Chapter 113: Alliance
Under the leadership of Zhao Huan, he walked through the deep corridor, tossed and turned several courtyards, and finally arrived at the study in the backyard;
The first thing that catches your eye is the huge plaque hanging on the door, which reads three gilded characters 'Bi Luoju', and only this plaque in the whole study room can be called luxurious, and the rest of the exterior decoration is mediocre and elegant, quite a bit of 'Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin' taste.
Seeing this study, Shen Mo couldn't help but improve his evaluation of Shen Batian a few points in his heart, this Shen Batian, as a big man second only to the King of Jin Yuan, didn't care about material life, this alone, few people can achieve it, but it can also be seen that Shen Batian's success is also his reason.
Zhao Huan knocked on the door three times, and a calm and steady voice sounded inside: "Come in." β
The door was divided left and right, and Zhao Huan did not enter, but stood by the door and made a gesture of invitation to Shen Mo.
Although Shen Mo said that he was very jealous of Shen Batian in his heart, but now there was no room to turn back, so he walked in; at the moment of entering the study, a faint smell of ink rushed to his face, fragrant and refreshing, which made people feel refreshed; the interior of the study room was no different from the outside, and it was also simple to dress, in comparison, there were many books of all kinds; I glanced at it at random, and found that most of them were military books, and it seemed that Shen Batian's ambition was really the world.
Just as Shen Mo was looking at the furnishings in the room, a voice sounded: "Hehe, you must be the world-famous silence recently, right?"
He was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, but saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk on the right hand, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a kind and kind face, at first glance he seemed to be an amiable middle-aged uncle, especially when he came into contact with his very friendly smile, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
However, this illusion is fleeting, because this person is Shen Batian, and he must not be deceived by the illusion in front of him; Shen Mo felt like a great enemy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended not to be alarmed, and hurriedly gave Shen Batian a salute, and said humbly and politely: "Junior Shen Mo, I have seen Patriarch Shen." β
Shen Batian gently put down the half-read military book in his hand and waved his hand: "No need to be polite." After that, he casually pointed to a chair opposite the desk, and said: "Although the old man is a little old, his heart is still young, so we don't need to worry about some red tape, sit down and talk." β
"The juniors don't dare. He said in a humble tone.
Shen Batian smiled indifferently: "Why don't you dare? Don't say that you are afraid of me, because the old man can see that you have no fear; if you change to someone else, the first time you see the old man, you will be so frightened that you will be silent, and you will only promise; but you are polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant, it is enough to see that the old man's prestige has not suppressed you; since you are not afraid of the old man, why don't you dare to sit down and talk?"
Hearing this, Shen Mo was shocked in his heart, and secretly sighed that this Shen Batian was really powerful, and he saw through his mind with just a few words, and he was even more vigilant for a while.
Now that the words have been said and said, Shen Mo is no longer hypocritical, and sits directly on the chair, but he is sitting in a dangerous position; looking at the man in front of him, a trace of indescribable feeling rose in Shen Mo's heart, it is clear that he is his father's killer, and he is close at hand, but he can't act excessively, this feeling of powerlessness makes Shen Mo a little annoyed.
But in order to focus on the overall situation, Shen Mo had no choice but to bury the frustration in his heart, pretending to be the first time he met Shen Batian, and said respectfully: "I don't know what happened to Patriarch Shen calling the juniors to come today?"
