At this moment, the gray shadow appeared in the car, behind the coachman.
Tactically, it was a perfect fit.
Palm up!
"Poof!"
The huge force suddenly disappeared without a trace, the gray shadow's face was tense, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he looked down, a knife tip was exposed in his chest, he turned around with difficulty, the curtain of the car had been broken, and a black masked man in the carriage was staring at him coldly.
Gray Shadow was confused at first, then suddenly realized, and he let out a mournful roar and punched out.
It was a grandmaster's dying counterattack, and the curtain shattered in the fist.
There was a hint of mockery in the masked man's eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared, and the walls of the carriage cracked silently.
The sawdust cracked, but it was not broken into powder, but dozens or hundreds of hidden weapons were formed, which were divided into several strands to attack the tea shop owner, Taoist priest and fat merchant, but the person arrived in front of the strong man in a flash, plain, and punched it.
This punch is very simple, just like a baby, raising his fist to fight, flat and slow, but the strong man's expression changed greatly, he suddenly let go, gave up the right hammer, picked up the left hammer and smashed it into the fist. But the fist did not stop, and it still slammed forward, colliding head-on with the hammer.
fists, hammers;
On one side is the flesh, and on the other side is the steel that has been tempered thousands of times;
The hammer is huge, and compared to a fist, it is a behemoth.
Fist hits hammer.
"Bang!"
The sound is dull, like hitting dead wood.
The strong man was struck by lightning, and his body involuntarily flew backwards, and halfway through, a stream of blood spurted out when he opened his mouth.
"Boom!"
Only then did Grey Shadow's fist settle in the carriage, and the entire carriage burst open, and the horse leading the carriage let out a long neigh, and Grey Shadow fell in a neigh.
When the strong man abandoned the hammer, the coachman also changed, the long whip with the hammer reversed and returned, just half gone, then suddenly turned, smashed to the porter, the porter was fighting with the guards, caught off guard, saw the black slimy thing smashed, hurriedly waved the knife to block, the guards took the opportunity to attack, a knife cut off his head, the remaining two porters were sad and angry, three guards took advantage of the situation to turn defense into attack, the two porters formed a siege of the momentum.
The carriage burst violently, Reina disappeared, the gray shadow fell to death, the strong man was hit hard and flew upside down, and the offensive and defensive momentum of the entire battlefield reversed.
Shen Chen has been rushing to attack, trying to destroy the joint momentum of the two elders of Yin and Yang, the two elders of Yin and Yang lost the opportunity, and after being attacked by Shen Chen for a few moves, they barely formed a joint attack, but at this moment, the carriage burst, debris was scattered, and Reina actually had no trace.
The two have cooperated for many years, and they have already formed a tacit understanding, and they don't even need eye contact to know each other's thoughts, the two of them forced Shen Chen to retreat, turned around and were about to leave, Yang Lao's face suddenly sank, and the green steel sword stood up abruptly.
"Dang!"
With a crisp sound, Yang Lao felt a strong push to push himself back a few steps in succession, and before he could stand firm, the blade came to his body again, Yang Lao was horrified in his heart, the green steel sword blocked again, the swords intersected, and the huge force attacked along the green steel sword, invading his meridians, half of his arm became numb, and he had to mobilize the dantian internal qi to block and dissolve.
Yang Lao was shocked and angry, and let out a loud roar, at this time, he saw clearly that the attacking man was none other than the man in sackcloth and straw shoes who was still cowering and eating black cakes just now, and crawling in an attempt to snatch back that meager property.
At this moment, the man in sackcloth had a faint mockery on his face, but the knife in his hand was not slow at all, and it was another slash, Yang Lao was trying his best to resolve the strength of the attack into his body, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to take it hard, and his body quickly retreated.
At this time, the man in sackcloth suddenly put away his knife, turned around and threw himself at Yin Lao, Yang Lao was suddenly attacked, Yin Lao struggled to save him, but he was entangled by Shen Chen and couldn't get out.
As soon as the Mai man put away the knife, Yang Lao suddenly felt bad, and immediately turned back to advance, but the energy in his body was still entangled, which made his reaction speed a little slower, just a little sluggish, and the strong wind behind him hit and hit his vest heavily.
