When Ji Qianqian was intercepted by Shangguan Shenhao, Chu Yunyun was quickly shuttled through the military formation.

Wherever she passed along the way, three more red radiances burst out.

No one is her enemy, and they can't even let her figure stay for a moment. There are even a few people who can't even activate the 'Red Light Talisman' in their hands.

Even an existence with a cultivation level as strong as the fifth level can only allow her to use a little more strength.

The difficulty lies in imitating the red dragon lineage’s secret skill ‘Red Fire Slash’.

Chu Yunyun has recovered about three-tenths of the true energy of her heyday, and can use the characteristics of Wuxiang Gong to simulate the martial arts of the Dan family father and son.

The problem is that she has never learned the 'Red Fire Slash' and knows nothing about this sword technique. She can only imitate the effect of the Red Fire Slash, which leads to a large consumption of true energy.

Chu Yunyun's true energy was still too little, and her killing speed was too fast, making it difficult to keep up.

After the 'blood of eternity' was sealed, she felt very uncomfortable.

In the past, how could she need to worry about the lack of true energy?

And just a moment later, Chu Yunyun finally found the location of Shangguan's military formation.

Just when Chu Yunyun came across the sky and came to the sky above the military formation, several loud shouts came from the thick fog.

"There's someone up there!"

"who is it?"

"Be bold!"

At the same time, three groups of crimson light shone in the sky.

Chu Yunyun was slightly surprised. Among the generals of the Shangguan family, there was actually a guy with such a keen spiritual sense that he could detect her traces.

However, these three people only managed to gain time to activate the 'Red Light Talisman'.

These three Shangguan family generals who were at the sixth level of cultivation were cut into dozens of pieces almost at the same time, and their remains turned into fire and burned.

Chu Yunyun's eyes were locked on the two figures in front of her.

——Those are the two clan brothers of Shangguan Shenhao.

After discovering the warning signal, the two men were not stupid enough to stay in the formation and resist. Instead, they broke away from the Shangguan family's military formation and fled towards the city wall at full speed.

Only about a moment has passed since the first 'red light talisman' exploded on the battlefield. More than twenty groups of red light have exploded in all directions in the fog.

The two of them had already made some guesses about the situation everywhere.

There are clearly two to three extremely powerful masters in this thick fog, killing the Xiushui coalition at high speed.

What's more, the strength of this mysterious master can be inferred from the three Shangguan family generals who were killed instantly.

They were helpers from the Hui tribe and had no intention of losing their lives here.

What frightened and despaired the two of them was that even though they tried their best to escape, even using two fifth-grade jade talismans, the mysterious black figure still caught up with them.

This mysterious man suddenly appeared and inserted himself between the two of them.

"Bastard!"

The older of the two, desperate to die, drew his sword and struck at the mysterious man.

However, in the next moment, his body was chopped into pieces by several swords. The remaining body was on fire, and the whole person turned into black ash and scattered in the void.

Chu Yunyun didn't even look at them. She had already moved her gaze towards the gate tower of Xiushui County City.

She is now less than two hundred feet away from the city gate tower.

Commander Shen Zhou should be here at this time.

She stepped in the void, and in just five breaths, she arrived in front of the city gate tower. However, when she punched three times in a row, she forced a crack into the temporarily activated protective circle in Xiushui City, and when she stepped on the wall, she didn't reach the top of the wall.

The figure of Commander Shen Zhou was discovered.

But at this time, she heard the heart-rending roar of Commander Shen Zhou in the distance: "Where is the magician? Disperse the fog! Disperse the fog! Blow up the wind to disperse the fog! Didn't you hear clearly? Quickly disperse this damn fog,

blow away!"

Chu Yunyun's eyes moved slightly, and she felt that the wind blowing from the southwest suddenly increased in strength.

This is obviously a magician from the Xiushui Family Alliance, who is trying to blow away the thick fog on the battlefield with the help of the current southwesterly wind.

Chu Yunyun curled her lips with some regret, then turned into a fleeting shadow, jumped off the city wall, and quickly rushed towards Chu Xisheng's central army.

Just when the wind was blowing on the battlefield, on the right flank of the Xiushui family coalition forces.

