PS: Kavin has been really bad lately, but that’s all for today.
※※※※
In Xiushui County, Dongzhou, Tie Qi Gang's chief helmsman and deputy flag leader Tie Xiaosheng were sitting in the lobby.
He frowned and looked gloomy.
In the lobby, there are also the masters of the lobby, including Li Shenshan, Wei Yang, the 'Eight-Armed Diamond Sword' Bu Yancheng, the 'Poison Fire Sword' Dan Chiling, the 'Green Dragon Hand' Lu Jiuli, and the 'Zombie'
Dog' Li Manshan, 'Shadow Kill Gun' Sikong Xin and 'Bamianfeng' Lu Pingyuan, etc., are all core figures of the Iron Banner Gang.
There were also several fifth-level masters recently recruited by the Iron Banner Gang, as well as three sixth-level magicians present.
Everyone's expressions were solemn and their eyes were cold.
Their eyes all fell on the small sword on the table in front of Tie Xiaosheng.
The small sword was about a foot long, and it was completely icy blue. It was filled with cold air, causing the table to be covered with a thin layer of ice.
The key point is the letter underneath the ice blue sword.
The letter is open, and everyone can see the three lines on it.
‘Those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will perish.
The leader of the Iron Banner Gang is required to go to Ice City in the Far East to pay homage to my king within ten days to show his submission, otherwise he will bear the consequences.
——Far Eastern Ice City.’
The 'Eight-Armed Diamond Sword' Bu Yancheng's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he looked at the 'Shadow Killing Gun' Sikong Xin who was two seats away from him: "When did this letter and the sword appear here?
"
This woman was originally Zuo Qingyun's guard leader and the gold medal killer of Shashenglou.
At the beginning of the year, this woman left Xiushui County and went to her sect's "Shen Yin Sect" to practice cultivation. It was not until two months ago that this woman was promoted to fifth rank and returned to Xiushui County.
Tie Xiaosheng followed Chu Xisheng's instructions before leaving and directly entrusted him with the high position of the leader of the Iron Flag Hall.
Tieqitang is regarded as the personal bodyguard of the hall leader, Chu Xisheng, and is one of the three most powerful halls in the gang.
Normally, if a newcomer to the Iron Banner Gang suddenly ascends to a high position and controls the core of the Iron Banner Gang, it is bound to cause public outrage.
Sikong Xin did not provoke a backlash within the gang.
This is because Sikong Xin's combat prowess is impressive and can almost compete with Buyan City; secondly, the Iron Flag Hall has always been under the direct jurisdiction of the main hall, and although the salary is generous, there is little oil and water.
The third is that Sikong Xin himself has a deep foundation in the Iron Flag Gang.
The 800 red-clothed martial arts masters Zuo Qingyun gave to Chu Xisheng before were also one of the foundations of Chu Xisheng's career. Most of them are now filling various halls within the Iron Banner Gang.
As the leader of these red-clothed martial artists, Sikong Xin was deeply supported.
In addition, Sikong Xin has stayed in the ancient market for several years, and the elders of the Iron Banner Gang know her very well.
Compared with the masters recently recruited by the Iron Banner Gang, Sikong Xin is undoubtedly one of his own.
"The prediction is between chen hour and si hour last night."
Sikong Xin stood up and explained in a solemn voice: "This lobby is usually closed, but every hour in our Iron Flag Hall, someone will open the door for inspection. Yesterday at the beginning of the hour, the lobby was still normal. At the beginning of the hour, it was normal.
, our people saw this letter and the Jibingjian on the desk. After the deputy flag master learned about it, he urgently called everyone to come to the main hall to discuss it."
Then she clasped her hands into fists and bowed to everyone with a guilty look on her face: "It's all because of my incompetence that I allowed people from Far East Ice City to sneak in."
After everyone in the hall heard this, they didn't have any intention of blaming him.
The one who sent the sword this time was from Far East Ice City!
There are countless masters in the Far East Ice City, and they are a force powerful enough to compete with the Daning Dynasty for China.
Compared with this, the Iron Banner Gang is like ants in front of a giant elephant.
The two are not the same volume or level at all.
