Chapter 171: Partnership

Shao Mingqian then asked the shopkeeper Luo for the loan, and the 'Dragon God' was directly refreshing, but Shao Mingqian was not good at slowly talking about bargaining, and immediately gave the highest profit.

Shopkeeper Luo thought for a moment and asked, "How much does Lord Shao want to borrow?"

Shao Mingqian said: "'Zhongzhou' produces a lot of grain, and our gang has exhausted all the more than 5 million taels of cash that is still lacking in cash. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "The annual income of the imperial court is less than four million, how can I help me get five million cash?"

Shao Mingqian said: "My dynasty has very little business tax, and it is not uncommon for merchants to be richer than the imperial court, not to mention that the imperial court is full of expenses, and the noble gang is very good at trading, and the economy is first-class. ”

The shopkeeper Luo said: "To be honest, if you sell some of the property to make a profit, it is not difficult to make up five million taels, but now there is not so much cash, and besides, although the transaction of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' is large, the surplus is not high, if you can't afford to pay it back, even if we help to pay off the debt, we will have to operate for at least 20 years to return to the capital, which is not cost-effective for my help." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Shopkeeper Luo is reasonable, but the grain and rice, even if it is lost, it will not be lost, at most half the price can be sold, and the remaining deficit will be offset by my help, even if it is not enough, it is not far away." ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "That's true, Lord Shao is eloquent, but five million taels of silver don't say it's us, no gang or court in the world can take it today, even if it's 'Dayu Heavenly City', it's far from this number, maybe only a few wealthy businessmen in 'Gumengzhou' have such a skill." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Today's 'Dayu Heavenly City' is naturally not as rich as the 'Six Dragons Gang', as long as Shopkeeper Luo is willing to help, there must be a way. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "The master of the Shao League is promoted, there is a way, but I have one condition. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Please speak." ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "Instead of taking the risk of millions of taels of silver to sit on the ground and take one profit, I am more interested in the trading of the Shao League Master, how about you and I do in partnership?"

Shao Mingqian said: "How to partner?"

The shopkeeper Luo said: "I am responsible for buying grain, and your gang is responsible for selling it, and the surplus is shared, and the risk of loss is borne by the public." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "This is very good, how does Shopkeeper Luo plan to divide it?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "I'll count the cash available in the gang first, and then I'll go and talk to your gang in detail within three days." It has only taken a quarter and a half since the alliance leader stepped into our gang, and it may be too late for the Shao alliance leader to leave immediately. ”

Shao Mingqian said with a grim expression: "What news did your gang get?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "I just received the news that the evil venerable has entered the customs and went to 'Zhongzhou'. ”

Shao Mingqian was taken aback and said, "Please ask your gang to summon the message on your behalf, and I will go back next." ”

"The 'Dragon God' has sent someone to deliver the news to your gang. ”

"Thank you. ”

The battle of 'Zhongzhou' and the 'Yang Dao League' gradually gained the upper hand, and the strength of the four major gangs was not as good as that of the 'Yang Dao League', plus some inexplicable masters secretly made it even more supportive, and the Yamen who were in cahoots with it were busy from morning to night, and everything was inseparable from the affairs of the four major gangs in Zhongzhou, and the Yamen blocked the news in time, and the people of 'Zhongzhou' complained about the actions of the four gangs and the Yamen, and the Yamen was forced to have no choice but to order the four gangs to suspend trading. The business of the four gangs plummeted, and they were forced to replace the store plaques, and they did not dare to sell fake products when they reopened a few days later. The master of the three halls of the 'Yang Dao League' is stunning, and his martial arts are world-famous, coupled with his secret mobilization of the 'Xuanyi Guard' to escort the caravan and guard the branch hall, the four gangs have been hit many times, and the losses are very heavy, and the yamen is afraid that public opinion does not dare to openly favor the four gangs to find trouble with the 'Yang Dao League', and the 'Yang Dao Alliance' is much more convenient, but under the good situation, they don't know that the crisis is approaching.

On the 'Qiuchi Mountain', there is only one group left behind in the 'Xuanyi Guard', half of the four groups and the seven groups that Liang Xie is not satisfied with, a total of a little more than 100 people, and the four hall masters, Heng Wushu and Shao Mingqian are not there, so it can be said that the strength is quite weak. The affairs on the mountain were decided by the deacon of the 'Xuanyi Guard' group to Tieyi, the deacon Xiong Danchi of the fourth group assisted, and Liang Xie did not know anything about everything, and took care of his practice in the back mountain, forgetting to sleep and eat, and all the big and small things in the group were taken care of by Tan Xingde.

Everyone was busy with their own business, and suddenly 'Xuanyiwei' reported that someone was looking for Tang Xian, Tang Xian was slightly stunned and went to see him, and after a while, he walked back with a solemn expression, Tan Xingde saw that his face was wrong, and asked, "What bad news does Lord Tang have?"

Tang Xian spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand was a note, the note was crumpled, and it was crooked like four words written in his left hand - the evil venerable is coming!

Tan Xingde was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Is it from Lord Tang's friend who is in the guard position in the Wu Eunuch Mansion?"

