The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 624
What is the Red Dust Inn most lacking at the moment?
Hongchen Inn has the least lack of people, and also the most lack of people.

As an upstart in the rivers and lakes, in terms of the number of gang members alone, Hongchen Inn is naturally not as popular as the four evil sects, but it is not inferior to the original Kyushu giants such as Xiaoyuemeng, Qingtianzhong, Zhushendian, Zangfengge, etc.

The inn has no shortage of managers who can manage gangs in an orderly manner, operators who can make money well, no shortage of strongmen who can wrestle with top experts, and no shortage of diligent people who work tirelessly, travel in all directions, and work hard.

If the purpose of establishing a faction in the Hongchen Inn is only for a peaceful corner, then such a gang structure is not incomplete, and it can even be said to be too rich.

However, the Hongchen Inn, which is burdened with heavy responsibilities and wants to make a difference, still lacks two types of people.

A type of person who is good at observing words and expressions and inquiring about news.

A kind of person who can make good decisions.

People in the former category don't need to have the extraordinary ability to see all directions and listen to all directions, as long as they can bear their temper and be alert enough.

The more people, the better.

The latter type of people, the most important thing is to strategize, they must be superior in wisdom, not to mention comparable to the old man, Luo Piaoling, Xiao Yincai and others, at least they cannot be left too far behind.

There are not many such people.

As the behind-the-scenes helm of Hongchen Inn, Fir Shan's vision and ability are certainly qualified for this role.

However, Fir Shan couldn't leave the temple, so he couldn't respond to those emergencies in time.

Most of the time it all depends on Ning Xiaoyao, Gu Xinhun, Su Shou and other cobblers adapting to the situation. However, in the past, Hongchen Inn's decision-making was mostly based on stability, and the response to some key nodes was always lacking.

There used to be more time to squander, but now I have to be careful.

Gu Xinhun smacked his lips, he couldn't believe what Leng Shan said, but he couldn't help but believe in this gentleman's ability.

If you don't have an intelligence agency in the dark, how can you stay in Beijing and learn about world affairs without being noticed?
Seeing this scene, Leng Shan smiled and said, "What? Is it because I can't believe it, or am I too surprised?"

Gu Xinhun said truthfully: "Mr. naturally wouldn't joke with me, but I just couldn't figure it out for a moment. Where did the people under Mr.'s hands come from?"

Leng Shan said: "Great merchants and rich merchants always say how difficult it is for me to start from scratch. I used to be just a grassroots scholar with no money, no power, and no influence. Net, how difficult it is."

Gu Xinhun said: "At that time, Mr. had no money, no power, no power, so naturally he had to seek help from someone with money, power, or power."

Leng Shan said: "That person has both money and power, more powerful."

Gu Xinhun said: "That's really great. This person is willing to help, he must be a close friend of Mr., and Mr. is very grateful."

Leng Shan shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm not worthy to be this person's best friend, and I'm not looking for him, but he is looking for me, so I'm the one who helped, and he is very grateful to me."

Gu Xinhun was awe-inspiring when he heard the words, according to what Leng Shan said, that person must be a member of the imperial court, so who would start planning these backhands before Leng Shan, which is similar to saving Zhongzhou from the collapse?
Firth is very persuasive, so Lonely Soul has no choice but to follow his will and continue to guess.

After guessing and guessing, Gu Xinhun realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

Hongchen Inn was created by Fir Shan.

The members of the inn also know why Fir Shan established the Hongchen Inn.

Only because they recognized Lengshan's idea of ​​Zhongzhou's way out, they came together and gave without hesitation.

At the same time, they are used to Fir Shan hiding behind the scenes to show them the direction, so they take it for granted that Fir Shan is the guide.

But it has never been explored why Fir Shan devoted himself to this difficult, dangerous and thorny road.

In this way, the person who asked Fir Shan to establish an intelligence network is the real mastermind, or the original initiator.

And Fir is just a puppet?Acting as executor?Or the client?
Lonely soul does not think that Fir Shan is willing to be a puppet, but the possibility of the latter two is not small.

His heart was beating wildly, and he thought of the most likely explanation.

Before that, he still had to rule out an answer that would make him horrified and inexplicable, so he asked, "Is that person older than Mr.?"

Leng Shan smiled lightly, and replied: "It's much bigger."

Gu Xinhun breathed a sigh of relief, and said firmly: "So, what Mr. did was entrusted by the late emperor?"

Leng Shan also let out a long sigh of relief, as if after so many years she was finally able to share this secret that cannot be easily shared with others.

Leng Shan replied: "It is Emperor Jing."

Gu Xinhun said: "Sir, aren't you afraid that after you tell me this secret, I will get up and leave without looking back?"

Leng Shan was surprised: "It shouldn't be, have you never thought of this possibility?"

Gu Xinhun said: "I've thought about several possibilities, but this is the only possibility I dare not think about, nor do I want to think about it."

Leng Shan said: "I understand your disappointment with the Zhu family's court."

