Chapter III. Sword Asks Beiyan 105.The Fall of Julu County (4)
Even though Shen Gui has been instructed by many famous teachers, he has not learned any set of subtle tricks in a 'systematic' way after all. Therefore, when he used to do things with others, he relied on his own excellent 'physical condition'. If the enemy's offense and defense, forward and backward, and falling into his eyes are 'slow motion', then what subtle moves does he need to learn? Therefore, Shen Gui relied on this 'old book' and has been 'surviving' to this day......
But the woman he met today was a supreme master who surrounded him in all his abilities! In this way, even if you completely leak out your own virtue of 'not knowing anything'.
In the blink of an eye, the red bell in front of Shen Gui had already arrived, and he raised the short stick in his left hand and was about to smash it head-on; Shen Gui hurriedly raised his sword to resist, but he didn't expect that the stick in front of him with his left hand and his right hand would be firmly 'stabbed' in Shen Gui's stomach......
Shen Gui instantly suffered the double blow of 'stomach cramps' and 'thigh paralysis', and unconsciously began to lean back, but Chi Zhong obviously did not intend to let go of this 'mending knife' to beat the water dogs, she stepped out of her legs, stood directly on Shen Gui's body, bowed half of her body, lowered her head and picked up the double sticks in her hands, and hit Shen Gui's face with a burst of slashing and slapping......
By now, Shen Gui's Spring Rain Sword had long been kicked aside by Chi Zhong; Unarmed, facing the short sticks that fell like a torrential rain, he could only grit his teeth and raise his arms, which could not be moved, and he could stand above the door in front of him; At first, he could still remember that 'the shorter the distance, the lighter the force', and desperately stretched his arms outward, but when he gritted his teeth and received more than a dozen sticks, he could no longer care about any 'reducing strength', so he could only weakly withdraw his scarred and tired arms, holding his head and desperately protecting his face......
The next 'brutal and unkind' martial arts scene is not at all 'chic' in the eyes of a third party: it is like a fierce woman in a small village courtyard, picking up two rolling pins and beating her own greedy dog......
The chief steward of the Huashen Business Group bared his teeth and looked at it for a long time, and finally became a little impatient:
"Chi Zhong, remember to leave your last breath for Young Master Shen...... After asking about the whereabouts of those two dragon nails, it's not too late to send him on his way......"
Unexpectedly, when this sentence came out, the red bell that was beating the drum with great interest, immediately stopped the two 'drumsticks' flying up and down in his hand, and turned his head excitedly, his eyes bloomed with bloodthirsty light, and he said to him in a bewitching and strange voice:
"If you dare to say half a word of nonsense, my mother will beat you together!"
Shen Gui's body bones have been beaten 'solid'. Not only is the skin rough and the flesh thick, but the recovery ability is also extremely amazing, so he can barely resist the 'storm' of Chi Zhong, but the chief steward is obviously just an ordinary person who is powerless, if the two short ash rods in Chi Zhong's hands really knock on him...... It must be a break, a break! If one is accidentally knocked on the right place, he will definitely not even be able to count the 'two', and he will have to die on the spot......
But after all, the chief steward is a businessman, and he knows very well the necessity of being good. In the face of Chi Zhong's powerful 'foreign aid' threatening words, he didn't even say a punctuation mark, and immediately blocked his mouth with the wine and food on the table.
Although Shen Gui's bones and meridians were very strong, he was still powerless to resist for too long in the face of the two short sticks that hit like a raging storm... It didn't take long for his habitual left arm to be overwhelmed and let out a 'creaking' sound of broken bones grinding......
With this broken arm bone, the empty door on the forehead will naturally be wide open! With the next two crisp sounds, it was completely announced that Shen Gui's consciousness had fallen into a deep coma...... Although the forehead is the hardest part of the human body, in the face of such a dense attack, it is definitely impossible to run away from a concussion......
Seeing that Shen Gui couldn't stand it, his arms hung down weakly, and the whole person fell into a coma, the chief steward finally couldn't help it!
Damn it! Isn't this girl sent by Di Ting to help our Huashen Sect? Since it is a cooperative relationship between each and its own master, it is reasonable not to listen to me; But everyone is coming together for the same purpose, and I can't care if you just beat him into a puddle of mud; But this person can't tell whether he is dead or alive now, in case he hides those two dragon nails in a cave, he will never think about finding them again in this life! In other words, if Shen Gui didn't confide anything, he would be beaten to death by her; Then Lao Tzu's little life can be completely explained!
Thinking of this, the chief steward overturned the table with a hula, plucked up the courage in his chest, and pointed to the middle-aged woman who was thinking and shouted:
"Red Bell! Why are you ......?"
