Chu Xisheng's attitude towards Zhou Xiongba was completely different.
Zhou Xiongba, the ‘Three Finger Shocking God’, was not only Zhou Liangchen’s father, he was also very kind to Chu Xisheng in the past.
Several secret medicines he took in his early years were obtained from the Linhai Zhou clan.
And the bloody battle picture is now tattooed on Chu Xisheng’s back.
"Uncle Zhou Shi."
Not only did Chu Xisheng send out a powerful force from afar to stop Zhou Xiongba who was about to show him a gift, he also stood up and strode over, holding Zhou Xiongba's hand.
There was a bit of helplessness and persuasion in his eyes: "Uncle Shi is my elder, so there is no need for such courtesy. In fact, Uncle Shi really doesn't need to-"
Chu Xisheng made a pun, saying that for the Linhai Zhou family, there was no need to join the Iron Banner Gang.
Zhou Xiongba laughed dumbly and didn't take it seriously: "Etiquette cannot be discarded. Only with rules can we make a circle. How dare Zhou dare to feel at ease and bring many benefits to the Iron Flag Gang? Otherwise, how can the brothers of the Iron Flag Gang be convinced? The Zhou family should be
The Iron Banner Gang will do its part for the great cause of the flag owner."
Nowadays, many of the Linhai Zhou family's industries rely on the protection of the Iron Banner Gang to survive in Linhai County.
The merchant ships of the Zhou family also carried the banner of the Iron Banner Gang, so that they could travel unimpeded in the lower reaches of the Shenxiu River.
The key is that behind the Iron Banner Gang, stood Chu Xisheng and Wuxiang Shenzong.
The world today is increasingly turbulent.
During the Western Expedition of Ice City in the Far East, chaos occurred frequently throughout China, and many hidden forces and big demon heads began to show their traces.
A few days ago, a large-scale demon tide appeared in Yunmeng Mountain, located seven thousand miles southwest of Dongzhou, and almost invaded the city of Dongzhou.
Fortunately, the army from the Far East Ice City arrived and took advantage of the situation to sweep and annihilate those monsters, so it didn't cause a catastrophe.
Zhou Xiongba felt uneasy.
He knew very well that the Linhai Zhou family was too small and would be shattered to pieces if they were not careful in such strong winds and waves.
They have to rely on something.
Before sailing against the current, they must first ensure that the boat under their feet is stable enough.
In times of crisis, there must be an anchor to hold their small boat.
So in the long run, this choice will never be a loss.
Chu Xisheng's lips twitched slightly.
Uncle Zhou Shi clearly stepped into a pit without even realizing it.
Zhou Xiongba's idea is correct.
The problem is Chu Xisheng's identity.
As long as he exposes the identity of Chu Zheng, the direct son of the Chu family, the imperial court will definitely not tolerate the Iron Banner Gang and will definitely do everything possible to kill the Iron Banner Gang.
Chu Xisheng felt a little guilty.
The Linhai Zhou family has been a good family for two thousand years, but in the future they may be implicated by their brothers and sisters and become traitors to the imperial court.
But this shows Zhou Liangchen’s character.
Not only did he not reveal their brother and sister's identity to Zhou Xiongba, he didn't even let it slip at all.
There were so many people at the moment that Chu Xisheng couldn't say anything else, so he could only smile and say: "Uncle Shi, please take a seat!"
Zhou Xiongba cupped his hands and sat down at the head of the hall.
Although he only joined the Iron Banner Gang three months ago, his status in the Iron Banner Gang is very high, sitting in the second position under the Deputy Banner Leader.
After Zhou Xiongba sat down, he looked around and glanced at everyone in the hall.
His penis couldn't help but contract violently.
In this small hall, there are five people with third-grade cultivation; there are actually more than a dozen people with fourth-grade and fifth-grade cultivation!
Zhou Xiongba was secretly shocked.
He knew that in the past year, the Iron Banner Gang had mixed in many good players with unknown origins.
These martial arts masters with mysterious identities seem to have taken the wrong medicine.
They obviously have a better future and even have the strength to make a good career in Heluo Province, but they rush to Dongzhou, a martial arts desert in the eyes of the world, and join the Iron Banner Gang, a local gang.
However, Zhou Xiongba never expected that the number of masters who had infiltrated the Iron Flag Gang would actually reach this scale.
Zhou Xiongba couldn't help but frown, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
These martial arts cultivators obviously have impure motives and ulterior motives.
I wonder if Chu Xisheng can control the situation?
But with Chu Xisheng’s talent and the size of the Wuxiang Divine Sect.