Gu Xinhun said: "We are willing to join the Hongchen Inn, and we are willing to work with Mr. Zhongzhou, not Zhu's Zhongzhou."

Leng Shan said: "I think so far, I haven't let you down yet."

Gu Xinhun nodded in agreement.

Leng Shan said: "After that, I will still not disappoint you. The reason why I want to explain it to you is because I don't want her legacy and good intentions to be ignored."

Gu Xinhun solemnly said: "It should be so, I would like to hear the details."

Leng Shan said: "Zhongzhou has existed for more than [-] years, and the vast land has thousands of millions. The great power will always be divided for a long time, and the dynasties will change. There are always eight words-serious illness, chronic disease, and hard to return."

Gu Xinhun said: "Zhu Zhongzhou has lasted for more than 300 years, which can be said to be particularly long in the long river of history. It is inevitable that there will be many evils. It is time to die when the sun is dying."

Leng Shan said: "Dynasties will always repeat this kind of history, but every generation does not think that they will repeat the same mistakes. After all, there is history as a lesson, and from the past to the current situation, Zhu Jiazhou may not have a chance. As long as we can survive this catastrophe, at least we can hope to extend our national life for another hundred years."

Gu Xinhun said clearly: "Yes, even though Emperor Jing knew that it would be difficult to 'change his fate' in his lifetime, he still wanted to leave behind some countermeasures, even if there was only a glimmer of hope. If things come true, don't say Liufang Hundreds of generations, at least the next hundred years, the world will be grateful to Dade, and even after thousands of years, people may still be talking about it."

"That's right." Up to this point, Leng Shan didn't intend to make any more detours, and took over the topic with full authority, "Compared with the emperors of the Zhu family in the past, Emperor Jing is a little mediocre, but he is far from being stupid, let alone useless. "

"In my opinion, surviving the barbarian wars 20 years ago, recuperating, and stabilizing the country is one achievement. It is another achievement to lay down the last three lines of defense for the future of Zhongzhou."

"The first line of defense is to protect the pillars of the country."

"After the barbarian rebellion, Zhongzhou was waiting to be rejuvenated. It is time to employ people. There is no doubt that there is nothing wrong with employing people. From the temple to the prefectures and counties, it is inevitable that there will be mixed fish and dragons. But Emperor Jing is very clear that the barbarian chaos still has legacy. Many positions can be vacated by many people, but the employment of people in dangerous border areas needs to be cautious."

"The most important ones are the five tiger generals who protect the country. When Emperor Jing was in his later years, only three of the five tiger generals remained alive. To ensure that the three generals can still contribute to Zhongzhou after his death, Emperor Jing also took great pains."

"Do everything possible to stabilize Gusu, release Shi Xin to the countryside, and let Niu Kelian retreat to the temple. As long as these three people are kept, even if the war resumes, the city walls of Zhongzhou will still not collapse."

"Unfortunately, man is not as good as God. Emperor Jing wanted to get Shi Xin to make great contributions, so that he could retreat to a corner and settle down. But he didn't expect that Shi Xin's appeal was so great that the prestige of Shifu increased day by day, and the temple became more and more fierce. The contention is burning thousands of miles away."

"I didn't expect that the chaos in the court would become the last straw that crushed Niu Kelian, and he lived in despair in Jinzhou City in despair."

"Fortunately, the result isn't too bad. There are two generals who survived by accident."

"The second line of defense is related to the Daoyi League."

"The Daoyi League is not entirely composed of Jianghu gangs. It covers a wide range of areas. Although the old man is the leader of the alliance, his power is mostly limited to safeguarding Jianghu morality and fighting against foreign enemies."

"After the Outer Barbarian Rebellion, Zhongzhou's vitality was severely injured. With the two heroes Xiao and Yan missing, the Kyushu and Four Seas Leagues were no different from mobs in the eyes of the court. In comparison, the Daoyi League can be said to be thriving. In addition, The system is very much in line with the ideal vision of the imperial court to control the rivers and lakes, under the admonitions of the court officials in turn, as long as Emperor Jing is shaken, the imperial court will put a lower stance and be more sincere, and if it is not complete, it will be able to incorporate the Daoyi League."

"After all, as long as the conditions offered by the imperial court are generous enough, even if they are not named marquises and generals, there are not many people in the Jianghu who can refuse the job offered by the imperial court."

"And once one ally in the Daoyi League is willing to return to the imperial court, the second, third, or even more than half will soon fall to the imperial court."

"Even if the old man does not withdraw, within a year or so, not to mention that the Yimeng is completely controlled by the imperial court, the influence of the old man will definitely be greatly reduced."

"At that time, the Daoyi League will also become an empty shell with superficial appearance, and it will be difficult to act for morality."

"During the transitional period when productivity was urgently needed to be restored, without the support of the Daoyi League, the Jianghu of Zhongzhou would only be a mess, and I am afraid it will take three to five years to regain a new life."

