Chapter 170: The Forces of the Borderlands
Shu Tongyu watched Du Jie and the waiter enter a single room, she didn't know the relationship between Du Jie and the waiter, and she didn't know what the boss here was going to do when he was looking for Du Jie, but she believed that Du Jie's coming here today was premeditated.
As for what she wanted to do, she couldn't figure it out, and she wouldn't think about it......
In the private room, a man turned his back to Du Jie, and after the waiter exited the room and closed the door, the man turned around and bowed, and said in a respectful tone: "Zhou Tong has seen my uncle." ”
"Hmm......" Du Jie nodded and sat aside.
In fact, Du Jie came here today because he had the intention after reading the letter Su Qiao'er wrote to him that day. Of course, if it weren't for that letter, Du Jie wouldn't have believed that the Zhou family still had such terrifying power in the Borderlands.
It seems that there are still many people who are worried about this fat piece of Borderlands!
"Old Zhou, sit down!"
Zhou Tong's age is not young, he looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, but because of the cultivation of the exercises, the whole person looks energetic, but he does not look like a little old man.
Zhou Tong did not shirk, and sat directly opposite Du Jie.
"Old Zhou, I want to know what is the Zhou family's power in the Borderlands now?" Du Jie got straight to the point without the slightest hesitation.
Zhou Tong was also quite neat, and replied directly: "Uncle Hui, at present, the power of our Zhou family is already a first-class force in the Borderland, of course, there are forces that are comparable to ours, the Chu family and the Nangong family have invested a lot in this Borderland, but even with the participation of the three of us, the biggest force in this Borderland is still not us. ”
"Oh, what are the forces, I'll hear it. ”
"Yes. Zhou Tong nodded yes and continued: "At present, there are two forces above our three forces, one is the Qian family who has mastered the rules of the spirit coin of the Borderland, and the other is the remnant force of the former Heavenless Demon......"
Hearing this, Du Jie interrupted Zhou Tong's words: "The Heavenless Demon still has power?"
"Yes. Zhou Tong seemed to understand why Du Jie had this doubt, so he explained again: "Many people have the same meaning as their uncle, but in fact, otherwise, the power of the Heavenless Demon has disappeared on the surface, but the hidden power of the Heavenless Demon is still the biggest force in this borderland." ”
"...... like this" Du Jie didn't doubt the authenticity of Zhou Tong's words, but Du Jie couldn't understand one thing, that is, why did the Heavenless Demon obviously have such a powerful force, and he didn't reunify this borderless land?
Thinking of the scene of meeting the Heavenless Demon that day, a thought popped up in Du Jie's mind: Could it be that the Heavenless Demon was tired of the violent rule of the past?
Regarding the idea that suddenly arose to him, Du Jie shook his head busily, feeling that it was not advisable.
But if he wanted to finish the task given to him by his mother-in-law, Du Jie felt that the power of the Heavenless Demon was a big obstacle, as well as the Qian family. Thinking of the Qian family, Du Jie felt angry in his heart, the reason why he would be hunted down and killed by those people as soon as he came here was that the Qian family really contributed a lot.
"Old Zhou, is the Qian family's influence very wide?"
"Yes, uncle, you may not know, the Qian family was the son of the Heavenless Demon before, but after the Heavenless Demon disappeared, the Qian family slowly broke away from the Heavenless Demon, but because the Heavenless Demon was still in the Demon King's position, their Qian family mastered the spirit currency of this Borderless Land, so even if they betrayed the Heavenless Demon, no one dared to trouble them. ”
Du Jie, who waited for this, snorted coldly: "That was the ...... before"
Zhou Tong, as the person in charge of the Zhou family in the Borderlands, naturally has his own merits, and of course he knows very well that the reason why Du Jie said this is because the mastermind behind his previous hunting and killing was the Qian Zhuang under the Qian family. It's just that for the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Tong still has to remind Du Jie:
"Uncle, Madame has been laying out this borderless land for so long, please think twice. ”
Zhou Tong was actually very worried that Du Jie would use the power of the Zhou family to take revenge on the Qian family, in that case, it would only be a lose-lose situation, and in the end, others would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Du Jie is not a person who does not understand the current situation, although sometimes he acts impulsively, but those impulsives are deliberately done by Du Jie, because he knows that he can clean up the ending.
Feeling Zhou Tong's worry, Du Jie also smiled lightly, he knew that the person in front of him was really for the good of the Zhou family.
"Old Zhou, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes petty profits, I know what to do now; everything is still as usual, nothing will change, the Qian family can stand in this borderless land for so long, naturally there is a background, before we have a plan to completely get rid of them, we don't take the initiative to provoke them, as for the power of the Nangong family......"
Du Jie is pondering, the Nangong family is the most emotionless of the three, if you want to have feelings, it is also a nasty emotion. It's just that the Nangong family is a behemoth after all, if you attack them now, what will you do in the future, in case the Nangong family knows that the Zhou family in the borderless land has suppressed them, is it ready to directly confront the Zhou family outside?
