Chapter 91

Old Master Lin was a strategist.

In his eyes, Shen Lang was quick-witted and could come up with ingenious plans.

But this was not the most important thing. As a strategist, the most important thing was to be able to see through the chess game, to know the enemy's next move, and what to do next.

This was the only way to be invincible.

And this kind of strategist basically only existed in books. He did not expect to see one here.

Although it had not been verified, it was at least half of one.

It was really … amazing.

"The key to victory between us and Zhang Chong lies in the battle for Jinshan Island."

"Losing Jinshan Island means losing Wangya Island, losing the army, and finally losing the fief."

"Taking back Jinshan Island means winning everything. We can also expand our army and become stronger. The private army of our Count House is still not full."

Once Xuan Wu Mansion completely took back Jinshan Island, the Yinyuan Association would not dare to ask the Count House for this debt. Even if they were stupid and asked for this debt, the Count House could mortgage Jinshan Island and borrow from the Heavenly Law Association.

In any case, there were three organizations in the world that controlled a huge amount of money.

Old Master Lin said, "But in the battle for Jinshan Island, we are not only facing the Jin Hai Count House, but also Zhang Chong, Zhu Jung, and even the Monarch behind them."

In everyone's view, it was too difficult for Xuan Wu Mansion to win this round. It was almost impossible.

From the moment Yan Wuji and Zhang Chong came to visit Taishou Prefecture, Shen Lang had been thinking about how to break the battle for Jinshan Island.

Shen Lang said, "In the battle for Jinshan Island, there are still two points that I have not broken through. Once I break through these two points, I can win. "

Old Master Lin bowed and said, "From now on, no matter what task son-in-law has, I will do my best to assist Master and son-in-law in winning this fateful match."

The Earl recalled that when Shen Lang was writing "The Boundless Wind and Moon of the Plum", he had pulled Kaneki Satoshi into the project and made him one of the authors.

He even asked Shen Lang why.

Shen Lang said that it was to pave the way for the battle of Jinshan Island.

Count Xuanwu sighed and said, "Lang'er, you shouldn't have come to our house. It's a waste of talent. You should be assisting the Emperor."

Shen Lang licked his lips and said, "Mulan is my queen. In bed and out of bed …"

At this point, Shen Lang quickly shut his mouth.

Drifting, drifting.

Once you start driving, you can't stop. The person in front of you isn't your best friend in the dormitory, but your father-in-law.

However, his father-in-law was still in a state of shock and had yet to react.

…

Shen Lang quickly changed the topic, "Father-in-law, why did Grandfather borrow such a huge sum of money back then?"

Grandpa?

Lord Count realized that he was talking about his father.

The Count sighed and said, "My father had hired an army of three thousand people, an entire fleet, but they were all wiped out …"

Oh my god!

Shen Lang was also shocked.

What kind of person was the previous generation's Lord Count?

Hiring three thousand mercenaries, an entire fleet, what was he going to do?

This is something that only a small country can afford. As an Earl, you really can't afford to do such a thing.

Three thousand mercenaries, an entire fleet was wiped out.

This … How much money should he pay?

No wonder Jin Zhuo Count couldn't pay off the debt even after twenty years.

Shen Lang wanted to ask how much money the Count House owed, but he didn't need to.

Because when money reaches a certain amount, it's just a number.

Anyway, no matter how much money he owed, it wouldn't affect Shen Lang's wealth.

Have you ever seen a person who didn't live in a villa, drive a Rolls-Royce, and sleep with a celebrity?

As long as they win the battle of Jinshan Island, this debt would be nothing.

"Father-in-law, do you know what a person should do when they owe a lot of money?" Shen Lang asked.

Lord Count said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Shen Lang said, "Be more generous with your money and live a better life. Don't think about how to pay back the money."

The Earl faintly said, "Your Master Shen's way of doing things is something that ordinary people like me cannot learn."

Shen Lang said, "Father-in-law, you are good at everything, but you are too harsh on yourself and too lenient to others. As a man … you should be better to yourself. "

Lord Count wasn't ready to talk about life with his son-in-law yet.

