Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 721: In the way of Jianghu people
bsp;Facing the Yuwen family, Su Peng is not afraid of them if only considering their military strength.
After all, the combined strength of the Liangzhou Army and the Yuncheng Demon Army is almost twice that of the Yuwen Family. The Yuwen Family is at a disadvantage at this point.
However, the plague controlled by the Yuwen family is what Su Peng is most afraid of.
This time, the plague that occurred in Liaocheng was leaked. Su Peng guessed that it was not the kind of plague controlled by the Yuwen family, but another source of plague that somehow affected Liaocheng, causing the current situation in Liaocheng.
According to the contents of Yuwen Wuji's letter that Su Peng read, the plague in Yuwen's family cannot be the plague in Liaocheng, no matter in terms of manifestation or other aspects.
So, the Yuwen family at least controls another source of plague.
If the Yuwen family really doesn't care about anything else and uses the source of the plague to attack Su Peng's area, Su Peng really has no solution.
This time I was lucky. In reality, there happened to be a special medicine to treat the plague in Liaocheng. If there is no such special medicine for the next plague, Su Peng really doesn't know how to deal with it.
The fact that I am aware of the Yuwen family’s plague offensive today is to point it out in advance so that the Yuwen family can take it into account and not to use this plague weapon easily, so that the other party will be more wary.
To put it bluntly, it is to give the Yuwen family eye drops in advance so that the other party can exercise restraint.
Although Su Peng didn't say it clearly, Yuwen Wuji, who was extremely thin, seemed to have understood what Su Peng meant.
I just heard him sit down and say to Su Peng at the negotiating table: "What Mr. Su just said is too much to worry about. Plagues are relatively rare, how can they happen continuously? Liaocheng and Yuzhou, it will take a while Time to restore strength."
"That's good." Su Peng listened to the other party's words. Knowing that the other party understood what he meant, he nodded to him and said: "Now, let's talk about the matter in Liaocheng. Several of you have also seen that the current situation in Liaocheng is that I am handling the affairs here. You gave up at the beginning. Liaocheng, and I cured the raging plague in Liaocheng. From this perspective, the ownership of Liaocheng is now in my hands, right?"
"That's wrong!" After hearing this, the white-haired Yuwen Shang said to Su Peng: "As we all know, Liaocheng has always been the base of the Yuwen family, but this time you..."
Halfway through Yuwen Shang's words, Yuwen Wuji's hand next to him pressed down on Yuwen Shang's hand on the table. interrupted Yu Wenshang's speech.
"Cousin, we are all smart people here. We are talking about these things. We are looking down on Mr. Su too much." Yuwen Wuji pressed Yuwen Shang's hand with his hand and said to Yuwen Shang in a calm tone. .
After hearing this, Yuwen Shang seemed to be convinced and said nothing more about the history of Liaocheng.
Su Peng saw it and understood in his heart that he would come forward this time. Maybe Yuwen Wuji is still the main one, and Yuwen Shang just relies on his seniority to control the situation.
"Mr. Su, I won't say any more. I admit that you are the actual controller of Liaocheng now. However, Mr. Su should also understand that it is imperative for our Yuwen family to return to Liaocheng. Yuwen Wuji looked at Su Peng and said to him: "Although I think your promise may be very slim, but because of the intentions of some elders in the clan, I still ask, does Mr. Su have any intention of selling Liaocheng? If you are willing?" The Yuwen family is willing to pay 100,000 taels of gold to buy the ownership of Liaocheng."
After hearing this, Su Peng couldn't help but smile and said: "One hundred thousand taels of gold? It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a pity that Liaocheng is worth much more than this. I won't sell it."
Just kidding, let’s not talk about the extremely important strategic value of Liaocheng. The people and various commercial places in Liaocheng are worth more than 100,000 taels of gold. The Yuwen family wanted to buy it back to Liaocheng if they offered 100,000 taels of gold. It's simply wishful thinking.
Yuwen Wuji also smiled when he heard this, and said: "I don't think Mr. Su will sell it, but I always have to ask what I said just now... Okay, now let me ask Mr. Su, are you with my Yuwen family? Just like that, you don’t want to resort to war, but want to find a relatively gentle way to deal with Liaocheng’s affairs?”
"If possible, I have this wish." Su Peng nodded and said to Yuwen Wuji: "We all know that if our two families start a war, other forces will benefit. If possible, I don't want to Our two families are really at war with each other, and it would be best if we could use a milder method to resolve the matter in Liaocheng."
"That's great." After hearing this, Yuwen Wuji gently patted the table with his hand and said to Su Peng: "Mr. Su, I have a suggestion. Since neither you nor our family will be attacked by weapons, If it is painful, then how about changing the large-scale war into a small-scale battle in the arena and relying on the arena to decide the ownership of Liaocheng?"
"A battle between rivers and lakes?"
Su Peng felt a little surprised after hearing this. He looked at Yuwen Wuji and asked him: "What kind of competition mode is there?"
