Chapter 129 Take the initiative
It turned out that thanks to some kind of "real vision" he experienced in advance, when the so-called "earth-burrowing sandworm" Liu Hong appeared, Zhao Chen saw an illusory black line above his head that others could not detect.
Guessing that the opponent is just a chess piece being manipulated.
Zhao Chen, as a Taoist official, killed him forcefully for three main purposes.
First, directly destroy the plan of the person behind the scenes, take the initiative into your own hands, and take the opportunity to spy on the possible identity of the person behind the scenes.
The second is to establish prestige, borrowing the life of a well-known horse thief leader to establish his own prestige. In this way, his own wine business will naturally avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Third, he deliberately showed some of his "trump cards" to the people behind the scenes, causing them to misjudge his own strength.
After all, Zhao Chen and Qi Feimeng have so many trump cards, and Yan Hongxia’s sword energy actually doesn’t rank high.
Judging from the results, in addition to achieving the goal of establishing prestige, Zhao Chen can also judge that the Xie family of Black Wind Castle is likely to have a lot of ill intentions towards his caravan.
"The person who manipulated Liu Hong to test him, even if he is not the Xie family, is inseparable from them.
"This is because the prey has set its sights on me as a 'hunter' first...
"Well, to use the words of someone in the previous life, the Xie family already has a way to die.
"I just don't know what their purpose is... I don't think I've reached the point where I hate people and dogs, right?"
While his thoughts were spinning, Zhao Chen pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, walked slowly on the street filled with sunset, and returned to his caravan.
At this time, Qi Feimeng's voice came to his ears:
"The people in the restaurant have already left... There were two of them, and one of them in blood-stained clothes was probably a mana expert, so I didn't dare to get too close.
"Another high probability is Xie Shuyi, the current head of the Xie family in Black Wind Castle. He and the man in the blood-red robe are not of the same mind, and he even plans to reap the benefits.
"But what is certain is that they are indeed coming for our team, but the specific purpose they want to achieve is unknown."
——When Zhao Chen attacked Liu Hong, Qi Feimeng, who had a tacit understanding with him, had already used the "Toad Light" ribbon to sneak into the restaurant to find out the news based on what he said.
At this time, although Zhao Chen couldn't see Qi Feimeng's person, he was sure that she was beside him, so he stretched out his left hand to the outside.
Sure enough, a delicate and soft palm immediately intertwined with his hand.
"For us, Liu Hong's actions just now are enough to alert the snake. If the sun was not about to set, it would be a normal choice for us to leave the city immediately and rush to the next station.
"So if they really want to get something from our caravan, they will definitely take action tonight." Zhao Chen said in his heart.
Qi Feimeng nodded in agreement after sensing these words, and then asked: "So, what are you going to do?"
"Of course we have to strike first! Do you really want to wait for them to attack and then fight back?" Zhao Chen smiled and continued in his heart, "But just in case, I would like to ask Fei Meng to stay in the caravan.
I went to the Xie family’s fortress alone.”
Thinking of this, he paused for a moment before adding, "As 'Wang Daoyi'."
After the two briefly exchanged a few words, they initially finalized the plan. At this time, Feng Cang, Mo Qiu and others finally came to their senses and looked at Zhao Chen with a little more complexity.
Feng Cang has always known that his junior brother is the seed of cultivation, but he never thought that he would be much different from his opponent before. After all, he practices the direct transmission of the Yu Wang Sect, while his junior brother only practices the "Golden Metal" which cannot be accurately interpreted by the core mental method.
"Secret Record of the Twelve Gates of Lou Jade Chamber".
But now it seems that he was terribly wrong.
A master of four orifices, at least three masters of the true energy realm, plus a dozen gunmen, this configuration is enough to make some monks of seven orifices quit in the face of difficulties, but in the hands of the junior brother, they can only last a dozen breaths
.
Although he knew that the junior brother must have deliberately built up his momentum, used his power to overwhelm others, and dug loopholes in the enemy's heart, so that he could easily succeed...
But knowing how to confront each other with energy, fight mentally, and take advantage of situations is part of a master's strength!
Isn't the junior brother able to compete with the newly formed monks in the inner world? But he hasn't even opened his eyes yet... Feng Cang is secretly frightened, feeling that if he doesn't work hard, he will probably be left behind by his junior brother.
Behind me...
So in order not to fall behind... I'd better put down poetry and songs for now... Anyway, no matter how hard I try, I can't write poems that satisfy Miss Lin in a short time.
Thinking of this, Feng Cang finally felt relieved. God knows how uncomfortable it was for him to study poems in "Peiwen Yunfu" this day.
On the other side, Mo Qiu subconsciously reached out and touched the "Yinshan Taoist Book" secret book hidden on his chest. He couldn't help but look forward to the future when he could be as happy as Mr. Chen and get rid of that person's shadow.
She didn't notice at all that her little apprentice Ning Meng was drooling at Zhao Chen, and the red in her eyes became even brighter.
Speaking of which, Ning Meng had been avoiding Zhao Chen all day because she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress the impulse in her heart. However, that feeling became more and more intense as time went by, and she was now very worried about her willpower.
……
There is no need to go into detail about the process of selling Bingquan wine to various wine shops. After Zhao Chen had just established his authority, no wine shop dared to refuse it, and even offered good prices.
As the drinks were sold, Zhao Chen finally determined that this kind of true businessmanship was of no use to the master of the "Travel Merchant" position, but it was almost negligible.
Not to mention anything else, the improvement that the previous transaction with Mo Qiu brought to Zhao Chen was equivalent to doing this business hundreds of times.
"Pretending like this is not as fast as meditating and practicing seriously...
"Well, the alias of 'Traveling Merchant' is 'Deputy Envoy of Galaxy Transport'.
"And if you want to 'transport the stars', you must rely on the 'Great Sun and Stars'...
"As I thought before, I have to sell products certified by the 'Dainichi Xingcha' and make a profit from them!"
Zhao Chen, who finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the role of Lu Wei, sighed slightly, then entered the "Big Sun Star Cha", clicked on the "Jade Book", and spent 1,000 star coins to exchange for the identity and aura of "Wang Daoyi", and blessings.
On myself.
Although 1,000 star coins are quite expensive, in this state, Zhao Chen can use the "Purple Light Ring" to borrow the power of supernatural powers at any time.
Although this kind of borrowed combat power is not as good as the direct exchange for "Wang Daoyi", the cost of continuous combat is much lower.
After getting ready, Zhao Chen nodded lightly to Qi Feimeng, who was in the same room, and then jumped out of the hotel window and headed straight for the Xie Family Castle.
