The main hall was quiet. In addition to the five masters, there were eight people on both sides, namely the elders of the Red Whale Gang and the internal affairs envoy. At this time, the group of people exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
The divine light in Lu Sheng's eyes before had clearly shown that his strength was both internal and external. I don't know if he was able to concentrate or not, but even if he was just a master of understanding, there was no need for him, as long as there was no conflict with everyone.
No one wants to offend others by opening their mouth.
"Since there are no objections, it's settled. Brother Lu Sheng will serve as the sixth foreign affairs envoy of the Red Whale Gang. He will take over and be responsible for Wu San's manpower area. Doesn't everyone have any objections?" Hong Mingzi, the leader of the gang, said with a smile.
"Isn't there something wrong with this?" Deputy gang leader Sun Zhanglan said calmly with lowered eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ying looked at this person. He knew that the other person planned to let his niece Gongsun Jing take over Wu San's manpower. It was common sense to object at this time.
Gongsun Zhang Lan is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, wearing a black robe, with his hands inserted into each other's sleeves.
He glanced at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "Although Brother Lu is very powerful, it only represents his personal strength. If it is really his turn to manage the power, this cannot be achieved by individual bravery.
Although Wu San is dead, he still has a lot of manpower and property in his area. Just handing it all over to a newcomer who just joined the gang. What does this make the other old people in the gang think? They have not done anything yet, so they will receive this generous gift.
It’s against the rules.”
"Everyone knows how Wu San died. Now there are people who want to take over his manpower and property, but no one dares to take over the most dangerous thing. Just wanting benefits without taking risks is not such a good thing in the world. Gongsun
Gang leader, although your niece Gongsun Jing has extraordinary strength and intelligence, but if you want the gap left by Wu San, why not take over that matter as well?" Chen Ying sneered.
"I didn't mention Xiaojing's matter. I was just the deputy gang leader in charge of law enforcement. I stood up and said a fair word for the old people in the gang. Why are so many old people working hard for the gang for so many years, not as good as a talented person?"
A new member of the gang?" Gongsun Zhang Lan said calmly.
Chen Ying sneered: "Then what do you mean? If you suddenly jump out at this time, even if you don't mean it, you will give people this meaning."
"Whether it will cause misunderstanding to others, I don't care about that. As the deputy gang leader who manages the gang's laws and disciplines, I have the right to comment on anything that goes against the rules." Gongsun Zhang Lan said calmly.
The two of them said something to each other, but no one was convinced by the other. But it made Lu Sheng a little impatient.
"If there's anything to argue about, anyone who feels dissatisfied can stand up and fight with me." He licked his lips and stood up.
His eyes began to wander over the strongest people.
"The arena is about the people in the arena, whoever has the toughest fist will be the one to speak!" Lu Sheng began to move his fist.
Gongsun Zhang Lan paused for a moment and looked at Lu Sheng. He felt a chill running down his back from being stared at by those eyes. He calmed down slightly.
"We are all brothers in the same gang. They will fight and kill anyone who comes up. If word of this gets out..."
"This is called internal communication. Come on, you're welcome. If you don't accept it, I'll stand here and let's all communicate together." Lu Sheng felt his blood boiling.
He now likes fighting more and more. The time he fought with the ghost on the boat made him truly feel his strong sense of existence.
The feeling that made his blood flow freely and his spirit sublime, coupled with the excitement of walking on the edge of life and death, made him faintly fascinated.
"Brother Lu, you may have some misunderstandings. I am not against you taking over Wu San..." Gongsun Zhang Lan's face twitched.
"It's okay, come on, let's have a fight." Lu Sheng stared at him, his eyes brightening. He felt that this man must be very durable.
"Brother Lu, I think you are really..."
"Come on, come on, just one game."
Gongsun Zhanglan felt that the blood vessels in his forehead were a little tight. He cleared his throat and felt a fire rising in his heart. But with so many people watching at this time, he had to suppress his anger and his tone contained a threat.
"Internal fighting is against the rules of the gang. Besides, there is a huge disparity in skill between you and me. The Xuanyuan Palm I have cultivated is extremely powerful. Every move I make will kill you or maim you. If I accidentally hurt you, it will be hard to talk to...
.”
"Hurt me? Either death or disability??" Lu Sheng's eyes gradually became bloodshot, and a weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Isn't this good? If you are timid and don't try your best, then it's just playing tricks!"
His eyes were fixed on Gongsun Zhang Lan.
"Come on, let's have a fight. If you beat me to death, I deserve it!"
A strong murderous intention gradually spread from his body.
Gongsun Zhang Lan looked at him and said nothing for a while.
He felt that he seemed to have underestimated the arrogance of this new member of the gang. The other party seemed to have no concern about offending others, but did whatever he wanted without any scruples.
"It seems that little brother Lu really wants to fight..." Gongsun Zhang Lan finally had a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, and he almost wanted to kill this newcomer on the spot.
But he knew that the old gang leader was here, and Chen Ying was here, so even if he wanted to take action, it would not be easy for him to succeed.
"Okay, okay." Sure enough, the old gang leader spoke up and said with a smile, "That's settled the matter. What Zhang Lan said makes sense. It's really inappropriate to take charge of such a large industrial power without making any achievements. It's true.