Even if the situation of the Iron Banner Gang collapses, it will not damage the fundamentals.
Just when Zhou Xiongba was deep in thought.
Zhenhai Hall’s leader ‘Smiling Tiger’ Lu Ze and Haiyan Hall’s leader ‘Bai Mei Dao’ Ying Feilong also arrived one after another.
Lu Ze is the head of the Linhai Lu family. Also three months ago, he joined the Iron Banner Gang with his whole family.
Ying Feilong, the leader of the Haiyan Gang, actually disbanded his Haiyan Gang and merged it into the Iron Banner Gang.
Tie Xiaosheng had no choice but to divide Linhai County into three parts after asking Chu Xisheng for instructions, with three people in charge.
This is also an old acquaintance. Chu Xisheng received the same warm reception and invited him to take a seat.
He was confused.
I don’t understand why these two families are joining in the fun?
Are you so afraid of Far East Ice City? Are you so worried about the current situation in the world? Do you have to join the Iron Banner Gang?
Chu Xisheng could only sigh secretly.
He doesn't want to harm his friends, but it's a pity that these people have to throw themselves into the trap.
The person who stepped on the trap ×2, there is nothing you can do.
However, these three families were not the only ones who were tricked. Most of the dozens of people who came later were famous figures in the Dongzhou arena.
There are local tycoons who have been inherited for hundreds of years, there are rivers and lakes forces that dominate the place, and there are also heroes who are famous in the world. At this time, they are all committed to the Iron Banner Gang and assume the position of helmsman.
——The tallest among them is the helmsman.
Tie Xiaosheng was still very stingy about the position of hall leader. Only the three families in Linhai had a deep relationship with Chu Xisheng. Linhai County itself was also one of the richest people in Dongzhou, so he was an exception.
And just as these people arrived one after another, and the hall was shaken by the continuous greetings, Lu Ze and Ying Feilong also sat down on the two seats behind Zhou Xiongba.
The two of them glanced at the head of the hall who was already crowded in the hall. They were also confused and confused for a while.
Lu Ze looked at someone in the hall and was stunned: "That's Lin Xiaoyun, the head of the Lin family in Jiangnan County. They actually joined the Iron Flag Gang?"
"The Lin family in Jiangnan suffered great losses this time. First, the Yunmeng Mountain Monster Clan captured Jiangnan County, the prefecture city, and then the Far East Ice City army swept into the city. It is said that the Lin family survived because they had received the news in advance, and at the critical moment
It was time to use the banner of the Iron Banner Gang."
Baimei Dao Ying Feilong also shook his head slightly: "But I never thought that they would really put down their status and join the Iron Banner Gang. This is the only third-grade family in our Dongzhou, and several of Lin Xiaoyun's clan members are serving as high-ranking officials in the court.
One of them is a county guard, and two of them are fourth grade."
Lu Ze only felt that the chair under his butt was slightly hot.
The dignified head of the Jiangnan Lin family is only the leader of the Iron Flag Gang, ranking at the bottom, but he, Lu Ze, ranks at the top of the clan.
Lu Ze then looked at the guardians and swallowed: "I never thought that today's Iron Flag Gang would be a gathering of heroes. With such prestige, are they planning to dominate the world of Dongzhou?"
When the Iron Flag Gang was shattered into pieces, Lu Ze didn't feel much about it.
Today, when Chu Xisheng gathered the crowd, Lu Ze was shocked to realize that the Iron Banner Gang had become a giant.
"I don't know. But——"
Baimei Dao Ying Feilong shook his head slightly: "It's just Dongzhou, why does it need such a big battle?"
Including the newly promoted Zhou Xiongba, there are as many as six third-grade masters here.
Just take out half of it and you can sweep through the Dongzhou Wulin.
This lineup, not to mention unifying Dongzhou, is qualified to dominate several surrounding states.
At this moment, Dan Chiling, who was not far away, looked slightly moved and turned his head slightly curiously to ask in a low voice.
"I wonder why Brother Ying and Brother Lu joined the Iron Flag Gang?"
Dan Chiling actually couldn't understand why the powerful families in these places and the powerful people in the world would rush to join the Iron Flag Gang?
The Linhai Zhou family may have been tied too deeply to Chu Xisheng because of Zhou's good ministers, and they couldn't be separated.
This is not necessary for the Ying family and the Lu family.
Chu Xisheng didn't force them.
Thinking of the previous experiences of their Dan family, Dan Chiling felt sad.
