The iron hoofs roared, the horses stepped on the dust, and the wind and clouds stirred up.
Hundreds of war horses swarmed in and surrounded the Hongchen Inn.
The soldiers dismounted one after another, or set up a shield formation, or held swords, or raised muskets, or pulled bow strings. They were organized in an orderly manner, with clear advance and retreat, showing the demeanor of an elite soldier.
Facing an existence at the peak of the Transformation Realm, even Zhuo Junyan needs to be careful.
But on the other hand, Zhuo Junyan really wanted to feel it.
The peak of Transformation Realm belongs to the top of the world's martial arts. After all, you have to experience it to know the difference.
Shen Shengnan was a little worried: "Su Zhenze is quite famous in the world of chivalry, and the Hongchen Inn has not caused any trouble. Do you want to talk about it?"
"Do you have a reputation as a chivalrous person?" Zhuo Junyan looked at her with a low smile: "We will not reject anyone who comes, and we will accommodate everyone. He ignores the king's laws and ignores good and evil. Tell me, is such a person a chivalrous person?"
Shen Shengnan was speechless for a moment.
yes.
Su Jinze would not refuse anyone who came to his inn. As long as he entered his inn, he would be protected by him, even the most evil villain.
Do you think such a person is a hero?
He is clearly a local vigilante who relies on his strength.
Tie Feng gradually said: "This person has very high martial arts skills."
Zhuo Junyan looked at the inn and said: "So I made preparations. Last time, twenty or thirty people attacked Bao Songhui at the same time. This time, there were hundreds. Moreover, the terrain here is good, and there are not so many buildings used as bunkers. Suitable for performance. In addition, I also want to see how majestic a person at the peak of transformation can be. Can one person hold up a shelter? Ridiculous! If it were in the legend of the world, it would be true, but in reality, it would be too much. This is outrageous, unless he is the only one in the world who is at the peak of transformation, and one person can fight a million troops!"
While talking, a man walked out.
It was Su Jinze.
Su Jinze walked like this without making any big movements, but he was in front of the cavalry in an instant, showing off his powerful body skills.
He said in a manly voice: "Su Jinze would like to have a talk with Zhuo Xingzhu."
"Let him come over." Zhuo Junyan's voice came from behind.
The cavalry separated to both sides, and Su Jinze came directly in front of Zhuo Junyan.
Zhuo Junyan sat on the horse and looked at him coldly.
Even though you are at the top, I look down on you!
Su Jinze smiled and saluted: "Zhenze has met the Master."
Zhuo Junyan said directly: "Tell me what's going on!"
Su Jinze smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask Mr. Zhuo to show his respect and not attack the Hongchen Inn."
Zhuo Junyan bent down slightly and approached Su Zhenze: "Why? Just because you are at the peak of the Transformation Realm?"
Su Jinze shook his head: "No. It's just not necessary."
"no need?"
Su Jinze nodded: "Yes. Master Zhuo, does he know the cost of a day's stay at this Hongchen Inn?"
Zhuo Junyan looked at him: "How much?"
Su Jinze replied: "Two hundred taels a night."
Zhuo Junyan was delighted: "Oh! You're making more money than robbing me."
Su Jinze smiled: "Yes. But without this protection, we cannot charge this price."
Zhuo Junyan said: "Just because you are at the peak of Transformation Realm? There are hundreds to hundreds of peak Transformation Realms in the world, but there are not so many in this forbidden land of rivers and lakes. Although none of my subordinates have a Transformation Realm, they are one hundred thousand different from you. Eight thousand miles away, but I don’t mind fighting against the majesty of the peak!”
Quantity does matter after all.
If Su Jinze could destroy Zhuo Junyan's elite warriors by himself, then the nine major sects would be the masters of the world, and the army would have no meaning in existence.
Su Jinze said with a smile: "Master, please don't misunderstand. In fact, this is a business. Master, you see, these people don't actually have much money on them. They won't be able to stay for a few days and will have to leave soon. When the time comes, Master
It won't affect you if you start."
"The question is why should I cooperate with you?"
Su Zhenze said: "There are three advantages. First, you and I can make friends. With me, Su Zhenze, here, those transformation realms will not cause you trouble. After all, although the monarch is powerful, it is still more troublesome to face a surprise attack by an expert.
If you need anything in the future, you can come to me and everything will be easy to discuss."
Well, are you threatening me with assassination? This is the usual style of Jianghu people. I can't beat you, but I can assassinate you, so you have to take it easy.
Su Jinze said: "Both, I am willing to split the money they paid with me seven-thirds, seven to you and three to me."
Zhuo Junyan narrowed his eyes: "No wonder your Hongchen Inn is still standing, and no powerful people in the world come to disturb it. The reputation remains unshakable despite the wind and rain, and the sword is strong but no one falls... Here is the secret of co-authorship."
Su Jinze smiled: "In the end, we will need the support of force."
"The problem is, wouldn't it be better if I went in and grabbed it directly? Why should I split it 30/70 with you?"
Su Jinze said sternly: "I once studied with Momen and learned some mechanism techniques. There are many mechanisms in this Hongchen Inn, and there are some good people under my command. I myself am at the peak of Transformation Realm. If the master wants to attack by force, with your men
I may not be able to defeat the soldiers, horses and firearms, but I can escape, and your people will probably suffer heavy casualties. Then there is the third point. These Jianghu people will not carry too much silver, but there is no guarantee that they will all have it.
