Chapter 67: It's for Wuyan Town
As night fell, the bloody battle slowly came to an end. The Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment is officially history.
With a light breath, Lin Zhan slowly withdrew from his cultivation.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Lin Zhan saw a black suit appear in front of him. I don't know how long he's been waiting here.
Lin Zhan looked as usual, and asked at the man, "How is the situation?"
"Tie Long, the leader of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment, was killed by Liu Wanjiang, the head of the Liu family, and Dick, the controller of the Cora family. None of its senior ministries will be spared. All the martial artists above the seventh order were killed. The men were killed and wounded. Now the two families are rounding up the remnants of it. ”
Lin Zhan asked again, "What about the casualties of the Liu family and the Cora family?"
"The Motie Mercenary Regiment's counterattack is particularly tenacious. Most of the elite of the Liu family suffered casualties, and the Cora family also suffered a lot of casualties. In addition, at Liu Yongfu's request, his subordinates shot and killed Liu Shaokong. ”
"Really!" Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked, "No traces?"
"Nope. At that time, the Iron Dragon and the others had already broken up the formations of the Liu family and the Cora family. Taking advantage of the chaos, his subordinates seized the weapon of a ninth-order martial artist of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment and killed him with the common martial arts on the rivers and lakes. In the chaos, no one notices, and no trace is left. ”
Although Liu Shaokong is the young head of the Liu family, his qualifications are not bad. But because of his age limit, he is still only a sixth-order martial artist. A high-grade sage deliberately made a sneak attack in the chaos, and naturally no one would notice it in that situation.
The Motie Mercenary Group was destroyed, and the vitality of the remaining two major forces was greatly damaged, and the Liu family was no longer even a young family master. With Lin Zhan's backing, the current Wuyan Town is basically Liu Yongfu's world.
The situation had been reported, but the shadow guard hadn't left. Lin Zhan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked, "Do you have anything else?"
"My subordinates have some questions, and I would like to ask Childe to explain. ”
Whether it was reporting the situation before or questioning Lin Zhan now, this shadow guard has always been in the same tone. Not lukewarm, without the slightest ebb and flow.
Lin Zhan looked this shadow guard up and down. The whole body was wrapped in black, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
"What's your name?"
The shadow guard still said coldly: "The subordinates don't have names?"
Do people who don't even have a name have questions?
Lin Zhan couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
The person in front of him has been trained by the Lin family to be an excellent killing machine. His life will never have any other meaning in this life except to obey the orders of the head of the Lin family. Lin Tianxiao sent them over, in addition to protecting Lin Zhan's safety, monitoring Lin Zhan's every move along the road was also an important task for them.
Lin Zhan was just fighting there alone in the Tianxing Forest before, even if he met Wan'er and Lao Mo, it was just an accident, and he didn't show too much ambition. But this time to meddle in Wuyan Town, Lin Zhan's intentions are self-evident, and Lin Zhan is still doing it under the banner of the Lin family. The shadow guards came to help Lin Zhan only because the Motie Mercenary Group had blatantly threatened Lin Zhan's safety, and it was their duty.
Again, after the dust has settled. They also had to find out what Lin Zhan really thought, only in this way could they objectively report this matter to Lin Tianxiao.
Of course, as the shadow guard of the Lin Mansion, if Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, it would be impossible for them to force Lin Zhan. It's just that Lin Zhan's attitude will be 1510 reactions.
Lin Tianxiao is not a simple person. In the Heavenly Star Forest and Wuyan Town, God knows what kind of conjecture Lin Tianxiao will cause. At this time, it would not hurt Lin Zhan to explain it properly.
So Lin Zhan said quietly, "What questions do you have?"
"If Gongzi really wants to level Wuyan Town, why bother so much. When he returned to the imperial capital, he reported to the head of the family, and the head of the family would naturally make the decision for the son. Moreover, there are only three small forces in Wuyan Town, and there is no need for Gongzi to be so cautious and only eliminate one Moiron mercenary group. ”
Lin Zhan smiled silently, he was sent by Lin Tianxiao to protect himself, this shadow guard is indeed not simple. The words he said were ostensibly for Lin Zhan's consideration, but in fact he was testing Lin Zhan's attitude towards the Lin family.
Lin Zhan acted under the banner of the Lin family but deliberately left the Lin family, what did he want?
