"Master Hou, I met a person. You must not have guessed who that person is."

Gus Shelley is sitting next to Bacon Clark. Both of them are at the venue of the Curiosities Conference at the moment. Although tomorrow is the start time of the Curiosities Conference, which is June 15th, Marrow Seal City as a

The organizer of the Curiosities Conference would have someone inspect the work of the venue every year. In fact, it was just a show of staying there for a day. This time, it was the Clark family's turn.

"Oh? Who can make you value him so much?"

Bacon generally only manages finances. He is a businessman. He has little interest in various criminal matters other than business. Therefore, whether it is military power or intelligence, almost all matters that have nothing to do with finance are handed over to him.

Si handles it all by himself. Even so, Gus will ask him when he can't make a decision.

For example, Gus didn't know what to do with the letter from the Icathians that day, so he gave it to Bacon and read the letter together with Bacon.

In Bacon's memory, the last time Gus told him specifically because he met someone was ten years ago...or was it never? Bacon didn't remember clearly, but since Gus wanted to tell him specifically about someone,

individual, then that person's identity must be extraordinary.

"He should be the emperor's subordinate, or even... the emperor."

As soon as Gus' words came out of his mouth, Bacon, who was holding the teacup to take a sip, dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

The Great Emperor? Bacon looked like he had seen a ghost. Did he hear it correctly? No, he was very sure that what he heard was what Gus was going to tell him. So, Gus had the wrong person? No, Bacon would not doubt a pillar of the country.

Ability and judgment, since Gus said this, the accuracy is at least 80%.

"How did you get it?"

Therefore, Bacon would not ask Gus if he saw it wrong, but would ask Gus to give the basis for his judgment. Only if it is reasonable and evidence-based can it be convincing. Moreover, Bacon's intelligence is not top-notch, but following Gus's

Presumably, he could also verify whether Gus's judgment was wrong.

"He said he wanted to take over Seal City alone, and I think he has the strength."

Gus really didn't stop talking without surprising anyone. There was a servant in front of Bacon who was picking up the broken teacup at his feet, but now he was driven away by Bacon.

"Are you talking nonsense? The military power of Xueyin City is in your hands, and the troops of the Marquis Mansion are at your disposal. You can't capture a single person?"

Bacon was a little unbelievable, that is, when Gus said this to him, if it were anyone else, the entire army of the princely country could be at your command, and they wouldn't be able to defeat even one person. Bacon didn't say a word or call anyone.

Okay, I just raised my sword and chopped down that fool.

"He has a talent. I can't observe him with my talent. However, by observing the corpses of those who died in his hands, I can determine his strength. Even among the masters, he is the best."

That group may be the only one. After he entered the city, I talked with him, and he told me directly that he wanted to capture the Marrow Seal City. This means that he is not afraid of the army, and he is confident that one person can kill ten people.

The ability of thousands of armies."

Gus still remembered what Bacon said that day. If the people from the City of the Sun were strong enough, the Clark family would not resist, but other merchant families would not necessarily do so. Therefore, Gus told Balliard how to do it.

Being able to conquer Marrow Seal City also gave the other families in Balliard their positions.

"You don't doubt his words?"

Bacon was a little confused. In his opinion, this was not enough to prove that Balliard had the strength to win the Seal City. He was right to trust Gus, but he also had his own judgments and opinions. It was impossible to do anything.

Listen to Gus on everything.

"Do you doubt my words?"

Gus smiled slightly, as if he were looking at his silly son. Although it was rude, he was really the nanny of this lazy Bacon Clark, and he needed to "feed" Bacon from time to time.

"How could it be? Gus, you are the person I trust the most. Even if I doubt those brats, I won't doubt your words."

Bacon indeed trusted Gus very much, but it was impossible for everyone to trust another person completely and without reservation. However, nothing would be lost by saying good things, and the superior must be able to control the inferior.

"Because I have a talent, right? My talent is observation. The accuracy of any information I get is as high as ninety-nine percent. And that person also has a talent. Do you know what his talent will be?"

Gus knew why he was so reused by Bacon. Apart from his status as the butler of the Hou Mansion, the most important thing was that he had such talent and had sufficient information as a basis for decision-making. Even if Gus was not good at government affairs, he could

Being able to handle those things in an orderly manner, and his status as the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion only made Bacon more confident in entrusting him with important responsibilities.

"Is it used in war? Can one person defeat an army? I have never heard of such a talent."

Bacon didn't say that he still didn't believe Gus's judgment, but the meaning behind his words was already clear.

"This kind of talent is indeed rare. The last example seems to have been 1,800 years ago. It was a military general named Zhang Wenyuan, the ancestor of the Zhang family. The owners of this type of talent are almost all generals of the Yongzhan sect.

, the official statement is that people can rely on intuition to find any loopholes in the army, and then penetrate them.

Go, to put it more directly, it doesn't matter how many soldiers they have at their disposal. If they can use their talents to give the power of an entire legion to a few people, the strength of each person will be far greater than that of a grandmaster.

Under normal circumstances, which general who can command a large army has not experienced hundreds of battles? Things like loopholes will appear in the military formations of such generals. Nine times out of ten, it is a trap. However, when the personal strength is improved to

It is inhumane, there are no loopholes, and others can also make loopholes for you, which is the so-called - powerful force can produce miracles. The man named Balliard is probably such a brave general."

Gus is now a little curious. What will the famous generals and ministers in the North look like after knowing the existence of Balliard? No general, strategist, or counselor would want his opponent to be

As a leader of the brave warrior faction, because your plan is perfect despite all calculations, others will be able to dig a hole for you no matter what.

