Chapter 109: There is no way back
With Anxia Sect, Immortal Sect, Liuli Sect, and Xingsheng Sect as the core, the Anxia League has recently expanded its sphere of influence, and already has seven three-star sects, and the number of one- and two-star sects has reached twenty or thirty.
The combined strength of the extraordinary combat force is more than eight hundred.
Although realistically speaking, the Anxia Alliance is only a loose alliance at present, and even the ship of interests composed of several core sects will fall apart immediately after Su An's life and death.
But at least while Su An was still alive, these people could be united by his orders.
Therefore, he was able to mobilize such a huge force tonight and destroy the two hundred or so Zhengyang Sect transcendents brought by Liu Siyan without much effort.
Looking at the messy, bloody battlefield, Zhang Zhenlin's face was pale, and he didn't notice that the cigar in his hand burned to the end.
The battle of Anxia League has ended, and the soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield, but Zhang Zhenlin knows that his challenge has just begun.
This time, Su An gave him a challenge, and the difficulty coefficient was too high.
So high that Zhang Zhenlin didn't want to walk into the gate of the Anxia Sect base.
"Do you know what you just did? You're fighting a five-star sect head-on! β
Zhang Zhenlin threw away his cigar and stepped on it fiercely, turned his head to Su Andao, who was standing aside with a calm face, "Zhengyang Sect is not an ordinary five-star sect, it has a history of a hundred years, the tree has deep roots, and behind it is the big man of the provincial council who is supporting him!"
"Even if it's me, I have to be cautious and thoughtful in the face of such a force, how dare you do it directly?"
Su An didn't pick up, and there was no change in his demeanor, he stood there as usual, watching his men busy on the battlefield, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Zhenlin's words.
Zhang Zhenlin took out another cigar, and before he lit it, he couldn't help but speak again: "You obviously have a better way to deal with it, why do you choose to be reckless and reckless?"
"Since you have captured Liu Siyan, you can use her to blackmail Zhengyang Sect, even if you can't make the other party give up the plan to enter the supermarket fresh market, you can get enough compensation!
"I know you've been wronged, so just ask for a little more money, why do you want to be like this?
"What's more important than making money?
"Zhengyang Sect did it to you without authorization, destroying the overall business situation, with such a bargaining chip, I can completely stand up for you, force Zhengyang Sect to take a smaller share in the next business, and let Anxia League dominate the grassroots world in Dongping District!
"But you've missed a great opportunity, and it's too late to say anything!"
He lit a cigar, took a hard puff, and spat out a cloud of smoke from the boss, hating that iron is not steel:
"I thought you were both wise and brave, but I didn't expect you to be a reckless man at the root, and I have great expectations for you, which is really annoying to me!"
Su An still didn't talk, standing there without arrogance, without even making a superfluous move, as if Zhang Zhenlin said that everything had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Zhenlin waited for a long time and didn't see him speak, and said angrily: "Why don't you speak?" β
Su An's voice was flat: "I'm waiting for Uncle Zhang to finish speaking." β
"You ......"
Zhang Zhenlin was choked and wanted to kick Su An, but he couldn't hold back after all, and said in a rough voice:
"This is a great opportunity for the development and progress of the Anxia Sect, just because of your improper operation, in order to get away with it for a while, it has caused the extraordinary opportunity to turn into a huge trouble!
"You stinky boy, you still haven't realized your mistake?"
Su An still didn't answer.
But his demeanor showed that he really didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.
Zhang Zhenlin was so angry that he smoked and didn't want to talk anymore for a while.
After a while, Zhang Zhenlin couldn't hold it back, waved his arms and said, "Okay, I'm done talking, you can tell me your truth!" β
Su An took out a cigarette without hurry, nodded indifferently, and said slowly: "When Wang Zhe found me, I really thought that this was a great opportunity;
"When Zhengyang Sect called to invite me to meet, I also thought that this might be pie in the sky.
"The Anxia Sect has been developing rapidly since its establishment, and after the establishment of the Anxia League, it has been a smooth journey, and in just a few months, I already have many careers that the sect master has struggled for ten years that is difficult to achieve.
"If things continue to go well this time, and Anxia League becomes a real hero in Dongping District, I will definitely wake up with a smile from my dreams.
"Who wouldn't want to move them all home in the face of mountains of gold and silver? Seeing that the fat duck has been cooked, who can resist eating it in one bite? In life, who doesn't want everything to go well?
"But life is like a reverse journey, how can the road be smooth?
"What you think is a great opportunity, in fact, from the beginning, it was someone else who dug a trap waiting for you to jump into; You think it will be smooth sailing, but how did you expect the wind and waves to come, and before you can react, Great Xia is already in danger of falling.