"Whoa......
This middle-aged woman is really a person who walks the talk! When the chief steward shouted, he did not even look back, but resolutely raised his hand and 'shot' a broken stick in his hand behind him, and it is true that this iron olive and the broken wooden stick are indeed incomparable, neither so fast, nor can they have hit the target before the sound of breaking the sky is made; However, this chief steward is not a practitioner after all, in the face of this high-speed 'alien secret weapon', he didn't even successfully focus his eyes, and was instantly passed through his throat by the broken stick with wooden stubble, leaving only a terrifying-looking flesh hole......
Chi Zhong didn't even look at the dead body that fell to the ground, but bent down to 'scoop' up the unconscious Shen Gui, and fought with his waist, first put the 'dead dog with a broken arm' on his shoulder, and then flew up and kicked over a brazier next to him, and then strode out of this gorgeous Sanjin mansion......
When the short Chi Zhong and Shen Gui, who was carrying 'front and back', stepped out of the gate of this mansion, the entire Huashen Business Group's station ignited a sky-high fire......
Although it was already dark, it was not yet time to go to bed; In addition, Julu County is not too big, and the fire on the side of the Huashen Business Group's station immediately alarmed the people of the county!
Lord Chen, who had just fled back to the county government in a hurry, was immediately shocked into a cold sweat when he saw the fire in the direction of the merchant group's station! That's his 'confidant' - Zhang Yuan's industry! And now the ordinary people of the entire Julu County, whether they are moving, sitting, sleeping, eating, drinking, and wearing, which one can be separated from the Huashen Business Group? What is the identity of the masked man in black? And why did he go against a group of businessmen who 'laughed when they met each other'? Why did they put down a fire and burn down the entire merchant group's residence now? And was the kind and heroic steward in the fire?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhixian couldn't hold back anymore. didn't have time to change out of the robe soaked in cold sweat, pushed away the little guy who helped him reply, and walked towards the study that was still lit up!
Looking at the entire Julu County, the only people who are qualified to enter and exit freely in his study are the two right-hand men he personally invited back - Xue Zhutou and Master Cheng. Now the two of them were all iron-blue, and they looked through a wide open window at the night sky in the distance, which was red by fire......
"Mr. Cheng, Xue Zhutou...... What the hell is going on? ”
Master Chen, who had completely sobered up, staggered into the study at this time and sat down on his chair......
Mr. Cheng and Xue Zhutou glanced at each other, and both of them saw the look of embarrassment in each other's eyes; In the end, Master Cheng stepped forward and comforted Master Chen in a low voice:
"The proprietor needs not worry about this! According to the students, the 'man in black' should be going to the Huashen Sect, and he has nothing to do with my Julu County. And even though the Huashen Merchant Group's residence was burned, their materials and goods were always stored in the warehouse outside the city, and they were still intact at this time. Thinking about it this way, if this fire burns, it will only kill a few people! As long as Xue Zhutou can step up the investigation of the case afterwards, the county government will come forward to deal with the aftermath, help the Huashen business group choose another station, and then the proprietor and the Huashen Supreme Sect Lord have a very close personal relationship, presumably we should not be implicated in this matter! ”
After hearing this, Master Chen shook his head helplessly:
"Mr. Cheng is wrong! This county is not worried that it will be implicated, but is afraid that the entire Huashen Sect will completely move out of this county because of this fire! Hey, the public and private account books of our Julu County are all handled by Mr. himself; When it comes to income and expenditure, you are naturally familiar with it! It can be said that as long as their Huashen business group withdraws, our Julu County, down to the common people, up to us and the other three, will all end up with a 'dead and no place to be buried'! ”
In fact, just as Lord Chen worried, the financial situation of Julu County has actually been a treat that has been beyond its means for many years! Although before the Huashen Sect came here, this place was also an 'important trading town' with many merchants, but the magistrates of Julu County who had served in Julu County were all 'empty rich men' in name only.
This Julu County can really be described as 'success is also in the geographical location, and defeat is also in the geographical location'......
According to the views of ordinary people: as long as there are many caravans in the past, inns and restaurants will bear the brunt of the first profit; In addition, there are such things as blacksmith shops, carriage and horse shops, pharmacies, medical halls, and even casinos and tooth people, all of which can eat a big belly and a round waist with soup and water! Of course, this idea is not wrong, although the business atmosphere of their Julu County is not very strong, but just by providing 'supporting services' to the merchants who come and go, it is enough for the people of Julu County to live a good life comfortably!
But whoever has bitterness in his heart, who knows best! No matter how much income you make, if you can't cover the expenses, it's still a loss-making business!
