In the common sense of needle retention, there is information about the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce.
On the Holy Ming Continent of the human race, there are six major chambers of commerce. The six major chambers of commerce have a long history, each of which is a behemoth, backed by powerful nobles, and its business is all over the mountains, jungles, lakes and seas, and deserts.
Under these six major chambers of commerce, one chamber of commerce has risen rapidly in the past hundred years, quickly becoming a business miracle second only to the six major chambers of commerce, and leaving other chambers of commerce far behind.
This chamber of commerce is the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce.
The Wisteria Chamber of Commerce has attracted a large number of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce to join, and even individual shops and lone merchants are tolerant of recruitment, and has an extremely large scale and influence in the middle and lower markets.
However, due to the lack of protection from the upper echelons, the great nobles of the Holy Ming Empire coveted the profits of the Chamber of Commerce and chose to attack.
The Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was suppressed, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce fell from his horse and died "accidentally".
"After my father's accident, I was the only daughter. I don't want to give up! If I let the hard work of my father, grandfather and grandfather be ruined, then I am really unfilial. Many caravan elders were unwilling to surrender, so they united by my side."
"However, no matter how much money you have, you are not an opponent of power. My father's death made me realize that I had to participate in the power of the empire. Based on the previous development method of the Chamber of Commerce, the more money and the larger the scale, the more it will go to a dead end."
"I carefully selected the partners for the caravan, and finally hit it off with you, my lord."
It was like a bolt of lightning flashing through Zhen Jin's mind, and he immediately understood the cause and effect.
Although he only remembers a few scenes, Needle knows that the Hundred Needles family is a southern nobleman.
The Holy Ming Emperor was a great talent, he unified the entire human continent and named it the Holy Ming Continent. The final step in conquering the entire continent was to annex the southernmost part of the continent.
Its decisive battle was the annihilation of the Kansuki Knights.
The conquering army of the Holy Ming Empire was trapped in the mountainous terrain, and the conquest of the southern part of the continent was deadlocked.
The southern nobles who had surrendered in the early stage saw hope in the stalemate and secretly contacted the rebellious southern nobles to reach a covenant.
The Fifth Legion of the Templars withdrew from the front line to rest, and the surrendered southern nobles sent the Knights of the Hanshan to carry out an ambush and plot.
The Knights of the Cold Cedar were the top legions of the Southern Noble Alliance, eliminating the Fifth Legion of the Templars, but were defeated by the Templars who came to support them later.
The Hanshan Knights were defeated, and the southern nobles hurriedly sent reinforcements, resulting in a huge flaw in the originally impregnable defense line.
The imperial side reacted extremely quickly, and the frontline legions joined forces to launch a general attack and completely defeat the defense line of the southern nobles.
As a result, the southern nobles suffered a great defeat and were unable to stop the army of the Holy Ming Empire, either killed or surrendered.
The part of the southern nobles who had originally surrendered and rebelled was also harshly purged.
The Hundred Needles family is one of the nobles in this part. At that time, there were a considerable number of members of the Hundred Needles family in the Cold Mountain Knights.
Although the Hundred Needles family survived under the purge, the family's territory, wealth, and army were greatly reduced. And in the ensuing time, he was suppressed and ostracized from all sides by the imperial nobility.
On the one hand, they gathered other families in the same situation to establish alliances, and on the other hand, they actively studied the top management of the empire. The Hundred Needles family sent the needle into the Knights Templar, which was one of the results.
The Knights Templar is the ace legion of the Holy Ming Empire, directly under the Holy Ming Emperor, and is the most direct military force of the Great Emperor. Every Templar believes in the Holy Emperor, and if a person even dedicates his faith, he will naturally be loyal, so the Knights Templar is also the most trusted by the Holy Emperor.
Generally speaking, there are very few great nobles in the empire, and they will not even send their children to the Templar Legion. If you worship the faith, it is like if the white-eyed wolf is cultivated in the family. Nobles believe in the supremacy of interests, and most of the time, family interests are above all else.
