There is a Wu Family Restaurant near the Tianling County Pier in Wuzhou.
This is one of the famous restaurants in Tianling County. It is usually crowded with guests and crowded.
However, today's Wu's Restaurant has been surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers wearing iron armor since Chen time.
A large iron flag was also planted at the top of the restaurant, fluttering vigorously, which made people in the nearby arena change their expressions and make a detour.
A month ago, the Iron Banner Gang invaded Wuzhou, with tens of thousands of eighth-level gang members and dozens of top masters. Their offensive was overwhelming. In just ten days, the iron-barrel-like mountains and rivers of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower were defeated until they were completely defeated.
Collapse of buildings.
Many famous martial arts masters in Wuzhou died in this battle.
In the past, when Chu Xisheng swept across the young generation of Wuzhou and was known as Chu Yida, all the Wuzhou warriors never thought that this man would command tens of thousands of horses to kill and become another overlord on the Grand Canal.
When Chu Xisheng drove the Yuri Shenzhou to the dock, he sensed three powerful auras inside the building.
Those were Situ Tang and his wife and Demon King Yunmeng. They had already arrived early.
Chu Xi smiled and nodded to the soldiers, thanked them for their hard work, and pointed at Feng Liancheng and Gu Mingyue with a slight displeasure: "You guys!"
Feng Liancheng and Gu Mingyue were responsible for conquering this Tianling County, and they have not yet handed it over to Shence Chileitang, who will be guarding this place.
Chu Xisheng had already sent a talisman so that they did not need to greet him, but these two people were still waiting for him here.
It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, and his expression was extremely respectful.
Chu Xisheng showed off the style of a later generation leader and pretended to scold the two of them before walking into the restaurant.
Wu's Restaurant has an excellent location and a great view, but Situ Tang and his wife and Yunmeng Demon King were probably not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so they did not go to the top floor with the best view, but waited in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.
After Chu Xisheng entered, he glanced around and saw that the man and woman sitting in the center were the 'Ming Yue Sword' Situ Tang and 'Qingfeng Sword' Zhu Hongxue.
The man has a majestic appearance, a burly body, as powerful as a mountain, and a face as solemn as iron; the woman has handsome features and a delicate figure, but her temperament is as cold as an iceberg. The chill between her brows and eyes is enough to freeze everyone.
The Demon King of Yunmeng Mountain was sitting in the corner. He was a young man with a straight and handsome face but a bald head. He was dressed in a slightly casual style and was pouring himself a cup of wine with a pot of wine in his hand.
Chu Xisheng and the demon king looked at each other. He bowed his hands and signaled the other party to be calm. Then he led Feng San and Luo Hanzong to the table in the center of the lobby and sat down.
"I wonder why Brother Situ wants to see me?"
He looked at the opposite side with a smile: "If we want to call a truce, don't even mention it. This Grand Canal is related to Chu's great cause, and Chu will decide it."
"Chu Xisheng, you are arrogant——" Qingfeng Sword Zhu Hongxue immediately pressed the sword with her right hand.
Just when she was about to unsheath her sword, Situ Tang reached out and held her down forcefully.
However, this person's face was also extremely cold: "Master Dao did not keep his word. We agreed before to draw the river to rule, but after the Iron Banner Gang destroyed Shuitianhui, they sent their troops north and fought across the river. This is Dao.
What is your morality?"
After Situ Tang said this, Gu Mingyue and Feng Liancheng, who were waiting outside, couldn't help but look at each other.
This flag owner turned out not to be a fool, he actually had a conversation with Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
Chu Xisheng sneered: "At that time, Master Situ did not say that he would block the canal and river transportation, so that the merchant ships of our Iron Flag Gang could not go north, and merchants were not allowed to purchase the goods of my Iron Flag Gang. If Chu does not go north, wait
Die?"
Situ Tang's breath suddenly suffocated.
Chu Xisheng used this excuse to break the contract, leaving Situ Tang speechless.
"This is what the court wants, not what I want."
The blockade of the Iron Banner Gang was ordered by the government.
The Daning court was deeply wary of this Wuji Sword Lord, and had begun to suppress him openly and covertly even before the Iron Banner Gang attacked Shuitianhui.
After the earth-shattering incident at Qianshi Mountain, the situation became even more severe. Not only was it strictly forbidden to use the Iron Flag Gang's ships through the canal, but merchants were also not allowed to trade with the Iron Flag Gang, sell food and weapons, etc.