Lu Luanli's three-color light sword had already beheaded Long Nanshu, the head of the Long family.

Following Chu Xisheng's order, she came specially to sit on the left wing of Xishan Hall.

At this time, including Long Nanshu, the number of high-level martial arts cultivators who died under her sword had reached five.

This was all caused by a "red light talisman" written in Long Nan's book.

A total of six people rushed in one after another and surrounded and killed her.

Fortunately, Lu Luanli's current strength is completely different from what it was during the battle at Zhiweiju in the ancient market.

All of her bloodline talents have been improved by one or two levels, and her 'Great Ming King Wheel' has been cultivated to a higher level.

However, Lu Luanli's quarrel still spilled a trace of blood.

The person who injured her was a martial arts cultivator with a cultivation level as high as the fifth level, so she was forced to use the move 'Great Ming King Wheel*Peacock Slash'!

Peacock Slash is an ultimate move she has mastered, and it has been integrated into the 'Great Ming King Wheel'.

Its power was so incredible that even the fifth-grade martial artist was seriously injured by Lu Luanli's unexpected sword and was killed with two swords!

It's just that this ultimate move has a huge backlash on himself. After these two blows, Lu Luanli now feels the pain in his body's meridians every time he raises his hands or feet, and the energy and blood in his chest and lungs are boiling, making it difficult to calm down.

This reduced the power of her swordsmanship by a full 10%, and it was expected that she would need more than ten days of training before she could recover after the war.

Lu Luanli thought in his heart that he should improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

She entered the sixth level in October last year when she was in Linhai. At this time, she had already accumulated enough, and she was just waiting for Uncle Dong to send her the secret medicine.

In fact, if she hadn't mastered martial arts and martial arts, why would she have needed these six months?

Lu Luanli estimated that he could break through to the sixth level in just three and a half months, and his speed would not be inferior to that of that king.

However, her father said that if she wanted to compete with the king in the future, or even defeat him, then 'cultivation in both martial arts and martial arts' and the 'Great Ming King Wheel' would be her only choice.

The 'Great Ming King Wheel' is extremely powerful, and the sword energy is endless. It is the only martial art that has the hope of competing with the blood of the ages.

Who could have imagined it at the time?

Wang Qin Mugehui, who was the pillar of the sky in Daning, died young and fell inexplicably in Wang'an City.

If she had known this, she would not have practiced this troublesome sword technique.

These messy thoughts flashed through Lu Luanli's mind.

Lu Luanli quickly gathered her thoughts, and she felt secretly ashamed.

How could I be distracted during the battle?

My father said that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Even if he encounters a rabbit, he still needs to fight with all his strength.

I am really too relaxed——

She looked intently at the only remaining opponent in front of her, Long Heng, with murderous intent concentrated in her eyes.

"Bitch!"

Long Heng's eyes were about to burst, but his figure flew back quickly, leaving behind pieces of afterimages.

He was no match for Lu Luanli in his heyday, let alone his current state of being seriously injured and yet to recover.

Just now, the six of them went forward one after another to surround and kill Lu Luanli, but they were all killed by Lu Luanli calmly one by one.

If his father, Long Nanshu, hadn't shielded him from the knife, Long Heng would have been separated from his body by now.

So he can only escape!

Even if Long Heng saw his father Long Nanshu beheaded by Lu Luanli with his own eyes, he could only choose to escape.

Only by staying away from this bitch and her knife can the Long family have a future.

Lu Luanli looked indifferent and chased after Long Heng's figure.

The distance between the two quickly narrowed.

But just when Lu Luanli was about to catch up with Long Heng, a strong wind blew up in the surrounding heaven and earth.

The strong wind was so fierce that it blew away half of the fog over the battlefield in an instant.

Lu Luanli couldn't help but let out a cry. She could only let Long Heng go for the time being and quickly retreated like a phantom.

She must not reveal her identity now.

The key is that after the identity is leaked, it will bring great trouble to Chu Xisheng.

After all, she is part of the violent prince's party.

Once the imperial court learns that the Iron Banner Gang is involved with Prince Li's party, it will definitely eliminate the Iron Banner Gang at all costs.

