The killer team formed by Shangguan Ru was called "Kunshe", I don't know who first called out this name, and it quickly spread in Biyu City, and even Shangguan Ru himself accepted this name, everyone knew that the ten sons of Jinpeng Fort were going to compete with the five sons of the Meng family.

It's going to be a big show, and many people thought so at first.

Shangguan Ru and Meng Mingshi have a deep grudge, so the confrontation between the Kun Society and the Qiu Society has its own inevitability, and Gu Shenwei also spent a lot of effort to add fuel to the fire.

As soon as he returned to the stone castle, he reported in detail to the tenth prince about the robbery of the swordsman in the rouge forest, Shangguan Ruoran was very angry, and he wished that he was present at the time, and personally taught the little bastard of the Meng family who had a ghost in his heart and betrayed him at a critical moment, in this case, it was reasonable to kill Liu Crooked.

Shangguan Ru took some trouble to enter the city, although the "evil qi" in her body did not attack for a long time, but it was impossible to determine whether it was eradicated or not, so Mrs. Meng did not allow her to go to the mixed Nancheng, and wanted her daughter to sit in the castle and control it remotely.

In order to be completely independent, Shangguan Ru had waited for many years, and naturally did not want to tie his hands and feet, so the mother and daughter had a conflict.

In the end, Gu Shenwei came up with a way to donate the house that Master Tie Hanfeng bought in Beicheng, where Shangguan Ru could live, very close to Nancheng, so that it was convenient to command his subordinate killers and swordsmen.

The security level of the northern city was only slightly inferior to that of Jinpeng Castle, and countless times stronger than that of the southern city, and Madame Meng finally agreed.

Shangguan Yushi has been finding faults, first complaining that it took too long for Huan Nu to recruit swordsmen, and Shangguan Fei's team had already been formed, and then accused Huan Nu of recruiting some old swordsmen, and they were all former people of the young master, and finally belittled the house in Beicheng, feeling that it was too small and did not meet the identity of the tenth prince.

Shangguan Ru was not so picky, he was very satisfied with everything, and on the first day of his descent from the mountain, he summoned all the swordsmen.

Fifty-one swordsmen entered the northern city empty-handed, and were inspected by the new master in a small courtyard that was not too wide, and performed several sets of formations.

Shangguan Ru's performance proved that she was worthy of being the daughter of the Dubu King, she put away all the little girl's expressions, both majestic and steady, and approachable, life in the Iron Mountain camp taught her a lot of tricks to deal with big men, so after a contest of swordsmanship, a tour of fine wine, and two dice, even the swordsman who looked down on women the most was greatly impressed, and publicly expressed his loyalty to the ten sons in a drunken manner.

After three days of excitement, the swordsmen returned to the southern city, the five killers followed, and the other five stayed in the northern city, and the tenth prince had to think about the real problem of survival.

According to the rules of Jinpeng Castle, the "young master" only allocated 20,000 taels of silver in the first year of independence, and he didn't care about anything else, he had to develop and grow according to his own ability.

The first is to charge a protection fee, there are many businesses in Nancheng, each of them has to find one or more protectors, the only problem is that the old merchants have already found a good backer, and there are too few new businesses, and it is very difficult for Kunshe to get a piece of the pie.

The second is the bodyguard and escort business, which is also a highly competitive industry, the most direct opponent is Jinpeng Castle, there are also many cheap cargo owners, Gu Shenwei because of Tie Hanfeng's relationship, he is relatively familiar with the southwest, and can help a lot.

The third item is assassination, which was originally the main business of Jinpeng Castle, but now there are fewer and fewer of them, and even Shangguan Ru himself does not understand how the real assassination business is carried out.

Shangguan Yushi's entire mind was spent on the tenth prince, and the mundane thing of making money was naturally pushed to Huan Nu.

Gu Shen led fifty-one swordsmen to start a hard business in order to leave the lotus girl and three other killers.

Now there is a good opportunity in Nancheng, due to the killing of Shangguan Chui, the outer hall organization has collapsed, and the merchants who were originally under the protection of the big young master are looking for new protectors everywhere.

These merchants are distributed in all walks of life, although there are not many, but almost all over the southern city.

Kunshe started a little late, most of the merchants had already found a backer, Gu Shenwei did not give up, he asked for the list of merchants from Tuo Nengya's mouth, and learned the general standard of protection fees from the Xu sisters and brothers, and after knowing it, he led his subordinates to contact from door to door.

In order to calm the situation, some merchants are willing to pay an extra protection fee, but they ask for a significant reduction in the standard, while others do not take the teenager seriously and bring out new backers to deal with it.

This new backer is usually the Qiu Society.

Gu Shenwei did not accept the low protection fee, nor did he get angry with those who refused, but just showed an attitude to everyone: Shangguan Chui's business still belongs to Jinpeng Castle, and only the nine young masters and ten princes are eligible to inherit.

He's waiting for a suitable opportunity to show his strength.

The opportunity soon came to the blacksmith village on the edge of the city.

Dozens of shops in the blacksmith village are one of the most important assets of the young master, and after Shangguan's death, the blacksmiths did not immediately look for a new backer, and as a result, two groups of people came to the door almost at the same time.

