"Azhao, what do you mean?"
Tu Fei was baffled by Tang Zhao's sudden conditions, and left for the time being, saying: "You'd better think about it in the long term." After he left, everyone including Jinwu gathered around and asked Tang Zhao what he meant.
Jiang Shenyi was still direct and asked: "The proposal of those eight swordsmen is to squeeze us out, why do you still add more people? Nine people? Eleven people? We can't get that many people, can we? Why do you want to kill that person? They're just making fun of the small number of people we have. Anyway, we really can't get eight people together? If it's four swordsmen and four fighters, then that's it. Where can we find eight swordsmen? Are you trying to deceive him? But if he How will it end if you really agree?"
Tang Zhao said with a smile: "If you agree, just agree. If we agree, we will let them go. These days, we have contacted several other teams sent by our family. If it doesn't work, we can just borrow people. If we say to others, we will hire them with money." Yes, ten or eight can get together no matter what. Now we can even transfer people from Yunzhou in time."
Seeing that several people were still confused, Tang Zhao said: "I am not looking for trouble. I want to test Sunset Manor to see if there are any other shadows behind him?"
Jinwu asked: "Do you suspect that he is a gang of thieves? Yes, Wu Shayu... this name sounds very annoying! But what is your basis?"
Tang Zhao said: "It can only be said that there is some suspicion, but there is no basis for it. The first one is why he mentioned exactly eight people? Let's do the math ourselves. If we follow the original configuration of the eldest young master, we can only bring out seven. A swordsman. First, Wu Shayu proposed eight people, and then asked Tufei to give up the line. It was reduced to seven people, which was our bottom line. It was easy to accept it all of a sudden. I was wondering if someone knew about us earlier. The bottom line is that you are deliberately colluding with outsiders and trying to trick us into a trap, right?"
After everyone listened, most of them understood that the words "know the bottom line" pointed to Xing Cang.
Jiang Shenyi said: "So what you suspected was not the turtle bandits, but Xing Cang? That's much simpler."
Bai Zhi, who was standing next to her, shook her head and said: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, this is too forced. Eight and four are commonly used numbers. They may be ordinary conditions, and there may not be any conspiracy. To say the least, even if there is, we It’s not difficult to find out the truth about Yi Xing. With a little calculation, you can guess that it’s almost the same. It’s not necessarily leaked from the inside, right?”
Tang Zhao said: "Yes, I also think it may not be Xingcang. But since I have doubts, I might as well test it out. There is another section that gives me the feeling that the formulation of Sunset Manor is illogical and does not exploit its strengths and avoid weaknesses. Outsiders say that Sunset Manor The family has a big business and a lot of talents. However, as far as I know, Sunset Manor has experienced a disaster. Just half a year ago, it was burned and killed. The losses should be considerable. In this case, Old Man Wu’s men How many swordsmen are there? Even if there are more than eight swordsmen, how can they take out so many at once? You know that swordsmen may be injured in every game. He has not recovered his strength, but he still dares to squander his family wealth like this? "
"If he is just bluffing and forcing us to choose the four swordsman option, that option is also unreasonable. You must know that he was once attacked outside the manor and relied on internal defense to survive. In other words, he has some skills outside. The enemy is watching eagerly. If I were him, I should build my home into a fortress, so that needles cannot penetrate and water cannot be poured in. How can so many outsiders be introduced into the manor? In case someone destroys the foundation, I can take advantage of it afterwards. If he enters in vain, isn't it a disaster? Why do you think this two-choice pair is a trap for him? This is called illogical."
"So I think the other party may have another purpose. I can't guess the details yet, so I'll give him a try. How about asking him to send nine swordsmen each? If not, eleven, thirteen... can Keep adding more, if you want to fight for the foundation, fight for it. Not to mention eight swordsmen, so what about eight swordsmen? Anyway, we have backing." He glanced at the white fox.
The white fox raised his paw and said, "We don't have many people. We can only have six swordsmen at most."
Everyone smiled in unison.
At the poker table, if your bankroll is strong enough, it's not cheating but it feels like cheating. No matter how good your poker skills are, it cannot compare to unlimited resources.
Jin Wu nodded and said: "Okay, let's give it a try. But we don't have much time. The pursuit of Sunset Manor is also a business matter, and it should be completed before the Deep Shadow Society. If we go on and on like this, it will be endless and delay other things. thing."
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "Yes. So I go to Sunset Manor?"
Jinwu said: "Send you to go to Sunset Manor to negotiate with Tufei? That's okay. It's time for you to go to Jiliang Mountain. You can't just huddle together at the foot of the mountain. Besides, Sunset Manor is a big target. You go and explore it. Let's take a look and see if it is the same as we guessed. If it is different, don't bother, just tell him that we will break up and let's not compete. If there is really an aura of destruction, we may have to continue to deal with it. But you have to go up the mountain. I can’t live without you either.”
Tang Zhao said: "Let Your Highness make the decision on this matter. You are blessed by blessings. If you are in trouble, just trust your intuition. My companions are all talents, and they will not go wrong in assisting you... If you feel that it is not enough, then I will bring another one." The big trouble is gone."
…
When Tu Fei came to listen to the answer the next day, Jin Wu calmly reiterated his conditions. They had many people in Changfa Manor, what did Ba Chang have to fear? It doesn't matter if there are sixteen games, the location can be in Yulang City, or in Mengliang Mountain, or even Sunset Manor. Changfa Manor covers all the expenses for holding the sword fight. Even if he loses, he will pay, but the sooner the better. If Sunset Manor delays, it is because he is afraid of Changfa Manor and makes excuses to delay the time. Don't blame Changfa Manor. The publicity of Fa Manor spread throughout the city.