Lu Luanli then came to the corpses and took out the corpse-transforming water from his sleeve.

She was afraid that the speed of turning into corpses would be too slow, so she directly spilled dozens of drops.

In this battle, she did not use her father Lu Chen's 'Rumeng Sword', but only used the three styles of 'Da Ming Wang Lun'.

The ‘Great Ming King Wheel’ has not appeared in the world for a long time, and no one should know it.

Among them was Long Heng who escaped.

However, as a precaution, Lu Luanli still had to dispose of the body and destroy the traces of the body to avoid being found clues from the body later.

Just as the corpses were sizzling and emitting stench and thick smoke, Lu Luanli flew up again and ran at full speed before the clouds cleared, returning to Chu Xisheng's main formation.

In order to allow Lu Luanli to "perform" calmly, Chu Xisheng did not let her go to fight in front of the Chinese army's formation, but kept her by his side.

When Lu Luanli arrived at the formation, the thick fog had almost dispersed.

She hurriedly ran into the tent behind Chu Xisheng, changed out of her night clothes, then walked back to Chu Xisheng's side, acting as his bodyguard in a serious manner.

At this time, on the other side of Chu Xisheng, Chu Yunyun glanced at her with concern: "Senior Sister Lu, are you injured? Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Luanli laughed dumbly and waved his hand carelessly: "A little injury, it will be fine after a while. But this time it was really dangerous, the wind came too fast, I was only a little bit close to killing Long Heng just now

, but had to give up.”

Chu Yunyun also nodded with deep understanding: "This wind is indeed coming very fast, and the magician on the opposite side is very clever."

"Really? If I hurry a little slower, my secret will be exposed."

Lu Luanli then looked forward with a solemn expression: "But just now, there were several unidentified masters in the middle army and the right wing. One of them was particularly outstanding. He actually killed nearly 20 people all the way from left to right.

The figure never paused."

Lu Luanli's eyes were full of doubts.

She couldn't even think of where these masters came from, and why did they help Chu Xisheng? Help Xishan Hall?

What kind of secret is hidden in Xishan Hall that attracts so many people of unknown origin?

Lu Luanli thought about this and asked Chu Xisheng in front of him in a solemn voice: "Brother Chu, do you know the identities of these people?"

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows: "It seems that there are several half-demon from the demon clan, and there is also one who practices the horizontal training of the tyrant body."

——That should be the Dan family father and son and Ji Qianqian.

"The fog was so thick just now that my supreme psychic couldn't see very far. I only know that these people are like dragons that see their head but not their tail."

Chu Xisheng turned around and glanced at Lu Luanli with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

"Real people don't show their faces, and those who show their faces are not real people. They are all highly cultivated people. If they deliberately hide their identities, even if they stand in front of us, it will be difficult for us to identify their identities."

Lu Luanli frowned when he heard this, and then nodded thoughtfully.

Chu Yunyun next to her had no expression on her face. She calmly and calmly pulled out her 'Suanni' and let her play on her shoulder.

※※※※

Just a little earlier, in front of the Chinese army formation, Xiang Kui was also rushing back.

Just now he was chasing down a seventh-level martial artist, but he accidentally pursued him too deeply and lost touch with his subordinates.

Just when he was halfway there, he found an acquaintance next to him.

"Wang Zheng?"

That was Wang Zheng of Nantianmen, also using his skills and running at full speed.

Xiang Kui discovered that there was a small bag on Wang Zheng's waist, and there was blood dripping from the bottom of the bag.

Xiang Kui narrowed his eyes, and then sneered: "It seems that Brother Wang's harvest is very good."

He sensed that the contents in the bag were all valuable magic weapons.

Wang Zhengze glanced at Xiang Kui at Beitianmen sideways with a look in his eyes: "Isn't it the same for you, you are more greedy than me."

Xiang Kui's waist is also bulging.

There were only a few small items in Wang Zheng's bag, and as for the large magical artifacts, he had already buried them deep underground.

However, the magic weapon has a powerful spiritual reaction, so it may not be hidden until he comes to collect it.

