"Who's the most popular candidate in Jianlu right now?"
Lü Shu asked Yi Qian as he sat by the campfire after the caravan had set up camp on the main road. The caravan was clearly divided into three groups. One group consisted of Sun Zhongyang and the others from King City. They had gathered together to discuss matters. The Sun and Mo families had decided to investigate this ambush to the end. Those who dared to ambush the wealthy families of King City had to pay the price.
Xu Mujun had unexpectedly disappeared from the caravan. No one had even noticed when Xu Mujun had left. At this time, Sun Zhongyang and the others even suspected that Xu Mujun had cooperated with the others to kill them.
Now that they thought about it, did that Lelu already know that there was something wrong with this Xu Mujun? Was that why he purposely disgust her?
But to be honest, Sun Zhongyang and the others were overthinking this. Lü Shu had taken Xu Mujun's "life savings" not to disgust anyone, but to ask for money …
The other group consisted of Song Bo's slaves. They packed their luggage and goods, served the King City's disciples, and then stood guard at the side silently. It was as if the people who had died earlier had nothing to do with them, and they didn't care about the dangers in the future.
The restriction of personal freedom would inevitably lead to a decrease in one's enthusiasm for life. This was the reason why Lü Shu didn't want to become Wu Weijun's slave master. He felt that only when Wu Weijun's soldiers saw their own future and were willing to imagine their own future, could Wu Weijun have a future.
The last group consisted of Lü Shu, Lü Xiaoyu, and Yi Qian. They seemed to be somewhat out of place in the caravan. Lv Shu had no intention of having too deep of a relationship with the Sun family. He only needed to enter the Sword Hut safely and find a way home. As for the open and secret struggles of the wealthy families in the Royal City, it had nothing to do with him.
He used Sun Zhongyang and the others to eliminate the opponents recommended by Jianlu. It wasn't that he couldn't make a move himself, but rather that he didn't want to expose himself to others when he didn't understand the situation.
However, he didn't think that this method was a long-term solution. As the saying goes, things should not happen more than three times. Not counting the first time he caught a thief, Sun Zhongyang and the others would definitely suspect his motives after two more times.
Not only were Sun Zhongyang and the others not stupid, but they were also very smart.
They didn't hesitate to attack because the disciples of Royal City were used to being high and mighty. No matter how reasonable a great hedonist was, he was still a hedonist. Therefore, many people felt that Sun Zhongyang was easy to talk to, but when they were really on a different level, they would deeply feel the superiority that Sun Zhongyang and the others gave off.
Therefore, in this situation, Lü Shu had to use all the good steel on the blade. He couldn't make use of Sun Zhongyang and the others many times, so he had to use it on the most troublesome candidates recommended by Jianlu …
Yi Qian thought about it and said, "Currently, many of the candidates recommended by Jianlu have already gathered in King City. Boss, if you need specific information, I'll have to make a trip out."
Although Yi Qian knew a lot of information, the Jianlu Recommendation had nothing to do with him. Many people would collect information on all the candidates, just like how they would watch the World Cup on Earth. Then, everyone would pay attention to this grand event, and the gambling dens in King City were all doing this.
However, Yi Qian wasn't someone who had nothing better to do. Every day, he had to consider life and death. How could he have the time to pay attention to something like the Jianlu Recommendation? Therefore, if he wanted specific information, Yi Qian had to specially buy it.
Lü Shu nodded. "If you want to buy it, you have to buy the most accurate information. Then, you have to follow up with the gambling dens in King City …"
"Boss, aren't you very familiar with the gambling dens in King City?" Yi Qian asked curiously. Speaking of which, he had been paying attention to the war in the south because the Qing Fortress Army had merged with Wu Weijun. Therefore, he was very clear about how much wealth his king had collected through this war …
At that time, the mercenary group was shocked. No one had expected that there could be so many tricks in a war. How was that a war? It was just picking up money …
But to be honest, his king was really bold. That kind of thing, if he played it well, it would be a story, but if he didn't, it would be called an accident …
At this time, Yi Qian inadvertently looked at Lü Xiaoyu. He was suddenly a little curious about what kind of role Lü Xiaoyu was. Although their Mituryū Kanao was very close to the Divine King, he still didn't know as much as a puppeteer.
Yi Qian had guessed Lü Xiaoyu's identity. Sometimes, he would think, was this the new puppeteer? Or was it a higher existence?
Before Lü Shu broke through, Yi Qian understood that Lü Xiaoyu must have a very high position beside Lü Shu. Moreover, the domineering aura that the little girl displayed at that moment made Yi Qian unwilling to look at it directly. That was not what a little girl of her age should have.
At that time, Lü Xiaoyu's eyes were calm as if saying, "Even if you want to die, you have to do it the way I say."
At this time, Yi Qian thought about the three threats he felt around him at that time, and he seemed to have a new guess in his heart.
Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya sat by the campfire. Mo Xiaoya said in a low voice, "There must be something wrong with that Lü Xiaoya. He recruited such a fierce mercenary group just like that. Does he think we're idiots?"
"You can't say that." Sun Zhongyang thought about it and said, "If you were a character like Yi Qian and found out that you could ride on the coattails of Jianlu's back mountain, wouldn't you? I want to ride on it anyway. "
"I don't want to ride on it," Mo Xiaoya said coldly.
"That's because you don't lack it in your current environment. You still can't put yourself in their shoes and think about this problem," Sun Zhongyang said.
"I think we should still listen to what they're saying. Although the family's experts are already here, we still have to be careful," Mo Xiaoya said. "Lin Lin, sneak over. Remember, don't look at them directly, or you'll be discovered."
…
Lü Shu glanced at Yi Qian. He felt that he needed to buy his new subordinate's heart. He couldn't just take away all his money the moment he joined him, right? So Lü Shu said, "How much money do you have left? You don't have to give it to me. Keep it for yourself to bet at the gambling house in the capital. "
Yi Qian made a rough calculation and said, "I still have 60 million here."
"Pfft!" Lü Shu was drinking water, and he spat it out. He spoke too early!
Previously, as a commander of the Qing Fortress Army, Liu Yizhao only saved two million after more than ten years, so Lü Shu thought that no matter how rich this Yi Qian was, he wouldn't be richer than him. In the end, he realized that this Yi Qian was the real money-maker!
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lü Shu knew where his thinking went wrong. Liu Yizhao saved less money because he had been paying for the Qing Fortress Army with his own money, but Yi Qian didn't.
Moreover, what Yi Qian did was more profitable than what Liu Yizhao and the rest did. Although Liu Yizhao could collect taxes from Nan Geng City, there were rich and poor people in the city. Nan Geng City's soil wasn't fertile, and it was located at the border, so there wasn't much money at all. If the City Lord had more thoughts, the people wouldn't be able to survive.
