"Dad, are you okay?" asked Liu Yun as he walked over with his butt in his hands.

"It's okay, I'm just in a hurry, just slow down. Xu Pengfei is really willing to do this, he actually burned down his three docks in one fell swoop, you must know how many years it took him to form a scale!" Liu Sanqian said.

"Dad, why are you distressed when he burns down his dock? Several brothels, restaurants and gambling houses in our house have been burned, and I haven't seen you feel so distressed. When people burn their own docks, you are so distressed that you almost faint. Liu Yun asked puzzled.

"You know what a fart, our brothels, restaurants, and gambling houses all have people fighting fires, how much can be burned, it's just a few rooms, how much loss can there be? But these three docks, not to mention the sky, no one is fighting the fire at all, and the eyeliner I arranged to monitor there must be more than lucky, and these three docks will definitely be burned. Do you know how much money these three wharves can collect every day? Not to mention the cargo ships and water transportation from the south to the north. The money paid by the fishermen alone can cover the money of a few of our restaurants, but now it has been burned, and just by rebuilding these three wharves, each wharf will cost at least 100,000 taels of silver. If the dock burns down, it will kill Xu Pengfei, and it will mean nothing to you, my father and son. What I want are his three docks!" Liu Sanqian looked at his son, who didn't learn and didn't know how to drink all day long, and said angrily.

"Owner, don't be too sad, although the dock is burned, at least the territory is ours. Although it costs a lot of money to rebuild, at least it is a profitable deal, besides, as soon as Xu Pengfei leaves, we will have one less opponent in Jinling City, isn't this the result you want?" Sima Tan persuaded.

Xu Pengfei took the opportunity to escape, and the entire 'Thirteen Docks' did not hurt a single hair, and now that he is entrenched in Jiangxin Dazhai, do you dare to rebuild the wharf and start his previous business? Not to mention that you can't receive money from the fishermen, even if you dare to go out on a boat to engage in transportation, it is strange that he does not arrange for his subordinates to scuttle your boat. If you want to really take over Xu Pengfei's business, unless you uproot the entire 'Thirteen Serial Docks', let alone take over his luck, I'm afraid that we are in Jinling City, and we are also restless, and we must live a life in fear. We still miscalculated, we didn't expect this Xu Pengfei to have the courage to break the kettle. Now we have to pin our hopes on the main gate. Liu Sanqian said angrily.

"Yes, what the owner of the village said is that his subordinates thought, Xu Pengfei ran away, Yi Bailian must have also run away, none of the disciples we sent to monitor came back to report the news, and it is estimated that they were all poisoned. The matter has come to this, the owner must not be angry again, at least we have a harvest, and it is not small. Sima Tan said.

"Master Sima, we have suffered a lot of losses tonight, where did we get our harvest!" asked Liu Yun.

"Young master, what do you think, Yi Bailian's house is a hundred-year-old mansion, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a tiger standing on the dragon plate, but it is a treasure of feng shui! Isn't this house worth at least seven or eight hundred thousand taels? There is also Xu Pengfei's three-entry courtyard, although it is not as valuable as Yi Bailian, but it is at least worth three or four hundred thousand taels! In addition, they left in a hurry, and it is estimated that they can only take away those gold and silver finesse, and the furniture in the house is not one hundred hundred thousand taels, I am afraid that they will not be able to come down! In this way, some of the brothels, restaurants and gambling houses we burned down, what is the calculation compared to this?" Sima Tan said with a grin.

"Master Sima, you are only half right, how much is a bit of a gain, but I'm afraid it's going to be halved!" Liu Sanqian glanced at Sima Tan and Liu Yun, who were overjoyed, and shook his head and said.

"What do you mean?" asked Sima Tan and Liu Yun at the same time.

"You don't want to think about it, is the location of the Jinling Branch of Xuehemen going to be picked from these two houses? If you don't pick one out, I'm afraid it will fall on our Yunliu Villa, yes or no?" Liu Sanqian said.

"Yes, the owner is right, the subordinates have forgotten this layer. Sima Tan said.

"Well, in this way, you immediately arrange for the Guo brothers to move all the good furniture in Xu Pengfei's house that has not been moved to Yunliu Villa. Then add some cheap ones to go in, and use the Xu Mansion as the Jinling branch of Xuehemen. In addition, arrange for someone to clean the Yi Mansion well, add some daily necessities, and arrange some young and beautiful virgins to go in. I plan to build it into a separate courtyard and give it to our two sect masters, 'Blood River Ancestor' and 'Nether Ghost Claw', in case they come to Jinling City one day, they can live in it and enjoy themselves. After the arrangement, the first time to fly the pigeon to Luoyang, to show our respect. Liu Sanqian said.

"Dad, which one are you playing? In this way, aren't we losing in vain?" asked Liu Yun with a puzzled expression.

"Yun'er, today my father will teach you well, you remember, wealth is a thing, you can't bring it with you in life, you can't take it away in death, and it is the most important thing to live well. Now almost the entire rivers and lakes are from the Blood River Gate, and your father and I are almost racking our brains in order to keep our family business, and finally caught up with the four protectors, but now, although the so-called four major protectors have a certain status in the Blood River Gate, the weight of what is said is extremely limited, and we must be able to tie up with other high-level figures in the door. Dad thought about it, other high-level people can be bought with silver tickets, but in the end, it is the two masters who make the decision, so we must take this line to ensure that we are safe. Do you understand? Yun'er, only by breaking wealth can disasters be eliminated, and wealth can be used to make people happy. No matter what time it is, you have to keep in mind the two words that your father just said. Liu Sanqian said to Liu Yun earnestly.

