Chapter Forty-Six: The Man Who Most Wants the Black Wolf to Die
Liu Mingfu is a small businessman who is active in the Changle Trendy Channel.
As a man of about forty years old, Liu Mingfu has a total of two flying ships and dozens of people under his command. Every year, Liu Mingfu will go back and forth to the Changle trend, taking his brothers from several families to earn some hard-earned money. After more than ten years, he has also accumulated a net worth of 200,000 gold coins.
This is a representative of the owners of flying ships on the windy waterway.
200,000 gold coins is definitely a lot of money that an ordinary family can't earn in a lifetime. But in all fairness, with the booming business of Changle Fashion, it has been busy for more than ten years, and there are two ships, so it is definitely not a lot to save so much money. The reason is very simple, that is, Liu Mingfu has been robbed by the Storm Pirates, and more than once!
If there were no bandits, it would be possible for Liu Mingfu's net worth to double and double.
Because of this, Liu Mingfu hated the bandits who were active in the Changle Tide Channel. Especially the black wolf bandits, not only robbed them of a whole shipload of goods, but also killed seven or eight of his subordinates, including Liu Mingfu's brother. If it weren't for the fact that other flying ships happened to come to help, I'm afraid Liu Mingfu wouldn't have survived himself. Liu Mingfu has always kept this big feud in his heart, and he has never forgotten it in the past few years.
However, people have come and gone without a trace, and their strength is not weak, and Liu Mingfu has nothing to do with them.
"If only I could tell where the black wolf is......"
More than once, Liu Mingfu once clenched his fists like this after running a business or indulged in drunkenness, talking to himself full of hatred. But today, after he had a glass of ale, a man in black with a cloak stood in front of him: "Ten thousand gold coins, sell the whereabouts of the black wolf!"
"Ten thousand gold coins?"
Liu Mingfu, who was half drunk, didn't react for a while, and said in a daze with the smell of wine: "So much? What are you playing...... What are you talking about? Do you know the whereabouts of the black wolf?" His wine immediately woke up, and because of his excitement, he stood up suddenly, and even grabbed Lu Chengfeng's clothes with both hands, and asked hurriedly: "Do you really know the whereabouts of the black wolf?"
This man in black is none other than Lu Chengfeng.
Seeing Liu Mingfu's excitement in front of him, Lu Chengfeng knew that this matter was right. He smiled, calmly pulled Liu Mingfu's hand away, and said slowly: "It's that black wolf, the one who once robbed your ship and killed your brother." ”
Hearing Lu Chengfeng mention his situation, Liu Mingfu's eagerness for revenge was temporarily suppressed, and he was a little more vigilant: "Have you investigated me? Who are you?" Liu Mingfu has traveled south and north, and has been mixed in the wind and rain for more than 20 years, and he is not a stupid person. Lu Chengfeng obviously came with some kind of purpose, he was a little worried that the other party had bad intentions and wanted to calculate what he wanted.
"It doesn't matter who I am. ”
Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "I am also enemies with the black wolf, but it is a little difficult to kill him. It just so happened that I recently learned the whereabouts of the black wolf, but I was a little short on money, so I was ready to sell the news. Do you see what I mean?"
That's a reasonable argument.
Liu Mingfu believed it in his heart, but he couldn't decide for a while: "How do I know that what you said is true? If any random person comes and talks nonsense, won't I lose a lot?"
Lu Chengfeng knew his concerns, and said: "You also know the cunning of the black wolf, and it is impossible to leave me any credentials." All I can say is that you can choose not to believe it, but if you miss your chance for revenge, don't regret it later. ”
"This ......"
Seeing that Liu Mingfu was already tempted, Lu Chengfeng knew that it was necessary to push him, so he said: "I can tell you that the black wolf is currently in Kaiyang City, and it is very likely that he will be alone." Even if you bring your subordinates, there are definitely not many. If you remember the hatred, it's best not to miss this opportunity, I can't guarantee how long the black wolf will stay in Kaiyang. ”
"The black wolf is in Kaiyang?"
This news immediately crushed Liu Mingfu's last line of hesitation. If what the man in black said in front of him was true, then his great enmity was really hopeful. Even if it's fake, it's nothing more than 10,000 gold coins. As long as there is hope of killing the black wolf, Liu Mingfu will definitely not spare this money.
He immediately agreed to the deal.
Seeing that the 10,000 gold coins were about to arrive, and he had made a big trouble for the black wolf again, Lu Chengfeng smiled: "This is a wise decision, you will definitely not regret it,"
It's just that although Liu Mingfu agreed to the deal, it doesn't mean that he completely believes in Lu Chengfeng. After he took out the crystal card, he was not in a hurry to row Lu Chengfeng, but asked first: "Who else did Your Excellency tell you about this news?"
This guy has a sharp mind!
