A while ago, the house where Chu Xin lived was in disrepair and could not withstand the miserable wind and rain in autumn. What's more, it happened to be located around the edge of the Yaoya Inn, which was unsightly. Although Jiang Baigui was not very well-off recently, he could not stand it. If you can afford this kind of money, you will naturally invite reputable craftsmen in the city to come and repair them. They will remove all the old wood that has been eaten by insects for many years and select the good wood that has its own fragrant fragrance and lasts for a long time. This house is fully furnished so that you can live comfortably.
He is a businessman after all, and according to many people's opinions, Jiang Baigui chose to settle here on his own, abandoning the big businessmen in the city, but wanted to drink here all day long, which was not what he wanted at all. Instead, they temporarily avoided the limelight in this increasingly dangerous city. After all, for the first time in many years, the three families of Zhang, Wang, and Li took action at the same time to deal with a junior who clearly did not have much power in Shanlan City. Not to mention the foundation, being able to have this honor is really due to Bai Gui's own profound ability. If it were an ordinary person, let alone two or three years, it might not be able to last even ten days. After so many years, Only Jiang Baigui was able to cope with the pressure from the three families at the same time. Unfortunately, his success failed, and in the end no Jiang family prospered.
What ordinary people cannot do may not be a good thing. At first, when Jiang Baigui joined forces with the three families, it was a good thing for Shanlan City to talk about. However, after Jiang Baigui backed down and gave up on such disputes, even the slim inn was established. At that time of the year, there were only a few people around, and it was obvious that people were paying for their food, so they really had a tight conscience, but there were still a few people coming to the door. Some people say that Jiang Baigui brought six or seven boxes of treasures to three houses and gradually visited them. After being rejected for more than a month, he reluctantly established this slim house in the city. No one knows what Jiang Baigui left behind. Mianpi had done something, but fortunately in the future, the three families would no longer squeeze this young man too much.
There are probably a few rumors in the city. The first is that Jiang Baigui went to the house to apologize one by one with the heads of the three families of Zhang Wang and Li. He gave up all the face he could, so that he could be an idle inn owner in this city and never see him again in this life. There is no hope of fighting with those three families again, and no matter how hard they try, it is their own fault that they are in the current situation.
Secondly, some people say that this young man who made a fortune for no reason was originally a branch of the three families. However, because the three families of Shanlan City have long been inseparable, and there has never been a reason to run against each other and cause chaos, he was sent out as a last resort. The young man, who was born with considerable talent for business, forcibly stirred up trouble and disrupted the situation that had been maintained for a long time, thus logically turning the square-inch chessboard into a mess. Taking advantage of this season to eat two more seeds, although it is only a slight evolution, but no matter how long the time goes, maybe this sporadic victory will evolve into a big victory.
Some people sigh with regret, some are gloating about his misfortune, and some want to comment on Jiang Baigui's negligence and mistakes. If he had accumulated so much money, he would have to tear off at least two families from three, but there are very few people. Thinking of it, when Jiang Baigui was at his peak, the three families of Zhang, Wang and Li almost gave away all their profits and no longer acted like they used to collect as much as they did in the past.
Jiang Baigui has rarely had time to drink recently. Today, when Tian Tian was feeling a little drowsy, he knocked on the door of Yunzhong's house with a jar of hard-to-buy good wine.
Chu Xin managed to survive until she could have some free time, but she happened to catch up with the renovation of the house, and couldn't afford to occupy someone else's house, so she simply went to Yunzhong's house to rest for a while, but she didn't have enough time to regain her strength. Three weeks passed, and I fell into a deep sleep. I did not forget to hum two or three times in my sleep, imitating the tone of the lonely old man and calling him a few "straight bitches". However, I did not see too many changes in my Qi all day long. , it’s okay to be a bird. Yun Zhong, who was sitting cross-legged in the house, was quite dumbfounded, but he could always think of the time when he went up the mountain and walked the Shiwan Mountain. He seemed to be not much inferior to this boy.
Sooner or later, Jiang Baigui would come to have a long talk with him, and it was already planned by Yun Zhong. This man was handsome, and he was probably born with a certain amount of nobility, but his eyes were like those of princes and nobles, and he knew how to fight with elegance all day long. The young masters of Zou Niao are very different. When their eyes flash, there is always a bit of ambition, but this ambition is not necessarily a disaster.
The two of them were just chatting. The waiter knew that he was the innkeeper and valued the young man very much. He added more and more side dishes to the original dish. It was a shallow plate the size of a palm. The top of the pile of side dishes was half a foot high. , it is a perfect fit, Yun Zhong needs to be cautious, so as not to
The little dish was knocked down, and he was very frightened. He laughed so hard that Jiang Baigui slapped Yun Zhong's thigh repeatedly. Unfortunately, maybe he was afraid of pain, so he slapped Yun Zhong's thigh hard.
"This road is difficult. This is what Brother Wei has learned since he was a child. The three families are deeply entrenched and intertwined in the city. Not to mention Jiang Baigui, and two or three more may not be their opponents, but they just know a little bit of tricks. I have little ability so that nothing can go wrong, and I have to slowly maintain it to this point. At best, it means retreating from the rapids, and at worst, it means being cowardly, so that I can keep a way out."
