"Thank you! Are your injuries alright? Do you want me to bandage them first? "
South of Rosy Clouds cupped his fists. For the first time, he had a good impression of Not Saying Wuyi.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and smiled. "A small injury is nothing. Rosy Cloud Suzerain, this person attempted to assassinate the finance chief of Shanhai City. According to Shanhai City's Territory Code, I want to bring him back to the territory for trial. You won't object, right? "As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo looked at South of Rosy Clouds with a meaningful gaze.
South of Rosy Clouds was stunned. His mind spun and he finally reacted.
If Lin Fen was brought back to Shanhai City, he would not be able to commit suicide and would not be able to return to the territory. In that case, the leaderless Burnt City would be like a piece of fat meat for him to slaughter!
Previously, Zhang Liang had suggested to South of Rosy Clouds that they should annex the city to reduce internal friction.
The problem was that it was easier said than done.
When it came time to go into battle, South of Rosy Clouds could not find a suitable target. Annexing any city could easily cause a tsunami in the city.
Wasn't the Burnt City a perfect target?!
"Lin Fen has committed such a mistake. Naturally, he should be handed over to Shanhai City to deal with," South of Rosy Clouds said, but his heart trembled.
South of Rosy Clouds could not be sure how many schemes were hidden behind the other party's suggestion. At the very least, Shanhai City must have found out about Rosy Cloud City's plan to annex the city.
"How terrifying!"
At this moment, South of Rosy Clouds felt gloomy about the future of the city. He could faintly feel that a huge shadow was quietly shrouding the sky above the city, and it could devour them at any time.
Coupled with Lin Fen's' betrayal ', the city was simply a testing ground for the big shots.
"The world is going to change!" South of Rosy Clouds sighed in his heart.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, and he could sense South of Rosy Clouds' emotions. He did not say anything and waved his hand at the foot of the mountain, gesturing for Xu Chu to come up.
Seeing Xu Chu, Lin Fen truly realized that he might not be able to escape, and he might even spend the rest of his life in Shanhai City's prison. If that was the case, what was the point of his master's backup plan?!
"South of Rosy Clouds, you coward. I am a member of the city. How can you let an outsider deal with me? Coward! Traitor! "Lin Fen cursed and had already lost his rationality.
"You are a traitor of the city. What right do you have to say such things?" It was unknown if the South of the Rosy Clouds had been touched by the Lin Fen or if it was because she had flown into a rage out of humiliation, but her tone was no longer calm.
"Bah!" Lin Fen was ready to risk it all. "Coward, the city will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."
South of the Rosy Clouds turned around and couldn't be bothered to continue talking to Lin Fen.
Ouyang Shuo looked on coldly from the side. At this moment, he said, "Take him away!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Chu was like an iron tower, locking Lin Fen in place. Lin Fen could not even struggle, let alone commit suicide. This person had hurt Jun Shang. After he came down, Xu Chu was prepared to teach him a lesson.
Lin Fen's face was pale. He cursed as he walked.
If he were to fall into Shanhai City, given the personality of his master, there was no way he would spare any effort to save him. To that person, a useless chess piece was an abandoned chess piece.
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.
Ouyang Shuo silently gazed at the Qilin's figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance, and an imperceptible smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.
"Speaking of which, Lin Fen is really cooperative."
Ouyang Shuo said that he wanted to put Lin Fen on trial for revenge, but the most important purpose was to take this opportunity to shake the foundation of South of the Rosy Clouds in the city-state of Xiangnan and make them dig their own grave.
"In the face of a fat piece of meat, the leader of a city-state decisively abandoned his ally and annexed his ally's territory." If such a rumor spread in the city-state of Xiangnan, it was unknown what interesting things would happen.
South of the Rosy Clouds was still not mature enough. He was easily fooled by the fat piece of meat that Ouyang Shuo had thrown out, and thus lost his original judgment. In the end, he made a big mistake.
If Zhang Liang was here, he would definitely stop South of the Rosy Clouds.
When Lin Fen cursed, South of the Rosy Clouds might have faintly felt that something was wrong, so he flew into a rage out of humiliation. Unfortunately, at that time, South of the Rosy Clouds was already riding a tiger and could no longer turn back.
"This assassination was really an excellent assist."
There was a saying that came from: a blessing in disguise.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo suddenly felt that the gunshot wound on his shoulder was not so painful anymore. The western pistol that Lin Fen used was the "murder weapon", but Ouyang Shuo unceremoniously put it into his storage bag.
...
No one would care about a loser.
Ouyang Shuo retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Let's continue signing the contract!"
"Okay."
Lord Ximen, who had been silent throughout the whole process, smiled slightly.
South of the Rosy Clouds also smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
When the trade agreement was signed, Lord Ximen let out a long sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted to see was the trade agreement fall through.
Lord Ximen's territory was located in the northern part of the North Sichuan Province, which was near Zunyi in reality. The most famous liquor in his territory was Maotai.