I believe this is also something that Lin Tianxiao is eager to know.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Zhan had already prepared a countermeasure, and immediately said, "You don't know much about the situation in Wuyan Town. It's small, but it's a big place. I will have to go in and out of the Star Forest often in the future, so naturally I want to build a stronghold here that I can rest assured. But the situation here is complicated, and all forces are involved. Even if he returned to the imperial capital and explained to his grandfather, it was impossible for his grandfather to interfere too much, and even if he sent someone over to punish the big commandment, it could only play a temporary role, not for a long time. So I can only support someone who belongs to me in Wuyan Town. The purpose of provoking the infighting of the three major forces and exterminating the Motie Mercenary Group is to pave the way for Liu Yongfu. ”
"Why did that prince only exterminate one of the Motie mercenary groups, and show kindness to the other two?"
"As I said, the situation here is complicated, and all forces are involved. If I forcibly defeat all the three major forces, Wuyan Town will be hit hard, and even if it recovers, it will lose its original effect, and the major forces in the imperial capital will not let it go. Among the three major forces in Wuyan Town, the Motie Mercenary Group is the most notorious and the most powerful. I will now dispose of the Motie mercenary group that has offended me, which will not only deter the entire Wuyan Town, but also greatly damage the strength of the two major forces, and will not stimulate the forces in the imperial capital too much. With one stone, it can support Liu Yongfu to the greatest extent. ”
The shadow guard asked again, "Then why are you sure that the Liu family and the Cora family will definitely obey Childe's orders to fight the Motie mercenary group?"
"Of course, you must know that there are no two tigers in one mountain. If there were only two major forces in Wuyan Town, the world would have been turned upside down a long time ago. It was the three-way balance that Wuyan Town maintained the balance on the surface. But Wuyan Town is still a huge powder keg, and it only takes a little spark to ignite. The Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment is a group of outlaws, extremely arrogant. There are many conflicts with the Liu family and the Cora family, and the two sides have deep grievances. This time, Tiehu died in front of Liu Shaokong and Miss Judy again. The Lin family is powerful, and the Motie mercenary group may not dare to seek revenge, but no one can say whether it will spread its anger on the heads of the two major forces. The two major forces are people who have been through the storm for a long time, so they can naturally see this. Coupled with the coercion behind my back, even if they are unwilling, they can only fight to the end with the Motie mercenary group. ”
The shadow guard's calm eyes finally fluctuated a little, and after a slight hesitation, he asked again, "Why did the boy order to get rid of Liu Shaokong?"
"There is a difference between the Liu family and the Cora family. The Cora family is more of a pure businessman. Businessmen pursue profits, and everything comes first in the interests of the family. Sometimes it is inevitable to look ahead and hesitate for the sake of profit. This kind of person is better controlled, as long as they are given enough benefits, they will definitely look at you. But the Liu family is different, from Liu Shaokong's performance, it can be seen that this is a group of speculators, who are extremely mellow on the surface, but in fact they are as vicious as poisonous snakes, and they have a lot of power. The Lin family's base camp is in the imperial capital, it is impossible for me to be stationed here, Liu Yongfu's ability is good, but strength is his Achilles' heel. Leaving Liu Shaokong behind will be a scourge sooner or later, so I have to get rid of him before I leave. ”
The shadow guard was silent for a while, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Even if he had guessed Lin Zhan's motives before, this shadow guard still didn't expect Lin Zhan to think so far. Especially the step of disposing of Liu Shaokong, Lin Zhan's ruthlessness and decisiveness are undoubtedly revealed.
Liu Shaokong had clearly expressed his intention to obey Lin Zhan, and he had already assumed himself as Lin Zhan's subordinate. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhan still saw through his disguise and removed him without hesitation.
After being silent for a moment, Ying Wei asked again coldly, "What is the purpose of that son's support for Liu Yongfu?"
Lin Zhan had just spoken for a long time, and he seemed to have confessed a lot, but he avoided the important and trivialized, and never confessed his true intentions. Unexpectedly, Wuyan Town had already fallen into Lin Zhan's hands. So what will Lin Zhan's next move be?
"What is it for?" Lin Zhan said to Ying Wei with an innocent expression on his face, "Didn't I say it just now, it's for Wuyan Town!"
