Chapter One Thousand and Nine: The Owner Behind the Scenes
Every shopkeeper in the branches of Xinghuo Trading Company all over the Gods and Demons Continent knows that there is a mysterious owner behind the scenes of Xinghuo Trading Company. No one knows the identity and background of the owner, but they all have a way to identify the owner's identity.
When the branch manager saw that the biggest boss behind the world-famous Xinghuo Trading Company was actually a young man, he was so surprised that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. He had always thought that the boss behind the Spark Trading Company was a rich man, and usually, rich people are potbellied.
He never dreamed that the big boss, whom everyone at the Spark Trading Company headquarters mentioned and respected, would be so young.
"I want to know the situation in the Gods and Demons Continent."
"Yes, boss."
The shopkeeper diligently served Zhou Sen tea and water. After the arrangements were made, he immediately brought out all the information held by Xinghuo Trading Company for Zhou Sen to review. Of course, the shopkeeper also had to explain it verbally.
When the two of them were communicating, the shopkeeper looked at Zhou Sen secretly. He vaguely felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen this young man there before, but for a moment, he couldn't remember it.
The shopkeeper naturally did not expect that this young man was the famous General Zhou, the current Prime Minister of the Han Empire.
The shopkeeper thought Zhou Sen looked familiar because when Zhou Sen returned to the court in triumph, the shopkeeper was among the crowd and glanced at Zhou Sen from a distance. However, time has changed and Zhou Sen was wearing a military uniform and riding a tall horse.
They were completely different from what they were before, and it was natural that the shopkeeper couldn't recognize him.
The position of Prime Minister was only known to the senior officials of the Han Empire. Many ordinary people still did not understand the meaning of "Prime Minister". Most of them thought that it was a meritorious identity fabricated by the Han Emperor for Zhou Sen.
After some understanding, Zhou Sen quickly had a general understanding of the situation in the Gods and Demons Continent.
When Zhou Sen left the Han Empire and went to the prehistoric area to search for the Nine Heavens Xuannv and the others, famous generals such as Lu Axe, the Xiongnu Chanyu, and Cai Ping of Wuchao City, with the assistance of superpowers, began to launch a large-scale campaign.
Counterattack.
Places such as Bafang City and Tongzhou City echoed each other and cooperated with Wuchao City's counterattack.
Gore's army showed the momentum of a decisive battle and refused to give up an inch of ground. Crusaders from all directions rushed to support General Gore. At this time, the battle situation became stalemate.
And just when the two sides were fighting for an inch of land and blood flowed, His Highness the Monkey King from the prehistoric area led a hundred thousand demon soldiers to rush to the aid of the Han army.
With the participation of hundreds of thousands of monsters, the monsters of the Han Empire also rose up and joined the vigorous battle.
After the monsters joined the Han army, they became more powerful and started to fight all the way to Orange Island, where they successfully joined forces with the Tongtian Divine Rat in Tongzhou City.
From Wuchao City to Orange Island, they already accounted for half of the Han Empire. In other words, in terms of territory and resources, the Han army at this time was enough to compete with the Crusaders.
Just when the whole Han Empire thought that victory was in sight, the millions of troops from the Kingdom of Heaven and the puppet army formed by the Kingdom of Heaven in the Er Empire rushed to the battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of troops began to fight with the Han army in the Orange Island area of Tongzhou City.
of fighting.
The Crusaders who arrived not only made up for the Crusaders' military resources in the Han Empire, but also brought a large number of masters, many of whom were able to summon divine clones to fight.
In this battle, both the Crusaders and the Han army refused to give in. As a result, the war situation once again became stalemate.
Now, the Han Empire army has established a strong defense line in the area of Juzizhou and Tongzhou City. The Crusaders have also built fortifications outside the defense line and deployed a large number of troops to confront the Han army...
…
"Confrontation all the time?" Zhou Sen frowned.
"No, but fighting all the time."
"Always fighting?"
"Yes, the Han Empire launched wars almost every day. General Lu, General Yang, and General Lu often launched surprise attacks and entered the territory controlled by the Crusaders. However, although such battles achieved good results,
, but it has no impact on the overall situation."
"Where are the Huns?"
"This time, thanks to the Xiongnu Chanyu, he was not only brave in battle, but also loyal. Once, he was besieged by the Crusaders for seven days and seven nights. The Crusaders general promised that as long as he surrendered, he would immediately allow the Xiongnu to establish a country..."