Zhou Tong also understood Du Jie's concerns, but this time he smiled lightly: "Uncle, don't take into account the feelings of the Nangong family, over the years, his Nangong family has been eyeing our Zhou family outside, and the two have clashed a lot of times, although most of them are tied, but this relationship is not much; ”
Su Qiaoer's attitude towards the Nangong family Du Jie is naturally clear, she has already written it directly in the letter, this time the Nangong forces in the Borderland, Su Qiaoer hopes that Du Jie can be uprooted.
Su Qiaoer's arrangement was very simple, and she said a few words hastily, but it was difficult for Du Jie. It's okay for you to let Du Jie kill people and set fire to them in the middle of the night, but if you want to suppress the Nangong forces and eat them, Du Jie feels that this is a very difficult thing.
In the past, when he encountered something that embarrassed him, Du Jie would choose to sleep for a sleep or two, and when he woke up, he would almost forget about it;
"What should I do?" Du Jie was in a dilemma, a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Tong saw that Du Jie was in trouble, but there was no expression on his face, and he waited there quietly.
Du Jie has actually been watching Zhou Tong's complexion all the time, as long as Zhou Tong's face shows any performance, Du Jie will immediately give Zhou Tong a message and ask Zhou Tong if he has any ideas, but so far, Zhou Tong still hasn't spoken, and it seems that he has nothing to do.
But Dujie didn't believe it.
Du Jie was "heartbroken" in place for a long time, and Zhou Tongcai couldn't bear to say: "Uncle, in fact, now that the power of our Zhou family is faintly suppressing the Nangong family, it is not impossible to suppress them, but it is just ......"
"No, I can't. Without waiting for Zhou Tong to finish speaking, Du Jie bluntly refused: "The time and energy spent by the Zhou family in this borderless land is not ordinary, although you are sure to suppress the Nangong forces, you can kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, we can't do this kind of loss-making business, otherwise my mother-in-law may have to teach me a lesson." ”
Du Jie was actually most worried about losing too much power of the Zhou family, and then being reprimanded by his mother-in-law.
Zhou Tong also nodded, agreeing with Du Jie's words, but he still had something to say: "Uncle, in fact, we can pull people into the water." ”
"Pull people, pull whom?" Du Jie looked at Zhou Tong, in fact, he still had a candidate in his heart.
Zhou Tong also guessed what Du Jie was thinking, but he didn't expose it, but said it himself: "It's another force, the Chu family, one of the three......"
"Chu family!" Du Jie was pondering, in fact, Du Jie also had this idea, but is he sorry for his brother in this way, no matter what, the Chu family is very good to himself.
Zhou Tong seemed to have learned a lot about Du Jie and Chu Yifeng from Su Qiao'er, as well as some constant contact with the Chu family, so he persuaded him: "Uncle, you don't need to feel guilty, our cooperation with the Chu family is fair, and we won't take advantage of them, you also know that the relationship between the Chu family and the Zhou family has always been good, and with the two of us joining forces, it is much easier to bully the Nangong family." ”
"Hmm...... That's right, too. Du Jie nodded, but he felt that what Zhou Tong said was good.
The value of the Borderlands lies in the Ownerless, as well as the strange people here, you must know that there are few such places in the human world that can gather so many demons and monsters, so whoever masters this place is a group of powerful people. This is also why the three families will set up their own forces here, but one mountain can't accommodate two tigers after all, not to mention a few tigers.
"I will communicate with Chu Yifeng about this matter, but I don't know if it can be done, as for the division of interests, that is, you talk to him, I don't plan to care. ”
"Yes. Zhou Tong didn't refuse, he naturally knew that although the uncle in front of him was strong, he was not a good businessman, if this kind of thing was handed over to him, Zhou Tong was really not at ease.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Tong to say this kind of thing to Du Jie.
After negotiating these things, Du Jie should also go out, but he can't let Shu Tongyu wait outside for too long.
Du Jie just left the room, and before he had time to return to his seat, he found that there was an extra man in his seat at this time, and the man seemed to be saying something to Shu Tongyu, but Shu Tongyu didn't pay attention to him at all.
Could it be that he is a suitor who comes here again?
Waiting for Du Jie to walk in, Shu Tongyu raised his head to look at him, and then continued to glance out the window.
As for the man sitting in Du Jie's seat, he also noticed Du Jie, and when he found Du Jie's eyes looking at the woman opposite, his face turned angry: "Blind to your eyes, she is also what you can see?"
For this extremely arrogant words, Du Jie just smiled lightly, suddenly pulled the stool, kicked it out, and the man was kicked aside by Du Jie.
Then, Du Jie sat opposite Shu Tongyu with peace of mind, without looking at the man the whole time......
