Chapter 90

Jin Zhuo, the Earl of Xuanwu, was in a very depressed mood.

Because he just got the list of guests attending the engagement ceremony of Zhang Jin and Xu Qianqian.

The situation is very bad.

The prefect Zhang Chong finally showed his fierce fangs.

There is already a faint stance of besieging Earl Xuanwu's mansion in all directions.

There were a few guests who the Count thought should not be there, but they also attended.

The first is Tang Yun, the prince of the Earl of Jinhai in the north.

You Jin Haibo and my Xuanwu Bo have a conflict, but that is also a conflict between our veteran nobles?

You are now blatantly siding with the New Deal faction, what do you mean?

The second is Nangong Ping, the second son of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The Duke of Zhenbei, Nangong Ao, was a famous general of the Yue Kingdom, commanding the army in the north.

He is an aristocrat, somewhere between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy.

First of all, he has a fief, but it is not very large, only 800 square kilometers.

Because his ancestor was only a third-class earl, after Nangong Ao joined the army, he fought in the north and south, and made outstanding achievements. The monarch ordered his title to be promoted to marquis.

For a long time, this Duke of Zhenbei has always been a neutral faction.

Unbiased between the old-fashioned aristocracy and the New Deal.

And now, he actually sent his second son to attend Zhang Jin's engagement wedding.

This is a very bad signal, representing that the position of Zhenbeihou is shifting.

And the third guest was the least Count Xuanwu wanted to see.

Hidden Yuan messenger.

What does the hidden element do?

It was one of the major banks in the entire Dayan Dynasty, and it held astronomical wealth, and its business spread over more than a dozen countries.

Over the past few hundred years, the Yinyuan Society has had an excellent relationship with the old-fashioned aristocrats, and their mutual interests have been very close.

It can be said that Yin Yuan will be the most solid backing of the old nobles.

Before the Yinyuan Society and the New Deal faction had drawn a clear line, there was almost no exchange of interests.

And now, the Yinyuan Society actually sent messengers to attend Zhang Jin's wedding?

What is this signal?

Will Yinyuan Society also change its stance?

For the Earl of Xuanwu, and for the entire old-fashioned aristocracy, this is tantamount to a disaster.

The most important thing is!

The foundation of the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is also in the hands of Yinyuanhui.

The huge debt owed by the previous generation of Earl Xuanwu, the creditor is Yinyuanhui.

Not to mention that Yin Yuan would come directly to ask for debts, even if they disclosed the economic situation of the Earl Xuanwu Mansion, it would be a huge disaster.

After hesitating for a long time, the Count came to Shen Lang, and said in a rare gentle tone: "Lang'er, Zhang Jin and Xu Qianqian's engagement, you don't want to go."

Hearing this, Shen Lang immediately refused.

"Why don't you go?" Shen Lang said: "She is my ex-wife after all, a couple in one night and a hundred days."

As a man, there is a cool point that many people have not experienced.

Attend the wedding of an ex-girlfriend or ex-wife, and then bring a wife who is more beautiful and noble than her.

Not only that, but he is more handsome and radiant than the groom of his ex-girlfriend.

"Lang'er, talk to me." Lord Earl said.

Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, I have been preparing for her engagement for a long time. I wrote a book for her, and I also made a dress for him. If I don't go, my clothes are not for nothing. Is it? Wasn't that book written in vain?"

Lord Earl said: "Xu Qianqian cried for a day, Xu Guangyun smashed the whole house, where did you write your book in vain?"

More than that?

There were also countless men who shot arrows at Xu Qianqian's portrait.

In less than a day, the illustrations of the book "Golden / Bottle / Plum Wind and Moon Boundless" are covered with a layer of white scale.

It's just that the Count is a serious person, and he won't have any related associations.

The count looked solemn and said, "Lang'er, the situation is very bad at the moment, Zhang Chong has weaved a big net, covering my house of Earl Xuanwu from all directions, the so-called engagement wedding is a rehearsal, once you go If you do, you will be criticized, and you will suffer a big loss.”

Shen Lang said earnestly, "Is that enemy from the north, the Earl of Jinhai, also sent someone?"

The Count nodded.

Shen Lang said again: "Our family's creditor is here too?"

This time, the count was really surprised.

"Not only that." Lord Earl said: "There is also a big man, and his arrival will give us a fatal blow to the Earl of Xuanwu."

