Chapter Ninety-Nine: The simpler it is, the rougher it is

"Vivien is a 'former' reincarnation that has been wiped out by the main god, but her strength is quite strong, even the main god has not been able to completely kill her, leaving her soul to wander in this dimensional world. In the process of cultivating the exercises, there was a conflict of qi and blood in my body, and the part belonging to the demon attracted her sideways, and I had been fighting and entangled with her in the spirit world for the past three months, and now, it can finally be solved. Sitting in a warmly furnished but not spacious room, the fireplace next to him burned with orange-red warm light, Zhu Peng opened the teacup and tasted the unique fragrant tea in this world, Zhu Wen sat near him with his hands on his chin, and listened carefully to him tell the cause and effect of March's coma.

"Although I am immersed in the dream world, because my divine consciousness after building the foundation is pure, some of my spirit can still spread to the surrounding area beyond Vivian's expectations. If I encounter a mortal danger, I can wake up at any time, but I have been safe and sound for the past three months, but it has been a pain for you, and it is very hard for a person to create a force while taking care of me, right? ”

Zhu Wen, who was beside Zhu Peng, listened to his words, and her delicate little face turned red.

She was originally a pure white with no pupils, and although there was some weird beauty, it was more terrifying. It's just that before leaving Chanda, Zhu Peng formed a pair of faint silver blurred pupils with some herbs, although it was just a decoration and it looked a little weird, but it was much better than directly exposing the whites of the eyes - it was not that Zhu Peng minded beauty and ugliness, but he was afraid that this plane similar to the Western Middle Ages also had a tradition of "witch hunting".

If you don't hide it, she has a somewhat terrifying beauty like Zhu Wen. But it is easy to be burned at the stake.

"I'm sorry, brother, I've lost all the wealth you've worked so hard to accumulate during this time." After Zhu Wen was praised by Zhu Peng. The little face was a little red, and then the eye circles gradually turned red, and big tears flowed, but they were wronged. Five thousand dinars were defeated in just three months, which is of course easy to say, but it is really difficult to say that it is difficult. The total consumption of a medium family in Calradia is 350 years. That's pretty much it.

"I only vaguely perceive your situation, what is going on, you tell me, five thousand dinars is all the start-up capital for the two of us. And you're not a nonsense person. ”

"It's none of Miss Ewen's business. Master, miss, she's just unlucky. If it's not for bad luck, you can now see a preliminarily established order. A maid girl in a blue dress sprang out, and she walked lightly and silently. At this moment, I can't help but rush out. Even Zhu Wen, who was sitting on the side and burst into tears, was taken aback.

"Kress, it's none of your business. Whatever the reason, it is an indisputable fact that the five thousand dinars are now depleted. Zhu Wen wiped the tears on her cheeks and let Kress retreat, the small house was only a maid for Kress, and even when Zhu Wen was away, Zhu Peng was taken care of by Kress, which not only shows Zhu Wen's financial embarrassment, but also shows her trust in Kress Cheng DΓΉ. During the three months that Zhu Peng was in a coma, Zhu Wen was alone in the city of Vigia Curau. Obviously experienced many, many wonderful stories.

Zhu Peng stretched his body and put on a more comfortable posture to listen to the girl's story of March.

"Little brother, after you fell into a coma. I waited for three days to see that you had not come to your senses, and felt that I could no longer eat from the mountain, so I began to do business in the city of Kulao, and I invested in a blacksmith shop in this city for three thousand dinars, because Kulau was rich in iron, and the business of the blacksmith shop was very prosperous, and in the first week it brought me a profit of more than four hundred dinars...... After a few transactions with the mayor of this city, the reputation of my mercenary group 'Black Rose' grew, and that was the best time for the exhibition, and even the nobles of Kulau began to notice my mercenary group...... Until the second month of your coma, Vegia went to war with the Kingdom of Kujit, and I, with a force of forty men, became a mercenary of the Kingdom of Vigia, and I could even be said to be a reserve nobleman, at the invitation of the Lord of Kulau.

