In the arena, if two people have never fought against each other, usually no one on either side would dare to say they will win. Yun Zheng's understanding of this is: This is like Shangguan Jinghong to Li Xunhuan. One ranks second in the weapon spectrum, and the other ranks third. However,
However, Li Xunhuan finally hit Shangguan Jinghong's throat with his flying knife. Sometimes the competition is not only about martial arts, but also about state of mind. For example, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are not necessarily weaker than Luohua Chuixue.
On that full moon night, on the top of the Forbidden City, Lord Baiyun's state of mind was not as calm as that of Ximen Chuixue, so he was defeated.
Of course, this inference is generally limited to two people with a small difference in strength. You can't challenge Shangguan Jinghong or Ye Gucheng with a guy who is just a sidekick in the world, because no matter how good the mood of the sidekick is, Shangguan Gang leader and Baiyun
How messed up the city lord's mood is, there is no way for the two sides to compete. The gap in strength between them is too big.
People say that absolute strength can ignore conspiracy. In the same way, absolute strength can also ignore mood.
Yun Zheng has not fought against the Purple Swordsman, and does not even have any opponent to refer to, so naturally he can only answer Lin Xi's question by saying "I don't know."
Song Tieshan originally planned to say that the purple-clothed swordsman was slightly better than him, but then he thought about it. Doesn't this mean that he has to fight against Marshal Yun once to determine the purple-clothed swordsman's strength? Although he also has a lot of respect for this young marshal.
I am very curious about his strength, but if I really fight with him, I am a big man in the world. I will lose face if I lose, but if I win... it will be even worse, so I still don’t want it.
Zuo Dongming thought for a while and suddenly said: "When Shenquan Castle and Guxin Pavilion took action in Miyun, it was in September last year, and the child was injured by Guxin Pavilion in November. Is it possible that -
The purple-clothed swordsman who attacked Guxin Pavilion twice was actually the same person, and the hibiscus embroidered on his chest was done deliberately by them. The purpose was to confuse us and make us mistakenly think that Guxin Pavilion was so powerful and undermine our morale.
, thus having doubts about defeating them.”
Lin Xi smiled and said: "This is very insightful."
Yun Zheng also nodded and said: "Although I don't know the whole story, but it does sound very reasonable. This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Song Tieshan thought for a while and said: "That is to say, the swordsman in purple first attacked our Divine Fist Castle in Shandong, and then rushed to Zhongzhou to fight with Master Zuo Shaomen? But how did he know in advance that Master Zuo Shaomen would attack in a sneak attack?
Their new branch in Caizhou?"
Only then did Yun Zheng know that it turned out that Zuo Dongming's son had one of his hands cut off by the swordsman in purple because they first went to sneak attack his new branch in Caizhou, huh? Caizhou? It turns out that Caizhou entered Henan from Hubei.
Bridgehead, Gu Xin Pavilion has established a new branch in Caizhou, and it is naturally regarded as "overtaking" by the Storm Sect. The Storm Sect is probably used to being arrogant in Henan, and without saying a word, they directly lead people to cause trouble, and the result was unexpected
The people who watch the scene are very good. Not to mention the failure to smash the scene, the eldest brother who led the team had one of his hands cut off. Well, tmmd, this world is very similar to Young and Dangerous. But if something like this happened to Young and Dangerous,
Does the Storm Gate have to go to Caizhou again to get the place back? Otherwise, the Storm Gate has lost such a big face in Caizhou, and I'm afraid it won't be able to stay in that place anymore.
Zuo Dongming blushed, snorted, and said: "They built a new branch in Caizhou, so they naturally have to send capable experts to suppress the battle. It seems that we, the Rainstorm Sect, were careless. We should have known that there would be such experts in Caizhou.
, why should we send two more hall masters there, ugh."
Lin Xi said: "Mr. Zuo, there is no need to regret. Although we are disappointed with the defeat this time, Guxin Pavilion is not without its weaknesses."
Zuo Dongming and Song Tieshan's eyes lit up at the same time. Song Tieshan said happily: "Could it be that the prince has a clever plan?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes and glanced at Lin Xi without saying a word.
Lin Xi chuckled and walked around: "Although I don't know much about Guxin Pavilion, there are two things that are certain. One is that their official path is not smooth, at least they don't have much energy at the top of the court, otherwise
I don’t know that the second thing is that Guxin Pavilion is developing too fast. Maybe their strength is not weak and they have quite a lot of masters. However, because they develop too fast and expand their territory too fast, so the masters will
Gradually we can no longer concentrate in one place. With these two points, we can come up with a solution."
Zuo Dongming's eyes lit up, but Song Tieshan asked: "Since their official path is blocked, why doesn't the prince just seal up their hall?"
The so-called Tangkou refers to the industry. Don’t look at the heroes in martial arts novels who are not short of money. In fact, no matter whether you are a commoner or a hero, you have to spend money on food and clothing. Where does the money come from? Money will never fall from the sky.
So no matter how heroic you are, you still have to make money when it’s time to make money
For some small sects with relatively large limitations, collecting protection fees from merchants can be considered a way, but this way is actually not very profitable. Although business in this era does not seem to be subject to big restrictions, at least it is less restrictive than Yunzheng's impression.
The Qing Dynasty in China was much better, but after all, this was not an era of commercial explosion. It was impossible to achieve anything just by collecting protection fees from some merchants, because it was impossible to collect too much money - too many people could not survive.
It would be bad if things got serious.
Therefore, the big sects will generally not do this business. Usually, they will have their own industries.
For example, Rainstorm Gate's industry is the rice cloth business, while Shenquan Castle operates docks and casinos (casinos are legal)
The reason why Gu Xin Pavilion was boycotted by them was firstly because of the regional views of Jianghu people, and secondly mainly because of economic reasons. Apart from brothels, Gu Xin Pavilion was engaged in almost all kinds of businesses. This left the Storm Clan and Shen Fist.
Bao is unhappy - aren't you destroying our jobs?
After listening to Song Tieshan's words, Lin Xi shook his head and said: "Shut them up? Yes, a newly rising Jianghu power must have done something inconsistent with the laws of the Wei Dynasty. It is not difficult at all to find a crime for them and shut them down.
But it has no effect. If I close down one family today, can’t they open another one tomorrow? I can’t just pay attention to this Guxin Pavilion every day, so closing down is not a good idea.”
Zuo Dongming tried to ask: "What does the prince mean, Jianghu affairs, Jianghu affairs?"
"Of course, as long as the Jianghu Office does not commit a huge case that shocked the world like Jiangning this time, I will take care of it for you in Luoyang," Lin Xi said calmly.