Of course, at that time, several of the Tieqi Gang's guardians had already crossed the river and marched north, severely defeating Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
After the Iron Banner Gang occupied most of the Grand Canal, the imperial order had become ineffective. Without trading with the Iron Banner Gang, the north-south river transportation would be completely blocked.
"No matter what, the Iron Flag Gang will never sit still and wait for death, so I have decided on this canal."
Chu Xisheng's words were calm but categorical. He picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for himself and the other party: "Qingfeng Mingyue Tower has been in charge of this grand canal for thirteen years. However, thirteen years ago, this piece of land
You also stole it from others.
In the world of martial arts, the strong are respected and the winner is the king. Master Situ should understand this truth. Although you have lost this time, you are still at the top of China with your martial arts. There are many masters under your banner. You can't go anywhere.
?
It's better to be a bachelor and give up the rest of the territory to Chu, so that we can get together and disperse without having to fight for life or death. Of course, if the two posters are unwilling to do so, they must make things difficult for me, so Chu and the Tieqi Gang will join forces
The next thing is."
"Master Dao is so domineering!"
Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but sneer: "We, Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, still have four counties, and there are hundreds of thousands of inner and outer gangs. They are all capable soldiers. Dao Jun wants to wipe them out with just one word."
"Sister Zhu is so ambitious."
Chu Xisheng calmly put the wine glass on the corner of his lips: "However, Mr. Chu also has a warning. The people responsible for the war in the north are no longer the several guardians of my gang, but the old department of Shence Capital, the prince's guard.
, and my generals from the Chu family in the west of Beijing. If you think you can handle it, then continue."
Following Chu Xisheng's words, both Situtang and his wife changed their expressions.
Zhu Hongxue, who was especially young and beautiful, but whom he called his eldest sister, had a pretty face that alternated between green and white.
She had heard of Shence Capital's reputation.
In the era of Qin Muge, the overlord of martial arts, all the divine strategies were invincible in the Northern Territory.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Qin Muge's death, Shen Ce was equally famous.
At Luofengpo, Shen Ce's 100,000-strong army was attacked from both sides. They overcame an army of 200,000 giant spirits and were encircled by Qin Sheng's army of 500,000. They not only retreated calmly, but also caused Qin Sheng to lose more than ten soldiers.
Thousands of giants.
The prince's guard refers to the six commanders of the East Palace who used to be the violent princes - the ones led by the left and right guards are called Shecheng, the ones led by the left and right Siyu are called Luben, and the ones led by the left and right Qingdao are called Zhidang.
At that time, most of the ordinary soldiers under the command of Donggong Liu were old and unusable, but most of the generals were upright and in their prime.
They were carefully selected by Prince Ru to help him rule the world in the future.
The eldest family member of the Chu family in western Beijing is also very difficult to mess with.
Situ Tang knew that since Chu Xisheng's identity was exposed, soldiers from the Chu family's farms and estates in various places would come to seek refuge.
When the Chu family house was in its heyday, there were 100,000 soldiers who were distributed throughout the country to guard the farms. After the death of the eldest house, many people were attached to their old masters, but on the other hand they were ostracized and discriminated against. At this time, when their young master came back to life,
After being born, people from all over the world naturally flocked to join the Iron Banner Gang.
The Chu family in the west of Beijing is a clan created by the founding military god of Daning in the past. These soldiers are trained according to the Chu family's ancestral military skills, and their elites are no less than the Forbidden Army.
The gang members of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower are also known as brave, but compared with these three gangs, they are simply a ragtag group of stragglers.
'Mingyue Sword' Situ Tang thought that Chu Xisheng's move was the same as raising a flag of rebellion.
It is said that the officials in Dongfei Prefecture did not dare to interfere at all. If they dared to say anything, they would be taken out of the official office and chopped with a knife.
Therefore, although the imperial court intends to suppress it, it cannot be implemented effectively. All the government offices are in obedience and trembling, for fear of angering the Iron Banner Gang. Now they are just living like a monk knocking the clock for a day, just messing around.
Chu Xisheng himself did not hide anything and directly spoke out about the rebels appointed by the imperial court.
"Shence Capital, the Sixth Commander of the East Palace, and the generals of the Chu family are all very famous."