Shen Batian didn't answer, but looked at Shen Mo carefully with a pair of shrewd eyes, this kind of naked eyes stared at Shen Mo's heart, and after a while, Shen Batian chuckled lightly and sighed: "It's a pity that such a young talent is not from my Shen family, but you are also surnamed Shen, but it is also a kind of fate." β
Hearing this, Shen Mo hurriedly thanked: "Patriarch Shen has won the award." β
Shen Batian waved his hand: "Where, it's clear that you are too humble." At a young age, he was extremely powerful, first killed the Blood Demon in Blackwater Village, then wiped out the Crusader Mercenary Group, and just yesterday defeated Li Yaohua with a single move, this outstanding achievement alone is enough for you to be famous all over the world. β
Shen Mo arched his hand and said: "The younger generation is also lucky for a while, if you do it again, I'm afraid you will definitely die." β
Shen Batian nodded: "You are indeed lucky, the strength of the blood demon has reached the True Dao Realm, and he is the king of the blood clan, and he is the true True Dao Realm powerhouse facing him directly, so he may not be able to win;
Could it be that Shen Batian is referring to Bai Huanyu? Shen Mo was secretly surprised in his heart, this Shen Batian was really terrifying, and he could see the heavenly opportunity without moving.
Speaking of this, Shen Batian's words changed sharply: "However, luck is also part of strength; The old man summoned you tonight, but there was nothing important, one was to see you with his own eyes, and today he would see that his name was truly true, and the other was to form an alliance with you and share the glory. β
"Alliance?" Shen was stunned for a moment, he definitely didn't expect Shen Batian to say such a thing.
Shen Batian smiled indifferently: "Yes, it is an alliance; you may ask what is the matter, but the old man is not afraid to tell you; although the Black Dragon Mercenary Group is nominally the power of Lin Xuanqing and Zhao Ye, as long as you say a word, the two of them will naturally go to the soup and fight the fire; and now that the reputation of the Black Dragon Mercenary Group is getting louder and louder, sooner or later it will become a first-class mercenary group, and it is expected that it will be a great strength in the future." β
After all, with Shen Batian's strength, it was even enough to compete with the King of Jin Yuan, no matter how strong the mere mercenary group was, how could it be in his eyes? It was not so much an alliance as it was absorption. Moreover, Shen Mo felt that things were far from being so simple, after all, the person in front of him was Shen Batian.
Shen Mo pondered for a moment in his heart, and said: "Thanks to Patriarch Shen's love, it's just that this Black Dragon Mercenary Group has nothing to do with me, and secondly, the mercenary group is in its infancy, and its strength is weak, how can it shamelessly form an alliance with Patriarch Shen? β
Shen Batian helped Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "Shen Mo, you are really clever and eloquent in your later life, even the old man admires it very much, since you are not interested, the old man is not difficult for you." It's just that the old man has always had a doubt, I don't know if I can give me some advice?"
Hearing this, Shen Mo pretended to be flattered, and hurriedly said: "Patriarch Shen is talking about this, you are the elder, and you are the younger generation, if you have any doubts, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the younger generation must know everything and say everything." β
Shen Batian laughed again, laughed, and said with a relaxed face: "But it's not a big deal, it's just a little doubt; as far as the old man knows, the dragon and tiger flurry is a top-grade martial art at the ground level, and it is not a martial art in the world, and mortals can't cultivate it at all;
Shen Mo categorically didn't expect Shen Batian to be interested in the Dragon and Tiger Flurry, but after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved, this Dragon and Tiger Flurry was obtained from President Bai in the altar, and Shen Batian mentioned this question, I am afraid that there was a sound outside the strings, firstly, to ask himself why he was able to learn the Dragon and Tiger Flurry, and secondly, to ask himself how he found the altar of the demon clan.
Neither of these two questions can be told the truth, after thinking silently for a while, he said: "It turns out that Patriarch Shen cares about this matter, but the younger generation is not afraid to tell him directly; β
Shen Batian seemed to have known that Shen Mo would not cooperate obediently, so he didn't care, and then asked, "Then where did you get this dragon and tiger flurry?"
"Don't hide it from Patriarch Shen, the younger generation got it from a tomb robber. β
"Tomb robbers?"
"Yes, a few years ago, the younger generation met a tomb robber, at first I didn't know, but when I saw that the person was flustered, the thief eyebrows and rat eyes, I felt that he must not be a good person, so he stepped forward to ask, the man wanted to run, and the two of us fought together, and finally the tomb robber was defeated, leaving many rare treasures, including this dragon and tiger dancing. β
Shen Mo's words were colorful, and there was a lot of trouble, but Shen Batian instantly heard that Shen Mo was talking nonsense, thinking about it made people laugh, but there was no way to refute it, and he shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "But I never thought that Shen Xiaogongzi still had such an adventure." As he spoke, Shen Batian's eyes moved to the spatial ring that Shen Mo wore on his finger.
