"He had been stabbed more than a dozen times, and he was already dead."
Wang Wu remained calm and expressionless: "Seven people died in this battle, and Lian Jiu has the highest status."
There was a hint of indifference in his words, as if he didn't care about Lian Jiu's death.
However, Zhuang Wudao knew that this was not because Wang Wu was heartless, but because he had been used to life and death for decades. People like them, who drank and drank, drank and drank, and were surrounded by reds and greens today, might be buried in mass graves tomorrow.
The brother who was alive and kicking yesterday may be lying dead on the street today.
Even Zhuang Wudao himself had experienced life and death several times in just ten years, and had to send away several brothers.
But even so, he still felt a little blocked in his heart. People were close to each other, and Lian Jiu had only been working with them for a few days, so he didn't have much affection. However, when he scanned the crowd, Zhuang Wudao found that there was at least one missing person among them.
Two old friends from the past,
"He also brought it on himself. At this time, he went out to drink wine alone and was ambushed. The brothers had tried their best, and Datang Zun was stabbed seven times to save his life, but he still couldn't be saved. Instead, he was implicated and died.
Six brothers. It is he who is not blessed and cannot bear this wealth!"
Xue Zhi sighed slightly, with a sad look on his face: "But I, the Jianyi Hall, have taken revenge for him. None of the people who besieged him survived. The Great Hall Master has already sent people to the family members he left behind.
With a thousand taels of silver, the heirs left behind will also be supported by my sword clothing hall."
Seeing that Zhuang Wudao was speechless, Xue Zhi turned around and smiled: "We will take care of this matter. Vice-Tang Zhuang just concentrates on the competition. You don't need to worry about these things. Don't take it too seriously and dare to hang out on the streets of Yuecheng."
Of course, who doesn’t put a knife to his neck to fight for wealth and death without complaining?”
Perhaps it was because he owed Zhuang Wudao a favor and knew that Zhuang Wudao had a bright future. Xue Zhi's words were full of relief.
Zhuang Wudao didn't care about Lian Jiu's life or death. This man really brought it upon himself and deserved to die. Only his two old brothers were gone, which made him feel depressed.
The reason why I was angry before was because Qin Feng and others refused to inform them about such a major event as Jianyitang. Now after listening to Xue Zhi’s words, I realized that there was actually an invisible relationship between me and the people of Jianyitang.
of the gap.
He will worship Li Chen and rise to the top. But Qin Feng and his brothers have to continue to make a living in Yue City and roam the streets. Qin Feng needs to achieve success and establish his power, and he cannot and does not want to continue to rely on himself.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Wudao's anger disappeared, but he felt mostly disappointed.
Qin Feng was always looking at Zong Shou's side, Gu Yu, who was standing solemnly with his hands behind his hands, his eyes full of surprise. After a long while, he looked away, smiled sadly, and changed the topic: "I have too many people in Jianyi Hall.
Young Master, it is quite difficult to control the Third Street. My cultivation level as the leader of this hall is also low and I cannot control the situation. This month I am going to retreat and use the power of Blood Yuan Dan to see if I can break into the Qi Training Realm. Everyone
Brother, you can also help me keep an eye on whether there are any qi-training monks in the city who can be recruited recently. Although my Jianyi Hall is not as good as the Thunder Dragon Gang now, I can still afford to raise three or five qi-training monks as offerings. At that time
, who dares to touch my brother from Jianyi Hall?"
Everyone in the hall was refreshed and excited. They all knew that Qin Feng's cultivation aptitude was not inferior to Zhuang Wudao, and he was two years older than Zhuang Wudao. As early as a year ago, he was only one step away from the Qi training realm.
There is a thin line between the two, and there is great hope in using the Blood Essence Pill to impact Qi training.
Furthermore, if we can recruit two or three Qi-training realms to worship and join the group, and have the protection of the Beitang family, it will be easy to suppress these three streets. Everyone can also walk sideways on the streets of Yuecheng.
Qin Feng looked at Wang Wu Xue Zhi again, and was about to say that during this period of seclusion, he would like to ask the two of them to take care of everything in the hall for him.
Zhuang Wudao, on the other hand, shook his head and interrupted: "You can talk about your retreat a little later. I have a business here, and I may need your help. I wonder if 200 brothers can be found in the hall within these ten days?
"
Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and his expression suddenly became serious. Wang Wu and Xue Zhi also looked at each other. Two hundred people were nearly half of the people in Jianyi Hall at this time. The business Zhuang Wudao mentioned was probably not trivial.
The so-called business, to them, is nothing more than killing people and selling goods. Which company are they going to attack?
Ma Yuan had already guessed a thing or two. He was gearing up and said excitedly: "But what about Zhuang Tong?"
※※※※
It was dark at night, and on the Songjiang River two hundred miles away from Yuecheng, a four-story building boat was sailing down the river with its sails fully spread.
Zhuang Xun stood expressionless behind the railing on the fourth floor. Although his expression was calm, his eyes were full of worry as he looked around in all directions.
——Dark clouds cover the moon today, and everything is dark. In fact, he can't see much, but it can give him a little peace of mind, but only a little.
Zhuang Tong was leaning on crutches behind him, but his face was full of confusion and annoyance: "Okay, why do you think of leaving? Are you leaving your sister alone? Are you going to give up the multi-generational family business of our banker?"
"Shut up! You bastard, what do you know? Get back to the cabin!"