Situ Tang let out a breath of turbid air, with a sharp aura in his eyes, and looked at Chu Xisheng like a sword, a gun, a sword and a halberd: "But Master Dao, have you ever heard of the phrase "a trapped beast still fights"? You want to force me, Qingfeng Mingyue Tower,
Even if you are in desperate situation, be careful of having your teeth broken!"
"Can rabbits bite people when they are anxious? Your Highness, Prince Xiang, who is standing behind you, is naturally qualified to fight me to the death."
The corners of Chu Xisheng's lips raised slightly, half-smilingly: "How about the two of you joining our Iron Banner Gang? I will give you the establishment of the three outer halls. I want to monopolize the canal, but I can allow you to build more in Canglang Hebei.
Several counties were used as territory.
By joining forces, our two families will be able to sweep away all the surrounding worldly lords and Jianghu forces. Afterwards, I will share with you two percent of the proceeds from this canal. By then, your income will not decrease but increase, and your king will definitely be very satisfied."
Situ Tang and his wife couldn't help being stunned when they heard this. Why did they start soliciting just as they said it?
Zhu Hongxue thought about her for a moment, then became very moved and turned to look at her husband.
This grand canal, which runs between the Shenxiu River and the Canglang River, is nominally controlled by Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, but in fact all parties have a hand in it.
Their business share only accounts for less than 10%, and they dare not receive the tolls on the waterway from those powerful people and many Shen Sect Demon Sects.
The Iron Flag Gang is different. Who dares not to pay under the sword of Master Wuji Sword?
His sword skills are powerful enough to defeat thousands of armies, and he has so many masters in the Iron Banner Gang that even the Emperor of Daning does not take him seriously.
If the Iron Flag Gang monopolizes the canal revenue, the revenue will be ten times that of the previous Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
Situ Tang's eyebrows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan": "Thank you Lord Dao for your kindness! The two of us, one minister, will not interfere with the two masters!"
Behind the Qingfeng Mingyue Tower was Prince Xiang, and the court knew this very well.
What would Emperor Jianyuan think if they got together with the Iron Banner Gang?
Kuang Jian Feng San, who was sitting next to him, had received Chu Xisheng's spiritual message at this time. He immediately opened his eyes angrily and smashed the wine glass in his hand into powder: "This can't be done, that can't be done either, you guys What on earth do you want to do? Don’t be shameless! My family leader is busy with everything, how can I have time to hang out with you? If you still want to fight, then go back!"
The atmosphere in the building suddenly became colder and tense.
The spiritual thoughts and martial intentions of both sides even confronted each other across a table, causing the nearby void to continuously make a "boo-chi" sound. Some of the surrounding tables, chairs, wooden chopsticks, etc. could not bear it anymore and exploded into wood dust all over the sky.
"Mr. Feng, there is no need for this."
Chu Xisheng looked at the wine glass in his hand with a casual expression: "Actually, it's no wonder that the owner of Situ Tower is like this. The foundation he has worked hard for more than ten years has been handed over to others. No one would be willing to accept it. But the ten years of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower Tens of thousands of people are all elite soldiers trained by His Highness King Xiang. Wouldn't it be a pity to lose them here on the canal?
Let’s look at it from another perspective. Our Iron Banner Gang’s occupation of the canal and the isolation of the north from the south will be a great benefit for King Xiang. In the future, if King Xiang wants to be unified, he can raise his troops to go north and ensure that he has no worries about his future. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Although his tone expressed understanding and persuasion, his demeanor showed the word "arrogant" to the extreme.
Situ Tang's face was green and cold: "Master Dao, don't talk nonsense! My king is loyal to the emperor, and we can learn from it."
"understand!"
Chu Xisheng burst out laughing: "Then Mr. Chu, take one more step back and withdraw from the Grand Canal. As long as the merchant ships of your Prince Xiang Mansion pay the full gate fee according to the specifications, then whether you are selling weapons or food, I, Iron Banner, will help you." Won't stop it.
In addition, when our Iron Banner Gang purchases goods from Xiangzhou, Yangzhou and EZ, we will only buy goods from shops under your name, and vice versa. And if King Xiang wants to raise troops in the future, I can guarantee that no one from the imperial court will buy from them. As the canal goes south, the states downstream of the Shenxiu River will never be able to send troops to attack."
Situ Tang grinded his teeth when he heard this.
The previous conditions were favorable, and Situtang was good at business. As soon as he thought about it, he realized that Chu Xisheng's plan could monopolize the goods trade upstream and downstream of the Shenxiu River, enough to make both families a huge profit, and the income could be several times that of the previous one. .
