Chapter 224

It's definitely not easy for Jin Lao you who hasn't recovered from his injuries. But the dusty golden old oil in appearance still maintains that kind of calm and calm in bearing.

……

"The Marquis escaped safely and killed Qiu Xiaobai. What he did really surprised me!"

"You're welcome, sir! I've had some luck. I've picked up a bargain by mistake!"

"This' cheap 'benefit is not small, so that the Marquis can sit on the whole Qinzhou!"

"I think since God has given such an opportunity, no one can extrapolate?"

"Opportunity is on the one hand, but if you want to be the final winner, strength, ability and luck are indispensable! The Marquis can achieve this result. I really envy it, but I will never envy it!"

"Senior, I feel a lot more secure when I see things so transparent!"

"This time, the Marquis is polite. I've been wandering the Jianghu all my life. I've experienced a lot of winning and losing. Whether I succeed or lose, there is a 'God's will' in it. This is the reality. Complaining is meaningless! In my opinion, the Marquis has won peace of mind!"

Jin Laoyou's tone is calm, without any hypocrisy and bitterness. He has absolutely achieved honor and Disgrace in his mentality and performance

"Where did you come from, sir?"

"Never left Qinzhou!"

"Oh, are there any remaining evils of Yin closure?"

"Lord, don't embarrass me now!"

"Elder, why do you say that?"

"If the old man's guess is right, some stockaded villages abandon their residence and go downstream. They should be ordered by the Marquis!"

Zhang Zhou nodded with a smile, and Jin Laoyou nodded. Tacit and unspoken!

"It seems that the Marquis has a plan!"

"Just some general ideas!"

"I don't know. Is there any chance to cooperate with the Marquis?"

"It depends on whether it is beneficial to both sides!"

Only from the perspective of commercial contact, Zhang Zhou has a good sense of Jin Laoyou, and he is not afraid of the other party's arrogance, but he can't hold the other party's politeness! But this matter is related to the feelings of the people in Qinzhou and their future development. He also had to exclude some perceptual ideas.

Jin Laoyou smiled.

"If you have a marquis, you can do it. I'm not in a hurry now!"

"Why did you come to me today?"

"Please do me a favor!"

"Elder, please say it clearly?"

"In today's dilemma, the old man will no longer cover up. I almost ran out of the old man during my trip to Qinzhou! I was hoping to get Qinzhou to plan, but I'm afraid I'm lost in the current situation! If I don't say I've lost in Qinzhou, maybe there's no place for the old man even in southern Xinjiang now!"

"Oh, as far as I know, in the three southern prefectures, there is no force that can compete with Xinglong society?"

After all, Nanjiang is too far away. Kyushu business has no involvement there. Although Zexiang also settled in Nanjiang at the beginning, it was completely lost to jinlaoyou in business management! This also makes Zhang Zhou's intelligence acquisition of Southern Xinjiang far away is basically zero. Zhang Zhou's information is only at the level of "hearing".

Xinglong will lose a lot in Qinzhou this time. Jin Laoyou said he would fight for the old bottom, but Zhang Zhou never thought he would completely lose his ability! After so many years of accumulation, Jin Laoyou's family wealth will be so rich that we must not underestimate it.

Jin Laoyou said with a wry smile: "Xinglong will dominate the southern three prefectures for 20 years. What do you rely on? Is it hard enough? Is there enough silver? There are a large number of people and brave subordinates? In order to win in Qinzhou this time, I spent countless silver and almost emptied all the elite of my hometown. It can be said that I have no control over southern Xinjiang! If I win in Qinzhou this time, my strength will increase greatly, Those people certainly dare not make big moves, but if I lose, they will never give me a chance to make a comeback! "

"Did the elder get any news?"

If Jin Laoyou can still communicate with Nanjiang in this situation, it seems that he should not continue to be trapped in the mountains and even engage in looting!

Jin Laoyou shook his head.

"After so many years of ups and downs, how can we not consider the way back? According to the original plan, some backup and supplies will be sent to a place ten miles upstream of Qinzhou wharf. If we win, we will continue to replenish people and horses, and if we lose, we can arrange retreat! However, it has been five days overdue, and the person who answered still hasn't appeared, which has explained the problem!"

"Oh, master, what do you mean...?"

"All kinds of speculation show that there is a problem in my rear, and someone has betrayed me!"

"OK?"

