Cannon Fodder: Forced Counterattack

Seeing him sitting down, everyone gathered around one after another, scrambling to chat, "Brother Jiu, what do you think of the battle between the Chen and Jing families? Who do you think will win?"

Laojiu smiled slightly, and the waiter next to him cleverly poured him a glass of wine. He took a sip and said, "I really can't say it. The form of this continent is different from the past now. It's deep and shallow, ups and downs. King today, bandit tomorrow, no one knows what the future holds."

Everyone nodded yes, expressing that the water was too deep.

"However, all of you have been around the rivers and lakes for many years, and you are all famous people on the mainland." The old wine cup raised his wine glass and respected everyone, "I have been ignoring world affairs for many years, and I have long been out of touch with the rivers and lakes, so I need to ask you for your opinions. "

Everyone smiled and said modestly, "Where are we, we are all unknown people, how can we compare with Old Brother Jiu, who doesn't know, who doesn't know!"

Lao Jiu laughed loudly, "You guys are really too modest."

After some politeness, everyone's attention came back one after another. An old man stroked his beard and said, "This old man is still more optimistic about the Jing family. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't beat a local snake. Chen Ke traveled thousands of miles to his territory, so he lost everything." Innate advantages, and this old man doesn't think the Jing family is a fuel-efficient lamp."

"I also prefer the Jing family," one person responded, "I heard that the Jing family majored in medicine, but medicine and poison have always been separated. This poison art has reached the pinnacle of perfection."

The old man who was optimistic about the Jing family also nodded repeatedly, "Besides, the Jing family's swordsmanship is also quite extraordinary. You young children don't know it, but we old men have heard of it more or less. That agile swordsmanship , as fast as lightning, directly hitting the lifeblood, often with one move to control the enemy, killing people invisible."

As soon as the words fell, someone retorted, "Mr. Guo, no, I think the Chen family is better. The Jing family stays in the old nest in the mountains and deals with medical skills every day. I'm afraid I've forgotten it long ago." How to hold a sword! But this Chen family is different, although people are located in the northwest, there is no place in the mainland where they are, and they are either picking up troubles or on the way to pick up troubles every day, and their kung fu has long been perfected."

There are quite a few people who approve of it: "Yes, the Chen family has robbed a lot of kung fu cheats over the years, and any one is sold at a sky-high price. What use can the Jing family rely on with a set of swordsmanship?"

As soon as this remark came out, the old man disagreed a little bit, "Kungfu is more about mastery than skill. A real master can travel all over the world with an ordinary set of swordsmanship, and mediocrity will find countless cheats to opportunistically."

Even Lao Jiu couldn't help nodding at these words, and toasted him, "What Guo Lao said is very true, it is really admirable, and a real master should be like this."

The old man retaliated.

A middle-aged man said, "Although what Mr. Guo said is true, I still stand for the Chen family to win, and I am very sure."

"Oh? Why?"

"Yes? Brother, why are you so sure?"

With such swearing, everyone was amazed and couldn't help but look at this person.

The man had an expression that you don't understand, "The Chen family is not fighting alone!"

"What do you mean by that?" Lao Jiu asked.

The man asked back: "I don't know if you have noticed the strangeness in the mainland recently, for example - the flow of people is particularly large."

The young man before said blankly, "Is there? Why didn't I find out?"

The man replied, "Our place is at the end of the southwest, so it may be relatively inconspicuous, but the surrounding area centered on the central part and the northern part are very dynamic, and there are all kinds of families from all corners of the country."

Everyone was puzzled: "But, but what is the relationship between these people and the Chen family? Could it be that they are all guests of the Chen family? Then don't we underestimate the Chen family? They have grown to such a degree?"

The man shook his head repeatedly, "That's not true. As far as I know, none of them are from the Chen family and have nothing to do with the Chen family, but——they are indeed helping the Chen family."

"How could this happen? How could you help the Chen family for no reason? Is it because you have a good relationship with the Chen family, or is there a grudge against the Jing family? Or do you want to stir up trouble when you have nothing to do?"

The man lowered his head slightly, and his voice also lowered a lot, with an air of wanting to tell a big secret, which made the person who just spoke a little nervous, "Brother, you are asking a bit too much, But what you said is wrong! Now, let me ask you a question."

"Quickly ask, don't be tricky." Everyone urged.

The man said slowly, "Do you think there are a few aristocratic families in this mainland that move their feet and shake the mainland?"

One person disdainfully said, "How can this not be clear? Luo Chen, King Xu Jing, Li Mu, Liu Gaolin, none of them should be underestimated. Apart from these, there are also Zhao Zhou, Wu Ouyang, etc., who also have a place."