Is the plan bad? Is it improper command? In fact, the generals and counselors made no mistakes, but when they were defeated by the leader of the brave warrior faction, their perfect plan turned into a plan full of mistakes, and they still had to deal with it in the future.

Later generations were pointed at by future generations, as if those they pointed at would be effective once they came.

"Zhang Wenyuan... Is Balliard Zhang Wenyuan?"

Hearing what Gus said, Bacon had some impressions. Emperor Sima Yi was known for his wisdom and martial arts. Naturally, all of his generals were famous throughout the ages. There were many people who praised these generals to the sky.

He was just bragging, so he took it seriously. When Bacon was a child, he also thought about becoming such a general. But when he grew up, he found that the generals under his command were not even as good as the toes of the legendary people. He found that he enjoyed the

Even the famous masters couldn't do the things in the legends. Naturally, he regarded those things as fiction.

But now Gus told him that these things were actually true?

"Maybe, if it's not Zhang Wenyuan, it's the emperor himself. Apart from that, I can't think of anyone else who has such a talent. No, even if others have such a talent, they don't have the courage to fight an army alone.

"

Gus spoke highly of Balliard. He was good at observation. He could hear and see that Balliard was not talking big words, but that he was really sure that one person could defeat the army and capture the Seal City.

Moreover, in his words, the guy seemed to have regarded the Seal City as his own territory. Before he could rule the Seal City, he began to think about how to protect the interests of the Seal City. Gus felt that there was a possibility that Balliard was Sima Yi.

Even higher. But, the legendary emperor was just a general of the brave warrior faction? He couldn't believe this at all.

"...Well, let's do what I said before. We have no reason to be enemies with the emperor. Other families can also knock on one or two. We are all businessmen. Let the news out and they can afford the price. We

Just tell them the information. If you are not willing to pay the price, we will give them the opportunity. If there is any big problem then, it will have nothing to do with me, the Marquis."

Bacon now believes in Gus's judgment. If they are the legendary figures who returned from hell, they may really have this kind of strength. The Icathian people who didn't look at the eyes above their heads have always looked down on them.

Does the Jin State only care about the Great Emperor? The Jin State with the Great Emperor and the Jin State without the Great Emperor are two different things.

"I'll do it right away."

After Gus gave his answer, he left the venue. The Marquis will be in the venue these days to check the conditions of various facilities and supervise the work of the workers. After all, this is a matter of face. If it is not done well, the Clark family will

His image will also plummet, which is not allowed for a business family.

The next day, a rare treasure conference was held in the Marrow Seal City, but no patriarch of the merchant family appeared at the scene. Even the people who attended on their behalf were not powerful figures in the family. If there were not rumors that an item would affect the Marrow Seal,

The big event of the city's ownership is about to happen, and the businessmen and nobles from all over the venue may just leave the meeting.

"Butler Shelley, if you have anything to say, just tell me what happened."

A strong man... This is also the patriarch of a certain merchant family. Although this strong man looks more like a soldier than a businessman, if you relax your vigilance because of his big size, you will definitely lose money. This strong man's family,

He is a typical businessman, and everyone in his family will deliberately train to look like a muscular man, in order to make those who deal with him relax their vigilance.

"It's not a big deal after you think about it, right? I think Butler Shelley is not in a hurry."

It's not just the strong man who uses his appearance to deceive consumers. The family of the beautiful woman who spoke up is best at using his own color to confuse the transaction partner when dealing with people, making it difficult for them to make the most correct judgment. I heard that this

The family also possesses a secret method that can influence the thinking of others. Even though the strength of this secret method is not high, as long as it is in the right environment and under the right external conditions, this secret method can play a very important role.

"You two, please stop interrupting and listen to the butler. If it's about ordinary matters, the Clark family is too stubborn to bother with us."

This person is relatively normal, he just looks a little ordinary, but his tone of voice has nothing to do with his ordinary appearance.

"Okay, are everyone here?"

Gus observed the people present and guessed what Xiao Jiujiu was in these people's hearts.

.

"But all the merchant families in Xueyin City are here. If the housekeeper has something to say, just say it directly. We left the venue on purpose to disgrace those nobles, and we will go over to apologize later."

Gus never talked about business, and finally let the dissatisfaction of these businessmen vent out. Businessmen naturally have to pursue profits. If they are allowed to risk offending those nobles just to say something insignificant, then the Clark family will

You have to face the exclusion from other merchant families in Xueyin City.

"Okay, I won't talk about the price. I'll tell you what's going on first. Just give me what you think you need to pay in exchange for this information."

Gus knows that among these businessmen, there are many who want to dominate the world, but because the Clark family is a die-hard who refuses to participate in domination, people from these families have never succeeded. The news he is about to say will not help those who do not have hegemony.

For those who want to dominate, it is priceless, but for those who want to dominate, even if they know the news, they will not make any changes.

"In a few days, the emperor's generals will come to Marrow Seal City and take over everything in Marrow Seal City. The Clark family does not intend to resist, nor does it coerce you into surrendering. On that day, any family that wants to resist can summon troops.

How about resisting, and the families who don’t want to resist, just wait silently for the dust to settle?”

It has to be said that this suggestion put forward by Bacon is very much in line with Gus's wishes. Although he will not work under Balliard in the future, he will still maintain a business empire with Bacon, but this empire is attached to a powerful country.

, if they don’t do something for this country, the more powerful their business empire becomes, the easier it will be destroyed.

Since Balliard did not take over the Seal City and was considering the interests of the Seal City, then the Clark family, as the owners of the Seal City, naturally cannot do nothing, whether it is "surrender" or "surrender"
