Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 19: Upstart

Published:

In the carriage, Lu Taiyong and Zhang Tianliu sat looking at each other, one was calm and the other was extremely arrogant.

In front of the car, the driver of the Lu family was frightened. He did not expect that Xiahou Zhai would dare to offend the master. Although he was from the Xiahou family, the master was also from the Lu family. The Xiahou family in Xiguan was too far behind the Lu family. Why do you dare to be so arrogant? Do you really think you are the Xiahou of Kunyang County?

But his duty is only to drive the car. How can he dare to overstep his authority without being told by the master to do other things.

Behind the carriage, a white deer hurried slowly and slowly, barely able to keep up, but it was also thrown some distance away. As a result, Ah Qi on the white deer could not hear a word.

The white deer was bought temporarily. Although the value is as high as ten gold, it ranks ninth among mounts. Moreover, this white deer still has some miscellaneous hair and is not pure. In fact, it can be won with six gold. Unfortunately, Ah Qi She had no experience, so Zhang Tianliu gave her ten gold to buy a mount to keep up with her. She had no concept of money and naturally said to the store: “Give me a batch of ten gold mounts.”

Why would you be a businessman if others didn’t kill you?

In the car, Lu Taiyong finally spoke first: “Tell me, what do you want to do?”

Zhang Tianliu grinned and said: “I think Uncle Lu has really misunderstood my nephew. He has said that wealth lies with the people. If you move the mountain, the bandits will cut it with one knife. Once it is cut, it will be over. The people are the top priority!”

“Can you make it clear what your plans are? Don’t talk about him.”

Zhang Tianliu nodded, sat upright, the smile disappeared from his face, and turned to say cautiously: “The problem in Lianshan is not the bandits, but all parties, and it is not ruled out that your Lu family is a part of it. How deep is the water in it?” No one can understand it, and we don’t need to understand it. As long as we go along with the current situation, we can make money and silence them at the same time.”

“What’s the explanation?” Lu Taiyong became interested.

He knew the situation in Lianshan, and he had actually guessed Zhang Tianliu’s thoughts to some extent. But because of this, he felt that it was impossible to attack the common people, and he would be surrounded and suppressed by all major forces!

“Uncle Lu, is it difficult to move forward?”

Lu Taiyong nodded and said nothing.

“Then you might as well take advantage of it.”

“How to take advantage of the situation?”

Zhang Tianliu said with a smile: “Since no one is willing to help Uncle Lu, you might as well comply with their wishes and set up a caravan yourself to buy mountain treasures at a high price. If the people are rich, you will also make money. After winning the hearts of the people, he will go to Lianshan It will go smoother and smoother.”

“This…isn’t possible. If I do it and other families don’t care about it, I’m afraid someone in my Lu family won’t be happy!”

It’s not that Lu Taiyong has never thought of this way, but it is too difficult. If he destroys the entire interest group by himself, the consequences can be imagined.

“There is a saying in the art of war: if the enemy does not move, lure the snake out of its hole.”

Lu Taiyong was stunned, thinking about it for a moment but couldn’t figure it out, and asked: “My nephew, please explain it clearly!”

“Uncle Lu, apart from the mountain bandits, was out of righteousness, for the people, and for the sake of the country and the country. No one can use this as an excuse. So it can be used as an excuse to build a caravan to buy mountain treasures at high prices and transport them to outside the county, deliberately attracting bandits. Come to rob, and at the same time secretly unite with the county magistrate to ambush the troops, and catch the bandits as soon as they come out. If successful, you can leave some alive and take the stronghold directly. If you lose, haha, this is a defeat. It can only be that the bandits learned the news and stopped coming. In this case, Uncle Lu can also transport mountain treasures to other places for sale openly. Behind you is the Lu family of Lu Xi. Who dares to touch you outside this mountain?”

Only then did Lu Taiyong understand Xia Houxian’s plan!

He is indeed a genius who can enter the Imperial Academy. He is so good at calculations at a young age, and he really has a bright future.

Lu Taiyong wanted to follow Xia Houzhai’s plan. The Lu family not only would not interfere, but also strongly supported it, because although his Lu family had a share in this road, it only made a small profit. Many forces are under attack, and this step of his can directly elevate the Lu family’s status in Lianshan to its peak!

In this way, his status in the Lu family will naturally increase!

Sure enough, getting rich lies with the people!

As for the so-called high-price acquisition, this high price is actually ten times the current price, which is enough for Lu Taiyong to make him crazy!

“My nephew is the one who wakes up the dreamer. It turns out that the thing that has been bothering me is so simple. Well, if this happens, my nephew will benefit from it. How about 10%? My nephew doesn’t have to do anything. You can be as carefree as you want! Now, I actually hope that the bandits will stop coming out and just continue to stay in the mountains. When I make enough money from the caravan, you can do whatever you want! Hahaha…”

Lv Taiyong’s proud laughter made the carriage roar and attract countless people on the street to look sideways. It also disturbed many alien beasts and almost caused a disaster of alien beast riots.