Last time at Wenjiabao, only three of the things Wang Zheng had hidden were recovered.

Xiang Kui laughed dumbly: "Xiang comes from a poor family, and because he has no money for cultivation, he has no choice but to work as a craftsman. Today is a rare opportunity to make extra money, and I really can't bear to let it go."

In fact, it’s not just about extra money.

Xiang Kui also didn't want to see Xishan Hall fall down.

This may be because Chu Xisheng has attracted the attention of the Wuxiang Divine Sect.

There is a saying that it is best to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

In the future, if he wants to infiltrate the Wuxiang Divine Sect, then isn't this Senior Brother Chu a ready-made figure?

It may also be because of the subsidy that he is now sneaking into Xishan Hall. Beitianmen has given him an additional subsidy of one hundred taels of magic silver a month on top of the original one.

Xiang Kui couldn't figure out what he was thinking. In short, after the heavy fog started, he actually gave up 100% of his strength.

At this time, Xiang Kui's face turned solemn again: "Did you see all the dozens of red light talismans just now? Junior Brother Wang, what do you think?"

"How else can we look at it? It seems that Xishan Hall and the Iron Flag Gang cannot be defeated. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. The depth of the water is unpredictable and cannot be measured."

Wang Zheng thought that there must be a huge secret hidden in this Xishan Hall.

He didn't say much, just because the surrounding fog was getting thinner and thinner at this time, being blown by the southwest wind and rolling northward.

Wang Zheng sped up and finally returned to find his subordinates just as the white mist dissipated.

And just after the white mist completely dissipated, Wang Zheng, who pretended to be nonchalant, was in a daze for a while.

He discovered that his 'Ranzi Tan' had penetrated nearly nine feet into the enemy's formation!

There was not a single living person within two feet of the surrounding area.

The key was that there was a large pile of corpses lying in front of them.

From the front of their formation to twenty feet ahead, there was not a single living person standing.

The entire Xiushui County army's military formation had been killed and a gap of five feet wide had been created.

"grass!"

Wang Zheng cursed subconsciously in his heart, and his heart sank secretly.

There are too many hidden characters in their world, and they are too cruel to kill in the fog!

Xiang Kui from Beitianmen also stiffened his face, and then rubbed his forehead with a headache, wondering how to deal with this situation?

At this time, among the twenty-five branches of Xishan Hall, the most elite "Liang" altar, led by Zhou Liangchen, broke into the enemy's formation within three feet; the most courageous "Xi" altar, also led by Liu Ruoxi

Next, the two most elite hundred households in the county army were defeated.

However, without the leadership of the altar leader, their "Chaos" altar actually penetrated nearly nine feet deep into the enemy's formation and defeated all the enemies in front of them in less than a moment. How should we explain this to the superiors?

Ji Qianqian, who had returned to his original place, also saw this scene.

She frowned slightly.

What is the intention of this spy who fights so hard?

At this time, Ji Qianqian heard a "buzzing buzzing" sound in the air.

She raised her head and looked at the source of the sound, only to see a dark rain of arrows in the sky.

These arrow rains come from the southwest.

Nearly 9,000 of Chu Xisheng's 12,000 hunters took advantage of the heavy fog to quietly move to a hilltop in the southwest to form an array.

——This is Chu Xisheng’s trump card to defeat the enemy.

With the help of the southwest wind, the range and power of the hunting bow are doubled, which can be used to attack enemy formations!

It is expected that when the other party dispels the wind and disperses the fog, the southwesterly wind will also strengthen.

But now it seems that this trump card has become the icing on the cake.

The Xiushui family coalition forces on the opposite side were overconfident in their overall strength and did not dispel the fog immediately.

But who would have thought?

Even though I was counting money, I never expected that this small Xishan Hall would be so full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

※※※※

At this time, there was already a panic in front of the city gate tower.

Before the war, of the fifteen family heads in the inner city, only nine returned here safely.

Of the many masters who have reached the fifth or sixth level, less than half remain.

But what made them even more panicked at this time was the rain of arrows that covered the sky.

This rain of arrows cleared a corner of the Xiushui coalition's right wing in just one salvo.