In order to show their sincerity and determination that this negotiation must be successful, Changfa Manor sent two envoys to meet the owner of Wushayu Manor.
These two people are General Manager Xing Cang and Deputy General Manager Xing Shichi. In the Changfa Manor, there are only one person under one person, and there are more than ten thousand...hundred people. What is the difference between asking these two people to come forward, and the young master coming in person?
In the face of the eldest young master's generous reward, Tufei reluctantly agreed to go again.
Xing Cang was called by the eldest young master to go to Sunset Manor for negotiation, but he was actually very calm. Until the eldest young master stuffed a white fox into his arms in front of him.
Xing Cang instinctively reached out and hugged him, but the white fox stepped over him in displeasure and jumped on Xing Qi.
"This is my young master's sword elephant. It's the same as taking her with me in person. If you have anything to say when you get there, just say it and I'll tell you the truth. As long as I'm here, the sky won't fall."
Xing Cang glanced at Bai Hu, then at the eldest young master, and said respectfully: "Yes."
So Tang Zhao and the large army temporarily separated and went up to the Gangliang Mountain first. Because he took Xing Cang away, he suddenly felt relaxed and could move more flexibly. As for him and Ling Baoyu leaving together, will it suddenly weaken the high-end combat power here - with the Golden Crow here, how high is high?
On the contrary, the reason why Tang Zhao decided to bring Ling Baoyu with him was because there were two great enemies, Xing Cang and Sunset Manor, and they had to consider the possibility of collusion between them. They had to fight away from home in Zongliang Mountain to increase their combat power in order to feel confident. Everyone agrees on this.
After all, they have been at the foot of Wangliang Mountain for more than half a month, and they have not yet climbed up to Wangliang Mountain. This progress is very frustrating. But after contacting Wei Changle and learning about the dangers of the Changfa Manor, he couldn't get involved easily. Now that the information on the sides of the two mountains has been collected completely, it is time to explore the road head-on. It is best to let Tang Zhao take a front stand first.
In order to show the wealth of Changfa Manor, the two chief and deputy managers each drove in a car. Each car was followed by a swordsman and eight sword slaves, carrying precious gifts. The pomp was almost as good as that of Changyi Manor. Terrace manor. If it weren't for the purpose of not embarrassing Tu Fei, the head of the village, it wouldn't be difficult to prepare a car for the two of them to pass the head of the village.
Tang Zhao asked Xing Wu to follow Xing Cang in the car, and asked Xing Jiu to follow Xing Cang. He did not take any of his own people up the mountain. This time going up the mountain was considered as exploring the way. He was not sure yet, and it might not be of any use to let his companions who had the most swordsmen follow them.
A group of dozens of people left Yulang City and headed up to the Gangliang Mountain.
After traveling for more than ten miles, we actually... got stuck in a traffic jam.
Tang Zhao was greatly surprised. Can there be a traffic jam in a place like this?
After getting out of the car, Tang Zhao took a quick look and realized that he and others were too conservative. I thought that the reason why I almost passed Tuzhuangtou in driving was because I wasted too much money, but now I saw the impressive team of carriages and horses in front of me, I realized: maybe the first-level manor of Changyi Manor is too poor.
There were actually only three or four families in the front of the convoy, but each family had at least a few hundred people and dozens of carts, and slaves, fighters and even swordsmen were all watching. These motorcades were waiting in line to enter Jiuliang Mountain. Unfortunately, not all of the convoy is from Zongliang Mountain. They have to go through the narrow entrance inspection in front of the mountain gate. Doesn't this block the road?
This was probably the first time that Tu Fei had encountered this situation, and he said angrily: "Where did the nouveau riche come from? A group of outsiders actually put on such a show in Guliang Mountain, who do they think they are? I really thought that the Deep Shadow Society was about to come. Is there no one who can cure you? If there were no important matters at hand, you would have been killed long ago..."
In fact, what he said is not bad. If it weren't for the Deep Shadow Society, which has an unspoken rule of "not to do anything to the God of Wealth who comes to your doorstep," how would outsiders dare to show off like this at the foot of the mountain? In the past, any wealth that was close to the Gangliang Mountain would be regarded as fish on the anvil by default. No rich man who is not strong enough dares to approach the Gangliang Mountain, which is said to gather all the evil in the world. Like Tufei, a man who loves money as much as his life, he felt jealous and greedy when he saw that these foreign fat sheep could not even eat a bite.
Xing Cang, who had been sitting in the big car since leaving Yulang City, suddenly opened the door and got out of the car. He smiled and said: "Master Zhuangtou, we are all our own people, shall we go to Yinglangqiao?"
Tu Fei was stunned and hesitated slightly.
Xing Cang smiled and said: "Yinglang Bridge can lead directly to the first and second steps. It does not take a long way, but is a shortcut. Although we will be close to that place, we are all slaves of the two masters. There is nothing wrong with getting closer. good?"
Tufei pondered for a while and said: "It is indeed a shortcut there, especially close to the Sunset Manor. It's just that I haven't left for a long time, and I'm afraid it will become more difficult to go there. That's all, you two, be careful. There aren't many third-level manors. No one cares about me."
Xing Cang said: "Yes." He turned to Tang Zhao and said: "Ah Qi, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month. How about you get in my car and we drive together?"