Yang Lao screamed, rushed forward, blood spurted wildly, this energy was so violent, quickly invaded his body, destroyed his meridians along the way, violently invaded the dantian, the fist behind him chased after him, and another punch came, this punch was not as violent as just now, but on the contrary, it was relatively gentle, like a lover's caressing, gently hitting him in the back of the heart, and then sticking to his vest.
But only Yang Lao under the fist knows that the terrible of this punch, a greater force, will completely destroy the meridians that have been broken, the strength rushed into the dantian, and the strength that stayed in the dantian in front of it was united, in the dantian raged, the strength continued to come in, the dantian expanded rapidly, and a huge cyclone was formed in the dantian in the blink of an eye, before Yang Lao could speak, the dantian was shattered, Yang Lao opened his mouth and spewed out a bloody sword, he looked helplessly, the man in Mai had already slashed the **** old man's head.
Yin and Yang two elders, die!
The ambushers suddenly discovered that they were ambushed, and the situation on the battlefield completely changed, and the guards who were still guarding the carriage were all thrown into the battlefield, besieging and killing the ambushers in all aspects.
The Mai man, Shen Chen, and the masked man supported everywhere separately, and now they have no baggage at all and let go of the fight.
Five or six miles to the west of Shilipu, close to the canal that winds north, there is a manor, which is hidden in the willow forest, and the road leading to the manor is full of horse-drawn carriages, even though it is now close to evening, there are still horse-drawn carriages coming and going.
Outside the manor, there is a row of newly built workshops, and the sound of machinery in the workshops is endless, even outside the willow forest, it can be faintly heard.
"This is the loom that Brother Liu said?" Reiner looked at the rows of looms, and the workshop was full of female workers, each of whom had a loom machine.
Lao Huang nodded: "Do you see the difference with the textile machine of Dajin?"
Reina didn't pay attention to it first, but after hearing it, he quickly took a closer look, he was not unfamiliar with the loom, strictly speaking, he was raised by his mother with a loom, and the loom used to be the most important property in the family.
On closer inspection, he found the similarities and differences, the loom at home had only one thread, while this loom had twelve threads, and the loom was much smaller, that is, much lighter.
"I see. Lao Huang smiled, today he came out of the city, and at the same time, he also brought Liu Tong and other twelve masters, but, after arriving here, Liu Tong and they went to Songlin Slope, after Reina's convoy out of Songlin Slope, they twelve picked up Reina, returned to the manor from a small road, and the convoy continued to move towards Shilipu, as for the masked man who changed up, Liu Tong didn't know who it was, this person met with them on Songlin Slope, when they met, they took out something and handed it to Reina, Reina saw it, didn't ask anything, and let him get in the carγ
No one knew where his last name came from, but no one suspected him, because he was holding Liu Han's handwritten note, which had the highest density secret mark left by Liu Han, and the masked man swallowed the note in front of Reina after seeing it.
Liu Tong ensured Reina safe and sound to the pine forest slope, and Lao Huang specially accompanied Reina around the manor and workshop.
"This kind of loom is made by the shopkeeper, this thing is ten times faster than our Dajin loom, the shopkeeper is relying on this loom to occupy the weaving market in the Western Regions, and now a lot of cotton in the Western Regions is planted by the shopkeeper. β
"Wool is also woven by this loom?" Reina squatted down and looked at the loom carefully, the female worker was a little at a loss, Lao Huang motioned for her to continue working, Reina looked very carefully, several parts of this loom were actually made of iron.
"Those parts are often worn, the original use of wood, later replaced with copper, and finally replaced with iron, copper of course is good, but the cost is too expensive, or iron is more cost-effective. Lao Huang said slowly.
Reina stood up, looked at the hundreds of female workers in the workshop, and sighed: "No wonder Shopkeeper Liu doesn't look down on those casinos and green buildings, with such a loom, he naturally has confidence." β
Lao Huang smiled: "Actually, after that, the shopkeeper doesn't want to mix the rivers and lakes, nor does he want to be an official in the court, and the mellow beauty is his yearning." β
Reina couldn't help but smile and shook his head at Lao Huang, not knowing whether to agree or oppose.
"Wine beauty, hehe," Reina smiled, "I heard that he rejected the beautiful woman sent by the king of Yanping County." β
"Can you accept the beauties sent by the king of Yanping County?" asked Lao Huang meaningfully.
Reina also looked at him, the two looked at each other and smiled, at this time, someone sent a small bamboo tube, Lao Huang opened it in front of Reina, poured out a note, looked at it, and handed it to Reina, Reina sighed softly after reading it.
