Ding Kun had never seen so much gold in his life. He felt as if there was a gold leaf stuck in his throat, which made his heart beat fast. The conditions of the other elders were not much better than him. They all had their eyes fixed and they were swallowing saliva wildly.
Shen Xun's facial muscles trembled faintly, and he maintained a precarious smile, "Huajia Shiro is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is really generous."
Hua Yitang's eyes were as crescent-shaped as he swayed his small fan, "Hua has had this kind of temper since he was a child. He will spend a lot of money on behalf of his friends, but he will only retaliate against his enemies if he is angry with them."
Ding Kun shuddered. He suddenly felt a biting chill. He even had the illusion that the shadow of the eaves had become a spirit, climbing over Hua Yitang's petal-like clothes, spreading and growing behind him, turning into a ghost. A huge black peony in full bloom.
The implication of Shiro Kaiya's words is very clear: if he becomes Hua's friend, he will be popular and drink spicy food in the future. If he becomes his enemy, Hua will crush them as easily as crushing ants.
Ding Kun knew that what Hua Yitang said was not a bluff.
The Jing Sect is no better than an ordinary martial arts sect, so it naturally has a clearer view of the Hua family than others. Everyone says that the head of the Hua family, Hua Yihuan, is extremely talented and is an unparalleled business genius. He has just become the Hua family today, but the Jing family has The people in the sect naturally knew that business wars were more brutal than battlefields, and the blood and flesh flying without weapons was the most terrifying. He still remembered how Hua Yihuan was preparing to seize the Eastern Capital with him ten years ago. The Bai family in Qingzhou's commercial territory was eating away at it bit by bit, forcing the head of the Bai family to fall seriously ill for three months, retreating to his hometown in Qingzhou, settling in a corner, and never daring to step out of Qingzhou again.
Compared with Hua Yihuan, Hua Yitang's methods are even more ruthless.
During the business war with the Bai family in Qingzhou, Hua Yihuan was too young to be crowned. It took two years of fighting between the two great families before the Bai family showed defeat. Today, Hua Yitang is only sixteen years old. In seven days, the all-powerful Feng family was kicked to the ground. Hua Yihuan at least saved half of Qingzhou Bai family's life, but Hua Yitang unceremoniously crushed Feng family to ashes.
Not only Ding Kun understood it, but everyone also understood it. The expressions of several elders were extremely twisted and tangled, just like their state of mind at this time.
Shen Xun couldn't hold back his smile and stared coldly at Hua Yitang. Hua Yitang was not polite and glared back fiercely. The two sides were facing each other and it was about to break out.
Even though she was mentally prepared when she came, Ling Zhiyan was still secretly frightened, thinking that people in the world were all engaged in business that licked blood at the edge of the knife, and none of them was a fuel-efficient lamp. What Hanashiro said was like putting a knife on their necks. Are you really not afraid of driving them into a panic?
Thinking of this, Ling Zhiyan hurriedly touched Lin Sui'an and motioned for her to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, Lin Sui'an slapped Qian Jing on the table with a "snap" sound. The sound of Qian Jing's knife made the whole table buzz. Sound.
The expressions of everyone in Dongdu Jingmen were suddenly shocked.
Ling Zhiyan: "..."
Madam Lin, why are you still adding fuel to the fire? !
At this moment, Jin Ruo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed quietly, grabbed a piece of shortbread and ate it, "It's a pity, there is no palace jade liquor here."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Sui'an knew that he was safe.
Hua Yitang smiled and said, "Ah, my Jin Ruo is good at everything, but he can't keep his mouth shut and makes the elders laugh."
The tense atmosphere in the admiration building suddenly relaxed, and everyone in Dongdu Jingmen breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Xun picked up the smiling face that fell on the ground and hung it back up, and said, "Shopkeeper Ma, send two jars of Egret brew for our young master to try."
This was another tacit signal that the process of testing each other was over and the business was about to get down to business. The rest of the group quickly left.
Shopkeeper Ma and Mu Xia immediately led their people out of the building to view the building.
Seeing that Ling Zhiyan still had a question mark, Lin Sui'an turned to the side and explained quietly, "Jin Ruo has been studying it for several days and speculates that the biggest flaw in the disguise technique is that it cannot imitate people's micro-expressions."
