The carriage is very exquisite, the curtain is bright red, with gold and embroidered patterns on it.
The two horses pulling the cart are very strong, and they look like expensive horses at first glance.
The driver was a stout, middle-aged woman wearing coarse cloth, holding the reins in one hand and a whip in the other.
The soldier stopped the carriage and asked, and the coachman laughed in a rough voice: "You two military masters don't know each other? We just drank together a few days ago!"
The soldier chuckled and said, "It turns out to be Shopkeeper Shuangyu's carriage. I was mistaken!"
Make way for the carriage to drive into the city.
The wheels rolled over the brick-paved streets, and the ground was changed in color by dyes of various colors, the most common color being red.
The masonry was also crushed by the wheels and turned into gravel, leaving deep ruts.
After entering the city, the carriage slowed down and there were too many people on the street to dare to go fast.
Crossing the main street and turning into the small road in the south of the city, I saw a large cloth shop with four big characters written in red: Shuangyu Cloth Shop!
The carriage entered the cloth shop, and when the waiters inside saw the carriage, they all bowed and retreated.
The carriage stopped in the backyard. The driver got down, opened the curtain and said, "The shopkeeper is here!"
A woman about 35 years old, with brown-black hair styled into a ponytail, several gold hairpins stuck in the back of her head, and two exquisite earrings hanging from her earlobes.
She has a high nose, deep eye sockets, brown eyes, fair skin, graceful figure, feminine manners and the domineering air of a leader.
This person is Yan Shuangyu, the female shopkeeper of Shuangyu Cloth Store.
Yan Shuangyu got off the carriage, and a middle-aged man walked over quickly and whispered: "Shopkeeper, the guests are here. They are in the dyeing shop."
This middle-aged man is very tall, with a sinister look in his eyes and a beardless mouth.
This person is Yu Wenji, the steward of Shuangyu Buzhuang.
Yan Shuangyu walked quickly to the dyeing workshop, with Yu Wenji following behind. The groom stopped the carriage, untied the rope, led the horse to the stable to feed, and stood guard at the door.
The dyeing workshop is the important place of the cloth shop, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and there are assistants guarding the door.
Yan Shuangyu quickly walked to the door, took out a fox mask and put it on. When she entered, she saw five people sitting there, one of whom was Shen Wanjin.
Shen Wanjin was sitting at the head, and on the left sat a skinny old man. He looked about 60 years old, and his hands were like pine wood, which was a bit scary.
This person is Gan Xin, the daughter of the Western Xia Dynasty, wearing a gray mask on his face.
The structure of Wanjin Tower is divided into three floors, Wanjin Tower, Qianjin Hall and Baijin Pavilion.
Shen Wanjin is the boss and lives in the Wanjin Tower; below are the branches of various countries, called Qianjin Envoys; and below that are the Hundred Gold Envoys.
Gan Xin is the daughter of Xixia Qianjin Hall.
Sitting on the right is a middle-aged man, slightly chubby, wearing a smiling mask with two mustaches, resembling a small landowner.
This person is Qian Cheng, the daughter of Nanliang Qianjin Hall.
Next to Qian Cheng was an old woman with gray hair wrapped in a green scarf and a cane in her hand.
This person is Granny Li, the daughter of Nanliang Qianjin Hall, wearing a black mask.
Nanliang is a large place, so there are two Qianjin Halls, and the same is true here in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to Yan Shuangyu, there was also a Qianjin envoy in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, who was the man sitting next to Gan Xin.
This man is holding a folding fan and wearing gray clothes. He looks like a scholar.
This person's name is You Fengyi, and he wears a mask that looks like he's meditating.
Yan Shuangyu walked in quickly and bowed to Shen Wanjin: "Shuangyu is meeting the poster. I was late because I was delayed on the road. Please punish me."
Shen Wanjin smiled and said: "Sit down, you have a lot of business, it doesn't matter if you are late."
This Shuangyu Cloth Shop is very profitable. Shen Wanjin is very satisfied with Yan Shuangyu, so he doesn't mind her being late.