More than a thousand people were killed alive by the dense rain of arrows that diffused over them.

Among those nine thousand arrows, only a small part were rune-heavy arrows that could break armor and break gangs.

But even people like Shen Zhou and Shangguan Shenhao, who had reached the fifth level of cultivation, could not help but look solemn and fearful after seeing this.

Behind them, there were shouts of dissatisfaction.

"Lieutenant Shen, this is not the way to go. Why don't you order them to disperse?"

"We can't disperse. I didn't see them pressing forward with the whole formation. After the formation disperses, how can we resist?"

"Where are our heavy crossbows? Where are our archers? We must counterattack as soon as possible!"

"It's a south-westerly wind now! Our archers can't reach it. Unless we stop blowing the wind and driving away the fog, or there's a way -"

The man didn't say anything further.

Stopping the wind and driving away the fog is undoubtedly an even more stupid move, and no one on this city will agree with it.

Everyone then complained endlessly.

"The wind was blowing from the southeast just now, how come the wind direction changed so well?"

"This is really interesting. The fog will not work if it is not driven away, and it will not work if it is driven away. Today is a losing situation. No matter how we deal with it, we will lose."

"I have said before that we should not fight in the open air! We should retreat to the city and hold on to the city."

"What are you talking about? Who said at that time that the hearts of the people in Xishan Hall have been dispersed, and our side is clearly on the verge of victory. If we still dare not accept the challenge, it will make people laugh."

At this time, the nine thousand Orions in the southwest had begun their second salvo.

Following a 'buzzing' sound, the black rain of arrows flew down, continuing to harvest the lives of the Xiushui Family coalition forces.

In just a moment, a total of 700 people in that large military formation were pinned to the ground by numerous iron arrows.

Lieutenant Shen Zhou looked at this scene with a pale face, and just when the third round of arrows flew into the sky.

Shen Zhou's whole person seemed to have aged ten years: "Let the people below withdraw, we have lost."

In fact, there is no need for him to give orders.

Including his county army, the Shen family and the Shangguan family, all the clan soldiers are fleeing the formation.

They maintained order at first, but then they fled.

"Close the city gate! Lower the thousand-pound gate!"

Shen Zhou's voice was cold: "If there are some loud ones, please tell me below to let them all go around the city and enter the city from other directions!"

This will undoubtedly double the losses of each company.

Shen Zhou, however, had to guard against Xishan Hall taking advantage of the situation and rushing into the city.

At that time, not only he was finished, but also the prefect, county magistrate, etc. of Xiushui County were all finished.

Shen Zhou knew in his heart that he had deeply offended many noble families in the inner city by not ordering the fog to be dispersed today, and that the county army had suffered heavy losses, which was a huge crime. It was a foregone conclusion that he would abandon his official position.

Shen Zhou had no choice but to leave a way out for himself and the Shen family.

Shangguan Shenhao's face was also as pale as paper. He wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with his sleeve and said expressionlessly: "Prepare a Qiankun Flying Sword and inform the prefect of the outcome of this battle as soon as possible. Get another capable person,

Cross the river to seek help from General Wei Lai of the Tianping Army and ask him to cross the river as soon as possible! Otherwise, all our properties waiting outside the city will be destroyed."

※※※※

After the Xiushui County Army collapsed, the Xishan Army also began to stride forward.

Their morale was like a rainbow, sweeping across all the coalition soldiers under the city wall.

No one expected this result. Everyone's face was flushed and their expressions were excited and excited.

The military orders issued by Chu Xisheng to the various tribes in Xishan were extremely cruel, asking them to force all defeated armies within sight to surrender.

If they cannot be forced to surrender, shoot them all and leave no one alive!

Chu Xisheng predicted that there were no large numbers of troops inside Xiushui City.

Even if there were, I would never dare to go out to fight in the city at this moment!

Therefore, Chu Xisheng only held a Xishan Tang Gang of about a thousand people in his hand to prepare for any accidents, and the rest of them were all thrown out.

At present, Xishan Tang does not have the strength to attack the city, nor can it forcefully attack the county city under the restraint of the Tianping Army across the river.