"Dad, I remember, but I still don't understand, we are all attached to the Blood River Gate, so why bother the two sect masters like this? Could it be that the people who belong to them will also be robbed? Wouldn't that chill the hearts of those who have already been attached, and also block the people who want to belong to the Blood River Gate?" Liu Yun asked.

"Yun'er, it seems that you only understand half of what I said, although they are all attached, but there are also distant relatives. What's more, the various factions in the door are fighting each other, if we become the henchmen of the two sect masters, with the support of the two door masters, then we can save a lot of trouble, otherwise, maybe one day the high-level people in the door will come to fight our autumn wind, today you come, tomorrow he comes, we are too annoyed not to say, and it is not necessarily more cost-effective than this time, and we will be angry, right? Do you understand now?" Liu Sanqian said.

"Dad, I understand this time, if nothing else, the head of the door sent this time to carry out the 'ghost post', can arrive this evening, the child immediately ordered people to prepare a reception banquet, to entertain them well, long-sleeved good dancing is Dad's consistent style, today I will learn Dad's style. Make more friends and make fewer enemies, right, Dad?" Liu Yun said.

"Yes, Yun'er, that's right, but it's not enough. Liu Sanqian said.

"Hmm, please ask my dad for advice. Liu Yun said.

"In addition to eating and drinking, everyone prepares a generous gift, and then each person serves two young women, Yun'er, you will always remember that wine and wealth are not separated, and no one in the world can escape. Got it?" said Liu Sanqian.

"Dad, I remember, I'll arrange it right away!" Liu Yun turned around and left, Liu Sanqian looked at his son, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Owner, I think the young master is not only smart, but also has a high level of understanding, so the owner can rest assured. Sima Tan lost no time in flattering.

"I'm afraid that's not enough!" Liu Sanqian said with a sigh.

"Zhuang Master, where did this come from?" Sima Tan was confused.

"Originally, I was going to carry out the 'Nether Post', I think although the general gate will also send masters, but to deal with Yi Bailian and the like, they will not send too high-level figures, at most the four Dharma protectors and the like. But now the situation has changed, not to mention that the 'Iron Gang' and the 'Thirteen Docks' joined forces, and they also retreated to Dazhai on the river together, so that the power of the 'Netherworld Post' arranged by the general gate in Yangzhou to come to execute the 'Netherworld Post' may be far from enough to completely destroy the Dazhai on the 'Thirteen Docks' River. Then the news will be transmitted back to the General Gate, and it is inevitable that the General Gate will also send higher-level and higher martial arts figures to Jinling, so that they can truly make meritorious contributions in the first battle and completely eliminate the forces that dare to resist with the Blood River Gate. In this way, we may have to spend a lot more on hospitality, and in addition, you should hurry up and prepare some generous gifts, so that these ancestors will be happy to come and go. Liu Sanqian said.

"I understand, owner, I'll arrange it tomorrow. Sima Tan said. As he spoke, he slowly walked out of the conference hall, and Sima Tan said secretly in his heart as he walked: The owner of the village is indeed the owner of the village, no matter when and where, it will always be a knife to cut tofu on both sides.

The general village of "Thirteen Consecutive Docks" is built on the water surface of the widest part of the Yangtze River, surrounded by water on all sides. The river seems to be slow on the surface, but the undercurrent is actually turbulent, and it may have taken a lot of effort to build this big village. The whole village is surrounded by a fence more than three feet high, and the top of the fence is covered with thorns and thistles. Every zhang or so, there is a stack of arrows, covered with strong bows and crossbows. There is a ten-zhang high watchtower in the middle of Dazhai, as long as there is any wind and grass on the water, it cannot escape the eyes of the people on the watchtower.

There is only one exit in the whole Dazhai, about three zhang wide, there is an arrow buttress on both sides of the door, and there are two arrow buttresses on the gatehouse. The door of the house was covered with spikes, and the gate was more than two feet higher than the fence. It is not easy for anyone to break through from the walled gate, even if they are masters of light achievements, they can only look at the door and sigh.

"Brother Xu, you are so generous, no wonder you dare to call for the blood river gate, you are this big village, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through thousands of troops, you and I have been friends for many years, and it is the first time I have come to your water village, but it is an eye-opener." Yi Bailian said with a smile.

"Hehe, in addition to these, I have trained two hundred masters who are proficient in water, no matter what kind of boat he is, I will dig a few holes for him first. In addition, my five hundred archers, day and night, the arrows are all made of stainless steel, after the design of the master, there is a small needle on the arrow, specializing in breaking the master's protective qi, I have damaged a little, the tips of the needles are coated with poison, this is enough for them to drink a pot. Also, the grain, vegetables, and firewood in my big village are enough for us to eat for one to two years, and we can't be trapped to death. In addition, do you see the fence of the fence carefully? They are all soaked in the mud for more than a year, and they are covered with silt, and the other side is a fire attack, and we are not afraid. In case it is still breached, I still have three clippers here, and we will evacuate, and no one will catch up with us. Xu Pengfei said unexpectedly.

"Okay, Brother Xian, the battle of life and death has begun, and it is up to you to be a brother. Yi Bailian said heavily.