The small and medium-sized nobles, court nobles, and individual great nobles attached to the Emperor's family will selectively send their family children to the Templar Legion.
Needle joined the Knights Templar as the sole heir of the Hundred Needles Family, which was the most sincere expression of the Hundred Needle Family's loyalty to the Holy Emperor.
This diplomatic act successfully relieved the external pressure of the Baizhen family. But the suppression and exclusion of the Needle in the Temple Legion is inevitable, natural, and rightfully so.
After all, the Hanshan Knights almost slaughtered the Templars back then, who among the nobles was not related? There has long been a deep hatred between the needle of becoming a Templar and the colleagues around him.
"Sending the heir into the Temple Legion is indeed a wise move. Because completely defecting to the political faction of Emperor Shengming is in the best interests of the family." Needle recalled his father in his mind, and it was obvious that the middle-aged aristocrat with two slender beards had the wisdom and determination of the head of the clan.
"As the only heir of the Hundred Needles family, I was ostracized and suppressed when I joined the temple, which should have been within my expectations, and I also chose to endure it at that time."
Wire recalls the memories of the second act.
The Qing Kui in his memory obviously took the initiative to find fault and deliberately made things difficult.
His motive is understandable, maybe one of his relatives died in the Fifth Army.
As for Needle's own actions, he can also make judgments.
Although he was extremely talented, he did not stand out from the limelight, but chose to hide his talent and devote himself to practice. Usually low-key, it is to prevent being suppressed by political opponents and even stifled in advance.
He became a Templar and had to find allies in the Emperor's camp, not make enemies everywhere. As the future head of the family, he came with diplomatic purposes.
There is never a shortage of opportunities to build friendships in the military.
When faced with great external pressure, the Templars will force themselves to trust each other and rely on each other. Such an experience of living and dying together will greatly resolve the hatred of the past.
In this way, the Hundred Needles family got rid of their political predicament and became a member of the imperial camp.
However, the Hundred Needles family has made this step, and it can only be said that it can barely gain a foothold, and this aristocratic family is still quite down.
How to expand the territory, increase wealth, and enhance the strength of the family?
The human continent has been unified by the Holy Ming Emperor, and the world is at peace, and there are not many chances.
The Terran Race's large-scale attack on the Beast Continent has become the best opportunity for many nobles to expand their family territories and establish their own military exploits.
Baisha City is the opportunity of the Hundred Needles family, so Needle Jin is here to compete for the position of city lord this time.
From Ziti's point of view.
The Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was divided by the great nobles, and the president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce died because of this.
These elders of the Chamber of Commerce united around Zi Di were naturally hostile to these great nobles.
In this way, Zidi can only take refuge in members of the political camp of the imperial lineage.
Among these members, the powerful looked down on the remnants of the Chamber of Commerce of Zi Di.
Perhaps the complete Wisteria Chamber of Commerce could make their hearts flutter, but the current Chamber of Commerce had long been torn apart.
Those with medium strength also have concerns.
The purple tree can be said to be the essence of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. To accept them rashly is to be hostile to those powerful nobles in the empire.
The gains, losses, and risks need to be carefully considered.
Weak members, such as some court nobles, do not even have territory, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce cannot be placed.
At the same time, as the new leader of the Chamber of Commerce, Zidi also has her own scruples.
She tried not to choose a strong noble to take refuge in, after all, she was just a mage with black iron cultivation, and a noble who was too strong was very likely to annex the remaining Wisteria Chamber of Commerce in future cooperation.
After careful selection, Zidi took a fancy to the Hundred Needles family.
The current patriarch of the Hundred Needles family was a gold-level powerhouse who suffered heavy damage in his early years and lost his right arm.
The Hundred Needles family was once a great aristocrat in the south and had a long history. After being forced to defect to the empire, the Hundred Needles family was ostracized and suppressed, and now it can barely gain a foothold and is in urgent need of development and development.