"I'm very sure. According to the rules of our Xinglong society, they dare not come so late! Unless the whole fleet encounters an accident and there is no storm during this period, there can be no such big delay. There can only be two reasons for this situation. One is that the reinforcements have been withdrawn, and the other is that they have been attacked, resulting in the destruction of the whole army... In a word, the old family is big It's over! "

Zhang Zhou looked at Jin Laoyou and said seriously, "senior, if you tell me this, you won't be afraid of me taking the opportunity to fall into the well?"

"Ha ha, marquis, if I lie to you today, I may get some benefits, but what about the future? According to the old man's understanding of marquis, it's hard for those who have cheated you to find another opportunity to cooperate with you! It's absolutely impossible to give up long-term interests for short-term stability! Therefore, telling him the truth is the most correct way of communication! Besides, I also analyze it After the layout of Kyushu business, Lord Hou is not interested in southern Xinjiang at all. How can I worry about you falling on me? "

Zhang Zhou nodded. One of his business ideas is extreme. If he deceives himself, it will be difficult to get a silver or two in Kyushu's hands! Moreover, he is really not interested in southern Xinjiang.

"Hehe, I'm ashamed of what the elder said! I'm really a little Petty!"

"If I'm arrogant, I've been wandering the Jianghu and shopping malls for so many years. I've experienced ups and downs, and even life and death! Otherwise, how can this oil word fall on me? The reason why I confidently say this with the Marquis is is not that he is honest, but that it's better for me! Moreover, only the Marquis can help me now!"

Zhang Zhou smiled.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"A support!"

"What kind of support?"

"I don't need money. I've also saved some family money, which is enough!"

"Elder, don't you want me to help you fight?"

Jin Laoyou smiled and shook his head.

"I don't need it. I want you to show your attitude in the business circles of nanshizhou. Don't let these people blackmail me at this time!"

"Elder, you think highly of me. I'm afraid I don't have that strength. It should be more appropriate for you to say hello to the princess!"

"It's too late to inform the princess. Moreover, in the ten prefectures in southern Beijing, your name is still very deterrent!"

Zhang Zhou smiled faintly.

"Since the elder thinks highly of me so much, I'll spread a message that Kyushu and Xinglong will cooperate closely! As for the effect, the younger generation can't guarantee it!"

"This is enough for those merchants to flinch in a short time. It's enough! As long as I get through this difficulty, I'll give the discovery of Qinzhou's mineral resources to Lord Hou in return!"

"I'll talk about it later. Do your subordinates need my help to settle down..."

Jin Laoyou shook his head.

"There are traitors among those people. The news of my failure was spread by the people here!"

"Traitor, did the elder find out someone?"

"Since entering the mountain, people have been missing. I don't care. When I find it wrong, it's difficult to distinguish who is trustworthy, and time is not allowed!"

"What are these people going to do?"

"Lord, I'll give you a word. Those who achieve great things must know how to give up!"

Zhang Zhou was shocked. He didn't doubt what Jin Laoyou said. There were traitors among those people, but most of them should have no problem. Jin Laoyou chose to give up all of them! How cruel!

Jin Laoyou seemed to see Zhang Zhou's idea and said with a smile, "Lord Hou may have been going with the wind and water all the time. He hasn't encountered the taste of being betrayed by traitors!"

Zhang Zhou was silent.

"You think I'm old, cruel, cruel, and mean! I can't stay with you, or I'll die when I go back! And when I die, those people also don't have a way to live when they go back! Instead, I'd better go to battle lightly. If I succeed, at least someone will avenge them!"

Zhang Zhou cannot judge whether Jin Laoyou's choice is right or wrong!

"Why didn't you leave before, elder? Is it just to get my empty paper?"

Jin Laoyou was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "because I also knew that the Marquis was safe, and I was sure that I had no chance to turn over and make a profit in Qinzhou!"

Jin Laoyou's honesty also moved Zhang Zhou a little.

"I'm here. I wish you success!"

"Ha ha, I hope God won't cut off all my opportunities by the auspicious words of Hou!"

Just as Jin Laoyou was about to go out of the account door, he turned to look at Zhang Zhou and said.

"If the old man can't come back, please ask the Marquis to find a place in Qinzhou to build a wordless grave for the old man! It's also considered that I haven't been busy in my life, and I've finally fallen leaves and returned to my roots!"

