Chapter 340: Failure of Peaceful Settlement
I can't talk to Chen Yantian, an ally with entanglement interests, and it is naturally a waste of time to find Hong Wanfu, who has always hidden his head and never shown his face in public, or the owners of other gambling houses.
The text can't talk about it, and the only way left is to use force.
Of course, there is also a difference in the use of force. In Lin Dong's view, the most important thing is undoubtedly that the strength of the escort team will not be exposed. secondly, it is the relationship with Gu Huanzong, and finally it is his own personal strength.
In this regard, Lin Dong has already decided. If it can't end peacefully, find the flower family in the east of the city and use force to force the major casinos to compromise. There are just a few gambling houses, and if they really threaten the development of Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong doesn't mind letting all the gambling houses in Lingnan City disappear.
The reason why Lin Dong thought of finding a flower family was that Hua Wuyue already knew his strength, and it was completely possible to avoid the appearance of a second person who knew his strength, and if everything went as he wished, it was just in line with the plan that no strength would be exposed. Second, Lin Dong has a lot of interest in Hua Wuyue, especially after meeting Hua Wuyue in Lin Ji Gymnasium, Lin Dong has made up his mind that if Hua Wuyue does have an unmatched talent for arranging wine and food, and the price will not be too great, he doesn't mind finding a way to let Hua Wuyue join Lin Ji Inn. Looking for Hua Wuyue, you can also test Hua Wuyue's ability to arrange wine and food, and the price it takes for him to join Lin Ji Inn.
Of course, the top priority is to go to Wenyan Mountain first. The promotion of sports stars and gambling games in Lin Kee Stadium is still in the preparatory stage, and it will take half a month to say the least. Prior to this, major casinos implemented Lam Kee Stadium gambling tournaments, as long as they were prevented from controlling the game or being detrimental to the participants, the harm was not obvious. On the contrary, it is a little helpful in terms of raising the popularity of Lin Kee Inn and increasing the audience.
As long as this matter is resolved before the promotion of sports stars and gambling games at Lam Kee Stadium, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Out of Chen's mansion, Lin Dong jumped and climbed onto the roof. Then, like a rapidly beating spring, it continued to speed on the roofs of various houses, and its speed, even if it was seen, was only a flash of black shadows, and it would only be suspected that it was his own dazzle.
Back at the inn, Lin Dong stopped at the door of the lobby. was about to enter the door to talk to Ma Chun, but he didn't think about it, as soon as he stepped into the lobby, Ma Chun stepped forward, obviously looking for him again.
All the way to the front yard, Lin Dong knew the reason, the Xingli Sect Master Tour Beide, had already arrived at the Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City with the first batch of benefits.
The escort team has been busy with the affairs of the Lin Ji Inn, and the matter of expanding the number of escorts has to wait until the county is completely completed and he can get his support before they can start to march into the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Lingnan County to subdue the gangsters. Although there was an extra matter of adding perfume, Lin Dong had already decided to get enough money for each branch of Lin Ji Inn for three years and two years at a time, so naturally it was most advantageous to send all of them to the Heaven and Earth Cave to cultivate.
Even if you cultivate in the Heaven and Earth Cave, if you don't have enough ability to endure the suction force, the effect will be greatly weakened. But even so, if the cultivation time in the Heaven and Earth Cave is less than half a year, the speed at which the strength of the guards will increase is much better than that in the room with a seven-fold cultivation bonus in the Lin Ji Inn, and there is no need to consume a large number of spirit stones.
The seven-fold cultivation bonus is equivalent to thirty-two spirit stones per person per day. In half a year, the spirit stones consumed by the entire escort team need more than 30,000 pieces. Although more than 30,000 spirit stones are only more than 20,000 taels of silver, the impact on Lin Dong is not too great, but if you can save silver, of course, you can save as much as possible. More than 20,000 taels of silver, which is enough for the orphans and widows under the Lin Ji Inn to ensure that all the beggars in Lingnan County will have no worries about food and clothing within a year or two.
After arranging the cultivation of the escort team, and then asking about the inn's news today, Lin Dong laughed after learning that Hongfu Restaurant was changing its strategy with more than a dozen big restaurants that had joined forces, and began to use various strategies to break through, giving up fighting with the two big enemies of Fenglin Restaurant and Lin Ji Inn, but specifically targeting the signature dishes or specialties of the hostile restaurants, Lin Dong smiled.
This kind of thing, it's good to give Liang Gufeng a headache. As long as it is not aimed at the suppression of Lin Ji Inn, Lin Ji Inn just needs to join in the fun. If Hong Wanfu doesn't have a long eye and starts to use Lin Ji Inn as a breakthrough, it will not be too late for Lin Ji Inn to deal with it.