And once Xiushui County is captured, the nature of the battle will change. That is to raise the flag of rebellion and start a rebellion, which is no longer limited to the category of civil rebellion.

At that time, both the rich and powerful people in Xishan and the hunters and woodcutter will be half-hearted and anxious.

The psychological pressure brought to them by rebellion and civil uprising is completely different.

Chu Xisheng did not intend to act rashly and shake the morale of the army.

Even if one day he really decides to raise the flag for rebellion, he will try his best to let everyone step on his ship without knowing it and willingly.

However, the city does not need to be attacked, but these county troops and the family soldiers of the Xiushui family must be cut off.

What he has to do is to use all his strength to kill and remove all possible enemies in the future to reduce his own pressure!

Chu Xisheng would never allow a second Xiushui family coalition force to emerge from the Xiushui County city soon and could threaten Xishan Hall.

As the saying goes, "Compassion does not control soldiers."

Any kind thoughts he has at this time may become his downfall in the future.

And while the various tribes were chasing the enemy northward and mopping up the defeated troops, Chu Xisheng personally led 1,500 people to the east dock of the city and stepped onto the main helm of the Iron Flag Gang.

The east dock of the city is in a state of disarray.

Previously, the Xiushui Allied Forces divided 3,000 troops into the dock area and attacked the Iron Flag Gang's family area and chief helm near the dock.

At this time, the elite members of the Iron Banner Gang have been transferred to Mijiazhuang to protect Tie Kuangren, and there are not enough gang members left behind.

The boatman coolies on the pier also knew about the death of Tie Kuangren, and they were all panic-stricken and confused.

Some of the more fragile people felt like the sky was about to fall.

Fortunately, many of the coolies deeply felt the kindness of Iron Maniac. Even after learning about Iron Maniac's death, they still picked up their swords and joined the guard.

Therefore, until the Xiushui Family Allied Forces were defeated, only a few houses on the General Headquarters' side were burned down, and there was not much loss in terms of personnel.

When Chu Xisheng led a gang of 1,500 people and came under the banner of "Xishantang", the 3,000 people of the Xiushui Allied Forces had already fled after hearing the news and broke into Xiushui City early.

At this time, the entire Iron Banner Gang and boatman coolies in the east dock of the city were kneeling on the ground.

"We meet the young flag master!"

At this time, many people's eyes were red and even shed tears.

"Young Banner Master is mighty! I thought just now that our Iron Banner Gang was finished and we were going to burn with those scraps and jade!"

"The battle just now was well fought! It was very satisfying. I really want to kill all the bastards in the city."

"Young Flag Master, the old Flag Master died unjustly! You must avenge the old Flag Master!"

"Fortunately! Fortunately! We still have the Young Flag Master to rely on and make the decision for us! Our Iron Banner Gang has not collapsed!"

"The old flag master has said that if anything happens to him, the young flag master will succeed him! From now on, you will be our flag master!"

Chu Xisheng was too lazy to put on airs. He walked like a thunderbolt and directly found some of the leaders and kicked them: "Get up! They are crying like women! What time is it now? The Tianping Army is not far across the way. I want to kneel down.

Are they beheaded here?

Bring me people to prepare boats, and summon all the brothers from the ancient market and the east dock of the city! I want you to mobilize all the boats and all the people that can be mobilized. Put all our bows and crossbows on the boats. The bigger the momentum, the better.

good!"

These people were shocked when they heard this, and immediately led everyone to the various ships.

At this time, the boatmen and coolies on the pier also responded loudly.

When they first heard that Tie Kuangren had died in battle, they felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

That was the pillar that they had always relied on and even believed in, but now it suddenly collapsed, making everyone feel weak at their feet, in a daze, and feeling helpless around them.

But just when everyone felt panicked, they saw with their own eyes that the Xishan Hall led by Chu Xisheng defeated the Xiushui family and the Xiushui County army like a whirlwind.

This made everyone feel excited.

The Iron Banner Gang's sky was about to fall, but it was forcibly held up by a giant hand holding up the sky.

That’s right! The Iron Banner Gang still has a young banner leader!

That is the 91st place on the world-famous Qingyun Ranking, and the 9th place among the Ten Great Swordsmen of Shenxiu!

