10th October was definitely a big day in the Yuan Weapon World. Many Yuan Weapon Grandmasters in the Sacred Flame Royal City would take out their own Yuan Weapons in hopes of breaking through the encirclement of Yuan Weapons.
The competition was naturally an extremely cruel thing. However, if one could emerge victorious, one's reputation would definitely soar. Regardless of whether it was the designer of the Yuan Weapon or the merchant behind it, they would all benefit immensely.
"10th of October? That's next month. Sure."
Li Zongjiu nodded.
"Alright then. It's not that Mr. Li doesn't trust you. However, both of us have to sign an authorization contract. It's also for the sake of going through the process and ensuring that there's a guarantee."
Xiao Zhao took out a contract in his hand.
However, he spoke very carefully because he was worried that Li Zongjiu would get angry. One must know that many experts would think that he was looking down on Li Zongjiu by signing this contract. They would think that Li Zongjiu was an untrustworthy person.
Therefore, every time they reached this stage, they would need to coax and coax. However, Li Zongjiu was very straightforward and directly pressed his thumb on the contract.
The contract was just a joke. To a true expert, it was useless.
It was also useless for petty people.
This was just an agreement between gentlemen.
Of course, this was under the condition that Li Zongjiu was strong. If Li Zongjiu was really just an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor, the Seven Star Fire Room would have a hundred ways to get back their benefits.
Xiao Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zongjiu press his thumb on the contract.
Originally, a business negotiation of this level should be a piece of cake for Xiao Zhao. However, when he faced Li Zongjiu, he couldn't help but feel some other emotions. He even felt that Li Zongjiu was a very difficult person to deal with.
After all, he dared to kick Han Wuxiu, the commander of the Special Envoys Department, in front of so many people. That was a pretty awesome thing!
That was why Xiao Zhao thought that Li Zongjiu's temper wasn't that good. However, after interacting with Li Zongjiu for a while, Xiao Zhao realized that Li Zongjiu wasn't as irritable and dissatisfied as he thought. He even had violent tendencies.
Although he was a little cold and aloof, he still gave people a feeling that he was very reasonable.
"Congratulations, Young Master Li. I hope that our future cooperation will be even more pleasant."
Xiao Zhao said with a smile. He reached out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Li Zongjiu.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted.
The force of the jolting caused Xiao Zhao to almost fly towards Li Zongjiu.
Li Zongjiu pushed Xiao Zhao back to his seat with one hand. This made Xiao Zhao feel ashamed and angry.
"What's going on outside?"
"Lord Xiao Zhao, it's the Special Envoys Department. They are inspecting the carriage."
Because the relay station wasn't far from the city gate, if they were to go near the relay station, they would have to conduct a strict inspection. These days, it could be said that a bloody storm had been secretly stirred up in the Sacred Flame Royal City.
Someone had to settle this storm of blood and carnage.
Now, the person to handle this storm was Sima Shengyan.
His subordinates were also investigating day and night. They had to find the assassin that day. It was said that an unidentified person was caught at the scene on that day. Moreover, he was armed with a murder weapon and had disguised himself. He was directly arrested and sent to the Special Envoys Department's prison. He was being interrogated and was most likely left with half his life.
"Don't they know that this is the Seven Star Fire Company's carriage?"
Xiao Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly. Although Xiao Zhao wasn't someone with a high status, this carriage had the Seven Star Fire Company's flag. If they were to move around in the city, other ordinary carriages would have to make way for them.
And this kind of inspection was the most common method. It was basically not used on people like them. After all, they did not pay a huge amount of taxes every year for nothing. If they didn't pay the taxes and pay the money, the Special Envoys Department wouldn't have the money to buy equipment.
They didn't even know where to get their offerings!
"Everyone in the carriage, get down!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the carriage. It was extremely rough.
"Stop!"
Xiao Zhao couldn't stand it anymore. She walked out of the carriage and found that there was a long line in front of her. Everyone was being inspected.
"Is this how the Special Envoys Department does things?
We are all law-abiding citizens. You have the right to inspect, but you have no right to slap our carriage!
Who taught you to do things like this? "
After Xiao Zhao walked out, she immediately reprimanded. That person was just an Executive Emissary. It was just that he had been doing these things for the past few days, so his temper was really bad.
He didn't expect to meet a little hedgehog like Xiao Zhao.
This gave them a headache.
However, as a member of the Special Envoys Department, they couldn't possibly lower their heads to a maid from the Seven Star Fire Company.
"These people were taught by me. Do you have any objections?"
Just when the Executive Emissary didn't know how to respond.
It was a calm voice with a hint of aggression. His tone was also extremely domineering.
After seeing this, the surrounding Executive Emissaries immediately bowed to the person who came.
"Greetings, Commander!"
"Greetings, Commander!"
When Xiao Zhao saw the person who came, his expression changed. This was because the person who came was the Commander, Han Wuxiu!
"How dare a mere maidservant in the Seven Star Fire Room criticize a special envoy from the Special Envoy Department of the imperial court? Are you trying to rebel? Men, take her down!"
Han Wuxiu had become a little strange recently. Ever since he was slapped twice by Li Zongjiu, his entire person seemed to have become gloomy. When he saw Xiao Zhao, he even dared to criticize his subordinates and shout at them.
If the person who came down from the carriage today was Song Jieyu, perhaps things would have calmed down a little. After all, Song Jieyu's status was not to be trifled with.
However, a mere maid by Song Jieyu's side dared to show off in front of him. I'm afraid that you're mistaken.
Xiao Zhao's face instantly turned pale.
Originally, she was worried that the other party's behavior would offend Li Zongjiu. If she was alone, although she would be dissatisfied, she would naturally let it go easily. However, now that Li Zongjiu was in the carriage, he didn't do anything after frightening the guest. It was inevitable that Li Zongjiu would be dissatisfied.
However, what was even more unexpected was that she had offended Han Wuxiu because of this!
Everyone knew that the consequences of offending Han Wuxiu would be miserable.
Just when the Special Envoys rushed up and surrounded the carriage, a figure came out from the carriage.
Another figure walked out from the carriage and supported Xiao Zhao, whose legs were trembling. Li Zongjiu's face was filled with contempt and anger.
"I was wondering why I could smell the smell of shit from afar. It turns out that you're blocking my way again!"