Anyway, Lin Ji Inn is now a little brother, and the victory or defeat has little impact on Lin Ji Inn. As long as it is not beaten by someone, Lin Ji Inn will follow the back of the big brother Fenglin Restaurant, waving a kitchen knife and waving the flag and shouting strong and powerful.
Back in the backyard, not long after practicing in the room, Ma Chun led a team of carriages and began to enter and exit at the side door. In the early morning of the next day, when Lin Dong went out again, there were already more than a thousand large iron boxes piled up in the entire backyard.
These large iron boxes, with a length of more than one meter in width and height, are completely built according to the area of the cellar of the Lin Kee Inn. The iron plate on the six sides of the iron box is not only extremely thin, but also the gap has been completely sealed with molten iron, and the seal is extremely strong, which is definitely the best choice for filling perfume.
For these big iron boxes, Lin Dong waited for four days.
After putting all the more than 1,000 large iron boxes into the mobile counter, after breakfast, Lin Dong and Yun Lan immediately went separately to find Yu Linglong and Old Man Ding.
Old Man Ding can only bring two at most by himself, but Yu Linglong knows the address of the Sanssouci Cave, and Yun Lan is more proficient in cracking the spirit array than Old Man Ding, and both of them are people who must go. And Lin Dong also has a reason to go...... Although his strength was one or two points worse than Yun Lan, and he was accompanied by Old Man Ding, he was still not at ease, afraid that Yun Lan would encounter some danger that even Old Man Ding would not be able to make a timely move when he broke through the formation in the Worry-Free Cave.
In order to save time, Lin Dong decided to let Yu Linglong set off alone. As for himself and Yun Lan, he asked Old Man Ding to rush to Wen Yanshan in the shortest possible time with his speed, spend two or three days collecting perfume first, and wait until Yu Linglong arrived at Wen Yanshan, and then go to Sanssouci Cave together.
Waiting for Yu Linglong to leave the backyard first, as soon as the word departure came out of his mouth, the next second, Lin Dong felt his shoulders tighten, and immediately, the scene in front of him changed rapidly, and a strong wind like a blade blew in his face, and it was not better until the shield was opened.
In the hands of Old Man Ding, a four-day journey can be done in one and a half hours. When the rapidly changing scenery in front of him suddenly stopped, Lin Dong looked up and saw that the endless Wen Yan Mountain was already in full view.
After finding a hunter to inquire, and determining their location, as well as the location of Xue Lanfeng, the three of them found a place where no one was.
In less than half an hour, Old Man Ding stopped again. What appeared in front of Lin Dong's eyes was no longer the green and endless mountains, but instead a white snow. The line of sight kept moving upwards until it reached the peak, in the snow-white world of white clouds and snow, and then a blue spire appeared.
Undoubtedly, this spire is the ice condensed by the perfume.
Lin Dong squatted down and grabbed a handful of white snow, and the cold air rippled in his palm.
Stretching his palm to his mouth, Lin Dong tasted the taste, and there was nothing peculiar about it.
"Old man, can you sense if there are people around and at the spire?" Lin Dong turned his head to look at Old Man Ding.
Old man Ding nodded, his eyes condensed slightly, and he stretched out for a moment.
"On the top of the entire mountain, only on the back of the spire there are five martial artists with a triple or four stages of the heart stage."
"Can you find out this?" Lin Dong smacked his tongue and couldn't help but look up at the position of the top of the spire, which was almost ten or twenty kilometers away from here. According to his guess, Old Man Ding's mind should be able to cover the situation there, even the back. What he didn't expect was that at such a distance, Old Man Ding could even use his mind to find out the strength of these people.
The strength of the peak powerhouse has far exceeded Lin Dong's expectations.
"Bring me wine." Old man Ding answered the question.
Lin Dong took out the last half of the five jars of top-quality wine from the mobile counter and handed it to Old Man Ding.
Old man Ding lifted the mud seal, took a sip carefully, and then put down the wine jar, and his right hand couldn't help but raise it, and after carefully pouring it before putting it down, he raised it and drank a small sip, and so on, and then handed the wine jar back to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong couldn't cry or laugh, he was a dignified peak powerhouse, playing the five altars of good wine that he had promised with a vague warning, which was really a bit inconsistent with his identity.
Old Man Ding glanced at Lin Dong, and after making sure he understood what he meant, he asked, "What should I do next?" ”
Putting the wine jar back on the mobile counter, Lin Dong said without thinking: "Go up to the top and avoid those five people." ”
Old man Ding grabbed it with his big hand, and took Lin Dong and the others to fly up, leaving no trace on the white snow.
In the blink of an eye, a distance of more than a dozen kilometers is close at hand. Compared to the snow-covered location, the cold air in the frozen area can be said to be 100 times stronger. At the moment when he just landed, the biting cold, Rao Yi Lin Dong had turned on the resistance of the air hood in order to resist the wind pressure, and he couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and the cold came from his heart.