You can hand over part of it first, and then hand it over completely if that matter can be resolved.
I don’t know how Brother Lu wants to decide?”
Suddenly, pairs of eyes were fixed on Lu Sheng to see how he would answer.
"Isn't there some trouble in Wu San's territory? Can you tell me what the trouble is?" Lu Sheng saw that the fight was unsuccessful, and his blood gradually calmed down. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not in a hurry. There were so many masters here.
, if you want to play, you can always find someone to play with.
"Wu San was the previous foreign affairs envoy. There was an iron mine within his sphere of influence that was very important to the gang. There was something wrong with the mine. When he went to investigate, he mysteriously disappeared. When he was found, he was already dead.
In a forest outside the mine." Chen Ying replied.
Lu Sheng thought carefully and said, "How is Wu San's cultivation?"
"A master in the realm of Tongyi has already reached the level of concentration. He has a flying lancet in his hand and appears like ghosts." Chen Ying said seriously, "If we really want to fight, we can rank among the top ten in the gang."
"Top ten?" Lu Sheng squinted his eyes and glanced at all the masters present. From the energy in his eyes, he could feel who were the masters at the same level as him.
Judging from previous perceptions, six of the people present were at the level of concentration both internally and externally. Being ranked in the top ten means that Wu San is also the strongest among all the people in the gang.
One of four people.
"How's it going? Are you confident to take it?" Gongsun Zhang Lan chuckled.
Lu Sheng was a little unhappy. This person was always against him, which seemed a bit unreasonable. From the beginning to now, this person had been finding trouble one after another, just because he didn't want him to take over Wu San's industrial power. Maybe he had other motives.
Lu Sheng is a bold and careful person.
Just like in the previous scene at the Red Mansion, he seemed to be drinking and eating meat with his friends, but in fact he was always wary. When eating, he also carefully observed the other two people who ate first to see if they were poisoned.
Eat it later.
If you were totally unprepared, you wouldn't bring a knife with you in advance. How many people would bring a knife with them while having fun?
If it weren't for his previous encounter with a strange painted boat, Lu Sheng wouldn't have been relatively cautious, and his idea was indeed proved in the end.
But this time, when faced with the trouble that led to the death of a Tongyi master before, he did not blindly accept it. Instead, he carefully asked Wu San about his strength.
"Whether I have confidence or not, does it have anything to do with you?" Since the other party insisted on finding trouble, Lu Sheng refused to be polite to him and fought back.
Gongsun Zhang Lan was blocked for a moment, and his face looked bad for a moment, but he recovered immediately and just sneered at Lu Sheng, and didn't say much after that.
There were already people whispering to each other in the main hall. The elders came closer and spoke in a low voice. Although their voices were low, they were not inaudible.
Ouyang Ningzhi whispered to another middle-aged woman and looked at Mr. Wang with a slight frown.
Mr. Wang was the internal affairs envoy and he valued Lu Sheng very much. When he saw the leader of the Gongsun clan trying to obstruct him, Mr. Wang's face turned red. He wanted to stand up and speak several times, but was stopped by his old friends around him.
"Old Wang's ancestral martial arts skills were broken, and he was able to become extremely strong with the wrong methods used by an outsider. This shows that Lu Sheng's talent is terrifying and rare. He must have sent a letter to notify him as soon as possible.
His eldest brother came. The leader of the Gongsun clan thought that he had support, so he didn't take it seriously and was not afraid of offending him. But if Wang Yuanshan arrives, this matter will be revealed." Ouyang Ningzhi said in a low voice.
"Wang Yuanshan?" The middle-aged woman dressed as a Taoist nun next to her asked in shock, "But Wang Yuanshan, who is known as the Nine Directions Sword Palm?"
"Exactly. This one is extraordinary... If he really comes." Ouyang Ningzhi did not continue. She estimated that this was also the key reason why the foreign envoys did not want to offend Lu Sheng. With Wang Laowang
With his big mouth, Lu Sheng's story may have spread to the entire gang's top brass.
At this time in the main hall, Lu Sheng also roughly asked about Wu San's affairs, and roughly understood the causes and consequences.
It's very simple.
Next to the most important iron mine in the gang, something happened to Zhuangzi.
If something goes wrong with Zhuangzi, then something will happen. But on the only way to the iron mines, if you want to go to the iron mines, you must pass by Zhuangzi.
After several miners disappeared on their way to dig, the gang attracted great attention and sent people to inquire and investigate. As a result, the people who went to inquire also disappeared.
The gang quickly defined the matter as a black disaster, and the foreign affairs envoy took over the matter.
The reason why each of these foreign envoys is willing to deal with dangerous matters such as black disasters is because of the excellent welfare rewards.
The rights and interests of a foreign envoy are not comparable to those of the leader of a gang. And this position is mostly rotated, and is not always held by one person. Each rotation takes one year.
Most of the senior officials took turns to serve as foreign envoys. This was the case for Wu San at that time. He had just taken up the post and knew the dangers of black trouble. To be cautious, he brought a full team of people, five people in total, all of whom were at the Kone level.
, went to investigate the matter.
As a result, Wu San disappeared, and the people he took there also disappeared, and his body was later found in the woods.
