Chapter 59 Cooperation
Although the Meng family in Nan'an is not a family with nine surnames and thirteen, it is still a wealthy family and a noble family in the world.
Not to mention the many masters, in Nan'an and even Jizhou, they are like local tyrants, and their influence is astonishing.
He did not expect that the young man who saved him turned out to be from the Meng family in Nan'an, and what he said was very realistic.
Of course, it is impossible for someone to take a big risk to save him for nothing, but for something.
It’s not like he’s full of food or showing kindness. If he doesn’t agree, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be.
Moreover, this innate master had just secretly raised his vitality and discovered that although there was a vital energy in his body that was repairing the injuries in his body.
But at the same time, there was also an obscure Qi force that was like a fishing net, covering his whole body's Qi, making it difficult for him to bring in his true Qi.
Moreover, his muscles and bones were soft and his hands and feet were numb. If he hadn't also practiced martial arts, it would have been difficult to even sit up.
This made him feel frightened and annoyed. He didn't know what the other party had done to his body. It was so weird.
However, he did not directly expose the fragile relationship between the two parties, but frowned and said coldly,
"It turns out he is from the Meng family in Nan'an. No wonder he has such a loud tone.
It's just that you don't even know my origins, and you want me to do things for you. Aren't you afraid of taking in a heinous and unscrupulous villain?"
Meng Zhao smiled slightly when he saw that although the other party's tone was cold, the information revealed in his words was already loosening up.
"It doesn't make any difference to me whether you are a good person or a bad person. I don't care whether you are a man of hair and blood or a despicable and sinister person.
All I care about is your martial arts and whether it can be used by me.
As long as you meet these two requirements, even if you are the enemy of the whole world, I still dare to use you."
Not to mention the slightly sinister appearance and temperament of this innate master, looking at his behavior today, using innocent people as a shield to delay his opponents, it is clear that he is by no means a kind person.
Since Meng Zhao could see this a long time ago, he was certainly mentally prepared accordingly.
In everything, there are gains and losses. Compared to this innate master's outstanding achievements in martial arts, the vicious flaws in his character are actually not that difficult to accept as long as they don't backfire on him.
The way to employ people is to give full play to their talents. Meng Zhao's use of him is nothing more than killing people and protecting himself.
As long as the opponent's martial arts recovers, it will definitely meet Meng Zhao's expectations perfectly. In this case, why can't it be used?
The reason why Meng Zhao is so eager to gain an innate combat power is actually related to his current situation.
After all, he is a "spy" sent to the Meng family by other forces.
Although this word sounds unpleasant, it is true.
Of course, Meng Zhao was not willing to be a pawn, so he did everything he could to make friends with the Meng family, regain and digest the power of the second family, and recruit such masters to be used by him. The purpose was nothing more than to accumulate strength and wait for a comeback. Just that day.
As long as the power at hand is stronger and the more cards are in hand, the possibility of future success will be greater.
To put it bluntly, Meng Zhao looks glamorous now, but in fact he has entered an extremely dangerous path. All he does and thinks is nothing more than survival.
Only by truly surviving can you be qualified to talk about ideals, ambitions, and ambitions, otherwise it will all be just a fantasy.
So it doesn't matter to him who is a good guy or a bad guy.
This innate master did not expect Meng Zhao to have such an opinion. He coughed a few times, remained silent for a moment, and said,
"You can call me Shi Jie, and I can tell you clearly that I am not a good person, and I have more than a thousand dead souls on my hands.
And if Shen Tianci knows that you are related to me, the Meng family in Nan'an will not be able to protect you, so why don't you change your mind?"
Meng Zhao turned his head slightly and faced Lu Le behind him, his clear and bright eyes showing a hint of exploration and questioning.
The name Shi Jie was very unfamiliar, and he had no impression of it, so he wanted to see if Lu Le had heard of it.
Lu Leneng was able to guess Shen Tianci's identity based only on his martial arts skills and appearance and age, and he was obviously very knowledgeable.
When I first heard the word Shi Jie, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought and recollection, but I got nothing and shook my head vaguely.
When Shi Jie saw the two people's little moves, he immediately pointed out.
"The name Shi Jie is my pseudonym. You don't need to explore the origin of my identity. In short, I should be an unknown person in Jizhou."
Meng Zhao frowned slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Shi Jie's concealment.
It can be seen from this that the other party has no intention of taking refuge in him.
This is normal.
If he hadn't fallen into a deadlock, how could he have been manipulated to death by a mere acquired martial artist?
If the coercion is too severe, I am afraid that even this last bit of kindness will be lost, so it is better to take a step back.
Thinking of this, although Meng Zhao could not hide his disappointment, he still calmed down and nodded,
"Okay, since Mr. Shi said that, he means to discuss it, and I'm not just trying to be pretentious.
If I want an innate master like my husband to willingly work for me, Meng Zhao has insufficient talent and virtue and knows that there is no hope.
In this case, I will propose a new way of cooperation.
I hope to hire my husband to cooperate with me in the next one to two years.
I pay a reward, and my husband helps me kill people or do other things. It must be within the scope of what he can afford.
Two years at the latest and one year at the earliest, I will definitely let you go free, what do you think?"
Meng Zhao, a ghostly person, knew that not all innate masters were like Lu Zhong, so when he found out that there was no chance that the opponent would join him, he immediately changed his mind.
It is impossible to seriously join his banner, so it is possible to maintain a tacit understanding and cooperate with each other for a time limit.
Meng Zhao currently lacks strength and is not qualified to conquer the other party, but with the power of the Meng family, it is definitely feasible to make a deal with the other party.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the vague pressure and chill that had been lingering in the room dissipated and turned into a calm and stable one.
Shi Jie clapped his hands, with a look of appreciation in his eyes for the first time.
"Well, if you know that something cannot be done, you will settle for the next best thing. You are indeed a smart person.
And I just like to cooperate with smart people, so I will do as you say."
After I recover from my injuries, I can change my appearance, shrink my bones, change my identity, and help you do something for the time being.
But correspondingly, the reward for my action cannot be small, and I am not interested in money, so you'd better get more cultivation resources as reward."
This is also his best choice now. If he doesn't even agree to this, his end will definitely be worrying.
Being able to cultivate to the innate level and not being pedantic at all, Shi Jie is still qualified in terms of judging the situation.
After negotiating these, Shi Jie asked frankly.
"The words have been said. As a cooperating party, Meng Xiaozi, are you going to remove the secret hand in my body?"
Hearing this, Lu Le was shocked. He only knew that Meng Zhao asked him to go to the family's child prodigy to get some medicine to treat internal injuries.
Little did he know that Meng Zhao had secretly made a secret move on Shi Jie.
This method and scheming are really scary.
Meng Zhao shook his head and reassured,
"Mr. Shi, please be patient. Some cartilage powder and San Gong Pills will not do any direct harm to Mr. Shi. It is just a little self-protection method for Meng Zhao.
When the time comes, I will naturally unravel these methods for Mr. Shi. Don’t worry, it won’t take too long.”
The time Meng Zhao thinks is when Lu Zhong comes back.
With Lu Zhong by his side, he could suppress Shi Jie's innate arrogance.