He felt that if they continued to talk like this, perhaps this son-in-law would say things like keeping a mistress or taking in a concubine.

At that time, should he be beaten to death? Or should he not be beaten to death?

Shen Lang sighed. This father-in-law is too upright. I can't teach him these life experiences.

Lord Count said seriously, "Lang'Er, I am worried that you will be besieged when you go to the engagement party. Although you are very powerful, it will be difficult for you to fight against a house full of people. "

Shen Lang said, "Will they hit me?"

Lord Count said, "That won't happen."

"Then I am relieved." Shen Lang said.

Lord Count said, "But they will attack you by hook or by crook. They won't even have a bottom line."

Shen Lang said, "But I don't have a bottom line."

"Father-in-law, I'll give you a military pledge here. As long as you don't fight, no matter how many enemies there are, no matter what means you use, if I lose today, I will change my surname to Kim. I will be your grandson. "

"Bastard, unfilial grandson." Lord Count said angrily, "How sad will your parents be if they hear this?"

Sigh!

Father-in-law, you're too boring. You can't take a joke at all. I really don't know how mother-in-law can endure it.

Shen Lang said, "If I can't beat them one by one at the engagement party tonight, people will think that the Kim clan is easy to bully. And I don't know why? I'm so excited, my hands are getting restless. "

As a master of acting tough, Shen Lang never asked how many enemies there were. Who were the enemies?

He only asked where their faces were so that he could slap them one by one.

Hahahaha …

Hehehehe …

Then, Lord Count looked at his son-in-law speechlessly. He seemed to be immersed in some kind of strange pleasure.

"Alright, father-in-law, the engagement banquet of that adulterous couple is about to begin. I'm going to take a bath, change my clothes, and dress myself up properly," said Shen Lang.

This sentence made Lord Count unable to look at it.

Dress up?

A man needs to dress up?

If this sentence came out of Jin Mucong's mouth, he wouldn't be alive today.

Shen Lang walked out of the door and said, "By the way, father-in-law, who do we owe money to?"

Count Xuanwu said, "The Yinyuan Association."

Shen Lang said, "Then you should prepare a little. The people from the Yinyuan Association should come to visit you in about three quarters of an hour. No matter what they say, just nod and say yes. But in your heart, just ignore it. "

After that, Shen Lang left.

He went to take a bath and dress up. Tonight, he must be the most handsome man.

No one else!

Count Xuanwu couldn't help but mutter in his heart, Do you think you are a god? How can you predict this? And accurate to three quarters of an hour?

Shen Lang really prepared an extremely gorgeous brocade robe, a jade belt, and a golden crown for himself.

Just this outfit alone cost him a hundred and ninety gold coins.

That was converted to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Don't look at how poor I am. I can definitely squander.

And when he proposed to make this outfit, both his mother-in-law and Mulan agreed without hesitation.

Only Jin Mucong muttered.

"I haven't made new clothes for a year and a half."

His mother-in-law frowned and said, "Don't you know that our family's finances are tight?"

Jin Mucong was speechless. You still spent 190 gold coins to make clothes for Shen Lang when your finances are tight?

That's too extravagant.

All the clothes I've worn since I was born added up to less than 90 gold coins.

In the end, his mother-in-law's words made Jin Mucong run away with tears in his eyes.

"With your appearance, do you think beautiful clothes will be of any use to you? They are all wasted! "

…

Now, Shen Lang was wearing this unprecedented golden brocade robe, a white jade belt inlaid with gold, and a jade crown carved with gold.

To describe him in one sentence, he was so handsome that it would blind a dog's eyes.

The kind of handsomeness that brought light wherever he went.

Mulan was a little dazed. Her eyes were a little blurred, and her heart was beating slightly faster.

Xiao Bing looked at Shen Lang for a while and began to regret.

Why did I reject him that night?

If it wasn't for me, my belly would be bulging by now.