Lu Chengfeng secretly praised, but he didn't hide it, and said directly: "If I could, I would love to sell this news to every enemy of the black wolf." However, due to the tight schedule, I did a hasty investigation and only found three suitable buyers - currently in Kaiyang, and have enough ability to take revenge. The one that has been negotiated is the same as you, and they are all merchants on the channel of the Changle Tide. ”
Liu Mingfu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this news true?"
Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I can guarantee that it is true, because there is no need to lie to you on this issue." If you want to say that the person who wants the black wolf to die the most, I am definitely the one who wants the death of the black wolf. ”
"Okay. ”
Liu Mingfu finally called the money, but made a request: "This news, you can't sell it to anyone else." ”
This request is obviously a little selfish.
After all, it is impossible for people to maintain absolute secrecy, and the more people who know the whereabouts of the black wolf, the greater the risk of leakage. If someone tells the black wolf the news, then Liu Mingfu's revenge will be in vain. Moreover, everyone knows that the black wolf has been a trendy bandit for so many years, and he must have a lot of good things on him. Now that there is a possibility of competing with him, it is already a headache, and Liu Mingfu does not want to add more potential opponents to himself.
Liu Mingfu's request made Lu Chengfeng groan.
Theoretically, of course, the more people who go to crusade against the black wolf, the more sure they are, but in fact this is not the case. After all, the black wolf is a fifth-order master, and if he can't do it well, he can drag a person into the water. The truth that the three monks have no water to eat, Lu Chengfeng still understands it, not to mention that he still has a huge amount of wealth. Moreover, since Liu Mingfu and the others are going, they will definitely bring enough people.
If you really can't do it, you can go up and make up for the last cut!
Thinking like this, Lu Chengfeng finally agreed to Liu Mingfu's request, but asked him to pay an additional 10,000 gold, which was to make up for the loss of selling one less piece of news.
Liu Mingfu was a bit of a big dealer, so he suppressed the idea of bargaining with Lu Chengfeng, and happily paid 10,000 gold coins again: "Now, you can tell me where the black wolf is, right?"
When the money was in hand, Lu Chengfeng naturally wouldn't hide it, and told the black wolf's hiding in the eastern part of the city, and also introduced the martial arts that the black wolf had shown yesterday. Liu Mingfu, who was also proficient in leg techniques and knew some swordsmanship, couldn't help but be taken aback when he learned that the black wolf was also proficient in leg techniques, of course he knew the weight of this news.
"Well, good luck, I hope to wake up tomorrow to hear the news of the black wolf's death!"
Lu Chengfeng saluted him, and then quietly said goodbye. His layout has been completed, and now it depends on whether the black wolf has the ability to take over.
.........
Night soon fell again.
Since it is still the first moon, the night is a little brighter than yesterday, but the visibility is still not high. However, the occasional cool breeze made Lu Chengfeng, who had slept early, and now he was ready for everything, refreshed. He finally ate some supper, then changed into black clothes and infiltrated the eastern part of the city.
If nothing else, Liu Mingfu and the other businessman will lead the team to kill here tonight and help them solve the trouble of the black wolf.
Who will win on either side?
In terms of strength alone, Lu Chengfeng obviously believes in Liu Mingfu and them. Since these two groups of people have arrived, it is estimated that each side will bring at least two fifth-order masters to suppress the formation. Even if they are a little jealous of each other, the purpose of killing the black wolf is the same. In the case of four to one, no matter how you look at it, the black wolf doesn't look like it can turn over.
However, after personally fighting the black wolf, Lu Chengfeng vaguely felt that the black wolf might not be so easy to deal with!
One is a rational number comparison, and the other is a vague intuition, Lu Chengfeng, who was ambushed outside the black wolf's hideout, felt that there was a good show to watch tonight.
Liu Mingfu obviously hated the black wolf, for fear that he would leave one step later, so at ten o'clock in the night, when it was quiet outside, he hurriedly came with someone. Although these people all restrained their breath, and they were separated by a distance, and they couldn't see through their strength, Lu Chengfeng deduced from the number of people and standing positions that it was possible that there were two fifth-order swordsmen and three fourth-order swordsmen.
The two fifth-order who walked in front were estimated to be used to deal with the black wolf, and the other three fourth-order were used to prevent and protect themselves.
Seeing such a group of six people, Lu Chengfeng nodded secretly.
No matter how strong the black wolf's strength was, it would never be possible to curry favor with the combination of two fifth-order and three fourth-order. The key is whether the black wolf can be surrounded at the first time, so that he cannot escape.
At this point, Lu Chengfeng is still a little skeptical.
Fortunately, when another group of people arrived an hour later, Lu Chengfeng no longer had any questions. The leader of this group of people is a shipowner who owns three floating boats, and his power is even greater than Liu Mingfu. He only brought three people, but each of them was a fifth-order!
Five fifth-order masters!
Even if it is Lu Chengfeng himself, it is impossible to defeat five with one enemy at this stage. If it is a specific environment, it is possible for the other party to come up one by one. But right now, there are five people besieging one, not to mention a fifth-order black wolf, even if the sixth-order master is not in person, he will be killed.