Hidden privately. If they want to stay for a long time, they must tell them one by one the benefits of hiding it outside. If you attack the Hongchen Inn, you may lose two hundred soldiers and horses, but you will only lose a thousand taels of silver. With me here, you may
You can get tens of thousands of taels and still not lose a single soldier. Is it still impossible to do such a business?"
Everyone was stunned by what he said.
This guy's business acumen far exceeds his strength!
Zhuo Junyan clapped and laughed: "Interesting! Interesting! It's really interesting! I didn't expect that the first person I met at the peak of transformation in my life was not a tyrannical person, but a businessman! He has a gold-lettered signboard, and he is really well built!"
Su Jinze smiled: "This man, as he gets older in the world, he has seen a lot of things. The higher you go, the more you know the dangers and troubles in the world; the longer you live, the more famous you become. Although life is important, life is more precious.
So if the problem can be solved with fame and resourcefulness, there is no point in using fists, do you think that?"
Zhuo Junyan nodded: "It makes sense. It makes perfect sense. No wonder the Buddha's wrathful sword is in the limelight. Hongchen Inn is impregnable. Sure enough, the best strategy is to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting. What a good calculation!"
Su Jinze smiled brightly: "I still need the Lord's love."
This person had an extraordinarily infectious energy when he spoke, and everyone thought it made sense.
Very reasonable!
Zhuo Junyan already said: "Seven or three? I am seven, you are three? Two hundred taels per night, it depends on the number of people and the length of the night?"
"Exactly, very good." Su Jinze smiled.
Zhuo Junyan nodded: "Okay, that's it."
"Thank you, sir." Su Jinze gave a long salute.
After negotiating with Zhuo Junyan, Su Jinze was very satisfied.
In the end, he was just a common man, and he was solved by his own words, coercion, and inducements.
There is nothing better than this in the world. If you persuade others to move them, you will never be able to explain them with reason, move them with emotion, threaten them with threats, and induce them with benefits.
Although you, Zhuo Junyan, have the ability to control things, how can you compare to my ability to control people?
Thinking in my heart, I feel proud and my face is blooming.
When I entered the inn, I felt refreshed and serious again.
When the warriors saw Su Zhenze, they all stood up: "How?"
Su Jinze sighed and shook his head: "Zhuo Junyan is selling my face and won't attack by force. But if you ask them to let you go, I can't do it, and it's not in line with my rules here. You'd better stay in peace for now.
"
He is also a born actor, good at both singing and writing.
Stay safe?
This night costs two hundred taels, a pot of wine costs fifty taels, and a bowl of rice costs twenty taels. Who can afford the accommodation and who can afford the food?
Su Jinze is cunning. You can't hide the rent money, but you can hide the money for food and drinks. I didn't say you didn't ask, but I didn't mean to trick you. If you ask and they don't eat, what can you do?
The rent is easy to calculate, but food is not.
At this moment, he laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. I think Zhuo Junyan won't be surrounded by this army for too long. You guys stay here for now. I don't know how many days will pass before he retreats."
He said and went back to the room.
Then he saw Wang Hongyuan waiting in the room.
Su Zhenze closed the door and saw her sitting in front of the dressing mirror with a gloomy face.
Su Jinze said with a smile: "Zhuo Junyan will not attack for the time being. I have sent secret messages to inform various strongmen, but I don't know whether they will come. I have already done the work, and the results are not guaranteed. Now, it is your turn
The promise was fulfilled.”
As he spoke, he slowly unbuttoned the front of his clothes.
Although he was old, he was well maintained. He took off his clothes, revealing a fairly strong tendon.
At this moment, he came to Wang Hongyuan and put his hand on her shoulder.
Wang Hongyuan looked at Su Jinze's lewd appearance in the mirror, her heart trembled, she shrank her shoulders and shouted, "No!"
She pushed Su Zhenze away.
Su Jinze was a little dissatisfied: "You want to default on your debt? Ha, I don't like to use force. But I did what you asked me to do. If you default on your debt, don't blame me for forcing you. I'm not forcing you.
It’s just a matter of collecting due remuneration.”
Wang Hongyuan glared at Su Jinze: "How did you notify the outside world? The carrier pigeons? They couldn't let you fly the carrier pigeons."
Su Jinze snorted coldly: "I have my own secret technique."
"What secret technique?"
"Is it something you can ask lightly about Jianghu's secret knowledge?" As he said this, Su Zhenze grabbed his hand.
This grasp seemed to be an understatement, but it completely covered Wang Hongyuan. Wang Hongyuan felt that there was no place for him to hide in the sky or the earth.
This man's martial arts skills were indeed extremely high. With just one move, Wang Hongyuan fell into his hands. He was unable to fight back under his claws.
Su Jinze hugged Wang Hongyuan, lifted her chin with his fingers, and said with a smile, "You'd better cooperate."
At this moment, a loud bang was heard, and the entire Hongchen Inn suddenly shook.
"What's going on?" Su Jinze was stunned.
The next moment, the violent roar of cannons was heard.
The flames of Hongchen Inn were rising, the air waves were rolling wildly, and in an instant, the buildings collapsed.
Zhuo Junyan's voice came from the distance: "I thought about it and suddenly felt that it would be good to capture them myself. If I have such long-term thinking, it is better to have a full meal now. The most important thing is to capture you, your Hongchen Inn these years.
The savings are all mine. So I don’t want the 73% share.”