Just now, she and Hua Yitang had ridiculed and threatened everyone in Dongdu Jingmen, in order to elicit their different emotions and expressions so that Jin Ruo could identify Yun Zhongyue's true identity.
Ling Zhi's face really showed through, and she nodded slightly.
Lin Sui'an quietly moved his wrists, thinking to himself: Yun Zhongyue is an elusive person, with unknown enemies and friends, strange kung fu, and unpredictable background. If he is here, he is a time bomb. If he is stabbed in the back at the critical moment, he can be stabbed in the back. It would be bad. It would be best if he is not here. It is a good time to concentrate on dealing with Dongdu Jingmen.
Shen Xun took out the scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Yitang: "This is the contract drafted by Shen. I also ask Hua Silang and Mrs. Lin to read it."
The content of the contract is very simple, with only two items:
[The Jingmen branch of Dongdu is willing to pay one thousand gold to buy Qianjing. 】
[Since the date of the transaction, Dongdu Jingmen Branch will not charge any fees for providing any information to Hua. 】
Hua Yitang nodded: "It is indeed consistent with the cooperation intention discussed before."
Shen Xun: "Dongdu Jingmen always sticks to their word. I believe Huajia Silang and Lady Lin are also people who stick to their word."
"Hua Shi is the most honest person in business," Hua Yitang waved his fan and said, "As long as the contract is reasonable, there will be no regrets."
Shen Xun smiled: "In that case, let me ask you two to sign and sign -"
"But the problem now is that someone bids higher than Dongdu Jingmen," Hua Yitang interrupted Shen Xun, "Hua is a businessman, and profit comes first. Naturally, the one with the highest price will get it!"
Shen Xun narrowed his eyes: "I wonder who the bidder Hanashiro is talking about?"
"It's me!" Jin Ruo raised his hand while chewing dried longan, "I promise that from now on, the Jingmen Yangdu Main Altar and branch altars in various parts of the Tang Dynasty will not charge any fees for providing any information to the Hua family."
Shen Xun's face twitched fiercely: "What——"
"Hua has done some calculations. The news about Dongdu Jingmen's branch altar is worth at most three thousand gold a year. Including the price of selling Qianjing, it's only a mere four thousand gold." Hua Yitang "deliberately" glanced at the five thousand gold shining With the dazzling "meeting gift", seeing that the ten elders were losing their temper, they gently tapped their palms with their fans and continued, "But if you cooperate with Jin Ruo, the news about cleansing houses in various parts of the Tang Dynasty is worth at least 40,000 gold a year." !”
Shen Xun's face darkened: "Huashiro, don't say I didn't remind you that Jin Ruo can only make promises for the Yangdu Jingmen at most, and he can't make the decision at all in the different regions!"
Hua Yitang frowned slightly: "What Elder Shen said is reasonable. Hua also felt that this was a big problem, but she didn't want to give up such a good deal, so she thought hard for several days and finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds." Fan Zi, "As long as Jin Ruozong takes control of all the pure sects in the Tang Dynasty, won't my deal be completed?"
Shen Xun was stunned: "What did you say?!"
"You can only get one thousand gold from selling Qianjing, but if Mrs. Lin and Qianjing are together, she can help Jin Ruo collect all the Jingmen sub-jars back to the main altar, and the Hua family will make a net profit of forty thousand gold, ah ah, Shen How does the elder think Hua should choose?"
Shen Xun and the other elders stood up and shouted angrily: "What a Hua Yitang, it turns out that you planned to destroy the Dongdu Jingmen from the very beginning!"
Hua Yitang Shiran stood up and smoothed his sleeves slowly, "This is really an injustice to Hua. Aren't you the ones who deceived me with sweet words and set up an ambush when they came?"
The third elder shouted angrily: "Since we have already broken up, why should we talk nonsense with him? Let's--"
"Wha—" A strange green light came like lightning. The third elder felt a sudden coldness on the top of his head. His bun fell to the ground with a clatter. Before his hair was spread out, another green light struck from top to bottom. Next, he had never seen such a fast knife. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to react. He felt that the green knife light, carrying the inevitable piercing murderous intent, split his whole body into two halves.