After Lin Dong shuddered and glanced at Yun Lan, who was not shocked, he turned his head to look at Old Man Ding and asked, "With the strength of my Mind Stage Ninefold, how can I resist the strength of those five talents in the Mind Stage three or four?" ”
"It should be that I have taken the elixir of the cold protection type, and the cold qi here will not be invaded unless it has the strength of the heart reversal period." Before Old Man Ding could speak, Yun Lan had already taken out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a fiery red elixir, came to Lin Dong, who was trembling, and stuffed it into Lin Dong's mouth.
A breath of warmth slid down the throat in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Dong's trembling body stabilized, and there was an indescribable warmth all over his body.
"The effect of the medicine can be maintained for about a day." Yun Lan handed the small porcelain vase to Lin Dong and said apologetically, "When I came, I forgot to give it to you." ”
"It's fine!"
Lin Dong shook his head with a smile, put the small porcelain bottle into the mobile counter, and took out a large iron box and put it on a flat ice surface.
Then, taking out the Golden Leaf Sword and infusing it with spiritual power, Lin Dong took a sharp breath and slashed out towards a large raised ice pick above.
......Shh The tip of the sword sank into the ice, and continued to advance inward, only about 20 centimeters, and then the speed began to slow down, and it was difficult to advance an inch before it was 80 centimeters.
"This ice, it's so hard!"
Lin Dong was stunned, although he didn't do his best, but the strength of the eighth-order spirit sword, the strength of the ninefold mental stage, could not easily submerge into this ice cube with one sword, and the hardness of this perfume ice cube was probably inferior to that of refined iron.
"It's really tough! Plus the peculiar place of adding perfume. Yun Lan's gaze swept over the azure ice, and she couldn't help but praise: "The top of this Snow Blue Peak is enough to be regarded as one of the wonders of the Great Han Kingdom. I don't know who thought of spending a lot of effort to make the ice and use it as a stir-fry. ”
"It is estimated that there is a nearby sect that has cut off the water source, so get some snow as water, out of curiosity, I also got a piece of ice!" Lin Dong said with a smile.
"That's right." Yun Lan nodded, this may be the highest surname.
Lin Dong smiled, and in the dantian, the spiritual power surged out, constantly surging towards the sword body, and immediately, with a force, the Golden Leaf Sword advanced inward again, and did not stop until it was more than two meters old.
Without gaining momentum, with spiritual power alone, he could make the Golden Leaf Sword advance more than one meter in the ice block, which was Lin Dong's true strength.
The ice pick is about five meters long and about four meters in diameter at the bottom, and it slashes down with a sword from the top to the bottom, left and right, and the ice pick loses its support and falls downward.
With a bang, the icicle rolled on the ice a few times and stopped.
Lin Dong immediately swung his sword and slashed, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire ice pick was cut into thousands of ice cubes.
Spiritual power poured into the meridians, and all the ice cubes flew up in unison, flying towards the iron box, and soon the entire iron box was piled up. Four iron boxes were loaded in a row, and all the ice cubes were packed up quickly.
Putting all the four big iron boxes back on the mobile counter, Lin Dong looked at Yun Lan and Old Man Ding with a smile and explained, "How about I divide the labor?" ”
Yun Lan nodded, and Old Man Ding hooked his fingers indifferently.
Lin Dong took out a jar of three-year thyme and threw it to Old Man Ding, and said, "The old man is the strongest, and he is responsible for cutting out the ice and breaking it, and he has to take the time to monitor the five people on the north side of the mountain, so as not to let them notice." Yun Lan, you are responsible for leveling the area damaged by the old man, and try to repair and disguise the traces that have not been touched. As for me, I'm in charge of cleaning up the broken ice and packing the boxes. ”
The two nodded.
Lin Dong immediately handed the golden leaf sword in his hand to Old Man Ding.
"I don't need it!"
Old Man Ding shook his head, lifted the mud seal, and wrapped the wine jar with spiritual power, causing the frozen thyme in the altar to melt instantly, and after pouring a big mouthful, it suddenly turned into an afterimage and rose into the air.
In mid-air, his right hand was a knife, and he slashed downward.
Phew!
An invisible blade instantly split through a raised ice cube with a volume of hundreds of cubic meters.
There was a bang, and when the ice cube smashed on the ice, Old Man Ding instantly came to the top of the ice cube and stomped it down fiercely.
With a bang, the entire large ice cube, centered on the right foot of the old man Ding, a crack spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the creaking and cracking sound continued to sound.
In a moment, the entire ice cube exploded, and it cracked into countless fist-sized ice cubes.
Lin Dong was stunned, in just a few moments, hundreds of cubic meters, a thousand cubic meters, including the decoration of the ice surface and cleaning, I am afraid it can be done in just one hour.
The estimated time of two or three days is obviously too underestimated the effect of Old Man Ding's shot.