Only the last few sentences give me a headache.
This Wuji Sword Lord kept saying that he would help His Highness Prince Xiang block the north and south.
If he agreed, wouldn't it mean that the king of his family was planning to rebel?
However, he did not dare to act on his own and said in a cold voice: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Dao."
He took out a conch-shaped magic weapon from his sleeve, closed his eyes and concentrated on the induction.
After a moment, Situ Tang said in a cold voice: "I can agree, but I need to sign a divine contract."
The last time he negotiated with Chu Xisheng, it was just a verbal agreement, and he suffered a big loss in the end.
So this time we must make a divine contract to guarantee it.
Chu Xisheng was stunned when he heard this, then smiled: "Okay!"
He originally wanted to take out a piece of divine contract paper, but Situ Tang obviously couldn't believe him, so he took out a piece of white tiger sub-beast skin and wrote on it.
Chu Xisheng didn't care, thinking that he would save money.
He sipped the wine: "Lord Situ, this divine contract cannot be whatever you say. Your divine contract guide needs to be added to my divine contract heavenly tablet, and it must be witnessed by Zang Tian and Li Tan, and supervised by the Second Book of Commandments.
, otherwise I won’t be able to rest assured.”
Situ Tang thought for a moment and thought it was no big deal.
Just as he was worried about Chu Xisheng, it was natural for the other party to be worried about him.
But just as Situ Tang continued to write, Zhu Hongxue suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked over.
Zhu Hongxue had already held the sword and stood up. Her face was frosty and her eyes were like blades: "I am not willing to give up my foundation of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower like this."
Situ Tang was stunned when he heard this: "Hongxue, you~"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Hongxue snorted angrily: "The Iron Banner Gang took over our territory and killed our brothers. As a result, I didn't say a word, refused to fight, and had to give up the land of the four counties. What kind of talk is this? This matter spread out.
, it will only make people in the world laugh at our lack of courage!"
She stared at Chu Xisheng: "I want to have a fair fight with Dao Lord. Neither side is allowed to use magic weapons. They only use martial arts to determine the outcome, life and death. If I lose, Qingfeng Mingyue Tower will give up the canal, and the grudges will be settled from now on."
"If I win, I don't dare to ask for too much. Each of our two families controls half of this canal. I wonder if Mr. Dao has the guts to accept the challenge?"
Luo Hanzong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
This Zhu Hongxue is not only very courageous, but also a little scheming.
‘Qingfeng Sword’ Zhu Hongxue is ranked twenty-ninth on the local rankings - she was twenty-seventh before, but now she has dropped two places.
Chu Xisheng ranked seventh on the Earth Ranking, and the Divine Machine of Martial Arts ranked him among the top 100 in the Heavenly Ranking—but both evaluations suggested that he had borrowed the help of the divine treasure.
After excluding all magical weapons, the result is uncertain.
Feng San sneered directly: "Shameless! You dare to mention it."
Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but blush slightly on her cheeks.
This is indeed a bit shameless.
Chu Xisheng's martial arts cultivation level is only at the lower level of the fourth level, but Zhu Hongxue is already a master of the upper level of the second level, a full five levels higher than Chu Xisheng.
However, she still looked at Chu Xisheng persistently, with provocation in her eyes.
Chu Xisheng raised the corners of her lips slightly again, showing a hint of embarrassment: "Why not?"
He is looking for someone to establish his authority and secure his ranking on the Heavenly Ranking.
Now someone is coming to my door, and I am asking for it.
Chu Xisheng waved his hand to stop Kuang Jian Feng San who was about to speak to dissuade him.
He glanced around, then looked outside the building: "It's not convenient here. Don't destroy other people's restaurants. Let's go to the pier."
In the past, he came to Tianling County, fought several battles with others, and then left in a hurry.
I didn't expect that when I returned to my old place, I would have to fight with someone again.
※※※※
And just earlier, outside Wu's Restaurant.
Gu Mingyue was sensing the situation inside the restaurant while talking to Feng Liancheng: "You are the first 'divine guard' of the flag master. You should have received the news, right?"
Feng Liancheng clasped his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "You mean the flag master is planning to go north later to complete the secret ritual of the heavens at the fourth level and advance to the martial body? It seems that Brother Gu is also among the followers?"
