The Sovereign Of The Three Realms
Chapter 13: I, Jiang Chen, Bring More Revenge Than You
Long Juxue made no attempt to hide her pride and excellence as the beloved daughter of the first duke. His tone was indifferent, but it gave others an undeniable feeling of confidence.
“From the 108 rank of a duke in the Eastern Kingdom, there is nothing that anyone can steal from me if I, Long Juxue, want it.”
Jiang Chen was surprised to laugh, “That's absolute? Without exception?”
“Exclusion is impossible.” Long Juxue replied coldly, “At least, I have never met a single one.”
“Alright ..” Jiang Chen smiled faintly. “Then I congratulate you, you have met one today.”
It must be said, this sense of female superiority was too strong. He maintained a haughty and haughty attitude even when he asked for help. It was as if he was giving a great favor by talking to Jiang Chen, like a snow-white swan blessing a lowly frog.
But this kind of attitude was ridiculous in Jiang Chen's eyes.
The first duchess in the Eastern Kingdom? Continues to? Even if it was the first duke himself, such a person was not even qualified to carry Jiang Chen's shoes in Jiang Chen's past life.
Long Juxue lost face with a man for the first time in her life when she saw Jiang Chen's resolute figure with the third hallmaster.
“Jiang Chen, I will remember you. If I let you successfully pass the Hidden Dragon Trials at the end of the year, then I will change my surname to be the same as yours!”
“I, Bai Zhanyun, will also remember you. You might win today, but I will show you the price of insulting me during the Hidden Dragon Trials. This was not something that could only be borne by the rank of a duke Jiang Han!”
“And I, the rank of a Vermillion Bird duke, and the rank of a Yanmen duke!”
These people wanted to express their interest and devotion, but their plans had been thwarted. Hearts burning with anger, how could they not seize the opportunity to defeat the easy target?
Jiang Chen naturally paid no heed to this kind of threat. Instead, he thought it was quite funny that these people voluntarily identified themselves.
Stumbling against each other to identify themselves eh. They might as well, this saved me from the trouble of finding them one by one in the future. White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Yanmen right? You like to hold grudges, don't you? It won't be long before you find out that I, Jiang Chen, carry more grudges than you!
If it was an ordinary day, the third principal would never involve himself in the various disputes of nobles. But this time, he had no choice, he had to support Jiang Chen wholeheartedly.
When Jiang Zheng came to find him, he knew that this was his only option, and the only choice of the Hall.
Otherwise, making Jiang Chen unhappy would mean losing the Heavenly Karma Pill, and would mean losing a big business deal.
Some noble heirs were simply not comparable to such a business deal.
Not to mention, these heirs had no reason to vent their spleens in the Hall of Healing. They would only choose to direct their attention to the seemingly weaker Jiang Chen.
As for how Jiang Chen would handle the situation, the third hallmaster did not care much. What he cared more about was handling the problem right.
Negotiations went very smoothly, and the contract was drawn up yesterday. Jiang Chen had made some suggestions regarding some minor details, and allowed Jiang Zheng to sign them.
He was the heir to the rank of a duke, and naturally would not appear for such a small matter.
Of course, Jiang Chen did not completely trust the Healing Hall. He was still in control of two vital parts; there was no way he would selflessly share the entire recipe and refining method.
He had to be wary of the possibility of the Hall of Healing having second thoughts after receiving the entire recipe and refining method.
Thus, the contract was happily signed. Since Jiang Chen still had control over the main areas, the contract stipulated that Jiang Chen would visit the hall once in the odd-numbered months, and twice in even-numbered months.
In the world of practitioners, medicinal pills were extremely valuable. Ordinary healing pills sold for one or two thousand silver. A slightly higher tier pill cost three to five thousand silver.
And the Heavenly Karma Pill would be sold for around eight to ten thousand silver due to its potential and effects. It would be positioned as a luxury item and would undoubtedly have a huge market.
So even if only a hundred pills were refined a month, it was still a million dollar income. It was a market worth tens of millions in a year.
It is also the lowest and most conservative estimate.
And what about when they entered the market of the sixteen neighboring kingdoms, and expanded their production, purifying thousands or even tens of thousands a month? With the purchasing power of sixteen neighbors, even if the Hall produced tens of thousands of pills a month, the demand would far exceed the supply.
It is quite easy to imagine the breadth of this market with a few simple calculations.
Thus, it was easy to understand why the third hallmaster wanted so much fun.
When the contract had been signed, the third principal made a suggestion to eat at the Autumn Stork, but was politely rejected by Jiang Chen. Keeping a low profile is the name of the game in its partnership with the Hall of Healing. He did not want it to become common knowledge within the city.
Moreover, he had only partnered the business with the Hall of Healing; they were not friendly enough to share a drink.
The third hallmaster courteously sent Jiang Chen on his way with two other elders accompanying him, including the Blue elder.
The Blue Elder still harbored some prejudice against Jiang Chen, and his facial expression was stiff.