As long as the Young Banner Master is here, the Iron Banner Gang will never collapse!

At this time, Chu Xisheng called two of the middle-aged men to stop: "Deputy Hall Master Xue, Deputy Hall Master Liang, you two each go up and down the river. Call all the outer hall members of the Tieqi Gang over.

You tell all the outer hall leaders, as long as our Iron Flag Gang is still there and our people are still there, no one can touch those properties and territories!

But if the gang is gone, no matter how much territory we have, no matter how many assets we have, we can't hold it."

One of these two people is the deputy hall master of Xuanfeng Hall, and the other is the deputy hall master of Iron Flag Hall, with a cultivation level of lower than sixth rank.

Chu Xisheng had met them several times before, and they were considered acquaintances, but they didn't have much friendship.

However, the Xuanfeng Hall and the Iron Flag Hall are the core halls of the Iron Flag Gang, and today they were left behind by the Iron Maniac to guard them.

This shows the trust the Tie brothers have in them.

The two men looked solemn: "I will obey the order of the young flag master!"

At this time, Chu Xisheng looked at a middle-aged man dressed as a bookkeeper: "How much money and food are there in the rudder now?"

This is a deputy director of the Internal Affairs Hall.

Prior to this, the Internal Affairs Hall had always been led by Shofeng Jianlin Shijie.

The man looked solemn: "Currently, there are 550,000 taels of magic silver and 30,000 shi of food in the warehouse. In addition, the flag owner also has a treasury in the main rudder. This is the fund specially prepared by the flag owner for the gang war. Every person in the Iron Banner Gang

One hundred thousand taels of cash silver are deposited every month, and no one can touch it. I have never gone in, so I can only estimate that there are about 900,000 taels of magic silver inside."

Chu Xisheng raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

This was the best news he had heard since hearing the sad news of Tie Kuang's death today.

This magic silver should be able to last for a while, but the food is too little——

"Send an order to Li Shenshan, Wei Yang! After they have swept away the defeated troops outside the city, each will lead his own gang and three thousand hunters to attack all the surrounding manors and forts. I will give them one day to capture the area within fifty miles.

All manors and forts, tell them to do their best to search for money and grain! Especially grain, all grain, grass and livestock will be sent to Xishan Town for resettlement."

As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first.

Chu Xisheng currently has less than 20,000 silver in his hands, while Xishan Tanggong only has 70,000 in silver.

And for today's battle, the bounty he promised in advance would be hundreds of thousands of taels.

The enemies that the Iron Banner Gang now faces include the Seventeenth Chain Dock, the Tianping Army, and the Jiangnan County Naval Battalion.

Chu Xisheng predicted that their next battle and confrontation with the government and various forces would definitely last for ten days or even more than a month.

It is already difficult for the Iron Banner Gang to support its members, and if they want to mobilize all the hunters and shipwright coolies, they will need a lot of money and food.

The more the merrier!

When Chu Xisheng said this, he saw Lu Pingyuan leading a group of people, pushing several carts filled with linen mourning clothes, coming from the official road in the direction of Xishan Town.

He waved to Lu Pingyuan: "Put the filial piety thing aside for now, I'll leave it to others. Go to the Killing Building quickly and hire a master for me. The cultivation level must be at level 5, the higher the combat power.

The better, I'll pay you ten, no! Fifteen thousand taels of magic silver, hire for two months! You must have a good reputation and be willing to contribute."

Chu Xisheng's face twitched slightly when he said the words '150,000 taels of magic silver'.

Normally, hiring a fifth-grade high-level martial arts cultivator who is willing to serve others would only cost 500,000 taels to 700,000 taels of magic silver per year.

Chu Xisheng had to spend the money.

What the Iron Banner Gang lacks now is a master who can suppress the situation.

There are indeed a lot of ‘masters’ under Chu Xisheng’s command, but none of them can see the light of day.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Lu Pingyuan looked solemn. He knew that this matter was of great importance and must be handled with all his strength.

At this moment, they heard a cry from above: "His voice!"

The voice was powerful and rough, but it also suppressed the sadness.