"I'm a little more proud, a little more inflated, I want more, and I've been killed in a bar tonight, either poisoned on the spot or blown into pate.
"I'm still alive because I'm still cautious enough in the face of a big enough temptation."
Zhang Zhenlin admitted that what Su An said made some sense, but he didn't mention it, but he actually admired Su An in his heart for not being blinded by interests and being able to see through Liu Siyan's calculations at a critical moment.
But right now, he still snorted coldly with his nostrils facing the sky: "Are you cautious? Are you cautious and still have to break the net with the Zhengyang Sect? β
Su An turned his head to look at Zhang Zhenlin, and asked with a torch in his eyes: "Does Uncle Zhang really think that I have other choices?" β
Facing Su An's sharp and deep eyes, this time it was Zhang Zhenlin's turn not to speak.
Although he didn't speak, his face was full of unconvinced, as if every beard was retorting: Why didn't he have a choice?
Su An lowered his voice: "Take Liu Siyan as a hostage, negotiate with the Zhengyang Sect, in exchange for benefits and development opportunities, endure the humiliation in front of you first, and then take revenge in the future?"
"Is this possible?
"Anyone with a discerning eye can think of my plan, if Uncle Zhang is Liu Xiong, will he risk letting the tiger return to the mountain and raising the tiger for trouble, so that I can achieve my expectations?
"Uncle Zhang, don't forget, when I didn't do anything, Liu Xiong had already set up a killing game for me with Liu Siyan!
"If he kills me once, he will kill me a second time. Because I was able to escape the first kill, it means that I am not easy to match, Liu Xiong is in his right mind, and he will get rid of the threat at any cost before it grows strong enough to cause him a fatal danger!
"Don't think that Liu Xiong will really have scruples and timidity, if he can bear the price of killing me once, he will definitely be able to bear to kill me twice!
"And me?
"I was able to break Liu Siyan's killing situation this time, and it was not because I was smart that I was clever, but because the strength of the Zhengyang Sect was not strong enough!
"The next time Liu Xiong dispatches a group of seventh, eighth, or even ninth-level masters to attack and kill me, even if I stay at the base and don't come out, it is impossible to be safe!"
Zhang Zhenlin was dumbfounded and speechless.
Su An's analysis penetrated into it, making him feel like he was listening to the morning bell and dusk drums, and he felt empowered.
Zhang Zhenlin was silent for a moment, thinking about it and still unwilling: "I can send someone to protect you, the Zhang family still has some strength, and I can also mobilize some masters of the Demon Subduing Division......"
Su An smiled: "There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?"
"Now that the demons are everywhere, the Demon Subduing Division is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and the Zhang family is facing the Huang family with a needle, how can I send a large number of masters to sit beside me for a long time?"
Zhang Zhenlin fell silent again.
Suan is telling the truth.
Throwing away the cigar in his hand, Zhang Zhenlin said unrelentingly:
"Maybe Wang Zhe can provide some help, the business is a partnership between everyone, and he doesn't want to be delayed to make money, right? With him coming forward to exert pressure, can't he let the Zhengyang Sect converge and converge? β
Su An didn't really want to answer this question.
Because there is no need to answer at all.
If Wang Zhe really had that kind of deterrent, there would be no such thing as Liu Siyan attacking him tonight.
"The political secretary and the provincial council are both behemoths, and they won't really fall out because of a small person like me, so even if I die, with Wang Zhe's status as the big man in the council, their cooperation will definitely continue."
Su An said, "I have only known Wang Zhe for a long time, and now we can come together just because we are valuable to each other and can bring benefits to each other." He's going to defend me, but it's definitely limited, and beyond a certain range, it's more than worth the loss for him.
"In front of interests, beloved relatives and friends may not be reliable, let alone this friendship between the two of us?
"The Zhengyang Sect has a great cause, as long as you can come up with enough compensation after killing me, what reason does Wang Zhe have to really turn his face with the big man in the provincial council, and let go of the good money Cheng of the two cooperation?"
In Su An's opinion, Liu Xiong recognized these things, so he agreed to Liu Siyan to do it to him.
For Liu Xiong, whether it is Su An or the price of killing Su An, it is not as important as letting his daughter get rid of her demons and become a talent.
After all, what is a little money for the Zhengyang Sect?
After listening to Su An's words, Zhang Zhenlin was completely angry, and he no longer blamed Su An for ambushing and killing the transcendent of the Zhengyang Sect, on the contrary, he was convinced by Su An's sobriety.
With a sigh, Zhang Zhenlin said with an ugly face: "There is really no way to do it except to fight head-on?" The benefits of this business are so great, is it really irretrievable?
