The end is decided.
Li Wangbai, who was covered in blood, raised his head like a dead dog and struggled to breathe: "You all... have to stay with me..."
Snapped!
Huo Zeyou stepped back on his words.
He did not kill him directly, but asked Zhou Che: "Can I just kill him directly?"
Zhou Che smiled and said, "Does the Huo family have wine?"
Everyone was stunned.
Huo Pingzhang nodded: "Of course."
Soon, a jar of strong wine was delivered.
Zhou Che corked the bottle and asked Gai Yue to hold Li Wangbai's hair and push him to the wine jar.
Everyone became more and more puzzled.
Li Wangbai, who was full of sorrow, was also puzzled.
"Everyone!"
Zhou Che pulled out his sword and shouted to everyone: "Today we have vowed to plan great things, how can we do without strong drinks?"
"Although Li Wangbai's status is a little lower, he can still be used."
"I will use his blood to drink wine and make an alliance, and I will use his head to make three sacrifices to heaven!"
What! ?
After hearing this, everyone looked horrified.
"No!!!"
Li Wangbai, whose head was pressed, roared and struggled with his last strength.
He couldn't accept this ending!
I still have a bright future, and I still have a team that can conquer the war.
For a person like himself, even if he was going to die, he should die on the battlefield, or fight in a series of battles with the enemy.
How could he die so hastily? So cowardly? !
There is no such script in the world!
"Well--"
His anger, unwillingness, sorrow, grief... everything flowed out after a cut on his throat.
His hair was pulled, his neck was pressed forward, and a thin spurt of blood was poured into the wine jar, exactly like when a chicken was killed and bled during the Chinese New Year.
His body was still twitching, and his mouth was still opening and closing silently, like a dehydrated fish.
Tears appeared and welled up in the eyes that had been so unruly in the past.
boom!
Finally, enough blood was enough.
He was thrown aside by Zhou Che holding his head.
The breath was not exhausted, the wound was open, and life continued to flow away, making him suffer from pain and fear of death.
Zhou Che glanced at him contemptuously.
Take a deep breath and pick up the wine jar.
The blood that had just been poured into the altar was swaying, just like Zhou Che's heart.
After shaking, it becomes stable again.
Walking on this road, there is no retreat, only forward, forward!
Even if you are willing to risk your own life, do you still have to pity the lives of others?
Must be ruthless!
Are you cruel to yourself, let alone others?
Only in this way can you win - winning or losing is the world and your life.
"Everyone!"
Zhou Che asked someone to fetch a bowl again and poured the wine into the bowl.
The boiling red wine and Zhou Che's shocking voice woke everyone up at the same time.
He raised a bowl of blood wine and looked at everyone: "The road to life is in front of you. Anyone who dares to strike forward with me instead of sitting down and waiting for death should drink this wine!"
boom!
Huo Zeyou was the first to pick up the bowl.
He looked at Zhou Che with a rare smile on his face.
"This kind of wine will keep you company for the rest of your life!"
He has practiced military skills, riding and archery since he was a child, carrying the glory of his family and country, and his ambition to surpass others.
It is only because of the current situation that it is difficult to achieve his ambition.
And because he took care of his family, he tied himself up.
Yes, in the past Hozer was imprisoned.
Today, after he saw Zhou Che, the suppressed will finally broke out and broke all the shackles!
"I'll give it to you for my life!"
Zhao Chuang came up second, picked up a bowl of wine, pulled out his sword, and stabbed the dying man on the ground.
"Confucian scholars are useless, especially if their blood is not dry."
Master He picked up the third bowl of wine, untied his sword and stabbed Li Wangbai.
Everyone moved forward one after another, each holding a cup of blood wine.
Because Zhao Chuang made a good start, after Li Wangbai's body was filled with arrows, he was also filled with swords.
The skills of this group of people are far inferior to that of Huo Zeyou. They don't know the importance and it is difficult to distinguish the key points.