Tang Xian nodded and said, "It's him." ”

"It's a problem this time. Tan Xingde's face was solemn, and he hurriedly summoned Yu Qibai and Yifeng, and asked Zhao Zhengxiong to ask Tie Yi and Xiong Danchi to discuss.

After looking at the two Xiongs, he couldn't help frowning, Xiong Danchi said: "I don't know whether the evil lord is here to attack the chief rudder or to intercept the commander and several hall masters, we are afraid that the commander will be transferred to the mountain and defend the general rudder, and we are afraid that the commander and several hall masters will make a mistake, this is really a problem." ”

Xiang Tieyi said: "It's really a problem. What do you think of Master Tan and Yu Xiazhu?"

Yu Qibai said: "It's better not to move than to move." Tan Xingde frowned and was silent, noncommittal.

Xiang Tieyi said: "It's okay, Shan Chi, first ask someone to summon the commander and several hall masters to tell them to be on guard, and then listen to the commander's arrangement." ”

Xiong Danchi said: "Do you want to inform the helper about this?"

Xiang Tieyi said: "Tell me, if the helper doesn't come back, this matter can't be solved." ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away. Xiong Danchi said that he immediately called the two flying pigeons around him to pass the book.

Tang Xian said: "Archdeacon, please forgive Tang for being rude, our arrangement seems to be safe, but it has a fatal flaw. ”

Xiang Tieyi said: "Lord Tang might as well say it directly." ”

Tang Xian said: "The evil venerable is ranked fourth among the six masters, and the leader and leader are not his opponents when he fights alone, if he brings people to attack the helm, it is impossible for us to resist it, instead of waiting here to do that senseless death, it is better to divide half of the people to help the leader, or to help the leader increase the chances of victory." Besides, even if half of the people are left, as long as the evil venerable does not come, it will not be so easy for the others to capture the helm. ”

Xiang Tieyi nodded, but Yu Qibai shook his head and said: "Although Lord Tang's words have some truth, but there are also fatal flaws, if the leader of any of the four major gangs brings the elite to attack the general rudder, with the current strength of the general rudder, it can still resist, if half of the people go out, then there will only be a share of the fall." ”

As he was talking, a carrier pigeon fluttered and flew down outside the hall, Xiong Danchi immediately asked someone to take out the letter and take a look, but it was a message from the 'Yang Dao Alliance' in the 'Great Dragon City' branch hall, and only five words were written on it that were as red as blood - 'Evil respect, respond quickly!'

The letter is in red letters, but the situation is urgent, Xiang Tieyi was silent and thought for a moment: "Forget it, let's bet once, Shan Chi, you guard the helm, and I will take people to support and lead them." ”

"Good. Xiong Dan replied lately.

Before Yu Qibai could say anything, he interrupted Tie Yi: "If the commander and several hall masters have an accident, it will be only a matter of time before the helm falls, and we still have a chance to win if we gamble." ”

Yifeng and Zong Lao both nodded, and Yu Qibai had no other way but to nod silently.

Xiang Tieyi said: "This opponent is not trivial, Tieyi wants to ask Sect Elder, Tang Da and Tan Yi to accompany him to help, I don't know what the four of them think?"

Zong Lao said: "It's best, my old bone should also be active." ”

Xiang Tieyi was overjoyed, thanked the elder of the sect, and the other three also agreed, and arranged for Tieyi to pack up weapons, dry food, carrier pigeons and other things, and prepare to set off.

Before leaving, he instructed Tie Yi: "The chief rudder will be handed over to Shan Chi and Yu Xia to capture." ”

Xiong Danchi said: "Don't worry, archdeacon." ”

He nodded to Tie Yi and waved his hand to set off.

"Wait!" After a pause at Tieyi's feet, Yu Qibai hugged his fists and said, "Archdeacon, I'll ask you for an errand." ”

Xiang Tieyi said, "What errand?"

Yu Qibai said: "Can I change with Master Tan? In terms of martial arts, I am similar to Master Tan, if it comes to dispatching troops, traps, ambushes and other things, I don't know anything, and Master Tan is more useful than me to stay on the mountain." ”

Xiang Tieyi groaned slightly, Tan Xingde's family was on the mountain, and it was indeed more appropriate for him to stay, so he asked at the moment: "Is Master Tan willing?"

Tan Xingde said: "But by the deacon's orders." ”

"Good. Then there will be Lao Yuxia arrested. ”

At that moment, Yu Qibai took the iron rod and exchanged it with Tan Xingde, and went down the mountain with Xiang Tieyi. Walking towards the iron-clad people, there were only less than fifty 'Xuanyi Guards' left on the mountain, and there were almost no first-class masters, although this person was enough to form a more influential gang than the previous 'Tan Gate', but the opponent of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' was far from being comparable to 'Tan Gate'.

The pressure suddenly shrouded Tan Xingde's heart, the current 'Qiuchi Mountain' he may be the strongest combat power, his family is here, he will never allow the 'Yang Dao Alliance' to have any mistakes.

The next thing they have to do is to arm, fortunately, the arming does not require strong martial arts, in addition to the 'Xuanyi Guard' on the mountain, there are still a lot of manpower available, and the defense of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' has always been very good, Tan Xingde They just need to strengthen and improve.