He thought for a while and suddenly smiled, “Hallmaster third, if we do not have this cooperation, most likely you will not sell Dragonbone Sun Grass to me today, right?”
“Haha, how can you say that. The hall still complies with our rules when doing business. ” The third Hallmaster laughed out loud, but even he himself did not quite believe his words.
Rules are dead things, but people are still alive. If not for this business deal, then the Dragonbone Sun Grass would have gone to anyone but Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen also laughed out loud and did not make a hole in the third hallmaster's charade. He said, “No matter the reason, I can only say that the third principal made a wise decision.”
“What makes you say that?” The third hallmaster's interest was piqued.
“Simple. Because obtaining the Dragonbone Sun Grass was a mission appointed by the king himself. If you don't sell it to me, then the lawsuits the Hall of Healing will face will be many. Hahaha, I've talked too much, too much.”
Jiang Chen laughed out loud again, quickly climbed up his horse, and laughed long, “You don't need to keep sending me away, third hallmaster.”
The third Hallmaster was dumbfounded and deep in thought as he watched Jiang Chen gallop into the distance.
“King himself?” The third hallmaster muttered to himself as he thought of the dragon medallion carved yesterday. He subtly felt that, perhaps this Jiang Chen was not lying.
“This boy can boast of his own King? Didn't he just get beaten up by His Majesty?” Elder Blue pouted and muttered in disdain.
The third Hallmaster glared at him sharply, “What do you know? You almost ruined the deal today! Keep this at heart, be smarter about how you do business in the future! Do you think his engraved dragon medallion is fake? You think that the wind is blowing on the Heavenly Karma pill recipe? ”
The Blue Elder said nothing. Right, there's something strange about this boy.
The third Hallmaster was still haunted about what could have happened, and issued a warning. “No matter the situation, you all remember this! Humble yourself in front of Jiang Chen! He is not a simple character!”
Deep in the palace.
Eastern Lu slowly put down the book in his hand and lightly tasted the tea in the cup on the table.
“Tiandu, what news from Jiang Han family?”
“Your Majesty, duke Jiang Han is silent, without making any movement.”
“And the kid?”
“Kids? He seemed to have stayed home all day yesterday, and went to the Hall of Healing this morning. He was involved in a conflict with a group of heirs.”.
A trusted guard named Tiandu gave a thorough overview of the situation, not missing a single detail.
“Oh? This kid was beaten up all-out and not only did he not die, but could he prance on the streets today? When did my guard become unable to make a decent beating? ” Lu Timur smiles but apparently does not. “But, you said that the Hall of Healing supports Jiang Chen and ignores the sons of those prominent nobles?”
“Your servant also found it strange, but this is the reality. Moreover, the Healing Hall made him a guest and comforted him for quite a while. It seems that this child is useless as the rumors say. ”
Eastern Lu sank into his thoughts and nodded, “I hope so. We can only pin our hopes for Zhiruo's illness on him. I hope this kid doesn't do any tricks. ”
“It doesn't seem so. If he was running a fraud, how could he dare to boast to the public like this? Deceiving the king was not a crime that the duchy of Jiang Han could commit.”
“Tiandu, remember this. Protect this child at all costs. Completely carry out whatever plan he has. If anyone is so blind that it causes trouble, law first and ask questions later, no matter their identity. ” Eastern Lu ordered.
It was very clear that Eastern Lu had no desire to repeat the events of this morning. He concluded that the Dragonbone Sun Grass had something to do with his daughter's illness!
If it has anything to do with my daughter's illness, then even heir Long Teng should step aside for me!
Jiang Chen did not immediately return home after leaving the Hall. He has a few more tasks to run. There was a lot of preparation to be made before entering the palace in three days.
He had yet to walk long before his sharp instincts allowed him to find someone who was secretly following him. He could not be bothered to reveal their existence.
“Hahs. Someone who is blind. Come to me if you are really strong enough to steal even from Eastern Lu!” Jiang Chen did not care in the slightest if he caused a clash between the king and the people.
The others had been treated to great performances at the Rites of Heavenly Worship. If one was so blind as to step out of line and make trouble, he would not mind if a good fight between the king and the subject progressed.
He'll even be cleverly, subtly, playing along.
What Jiang Chen regretted was that public security was actually quite good inside the capital. At least something like a robbery in broad daylight didn't happen.
“What a group of helpless people. Dragonbone Sun Grass is here now, let's go out and try to grab it. I will definitely not risk my life for Eastern Lu. I'll gladly hand it over if you try to pick it up, and then gladly hand you over when Eastern Lu asks me about it.”
Jiang Chen happily anticipated something like this to happen while he walked, but unfortunately, those who followed him never came to rob him. This makes him a little depressed.
“What a bunch of cowardly robbers!” Jiang Chen shook his head and did not think of this little interlude anymore. He drove his horse towards the Turquoise Hall, he had more tasks to run.