But if I'm pregnant, is it better for a boy or a girl?

What should our child be called?

Mulan said, "Husband, are you going to steal the limelight of the male master today?"

"No." Shen Lang said, "I'm going to steal the limelight of all the men today. I'm going to become a male god that Xu Qianqian can never touch. I'm going to put a cruel exclamation mark on the ill-fated relationship between me and her!"

Suddenly, Mulan didn't want to talk anymore.

The image of the handsome man in front of her was completely destroyed.

Next, Shen Lang and Mulan were like the legendary prince and princess. They wore gorgeous clothes and boarded a gorgeous carriage, rushing to Zhang Jin and Xu Qianqian's engagement banquet.

…

Count Xuanwu was still a little uneasy.

Although he was confident in Shen Lang, the situation at night was too dangerous.

As mentioned before, this engagement banquet was almost a prelude to the attack on Xuan Wu Mansion.

As soon as Shen Lang entered, he would be surrounded by enemies.

Even if he had three heads and six arms, he might not be able to resist them.

At this moment, Jin Zhong's voice came from outside.

"Master, distinguished guests from the north are here."

The Black Tortoise Earl was stunned.

In the mansion, distinguished guests from the north represented a kind of identity.

The Yinyuan Association!

When Shen Lang just left, he specifically reminded Count that the people from the Yinyuan Association would come to visit.

And Shen Lang said it would be within three quarters of an hour.

He didn't expect that he would even calculate the time.

This child was really smart to this extent.

However, His Lordship soon understood.

Shen Lang didn't make a random guess. He used the time of Xu Qianqian and Zhang Jin's engagement banquet as the boundary.

The envoy from the Yinyuan Association would come before that, but not too much in advance.

"Invite the guest in!" Count said.

A moment later, a man wearing colorless silk walked in. His face was ordinary, and his figure was ordinary.

"Mo Xiu from the Yinyuan Association greets Xuanwu." The man bowed respectfully.

The Earl said, "Hello, Mr. Mo, I trust you have been well since we last met. Did you receive the gold coins I sent a few days ago?"

Mo Xiu replied, "It was sent by sea. It has been stored in the warehouse ten days ago."

Count said, "Then, what is the purpose of Mr. Mo's visit?"

Mo Xiu said, "Count, you may already know that Shu Tingyu from our association has come to Xuanwu City to attend Zhang Jin's engagement banquet."

If it was any other aristocrat, they would have pretended to be surprised.

But Count didn't like to act. He said, "Is your association planning to change your position?"

"Not at all." Mo Xiu said, "There are dozens of feudal lords in the Great Yan Dynasty, and hundreds of old aristocrats. The interests between us have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no intention of changing our position. "

The Black Tortoise Count said, "Then the attitude of your esteemed society is very surprising."

Mo Xiu smiled bitterly, "Where there are people, there will be struggle. Our Yinyuan Association is no exception. Now that the new policy seems to be in full swing, there are also differences within our association. But please believe me, Xuanwu, that our support for you has not wavered. "

Count Xuanwu wanted to continue to question.

But he remembered Shen Lang's words.

"You only need to nod your head and agree with whatever he says, but in your heart, it's all nonsense."

Therefore, although Count wasn't good at it, he still listened to his son-in-law's opinion and pretended to be polite to Mo Xiu.

…

Inside Zhang Jin's old house.

There were still half an hour before the engagement banquet began.

Xu Guangyun said, "Are you ready to deal with that little bastard Shen Lang?"

"Master, everything is ready."

When Zhang Jin came back, he asked Zhang Chong if there was a bottom line for Shen Lang and Jin Mulan tonight.

Zhang Chong asked if there was a bottom line for Shen Lang and Jin Mulan when he was dealing with you. It was normal for children to go too far.

Then, Zhang Jin understood.

"Join hands to kill Shen Lang and Jin Mulan. We will definitely ruin the reputation of the Black Tortoise Count Manor, causing them to suffer a crushing defeat."

Today, the Xu family must wash away their shame.