'Smiling Tiger' Lu Ze and 'White Eyebrow Sword' Ying Feilong heard this, first looked at each other, and then looked sideways at Zhou Liangchen in front of them.
Both of them sneered secretly.
Zhou Xiongba is obviously going to make a big bet on Chu Xisheng's future climate with the Iron Banner Gang.
They dare not not follow.
How prestigious is the Wuxiang Divine Sect now? How powerful is the Wuji Sword Lord?
As long as Chu Xisheng doesn't die young, he will definitely be another Bloody Sword Lord in the future.
How dare they not follow the footsteps of the Zhou family? How dare they fall behind the Zhou family?
Are you going to let the Linhai Zhou family become the dominant family in the future and be squeezed out by their family?
But this cannot be said in front of Zhou Xiongba.
If it had been anyone else, Lu Ze wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.
However, Dan Chiling is an old man from the Iron Banner Gang, and there is also a third-grade protector guest beside him.
Smiling Tiger Luze changed his mind and said with a smile: "Now the Far East Ice City is fighting with the Daning court, but it is the common people like us who are suffering. The Far East Ice City is now trying its best to steal local money and food, and my Lu family is in trouble.
heavy burden.
But I’m also worried that if the imperial court wins, they will settle the accounts later in the year and accuse us of all sorts of crimes. So after thinking about it, I decided, ‘The tree is big enough to enjoy the shade’.”
"Ying Mou is also worried about this! Our Haiyan Gang~Hai Yantang has 300 boats so far, and 30,000 boatmen have been drafted by the Far East Ice City. Although Ying Mou is helpless, he doesn't know what the crime is in the eyes of the court."
Ying Feilong, the white-browed swordsman, would not say that he also took money from Jidong Bingcheng. He looked helpless: "So in the Dongzhou Wulin, it is best to stay together and stay warm, and not to be slaughtered by the imperial court and Bingcheng.
In addition, my Haiyantang has been selling salt for generations, and recently cooperated with the Iron Banner Gang, and the business's income increased by 50%. I thought about it and decided to join the Iron Banner Gang."
The main reason is that there is no intermediary and no need for filial piety.
After Jidong Bingcheng occupied Dongzhou, it moved westward along the Shenxiu River. The officials and gangsters in this lower reaches were either swept away and killed, or they lay dormant.
Of the remaining ones, no one dared to provoke the Iron Banner Gang.
Dan Chiling shook his head slightly, guessing that neither of them told the truth, at least not in full.
At this time, a person next to him slapped his thigh: "So that's it. I said that there are so many forces joining the Iron Banner Gang in Dongzhou."
Dan Chiling followed the sound and found that the man was Wang Mingshan, the helmsman of Legang Helm.
Legang County is located in Nanwu County in the south, adjacent to Xiushui.
This man was originally a gangster in Legang County. Not long ago, he also made a branch and joined the Iron Flag Gang.
The Iron Banner Gang has very strict rules and not everyone is accepted.
However, Wang Mingshan first wrote a blood letter and increased the wages of all his long-term and short-term workers and coolies. Then he rushed to Xiushui in person and swore a blood oath in front of the Chu family mansion, saying that he would abide by the rules of the Iron Banner Gang.
This matter caused a stir in Xiushui County, and no one knows the outcome so far.
Now it seems that Captain Wang has got his wish.
Danchi Ling said with curiosity: "Then why did Brother Wang join the Iron Banner Gang?"
"There's no reason. It's just that in the past few months, various families have been vying to join the Iron Banner Gang, which makes people feel chills on their backs. I think there must be a reason for this, and I don't dare to fall behind others."
Wang Mingshan, the helmsman of Legang, glanced around with a startled look in his eyes: "Now that I have a look, it is indeed true!"
At this time, everyone around him started talking about it.
"But I heard that the Iron Banner Gang is about to sweep Dongzhou, and it will be like the Ice City in the Far East. Those who follow will live and those who go against will perish."
"Is this happening? I've never heard of it. But my family's sworn enemy has joined the Iron Banner Gang, and I don't dare to sit idly by."
"Several forces near our home have all recently adopted the banner of the Iron Banner Gang. How dare we disobey them?"
"Li Mou admires the reputation of Master Wuji Sword. Just like Hall Master Lu said, the tree is big enough to enjoy the shade."
While Chu Xisheng was receiving greetings from many of his subordinates who had arrived, he eavesdropped on what these people were talking about.
His facial muscles twitched again, thinking that it would be weird for me to believe you!
Which of these powerful aristocratic families does not have intricate and deep-rooted relationships? Which of those powerful Jianghu families does not have backers?