Zhuang Xun snorted coldly, suppressing his anger and wanting to turn around and slap Zhuang Xun hard twice.
How could he abandon his own daughter unless he had to? How could he give up so easily if he had not been helpless for the mine that the banker had worked hard for generations?
After that day, there has been no news from either the Thunder Dragon Gang or other channels. However, it is precisely because of the lack of news that people are frightened.
Chen Quan gave up a street without any reason, and the Jianyi Hall where Zhuang Wudao was located also suddenly expanded in power without any reason.
Not long ago, Dongchuan Alley was blocked by the Beitang Guyue family. No one knows what happened inside. All they know is that there were as many as two hundred corpses taken out of the alley.
Afterwards, all the members of the Iron Knife Society of the Thunder Dragon Gang who participated in that day's situation disappeared. They were either silenced or sent to other places, and there was no way to find out what happened.
However, Zhuang Xun had a vague idea that Zhuang Wudao already had the backing of the Gubeitang family, and his status was not low. Even Shen Quan had no choice but to accept the benefits, but turned a blind eye to the Zhuang family.
He has been operating in Yuecheng for decades, but if there is any disturbance, he can judge the situation in the city. How can he stop at this time, when the banker is already in danger?
"Father!"
Zhuang Tong was still dissatisfied, with a stubborn look on his face: "Since father wants to leave, why do you want to marry your sister to Chen Quan as a concubine? Since you have the Thunder Dragon Gang to rely on, why do you want to leave? I'm sorry, I don't understand!
Could it be that Shen Quan has another evil intention? Or has my father offended someone? Make it clear that the child can also give advice to his father."
Zhuang Xun's face twitched for a while, and finally he sighed: "It's not Shen Quan. That bastard has always been vicious, but he still keeps his promise. What I fear is Zhuang Wudao. If I leave too late, I'm afraid that the family will be together."
I will die in his hands. Even now, I am terrified."
Zhuang Tong was slightly stunned? What Zhuang Xun was trying to avoid was actually the rogue gangster who crushed his ankle?
He has been kept at home to recuperate these days. What happened to make Zhuang Xun so afraid?
"Just a few days ago, Zhuang Wudao's Jianyi Tang took over a street from the Thunder Dragon Gang, and Shen Quan didn't even say a word. The Iron Sword Society was also very powerful, with three qi practitioners, but now they are gone. .”
Zhuang Xun said, the sadness in his eyes increased, and he looked down. A total of one hundred and twenty guards were all wearing armor, squatting or sitting behind the railing of the boat. Eighty six-stone bows, facing On the river.
There are also two people practicing Qi and worshiping in the first floor, and they are resting in the guest room on the third floor at the moment. None of this can make him feel much at ease, but the boat is from Tai Feng Shipbuilding, a business run by the eunuch of Yue Town. It is quite powerful on the Songjiang River. There are few water bandits who should attack them, and they have always had a good reputation.
If Zhuang Wudao wants to take action on the river, he must be careful. Going along the river, eight hundred miles away, no matter how powerful Zhuang Wudao is in Yue City, he can't stop them.
However, just a moment later, Zhuang Xun's complexion turned pale. The speed of the ship suddenly dropped sharply. Looking behind him, he saw that the sail had been lowered by half at some point. Not only that, the entire ship was completely lost. To gain control, fight across the river.
"what happened?"
Zhuang Tong was startled and confused, and then he heard several diving sounds coming from both sides of the building boat, and he understood instantly.
There are thieves on the ship! And they are probably Tai Fung Shipping Company, those who operate the ship!
A loud and vigorous laughter also sounded at the same time.
"Haha, Mr. Zhuang Xun, your banker has made a lot of money, and you want to leave now? You, Zhuang Xun, are also considered the number one, but it's a pity that you have offended someone. Even the King of Heaven is here today, and I am afraid that I can't protect you. you!"
"Everyone on the boat, listen, we are here to do something in Wuyu Village. All we need is money, no human life, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Zhuang Xun's face turned livid, and he looked around again. Not far away, he saw countless firelights suddenly lighting up.
There were more than 20 fast boats approaching from all directions. I don't know how many people were on board, holding more than a hundred torches, and the roar was loud.
Looking from a distance, he could see several people standing on the bow of the largest clipper ship. In the middle was a short and stocky man, holding a pair of black axes and a beard as sharp as a needle. He did not recognize this person, but beside him there was The other two young men standing there stung his eyes. One was Qin Feng, and the other was surprisingly Zhuang Wudao!
Zhuang Xun felt depressed and almost vomited blood. He grabbed the railing with his hand, his veins were exposed, and he almost crushed the railing completely.
Zhuang Wudao was smiling slightly and talking to the short and stocky man beside him.
"It's amazing that the boss actually stopped me here."
"That's natural!"
The man was also very proud: "With your news, if I still can't stop him, how can Wuyu Village rely on me to eat on this Songjiang River? These people placed in Tai Feng Shipbuilding are just to find opportunities to do something. Big vote! But did you really think that nothing happened afterwards? Just guarding the eunuch's house. I probably won't mobilize troops for you and me. However, I heard that Zhuang Tong has a close relationship with Shen Quan of the Thunder Dragon Gang. I can't offend this person. rise."
Qin Feng glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "Where did all the nonsense come from? I only give you 30% of the money for Wuyu Water Village. Of course I have my reasons."