Maotai had a long history and was one of the three major liquors in China. In reality, Maotai was one of the three most famous distilled liquors in the world, along with Scotch whisky and French cognac.
In comparison, Shanhai City's Tri-Flower Wine was somewhat lacking.
Unfortunately, although Lord Ximen had mastered the brewing technique of Maotai and produced high-quality Maotai, because he was located inland, he could not find a market for it.
Therefore, how could Lord Ximen not be worried?
The trade agreement with Shanhai City was Lord Ximen's life-saving straw.
Although there were restrictions on the export of similar goods in the agreement, Lord Ximen's goal was to use Shanhai City's sea route to sell Maotai to the coastal territories of China, as well as Quanzhou, Jianye, and other royal cities.
There would always be a solution if he thought of a way.
"Happy cooperation!"
After signing the agreement, Lord Ximen took the initiative to shake hands with Ouyang Shuo.
"Happy cooperation!"
Ouyang Shuo smiled meaningfully.
Ouyang Shuo still had the attitude of trying to rope Lord Ximen in.
With the integration of White Birch into the system of Shanhai City, there were changes in the Dragon Seeking Point. The traditional Shanhai Alliance was facing a harsh test.
Ouyang Shuo was already considering injecting new blood into the Shanhai Alliance.
Lord Ximen was one of the key targets of Ouyang Shuo's investigation. If possible, Ouyang Shuo did not mind using this method to peacefully annex the North Sichuan Province at some point in the future.
However, this matter involved a lot of people. North Sichuan Province was not something that Lord Ximen could decide alone. Just like Xiangnan Province, various forces had their pawns buried there.
Not to mention, it was said that Liu Bei and Feng Qingyang, a pair of allies, had their eyes on the North Sichuan Province.
The situation inside was very complicated.
Therefore, it was very difficult to carry out this matter.
"Where there is a will, there is a way!" Ouyang Shuo smiled in his heart. At least today's meeting had made a good start.
At this point, the signing of the contract had officially come to an end. The aftermath caused by the signing of the contract would last for a long time.
After the show ended, Ouyang Shuo hurried back to Sanjiang Town and asked the local doctor to bandage and treat his wound. Only then did Ouyang Shuo feel that his entire arm had gone numb.
The Western pistol was really extraordinary. Its lethality was amazing. If it was Fan Li who was shot, she would not be able to withstand it. That night, Ouyang Shuo checked the attributes of the pistol.
[Name]: Western Flintlock Pistol (Dark Gold)
[Manufacturer]: Unknown
[Shooting Method]: Burst fire
[Power]: Below average
[Range]: Below average
[Accuracy]: Above average
[Loading Speed]: Slow
[Firing Speed]: Medium
[Remarks]: Pistols first appeared in the late 15th century. Its recoil is very strong, but its power is too low. The caliber of a pistol is much larger than a rifle, but its range is shorter and its accuracy is poor.
Compared to a rifle, a pistol's advantage is that it is easy to carry, is good for concealment, and is suitable for surprise assassinations. Lin Fen's assassination had used the advantages of the Western Flintlock Pistol.
If it was not for Ouyang Shuo's superb senses, the assassination might have succeeded.
After the incident, Fan Li was extremely touched by Ouyang Shuo's actions. His loyalty directly increased by 15 points, breaking through the 90 points mark.
This also meant that after returning to Shanhai City, Fan Li would be more involved in the affairs of the territory, and would sincerely plan for Ouyang Shuo.
Thinking about it this way, it was a blessing in disguise.
In hindsight, Ouyang Shuo felt that he had been shot unjustly. As the Saint of Shang, Fan Li had entered the Confucian Temple. He could be resurrected in the Confucian Temple without the need for a "General Soul".
However, the situation was urgent, so Ouyang Shuo did not have time to think about it. He instinctively stood up.
Now that he thought about it, he was quite scared.
It was because Ouyang Shuo did not have a substitute doll with him. If he was shot in the head and died on the spot, he would have to return to Shanhai City to reincarnate.
If that happened, his cultivation would go down the drain.
Ouyang Shuo did not bring a substitute doll with him because he was being unreasonable, nor was he careless. It was for the sake of his cultivation. He did not want to leave himself a way out.
Otherwise, in a battle of life and death, having a substitute doll was equivalent to having a "protective talisman". It was very likely that he would disregard his own life and death. It might seem courageous, but it had already deviated from the true meaning of cultivation.
If one was not afraid of death, one would not understand the meaning of death.
Both the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor and the Heavenly Demon Spear Scripture were top-notch existences that could affect reality. Ouyang Shuo did not want the substitute doll to affect his cultivation.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not want to use a substitute doll.
If Ouyang Shuo really died, it would not only affect his cultivation. It was obvious that if Ouyang Shuo was killed, no one would be able to suppress Xu Chu and the other Generals.
A chaotic battle was almost inevitable.
If that happened, the other party would have achieved their goal.