"It's impossible to predict what the world will be like at that time, but I'm sure that the Daoyi League must not be as powerful as it actually is, without the protection of the Daoyi League, don't say that Ting Yuge doesn't even have a chance to grow up, it's Hong Chen The inn also has no soil for survival.”

"Emperor Jing doesn't fully understand Jianghu, but he knows how to respect the development laws of some things. He respects Jianghu, and Jianghu also gives due feedback."

"And the third line of defense laid down by Emperor Jing is also reserved for today's people."

"There are a total of 28 people in this group. In the 12 years after the barbarian rebellion, apart from dealing with the affairs of the world and the temple, Emperor Jing spent all his time either looking for these 28 people or secretly supporting and cultivating these 28 people. people."

"These 28 people, from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns, don't need to be completely loyal to the Zhu family, but they must be loyal to Zhongzhou."

"They each have their own strengths and uses, but they don't know each other. They only recognize each other by the code passed down by Emperor Jing, and use the 28 stars as the code to form an organization called the Dark Palace."

"It's just that the people in the Dark Palace, before the key people come to the door, never know whether they will be used one day. As for whether they are willing to work hard or not, they are completely out of control."

"Looking back from the perspective of the time, if Zhongzhou is really going to experience another turmoil in the next 30 to [-] years, Emperor Jing's three-handed arrangement will only have a [-]% chance of turning the tide, but Emperor Jing knows that if he doesn't do it, it is even [-]% possible. No."

"From the current point of view, regardless of the situation of the third move, at least the first two moves have paid off."

"The two generals can keep Zhongzhou [-]% hopeful."

"As for the rivers and lakes that the Daoyi League has protected all the way, if there is no barbarian enemy who dares to underestimate them, then another [-]% will be added."

"Can you add another [-]%..." Leng Shan fixed his eyes on Gu Xinhun, "It depends on whether the Hongchen Inn can give full play to the role of the Dark Palace."

Gu Xinhun raised his sleeve to wipe away the cold sweat, this time it wasn't from over-tired thinking.

It was forced out by the mountainous pressure thrown by Fir Tree.

"If my predictions are correct, sir is of course one of the 28 stars in the dark hall." Gu Xinhun tapped the desk with his fingers, and threw out his own deduction, "and sir is most likely the key person .”

Seeing Gu Xinsun acting like this, Leng Shan felt very relieved, that's what he wanted.

"Hmm, you can continue to guess which constellation I am."

Gu Xinhun listened to the words, secretly whispered in his heart that he had been fooled by the old thief, but he cooperated with him and said: "Mr. is in a high position, but he is approachable, informal, good at making decisions, and orderly. The first spica, am I right?"

Fir Shan stroked his short beard, and said old-fashionedly: "I always think that I have a unique vision, but now it looks really good."

Gu Xinhun snorted coldly, and teased: "Did the old emperor fool Mr. You in the same way?"

The corners of Leng Shan's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he spoke seriously.

"The old emperor was putting all his eggs in one basket at that time. He couldn't see through people with background, so he decided to take a big gamble on me, a poor scholar."

"As I said before, Emperor Jing used his own secret power to find and train us people, and our secret identities have been covered up heavily. If there is no contact code, only the old emperor will know it completely. As long as he enters the coffin, Our identity will also lose its origin, and unless the individual sticks to it, it is equivalent to never existing."

"Compared to what you are now, it is very different."

Gu Xinhun ignored Leng Shan's deliberate correction, only asked the question he cared about, and said: "Then the other 28 people from the 27 constellations, how many people have you found so far?"

Leng Shan held her head up slightly and said, "No one falls."

Gu Xinhun respectfully said: "Mr. is amazing!"

Leng Shan snorted lightly, as if he had been flattered, then sighed again, and said: "However, there are already five people who don't want to have any more entanglements with the Dark Palace, and seven people who have died during these years." remove."

Gu Xinhun said: "Sir, there is no need to sigh. As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable. With such a long time span and unknown consequences, it is very rare to retain half of the staff. And the other 15 people must not be Fan Fan's generation. It is not difficult to spread the branches and leaves.”

Leng Shan said: "You have already seen it."

Gu Xinhun said: "It's really not difficult to guess, sir can set up Hongchen Inn, why can't Third Aunt run Yichunyuan?"

Leng Shan said: "Third Aunt is the housekeeper."

Gu Xinhun once again shifted his gaze to the slim figure playing the harp.

Fir Shan said: "Qingchen is a wall dweller."

Gu Xinhun looked like "as expected", smiled and said: "I know who the master will entrust to me."

Fir Shan said: "Oh?"

Gu Xinhun said: "I also finally know why the big fat man in Gusu Square has never left the city, but he knows everything like Mr.

Leng Shan looked at Gu Xinhun suspiciously, making sure that he was not scolded in this sentence, and then gave up.

Seeing that Gu Xinhun was complacent, he said: "Bao inquiring is Zhen Su. However, guessing these things is not a skill. It took me two years to confirm the identity of 'XingXiu'. Others, you might as well guess who this is?"