Just sending one person at random can defeat all the masters of the Iron Banner Gang.
Lu Jiuli shook his head slightly: "The Tianji Martial Arts Book says that there are more than twenty masters at the level of the Eastern Ice City, and their posts cannot be stopped. And I guess within the scope of Dongzhou, receiving this extremely
Shouldn't we be the only one who sticks to the Ice Sword and Life and Death?"
"Indeed, yesterday in the entire Dongzhou, almost all forces with fifth-grade masters received their life and death notices."
Lu Pingyuan smiled bitterly: "There are more than two hundred families in total, and they are all around Chenshi."
He is now the leader of Tingfeng Hall, responsible for collecting all kinds of information and details for the Iron Banner Gang.
As Lu Pingyuan finished speaking, everyone in the hall was shaken.
"More than two hundred families? And they are all in Chenshi. How is this possible?"
"This is in broad daylight, sneaking into the main rudder and posting in broad daylight. It is clearly a demonstration against us and a shock to the Dongzhou Wulin."
"Whoever obeys me will live, and whoever goes against me will perish! How domineering!"
"Is Jidong Ice City preparing to land in Dongzhou?"
While everyone was talking, Lu Pingyuan spoke again: "Lu predicts that the men and horses that Far East Ice City landed from Linhai County in Dongzhou should be just one of their partial divisions. Their main force should target the 'Canglang River'
Tianhai County, the estuary of the sea.”
"oh?"
Li Shenshan looked at Lu Pingyuan in confusion: "Hall Master Lu, is there any basis for this?"
"Before coming, I bought news from Wu Meiniang, and Cangzhou Wulin also received a life and death note from Jidong Ice City."
A look of shame appeared on Lu Pingyuan's face.
After he became the leader of Tingfeng Hall, although he tried his best to build the Iron Flag Gang's news channels, most of them were concentrated in Dongzhou.
Outside Dongzhou territory, she is still far inferior to Wu Meiniang.
However, this woman has Tianji Pavilion behind her, and her well-informed information from all parties is only inferior to that of Lunwu Pavilion.
"Also last night, six of the seven families with twenty-four surnames on Quanlin Island were wiped out by Jidong Ice City, and the rest had to surrender to Jidong Ice City. Wu Meiniang said that there are people in their Tianji Pavilion over there
I saw with my own eyes the main city of Far East Ice City and their large fleet. There are thousands of them, covering the sky and the sun. And now the imperial army is gathering towards Tianhai County."
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed again.
Quanlin Island is a large island in the north of Tianhai County. There are about two counties on the island. The imperial court has two county offices on Quanlin Island, but there are seven fourth-rank aristocratic families, twenty-four
This local wealthy family is known as the Seven Families with Twenty-Four Surnames. They make a living by fishing and sea trade. Each family has thousands of clan members. Due to their abundant financial resources, their strength is not weak.
Unexpectedly, six families were wiped out overnight.
"Even a partial division is troublesome. Only our Iron Banner Gang can match it." Dan Chiling shook his head: "Our Iron Banner Gang is in Dongzhou and can barely be considered a big force. We already have thirteen fifth-grade masters.
.However, compared with the Far East Ice City, this strength is not worth mentioning."
He was worried. At the beginning of the year, Chu Xisheng put down the Xiushui Rebellion and forced the prefect Sikong Chan to be killed, which greatly increased the power of the Iron Banner Gang.
Dan Chiling thought he could settle down, but only half a year later, something unexpected happened again.
It's a pity that he just called a few people from the Red Dragon lineage to Xiushui, and they are now making money from Shenxiujiang River happily.
Wei Yang also had a headache.
In recent days, the remains of Shence Capital have contacted him and Li Shenshan.
They also met Shui Canglang, General Shence Zuo.
The two of them were in a dilemma at first.
They cared about their former colleagues and were extremely angry at the death of Wang and the betrayal of the Tieshan Qin family.
However, Chu Xisheng was also very kind to the two of them.
It would be ungrateful and unkind to drag the Iron Flag Gang into trouble for the sake of our colleagues in Shence Capital.
However, after meeting, they realized that General Zuo Shui Canglang had no such intention.