I don't know when, Li Wangbai died in endless humiliation.
His blood opened the way forward for this group of people; his life also cut off this group of people's retreat.
All this is exactly what Zhou Che and Shen Xin want.
The Salt Society took advantage of the situation and was established!
Hedong, whether it is a wealthy family, a farmer, a disciple, or a refugee, all are within the scope of accommodation!
"The fields have no property, so we need to survive on the minerals!"
"Give us, give everyone in Hedong, a real way to survive!"
Zhou Che's words made everyone's eyes scorch.
In addition to selling salt mines, exchanging money and grain for minerals, and accepting all acceptable people.
Zhou Che also made service requirements for the participating people: wear plain white, the more plain, the better.
He also selected strong men from among them and ordered them to wear green scarves on their heads, becoming "salt-bearing warriors".
In addition to providing food and clothing, Lux also provides additional food and salary to subsidize his family.
"Can Brother Wu handle this matter?" Shen Xin looked at the head of the Wu family.
"I will handle it!"
The head of the Wu family nodded.
Before that, his family was engaged in the cloth and clothing business.
After everything was arranged, each family received a sum of money from Shen Xin.
In addition, there are about ten 'personal guards' per person.
He is both a guard and a supervisor.
The matter was of great importance, and all the family heads were smart people. They did not raise any questions about Zhou Che's arrangement, but they felt that the other party was appropriate.
As for how to deal with the Li family, Zhou Che already had a countermeasure: let Shen Xin take the initiative to find the Li family and inform him of the plan to acquire the salt mine!
Such a big move as the acquisition of a salt mine would definitely not be hidden from Li Guo's eyes and ears.
In order to proceed smoothly, the opponent must be paralyzed at the beginning.
Wait until your opponent tries to pick peaches or blocks them, then forcefully advance.
Finally, fall out!
…
In full swing!
Outside Hedong City, there is a stronghold of Shen's Trading Company.
Here, Shen Xin hosted a banquet for Li's eldest son, his own son-in-law Li Wangsong.
At night, when the banquet was about to get cold, Li Wangsong arrived belatedly.
Unlike Li Wangbai, who is strong and stalwart, Li Wangsong is over thirty years old, has a mustache and looks like a Confucian scholar.
"I've been waiting for you!" Shen Xin greeted him enthusiastically.
"Wangsong has met my father-in-law." Li Wangsong said politely, but he didn't even get off the horse, he just held his hands slightly in the saddle.
"Please! Please come quickly!" Shen Xin said with a smile on his face: "The food and wine have been prepared for a long time and they are almost cold."
Li Wangsong looked calm and shook his head: "It is a troubled time in Hedong. Things inside and outside make me very busy."
"If it's just drinking, then I'd better skip it. I don't have that free time."
In front of everyone, it can be said that it is quite humiliating for a father-in-law to have a warm face but a cold butt to his son-in-law.
But Shen Xin looked unconcerned, and there was even flattery in his smile: "My dear son-in-law, I don't know something. I invite you here today because I have a big business that will make you rich."
"Oh? That's great!"
Li Wangsong finally showed a smile, and suddenly turned around and pointed behind him: "I also brought an honored guest here today. My father-in-law should express his gratitude."
Afterwards, there was a carriage pulled by three white horses. The sides of the carriage were inlaid with silver and the curtains were made of southern pearls.
To be called a distinguished guest by Li Wangsong, his status in Hedong is self-evident!
"This is……"
Shen Xin looked frightened and hurriedly walked forward: "Common citizen Shen Xin, pay your respects to the Five Emperors..."
"Master Shen doesn't need to be polite."
A soft tone came from the car.
It's a bit mature, a bit indifferent, and a bit naturally charming. It can be said that it sounds very good.
Zhou Che, who was standing a little further away, suddenly raised his head and stared at the carriage!
"Your Highness likes it?" Gai Yue came over and said, "Do you want to kidnap me and keep him here to sleep with?"