Lu Taiyong originally wanted to go to the county magistrate to continue discussing the fight against the thieves, but he didn’t have any hope, but after chatting with Zhang Tianliu, he couldn’t wait to see the county magistrate!

After Zhang Tianliu finished explaining his plan, he got out of the car with an excuse and told Lu Taiyong where he lived. Under Lu Taiyong’s grateful eyes, he waved to Ah Qi who was coming from afar.

The Lu family’s carriage drove away, while Zhang Tianliu shamelessly sat on the white deer with Ah Qi, admiring the beauty’s blushing face, hugging her slim waist, and returning to the inn smelling the fragrance.

In the eyes of many people, Lu Taiyong came to Lianshan to target copycats.

In the eyes of the Zhao family, this is to target us!

But in fact, they only have one purpose, money!

It’s not that no one knows, it’s just that it’s more uncomfortable to block it than to open it up. How many people can give up their fertilizer and let it flow to other people’s fields?

Taking the Zhao family as an example, they will only try their best to block it, thereby pretending that Lu Taiyong will use various methods, but this is not enough. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

Just in time, the first bait Zhang Tianliu threw out to the Zhao family was that they had the same purpose!

You want to know about Lu Taiyong, and I will check him out.

Before, Zhang Tianliu didn’t know about Lu Taiyong, but the Zhao family knew about it. He kept talking to people after he came out of the Zhao family, and the person he was talking to was a rich man’s coachman, just to attract the attention of the Zhao family.

As long as one of these people threatens the Zhao family, can the Zhao family be calm?

So the first step in creating an illusion was successful.

Of course, thanks to Tang Jingcheng’s fake identity before, without him, the Zhao family would not care about Zhang Tianliu at all, and there would be no contact between the two parties.

By the time Zhang Tianliu found out the meaning of the information about Taixue and family emblem, his plan had already been laid.

It was him who lured Tang Jingcheng into the Yamen. He knew very well that Tang Jingcheng was an outrageously honest guy.

He also expected that the first thing Tang Jingcheng would do when he entered the Yamen was to lock him up, so he exposed himself in advance to attract Zhao Anxiao and told Zhao Anxiao his value.

From a smart person’s point of view, is it true or false? Or as the old saying goes, let it slip out!

But this is not enough. Even if the Zhao family rescues him, he will not be able to implement the plan normally because Tang Jingcheng will stop him. If there is no news about the stranger, the moment Zhang Tianliu comes into contact with Lu Taiyong, Tang Jingcheng will appear out of thin air. Tell Lu Taiyong that Xia Houzhai is a liar, then the plan will definitely come to an end, and Zhang Tianliu will be finished as well.

How could Zhang Tianliu, who had made it this far, involve himself? If there was no news about the band, would he have taken this step?

There are too many choices for him, and he can use the Zhao family to cause trouble for Tang Jingcheng.

But it is no longer necessary now. Tang Jingcheng has been restrained by the band. Which is more important, the lives of five people or him being a liar?

The band has already killed someone, and the situation is only getting worse. Tang Jingcheng has no choice but to find the band, so that Zhang Tianliu can lie to others in peace.

As a professional liar, Zhang Tianliu must follow the plan every step he takes, and he must also take into account the unplanned.

From a polite young master to a ruffian, there is a lot of knowledge in this.

Although the Xiahou family is low-key, it is the low-key of the older generation.

In the eyes of many people, Xiguan Xiahou is synonymous with the nouveau riche. As a descendant of a nouveau riche family, you must have some characteristics of the nouveau riche.

Even if the performance is fake, others are willing to believe it, because it has a derogatory meaning. Belief can allow a long-established family to gain superiority and allow mediocre people to find balance.

You are just a nouveau riche. What else do you have besides money? He has a low character, a dandy style, and is a scumbag!

Look what you are wearing? Gold robe, why don’t you cover it up with a black cloak? Do you want to appear low-key and luxurious, a person of substance, cultivation and wealth?

Pretending, too pretentious, I’ve never seen anyone so pretentious!

Lu Taiyong, who even received help, said to the driver in the carriage: “Although this boy from the Xiahou family is smart, he is too arrogant. Look at what he is wearing. It’s funny. He is a monkey. Monkeys can’t look like humans no matter what they wear.”

The coachman chuckled and said: “What the master said is that the Xiahou of Xiguan can only be passed down to three generations. The Lu family has a rich heritage of thousands of years. I thought this person was quite educated before, but it didn’t take long to become a Bad student! By the way, why don’t you mention it to the eldest son and ask him not to have contact with this person in the future? After all, there are so many nobles in Taixue…”

“Yes!” Lu Taiyong nodded and agreed deeply: “Yihong’s friendship with this person is a sign of self-degradation. Now it seems that Xiahou Zhai is not only on vacation for summer vacation, but also for sweeping graves. I’m afraid he has a bad temper. , he came out to relax when it was difficult to move forward in Taixue. Unlike my son, who is dedicated to studying, although it is difficult to make close friends, but the first thing to do when entering Taixue is to enter the inner courtyard. The hard-working students are often the most valued by gentlemen, and they must make friends. , naturally only students from the inner academy are worthy of my son.”
