Since the Ten-Eunuch Rebellion, the Dayun Dynasty has been losing its imperial power to powerful people from all walks of life. Bureaucrats from all over the country have been giving orders to the court, appointing and removing officials on their own, controlling taxation, and even controlling the military. According to the ancient system, the Dayun Dynasty
The land is divided into states, counties, and counties. The land of a state has a prefecture, and the military has a governor. They are stationed in two places, and they are not under the jurisdiction of each. The land of a county is respected by the prefect, large counties have governors, and small counties have counties.
According to the order, no troops are allowed to be stationed. However, these rules have long been abandoned, and the powerful people everywhere ignore them.
Poyang Prefecture is already the first county. Not only does it have official orders, but the prefect of the county also has a government office here. With a population of more than 100,000, it is already extremely wealthy.
Lu Haozhi obviously came here often. Not only was he familiar with the roads, but he also bought a huge house in the west of Poyang Mansion. When he brought Chen Qi to his house, he shouted, and there were more than ten people there.
A servant girl came up and presented him with things for washing, cakes, snacks, tea and fruits, showing the dignity of a master.
Although Chen Qi had to recruit two old women on the mountain, he couldn't serve anything. What's more, Tianma Mountain Dazhai was a den of thieves. Even if they snatched a few women, they would all be in trepidation. How can there be such liveliness and caring?
? Seeing this scene that the leader of the village had never enjoyed before, Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Seeing Chen Qi like this, Lu Haozhi smiled in his heart and said: "Although this little thief is cunning, he has never seen anything in the market after all. Wait for me to take advantage of it."
Keep him soft for a few days, and if he doesn't believe, he won't be able to enter my urn."
At that moment, Lu Haozhi ordered his servants to boil water and said he wanted to take a bath and change clothes. He even held Chen Qi's hand and told him to enjoy it without worries. A little maid took him to a big room at the back, and soon a servant carried a
A large wooden bucket with a diameter of more than ten feet was filled with hot water, and two plump-breasted and rather voluptuous women came to help him bathe.
Chen Qi had never seen this before. He immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub. He couldn't help but moaned in comfort, and let the two ladies rub each other and help him wash his body. I think he is the boss of Chen Qi, and he usually
If you can wash your face with a handful in the stream every three to five days, you are considered a clean person. How can you ever feel so comfortable? It actually took more than an hour to soak in the bath. Only then did Lu Haozhi
He changed into the new clothes he had prepared and wrapped the Burmese knife around his waist as before. Then he swayed and came out to see Lu Haozhi.
Lu Haozhi had long ago changed into rich clothes. The dark brocade was covered with brocade flowers, and his white face also had a bit of bookishness. No one could tell that he was the second in command of a bandit.
When Lu Haozhi saw Chen Qi coming out, he cheered and said: "My seventh brother is a handsome young man dressed like this. If he were not trapped in a den of thieves and became a young hero, I don't know how many female heroes in the world would be willing to do it."
Come up."
Although Chen Qi is young, he is quite tall, not much worse than Lu Haozhi. He was originally a tough little bandit, but after changing his clothes, he looks like a handsome young man.
Chen Qi didn't care about the compliment at all. He just smiled and said: "Second brother has made a lot of mistakes along the way, but he refused to tell me what happened. Now that we are home, can you tell me in detail?"
Lu Haozhi waved down everyone around him, and then said with a smile: "Seventh brother, what do you think of the house you bought for me?"
Chen Qi felt warm in his heart and replied with a smile: "Of course it's great. We don't enjoy it like this in Tianma Mountain."
Lu Haozhi laughed and said, "Seventh brother thinks it's great."
Lu Haozhi cleared his throat and said to Chen Qi: "This house was given to my brother by the three leaders of the Zhuzhi Gang. As long as you can convince the leader of the big village to join you, you can enjoy as much as you want. Zhuzhi Gang
We have a very good relationship with the prefect of this county. It is a hundred times better to be able to openly settle down in such a prosperous place and move around freely. It is a hundred times better than being a bandit in Tianma Mountain with nothing to spend even if we have money.
."
Only then did Chen Qi's heart tremble, and he understood that the second master had already taken refuge with the Zhuzhi Gang, one of the three major forces. He made this clear with a somewhat tentative meaning. If Chen Qi's performance was insufficient, he would be reassured.
If only Lu Haozhi shouted, dozens of masters from the Zhuzhi Gang would rush in from outside the mansion and cut him into pieces. Even Lu Haozhi and Chen Qi would not be able to defeat him. Only his iron bone skills are second to none.
The third level of fire was no match for Lu Haozhi.
Chen Qi thought very fast and even had good eyesight, so he looked like he was confused and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I joined Tianma Mountain, otherwise it would be good to go to Zhuzhi Gang and become a junior gang member. I
I’ve never lived in such a big city before!”
Lu Haozhi was overjoyed when he saw Chen Qi "taking the bait" and hurriedly said: "It's not easy for seventh brother to have this idea! I only have a share of the benefits, so I can share some with you. Besides, the three gang leaders of the Zhuzhi Gang are all very generous people.
The third gang leader has a close relationship with my brother, and with the good skills of the seventh brother, he will definitely be reused."
Chen Qi agreed with a smile and looked overjoyed, but his heart shuddered and thought to himself: "Why do you rely on seventh brother's good skills? Has he discovered my secret? I lost those three pages of gold.
Could it be that the book was stolen by the second village master?"
When Chen Qi lost the three pages of the golden book, he had thought about countless possibilities. At this time, he suspected Lu Haozhi. However, he thought again: "He only took the three pages of the golden book and did not succeed."
