The great thief Chilu was captured alive by the Dragon King, and the news spread faster than the Red Soul broke into the Dragon King's Mansion at night.

Almost simultaneously, the envoys of the seven Western Regions nations sent to Biyu City made requests for dignitaries to the Dragon King, promising heavy rewards, but all of them were refused.

"A million taels of silver, this is the price of the bare spirit. Xu Xiaoyi answered every messenger who came to the door.

The news of the Dragon King's sale spread like this, "The Dragon King said, even if it is a wild horse, as long as he pays a million taels, he will release people, the Dragon King is crazy for money, a thief who kills people and sells goods, is it worth so much money?"

Everyone was surprised by the Dragon King's move, Fang Wen was one of them, and he specifically asked the Dragon King to say this, "You are the Dragon King, do this kind of thing...... Isn't it....... ”

Fang Wen was embarrassed to continue, in his opinion, since he had caught Chilu, he should put on a high profile and hand it over to the country where the wanted criminal was wanted, and he didn't even want a bounty, so as to establish an image.

Gu Shenwei had other ideas, "Daxue Mountain needs money, so I can't give up any opportunity to make money. As for those small countries, I can guarantee that they will release them as soon as they take them away. ”

"What if the wild horse pays for it? If you really hand it over to him, it is the sworn enemy of the Great Snow Mountain. ”

Xu Xiaoyi interjected with a smile on the side, "In this matter, I support the Dragon King, although the military advisor can rest assured, the last person to pay is definitely not a wild horse, nor is it a few small countries." ”

Fang Wen felt that the Dragon King had something to hide from him, and he felt very awkward in his heart, so he refused to leave, Xu Xiaoyi understood the intention of the military advisor, and retired with interest, thinking about how to spend and appreciate the large amount of silver that was about to arrive.

As soon as Xu Xiaoyi left, Fang Wenshi asked straight to the point: "Dragon King, since you asked me to go out of the mountain to be a military advisor, I have the right to know everything...... Belch...... For the most part, if you're keeping it a secret from me, I'll just have to mess around. ”

"The military advisor has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and I don't want to trouble you anymore about many things, but I really didn't deliberately hide anything, what the military advisor wants to know, just ask. ”

Fang Wen wanted to know a lot of things, and thought for a while, "How much money does the Great Snow Mountain have?"

"A little more than 870,000 taels, and the speed at which money is spent is faster than the money is made. ”

This does sound the truth, Fang Wen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this is much less than he imagined, no wonder the Dragon King has been so stingy, "Okay, there is always a way to solve the matter of money." I now want to know what is going on with these forces in Biyucheng? Wild Horses, Tianshan Sect, Meng's Clan, and Deyi Tower, I have been completely confused, who are enemies and who are friends? Except for Jinpeng Castle, I can't figure out any of them. ”

Fang Wen was indeed a little indignant, he was concerned about Beiting and the Central Plains, barely counting Jinpeng Fort and the Meng Clan, and he really couldn't figure out what other small forces were.

"Mustang and I were rivals during our apprenticeship, and I almost died at his hands, and he almost died at my hands. Gu Shenwei still doesn't understand how his hatred with Mustang was originally formed, the two of them seem to be born on the wrong path, "According to what I know, Mustang was expelled from Jinpeng Fort three years ago, and somehow got Beiting's appreciation. ”

"Beiting? You said Mustang was from Beiting? I thought he was just temporarily hired to help the Overseer. ”

Gu Shenwei shook his head, the Tianshan Sect dug up the details of some wild horses, although they were not complete, but they were enough to deduce many things, "The wild horse is a very charming person, but without Beiting behind him, he can't form the current team." ”

"Therefore, Beiting's palm has actually reached into the territory of Biyu City. Once Fang Wen understood the stakes, he immediately felt that what the Dragon King said was right.

"Exactly, Beiting will not recognize the relationship with the wild horses, so that the wild horses can not be bound by any agreement and compete for power in Biyu City. ”

"In the end, these powers will always fall into the hands of Beiting. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, "That's right, but Mustang is basically independent, he returned to Biyu City earlier than me, worshiped the Proud Building, was trusted by the Peng Immortals, and incorporated the entire Proud Mansion into his own gang, and then based on this, he established a deep or shallow connection with the Meng Clan and Jinpeng Castle." ”

Fang Wen finally understood Beiting's layout in Biyu City, "Since Beiting is secretly supporting the Mustang Gang, then the Central Plains will definitely not stand idly by, is it possible to ......?"

"I haven't found definite evidence yet, but I guess the Tianshan Sect has always been supported by the Central Plains. ”

"That's why the Tianshan Sect will help the Dragon King, because we have the same backer. ”

"I believe that's it. Then there is the Meng family, this is the most important ally of Jinpeng Castle, but there is also a rift between the two sides, Meng Yuzun is actually a martial arts master, he cooperated with Mrs. Meng and secretly trained a team of female killers, called Tianji Society, as for the purpose, I am not very clear, in short, Tianji Society is not for the Dubu King. ”

This is the most surprising news for the military advisor, "Meng Yuzun, that big fat man?

"As I saw with my own eyes, the fat man's martial arts are not weak. ”

"This is a good thing, Meng Yuzun has a disagreement with Dubu King, we can take advantage of it. ”

"Probably, this rift is not being exploited right now. ”

"What about the Dragon King, and what is your position among these forces?"