The man nodded in satisfaction, "That's a good answer, but——this is the appearance, I thought the same as you and others at first, but recently I found out that it's not just that."

Laojiu let out an "oh" and narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do you say it?"

The man said seriously, "I don't know if you all know my identity?"

The others looked confused, but Lao Jiu smiled, "Blue Bird Pavilion, Wen Zhi, Mr. Wen."

The man was startled at first, and then burst into laughter after a while, "Not bad, not bad, as expected of old wine, you can't hide anything from you, why does our Blue Bird Pavilion not compare to your small tavern?"

Laojiu smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, please don't praise my tavern. It's just a place for people to chat. There are many people, so there is naturally a lot of news, but it's hard to tell the truth from the fake. There is no falsehood, secrets of the world, omniscient, omniscient.”

Wen Zhi waved his hands triumphantly, humbly and pretentiously, "Exaggerated, exaggerated, how can it be so powerful, hahaha."

The old man surnamed Guo looked at Wen Zhi with some surprise, "Your Excellency is actually from the Blue Bird Pavilion. It is really mysterious and disrespectful."

Blue Bird Pavilion, not many people here know about it. Except for the more famous families or big shots, few people have heard of them. They are as mysterious as teeth, but they are an organization for exploring news, mainly selling or buying news.Compared with the old wine tavern, they are stricter, larger, and more credible. Compared with the spies of the major families, their intelligence is more complicated and professional.

Ignoring the confusion of the others, Wen Zhi only said, "Since the two of you know my identity, you should have some trust in what you say to me."

Lao Jiu raised his glass to him, "Naturally."

"Speaking of which, I know very little. Those who helped the Chen family this time were also instructed by someone, and the messenger was a mysterious family in the central part."

Everyone was puzzled, "The Xu family?"

Wen Zhi shook his head, "No, even—the Xu family is also supporting him."

"impossible?"

"real or fake?"

"The Xu family! That's the Xu family? How could they obey other people's orders? They don't pay attention to the Luo family."

"Nonsense?"

"..."

Everyone couldn't believe it.

Lao Jiu waved his hand to calm them down. Wen Zhi continued, "I'm sure you haven't heard of this family. Even if you have heard of it, you probably don't take it to heart."

Seeing him whimpering, one of them urged, "Brother, don't try to trick me, tell me quickly."

Wen Zhi glanced at the impatient elder brother, and said slowly, "Tang, has anyone ever heard of this surname?"

Laojiu raised his eyebrows, then raised his eyes as if nothing had happened, and the waiter standing next to him offered him another glass of wine, but his expression was reluctant, and the meaning in his eyes was clear—he didn't want him to drink more.

The rest of the people never saw the interaction between the two of them, they just looked at Wen Zhi in surprise.

"Soup???"

"I have heard of people with the surname Tang, but I have never seen the larger Tang family."

"This surname doesn't have a sense of mystery, does it? Soup? It sounds like water."

"..."

"Yes," Wen Zhi sighed, "it is such a surname, it may be a mysterious figure who controls half of the world in the mainland."

"But why do other people listen to him? Since so many people are attached to him, how can there be some rumors? It can't be so silent." A man immediately retorted.

When the man finished speaking, another person continued, "And why did he help the Chen family? Why did he target the Jing family? Are they involved?"

Others also asked, "The balance on this continent is still the same. Several big families check each other and each leads a side. How did the Tang family develop without being discovered? I don't believe it, these big families are vegetarians."

The audience nodded repeatedly, looking at Wen Zhi curiously, waiting for his answer.

But Wen Zhi drank a bowl of wine slowly, and sighed for a long time, "Good wine! As for your questions, I'm sorry, I'm also curious."

Lao Jiu asked, "You don't know either?"

Wen Zhi nodded, "Exactly, I know very little about it."

"Are you playing with us?" Immediately asked with a temper.

"Yeah, if you say this, it means you didn't say it. There is no evidence and no evidence. It's totally unbelievable!"

Wen Zhi smiled, "Not to mention, everyone, I have time to observe the developments in the mainland recently. I can guarantee the authenticity of the news I have found."

Old Jiu turned his black eyes, "Why did Mr. Wen tell me to wait for this? I have always heard that the news of the Blue Bird Pavilion can only be bought and sold. Without money, you can't say a word, right?"

Wen Zhi smiled inscrutably, "For some information that cannot be found, it is better to make it public and force him to float to the surface, so that there will be a breakthrough."

Old Jiugou pursed his lips.

The people who were still confused sighed, but couldn't help but want to let more people hear this shocking secret that they don't know if it's true or not.