"What happened next?" Zhou Sen was shocked. If the Huns rebelled, the consequences would be disastrous. You must know that Wuchao City's rear area completely relied on the Xiongnu prairie.
Once the Xiongnu turned against each other, Wuchao City would be attacked from both sides. Moreover, at this time, Wuchao City was the temporary imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor's imperial edicts were all transmitted from Wuchao City. After the fall, the people of the Han Dynasty would definitely lose their fighting spirit.
The serious consequences are self-evident.
"The Chan Yu would rather die than surrender, and fought bloody battles for seven days and seven nights. At the moment when his life and death were at stake, General Lu led dozens of superpowers to break into the thousands of troops and rescue the Chan Yu."
"Okay, okay, what a rude axe!"
Knowing that Shanyu was rescued by Lu Axe, Zhou Sen, who was originally depressed because of the sluggishness of the Han army, suddenly felt better.
"But..." the shopkeeper sighed.
"But what?" Zhou Sen didn't like this way of speaking and immediately frowned.
"In that battle, the Huns lost 50,000 cavalry, and a very important person disappeared." Seeing Zhou Sen's frown, the shopkeeper suddenly panicked and said quickly.
"Who?" Zhou Sen asked casually without taking it seriously.
"Master Yi Jian Fan Ni'er has disappeared. Her disappearance has dealt a huge blow to the Han army, because she has trained countless sharp archers for the Han Empire, and those sharp archers are still active on the battlefield.
, specifically to deal with the black-winged Kunpeng..." The shopkeeper seemed to have a deep affection for Fan Ni'er, and his words were full of regret.
Fannie'er is missing!
Zhou Sen's mind was tense. Last night, he thought of Fan Ni'er because he was with Bing Ling. Unexpectedly, today he learned about Fan Ni'er's disappearance.
Zhou Sen has an inseparable affection for Fan Ni'er. Although the two of them have not revealed their identity as a couple, the tacit understanding and deep friendship between them is not inferior to the four of them.
Zhou Sen once thought that as long as Fannie'er was willing, he would take her with him.
Of course, Zhou Sen knows that Fannie'er is a very independent woman and will never be attached to a man. Moreover, she also shoulders the dream of revitalizing the entire family and leading the Huns to prosperity. Even if Zhou Sen is willing,
She would not be willing to follow Zhou Sen.
"We have already heard about Fannie'er and are preparing to find an opportunity to send the information to the headquarters of Spark Trading Company in Wuchao City..."
"Where is she?" Zhou Sen's eyes burned with blazing flames.
"He was imprisoned in this city."
"What?!"
"Yes, it's certain! The channels we obtained information from are very reliable. Moreover, in that war, the cavalry was led by the puppet government of the Russian Empire. After Vaniel was captured, he was escorted overnight."
"The Er Empire participated in the military operation to besiege the Xiongnu Chanyu?" Zhou Sen frowned.
"Yes, the Kingdom of Heaven established a puppet regime in the Er Empire, with a cavalry numbering 200,000. Because the Yintan people were good at riding and shooting, they became the main force of the Crusaders and often participated in frontal battlefields. At the beginning, the Huns
The Chanyu was trapped, and it was the puppet army of the Er Empire that was the main force."
"Hmph! Tell me, where is Fannie'er being held?" Zhou Sen snorted coldly and stood up abruptly.
"In the palace prison..."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Zhou Sen strode towards the door, his long hair flying, and quickly disappeared out the door.
Looking at the disappearing figure, the shopkeeper lost his mind for a while.
who is he?
Why is it so familiar?
What did he ask Fannie for?
Who would care so much about Vannier?
"Zhou... Zhou... General Zhou..."
The shopkeeper suddenly woke up and rushed to the door, but there was still trace of Zhou Sen there.
"The Undefeated God of War is back, the Undefeated God of War is back... It turns out that the Undefeated God of War is the largest shareholder of our Spark Trading Company..."
The shopkeeper murmured to himself, his face distorted because he was so excited.
Zhou Sen himself was the idol of every common people in the Han Empire, but the shopkeeper never dreamed that the largest owner of Xinghuo Trading Company was Zhou Sen. You can imagine how excited he was.