However, the nightmare unfolded. Because of the fierce fighting between the two armies, and the cavalry of Kugit coming and going, there was no merchant to go freely to and from the city of Kulao, and after several robberies, I had to suspend the sale of iron products and began to hoard goods, at that time I still had a mercenary group of more than forty people, even among the aristocratic class of Virgia, it was not a weak combat force, and if I was careful to manage it, there was no problem in maintaining financial expenses...... If it weren't for the siege later held back by a few of the nobles of Kugit, I might have become the new nobleman of Virgia by now. ”

Zhu Wen's long story in the past three months is simply a history of blood and tears in the struggle of the newcomers of Calradia Big 6, holding a little assets in his hands to open a factory to usher in the war, selling himself to Virgian as a mercenary, being used as cannon fodder and bait by cold-blooded nobles, participating in high-class banquets when he has soldiers in his hands and going to and from the noble earl, and when the troops in his hands are exhausted, it will fall from heaven to hell. The aristocrat who turns his face faster than the book, the ugly and greedy businessman, the changes in the world and the warmth of human feelings in the past three months, Zhu Wen has tasted them one by one, and in the end what is left is only full of bitterness and endless frustration, it can be said that if it were not for Zhu Peng's timely awakening, the girl would have gradually fallen into a desperate situation.

Of course, it's in a similar state now.

"Knock knock...... Bang bang bang ......"

If it was a beating at the beginning, then the sound after it was smashing. Listening to this rough knock on the door, Zhu Wen's face became a little pale, and then turned red.

Kress, who was serving on the side, hesitated whether to go over and open the door, but before Zhu Wen could make a decision, Zhu Peng, who had been sitting there quietly, had already waved his hand to let Kress open the door. At this time period, this way of knocking on the door, Zhu Peng didn't need to ask to know who was coming...... In addition to creditors, only those who engage in forced demolition have such an indomitable momentum.

"In order to save you, the mercenary group that failed to save after all. How much money is owed? Zhu Peng glanced at Zhu Wen and asked lightly.

"A total of eight hundred and fifty dinars...... I made an appointment with those bastards to return it at the end of the month. ”

"It's common sense that the wall is falling down and everyone pushes it, but you can still borrow more than 800 dinars after the whole army is destroyed, it should be because of the ownership of the blacksmith shop, right?" Zhu Pengdong said as if watching the fire. It's not so much a question as a positive confirmation.

"It's not just the contract of the blacksmith's shop, but the finished ironwork accumulated in the warehouse is worth more than 1,500 dinars, but it's just that it's still fighting and can't be sold."

While the brother and sister were talking, Kress had already led Zhu Wen's group of creditors in. Eight hundred and fifty dinars have to borrow so many people, so it can be seen that these things are not in front of them. Middle-level businessmen are also in the sky.

"Miss Yiwen, we all trusted you before we lent you money in the first place. Now that we have a shortfall in working capital, you can't afford to ignore it...... Otherwise, we will sue the mayor or even the lord of the city. It's too much damage to your reputation. A group of middle-level merchants in Kulao City took a thin middle-aged man with a brown head, this monkey-like man's face was slightly pale, his eyes flickered, Zhu Peng could taste a treacherous and cunning meaning from his face and attitude just by looking at this man.

His words are not outstanding, but they are extremely accurate. Zhu Wen, who has basically settled on her body, is the most valuable at this moment. So he attacked the death hole and forced Zhu Wen to submit...... If you are already a nobleman, that's it. However, if a prospective nobleman is rumored to have a financial dispute, whether it is justified or not, it will bring a huge obstacle to the future promotion path. What's more, the reputation at this time was established by Zhu Wen's mercenary group with great effort in several bloody battles, where is it said that you can give it up.

