Chapter 124: Tianyan Tower
"That's right, with the current strength of the Floating Cloud Sect, even if the quicksand gate comes over, it won't be pleased. Du Fuchong said, "It's just that the old slave is still a little worried, will the Floating Cloud Sect's move this time expose its strength and attract the attention of the Quicksand Sect and even the Seven Star Sect?"
The various sects in Dunhuang County probably don't have any impression of the Fuyun Sect now, at most, they think that the change of the Jianghu sect is nothing.
After all, the Chaotian Gang is almost a second-rate sect, and they still don't have much understanding of the true strength of the Chaotian Gang, so it is nothing to have less Chaotian Gang and more Floating Cloud Sect.
But if the Floating Cloud Sect dealt with the Moshang Sect and the Sunset Gang again this time, it would be of a different nature.
The control of the three trade lanes, this will definitely attract the attention of other sects.
"It doesn't matter, exposure is exposed, and sometimes you still need to show your strength, otherwise any dog or cat will come to find trouble. Lin Xiqi smiled.
Du Fuchong smiled, what Lin Xiqi said was right, the main thing is confidence in his own strength, without strength, everything is in vain.
"By the way, I was thinking just now, our sources seem to be too few, and it is not appropriate to rely on passers-by such passers-by as the Sifang Inn at present. Lin Xiqi said again.
Du Fuchong also nodded and said, "That's true, generally speaking, those big forces of the Great Gate Sect have their own intelligence sources and special disciples in charge. ”
"I heard that there is an extremely well-informed force in the rivers and lakes. Lin Xiqi asked.
"Yes. Du Fuchong nodded and said, "'Tianyan Tower', it is said that there is no news that they don't know, as long as they pay the corresponding price, they can help people find out the news they want to know." ”
"Hehe, what a big tone. Lin Xiqi smiled and said, "They really know everything?"
"It is an exaggeration to know everything, but their eyes and ears are all over the world, and if they are willing to find out, there are few secrets in the world that can hide from them. Du Fuchong said, "In fact, most of the various lists in the world are still the news provided by them, such as the list of outstanding rivers and lakes." ”
Lin Xiqi nodded, there are so many beauties on the list of the best in the rivers and lakes, but not everyone has seen it, in the end, who is more beautiful than whom, who has temperament than whom, it is really difficult to judge, and only forces like 'Tianyanlou' can grasp more information and intelligence.
"It seems that this matter also has to be considered, intelligence sources are very important, otherwise they are deaf and blind. Lin Xiqi said.
"But it is not so easy to establish an intelligence channel, at least not in a short period of time. Du Fuchong said.
"Don't care about the rest of the place, at least within the control of the Floating Cloud Sect, we have to be aware of any disturbances, and then slowly infiltrate the surroundings. Lin Xiqi said, "I have to contact Zuo Jian and them." ”
"Young master, the old slave thinks that Zuo Jian is a killer, and he is also proficient in assassination, but if you want to talk about intelligence, I'm afraid you are not proficient in it, right?"
"I understand, but there is no one available at the moment, Zuo Jian is a killer, he should still have some understanding of espionage intelligence, first prepare to train some people, it is better than nothing, and when there is a suitable candidate, there will not be no available people in his hands. Lin Xiqi said.
"In this case, we have to continue to recruit some people. Du Fuchong frowned and said, "Young Master, will this step be too big, I'm afraid our financial resources won't be able to keep up." ”
"So I need two other trade routes. Lin Xiqi said, "This matter is imperative." ”
"The old slave understood. Du Fuchong nodded and said, "Do you need to let the guards in the inn secretly help the Floating Cloud Sect?"
"Not at the moment. Lin Xiqi thought for a while and said, "Our inn should not be mixed with the affairs of the Floating Cloud Sect, even if the senior brother is not strong enough, then I will take action myself." ”
"That's fine. Du Fuchong said.
