I Have An Impenetrable Fortress

After receiving the long sword handed over by Chief Gu Hao, Sun Fangyuan and Qian Gang remained silent, only watching the long sword carefully.

After a while, Sun Fangyuan spoke slowly: "The descendants of the sixth realm of our sect basically only receive custom-made armor now."

"Yes." Chief Gu Hao nodded slowly.

Qian Gang said in a deep voice: "Among them, we must rely on our Xifeng Iron."

"It's true that Xifeng iron is the key, but Chang'an's craftsmanship is also really good."

After a moment of silence, Sun Fangyuan continued, "We underestimated Chang'an earlier, thinking that their weapon refining base is Tianfeng Mountain in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so there is nothing to fear, but now it seems that Chang'an has masters."

Qian Gang said: "Currently, they are not enough to pose a threat to our business, but..."

He didn't continue, but both Guan Hao and Sun Fangyuan knew what he meant.

I'm afraid, the weapon business in Chang'an City is getting bigger and bigger.

"Eastern Tang and Northern Qi are blocking Chang'an, so it should be difficult for them to grow up." Sun Fangyuan said.

Chief Gu Hao pondered for a long time: "Let's observe first."

Sun Fangyuan and Qian Gang both have the same hair.

Having said that, the three masters of Ice and Fire Valley looked at the one sword and two swords with serious expressions at the moment.

What made them even more depressed was that soon there was even worse news.

The weapons and armor produced in Chang'an City are better than before.

It's not just a matter of quality, but quantity is a world of difference.

A large number of Chang'an weapons began to become popular in the market.

Moreover, the price is lower than Ice Fire Valley!

The Ice and Fire Valley was a market in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was soon replaced by Chang'an City.

The blockade of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was strict, but some people took risks.

Although things from Chang'an are forbidden on the plane, the black market has long been flooded.

What makes Binghuogu even more unbearable is that although the Northern Qi Dynasty blocked Chang'an, it was not strict enough, so a large number of Chang'an weapons sneaked in and fiercely seized the basic territory of Binghuogu.

"How could they do this!" Qian Gang was furious.

"Selling it so cheap, is it hurting people?" Sun Fangyuan also frowned.

The two went to Gu Guanhao's residence together again.

But this time, disciple Guan Hao signaled the two to wait.

They waited for a long time before seeing the owner of the valley coming out slowly.

But this time, Guan Hao was holding a broken knife in his hand.

He put the broken knife in two in the hands of Sun Fangyuan and Qian Gang.

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them took a piece of it and looked it over carefully, the more they looked, the more serious their expressions became.

"There are no more than five people in our sect who can forge this treasured sword, including the old man." Chief Gu Hao said slowly.

Sun Fangyuan and Qian Gang looked ugly.

Guan Hao said five people, but now there are three in the room.

In fact, it means that at the level of Ice and Fire Valley, forging such a precious sword requires at least a cultivation base of the seventh level.

Including Qian Gang, there are a total of three seventh-level warriors in Guzhong.

Add Sun Fangyuan from the eighth realm and Gu Guanhao himself from the ninth realm, and you're all set.

The five of them can create such an excellent work.

But they have long only accepted tailor-made orders.

But the broken knife in front of them was mass-produced by Chang'an!

There are quite a few of them that have been circulated outside, not counting the number used by the people in Chang'an City.

"Brother, please come up with an idea." Qian Gang said in a deep voice.

Guan Hao didn't speak, and fell into silence for a long time.

Sun Fangyuan played with the broken knife in his hand, and said, "Anyway, let's say hello to the Gao family of the royal family first, at least we can't let Chang'an weapons circulate in such a large number on the ground of Northern Qi, otherwise we will all have to drink the northwest wind."

"Please, Junior Brother Sun, go to the capital and discuss this matter with the royal family."

Chief Gu Hao said: "In the future, we can give a little profit to the royal family for our business."

"They have the face to negotiate the price? Gao Tiankai's two sons are still trapped in Chang'an City." Sun Fangyuan said bitterly.

"Anyway, they must take action." Guan Hao said to Qian Gang again: "Junior Brother Qian also talks to the people in Chang'an City, so as to hurt others with their own base,

Bad for everyone. "

Qian Gang nodded: "I understand."

Ice and Fire Valley's two-pronged approach has achieved results.

On the one hand, Shang Jie said that although Changan's sales volume has increased, it will not continue to lower prices.

On the other side, the Northern Qi royal family took action and gradually strengthened the blockade of Chang'an.

In the direction of Northern Qi, the blockade against Chang'an in all aspects suddenly increased.

In fact, under the original blockade, the reason why there were still many contacts between Chang'an and Beiqi was rooted in Binghuogu's own family.

The area in the southwest of the Northern Qi Dynasty, bordering Chang'an, is the inherent sphere of influence of Binghuo Valley.

Previously, Binghuogu's blockade and prohibition against the Northern Qi royal family was visibly violated, but they had a fierce fight with Chang'an.

Now, they are secretly cooperating with the Northern Qi royal family's blockade.

Of course, they didn't completely tear themselves apart with Chang'an.

Xifeng iron is still sold to Chang'an, in order to get the resources they want with Chang'an.

Dealing with Chang'an on the surface, they also kept complaining, expressing how much pressure the Northern Qi royal family put on them.

They have overcome many difficulties before insisting on continuing to communicate with Chang'an.

