Sure enough, Wang Li was eager for revenge and didn't think much about the reason. Xu Zhi was cunning and cunning, so he immediately asked Long Chen how he knew.
"The Holy One sent me here to quell the pirates, so I naturally have eyes and ears to accompany me. Although I know their location, I don't have enough manpower."
"Another point is that there are too many people in Qianjiang County, and my soldiers and horses have difficulty moving. It is best for you to take action."
After Long Chen finished speaking, Xu Zhi had several thoughts in his mind.
Long Chen also has a secret force following him. Although this secret force is not very aggressive, its ability to spy on information is very powerful.
Long Chen found the person that Xu Zhi and the others couldn't find, so Long Chen must have figured out the matter of the three of them colluding with the pirates.
Therefore, Xu Zhi only has two choices: first, kill Long Chen; second, kill the secret guard and cooperate with Long Chen.
The first choice was the last resort, because killing Long Chen would definitely attract the imperial army, and they could only withdraw from Qianjiang County and become pirates.
"You want us to fight with the pirates and reap the benefits?"
Yuan Tengfei's voice was cold, and his dissatisfaction was obvious.
Long Chen was not angry and said: "My people are waiting outside the west gate. They didn't enter the city because they were afraid that you might misunderstand."
"Now that we've said it, how do you decide? If we kill the secret guards together, my people will enter the city now."
Yuan Tengfei and Wang Li both looked at Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi was the shrewdest here.
Xu Zhi turned around and asked, "Master, what do you think?"
Behind the screen, Monk Fayin walked out.
Fayin touched his bald head. He came here today to do something to save Wang Zhong, and he was just hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping.
Fayin smiled at Long Chen and said hello: "The poor monk is polite."
Long Chen smiled: "Master is right."
Fayin said: "We have become brothers with Master Long. The secret guards are targeting you, and they are targeting us. The poor monk thought that we should work together to destroy the secret guards!"
Wang Li shouted: "I'm going to gather people!"
Wang Li turned around and was about to go out, but Xu Zhi said: "Master Long, we will help you eliminate the secret guards. The money for recruiting soldiers..."
At the critical moment, Xu Zhi wanted to bargain.
Long Chen said: "After destroying the secret guards, you will make the pirates withdraw from Zhenhai County. Just give me 10,000 taels of silver this year."
Xu Zhi, Yuan Tengfei, and Fayin were shocked. They guessed correctly. Long Chen already knew about their collusion with the pirates.
Now that the matter has been revealed, Xu Zhi did not hide anything and said: "Okay, if you don't keep your word, our third grandfather's name is not in vain."
Xu Zhi was threatening Long Chen, if Long Chen didn't keep his word, they would find a way to kill Long Chen.
Long Chen chuckled and said: "Brother Xu is joking, he earns tens of thousands taels of income every year, why don't I want it?"
Xu Zhi immediately said: "Then gather people and destroy the hidden guards!"
Yuan Tengfei sneered: "Qianjiang County is our territory. If you make trouble on our territory, you should be damned!"
Long Chen took out a picture, put it on the table, pointed at the red dots and said: "These places marked in red are where the secret guards hide. There are marks where they live. These people are all foreigners. Find out whether they are
question."
Wang Li stared at the map and shouted outside: "Everyone in the Wang family assemble!"
Long Chen said: "I suggest sealing the city gate immediately, and my people will raid the formation outside the city to prevent them from escaping."
"Of course, if you are afraid that I will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, my people will enter the city immediately."
Xu Zhi waved his hand and said, "If Master Long doesn't take action, we still have some strength."
"We just need Master Long to fight with us."
Xu Zhi was cunning. He was afraid that Long Chen would run away, so he kept Long Chen by his side as a hostage.
Long Chen smiled, pointed at the map and said, "No problem, let's go find the leader of the secret guards. They have two leaders, one at the Market Inn and the other at the Yuelai Inn."
"The leader of Yuelai Inn has a very high level of cultivation, at the realm of the Martial Emperor; the leader of the Market Inn has a lower level of cultivation, he should be in the middle stage of a king, but he is very good at hidden weapons and poisons, so be careful!"
Xu Zhi and others were originally full of confidence, but when they heard that there was a master in the Martial Emperor realm, their faces turned ugly.
There are only a handful of warriors in the Martial Emperor realm. The one with the highest cultivation here is Xu Zhi, who is only in the middle stage of the King. Wang Li has just broken through to the King, and Yuan Tengfei is only at the peak of the Grandmaster level.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and several people stopped talking.
Seeing their cowardice, Long Chen said: "I will deal with this one in the Martial Emperor realm. You all go to the market inn."
Xu Zhi was worried that Long Chen was deceiving, so he said: "Nephew Wang, you and Mr. Long go to the Yuelai Inn. It is your family's property and you are familiar with it. Let's go to the Market Inn."
Wang Li nodded and said: "Okay!"
After making the decision, Long Chen sent a knight guard out of the city and asked Dugu Jiali to guard the four city gates so that the secret guards and people from the Imperial City Department could not escape.
Xu Zhi immediately issued an order to the whole city and closed the four city gates. The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.
Fayin sat in the governor's mansion and ordered his men to go to the assassin's hiding place to surround him and kill him.
Long Chen took Wang Li to Yuelai Inn.
"Nephew Wang, do you have any brothers in your family?"
Long Chen asked on the horse.
Wang Li was stunned for a moment and asked: "What do you mean?"
Long Chen kindly reminded: "The leader of the secret guard is named Wuming, and his martial arts skills are very high. Don't be impulsive later, follow me. I don't want Third Brother Wang to be the last to die!"
Wang Li was very proud and unhappy after hearing this, and said: "Master Long, don't scare me, I just want to see what a master in the Martial Emperor realm looks like!"
Wang Li turned around and said to the thugs at home: "Please show your strength to me, don't let Mr. Long say that we are worthless and just like eunuchs!"
The thugs below laughed.
Zhang Qian and Wu Jian looked dissatisfied, but Long Chen waved his hand to signal them not to be angry.
When they arrived at the door of the inn, the owner and waiters of the inn saluted when they saw Wang Li coming.
They had just gone to the house to pay their respects in the morning. The inn was a business place and it was not convenient for them to pay their respects, so they did not wear mourning clothes.
"The eldest son..."
As soon as the boss came out, Wang Li waved his hand and motioned for him to get out of the way.
"Which room is it in?"
Wang Li asked.
Long Chen pointed to the room where Wuming was and said: "That's the room!"
Wang Li held a big knife in his hand, jumped up from his horse and rushed towards the window of the room.
With a swing of the machete, the wooden window was smashed into pieces, and Wang Li fought his way in.
The innkeeper was shocked. He didn't understand why Wang Li took action when he came over.
The thugs under his command said hello and rushed upstairs from the stairs.
Before these thugs could enter the door, there was a muffled sound from upstairs, and Wang Li flew out. The big knife in his hand fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Zhang Qian and Wu Jian wanted to rush forward, but Long Chen stopped them and said: "Guard the perimeter and kill the deputy general and others!"
After saying that, Long Chen held the spear and flew into the single room upstairs.
