Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 88 This game cannot be lost

The world of martial arts is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.

Chu Wujiang agreed to meet Hong Yanling at the Young Heroes Conference, of course not to settle grudges.

Rather, he just wanted to meet some heroes from all over the world and see if he had a chance to make some extra money.

So Chu Wujiang immediately realized that this was an opportunity to make money and skillfully played the hedging game.

No matter whether we win or lose, we must always make a profit.

The eldest son of the Zhenhai Marquis' Mansion did not expect Chu Wujiang to do such a thing, and was immediately in a state of confusion.

Chu Wujiang did not urge him, but said with a smile:

"Young Lord, take your time to think about it. There is still plenty of time."

"If the young marquis wants to guarantee 100% success, Chu can cooperate in the acting."

Talk, you can talk.

As long as you have the secret treasure of luck, I can pretend to lose to you.

For Chu Wujiang, the prize for young hero may not be attractive, but the secret treasure of luck is what he needs most.

[Too insidious! ]

[Seventh sister, you must open your eyes wide and see clearly.]

[This guy is more sinister than Di Guangzhu. You can't make the wrong judgment on him just because he's handsome.]

Hong Tao slandered wildly in his heart, but he could only sigh:
"Xiao Hou naturally understands."

"My sister wants to fulfill her wish, Xiao Hou will definitely help her."

“But Lord Longcheng, ten fortune secret treasures are too many.”

Is it too much?

In fact, ordinary auspicious items only cost a few thousand taels of silver, but the Chu family has been buying them up crazily in recent years and has been raising the prices all the way.

But the normal price range is still very clear. For example, an auspicious item with one hundred points of white luck would cost around ten thousand taels of silver.

Unless it is a secret treasure like [Guanyin who Gives Children] that can help a family prosper, it will be auctioned for more than 100,000 taels.

Chu Wujiang was not in a hurry to bargain, and chuckled:

"Don't worry, young marquis. We still have half a year."

"The matter of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is more critical."

“If the Zhenhai Marquisate can catch the mastermind behind the Wangui Sect, Chu can even provide free services.”

Other things in Longzhou can be dealt with slowly, such as revenge on Fengyu Tower and dealing with Lord Zhongyong. These can be put aside for later, but he is not at all confident about a force like the Wangui Sect.

Who knows, I might give you a big blow.

Even the real Picture of a Hundred Ghosts had been sent back to Mangshan through Yanluo.

But it will be troublesome if we can’t find the mastermind behind the incident.

Hong Tao also showed an expression of deep agreement:

"Don't worry, Lord Longcheng. My father has killed the leader of the merman tribe, Haiyuan, and is leading the troops to advance victoriously."

"We will arrive at Dragon City in three days."

"With my father here, there's no need to worry about the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect causing trouble!"

Successful transition?

Why does this word sound a bit unlucky?

Chu Wujiang asked tentatively:

"Young Marquis, what are the mermaids?"

Hong Tao hesitated at first, then showed a look of disgust on his face and explained:
"They are humanoid monsters that live in the ocean. They are very difficult to deal with and are good at attacking ships in the sea."

"Every year, more than half of the ships of the Zhenhai Marquisate sink to the bottom of the sea because of them."

"So the Zhenhai Marquisate has been committed to exterminating the mermaid clan."

"What's even more troublesome is that these mermaids are often able to control the strange beasts in the sea and attack together."

"But my father finally won a great victory recently, and everything is no longer a problem."

"The sea will be much calmer."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Wujiang suddenly remembered that Lu Ce once told him that the reason why Zhenhai Marquisate was trying to seize the Chu family's foundation was that they were facing wave after wave of sea beasts and could no longer hold on.

[If my guess is correct, although the Zhenhai Marquisate defeated the leader of the merman tribe this time, it must have paid a very painful price.]

[So the Zhenhai Marquisate prepared to return to the mainland to avoid the tide. ]

[What do you mean the sea is much calmer? I guess the young marquis doesn't want people to see the flaws.] [That makes sense.]

[The Zhenhai Marquisate seemed a little too weak in the face of the Chu family's attack.]

Hong Yanling has stayed in Piaomiao Palace for a long time learning martial arts and does not know enough about family affairs. Hong Tao is responsible for the interests of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion on the mainland, so he is more likely to compromise.

Chu Wujiang's brain was working rapidly, connecting the dealings of these days with the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, and suddenly everything became clear to him.

[Zhenhaihou Mansion is different from other nobles. They fought fiercely at sea and occupied many islands. Their annual output is not low.]

[For example, Zhenhaihou Mansion sold nearly half of Longzhou’s catch, including precious fish, pearls, corals and other seafood.]

[Since they are always in combat, their guards have more experience in killing and are stronger.]

【Logically speaking, they should have been more aggressive. 】

[I originally thought that they were afraid of the noble families joining forces, but now it seems that the bigger reason is probably the pressure from the sea.]

[Even if they did not obtain enough land in Longzhou, they had to temporarily give in and return to the mainland.]

Chu Wujiang figured everything out.

Perhaps Hong Tao did not expect that he had only briefly mentioned the information about the mermaids, but Chu Wujiang had seen through everything at once.

Chu Wujiang immediately further probed:

"It is really admirable that Zhenhaihou Mansion guards the ocean and kills aliens."

Hong Tao also said with a little pride:

"Although the ocean is dangerous, it does have many treasures. If Lord Longcheng is interested, we can jointly explore the islands we explored last time."

Then let the Chu family project their power into the ocean and help the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion resist the strange beasts, right?

Chu Wujiang suddenly understood why the young marquis used the pristine island as compensation last time.

[Under the attack of the merman tribe, the area that Zhenhaihou Mansion can control is limited. ]

[So the young marquis doesn't care about giving away the island on the sea, because it is also a trap. ]

[You are as insidious as I am. ]

Chu Wujiang chuckled, nodded and said:

"Chu is happy to do so."

"But the tide is coming, so we'd better stay on land first."

"I'm afraid the Marquis of Zhenhai will lead most of the people back to land this time."

Hong Tao was no fool. He suddenly realized that the other party might have noticed something, and immediately laughed dryly:

"After staying at sea for a long time, you will naturally miss the land."

"Although we have tried our best to develop some islands, they are still far behind Longzhou..."

Chu Wujiang did not expose the other party's disguise, but whispered:

"Young Marquis, I have a business deal to discuss with the Marquis of Zhenhai."

The other people in the arena had already dispersed. Upon hearing this, Hong Tao subconsciously spoke:

"Is Xiao Hou not okay?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Perhaps the Zhenhai Marquisate can acquire a large piece of land."

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery also owns a large amount of land, but he is naturally far inferior to the Chu family.

But at least it can accommodate a large number of people in Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

Hong Tao couldn't help swallowing his saliva and whispered:

"Sir, are you serious about this?"

Chu Wujiang laughed softly:
"The premise is that Zhenhai Marquis Mansion must prove that it has no relationship with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

"As for the content of the transaction, I will only communicate with the Marquis of Zhenhai."

Hong Tao nodded immediately and said:
"No problem, Xiao Hou will notify my father immediately."

The eldest son of the Zhenhai Marquis's Mansion was also an impatient person. He left in a hurry and even saved Chu Wujiang's spiritual rice.

The more helpers the better.

Marquis Zhenhai has returned to the mainland, Marquis Jingping has recovered from his injuries, and the two great Yuanling realm masters are stationed in Longcheng. I don’t know how I can lose.

When Chu Wujiang thought of this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Fu, bring the mirage pearl here."