When Lin Xiqi was planning business, the Moshang faction and the Sunset Gang also met.
Zhong You, the head of the Moshang faction, and the Sunset Gang advocated that Nangu negotiate in a small town restaurant at the junction of the two forces.
"Master Zhong, what do you think of the suggestions of the Wild Wolf Gang and the Black Cliff Gate?" asked Zhang Nangu.
"What they said is not unreasonable, after all, the Fuyun Sect is our sect of Dunhuang County, they are from Jiuquan County, it is not good to cross the border without authorization, otherwise it will be difficult to explain from above. Zhong You said.
Both of them are in their sixties, Zhang Nangu is tall, and Zhong You's figure is thin.
However, Zhong You's strength is above Zhang Nangu.
"That's what I thought, too. Zhang Nangu nodded and said, "It's just that we can't make a move in vain, this is related to the common interests of our four business routes, we give people, and they must pay for it." ”
"Well, we'll continue to talk to them about that, and I'm sure they won't refuse. Zhong You nodded.
"The Wild Wolf Gang and the Black Cliff Gate have made a lot of money over the years, our business is not as good as theirs, take advantage of this time to knock a hard stroke, what do you think of a million taels?" Zhang Nangu slammed his fist on the table and said loudly.
Of the five trade routes, the sunset road in Zhangnangu is actually the worst, mainly because he exploited the caravans in the past too much, and over time, there were fewer and fewer caravans passing through his territory.
Zhong You is better, it can be regarded as the third, the top two are the Wild Wolf Gang and the Black Cliff Gate, especially the Black Cliff Gate, which has been the busiest business road for many years.
"Gang Master Zhang, you are a lion with a big mouth. Zhong You was stunned, then shook his head and said.
"The price is all over the place, and you sit on the ground to pay it back. Zhang Nangu said lightly.
"I think it's almost enough to start talking with 300,000 taels. Zhong You said.
"Master Zhong, your appetite is too small, isn't it?It's only 300,000 taels?" Zhang Nangu said with some dissatisfaction.
"There's no way, speaking of which, the prosperity of Gushan Dao actually has the greatest impact on our two Dao. Zhong You said.
"Damn the Floating Cloud Sect, that Chaotian Gang is really a waste, it wiped out several major forces around it, and in the end, it was picked up by such a Floating Cloud Sect that came out of nowhere. "Zhang Nangu hated the Floating Cloud Sect to the core.
The Floating Cloud Sect has integrated the territory, and originally there were not many caravans, but now it is almost impossible to see the caravans coming and going, if it goes on like this, will he drink the northwest wind next?
You must know that the quicksand gate side still needs to pay a large amount of gold and silver every year, regardless of whether you make business or not, the quicksand gate side is indispensable.
Otherwise, he can't afford the consequences.
"You can't underestimate the Floating Cloud Sect too much. Zhong You said, "Gang Master Zhang, 300,000 taels, I'm afraid it may not be able to be negotiated, and in the end, I am sure that it will be about 200,000 taels." ”
"200,000 taels, only 100,000 taels for our two families, too little. Zhang Nangu said.
"That's it, 200,000 taels is the bottom line, this time we only take 20% from the Moshang faction, and Zhang Gang Master takes 80%, what do you think?" Zhong You said.
Hearing Zhong You's words, Zhang Nangu's eyes lit up and said, "Is what Master Zhong said true?"
"Really. Zhong You nodded.
"Well, since Master Zhong is so righteous, Zhang will no longer shirk. Zhang Nangu laughed and said, "Five days later, regardless of whether the Floating Cloud Sect agrees to our conditions or not, the leader of this gang will personally bring the masters of the gang and unite with the head of Zhong to destroy the Floating Cloud Sect." ”
"Then it's settled. Zhong You said.
The letter they sent to the Floating Cloud Sect was actually a kind of confusion, whether the Floating Cloud Sect agreed or not, they were ready to take action against the Floating Cloud Sect.