Zhou Sen left suddenly, was he going to rescue Fan Ni'er?
Thinking of Fannier being rescued by Zhou Sen, the shopkeeper was so excited that he couldn't control himself. You must know that Fannier was a household name in the Han Empire and was respected as a heroine by many people. It was precisely because of Fannier that the Xiongnu nation,
Only then was he accepted and recognized by the Han Empire.
Fannie'er was accepted by the people of the Han Empire, and it was also inseparable from his relationship with Zhou Sen. As the saying goes, Fannie'er has a close relationship with Zhou Sen, and it is reasonable for Fannie'er to be liked by the people of the Han Empire...
…
The next day, just when the shopkeeper was expecting shocking news to break out in the Er Imperial Capital, nothing happened.
Zhou Sen did not rescue Fannie'er immediately.
Fannie'er has been captured for several months, and there is no rush to rescue her.
Through analysis, Zhou Sen believes that Vannier should be an important chess piece of the Crusaders, otherwise, he would not have come all the way here.
Since he is an important chess piece, Fan Ni'er should not be in danger of his life for the time being.
What exactly does Vannier do?
Zhou Sen was puzzled.
Although Vannier's status is important, she is only the spokesperson of a family. Although her family has some influence in the Xiongnu, it is not enough to influence the entire Xiongnu.
Could it be because of the relationship between Fannie'er and me?
Zhou Sen was shocked, this possibility was very high.
If Zhou Sen once returned to the inland areas of the Han Empire, then the Crusaders would most likely use the chess piece Vannier.
When Zhou Sen was at Notre Dame Mountain, he became a beauty in a rage, became an enemy of the martial arts world, and was said to be the best in the world. If the Crusaders really used Vannier to threaten Zhou Sen, then Zhou Sen would really be in a dilemma.
If threatened, Zhou Sen would naturally betray the Han Empire.
If not coerced, it will also affect Zhou Sen's reputation. Many young people who admire Zhou Sen will think that Zhou Sen is a ruthless and unjust person.
No matter what kind of result it is, Fan Ni'er is a clever move. Any ending is not what Zhou Sen wants to see.
"It's really vicious!" Zhou Sen cursed angrily in his heart.
Zhou Sen didn't know that the Crusaders now regarded him as their number one enemy and hated him to the core.
Thinking about it, it is indeed true. The Han Empire, which was originally on the verge of death, lived in Wuchao City. It finally took a breath and launched a fierce counterattack. All of this was thanks to Zhou Sen.
At the beginning, Zhou Sen relied on Tongzhou City to not only attack the east and attack the west, solving Wuchao City's urgent needs, but also severely damaged Juzizhou's vitality.
In addition to the above, because of Zhou Sen, the Han Empire army gathered a large number of superpowers, and even some monsters united and gathered in large numbers on an unprecedented scale, which caused a deep headache for the Crusaders.
Everything is because of Zhou Sen.
The sudden disappearance of the instigator Zhou Sen made the Crusaders uneasy, because Zhou Sen also disappeared that year. However, after the disappearance, Zhou Sen suddenly appeared and turned his hands into clouds and rain, which quickly reversed the Crusaders' success.
situation.
This time Zhou Sen suddenly disappeared. Although the Crusaders got the news and knew that Zhou Sen was going to the prehistoric area to look for his confidante, the top Crusaders still did not dare to take it lightly and sent masters one after another to chase him. As a result, those masters with higher eyesight
So far, there is no news, even the resurrected Death disciple, the murderer King Haide, has not been heard from...
…
Zhou Sen did not rush to rescue people rashly. After all, this was the enemy's rear area.
Anger only blinds people.
If you want to rescue Fannie'er, you must first understand the situation and make sure everything is safe before taking action, so as not to resort to traps and be threatened instead.
Zhou Sen prepared to teach the royal family of the Er Empire a harsh lesson to let them know that Zhou Sen's people should not be easily provoked.
At this time, Zhou Sen was no longer just thinking about rescuing Fan Ni'er, but decided to do something earth-shattering to let everyone in the Yin Tan tribe know that he, Zhou Sen, was back!
In any environment, the first thing Zhou Sen does is to familiarize himself with the environment, understand the situation, and then make a decision.
At present, the information Zhou Sen obtained from Spark Trading Company is not enough for him to take drastic action.
Zhou Sen found a remote place and changed out of his shabby clothes.