However, after all the divine strategies were reduced to pieces, some brothers in the army were unable to make a living due to family problems. They wanted to use the channels of the two of them to join the Iron Banner Gang anonymously and take up positions to support their families.
We also guarantee that these people will withdraw from Shence Capital from now on and will not participate in any righteous deeds in Shence Capital.
We will not use the name of the Iron Flag Gang to provoke the government or violate national laws.
In addition, Shencedu also wanted to do some maritime trade business to amass money.
Wei Yang had no reason to refuse, not to mention that almost all the brothers in Shencedu were at the eighth level and were proficient in battle formations and had impressive combat prowess. They were also very coveted.
Moreover, General Zuo Shui Canglang is a man of great faith. Since he has made such a promise, he will never go back on it in the future.
Therefore, in recent days, he, Gushitang and Li Shenshan's Xiushuitang, have recruited a large number of good people.
As a result, just two months later, such a disaster happened.
Wei Yang secretly had a headache.
He is not afraid of a fight to the death. If the Far East Ice City comes, he will just pick up his knife and fight them to the death.
Wei Yang was worried that they would trick his colleagues in Shence Capital.
"Our army is good at water warfare, and the most valuable thing lies in the number of people." Wei Yang rubbed his forehead: "If it is to fight on the spot, our Iron Banner Gang can now mobilize 16,000 elite gang members and 24,000 Xishan Hunters
, 30,000 miners, at least 900 large ships, and 120,000 brothers on both sides of the river. But I predict that once the war starts, we people will be found by them and killed one by one, leaving the Iron Flag Gang without a leader."
In the past half year, the Iron Banner Gang's power has grown like a snowball due to its abundant financial resources. However, the master level is still a bit weak, and there is still no fourth grade to support the facade.
Wei Yang was secretly distressed, thinking that his strength was still too weak.
In the past six months, for some unknown reason, his bloodline talents have increased sharply.
While the combat power has greatly increased, it has also gradually made up for the consequences of using the technique of stimulating potential half a year ago.
But now, Wei Yang is still one step away from the fifth level and cannot take the secret medicine.
Next to him, Li Shenshan rubbed his chin with his hand and asked thoughtfully: "Can it be foggy?"
He thought it was impossible, so he asked his colleagues in Shencedu for help.
Dan Chiling's mind moved and he thought that this could be possible.
Recently, an ancestor came to his family. He was very capable in battle, but he was just as invisible as him.
‘Corpse Dog’ Li Manshan also raised his eyebrows.
If there is fog, then he can also invite one or two masters from Corpse Mountain Sect.
Recently, their Corpse Mountain Sect has also relied on the Iron Banner Gang to make its river transport business prosperous.
This great situation cannot be ruined by Far East Ice City.
The Corpse Mountain Sect doesn't have the courage to challenge Far East Ice City head-on, but it can still be done by hiding in the fog to help.
However, these two people did not notice that among the many fifth-grade people sitting below him, some of them also had strange looks on their faces.
"Fog can rise, but it's only suitable for battle formations."
Tie Xiaosheng thought of the mist that filled the area around the dock when he fought with Sikong Chan that day, as well as the mysterious masters in the mist.
Tie Xiaosheng then shook his head, thinking that these mysterious masters, with cultivation levels of up to fourth level, were not enough to deal with the Far East Ice City.
What's more, if every battle is covered with smoke, what's the point of calling them the Iron Flag Gang? It's better to call them the Iron Fog Gang.
"We, the masters of each hall and rudder, are usually distributed in various directions. If the ice city in the far east is like sending people to assassinate us, what is the use of us fogging up?"
As Tie Xiaosheng spoke, he pointed at the Jibing Sword and the Life and Death Sticker on the desk in front of him.
If the person who delivered the life-and-death stickers took action, it is estimated that not many of the dozens of people here would survive in the end.
And for such an expert, Jidong Bingcheng actually placed more than 200 people in Dongzhou!
"So Tie Mou's intention is to inform the flag owner of the matter as soon as possible and ask the flag owner to make a decision. Before that, we will break it into pieces to avoid its sharp edge."
