Chapter 19: Adding fuel to the fire
After confirming that this person was the gunman he had knocked unconscious, Yi Shu carried him up satisfied, and then turned and walked into the dark street, ignoring Tom Hagen on the side.
From the few words he had just overheard, Yi Shu easily guessed Tom's identity.
But he didn't mean to deal with Tom and the Corleone family.
As a person of later generations, Yi Shu naturally knew the later prosperity of this family, and also knew that they finally paid a terrible price to win this war.
But what does this have to do with him?
After all, he is a Chinese, so his position is naturally biased towards Hongmen and makes profits for his own people.
Rather than getting involved in this war, it is better to take advantage of the Corleone family and the Solasso war to sneak up on their manors and camps, and rob some stolen money and antique calligraphy and paintings.
After passing on the secret method of the Dragon Fist to Feilong and the others during the day, Yi Shu returned to his room, used the ability of [Information Interaction] to ask about the ring, and finally learned the secret of the energy on the teapot.
According to the information feedback of the ring, the [energy] required by the ring is a special energy with certain high-dimensional properties, and in the low-level world where the transcendent is not visible, such [energy] can only be reflected in some special items.
For example, the objects that the craftsman painstakingly crafted, the weapons that the blacksmith put into the painstaking creation, and so on.
Creative crafts like this basically have a certain amount of [energy] attached to them.
But it is not necessary to be serious and condense [energy], you must devote yourself to it.
Once such an object is born, it will be faintly connected to its creator's mind, embodied in the low-level world, that is, the weapon is free, more comfortable, jade to play, more comfortable, and so on.
If such an object were to be broken, its creator would feel it and feel heartache.
Such an object is very rare, and the [energy] contained in it is also the most in the low-level world.
Yi Shu didn't have the good fortune to come across one casually.
Wei Zhongxian's teapot that had been absorbed was actually the energy condensed in another way.
This method is relatively simple, as long as it is an object that someone loves very much, carries it with you, or often plays with it for decades, there is a certain probability of condensing the energy required for the ring.
It's just that this process is relatively slow, and it will take at least a few generations, or even more than a dozen generations, to achieve.
For example, this Wei Zhongxian's teapot was not only Wei Zhongxian's favorite teapot back then, but also one of his favorite objects when it fell into the hands of various people.
It has been circulating like this for hundreds of years before it can condense 327 points of [energy].
This is the kind of thing that Yi Shu mainly wants to get his hands on.
The Central Plains has been in the land for 5,000 years, and there will definitely be no shortage of similar inheritances.
As small as the hoe on the farmer's field, to the large jade seal of the country that is "ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", it is possible to condense energy, but compared with the farmers who have not been inherited for three generations, the farm tools that are often rebuilt in the furnace will have a greater probability of being collected by the royal family in ancient times.
When the treasure is in hand, the energy belongs to himself, and the stolen money and antique calligraphy and paintings are entrusted to Hongmen for safekeeping.
Just wait for the continent to return to one, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and these things will be sent back.
"Wait!"
Seeing Yi Shu walking farther and farther, Tom couldn't help but step forward and whisper.
Yi Shu didn't want to pay attention to him, but an idea popped into his head, so he stopped, searched the gunman's pocket, pulled out the car keys, and turned his head and threw it at Tom.
Tom didn't know why, so he subconsciously caught it, and then looked at Yi Shu suspiciously
The corners of his mouth tapped under the mask, his eyes curled, he met Tom's face with a smile, and thenβkicked the stone on the side of the road into the air!
"Bang!"
The flying stone turned into a streamer of light, and in the blink of an eye, it smashed through the window of the car next to Tom.
It wasn't a loud voice, but to Tom's ears, it sounded like a hammer smashing into his heart.
Tom's eyes widened, and he turned his head sharply to look at the man in black, only to find that the man in black quickly turned around, strode forward with the unconscious gunman, and in a few leaps, disappeared into the darkness of the rainy night.
"What's going on?"
"Go out and have a look at a few people, and bring Tom in by the way."
A faint sound came from the dimly lit building, and Tom was so frightened that he ran to the car and scrambled to open the door.
If it had been a minute ago, he would have been invited to speak with Solaso.
But now, seeing the two unconscious gunmen at his feet, he felt that he had better run away.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Tom's fingers trembled, and he couldn't get the car keys in a few times.
When the gunman who had just entered walked out of the building with the people, he was startled, and his panicked brain regained his composure, smoothly inserted the car keys, and started the car to speed away along the road.
Seeing this, the man in the black trench coat who had just walked out of the building changed drastically, and hurriedly pulled out his gun and shot.
But Tom had already stepped on the accelerator to the ground, and the car sped away, and only one of the six bullets fired from the left wheel landed on the back cover of the car, and the remaining five missed.
"Damn! Damn it! β
The man in the black trench coat cursed continuously, turned his head and ordered the two men who followed him to drive after him, while he walked over to the two unconscious gunmen and crouched down.
"Smack-smack-"
Two slaps were mercilessly thrown in the face of one of them, and the crisp sound echoed in front of the dimly lit building, and the redness and swelling on the man's face were indescribably funny.
When the gunman woke up, the man in the black trench coat roared through gritted teeth.
"Damn, who did it to you? What about Ronnie? β
"Ronnie ......"
The familiar name awakened his jumbled mind.
The gunman's face grew frightened, and he grabbed the hand of the man in the black trench coat and shouted, "Ghost! It's a ghost! I see it! It's a demon crawling out of hell, a ghost roaming the world! β
"Smack-"
The man in the black trench coat was another slap in the face, waking up the collapsed gunman.
"Speak to me!"
"I'm talking well!"
The gunman covered his face with some grievances and shouted, "It's the ghost, he was the one who knocked us down, and Ronnie, yes!" Ronnie! He also saw it, and if you don't believe it, you ask him! See if I'm right! β
The man in the black trench coat was a little impatient: "Ronnie is no longer here!" β
"What? Is Ronnie dead? The gunman's eyes widened, and the more he spoke, the more agitated he became, "It must be the ghost who took Ronnie!" Yes, that's him! β
"What is dead, I mean Ronnie is missing...... Never mind! β
The man in the black trench coat turned black, raised his hand and smashed him with the handle of the gun to knock him out again.
Then the man in the black trench coat woke up another person, but unfortunately this person knew less than the previous one, he was the first to be knocked unconscious, and he couldn't even see the shadow of the other party.
"What? Someone knocked our people unconscious and told Tom Hagen to drive away?! β
When Solaso received the news, his face was full of anger, and he automatically ignored the word ghost mentioned by his subordinates, only thinking that this person was trying to escape the crime of dereliction of duty, full of nonsense, pretending to be crazy and stupid.
"Go after it! That car didn't fill up with gas and couldn't go far! β
Solaso roared angrily, "Gather all the men in the vicinity and go together!" β
"If we're going to go to war with House Corleone, we can't let Tom Hagen go back! This guy is the military advisor and think tank of the Corleone family, and with him, the Corleone family will inevitably be even more difficult. β
After saying this, Solaso turned his head to look at the person beside him: "You! Go and inform the Tartaglia family and bring them exactly what I just said. β
"Yes!"
After arranging the order, Solaso pulled out a gun, angrily rushed out of the building with the people, and sped away in the five black cars that were placed on the street at the entrance.
After everyone had left the humble hiding place, Yi Shu cautiously poked his head from the roof, turned around and dragged the gunman's body and jumped off the roof.