"Here is the deed to the blacksmith's shop in the city of Kulau, the key to the storehouse where the stock of iron vessels worth fifteen hundred dinars is kept. Whoever of you brings a thousand dinars, and the contract and the key will belong to him. But only tonight, I'm leaving with Ewen tomorrow night, so this is your last chance to plot. "Hit three inches straight to the middle palace. Zhu Peng took the contract and key with the girl's body temperature from Zhu Wen's hand, and put them directly on the wooden table beside him to say words that surprised everyone present.

"Brother. The iron in the storehouse alone is more than the money I owe them. Moreover, the city lord of Kulau has some dealings with me, and they can't do anything if they don't pay them back now. Zhu Wen thought that Zhu Peng had some good way to keep the industry, but she didn't expect that she had just handed over the things and listened to Zhu Peng selling shops and land, and she couldn't control it for a while.

"Money is wealth only when it circulates and generates value, and if it loses these characteristics, it is nothing...... Wenwen, you care too much and get into the drama too much. ”

The merchants who had received Zhu Peng's promise to betray almost left in droves, and the great reason they had lent money to Yiwen before was the blacksmith shop in Kulau, so that they could spend more than 3,000 dinars to build a blacksmith shop and continue to operate it in an environment of frequent wars, they did not have the courage to do so. But if you can get a shop with money every day just by paying a small price, it is a temptation that cannot be refused for businessmen, so with Zhu Peng's betrayal, the loose alliance formed by those merchants suddenly scattered and could no longer be condensed.

The room that was still bustling just now was emptied in an instant, and Zhu Wen and Kress were almost unable to react. It wasn't until Zhu Peng slowly stood up and asked Zhu Wen, "Little sister, do you have a sword?" Give me a sword that's sharp enough. ”

"Brother, you ...... What do you want a sword for? ”

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day is murderous and arsonous.

Not only do you want to keep Kulao's industry, but you also need to quickly accumulate a large amount of money to recruit strength, how can you do it without killing people! With some sighs, he patted Zhu Wen's shoulder, only to feel that even if his sister has experienced some training, she is still immature after all, and "grabbing" is definitely one of the fastest ways to get money in this world.

"Now Virgia and Kugit are fighting each other, and the war between the two countries is even fierce to the point of getting close to the main city of Viggia. I can fully imagine high-ranking mercenaries being recruited by nobles and big merchants at high prices, and the small merchants like you have interacted with can afford to hire two or three mid-level guards, and I even suspect that many of them love money more than their lives, and will not hire guards at all if they are lucky. ”

Inside the city of Kulau. Under the cold moonlight, Zhu Peng, who was dressed in a black robe, carried a slender cross sword at his waist, and turned his head sideways to Zhu Wen and Kress behind him.

"So you're forcing them to close the deal only tonight. Neither give them time to think nor give them the opportunity to hire bodyguards temporarily...... As long as we kill them all, the money is ours, the property is ours, and we don't even have to pay back the eight hundred and fifty dinars. Muttering, Zhu Wen's whole body was trembling slightly, she had actually experienced a lot of fierce battles in the past three months, but every battle before was a natural fight in the name of the country and even justice. Red like Zhu Peng. The naked pursuit of the most realistic interests. But it made Zhu Wen tremble for no reason.

"It's just a matter of killing a few businessmen who are covered in copper and have bad intentions, if Wenwen you don't feel comfortable, I'll leave it to me later." Sometimes. Choosing to confront the majority of people from an individual position for some goals is also a kind of tempering and cultivation...... I came from that era, for a little bit of resources, a little chance of promotion. They fight and devour each other like Shura. In this process, the only thing you can't forget is what you want in the first place. With such faint words, as if telling a faint dream, Zhu Peng suddenly stretched out his palm and lightly hit a big tree on the side of the street.

"Hoo ......" The wind is blowing, dancing and sweeping the large scattered leaves on the treetops.

Three men had just turned around the corner of the street, and they were greeted by a large field of wind leaves.

"Why is it so windy all of a sudden......"

