"Ji Ba, the president of Tianxiahui, attacked me in a sneak attack and I was seriously injured. Xixia and Nanliang took the opportunity to besiege me. We lost almost 60,000 yuan in Caishi City and almost 20,000 yuan in Jade Buddha Pass."
"But it would be wrong to say that I am the one who suffers the most."
"Below Caishi City, nearly 300,000 people were killed in Nanliang, and nearly 70,000 people were killed in Xixia, Guanxixia, the Jade Buddha. They died even more."
"Also, Xixia has compensated 3 million gold coins, so I won't lose any money."
"As for Ji Ba who attacked me secretly, he was also seriously injured by me and almost became a eunuch like me."
Shen Wanjin insisted that Long Chen could not defeat Tianxiahui and wanted to lure Wanjin downstairs.
Long Chen must refute this view and show his strength.
This is cooperation, not begging. Both sides have strength and benefit from both sides.
Shen Wanjin was slightly surprised and asked, "The person who assassinated you was Ji Ba, the president of the Tianxia Association?"
Shen Wanjin thought he was an expert within the Tianxiahui, but he didn't expect the president to take action himself.
"Yes, this guy thought he could succeed, but he was seriously injured by me. It can only be said that both sides suffered losses, and I suffered no loss."
Hei Feng, who was standing behind him, had a look of surprise on his face. He heard that the president of the Tianxiahui was highly cultivated and could not kill Long Chen personally.
Shen Wanjin looked at Long Chen suspiciously and asked, "I heard that you and the elders of the Tianxiahui also took action?"
Long Chen told the truth: "Yes, when we were in Sifang Building, I negotiated with the Tianxiahui. The first elder and the second elder were the representatives. The negotiation didn't go well at the beginning, and I passed a trick."
Shen Wanjin asked: "What's the result?"
Long Chen put down the tea cup, spread out his hands, and said with a smile: "You have seen that I am still alive, and living well."
Shen Wanjin's face twitched and he smiled dryly: "It's good to be able to escape from the two elders alive and negotiate the terms..."
Suddenly, Shen Wanjin smashed the cup in his hand towards his face, followed closely by his fist, hitting Long Chen in the face.
The shock turned sudden, and Long Chen was taken aback. He didn't expect Shen Wanjin to have a sudden attack, and he hurriedly punched Shen Wanjin.
boom!
Long Chen was so shaken that he flew up from his stool and landed a few meters away. Shen Wanjin was also shaken so much that he took a dozen steps back before he could stabilize his body.
"What do you mean!"
Long Chen roared.
A burst of arrows were fired from the surrounding archers. Long Chen turned sharply to avoid the arrows and pounced on Shen Wanjin again.
Heifeng drew his sword and stood in front of Shen Wanjin, ready for a fight to the death.
The female shopkeeper also rushed out of the cabin, holding a dagger and preparing to attack Long Chen from the side.
"stop!"
Shen Wanjin shouted angrily, and the crossbowman stopped.
Long Chen also stopped and confronted Shen Wanjin with a distance of three meters.
"You want to kill me!"
Long Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, ready to fight to the death at any time.
Shen Wanjin waved his hand, and Heifeng and the female shopkeeper retreated.
"Don't misunderstand Dazhu Guo. Please sit down. I just want to test whether what you said is true or false."
Shen Wanjin smiled and sat down again, but Long Chen remained on alert and refused to sit down.
"What's the meaning?"
Shen Wanjin chuckled and said, "You said you seriously injured Ji Ba and even fought to a draw with the two elders. I don't believe it."
"However, with that punch just now, I believe you have the strength."
Long Chen looked surprised, and did not completely believe Shen Wanjin's words.
"That's it?"
Shen Wanjin smiled dryly and said: "If I really wanted to kill you, I should have done it in the sedan chair."
This is true. When he was in the sedan chair, more than a dozen random knives were stabbed into him, and Long Chen became a sieve.
"Your beautiful concubine is inside, you are reluctant to do anything."
Long Chen deliberately glanced at the female shopkeeper.
Shen Wanjin sneered: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Do you believe this?"
In order to kill Long Chen, it doesn't matter if a beautiful concubine dies.
Of course Long Chen knew this truth, and he deliberately told the female shopkeeper.
The female shopkeeper's expression was as usual and she didn't react. When the fight between the two parties stopped, she turned around and went back to the cabin. She took out two more cups and put them on the table, and poured another cup of tea for Shen Wanjin and Long Chen.
"So, the poster now believes what I said?"
Long Chen slowly sat down and found that there were more assassins ambushing around.
Obviously, the conflict just now aroused vigilance, and the assassin who was hiding in secret also came out.
"I believe what you said for the time being. You injured Ji Ba and you tied with the two elders. You have the strength."
"But why should I cooperate with you."
Shen Wanjin drank a cup of tea and poured himself another cup. Seeing that Long Chen's tea was not touched, Shen Wanjin smiled and said, "This tea is not poisonous."
Long Chen glanced at the tea cup and said: "Let's talk about me first. Lord Shen also saw it. I fought in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty increased a lot. The world will be afraid that I will destroy the balance of power in the world and want to kill me, so Then there is the matter of Ji Ba assassinating me."
Shen Wanjin nodded slightly, he knew these things.
When he heard that Long Chen was assassinated by Tianxiahui, Shen Wanjin guessed the reason.
"Later, the Tianxiahui failed to assassinate me, and they thought I was about to die, so they paid for my life instead. Things from the Ministry of Industry were sold to the Tianxiahui for free in exchange for my survival."
Shen Wanjin put down the tea cup in his hand. He didn't know this matter.
"The Ministry of Industry has many products, and the price is not low."
"I heard that you gave Tianxiahui a new product, called Yuluxiang."
Shen Wanjin felt a little emotional, it was so easy to make money in the world.
"Yes, I also gave them the crystal manufacturing technology, but even so, the World Association is still not satisfied."
"So, I made up my mind to eradicate the Tianxiahui!"
Long Chen's tone was decisive, with an angry look on his face.
Shen Wanjin glanced at Long Chen, he knew how much Long Chen hated Tianxiahui.
"I also assassinated you, you don't want to seek revenge from me?"
Shen Wanjin said coldly.
Long Chen was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Master Shen, there is no need to test. You took Nanliang's money to assassinate me. This is a business; you took my money and assassinated Li Yuanji. This is also a business."
"I have no personal grudge against the poster. If I don't have money, will you kill me?"
Shen Wanjin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The Dazhu Kingdom is a true hero if it thinks like this, unlike some people who keep looking for us for revenge after being killed by us."
"As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner. We just collect money to do things. If we want revenge, we should go to the sponsor."
Shen Wanjin said it a little aggrievedly, as if their murder was purely official.
Long Chen nodded and expressed his agreement: "Wanjin Tower is open for business and has nothing to do with grudges."
Shen Wanjin took another sip of tea and slowly turned the iron bladder in his hand.
"You want to eradicate the Tianxiahui. How many troops do you have? Does the Empress agree?"
In the final analysis, Long Chen is just a minister. To deal with Tianxiahui, I am afraid that the entire Zhou Dynasty will need to be mobilized.
If the empress doesn't agree, Long Chen's strength is definitely not enough.
Long Chen smiled and said, "If the Holy One doesn't agree, do I dare to do this?"
"The Tianxiahui instigated Nanliang and Xixia to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing numerous casualties to our officers and men in the Great Zhou Dynasty. They also threatened me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, to return to the Zhenguo Temple. The Holy Lord hated the Tianxiahui."
"Not only I, Dazhou, but also Nanliang and Xixia also hate Tianxiahui, but there is nothing they can do."