There must be a reason for these forces to take refuge in the Iron Banner Gang.
Chu Xisheng then put away his thoughts.
Just because at this time, several other big shots arrived in a hurry.
The first is Lu Jiuli, the leader of Tieshan Hall.
Lu Jiuli, the ‘Green Dragon Hand’, is an old man in the gang. He was originally the leader of Xunyang Hall and led the war in Xunyang County during the Iron Madman era.
After Tie Kuangren's death, Lu Jiuli decided to retire and became the master of Tieshan Hall, responsible for guarding Tie Kuangren's mausoleum and the black iron mine at Mijiazhuang Fort.
Perhaps it was because of the incident at the Tie Kuangren's mausoleum that Lu Jiuli had been frowning and worried.
He really wanted to talk to Chu Xisheng, but due to the large crowd, he could only endure it for the time being.
Then there was Li Manshan, the leader of Taishan Hall, the ‘Corpse Dog’.
This man is a disciple of the Corpse Mountain Sect. He was recruited by Chu Xisheng to join the Iron Flag Gang and served as the helmsman of the Iron Flag Hall in the name of going down the mountain to gain experience.
Just three months ago, Li Manshan asked Tie Xiaosheng for orders, gathered three thousand gangs and marched north, overwhelmingly conquering the entire Taishan County and becoming one of the hall masters.
Chu Xisheng was quite surprised by this.
Since Li Manshan joined the gang, he has been conscientious and conscientious in his work.
However, this person's ability and temperament are actually not very outstanding. He is too mediocre, too conservative, and not enterprising enough. In the future, he can guard one side, but cannot be used to develop.
Chu Xisheng did not expect that Li Manshan would show such courage and open up Taishan County with only three thousand gangs, and still stand there.
So when Li Manshan paid his respects, Chu Xisheng paid special attention to this person.
He didn't see anything unusual.
Li Manshan is still Li Manshan, and his cultivation level has only reached the lower level of fifth rank.
However, Li Manshan was accompanied by two masked men, but they were full of evil aura.
The two of them turned the rich black evil spirit into a physical armor and stomach, covering their entire body.
Their exposed skin is all golden.
If you look carefully, you can still see that layer of skin is covered with a layer of faint scales.
The nails on their hands are also extremely sharp and shine with a metallic luster.
"This should be the corpse king of the lower level of the second and third grades!"
Feng San couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "The master and his subordinates are really hiding dragons and crouching tigers."
Chu Xisheng was thinking about Corpse Mountain Sect.
This move of Corpse Mountain Sect is unusual and does not seem like the style of doing things of this hidden sect.
What exactly were they thinking?
Why do you put so much effort into supporting Li Manshan? What is your intention?
Next is the leader of Xunyang Hall, the ‘Eight-Armed Diamond Sword’ Bu Yancheng.
Bu Yancheng got a talent card from Chu Xisheng, and his cultivation level also progressed rapidly, reaching the fourth level at this time.
His temperament is still as straightforward and bold as before, but the Xunyang Hall in charge has almost become a devil's cave at this time.
The subordinates he brought with him were all masters from the first-grade Demonic War Building. They all had sinister faces, cold eyes, and fierce aura.
This one was accompanied by a Dharma Protector.
It was a man in his forties, with a body like an iron tower, broad arms and a round waist, carrying a heavy eight-sided stick that was eight feet long.
After this person came in, he took a careful look at Chu Xisheng, and then raised his hands with excited eyes: "Qing Batian, the protector of the Iron Banner Gang, is here to see the flag master!"
There was a sudden buzz in the hall.
Different from other Dharma Protectors.
Ba Tianlai is not only famous in the world, but he is also a real master of the land rankings.
Now this person ranks among the 421st on the Earth Ranking, and he is known as the "One Stick to Decide the Sound".
The 'Smiling Tiger' Lu Ze in the crowd couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
This is the sixth level 3 - plus the two level 3 evil corpses, that's eight level 3 combatants!
What is the purpose of Wuji Sword Lord recruiting so many masters?
This small Dongzhou can neither accommodate nor support so many dragons and tigers!
Chu Xisheng sighed secretly and nodded expressionlessly: "Please take a seat!"
He thought that these people in the Demon War Tower probably didn't have bad intentions.
These people only worry about not being able to fight and having no battles to fight.
They will try their best to provoke and cause trouble.
Over the past year, Xunyang Tang, run by Bu Yancheng, has been the most restless gang member of the Iron Banner Gang.
After Governor Wang Sheng was convicted and demoted not long ago, Xunyangtang has entered Jiangnan County and established a foothold in this state city.
