Chapter 9: Preparing for the Storm
"Childe, the Chu family today is very different from when you left five years ago, the current head of the Chu family, Chu Yifeng, also entered the Guiyuan First Realm last year, and now the Chu family has two Guiyuan Realms, if you add the Su City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion who returns to the Yuan Fivefold, even if the County King's Mansion wants to do it, you must first weigh whether your own family's Guiyuan Realm will die. ”
"So it's not that they can't fight, it's not that they can't fight, but they don't dare to fight?" As soon as he said this, Chu Yun immediately understood what Liu Ruyan meant.
"Yes, Gongzi, the interests of Yunshui County and Jiangcheng are so big now, and there is only one way to get greater benefits, and that is to reduce one family. ”
"It's just that the reduction of this family is not an easy task, if you can't crush it, then you can only endure it, otherwise once you start to lose both, it will be cheaper for others. ”
Although Liu Ruyan is young, she has also been doing intelligence in Yunlou for five years, and she has seen a lot of things like this in the past five years, so she has seen the battle between the Chu family, the city lord's mansion and the county king's mansion thoroughly.
"That's right, people in the world are profit-oriented, and when they see the opportunity to reduce their staff, they will spare no effort to fall into the ground, and at that time, the convenience of doing it was cheaper than others. ”
Chu Yun agreed with Liu Ruyan's words, and his life as a killer in the secret gate over the years had also made him see too many things fighting for interests, so it was not difficult for him to think about the delicate relationship between the Chu family and the county king's mansion now.
"By the way, Childe, this is the information you told you to collect earlier, please take a look. ”
Liu Ruyan said, took out a list from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to Chu Yun, only to see that it not only recorded the cultivation of the leaders of the various families in Yunshui County now, but also the list of various foreign forces who have now come to Jiangcheng.
Taking over the list, Chu Yun looked at the names arranged on it, as well as the strength cultivation of the suffix, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
"What is the strength of the rudder here now?"
After reading it, Chu Yun put down the list, didn't say anything, and instead asked about the strength of the rudder.
"Childe, now there are a total of forty people in the rudder, but only I am the third level of the Guiyuan Realm, and the other thirty-nine people are still about the eighth or ninth level of the Nine Heavens Realm. ”
When it came to the strength of the rudder, Liu Ruyan's eyes were full of pride and pride, because such a force was enough to crush any force in Yunshui County.
"Well, it's not bad, but ......."
"In this way, you take the Xiaoyun Order and go to inform the twelve Shura and the scholars that you must arrive here within three days! I am waiting for them at the Chu family. ”
Halfway through speaking, Chu Yun didn't continue to speak, but took out a blood-red jade plate with Xiaoyun written on it from his arms, and threw it at Liu Ruyan with his right hand.
"Childe, now that the rudder of the Cloud Building has been able to crush any of the Cloud Towers, even if we enter the secret realm, we have an advantage, why do you have to notify them? Do you want to sweep?" After receiving this order, Liu Ruyan did not immediately go down to execute it, but instead asked the question in his heart.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do it. Hearing the inquiry, Chu Yun glanced at her, with a hint of irritability in his words.
"Understood, then I'll go down first. After answering, Liu Ruyan stood up, walked out of the room quickly and closed the door.
In the room, Chu Yunyou's face was gloomy, and the current strength of the Yunlou rudder was indeed strong enough in Yunshui County.
But in Chu Yun's eyes, all this was not enough, it was far from enough, after all, this Bixue Cold Lotus was a ninth-level elixir, and the competition for this kind of elixir would easily involve the peak of Guiyuan, or even a cultivator of the three-day realm.
Although it seems that the news has not broken out now, it is impossible for other high-level sects to get the news that they can get.
If you are unlucky and meet the hidden world sect and know about it, then it is very likely that it will involve the power of reincarnation or even the divine dream realm.
In that case, even the three-day realm needs to rely on the forces behind it to be able to contact and fight, but it is also a fight for life, how can it be that such a scale of Yunlou can participate.
Thinking of this, the look on Chu Yun's face became more and more ugly, the worst of these three elixirs would have such a big risk, if it was to be replaced by the other two elixirs, he could really only sit and wait for death, and now in the secret realm of Bixue Hanlian, he could only hope that the news would not be known by the great sects.
"Alas, I don't want to, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's go to the front and look again. ”
After sighing and drinking the last sip of tea in the last cup, Chu Yun got up and walked out of the door, but the direction of departure was not the City Lord's Mansion, but another opposite place.
..............
Jiangcheng is at ten o'clock at noon at this time, the people and horses are like dragons, the river is endless, all kinds of shops are lined up, coupled with the various aromas that enter the nose from time to time at that time, the whole Jiangcheng is rendered very prosperous......
Gravel road, one of the widest main roads in Jiangcheng, the ground is completely paved with all kinds of gravel, can be used for eight four-wheeled carriages in parallel, there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, there are clothes shops, there are weapons shops, there are restaurants, there are inns, and there are many kinds of things, it is really prosperous......
Moving his pace, Chu Yun soon came to the largest gambling house in Jiangcheng, the plaque on it was written with the three big characters 'Four Seas Gambling House', and on the pillar next to it were two couplets......
You earn, he earns, everyone earns, you win, he wins, everyone wins!
Chu Yun couldn't help grinning at these fourteen words, everyone earns, everyone wins?
That's good!
If that's the case, then what kind of money does this gambling house make?
As soon as I walked into the gambling house, what caught my eye was not the various gambling tables, but a space similar to a teahouse, but soon a guy walked out from the back of the room and greeted Chu Yun for something to play.
"Just play around, you lead the way. After replying to the guy's words, Chu Yun walked casually behind the guy and watched.
There was a man's guidance along the way, and after a while, he came to the place where the people were buzzing, most of them were playing dice, and the other part was playing some gambling like picking sticks, and from time to time there were bursts of voices shouting and scolding mothers, which was very in line with the atmosphere of the gambling house here......
The room here is very wide, about a range of nearly 1,000 square meters, twenty or thirty tables are completely blocked, or standing or sitting, these people standing are all excited, some people who are in a hurry to lose are even red-eyed, as if to devour people, and those who have won money are quite leisurely, from time to time to make a few provocative words, so that some people willingly take out their net worth and property......
There are no fathers and sons in the casino!
This is the best reflection!