The Hundred Needle family's territory was deprived, and the existing territory was lacking in products, and it was excluded by the surrounding territories. Therefore, the Hundred Needles family needs the channels of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and they value the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce far more than other families.
The most important thing is that the Baizhen family is also willing to pay the price, and does not hesitate to promise the Chamber of Commerce the marriage of the future family heir. And after the agreement was signed, an engagement ceremony was held to spread the news.
The various reasons for all this wonderfully created the unmarried couple of Needle and Zidi.
They have their own embarrassments, and they need each other strongly, not only their will, but also the will of the forces behind them.
Otherwise, how could such a dignified aristocrat as Needle be engaged to a woman with low bloodline?
"The Hundred Needles family can send the only heir to the temple first, and now to the frontline battlefield of Baisha City, bearing the huge risk of the heir dying in battle. This is a gamble!"
"The same goes for the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. There is no way out for either of us."
"No wonder Zidi has always been to me!"
Needle had a lot of thoughts, and finally understood the complex hidden truth.
Looking at the girl in front of him again, Needle felt closer in his heart.
Needle does not hate the alliance of interests, but approves of it.
The alliance of interests is usually more reliable than affection. Moreover, affection can also be cultivated.
Coupled with the marriage connection, Needle understood that Zidi would be his most reliable ally in the future.
Zi Di continued: "We took a sea boat, originally wanted to enter the Beast Continent and go to Baisha City to compete for the position of city lord, but during the voyage, we inexplicably encountered a shipwreck and finally came to this island."
Needle pondered: "So, what we have to do now is not only to save our lives and get out of here, but also to gather more men. Zidi, how many troops do I bring and how many reliable retainers do I have?"
Faced with this question, Zi Di hesitated rarely, she thought about it for a while, and then said: "My lord, you have the qualifications to compete for the lord of Baisha City, and you also have a natural strength that surpasses ordinary people. We went this time, mainly with the armed backbone of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and hired two well-known mercenary groups."
Needle was slightly stunned.
He heard it.
He has no retainers or troops on his side, he is just a light rod commander. As a last resort, they could only rely on the side of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and also hired two mercenary groups.
This is too embarrassing!
As the sole heir of a nobleman on the ground, he had to risk his life to fight for a future on the front line of war, and there was no direct army around him!
Compared with the mercenary group that takes money to do things, the armament of the wisteria caravan has become the most direct force of the needle.
"Has the Hundred Needles family fallen to this point? But none of them can't be reasonable." This abnormal situation made Needle frown.
Zidi explained: "There is indeed a group of people sent from the adult's family. But they were attacked by robbers on the way and the entire army was wiped out. At the same time, there are traces of frequent actions of goblins and ogres around the territory of the Hundred Needles family."
"We are worried that other contenders will arrive at Baisha City early and establish an early advantage. Therefore, we made the illusion of staying in place, but in fact disguised our identities, secretly set off, and took the Pig's Kiss to the sea."
The needle gold pupils shrank slightly, and snorted coldly: "It seems that the competition for the position of the lord of Baisha City is very fierce."
An elite troops of a noble family would actually be annihilated by the so-called robbers halfway.
And the current territory border of the Hundred Needles family was the hinterland a long time ago, how could there be room for goblins and ogres to live?
Thinking of something, Needle asked again: "Who is competing with me for the position of city lord? Are they in the same boat as us?"
Zidi shook her head: "There are two more in total, both of whom are colleagues of adults. They didn't share a boat with us."
The needle did not speak.
He was thinking.
This answer means that they don't need to face strong competitors with malicious intentions on this island. But at the same time, it is likely that the shipwreck was caused by these competitors.
Zi Di immediately said again: "However, my lord. With us was a temple minister named Scab. He is the assessor of this city lord competition. He is probably still alive, and it would be best if we could find him and bring him help."
"Scab?" Needle Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, thoughtful.