"It's good for this result," Lao Huang said lightly: "If it's pus, you have to squeeze it, I'm afraid this battle can kill half of their living force." β
Reina didn't speak, he didn't ask who the masked man was, since the man appeared and masked, it means that the man can't see people at all, and even if he asks, he can't ask.
A fierceness flashed in Reina's eyes, and he said equally lightly: "You're right, just do what you want, what is your shopkeeper going to do next?"
"The hidden dangers that should be eliminated must be eliminated as soon as possible," Lao Huang said: "Let's see how the results are, let's go, let's go to Zhuangzi and wait." β
The two of them went out of the workshop, Liu Tong and they were on guard all around, and when they arrived at the manor, they went to a small courtyard in the backyard, this manor was almost all workshops, and the rest were female workers and warehouses, only this corner was a quiet place.
The manor turned out to be a small gate valve family, the small gate valve family went back to their hometown, and the manor was sold to Xu Yuan, Liu Han felt that the manor was too small, and bought a large manor through the king of Yanping County, and bought a piece of land next to the manor, and built a warehouse there. After the decision was made to open a weaving and dyeing workshop, this small estate became a large workshop.
"I don't understand why they would lay an ambush for ten miles?" asked Reina after drinking his tea.
"That's what I wondered. Lao Huang nodded and replied, the best ambush locations along the way are the ones provided by Yu Xing, but those few places are not, but the ambush is set up in Shilipu, but Shilipu is so close to the imperial capital, how will the imperial court react?
"Could it be that their purpose is to force the imperial court to openly attack me Fengyulou?" Rainer asked suspiciously, the imperial court has not publicly declared Fengyulou a criminal and Xiao Yuraina a wanted criminal.
Lao Huang nodded slowly: "There is such a possibility, but if this is the case, the price is a bit big." β
Reina thought for a moment and nodded. If you want to ambush Reina, you must dispatch a grandmaster-level master, and it is indeed a bit more than worth the loss to let the grandmaster-level master lose in such an operation.
"They really look up to me Reina. Reina smiled bitterly: "Is there any preparation in the city?"
"The shopkeeper is personally guarding the side of the owner of Xiao Lou, don't worry, it will be fine. Lao Huang said and took a sip of the teacup: "After a while, he will tell us what to do, whether to enter the city or wait here." β
Reina didn't ask anything anymore, the two of them drank tea slowly, changed the subject, and talked about the adult past, laughing from time to time, and sighing from time to time.
The sun gradually fell, the bird hovered and fell in the air, and after a while, Liu Tong sent a secret letter, and after Lao Huang read it, he also handed it to Reina, who saw that he was letting him stay in the manor, and he would go to the manor in the middle of the night to meet him.
"I told you that my shopkeeper is very cautious," Lao Huang added some water to his teacup, and Reina smiled bitterly, today is considered to be insightful, with Liu Han's wealth and skills, he is still so cautious, it is really unimaginable.
In fact, the relationship between Hanhai Trading Company and Fengyulou was not a secret at all in the eyes of Wang Xutian's family, but Liu Han was still so cautious that he had to dodge even to see him, and he had to be in the second half of the night.
"What about them?" Reina asked again, Lao Huang shook his head: "I don't know, I don't think I will come here directly." I know what the shopkeeper is thinking, or worrying about. β
Reina looked at him, and Lao Huang smiled: "Don't think that if Liufu is attacked, they will conclude that we did it, in fact, they can't really judge who made the shot, because they know very well that my shopkeeper is still in the city, so they will guess whether it is the reinforcements from the Demon Gate who have arrived, or a friend of Fengyulou." β
Rainer couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it turned out that he felt that he was already thoughtful, but this Liu Han's mind was actually more thoughtful than him, and he could actually play tricks with this little thing.
"The reason why they make such a mistake is because they completely underestimate the strength of Hanhai Trading Company. Lao Huang's tone was still so light and calm.
Reina smiled bitterly again, not only did Wang Xutian underestimate the Hanhai Trading Company, but even he underestimated it, the appearance of the masked man made him realize that the Hanhai Trading Company still has a power hidden in the shadows, and this power may be even stronger than the power that Liu Han is showing now.
