For those who are interested, although the inside and outside of the castle seem to be bustling and the situation is good, in fact, the surging undercurrent is not difficult to detect if you feel carefully.
Especially Jiang Yue, who is a caring person, is observing the movements of all parties almost every moment. Cen Qi and Duo Ye are fine, their ideas are relatively simple, they just want to promote cooperation. And they have gradually reached a tacit understanding, in order to
In order to avoid irritating Master Hu and Butler Lao Zhu, they also deliberately avoided touching the remaining thousands of acres of spiritual land for the time being.
Butler Lao Zhu obviously felt that the time was not ripe yet and there was no next move. They decided to get a feel for Master Duo of the Baoshu tribe first and explore his tone. If Master Duo showed signs of negotiating peace with Cen Qi
Talking to them is a matter of attitude, no matter who comes to talk, then Butler Lao Zhu will not hesitate to drag Cen Qi down and replace him.
Master Hu is obsessed with seizing the foundation and is making intensive plans to do so. He sends people to investigate the strength of the castle, find its defensive weaknesses, and formulate an attack plan.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for doing all this, which is to ensure that the transplantation plan is completed, that all the elixirs are successfully planted on the new spiritual land, and that there are people watching over them.
In this way, you will have no worries.
Although Jiang Yue is also a member of the pharmaceutical industry, he has a good relationship with Qian Ye and is an out-and-out well-connected person, so he is qualified to fish.
Qian Ye obviously also intends to promote Jiang Yue and let Jiang Yue be his deputy, responsible for overall control and guiding the elixir transplantation as a manager.
This suspicion gave Cen Qi a little freedom and made it easier for Cen Qi to observe the reactions of all parties.
Even the few people sent out by Mr. Hu, although they avoided Xiaojia's eyes and ears, were caught by Cen Qi's borrowing skills.
The attitude is really humble.
There was also some loss in the middle, and the loss was about 2%. That ratio was still within the acceptable range of the young master and the tiger master.
For such a person, as a landlord, it is enough to be polite on the surface, but it is necessary to be too attentive and cold.
Of course, as the young master's confidant, Aqian also received Cha Jia's support and flattery.
The owner of the village didn't think so much at all. He coldly took the young master's hand and led him all the way to the gate of the castle.
Cen Qi knows that once we find out the authenticity of the castle, Master Hu will definitely launch a thunderous strike to capture the castle.
But the group of people on Mr. Hu's side were staggering, swaying around after a few steps, as if they were overcome by alcohol, and they were obviously falling behind.
A team like that is obviously impressive compared to elites like Master Hu who are like wolves and tigers.
In this way, the reception banquet was held in a pleasant atmosphere.
As the banquet progressed, Cen Qi discovered that the people on Master Hu's side went to the toilet less and less frequently, and several of the elite young men under Master Hu left the banquet one after another.
That Mr. Hu is really complicated and calm.
The young master chuckled: "Forget it, forget it. If we want to cooperate for a long time, we still need to follow the rules. You have to take care of the elixir, and you will definitely be greedy for the living conditions in the castle."
The elixir transplantation plan is progressing in an orderly manner. It's two days until the elixir is due, and less than 40% of the elixir has not yet been transplanted.
Obviously, the owner of the village is also very ambiguous about who is the person who has brought me long-term benefits, who is a threat, and who is a trouble.
Of course, Mr. Hu is only a partner and is under the control of the young master. I am also a bad person, so I won’t say anything.
As for Mr. Hu, everyone seemed to be drunk and staggering around. But Cen Qi's sharp eyes did not notice that at least a dozen people from Mr. Hu's side were not present.
Even if he has no ambitions, for the owner of the village, Master Hu is also my business rival.
In the current situation, although Cen Qi had been observing the movements of all parties, he also judged which side would win in the conflict.
Cen Qi also pointed to the young master's line to approach Butler Zhu and deal with Butler Zhu from the ground up. How could he allow the young master to be affected by that conflict?
"Master, you are a noble of Butler Zhu. Your castle is luxurious and it is an honor for you to patronize it. When taking care of the elixir, it is necessary for Master to keep an eye on it personally, right?"
Therefore, the old Baoshu clan secretly felt so relieved that his lips were blistered, and he was worried.
But as far as the young master is concerned, Cha Jia obviously hopes that something will happen to us.
That cooperation was achieved, and the village owner felt that the person he should be most grateful to was not Qian Ye. If Qian Ye had argued hard and persisted, I, the village owner, would have won the victory long ago. How could there not be that kind of cooperation?