Tie Xiaosheng squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone present: "From now on, all the captains and above of the Iron Flag Gang must leave the hall, hide their identities, and hide among the people!"
"Break it into parts?" Lu Jiuli, the 'Green Dragon Hand', thought thoughtfully: "It is possible to avoid its sharp edge, but is it feasible?"
Tie Xiaosheng thought, of course it is feasible.
Just as he was about to answer, he heard a chuckle from outside the hall.
"As expected of the deputy flag master, this is indeed the best way to do it."
Tie Xiaosheng's expression changed, and he looked towards the entrance of the lobby, and then he saw a charming and graceful figure standing at the entrance with a smile.
"Meiniang?" Tie Xiaosheng was slightly surprised.
He frowned slightly, then flicked his sleeves and asked the gang members on duty outside to let people in.
Flag owner Chu Xisheng trusted this woman very much and once gave her an Iron Flag Order, allowing her to come and go as she pleased at the Iron Flag Headquarters.
Tie Xiaosheng did not expect that this woman's spiritual sense was so sharp that she could actually regard the magic circle in the hall that blocked the five senses and spiritual awareness as nothing.
Wu Meiniang saw the hidden vigilance in Tie Xiaosheng's eyes. She didn't take it seriously and stepped into the door with a smile: "Don't blame me for eavesdropping. It's because the talisman array in your lobby has been tampered with and there are already flaws. They
If I want to eavesdrop on what you say, it will be easy."
‘Shadow Killing Gun’ Sikong Xin’s expression changed slightly, and he stood up immediately: “All the magicians are coming with me!”
She was careful and cautious, so she asked the magician to check the talisman array in the lobby, but no problems were found.
Sikong Xin himself was not good at formations, so he didn't notice any difference.
Wu Meiniang bowed her hands to everyone in the hall: "I'm here to say goodbye to you all. Tianji Pavilion asked me to temporarily evacuate Dongzhou and avoid contact with the Far East Ice City. At most noon today, Meiniang will take a boat to Wang'an City
.Before leaving, Mei Niang has a good word for you."
Tie Xiaosheng was solemn when he heard the words, and returned the greeting with clasped fists: "Mei Niang, please speak!"
Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly and circled the cigarette in her hand: "Now the honor and disgrace of the Iron Banner Gang are all tied to your banner leader. As long as Xi Sheng is still here, this flag will not fall, and the hearts of the Iron Banner Gang will be
It won't fall apart.
So if you hide your identity for the time being, it will not harm the overall situation. The brothers of the Iron Flag Gang should still eat, drink, do what they should do, and live the life they should live. There is nothing the Far East Ice City can do to you, unless they plan to use the Iron Banner Gang to
More than 100,000 brothers from the Banner Gang were killed."
Tie Xiaosheng nodded slightly when he heard this, that's what he thought.
Wu Meiniang seemed to be talking to Tie Xiaosheng, but her eyes were scanning everyone present.
She was thinking in her mind that in this full hall, it was like a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, with many evil spirits inside.
Recently, due to rumors in the world that the Nishen Banner fell into the hands of Chu Xisheng, several powerful figures in the world have hidden their identities and infiltrated the Iron Banner Gang.
This matter is extremely secretive, and even the information channels of Tianji Pavilion cannot detect it.
If Wu Meiniang had not been deeply rooted in the local area and had special talents, she might not have been able to detect the clues.
Nowadays, this pool of water in the Iron Banner Gang is simply unfathomable.
Chu Xisheng's situation is also quite dangerous, and he has been coveted and hunted by all parties.
Wu Meiniang's face showed no emotion at all: "Furthermore, dealing with the Far Eastern Ice City is a matter for the imperial court. Why do you, the Iron Banner Gang, need to stupidly go up to it? Even if the imperial court wants to use the Iron Banner Gang to resist the Eastern Imperial Ice City, then
We should also provide enough benefits, right? That’s it for now, you can think about it carefully.”
She cupped her hands again, turned and walked out of the lobby door.
Everyone in the hall frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
Dan Chiling did not notice that among the many fifth-grade people sitting under him, some of them had strange looks on their faces.