The thin, slightly pale Kulau merchant shielded the wind blades with his palms in front of him, and through the gap between his fingers, he vaguely saw a dark shadow rushing towards him with a strong wind, and the two mercenary crossbowmen on his side had just reacted and raised the crossbow machine in their hands. Under the moonlight, a silver-white sword light had already flickered and bloomed, and the arc was as perfect as the oblique moon breaking through the sky.

"Choke...... Burst...... Burst...... Poof......"

Hit the tree. Charge, draw your sword, slash ...... When Zhu Peng and the three people staggered and slowly withdrew the slender cross sword in their hands, there were already three corpses lying down behind him, Zhu Peng's three-month sleep was not really sleeping, compared to three months ago, at this time, Zhu Peng's spiritual consciousness was improved and purified by nearly one-third of the strength, and the improvement of martial arts and swordsmanship was even more unreasonable. In other dimensional worlds, in Calradia, a big 6 that restricts high-level energy, if you have the ghostly combat power of ancient Lu Bu, you can sweep the legion sword and point at the great nobles alone, this is a blood-colored world where the sword of the common man can fight the princes and even the sword of the Son of Heaven.

Drawing his sword and slashing wantonly, a night shadow suddenly jumped from the wall and roof to several people, and suddenly struck out to control the sword in his hand with a strong physique, and the exquisite cross sword even collided with the armor and exploded a large area of sparks. This time, the merchant who ambushed him actually hired three quite powerful mercenary swordsmen, these cunzΓ i who were dressed in chain iron armor and waved two-handed heavy swords were already close to the top troops in the battlefield, and they were fierce and fierce, and they had extremely rich combat experience.

With both hands stabbing their swords into their chests, they slammed into the wall one by one with a mercenary swordsman, and after drawing their swords suddenly, they slashed at each other, sealing their throats and killing them. There was a scream behind him, but Zhu Peng turned around but the mercenary swordsman who was chasing behind him was pierced by a sharp silver flying knife in his left eye, but it was the blue-dressed maid who was hiding in the shadows of the wall like a cat before, Kress suddenly shot like a poisonous snake, saving Zhu Peng a lot of trouble. Surrounded by Zhu Peng, Zhu Wen and Kress, the Kulau merchant collapsed on the spot, he fell to his knees and wept and took out the money bag from his arms, trembling and holding it high above his head. Zhu Peng took the money bag and turned to leave, but Kress suddenly pounced and stabbed the merchant into the heart, and the woman licked her mouth with her tongue excitedly, like a wild beast that saw blood and went crazy.

"Kress has a very good sense of direction, a keen instinct, a quick hand and a very vicious shot. With such a wonderful and loyal subordinate by your side, you let her be a maid? Zhu Wen on his side asked, Zhu Peng was very appreciative of Kress tonight's appearance, beast-like intuition, sensitivity from ordinary people, and most importantly, he was unintentional to the enemy, but he was very loyal to Zhu Wen.

"When Kress and I first met, she was a beggar who had stolen her mistress's belongings and fled for her life. I just took her in when I saw her pitiful, how could I have thought that she would be so good and so temperamental...... Uh, peculiar. ”

"Judging by her manners and etiquette, she should be a maid of a noble family, and after stealing the hostess's property, she was able to escape the pursuit of the samurai and survive. Either the value of what she stole was extremely low, or the woman's talent was extremely outstanding, and from the current point of view, it seems that the latter is more of a bit more. After killing the fifth wave of merchants, the sky was already half dark and half white, but at this time it was the time when ordinary people were sleeping the deepest, Zhu Peng did not continue to make the next vote and took Zhu Wen and Kress back to their current residence, if someone really came to buy a blacksmith shop with a thousand dinars at this time, Zhu Peng would really sell, but nothing happened overnight.

Who had the biggest vested interest in this night's robbery?

It's not Zhu Peng or Zhu Wen, but the city lord of Kulao, who is stuck in a stalemate and lacks funds. In wartime, many rules are no longer rules. (To be continued!)