This was the first time that the Kunsha and the Qiu Society had a head-on confrontation, and at the beginning, the swordsmen on both sides tested each other, and when they found that no one would back down, they used their knives, resulting in several injuries.

The blacksmiths were dissatisfied, because these petty fights affected the business very much, so they united and elected several representatives to meet with the leaders of the two sides respectively, and agreed on a time to invite them to fight, and whoever won the blacksmith village would pay the protection money to whomever he could.

This request sounded fair and reasonable, and so, on a snowflake morning, a duel involving hundreds of swordsmen began.

Gu Shenwei and several other killers followed Tuo Nengya's advice and only watched from the sidelines, and for the first time they saw a fight between pure swordsmen, they found that this was a completely different style from the killer.

Tuo Nengya only brought thirty swordsmen, and the opponent was more than seventy people, and the number was obviously superior.

They are not as deep as the killers who pursue one-hit killing, but like two groups of theater troupes, some people call for formation, some people make noise, some people throw things, some people make all kinds of humiliating and provocative actions, from morning to noon, only three or four pairs of people are sent to fight with knives, each other has won and lost, and no one has died.

As soon as the meal arrived, the two groups dispersed to eat, and the experienced vendors had already been carrying wontons, noodles and other foods outside the blacksmith village, and the swordsmen ate happily, and even people from the two opposing sides sat together and chatted happily, as if this was not a duel, but a temple fair.

In the afternoon, when the snow was heavy, the two factions of swordsmen regrouped to repeat the morning set, and finally the battle began when the sun was about to set.

The battle lasted for half an hour, leaving red marks on the snow, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the blacksmiths all put down their work, stood at the door and watched, and from time to time pointed out to the apprentices, and a certain heroic swordsman was holding a sharp weapon made by the shop.

Tuo Nengya confirmed his worth, and the thirty swordsmen who were neatly arranged were well founded, and they were indeed much stronger than the stragglers on the opposite side, and after several battles, the swordsmen of the Qiu Society ran out.

What impressed Gu Shenwei was that although both sides shed a lot of blood, no one died.

This is simply a farce, but Tuo Nengya explained the reason to the young leader afterwards, "The swordsmen are all mixed rice, and they try not to make enemies as much as possible, today they are enemies, yesterday they may be neighbors, and tomorrow they may be colleagues and masters, so why do you have to work hard? But the swordsmen also have a bottom line, and the victory or defeat depends on strength, but the winner is usually merciful, and the loser will also retreat." ”

Kunshe took the blacksmith village and became famous, many merchants who originally belonged to the eldest young master were willing to defect to the tenth prince this time, and Gu Shenwei immediately encountered another trouble, which had nothing to do with the Qiu Society, it was caused by the twin brother of the tenth prince, Shangguan Fei.

The twins build a team of killers at the same time, which is unique in the history of Jinpeng Castle, so it is inevitable to compete for the inheritance of the eldest brother.

Shangguan Ru personally solved this matter, she invited her brother to come to the Beicheng mansion and negotiated with him seriously, as usual, her sister won a big victory, Shangguan Fei was so angry that he almost cried, he lost his temper that didn't work, and left with his hands, but he still gave up most of his interests.

At the end of this month, Gu Shenwei had enough silver to pay his subordinates, but the old capital of 20,000 taels was still reduced, and only 23 out of 10 merchants who were protected by the big young master in the past defected to the ten princes, and found various reasons to reduce the protection fee, Gu Shenwei calculated that he could only collect more than 10,000 taels per month, which was not enough to spend.

The end of the year is approaching, Biyu City is peaceful, the battle between the Kun Society and the Qiu Society has been a small fight so far, the residents inside and outside the city should be lively, Gu Shenwei is bent on provoking a fire, and there is always no appropriate excuse.

Entering the wax moon, the excuse was sent to the door.

The Xu sisters and brothers faithfully carried out the task of listening to intelligence, although most of the content was of little value, the two of them were happy to do it, and Gu Shenwei had been encouraging them, and finally one day, Xu Xiaoyi brought a piece of information that Gu Shenwei was interested in: the South Wall Tavern has changed its shopkeeper.

The new shopkeeper is not like a person from Nancheng, the sister and brother have never heard of it, but many people who save money in the shopkeeper Lu have been notified in advance and went to verify the amount of money with the new shopkeeper.

Xu Xiaoyi's ears were sharp enough, and he got the news three days in advance, Gu Shenwei immediately knew that something was wrong, this trick of changing the shopkeeper was aimed at himself, he originally wanted to take the swordsmen and killers to intimidate, but he had a new idea.

Early the next morning, he went to Beicheng to see the tenth prince, and first reported the financial situation clearly, saying that there was still a deficit every month, and as a solution, he would give away his master's inheritance.

Shangguan Ru was surprised, and Shangguan Yushi was very suspicious, but in the end he still accepted Huannu's kindness and loyalty, and insisted on taking the money as a loan.

Ten days later, a few days after the new shopkeeper of the South Wall Tavern took office, Gu Shenwei still had not received the notice of the appropriation, so he decided to go and ask for money.

Because of these 300,000 taels of silver, the first death-shrouded conflict broke out between the Kun Society and the Qiu Society, so that the residents of Biyu City, who were preparing to celebrate the New Year, suddenly understood that the game was turning into a tragedy.
