how much a hundred thousand taels of silver is? It's enough to buy two old things for a hundred lives!"
"Now that my Ferghana Horse has crashed into them, do you think they should compensate for the loss of my horse, or should I compensate for them?"
"Hahaha!" At the same time, the few young men next to the young master with peach eyed all laughed loudly.
"Young master Li's words are truly insightful and reasonable. These two old things should be the one to compensate Young Master Li's losses. The food this Ferghana Horse eats is even more expensive than the rice grains these lowly commoners eat."
"That's right, it doesn't matter if we run into these two old things. If we injure the Ferghana Horse, then it would be a huge sin!"