When the young master walked away, Master Hu and others seemed to have sobered up. Each of them had a fierce look in their eyes, took out their personal weapons, and actually slashed at the guards at the city gate. Even old Cha Jialun
If he wanted to make a mistake, without the blessing of Butler Zhu as the owner of the village, old Cha Jialun had to think carefully.
When the elixir transplantation project was completed, the young master breathed a sigh of relief.
"You understand Jiang Yue's kindness. You two have to deal with each other for a long time, so you can live outside the castle. Only if you live inside can we live in peace and harmony."
Obviously, the old Baoshu tribe is not worried about Lord Tiger.
The old Baoshu tribe also obviously lacked confidence in front of Qian Ye. Being scolded by Qian Ye was a very satisfying feeling for the owner of the village.
The owner of the village, Jiang Yue, has a small chance to be a decoration. My command is to mobilize the armed forces outside the castle. Not every combatant outside the castle may be a traitor, but the boss mission is to obey old Cha Jialun. Even if these special combatants want to
There is nothing you can do about being loyal to Jiang Yue.
Therefore, the owner of the village flattered the young master in every possible way, and the young master tried to fend for himself. He almost revolved around the young master and made him feel very comfortable when serving him.
Mr. Hu is enjoying observing the situation inside the castle again. Is there any reason for me to do so?
In that regard, Cha Jia is really all mine.
"Let's go first." The young master waved his hand and took Master Qian, Cen Qi and others back to the camp under the cover of night.
Chajia obviously had no intention of showing off the strength of the castle, and the standards of the banquet were also very low.
The owner of the village is a stupid person, and I know who I need to fawn over. There is no doubt that this is not the young master, Mr. Zhu, the steward.
How could Mr. Hu know what the village owner was thinking, but I was very ignorant and didn't show any signs of being slow. That kind of demeanor made Cen Qi secretly admire him.
The team doesn't usually have any training, but they all practice in the distance. The smallest threats they encounter are just some thieves, some unruly people, and ferocious beasts and birds that haven't appeared in the distance.
The young master put his concerns aside, so he naturally agreed happily.
The owner, Jiang Yue, was the most satisfied. That cooperation made me feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment, as if my waist had become much stronger.
When Cha Jia saw Qian Ye drinking slowly and happily, I was already slightly drunk, but that was a bad excuse.
The young master chuckled: "Jiang Yue, he has nothing to worry about about cooperation. Butler Zhu is sometimes very particular about his work, so he must worry about it."
As he said that, the young master glanced at Mr. Hu and the others who were nearby and frowned slightly. Apparently, he felt that it was not embarrassing for Mr. Hu and the others to be so drunk.
Therefore, the Old Baoshu Clan must show a weak and tough side, properly display their fangs, and let the other party know that they are not completely unguarded and cannot be manipulated at will.
It seems that the old Baoshu tribe also intends to be the villain, and I am the master after all. After falling out, I can always refute the master's face in such a big matter.
The young master doesn't have any other thoughts. I just want to live outside the castle, and I also want to be wrapped up in the owner's sugar-coated bullets.
The owner of the village was also very unhappy and once again proposed to hold a banquet to entertain the young master and Mr. Tiger and other distinguished guests.
It is possible for the old Baoshu tribe to say that it is partly mine.
The worst thing is to make the other party give up the idea of losing both sides and start a fight rashly.
Cha Jia actually really wants the young master to stay in the castle. I want to hug that calf tightly all the time.
And I have been downplaying the security of the castle. Every fortress position is closely guarded by manpower, so I have to relax every second.
Cen Qi's borrowing skills kept observing old Cha Jialun, and found that the old Baoshu tribe was not busy with anything else, but arranged manpower to guard key points throughout the castle.
As long as he hugs Butler Zhu's calf tightly, he is worried about his future.
"Master, Master Qian is not quite drunk yet. Would you like me to take me to rest first?"
On the contrary, because of Mr. Hu's status as a foreigner, although the owner of the village was polite, the politeness was obviously superficial and just polite in person. In the final analysis, it still meant a bit of alienation and a respectful distance.
Cha Jia instinctively wouldn't resist a newcomer like Mr. Hu. Who knew those people didn't have any ambitions behind them?
If he wants to bite you, he has to pay a very small price, which he may not be able to bear.
"Young Master, everything about the cooperation between you and him is bad. I only hope that the Young Master will support me, and you will be willing to distribute the benefits with the Young Master."
