I Am The Landlord In Another World

Chapter 60: Promotion banquet (1)

“This group of people is too audacious. We can’t let them off.” Li Liao immediately said angrily. “However, they have more people who can fight than us. And the most important thing is that they still have the falling fire, so we’re at a disadvantage in this regard. ” Tang Wen said. “Sir Jue, didn’t you bring back 300 sets of equipment? with these helmets and bulletproof vests, even the falling fire can’t do anything to us. In addition to the boots, our sharp swords, bows, and armors, as long as the plan is well – planned, we will be able to use them. It’s not easy to beat them, so it shouldn’t be a problem. ” Li Liao said with confidence. “Yes, we can’t be too overbearing. We need to sneak in and launch a surprise attack.” Tang Wen said. “But what about those man – eating flowers and man – eating trees? It was more than a mile wide, and it was a natural barrier. Although we can use poison to exterminate them, the range is too large. How much poison would that take? Even if you had silver, you wouldn’t be able to get so much. ” Li Liao frowned. “I’ve already found a way, so there’s no need to worry. However, they’ve already attacked us twice. This means that they must have a secret passage that leads to us. ” Tang Wen said. “It’s probably an underground passage or a ship.” Li Liao said. “We’ll have to search for the passage in secret, but they think that there are man – eating trees blocking the way, so they think it’s very safe. As such, they would definitely let their guard down. We can make use of this to increase the success rate of our sneak attack. ” Tang Wen said. “Right! However, it’s just a man – eating tree. ” Li Liao was still worried about this. “This can solve them.” Tang Wen smiled and took out a bottle of improved hoeing agent from the drawer. Tang Wen had specially ordered it from the manufacturer. After the manufacturer had concentrated it, its corrosive ability had been increased by ten times. “Will this work?” Li Liao still didn’t believe him. Tang Wen didn’t say anything. He took him to a small tree and poured the hoeing agent on it. The effect was obvious. In just half an hour, the small tree began to wither and yellow. “It’ll die tomorrow. If the man – eating tree’s life force is much stronger than it ‘s, we’ll spray it a few more times. If he used more, they would all die. Of course, we just need to spit out a path. He didn’t need to care about anything else, he would deal with them in the future. If all of them were killed, they would find out. So, the rest is all up to you. Once your personal guards are trained, we will take action. Of course, you can’t drag it out for too long in case you have more problems. I’ll give you half a month to strengthen your combat training. ” Tang Wen said. “Although the time is short, it can be done. However, I’ll have to send someone to keep an eye on them not far from the man – eating tree. We can control the situation at any time. ” Li Liao nodded. “I’ll leave this to you. You’re an expert in war, so you’ll have full command. However, it’s best to secretly arrange for someone to spy there. I’m just worried that their spies are hiding around the Crouching Dragon Lake. ” Tang Wen nodded. “Don’t worry about that. Some of the men I brought back are in charge of gathering information. However, we still have too few people to ensure our success while minimizing our casualties. ” Li Liao said. “Do you have any other way?” Tang Wen asked. “There are!” Li Liao nodded and said,”however, it will probably cost a lot of silver.” “Tell me, as long as we can reduce the casualties to a minimum, I’ll spend any amount of silver. They’re all members of my Tang family, just like my brothers and sisters. I don’t want to see their dead bodies. ” Tang Wen said. “The best way is, of course, to invite people from the sects. However, we’re not very familiar with the sects in the pugilistic world, so I don’t think this will work. So, we can only start with the bodyguard agency. There are many experts in the bodyguard agency. As long as they are willing to spend money, they will also agree. ” Li Liao said. “That’s true. Being an escort is also a job with one’s head hanging on the belt. It’s not much safer than helping us kill Pirates.” Tang Wen nodded. “One bodyguard agency is not enough. We need at least a few. If we can hire more than a hundred people, that will be enough. Of course, their skills had to be at least rank -8. If they were too weak, it would be a waste of money to hire them. However, if you want to hire people with such skills, you must spend a lot of money, otherwise, they will not come. ” Li Liao said. “How much do you need? give me a rough estimate.” Tang Wen said. ” 50 taels of silver for a rank -8 is enough. A rank -7 would probably cost a hundred taels. Of course, it’d be better if there’s a rank -6.” Li Liao said. “How about we ask Constable yang to help us contact the police?” Tang Wen said. “Sure!” Li Liao said with a nod. “Let’s not tell the people from the bodyguard agency about the specific operation. Of course, he had to make it clear that the operation was very dangerous. We can’t lie to them about the danger. ” Tang Wen said. “Of course. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome if this group of people bore a grudge. If we make it clear, they can’t blame us if people die for wealth and birds die for food. ” Li Liao said with a nod. “If they die, we will give their families a sum of money. Therefore, we have to sign a contract first. ” Tang Wen said. “Of course I have to sign it.” Li Liao replied. Tang Wen arrived at Yanling County in the evening and went straight to Constable Yang’s house. He found that Constable Yang’s house was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and there were many carriages parked in front of the door. It seemed that all the influential people in Yanling city had come. Was the Yang family going to hold a wedding? After standing there for a while, he found that Governor Zhang Hongjiang, Tongzhi Zhou Zhao, and judge Tian Shilong had all arrived. At this moment, the Tang Army came over and said,”Lord Jue, it’s not a wedding. All the guests are here to congratulate Yang Yun on his promotion. There’s a celebration banquet tonight.” “His promotion to a ‘penal officer’ has been approved?” Tang Wen asked. “Yes, I am.” The Tang Army nodded. “That’s great. Tang Jun, go to qianye workshop and bring over a dozen boxes of wine.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Which one?” The Tang Army asked. “Let’s drink champagne today. Attis. ” Tang Wen said. Soon, the Tang Army returned. At this time, there were fewer guests and most of them were probably here. Tang Wen walked to the door. Chen Shao, the guard at the gate, knew that Tang Wen and Yang Yun had a close relationship, so he didn’t stop them and let them pass. Tang Wen found that there were seven or eight tables in the lobby. “Hehehe, Sir yang, why didn’t you inform me of something good? are you afraid that I, Tang Wen, will eat your meal?” Tang Wen stood in front of the lobby door with a smile. “Aiya! Ah, it’s brother Tang. I’ve been rude. ” Yang Yun was accompanying the governor, Zhang Hongjiang, and a few other people, chatting happily. When he heard the voice, he immediately stood up and strode over to welcome them. “Everyone, this is my Yanling County’s third Earl, Tang Wen, brother Tang,” Yang Yun introduced after cupping his hands. “Good day, Your Excellency.” Immediately, many people stood up and bowed. Of course, those who could sit in the lobby were all people of status. It wasn’t just about having a title, there was no need to kneel down to pay respects. “Everyone, Tang Wen is very polite. If you have time, come to my sumi Island and this Tang will certainly entertain you with good wine and food. ” Tang Wen cupped his hands and returned the greeting, taking the opportunity to advertise. “Come, come, come, Lord Jue, sit here.” Zhang Hongjiang patted the chair next to him. Immediately, Tang Wen was met with envious gazes. After all, Zhang Hongjiang was the highest – ranking official in Yanling. His actions meant that he had a good relationship with Tang Wen. “My Lord, long time no see.” Zhou Zhao stood up and smiled, while the judge, Tian Shilong, nodded. “Sir yang, what are we drinking tonight?” Tang Wen walked to Zhang Hongjiang’s side and didn’t immediately sit down. Instead, he stood and asked with a smile. “Of course it’s good wine. It’s a 10 – year nu ‘er Hong.” Someone replied. “Sir yang, this time I bought a batch of champagne from a Western merchant. Today is Lord Yang’s happy occasion. Men, bring it up. Serve the wine, three bottles per table, for everyone to try. ” Tang Wen shouted to the door. “I’ve heard of Western champagne. It’s fragrant and delicious, and can be called a peerless delicacy. I have a relative who once tasted it at hai Sheng Marquis’s birthday banquet, and he was full of praise after he returned. ” “That must be very expensive, right?” “That’s only natural. At that time, the guests only had a small sip. All of them wanted more, but it was too expensive. Even Lord Marquis only received three bottles, and I heard that it was a reward from the Imperial clan. ” After they said that, everyone’s eyes immediately turned to the door.
