Chapter 490 It seems to be a trap(2/3)
The atmosphere in the building suddenly became colder and tense.
The spiritual thoughts and martial intentions of both sides even confronted each other across a table, causing the nearby void to continuously make a "boo-chi" sound. Some of the surrounding tables, chairs, wooden chopsticks, etc. could not bear it anymore and exploded into wood dust all over the sky.
"Mr. Feng, there is no need for this."
Chu Xisheng looked at the wine glass in his hand with a casual expression: "Actually, it's no wonder that the owner of Situ Tower is like this. The foundation he has worked hard for more than ten years has been handed over to others. No one would be willing to accept it. But the ten years of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower Tens of thousands of people are all elite soldiers trained by His Highness King Xiang. Wouldn't it be a pity to lose them here on the canal?
Let’s look at it from another perspective. Our Iron Banner Gang’s occupation of the canal and the isolation of the north from the south will be a great benefit for King Xiang. In the future, if King Xiang wants to be unified, he can raise his troops to go north and ensure that he has no worries about his future. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Although his tone expressed understanding and persuasion, his demeanor showed the word "arrogant" to the extreme.
Situ Tang's face was green and cold: "Master Dao, don't talk nonsense! My king is loyal to the emperor, and we can learn from it."
"understand!"
Chu Xisheng burst out laughing: "Then Mr. Chu, take one more step back and withdraw from the Grand Canal. As long as the merchant ships of your Prince Xiang Mansion pay the full gate fee according to the specifications, then whether you are selling weapons or food, I, Iron Banner, will help you." Won't stop it.
In addition, when our Iron Banner Gang purchases goods from Xiangzhou, Yangzhou and EZ, we will only buy goods from shops under your name, and vice versa. And if King Xiang wants to raise troops in the future, I can guarantee that no one from the imperial court will buy from them. As the canal goes south, the states downstream of the Shenxiu River will never be able to send troops to attack."
Situ Tang grinded his teeth when he heard this.
The previous conditions were favorable, and Situtang was good at business. As soon as he thought about it, he realized that Chu Xisheng's plan could monopolize the goods trade upstream and downstream of the Shenxiu River, enough to make both families a huge profit, and the income could be several times that of the previous one. .
Only the last few sentences give me a headache.
This Wuji Sword Lord kept saying that he would help His Highness Prince Xiang block the north and south.
If he agreed, wouldn't it mean that the king of his family was planning to rebel?
However, he did not dare to act on his own and said in a cold voice: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Dao."
He took out a conch-shaped magic weapon from his sleeve, closed his eyes and concentrated on the induction.
After a moment, Situ Tang said in a cold voice: "I can agree, but I need to sign a divine contract."
The last time he negotiated with Chu Xisheng, it was just a verbal agreement, and he suffered a big loss in the end.
So this time we must make a divine contract to guarantee it.
Chu Xisheng was stunned when he heard this, then smiled: "Okay!"
He originally wanted to take out a piece of divine contract paper, but Situ Tang obviously couldn't believe him, so he took out a piece of white tiger sub-beast skin and wrote on it.
Chu Xisheng didn't care, thinking that he would save money.
He sipped the wine: "Lord Situ, this divine contract cannot be whatever you say. Your divine contract guide needs to be added to my divine contract heavenly tablet, and it must be witnessed by Zang Tian and Li Tan, and supervised by the Second Book of Commandments.
, otherwise I won’t be able to rest assured.”
Situ Tang thought for a moment and thought it was no big deal.
Just as he was worried about Chu Xisheng, it was natural for the other party to be worried about him.
But just as Situ Tang continued to write, Zhu Hongxue suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked over.
Zhu Hongxue had already held the sword and stood up. Her face was frosty and her eyes were like blades: "I am not willing to give up my foundation of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower like this."
Situ Tang was stunned when he heard this: "Hongxue, you~"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Hongxue snorted angrily: "The Iron Banner Gang took over our territory and killed our brothers. As a result, I didn't say a word, refused to fight, and had to give up the land of the four counties. What kind of talk is this? This matter spread out.
, it will only make people in the world laugh at our lack of courage!"
She stared at Chu Xisheng: "I want to have a fair fight with Dao Lord. Neither side is allowed to use magic weapons. They only use martial arts to determine the outcome, life and death. If I lose, Qingfeng Mingyue Tower will give up the canal, and the grudges will be settled from now on."
"If I win, I don't dare to ask for too much. Each of our two families controls half of this canal. I wonder if Mr. Dao has the guts to accept the challenge?"
Luo Hanzong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
This Zhu Hongxue is not only very courageous, but also a little scheming.
‘Qingfeng Sword’ Zhu Hongxue is ranked twenty-ninth on the local rankings - she was twenty-seventh before, but now she has dropped two places.