"By the grace of the flag master, I am honored to accompany you." Gu Mingyue nodded slightly and said in a quiet voice: "Brother Feng, what do you think of this matter?"
"This is naturally a great thing. The banner master's cultivation will improve, and everyone in the Iron Banner Gang will benefit from this."
Feng Liancheng knew that this was not the answer Gu Mingyue wanted to ask, but he did not want to leave any clue in front of Gu Mingyue.
"I'm just worried that the flag owner doesn't cover up the matter at all and doesn't hide anything, so maybe something will change. However, the flag owner is very resourceful and cunning, so he shouldn't be so unwise."
In fact, Chu Xisheng acted in a relatively secretive manner and only informed a few of his subordinates.
The problem is that both he and Gu Mingyue have identity issues, and Chu Xisheng himself knows it too!
This guy just wanted to subdue them, so he kept them in the gang.
So this matter is problematic no matter how you look at it.
Gu Mingyue hears the string song and knows its elegant meaning.
Feng Liancheng was also worried that Chu Xisheng was trying to trick people.
Gu Mingyue rubbed her brows with a headache: "I have a headache. This time when the flag leader goes north, there will be big changes. The dangers are unpredictable. I don't know what to do now."
What he said was cloudy and foggy, but Feng Liancheng understood it as soon as he heard it.
This news must be spread back, but if the forces behind them participate in the siege, they may be tricked by Chu Xisheng, resulting in heavy casualties and losses to grandma's family.
This 'dangerous' actually refers to Chu Xisheng's trap.
"The flag owner is now the target of public criticism in the world, and he is not the only one who is targeting him." Feng Liancheng's expression remained unchanged: "Our soldiers will just cover up the water and earth."
Gu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and thought that it was true.
The forces behind Feng Liancheng indeed have the same plan.
They don't participate themselves, they just pass the news on.
Nowadays, I don’t know how many people regard Chu Xisheng as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of him.
As long as the news spreads that Chu Xisheng intends to advance to the martial arts body, powerful forces will surely come and put Chu Xisheng to death!
The so-called "soldiers coming to block water and earth to cover up" should be used to adapt to changes.
Chu Xisheng had no idea about the private discussions among his subordinates. He, Zhu Hongxue and others flew out of the restaurant and flew to the front of the dock.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the two stood ten feet apart, Gu Mingyue and Feng Liancheng did not dare to whisper anymore. They ran over with a group of soldiers and started to clear the place.
Taking advantage of this time, Situ Tangzheng of 'Ming Yue Sword' and Zhu Hongxue of 'Qingfeng Sword' spoke in secret through voice transmission: "You can attack with all your strength later, be sure not to hurt this boy's life."
Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but glance sideways at Situ Tang, looking surprised.
There are countless people in the world who want Chu Xisheng's life.
Even their king regarded Chu Xisheng as a formidable enemy.
However, Situ Tang had a straight face and cold eyes: "We and I cannot afford to offend such people. Evil people will be punished by evil people, and his life will be taken away by others."
They couldn't withstand the storm afterwards.
Xi Bitian, Gong Wugou, Shui Canglang, Lu Chen, Wuxiang Shenzong - and even the legendary Overlord Qin Muge who may still be alive.
No matter who decides to take revenge on them, it will bring disaster to them.
"Chicken-hearted!"
Zhu Hongxue snorted and withdrew her gaze: "The outcome of this battle is still undecided. I may not be able to defeat him."
But she was full of confidence in herself.
Chu Xisheng is just a low-ranking fourth-level warrior. Without the Chu family's inherited divine treasure and the Bloody Divine Sword, his combat power will definitely not reach the top 100 on the Earth Ranking.
Rumor has it that Chu Xisheng used the God-killing Ultimate move to kill Zhen Tianlai, but isn't Zhen Tianlai still alive?
He was still fine and active.
Chu Xisheng's Yajuan Sword has an impressive record of defeating five million giant spirits.
However, fighting alone, I am not afraid of him!
Zhu Hongxue held an ordinary long sword in her hand. After taking a long breath, she looked at Chu Xisheng opposite with a little expectancy: "The rules of the world, copper coins?"
"good!"
Chu Xisheng also held two swords made of ordinary materials. He responded without hesitation. He raised his hand and took out a copper coin and flicked it upward.
The copper coins flew upwards in an instant, reaching a height of five feet and then slowly falling.
The eyes of everyone around him were attracted, and they felt that this moment was extremely long.