"Heshan Jing, I have been practicing hard for a few days and cultivating a spell, and I will definitely be able to assassinate him easily." The three-page golden book only contains some formulas for refining qi, and there are no spells, and Chen Qi also knew it well.
, after thinking about it for a while, I made a plan in my mind, and I wasn’t too worried.
After all, Chen Qi grew up in a den of thieves. He was ruthless, bold and cautious, and was not very afraid of death. He made up his mind to deal with Lu Haozhi, and instead became more affectionate with this "second brother".
Ever since Lu Haozhi discovered that Chen Qi had true energy, he had thought highly of this "seventh brother", and he had made several twists and turns in the plan he had in mind. At this time, he already wanted to sincerely "collude" with Chen Qi.
7. Chen Qi is young and has "high" martial arts skills. Black Tornado is already in his forties. He will be old in more than ten years. In comparison, Chen Qi's own value is much higher.
Lu Haozhi even thought that at Chen Qi's age, with the sixth or seventh level of Iron Bone Kung Fu, he might be able to open up all the acupoints in ten or twenty years and become a first-class master. There is such a future.
A master who is a master has a lot of conveniences in doing things. The Yinshan sect is also a big sect, but Lu Haozhi has not learned profound martial arts. He has been in the world for many years, and of course he knows the importance of martial arts. It's just that he has no qualifications, and there is nothing big in this life.
Although he has made progress, the Zhuzhi Gang is willing to recruit him, but they only care about the foundation of Tianmashan Dazhai. They may become ruthless in the future.
Suddenly, Lu Haozhi felt that Chen Qi was a "wonderful thing to live in" and thought to himself: "I am afraid that the leader of the village has also made this idea. We don't have a real master in Tianma Mountain, so we will train one by ourselves. I don't know how he found out about Chen Qi."
He is a martial arts prodigy, but it is a pity that I did not discover it earlier, otherwise Chen Qi would be my apprentice now."
Lu Haozhi thought about it and found that he didn't see anything suspicious about Dazhai Master Black Whirlwind's martial arts. It was not that Dazhai Master had obtained some martial arts secrets. He could only deduce that Chen Qi was extremely talented. He felt very sorry in his heart. He usually
He didn't pay much attention to this boy, so he was taken advantage of by the leader of the village.
The two village owners of Tianma Mountain, both thoughtful people, had lunch in Lu Haozhi's mansion. The two were chatting among themselves. Suddenly, there was a clear and long laugh like a warbler outside the yard, shouting: "It turns out that
It's Mr. Lu who is here, why didn't you meet me first, but deliberately waited for me to deliver it to my door?"
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but put his hand on the Burmese knife at his waist. Lu Haozhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "The three gang leaders were joking. I brought a friend here this time, and I was about to tell him
Only some people from the Zhuzhi Gang can take him out so as not to lose etiquette."
A twenty-seven-year-old woman dressed in a crimson dress, with a plump figure, gleaming eyes, and a full smile walked in. She smiled before saying anything, her flowers trembling, and Chen Qi secretly made a comment in his heart: "Smoke looks charming,
"She's charming to the bone", but she had a look of horror on her face, and couldn't help but look back and forth between the three gang leaders and Lu Haozhi.
Chen Qi's behavior made the leader of the three gangs laugh and said warmly: "Is this you Mr. Lu is talking about? He has a bad heart. Don't let him fool you. I've already suffered from him."
, I’m not being bullied by him now.”
The words of this beautiful Third Gang Leader were extremely ambiguous. Although Lu Haozhi was openly ridiculed, he could only smile awkwardly and explained: "This is our seventh brother from Tianma Mountain, the direct disciple of the Dazhai Leader, and the Third Gang Leader."
Don't be joking."
Li Meimei, the third gang leader of the Zhuzhi Gang, heard from her subordinates that she had seen Lu Haozhi in Poyang Mansion. She happened to have something to ask, so she hurried over. Although she saw that Chen Qi was quite immature, she meant to make fun of her, but after all, this matter
The relationship was very close, so I joked with the two of them, then changed the subject and asked: "Mr. Lu is in Tianma Mountain. Have you seen a person named Xiao Pingnan recently?"
Lu Haozhi was a little confused and replied: "I have never heard of this person! Where does this person named Xiao Pingnan come from, and why are the three gang leaders so concerned about him?"
Li Meimei, the third gang leader of the Zhuzhi Gang, sighed and said: "It's not me who is worried about him. I don't know how many people are worried about this person at this time, and they all have bigger backgrounds than the Zhuzhi Gang. This Xiao Pingnan is a descendant of the Immortal Sect, and he is with us
These Jianghu warriors are different. He had some shitty luck. He obtained a heavenly book from the legendary ancestor Tianhe. As a result, the news was exposed and he was hunted down by countless people. Among these people, we cannot offend.
I came to Zhuzhi Gang to ask about this matter. I heard that he has been around recently and may pass by your Tianma Mountain, so I came to ask."
Lu Haozhi smiled bitterly and said: "Even if he passes by our Tianma Mountain, alone and seems to be a passerby who knows martial arts, no one will rob him. Besides, how do we know who is called Xiao Pingnan? Even if we meet him in person,
You may not even know it."
Li Meimei smiled and said: "I have a portrait of him here. Mr. Lu will keep it for now to help our Zhuzhi Gang keep an eye on it. It is said that someone is willing to provide a magical weapon this time and offer a reward for this person's whereabouts!"
Lu Haozhi couldn't help but feel moved, and just as he was about to say something, Li Meimei took out a scroll of portraits from her sleeve.