It’s the Lord of Qianjing, Lin Sui’an!
When this thought flashed through his mind, the third elder saw a thin thread of blood floating in the air, reflecting the endless blue sky, and the color was extremely bright. Hua Yitang stood in the shadows waving his fan and smiled at him. The smile was eerie and strange, like Bai Wuchang from hell. The third elder heard the screams from behind him, and the sound of blades clashing could not be heard. He couldn't help but feel sad. It turned out that That legend is true. If the killing knife is fast enough, the person killed will not feel pain at all, and may even retain consciousness for a few breaths after death. His body has become cold, and his soul must be about to leave the body. ——
Suddenly, the third elder was shocked. He saw the fourth elder lying on the ground, with a bald patch on his head, his upper body was naked, and his clothes had gone somewhere. A thin line of blood was drawn from the top of his head to his belly, but when he looked again , the skin was only scratched, not life-threatening.
The third elder suddenly came to his senses and was shocked to realize that his whole body was cold because he had been stripped of his clothes, and he was not dead either! But the terrifying feeling of dying penetrated deep into his bones, making his whole body stiff and unable to move.
Of course, Lin Sui'an would not kill them. Although rumors spread that she was a hero and could fight one against a hundred, Lin Sui'an still had a very clear positioning of herself. She was just a dabbler who had traveled through time and had been defeated before. Most of the sixty Jin Yuwei were pretentious and attacked in batches, which allowed her to take advantage of the opportunity. If the one hundred people ambushed downstairs really rushed up, the situation would definitely be extremely critical.
Therefore, the fastest and most efficient tactic this time is-quick victory! Capture the thief first and capture the king!
As long as Shen Xun and others are caught, no matter whether it is an ambush of a hundred people or an ambush of a thousand people, it is a waste of money. The two-handed moves that he learned from his previous fight with Jin Yuwei are the most suitable. Lin Sui'an knocks people with the scabbard of his left hand and chops people with the sword edge of his right hand. It is clean and neat, getting twice the result with half the effort.
It has to be said that when it comes to martial arts, Jin Ruo is indeed the leader among the Jingmen. He can at least fight with her for more than ten rounds. The fighting ability of these elders is a bit tragic. Eighty percent of them have inherited the tradition of the Jingmen. They only use their mouths. His artillery skills were acceptable, but when he really used his hands, he was not even as good as Jin Yuwei's minions. Lin Sui'an knocked out four elders three times, and the wind of his sword split the clothes of the other four elders. He was about to attack them. The ninth one saw the elder screaming "Ah ah ah ah" twice, twisting his body like an earthworm, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Could it be that her sword skills have reached the point where she can kill people invisible?
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Ding Kun, the tenth elder. He had obviously fainted, and his eyeballs were still moving crazily under his eyelids. Good guy, this guy is too thief, he actually pretended to be dead?
Lin Sui'an was moved by this man's superb acting skills, and decided to let him go for the time being, and turned around to chop Shen Xun. Shen Xun stepped back repeatedly, with the knife in his hand waving wildly, and his eyes were red with anger, "Where are our people? What's wrong with us? Haven’t come up yet?!”
"Everyone is here." Jin Ruo replied from afar. Shen Xun turned his head and looked around, barely vomiting blood. He saw Jin Ruo and Ling Zhiyan squatting at the entrance of the stairs to the viewing tower, waiting. There was only one entrance to the viewing tower, and it was extremely narrow and clean. No matter how much the disciples scrambled to be the first, only two people could come forward at a time. Jin Ruo and Ling Zhiyan were like whack-a-mole, and the beating was extremely satisfying.
With this dazzling moment, Lin Sui'an's knife wind had arrived, and was about to chop Shen Xun into a white chicken. At the critical moment, a black horizontal knife stabbed out, holding Qian Jing in place. It was that Lin Sui'an, the young man in charge of holding the battle, heard Ding Kun call his name on the way, which seemed to be "Tianshu".
