Chapter 155: Yield

Gu Shenwei went to the South Wall Tavern three times in a row to keep his master's money firmly in his hands, and added a big source of income to Kunshe.

For the first time, Gu Shenwei went alone, and the new shopkeeper warmly received the young man, and after some politeness, he said that he was not very familiar with the situation in the store, and he had to ask the old shopkeeper for instructions about Tie Hanfeng's silver, and asked the other party to come back the next evening to solve this small problem when there were not many customers in the store.

The second time, Gu Shenwei still went to the meeting alone, but the four killers including the lotus girl secretly followed, and the knifemen gathered in a tavern a few blocks away, drinking while waiting for orders.

The new shopkeeper was even more polite than yesterday, toasting and touting, and after half an hour, Ai Ai said that the old shopkeeper had something to go out temporarily, but he didn't see it, and begged Yang Ye to wait another day.

Gu Shenwei accepted this explanation, left the tavern, but did not take back the sword he carried at the door, the two fat men guarding the door were nowhere to be seen, the street was shrouded in night, there was the sound of drunken ghosts vomiting in the distance, and when he turned back, the tavern door had been tightly closed from the inside.

I can't tell how many people rushed out from all directions, all with masked faces, holding all kinds of weapons, without saying a word, killing the young man at the door of the tavern, looking at the posture, this is not a tacit battle between the swordsmen.

Fists are also weapons, and Gu Shenwei did not rely on the door to defend the battle, but rushed into the enemy group, smashing his fists into everything he could touch.

He likes to fight, and after doing so many chores of asking for money, collecting money, and counting money, he finally got a complete vent, but the cost of venting is not small, and after he shattered the jaws of two knife men, he was also stabbed in the back.

As a killer, defense has always been his weakness, and after practicing the swordsmanship of the "Book of the Dead", attacking and defending has become his instinct and symbol.

Therefore, if it weren't for the timely rescue of the lotus girl and others, Gu Shen would have died with several enemies in order to protect him.

The killer's knife changed the tide of the battle, but the sneak attacker apparently expected the boy to have a helper, and more and more of the knife came out of the darkness, and after his footsteps, the snow on the ground melted.

The five killers fought and retreated, surrounded by groups at the gap in the walled city.

Gu Shenwei took out a bull horn from his bosom and sounded the signal for help, the horn was one of the essential items of Tuo Nengya, and he taught the young leader how to use it.

Fifty swordsmen put down their glasses, lined up in the alley in the blink of an eye, trotted forward, and soon came to the gap in the wall, shouted in unison, and joined the warband.

Tuo Nengya once claimed that the formation of fifty swordsmen had almost no opponents in Jinpeng Castle, and he did not brag, rows of swords flashed, blood flowed, limbs flew wildly, and continuous screams pierced the night sky and spread all the way to the northern city.

As long as someone starts, the swordsmen can kill just as much.

The killing was like a barrel of alcohol, drunk all the people gathered around, and the wounded swordsman did not retreat, but killed more and more bravely, this is a slaughter that is indistinguishable from the enemy, and the participants have only one thought, to cut down everything that can move in front of them.

Before rushing to the gap, most of the sword formation had dispersed, and nearly 200 people were fighting in a chaotic manner.

The killing provoked fearless courage, came and went so suddenly that many people realized almost at the same time how stupid it was to fight so hard here, throwing down their knives and running, cursing their enemies and masters at the same time.

Gu Shenwei was carried back to the residence, and in the crowded melee, no matter how wonderful the swordsmanship and sword skills were, there was no use, but the next morning he was able to walk on the ground, and except for a not too serious scar on his face, there was almost no injury visible.

The four killers including the Lotus Girl were also wounded, and there was no major problem, but the knifeman killed seven and wounded more than 30 people, and the enemy's losses were even greater, with an estimated death of more than 20 people and countless serious injuries.

Tuo Nengya met with the young leader alone, and made a serious request, "If the future battles are of this type, I need to increase the number of manpower, the sword formation is not omnipotent, to protect the merchants scattered all over the southern city, this strength is even more of a drop in the bucket." ”

Tuo Nengya is an old Jianghu, keenly aware that this ambush is only the beginning of a more brutal war, once you enter the white-hot war for which you are fighting, the shops with financial resources are the most critical battlefield.

Just when the residents of Nancheng were busy buying New Year's goods, the Kunshe and the Qiu Society began a war for territory, the friendly rules of the swordsmen were broken, and the dead became commonplace, even those who were used to seeing corpses couldn't help but be terrified, and no one dared to guarantee that when they opened the door at dawn, the streets would be clean.

Only with money can you invite swordsmen, and with more swordsmen, you will have a greater chance of winning, at this point, Kunshe is at a significant disadvantage, so Tie Hanfeng's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver suddenly become very important.

Gu Shenwei went to the South Wall Tavern for the third time, the building was empty, the shopkeeper and the men were gone, Gu Shenwei first retrieved his sword in the room where the weapons were stored, and then ordered the swordsmen to seal all the items in the store, especially the fine wine that was made into an altar.