While the other Qianjin envoys were only good at assassination, Yan Shuangyu had a business acumen and made the cloth village that was originally a cover a success, earning Shen Wanjin a lot of money.
"Thank you, host."
Yan Shuangyu sat down next to Granny Li, the daughter of Nanliang.
When all five envoys from Wanjin Tower arrived, Shen Wanjin began.
"It's been a long time since we got together!"
Shen Wanjin spoke slowly.
Wanjinlou is an assassin organization. They generally do not meet each other and are not allowed to contact each other privately.
"We gathered together today to discuss a major matter."
The five envoys looked at Shen Wanjin, thinking that they were planning to assassinate a big shot.
Yan Shuangyu was wondering in her mind whether she wanted to assassinate a big fish like Long Chen again.
"A few days ago, I met with Long Chengen, and he proposed to cooperate with me."
Shen Wanjin glanced at the five people, his tone was neither urgent nor slow.
Yan Shuangyu was confused, was he going to assassinate the big fish in Nanliang?
"Long Chengen planned to destroy the Tianxiahui, but he was unable to do so and wanted to use the power of our Tianxiahui."
Shen Wanjin spoke every word very slowly, as if he was afraid that a few people would not be able to accept it.
Speaking of this, Gan Xin, the daughter of the Xixia branch, turned around and said: "Master, the world will be full of trees with deep roots. We won't be used as spearmen, right?"
Granny Li, a daughter of Nanliang, asked with a hoarse voice: "How much money can Long Chengen give us to deal with Tianxiahui?"
Qian Cheng, another daughter of Nanliang, asked: "Master, how much does Long Chengen pay for this business?"
Yan Shuangyu also looked at Shen Wanjin. She wanted to know what kind of conditions Long Chen offered to make Shen Wanjin fall in love!
Shen Wanjin summoned five envoys to discuss, which shows that he is tempted!
Shen Wanjin said in a calm tone: "All the properties of the Tianxiahui in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty belong to us!"
There was silence in the room, and the five people stopped talking.
The five people all wore masks, so their expressions could not be seen, but it could be seen from their body movements that everyone was surprised.
You Fengyi, the daughter of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty wearing a mask of contemplation, said slowly: "Master, is Long Chengen capable of destroying Tianxiahui?"
Shen Wanjin nodded and said: "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has a strong military, but Long Chengen is very cunning and ruthless."
"With our help, it will be no problem to destroy the forces of the Tianxiahui in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"
"Dong Zhou is the main force in this operation, we only assist."
Shen Wanjin calculated very clearly that the one facing him head-on was Dong Zhou, and Wan Jinlou would only assist in the assassination. With Dong Zhou's current strength and Long Chen's ability, this matter should be possible.
You Fengyi asked again: "If Long Chengen can destroy Tianxiahui, will he also attack us afterwards? Kill the donkey!"
The other four envoys looked at Shen Wanjin.
The conditions given by Long Chen were very attractive, and the property of the Tianxiahui in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was worth tens of millions.
But if Long Chen dares to attack Tianxiahui, he dares to attack Wanjin Tower. Be careful of being raised as a New Year pig.
"I have also thought about this issue. If Long Chengen crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, what will we do?"
"We can't make Long Chengen promise not to do anything to us. Even if he signs a document in person, he can still regret it."
"But having said that, what can we do without risk? Even if we accept a business, there is still a risk of loss."
As an assassin, you both buy and sell your life. When you assassinate others, you also run the risk of being killed.
Everyone knows this very well.
"This is my thinking. I regard this cooperation as a big deal. After destroying the Tianxiahui, we will transfer all the property and money of the Tianxiahui. At least we can guarantee the bottom line."
"Then, if Long Chengen keeps his word, we will continue to cooperate and occupy Tianxiahui's property to make money; if Long Chengen regrets, we will fight back and hide in the dark again."
This was Shen Wanjin's calculation, and he took the worst case scenario into consideration.
But even considering the worst-case scenario, this cooperation is not a loss.