Sure enough, even if it was true, Tian Nan Hai Bei was just talking nonsense, and in the end it had to be boiled down to this matter. Yun Zhong picked up the vegetables calmly, but did not stop listening to Jiang Bai Gui's emotion. He only felt that the taste of this side dish was really a bit sour, and the hard work involved It’s not easy. If you haven’t really gone through such a journey, I’m afraid no one knows about it.
"Brother Jiang, all your righteousness is in the wine." Yun Zhong raised his glass, but shook his head helplessly, "Unfortunately, until now, the foolish brother has not been able to reach that level, which is enough to protect the elder brother from worries, and it is even more difficult for him to act recklessly in the world. Blocking it, how can it make Shang Jin go forward? I am really powerless. I advise Brother Jiang to put down these thoughts for the time being. Never think like this again. The Yaoya Tower will definitely be built one day. As for replacing it, it is better to get rid of this thought as soon as possible. "
It is no different from telling Jiang Baigui that he has no such ability, let alone his intentions, and is innocent and innocent.
But Jiang Baigui still shook his head.
"According to Brother Yu's plan, if the war between the Zhengzhang Royal Court and the Xu Meng Mansion has not stopped by the beginning of next spring at the latest, I am almost 100% sure that I will intercept all the weapons, armor, silver and money sent from the Zhengzhang Royal Court to the city. In his arms, he has been busy since the beginning of the war. Unfortunately, these people in the city who are skilled in blacksmithing are really afraid of the power of the three families and are not willing to change. Until now, they see these three families pressing forward step by step, almost trying to swallow up 70% to 80% of them. The benefits are so great that he finally made up his mind to join me. He has been doing this for a long time and only missed this opportunity." Jiang Baigui looked at Yun Zhong with a cup in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Isn't it possible that Brother Yun will be leaving soon? Leaving the city? That’s why there is the so-called powerlessness?”
Yun Zhong smiled, "Of course I can't hide it from Brother Jiang. It's probably a good time tonight. The autumn rain will come, which will make it more cool and comfortable."
It has always been known that Jiang Baigui has many spies in the city, and he is indeed well-informed. He has a way to get quite fresh information about the war. Yun Zhong naturally knows this person's ability, so he can guess what he will get today. Knowing that something happened in the city, he wanted to leave the city on his way, so he was not surprised at all.
The sudden actions of King Zhang and Li San's family a few days ago are really unpredictable. Fortunately, with such cultivation, they can naturally do many convenient things, so it is not difficult to find out the changes in the city. However, Yun Zhong does not know exactly what means Jiang Baigui used to infiltrate these three families.
"The old gentleman with the broken palm has to forge swords outside the city for several months. Naturally, there is no need to force Brother Yun to stay here. Only when a dragon returns to the sea can he be at ease, and when a fish enters the stream can he swim freely. Of course, he cannot live in the city for a long time, but But I have to ask Brother Yun for one thing. If it is the time to leave the city tonight, and I can use my magical power to stop the soldiers of Xumeng Mansion, I don’t need to kill them, I just need to shock their minds. I have to be there. To build momentum in the city, only by keeping the balance firmly in this way can the three families not be underestimated too much, and the three families will not be trapped in a fight."
"Every dyke that is thousands of miles long often collapses in an ant nest. The three families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Everyone wants to put the ordinary people in the city who make a living by working hard at their crafts on their own chopping block. It is better to just let them fight openly and secretly, and I will reap the benefits. Isn’t it beautiful?”
Looking at Jiang Baigui's face, which was very happy and full of energy, Yun Zhong was quite happy to pour a ladle of cold water on it.
"Brother Jiang still owes me a reason."
As if he had expected Yun Zhong to ask this question, Jiang Baigui nodded and sat back down, putting down the cup before saying, "After thinking about it for a long time, the key is probably that you are in the game. If you make it big, you may not become Zhang." The greedy people in the Wang and Li family have thought about it again and again. It is true that everyone is greedy and selfish, but since they hope that everyone in this city will have something to settle down in the future, of course they have to give up something. Maybe based on this This move will make it clear that I am not in the situation, but still hold the sharpest sword in Shanlan City."
"I'll cover up the arrogance under my nose. If Brother Yun wants to visit this city from time to time, he might as well take a look at the weather of this city. Although he won't be able to reap the benefits, there are always trade-offs in everything. .”
As the autumn rain fell to the ground, Chu Xin, who should have been sleeping, stood up suddenly. He looked sleepily at the dazzling thunder outside the window lattice, and then he took a deep breath, completely mistaking the thunder outside for the infinite sword energy.
The continuous autumn rain came quickly, and the outside of the city soon became muddy. When the soldiers of Xumeng Mansion received the report, they mounted their horses one after another to kill all the soldiers and horses of the royal court in the main tent, which was only a short distance away and could catch up in a hundred breaths. A big snake came down the mountain, its light was shining brightly, its sword energy was flowing and tilting, its head was raised and its tail was raised, and it intercepted the soldiers of Xumeng Mansion.
A swordsman in blue and white clothes sat above the big white snake, holding his sword finger in his hand and laughing that the road was blocked.