Chu Xisheng ranked seventh on the Earth Ranking, and the Divine Machine of Martial Arts ranked him among the top 100 in the Heavenly Ranking—but both evaluations suggested that he had borrowed the help of the divine treasure.
After excluding all magical weapons, the result is uncertain.
Feng San sneered directly: "Shameless! You dare to mention it."
Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but blush slightly on her cheeks.
This is indeed a bit shameless.
Chu Xisheng's martial arts cultivation level is only at the lower level of the fourth level, but Zhu Hongxue is already a master of the upper level of the second level, a full five levels higher than Chu Xisheng.
However, she still looked at Chu Xisheng persistently, with provocation in her eyes.
Chu Xisheng raised the corners of her lips slightly again, showing a hint of embarrassment: "Why not?"
He is looking for someone to establish his authority and secure his ranking on the Heavenly Ranking.
Now someone is coming to my door, and I am asking for it.
Chu Xisheng waved his hand to stop Kuang Jian Feng San who was about to speak to dissuade him.
He glanced around, then looked outside the building: "It's not convenient here. Don't destroy other people's restaurants. Let's go to the pier."
In the past, he came to Tianling County, fought several battles with others, and then left in a hurry.
I didn't expect that when I returned to my old place, I would have to fight with someone again.
※※※※
And just earlier, outside Wu's Restaurant.
Gu Mingyue was sensing the situation inside the restaurant while talking to Feng Liancheng: "You are the first 'divine guard' of the flag master. You should have received the news, right?"
Feng Liancheng clasped his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "You mean the flag master is planning to go north later to complete the secret ritual of the heavens at the fourth level and advance to the martial body? It seems that Brother Gu is also among the followers?"
"By the grace of the flag master, I am honored to accompany you." Gu Mingyue nodded slightly and said in a quiet voice: "Brother Feng, what do you think of this matter?"
"This is naturally a great thing. The banner master's cultivation will improve, and everyone in the Iron Banner Gang will benefit from this."
Feng Liancheng knew that this was not the answer Gu Mingyue wanted to ask, but he did not want to leave any clue in front of Gu Mingyue.
"I'm just worried that the flag owner doesn't cover up the matter at all and doesn't hide anything, so maybe something will change. However, the flag owner is very resourceful and cunning, so he shouldn't be so unwise."
In fact, Chu Xisheng acted in a relatively secretive manner and only informed a few of his subordinates.
The problem is that both he and Gu Mingyue have identity issues, and Chu Xisheng himself knows it too!
This guy just wanted to subdue them, so he kept them in the gang.
So this matter is problematic no matter how you look at it.
Gu Mingyue hears the string song and knows its elegant meaning.
Feng Liancheng was also worried that Chu Xisheng was trying to trick people.
Gu Mingyue rubbed her brows with a headache: "I have a headache. This time when the flag leader goes north, there will be big changes. The dangers are unpredictable. I don't know what to do now."
What he said was cloudy and foggy, but Feng Liancheng understood it as soon as he heard it.
This news must be spread back, but if the forces behind them participate in the siege, they may be tricked by Chu Xisheng, resulting in heavy casualties and losses to grandma's family.
This 'dangerous' actually refers to Chu Xisheng's trap.
"The flag owner is now the target of public criticism in the world, and he is not the only one who is targeting him." Feng Liancheng's expression remained unchanged: "Our soldiers will just cover up the water and earth."
Gu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and thought that it was true.
The forces behind Feng Liancheng indeed have the same plan.
They don't participate themselves, they just pass the news on.
Nowadays, I don’t know how many people regard Chu Xisheng as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of him.
As long as the news spreads that Chu Xisheng intends to advance to the martial arts body, powerful forces will surely come and put Chu Xisheng to death!
The so-called "soldiers coming to block water and earth to cover up" should be used to adapt to changes.
Chu Xisheng had no idea about the private discussions among his subordinates. He, Zhu Hongxue and others flew out of the restaurant and flew to the front of the dock.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the two stood ten feet apart, Gu Mingyue and Feng Liancheng did not dare to whisper anymore. They ran over with a group of soldiers and started to clear the place.
Taking advantage of this time, Situ Tangzheng of 'Ming Yue Sword' and Zhu Hongxue of 'Qingfeng Sword' spoke in secret through voice transmission: "You can attack with all your strength later, be sure not to hurt this boy's life."
Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but glance sideways at Situ Tang, looking surprised.
There are countless people in the world who want Chu Xisheng's life.
Even their king regarded Chu Xisheng as a formidable enemy.
However, Situ Tang had a straight face and cold eyes: "We and I cannot afford to offend such people. Evil people will be punished by evil people, and his life will be taken away by others."
They couldn't withstand the storm afterwards.
Xi Bitian, Gong Wugou, Shui Canglang, Lu Chen, Wuxiang Shenzong - and even the legendary Overlord Qin Muge who may still be alive.
No matter who decides to take revenge on them, it will bring disaster to them.