In the direction of Northern Qi, the difficulty of commerce and trade has increased, and the export sales of Chang'an Weapon Factory have declined.

Zhang Dongyun’s instructions on this are:

Intensify.

Incarnate as Mr. Wu Yun, he instructed Chen Yu, Huang Xi and others to further improve their craftsmanship.

As a result, Chang'an Arms Factory's refining level was further improved, and the cost was further reduced.

Not to mention completely stabilizing the market on the side of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they began to gradually regain the market shares of both the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

The ban is indeed huge.

But Binghuogu quickly vomited three liters of blood, and found that the price of Chang'an's Bingjia on the black market in Dongtang was actually cheaper than his own fair sales.

Even in the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the black market began to circulate the armor produced by Chang'an.

"A magic weapon for middle-level warriors, are they selling it as a kitchen knife and farm tool?" Qian Gang couldn't believe it.

Sun Fangyuan also had a face full of disbelief.

This time, without waiting for them to go to Gu Guan Hao, Guan Hao directly called all the high-level officials of Ice Fire Valley to have a meeting.

There is only one topic for the meeting.

Cut off the Xifeng Iron that supplied Chang'an City!

When the news was sent back to Chang'an, Zhang Dongyun was very calm.

"First the courtesy and then the soldiers."

Mr. Wu Yun, who he projected, looked at Shang Jie who was in charge of contacting in front of him: "It just so happens that we didn't intend to continue to reduce the price."

"Yes, sir." Shang Jie resigned, then left Chang'an City and set off for Northern Qi.

She came to the gate of Ice and Fire Valley again.

Qian Gang was in charge of receiving her.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but Elder Shang's cultivation level seems to have improved?"

Qian Gang was slightly surprised.

The last time I saw Shang Jie, the other party should be at the sixth level of martial arts, but now he is already at the seventh level Ren Tu like him.

"Mr. Wu Yun made a point, made a little progress, and made brother Qian laugh." Shang Jie said.

Mr. Wu Yun of Dahe Longmen taught the Hanhai mental method, and the whole faction benefited greatly.

As a result, Shang Jie was promoted from the sixth realm to the seventh realm.

It's just that she is busy with Chang'an's internal affairs now, and she seldom goes into battle to kill the enemy in person, so the concentration of murderous aura in her body is relatively thin.

"Xifeng Iron's production has decreased, and the whole family is also anxious."

Qian Gang said: "As a last resort, the Xifeng iron transport to Chang'an has to be interrupted first, I am really sorry."

Shang Jie nodded: "We have always shipped once every ten days, so I wonder if we can resume the supply after another ten days?"

"Well, it's really hard to say, it depends on the specific production situation." Qian Gang said: "In fact, our sect is also reducing production, so we need to save some money."

Ice and Fire Valley has indeed cut production recently.

But it was not because of the shortage of Xifeng iron, but because a large amount of market share was taken away by Chang'an City, so that many armors were backlogged in their own houses and could not be sold, so they had to reduce production first.

The production scale will not be resumed until Chang'an suspends production and they release a large amount of inventory to seize the market again.

Shang Jie is well aware of this.

She even knew that there was no problem with the production of the Binghuo Guxifeng Iron Mine.

However, she didn't point it out face to face, but said: "Recently, there have been wars in many places, and the consumption of armor is intense. This is a great opportunity for you and me to join hands."

"Yes, yes." Qian Gang said haha: "What a pity, what a pity."

Shang Jie continued: "About the price issue, the price in Chang'an has stabilized and should not drop again. I can be sure of this."

nonsense!

It's already that low!

Qian Gang cursed inwardly.

"Then, dare to ask Elder Shang..." Qian Gang asked, "Will it improve?"

Shang Jie remembered Mr. Wu Yun's explanation, so she shook her head: "As far as I know, it shouldn't happen in a short time."

Qian Gang nodded: "Thank you Elder Shang for your confession, since this is the case, I should open the skylight and speak frankly.

It is true that the production of Xifeng iron is limited recently. If Chang'an is really in urgent need, there is room for negotiation.

This sect can allocate a part of its own needs and give priority to Chang'an.

However, in terms of price, it will naturally change. "

Shang Jie smiled and said, "Brother Qian's confession, I am very grateful, but with all due respect, the price we gave at the beginning was extremely fair.

A few days ago, you raised your house once, but it was just for business, so we agreed.

This price is very generous, even on the high side.

It would be too unfair for Brother Qian to raise the price again this time. "

Qian Gang said indifferently: "Then there is really nothing we can do to help the sect. After all, the entire faction, the direct subordinates alone have thousands of mouths waiting for food. This old man has to help the owner of the valley to settle the financial accounts."

Shang Jie said: "There has always been a gap between your faction and the Northern Qi royal family. We and your faction can definitely cooperate more in other areas."

"That's unnecessary." Qian Gang said, "After all, you are in Eastern Tang, and we are in Northern Qi."

The two were talking in the front hall, while three people were sitting quietly in the back hall.

The sound of the front hall can be heard in the back hall, but the people in the front hall can't hear the people talking on this side.

Besides Ice and Fire Valley Chief Officer Hao and Elder Sun Fangyuan, there is also a man dressed in bright yellow clothes.

This person has a handsome and majestic face, somewhat similar to Qi Wang Gao Tiankai.

"The owner of the valley hasn't made up his mind yet?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just right to take this girl."