"It's very simple." Yuwen Wuji saw that Su Peng seemed to be a little moved, and continued to say to Su Peng: "Since Mr. Su has become the great priest of Liangzhou, he can naturally mobilize many masters of Liangzhou, and so can our Yuwen family. To control a state, there are also some masters with good martial arts skills. In this way, you and I will send five people each to fight in the ring. In the end, whoever wins with more rings will get the ownership of Liaocheng. The loser will , you can’t use weapons against each other, what do you think, Mr. Su?”
"Huh?" After hearing this, Su Peng was a little surprised by Yuwen Wuji's creativity. He actually wanted to turn a large-scale military struggle into an apocalyptic battle between rivers and lakes, which was a bit novel.
"Is there an agreement...I'm afraid there is something wrong." After Su Peng heard this, he looked at Yuwen Wuji and said: "Previously, your Yuwen family had signed a treaty with Yuwen regarding the Yuncheng incident, saying that they would not attack. Yuncheng, but I got the news that before the Liaocheng plague, what you did was to use Liaocheng’s troops to attack Yuncheng, where I belong. I don’t really believe in your Yuwen family’s agreement.”
"Then what about Dakong Temple as a guarantee?" Yuwen Wuji asked Su Peng with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Oh?" After hearing this, Su Peng turned to look at Shi Weixin and asked: "Master Shi Weixin, is your Dakong Temple willing to guarantee the Yuwen family?"
"Amitabha." After hearing this, Shi Weixin sang the Buddha's name and said, "The weapons are unknown. Once a war breaks out, the people of Yuzhou and Liangzhou will be affected and poisoned. Donor Yuwen Wuji proposed to replace the war with a battle between rivers and lakes, but it failed. It is a great act of kindness. For such a act of kindness, I, Dakong Temple, are willing to guarantee the Yuwen family. Firstly, we will ensure that the Yuwen family abide by the agreement, and secondly, we will ensure the safety of both parties... No matter where the competition is, we will guarantee the safety of both parties involved in the competition. Safe."
"Master, you are quite compassionate." Su Peng nodded after hearing this. Not to mention, what Dakong Temple did was quite authentic.
If Dakong Temple acts as a guarantee, then due to the relationship between Dakong Temple and the Puning Sword Sect behind the Yuwen family, it is really worthwhile to participate in this arena competition.
Although the Puning Sword Sect is behind the Yuwen family and there should be many masters, but in Liangzhou, Xu Huaiyu has spent a lot of money to hire masters for many years. Although Liangzhou does not have a particularly large martial arts sect, there are also many masters in the Governor's Office. In terms of quality, it may not be inferior to those of the Puning Sword Sect.
And if it is a battle between rivers and lakes, Su Peng himself can also play. Su Peng still has some confidence in his own force.
"I am somewhat interested..." Su Peng said, and then asked: "It's just that I have occupied Liaocheng, but you don't have Liaocheng. Just relying on the victory or defeat of a battle, you want to take back the city. Doesn't it seem right? Are you taking advantage of me?"
"There is such a suspicion." Yuwen Wuji nodded after hearing this, and said: "In this way, Liaocheng is not ownerless now, but is occupied by Mr. Su. It does seem that we have taken advantage. However, I have already considered that I am willing to pay an extra 50,000 taels of gold as a supplement. If Mr. Su wins, he can win the gold and the ownership of Liaocheng together. If we win, Mr. Su does not have to pay anything more. Yes, we also put this bet money with Master Shi Weixin and Dakong Temple will be the guarantee. What does Mr. Su think?"
Hearing this, Su Peng nodded. The money in the bet was not much, but from this point, the sincerity of the Yuwen family could be seen.
"What about the specific competition, and the location of the arena? Where is it?" Su Peng asked again.
"The way of fighting is that each side has five people, and they compete in the arena. Each time, one person from each side comes on stage, and then they compete. If they cannot continue fighting, they will admit defeat or die, and the winning side will be considered a loser. The winning side can choose How about stepping down and substituting someone else to fight again, or continuing the fight. Substituting yourself does not count as a loss, but you cannot enter again. In the end, whoever wins the most arenas will be the winner. How about this? ”
Yuwen Wuji asked Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded, and then asked: "Where is the location?"
"The location is in the Puning Sword Sect on the Wugong Mountain in Yuzhou... Mr. Su, there are several reasons for thinking about this. First, the Wugong Mountain of the Puning Sword Sect is a famous mountain in the world, and it is a good idea to compete there. Not to mention humiliating Mr. Su and this competition, secondly, for this competition, my Yuwen family will invite fellow Jianghu people to come and watch the ceremony, so as to supervise both sides of the competition. If you don't admit the victory or defeat, you will be ridiculed by the martial arts people in the world. It was also a reminder. In this way, it would be a bit disrespectful for the Puning Sword Sect to place the competition venue elsewhere, so it was finally decided to be at Wugong Mountain. As for the third place, Mr. Su, this time I will come to Liaocheng alone. You dare to come, Mr. Su, you are not afraid of going to my Yuwen family’s territory, are you?”
Yuwen Wuji looked at Su Peng and said to Su Peng.
Hearing this, Su Peng thought for a while, finally raised his head, and said with a casual smile: "That's fine, then I will make an agreement with you to decide the fate of Liaocheng in a battle between rivers and lakes at Wugong Mountain where the Puning Sword Sect is located. Belong!" (To be continued...)
