Chapter 613

After the price of salt is cheap, there will be more consumers.Illegal salt sales have also decreased, so tax revenue has increased after the tax cut. This has also increased the consumption power of the people and the degree of market activity.As long as one market is opened up, other markets will also prosper, especially the development of a pillar industry such as salt, which brings great benefits.

Liu Chengjun was thinking about the whole thing while tasting the remaining few buns.In fact, from Liu Chengjun's original intention, he was not willing to be an enemy of Zong Xin.Zong Xin is definitely an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, he can even be said to be a half-god-like existence, and he clearly seeks death if he is an enemy.

But unfortunately, the person Zong Xin supported was Guo Wei, and he supported Guo Wei all the way to defeat his cousin Liu Chengyou and seize his family's country.Although that kid Liu Chengyou is really incompetent and likes to mess around, and he has to blame for the end result, but after all, he is his cousin, after all, he is his family's country. If there is a chance, of course he wants to take it back.

It's just that this chance is too slim, and the more I think about it, the slimmer it becomes.Zong Xin was so powerful that more than 1 soldiers of the Song Clan defeated the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces with as many as 8 horses, and the Song Clan hardly suffered any real losses, all because of Zong Xin's victory in the process of defending the city.

This matter is really too embarrassing, and it also proves that Zong Xin is too powerful, and it is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.So far, the only option is to invite a top expert to directly assassinate Zong Xin. As long as Zong Xin survives, Guo Wei will not perish.

Originally, this time it was very safe, because Zongxin was now defeated by Northern Han and Khitan. The next thing Zongxin has to do is to deal with Datang and Xuzhou where Uncle Murong is located. They must be notified as soon as possible so that they can prepare early , otherwise it will be too late.

It's been more than a month, and I haven't had a good meal, nor have I slept seriously. All this is not for the purpose of arriving in Xuzhou earlier and conveying the news to my third uncle.On the way here, I have heard that the main city of Xuzhou and the west city of Xuzhou are still peaceful. Because the weather is too cold and the two sides have equal forces, they did not attack each other, only a few tentative attacks.

Zong Xin can win with several times less troops than the opponent. If the troops are equal... then there is no need to fight.After resting for a while, he immediately rushed to Xuzhou City to meet his third uncle.There was no hope at this point. After the royal father's defeat in Weizhou, it was useless for these troops to continue to besiege the west city of Xuzhou. It was better to let Li Jing retreat early, and the third uncle was ready to evacuate at any time.

The third uncle's martial arts is good, and he has been a soldier all his life. Although his attainments in the art of war are not high, his bravery is unrivaled.The third uncle was of great help to the unification of the Han Dynasty, so he must not be allowed to die in Xuzhou. If necessary, he would just abandon the city and flee. As long as he could escape back to the Northern Han Dynasty, he would be considered alive.

If the third uncle is unwilling, let the family members go first.I can leave Xuzhou with my third uncle's family first, and send them back when it is safe.

Anyway, as long as the third uncle knows in advance that Beihan is defeated, and then tell them the defeat in detail, let them know the tactics that Zongxin is used to, so that they can be prepared.Otherwise, Zong Xin would directly launch a sneak attack, Xu Zhou might not be able to bear it.

While eating and thinking, soon there was only one bun left in the cage.Liu Chengjun stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly a hand stretched out and quickly took the bun away.

Liu Chengjun was taken aback. There are people snatching buns in this kind of place?Just about to get angry, when I looked back... my soul was scattered, and my whole body was cold.The man who snatched the buns was bald, well-looking, slightly thin, with long eyebrows and tiger eyes. On the head without hair, the two eyebrows were particularly prominent, especially because of the Gouyu scar on his forehead that instantly exposed his identity.

Zong Xin said depressedly: "Boss, today's steamed stuffed bun tastes too bland. Isn't the salt cheap recently? Why don't you want to put more? The stuffing is also full of green onion and ginger, why don't you put more meat?"

"You are expensive, you have eaten me for a few days, now that the army is in a hurry and the business is not easy to do, you can't make me lose money and make money. It is not easy to survive these days, so don't ask too much. By the way, Did you find the person you were looking for?"

"I found it." Zong Xin replied with satisfaction.

"Congratulations, it's really hard to find someone if you lose them these days. I said a few days ago that you won't be able to find them. It's true that lucky people have their own destiny." The boss said excitedly: "What are you going to eat today? ? I treat you as a treat and treat it as congratulations to you."

Liu Chengjun's face was ashen. It seemed that Zong Xin had been waiting for him here for a long time.He is led by a wolf, and his speed is much faster than himself.What's more, this group took the small road by themselves, and Zong Xin would arrive soon if he took the big road.Unexpectedly, he had figured out that he would go to the east gate of Xuzhou to enter the city, it was really amazing.

Zong Xin sat down next to Liu Chengjun, and then said softly: "Are you going to do it yourself, or let me give you a ride? You should be very clear about my martial arts, and you have no chance to escape. I just don't want to put this boss's little The tea shed has been smashed, it’s not easy for the boss to do business.”

