"I wonder, Brother Zhuang, what kind of business do you want to do with me?"
Li Heng put down the wine jar and began to stare at Zhuang Zhengjie seriously for the first time. At the same time, he was really curious about what Zhuang Zhengjie's so-called business was.
At the right time, Zhuang Zhengjie also put down the wine jar in his hand. Without any particularity, he wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his right hand and said loudly: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry! I concealed something before. Now I would like to formally introduce you, Zhuang Zhengjie.
The sixth son of the owner of Mengshan Villa! For the time being, he is half the owner of Mengshan Villa."
As soon as Zhuang Zhengjie finished speaking, a look of shock appeared on the face of the guard Ah Si who was behind the two of them. He even couldn't help but look at Zhuang Zhengjie again.
After all, from Ah Si's original perspective, this Zhuang Zhengjie is nothing more than a soul master scholar. There is nothing good about him. He can be said to be dressed as an ordinary person. If this person didn't have a realm here, he would probably
Ah Si will treat Zhuang Zhengjie completely as a passerby.
Who would have thought of the Sixth Young Master returning to Mengshan Villa!
Furthermore, Huimengshan Villa was more or less a powerful force in the Yongle Dynasty. Even if he was a commoner, he should pay special attention to it. At least he should pay attention to his appearance, but this Zhuang Zhengjie was so low-key that he was a little confused.
Li Heng, on the other hand, had no emotions in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little, because from the first moment he saw Zhuang Zhengjie, he knew Zhuang Zhengjie's identity clearly, without any concealment or omission.
Although he knew what was going on in his heart, Li Hengming still pretended to be surprised. After all, others were forcing him to pretend, so he still had to give some face.
So Li Heng showed a look of surprise at first, and then replied very calmly: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhuang turned out to be the owner of Huimeng Villa. But Brother Zhuang... you are unjust!"
"It's my fault! I really shouldn't hide my identity!"
"That's not what I'm talking about. I apologized at a banquet but you didn't drink a drop of it. This can't be justified at all!"
"Hahahaha! Brother Lu is right! This is my apology! It's polite!"
"I'll accompany you!"
When Zhuang Zhengjie picked up the wine jar, Li Heng took the initiative to invite him to drink it, and drank it all in one gulp while he was still strong.
However, after drinking this wine, Zhuang Zhengjie's face had turned slightly red, as if he was a little tipsy, while Li Heng's face looked normal, as if he had always drank plain water.
After two bottles of wine, Zhuang Zhengjie was the first to open the topic: "Let me talk about this business first. It is very likely to lose your head. If Brother Lu is unwilling to do this business with me, then just pretend that we have never met.
Yes. If Brother Lu agrees, then from now on, we will be friends of life and death! We are brothers and sisters!"
"Brother Zhuang, please tell me!"
Zhuang Zhengjie did not speak immediately, but looked at the guard Ah Si and moved his eyes. The meaning was very obvious, hoping that Li Heng would let Ah Si leave.
But Li Heng waved his hand: "He and Xiaojiu are both our own! Brother Zhuang, it doesn't matter! And if I really want to reveal something, it will be useless for you to separate Ah Si alone!"
Zhuang Zhengjie pondered for a moment, then stopped paying attention to Ah Si and said in a low voice: "Yongle Imperial Guard - Black Wolf Army!"
What's the meaning?
Listening to Zhuang Zhengjie's seriousness, Li Heng didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all. It's not that he didn't want to have any fluctuations, but that he really didn't understand these guards.
On the contrary, the guard Ah Si who was standing on the side changed his expression immediately when he heard Zhuang Zhengjie say this. He didn't even control it and said directly: "Mr. Zhuang! The temple of our Qianjin Chamber of Commerce is too small. It is really difficult to accept it."
I can’t do this business! I hope...I hope Mr. Zhuang will be considerate!"
After Ah Si finished speaking to Zhuang Zhengjie, he looked at Li Heng and made a tentative inquiry to Li Heng: "Young master..."
Li Heng said nothing for the first time.
Zhuang Zhengjie also didn't speak, and he didn't even look at Ah Si, who was in charge of Ah Si's realm of soul master.
The atmosphere at this time seemed a bit awkward. None of the three people spoke, and it was a bit too quiet. Even the sound that echoed in their ears was only the evening breeze whistling through the mountains.
After about ten seconds, Li Heng saw that the atmosphere was a bit elusive, so he couldn't hold back and said, "Brother Zhuang, please tell me carefully."
"Young master! This..."
"Hahaha! Brother Lu is indeed an interesting person! I will respect you again!"
When Li Heng asked further, Ah Si was completely shocked. Even after calling out the three young masters, he didn't know what to say next, but his overall condition was much worse than before.