At this time, Liu Tong sent another summons, which told them that Shen Chen and they had arrived at the villa of Fengyulou, and the battle of Shilipu was over, and Reina's escort killed seven people, wounded four people, and killed nine people on the other side, including the two elders of Yin and Yang and the shadowless hand Lu Dut, and captured four people, including the double hammer Huan Leopard.
Reina couldn't help but shake his head after seeing it, Wang Xutian's three families really spent a lot of money, and even Lu Yu was sent out, Lu Yu is also a famous place in Hebei, although his reputation is not as good as Shi Ping, but he is also famous all over the world, and he is a master of Hebei......
"Now the Wang family, the Xu family, and the Tian family, it's time to stop. Reina's tone was a little wandering, such a loss, if it weren't for a thousand-year-old family like Wang Xu, it would really be unbearable to change to a slightly smaller family.
"It's hard to say," Lao Huang shook his head and said, "These gate valve families are like maggots attached to the bones, and it is very difficult to get rid of them. β
"What kind of people can they send?" Reina asked rhetorically, Shi Ping, a middle-grade grandmaster, Lu Du, a rumor in the rivers and lakes, a second-grade grandmaster, a second-grade grandmaster, a second-grade martial artist, a two-old man of yin and yang, an eighth-grade martial artist, and Huan Leopard, elite masters, all folded in the imperial capital, Wang Xutian's family, and their strength declined rapidly, even if they could still send masters, would Jizhou Laochao still want it?
"Why doesn't Shopkeeper Liu take advantage of the victory to pursue?" Reiner asked tentatively, after these two battles, the masters of Wang Xutian's three families in the imperial capital were almost exhausted, if Liu Han pursued the victory now, he could completely annihilate the three families in Beijing in one fell swoop.
"Why do you want to pursue?" Lao Huang asked rhetorically, Reina was stunned at first, and Lao Huang immediately sighed: "You, you have been in the imperial capital for so many years, and you don't know these gate valve families, if they want to be so easy to deal with, the prince will not ,..... Alas, let's put it this way, let's fight back tonight, tomorrow they will be able to gather another group of men, how many gates are there around the imperial capital?
Reina sighed, knowing that he was underestimating the enemy again, the gate valves in the world were all interconnected, don't look at the heavy losses of Wang Xutian's three families, but if they were willing to bow their heads and ask for help from the gate valves around the imperial capital, they could immediately pull up a group of people again.
It seems that next, Liu Han is going to try to negotiate with them, but is the gate valve willing to negotiate?
The two began to chat again, and after a while, the next person brought food, and the two quickly ate, the night was already a little cold, and the two moved to the room to continue chatting, this time the two did not talk about Wang Xutian's family, but turned to talk about books.
Lao Huang used to be a trusted advisor of the prince of Shaoyang in the palace of Shaoyang County, and he was very knowledgeable, Rena was born in Yingchuan Academy, and he was also well-read, familiar with the classics of various schools of Taoism, and the two of them met opponents in chess and talked very happily. However, soon, Reina discovered that Lao Huang's views had changed.
"My Dajin Dynasty is based on farming, this concept needs to be discussed," Lao Huang Tan Xing was very strong: "Don't think that you were born in Yingchuan Academy, in fact, although my shopkeeper does not read much, but his insights are extraordinary, he thinks that agriculture and industry are indispensable, taking agriculture as an example, agriculture and farming, but how many people can the land support? 100 million, 200 million? As the country continues to live in peace, the population naturally rises, and when the population rises to a certain extent, the land cannot support so many people, so that to a certain extent, the population must be diverted, and the surplus rural population must be transferred to the cities, to the workshops and commerce. β
"Sir, I misunderstood, isn't a workshop a business the same!" Reiner corrected, he felt that this point of view was unusual, not that the population could not be supported by the increase in land, but that the population should be transferred to workshops and commerce, the former, Shilin had already decided, however, Shilin proposed to suppress land annexation, so Taizu stipulated the maximum amount of land that each family could occupy, so the imperial court checked the land in Chen State, all because of this.
"Hehe, the shopkeeper has set a new term for the workshop, industry, workmanship, agriculture, and restaurants, teahouses, cloth shops, grain merchants, these are businesses. Lao Huang explained: "You see, those female workers just now, they work four hours a day, produce two pieces of cloth, each piece of cloth costs five taels of silver, their daily wage is eight copper coins, plus some other expenses, they can earn two to three taels of silver a month, such an income can completely support their families, how many displaced people are there in the world? β
Reina couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and his brows gradually condensed.
