"I also think our Young Marshal should be ranked first. Just look at the other supernatural beings. I've never heard of anyone taking the head of the enemy's general while surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, right?" The residents on the road said excitedly, "The Zhou Clan was one of the three largest consortiums in the Central Plains, but what happened in the end? They were still easily taken down by the Young Marshal! "
Of course, the Zhou Clan would definitely not be taken down by Ren Xiaosu. Although three of their leaders had died, someone else had already replaced them. Although a series of internal power struggles had started, at least they had not collapsed yet.
But the people in the Northwest liked to say this. In their opinion, after the Zhou Clan went through this ordeal, it was only a matter of time before they were annexed by the Wang Clan.
If it were anywhere else, Ren Xiaosu would just be a normal supernatural being. Everyone's impression of him would be, "Wow, he's so powerful. But will it really be alright for him to assassinate so many big shots of the consortiums?"
But it was different in the Northwest. "As expected of our Young Marshal!"
When the Soong Clan ruled the Northwest, the people's hearts were already biased toward Fortress 178. In the early years, many people even secretly fled there.
Now that Fortress 178 had taken over all the strongholds in the Northwest, everyone saw that their lives were getting better, so they naturally regarded themselves as members of Fortress 178. They even started to feel a sense of belonging.
This list was still a little inaccurate. For example, Luo Lan knew that Li Shentan would not be able to hypnotize Ren Xiaosu. Furthermore, Zhou Yingxue's ranking was a little too low.
This was because Zhou Yingxue had not made many moves before. When she made her move at Zuoyun Mount, all the Experimentals who had seen her were dead. When she made her move at Luoyang City, all the assassins who had seen her were also dead.
This was not Nonsense's fault. He had indeed been too ruthless on both occasions.
However, the overall quality of the list was already very high. When someone announced that they would be doing a ranking, many people started looking forward to it. This booklet did not let everyone down.
Moreover, Nonsense must have earned a lot from this booklet.
This old master wanted to establish a massive and mysterious intelligence network, but funds had always been a problem. Although he still had some savings in the southwest, he could not afford the expenses of an intelligence network.
With Li Shentan and his ability, he should be able to earn money very quickly. However, his grandson had no interest in earning money at all. He only knew how to spend money.
What extravagance …
The gold that they had intercepted from the Soong Clan back then had all been given to Ren Xiaosu. This gave Nonsense a headache just thinking about it. He wished he could add another line to Ren Xiaosu's introduction!
At this moment, the passersby in Stronghold 144 were also puzzled. "I wonder who made this list? How can they be so well-informed? None of us from the Northwest know that the Young Marshal has done so many things. It's like reading a novel. It's so enjoyable."
"Who cares who made it? In any case, the Young Marshal's ranking is definitely wrong!"
When Ren Xiaosu heard the passersby say that, he beamed with joy. However, Yang Xiaojin rolled her eyes and pulled him forward. "Why? Are you still planning to participate in the discussion with them? Hurry up and buy a house. Otherwise, we'll have to stay in a hotel again tonight. We had an appointment with the landlord yesterday at 2: 30 PM. Don't be late. "
The two of them did not even have a place to stay after coming here, so they definitely had to buy a house that was suitable for them to settle down in for a long time. They would definitely have to go to Fortress 178 in the future. However, since they were all properties in the Northwest, they would not have to worry about wasting them.
Even Wang Fugui did not know they had come to Stronghold 144 this time. They were purely here to hide and live a peaceful life.
After staying in the Central Plains for so long, all they did was fight and kill every day. Be it Ren Xiaosu or Yang Xiaojin, they were both a little tired. Both of them wanted to live a normal life.
Speaking of which, they even kind of missed the time they went to school together.
But Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought of something. "Hey, what do you think about Zhou Yingxue and the Eight Guardian Deities? I can understand that the Eight Guardian Deities are Wang Yuchi and the others, but why does it sound like a nickname from the underworld? It sounds like the Eight Guardians, with Green Dragon on the left and White Tiger on the right …. Do you think she got that nickname because she did something tyrannical in the Northwest?"
"Are you curious? Why don't you ask her yourself?" Yang Xiaojin glanced at him.
"Hahaha, I'm not curious," Ren Xiaosu said with a laugh.
The two of them headed west along East Tranquility Road. They did not plan on buying a luxurious villa with its own entrance and courtyard. Instead, they got a real estate agent in the stronghold to find them a small, run-down house.
Yesterday, the real estate agent told them that this small house used to be the Soong Clan's military subdivision's family compound. Due to the passage of time, the house here had already changed hands several times and become a private residence.
This place was not as prosperous as the wealthy district of Stronghold 144, but it was quiet.
Every household was a two-story brick house with a 200-square-meter yard in the back of the house.
This family consisted of an elderly man and an old woman. Now that their children had made some money from their business, they bought a house in a more upscale residential area for them.
There was something especially nice about the yard. Two peach trees had been planted in the backyard, and there were so many peaches that they could not finish them when they ripened every year.
It was already spring, and it was not far from the season when the peaches would ripen.
There was a university and a high school in the vicinity, and a food market was just 200 meters away after leaving the house. There was also a food street in the vicinity, and it could be said to be bustling with activity.
When Yang Xiaojin heard this, she decided she would buy this house.
After meeting up with the real estate agent on Tranquility East Road, Ren Xiaosu asked casually, "Is Stronghold 144 doing very well now?"
"Of course." The real estate agent said politely, "The two of you don't look like locals, right? Why did you come to the Northwest?"
"Oh, we just thought there were a lot of opportunities here, so we wanted to do some small business here," Ren Xiaosu said perfunctorily.
"Then the two of you have come to the right place." The real estate agent said with a smile, "In the past year, Stronghold 144 has become very lively as the distribution center for all of the goods in the Northwest. Many people have suddenly turned from salted fish into tycoons. Nowadays, there are really a lot of big merchants in Stronghold 144, and it's not inferior to the Central Plains at all. Moreover, with the war in the Central Plains now, many refugees and rich people are migrating here. They say this place is a paradise. Two days ago, there was even a businessman from the Wang Clan who wanted to settle down here. With so many people coming here, the prices of houses in Stronghold 144 will definitely go up. The two of you will definitely not lose out if you buy a house now. "
Ren Xiaosu smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll be counting on your auspicious words."
When they arrived at the small yard, the old man who was selling the house and his children were already there. Everyone was very polite when they met, and both parties roughly discussed the price of the house: 300,000 yuan.
The old man's eldest son said, "You definitely won't lose out if you buy it for this price. Although it's a little high, you should know that the property prices in Stronghold 144 are still rising. You won't lose out if you buy it."