"Master Zongxin, I don't intend to be your enemy. As a monk, can you let me survive?" Liu Chengjun knows how powerful Zongxin's martial arts are, although he is also very confident in his own martial arts , but his self-confidence is that he will never be able to beat Zong Xin.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "The military situation is tense, and the poor monk holds tens of thousands of lives in his hands. You cannot let these tens of thousands of people fall into danger just because of you. By the way, you have already looked at this boss three times. , even if you catch my apprentice, I will not let you go, so this time I took no one. If you don't believe me, you can try it and see if I will show mercy."

Liu Chengjun could tell that Zong Xin would not show mercy. He was a big devil who had killed tens of thousands of people with one move, and he would never let him, the person who sent important information, for an old man or Xiaoer he just met.There is a dead end, no matter what Liu Chengjun thinks, it is also a dead end.After all, Zong Xin's martial arts are far superior to his own, and this place is still some distance away from Xuzhou City, why should he eat here?If I had known earlier, I would rush straight into the city...

But Liu Chengjun also noticed that even if he rushed directly into the city, he would be stopped by Zong Xin.After all, this person can pinch and count, and has been waiting here for him.Now that he is full and strong, he may still have a way out.The only way out is of course...

Liu Chengjun gritted his teeth and said, "It's impossible to do it yourself. Let me experience Master Zongxin's martial arts today. I'm still very confident in my palm strength. It depends on whether you can handle it."

Liu Chengjun exercised enough skill to push out two palms directly to Zong Xin.Zong Xin pushed horizontally with one palm, and under the condition of instant movement, he sent Liu Chengjun flying more than ten meters away.

Liu Chengjun stood firm, and then crossed his palms and his whole body was in pain like being burned by flames.Judging from the situation just now, Liu Chengjun already knew how high Zong Xin's martial arts were.He is just a well-known chivalrous man in the Jianghu, but Zong Xin is a supreme master, there is no comparison between the two.

Liu Chengjun said: "But that's it, why didn't you use the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art? Let me see how powerful the martial arts Yeluzhen taught you."

Zong Xin took pride in himself, stood up from the bench, and suddenly his whole body was engulfed in flames, scaring the boss and his helpers to hide behind the stove.They really have never seen such a fierce person, so calm when his whole body is on fire, isn't he afraid of being burned?If you also learn this kind of martial arts, you don't need to burn firewood for cooking in the future, which will definitely save money.

Zong Xin reached out to play with the beads on his wrist. At this time, these beads had been ignited by the fire, but they were still in Zong Xin's hands, as if they were wrapped in flames, but they did not burn.The difference in cultivation between the two is too big, Zong Xin can easily kill Liu Chengjun, so there is no rush at all.

Zong Xin stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a burning Buddhist bead flew out immediately, hitting Liu Chengjun's abdomen directly. Liu Chengjun was thrown backward by the person hit by this Buddhist bead, and retreated several meters, his clothes were also ignited.

At this time, Liu Chengjun secretly took out the incense, lit it with the flame on his clothes, and then hid behind a tree.

Zong Xin was a little hesitant, and then popped out the second prayer bead, which pierced the tree directly. The bead was originally small, but the hole it left in the tree was huge, and the wood trunk near the hole also burned. Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue's true energy invasion ability is very strong, the tree can still be ignited even if it is alive.

Zong Xin turned behind the tree and looked at Liu Chengjun who covered his abdomen with one hand and pointed an incense stick at him with the other.Zong Xin looked puzzled, what is this grandson doing?Do you think the matter of giving yourself some incense will be over?Or does it mean that he knew he was going to die, so he lit a stick of incense and went to his grave?
Zong Xin thought about it, and suddenly understood what was going on.This broken incense must have been given to him by Guo Wuwei, saying that it could save his life at a critical moment.Guo Wuwei's intention in doing this is obvious, that is, he hopes Zong Xin will let him live. As for the reason... Guo Wuwei must hope that Liu Chengjun will inherit the Northern Han Dynasty, and if he saves his life, he will be able to have great power in the Northern Han Dynasty and high status.

Guo Wuwei and Zhao Kuangyin hit it off, and Guo Wuwei went to the Northern Han Dynasty as an undercover agent for this first time meeting.After all, the terrain of the Northern Han Dynasty was very high, easy to defend but difficult to attack.In order to make it easier for Zhao Kuangyin to attack the Northern Han Dynasty in the future, Guo Wuwei is going to seize the power of the Northern Han Dynasty, and then create conditions for Zhao Kuangyin to attack the Northern Han Dynasty...

Zong Xin understood Guo Wuwei's intentions. Anyway, he was full of doubts, so he just followed the trend.

"Where is the man? Where did this grandson go?" Zong Xin said depressedly: "I clearly saw him hiding behind this tree, and he was completely out of breath... Did he disappear?"

Zong Xin suddenly turned his head and snickered, almost laughing out loud.And deliberately left his back to Liu Chengjun to see what he would do.If Liu Chengjun attacked suddenly, it wouldn't be a big deal to kill him directly. Anyway, Guo Wuwei was already a worldly expert in front of Liu Chong, and it didn't matter whether there was Liu Chengjun or not.If Liu Chengjun was alive, it would be more convenient for Guo Wuwei.