His name sounds like he is a master, but once they fight, Lin Sui'an immediately recognizes the depth. This person's skill is at least as good as Jin Ruo's. He just ignores Qian Jing and presses him down hard. Tianshu's forehead explodes. Qing Vein, trying his best to resist, Shen Xun seized the opportunity and struck back with a backhand knife. Lin Sui'an's moves were old and he didn't dare to push up. He stepped back half a step on his toes, suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind, and Qian Jing's head was wrapped around him. After swinging around and repelling several sword winds, there were five more young people behind him, surrounding him ten steps away, with bright eyes. They were the Seven Stars who came with Tianshu today.
There were five black flying claws hanging on the guardrails around the viewing tower. They must have used these to climb up the viewing tower. Lin Sui'an was startled and quickly turned around to search for Hua Yitang's traces, but saw that the dude had retreated to Lingzhiyan. Next to him, he was helping to kick people, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This dude is really good at escaping.
Shen Xun: "Where's the Fluctlight?!"
"Some of the brothers on the third floor were held back by Hua's servants." Tianxuan replied urgently.
Shen Xun gritted his teeth and said, "I'll set up the formation for Yaoguang!"
Tianshu and others shouted in unison, and in the next moment, the seven people stepped on Bagua Steps, their bodies moved around, and surrounded Lin Sui'an in the center.
Lin Sui'an: Oh! Could this be the legendary Seven Star Formation? !
Shen Xun: "Lin Sui'an, hand over Qian Jing quickly. Maybe I can keep your body intact!"
Let's talk harsh words. Although she is not familiar with it, she has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away!
Lin Sui'an: "I advise you to kneel down and beg for mercy quickly, otherwise - that... you won't be able to eat and walk around!" After thinking about it, he added "Eat dog shit!" Better than nothing to heighten the atmosphere.
Hua Yitang over there kicked him in the air and almost rolled down the stairs, but was dragged back by Ling Zhiyan and Jin Ruo.
"Too much bullying!" Shen Xun suddenly rushed over with a horizontal sword.
Lin Sui'an did not dare to neglect, and reached the top of his speed. He first tested the waters with a heart-breaking move. Shen Xun's body was on one side, and his whole body was like a bent bamboo. He slid out close to the ground and met Jin Ruo's The tactic of sticking to the ground was the same. At the same time, four sword beams attacked from all sides, from the front, back, left, and right, with overwhelming killing intent. Lin Sui'an had no choice but to give up on Shen Xun, lowered his chest and waist, and repeated his old trick of sticking to the ground and swinging out. Qian Jing used the "Beheaded Like Animals" move to pick up the hamstrings of four people. Unexpectedly, they were easily dodged by him. Three more swords pierced from the outside and went straight to Lin Sui'an's right hand, left hand and right foot. , and actually used the technique of "Being cut like an animal".
The two waves of attacks, one after the other, coordinated extremely smoothly, which was beyond Lin Sui'an's expectations. Lin Sui'an immediately changed his moves and used his hands to perform a "high imitation version" of Double Dragon Leaping to the Sea, forcing back the attacks directed at his hands and slashing to them. But the move with his right foot was too late. In desperation, he could only use the inertia of the sword to fly in the air and narrowly avoid it. Qian Jing swung around like a hot wheel——
"Tsk——" A streak of plasma turned in a beautiful arc in mid-air and landed at the same time as Lin Sui'an.
Shen Xun and others suddenly retreated ten steps away and stared at Lin Sui'an in shock.
Lin Sui'an stood upright and clicked his tongue. Although the blow just now did not hurt the bones and veins, it made a cut in the calf. The blood flowed down the calf into the shoe, making it wet and uncomfortable.
This was the first time since Dong Chao that someone could hurt her.
Tianshu: "Just, that move just now was——"
Shen Xun: "Jiang Chen, the Golden Feather Guard's famous stunt, Double Dragon Goes to Sea!"
Tianshu: "Why did you use this trick?!"
Lin Sui'an shook his neck and said casually, "I learned this trick by the way when I was fighting with Jiang Chen a few days ago."
The pupils of the seven people opposite them shrank violently.
Lin Sui'an chuckled softly, and the river wind blew up, raising the broken hair at the temples, making his phoenix eyes become more narrow and sharp. There is one word to express it: on the surface, he is as calm as an old dog, but on the inside he is panicked.
Finished! This time I really hit a blind spot in knowledge. She is a modern social creature and has no understanding of ancient formations! :,,