It was like he was frightened by something.
When Li Heng arrived here, he also felt that the "Yongle Guards" mentioned by Zhuang Zhengjie should be some kind of taboo. If he got involved with these things, his life would be in danger.
Even a soul master at the soul master level seems to be scared to death. You can imagine how big the risk is here.
Li Heng has always been afraid of death. If it were in a secret realm or reality, when the topic came to this, let alone doing business, I'm afraid he wouldn't come here to drink.
But this is a dungeon. Li Heng doesn't care whether it's dangerous or not. Whether it's a beheading or a life-threatening situation, just let him go.
"Ah Si! You are mine! This is the first and last time you will be embarrassed outside...understand?"
Since he is not afraid of death, he must be pretending to be more in-depth. Anyway, now that things have happened, Li Heng really wants to know how "daring" the business Zhuang Zhengjie mentioned is. He is so scared that just a name will make Ah Si
Terrified.
Seeing that his young master looked like he had made a decision, Ah Si felt a little bit in his heart, but soon became silent and quiet, then lowered his head and apologized: "Young Master! It was Ah Si who talked too much. This is the last time he made a mistake.
,I will not do it again!"
Li Heng nodded slightly and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhuang Zhengjie also smiled softly: "Although I don't know much about the Qianjin Chamber of Commerce, at least one thing should be clear. I wonder if there are 300,000 people... can the Qianjin Chamber of Commerce be able to absorb it?"
"Three hundred thousand people are Yongle Imperial Guards?" Li Heng asked subconsciously.
It's a good thing that Li Heng didn't ask further questions. This question almost caused the wine in Zhuang Zhengjie's mouth to spit out, and Ah Si on the side also froze, as if he couldn't stand still.
Zhuang Zhengjie swallowed the wine in his mouth first, and then said: "Brother Lu, you are joking! Three hundred thousand Yongle guards, let alone you and me. Even if there are ten or a hundred more, you and I can't eat it."
Walking around, no matter how many heads there are, it won’t be enough to cut off! But Brother Lu’s courage... I think it is indeed much greater than mine!"
Li Hengqian smiled and said nothing, but continued to wait for Zhuang Zhengjie's next words. The latter also adjusted his words before speaking again.
"Brother Lu! There are 300,000 people, including refugees from the Yongle Dynasty, victims of the Meteor Dynasty, slaves from the Dark Night Dynasty, and no less than five thousand Black Wolf Army!"
"Five thousand black wolf troops?" Li Heng suddenly grasped the key point and deliberately asked it alone.
"Yes! Five thousand Black Wolf Army! Every one of them was discharged from the army abnormally. Don't ask about the specific reasons! But I can guarantee that at least every one of them is a Soul Lord, and there are even a few half-step Soul Emperors!
"
Five thousand soul troops!
And he is a well-trained soldier!
What's this?
Jun fire!
What’s even more special is the highly lethal gun fire!
Not to mention anything else, just turning this group of black wolf troops into bandits is a force that cannot be ignored, and maybe it can directly become a force!
And there is a population of nearly 300,000...
After all this calculation, is this a city?
Li Heng was analyzing in his mind, and then couldn't help but fell silent. He had no choice but to remain silent. This was indeed a big deal, and he didn't know how to deal with it anyway.
"So... what is Brother Zhuang going to do?" Li Heng really didn't know, so he decided to ask the question.
Zhuang Zhengjie: "I want to build a city! Just use these 300,000 people and the Black Wolf Army of Yongle Imperial Guard to build a city!"
Built the city?!
Li Heng continued to listen.
"I'm not short of metal, wood, stone and building materials! But I can't take too much food and some necessary supplies at once! And 300,000 people are a bit too much for me! So Brother Lu...
…Can your chamber of commerce support a hundred thousand people? As a trade, I need food and medicine!”
"Ah Si! Go and find Xiaojiu!"
When Li Heng heard this, he roughly understood what Zhuang Zhengjie meant by transaction, but he didn't know much about it, and the previous "human resources business" was all discussed by Xiaojiu, so at this time Li Heng asked Ah Si to go
Call Xiaojiu over.
Li Heng didn't take this business too seriously, but took advantage of the time when Ah Si went to find Xiao Jiu to chat with Zhuang Zhengjie for some "gossip".
It was also through these gossips that Li Heng gradually understood how involved Zhuang Zhengjie's so-called business was!
Zhuang Zhengjie wanted to build a private city behind the Yongle Dynasty’s back!
It is a city built by private individuals that is not known to the Yongle Dynasty and is not included in the territory of the Yongle Dynasty!
But in the Yongle Dynasty, when a city was built privately... the lighter version would involve all kinds of torture and severe punishment, until the person was tortured to the last breath before killing him, and the more severe punishment would involve the execution of the whole family and so on.