In this society where people want clothes as much as gold, if they are too shabby, it is not appropriate to ask for information.
Zhou Sen began to visit major tea houses and brothels in the Er Empire, collecting a large number of hearsay rumors. However, Zhou Sen had already obtained most of the information from Xinghuo Trading Company, which had no practical significance.
On the third day, Zhou Sen, who was sitting in the restaurant, still found nothing. Just when he was bored and drinking by himself, suddenly, not far from him, a group of wealthy people came.
This group of Jianghu people seemed to be very impressive. Zhou Sen originally thought that he could overhear important news, but he was quickly disappointed because they were just a group of ordinary Jianghu people, and the aura they exuded was extremely weak.
This group of men seemed to have met on the road, reunited after a long absence, and invited them to this restaurant for a drink. It was just a way to reminisce about old times, without any valuable news.
Just when Zhou Sen was disappointed, suddenly, the words of those Jianghu people aroused his interest.
"Now that the war is in chaos, there is really nothing else to do except serve as a soldier. I wonder where Brother Tian can find a job?" A rough-looking man said loudly.
"No...no...you're just wandering around to make a living..." The gentle-looking man glanced around and lowered his voice and said, "Brother, this place is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, hawks and dogs are rampant, and the walls have ears. Be careful what you say."
"Brother Tian reminds me."
The rough-looking man glanced around, with a disapproving expression on his face.
At this time, the restaurant was very lively. The drinkers were talking loudly. No one noticed them. But sitting next to them was Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen was dressed very richly, wearing brocade clothes and gold and silver.
, with all kinds of rings on his hands, he looked like a drunken and frustrated playboy.
Everyone chatted with each other for a while, and then the rough man brought the topic to the person named Tian.
"Brother Tian, after the Er imperial capital was occupied by the Crusaders, some of the former noble families had their homes confiscated or their families exterminated. We had no place to earn a living. Looking at Brother Tian's clothes, we should be doing well.
, otherwise, let’s introduce the brothers out.”
"That's right, brothers are eating meat, and we are still drinking from the northwest wind. If there is any good way, don't forget the brothers."
Other people also shouted.
"...It's actually very easy to find a job. For example, the Hilton Hotel requires a lot of nursing homes. You all have extraordinary skills..."
"Bah!" The rugged man said with a righteous look on his face, "Even if we starve to death, we will not rely on those barbarians to find food and act as hawks and dogs!"
"Yes, we used to think that the Han soldiers were bad. It was only after the barbarians from the Kingdom of Heaven came that we discovered that the Han people were really good to us Ores. They never violated the rules and never discriminated against us Ores. But in this Kingdom of Heaven,
Barbarians, not only bully men and dominate women, but also do some deceitful things. I don't know what offended my former boss. They were ransacked and the whole family was in poverty. If I hadn't helped them occasionally, they would have been dead long ago.
Starved to death."
"Damn barbarians, my sister went out to buy some things and didn't come back. When I asked later, she was kidnapped by some barbarians on the street. One day, I will make them repay you double the amount!" A man suddenly grabbed her.
After drinking it all, he stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"..."
The crowd was agitated. Speaking of the cruelty of the Crusaders, everyone wanted to kill them at the Crusaders' camp immediately.
"Since the errands of the Kingdom of Heaven are not easy to do, why not join the army of the Russian Empire?" The gentle-looking man sighed.
"Imperial Army!"
Everyone sneered.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the difference between the imperial army and the Crusaders now? They have become puppets and work for the tiger!" a man said harshly.
"Hey...that really has no origin."
"There is a source. You can serve as soldiers in the Han Empire, but the journey is long, and we are Er people, and the Han people may not necessarily welcome us... Hey... I should have known this... forget it... forget it...
At this point, regretting is in vain..." The rugged man had a look of regret on his face.
"We are all brothers, no matter what, you are still afraid that your brothers will betray you!" The gentle man raised his cup and toasted to the rough man.
"Actually, it's nothing. When the Undefeated God of War invaded our imperial capital, I almost signed up to join the Han army. Later, my brothers persuaded me and I gave up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to suffer from the cowardice here."
"By the way, I heard that there is an underground organization called the Dragon Group, which is specifically against the Crusaders. Brother Tian doesn't know if there is any news. If you can find it, it would be a good thing to join them."