"You have a flexible brain and are good at taking advantage of the situation, so you can't think of a foolproof plan to ease the relationship with the Zhengyang Sect and let this business continue?
"Can't keep your head down?"
Su An could hear that Zhang Zhenlin was a money addict by nature, and he couldn't just give up that good money career decisively.
Youyou spit out a round smoke ring, Su An stepped on the cigarette butt, and looked directly at Zhang Zhenlin with his eyebrows and eyes: "Uncle Zhang, don't blame me for not reminding you, the thought of luck is a lifetime, and the disaster of defeat is imminent!"
"The weak always think that if you bow your head and submit to softness, you can eliminate the anger of the strong, and you can open the sky by taking a step back, but when the weak retreat, the strong will only think about moving forward immediately, and you have to press forward step by step!
"Interests have to be contested, opponents have to be trampled to death, in exchange for me to be strong, I have no reason to be soft-hearted.
"In the face of a strong man like Zhengyang Sect, if An Xia Meng, who is a weak man, wants to protect his own interests, he must not retreat a step, he can only fight for every inch of land, and there is no other way than to make the opponent pay the price of blood for every step!
"When you are afraid, cowardly, and have illusions, defeat will come.
"If defeat is inevitable, then die standing; If there is still a glimmer of life, then go all out to fight to the end!
"Before the mountains and rivers are exhausted, who can be sure that the strong will retreat in fear first, or the weak will be crushed first?"
Looking at Su An, who had murderous eyes and a sharp body, Zhang Zhenlin was in a trance for a moment, as if there were some memories surging in his mind, and he said in a daze:
"You just said that you are very cautious, why are you going to block everything in a blink of an eye?"
Su An said loudly: "You can't beat the country by prudence alone."
"How is blind prudence different from cowardice?"
Listening to this word-for-word answer, looking at Su An's breathtaking eyebrows, Zhang Zhenlin's thoughts have drifted uncontrollably to the distance of time and the depths of memory.
He said almost subconsciously:
"In this way, this time the business will really fail, not to mention the gold and silver mountains have come to naught, and the Anxia League will have to pay a huge price, and it will inevitably lose its original savings in the battle."
Su An was murderous: "The weak rise against the trend, the bottom is top, and the future is long and difficult."
"If you don't have the will to overcome setbacks, the courage to face failure, and the determination to endure pain, how can you face difficulties and talk about great things?"
......
If you can't do business, and you still want money, grain, territory, and battle results, you can only go to the battlefield to get it, just like the last time you captured Mingcheng Sect, Donghai Sect and other sects.
Moreover, although Su An wants to wrestle with Zhengyangzong and compete head-to-head, this does not mean that the business of the supermarket fresh market in Dongping District will definitely not be able to do it.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Zhenlin finally came back to his senses.
He looked at Su An clearly:
"In this way, this battle is inevitable, you can take the lead and use Liu Siyan to destroy the opponent's 200 soldiers, which is undoubtedly the opening cannon and a certain advantage for your own side.
"But this result is far from enough, have you figured out how to deal with the Zhengyang Sect?"
Su An said as a matter of course: "Isn't Uncle Zhang from the Demon Suppression Division, this time the situation is no different from the past, just act according to the convention." β
Zhang Zhenlin was stunned, as if he had heard a big joke: "Do you think the Zhengyang Sect can be slandered?" Those small sects are just that, and it is not difficult to be charged with colluding with the demon clan.
"Even in the face of the Yellow Sea, we can use such an excuse to restrain him and reach a balance with him, so that he can't send a patrol to fight.
"But the Zhengyang Sect is a hundred-year-old sect, and the credibility is there, and the dirty water can't be splashed!
"What's more, behind them is the bigwig of the provincial council, how can I frame it?"
Previously, when Su An stated the difficulty of the Zhengyang Sect, he had already made Liu Xiong's unscrupulousness very clear, Zhang Zhenlin thought that Su An had other ways, but he expected that the other party would make such a naΓ―ve suggestion.
It's a contradiction, it's just a mess, there's no chance of success, and there's no need to even try.
No, not even such an idea should pop up!
Su An was very calm, and he was so calm that he was confident: "Who said that they were going to be framed?" What if it's a fact that they collude with the demon clan? β
Zhang Zhenlin was dumbfounded.
Su An turned his head to look at Li Anxin behind him.
Li An'an looked dazed, and his heart beat faster.
Just when the atmosphere in the field was about to freeze, Zhang Zhenlin's mobile phone rang.
After taking the phone, after listening to two sentences, Zhang Zhenlin's face became extremely exciting.