Jin Laoyou went south alone.

——————

"Qin Huan, I want to know if someone wants to replace Xinglong in the three southern prefectures! Who will it be?"

Qin Huan's injury has been much better. He is also grateful to Zhang Zhou, but he is still vigilant and silent about this problem.

Zhang Zhou explained, "gang leader Jin suspects that someone is doing something behind his back. He has returned to Nanjiang alone!"

"Go back alone?"

"Yes, he also suspects that there are traitors within you!"

Qin Huan knew Jin Laoyou's cruel character too well. He sighed and leaned back slowly.

Zhang Zhou continued: "I don't want to comment on some practices of leader Jin, but in terms of business cooperation, I prefer to continue to cooperate with Xinglong society! Now, you must know more about the situation of Xinglong society than I do! If you want to cooperate, you must be sincere. If I don't even know who your opponent is, I really can't strengthen my confidence in helping!"

"Why don't you ask the sect leader?"

"Qin Huan, are you questioning me?"

Qin Huan looked at Zhang Zhou with cold eyes. Subconsciously, he lowered his head and whispered, "Lord Hou, I'm sorry, it's the grass people's recklessness!"

"If those people left are your attitude, I really don't need to help myself!"

Qin Huan put his hand on the wound, got up slowly, and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhou.

"Lord, it's all the grass people's fault! I hope Lord can be kind and righteous and save those brothers!"

"They are not my people. I have no obligation of great benevolence and righteousness. I value only interests! What can you give me?"

Qin Huan bowed his head and said nothing.

"Hundreds of lives lie between your thoughts!"

Qin Huan sighed.

"The former Qin Huan has died in Qinzhou. Later Qin Huan is willing to serve the Marquis!"

Zhang Zhou wants to cultivate a mountain army. Ma Heizi and Huo Jike are not good at it, but Qin Huan is definitely a talent in this field!

"Then it's a deal!" Zhang Zhou was very satisfied with Qin Huan's knowledge, responded very readily and with a little excitement.

Qin Huan and Zhang Zhou don't know each other at all. At most, Zhang Zhou knows that he is responsible for training the dead for Jin Laoyou. He knows that Zhang Zhou is the master of Kyushu Hou and Kyushu business.

The reason why he chose this is that he really has nothing to exchange! Zhang Zhou showed such concern for him, which surprised him!

Zhang Zhou helped Qin Huan up and helped him back to his seat. He said sincerely, "with your help, my Qinzhou plan is half successful!"

This affirmation made Qin Huan feel unbearable.

"Lord, I'm just a martial artist. I don't have much ability. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Lord..."

"There is no need to say anything else. I believe you can keep your promise and work for me seriously, which is enough!"

According to the intelligence analysis provided by Changping, in addition to the villagers who are willing to accept Zhao'an and move out, the rest are either extremely cunning or occupy a dangerous geographical advantage. In short, the dead have few targets to rob at will. They are at the end of their tether. In the end, they must rob ships for a living and become a group of fierce bandits!

When Zhang Zhou learned that Jin Laoyou was going to abandon these people, he moved his mind. He wants to manage the Qinjiang River. It's his duty to destroy these people, both public and private. The combat effectiveness of these people is definitely not comparable to those stronghold people. Instead of paying too much for the elimination in the future, he might as well take advantage of the opportunity to win over this abandoned Army, which may become his own use! If these people can belong to themselves and Qin Huan helps them, the mountain army expected by Zhang Zhou can almost be transported out!

In addition, in the short term, Zhang Zhou plans to hand over all the Huyan elite brought by Liu Qingshan to Wei Wuyi to take over tengshu escort agency; The armed forces transferred from Hezhou in the early stage are mainly responsible for the supervision of tunnels; The formal guard force of Qinzhou new town will inevitably be much weaker. If these people can be recruited, they can add a lot of strength.

As for the traitors mentioned by Jin Laoyou, he is confident that he can find them one by one and eliminate them!

Time waits for no man. Zhang Zhou immediately asked night rukong to go out in person, together with the law who happened to work at the wharf, to take charge of rescuing the dead.

Qinzhou tribes also have their own grievances and debts. They hate Jin Laoyou's ruthlessness, but they have no bad feelings for these dead people. After all, if these dead people didn't join the battle temporarily, they had no chance to turn over.

Zhang Zhou went to the old city overnight to see Qin Huan.