When Li Heng originally wanted to ask Zhuang Zhengjie if you were not afraid of hurting your family, Zhuang Zhengjie took the initiative to speak.
"When my father was alive, he was sent to a remote area and was not reused. Now that my father is gone...he returns to Mengshan Villa and wishes that I would die soon!"
"So when I have this opportunity, I want to give it a try! I will be the lord of a city myself! And I have the opportunity... to turn this private city into a free city! By then... I, Zhuang Zhengjie, not counting me, will be in this world
What a waste of time!"
"And I've thought about it, even if I die, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this time around Mengshan Villa, I won't be able to find a good way out! It's not like I'm going to fight while I still have the energy! What do you think, Brother Lu?"
…
Li Heng understood, and the whole story was almost smoothed out.
Zhuang Zhengjie found resources from nowhere and brought in a population of 300,000, as well as the Black Wolf Army of 5,000 Yongle Imperial Guards. In his words, they were all discharged from the army in an irregular manner, so he should be ignored for the time being.
Then he transferred 100,000 people to Li Heng, because the Qianjin Chamber of Commerce was secretly doing the population business, and they didn't want a penny, they wanted food and medicinal materials.
Finally, a city was built with a population of 200,000 and an army of 5,000 black wolves!
And it is said that there is still a chance to develop into a free city!
A free city is a city that is not managed by any dynasty, but recognized by all dynasties!
If it succeeds, he will be the lord of the city, with overwhelming power within the city, and there will be no need to worry about returning to Mengshan Villa.
If it fails, at worst he will die, and judging from his tone, it seems that he wants to drag the people back to Mengshan Villa to the execution ground together.
Li Heng learned that although Zhuang Zhengjie only wore ordinary scholar clothes, he was a real outstanding person!
But great people return to great people!
Li Heng always felt that he was being dragged onto a pirate ship!
Because his family's population business seems to be supported by the Yongle Dynasty, and now he wants to play with fire by following a "rebel"?
And if you don’t play well, it will explode!
…
"Brother Lu! Although the road is difficult! But I am 40% sure that I can pull this city up! If you can do this business with me, I will be 60%... or even 70% sure!"
You are so rude!
Li Heng calmed down and roughly understood the meaning. Although doing business didn't matter, he still couldn't help but ask more: "Brother Zhuang's arrogance, Lu admires it! I can eat these 100,000 people, and the food and medicinal materials can also...
…but…what conditions?”
"Hahaha! This city is built! I will be the city lord! Brother Lu will be the deputy city lord! I can command a thousand black wolf troops for you!"
To be honest, if Li Heng was born and raised in Fuzhou, he would probably be deep in thought at this time. After all, this business involves too much, and if he can't handle it, he will be gone.
But Li Heng just came in to play a role, and left after acting for a while. Most of the time, he didn't need to think about the future, he just looked at the present!
So thinking of this, Li Heng picked up a jar of wine and didn't drink it in a hurry. He just held it halfway and said calmly: "Not enough!"
Zhuang Zhengjie fell silent at the right time, his eyes seemed to be filled with light, and he stared at Li Heng closely.
But Li Heng was unhurried: "Lu is not as heroic as Brother Zhuang, and has no interest in the population, the city, or the Black Wolf Army! If Brother Zhuang is serious about it, it would be good to give me the idle position of deputy city lord after he succeeds.
, but I don’t want to take care of any of those thousand black wolf troops!”
Hearing this, the light in Zhuang Zhengjie's eyes dissipated, and he looked at Li Heng's eyes returning to their previous state, and then asked tentatively: "What does Brother Lu... want?"
Li Heng did not hesitate and did not hide anything: "The treasures of Huimeng Villa! Whether it is soul skills, soul items or soul pets, as long as it is detrimental to Brother Zhuang, I want them all! And I am in a hurry! Or
... Let me put it simply, for example, if any of your brothers or sisters wants to kill you, apart from the fact that I am not interested in his life, I want all the things I just said! And I personally feel... this time
The Heroes Conference is an opportunity...I wonder what Brother Zhuang thinks?"
As soon as Li Heng finished speaking, Zhuang Zhengjie suddenly burst out with murderous intent, and he asked directly at Li Heng: "Brother Lu! Does this mean you want my brothers to kill each other? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
Pack!
Just hardcover!!
Li Heng watched. After he finished saying this, the name on Zhuang Zhengjie's head turned completely green. At this time, the other party's verbal threats seemed very weak...
So he calmly said: "Hahaha! I am a businessman! If Brother Zhuang thinks this business can be done, how about you and I drink from it again? I, Lu, will do it first as a courtesy!"