Ba Tianlai and others had just sat down when another figure wearing heavy armor strode in, half-kneeling in front of Chu Xisheng's seat.
This is also an old acquaintance of Chu Xisheng, but not his old subordinate.
"Wei, the master of Nanwu Hall, comes to see the hall master!"
The entire hall suddenly buzzed again.
This is because Wei Lai's identity is unusual.
He was originally a fourth-grade guerrilla general of the Tianping Army.
A few months ago, the Far Eastern Bingcheng army landed in Dongzhou and defeated the 270,000-strong army under the command of Dongzhou Governor Wang Sheng in one battle.
The Tianping Army also collapsed in this battle and was almost completely wiped out.
After Wei Lai led his remnants to retreat to Nanwu County, he actually resigned from his post and led the nine thousand remnants of the Tianping Army under his command to change their clans and join the Iron Banner Gang.
Chu Xisheng looked at this person with a slight smile on his face: "Hall Master Wei, please rise. My brothers, there is no need to be so polite, please take your seat!"
He was actually worried about the imperial troops and horses.
The reason why they agreed to accept this person and the Tianping Army was because of the joint guarantee of Tie Xiaosheng, Ye Zhiqiu and Jian Zangfeng.
From this we can see that Wei Lai was a man of excellent character and was well-reputed.
Just as Wei Lai stood up neatly and walked towards his seat, Chu Xisheng's expression moved slightly and he looked outside the hall.
The person he has been waiting for has finally arrived.
That was none other than Tie Xiaosheng, the deputy banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang, flying in from afar with the two of them.
Chu Xisheng looked over attentively and frowned immediately.
At this time, Tie Xiaosheng looked sluggish and exhausted. His short hair, which was as thick as iron, was nearly half white.
However, when Tie Xiaosheng Yukong landed in front of this hall, he still felt refreshed.
When he looked at Chu Xisheng, it was as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart, and his whole body felt relaxed.
Tie Xiaosheng cupped his hands and clasped his fists, his words full of joy: "Tie Xiaosheng, deputy flag leader of the Iron Banner Gang, meet the flag leader!"
At this time, the two people behind him were also paying homage to Chu Xisheng.
They were a man and a woman. The man had a flying sword with his feet, and his face was pure and handsome, as if he was a banished immortal; the woman was flying in the air, her feet did not touch the ground, her figure was graceful, her appearance was alluring, and her temperament was charming and enchanting.
"The iron flag helps the protector of the law to turn the wind around. See the flag master!"
"Gu Mingyue, the protector of the Iron Banner Gang, meets the banner master!"
The entire hall fell into dead silence again.
——These are actually two third-grade masters!
Luze, the smiling tiger, was frightened and looked around again.
The protector guests include Wan Fengqing, Gu Mingyue, Dan Xuefei, Laughing Kuanglong, Ba Tianlai, Feng Liancheng, and Zhou Xiongba, the ‘Three Finger Shocking God’, plus the third-grade Taoist attendant next to Chu Xisheng.
The number of third-grade martial arts cultivators in this hall has reached eight!
If it weren't for the fact that there was no Tianbang in the gang, with this level of strength, it could be called the best gang in the world!
Chu Xisheng was also looking around the hall full of high-ranking martial arts cultivators.
He thought that if these people sincerely surrendered and listened to his orders, he would now have the confidence to raise a flag of rebellion and confront the Daning court.
The strength of the many masters in this hall alone is enough to separate several states!
It's just a pity that his "Divine Sword Heart" sensed that most of them were hostile to him.
Chu Xisheng then cast his eyes on Wan Fengqing and Gu Mingyue.
Both of them looked respectful, looking at their noses with their eyes, and their noses with their hearts.
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but laugh: "Both of you, please get up and take your seats!"
He then leaned back slightly and looked at the people in the hall: "All the hall masters have arrived, and several of the guardian guests have also arrived. The remaining masters of the branch are far away and difficult to reach at the moment, so there will be no more
Wait, let’s start the discussion directly! The first priority is the arrangements for the stay and stay of the seven guardian guests——"
At this moment, Chu Xisheng felt that his soul was turbulent, and the true energy in his body was also trembling.
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
He discovered that part of the secret promotion ritual of his "Shenyuan Wuxiang Gong" had been completed at this time.
Chu Xisheng was puzzled at first, and then showed a look of understanding.
Is it because of chaos?
Wuji is chaos, and phaselessness is Hunyuan.
The current Iron Banner Gang is indeed in chaos and chaos.