When we prepared the batch of elixirs, no 10-15% was spared. We did not prepare for losses. A 2% loss is completely unacceptable and cannot even be said to be very satisfactory.
The old Baoshu tribe also showed up at the banquet. After toasting a few glasses of wine with complicated etiquette, they left the banquet on the pretext of being busy with secular affairs.
You must know that the number of armed troops in the castle is only over 700. And the small number of them have not experienced any fierce battles for a long time.
For me, although I am always ready to usurp power and replace the owner of the village, that is not what affects me towards Master Hu.
Now, it depends on how old Cha Jialun responds.
Those men and horses were obviously going to explore the road.
Cha Jia said: "Of course you can trust Butler Zhu. At the same time, you also want to make the young master's friend and always listen to the young master's advice."
The banquet was still going on, and Qianye inevitably drank a few drinks less due to the owner's flattery, and he was not yet tipsy at the moment.
The fighting team, which numbered hundreds to thousands, were all like wolves and tigers. They were stationed near the castle, and it was as if there was a sharp blade hanging above their heads, which could strike at any time.
The owner of the village still wanted to persuade him to stay, but seeing Qian Ye's state, he knew that the difference was too little.
The bad thing is, we don't have any advantage at all. At most, there is no problem with the castle's defense. That castle has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and almost all the holes it has had have been filled. The enemy wants to retreat from the outside attack,
There is almost no other way except climbing over the low city wall.
Cen Qi, who is a solitary person, is actually the most lively and calm. There are not many people coming to persuade me to drink, which makes me not have enough energy to observe the situation.
Especially when I learned that Mr. Hu's men and horses were no less than one or two thousand, which left Lao Zhu with no place to sit still.
Although less than half of those troops were tool men for transplanting elixirs, they were also not half of them truly weak elite combat teams.
Master Qian has very little say in front of the young master, and his power is very small. To displease Master Qian is basically to displease the young master.
The eyes are clear and the eyes are clear. Anyway, Mr. Hu’s people will let Mr. Hu lie down on the roadside and spend the night.
Cen Qi and others are now following Qian Ye, and they have also joined the invited group.
Although Mr. Tiger may dare to attack the young master, he still has to consider the danger factor of the young master.
The owner of the village knew that he was the talker and the executor of Bad Qian Ye.
With the help of the geographical advantage, even if our team has less combat power, it is completely incapable of fighting. The opponent has a numerical advantage of eight to seven hundred people, so it is not difficult to conquer the castle.
Even if there are some losses ahead, overall the safety line is far from being reached.
If we really go for it weakly, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation in the end.
"Master, Master Qian, our castle has not prepared a bad guest room. Please invite Master and Master Qian to stay here."
Seeing that the young master insisted on leaving, the owner of the village had no choice but to obey.
Of course, those who could participate in that banquet were basically faceless people. And the main team brought by Mr. Hu was naturally among them.
Cen Qi was awe-inspiring and immediately judged that Master Hu was planning to take action tonight.
The bad thing is that old Cha Jialun over at the castle seems to have been on guard for a long time and did not participate in the entire banquet. He only accompanied him with a few glasses of wine as a token token.
The banquet lasted for seven or eight hours, but both the host and the guests were happy, and the atmosphere was cold.
Bad guy, Cen Qi thought that Mr. Tiger would at least wait a little longer until the time was more mature. He thought that I could wait even a day.
While we were talking, the owner of the village had not sent the young master off and we had arrived at the door.
It's really because the old Baoshu tribe regards the castle as their own private territory, so they don't care about it. I already don't want others to stare at that piece of fat.
That was something the village owner whispered to the young master, but he didn't hide it from Master Qian and Cen Qi.
Young Master, I have already walked to the castle gate and said to the owner of the village: "Jiang Yue stays here, you just go back to the camp. We will discuss the remaining cooperation in private another day."
The young master glanced at Master Qian, then looked at the messy dishes and cups at the banquet. It seemed that the banquet was coming to an end, and he said: "Master Cha Jia, the wine is enough, and the rice is enough. Let's stop here today, right?"
Before the elixir was successfully transplanted, I planned to launch an attack.
Seventy thousand silver coins actually came into my hands, which made me even more hopeful about my future.
But the quality is not superior to others, and the quantity is also obviously at a disadvantage.
The timing was quite appropriate. At the banquet, everyone was drunk and drunk. When they were most unprepared, it was difficult to catch him by surprise when he suddenly attacked.
The total number of people who can attend is only eighty or seventy.