This is what makes the count most lost.

Shen Lang narrowed his eyes, another big man? It will make the Earl's Mansion fall into absolute passiveness!

Who is this person?

It was supposed to be a banner big man, and this time he shifted his stance.

He couldn't help but searched the surrounding big people in his mind.

"Nangong Ao, Marquis of Zhenbei, he sent someone here?" Shen Lang said: "That will definitely not be the first son, only the second son, or the third son."

This time, the Earl looked at Shen Lang in disbelief.

He had just received this list and had not shown it to anyone.

Is there really such a smart person in this world?

This is completely different from reciting "Kim's Family Instructions" overnight. It's just super memory, and this is wisdom.

Uncle Xuanwu handed over the list.

Then, he looked at the map on the wall and sighed: "Lang'er, I'm really haggard, my eyes are blurred, and there is a feeling that the building is about to collapse."

Shen Lang was startled, his father-in-law had never been so depressed before.

Strong men never show weakness in front of others.

Although Jin Zhuo is not very talented, he will always play the role of a determined and powerful Earl of Xuanwu, so that everyone in the Earl's Palace can be sheltered under his wings.

But now that the storm is about to come and the wind is blowing, he really feels a little helpless.

He actually showed a weak posture in front of Shen Lang.

Shen Lang was shocked.

This can't be done, I still want to eat soft rice, and I still want to enjoy glory and wealth.

Mulan, I haven't slept yet, and neither has Xiaobing.

Moreover, that day I also found a particularly beautiful woman in the Earl's Palace, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with particularly large eyes and exquisite facial features.

He was thinking about how to ask Mulan to transfer her to his side.

It's only been over a month since my good days, and better days are still to come.

The House of Earl Xuanwu could not collapse, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

No, the father-in-law must be cheered up immediately.

...

Shen Lang closed his eyes and entered the state of Zhuge Liang, and it was the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" version, not the "Three Kingdoms" version.

After opening his eyes, Shen Lang showed a reserved and calm smile, as if everything was under control.

"Father-in-law, it's actually very clear in front of you, and you're not confused at all. Although it's a bit sinister, as long as we know ourselves and the enemy, it's not difficult for us to win. Why are you so pessimistic?"

The Earl said: "The hard part is knowing yourself and the enemy. Zhang Chong's methods are extremely poisonous, and he is unpredictable. The last time he was in Dongjiang County, Dongjiang Earl was forced by him before he could figure out what was going on. A dead end, and then a one-shot lore, has become a stepping stone for Zhang Chong to fly to Huang Tengda."

Shen Lang sneered and said: "Otherwise, Zhang Chong's next ultimate move seems to be blurred, but in fact it is clear and simple, and the son-in-law can see through it at a glance, so I will analyze it for the father-in-law."

Lord Earl said: "Really?"

Zhuge Lang nodded and said, "Of course."

Lord Earl said: "Everyone back away and call Old Master Lin."

A moment later, Master Lin, the count's most trusted confidant, came.

Then, the two waited for Shen Lang's analysis.

Oh no, it's a show!

...

"Father-in-law, Master Lin, the main opponent of our Earl's Mansion is Zhang Chong."

"In order for me to be able to eat soft rice with peace of mind and enjoy the glory and wealth, I often put myself in Zhang Chong's position, racking my brains to think about how to kill the Count Xuanwu's mansion."

"Cough cough..." Lord Earl reminded Shen Lang to pay attention to what he said, not to be too harsh.

Shen Lang said: "What kind of chess piece can we play. What the enemy is most afraid of, we should do it."

"What are we most afraid of in the Earl of Xuanwu? The first feeling of being isolated, losing shelter, looking around and seeing enemies everywhere."

"The Lanshan Viscount Mansion has already handed over its fiefs and military power. The Jinhai Earl Mansion and the New Deal faction have joined forces to kill us. It seems that there is only one Optimus Pillar left in the entire Tiannan Province noble faction, and that is the Marquis of Zhenbei. House."

"Nangong Ao, Hou of Zhenbei, is a military giant with nearly 100,000 troops in his hands. He also has a fief of 800 square kilometers in his home and has 2,000 private troops."

"The monarch's new policy is like sunshine, and the Marquis House in Zhenbei is like a big tree blocking the scorching sun for us. Our Earl Xuanwu House is under the protection of his shadow to a certain extent."