"To put it simply, Mustang is bent on killing me, but Meng Yuzun and Mrs. Meng don't want to, they want to ask for a martial arts secret book from me, so Mustang wants to pretend to kill me and force me into a desperate situation. After I revealed the truth, he didn't fight back immediately, but hid and occasionally harassed, in fact, he was waiting for the opportunity. ”

Fang Wen wanted to ask what martial arts secrets would make a rich man like Meng Yuzun excited, but he held back in time, such an important thing must be the secret of the Dragon King, and he was not qualified to get to the bottom of it.

Xu Xiaoyi said that it was not the wild horses that paid in the end, nor the small countries. ”

"Chilu has actually been bought by Jinpeng Castle, and it has nothing to do with the wild horses. ”

Fang Wen was finally confused, "This ...... What's going on?"

"Chi Lu is a smart man, with a knife on his neck, he doesn't say that he is a lackey of Jinpeng Castle, but claims to be a man of wild horses, I am just planning to blackmail those old wealth fans in Beicheng to make them come up with money. ”

"Chi Lu broke into the Dragon King's Mansion at night, killing people and snatching knives first, so he didn't dare to admit that he was from Jinpeng Castle. Fang Wen is mouth showed a smile, "I am at the peace meeting, I have to make good use of this matter." ”

The Dragon King put his heart in his heart, Fang Wen was much more comfortable, and began to make suggestions for Daxue Mountain, "Daxue Mountain is short of money, and the Meng family has money, can you find a way to get some silver from Meng Yuzun." ”

"I've been trying to figure it out. Gu Shenwei was telling the truth, "The biggest enemy of the Great Snow Mountain at the moment is actually Meng Yuzun, money can reach the sky, and the Meng clan is enough to affect the overall situation of the Western Regions." ”

Fang Wen felt the same way, and then looked at the Dragon King suspiciously, "Dragon King, you don't want to sabotage that marriage and prevent the Meng Clan from uniting with Jinpeng Castle, right?"

Gu Shenwei's gaze turned cold, Fang Wen knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized, "The Dragon King forgives me, I'm talking too much." Then he couldn't help but add, "The relationship between the Meng clan and Jinpeng Castle is rock-solid, and destroying the marriage will only make the two families hate each other, and the Dragon King must know this." ”

Fang Wen retired satisfied, not knowing that the Dragon King was still hiding something from him.

Xiaoyuetang had already infiltrated Biyu City deeply, and even penetrated into the interior of Jinpeng Castle, but Gu Shenwei had never been able to figure out whether this female killer organization was friend or foe, because there was a lotus girl in it.

The Dutch girl stole the "Book of No Dao", it is likely that she is already an important person in Xiaoyue Hall, Gu Shenwei sometimes has a sudden chill in her back, as if she is hiding nearby, but when she looks for it, she finds nothing, he always can't help but suspect that she is secretly planning some conspiracy.

On the third day after Chi Lu was captured, news began to circulate in Biyu City that Mustang had sent someone to contact the Dragon King to redeem Chi Lu, and it was said that the thief was the right-hand man of Mustang and would rescue him no matter how much it cost.

Gu Shenwei and Xu Xiaoyi guessed right, several old swordsmen in Beicheng couldn't sit still, if Chilu was released, they would be in danger, and the one million and twenty ** from the wild horses would also be passed on to them.

Liu Zu came to visit in person, and the skinny old swordsman smiled like a child of several years old, "The Dragon King is worthy of being the Dragon King, and he can catch a thief like Chilu." ”

Xu Xiaoyi said a few perfunctory words for the Dragon King, and waited for the old slippery head to say his purpose.

"A few of our old fellows have discussed, the red spirit does all kinds of evil, it is really a big scourge in the Western Regions, we are willing to do the way for the heavens, and pay for the dragon king to get rid of him. ”

"Whoever has a million taels of silver, the bare spirit belongs to whoever. Xu Xiaoyi still spoke.

Gu Shenwei sat cross-legged on a hard couch and did not speak from beginning to end.

Beads of sweat oozed from Liu Zu's forehead, and he almost gritted his teeth and spoke, "Okay, let's give one million taels." ”

"As soon as the money arrives, someone will give it to you. ”

"Tomorrow, one hand to pay the money, the other hand to the people, the living. ”

After Liu Zu left, Xu Xiaoyi jumped up and down with excitement, "This money is really easy to earn, and it is more cost-effective than any transaction." ”

Gu Shenwei was not so happy, "There is fraud in it." ”

"What deception?" Xu Xiaoyi asked, his surprised appearance was quite incommensurate with the mature mustache.

"Liu Zu knew that Chilu was bought by Jinpeng Castle, so he didn't dare to ask the Jinpeng killer for help, but he kept pretending to be confused, hoping to kill Chilu with the help of other forces, he was willing to pay a million taels this time, and he wanted a living person, not a human head, what does it mean?"

Xu Xiaoyi immediately understood, "The old fox is buying people for Jinpeng Castle, maybe this million taels is from Jinpeng Castle." ”

"Hmm. ”

"So what are we going to do? ”

"If you want money, you go to see Liu Zu in the afternoon and raise the price to two million taels. ”

Xu Xiaoyi jumped up again, "Good deal, good deal, since Jinpeng Fort took the initiative to send it to the door, it should be slaughtered." I'm afraid that Jinpeng Fort will feel that it is not worth it and will not pay so much money. ”

"Yes. Gu Shenwei said with certainty that he understood one thing, Chiluo must have a secret in his heart that was very important to Jinpeng Castle, and he had to dig it out before releasing him.