He used the tavern as a base camp, and scheduled a public auction of all the fine wines in three days, and let people spread the news that if the shopkeeper Lu did not come forward to clean up the aftermath, this would probably be the last batch of fine wine in Nancheng in a few years, this news caused the price of wine to skyrocket, and many people even came to buy Tibetan wine in advance.

The night before the auction, the shopkeeper Lu, who was enjoying happiness in Beicheng, appeared, his always calm expression was gone, and he cried with a sad face, saying that he had been deceived, and that the new shopkeeper was a villain who used the South Wall Tavern to murder his most important patron.

Gu Shenwei felt that there was no need to expose the absurdity, so he put forward the conditions for reconciliation, and the shopkeeper Lu agreed one by one, from now on, the South Wall Tavern only accepted the protection of the Kun Society, and all the goods were also protected by the people of the Ten Princes.

The South Wall Tavern was forced to choose only one of the top two, which brought a series of effects, many merchants in the South City were paying money to several backers at the same time, and they were deeply dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Kun Society, so they learned from the example of the blacksmith village, sent representatives, and put pressure on the big and small covers, and the covers also elected representatives to express their worries to the major forces in Biyu City at the same time, although the South City is chaotic, it is also a place where commerce gathers, once the merchants feel insecure, it may affect the prosperity of the entire Biyu City.

It has been less than two months since the tenth prince became independent, and he caused such a big disturbance in Nancheng, whether Dubu Wang was happy or angry about this, no one knows, he sent the second young master to meet with the Meng family, as well as several big men in Beicheng, to discuss privately, and finally let out the words: Children are playing, everyone doesn't have to worry, as long as no one lives.

It was these few words that almost made the swordsmen in Nancheng bleed, because the "human life" in the mouth of the big man did not include the swordsmen who mixed here.

Jinpeng Fort and Meng still formulated several unwritten rules: the main figures of the Kun Society and the Qiu Society all stayed in the North City, did not participate in the fire and merger in the South City, and the killing was limited to those with knives, and neither party was allowed to interfere with the merchants, and the merchants could choose their own protectors, and at the same time, the merchants could not participate in the struggle between the two factions, such as the South Wall Tavern, which even wanted to assassinate the killer, and the result was to blame.

Jean Tonenya was right, and the war quickly turned to how to get the support of the merchants.

The great value of the old swordsman was fully realized, and when it came to gaining the trust of the merchants, the two scimitars hanging from his waist were more adept than anyone else, and no matter how quickly Gu Shen stabbed this group of young killers, their still immature faces could hardly reassure the old merchants.

Tuo Nengya played the banner of Jinpeng Castle and patiently told the merchants a truth: Kun Society is the organization of the ten sons of Jinpeng Castle, which exists today and will always exist in the future, this is the business of Jinpeng Castle, what about Qiu Society? A group of playboys set up a gang on a whim, even if they win in this struggle, maybe one day they will break up if they are not interested, as a businessman who is ready to practice in Nancheng for a long time, which side will you choose as a protector?

In this truth, Shangguan Fei, the ninth prince, was deliberately hidden, as if Shangguan Ru was the only one who represented Jinpeng Castle.

Tuo Nengya persuaded many people, but it was not enough to have verbal skills, Gu Shenwei hired more knife men, Shangguan Ru sent all the killers into Nancheng, and even let Shangguan Yushi personally sit in the battle, she and Huan Nu were one killer and one with a knife, and they were-for-tat with Qiu She, and there was bloodshed almost every day, which reminded the young killers of the former apprentice killing, and they were all excited.

plus Yu Gongzi, a total of eleven killers, divided into five groups, specifically looking for famous swordsmen on the side of the Qiu Society, and soon, the swordsmen in Nancheng gave the title of "Blood Knife" to the teenagers.

Gu Shenwei lived a dual life, managing the knife hand during the day and returning to his killer nature at night, he preferred the latter role, so he gradually handed over most of the knife hand affairs to Tuo Nengya.

Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl were a team, making full use of this rare opportunity to practice swordsmanship, although the two of them had a growing disagreement about the details of the scriptures, it did not affect their progress in the slightest.

Gu Shenwei became more and more proficient in finding the enemy's "life qi", from the beginning blindfolded and deliberately excluded vision, and slowly became able to see no one, the key is that unlike the internal skills that have been exchanged but can no longer be improved, he feels that the swordsmanship is endless, and every time he succeeds in killing, he can go further.

The Lotus Maiden had reached such an extreme level of increasing her murderous aura that she had to train herself to hide her murderous aura, which was only revealed the moment she drew her sword, and many of her opponents had been crushed by the sudden expansion of murderous aura before the stab of the electric flint sword came, neither shouting nor resisting.

The two teenage killers grew up silently, destroying sword wounds after each kill to hide their eyes, and few people noticed their changes when everyone's eyes were fixed on the Kunqiu War.

Finally one day, Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl discovered that it was no longer meaningful to kill ordinary swordsmen, and they needed stronger opponents.

This opportunity came unexpectedly on the last day of the year: because of a strange murder, one of the most famous swordsmen in the Western Regions, the sacrificial sword Ye Shilang, publicly challenged the killer Yang Huan.