"Although Zhenbeihou has always expressed his neutrality before, hardly dealing with old-fashioned aristocrats, and he didn't send anyone even when I got married, it did not prevent him from the fact that he sheltered our family from the wind and rain, because his family had fiefs and Private Army."

"And this time, Zhang Chong took out the Optimus Jade Pillar directly and shifted the position of the Marquis of Zhenbei to the New Deal faction. In this way, the entire Earl of Xuanwu has become the largest veteran aristocrat in Tiannan Province. We Alone in the sun of the monarch's New Deal."

Earl Xuanwu nodded, this is how he felt. When he knew that Zhenbei Hou sent his second son to attend Zhang Jin's engagement banquet, he really felt a sense of panic in his heart.

The Marquis of Zhenbei walked away, and the mansion of Earl Xuanwu stood alone in the storm.

Shen Lang said lightly: "Father-in-law, others are unreliable, and the only one you can rely on is yourself. Our Earl of Xuanwu is destined to fight alone in Tiannan Province."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has 800 square kilometers of territory and 2,000 private troops, but this is nothing compared to the military power of 100,000 troops, which is why his position is shifted."

"However, Zhang Chong's move is a false move." Shen Lang said: "He wants us to misjudge, wants us to invest strategic resources in the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, and wants us to do our best to restore the position of the Marquis of Zhenbei. ."

"However, we can't invest any resources. If the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to change his position, just let him go!"

"Next, the second thing we are most afraid of is being cut off." Shen Lang said: "I know that our Earl's House has no surplus and savings, but owes astronomical debts. Once the money is cut, the consequences will be Incredible."

"After completing the first two steps, if I were Zhang Chong, I would use the most lethal move next, completely severing the arm of the Earl Xuanwu's mansion and cutting off the vitality of the Earl's mansion!"

"And this third step is the battle for Jinshan Island, and it's all in one battle."

"If I'm not mistaken, the monarch will soon issue an decree, once and for all, to completely determine the ownership of Jinshan Island."

"And Zhang Chong and Zhu Rong have been preparing for the battle for Jinshan Island for more than half a year, so to some extent, our complete loss of Jinshan Island seems destined to become a reality."

"Once we completely lose Jinshan Island, our creditors feel that we no longer have the ability to repay our debts, and they will make up their minds to openly ask for debts. The debt crisis of Earl Xuanwu's Mansion breaks out. What should we do at that time?"

"It's impossible not to repay the debt. The monarch will take the opportunity to put pressure on it. I don't know how much our debt is. If I guess correctly, it will definitely not be paid out."

"Also, the collateral for this debt is Wangya Island, right? This debt contract should also be about to expire, right?"

Lord Earl looked at Shen Lang speechlessly.

These secrets, he didn't reveal a word.

It's really...intellect is almost a monster.

"To borrow an astronomical amount of debt, you must have collateral. The last generation of counts could not use the local fief as collateral, but Wangya Island."

Shen Lang said: "The four major inputs of our Earl's Mansion are the grain of the fief, silk, and the salt and iron of Wangya Island."

"The annual income of salt and iron on Wangya Island accounts for more than 60% of the total income of the Earl's Mansion. At that time, our creditors will ask the monarch to come forward and ask for Wangya Island."

"And once we lose Wangya Island, for our Earl of Xuanwu, it will not only hurt our bones, but also cut off our arms and thighs. Losing 60% of our financial resources, at that time our only The choice is to dismantle the army."

"As an old-fashioned aristocrat, if there is no army, it is like a wolf that has lost its minions, and it is like the meat on the chopping board being slaughtered. Without the army, we can't keep our fief at all, and by that time, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu will be over. ."

"If I were Zhang Chong, I would kill Count Xuanwu's mansion in these three steps."

"Please give your father-in-law advice, and ask Master Lin to give advice!"

After pretending to be forced, Shen Lang bowed slightly.

The Count was really stunned.

Really enlightened.

After being analyzed by Shen Lang, the fog in front of him seemed to be cleared away in an instant.

Lord Earl and Master Lin looked at each other and exchanged the shock in each other's eyes.

There is really a breath coming from the soles of the feet, rushing to the brain.

I can't believe it!

How could there be such a smart person in this world?