Shen Batian had already seen Shen Mo's spatial ring, and from his strange eyes, he could tell that he had recognized this ring as owned by President Bai, but he didn't break it, but there were words in his words, but there was a strong threat in his flat tone: "Hey, seeing you, I can't help but think of an old man." β
"Oh?" Shen Mo knew that Shen Batian was talking about President Bai, but he pretended to be confused.
The more he saw Shen Mo's appearance, the more Shen Batian wanted to laugh, and secretly said that this Shen Mo was really sleek, if the younger generation of this family had half of Shen Mo's shrewdness, why should he worry about his successor?
Shen Batian continued: "My old man's surname is Bai, and it is a coincidence that he is the current president of the Golden Lion Mercenary Union, Bai Huanyu's father, and he has some relationship with you. Back then, the old man and President Bai were also friends in trouble, and they treated each other with all sincerity, but they didn't conspire with each other because of different ways, and finally parted ways; β
No matter how stupid Shen Mo is, he can still hear the deep meaning of Shen Batian's words; President Bai is different from him, and he dies as a result, which is undoubtedly a warning to Shen Mo that going against Shen Batian will never end well.
Shen Mo's eyes rolled and he said: "Patriarch Shen, the younger generation is a small person, and he can't shoulder too much responsibility on his shoulders, so he can be stable in the world in this life, and he doesn't want to experience strong winds." β
Hearing this, Shen Batian smiled: "Born in Tao Lang, you have to hide when the wind rises, and you have to take advantage of the wind to break Lang, otherwise you will be buried at the bottom of the sea; β
"Then according to Patriarch Shen's opinion, what should the juniors do?" Shen Mo felt the strong threat revealed in Shen Batian's words, so he pretended to compromise and humbly asked for advice.
Shen Batian didn't sell it, he took out a yellow paper bag and put it on the bookcase, the surface was calm, but in fact, he suddenly said: "If the old man guessed correctly, when Zhao Huan went to look for you, there must be someone who wants to see you;
"Poisoned?" was silently stunned, he didn't expect this Shen Batian to leave such a sparing move, and he actually wanted to poison the palace!
Compared with the silent shock, Shen Batian seemed very calm, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, this is not a poison that kills people, but just a medicine that can temporarily inhibit the mobilization of spiritual energy in people's bodies; if you take the medicine, you will definitely be able to avoid a bloody storm and save the lives of countless people, in fact, the merit is immeasurable; if you don't, then countless innocent people will be buried here; maybe they were not killed by you, but if you don't kill Beren, Beren will die because of you." β
Shen Mo can be heard that this Shen Batian is ready, and a coup d'Γ©tat will be launched in the near future; once this medicine is placed, the entire Royal Praetorian Guard will lose its resistance, and there may not be bloodshed, but Shen Batian can win without a fight and pocket the entire Jin Yuan Kingdom in one fell swoop; and if Shen Mo refuses to take the medicine, there will inevitably be a bloody battle, and countless people will die in the catastrophe.
Just when he was silent, Shen Batian took another dose of fierce medicine, but his plain tone stole a strong murderous intention, which made Shen Mo shudder: "Listen to Lu Ming's child, there are a few confidantes around you, all of whom are beautiful women in the city?" Hey, as the saying goes, since ancient times, you must protect them, and definitely don't let them have the slightest mistake, otherwise it will be a pity." β
Threat, naked threat, and also to threaten the most important person in Shen Mo, the anger that had been suppressed erupted at this moment, and the raging anger gathered in his chest, but Shen Mo smiled calmly: "What Patriarch Shen said is extremely true, and the juniors must keep it in mind." β
"Then are you going to take this medicine or not?"
"No, no!"
